My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 393: Put yourself to death and survive (please order all the monthly tickets for rewards!)

Li Xin couldn't help but ask, "Change of luck?"

He helped Su Ping retreat, leaving Li Xin alone to drink with him in the snow. The indoor lamps are lit,

"Have you heard the story of Huang Di's battle with Chi You?"

"Well...it is said that the Yellow Emperor lost nine out of nine battles. Finally, with the help of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, he succeeded in defeating Chi You and unified China."

"From your tone, it sounds like Huang Di is useless."

Li Xin confessed, "Nine Heaven Mysteries descended to earth to help mortals. Doesn't this further illustrate how ridiculous we humans are. Nothing can be accomplished. Nine battles and nine defeats. Without the Nine Heavens Mysteries, the Yellow Emperor would definitely lose again."

"Huang Di was defeated in nine out of nine battles, and he still stood up in the face of failure. This shows that Huang Di is the bravest man. Because he dared to face failure, why did Huang Di become very useless when he got to General Li?"

This sentence stung Li's confidence.

He looked at Fusu and was speechless for a long time.

"We Chinese people have always firmly believed that the most profound failure and the most torturous suffering are almost the darkest nights that must pass before all great achievements are accomplished."

"The Yellow Emperor treated the defeated Emperor Yanyan and his people with kindness, and therefore gained the respect of Emperor Yan. It is said that this is because the two emperors, Yan and Huang, were originally from the same ancestor. The two tribes formed an alliance and intermarried for generations, and they have been together for thousands of years. Descendants of Yan and Huang for all generations."

"War is for peace and for a better life. Since the Yellow Emperor, the Chinese have understood this truth."

"As has happened repeatedly in history, there is no way to explain the turning points that lead to death and survival."

"I have always believed that those who want to do great things must learn to rush. When things are obviously going to be successful, and many people are rushing to do it, be cautious and don't rush in."

"But what later generations wondered was why it was nine times. The ancients believed that this contained special hints."

But when this familiar story was narrated from the prince's mouth, Li Xin inexplicably felt that he was filled with strength again deep in his heart.

"This child is one of the most important figures in ancient history and legends. His surname is Gongsun and his given name is Xuanyuan. Our descendants all respectfully call him the Yellow Emperor."

Fusu's words were not very impassioned or passionate.

"And when things are at a loss, or even hopeless, it's time to get in quickly. Because this is the precursor to the real great victory."

"The Book of Changes said that on the 9th day of the lunar month, flying dragons were in the sky, which would bring great benefits to the people. In a critical situation, the goddess descended to earth and stopped the heavy rain. The weather suddenly cleared up. While the enemy was stunned and at a loss what to do, Huangdi commanded his army to cover up and kill them."

This kind of power is like spring water, not surging and exciting like the waves of the sea, but quietly nourishing Li Xin's withered and dead heart.

"Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor lost nine out of nine battles. This record sounded hopeless at the time."

[In the pre-Qin era, the concept of destiny played a very important role in people's minds. 】

Originally, the defeat made him feel very ashamed and his face was without luster; but after listening to the prince's words, Li Xin thought of taking another step forward.

"We, the descendants, believe that the reason why God arranged this must be intentional."

"Some people also say that this is a myth and legend created by people in ancient times. The ancients called odd numbers yang numbers and even numbers yin numbers. Nine is the largest of the yang numbers, and when the Yellow Emperor, the head of the Five Emperors, met nine, there was something special. Same as the general will.”

Li Xin looked at Fusu and was speechless for a long time.

"And soon, Huangdi met his next opponent. He came from a tribe called Dongyi in the east near the East China Sea. Facing a strong enemy, Huangdi decided to unite Yandi and the armies of other tribes to fight against the outside world."

"Perhaps at the moment when destiny is truly decided, the ancients were always willing to leave life and death to fate."

"There was once a baby who was born in a cradle like an ordinary person and grew up on the yellow earth. He was born with spirituality and could talk when he was very young. He was agile as a child, solid and reliable as a child. As an adult, he was smart and strong, and soon Then he stood out from the tribe and became the leader of the tribe."

Li Xin felt as if he could breathe freely again.

In one thought, many things were quietly changed.

Seeing that Li Xin had come back to life, Fusu was not in a hurry to mention the war.

Fusu only talked about some trivial things in daily life, such as the last time he went to Qi State to escape Fan Yuqi and even stole his horse to escape. Fusu originally didn't want to chase Fan Yuqi and ran away after telling him to run away, but because of that horse, Fusu had to chase him back.

The two chatted until very late. When the eunuch came in to add charcoal to the fire, Li Xin saw that it was already dark outside the door.

Li Xin looked at the six plates on the table that he had eaten cleanly, and he was very surprised.

Unexpectedly, he actually ate so much in front of the prince, how powerless he was just now.

Li Xin then remembered that since he lost the battle, he didn't even care about eating.

In the past, his meal consisted of eight bowls of rice and one pound of meat.

[Pre-Qin shallow-mouthed bowls, eight bowls of rice add up to a large modern bowl. 】

Since his defeat, he has been in a bad mood, doesn't want to eat, and can't swallow meat.

Li Xin looked at Fusu, he was surprised.

The king also wanted to comfort himself, but the king's approach was to let himself go home and think behind closed doors. Come out after you figure it out.

But the prince was also comforting himself, but it was quite persuasive. The prince helped him change his attitude towards things and his state of mind.

Li Xin didn't know what to say to Fusu.

That night, Li Xin walked out in a hurry and felt wind in his legs and feet.

This shocked Feng Jing, the halberd-bearing man, and Ye Zhe Ling, who was on duty.

Because Li Xin is really a completely different person before and after.

"It's really weird!"

Everyone in the palace was filled with emotion.

Because of this, the palace officials, eunuchs, and guards all worshiped and respected Fusu even more.

Early the next morning, the eighth day of the first lunar month of Qin Zhong.

At dawn, Li Xin arrived at Zhangtai Palace.

When Ying Zheng heard that it was Li Xin who was coming, he still didn't want to see him. "This kid probably wants to resign and return home. Coward!"

Ying Zheng threw the slip in his hand.

The left and right advised, "Your Majesty, we'd better wait until we see him."

When Ying Zheng was surrounded by people and invited to the main hall, he saw that Li Xin seemed to be a different person. Yesterday, his expression was sluggish, like a resentful woman on the palace wall; today, his eyes were bright and he was as powerful as a tiger.

"Your Majesty, I have thought clearly. I want to get back what I lost. Last time, Mr. Xiang Yan killed seven of my captains. This time, I want to bring Mr. Xiang Yan's head to the king."

Li Xin's words fell in the palace.

Ying Zheng was confused for a while.

Did this kid take the wrong medicine? Is he playing some show with me?

However, Ying Zheng liked what he said today.

"This is what your husband should do. Only when you are defeated but still brave can you become a general."

When Li Xin heard this, his eyes were full of hope, "Your Majesty, I have thought about it for a while and found that no one in the entire Qin Kingdom is more suitable to be the crown prince's vanguard than I am."
