Chapter 2561 This era doesn’t need him
The Qin Dynasty was ruled by the Legalists.

Governing the country by law is the idea of ​​the Legalists. This idea seems to be a very beautiful thing in concept, but the reality has dealt a heavy blow to it.

For example, Zhang Xuezhou did not marry or have children at the legal age. Zhang Xuezhou believed that this was his own problem, and others could at most persuade him, but this involved the law in Daqin and he would be fined.

For example, if a man had an affair, the Qin law allowed his wife to execute her husband "without guilt."

For example, after a woman gets married, all her property belongs to the man.

All these methods seem almost unacceptable in contemporary times, let alone on other levels.

Strict laws also correspond to maintenance built with blood, which is paved layer by layer with human lives.

Dong Zhongshu narrated in a low voice, and Zhang Xuezhou suddenly understood why Yang Duan and masters of this level were willing to be turned into figurines.

According to the law, Yang Duanhe had to accept his fate.

No one has the ability to disobey, and no one can escape.

This is not just the will of the Qin Emperor alone, but the entire society has formed a cohesive whole. No matter how unique and independent a person's personality is, he will be assimilated and become one of the obedient ones.

"If Yang Duan and people like him become human figurines, then Qin Huang is no different," Dong Zhongshu concluded, "They are between life and death, and must be hiding in some place with outstanding spiritual energy, absorbing and condensing their figurines!"

"Then what did he build in the secret place?" Zhang Xuezhou blurted out.

"If what you said is true, they may have a big fabrication," said Dong Zhongshu.

"What I said must be true!"

Zhang Xuezhou made such a solemn promise that Dong Zhongshu couldn't help but take a deep breath.

No matter how outstanding the King of Huainan was, he could not compare with an emperor like the Qin Emperor who had great prestige. Dong Zhongshu had thought about his own bright future, but he had never thought that the future would be filled with chaos and darkness, making it difficult for him to protect himself.

No egg can be left unbroken when the nest is overturned. Even if he had not practiced the art of fortune-telling, the return of the Qin Dynasty would not have allowed Dong Zhongshu to stay out of it.

If all this comes true, no one can escape this change.

"Only the deceased Emperor Qin was a good emperor," Dong Zhongshu murmured, "The times chose him, but he cannot choose another era to make a comeback, and this era does not need him either!"

"That's right," Zhang Xuezhou agreed.

"This is not just your problem, it's also something that many people need to deal with," Dong Zhongshu said, "If you want to get out of this safely, you'd better let His Majesty intervene!"

"Your Majesty's strength is limited..."

"But he can develop. His limits are greater than yours and mine. He is the legitimate ruler of the Han Dynasty. He also possesses the Scarlet Sky Sword of His Majesty Gaozu. No one has a stronger advantage in martial arts than His Majesty!"

Dong Zhongshu murmured in a low voice.

He was willing to carry a sword, but he was also cautious and not rash.

He even carefully calculated the time when the Qin terracotta warriors were made, and the date of death of the Qin Emperor, etc.

It may not take long for Zhang Xuezhou to get rid of the entanglement, but there is enough time to deal with the comeback of Daqin.

"Tell me how you and His Majesty the Emperor Qin got involved in the art of transportation. He has no ill will towards you..."

"It might be a coincidence. I was almost scared at that time..."

The voices of the two men's conversation eventually died down, and it was not until Aqiao knocked on the door and mentioned that the meal was ready that Zhang Xuezhou and Dong Zhongshu got up and left.

"I haven't seen you for a while. I didn't expect you've gotten married and had kids!"

Dong Zhongshu looked at Aqiao and found that she was obviously pregnant, which surprised him. He felt that Zhang Xuezhou lacked some of his uniqueness. Compared with Zhang Xuezhou, Aqiao was not outstanding. Her cultivation and cooking skills were limited. Her words and deeds were not the style of a woman from an official family.

But Dong Zhongshu thought this was a good thing.

In the court, only eunuchs do not need to get married and start a career, and only eunuchs do not need families and offspring.

If there is an official who is honest and does not seek rewards, he can only be a person with ulterior motives.

For Zhang Xuezhou, getting married and having children is not only a physiological need, but also a necessary part of normal life when entering the court. Otherwise, he would seem out of place. Marrying a more ordinary woman can also avoid being involved in taking sides in the court and allow him to get along better with the new emperor.

"I will be a father in four or five months," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile, "I don't have many relatives and friends, so you have to bring a gift when the time comes!"

"This is inevitable!"

Dong Zhongshu nodded.

The court has undergone changes in the past few days, and the Empress Dowager will certainly continue to promote the way Emperor Jing governs the country, thus paving the way for the new emperor.

If there were no special circumstances, he would be able to appear normally in Chang'an City within two to three months, and would stay in Chang'an City for several months to plot in Jiangdu until everything was done.

It happened that Zhang Xuezhou had a child during this period, so it was inevitable that he would show his support.

Dong Zhongshu glanced at Zhang Xuezhou and felt that Zhang Xuezhou seemed a little flustered and distracted when he mentioned the child, as if the child was someone else's.

He thought about it, then felt relieved.

Given what Zhang Xuezhou was facing, it was already very good that he could remain calm. We cannot expect Zhang Xuezhou to be normal all the time.

The two of them sat around the fire, and when they started talking again, they no longer talked about private matters, but chatted about family matters, and occasionally talked about the content of their practice.

It was not until late at night that Dong Zhongshu got up and pushed the door open and left.

The light footsteps faded away and turned into the sound of wind breaking through the air, which made Zhang Xuezhou marvel.

A few years ago, Dong Zhongshu did not have the ability to fly into the air and ride the wind, but now he can step on the wind and waves and maintain his usual good level.

"It seems that Master Dong went to Huainan and entered the Wenying Pavilion to learn a flying technique. He is good at wind techniques, and he is particularly good at tailoring fusion of Confucian realm techniques. It is no problem for him to learn flying techniques quickly. This is really an enviable cultivation qualification!"

Zhang Xuezhou sighed.

The magic power condensed by the Confucian realm is slightly inferior and has no special characteristics, so it can adapt well to many techniques.

As long as one is smart enough and has the ability to practice magic quickly, it is not surprising for a Confucian monk to possess hundreds of magic techniques.

Zhang Xuezhou did not envy the Confucian realm, but he was a little envious of Dong Zhongshu's ability to learn anything quickly.

Especially since Dong Zhongshu was a master of both magic and martial arts, he was good at both magic and martial arts. How could he be so useless?

Zhang Xuezhou sighed repeatedly, he calmed down and refused to let Aqiao go, then he practiced like an ordinary person at night, trying his best to balance the cultivation techniques of the two worlds.

"Dongfang Shuo's abilities are getting stronger and stronger!"

Zhang Xuezhou was filled with emotion, and Dong Zhongshu, who was riding the wind, was no exception.

Walking on the wind into the sky and leaving Chang'an City, Dong Zhongshu couldn't help feeling emotional when he looked back at the direction of Zhang Xuezhou's house from afar.

Dong Zhongshu had never seen Zhang Xuezhou display any earth-shattering abilities, but he was well aware that the fact that Zhang Xuezhou was still alive after getting into trouble was a sign of his ability.

And among the group of monks, only this kind of people can have the last laugh.

On this point, even Dong Zhongshu felt that he was inferior.
