Whose Xingyue looks like you?

"I want to offer sacrifices to the gods at Mount Tai. What do you think?"

The First Emperor half-jokingly expressed his thoughts, and Bai Ming immediately responded, "I am a military commander, not good at speaking, but I only know that Your Majesty's unified writing system and unified railway system will benefit generations to come."

Bai Ming spoke very quickly. Yu Ji didn't know what to say, so she could only say blankly, "Me too."

And Zhao Gao soon agreed.

Many Qilu doctors cursed him inwardly, calling him a treacherous villain. Then they looked at each other and began to discuss. Finally, one doctor spoke up, "Your Majesty, if you want to perform the Fengshan ceremony, you must wrap the wheels with cattails to avoid damaging any vegetation on the mountain. Then sweep the ground and perform the sacrifice. Keep it simple, not extravagant."

The First Emperor frowned slightly when he heard this, but said nothing.

When the doctors and Confucian scholars saw that the First Emperor said nothing, they started talking at once.

They said that one should be frugal, choose an auspicious day, prepare rich sacrifices, and not repair the mountain roads for fear of disturbing the mountain gods. What's worse, some people used the language of Yin and Yang to deceive the First Emperor, tampered with the characters of other countries, burned books of other countries, violated the ancestral system, and were not worthy of being enthroned on Mount Tai. They said that only by releasing the nobles of the six countries to return to their ancestral lands could they be recognized by God.

Bai Ming watched from the side as the First Emperor's patience was worn out by the words of these Confucian scholars. The First Emperor coughed, and before Zhao Gao could react to what the First Emperor meant by this cough, Bai Ming took action.

Then more than seventy muffled sounds were heard, and those Confucian scholars and doctors lay on the ground in a mess, wailing in pain.

Bai Ming spat, "You're so whiny and poor. Can't you learn to be as bold and polite as Shang Zhen Gong?"

The First Emperor was naturally delighted. He had thought that the cough was a signal for Bai Ming to start scolding on his behalf, but he never expected that Bai Ming would actually do it directly. However, these literati and scholars were still his subjects after all, so even if he intended to favor Bai Ming, he had to pretend.

Then the First Emperor said, "Palace magicians, these are my trusted ministers. How could you act so recklessly? Fine them one year's salary. If you do it again, fine them another year."

"I obey your command."

Zhao Gao watched the tacit understanding between the First Emperor and Bai Ming with a look of horror. When had this quack and the Emperor become so close? Wouldn't his own position and exclusive favor be in jeopardy?

Zhao Gao currently planned to join forces with Li Si to deal with Bai Ming after the eastern tour was over.

Bai Ming saw the resentment in Zhao Gao's eyes and said, "Your Majesty, the Qin Dynasty replaced the Zhou Dynasty and should be the water virtue. You want to perform the Fengshan ceremony on Mount Tai to report to the heavens. You should repair the mountain path, play drums and sing, set up three kinds of animals, and set up a banquet to report to the heavens and share the joy with heaven and earth. I am not talented, but I am good at rituals. I should share the worries of Your Majesty with my disciple Fusu."

The First Emperor then said, "Cai, I'll leave it to you and Fusu now. Return to Xianyang Palace."

As for these Confucian scholars? No need for them.

Zhao Gao's eyes on the side became more and more unfriendly.

During his time as regent, Crown Prince Fusu was extremely diligent. Besides attending to state affairs, he thoroughly read the Analects and Lunyu, practiced martial arts, and tempered his body with magic and sunlight. He also took advantage of the First Emperor's eastern tour to fully utilize Lunyu, using the motto "A gentleman has nothing to argue with, so he must shoot!" He said that a gentleman did not want to argue with these cunning men and would definitely shoot them to death. He then shot the nobles of the six kingdoms, sending them home in glory.

During this period, the remnants of the six kingdoms spread rumors and speeches in an attempt to destabilize the foundation of the country. Crown Prince Fusu used the Five Ghosts' Soul Binding Technique to restrain their souls in the Xianyang Palace, awaiting the First Emperor's return. When the First Emperor heard about this, he fined you another year's salary, but gave you a lot more money to repair the mountain road.

Yu Ji said this was specifically for you as compensation. You knew it, but you only took a small amount. Then you bought her some new, luxurious clothes and some food. Yu Ji held the clothes and food in silence, and you couldn't tell what she was thinking.

You begin to repair the mountain road with Fusu, and start planning the spectacular scene of Fengshan on Mount Tai with Fusu.

[There is a demon in the Ping An demon book, named Phoenix Fire. It is actually a beautiful bird with blazing flames on its body. You decide to summon it and fly across the sky when it arrives, as a sign of good fortune.]

When Fusu was personally supervising the work, he asked, "Master, there is something I don't understand."

"ask."

"I don't think Lu Sheng, Hou Sheng, and other Confucian scholars and alchemists are as truly accomplished as Master. Why doesn't Master expose them?"

"That Lu Sheng has a great treasure hunting skill, and he's the one who will be saved from the calamity of the Qin Dynasty. What do you think, Master, should I do or not?"

Fusu hesitated for a moment and said, "This... naturally doesn't move."

"You too have a calamity of death within you," Bai Ming said. "If you cultivate my way, you will understand life and death, and be able to sense your own calamities. During your time as regent, have you ever felt that anyone made you feel uncomfortable?"

"Such people do exist," Fusu said. "My eighteenth brother, Hu Hai, every time I see him, I feel that we'll eventually face off. And Zhao Gao... I feel a surge of incomprehensible rage when I see him. If he weren't the Minister of the Imperial Chariots, I would have killed him long ago."

Fusu paused, then said, "If my disciple dies in hardship, I think it's because Zhao Gao pretended to obey my orders but secretly disobeyed them."

After receiving personal instruction from Confucius, Fusu has changed his usual behavior.

Although he is still elegant, he is no longer pedantic, and even his thinking and temperament are much more lively and active.

"Okay, now you understand. I don't need to say anything more." Bai Ming said, "First, kill the evil leader, then we can deal with other matters."

"Master, I have something else to ask."

"Ask, I am afraid you won't ask questions."

"Then...disciple asked?" Fusu was already prepared to run away: "Disciple observes that the relationship between Master and Yuxianren is very delicate. I wonder if Master is suitable to marry Yuxianren and have a junior brother or sister—"

Before he finished speaking, Fusu had already started running.

Chapter 88: Lao Bai was almost renamed Bai Jingzi by Yu Ji

Fusu ran fast, but the brick Bai Ming threw was even faster. The brick grew bigger and bigger, pressing Fusu to the ground.

You teased Fusu a bit, then refined a set of iron bamboo slips for him. While overseeing the repairs to the Taishan Mountain Road, you taught Fusu how to hit people quickly, accurately, and fiercely.

Fusu learned the art of controlling things.

Time passed, and the mountain road repairs were about to be completed. Fusu took over all the work in order to help you start a family.

Although Zhao Gao intended to make things difficult for you, the matter at hand concerned the First Emperor's Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai. Therefore, not only did he not do anything he shouldn't have done, he even busied himself with making arrangements to ensure the smooth progress of the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai.

[So, you and Yu Ji just looked at each other quietly, without saying anything.]

Yu Ji looked at Bai Ming carefully.

She had a lot of questions about herself that she wanted to ask the other party, but Bai Ming's riddle-telling look always made it difficult for her to speak.

In terms of treatment, Bai Ming was indeed good to her. He simply bought her clothes and food. This purposeless action made Yu Ji, who always hated humans, feel a little curious.

Not only am I gloomy, I also speak harshly and have a bad temper, but this human being can tolerate it.

What is this human being for?

These questions have been circling in Yu Ji's mind since she met Bai Ming.

Finally, Yu Ji couldn't help herself and asked, "Are we just going to look at each other like this?"

"I don't know what to talk to you about."

Bai Ming naturally thought that given the current situation, there was nothing to discuss with Yu Ji.

After all, Yu Ji had never had contact with human society before, and had no idea about what happened before that.

Even if Yu Ji wanted to discuss with her the rumored "six foods, six drinks, six meals, a hundred delicacies, a hundred sauces, and eight delicacies" that the Zhou emperor ate, she would only be confused and would not understand anything.

Bai Ming's words made Yu Ji frown and she felt a little embarrassed.

If she were in the future, she would definitely complain: This kind of awkwardness is as suffocating as a blind date without breaking the ice, but the current Yu Ji is completely like a little fool who has just entered human society for more than a year.

Yu Ji's throat moved slightly, and finally she opened her thin lips and said, "As long as it's not as awkward as it is now, anything is fine."

"You've been in human society for over a year now. How do you feel about this life?"

"Feeling..."

Yu Ji fell into deep thought. After a moment, she spoke very seriously, "Except for the fact that you won't tell me your real name, everything is fine. But I still hate human civilization. If you want me to like human civilization, you'd better give up this plan."

Yu Ji's words directly blocked the topic, and after she finished speaking, she realized the inappropriateness of her words and couldn't help but play with her beautiful long hair with her fingers.

"Then you can call me Xiang Yu, Xiang Ji or Bai Ming."

"..."

Yu Ji remained silent.

Bai Ming spread his hands and said, "So, if I don't tell you, you'll be unhappy, but if I tell you, you won't want to shout."

Yu Ji said, "They are all fake names."

Bai Mingdao: "I never said the name was fake. I've said it before. I've been active in different eras and my name is different."

Yu Ji still looked cold and icy: "Then I want your original name."

"Bai Ming."

Yu Ji's silence grew worse.

The name is not as majestic and domineering as imagined. It is hard to imagine that such a heroic man would have such a name.

"What's your handwriting?"

"No, can't it be done without words?"

Yu Ji didn't understand Bai Ming's subtext, but she didn't care much about it. She just thought that she had not been in contact with human society for long and did not understand human customs.

But Yu Ji knew that there were four situations for choosing a name.

One is to interpret the name with the character, that is, the meaning is the same; the second is that the character and the name have a connection, that is, the meaning is consistent; the third is that they are related but not completely related, that is, the meaning is similar; the fourth is that the character and the name are opposite or have nothing to do with each other.

In the Qin Dynasty, "Ji" was pronounced as "qinxiqie" and "que" was pronounced as "qiqueqie". "Ji" was borrowed as "que", so the character was changed to "yu".

Yu Ji then said, "You are lying to me. The "Yu" in your "Xiang Yu" is clearly the courtesy name of your "Xiang Ji."

Bai Ming replied without any reaction: "I didn't lie to you."

Yu Ji was silent, thinking: This human's expression is so calm, I guess he is not lying to me, so Yu Ji said: "Then let it be this way, since you have no name, I will give you one, just as a reward for giving me a name."

After saying this, Yu Ji left the scene.

After Fusu saw Yu Ji leave, he quickly ran towards Bai Ming and asked, "Master, what are you doing?"

Bai Ming shook his head. He really didn't understand Yu Ji now, so he had no idea what Yu Ji was thinking.

The Taishan Mountain Road has been repaired, and Yu Ji has read many scrolls. Before the First Emperor was about to lead his civil and military officials to Taishan for the Fengshan Ceremony, Yu Ji ran to you.

Yu Ji ran so fast that she tripped when crossing the threshold and fell straight into Bai Ming's arms.

But she still had a stern look, only with a slight blush on her cheeks.

Yu Ji said excitedly:

"Ming means bright. The character 'yue' (月) means the moon's light, and the character 'jiong' (囧) means the brightness of the window. It means clear and bright. The Chinese language also says 'ming' means bright and clear. How about your name being 'jing'? And your Taoist name—"

The Qin Dynasty's small seal script "Ming" has "Jing" on the left and "Yue" on the right. Bai Ming did hear the first half of the sentence, but before Yu Ji could finish the second half, Bai Ming covered Yu Ji's mouth.

Bai Ming has a senior brother named Chi Jingzi, and Yu Ji obviously wanted to give Bai Ming an extraordinary title, called Bai Jingzi.

If this name were to be made known to others, it would probably make the enemy laugh to death before scaring them away.

"what are you doing?"

Yu Ji broke free from Bai Ming's hand covering her mouth and said unhappily, "If you don't like it, I've prepared a backup. Ziqing, how about that?"

"I have no opinion."

Bai Ming naturally had no objection. After all, Lao Bai had a unique method of sensing Yu Ji (Ji Hinako) pressure.
