Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 194 Succession
Every journey has an end.The closer you get to the end point, the more you will feel that the journey is short.

In the blink of an eye, almost two months have passed since Lin Xiaoxiao's medical tour around the world.Their route started from Xianyang, drew an ellipse and then returned to Xianyang.

It was golden autumn when I set off, and it was early winter when I returned.

Depart from the post station early this morning and arrive in Xianyang before dusk.

Xiao Yingzheng was a little lethargic.Even Ding could see the loss.

Of course, returning to Xianyang is not as comfortable as being outside.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Yingzheng.

His age is just the time to grow taller.Lin Xiaoxiao made him drink a glass of goat milk every day.After two months, I can clearly feel that he is taller.His originally fair complexion also turned a little darker, and he looked healthier.

Lin Xiaoxiao told Xiao Yingzheng: "You and Xiaoding's iron swords are temporarily stored in Mr. Hu's house, but you must insist on exercising after you go back, and don't slack off."

Xiao Yingzheng said: "I discussed it with Xiaoding, we will practice with branches after we go back, and we won't tell mother about it."

"Hiding it to your mother?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

Xiao Yingzheng's eyes darkened: "My mother has soft ears, and she always listens to people talking in a mess. I don't want her to worry about me, so I keep it from her. Sooner or later, Xiaoding and I avoid other people to practice martial arts. Yes."

The messy people around Zhao Ji?

Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed, and she asked, "Do you recognize Lu Buwei?"

Xiao Yingzheng suddenly lowered his head, looking displeased: "He is a guest of my father, and I know my mother well, and occasionally he will give me advice on my homework."

It seems that Xiao Yingzheng dislikes Lu Buwei very much.Sure enough, children's hearts are the most sensitive.

Lin Xiaoxiao said: "Heaven will send a great mission to human beings, they must first suffer from their minds and wills, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and mess up their actions. Therefore, the heart and patience have benefited what they can't do. Xiaozheng, although you are still young, you still have a lot to learn, including patience."

Xiao Yingzheng looked up at Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao said: "When you are weak, you must learn to be patient. When you become strong in the future, and then look back at those who bullied you, it is not as good as passing by. King Qin needs Lu Buwei, and you also need his help. You have to cultivate Only in the future will it be possible to break free from his control."

Xiao Yingzheng nodded silently.

Time flies, and another half a year has passed.King Xiaowen's mourning period has finally come to an end.

Qin Prince Chu Jiaguan ascended the throne, once again pardoning the world.

The Qin people finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they can start entertaining again.Speaking of it, during the funeral of King Xiaowen, the court dealt with more than 30 officials who violated the rules, large and small.

Under Lu Buwei's operation, Qin Prince Chu finally canonized Zhao Ji as queen, but not the crown prince.

Qin Prince Chu is only 32 years old this year, he has a lot of time, and he is not in a hurry to establish a prince.

In June, Qin Prince Chu appointed Lu Buwei as Xiangbang, named Wenxinhou, and ate [-] households in Luoyang, Henan.

In the eighth month, Duke Wen of Eastern Zhou conspired with the princes to attack Qin.

Qin Prince Chu ordered Lu Buwei to lead the army to attack the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, and moved the Eastern Zhou Duke Yuyang to gather.The king of Qin bestowed the land of Yang people on the king of Zhou and offered him sacrifices.From then on, the Great Zhou Dynasty disappeared.

Lin Xiaoxiao received a new order from Qin Prince Chu.The original decree given to her by the emperor of Zhou has been invalidated.

In the same year, Prince Qin Chu ordered general Meng Ao to attack South Korea, and South Korea was forced to cede Chenggao, Gong and other places.The territory of Qin State extended to Daliang, and Sanchuan County was initially set up.

In the following year, civil strife broke out in Song State.Song Guohua finally got the chance to recuperate, but it became a reminder to destroy the country.External turmoil is gone, but internal turmoil has arisen again.Qi, Chu, Wei, and the three countries joined forces to destroy Song.

Prince Chu of Qin ordered Meng Ao to attack Zhao, and seized 37 cities including Taiyuan, Yuci, Xincheng, and Langmeng.

In the fall of this year, Lin Xiaoxiao took Xiao Yingzheng on another medical tour around the world.This time their route was different from last year, and they chose to go east for a medical tour.

In March of another year, Qin Prince Chu ordered General Meng Ao to attack Gaodu and Ji in Wei State, and Wang Lu attacked Shangdang County and established Taiyuan County.

In April, Lord Xinling, son of Wei, joined forces with Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, and Chu to defeat the Qin army in the south of the Yellow River, and Meng Ao retreated.The allied forces of the five countries took advantage of the victory and pursued to Hangu Pass, but the Qin army could not retreat.

After this battle, Lord Xinling became famous all over the world.

Qin Prince Chu was furious about losing the battle, and wanted to imprison Wei Crown Prince Zeng in Qin State as a hostage, but he listened to the persuasion of his ministers to give up this idea.

Qin Prince Chu sent people to Wei State with ten thousand gold to separate the relationship between Wei Wang and General Wei Wuji, and at the same time sent people to Wei State to pretend to congratulate Wei Wuji on his ascension to the throne.As a result, King Wei became suspicious of Wei Wuji.Wei Wuji lost the military power of Wei State, and the plan of the Five Kingdoms to attack Qin failed.

Just when the people of Qin were in high spirits, bad news came.

In May, Qin Prince Chu occasionally caught a cold and died of a serious illness.Qin Prince Chu passed away after only three years on the throne.

In May of the third year of King Zhuangxiang of Qin, King Zhuangxiang passed away at the age of 35.

Under the auspices of Lu Buwei, the 13-year-old Gong Zizheng succeeded King Qin.Because Yingzheng was young when he came to the throne, he respected Lu Buwei as his second father, and all state affairs were controlled by Lu Buwei.

Therefore, the state of Qin began to mourn for King Zhuangxiang of Qin for a period of one year.

Lin Xiaoxiao had anticipated this and returned to Laiqi Mountain ahead of schedule.

This year, Lin Xiaoxiao still patrols the world, but Ying Zheng and Xiao Ding are missing from the team.

After several years of visiting doctors, Lin Xiaoxiao has more than 3 points.This is also caused by two years of mourning period, not daring to make a big announcement, and traveling in a low-key manner.

Ying Zheng is different from Zi Chu and Ying Zhu.Because he was young, even after a year of mourning, he still could not take charge of the government.Generally speaking, he has to wait until he is 20 years old to hold the crown ceremony before he can take office.

Since he can't be in charge, Yingzheng doesn't need to go to court.He doesn't like to stay in the palace, and often goes out in micro clothes.It's just that he is fledgling and dare not leave Xianyang City without authorization.

The past few years are the critical time for Yingzheng to establish values.

Lin Xiaoxiao changed the original annual medical visit to twice a year.The time was chosen in early spring and late autumn, and Ying Zheng participated in microservices every time.

Ying Zheng dared to leave Xianyang only after following Lin Xiaoxiao on medical tour.Every time he participated in a medical tour, Lu Buwei had to approve it, and Lu Buwei didn't care about him.

If there is anyone in this world who would be feared by Lu Buwei, Yu Jingzi, a girl from Kunlun Mountain, is definitely one of them.As long as they have seen her "magic skills", no one dares to doubt her identity, and no one dares to confront her.

In fact, apart from leading Yingzheng on medical tours, Lin Xiaoxiao has never interfered with Qin's official affairs.This is also one of the reasons why no one in the Qin court touched her.

In the blink of an eye, it came to the fifth year of King Qin Yingzheng, and at this time, Yingzheng was already gone.

It's the beginning of spring again, and five days later, Ying Zheng will visit Qin State again with the Kunlun Mountain female doctor.The annual medical tour is what he looks forward to the most. As early as three days ago, Ying Zheng ordered Xiaoding to prepare his luggage.

Ying Zheng follows Lin Xiaoxiao on medical tours twice a year, but this matter is still a secret.

Gein and their routes are different every time, and they are all decided by Lin Xiaoxiao alone.However, Yingzheng has not yet been in power, and the courtiers do not need to ask him about state affairs, and no one has ever discovered that Yingzheng will leave Xianyang twice a year.

In the past few days, Ying Zheng has been in high spirits.Especially today, he is going to have a banquet with Queen Mother Zhao Ji and Zhongfu Lu Buwei.The Queen Mother and Father Zhong are also the only two people who know that he is leaving Xianyang.

At the banquet, Ying Zheng saw a strange man standing behind the queen mother, so he asked the eunuch standing next to him about his identity.

"The person behind the empress dowager looks strange, and a newcomer has entered the harem?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the eunuch's name is Lai Ai, and it was presented by Lu Xiangjin to the Queen Mother, saying that it was a good case." The case is the ancient massage.

Ying Zheng nodded knowingly, looked at the Queen Mother Zhao Ji and said with concern: "I heard that the Queen Mother was not feeling well the day before yesterday, but is she feeling better?"

Zhao Ji's complexion was crimson, and she seemed to be a little more beautiful than when King Zhuang Xiang was alive.

"A few days ago I lost my waist during the game. Lu Xiangwen said that he sent Lai Ai into the palace. In the past few days, he has been giving me massages with tricks, and I really feel better."

Ying Zheng said: "It's because they swayed during the game, it must be that those servants are negligent in serving them, has the Empress Dowager ever punished them for their dereliction of duty?"

Zhao Ji said: "Where is their dereliction of duty, it's just my own carelessness. If they are punished, no one will want to play with this old woman like me in the future."

Zhao Ji seemed to be subconsciously angry.

Ying Zheng's eyes flashed, and he lowered his head to suppress the disgust in his eyes.

King Zhuang Xiang has passed away for five years.Zhao Ji is still young, not yet 40 years old.Years in the palace are lonely, Yingzheng is not yet married and takes concubines, the master of the harem is the queen mother Zhao Ji.Because she couldn't stand her loneliness, Zhao Ji often played ridiculous games with palace people in the harem.

Ying Zheng heard something from Xiao Ding, but he didn't interfere because of his deep bond with Zhao Ji's mother and son.It's just that Ying Zheng doesn't like Zhao Ji's behavior from the bottom of his heart.

After the banquet, return to the palace.

Ying Zheng called Xiao Ding.

"Has someone entered the Empress Dowager's Palace again?"

"Mr. Lu sent it here, and said it was specially used to serve the Empress Dowager's case. He only entered the palace three days ago. It is said that the Empress Dowager loves it."

Ying Zheng was a little angry, but when he thought that Zhao Ji was his mother, he became discouraged again.He still remembers the years when he was in Zhao country, during those years, their mother and son depended on each other and hid in Tibet.

Ying Zheng sighed: "Forget it, have all the people in the palace been deployed?"

"It's all arranged, and there are six more people than last year."

"Let them keep an eye on the empress dowager's palace more. Don't worry about them playing around in the harem, as long as they are not allowed to play outside. If someone speaks loudly outside, they will be dealt with directly."

"Follow the king's orders."

"Tomorrow I will leave the palace and go to Chang Wenjun's house."

"Do you want to inform Mr. Changping to go?"

"No, I'll go to Mr. Changping's house in the future."

Both Lord Changping and Lord Changwen belonged to the Xiong family of the Chu royal family.They were officials in the Qin State, because the Xiong family of the Chu State had always been the relatives of the Qin State, and several queens of the Qin State came from the Xiong family.

When Yingzheng was a child, he went out of the palace to play in Xianyang City in private, often accompanied by the children of Lord Changping and Lord Changwen.Therefore, he has a good personal relationship with these two families.

On the day of departure, Yingzheng and Xiaoding drove out from Haomen and headed for Yujing Temple.

In the past few years, Lin Xiaoxiao's reputation has grown, and more and more people have come here inexplicably.It was impossible for Lin Xiaoxiao to meet them one by one, but she couldn't refuse them.

So, she separated a part of her mansion and built a Taoist temple, which she named Yujing Temple.The plaque of Yujingguan was written by Yingzheng himself and issued by the imperial court.Yujing Temple is officially recognized as the place where Kunlun Mountain women walk.

Yingzheng and Xiaoding came to the gate of Yujing Temple.Lin Xiaoxiao and Hu Zigui were already waiting here.The three carriages met and went to the city gate together.

After leaving the city, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

According to previous habits, stop to collect luggage.Lin Xiaoxiao put all the large luggage of Ying Zheng and the others into the warehouse.

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao again after half a year, Ying Zheng was very happy, and offered her the fruit he brought from the palace to taste like a treasure.

Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't too polite, she took it and ate it.It is indeed the craftsmanship of the imperial chef, and it is more delicious than all the pastries that Lin Xiaoxiao has eaten.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Ying Zheng, and estimated that he was almost two heads taller than her.

"Xiaozheng, you seem to have grown taller again, how tall are you now?"

"Eight feet and six inches," Ying Zheng said with a smug face, his eyes swept over the bearded Gui who was half a head shorter than himself, "I just taught the palace servants to measure it for me a few days ago."

Lin Xiaoxiao habitually stood on tiptoe and patted Ying Zheng's shoulder: "You can't grow any longer, I can hardly reach your shoulder."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng immediately bent down.

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and took two more shots.

Hu Zigui came over: "Shannv, where are we going this time?"

Shannu said seriously: "Going to the old Song Dynasty, I want to go to Taoqiu to see my old friends."

The state of Song had been destroyed for several years, and Tao Qiu returned to the state of Wei.

The route of this medical tour almost coincides with their first medical tour.

A few days later, a group of people came to Lijia Village.

They once heard the story of Li Yong, a lame young man, and Hui Niang, a crazy and infatuated girl.This time around, it is different from the past.

To commemorate the past, Lijia Village no longer has only one family. It seems that there are nearly a hundred families living here.

Li Yong's mother is still alive and looks healthy.And Li Yong and Hui Niang already have two children.

Speaking of which, after Yingzheng succeeded to the throne, Qin has not had any large-scale foreign wars in the past five years.Lu Buwei is worthy of being a businessman, and he pays more attention to letting the people recuperate than the previous King Qin.

Lin Xiaoxiao and his group approached Li Yong's house again.Except for Hui Niang, Aunt Li and Li Yong recognized them.

Aunt Li looked at the tall Ying Zheng, and said with a smile, "Oh, is this the little brother from five years ago? He is so tall, he is really a good-looking talent."

Ying Zheng was so embarrassed by the praise, he smiled honestly while helping Xiao Ding move things.

Li Yong stepped forward to salute Lin Xiaoxiao and Hu Zigui, but Hu Zigui stopped him.

"I'm traveling in a micro-clothes, I don't want to reveal my identity, and I'm exempt from all customary etiquette."

Just like last time, Lin Xiaoxiao and his group ate a meal at Li's house, left behind a bunch of things and left.

Everyone was very heavy when they left last time, but this time it was much better.

The Li family stood at the door of their house and watched them off.

After Lin Xiaoxiao and his group disappeared, Li Yong couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This is the first time I've seen such an approachable nobleman."

Aunt Li said: "This is the blessing of our family."

Hui Niang hugged her youngest son and stood on tiptoe to look around: "Aren't they practicing medicine? Where did they come from?"

Aunt Li said: "He cured your illness, so he is the nobleman of our family."
