Chapter 23 What do you want?
"Does your mother know medicine?" Ying Zheng asked Ziying in a low voice.
Ziying's face showed pride. "The Great Mother Society has a lot of things! Just medical skills, what's that?"
Ying Zheng remembered the paper he had seen in the Xianyang Palace.
Could it be that the thing that occupied his mother's body was a thousand-year-old monster that had acquired a variety of abilities?
Ying Zheng became interested. He wanted to know how much of a surprise this person could bring him! He was indeed a tyrant, but he also had a heart that loved talent. If this person was truly capable, it wouldn't be a problem for him to spare her life.
Even if they are gods, demons or monsters, as long as they can be used by him, what's the harm?
"What are you looking at? My great mother is mine!" Ziying slapped Ying Zheng's arm in dissatisfaction.
Ying Zheng had no patience at all and let the man go.
Oh, you ungrateful kid.
He pinched the child's face and threatened, "Do you think that just because you call her Grandmother, she is really your Grandmother?"
Not to mention the woman's unknown identity, even if the real Queen Mother Zhao was here, Ziying should not call her "Grand Mother", but should respectfully address her as "Queen Mother" like other ministers.
Ziying's face flushed with anger, and he hit Ying Zheng on the head, "You're talking nonsense! She is my great mother, she is my great mother, you big bad guy."
Ying Zheng pressed his head with one hand, fixing him in place. The little guy had short arms and legs, so he couldn't fight back and started howling at the top of his lungs.
Ying Zheng suddenly felt a chill on his back. Before he could react, he was slapped on the back of his head, and he was completely dazed.
Zhao Yuanxi snatched the child from his hands and said angrily, "I asked you to take care of the child, how could you bully him?"
Ziying threw himself into his grandmother's arms, tears streaming down his face. "Mother, he's so bad!"
Zhao Yuanxi asked him what was going on?
Ziying refused to answer.
He actually felt that the bad guy was right, but he didn't want to admit this fact. If the Great Mother was not his Great Mother, then he could not stay with her.
Thinking of this, Ziying cried even harder.
Seeing this, Zhao Yuanxi could only turn around and ask Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng folded his arms, staring at Ziying with cold eyes, and sneered, "I'm just telling the truth! Ziying shouldn't have called you Grandmother, the Queen Mother of Qin—"
Zhao Yuanxi rolled her eyes at him. "Why would someone this grown up bother arguing with a child? Ziying can call me whatever he wants. I'm his legitimate grandmother, so he should call me his great-grandmother. As for the status of the Queen Mother, who would recognize me as the Queen Mother outside of Yongcheng?"
If there had been no precedent for abolishing a queen dowager, Zhao Yuanxi felt that Zhao Ji's position as queen dowager would have been lost long ago.
She herself doesn't care about her identity as the empress dowager, so how could she care about what others call her?
"We can't ignore the distinction between superiors and inferiors." Ying Zheng said firmly.
"Since you want to distinguish between superiors and inferiors, fine! You kowtow to me first, and then talk to me about matters of superiority and inferiority!" Zhao Yuanxi was impatient. Was it her turn for an outsider to criticize her child?
Ying Zheng was annoyed. Since he became the King of Qin, he had never been contradicted like this before, and murderous intent gradually arose in his heart.
Zhao Yuanxi keenly felt the change in his aura, and his heart skipped a beat.
No way! No way! Are you so anxious now? He's young, but he has a very bad temper!
She coughed lightly and said in a friendly and gentle voice, "Respect and inferiority are things that outsiders should pay attention to. Why should we be so clear about family divisions? If you want, you can call me aunt! I prefer Zheng'er to call me mother!"
Hearing that this person still wanted to be his mother, Ying Zheng laughed angrily.
Forget it, why is he talking about moral principles and ethics to a monster?
He snorted and turned his head away.
Zhao Yuanxi couldn't help but laugh when he saw him acting like a pufferfish. Although he had a bad temper, it was easy to coax him.
"Okay, don't be angry! Come here, I have another favor to ask of you!" Zhao Yuanxi waved at him, "Since Zheng'er sent you to see me, he must trust you very much. Here are a few prescriptions for you to take back to him. You should have heard the effects of these medicines clearly. I don't need to explain how to use them again, right?"
Science and technology must be applied to real life to fully realize their value.
The place that most needs this life-saving method is, of course, the military.
"With these, the soldiers of my Great Qin can live longer." Zhao Yuanxi smiled sincerely.
Ying Zheng's lips, which had been pursed, relaxed. He looked at Zhao Yuanxi with a complicated expression and asked, "What do you want the king to give you?"
Ying Zheng felt that this method, which could save countless soldiers, could meet some of her requirements.
Of course, besides being his mother!
Zhao Yuanxi touched Ziying's tearful face and wiped away his tears. "Your Majesty, you can't give me what I want."
"Is there anything in this world that the king cannot give you?" Ying Zheng frowned.
"There are so many things he can't do!" Zhao Yuanxi chuckled. "Forget it, if you really want to give me something, just ask him to send me more people!"
"Is that enough?"
Ying Zheng was dissatisfied with her underestimation of him. He knew that all six countries would be in his pocket, and he would be able to give her whatever she wanted sooner or later.
Zhao Yuanxi actually wanted to ask for more, but she was not a real hero after all. It was Doctor Yu's job to ask for a reward. If she went too far, Doctor Yu would be in trouble.
"These are enough for me. The one who really needs to be rewarded is Yu Jiao. Moreover, although the medicine is good, the treatment method is equally important. Doctor Yu is willing to accompany the army and pass on this method of treating external injuries to the military doctors."
Ying Zheng couldn't quite understand this person. If he wasn't seeking reward for himself, why was he doing all this?
Apart from having people sell paper to nobles, Ying Zheng was surprised to find that everything she did seemed not to be for herself.
It is obvious that even if she does nothing, she can live a rich and comfortable life in Yongcheng with her status as the queen mother.
What is her purpose?
Ying Zheng asked directly if he wanted to ask.
Zhao Yuanxi blinked. "My purpose? Do you really want to know?"
Ying Zheng nodded.
"Of course, to ensure that everyone in the world has enough food and clothing and lives a stable life!"
......
......
There was silence all around. Zhao Yuanxi also felt that this was a bit unrealistic. He coughed lightly and said, "Don't look at me like that. It's embarrassing. Can't people have some dreams?"
"The Empress Dowager is kind and benevolent, which is a blessing for all the people." Yu Jiao was the first to react and shouted loudly.
He originally thought that curing illnesses and saving lives was a great deed and that he would become famous, but compared with the Empress Dowager, his ideals were too narrow.
Ying Zheng frowned even deeper. As the monarch of Qin, he naturally cherished his people, but that was to maintain the rule of Qin. Without the people, who would farm for him? Without soldiers, who would fight for him?
But now someone is standing in front of him, saying that he has no other purpose but just wants everyone in the world to live a good life.
Ying Zheng was puzzled. Are there really such people in this world?
