"belch."
Meng Tian burped loudly and said without thinking, "Of course it's Legalism. Confucianism talks about the etiquette of shit. On the battlefield, if any bastard from the enemy tries to reason with me, I'll chop off his head!"
"Confucian benevolence cannot erase the cruelty of human nature!"
Meng Yi also said: "Confucianism is too rigid, broad-minded and regressive, narrow-minded and disruptive. Nowadays, reforms are needed to strengthen the country. Lord Shang's reforms are iron-clad elixirs that bring benefits to the world and eliminate disadvantages. If you want to help the troubled times, you must implement them." Follow the law and obey the king’s orders!”
The opposition between Legalism and Confucianism is like the political opposition between Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng also knew that the two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi were not drunk, but by saying these words, they were not expressing their stance.
He already knows that he will be the final winner in this war without gunpowder.
He solemnly picked up the bowl, his narrow eyes filled with determination.
The two brothers Mengyi and Mengtian also picked up the bowls at the same time.
Their tough outlines were illuminated by the blazing bonfire. This was their sincere loyalty, even if they were destroyed and their bones were destroyed, "I will swear allegiance to your Majesty to the death in my humble position!"
The wine is gone and the wine is flowing.
The soldiers below lifted a huge, oily roasted whole lamb and placed it on the iron campfire. While the roasted whole lamb was sizzling, Ying Zheng suddenly asked: "Are you married?"
These words made Meng Tian and Meng Yi, who were all engrossed in waiting for Ying Zheng's question, look at each other and sober up a bit.
"Go back to your Majesty, I haven't yet." Meng Tian touched the back of his head, his weathered wheat-colored face a bit red, "But there are several concubines."
Ying Zheng asked his brother again, "Meng Yi?"
Meng Yi's eyes flickered and he said, "I don't like a shepherdess yet, but my brother and the elders in the family don't agree."
Meng Tian finally understood his brother's plan, and retorted with a blushing face: "I'm just a shepherd girl. You just brought her in to be your concubine. You have to be a wife and act like a son and daughter. Are you a real man? I think you are." Eating too much lard has blinded my heart.”
If Junshang hadn't been watching, he would have really wanted to give his brother a good beating.
Meng Yi was more mature than his brother, and said calmly, "Regardless of her background, she is gentle, honest, elegant and intelligent. She is no better than those girls from aristocratic families who were raised to be pampered, unruly, and delicate."
Speaking of raising a pampered and unruly Didi, Ying Zheng looked down at Baitao lying on his lap, lazily waiting to be fed, thinking thoughtfully.
Baitao opened her mouth and couldn't bite the meat, so she grabbed his sleeve.
"Still elegant and smart? A shepherd girl from a poor family who goes into the sheep pen every day, how can you think of such bullshit as being elegant and smart?" Meng Tian got drunk and shouted at the top of his voice, "You are from a dignified Meng family, and you keep talking such nonsense. See if I can beat you up!"
Meng Yi was still worried about the King of Qin. He chewed the big meat and endured his brother's curses, keeping silent like a saw-mouthed gourd.
Ying Zheng said slowly: "Please ask Shu, please ask Shu. Since you are a beloved lady, it is not a big deal if it is difficult to find her. Meng Yi, if you want to win the beauty back, you should be patient."
Meng Yi felt like he had met a close friend, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
After saying this, Ying Zheng glanced at the beauty lying on his lap with the end of his eyes.
Baitao caught his gaze and blinked twice, wondering why he didn't feed me. Maybe he wanted to eat alone.
It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. Baitao pulled off a chicken leg and took a few bites.
Ying Zheng was so focused on getting no response that the dark light in his eyes was like dark clouds floating in the sky, a bit resentful.
Baitao: "…………"
She hesitantly handed the chicken drumstick to him: "Do you want to eat it?"
There were still marks of her teeth on the drumstick, and Ying Zheng didn't mind it, so he came over and grabbed it with his mouth.
When Meng Tian saw that the majestic king of Qin actually ate the leftover food from a woman's hand, his resolute face revealed his disbelief.
Meng Yi thought to himself: Why is your Majesty better at pleasing ladies than me? I don't care, I will write down this trick first.
Baitao was no longer surprised by Brother Zheng eating her own leftovers. On the contrary, this was still one of the good ways to show off by sharing the prey with him.
After he finished eating, Baitao pulled out another chicken leg and said, "Brother Zheng, you are a big man in the Qin Kingdom. You should eat more."
Ying Zheng was happy that she finally treated him as a man, but sad that it didn't seem to make any difference whether he was a man or not.
But after all, in front of two subordinates, he took the chicken leg and maintained the majesty of King Qin and said, "I will do it myself."
Baitao didn't have to feed her anymore, so she took out the handkerchief from her clothes and wiped her hands.
Seeing Meng Yi and Meng Tian's bright eyes, she tilted her head and smiled broadly.
Just this pure smile, as beautiful as a goddess falling from the sky into the mortal world.
Meng Yi and Meng Tian felt their hearts skip a beat, not because of other unnecessary dirty thoughts, but simply because of the beauty's smile.
They didn't dare to look at it, and they all lowered their heads and feasted on the roasted whole lamb.
After drinking and eating, Ying Zheng led Baitao's hand down the rugged mountain road. The elk in the rustling dense forest was still whistling "yo yo yo" to the group of them, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Meng Tian said at this time: "Your Majesty, you can tell by the antlers of this deer that it is quite old. It is also a rare white deer. To be so close to Your Majesty is really humane."
Meng Yi also said: "Deer can bring longevity. The fact that this elk can come to our Qin country means that the blessings of the Qin country are endless."
"It is indeed Fuze."
Ying Zheng knew that this elk was brought here by Baitao Qianli. He curled his lips and touched Baitao's head.
Baitao was used to having her head pinched, so she just raised her head and looked at him.
Ying Zheng carried her onto the horse first, then got on the horse and pulled the reins. He said to the two brothers behind him: "Didn't Father Zhong put up a notice in Xianyang City, saying that the changes would cost a thousand pieces of gold? If any of you can win against me, go to Xianyang Palace first. I will reward you with tens of thousands of gold! Meng Yi, and your shepherdess, I will also give you a real wife!"
Meng Yi's eyes were bright and he mounted his horse energetically: "A word of gold is not worth a thousand gold of your promise, okay!"
"That's good! I'm a coward. If you really dare to marry a shepherdess, believe it or not, I will sever our brotherhood with you."
Seeing that his brother was impatient, Meng Tian gritted his teeth and chased after him with all his strength.
Meng Yi clenched his chin: "If you have the ability, just catch up with me!"
"Brother is like father, let's see if I don't hit you to death with a brick!" Meng Tian's veins popped out.
"Hahaha!"
Ying Zheng held Baitao in his arms and rode away on Juechen, doing whatever he wanted. The two brothers Meng Yi and Meng Tian followed him, and they were punching and kicking each other even though they were still on the horse.
In this way, the four of them chased the stars and the moon and finally arrived at the brightly lit Xianyang City.
*
After all, Ying Zheng is an outstanding equestrian, unmatched by anyone.
Meng Yi, who was following behind, had been beaten to a bruised and swollen face by his brother.
Although Meng Tian is not much better, he restrains his younger brother's desire to marry the shepherdess. He is cold and open-minded on the surface, but secretly happy in his heart.
He said: "I lost to you, do you have nothing to say?"
Meng Yi rubbed his face and hissed, "If I lose to you, I will lose to you, but I won't lose to you!"
Meng Tian's sharp brows raised, "If you want to embrace a beautiful woman, you must have strength yourself. This strength is not the strength you can use to talk empty words."
In short, win his dreams.
Meng Tian showed his big white teeth.
Meng Yi opened his mouth to refute.
Ying Zheng came over and patted Meng Yi on the shoulder, "Meng Yi, you are a man. Regardless of your own preferences, you must have the responsibilities and responsibilities that a man should have towards your family and General Meng. You defeated your brother with your strength. You My sweetheart needs to rely on strength to obtain the approval of the Meng clan."
The Meng family is a family that has been rooted in the Qin Kingdom for generations. The lintel cannot be climbed just by the love between children.
Meng Yi asked, "Does your Majesty also need the approval of the Ying clan to marry your sweetheart?"
Baitao leaned in Ying Zheng's arms, wondering what kind of woman Zheng brother would marry and how he would treat his future wife.
Ying Zheng circled her waist and moved closer to him. He turned the horse around with the reins and said calmly: "No need. I have Ying's strength, so why do I need other people's approval?"
Meng Tian: "."
Meng Yi: "."
Meng Guo mouthed to his younger brother, "Did you hear that, Mr. Ying?"
Meng Yi's green face couldn't hold back, and he pinched the horse's belly and threw him behind him.
Meng Tian covered his stomach with one hand, holding the rope and laughing from behind, "Hahahahahaha!"
After laughing, he turned his wrist a few times, turned his head, and followed the leader Junshang as he walked down the official road.
Xianyang at night is like a city that never sleeps.
The wide rammed earth avenue, luxurious and elegant facades, sparkling carriages and horses, and wind lanterns are hung all over the crenellations of the city wall, like entrenched long fire dragons.
Ying Zheng seldom left the palace, but he still marveled at being surrounded by the beauty and prosperity while holding the white peach.
This is his territory, and he will definitely lead Xianyang to become more prosperous in the future.
"Guest, where are you going so late? Are you staying in a hotel?"
There was an inn nearby. The three doors of the inn were wide open, and two burly thugs were standing at the door.
The waiter inside saw that they were among the best in the group, and came over with a shy smile and asked, "This is a newly opened inn in Xianyang, called Changletian. There are three private rooms in it for guests to enjoy."
Ying Zheng gave him a cold look, and the waiter's legs went weak.
Meng Tian and Meng Yi put aside their grievances and half-drawn the swords at their waists in unison with a "shu" sound, and showed their shock to the waiter of the Jiajia shop, "Get out! Our master does not live in the inn."
This attitude frightened the waiter so much that he stepped back.
Unexpectedly, when he went back, he bumped into a woman in her early thirties.
The woman's figure swayed, then she put her hands on her hips and glared, "Don't you have eyes? You dare to bump into me."
"...The owner of the house is young." The waiter stuttered when he spoke, and he was very unlucky.
The woman sneered: "You're a useless thing. You can't even do this job well. Go and go."
The waiter quickly lowered his head and ran away.
At this time, the woman patted her clothes and raised her eyes to see the group of dragon and phoenix figures in front of her, especially the one sitting on the tall horse - Baitao.
The girl huddled in the arms of the man in black cloth. She was as beautiful as a pearl, ethereal and charming with a hook. She even blinked twice when she saw her.
Just these two eyes directly take away people's hearts.
The woman opened her mouth wide and said without hesitation: "My dear, I really didn't expect that in Xianyang City, where the tough and simple style prevails, I can still see such stunning beauty. This... is going to kill me!" "
The two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi behind heard this and their foreheads jumped: Your beloved girl was molested by a woman in public on the street. What should you do as a minister?
"Thank you for the compliment." Baitao was not timid, but said generously, "You look very rich too."
This is not wrong.
This woman in her thirties is not only dressed in silk and satin, but also in earrings, hand rings, and hairpins. None of them are treasures. Look at the color and craftsmanship. , can buy most of the county.
"Yeah?"
The woman raised her fingertips to cover her mouth, but she still couldn't hide her smile, "This is just a drop in the ocean of my collection. I came all the way to Xianyang City and traveled in a light and easy manner. I dressed more simply and laughed all the time. Haha. Ha ha."
A crowd of people waited: "."
This kind of naked high-profile display of wealth has continuously pricked the hearts of Xianyang people who have simple folk customs, simplicity and pragmatism.
The people in Xianyang walking around on the street could not help but whisper.
"Who is this? His accent doesn't sound like our Xianyang accent."
"Yes, I've never seen her before. I've been working as an errand boy here for many years. It seems she came here a few months ago."
"That's not right. Why did I hear people say that she is the boss's wife of Chang Lotte?"
"Who do you care about her? She is just a rich girl. She is probably the wife of a big businessman or a concubine of some kind. Besides, what's the use of having money? She just eats that little food to fill her belly. Look at her. You can tell by looking at that butt that she is not a good mother, and any woman who is not good at giving birth is not a good woman."
"Ha ha ha ha."
These words leaked into the woman's ears word for word, and the woman angrily yelled at the short, dark-colored vendor who had just said it was difficult to have children.
"It's not easy for you to have children, and it's not easy for your whole family to have children! If you don't dare to make irresponsible remarks here just after selling this little bean soup, believe it or not, I will overturn your stall!"
The vendor's green bean-sized eyes glanced left and right, feeling that this woman was very vicious and might do such a tough thing.
He hurriedly protected his stall and said softly: "Madam, I was joking, I can't take it seriously."
The woman settled down with the hawker, turned around and raised her head and said, "My fellow villagers in Xianyang City, please listen up. I come from Bajun, a beautiful and beautiful town. I am a widow from the front door. I am not a concubine that you hang around in the corners of your mouth. This is Changletian is also owned by my widow. If you feel thirsty and tired, go in for a drink of water and rest. Don’t leave it to Uriwala to argue on the street. There is plenty of space for you to argue inside!"
The crowd said again: "Hey, she is a widow, but she is quite pitiful."
One person said: "It's strange that this widow has a hard life, and her husband can't control it. If you ask me to tell you that if you know how long your life will be, you will have to burn as much firewood as you want. If you have nothing to do, don't marry such a rich and noble woman. I can't control it. He deserves to die."
Another person followed: "It's rare for this woman to do business."
"Let's go! I happen to be tired, this new one is definitely bright, let's go and take a look."
One after another, the people of Xianyang and travelers from outside Xianyang City turned their attention to this inn run by a lively widow.
The woman saw that her goal was achieved, but she still couldn't let go of the beauty on the horse.
Ignoring the stern gaze of the man behind the beauty, the woman came over and smiled kindly at Baitao: "Little girl, my name is Ba Qing, what about you?"
Risk controller, Lu Buwei.
Angel investor, widow Qing.
