For teacher, for father

Xu Fu bowed respectfully to the person on the ice bed, slowly raised his head with the acquiescence of the young emperor beside him, and stepped forward to observe Ji Hao's physical condition this week.

The ice in this ice room is all obtained from the thousand-year-old ice valley that Xu Fu was born in Langya, Qidi, which he accidentally discovered when he was practicing with his master.

This not only preserves Ji Hao's complete body, but it is also accompanied by the holy medicine, so that it will not be corroded and damaged for a long time.

Ever since Lu Buwei conceited his troops and narrowly won the battle against the Allied Forces of Five Nations with 20 cavalry from the Qin State, the news that the Prince Taifu and Prince Zheng worked together to build a stirrup to help our Qin Army win has become widely known, which not only won Ji Hao a certain amount The high reputation and reputation gave his student Ying Zheng a military defense when he came to the throne.

As the person who took care of Ji Hao's food, clothing, housing and transportation during the march, Xu Fu could see clearly that this prince and Taifu was easy-going and gentle, and was willing to take him into the barracks because of his miserable situation and take him with him; A little bit of laziness, and his enthusiasm for fame is even less than one ten-thousandth of Lu Buwei's.

It was such a person who solemnly handed over a letter to him one day, and Xu Fu couldn't help but be amazed by the content on it.

A thousand-character long essay, with a sincere tone, powerful writing, and a clear narrative, all of which clearly record the manufacturing process of the stirrups, and in this, Ji Hao gave more than half of his credit to the crown prince Yingzheng .

Even in the initial conception of the stirrup, Ji Hao put the author's name on his own students.Then explain some trivial things in Xianyang Palace, ranging from unreliable people around Ying Zheng to Ying Zheng's daily routine, Ji Hao wrote them all in this letter.

"Master Ji, why did you do this?...You will return to Qin State safely."

Xu Fu still remembers that when he held the ink-stained silk in his hand and asked questions, his heart was full of complicated feelings.Such a letter, which is similar to explaining the funeral, is really out of place.

However, the young man didn't care about it. Instead, he looked leisurely, still nestled lazily in his thick fox fur, and asked him to accept the letter with certainty, showing an unknown smile and said: "I leave it to you because You will definitely go back to Qin, Xu Fu."

"If I can't return to Qin smoothly, it's up to you to let the world know this letter... In this way, Zheng'er will not treat you lightly."

"...Master Ji, then why is this letter calling out the teacher's watch?" They have already dispatched troops for more than two months!

"Because it sounds more handsome this way, and there is a possibility of passing it on to future generations."

"..."

……

Xu Fu unconsciously showed a curve on his lips, feeling sour and helpless in his heart. The person who was still saying such words by his side three years ago has such a cold body after three years, and his eyes will never open again. The ice froze the passing time so that it could exist before their eyes.

After the battle against Wei was over, he brought the letter from Ji Hao back to Qin to declare the world. Sure enough, Ying Zheng rewarded him heavily, and promoted him to be his imperial pharmacist despite everyone's objections. Above the imperial hospital, any precious medicinal materials and supplements are allowed to be used by Xu Fu at will.

After Yingzheng learned that he had practiced Taoism with Guiguzi for many years and learned some techniques of the fairy family, the young emperor wanted him to devote himself to studying the art of returning to the sky, walking against the sky with his own will, and temporarily sealing Ji Hao with ice. The passing of time every moment keeps his body from being destroyed.

Today, three full years have passed since Ji Hao's death. Three years... The power of ice seems to be gradually reducing its effect, so Xu Fu has no choice but to seek other immortal methods to seal the passage of time.

And Tai Sui is one of the holy medicines that Xu Fu obtained from going deep into the mountains many times.

Tai Sui, also known as Ganoderma lucidum by the folks, is non-toxic, flesh-like, like beef liver, and has two eyes.The food is endless, the search for recovery and rebirth is the same, the meat is like meat.

The red ones are like coral, the white ones are like cut fat, the black ones are like lacquer, the green ones are like emerald feathers, and the yellow ones are like purple gold.

Some people even say that Tai Sui is a thing in the sky, a celestial body in the sky, wherever Tai Sui moves to, a meat ball will appear in this area, which is the incarnation of Tai Sui, and it is a thing of immortals.

And if you eat Tai Sui for a long time, you will live lightly and not grow old, and prolong your life.Its growth environment is mostly in the deep mountains, attached to cliffs and boulders. It is rare and precious, so it is also called the elixir of life by the people.

As for the effect of immortality, there is still no way to prove it. At least Xu Fu soaks slices of Tai Sui in water every week, covers Ji Hao's skin with sesame slices little by little, mashes them up and uses minced meat as medicine, feeds them in small amounts, and supplements them with the effect of ice , really preserved the youth's body intact.

……

"Going back to the king, Lord Ji's body hasn't changed much. I have already changed the medicine for you. Now you just need to feed this sesame powder into your mouth."

After changing the medicine once a week, Xu Fu respectfully spoke to Ying Zhengdao, took out the powdered medicine that had been crushed and put it in a delicate pottery bowl, and asked Ying Zheng to have a look.

Of course he knew what the other party was going to say next, Xu Fu was already very familiar with the whole process of this matter——

"Bring the medicine here, and the widow will feed it."

Ying Zheng put down the few memorials he had brought over, got up and walked over to take the brown-red bowl of powdered medicine in Xu Fu's hand, and sat gently beside the ice bed, signaling him to back off.

Xu Fu understood, and hurriedly retreated to the corner of the house after handing over the medicine, not disturbing the young emperor's once-a-week warm time.

This ice room is not big, so even if Xu Fu stood at the farthest place from Ying Zheng, he could clearly hear the young man impatiently reciprocating to Ji Hao what he had experienced this week.

"Now that old thief Lu Buwei can't hold back anymore, he often shows his flaws in the court... And this Meng Ao, sir, knows it too, I want to keep him, and I will never let the old thief succeed."

The young man spoke in a young voice, carefully lifted Ji Hao up and leaned against his arms, and fed the powdered Tai Sui medicine in the pottery bowl into the young man's mouth little by little: "Meng Ao is completely sincere, and he is also considered loyal to me." , after this time...he will definitely see Lu Buwei as a thorn in his side and recognize me as the master."

"...Sir, I can't wait." Ying Zheng was irritable, but his hands were still gentle and careful.

"That useless guy Xu Fu has wronged Mr...."

"..." Xu Fu on the side was speechless. He wanted to cry without tears and tried his best to ignore the strange way of dialogue between Ying Zheng and Ji Hao, and he didn't want to listen to the other party scolding him so generously. He put his hand on his ear, pretending he couldn't hear anything.

This weekly torture...he really had enough.

The man sighed, regretting that he was lazy and distracted when he was studying with his master, and he was not interested in the skills of the fairy family. Instead, he hoped to come to the officialdom to show his grand plans.

However, because of such desires and thoughts, Xu Fu met Ji Hao, met Ying Zheng... and became the only person who saw a different side of Qin Wangzheng.

Facing Ji Hao's Ying Zheng, he restrained his hostility, which seemed too suitable for his age, with a soft tone, and sometimes there would be small coquettish complaints. He was not the violent and indifferent young man in the golden palace at all. emperor.

……

Xu Fu watched from a distance, seeing the two pale and cuddling each other in the icy air.Keeping people who are dying is an act that is not allowed by the heavens. Even if they go against the sky, Ying Zheng will hold Ji Hao tightly by his side...

In front of Ji Hao, Ying Zheng showed a completely different side... At the same time, for Ying Zheng, Ji Hao let go of all his laziness and bad habits, and made plans for this boy wholeheartedly. That letter, or the use of stirrups, are all working hard for the situation of their own students.

The man was dumbfounded, looking at the two figures, one black and one white, a terrible conjecture and thought suddenly rose in his heart, which made him break out in a cold sweat instantly.

Damn, what the hell is he thinking?Slandering the king is a crime against the nine clans... How is it possible, how could those two people have that kind of relationship!

Time flies, and the time flies, autumn goes and winter comes, and the heavy snow in February falls all over the sky, and the rustling white quietly submerges the entire desolate and huge Xianyang City.

Now it has been the fifth year of Qin Wangzheng, and another two years have passed by peacefully.

In the past two years, Ying Zheng was patient and eager to learn. Although he couldn't restrain Lu Buwei's hand to cover the sky, he also retained some of his own strength in his growth.

Three years ago, after nearly a month of stalemate, Yingzheng successfully saved the old general Meng Ao to continue to serve as the general of the Qin State. Although Lu Buwei was extremely angry, the country is now at a time of war. It is irrational to waste time on one issue and hurt the hearts of ministers.

Therefore, Lu Buwei acquiesced in Yingzheng's severance, and opened up the treasury to revitalize the military. In particular, Qu Ji, the supervisor of the Qin Arsenal, has undergone countless transformations of the stirrup picture left by Ji Hao in the past few years. The material is tougher, and even the cost has dropped a lot.

Qin Jun, like their young emperors, grew stronger step by step as time went by.Of course, it became the strongest country among the six countries. This not only brought infinite vitality to Qin, but also made talented and virtuous people in the six countries seek refuge under Ying Zheng's sect. There are many prosperous diners, as happy as a busy city.

……

And where Yingzheng couldn't see, the women in the harem started to move again - now that King Qin has reached his full age, there are only two wives in the harem, extremely cold, and Yingzheng is busy with state affairs every day In the midst of the war, he had no intention of enjoying himself, which led to the embarrassing situation of not having a single heir.

The first one who couldn't hold back was the Queen Mother Huayang. The king had no heirs. This was not only a major matter for the royal family, but also a major political event involving the power of the child's mother's clan.

Therefore, after a detailed calculation, the Empress Dowager Huayang and the Empress Dowager Zhao decided to invite all the daughters of officials who had reached the age of fifteen to the palace to attend the dinner party. By the way, he also hosted a banquet for all the officials, putting on a natural hat for this disguised blind date meeting.

For the public, Yingzheng has no reason to refuse to entertain all the officials. For private reasons, although there is no rush for heirs, it should be mentioned.

Therefore, after receiving the invitation to the public banquet from Bu Shou Palace, the Empress Dowager of Huayang, the boy frowned slightly. Although he was unhappy in his heart, he finally acquiesced in the decision of his mother and grandmother.

offspring...

Ying Zheng bowed his head, slightly paused his holding the pen, a sneer crossed the corner of his lips, and continued to walk and correct the memorial with the tip of the pen in a hurry.

Having a good relationship with a woman he doesn't love and having children are just the necessary products of royal diplomacy and politics. If his mother and grandmother really like it so much, he will give them one!

A night of singing and dancing, the sky was full of lights.

Yingzheng naturally has any thoughts on the girls who come to the banquet. Now that the power of the Five Kingdoms is weak, it is the time when the Great Qin is showing its majesty. He can allow his mother to mess around like this, but the limit in his heart is absolutely not allowed anyone stepping on.

The matter of love is nothing more than the enjoyment of political affairs, whether it is there or not, he doesn't care.

Even so, Qin officials still hope that their daughters can climb into the royal family. As long as they are officials with such a little bit of thought, they will bring their daughters to try their best to toast Yingzheng during the dinner. After a night, the young man can drink well , was also drunk, and had to be helped back by the maids.

Until he was sent back to Zhengyang Palace carefully all the way, the young man sent away all the palace servants, his head was swollen, his face was flushed, and the exquisite jet-black gilt dragon robe became messy, his ink hair was messy, and Ying Zheng took off his clothes at random. Putting it aside, he wobbled a jug of wine and broke into the ice room where Ji Hao was.

……

"I've been asleep for decades, and the universe is big in my dream. The old man enters my dream, and it shows that I remember each other..."

The boy's voice was hoarse, and the alcohol-soaked voice was even more deep and sexy, especially bright in the silent ice room.

Ying Zheng was so drunk that he couldn't control his body, he flung crookedly to Ji Hao's window, called the young man's name on the bed, and suddenly burst into tears, which stained the luxurious gold hook. side dragon robe.

"An old man enters my dream, revealing that I remember each other..."

"When did sir... enter my dream? When, when?!"

Sour tears welled up from that young face little by little, the young man's lips were slightly pursed, and there was a rare fragility and sadness in his dark eyes.With the help of a lot of alcohol, the young emperor who had been in a high position for a long time finally began to vent the emotions that had been buried for five full years.

Missing, crazy missing all turned into tears, falling drop by drop on the ice surface, and freezing again.Ying Zheng didn't care about his flushed cheeks and the biting cold, he just leaned quietly in front of Ji Hao, lifted the flagon and poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all down, his black eyes blurred.

Sir, sir... You are clearly here, why don't you wake up, why can't you talk to me?Why can't you stay with me!

The young man was so drunk that the world in his eyes was already blurred and dizzy. He just stared at Ji Hao's pale face and didn't notice at all—the young man on the ice bed, the fingers hidden under the sliced ​​Tai Sui meat, Trembling slightly.

"I respect you sir."

Ying Zheng was still drinking desperately, he raised his arm unsteadily, the boy gritted his teeth, wiped off the wetness on his cheek like some kind of wounded beast, and spoke in a hoarse voice with a leisurely voice Frank, reverberating in the narrow ice room——

"I will give you one bottle, Mr. Yu; two bottles, Mr. Xie; three bottles..."

"May Mr....always be by your side."
