Xu Fu and others have been drifting at sea for more than a month. Although they are not short of food, they don't know what is ahead, and you can imagine their inner anxiety.
Fortunately for Xu Fu, he seemed to be born to sail, but the other sailors were a little unable to stand it.
These people became more and more homesick and taciturn. Some people repeatedly persuaded Xu Fu that it was better to turn around and sail eastward.
By this time, the sail had been repaired and it was okay to turn around and head east. It's just that the repaired sail is not as good as the original, not to mention... the monsoon is not right either.
Xu Fu said to these sailors: "Hold on a little longer. According to my guess, there should be a piece of land ahead. Let's take a rest on it and then return to Daqin."
The sailors were very worried and said: "That's what you said last time. We encountered a storm and half of our people were lost. Now is there land? Could it be..."
Xu Fu shook his head: "Don't worry, I got it this time based on the speculation of the banished immortal."
"I once overheard the banished immortal chatting with General Li Xin. It is said that there is a continent tens of millions of miles away in the east..."
Sailors: "..."
They naturally believed in the banishment of immortals. But Banished Immortal didn’t say how far exactly it is? Xu Fu relied on such a sentence, with red lips and white teeth, to say that there was a mainland ahead?
Xu Fu said categorically: "It's not wrong to banish an immortal. You believe me and hold on for a few more days."
In fact, Xu Fu was also worried, but he had to hold on.
If even he is desperate, then this team is really desperate.
The sailors sighed and left one after another.
A few days later, someone found Xu Fu and said: "The sailors on the ship began to fall ill. Their mouths began to bleed, and some people began to lose their teeth. Many people also suffered from joint pain."
Xu Fu frowned: "This seems to be the septicemia mentioned by the banished immortal. Before departure, I have brought enough beans and tea leaves. What's wrong? Didn't these people have tea?"
The beans are used to grow bean sprouts, while the tea leaves are boiled into gruel and consumed.
These two things can supplement vitamins and avoid the occurrence of sepsis.
However, sepsis still appeared on Xu Fu's ship, and he was a little puzzled.
The sailor hesitated and said: "We all ate the bean sprouts. As for the tea... You adults also know how precious this tea is, and it can be sold for a good price in Xianyang City. Therefore, everyone is reluctant to drink it and want to take it back to make a fortune." "
Xu Fu almost got angry: "What a fool, what are you doing with the tea leaves if your life is gone? I ordered you to collect everyone's tea and make tea together. If you don't want to drink it, pour it into the sea." "
After hearing this order, the sailors all complained, but they were helpless and had to drink the tea with great distress.
But Xu Fu was worried inside.
If land doesn't appear again, this tea... I'm afraid it won't be enough.
…………
In Xianyang City, Wei Young had just returned from Xiangli Zhu with a big belly.
Now Xianglizhu has almost become an obstetrician and gynecologist. She used the simple tools she had to check Weiyang as much as possible and came to the conclusion that the fetus was healthy.
Wei Yang and Li Shui were naturally beaming with joy.
Li Shui has been smiling at everyone lately. Even Wang Wan, Li Si and others were given an extension of three or two days on their monthly payments as appropriate.
Now, Li Shui was hanging a stethoscope around his neck, listening to the fetal sounds in Weiyang's belly.
The stethoscope was invented by Li Shui according to the style of later generations. Fortunately, rubber has been obtained, so it is not difficult to make these things.
Now the stethoscope has been popularized, and the doctors at Shangjun Hospital are full of praise for it.
Now the doctors trained by Shangjun Hospital are different from traditional doctors. They are called fairy doctors.
When Li Shui was beaming after hearing this, a little maid suddenly walked in and said respectfully: "Princess, a public eunuch is here."
Li Shui and Wei Yang were both slightly stunned.
Li Shui sat up straight, took off the stethoscope, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
The little maid shook her head: "I don't know."
Li Shui said: "Invite people in."
The little maid responded and came with a little eunuch.
The young eunuch bowed respectfully, and then said: "Your Majesty invites the banished immortal to come to the palace to discuss matters."
Li Shui asked in confusion: "Did your Majesty tell you what happened?"
The young eunuch said: "That's not true, but all the important ministers are here."
Li Shui said: "I will go immediately."
After the young eunuch left, Li Shui began to change clothes. Wei Yang sat next to him and said in confusion: "Why are you suddenly called into the palace? And all the important officials are here. Is there something important?"
Li Shui shook his head: "Now that the world is at peace, what big things can happen?"
I looked at Weiyang and said with a smile: "The child has not been born yet, and you have already made more than a dozen sets of clothes for him. Aren't you afraid of being tired?"
Wei Yang smiled: "I don't feel tired at all, but it's very interesting."
Li Shui gave her another instruction and then went to the palace.
At the entrance of the palace, Li Yu got out of the car and changed into a wheelchair.
Then he was pushed by the young eunuch to the Yizheng Hall.
Wheelchairs are now a fashion in Xianyang city.
Wheelchairs are not only popular inside the palace, but also outside the palace. Many dignitaries like to sit in wheelchairs and be pushed by servants at home to browse the beautiful scenery of Xianyang City when they have nothing to do.
Especially the commercial street centered on Banxian Tower. Using a wheelchair, you can look around at all the shops and come down when you find one you like.
It can also create a feeling of being close to the people, showing that it is people-oriented and integrated with the people.
After a short time, Li Shui had arrived near the Yizheng Hall, and then he saw Li Xin in the wheelchair.
Li Shui said with a smile: "Brother Li, are you here too?"
Li Xin also said with a smile: "Brother Huai, you are done again."
Li Shui said: "You can meet me, it shows that you came not early."
The two of them laughed and then entered the Council Hall.
The others have already arrived.
Chunyu Yue said quietly: "Since ancient times, only courtiers have waited for the emperor, and I have never heard of the emperor waiting for his courtiers. You two really don't follow the etiquette and law."
Li Shui coughed dryly: "I was just thinking about how to assist Your Majesty in running the country. Therefore, while I was thinking hard, I heard Your Majesty's summons and my response was a bit slow."
Li Xin: "Same here."
courtier:"……"
For a moment, they couldn't tell whether Li Shui, who kept talking, was shameless, or Li Xin, who shamelessly echoed, who was more shameless.
These two people are really indistinguishable.
Ying Zheng didn't care, he said calmly: "I summoned all the ministers here to discuss the matter of Feng Chan Taishan."
The courtiers were slightly stunned.
Obviously, this was the first time they had heard of Ying Zheng's idea.
But they reacted quickly.
The first person to react was Li Si.
He said with emotion on his face: "Your Majesty destroyed the six kingdoms and pacified the world. He also defeated the Xiongnu and the Peacock Kingdom... Now our territory of Great Qin is more than a hundred times larger than that of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties."
"It is right for your Majesty to enshrine Mount Tai. God should let God know about the achievements of our Great Qin and your Majesty's achievements."
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.
Others, of course, have no objections.
After all, Li Si was right, the merit he deserved was too great. If this does not lead to the title of Zen, then no one is qualified to grant the title of Zen.
But the courtiers finally got into an argument. The focus of the argument was how to get to Mount Tai.
Chunyu Yue believed that according to the ancient system, the emperor had six chariots.
Ying Zheng should have sat in the carriage and patrolled all the way east, and finally arrived at Mount Tai to be enshrined.
Chunyu Yue felt that there was no objection to this, but Li Shui and Li Xin actually raised objections.
These two people thought that it was better to take the train than to work as a carriage and travel.
Now the railway from Xianyang City to Qidi has been basically completed.
And when the emperor goes on tour, he still needs several months of preparation time. Using this time, it must have been opened to traffic.
Taking the train is not only faster, but also saves effort. Why not give it a try?
Chunyu Yue said with some displeasure: "You are just making a fool of yourself. You want your Majesty to sit in a train and go to Mount Tai? This is simply unprecedented."
Li Shui said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you have committed the old habit again. You are learning from the past instead of the present."
"The ancients didn't take trains, so can't we take trains? The ancients didn't use paper to write, so can't we use paper? The ancients didn't rule the world, so is it wrong for Your Majesty to rule the world?"
"Sister-in-law, I suspect that you are using this to attack His Majesty's great achievements. This is obviously a conspiracy..."
Li Xin coughed dryly beside him: "Brother Huai, this is our sister-in-law."
Li Shui was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Sorry, I just said it right."
He cleared his throat and said to Chunyu Yue: "Of course, I believe that my sister-in-law will never rebel. But... you should say less of this kind of words in the future. If someone who likes to catch wind and shadows hears it, I'll give it to you. Being labeled as a rebel. Wouldn’t that be bad?”
Chunyu Yue stared angrily: Are there any such shameless people in the world? In Xianyang City, except for you, a shameless person, who would label others as treason?
Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui and Li Xin and thought to himself: It is said that there is something new in the Immortal Exile Tower, called cross talk. It's just two people singing and telling jokes to make people laugh. Could it be...that they were imitated by these two people? Interesting, interesting.
Ying Zheng was thinking something funny in his heart, but he would never show it on his face.
He looked at the courtiers calmly and asked, "What do you think?"
These courtiers all said: "There is certainly a reason to banish an immortal. However... we feel that it would be too strange to take a train to Fengchan Taishan."
These courtiers always like to rebel against Huai.
What's more, now that everyone has borrowed money from Li Shui, they feel that their lives are protected, so they don't have to worry so much when discussing government affairs.
Of course, the main reason is... they really think riding a train is weird.
It is said that coal and iron from Northland County were transported by train.
If His Majesty worships Mount Tai and takes the train, wouldn't it be the same as coal and iron? This is simply unreasonable.
Ying Zheng nodded, seeming to agree with Chun Yuyue's opinion.
At this time, Li Shui suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I think that the granting of Zen to Mount Tai is a major matter and should be discussed by all the courtiers. I think it is best for the courtiers to discuss it during the court meeting."
Ying Zheng said calmly: "Yes."
Li Shui and others came out of Ying Zheng's study.
Chunyu Yue and others looked at Li Shui in confusion.
Chunyu Yue said: "Exiled Immortal, do you think the adults above the court will agree with your opinion?"
Li Shuigan laughed and said, "Justice lies in the heart of the people."
Chunyu Yue shook his head, feeling that Li Shui was simply humiliating himself.
But...he's so thick-skinned, maybe he's not afraid of humiliation.
Li Shui returned to Shangjun Courtyard and found that Weiyang had been waiting for him.
After all, Wei Yang was a little worried when she was suddenly called to the palace.
Li Shui smiled at Weiyang: "Nothing. It's just a matter of your majesty's granting Zen to Mount Tai."
Wei Yang breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled: "Fengchan Taishan, is it okay?"
Li Shui said: "I am an immortal. In the eyes of immortals, Fengchan Taishan is too common, so I think it's okay."
Weiyang: "..."
This makes so much sense, I don’t even know how to refute it.
Afterwards, Li Shui explained what he had just discussed.
After hearing this, Weiyang said helplessly: "Training to Fengchan Taishan? It's really weird."
She turned Li Shui's face and looked at him curiously.
Li Shui was a little puzzled: "What are you doing?"
Wei Yang said: "I'm just a little strange, why do you always like to go against those courtiers?"
Li Shui said: "Of course I know that making a train is weird. But... Your Majesty must make a train this time."
Weiyang asked curiously: "Why?"
Li Shui said: "Your Majesty wants to enshrine Tianshan Mountain and communicate with heaven. As a banished immortal, I must accompany you."
Weiyang hummed: "Of course."
Li Shui added: "However, the journey from Xianyang City to Mount Tai is long. If you take a carriage, it may take half a year to go back and forth."
Weiyang said: "Yes, so what?"
Li Shui pointed at Weiyang's belly: "When the child is born, I want to be by your side."
Weiyang was stunned immediately.
She looked at Li Shui, and her eyes suddenly turned red: "Husband, I..."
Women are so easily moved.
Wei Young threw herself into Li Shui's arms, and Li Shui couldn't help but feel distraught. After all...it's been six or seven months.
So he stroked Wei Young's back and said with a mean smile on his face: "Do you think I'm very good?"
Weiyang nodded vigorously.
Li Shui said in her ear: "Then tonight..."
After Weiyang heard this, she was angry and funny at the same time.
She hit Li Shui: "Are you crazy? I'm pregnant."
Li Shui coughed dryly: "Then what...don't you still have hands?"
Weiyang: "Huh?"
Li Shui added: "Don't you still have a mouth?"
Wei Young's face was red to her neck: "Get out."
For the first time, she said something bad.
Then he walked quickly back to the room and closed the door tightly.
"Hmph, no wonder others say you are shameless. See for yourself how you look like an immortal." Weiyang muttered in a low voice.
However... her mind quickly returned to her favorite things.
When she got married in the past, Poppy once gave her some silk paintings. What is painted on it is of course how to perform the courtesy of Zhou Gong and reproduce the descendants.
However... in addition to the serious road of human relations, there are a few pictures that seem to... indeed use hands and...
"Oh, that's so shameless. How could I have thought of this?" Weiyang knocked her head, and her hair became a little messy due to her tossing. And this lazy look makes it even more pretty.
