Chapter 734, Is This a Fairy Tale?

"Queen Mother, that's not what you said, and that's not what it means. What's more, you even got the order wrong. It's just that women and villains are difficult to raise. Those who are close will not be grandchildren, and those who are far away will complain , It's not the only villain and woman who is difficult to raise in your mouth, Queen Mother." Dong Qing complained.

This dialogue from the Analects of Confucius has always been misunderstood by many people. Confucius was talking about women, not women, but women always put this sentence on their own.

"That's what Confucius said. It's not what it means, what else could it mean?" Zhao Ji said unhappily.

This sentence can be called a thunderbolt on the spot, and Dong Qing took a deep breath.

"Queen Mother, women refer to those who rely on favors and are arrogant. It is difficult for such people to cultivate their own righteousness, and it is difficult to support their body, mind, sex, and life. Therefore, you must have a sense of distance when getting along with them. If you are too close, you will be rude and broken. Rules, too far away, can easily lead to resentment."

"As long as you're smart, I'm a villain, I'm proud of favors, you'll never get the box." Zhao Ji was very upset, but her expression had a hint that you were coming to coax me.

"Queen Mother, why don't you just tell me what you want me to do." Dong Qing looked up to the sky and sighed.

Seeing the helpless and pitiful look of the man in front of her, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Ji's mouth, but she quickly covered it up.

"After the last story is told, I will give you the box. It shouldn't be difficult to do, right?" Zhao Ji said calmly.

"It's not difficult, I'm just worried," Dong Qing pointed out.

"Don't worry, I will never break my promise."

Zhao Ji got up and sat next to Dong Qing, looking at Dong Qing expectantly with her beautiful eyes.

"Ahem, Empress Dowager, don't come so close to me. It's inconvenient. Last time I talked about it to the ninety-seventh chapter. Lin Daiyu burned the manuscript to end her infatuation, and Xue Baochai came out of her boudoir to become a grand gift. Let's continue from here."

Dongqing coughed a few times in embarrassment, gently pushed away Zhao Ji who had posted it, looked at the transparent screen that outsiders could not see, and began to talk about Dream of Red Mansions in a serious manner.

This transparent screen was released by a special soul tool and hung on Dong Qing's waist. In the eyes of outsiders, it was just an inconspicuous white warm jade pendant.

This special soul guide can store information and knowledge. It is similar to a USB flash drive. You can also call it a USB flash drive, but it is not comparable to ordinary USB flash drives.

Not only can information and knowledge be stored, but it can also be projected on the retina.

This is the latest laboratory product of the Tiandou Empire's soul tool research department. It is still too early for civilian use, and each is worth hundreds of millions of gold soul coins. Currently, only Dong Qing and Emperor Qinghe [Qian Renxue] own it.

Again.

As long as the top supports it, the bottom will follow.

Since Emperor Qinghe [Qian Renxue] ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he began to vigorously support the technology of soul guides. The technology of soul guides is changing with each passing day, developing rapidly like a rocket.

The reason why it is possible to distribute basic living allowances to every citizen of the Heaven Dou Empire now.

It also benefited from the development of soul tool technology, which greatly improved the productivity of the Heaven Dou Empire.

In fact, as long as the productivity increases.

At the same time, various taxes are also collected.

As long as those in power think about it, there is absolutely no problem in distributing basic living subsidies. It can not only improve the national happiness, but also prevent many people from starving to death.

Starved to death in an era of extremely powerful soul tool technology?

This is something that Emperor Qinghe [Qian Renxue] is extremely unwilling to see.

Five hours passed.

"Why. Why are women. Why are women always so miserable?"

Zhao Ji grabbed Dong Qing's clothes tightly, punched him in the chest a few times, then hugged his arm and sobbed softly.

"Queen, Box, I'm going back." Dong Qing urged.

"What's the hurry, it's not that I won't give it to you." Zhao Ji sobbed softly.

After a while.

Zhao Ji wiped away her tears and gave Dong Qing a glare. She stood up gracefully, tidied up her appearance, and walked into the depths of Ganquan Palace alone.

Just when Dong Qing thought that she was going to lie to herself again, she came out with an ordinary copper box, and threw it to him with a look of disgust.

"This is a box involving Canglong Qisu. It is said that whoever masters the secret of Canglong Qisu will have the power to control the world. Don't you care?" Dong Qing asked curiously.

"Among the hundreds of schools, only the Yinyang family cares about the secrets of the Canglong Qisu, and also controls the power of the world. If they can really control the world, the Zhou royal family will not be destroyed by Qin's iron cavalry." Zhao Ji curled her lips.

She didn't care at all about this box belonging to the Zhou royal family and the core of Canglong Qisu, and she didn't care about the secret behind Canglong Qisu.

the reason is simple.

rumored.

Seven stars, seven countries, seven secrets.

The box containing the secrets of Canglong Qisu has been held by the sole heir of each country in all dynasties. It is said that whoever masters the secret hidden by Canglong Qisu will have the power to control the world.

The issue is.

Everyone knows the legend of Canglong Qisu. Hundreds of years later, when the royal family of Zhou who created the secret of Canglong Qisu was completely destroyed under the iron cavalry of Qin State, those in power in the seven kingdoms took the hidden secret of Canglong Qisu as their own. fart.

"It makes sense, but why did the Yinyang family pursue the secret of Canglong Qisu, and even sent Concubine Dongjun Yan and Moon God to join Qin State, just to use the power of Qin State to find out the secret behind Canglong Qisu." Dong Qing bowed his head. pondered.

"Don't think about it, just take this wooden box back and deal with that tigress of yours." Like a little girl, Zhao Ji drove Dong Qing out of Ganquan Palace with her mouth pouting.

People in the later generations said that she was a dissolute person who couldn't walk when she saw a majestic and strong man.

Actually.

She is just a normal woman with self-respect and self-love. Apart from Qin Wangzheng's biological father Qin Zhuangxiang Wang Zhao Zichu, there is no other man in this life.

She used to be a dancer in Lu Buwei's mansion. She performed dances at banquets to cheer her up. Later, she was spotted by Qin Zhuangxiang Wang Zhao Zichu, and Lu Buwei sent her out.

If it's just like this, it's a common thing. It's just an extremely inconspicuous little thing for the rich and powerful to give each other dancing girls' concubines.

But the problem is.

Later, Zhao Zi, King Zhuangxiang of Qin Dynasty, was married to Chu Mingmei, and he directly married Zhao Ji as his wife and became his wife. This is not an ordinary thing.

Although he was Zhao Guo's proton at the beginning, he was also a son of the royal family. It was impossible for him to marry an unclean woman and make him his wife.

It can be seen from this that Qin Wangzheng's blood is not pure, and he may even be Lu Buwei's son, which is purely malicious rumors behind someone's back.

As for the things about Zhao Ji and her male favorite Lao Ai in later generations.

Speak the truth.

She didn't regard Lai Ai as a male favorite at all. There is no such thing as a stupid woman who gave birth to a male favorite. The real daughter of the rich and powerful, the male favorite is just for fun. , look for it again.

If it weren't for being the Queen Mother of Qin, she and Lao Ai would actually be a normal couple.

In this era, there is no idea that a woman must be a widow for a man all her life.

nowadays.

Although Zhao Ji took the initiative to get close to Dongqing driven by the spring heart, she did not show any hunger and thirst. What she needs is sincere affection, not the pursuit of desire.

Desires can be given to anyone.

Feelings cannot be forced.

But Zhao Ji has nothing to feel wronged. Qin Wangzheng unified the six countries, the cars were on the same track, and weights and measures were hailed by later generations as an emperor through the ages, and he was still labeled as a tyrant on his head.

to be honest,

Qin Wangzheng really wants a tyrant, the six royal families are already dead, and what will happen to them in the future.

It is estimated that there is nothing to blacken, so I can only barely put on the hat of a tyrant.

Hall of Five Elements.

"This is the box held by the royal family of Zhou, the most important box among the Canglong Qisu."

A tall figure with a black mask on his head, a golden pendant on his shoulders, and his whole body shrouded in a large black robe stretched out a jade-white hand to pick up the copper box on the table.

This person is Donghuang Taiyi, whose age and gender are unknown.

certainly.

Because of Concubine Dongjunyan, Dongqing knew that Donghuang Taiyi who covered up her appearance, figure, and even changed her voice was actually a woman.

Regarding her behavior of hiding her gender and appearance, Dong Qing expressed that she could understand it. After all, it is really not that easy for a woman to be in power, let alone in the Yin Yang family.

The Yinyang family is a highly hierarchical and extremely strict place. The Eastern Emperor Taiyi of all dynasties was male, but this time there was an accident, a woman sat in the high position.

This is unforgivable and incomprehensible.

However, apart from Concubine Dongjunyan and Moon God, no third person knew the true gender of the contemporary Donghuang Taiyi of the Yinyang family.

Of course, she still needs black clothes and robes to hide her appearance and figure, and she also needs to pay attention to her voice.

"Husband, you are awesome! You managed to get the box from the Queen Mother without any effort."

Concubine Dongjunyan pressed her body close to Dongqing's body, completely ignoring Donghuang Taiyi's intentions, and didn't care about the head of the Yinyang family at all.

"Fei Yan, I just got this box from her after I dried up my saliva from telling stories. How can I say it was effortless?" Dong Qing retorted.

"Telling a story, how difficult it is, by the way, what kind of story are you telling?" Concubine Dongjun Yan asked curiously.

"I didn't say anything, it's just a story passed down by some novelists." Dong Qing said casually.

Unfortunately.

Dongqing's perfunctory words were useless, Concubine Dongjun Yan immediately recognized that this story must be unusual, even the Donghuang Taiyi who was at the side became curious about this story.

"Xiang Jun, can you briefly tell me this story?" Donghuang Taiyi's voice was very cold, with no male or female, as if it was a voice synthesized by a modern computer.

As she said.

Dong Qing is now the Lord Xiang of the Yin Yang family, one of the five elders of the Yin Yang family.

Dongqing joined at the beginning.

Donghuang Taiyi's first reaction was to not believe it, but after she personally confirmed it from Dongqing, the woman almost jumped up unhappy.

Let's just say it.

Regardless of the superficial scenery of the Yinyang family, in fact, after leaving the Qin Kingdom, they were placed in the Seven Kingdoms.

no way.

The Yin-Yang school is just a side branch split from Taoism, and has always been looked down upon by other schools of thought.

But now Dongqing, a sage-level person, has joined.

The realm of the Yin-Yang family has directly soared several levels.

This is like Confucius of Confucianism, Laozi of Taoism, Mozi of Mohistism, and Dong Qing joining the Yin-Yang School, so that the Yin-Yang School that split from Taoism has a backbone.

In the past, disciples of the Yin-Yang School met disciples of other schools of thought.

What sages and sages do you have in your Yin-Yang family?

I.

Now the disciples of the Yin-Yang family meet the disciples of other schools of thought.

What sages and sages do you have in your Yin-Yang family?

Dongzi's political, military, economic, social, and every core idea can establish a theory. Do you have the feeling that there are no sages in our yin and yang family?

Of course.

It is not true that the Yin-Yang school has no theory. The representative figure is Zou Yan, a native of Qi in the Warring States period.

The theory of yin and yang believes that yin and yang are the positive and negative opposing and transforming forces of things themselves, which can be used to explain the laws of the development and change of things.

It is believed that all things are composed of five elements: wood, fire, earth, gold, and water, and have the law of mutual generation and mutual restraint, which can be used to explain the origin and change of all things in the universe.

The issue is.

Yin Yang and Five Elements have already been expounded by the Taoist sage Lao Tzu, and earlier ones can even be traced back to the gossip of the Emperor Fuxi and Ji Chang who created the Book of Changes.

Therefore, the definition of Yin-Yang School is very embarrassing. It is nothing more than summarizing the Yin-Yang theory of the sages, but it does not come up with anything very groundbreaking in essence.

But with the arrival of Dongqing, the four core ideas he established, the Yinyang family straightened their backs, and they had the confidence to go out to meet other disciples of hundreds of schools.

"Quickly tell me, it's definitely not an easy story to make the Queen Mother of Qin happy and give away the box passed down by the royal family of Zhou." Concubine Dongjunyan stared closely at Dongqing's pupils.

"She's not interested in the secrets of Canglong Qisu" Dong Qing really didn't want to tell any more stories.

"Mr. Xiang, no matter how uninterested, ordinary people should not even think about getting this box from her. The secrets of Canglong Qisu are worthless, and they are not something ordinary people can spy on." Donghuang Taiyi said flatly.

"It's not that I don't know how difficult the Queen Mother of Qin is. Husband, if you don't tell the truth, I can only think that you have an abnormal relationship with her in private." Concubine Dongjunyan narrowed her eyes.

"you."

Dong Qing scratched his hair, he really wanted to explode in place.

But he quickly controlled his irritability.

It's a big deal to review this annoying Dream of Red Mansions again.

"Don't quarrel, I'm telling you, the first time, Zhen Shiyin dreamed and psychic, and Jia Yucun was a lady."

"It is said that when Wa Huang's smelting stones to mend the sky, he practiced on the Wuji Cliff in the Dahuang Mountains to a height of 12 feet, and a side diameter of 24 feet. Thirty-six thousand five hundred and one stones."

"The Emperor Wa only used 36,500 yuan, and only one piece was left unused, so he discarded it under the Qinggeng Peak of this mountain. Who knows that this stone has become spiritually enlightened after it has been refined. Shi Ju has the ability to mend the sky, but I am the only one who has no talent and cannot be selected, so I blame myself and lament day and night ashamed."

That's it.

Concubine Dongjunyan interrupted Dongqing and asked, "Is this a fairy tale?"

"It counts!"

The corners of Dongqing's mouth twitched slightly, saying it's okay to say it's a fairy tale, it's okay to say it's a romance story, it's okay to say it's a complicated life story.

"It doesn't matter what it's called, if it's true, it's true if it's not." Concubine Dongjun Yan asked.

"Yes and no, no and yes, do you think so?" Dong Qing shook his head and said.

"Dongjun, don't interrupt if you have nothing to do, let him continue." Donghuang Taiyi said.

Half a day passed.

"Why are women always so miserable?" Donghuang Taiyi and Concubine Dongjun Yan looked at Dongqing viciously.

"I" Dongqing didn't want to talk anymore. (end of this chapter)
