After all, in the middle of the Warring States Period, Mencius clearly put forward the view that "he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world", and the aristocratic families in the Han area who were familiar with Confucian classics were of course very clear about this view, and they were even more clear about what it meant.
"Does this mean that you can become emperor next year?"
One afternoon at the end of December in the first year of Chuping, in the viewing pavilion on the attic terrace of the General's Mansion in Luoyang, Xiaobai, who was looking at the city of Luoyang side by side with Qin Bin, sipping tea and watching the snow, asked Qin Bin this question after reading the document submitted by the Intelligence Department on the current public opinion feedback from the twelve states of the Han area.
Qin Bin held the steaming teacup in his hands, and took a sip with his eyes wide open like an old man before saying, "It is indeed possible, but I plan to eat Jiaozhou first. Of course, this won't take long, after all, the envoys from Jiaozhou are already on their way to Luoyang."
Chapter 372: Something is wrong with my hometown again - Part
The pavilion under the snow scene, accompanied by Cai Yu's piano music and the subtle and crisp sounds of Diao Chan washing the tea sets, is very beautiful.
During the meal, Xiao Bai put down the documents from the Intelligence Department, reached out and picked up a piece of plum cake on the table in front of him, took a small bite, and then said, "Then it is a foregone conclusion that he will be crowned emperor next year. In this case, let's get the invitation letter as soon as possible."
"Invitation letter..." Qin Bin's expression looked a little strange.
Seeing Qin Bin like this, Xiao Bai asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"
"Nothing, I just feel that what I am doing is usurping the throne, which is really not a glorious thing."
After hearing what Qin Bin said, Xiao Bai couldn't help but laugh, "You are right, but we can't just let such a good opportunity to become popular go unused, right?"
"It's true that we won't use it, and we'll even add more scenes." Qin Bin paused, and then said, "Should we ask Liu Xie to make some onion water to rub his eyes or something?"
Qin Bin's words made Cai Yu and Diao Chan couldn't help laughing, and at the same time they felt a lot of emotion in their hearts.
As for Liu Xie, Qin Bin did not confine him to the palace, but allowed him to go out during his spare time.
So every day after court and finishing the various courses arranged by Qin Bin, Liu Xie would definitely leave the palace and fool around in Luoyang city.
Liu Xie also completely inherited his ancestors' various hobbies. He could learn things quickly, such as dog walking and cockfighting. In addition, he grew up in the deep palace and was extremely curious about everything outside. As a result, there soon appeared in Luoyang City a dandy young man who was enough to make all the Han officials' heads explode.
Of course, the title of "dandy boy" is a bit too much. After all, the female guards and maids arranged by Qin Bin will not let Liu Xie harm the people. Even if he is having fun, they will guide him in a good direction to prevent him from being overly addicted.
However, in the eyes of the Han officials, it was obvious that Qin Bin wanted to use soft tactics to destroy Liu Xie, so that Liu Xie would gradually grow into a good-for-nothing who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and thus would not be able to threaten the general with his ambitions.
The Han officials wanted to advise the emperor several times at the morning court, but they knew that Liu Xie would not be the emperor for long, so they could only sigh inwardly and blame themselves for their failure to the late emperor.
Regardless of the wisdom or helplessness of those Han officials, the matter was essentially a misunderstanding on the part of the Han officials.
Qin Bin really never thought of destroying Liu Xie by indulging himself.
Because in Qin Bin's eyes, as long as Liu Xie completed the courses and homework relatively well, it was completely reasonable for him to find some small hobbies and gadgets to enrich his life in his spare time.
In Qin Bin's opinion, children of this age should work hard to learn and increase their knowledge, but they cannot study all day long. They must combine work and rest and have a proper balance between relaxation and tension.
At least that's how Qin Bin came to be, and since he thought he hadn't grown into a bad person, he applied his own approach to Liu Xie.
As it stands, Liu Xie is gradually becoming the person Qin Bin wants to see. He studies hard when he should, and plays freely when he should. However, he can also return to the palace on time before nightfall every day, and gradually review on his own, and have a regular schedule.
In some ways, Liu Xie is more obedient and makes Qin Bin less worried than Qin Wu and Qin Yanran when they were children.
As Qin Bin treated Liu Xie as his younger brother and took care of him, Liu Xie gradually began to be treated as his older brother by Qin Bin.
As for the ten-year-old Liu Xie, he began to "let himself go" a little after he vaguely understood that he did not need to shoulder any responsibility heavier than Mount Tai, such as the glory of the Han Dynasty or the revival of the Han Dynasty. He also vaguely felt that no matter what happened, his general would cover him, and that as long as the general was there, no court official would dare to bully him.
This 'letting go of oneself' refers to the throne, power and so on. Liu Xie, who had little concept of them to begin with, cared even less about them after this kind of spiritual liberation.
Even a few days ago, Liu Xie asked Qin Bin when he would usurp the throne, and seemed to urge Qin Bin to do it quickly.
When Qin Bin asked the reason, the little guy stammered and said that early morning court was too inhumane. He had to get up at four or five in the morning and sit upright on the throne for at least two hours. It was too tiring and boring.
In this regard, after confirming at the soul level that Liu Xie truly thought so, Qin Bin was somewhat amused, but soon felt relieved.
After all, under normal circumstances, it is difficult for a ten-year-old child to calm down, especially when he can hardly understand anything. It is even more of a torture to listen to the ministers chattering for at least two hours.
Faced with this situation, let alone children, even adults may not be able to bear it if it happens every day.
Therefore, it is understandable that Liu Xie, who had no idea about the importance of the throne and power, easily gave up his desire for the throne.
In short, Liu Xie now doesn't care about the throne at all. He even hopes that he doesn't have to attend the morning court and listen to the chatter of those ministers. Qin Bin is sure that at the abdication ceremony later, Liu Xie will probably laugh more happily than anyone else.
In short, because during this period of time, Liu Xie completely showed the way a child should be under Qin Bin's "indulgence", which also led to Liu Xie becoming less and less interested in the throne, and even wishing that Qin Bin would usurp the throne, which led to Qin Bin's remarks.
Let’s get back to the topic.
Xiao Bai also found Qin Bin's words funny, so he said, "We really need to get some onion water for Liu Xie, otherwise it won't have any impact at all. If you can't highlight that you are a bully, how can you make the world's feelings towards you more complicated? By the way, should we remind the Han officials who are present at that time? Let them cry without worry, so as to create a better atmosphere?"
"That's not necessary. Even after I remind them, those Han officials will probably not cry anymore."
"Don't you dare?"
"Yes." Qin Bin nodded. "If I don't mention it, they might not be able to hold back their tears and might even feel regretful and confused afterwards. But as long as I pretend not to know, everything will be fine. If I ask them to do this in advance, they will have wild thoughts and even fall into mental exhaustion."
"It seems so. With a being who can decide the life and death of me and my family in a single thought, how can I not be cautious... This is probably the sadness of being a minister." Xiaobai nodded in relief, but suddenly remembered something, so he said, "By the way, Xiaobin, how do you plan to deal with Qin Ling? You have established your own country, and you also occupy a fiefdom in Kana. It seems a bit inappropriate, right?"
"No, it's not inappropriate. This kind of situation often occurred in Europe during the Middle Ages on Earth. Even in the Eternal Continent, there have been many cases where the monarch of one country served as the lord of another country."
"Eh? Is that so?"
"Well, there are many records of this in the History of the Western Nations of the Eternal Continent, and there are also two examples in the History of the Eastern Continent before the establishment of the Kana Empire."
"Well, that's easy if there's a precedent." Xiaobai knew very little about the history of the nations of the Eternal Continent. Even before he met Qin Bin, he knew nothing about it and had no interest in learning about it. It was only after being with Qin Bin for so long over the years and being influenced by him that he had some sporadic knowledge about it.
Qin Bin smiled and said, "In fact, it is easy to solve even if there is no precedent. As long as I transfer the Qin Territory and the title to Teresa, or make it clear that Teresa's offspring is the first in line to the Qin Territory, then everyone will accept it."
Xiao Bai nodded, "Yeah, I just thought of this. But since there is a precedent, it is most practical for you to take on the role concurrently, especially since Qin Ling also has the characteristics of a transit station for all realms. It is really not suitable for transferring authority, even in name only."
"really--"
Qin Bin nodded, and when he was about to say something, Meng Yuan's voice suddenly came into his and Xiao Bai's minds.
[Dream Wish: Something has happened again back home on Earth.]
【Qin Bin: Oh? What is it this time? 】
[Dream Wish: A soul that crosses time, well, it means a person who has been reborn from the future to the present.]
[Xiao Bai: Traveling to another world, national destiny, ancient martial arts cultivation, spiritual energy revival, and now there is a reborn person whose soul travels back to the past... Tsk tsk, I am too lazy to complain. ]
[Mengyuan: Actually, I feel the same way. I really don’t understand what’s going on in my hometown, Earth.]
Chapter 373: Something is wrong with my hometown again - Part
【Qin Bin: Maybe our hometown is the only... um, 'real world'? 】
[Mengyuan & Xiaobai: ...Eh? ?]
[Qin Bin: I was just talking nonsense. Even if I was right, it would only be a piece of knowledge. Don't worry about it. What's more important now is to evaluate the value and harm of this soul-reborn person. Xiao Meng.]
[Mengyuan: Oh, the soul strength is very high, almost reaching the eighth-order legendary level. The physical strength is currently at the level of an ordinary adult female. It seems that it also has a system or something like that. The location is... Room XX, XX floor, XX district, Beijing, my hometown. Well, that's all for now.]
After hearing this, Qin Bin @his second uncle in the official chat group of his hometown Earth and told the story.
[Qin Hua: It's rare that after a year of peace, it's happening again?! Is this the end?]
【Qin Bin: It seems like it’s not over yet.】
[Qin Hua: Okay, I'll take people to deal with it right away. By the way, nephew, the first Huashan Sword Contest will start in a few days, do you want to come back and join in the fun? ]
【Qin Bin: The Battle of Huashan? 】
【Qin Hua: It was a group of second-year students from the Ancient Martial Arts Academy who spontaneously organized a martial arts competition. They even called it the Huashan Sword Contest, and actually planned to raise funds to hold it at Huashan. The higher-ups thought that this kind of activity could further encourage more people to practice martial arts, and at the same time, it could also be used to further implement and promote modern martial arts ethics, so they took it over and let the government host it.】
【Qin Bin: I see. That’s quite interesting. Let’s take a look at the situation first. Xiaobai and I will go take a look if we have time.】
【Qin Hua: Okay, I won’t say any more. I’m leaving now. I’ll let you know if there’s anything new.】
【Qin Bin: Okay. I am also very curious about the future. Once you have had contact with the other party and the other party’s emotions have stabilized, tell me and I will go over to take a look.】
【Qin Hua: OK.】
【Qin Bin: That’s right.】
【Qin Hua: What’s the matter? 】
[Qin Bin: What royal title do you like? I mean the ancient Chinese royal title.]
【Qin Hua: King Qin, after all, my last name is Qin. Why are you asking this suddenly?】
[Qin Bin: During this period of time, I have conquered a country and am preparing to usurp the throne. I will definitely make a king out of my own family.]
【Qin Hua:......? ! !】
[Qin Hua: Such a big deal?!]
[Qin Bin: There is no way. Everyone in the Wanjie group is a head of state. I am just a small earl, so I am a little out of place.]
[Qin Hua: You actually care about these things, nephew, you have changed.]
[Qin Bin: I'm married and have a family, but I'm still the same. Doesn't that mean I'm not growing up?]
【Qin Hua: Okay, that makes sense. But it’s not good to arbitrarily confer a title of king, right?】
[Qin Bin: In addition to salary, the title of king here does not include fiefdom and military and political power. In addition, you are a blood relative of the founding emperor, so it is not a big deal to get a title of king. Oh, I conquered the Han Empire at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so it is natural for relatives to be crowned kings.]
【Qin Hua: The end of the Eastern Han Dynasty...isn't that history?】
【Qin Bin: Of course not, it is a special world based on history, romance and games.】
[Qin Hua: It sounds very exciting. Have you met Zhuge Liang? ]
【Qin Bin: I have seen him, but Zhuge Liang is only ten years old now, and he is a very smart little guy.】
【Qin Hua: It’s quite interesting. I’ll go there to play during my holidays.】
【Qin Bin: It’s up to you.】
【Qin Hua: That’s good. Also, forget about the title of king, at least not before I retire. After all, I am still an active military serviceman.】
【Qin Bin: That’s fine, let’s talk about this after you retire.】
【Qin Hua: That’s it for now. Say hello to your wives for me.】
【Qin Bin: OK.】
After finishing the conversation with his second uncle, Qin Bin asked Xiang Mengyuan in his mind.
[Qin Bin: Xiao Meng, since that person can travel back from the future, is there a possibility of reverse operation? ]
【Mengyuan: This? Theoretically, it exists, but forget it. Not to mention that we can't even use the slightly higher quality time laws at present, the peculiarities of our home planet alone mean that we have no other way to conduct any time-crossing-related behaviors except relying on probability.
By the way, although this person is a soul that has traveled back from the future, at least this is the characteristic. However, there is no deterministic future with a long span of time on the old Earth. In other words, there are countless futures in the true sense on the old Earth. Therefore, the so-called future of this person is just one of the countless futures in the old world. The value of future information is probably not very high, so you don’t have to expect too much. 】
【Qin Bin: So...】
......
In my hometown Earth, at night, in a residential area in the capital of China, in an ordinary commercial house, there is a room full of girlish atmosphere and warm colors.
"I... am reborn...?!"
A young woman, about seventeen or eighteen years old, sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
"This is my room... It's intact... This is before the end of the world... Right...!!"
The woman was startled and hurried to the desk to pick up the strange yet familiar mobile phone on it.
She successfully unlocked the phone screen with her fingerprint, and when she saw the date on it, she couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
"Great! Great! It's half a year before the end of the world! Yes, half a year!"
"Half a year later, the meteorite carrying the zombie virus will arrive on Earth... I can use this time to build a shelter. After getting through the first wave, I can look for mutant fruits... I remember there is a mutant fruit in a botanical garden near the community... In the end times... only people with special abilities are qualified to survive... The sooner I get the mutant fruit, the better... And... Oh, by the way, sister... sister!!"
The woman soon woke up from her trance, and with an expression of infinite longing for her loved ones on her face, she rushed out of the room in a hurry.
She was going to meet her sister who died saving her not long after the apocalypse!
After the woman ran out of the room, she noticed some noise in the kitchen, so she ran to the kitchen without caring about anything else, shouting as she ran.
"elder sister!"
"Ok?"
In the kitchen, a mature lady responded doubtfully and looked towards the kitchen entrance.
Soon she saw her sister rushing into the kitchen and throwing herself towards her with tears on her face.
The lady was stunned, but then she realized that she was holding a frying pan and a spatula in her hands, so she let them float in the air and reached out to catch her sister in time.
"What's wrong? Did you encounter a cockroach? Haha... you're already this old..." The lady hugged her sister and said happily.
