I am already immortal, why should I ascend to become an immortal?

Chapter 268: It's her, bring her into my bedroom tonight and sleep with me

Qin law clearly stipulates that women under the age of fourteen and less than six feet two inches tall cannot marry men.

Yao Jia's youngest daughter, Yao Si, was sweet and lovely in appearance, but she was thin and small, less than six feet tall, and three days and eleven years younger than her father.

According to Qin law, women were not allowed to marry men.

Now Yao Jia is an official of the Qin Dynasty, and a high-ranking Imperial Censor. He knows the Qin laws very well, but he goes against them. Even if he is dealt with according to circumstances, he should be stripped of his official position and demoted to a commoner.

If the punishment is severe, they will be tattooed and then exiled to work in the mines.

"Your Majesty, I have admired you for a long time. Now that you are looking for a concubine, I dare to give it a try. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Seeing Ying Lou's livid face, Yao Jia was so frightened that his knees went weak and he fell to the ground, not daring to even breathe.

"Li Si, according to Qin law, how should Yao Jia be dealt with?"

Ying Lou stared expressionlessly at Li Si, who had not spoken for a long time, and asked.

Yao Jia was the Imperial Censor of the Qin Dynasty, so he was naturally quite capable, especially with his mouth, which was known for his eloquence.

Even Xiao Luoyang praised him highly that day.

However, in Yinglou's eyes, this person is just a person who is good at using small tricks.

Although he could hold a high position and handle domestic affairs, his vision and mind limited him from taking on major responsibilities.

But no matter what, this person would never be stupid enough to break the law knowingly, and in front of Ying Lou.

"My king, according to Qin law, Yao Jia, as a minister of Qin, should be punished with a heavier crime, be stripped of his official position, be tattooed, and then be exiled to Bashu."

Li Si turned sideways to face Ying Lou on the stage, then bent down slightly and drafted Yao Jia's crimes in accordance with Qin law with reason and evidence.

"Master Li Si, how could you do this? You taught me all this, so why are you condemning me today?"

Yao Jia was instantly furious, but he couldn't understand why he was so versatile and never offended anyone, and he didn't remember that he had such a big grudge with Li Si!

"Li Si, is what Yao Jia said true?"

Ying Lou narrowed his eyes. At this moment, he suddenly understood Li Si's intention, but he couldn't say it out loud.

"Replying to the king, when Lord Yao and I were drinking and discussing matters last night, I did say a few nonsense after drinking too much. According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, I should be beaten with 20 sticks, fined one year's salary, and demoted by one position."

Before Ying Lou could convict him, Li Si took the lead in confessing his crimes and told him in detail how to deal with them.

This operation made Yao Jia, who was kneeling beside him, dumbfounded.

At this time, he couldn't understand why Li Si would rather kill himself and be demoted in order to make him leave the Qin court and be exiled to Bashu.

last night.

Originally, Yao Jia and Li Si had already written the list of 134 people to be selected as concubines today and prepared to send it to the palace.

But before sending him off, Li Si, under the influence of alcohol, whispered to Yao Jia.

"Brother Yao, do you know why the king wants to take a hundred concubines?"

Looking at Li Si, whose cheeks were slightly red and who spoke with a stutter, Yao Jia suddenly became interested.

In particular, he knew that since the King of Qin donated the country's fortune in Mount Zhongnan, he had gradually taken back part of the royal power and appointed Li Si as his close minister in the court.

Even in the military, the new military god Jin Chan is his right-hand man.

Now that the King of Qin has suddenly taken a concubine, something big must be happening.

"Brother Li, I really don't know much about this matter. Could you please explain a little bit?"

Yao Jia, who had served as a minister in the Qin State for two generations, naturally would not miss this good opportunity to understand the Qin King's thoughts.

"Longguan, the king wants to take back the power of the Longguan nobles and Queen Huayang, so this time it seems to be a concubine, but in fact the king wants to cultivate a group of nobles loyal to him. Brother Li! You can't miss this opportunity, otherwise you will regret it."

Li Si's serious expression, coupled with his slightly drunken expression, made it difficult for Yao Jia to tell what was true or false for a moment.

So he continued to ask tentatively.

"Brother Li, the Longguan nobles and the royal family have been friends for generations, and Queen Huayang just gave birth to a prince for the king. Why would the king do such a thing against Longguan?"

Burp~~~
Li Si first responded with a long burp, then stood up and stretched out his hands to pat the shoulders of Yao Jia opposite him.

"Brother Yao, what can I say about you? Stupid, really stupid, just as stupid as a pig or a dog."

"Think about it, since the death of the previous king, the king has never taken a concubine, and Huayang has been the master of the harem for many years. Why is it that after the birth of Crown Prince Su, the king wants to take a concubine again, and this time he wants to take a harem of a hundred people?"

When Yao Jia heard Li Si describe him as as stupid as a pig or a dog, instead of getting angry, he smiled coquettishly.

"Brother Li, I really can't wrap my head around this. Is the king really doing this to weaken the power of the Longguan nobles?"

"Brother Yao, first Ying Qi rebelled and declared himself king, and then Longguan occupied the important town in the northwest of Qin. How can you let the king feel at ease? Especially a few days ago, the king asked Longguan for six towns and twelve cities. Do you know what happened in the end? The Longguan nobles made a huge request, and only ceded three towns and five cities on the premise of making Prince 'Su' the crown prince. Do you think the king of Longguan can stay?"

This long string of words from Li Si should not have been spread to others, but after he said it while drunk, Yao Jia's heart began to waver slightly.

"Brother Yao, this time the king will select three or four families from the families that will be taken as concubines in the harem and support them to become the next Longguan noble family. Alas, it's a pity that I, Li Si, have never been married and have no daughters. Otherwise, I would have added a record to this list."

Li Si's sincere words and the great temptation of becoming a member of the gentry made Yao Jia relax his defenses a little.

"Brother Li, although I have five daughters, the eldest and second daughters are already married, and the third and fourth daughters are nearly thirty years old. Their looks are hard to describe. Although my youngest daughter Yao Si is clever and smart, and has some beauty, she is less than fourteen years old and less than six feet two inches tall!"

Yao Jia pretended to be annoyed, but while lowering his head and covering his face, he secretly glanced at Li Si.

"Master Yao, you are worrying too much. The king is just an ordinary person like you and me, and naturally beyond the Qin law. Let me ask you, if the king commits a crime one day, will he be punished with a cane, or have his nose and ears cut off?"

Hearing Li Si's bold words, Yao Jia was so scared that he covered his mouth repeatedly.

However, it was because of this sentence that Yao Jia believed that Li Si was really drunk.

"Brother Yao, why are you covering my mouth? Isn't what I said true?"

"And let me tell you, the king prefers young and petite women. Look at my student Luoyang. Isn't she the only one favored by the king? If she weren't in Qi at the moment, I would definitely ask her to come and give it a try!"

This sentence woke Yao Jia up.

Although Xiao Luoyang had no official position, he was indeed favored by the King of Qin when he was at Hangu Pass and was always kept by his side.

"Brother Li, if I write my daughter's name on the list, are you sure the king won't blame me? And will I be lucky enough to be chosen by the king as his concubine?"

Yao Jia continued to ask tentatively.

"I, Li Si, wrote and improved the Qin Law in the past few years. If the king blames you tomorrow, won't I also be implicated?"

"Brother Yao, I can be sure that the king will take your little daughter into the harem. You, Yao Jia, are the Imperial Censor of the Qin Dynasty, so you naturally have a lot of connections. It's not long before the Yao family replaces Longguan and becomes the first scholar family in the Qin Dynasty!"

After hearing what Li Si said, Yao Jia's previously wavering heart finally became firm.

After all, in Yao Jia's heart, he and Li Si had no grudges against each other. There was no need for Li Si to set up such a big trap and sacrifice his future just to frame him.

"Brother Li, please wait a moment."

Say it.

Yao Jia opened the list that was about to be sent to the palace, picked up the brush on the table, dipped it in ink a few times, and wrote the name of his youngest daughter Yao Si on it.

"Brother Li, I won't bother you tonight. When I become successful in the future, I will never forget your kind words today."

After saying something to Li Si who was snoring on the table, Yao Jia hurried home.

After all, there were only two hours left until sunrise, so I had to quickly wake up my little daughter to tell her some things, and then wash and dress her up. After Yao Jia left.

Li Si, who was lying on the table, suddenly stopped snoring, slowly stood up and sat up straight.

Although his face was still red, his eyes were extremely clear, without any trace of the drunkenness.

Li Si poured some more wine into his cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Yao Jia holds the position of Imperial Censor of the Qin State, but he has long been unworthy of the position. Luoyang, I have fought for this position for you. When you return from Qi State, you can take up the position legitimately."

Li Si raised his head and said calmly.

Long before setting out for Hangu Pass, Li Si felt that among the high positions in the Qin Dynasty, the only one that was most suitable for Luoyang was the Chief Censor.

However, although Yao Jia has become smooth-talking in recent years, there is no evidence to force him to abdicate.

It is absolutely impossible to make them give up their position voluntarily. We can only use some means when necessary.

Time goes back to Zhiyang Palace.

At this time, Li Si had already stood up and knelt in the center of the hall, waiting for Ying Lou to punish him.

Call ~
Ying Lou exhaled, then stood up and said, "Grand Censor Yao Jia, you are a minister of Qin, but you have violated your duties and knowingly broke the law. Now, I will dismiss you from your post, punish you with tattooing, exile you to Bashu, and demote your whole family to commoners."

"Li Si, you are a person who drafts laws, but you persuaded your colleagues to commit crimes. Although you spoke nonsense under the influence of alcohol, your crime is still more serious. You will be punished with 40 strokes of the cane, fined two years' salary, and demoted one rank."

After hearing Ying Lou's words, Yao Jia's face turned pale and he lowered his head for a long time.

On the other hand, Li Si knelt forward and bowed as usual, then said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy."

"Heibingtai, you will be responsible for Li Si's caning."

Ying Lou gently raised his right hand, and Su Qiji, dressed in black and with his face covered, appeared in the hall like a ghost.

"I obey my orders!"

After saying that, Su Qiji came in front of Li Si. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was clear.

"Your Majesty, I have something else to report."

Li Si, who was kneeling on the ground, looked up and said.

"explain."

"Your Majesty, now that the daughters of the Qin nobles have been selected, the next step is the civilian women. However, there are many civilian women, and the process is slightly different. I have arranged all of them in the side hall. I hope Your Majesty can go and take a look today."

Done.

Li Si stood up and walked out of the hall, ready to receive his forty strokes of the cane.

"Li Si, you are so stubborn! However, I have found a good master for Luoyang."

After both of them were taken away, Ying Lou, who was sitting on the chair, sighed secretly.

Although it only took Ying Lou a word to let Xiao Luoyang replace Yao Jia as the Qin's imperial physician.

But doing so would indeed go against Qin law.

But now, Yao Jia has violated the law, and Ying Lou can justifiably force him to step down.

Then, as long as Xiao Luoyang returns from Chang'an, and with her military merit in the battle to defeat Qi, she can be appointed as the Imperial Envoy.

Although there are bound to be some troubles involved, it is still better than Ying Lou’s previous plan.

"Zhao Gao, how many people are left that you haven't seen?"

Ying Lou picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, looked straight ahead and asked.

"Replying to the king, there are still 102 people, but most of these 132 people are women from the common people. There are no talented people in their families who serve in the court, nor are they women from aristocratic families."

Zhao Gao picked up the list and handed it over.

"Go and have a look."

Ying Lou stood up and walked down the stairs.

In today's selection of concubines, out of the thirty-three people just now, only Han Nian'er caught Ying Lou's eye.

It was not because of the other party's beauty, but purely because of the matter of sending troops to Luoyang City.

If Han Nian'er can convince King Han Han An, Ying Lou would not mind taking her into the harem as a concubine.

After walking out of Zhiyang Palace, he moved westward for nearly a hundred steps.

Ying Lou just arrived at the side hall.

The selection of concubines by common women is naturally different from that of women from the royal family, officials, and gentry. It is impossible for them to be reviewed by Ying Lou one by one.

According to custom.

These women will be placed in one room.

She was only wearing a bellyband and underpants, and her purpose was just to let Ying Lou see her figure and appearance clearly.

Push open the door of the side hall.

The jade-carved mahogany house was spacious and bright, and the floor was covered with plush carpets.

One hundred and two women from the common people were gathered here. They were like precious treasures waiting to be chosen, anxiously waiting for the King of Qin to select them.

Although I have been here for four hours, I am shivering all over and my legs are slightly weak.

But the moment Ying Lou entered the room, each of them had to straighten their backs, show their advantages, and not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Ying Lou, who had just entered the house and was choosing a concubine for the first time, was inevitably shocked when he saw the erotic scenes before him.

One hundred and two women, all around eighteen years old, stood in ten rows.

Pairs of bare feet lightly dotted the carpet.

It is as smooth and delicate as if it has been soaked in milk, and can be held in one hand.

The uniform light-colored aprons are made of the softest silk.

It only covered half of the chest and did not cover the belly button which was the size of a fingernail.

The panties wrap around their buttocks perfectly, showing the youthfulness and fragrance that only girls have.

Some women have long hair that falls like waterfalls, casually draped over their shoulders.

Some women are tall, with long, straight legs and skin as white as snow.

of course.

There are also people who stand proudly and can be seen to be extraordinary at a glance.

Each of them lowered their eyes slightly, with a hint of shyness and uneasiness on their faces.

"This is her. Bring her to my bedroom tonight and sleep with me."

　At the end of the article, I would like to mention that the six feet and two mentioned at the beginning are based on the length of the Qin Dynasty, and one foot is about 23 centimeters.

　　When a woman gets married, she needs to be 6 feet 2 inches tall. There are historical records that men need to be 6 feet 5 inches tall.
