My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 849 No, I want to go find him.

The women only look at what the man has at home, such as cattle, land, looms, whether the man is strong, whether he is an honest man and whether he can take responsibility. They will only marry after considering these most realistic factors.

Men don’t look at how pretty a woman is, they only look at whether she is strong and can bear children. The uglier she is, the safer she is…

Perhaps in this world, who are the smart people and who are the stupid people, who are the ones who are cared for and blessed by God, and who are the ones who are hated and unwilling to care by God, only the eternal sky above our heads knows.

The young female nobles even read a few poems in the Book of Songs, and their visions of love and marriage were extremely beautiful. They always had great fantasies about their other half, thinking that the other half was so good and so great.

Once there was a gap between her and reality, she started to go crazy and didn't know where to go. Was she wrong again? What was wrong?

May I ask, if something doesn't exist in the first place, what are you pointing at to describe it as beautiful?
Please tell me, this is a fake thing made up by humans, something that never existed in the first place, so why are you pointing at it and saying it is ugly?

Morality means that you should not say whether others are moral or immoral. "Morality" does not exist in the first place, so what right do you have to evaluate its high or low quality?

Even someone as bright as Zhang Cang still had to face these mundane affairs.

So what if her position is as high as that of the Lady of the Minister of Agriculture? She still has to return to her life and face these ordinary things.

Those who think they are superior to others are just like a funny clown, who poops while standing with his butt sticking up and laughs at others who poops while squatting.

You have to poop to eat, but you insist on thinking you are taller than others. If you think you are taller than others, you may have a pair of dog eyes.

Because only dogs look down on people.

But dogs are much better than some people.

Zhang Cang was drinking at a bar and did not come back all night.

Every woman would know what had happened. Mrs. Zhang waited for a long time. When daybreak came, her heart was like the lamp. The oil in the lamp burned out in an instant and the light went out.

But the woman did not give up and lit another lamp.

After Zhang Cang came back, his face was flushed and he smelled of powder.

Mrs. Zhang was furious and ordered the servants to pour a basin of cold water on Zhang Cang.

Although the scenery in March is beautiful with winter jasmine flowers blooming all over the mountains, it is also the period of ice floods.

Early in the morning, this basin of cold water went down.

Zhang Cang shuddered all over.

Originally, every day at home felt like a nightmare. His wife was always scary. Although she was a woman, she was like a tiger or a lion, roaring loudly every day, fearing that he would die.

Zhang Cang always had a fear of his home and his wife, and gradually he developed a fear of women with the same body shape as his wife.

Originally, Zhang Cang had no aversion to fat women, but under the influence of his wife over time, he began to feel a disgust towards fat women.

In the Warring States Period, no one pursued being thin.

Everyone hopes to have enough food and clothing and not die tomorrow.

Getting fat is something everyone dreams of. If a person is fat, it means that his family is well-off and he can have enough food to eat.

If a person is thin, it is best for him to wear gorgeous clothes and exquisite jade pendants.

Otherwise, those people would scold him, "You are so poor that only bones are left."

When Zhang Cang first saw those slightly plump women, he always felt that they were well-mannered and had a good attitude.

But ever since he met his wife, his wife's temper, which would erupt like a volcano when something happened, and her relentless yelling and scolding, had left him at a loss countless times.

Relying on the power of her mother's family, she didn't treat him as a human being and yelled at him. As long as he did a little work, she felt as if he owed her a huge debt and that she had to kneel down and lick her feet in order to survive.

To be honest, this kind of woman sometimes makes me want to kill her.

However, Zhang Cang was worried about going to jail.

Therefore, he was helpless and could only listen to these tormenting words that tortured his ears and mind day after day.

Nagging, nagging, endless nagging.

If he stops nagging, he will just put on a cold face and be extremely arrogant.

Zhang Cang was afraid to go home because his wife would either nag him or act cold and condescending.

He always felt that his marriage was a mistake, but unfortunately he already had a son and the matter was done.

For this reason, Zhang Cang could only continue moving forward in the wrong direction step by step.

Repeating that hard work day after day.

Over time, his wife became his nightmare.

He hated his wife and was afraid of her.

Sometimes when I have nightmares, my wife will definitely appear in my dreams.

The situation had reached this point, and like a bucket of cold water was poured on him, Zhang Cang subconsciously felt that it was related to his wife again.

After all, everything in his life was perfect except his marriage. His wife was not so-so, but rather a nightmare.

Zhang Cang and Mrs. Zhang once again broke out into the battle of the century.

Afterwards, Zhang Cang hid in the study alone, looking at the words "men are superior to women" written in the books of sages, and felt it was ridiculous.

Zhang Cang didn't think he had done anything wrong. He believed that his current situation was all caused by his wife.

Zhang Cang has always disliked the idea that a man with money and status should have many wives and concubines, but now he finds that he is extremely wrong.

"Even if I can respect myself, you can't have low self-esteem."

Since your efforts are not seen and not recognized even if they are seen, what’s the point of making the efforts?

Just throw away the broken jar.

So Zhang Cang brought back his first concubine from the tavern in the east of the city. This woman was very pitiful. She was exactly the kind of girl that Mrs. Zhang scolded every day. She was sold by her parents to be a slave.

Mrs. Zhang considered herself a noble, and because she did not get the love she wanted from Zhang Cang, she became hysterical.

When Mrs. Zhang couldn't deal with Zhang Cang, she turned to the concubine and was determined to force her to hang herself.

This spring, Zhang Cang's family has been quarreling all the time.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Cang was thinking about going on a business trip; he couldn't stand it anymore.

He didn't love his concubine, he just hoped that his behavior would make his wife angry.

The wife could not get angry at her husband, so she could only vent her anger on the concubine.

Problems will naturally arise over time.

Zhang Cang felt that he could not protect anyone and wanted to go out and avoid the limelight for two days.

He needed to meet Qin II, he wanted to go on a business trip, he wanted to go to places like Nanyang County, and it would be best if he didn't come back for half a year.

This way he can naturally take his son out to play.

However, when he arrived at the gate of Xianyang Palace, Zhang Cang learned that the emperor was ill.

"Is he ill? Is the emperor ill?"

Zhang Cang was sweating. The emperor was ill, what should he do?

If he stayed at home for a few more days, he would lose his life.

You can't live in the hall.

Xiahou Ying knew that this troublemaker would definitely come over.

He had already thought of a countermeasure. "Grand Minister of Agriculture, the Emperor is seriously ill, and the doctor has specifically instructed him to rest."

Seeing Xiahou Ying say this, Zhang Cang had no choice but to leave.

"Please tell your majesty that I, Zhang Cang, pray that your majesty will be in good health soon."

Xiahou Ying said with a smile, "With what the Grand Minister of Agriculture said, Your Majesty will surely recover soon." "What illness does Your Majesty have? Why is it so serious?" Zhang Cang remembered that he had heard not long ago that the emperor was in a good mood and was having all kinds of fun in the palace.

Xiahou Ying chuckled, "Well, it's just that. Your Majesty is still young after all, full of vigor and vitality."

Zhang Cang's face was dark and his blood was boiling. He pointed his finger at Xiahou Ying. He wanted to say something, but he remembered that he was now the Minister of Agriculture and no longer the Censor, and was not responsible for impeachment or correction.

Forget it, just forget it.

Zhang Cang left reluctantly.

After Zhang Cang left, Xiahou Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s so hard for me!
If anything really happened to the emperor, I would be the first to be blamed.

This matter is of great importance, even Lu Ze doesn't know about it.

All patrols in the palace are normal.

It’s just that no one is allowed to get close to the emperor’s bedroom.

Everything seemed normal.

However, Zhang Cang did not achieve his goal and could not go on a business trip, so he would have to face the tigress when he returned home. Moreover, he had also involved a concubine, and when the tigress told Shang Qingmao, he would be finished again.

Shang Qingmao has been trying to figure out a way to make himself the next Zongzheng these days.

This was the last wish of Shang Qingmao's father, Lao Zongzheng, before he passed away. He told Shang Qingmao that if he could not inherit the position of Zongzheng, then their lineage would be finished.

War is merely an extension of politics, and war is also an inevitable way of economic development.

If there is no other way to get promotion, the only option is political struggle.

If we don’t expand outward, we can only roll inward.

The outbreak of war and the end of war are themselves the result of the allocation of political resources.

Shang Qingmao naturally began to actively operate his own network of contacts. At this time, he naturally had to form a group with some old nobles.

His son-in-law Zhang Cang should have been his most powerful supporter, but this guy had a very bad relationship with his father-in-law.

This has a lot to do with the fact that Zhang Cang had a low status in the past but had many concurrent responsibilities.

But now, Shang Qingmao had to change his strategy.

He had to respect Zhang Cang.

My daughter’s opinions, thoughts and attitudes no longer matter.

Unfortunately, Zhang Cang did not respond to his kindness at all, and only felt that his father-in-law was disrespecting him.

When he was in a low position, his father-in-law looked down on him; and he was unwilling to accept his father-in-law's support.

When he held a high position, his father-in-law treated him like this.

Humph, Zhang Cang is a man of eight feet tall, how could he be afraid of such a thing?

Zhang Cang was naturally absorbed in thinking about this matter, and he took a step too far and bumped into an acquaintance in front of him.

"Ouch—"

Zhang Cang was knocked to the ground. His plump and thick buttocks bounced quickly on the ground, and Zhang Cang quickly stood up.

"Why is it you?"

Shao Ping looked a little nervous, as if he had done something shameful.

"Oh, you scared me!"

What Zhang Cang likes most is looking at his comrades.

I heard that to evaluate a person, you can get a general idea of ​​him by looking at the kind of people around him.

Therefore, what Zhang Cang most avoided was getting close to those who were obsessed with getting something for nothing and those who were corrupt and committed crimes.

But towards gentlemen, he always behaved politely and was willing to be close to them.

Zhang Cang's character interprets what a true Confucian is. The Confucian spirit he represents, which values ​​the vitality of the people, dares to argue, and is not afraid of power, is enough to make the strong people all over the world make concessions to him.

This is the real strong man.

This is the true descendant of Confucianism.

Shao Ping has always respected Zhang Cang because this man can always do things that others dare not do.

Although he is inexperienced and timid, he does dare to think and act.

Zhang Cang didn't want to leave the palace. He wanted to find something to do that didn't require him to go home.

Shao Ping was a little nervous because he found out that the emperor was not in the palace. But the emperor told the public that he was sick, so he was lying.

The emperor actually lied blatantly.

Is there any credibility left in this world?

Shao Ping was feeling somewhat worried. Why was it that after Qin II ascended the throne, he always showed some characteristics of a retired emperor from time to time?

How could a human being do such a thing as running away without making a sound? How could he do such a thing?
Does he know that so many people in the palace are worried about him?
Shao Ping was just thinking about it, and when he met Zhang Cang, he was so excited.

Because the actions of Qin II confirmed Zhang Cang's impeachment of Qin II that day, which was the last time Zhang Cang was sent to jail.

But when Shao Ping saw Zhang Cang, his lips moved a bit, but then he kept them tightly closed again.

This cannot be said to anyone else. If it is said, Zhang Cang will be furious and will definitely stir up trouble again.

Zhang Cang saw Shao Ping and did the same thing. He first moved his lips, opening and closing them, and then he could only close his mouth.

He really wanted to tell others about his family affairs, but as the Minister of Agriculture, wouldn't it be a shame to make such things known to others?

It makes him look like a petty and resentful woman.

But when the two met, they couldn't help but talk.

The only topics they could talk about were high-pitched, exciting, and positive ones. They automatically ignored things like gossips about family matters and misfortunes.

"Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the world has never been as peaceful as it is today." Zhang Cang took the initiative to say.

"If Your Majesty can stick to the various measures you have taken since you took power, you can achieve universal peace in the future."

"Yeah, that's not a bad idea."

"It all depends on people."

Zhang Cang and Shao Ping discussed the future of the world...

The soldiers on one side pricked up their ears to listen. The person who was speaking was Zhang Cang, the most famous loyal minister of the Qin State.

It is said that he nearly died several times, but failed to do so.

Eventually he became the Minister of Agriculture, in charge of agricultural taxes throughout the country and held great power.

"If the new Mohists can uphold the spirit of their ancestors, the future of the Qin Dynasty will surely be limitless."

"The character of our ancestors?" Shao Ping shook his head. "Your Majesty said that every era has its own characteristics. If we blindly inherit the ancient ways, it will only make the people rebellious."

"Your Majesty believes that no matter whether you are a man or a woman, old or young, everyone likes new things, but they are not so enthusiastic about respecting the ancient things."

"If you ask them to innovate and change, they will definitely be very positive. But if you ask them to inherit the customs of their ancestors, they will only think that this is backward."

Zhang Cang's eyes widened. "What? Your Majesty actually said that?"

"If young people can't even follow the rules, how can they talk about pioneering?"

"If your majesty really said so, no, I will go find him."
