[Comprehensive] Survival of the Last Emperor

Tea - an indispensable drink in the foodie country since ancient times.As early as the Yin and Shang Dynasties, tea had been presented to the emperor as a tribute.During the Warring States Period, Qin and Han Dynasties, tea drinking had begun to take shape.

However, unlike modern people who like to "grab a handful of tea leaves, throw them into a cup, and then soak them in boiling water", the ancients called them "cooking tea" when they drank tea.That is to boil the tea leaves to drink. The specific method is to grind the tea leaves into powder to make tea balls. When drinking, smash the tea balls and throw them into the water, then add green onions, ginger, orange peel, mint, jujube, salt, Eggs... wait, where did the eggs come from?Did something weird get in here?

Holding a tea spoon in his hand, Zhao Gao, who was about to stir the pot of tea in front of him, saw the white object flying into the pot with a "plop", raised his head and silently glanced at Ying Zheng who was sitting on top.

Your Majesty, you have to be the master of your slaves!

Looking at Zhao Gao who looked at him pitifully, Ying Zheng seriously recalled the friendship between the two when they were teenagers, and decided to give the culprit a... Where is the culprit?

Ying Zheng looked at a certain young lady who was supposed to be sitting, but now there was only an empty mat seat left. He glanced to the side and looked at Fusu who raised his head and chest, with his small waist and back stretched straight, and was gentle. He said, "Fusu, you did a good job today."

Ying Zheng was talking about the fact that Fusu was the first to call out "Father Wang bears the sword" in the hall today. Although it would be embarrassing to be chased all over the hall in front of the two sons, the performance of the two sons was quite good. Make it easy.Leaving aside the younger one...

"Father, why don't you praise the child?" The younger one poked out half of his head from behind Fusu, blinked his big eyes, and said in a resentful tone: "The child obviously did a good job, he can be called witty, brave, Courageous, resourceful, decisive..."

"I learned the idioms well." Ying Zheng didn't even look at Hu Hai, said something in a very perfunctory tone, and continued to say to Fu Su: "But, Fu Su, do you know your mistake?"

Even his own son can't bear it, even if he can't be blamed for the bullet, but when my father has just been so stimulated and now he doesn't have any big demands, he just wants to be a quiet monarch who drinks tea and calms down. This little Hundan even threw an egg into the tea, can he still be a happy father and son together?

In order to continue to be a happy father and son—in fact, I was afraid of wanting to hit someone, and I would be sad if I hit myself, but I would be even more sad if I didn’t hit myself, Ying Zheng decided to continue to care about his eldest son, "Do you know what went wrong today? "

"Hmm..." Fusu turned around with a tangled face, looked at Hu Hai, who was leaning on his back with his back facing him, stuffing something into his mouth from time to time, turned back to look at Ying Zheng, lowered his head, and spoke in a hesitant tone Said: "This..."

"Fu Su!" Ying Zheng emphasized his tone, he couldn't bully the younger son, but it was still okay to bully the elder son.

The eldest son is the successor of Daqin in the future, so he must be strictly disciplined; the younger son... don't give up the treatment, remember to take medicine every day, and just keep a good mood.

"My son... my son..." Fusu had no choice but to turn around again.

And at the moment when Fusu turned his head, Hu Hai, who was turning his back to him and stuffing snacks into his mouth, also turned his head, looked at the elder brother with a tangled and painful face, scratched his little head suspiciously, and then turned his face There was an expression of sudden realization on his face, he clenched his left hand into a fist, tapped the palm of his right hand, got up from the ground, stuffed a piece of snack in his hand into Fusu's mouth, then pouted his mouth again, standing beside his brother They kissed each other on the cheeks, and then sat back to the original position, maintaining the original posture and continuing to eat snacks.

Fusu was stunned for a moment, then quickly stuffed the snack into his mouth, swallowed it in two or three bites, sat back to his original place, looked at Ying Zheng with an unhappy expression, lowered his head and said, "Father...Father King...son I know I was wrong. What happened today is all my son's fault, I brought Hu Hai here on my own initiative, and it has nothing to do with others."

The widow knew it would happen.

Ying Zheng drank silently...Sorry, the tea and eggs are still boiling on the fire. He is a majestic king of Qin, and now he can only drink plain water to calm down.

At this time, I really don't know whether to exaggerate my son's innocence and deceit, being moved by his younger brother with just two snacks and a little favor, or whether the younger son is too treacherous and cunning, he understands everything, but he just pretends not to understand It looks like, but the eldest son is quite fond of this set.

As if forgetting that he also liked Hu Hai's set of Ying Zheng very much, he said to Fusu with a dark face: "You and I are brothers and sisters, and I am naturally happy. King of the two, you have reached the age of dancing spoons, and you will be crowned soon, you should learn to distinguish the seriousness of the matter, how can you deceive the king and father for your own personal affection."

Seeing that Fusu keeps his head down and doesn't speak, Yingzheng gets more and more excited when he talks. It's comfortable to educate obedient children, unlike that little one, who speaks for every sentence, which is very reasonable...reasonable.

"Father, what you said is wrong." Hu Hai couldn't help showing his head behind Fu Su, looking at Ying Zheng, and said eloquently.

"Where is the widow wrong?" Ying Zheng glared at Hu Hai angrily, can this brat make adults happy?It's hard to forget about this bad boy.

After what happened to Jing Ke this morning, Ying Zheng felt that Hu Hai was smart and decisive, witty and brave.But the problem is that this child doesn't learn well, and with all these advantages, he is thinking about dealing with his father. He dares to think and do, but he also dares to speak, and he is not afraid of being angry at all.

"What the boy means is not to say that the father's statement is wrong, but that the father's words are not aimed at the right audience. You should not tell me and my elder brother, because whether my father says it or not, my elder brother and I are the same A good boy who listens to his father's words will also be Daqin in the future, and he will be your loyal and good minister." Hu Hai sighed and said helplessly.

In fact, the meaning of what Yingzheng said to Fusu just now is very simple. It can be summed up in one sentence: "Although you have a deep brotherly love, you must know the heaven and earth, the monarch, the relative and the teacher. The widow is the father of both of you, and the king of both of you." , so in front of the widow, the brotherhood of the two of you must stand aside. You must not only be filial to the widow, but also listen to the widow, be loyal to the widow, don't lie to the widow, and learn to kill relatives righteously. "

If this saying is said in later generations, or even after the Song Dynasty, it will be a very common thought.But for people in the Qin and Han dynasties, these words were too advanced in consciousness.Most people before the Tang Dynasty did not have the concept of "a country makes a family", let alone what "patriotism" is. For people in this era, the interests of the family far outweigh the interests of the country.

What's even more frightening is that the aristocratic family can not only share the world with the royal family, but can also override the imperial power, deter the imperial power and even replace it.As long as we flip through the history books, we will find that before the Song Dynasty, whether it was a powerful minister or a eunuch, it was as easy to abolish the emperor as to eat, but in the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, this kind of thing basically disappeared in the history books. No matter whether you are Zhang Juzheng or Wei Zhongxian, you are 99 years old, and you still dare not be a long live, and you are almost not the same as the predecessors in the Tang Dynasty.

People in the Ming Dynasty could say, "The country has been supporting scholars for 50 and [-] years, and they are fighting for righteousness, and it is today." People in the Song Dynasty could jump into the sea with the emperor on the cliff.But people before the Song Dynasty, have you heard similar stories about loyal literati?In the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, where surnames are used to judge high and low, and there is no imperial examination system, they only think that I can be an official only because my family is powerful and powerful, so I can be an official, and it has nothing to do with the country .

As Hu Hai was talking, he suddenly felt that it was necessary for Yingzheng to learn the idea of ​​"Heaven, Earth, Monarch, Parent and Teacher". It doesn't matter whether the emperor believes it or not, the most important thing is that the courtiers must believe it.

You must know that the three views of people in this era are completely different from those of later generations of Chinese. Most of them do not have the concept of "country". They will look for opportunities in various countries, as long as they can bring benefits to themselves and their families. , they don't mind treason for glory at all.Although from this point of view, Daqin is the biggest beneficiary of their treason, from Shang Yang who bravely reformed to Lu Buwei who helped the second generation king are all foreigners, the specific number of people can be known by reading Li Si's "Book of Expelling Guests" .

But to them, whether it is the emperor of Zhou or the princes and kings, they are just the patriarchs of a relatively large family.When you are strong, I will listen to you; when you are weak, I will directly destroy you.Let’s not talk about the well-known story of the division of the three families into the Jin Dynasty, just talk about the Qi State... Qi State is a fief granted to his father Jiang Ziya by King Wu of Zhou, but now the monarch of Qi State is surnamed Tian, ​​not Jiang. King Qi Kang died silently on the island long ago.

"Historical Records" said, "In the 26th year, Duke Kang died, and the Lu family exterminated him." Well, the famous Jiang Ziya died without even a descendant.

Just look at the death of the first emperor, the smoke of beacons and chaos everywhere.And the various counties and counties that were supposed to be responsible for countering the rebellion were almost destroyed as soon as they were attacked, and surrendered as soon as they were attacked, and they knew that they had no resistance from top to bottom. Things are not going to get any better.

"Father, my son thinks that you should carry out patriotic education for your courtiers." Hu Hai snapped his fingers, recalled the Chinese and history texts carefully, and said with a frown: "At the beginning, let's not come so violently." Well, don't mention allegiance to the king at the beginning, and say something like "thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king", "the king wants the death of the minister, the minister has to die", "the king worries about the minister's labor, the king humiliates the minister to die", but you should first put forward The concept of the country. Let’s say...there is a country where there is a family. If the country prospers, the family prospers. guard……"

"Wait, wait... When the country is in crisis? Resist foreign invaders? Hu Hai, aren't you afraid that after your words are spread, the people of the six countries will risk their lives to resist my Great Qin?" Fusu couldn't help but slap her cut off.

What does this have to do with me?It's as if if I didn't say these words, those guys from the Six Kingdoms wouldn't rebel or resist?

Hu Hai uttered something bad in his heart, and then with an expression of "you are still young", he patted Fusu's shoulder with one hand, and pointed the other finger to the east, with deep eyes, and said aggressively: "Brother, you have to take a long-term view This world, after all, belongs to my Great Qin! This world can only belong to my Great Qin! Six Kingdoms? There will be no more Six Kingdoms in the future, and they will all be the people and land of my Great Qin."
