"You can do whatever you can, but there are some shortcomings. Xianyang will not stop you. This time, you will be in charge of Nanchu and Jiangnan. It may take a long time."
Zi Yunshu took a cup of tea from his hand and took a sip.
Being in the position of a prince is quite convenient sometimes, at least...in terms of the deployment of some manpower, material resources, and financial resources.
"Today..., I saw a child at Dongjun's place, a few months old girl. I liked it very much."
"I am determined to leave an heir in Jiangnan."
He didn't rush to the bathroom, but sat on a soft couch next to him and said another thing.
"Did you give birth to Dongjun?"
Yan Lingji expressed curiosity. She held a piece of tortoise shell in her hand and looked around. She couldn't understand much. Young Master saw a girl at Dongjun's place?
Involuntarily...the first feeling appeared.
"...And yours, Mr. Master?"
Xue'er was taking care of the clothes that the young master had just undressed and changed into. Hearing Sister Yanling's words, her delicate face was also surprised.
Dongjun has a child?
Born by Dongjun?
Born to whom?
Apart from Young Master, there can’t be anyone else!
Could it be that she and the young master really gave birth to an heir?
No way.
Unlikely!
In an instant, in the entire side hall, bright eyes gathered together, fell on one place, and looked at each other, all wanting to know the answer.
"Senior brother, is it yours?"
Xiao Meng curled her lips and snorted slightly, feeling quite dissatisfied.
Although I don't like children, if my senior brother likes me, I will still be willing to do so. I would rather be the first to give birth to a child for him.
Because my current cultivation level is the highest, the yin and yang of Xuan Guan Dao, and the void are one. As expected, I am connected by blood with my senior brother. It is absolutely great to have an heir.
Now Dongjun has given birth to an heir?
Whose?
Besides senior brother, who else could it be?
"Master!"
Yan Lingji was immediately filled with resentment. In her early years, she was in bad health due to her unfavorable practice in the Fire Charm Technique. Later, after the young master helped her out, she was already in good health and at the peak of the Three Elements.
Moreover, he was one of the first ones to follow the young master.
Now... Young Master and Dong Jun have an heir?
Really... dissatisfied.
Although Xue'er, Nong Yu and others didn't say anything, their expressions showed that they didn't want to give birth to their first heir.
The first heir must be the most valued by the young master.
It was actually taken away by a Yin Yang family member.
Really... Concubine Dongjun Yan went too far.
It's really too much.
"You have a lot to think about."
"That child... doesn't have the aura of my lord, nor the aura of Dongjun, so he can't be Dongjun's heir."
"Not even the heir of this prince."
"When I and Dong Jun exchanged their lives for cultivation, there was no true essence left in their bodies. All of them were transformed by me."
"The child was found by Dong Jun from nowhere. I like it very much and named her Xinu. In two days, Dong Jun will bring her to the mansion."
Zhou Qing shook his head very much.
Every time he and Dong Jun cultivate each other, every trace of true Yang will be transformed into his own true energy, making it impossible to give birth to an heir.
Besides, even if Dong Jun really has the secret skill of yin and yang and can retain one or two true yangs, there is no need to keep a trace of true yang and give birth to an heir?
Picture what?
There was no sense of blood connection in that child.
"really?"
Yan Lingji said suspiciously.
Even so, fortunately, at his current age, Edong Jun does not need to accept a disciple right now. In Ji Yanran's situation, he was lucky enough to get through.
Without the help of Young Master, it would be difficult for Ji Yanran to clear the level. It was uncertain whether he could clear the level, so he accepted his disciple.
Dongjun doesn't have that need.
"Hehe, if the young master likes an heir, the slave family will give birth to ten or eight for the young master, and you can always choose the one you like the most."
Sensing the young master's expression, Yan Lingji was overjoyed and laughed.
He took one step forward and knelt down next to the young master. He raised his hands and the soft light of the fire flickered, falling on the young master, and he was able to hold it.
"Ten or eight!"
"Then you don't need to practice anymore."
"I really like that child."
Zhou Zhou put his hands on Yan Ling's head, knowing that he was causing trouble for himself.
There are still ten or eight children, and I am not afraid of trouble.
"Dongjun is so charming, the slave family has always felt that she has evil intentions."
"Young Master, what if she becomes your enemy in the future?"
The young master seems to have always had a good opinion of Concubine Dongjun Yan and has helped her many times. If it were not for the young master, Dongjun would have died when he broke through the entrance.
Feeling the young master's touch, Yan Lingji narrowed her bright eyes slightly.
"If she becomes my enemy, I will kill her!"
Xiao Meng answered this question for Zhou Qing.
"At such a young age, he has quite a murderous intention."
Zhou Qing couldn't help but laugh.
As for what Yan Ling said, Dongjun will be his enemy in the future?
Zhou Qing felt that that scene could still be considered.
"Sir, the bathroom is ready."
Not bothered by Dongjun's entanglement with the child, Yun Shu took a step closer.
"Let's go."
"Senior Brother, let's see how you unleash your murderous intent."
Zhou Qing stretched out his hand to grab it, and an invisible force enveloped Xiao Meng not far away. The void shook slightly, and Xiao Meng disappeared.
He stood up from the soft couch, took one step out, and disappeared.

"How do you think Ying Zheng will decide the policy of Prime Minister Wang Wan and Tingwei Li Si?"
Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, and all Xia were in peace.
In the land of Nanyang, Nanchu, Qilu, Yanzhao... each has a large army stationed there, so the remaining areas of the various countries are naturally stable. Coupled with the small disturbances that occur throughout the night, the entire Xia Dynasty is peaceful.
The land of Qilu.
Although there were large armies of the Qin State, after all, compared to the land of the Three Jins and the land of Southern Chu, there was not much war left, especially before Linzi, there was no strong fighting.
The entire Qilu land retains its best form.
To the south of Qilu, the area of Songhai is even more stable among the stable.
Even the city of Songhai directly entered a prosperous area, with many outsiders, many people fleeing here, and even more people from various countries living here.
Outside Songhai City, deep in the middle of the mountain, there is a quiet place with tree shades and lingering elegance. The Little Sage Village has been inherited for nearly a hundred years, and it is Chenghe Antai.
Little Sage Village!
It has always been the foundation of Confucian scholarship. If you want to gain a foothold in the Little Sage Village, you must first focus on learning and discussing the Tao. If you are successful, you will be able to achieve a respected position.
Just like many old men with white beards and hair in Xiaoshengxian Manor now, although their cultivation is not obvious, their status is respected and pure.
Shao Guangqing!
A true new generation disciple leader of the Zisi lineage.
If Yang Kuanwen had not died in Lanling City, maybe it was Yang Kuanwen who was sitting in the honorable seat in the room at this moment. Unfortunately... Yang Kuanwen is dead.
Shao Guangqing, Tan Zhi, just stepped forward and took over the inheritance path of Zisi's lineage. As for the two leaders that Senior Brother Fu Nian wanted to recommend some time ago.
It fell directly on Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang.
It does not damage the internal dignity of Zisi's lineage.
Some things are done on one side and the real situation is on the other.
"The foundation of the system of Xiangbang Wang Wan lies in the method of Qin Guowen Xinhou Lu Buwei."
"Tingwei Li Si, the foundation of the system lies in the methods of Master Xun and Han Fei."
"And Ying Zheng has always been very fond of "Han Feizi"!"
"It is difficult to establish feudal princes in Yan, Qilu, Chu, and Jiangnan!"
Wearing a regular thin Confucian robe, he spoke directly but politely, talking about the fundamental disputes over Xianyang's system. Although they were far away in Xianyang, they knew many things as well as those in Xianyang.
They even know some more secret people and things.
"Ying Zheng was hesitant. It seems that he was also weighing the strategy of marrying the two of them."
"It's hard to say which strategy to choose in the end."
A Confucian scholar of similar age beside Tan Zhi shook his head. According to the news from Xianyang, the real strategy will not be finalized until another great court meeting begins.
Ying Zheng’s true intention!
Not sure.
Even the Baijia sent out their secret power, invited Gangcheng Jun Cai Ze to dispatch, and asked Wuzhen Junhou, but they did not get a definite answer.
Wuzhen Commandery and Marquises don’t even know?
Perhaps even if the result was known, it would not have any impact on Wuzhen Commandery and the Marquis. The honor that fell upon Ying Zheng was too great.
It doesn't make much difference whether the princes of the country are enfeoffed or not.
"What do you think Zifang thinks?"
Shao Guangqing, wearing a cloud-like plain-colored gown with her hair tied up and a crown, knelt down behind the table above her and turned to look at Zhang Liang.
There are many disciples in Zisi's lineage, so Zhang Liang can be elected as the head of the family by them, so he is naturally of high standard, and I admire him very much.
"Brother!"
"Zifang believes that Yingzheng... is very likely to fall into the hands of the county."
"The feudal princes Ying Zheng did not not consider it, but did not want to consider it."
"Otherwise, there would be no hesitation like in the Great Court."
"Although Qin destroyed the princes and united the world, the Xia were not stable. Qin's rule over the Xia still remained in iron-blooded suppression."
"Strategically, the feudal princes of the Prime Minister Wang Wan are the most stable. As expected, the feudal princes of Yan, Qilu, and Chu can appease the rest of the Xia kingdoms."
"When the Qin State has stable control over the three Jin lands, it will regulate the Qilu lands. In any case, the feudal princes will not be what Ying Zheng wants."
"Even if we adopt the policy of Xiangwang Wangwan, it will not last long. Zifang believes that Yingzheng will directly abandon the feudal princes, establish counties and counties, and forcibly govern all the lands."
"He...is a very proud man."
"He has millions of troops under his command, as well as numerous civil servants and generals."
"Ying Zheng is confident enough to directly establish counties!"
The light green robe is simple and elegant, with a jade belt around the waist. He is extraordinary handsome. After staying in Confucianism for several years, the etiquette is already flowing through his body.
After hearing what Senior Brother Shao Guangqing said, he bowed his hands and said what he thought.
Ying Zheng was not unwilling to accept the title of Prime Minister and the feudal lords, but he did not want to cause trouble.
He has the confidence to deal with everything that may arise, and he has the confidence to deal with all troubles.
"Ying Zheng!"
"This man... is called the First Emperor, and all the ministers call him Your Majesty. His virtues are equal to those of the Three Emperors, and his merits exceed those of the Five Emperors."
"It's really...a little arrogant!"
When Ying Zheng was mentioned, a person next to Zhang Liang expressed strong dissatisfaction.
Since the establishment of the Xianyang Temple Dynasty in the Qin State and the opening of the Great Dynasty Meeting, news has been flowing to Xiaoshengxianzhuang that Ying Zheng was not the king of Qin, but ascended to the throne of emperor and was called His Majesty the First Emperor.
He ignored the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in his words, and felt that he was the first emperor in history.
Since ancient times, has there ever been a monarch so arrogant?
Decades ago, the Qin State was very ambitious, and together with the Qi State, it was called the East and West Emperors. At that time, there were still other countries to suppress it.
Now all external restraints are gone.
He not only claimed the throne.
Also added the imperial title.
Claiming the title of First Emperor!
"Ying Zheng!"
"In terms of his achievements, he is indeed not inferior to any of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. As for his etiquette and virtue, future generations will have their own comments."
Shao Guangqing chuckled.
This junior brother was born in Chu. After the Qin State destroyed Chu, they often talked about things, even if they had dissatisfaction, they were used to it.
Frankly speaking, Ying Zheng... can be regarded as an unparalleled emperor in three generations.
Taking control of the Qin State, in less than ten years, he wiped out the princes of the six countries and restored stability to the Xia Dynasty from the war-torn world.
If it hadn't been for Qin's actions, all the Xia countries would still be fighting together, with constant wars and endless disputes among the countries. I don't know how many people would have been killed or injured.
In other words, Ying Zheng's move saved many people in Zhuxia.
And in the course of the world, there was no great struggle to massacre the city or destroy the country. Although there were brutal wars, it was still helpless.
Otherwise, how can we live forever?
The power of one country can rule all the Xia.
There is not a single prince left in the Xia Dynasty.
This is the first time such a thing has happened since ancient times.
No matter how you comment on his achievements, except for the Emperor Xuanyuan, the achievements of other emperors are not significant compared with them.
On virtue!
It’s hard to say, but if Ying Zheng could govern the Xia well, he might have left a glorious mark in the history books.
Ruoran Zhu Xia is in chaos again.
His virtue will not be apparent.
"Sure enough, counties and counties are integrated. In fact, I think it is another opportunity for Confucianism."
Tan Zhi waved his hand, today is not about talking about Ying Zheng, we should return to the previous topic.
The reason why Confucianism talks about feudal lords and the integration of prefectures and counties is because of the rule of law practiced by the Qin State. Legalism was the dominant one and Confucianism was not prominent.
If Qilu also establishes counties one by one, then... it will be difficult for Confucianism to gain momentum. If the feudal lords are enfeoffed, it will be another scenario.
There is a saying in Yi Dao: All things are in the universe, and the feudal princes are very good to Confucianism.
If counties and counties are integrated, it may not be a bad thing.
"Talk about it."
Shao Guangqing looked over and nodded.
"No matter what system the Qin State adopts next, Legalism alone is not enough to govern the world."
"In a time of great strife and war, if Legalism is successful, it will be able to consolidate the national power of the princes and make the country rich and the people strong in a very short period of time."
"But now, what Qin needs is not those things, but to rule the entire Xia. Then it needs to be gentle, it needs etiquette, and it needs rules."
"Looking at Qin's strategy in the Three Jin Dynasties, it can be seen that they are called rules and regulations, but in fact they contain the learning of hundreds of schools of thought."
"Confucianism is also included."
"Senior Brother Fu Nian is a saint on the inside and a king on the outside. The same is true for his majesty, virtue, benevolence and etiquette. Although it is the true meaning of Confucianism and Taoism, it also contains the essence of hundreds of schools of thought."
"The Qin State established counties and counties. Confucianism should have something to do, but... I don't know how!"
The conversation was straightforward but he said a lot in one breath.
The integration of counties and counties is also an opportunity for Confucianism.
According to Qin's standards for selecting talented people, the next Confucian disciples have a high chance of entering the Central Academy or even the National Protectorate Academy.
I just don’t know if Qin will give them this opportunity.
"Senior Brother Fu Nian said a few days ago that he would use the little power of Confucianism to help Qin stabilize Qilu."
"Also, we are preparing to wait for the new text from Xianyang to be issued, and directly promulgate the Little Saint Xianzhuang so that all disciples can use it in daily practice."
"Senior brother, I had a plan that morning... Well, Ziyu, why are you here?"
Shao Guangqing sighed.
They are Confucian people and bear the clear imprint of Confucianism on their bodies.
Faced with the changes in the Xia Dynasty, they had to carefully consider every piece of information coming from Xianyang. The Mohist family... had completely hated the Qin State.
Farmers...don't know what to choose.
The Confucians stayed in Qilu for a long time, and they had reason to believe that the Qin State would target them.
They only have two choices.
One is surrender.
The other is resistance.
Obviously, resistance now is the path of Mohism.
Surrender?
Not shameful.
It is a real shame that the inheritance does not exist.
Senior Brother Fu Nian has already seen that step, and should remain unchanged to cope with all changes, preserve the core outline of Confucianism, accommodate the changes in the Qin Dynasty, and expand the future of Confucianism.
As expected of the leader chosen by the Confucian predecessors, Shao Guangqing was about to continue speaking when suddenly, with a sudden feeling, he looked towards the entrance to the hall.
A charming and beautiful woman in a light purple dress walked in there, holding a saucer in her hand and entering.
