My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 691 The Enemy of the Enemy

"Your Majesty, cultivating immortals depends on chance. Why do you have to work so hard? Moreover, there are men and women cultivating immortals together. If the yin and yang are not in harmony, how can the qi in the body flow smoothly? Your Majesty, please favor the concubine. There will be no problem."

Doctor Lu Sheng saw through Ying Zheng's anger over the past few days, and while Chen Ping was away, he immediately gave Ying Zheng some advice.

Ying Zheng was a little hesitant.

He just wants to cultivate immortality, he's not crazy.

It's just that outsiders thought he was crazy.

Ying Zheng's eyes were full of suspicion. Compared with Chen Ping, these descendants of doctors such as Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng had no strength at all.

Ying Zheng knew that those talented people born in rural areas were often more capable, because if they wanted to have the same opportunities as the sons of nobles, they had to pay more in their past lives than the sons of nobles.

"Really? Chen Ping clearly said that the first step in cultivating immortality is to take good care of your body. If your body is weak, then even if you get the elixir, you will already be old. If you then have immortality, what will happen then?"

Many people misunderstood what Ying Zheng wanted to do to cultivate immortality. What he wanted was not to ascend to heaven, but to keep his body eternally youthful and live forever in the world.

It has to be said that Ying Zheng has always dared to think and act.

This idea will be fully realized in two or three thousand years.

But these alchemists didn't dare to think about it. They just thought that Ying Zheng was insane.

Hou Sheng stroked his beard, trying to figure out what Ying Zheng was thinking. If he wanted to gain a place in the king's heart, he had to strike Chen Ping down. Otherwise, they would all appear incompetent and useless.

Hou Sheng stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Chen Ping is just a country scholar and does not understand these mysteries. In this world, is there anything more beautiful than sexual intercourse between men and women that can make people stay young and rejuvenated? Even the gods regard this art of sex as a kind of spiritual practice."

As Hou Sheng spoke, he took out a book on the relationship between yin and yang and showed it to Ying Zheng.

Lu Sheng took the opportunity to fan the flames and forcibly pulled Qin Shi Huang from abstinence to indulgence.

The next day, Chen Ping was treated coldly and Ying Zheng did not summon him.

This naturally made Chen Ping even more uneasy.

"Isn't this a good thing?" Lu Shizhi is now Chen Ping's number one deputy. "Everyone is blaming the Crown Prince's Secretary, but it's the Emperor who summons you every day. Now that the Emperor trusts Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng, the Secretary can get away with it."

"I am not afraid of losing the favor of His Majesty. I am just afraid that some villains will do anything for fame and fortune. They dare to do anything."

"They are teaching your Majesty to use some elixir, indulge in lust, and encourage your Majesty's selfish desires in order to gain the emperor's favor. If this continues for a long time, something terrible will happen."

“Because they have no bottom line.”

Lu Shizhi, this is a young man. He asked back on the spot, "But they have no bottom line, what does it have to do with us?"

Chen Ping glared at Lu Shizhi fiercely.

"Nothing else. Only the people are suffering."

After hearing this, Lu Shizhi made some unclear sounds in his throat.

"Then...what should we do now?"

Chen Ping let out a long breath, "Just wait, things are going to change. Now, if anyone wants to blame someone, it's him."

"Who blames myself?" Lu Shizhi was curious.

Ying Zheng's orders crossed mountains and rivers and were on their way to Minzhong. However, the empire's enemies were also ready to make a move.

The Baiyue people are not so easy to defeat.

Although they lived with the Qin army, their hatred for the Qin people was growing day by day.

This nation, which worshipped nature and firmly believed that they depended on God for their livelihood, watched the Qin people burning, burning, burning, chopping, chopping, and then they decided to teach the arrogant Qin Shi Huang a lesson.

Based on information obtained from captives and spies, Qin Shihuang planned to order his son to rally the Qin soldiers so that they could wipe out the remaining Baiyue people in one fell swoop.

The Baiyue were originally numerous tribes. They used to fight each other, sometimes over territory and women, but after years of war and internal strife, Qin Shi Huang forced an end to it.

In order to fight against the Qin State, they had to unite.

In order to fight against the Qin State, the Baiyue people in Yunnan and Guizhou had to accept those Baiyue people who had lost their homes.

They have been actively organizing their army, but their civilization cannot be described as backward, it is just like an uncivilized continent. As for the Qin people's weapons, even if they got them, they could not replicate them at all because they did not understand the technology.

It becomes invalid after use.

The Qin people's weapons were not only advanced, but their equipment was also very sophisticated; most importantly, their weapons were inexhaustible.

Technology, the Qin State was quite experienced in how to become a powerful country.

First of all, we need to introduce talents from the State of Wei.

Secondly, master core technologies and monopolize military equipment technology.

Secondly, build a leadership team with a single supreme leader to ensure the smooth flow and efficient implementation of government orders.

Although the Qin State was not that good, the key point was that it was several times more advanced than the six states.

But the Baiyue people knew nothing about this.

It's like a group of ignorant children who were beaten by a group of adults with high-tech weapons. Without parents to take charge of them, they can only think of more extreme behaviors.

The Baiyue people united internally and externally and launched an assassination attempt specifically targeting the Qin King's son.

"We must let the Qin people feel the same way as we do."

The Baiyue people were wailing in the mountains and forests, carrying bamboo baskets with poisonous snakes inside; some were holding pottery jars filled with poisonous insects.

In order to deal with the Qin people, they decided to send out these poisonous creatures.

Poor Fusu, Qin Shihuang ordered an attack on Baiyue, but he had to bear the consequences.

What a pity!
Heartbroken, pounding the ground!
The fifth day of August is a very important day for people in the Central Plains.

The festivals in ancient times mainly refer to the 24 solar terms, which are the days on which the whole country must take holidays.

The most important thing about ancient Chinese festivals is yin and yang.

Later generations regard celebrating festivals as a very happy thing, but the ancients did not see it that way.

Ancient festivals were closely related to yin and yang and the solar terms, and any day that saw a festival was not a good day.

Since they are not good days, how can we be happy?

When the solar terms change, they are often very unlucky days, so you should be especially careful.

Therefore, we have to take a holiday during the festival so that you can rest and get through this difficult node calmly.

The Qin people, if we talk about their ancestors, have a great relationship with the Shang Dynasty people; and their culture is the only one among the seven major powers in the Warring States Period that completely imitated and inherited the culture of the Zhou Dynasty.

Naturally, all people in the Qin Dynasty needed to take a vacation.

The fifth day of August is the White Dew.

Jian Jia Cang Cang, white dew is frost.

It's almost frost in the north at this time.

The soldiers from Yan, Zhao and Qi were almost steamed to death in the southern rain forest on the day when they should have been stepping on the frost on the tips of the grass to catch fish.

They were eating fresh fruits, and their ankles had been bitten repeatedly by mosquitoes, and the skin was almost broken from scratching.

On such days when the south was still enjoying a bumper harvest, people in the north always sang sad tunes, with tears wetting their clothes.

The old Qin people thought they were too fussy and not like men. They were allowed to drink, eat meat, clap the clappers and sing on such days. Their natural heroic spirit sometimes made the people of the six countries admire them.

Children who grow up near mountains, rivers and lakes are indeed different from those who grow up in plains.

Children who grow up in mountains, rivers and lakes seem to be accustomed to ups and downs, do things in a bold and open manner, tend to be pioneering, and have a rough character; while children who grow up on plains tend to have a calm character, as thick as the land, and a heart as fine as the quicksand in the river.

The soldiers stayed around their tents, with campfires and smoke rising.

Several poisonous snakes came out of nowhere, jumped out of the water and went directly onto the Qin people's dining table.

Love to eat and be lazy, this is more or less a virtue of some Chinese people.

If you work harder, you'll get paid less anyway, so you might as well be lazy. Even though you can only get a basic salary, it's more cost-effective.

As for eating, humans are the creatures at the top of the food chain between heaven and earth. Not to mention the advent of gluttons, people can't help but be curious about what they taste like.

These poisonous snakes now lie comfortably in the pot. The Qin people have helped them to avoid the pain of shedding their skin twice a year forever.

Although there is no war, this painful comfort will make people slowly lose their sensitivity in the boredom of life and the evaporation of water vapor in the rain forest.

Moreover, during those five years, countless soldiers spent the golden time of their lives in the Baiyue area.

Without their wives and mothers by their side, the men have now been trained by life and become obedient. They have started to style their own hair, trim their beards, wash and dry clothes, and do all the work that women used to do.

On the other hand, the women who stayed at home also began to do the work that men did, such as working in the fields, handling diplomacy, and performing sacrifices.

The karma, reincarnation and retribution between men and women have never stopped.

There have been many such incidents in history.

Sometimes the history of the Qin Dynasty makes it seem as if it was the end of thousands of years of aristocracy.

As the central system was being established, people all over the world seemed to be experiencing a brutal reckoning.

This period of aristocratic politics is roughly the sum of the Xia, Shang and Western Zhou dynasties.

In addition to the mutual suffering experienced by men and women, those who used to think that they were not bound by the king's laws, when they encountered the Qin State's cruel officials, were punished for the slightest offense, and deeply realized who was the boss and who was the grandson.

It is a crime to dump garbage on the road or to catch bird nests in spring.

This has caused a lot of suffering for bad people who have always been without legal constraints and moral supervision.

For example, those who undermine public morality, the laws of the six countries could not control them at all, and they did not care about them.

At that time, the meaning of the existence of the country seemed to be to provide people with enough food, regardless of what you did after eating.

Whether this is indulgence or respect, perhaps the six countries have never considered it at all.

Judging from the law of cause and effect, the twelve-year Qin Dynasty was like a summary at the end of a season rather than the beginning of a new season.

Closer to home, these men stationed in the military are now suffering the same hardships that the women are experiencing.

Whoever can survive numerous tests will enjoy the new era and the fruits of victory.

Without advanced tools, many small things that they have to do by themselves are wearing away their ambition and their perception of the environment.

"Today is the White Dew Festival. The strong sun has melted all the spider webs and it is frost-free!"

The soldiers complained that the prince said he would do something, but he had done nothing so far and had also drained the soldiers' enthusiasm.

Everyone was feeling depressed, but there were some things they didn't dare to say out loud.

At this moment, everyone was counting on Fusu and watching what he would do next.

On such a day, the new leader of the Baiyue people suddenly sent people to see Fusu, carrying two large buffaloes and three dead tigers.

They wore tiger-skin aprons and had special spice bags hung around their waists to repel snakes and insects.

"Our leader heard that you are the son of Qin Shi Huang, so he sent us here to give you gifts, hoping that Qin Shi Huang would stop attacking us."

How could the Baiyue people be so kind? Fusu and the others simply didn't believe it.

"I will convey your wishes and actions to His Majesty. I hope you will not break your promise."

The Baiyue people suddenly became excited. "We won't lie. If you can stop attacking us, that would be the best option."

The Baiyue people had suffered enough from the sufferings inflicted by the Qin people. If the Qin people were willing to give up on them, they would not become mortal enemies with them.

The Baiyue people said a lot to Fusu. They didn't expect that the emperor's son looked so humble and spoke little. This made them express a lot of dissatisfaction with the Qin Dynasty.

"You attacked us without any reason, God will not let you off."

"If we destroy our home, we will inevitably be punished by nature."

"If Qin Shi Huang is unwilling to cease fire, we will continue to fight you until we die."

The Baiyue people talked a lot about ancient times, but Fusu didn't understand anything and could only rely on translation.

Dian Shuguo listened with his eyebrows raised to the sky, and he translated to Fusu passionately:

"Your Highness, they said that they respect you very much. I hope you like these gifts."

"We developed their land and dug up many stones that they used to think were worthless. They praised us, the people of the Central Plains, for our good vision."

"Although a lot of trees were burned, they are now beginning to feel the benefits of this advanced culture. For example, too many trees block the view."

"They are slowly trying to accept Qin's culture. But they are too stupid to learn it in such a short time."

"Their leader was frightened by our attack and wanted to surrender to us very much, but he didn't dare to do so because he was afraid of being looked down upon by the women and children in the tribe!"

Dian Shuguo was so excited that his face turned red.

Fusu looked at the interpreter and always felt that the expressions he translated did not match those of the Baiyue people at all.

The translator on the other side also became angry after hearing this and started arguing with the vassal state of Daqin.

Dian Shuguo was not deliberately slacking off, but he had sensed something about the Baiyue people's audience with Fusu this time. They were simply talking a lot of nonsense. It seemed like they were just passing by to give gifts.

Dian Shuguo, that is, the translator.

This behavior has no impact on the relationship between the two countries.

You can say whatever you want.

Dian Shuguo was in charge of foreign diplomacy and military affairs, and he handled these matters with ease.

Fusu still interpreted the key information from the expressions of the Baiyue people and the incorrect translation of the words of the vassal state.

They asked Qin to cease fire and pack up and go home.

This request is rude and inexplicable.

Moreover, telling Fusu about this matter was simply too difficult for him. He was not qualified to make the decision on such a matter, and it would be meaningless to pass it back to Ying Zheng.

"I hope your leader can show sincerity. But sending cows and tigers is not a sign of sincerity."

Dian Shuguo felt that this sentence was a bit ambiguous, but translated it according to its meaning.

Fusu watched the Baiyue people retreat, but an idea came to his mind.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
