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

Chapter 326: A pure lily eventually became a rose that thousands of people picked
After several rounds of drinking, everyone was drunk.

Encouraged by Meng Yi and Li Xin's shouts, Zi'an became bolder and even teased Jin Chan to marry Xiao Luoyang as soon as possible and give birth to seventy, eighty or ninety powerful generals for the Qin Dynasty.

He even called her sister-in-law to her face.

However, what Jin Chan did not expect was that the little girl, who he thought was both well-behaved and sensible, would actually take his arm in public and agree so gracefully.

"Marriage, wedding night, marriage, wedding night."

Fortunately, this is the residence of the world's number one general, "Marquis of Zhongyuan", otherwise, with the shouting in the middle of the night, the city guards on night patrol would have to come in and arrest a few people.

the next day.

The First Emperor, Ying Lou, officially issued an edict to the world in the Qilin Hall of the Afang Palace.

The Qin State was renamed the Qin Dynasty, and this year was designated as the first year of Emperor Qin Shihuang's reign.

A month later.

The decree of the new policy swept across every corner of the Qin Dynasty like a violent storm.

Government offices at all levels came out in full force, and countless clerks ran around the streets, markets, farms, and villages, going door to door to spread the news.

The craftsmen were busy in the workshop regardless of day or night, the fire in the furnace was burning fiercely, and they were making axles and wheels of uniform specifications according to the new standard dimensions.

The clanging sound throughout the night seemed to be the rhythm of the Qin Empire's progress.

In the coin mint, molten metal flows, and prototype coins of the same shape and weight are minted.

The First Emperor abolished the currencies of the six states and named the new currency: "Qin Banliang".

About text.

A few years ago, Ying Lou handed this matter over to Prime Minister Li Si, Grand Historian Hu Wujing, Zhao Gao and others.

And they lived up to expectations and created a type of writing with smooth strokes and regular shapes in the shortest time possible.

It is called "Qin Seal Script" or "Small Seal Script".

As for why Zhao Gao, a eunuch, had the opportunity to participate in this matter, it was probably because he stayed with Ying Lou long enough.

However, the promotion of the new characters was met with joint resistance from Confucian scholars, which slowed down the progress a lot.

The calibration of measurements is also being carried out intensively in various places.

Official measures and scales were distributed to every market.

When merchants first began to trade according to the new standards, the market was briefly in chaos, but it was also adapting to this earth-shaking change in an orderly manner.

Five months later, it was the winter solstice.

The return of generals such as Meng Wu and Bai Ma Cuo plunged Xianyang City into a frenzy of carnival again.

On this day, auspicious snow fell in Qin.

Meng Wu led the victorious army and marched into the city gate in a mighty manner.

This was the first time that the Central Plains truly conquered the world, and a sense of pride arose in the hearts of all the people.

Even the people from the former six kingdoms congratulated Meng Wu and his men who were now Qin people.

In the long procession, there were many spoils of war and rare treasures of the Maurya Empire, which opened the eyes of the people of Xianyang.

Among them were not only the elephants seen on the border of Zhao State at that time, but also a strange bird called Garuda and other creatures.

In addition to these animals and several large carts filled with mountains of gold and gems.

There are also many crops and spices that have never been seen in the Central Plains.

At noon that day, Ying Lou rewarded Meng Wu and others in Afang Palace as he did before.

At this point, among the Qin generals, Jin Chan was the only "Marquis of Central Plains".

Meng Wu and Wang Jian tied for second place.

One was Marquis Dingxi and the other was Marquis Wucheng.

They were praised by the people as the Twin Swords of the Great Qin.

As for the Maurya Empire in the southwest, Meng Wu's reputation had already frightened the brown-skinned and white-skinned natives.

Before leaving, Mengwu killed half of the Brahmin people before finding a timid and obedient young puppet and helped him become the new king.

However, behind this new king, the person who truly controls the Maurya Dynasty is a young general of the Meng family army named Hong Haoxuan.

Another month passed.

New Year’s Eve on the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month.

The first New Year after Emperor Qin Shi Huang changed his name to Ying Lou.

this day.

There is enough food in the world, and everyone has enough food and clothing.

The entire Qin Dynasty was immersed in joy and happiness.

In the former lands of Zhao, Wei, Han, Qi, Chu and Tang, people took to the streets to congratulate each other and wish each other a happy new year.

They were busy pasting Spring Festival couplets, cutting window flowers, and placing lanterns, and they were having a lot of fun.

The market is decorated with lights and full of goods.

Children wearing new clothes were playing and laughing in the alleys.
Dragon and lion dance teams from all over the country shuttled through the venue, with the sound of gongs and drums filling the air.

The people no longer distinguished between the countries they once belonged to. Under the flag of Qin, they celebrated the arrival of the new year together and shared this rare peace and prosperity.

The first day of the first lunar month.

It's not daybreak yet.

Ying Lou was in the Afang Palace, having meals with Queen Huayang and Crown Prince "Su".

The eight-year-old prince "Su" is steady and well-behaved unlike other children of the same age.

It’s a pity that although the Crown Prince “Su” is extremely intelligent, he does not have any national fortune.

And it's not just "Su", the other descendants of Ying Lou also use the same method.

Just after the hour of Mao, after leaving Huayang's bedroom.

Ying Lou granted an audience to all civil and military officials.

At noon, he went to Zhangtai Palace again and met Hong Wenyu, Han Nian'er and the other nine concubines.

Of course, there are also his thirteen children.

Until the sun sets.

It's getting dark.

Deep in the Qinling Mountains, Jin Chan, who had been in seclusion intermittently for half a year, took Xiao Luoyang and rode on the white dragon horse, heading south under the cold moonlight.

Chang'an City, near Xiangzi Temple.

Just pushed open the vermilion door of the house with Spring Festival couplets pasted on it.

Suddenly, a few red-hot bamboos flew over from a distance and exploded with bangs at Jin Chan's feet.

"It's almost New Year's Day, and Daddy is coming to see us. Take my sword."

Li Shiwu shouted loudly from a distance, holding the Zhuyun Tang sword in his right hand, condensing 350,000 military energy, and pinching out the Seven Thunder Purple Palace with his left hand, slashing towards Jin Chan.

"Little bastard, if you don't get disciplined for three days, do you think you can tear the roof off the house?"

Jin Chan smiled slightly. Although he scolded, there was no trace of blame on his face.

He just stretched out two fingers and easily clamped the blade of the Zhuyun Tang sword.

The purple lightning wrapped around the sword was also dispersed by two subtle clear and turbid airs.

"Little sister, come and give me a hand, I can't beat Dad!"

Seeing this, Li Shiwu turned around and asked for help without any hesitation.

"Here I am, hold on, brother. I will come to rescue you right away."

Looking at Jin Chan holding Li Shiwu around the waist in his arms, he swung his big palm hard towards his brother's butt.

The little fellow Li Yueliang's eyes rolled around, and he immediately turned around and ran to the stone table not far away, respectfully poured two cups of hot tea, and then ran over happily.

"Daddy, godmother, please have some tea!"

Fifteen originally thought that his younger sister would have to use Buddhist teachings and magic to save his life, or else she would have to take the beating along with him.

But I didn't expect this guy to betray me so quickly.

"The moon is still good."

Jin Chan wanted to rub his little daughter's head, but found himself holding Fifteen in one hand and a teacup in the other.

"As expected of my daughter, so smart!"

After sighing inwardly, Jin Chan loosened his right hand and put Fifteen down.

"You betrayed me, didn't we agree to beat up Dad together?"

Li Shiwu rubbed his butt and looked at his younger sister angrily.

"Stupid, just tell me if Dad has stopped?"

The moon gave Brother Fifteen a look and said lightly.

"Dad seems to have stopped, but I always feel like something is wrong!"

Although Fifteen and Yueyue are twin brother and sister, the two little ones have very different personalities and hobbies.

A carefree man, although he is surrounded by the fate of the country, he is determined to go to the battlefield and become a peerless military general.

He is surrounded by a Buddha's light, but his mind is extremely clever and shrewd, and he loves the strange and clever tricks of magic.

"What do you two want to do? Come here and apologize to big brother." Although he was weak and petite, he couldn't even subdue a puppy.

But for some reason, little Luoyang was able to control these two little guys so well.

Sometimes, what she says is even more effective than what Jin Chan, the father, says.

"Godmother, this is not my fault. It's because Mom left and Dad didn't come to Chang'an."

Yingtai is gone?

Jin Chan was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that this small house seemed too deserted.

On the ground in the yard, there were only traces of Shiwu and Yueyue playing together, and there was not even a red lantern hung.

Although there was a faint candlelight flickering in the main house not far away.

But on the first day of the first lunar month, such a tiny candlelight added a sense of loneliness to the bustling environment.

Go forward.

Jin Chan gently pushed open the not-so-gorgeous and slightly old door with both hands.

"aunt."

Jin Chan bowed and greeted softly.

inside the house.

Wu Li, who was over 40 years old, was seen sitting on a round chair made of cheap wood, drinking alone.

Although the weather was extremely cold, he was not wearing any clothes except for a gorgeous thin shirt from the palace.

A pair of long legs were folded on both sides, slightly red from the cold, while the bare feet were suspended in the air and swaying gently.

Time has left some traces on her face, but the grace of the most beautiful woman in Chang'an in the past is still like a pearl lightly covered by mist, faintly emitting a charming halo.

Although her skin is no longer as tight and delicate as that of a girl, and there are a few faint crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, this adds a bit of mature charm to her.

The clear eyes have lost their original luster.

She no longer has the confidence she once had as the empress dowager, and instead feels more lonely and melancholy.

Her black hair was unkempt and casually draped over her back.

One of the strands hung down along the white earlobe.

"Mr. Jin, you are here."

Wu Li did not stand up, but supported her chin with one hand and shook the half-full wine glass with the other.

He asked in a slightly drunken voice.

Jin Chan glanced at the three or two wine jugs lying crookedly on the table and his brows gradually furrowed.

"Aunt, if you want wealth and splendor, I can send a hundred boxes of gold, jewels, silks and satins to you. I can also build you the largest mansion in Chang'an City and have a hundred people serve you."

After enduring humiliation for thirteen years, Wu Li, a strong woman all her life, finally became the empress dowager, second only to the emperor in the Tang Dynasty.

But unfortunately, she met the King of Qin who had the ambition to unify the country. She only sat on the chair for a few years before giving it up again.

"Haha, Master, do you also think that I am greedy for fame and wealth?"

Wu Li chuckled twice, then got down from the chair and walked barefoot on the dusty floor tiles.

When they came to a simple storage area, Wu Li pulled off the rag covering it, revealing the golden gold and jewels inside.

"Yingtai is a filial child. She left these things for me before she left. Haha, but even though she is my daughter, she doesn't know what I want."

Wu Li picked up the wine jug, drank the wine in it in one gulp, laughed and said, with an expression that seemed a little crazy.

"Mr. Jin, do you know what I really want?"

It only took one breath to go from madness to loneliness.

Wu Li's spirit seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

huh~~~
Jin Chan let out a long sigh, then waved his hand and closed the door, locking the two little guys who were watching the fun out.

"Aunt, why do you need to use the identity of the Queen Mother to prove your past?"

Jin Chan's words stunned Wu Li. The rope of the wine jug slipped from her fingertips as white as scallions and broke on the ground without her noticing.

Wu Li didn't expect that the man in front of her actually understood what she was thinking, something that even her own daughter didn't understand.

"me"

Wu Li suddenly squatted on the ground, covered her face with her hands and burst into tears. Her red lips opened slightly, but she stammered and could not make a sound.

for a long time.

"My lord, I was born in a secluded house and raised in a courtyard. I learned to read at the age of three and could write hundreds of poems at the age of six. I also learned music from my mother and could play the zither at the age of gold hairpins. Although I never go out, I am well-known in Chang'an. I was originally a pure lady from a small scholarly family, but why did I end up being married to anyone?"

Wu Li's sobs became louder and louder. At this moment, she tore off all the strength she had pretended to be for many years.

"When I was fourteen, I was just beginning to understand the world of a young girl. I was spotted by the young and promising King Tang at first sight. He chose me to be by his side. From being a fifth-rank talent, I became a third-rank concubine in half a year, and a second-rank imperial concubine in less than a year."

"After I became pregnant with Li Yingtai, I was promoted to the first-rank imperial concubine, second only to the Queen of Tang. I also enjoyed the love of the King of Tang for ten years."

Having said this, Wu Li temporarily forgot everything that happened afterwards and immersed herself in the beautiful moment of the girl's dream at that time.

But soon, the extreme gap brought Wu Li back to reality.

"The government was in turmoil, the King of Tang fainted overnight, the people of the Tang Dynasty were living in misery, corpses were everywhere, Yingtai was trapped in the southern wilderness and I didn't know whether he was alive or dead. That year, I lost everything and wanted to die, but someone told me that Yingtai was not dead and would return to Chang'an one day. The Tang Dynasty needed me, and Yingtai needed me too. I needed to pave the way for her to become the King of the Tang Dynasty."

"At first, I just wanted to do something for Yingtai and the people, but gradually, I found that the only useful thing I had was my pretty good-looking appearance."

Wu Li's voice became smaller and smaller, but her crying became louder and louder.

Pearly tears slid down her rosy cheeks and fell to the ground, making a dripping sound.

Thirteen years of suffering and humiliation.

Jin Chan couldn't imagine how such a bookish lady like Ben lived out her life.

There is a beautiful woman.

The red lips have tasted all the filth in the world, and the jade arms embrace the ugly pig fat.

This rumor was known to everyone in Chang'an, and the gossip spread to every corner of the street.

that's it.

Wu Li's mentality gradually changed and she began to doubt herself.

I doubt whether my daughter can come back, whether the Tang Dynasty can be saved, and whether everything I have done is really useful.

I also doubt whether the people will understand their own efforts after the Tang Dynasty is over.
but.

Thirteen years later, Li Yingtai successfully returned to Chang'an, and with the help of Jin Chan, ascended the throne and became the first queen in the history of the Tang Dynasty.

just.

This coup d'état of entering Chang'an, killing the crown prince, deposing the old king and establishing a new king was almost entirely saved by Jin Chan alone.

Became the savior standing under the boundless glory.

On the day of the coup, in an unnoticed corner of the Daming Palace.

After seeing what was happening before her eyes, Wu Liqin bit her lip with her teeth and clenched her fingers so tightly that not a trace of blood appeared.

At this moment, she felt like she was a joke, the biggest joke of all time.

A woman's body, even if it is the most expensive jade in the world or the most beautiful flower in the mountains, cannot compare to a man's absolute strength.

That moment.

Wu Li seemed to have figured something out.

The scenes of physical intercourse over the past thirteen years reappeared before his eyes again and again.

Wu Li's stomach churned and she vomited out all the bile and yellow water.

She didn't tell anyone about this, and of course no one cared.

But from this day on.

From the moment Wu Li became the Empress Dowager of the Tang Dynasty, she kept comforting herself in her heart that if it weren't for the thirteen years of hard work, she would never have been able to sit on the chair of the Empress Dowager.

Over time.

The identity of the Empress Dowager of the Tang Dynasty became Wu Li's only way to comfort herself.

It is also thanks to this chair that Wu Li is still alive today.

"Sir, am I really still a useful person?"

After wiping the tears from her face, Wu Li's broken body was slightly stitched together.

"Of course, you deserve the title of Yu Yingtai and Yu Datang."

Jin Chan bowed with both hands and bowed slightly.

"Thank you, sir."

Wu Li raised the corners of her mouth slightly, her peach-like eyes rippling like autumn water, and she replied softly.

There was silence in the room.

At this time, Wu Li had put on fur and wrapped herself up again.

"Sir, I know you are only here to see Yingtai this time."

"But she has already become a nun in the White Horse Temple."
