Whose Xingyue looks like you?

He didn't want his clean clothes to be stained with blood by Yu Ji, who was almost at the end of her patience.

"Then I'll call you whatever you want."

After Yu Ji gave you a courtesy name, Qing, you both followed the First Emperor's troops to Mount Tai.

[Of course, poor Fusu still couldn't go with him, as he was still serving as regent]

[During this journey, Yu Ji attracted much attention as a female official who stayed by your side and did not have to go out to sea to seek the traces of immortals like Xu Fu and other Confucian scholars and alchemists.]

Yu Ji didn't care about the human gazes, but just quietly followed you forward. However, those civil officials, especially the Confucian scholars headed by Chunyu Yue, were even more furious towards you.

Chapter 89: Fengshan at Mount Tai/Alas, Yu Ji, I love you

The group marched in a grand procession to the foot of Mount Tai.

Chunyu Yue advised, "Since ancient times, emperors who have performed Fengshan rituals on Mount Tai have all fasted and bathed, abstained from meat and eaten a vegetarian diet, and bathed and changed their clothes. Your Majesty should fast and eat a vegetarian diet for three days and follow the ritual system."

The First Emperor looked at the winding new mountain road and felt relieved. However, after hearing Chunyu Yue's words, he became unhappy.

But considering the impact, since he himself has accepted the theory of the five elements of Qi and Lu, he should also abide by some rules.

Chunyu Yue saw that his advice was effective and was about to say something when he heard Bai Ming's words:

"I have a question that I hope Dr. Chunyu can answer."

Chunyu Yue was puzzled, but seeing the guy he disliked asking him questions, Chunyu Yue must have been very proud.

"Even though you've traveled all over the world, I didn't expect you to be so short-sighted. Just ask."

Bai Ming didn't pay any attention to Chunyu Yue's insults. "I wonder which three animals are in the sea sacrifice?"

"How difficult is that? The three big animals are cattle, sheep, and pigs, and the three small animals are pigs, fish, and chickens."

"Is it meaty?"

"Yes, so what?"

Chunyu Yue instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on why.

Bai Mingdao said, "Even meat is offered to the gods in sacrifices. If even the gods eat meat, what does it matter if His Majesty the First Emperor does?"

"this--"

Chunyu Yue hesitated, and Bai Ming stepped forward, speaking in a threatening tone:

"What's this? Let me ask you again. The Zhou emperor is called the Son of Heaven, and since the Qin dynasty replaced the Zhou dynasty, your Majesty the First Emperor is the one appointed by Heaven. Whether to eat or not is a matter for Heaven and your Majesty to discuss. Do you think you can defy the laws of nature and the vast heavens and earth? Or do you think you're the reincarnation of King Zhuangxiang of Qin?"

The First Emperor, who was watching the fun from the side, couldn't hold back when he heard this, but he acquiesced to Bai Ming's behavior of disgusting Chunyu Yue - mainly because Bai Ming and Yu Ji were real immortals, and it was impossible for them to do anything wrong in rituals.

Chunyu Yue's expression changed drastically. For a moment, he felt his three clansmen leaving him. He took a few steps back to prevent Bai Ming from suddenly attacking him, and then said angrily:

"You sharp-tongued thief Taoist priest, stop your nonsense. This is the etiquette and rules that have been in place since ancient times."

"Since ancient times, there has been no emperor. Do you want me to blame myself?"

The First Emperor's words made Chunyu Yue kneel before him and said in fear, "I dare not."

Zhao Gao added at this time: "You don't dare, not that you don't want to."

Chunyu Yue lay on the ground motionless.

Yu Ji followed behind Bai Ming and quietly learned Bai Ming's sharp tongue and unreasonable skills.

The First Emperor snorted coldly and ignored the Confucian scholars from Qi and Lu.

The First Emperor led his ministers in burning incense and bathing for three days, while you and Yu Ji led some Confucian scholars and alchemists to prepare for the subsequent matters of the Fengshan ceremony.

[The First Emperor began to climb the mountain amidst the crowd

During the journey, people lit torches and burned incense and candles, using the light and smoke to convey the worshippers' respect to the heavens.

A huge crowd of people climbed to the top of Mount Tai from the Yangdao Road. The First Emperor offered sacrifices to the gods in the temple at the Jade Emperor Peak of Mount Tai. He then personally recited the first, second, and final offerings to inform his ancestors.

A circular altar was built on the top of Mount Tai to thank Heaven for his contribution, and a stone was erected to praise the achievements and virtues of the First Emperor of Qin, commemorating his enthronement.

[Afterwards, under your guidance, the First Emperor held a banquet on the top of Mount Tai, entertaining all living things in heaven and earth, as well as civil and military officials.]

During the banquet, Yu Ji couldn't help but mutter, "This kind of thing is so troublesome."

"This is also inevitable."

Bai Ming sighed, and Yu Ji looked displeased. "I should have stayed in Xianyang City and tinkered with your artificial man. The things on it are too dangerous and must be dismantled. How can you ensure peace in the world if you've made a mess of it like that?"

Bai Ming's expression was subtle, and he said, "The hermit has his own clever plan."

Yu Ji paused for a moment, then said directly and confidently: "I don't understand. Tell me something I can understand."

Bai Ming shook his head and sighed, then said without thinking, "Ah, Yu Ji, I love you."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ji did not react at all, but silently covered her ears with her hair.

Then he said, "Drink less. You are already unconscious."

Bai Ming didn't care.

I just feel deeply moved:

What a nice girl she is now? How did she become a surly, resentful woman who would curse at her own ass?

What made Bai Ming feel awkward was that Yu Ji wanted to tinker with the Kuaiji Zero for him, judging from the current development situation.

The name Bai Ming had randomly reported earlier had already made him an independent Xiang Yu, not the Xiang Yu named by another robot named Xiang Liang.

In other words, when he first called Aku Hinako a gloomy, autistic old maiden for two thousand years, it was very likely that he had thrown a boomerang.

He could still think of Aku Hinako's smug and sarcastic words. The worst that could happen was that he would just go back and continue to pretend that he didn't know.

"What makes you think this kind of wine can make me drunk?"

Yu Ji stared at Bai Ming for a long time, and after making sure that he was indeed very sober, she ignored Bai Ming again.

Her mood was up and down, and she was very nervous.

After the banquet, everyone prepared to descend the shady slope. The Phoenix Fire you had arranged in advance flew across the sky. Chunyu Yue, knowing that he had displeased the First Emperor and that three or even nine clans were in danger, said that this was an auspicious sign, meaning that the Qin Dynasty would achieve great success and great virtue by merging water and fire.

[Outsider with a natural talent for pleasure, activate]

[Talent is activated in the name of "Brando"]

You, being petty-minded, don't intend to let this old dog Chunyu live comfortably, and Zhao Gao also has the same intention.

[You transmit a message to the Phoenix Fire, and it descends from the sky, spewing fire towards Chunyu Yue.]

Zhao Gao took the opportunity to advise that seeing that Xiangrui was displeased with Chunyu Yue, he believed that he was causing great harm to the country and that he should retire and return home.

[The Confucian scholars and doctors were shocked and pleaded for mercy. The First Emperor warned the Confucian scholars not to commit the same offense again and demoted Chunyu Yue as a punishment.]

[The Phoenix Fire cried out, flew high into the sky, and flew far away.]

Chunyu Yue holds a grudge against you and Zhao Gao, but you don't care at all. After all, you not only have to deal with Chunyu Yue, but also Zhao Gao.

The people descended the shady slope and found a small hill called Liangfu Mountain at the foot of Mount Tai. They built a square altar on it to thank the earth for its merits and buried the jade disc containing the Fengshan documents underground as a memorial. This was the "Chan" part of the Fengshan ceremony.

[The Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai was over. On the way back, the weather turned gloomy and then it started to rain.]

When those Confucian scholars who were not given important positions heard about this, they were overjoyed. Some said this was the consequence of not following their rules. Some said it was the First Emperor's immorality and that Heaven was weeping. Some also imitated Confucius and satirized the First Emperor. However, the satire was not on the main point; it was just an ugly imitation.

The news spread quickly. The First Emperor said nothing after hearing it, but the Confucian scholars in the court could no longer hold back.

Many Confucian scholars and doctors began to make amends: "Fire first, then water. This is a good omen for rain, in line with the water virtue of the Great Qin and the divine power of Your Majesty."

Yu Ji felt very amused in her heart, thinking that she was just out for a trip to Mount Tai and watched a drama troupe by the way.

Chapter 90 So, what’s the price?

The First Emperor continued his sea tour with his civil and military ministers.

[Wherever they passed, they offered sacrifices to famous mountains, rivers, and the Eight Gods, and prayed for blessings from the immortal Xianmen and others.]

"What is Yagami then?"

Yu Ji, who had little contact with human society, couldn't help but ask this question after accidentally hearing the Confucian scholars mention the concept of "Eight Gods".

Bai Ming began to explain, "The names of the Eight Gods have existed since ancient times. Some say they were created by Qi Taigong, also known as Jiang Taigong. The first is the Lord of Heaven, who is worshipped at Tianqi, where there is a deep water. The second is the Lord of Earth, who prefers shade and is worshipped at Liangfu Mountain under Mount Tai, where the Fengshan Jade Disc was previously buried. The Earth prefers sunlight, so worshipping it must be done on a round hill in a low-lying area. That's why in the past, sacrifices were held on round altars on the sunny slopes and square altars on the shady slopes.

The third is the Lord of War, offering sacrifices to Chiyou; the fourth is the Lord of Yin, offering sacrifices at Mount Shen; the fifth is the Lord of Yang, offering sacrifices at Mount Zhifu; the sixth is the Lord of the Moon, offering sacrifices at Mount Lai; the seventh is the Lord of the Sun, offering sacrifices at Mount Cheng; the eighth is the Lord of the Four Seasons, offering sacrifices at Mount Langye. If you wish to see them, I will send them a yellow talisman, and they will be forced to come to see me.

Yu Ji knew that Bai Ming had this ability, so she didn't say anything. She just rejected Bai Ming's idea of ​​arresting those so-called Eight Gods without saying a word: "I just asked casually, I don't have too much thought about it."

[No strange incidents occurred during the parade, and you all returned to Xianyang Palace safely.]

【Fusu can finally break free from the cage of the regent】

[The aristocratic family originated in the Shang and Zhou dynasties and reached its peak during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. However, due to your interference, Fusu's reign was somewhat influenced by your Jocelyn Brando.]

[He wooed some, divided some, suppressed some, and killed some of the aristocratic families, and kept them in check]

Many aristocratic families have transferred their resentment towards Fusu onto you, his teacher. They believe that if it weren't for you, Fusu would have been turned into a puppet for the prosperity of Confucianism by those fermented bean curds.

[So, under the instigation of some of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, many aristocratic families and even local tyrants are preparing to unite and kill you.]

[However, you don't care at all. After all, Lao Tzu said, "Be good at doing things with your ability and be good at taking action at the right time." When doing things, you should not only be good at using your abilities, but also learn to seize the opportunity.]

[Talent is activated in the name of Brando]

[You, who long for peace of mind, will never let any of them go. All nine of their clans are marked by you.]

You begin investigating their relationships, and Yu Ji is learning some of your behaviors.

[After you marked yourself, you hired an assassin to kill you. Then you slaughtered all nine clans of a noble family. The First Emperor wanted to say something, but after all, nine clans was too much. Five clans would be enough.]

After the First Emperor slaughtered a family he had long wanted to kill for treason, the other families all praised the First Emperor as a benevolent ruler and hoped that he would kill the arrogant Bai Ming.

Fusu responded before the First Emperor's second move.

Your disciple Qiao Songzi, or Young Master Fusu, is incredibly talented and has created a unique technique called the Immortal Way's Ultimate Move: The Three Clans Separation Technique.

[Using blood ties as a bond, he caused the sudden death of three clans, painless and peaceful death]

The surviving descendants of the aristocratic families whose three clans were exterminated all praised Crown Prince Fusu as a man of unparalleled benevolence and righteousness, and a benevolent and virtuous ruler.

[The actions of the powerful families against you are shattered.]

The First Emperor hesitated to speak, but in the end, he said nothing. At least Fusu was no longer the rebellious son who would contradict him every now and then.
