[Comprehensive] Survival of the Last Emperor

After his brothers and sisters had all given gifts, Hu Hai walked into the field with long brocade boxes in his arms, knelt down straight, kowtowed to Ying Zheng and said, "Boy! First of all, I wish my father a happy birthday, every year I have today, and every year I have my present; then I wish my father a blessing like the long flowing water in the East China Sea, and my life is not as old as the Nanshan Mountain; thirdly, I wish my father a long life and boundless life, and he will win the world as soon as possible, and make an indelible achievement."

"Bear kid, your mouth is so sweet." Ying Zheng turned his head, looked at Zhao Gao who was sitting behind him, pointed at Hu Hai and whispered, "You taught this too?"

Zhao Gao shook his head like a rattling drum, and said repeatedly: "How can a servant girl be so intelligent? This is all the Eighteenth Prince's own thought."

"Really? It seems that Hu Hai's "Book of Songs" is quite good, and it's time to learn something else." Ying Zheng turned his head, looked at Hu Hai who insisted on delivering the contents of the box with his own hands, without the help of his servants, touched He muttered to himself with his chin.

With Yingzheng's erudition and strong hearing, it is natural to hear that "longevity is boundless" and "shoubi Nanshan" are all from the "Book of Songs", but he can combine those old sentences in the "Book of Songs" with some new words that no one has heard before. , such a clever combination, I feel very comfortable listening to it.

Little Hu Hai, holding the brocade box that was about the same height as him, swayed forward, knelt in front of Ying Zheng, opened the brocade box, and inside was a rolled up paper scroll, the paper scroll There is a red silk tied on the outer end of the hair, which is just for the convenience of people to hang it.

"This is... huh?" Ying Zheng, who had just glanced casually at first, suddenly widened his eyes and straightened his body to look at the scroll in Hu Hai's hand. Hu Hai's hands trembled in fright, and he almost dropped the brocade box on the ground.

"Father, don't look at the child with such eyes. Although the child is handsome and handsome, he has a thin skin." Hu Hai, who was pulling the scroll away, glanced at Ying Zheng with a smile, and was very satisfied with the effect he had created. .Otherwise, how can he be an emperor through the ages? Although his aesthetic level is not very good, his vision is definitely ahead of him, and he can see the difference in the scroll in his hand at a glance.

"What a face!" Ying Zheng looked at the smiling Hu Hai, covered his stuffed heart, and said three words from his mouth.

Today is the widow's birthday, oh birthday, someone dares to be so angry with me on my birthday, this is simply... Let me think about it, what happened to the person who was angry with me on my birthday last time?Oh, it was still in Zhao State at that time, and later that person was buried alive by widows.

Ying Zheng decided to bury the brat when he went back at night, and buried the brat alive with the tooth-sweet caramel sent by Qi.

"Hehe...it's not looking at the baby, could it be that Jing Ke has made a psychological shadow?" Hu Hai deliberately and slowly opened the scroll, and whispered in a voice that only he, Ying Zheng, and Zhao Gao could hear.

Ow!bad boy!It's really a pot that can't be opened!

Ying Zheng covered his forehead, he really felt that he seemed to be too kind to Hu Hai, and spoiled him a little too much. As a result, this brat is now getting smaller and smaller, and even his father dared to mock him, which is really annoying.

no!Starting from today, the widow must strictly discipline the bear boy and not pamper him too much.

Ying Zheng secretly made up his mind.

At the same time, the scroll in Hu Hai's hand was completely opened.

The gift from Hu Hai is actually quite ordinary, but it is composed of a hundred small "shou" characters to form a big "shou" character.

It is quite unusual to say that it is unusual. With so many "Shou" characters squeezed together, not only does it not have a feeling of being bloated and phobic about dense objects, but it looks a bit majestic and beautiful. At such a young age, he can already write vigorous and powerful calligraphy.

Ying Zheng frowned, and stretched out his left hand like lightning, grabbed Hu Hai's right hand, and pushed his sleeve away, revealing his white and tender wrist, "How did this come about?" Ying Zheng pointed to a purple streak on Hu Hai's wrist. trace asked.

If you read correctly, this should be caused by long-term weight-bearing and poor blood flow.

"That... I have no strength in my hands, and the words I write are all light and not good-looking at all, so I just thought..." Hu Hai pulled his hand from Ying Zheng with a smile, "Don't worry, father, don't worry. Next time and next time, it will not be an example. I am not an idiot, I know that children's bones are soft, and bearing heavy weights when they are young can easily cause permanent damage, such as...not growing tall..." When Hu Hai said this, his voice was inevitably a little sad.

Ying Zheng is eight feet seven inches tall, and is more than two meters tall by the weights and measures of the Qin Dynasty. Kneeling on the ground is taller than standing on the ground.And I... I don't know if boys develop late, or if they only develop their brains but not their bodies, they are just a bit shorter and bigger than the tenth sister who is only six months older than him.

If my figure continues to be so small and exquisite, my nickname will probably change from "Hu Xiaozhu" to "Hu Xiaoxiao."

"It's good to know." Ying Zheng looked at Hu Hai, who was smiling and indifferent, and patted his head helplessly, then turned his head and continued to appreciate Hu Hai's calligraphy.

Hu Hai's calligraphy is actually nothing to appreciate. Writing requires practice. At such a young age, no matter how talented Hu Hai is, at best, he is neat. The one hundred small "Shou" characters are all written in different countries, not the characters of Qin State like the big "Shou" character.

In today's world, there are no more than seven commonly used characters.Therefore, in order to make up a hundred different characters, Hu Hai used the characters of many countries that have long since perished. Some of these countries have been lost for a long time, and the characters have been lost for a long time. It takes a lot of effort to search for these ancient characters.

"Do you remember which countries' languages ​​these characters are from?" Ying Zheng didn't ask Hu Hai where he learned them.

"Remember." Hu Hai nodded, and before Yingzheng could ask, he casually pointed to a few "shou" characters in different shapes, and answered one by one which country's characters they were, who was the monarch of this country, and where did he die? When, by what country, and so on.

Seeing Hu Hai's eloquent answer, Ying Zhenglong was very happy, but he didn't believe that Hu Hai was so young and had such a good memory, so he clicked a few words at random, but Hu Hai still answered them one by one, "Wang You are really smart!"

"Thank you, Father, for your compliment, but...Actually...except my Daqin's writing, my child actually only remembers this one word." Hu Hai said modestly.

"It's not bad to know a word. When your brothers were your age, they didn't even know a word in other countries except my Daqin characters." Ying Zheng stroked Hu Hai's hand. head, said indifferently.

As Ying Zheng spoke, he raised his eyes and looked around at the faces of the other disciples in the palace. Ying Zheng was never stingy with his praises for smart children. It doesn't matter anymore, it's not even as good as a three-year-old child, how dare Liu Lixin?

Ying Zheng intended to praise Hu Hai, but he didn't expect that Hu Hai would not give him face. Faced with his praise, instead of expressing anything, he continued to say: "My child thinks that you don't need to learn the characters of other countries. No matter what Whether it is the Zheng State and Lu State that have long ceased to exist, or the Yan State and Wei State that are still lingering, they are all destined to be the land of my Great Qin. The six kings are complete, and the four seas are one. Since the king of this world will only be left The king of the Qin State, then this writing only needs the writing of the Qin State.” Hu Hai said, picking up the “Hundred Shoutu” that he presented and said: “Just like this Hundred Shoutu, regardless of their history How long ago and how brilliant the culture was, their final fate is just like a drop of water falling into the sea and becoming a part of my Great Qin."

Hu Hai traced the big "Shou" character on the "Hundred Shou Picture" with his fingers. This is the character of Qin State, and any other characters can only become a corner of it.

When Hu Hai said this, he thought in his heart that in his previous life, he was a cousin who learned Japanese. When the relationship between China and Japan was the most tense, she murmured at home every day, "What if China and Japan fight? Then I have studied hard for so long. Hasn’t my Japanese become a dialect?”

Now that we all know that the characters of the six eastern countries will all be swept into the trash can of history in a few years and become worse than dialects. How could Hu Hai waste his precious youth to learn that? He must first fight Ying Zheng. Good shot.

"Bear kid...what are you talking about? Let's forget about other countries. I, Daqin and Qi are very friendly." Ying Zheng said so, but the smile that was too lazy to hide on the corner of his mouth was revealed to the world his mood at the moment.

Faced with this son who always surprises him, is smart and talented, and has a special face when he is brought out, Ying Zheng really likes it more and more.If at the beginning it was only because of Hu Ji's youthful beauty, and when Hu Hai was born, the alchemist said that the five elements of Hu Hai's zodiac were very compatible with him, so he would look at Hu Hai more among the scholars, and then it was Because Hu Hai looks exactly like himself when he was young, pampering Hu Hai can satisfy his lost heart. Now Hu Hai is smart, filial, considerate, and has such foresight at a young age. Kind of sincere.

"Hehe...what the father said is what it is." Hu Hai smiled "hehe". gone."

"Second copy?" Ying Zheng looked Hu Hai up and down, his big empty sleeves could fly up when the wind blows, he didn't seem to be able to hide things.

Ying Zheng picked up the brocade box again, weighed it and looked at it again, and said suspiciously: "There is nothing in this box."

"Father, don't look for it, it's here." Hu Hai casually tapped on the table.

"Huh? This...isn't this the one you gave to your father just now?" Ying Zheng picked up the "Hundred Longevity Picture" that Hu Hai gave him, and flipped it left and right in his hand, making sure that this "Hundred Longevity Picture" was on Without any other words or patterns, he said to Hu Hai just now: "Should we still soak in water or set it on fire?"

Soak in water or set on fire?Ouch!Dear dad, I didn't expect you to be a reader of traditional martial arts novels in our country.Soaking in water and fire involves chemistry, which you always want to learn. When you start to believe in alchemists, your son will definitely give you a good chemistry class, so... shall we finish the physics class first?

"Father really knows how to joke. Didn't you see it just now? Otherwise, why were you surprised? Could it be that Jing Ke was really frightened." Hu Hai smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and flicked on the edge of the "Hundred Shoutu" After picking it up, he smiled and said, "Do you know what this is?"

The widow doesn't know, if the widow knows, why are you acting cute and pretending to be stupid?The widow has already come out to pretend to be an expert!In this world, there are still things that few people don't know.

Yingzheng's face was dark, and he looked down at the "Hundred Shoutu" in his hand. He saw that the whole picture was like a layer of wax. It looked as white as snow, bright and lubricated, and it felt smooth, neat and even. Meticulously, Ying Zheng conceited to read all the treasures in the world, but he couldn't tell what material this "Hundred Shou Picture" was made of.

On the body of the "Hundred Shou Picture", there is another layer of strange things, which are smooth but not slippery, white and dense, with pure texture, and the most important thing is that this kind of thing has strong water absorption and water-repellent properties.

When Ying Zheng saw the words Hu Hai wrote on it for the first time, he was shocked.Of course Ying Zheng knew Hu Hai's characters. Although this "[-]-year-old picture" was already a superb performance by Hu Hai, in his eyes, it was just neat and tidy. Another thing that shocked Ying Zheng was Hu Hai's characters. , There are very rich changes in ink rhyme, clear ink rhyme and distinct layers, which Ying Zheng, who has to give assignments to Daqin first calligrapher Li Si and Daqin second calligrapher Zhao Gao, has never seen before.

The most important thing is that it is light, flexible and easy to carry. If I use this instead of bamboo slips for my daily memorials, I guess I don’t need to batch as much as 120 catties.Although in essence, the number of memorials has not decreased at all, but visually it will be much better, at least not so worrying.

Seeing that Ying Zheng was holding the "[-]-year-old picture" all the time, bowing his head in silence, Hu Hai kindly revealed the answer and said, "This is called paper."

"Impossible!" Ying Zheng really interrupted Hu Hai, "I have seen paper before, it's not like this. Although that kind of paper can write like this, but the paper is very hard and yellow, not so soft and white."

"The one you've seen is either parchment or kraft paper. Of course it's different from this one." Hu Hai quickly pointed to the place where the words were written on the "Hundred Shou Picture" with his finger, "To be precise, this picture uses two kinds of paper. Paper. The kind that is soft and can be used for writing is called rice paper. The kind that feels harder and smoother is called hard white paper.”

"What is the difference between your paper and the previous paper?" Although it has been found that the paper used by Hu Hai is much better than parchment, kraft paper, and bamboo slips in writing, the most important thing is to decide whether something can be promoted. What is the price.

Ying Zheng believed that it would not be that simple for Hu Hai to take out this thing called paper like a treasure.

"That... I'm young and have little knowledge, so I can't tell good from bad. I only know one thing, let's not talk about sheepskin. Farm cattle are forbidden to be slaughtered, so I want parchment, kraft paper and so on. It should be quite precious, unlike the paper of Haier, which only took some grass roots, bark and straw." Hu Hai said with a "modest" face, "Oh, there is a layer of wax on the hard white paper, so that it can It makes the paper stronger, less prone to wrinkling, and by the way, prevents moths."

"Grass roots, tree bark, straw?" Ying Zheng looked at Hu Hai in shock. Seeing Hu Hai blinking his big watery eyes, his face was full of sincerity, and he thought he was more reliable like a baby son. Fooling himself with such a big event, he choked for a long time before saying, "The sky is going to change."

change of weather?What has changed?Of course it's the day to change those literati!As a veteran in politics, Ying Zheng has already quickly thought of the topic of "one hundred uses of paper" in his mind, but... none of this is imminent.

Now, what Yingzheng has to do is, facing his precious son who has given him such a big surprise, what can he reward him without being rejected.

"Since Wang Er's "Book of Songs" has been used quite proficiently, you might as well start learning "Qin Law" in the next year." Although Hu Haixu is only five years old, it seems a bit early to learn "Qin Law", but it is also No matter, Hu Hai loves learning so much, he will definitely not refuse this good opportunity.

As Ying Zheng expected, when he heard that Ying Zheng was willing to let him learn "The Law of Qin", Hu Hai laughed so hard that his mouth almost went behind his ears.

"Qin Law" Oh, the foundation of the Great Qin State, Da Qin civil servants must take the test, no, it is the only study material that needs to be tested. If you don't understand "Qin Law", you won't even be an official. Qin people are not.

Hu Hai was very happy, but his happy mood didn't last even a minute before it was completely destroyed by Ying Zheng's next sentence, without leaving any traces.

Father, how can you do this?

The author has something to say:

It is said that the character "Shou" was written by His Majesty the First Emperor himself. After reading it, I just want to say... Your Majesty is really good at drawing chickens pecking rice.
