My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 758: Is the road ahead?

In fact, Gongzi Yao had also heard the same principles that Xiahou Ying talked about from other masters and teachers.

It all comes down to the same principle: when faced with adversity and danger, we must learn to resolve them rather than escape or confront them head-on.

But Xiahou Ying is indeed different from others.

Other teachers all said that they should remember their teachings and they would surely achieve something in the future. However, Xiahou Ying was very different. Not only did he not say this, but he finally warned Gongzi Yao to forget what he had taught him.

Yao, in fact, his childhood experience is similar to Fusu's.

He was hidden in the deep palace by his parents and was well protected. He was born the best in the world, which led him to always take everything he had too lightly.

As for the so-called fame, wealth and power, for those who are born with them, their mentality is different. They will really say that fame, wealth and power are all clouds.

But for those who work hard to climb up, it is more difficult for them to give up because everything they have obtained over the years is so hard-earned.

Why did King Wuling of Zhao give up the throne so easily in history, while Qin Shi Huang waited until his death to write the edict to appoint a crown prince? Is it possible that it was because King Wuling of Zhao came to the throne too easily and the Hufu Cavalry Reform was completed too smoothly; while Qin Shi Huang obtained power and experienced hellish torture and torment during the period.

With such a comparison, it becomes immediately clear who is willing to give up power and who is not.

In history, Prince Fusu was actually similar to King Wuling of Zhao. Other fathers would be wary of their sons, but Ying Zheng did not mention Fusu, and gave Fusu the army and his right-hand man Meng Tian. It was too easy for Fusu to obtain military power and the supreme position.

In the eyes of people like Fusu, not only is his position not worth cherishing, but even his power is probably so insignificant. I am afraid that in Fusu's eyes, some of his father Ying Zheng's actions - such as cruelly suppressing the people - are extremely evil.

Kindness comes from harm, and harm comes from kindness.

In order to make a person live a good life, protect him and prevent him from experiencing wind and rain, the result is that he sees the wind and rain outside through the window, and gives the wasted years and the hardships of life an elegant name - scenery.

Tsk.

So, is there any point in talking about hard work with someone like Gongzi Yao?
Definitely not.

Therefore, Xiahou Ying's answer was refreshing to Gongzi Yao, who was used to hearing big doctrines.

"Sir, you are really strange. I came to ask you how to do it, you told me the method, but then told me to forget it."

Sir, is a respectful title. It is like two people talking to each other and they both think it is normal, but suddenly, because what Xiahou Ying said makes sense, Gongzi Yao feels awe for Xiahou Ying from the bottom of his heart, and starts to change the original address of "you" to "you".

Xiahou Ying naturally reacted quickly to this subtle change in address.

"Sir, I am humble and unworthy of this title." Xiahou Ying bowed even lower. "As for the reason, this is what I think. There are countless ways in this world."

"The so-called method is the corresponding problem. The method I mentioned is only useful when I face the problem myself. The method is the path. Everyone has his own path to follow."

"But sir, you are different from me. Could the path I take be the same as yours?"

“It’s definitely different.”

"Sooner or later, you will have to find your own way."

Upon hearing this, Yao nodded continuously.

"Good. Very good!" Yao ignored the faces of the masters behind him and praised Xiahou Ying loudly, "You are much better than my masters. What you said is very good. I also want to walk my own path."

Yao had followed his teacher's instructions countless times, but had never received much praise from his father.

On the contrary, sometimes, when I talk to my father about family and national affairs, or about what I want to do in the future, my father is more willing to listen patiently.

Now, young Yao began to understand the reason behind this.

Several masters turned pale on the spot.

There is no way. A scholar who has lived a wealthy life since childhood is like a osmanthus tree in a greenhouse. Although they grow well, they are completely incomparable with the big tree that grows stubbornly from the loess.

One has every leaf on its body telling of its extraordinary origins and how noble and elegant it is; the other has a body covered with thick branches that cannot be blown down by strong winds and heavy rains, and cannot be struck by lightning and thunder. He is so majestic and powerful that he is no ordinary man.

Gongzi Yao had seen too many good-for-nothings, so when he saw a real person, he naturally felt respect for him.

Poor Xiahou Ying, he was only a bottom-ranked one among the strongest team in the world of Qin II, but he received great praise from Prince Yao.

After Gongzi Yao praised Xiahou Ying, that was not the end. He then told the queen what Xiahou Ying had said to him and criticized all his masters.

"Every day they only talked about scriptures and history books, and told me to imitate what the saints did. Only Mr. Xiahou taught me to forge my own path."

"Everyone has his own path to take. Mother, I have heard the same words countless times, but he spoke with a different truth."

"This person is truly extraordinary."

Ever since Feng Wanwan heard the emperor personally promise to wait until Yao was eight years old before appointing a crown prince, her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

When the Queen heard that Yao went to ask the Minister of the Imperial Chariots for advice, a beautiful smile appeared on her face again.

"You did a great job. You were not ashamed to ask for advice from the Minister of the Imperial Chariots. In this world, although some people are not of high status, we still have to respect them."

"You can't offend anyone, because everyone is powerful. I've always thought that this is probably why the Book of Changes lists heaven, earth, and man as three talents on a par with each other."

The Queen repeated to Yao the advice her parents had given her before she got married.

Yao naturally nodded respectfully, "Yes."

"A mere groom can cost the king's life. What's more, a man who holds the important position of the Imperial Chariot Officer is indeed not an ordinary person."

"But you received guidance from Xiahou Ying today, but you shouldn't easily deny your teachers just because of what he said. How can you say they are all good-for-nothings?"

Yao Zhensheng said, "Father Jun often says this to those useless people."

The queen smiled.

Her clothes are always yellow, just like the color of her life.

Her smile is just like the forsythia flowers on the hillside, never proud and arrogant, always blooming so simply and ordinary, but never appearing humble, but rather very noble.
-
Everything in the Xianyang Palace was slowly getting better.

With the Lu brothers and sisters joining forces, the Xianyang Palace will become better in the future.

As a leader, the emperor handed over difficult and troublesome matters to different ministers.

Nowadays, the way of gentlemen prevails, while the way of villains fades.

More and more talented people appeared in the palace and the government. Those villains who had no ability and liked to frame others became very good at observing people's words and expressions. Seeing that the situation was not good, they either slipped away or began to disguise themselves and pretend that they were also gentlemen.

Now everyone has begun to be down-to-earth and do things honestly.

Before, those evil thoughts and bad desires could not be suppressed no matter what. But I don’t know what happened, now that the gentleman began to occupy a high position, the righteous energy between heaven and earth was abundant, filling the four fields and irrigating every corner of the world.

The emperor, ministers, and officials, from top to bottom, set an example, and a powerful energy field began to envelop this space and time.

Nothing is more important than this.

When the energy field turns from gray to positive, everything begins to change.

Everything is good and everyone is good.

In a few years, there will be no prisoners in the world's prisons.

Fusu didn't seem to have done much, but he did the most right and necessary things.

Punishing evil and promoting good has restored righteousness between heaven and earth.

Although the people have not gained any great benefits in the short term, the silent and tiny changes are slowly happening to everyone.

In Xinzheng City, the child who was once arrested by Fusu for questioning, You, has grown up now. He is about to get married.

Time flies by so fast.

He has grown from a little kid wearing open-crotch pants and drooling, to an adult wearing long pants, working in the fields, and ready to marry a woman and have children at any time.

But he had an extraordinary fate. He actually met the current emperor when he was a prince when he was a child.

It just so happened that the prince had just started an action in Xinzheng to beat the nobles and divide the land, which frightened all the princes in the world, and the whole family benefited from it.

Of course, it was not just one family that benefited from it. Almost everyone in the entire Xinzheng city benefited greatly from it. The vast majority of poor people were able to become owners of land and houses.

When information became private property, smart working people quickly realized that as long as they worked hard, they could live a life with good food and good clothing. In addition, as new iron tools became popularized, people focused their energy on farming and weaving.

So this spring, millions of households in Guanzhong were busy plowing the fields.

People still care about important events in the court, but they no longer care or fear about them.

In the past, every time Qin Shi Huang issued a notice, the common people would be trembling with fear. But now the common people do not have that kind of fear, they just believe that the announcement is definitely not a big deal, not a bad thing.

Or maybe they just believed that Qin II would not trouble them for his own interests and selfish desires.

The sweat of hard work falls on the soil, giving birth to the fruits of autumn.

The pain in people’s hearts used to be like a thousand-pound weight, but now it’s just a few ounces of cotton.

In fact, the changes in Daqin did not start this year.

Probably since the new policy faction with Fusu as its core leader and the idea of ​​governing the world with culture and education came onto the political stage, the entire Qin Dynasty had begun to change.

Everyone's destiny is closely related to Fusu's decision.

The choice of every common people, the people's support, and everyone's support will also affect Fusu's future.

The fact that Fusu is where he is today only proves once again that the great man was right.

The cat is on the right track.

Only when you lift up the people will the people lift you up.

If you treat the people as stupid pigs and stupid cows, then the 'stupid pigs and stupid cows' will go crazy, rampage through the fence, and resist all this in the most stupid way.

The fact that Fusu was able to become the second emperor of Qin and have his reputation spread throughout the world was all due to the publicity that the people gave him.

Power has always been from the bottom up. Whoever wins the hearts of the people will be the one the people listen to. As the people who have the most direct contact with the people, the officials and clerks know this very clearly.

For the people of the world, Fusu finally lived up to their expectations after he ascended the throne.

At this time, Fusu had established unprecedented prestige. They believed that this emperor who insisted that the people should not be controlled by fooling them and should serve the country must be an excellent emperor.

It turns out the cat wasn't the only one who had the right idea.

The eyes of the masses are always sharp, and their hearts are always clear, no matter how hard, tiring, dirty and heavy the work is. They can tell clearly whether it is a human, a ghost or a god.

In this world, everyone is amazing.

The power of an individual is indeed small, but the Chinese are an extremely powerful nation.

Once someone attacks them, they will take the initiative to step out of their usual relationship of competition and friction, and then unite to face the outside world and burst out with unprecedented strength.

No matter how inappropriate the way Qin II succeeded to the throne was, the more surprisingly silent the people were, the more deafening the voices of their support for Qin II were.

It is the season from late spring to early summer again. The dam is shaded by green willows. The men with high blood and lofty ambitions are very sensitive to the important affairs of the court. They gather around to discuss almost every notice. There are also many folk masters who give insightful analysis.

They believed that the key to the future success of the Qin Dynasty lay in industry.

"The emperor still needs to stick to the policy of banning merchants and not let them get ahead."

"What does the emperor mean by saying that the future depends on industry?"

"It means not letting people get ahead. The emperor doesn't want people to fight over things. He wants people to live without worries and sleep without nightmares."

"Our emperor is a scholar, he knows a lot and always speaks in a very elegant manner."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Alas, you should lower your desires, be happy every day, and not fight for the title of king, prince, general or minister. This is the emperor's goal."

"It's smart. It teaches people not to fight or compete. Then people don't argue or think about climbing up the ladder."

The old men under the tree nodded one after another.

"But how is this possible? If I don't go, someone else will definitely go." Young Zuo joined the men in the village who gathered and talked under the big banyan tree.

When the strong men heard this, they began to get restless again.

But at this moment, all the guys who had been speaking freely were silent.

Everyone looked at everyone else with vigilance and caution, and they were all thinking the same thing in their hearts.

'Am I the only one who doesn't know you?'

"I don't know what you are thinking?"

"You tricked me into laying down my butcher knife and becoming a Buddha right away; then you picked up your swords and chopped me down. This world will always be a cannibalistic world."

Everyone was under the tree, laughing.

Then he changed the subject and started talking about women.

In fact, when men talk about women, it is also a clever way of speaking.

Talking about political events can easily lead to trouble; talking about important people can easily lead to being reported and beaten; talking about other people's family affairs can easily lead to hatred, or even making up rumors and causing trouble.

The only thing to do when chatting is to talk about women. Women are creatures that all men love. Talking about women will not only make you more popular, but also make everyone happy.

As long as people can control their desires within a reasonable range and find a balance between their opposing mindsets, they are all lovable and lovable.

Even if the water of the river can no longer flow backwards, people still have a way out.

However, Daqin still needs to make a lot of efforts for its future.

Not only does everything still need to be built, but the left and right ideologies alone are enough to reveal a problem.

That is, the long-standing conflicts and intrigues between people, and the wars and strategies and tricks between countries have seriously undermined the trust between people.

Trust is something that cannot be restored to its proper state in just three to five months or by Fusu doing two or three major things.

This requires the efforts of everyone.

Let me reiterate, this is not just Fusu’s business.

The world belongs to everyone in the world. Making the world a better place is not just Fusu's job, but everyone's job.
