Chapter 218: Prince Fengming
Shi Liu stared at Phoenix Mountain, lost in thought, a wave of sadness welling up in her heart. "I want to travel back to the Qin Dynasty, the era of Qin Shi Huang, to change the regrets of the Qin Dynasty. I don't know how you feel, but every time I read Qin history, I feel depressed, and deep down, I'm always filled with regret."
Zhou Pan sighed in his heart: "That was the first emperor of all time, Qin Shi Huang. Who wouldn't sigh——"
Ying Zheng boasted that he "combined the virtues of the Three Sovereigns and the achievements of the Five Emperors". He used the "Huang" from the Three Sovereigns and the "Di" from the Five Emperors to form the title of "Emperor" and was called "the First Emperor".
Although this move was meant to be self-aggrandizing, later generations would agree with it when evaluating Qin Shi Huang. The phrase "sweeping across the land, annexing the vast expanse, and bringing all the mountains and rivers beneath his feet" requires no explanation; it's taken literally, and only Qin Shi Huang could be described as so arrogant.
The once prosperous Qing Dynasty also makes people feel regretful. Perhaps because of the arrival of a new era, Zhou Pan no longer feels regretful. As the saying goes, there is no construction without destruction, the end of the Qing Dynasty is inevitable.
However, the Qin Dynasty established by Qin Shi Huang perished in the second generation. In just three years, a powerful Qin Dynasty came to an end. How could one not feel sad about such a hasty ending?
Thinking of the First Emperor, who was a hero in his lifetime but whose corpse was covered with salted fish by his unfilial son after his death, Shi Liu felt more and more upset and simply went straight into the teaching space.
"Prince Fengming, I'm not feeling very comfortable. In your opinion, what kind of dynasty is the Great Qin Dynasty? Was the First Emperor a good emperor?"
Prince Fengming looked at the confusion in Shi Liu's eyes, but didn't think it was a big deal. As the only officially canonized prince of the Tianfeng Dynasty, his feelings for the Tianfeng Dynasty were even deeper.
Although he had many disagreements with Emperor Feng Zheng, who even wanted him to have no descendants, he was still unwilling to see the Tianfeng Dynasty destroyed.
When Fengming first learned about the demise of the dynasty, he was completely bewildered and even couldn't get out of this state of confusion for a long time. If he hadn't been trapped by the money tree, he really didn't know what he would have done.
"Qin Shi Huang unified the world and extended his power to the four corners of the world. He redefined the meaning of wise rulers and tyrants—the world was his chessboard, and he manipulated it with one hand."
"The historical records of Qin Shi Huang implementing harsh laws, burning books and burying scholars alive, indulging in extravagance, engaging in massive construction projects, attempting to achieve immortality, and imposing excessive corvee labor are all true. In him, you can see the epitome of a feudal ruler."
"Ying Zheng was born to be an emperor. He is the representative of imperial power and is full of ambition. He cannot see the hardships of the people. I used to be just like him, fond of luxury and unable to see the people behind these things. Perhaps I should be grateful to Bai Luopo. If he hadn't trapped me in poverty here, I might never have seen these things in my life. That's good—"
Shi Liu sighed and said, "It would be great if Qin Shi Huang could go to the 22nd century to take a look." With his great talent and strategy, he would surely gain a lot.
Hearing Shi Liu mention the 22nd century, Prince Feng Ming asked curiously, "How are people living in the 22nd century?"
In the Peach Blossom Spring, "paths and roads intersect, the chickens and dogs can be heard. Men and women come and go, working in the fields, dressed like outsiders. The old and the young, all live happily and contentedly." While the 22nd century may not be a truly harmonious society, "the elderly have access to care, the sick have access to medical care, the place to live has its own place, the roads to travel have its own way, and people can feed themselves, be self-sufficient, and enjoy their own happiness" is not a problem.
Prince Fengming, once the crown prince, had a flicker of yearning in his eyes. He too wanted to witness that peaceful and prosperous era. His obsession had become a demon. The Tianfeng Dynasty had long since perished. His Feng family, thanks to Emperor Fengzheng, had become extinct. Perhaps he should let go of some things.
Shi Liu looked at the two lines of blood and tears flowing from Prince Fengming. Her heart felt as if being clenched by a large hand. She felt extremely uncomfortable and grinned. "Prince Fengming, perhaps you can choose to reincarnate in this world and watch it become more beautiful bit by bit."
"Hahaha--"
As he laughed, Prince Fengming's tears of blood began to flow again: "Yes, I can choose to reincarnate! My obsession has turned me into a demon. I thought I had let go of everything in the past, but now it seems that I was just deceiving myself."
The Crown Princess looked at her husband who exuded a relaxed look, and her heart was relieved. She once again saw the proud young Crown Prince, the young man who had once made her heart beat fast and for whom she had devoted her whole life.
"It's great that Your Highness has figured it out. However, there is one thing I want to ask Your Highness. If there is an afterlife, would Your Highness be willing to marry me? This time, I hope there will be no one else between us. We can truly 'win the heart of one person and never leave each other', and be together for the rest of our lives."
A lifetime, a generation, a pair of people, trying to make each other lose their souls.
Prince Fengming never thought that his virtuous and generous princess consort would actually have a romantic relationship.
He is the crown prince, and there are countless beauties in his harem. He is busy with endless government affairs every day. After returning to the East Palace, what he wants to do most is to rest and relax. He likes the charming and lively concubine more than the respectful crown princess. This is not love.
As the crown prince, he had never been attracted to any woman, but at this moment, looking at the beautiful Crown Princess, Prince Fengming's heart was moved.
After a while, just when the Crown Princess was about to feel relieved, Crown Prince Fengming raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Okay!" This time we will be an ordinary couple.
Seeing that the prince and his wife decided to enter the reincarnation cycle, Shi Liu was happy: "When do you plan to reincarnate? I will prepare incense and offerings for you."
Prince Fengming looked at Shi Liu's beaming face and felt a little upset: "I didn't do anything, why do you dislike me so much?"
Shi Liu shook her head repeatedly: "How is that possible? I really like His Highness Feng Ming."
Alas, I don’t know if it’s because all the people in the royal family are the most vicious, but Prince Fengming is the most vicious and she can never resist him.
She remembered that a certain pig-hoof emperor of the Qing Dynasty scolded his eldest son to death. She found it incredible at first that how a prince could have such poor psychological endurance. However, after being taught by Prince Fengming, she suddenly realized that perhaps her own psychological endurance needed to be improved.
To be honest, as the heir, Prince Fengming was trained with the whole country's strength. Although many of his ideas were out of date, his knowledge was absolutely profound.
Under the training of Prince Fengming, Shi Liu's painting skills have improved rapidly and have now reached level 3. It is only a matter of time before she is upgraded to level 4, so the couple can leave at any time.
Prince Fengming listened to Shi Liu's flattery, which was so fake that it couldn't be more fake, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He felt powerless to complain in his heart. As a prince, other people were respectful to him and few dared to act rogue with him. Although this feeling was very novel, he really couldn't accept this kind of rogue behavior.
Fortunately, Shi Liu didn't know what Prince Fengming was thinking, otherwise he would have scolded him. In Shi Liu's eyes, the most shameless people were the royal family. There were many shameless emperors in history. Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, was the standard scoundrel, as unrefined as he could be.
Prince Fengming was too lazy to pay attention to Shi Liu's rogue behavior and disappeared with the Crown Princess. Before leaving, he told her to practice painting well and gave her a set of paintbrushes.
After sending off the two stubborn masters, Shi Liu jumped for joy. Suddenly, her left eye began to twitch wildly. Oh no! She suddenly had a strange intuition that her fate with Prince Fengming would not end just like that...
