Green mountains and pines and cypresses.
Ying Quliang pondered carefully, "What a beautiful example of green mountains, pines and cypresses! It's true that although people in later generations are sometimes unreliable, they can actually keep their word and keep their promises in some matters."
Shang Yang was also very satisfied.
[The only princess guarding the country: Why is this? ]
Princess Taiping also liked this title.
She turned her head and looked at Shangguan Wan'er, "Wan'er, if we had a nickname, what would it be?"
Shangguan Wan'er shook her head. "I don't know, but I think it should be beautiful."
Wu Zhao glanced at the two of them and said jokingly, "I think you can be called a hedgehog fox."
Taiping stamped his feet angrily, "Mother Queen, you are bullying your son again!"
Zhou Jia smiled a bit perversely, "Because in the Great Qin Empire, this emperor and his minister said this: 'You are like the green mountains, I am like the pine and cypress. We share the same heart and mind, and will always be soulmates.' From then on, green mountains, pine and cypress became synonymous with Ying Quliang and Shang Yang."
I see.
Ying Quliang was very happy and said with a smile: "It seems that our descendants still like us very much."
Shang Yang was also happy and wanted to see how wonderful the Qin Empire that Zhou Jia talked about was.
In the world after Shangguan Wan'er's death, Princess Taiping couldn't help but murmur, "For thousands of years, the pepper flowers will sing."
I wonder if future generations will see this sentence?
"Back to the topic, after the first reform, the Qin State began to grow stronger. In 358 BC, the Qin State defeated the Han State. The following year, the Qin State and the Chu State formed a marriage alliance.
After this, the relationship between Qin and Chu can be said to be harmonious yet tense. There were many Chu women in the harem of the Qin king. The more well-known ones were Queen Dowager Xuan and the later Queen Dowager Huayang.
Also, since the Records of the Grand Historian doesn't mention Prince Fusu's mother, many people speculate that she might also be from Chu. Later Qin rulers often had Chu blood in them, and Chu girls who married into the Qin state almost always became queens. Tsk, the interests and blood ties between Qin and Chu are truly deep."
Mi Bazi felt a little sleepy and yawned. "It seems that many people have followed in my footsteps."
This sounded a bit derogatory. Ying Si glared at her and asked, "Why, do you think marrying me is unfair to you?"
"A little bit. It's boring to stay in the hall all day." God knows she used to love sneaking out to play.
Ying Si snorted coldly, didn't bother with her, and turned to look for Zhang Yi.
Ying Zheng felt a little helpless. He really didn't understand why later generations were so interested in the two of them.
His gaze turned to his son below.
Just because he had a gentle temperament, he died early?
Ying Zheng fell into deep thought.
Fusu didn't expect that there was something about his mother here, and he couldn't understand why someone would care about who his mother was.
"Well, actually...it's mainly because Brother Zheng is quite famous. Everyone is curious about whether Brother Zheng has any women he likes. Speaking of Brother Zheng, his harem isn't very popular. Plus, Fusu had a gentle personality and died early, so everyone is curious."
Someone asked this question in the comments.
Zhou Jia answered with a helpless smile.
Gossip!
The people of all dynasties thought of this word at the same time.
Ying Zheng: Why is it always my fault? Can't you descendants think more about others?
"Well, a more significant event later was a meeting between Ying Quliang and King Hui of Wei in 355 BC in Duping, east of Chengcheng County, Shaanxi Province. This changed the long-held impression that the Qin State did not meet with other vassal states.
Everything is moving in a good direction, but as the saying goes, when there are no problems, it means that problems are on the way, right, Si Ge~"
The young Ying Si received two gazes at the same time: from his father and Shang Yang.
"I know my mistake."
Zhou Jia had briefly mentioned before that Ying Si broke the law knowingly after the new law was implemented, causing his teacher to be punished.
King Ying Si of Qin was not afraid because he had no one above him, but his expression was not very good either.
Who taught her to yell "Si Ge"? When will you descendants be more reliable?
Yingji and others: I don’t understand, I don’t understand…
Li Shimin sighed, "Every family has its own problems."
"Simply put, while the entire Qin state was following the example, Crown Prince Ying Si, the most exemplary prince in the royal family, broke the law. "Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Shang Yang" records: "After the decree had been in effect for a year, thousands of people in the capital of Qin complained that the initial decree was inconvenient. Then the crown prince broke the law. Wei Yang said, 'If the law is not enforced, it's the fault of the higher authorities.' He was about to punish the crown prince. As the crown prince was the heir to the throne, he could not be punished. Instead, his tutor, Gongzi Qian, was punished, and his teacher, Gongsun Jia, was tattooed."
After the crown prince broke the law, Shang Jun believed that the law could not be implemented because the upper class did not obey the law. The crown prince should be punished, but because he was the heir, he could not be punished, so he punished his two teachers instead.
Zhou Jia said with a hint of sarcasm, "So, the so-called "the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people" is a lie. Even if the princes and nobles really broke the law, as long as your status is noble enough, in the end, they will not bear the bitter consequences. Instead, others will bear the consequences. Simply put, this statement is bullshit."
Very realistic words.
The princes and nobles sneered at them. With their noble status, how could they be compared with those grassroots peasants?
The people of all dynasties are numb.
There is no resentment or hatred. It's just that they were born into a bad family.
Some nitpickers started to stir up trouble, saying, "The crown prince's status is the most precious. If his face is injured, it will bring shame to the country."
Furthermore, how can the people trust a monarch who has a stain on his character?
