My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 844 The Emperor's Women
"Why, do you think it's inappropriate?"

"I gave different amounts of land to the princes in the beginning, just for today."

"This is what I discussed with you at the beginning."

He stroked his beard and said, "I didn't want the people of the world to be displaced and no longer experience the suffering of war. But I didn't expect that I would end up taking this old path."

Liao chose to help Fusu because he saw that Fusu did not like killing and that he did not like to use force to solve problems.

But when he really helped the emperor to ascend the throne, everything changed. Liao's mentality also slowly changed along with the efforts of Qin II.

At the beginning, everyone agreed to work together to create a beautiful world, but in the end, some people gave up along the way, while others went astray because they saw the flowers along the way - women, status, power, and wealth.

Of course, in more cases, after seeing endless problems and hardships, they have to make some adjustments on their own.

The process of self-adjustment is often very difficult and painful.

Because the essence of development is the negation of negation.

To make a table, wood must go through the process of felling, cutting, and polishing by craftsmen...

If a person wants to accomplish something or become a stronger person, he must also go through such a process, abandoning the past and killing his past self. Only in this way can a new self be born, and he can become the person he wants to be and accomplish great things.

Qin Ershi had no intention of killing people from the beginning. He always wanted to change something through his actions, but most of the time he only moved himself. In the end, he still had to take advantage of the situation and speak with his fists.

When a man who intended to save his ruined country left the library and embarked on the road of saving his country and his people, reality hit him hard one after another. The enemy had not yet killed him, but his comrades left him one by one. He finally realized the usefulness of power and began to actively build the army. He emphasized the need to strengthen the arms, because only with fists could he fight for power for himself.

Calls for kindness and justice can only serve as comfort to the weak and are ultimately of no help.

To establish peace and a just order, one must rely on war, on force, and on bloodshed and sacrifice.

For some people, this principle seems to be meaningless, because in their minds, they like violence and bloodshed.

But often those who achieve great things must have a heart as kind as a bodhisattva and methods as swift as thunder.

Asking a kind-hearted person who would feel guilty even for killing a chicken to kill someone, isn't that more painful than asking him to kill himself?

But if you want to surpass yourself, you must overcome difficulties and force yourself to kill people.

Fusu took that difficult step and gave up the most difficult part of his past self. He no longer wavered from side to side, making people feel that he was schizophrenic.

Only in this way can he gain a foothold among the strong.

However, for the old man Liao, it is very difficult to make such a decision.

Because he is very old, it is much more difficult for him to change some of his inherent ideas and concepts than for the young Fusu.

When he discovered that Qin Ershi showed more and more similarities with Qin Shihuang, he began to doubt whether there was something wrong with his attitude towards Qin Shihuang.

"My original intention was to end the war in order to appease the world, but I didn't expect that I would have to rely on war to end the war."

The old man studied when he was young, achieved success in his middle age, and then served Qin Shi Huang. He was swept up in the political vortex of the Qin State and persisted for about several decades.

I thought that in my later years I would see beautiful mountains and rivers, and harmonious and peaceful families for men and women.

What awaited him was to follow the type of person he had hated in the past and continue to wage war with him.

The purpose of waging war is peace.

"Liao, why are you suddenly chattering like a woman?"

Fusu couldn't help but speak.

Chen Gong couldn't help but look up at Qin II.

Liao didn't shed tears, but just felt a little emotional.

He had already reached the twilight of his life, but the hope he made in his youth to bring peace to the world and let the people live and work in peace and contentment had never been realized.

Ever since the death of his old friend Meng Wu, Liao has felt more and more that life is unpredictable.

The person who was bragging to himself yesterday that he could still go to the battlefield again, could no longer speak the next day.

Meng Wu's death triggered some thoughts for Liao.

Liao began to feel worried. He felt that he might collapse at any time.

For example, he may be arguing with others today, but before long, he may be lying in a coffin.

And the world he has always wanted to see, he has never been able to see with his own eyes.

Liao naturally felt sad. When he heard Qin II bring up the plan of letting the princes kill each other again, he felt that this road seemed very far away.

Qin II naturally would not understand Liao. He just felt that Liao was feeling sad and depressed.

Although he has experienced difficulties, he will not be so depressed. He will only try his best to make himself happy in times of crisis to avoid "losing out".

"Now that things have come to this, we have to do what needs to be done. To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself."

"I understand."

Liao himself endured this inexplicable sadness.

It took him a whole month to finally bring spring to Qin.

The big wild bear walked out of the forest, the field mice emerged from the ground, and the fish in the river wagged their tails happily.

Liao did not talk to his wife or sit at the same table with his children. Only when his disciple Wang Ao played the piano for him did he feel better.

When Feng Quji heard Liao say this, he thought Liao was about to die.
-
However, after the meeting of princes ended, the princes still had their own affairs to attend to in Xianyang City.

Some go to visit old friends, some go to meet relatives, and some go to seek advice from experts.

There are many highly capable people in Xianyang City, and they need these experts to make plans for them.

Under Xiong Rou's arrangement, Xiong An stayed in the palace to accompany the old princess.

The princess is old, but in good health and spirits.

Xiong An and Xiong Rou took turns accompanying her, and she felt better.

Xiong An returned to the Xianyang Palace as the Crown Prince of Jin, which for a time made the princes and nobles in the palace look at him with envy and jealousy.

There is no way. From a prince who was penniless except for his status, he suddenly became a future prince. Such a huge change in identity would surely make these powerless princes envious and admire him.

Moreover, holding this substantial power in his hands made Xiong An's appearance seem to have changed completely.

Yes, men become handsome when they have power.

Xiong An is very powerful now.

Even Hu Hai couldn't help but praise Xiong An when he saw his current temperament and style.

Qin II stole the limelight in front of the princes and made them obey him.

The princes had lost face in front of Qin II, so they had to seek redress from others when they returned.

After returning, the princes would also make a grand ceremony and offer sacrifices to heaven, asking their subjects to worship them as they worshiped Qin II.

Xiong An was oppressed in front of Qin II, but after changing his environment, that kind of humility disappeared completely.

What was lost in front of Qin II was found in those princes who never went to their fiefdoms.

The young masters surrounded Xiong An, and each of them looked at him with envy and admiration.

Xiong An realized that the peak of his life was just like this. It would be better to wear this prince's attire in front of familiar people. It would be meaningless to wear this prince's attire in front of strangers.

After meeting Qin II, Xiong An thought for a time that this trip to Qin was just a waste of time, because he had almost no ability to resist Qin II.

However, Xiong Rou made Xiong An the most popular person in the palace. Xiong An naturally trusted his sister more.

In just a few days, everyone knew that a new prince from Jin had come to the Xianyang Palace. They said that the prince was filial and kind, and that he had good manners and good conversation.

Ok……

Do these words sound familiar? After all, they used the same words when they praised Prince Hengyang.

Xiong An stayed in the palace. In order to please the emperor and let him see Xiong An again, Xiong Rou found several beautiful sisters to serve the emperor together with Yu Yue.

The main point is that the emperor is not allowed to go out with his back straight.

Xiong Rou's movements were so large that they caught Sima Wuyi's attention. Sima Wuyi had been paying attention to this woman for a long time, and she was completely arrogant.

Now instigating the emperor to indulge in matters between men and women is an even more heinous crime.

Sima Wuyi naturally wrote about this incident in great detail.

Hu Mujing, who was compiling history, narrowed his eyes into slits after seeing this.

"Where does he get so many words?"

Even Shao Ping couldn't stand it anymore and had to tell the queen about it.

The queen knew that she was a queen with little power, and she was smart and did not intend to fight for power. Sleeping next to the emperor, the only way to be safe is to be powerless.

Feng Wanwan knew that if she went to see the emperor, the emperor would definitely lose face.

And Xiong Rou has always wanted to challenge her position.

Now that she has a son, her thoughts have become even wilder.

The queen had no choice but to move the person she hated the most - Lady Geum Sook of Korea.

This is the emperor's favorite.

Jin Shu was a person who didn't care about oil, salt, sauce or vinegar. When she heard about this, she refused to go to invite the emperor no matter what.

The queen had no choice but to go and invite her in person and bring out the late queen mother before she could call Qin II out of Xiong Rou's palace.

Fortunately, his physical condition was good in his early years, and Qin II had not been drained of his energy.

However, Qin II still looked very bad after seeing Jin Shu.

How could Fusu not be attracted to women? If he loved women, he would not have made Feng Wanwan, whom he had never met, the crown prince's wife.

Xiong Rou was naturally not punished because the State of Jin was standing behind her.

The only one who took the blame was Yu Yue.

The struggle in the palace is so complicated because it represents various forces behind the scenes.

Xiong Rou naturally succeeded in letting Xiong An meet Qin II again. This time, Xiong An told Qin II half truth and half lies.

Qin II knew that the brother and sister had colluded to deceive him, so he simply went along with it.

Xiong An received the support of Qin II and returned to Jin State with joy.

Xiong An was the last person to leave Xianyang because he was the crown prince of a vassal state.

After he left, spring came.

Good things also happened one after another in Xianyang.

In the spring, Lu Zhi's daughter was born.

This made Lu Zhi, who was very happy and had always been looking forward to having a son, feel mixed feelings of sadness and joy.

When she looked at the deserted palace, she felt disappointed.

But when she lowered her head and saw her daughter in the cradle and her wrinkled little face, she was overjoyed again, and an extreme sense of joy surged deep in her heart.

Qin II still came to visit his little daughter, but he did not stay long.

The reality is that an emperor has a queen, four wives, and countless concubines and maids. So many women are destined to give Fusu a large number of children.

Under such conditions, Qin II's attention would naturally be focused and distracted.

The emperor naturally pays more attention to the children of his wife and pays less or perhaps no attention to the children of his concubines.

With the emperor, Lu Zhi would never find the feeling she wanted in her life - a monogamous and loving life like her father and mother, which was only out of her reach.

Even though Qin II had taken the time to come and accompany her in person, how could he possibly care for and take care of Lu Zhi throughout the whole process?

He just visited and left in a hurry.

Lu Zhi could only wait alone with her daughter for the emperor's next coming. Perhaps the next time the emperor came would be a few months or even a year later.

After Lu Zhi gave birth, power was temporarily returned to the queen.

Lu Zhi, who was supported by Qin II, seemed to have lost everything overnight.

Apart from the fact that Qin II, the husband of his wife and the father of his daughter, was not in the palace, what distressed Lu Zhi the most was the indifference of the ladies and concubines, and even the opportunism of the officials and maids.

As soon as they saw that she had given birth to a daughter, they stopped being close to her.

The ladies, even the female officials and chief guards rarely came to give gifts.

Compared to when Xiong Rou gave birth, her palace was filled with gifts from princes and nobles, and Lu Zhi was in an extremely sad mood.

Perhaps in the past, Lu Zhi did not feel sad for being hungry and cold and suffering from these contempts. After all, she had someone to rely on and a brother who held power, so she could still live a decent life.

But after having a daughter, she began to feel that it was unfair and that she shouldn't continue like this.

Because she has a daughter now.

She could not tolerate her children continuing to suffer from hunger and cold, continue to be looked down upon by others, and continue to be bullied in the palace.

Once a woman becomes a mother, she becomes like a superhero.

For the sake of her children, she can do everything that men can't do.

However, most mothers in this world can do this. Once they have children, their maternal power will be aroused, and they can sacrifice everything for their children's future.

Lu Zhi gritted her teeth and endured the most difficult and vulnerable confinement period in a woman's life alone.

Fortunately, Qin II still found time to visit Lu Zhi again.

This time, Lu Zhi seized the opportunity and requested that her younger sister Lu Shang be allowed to enter the palace to accompany her during her confinement.

Qin II naturally agreed.

After giving birth, Lu Zhi exuded the radiance of motherhood, and her whole person added a sense of mature and tough beauty.

In the eyes of Qin II, Lu Zhi in the past was a brave and strong person, but now Lu Zhi has become a truly mature and beautiful woman.

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, Qin II had been on the throne for three years.

There were more and more children in the harem, and bursts of laughter and joy began to be heard in Gui Palace again.

Under the phoenix tree, there are more mottled grooves on the guqin.

The bark on the dense ghost tree began to turn green, waiting to sprout green leaves.

Willow trees have come alive on the vast plains thanks to the irrigation of the rivers.

After such a winter.
