Chapter 40 Daqin Angel [Jinjiang genuine exclusive release · Education] ...
[It's because Chunyu Yue is so old now that he doesn't dare to walk around in public wearing only a diaper like you, right?!]
If my grandson really did this openly, I think people who saw him would only praise him: [Oh! He is so well raised. He is such a cute, fair and tender big fat boy!]
If a gray-haired old man followed suit and acted so openly, I'm afraid anyone who saw him would want to poke their eyes out and curse, "You coward! You have no shame! You're such a disgusting, disgusting old bastard!"
The First Emperor, whose eyes went dark and his heart was pounding due to his grandson's "brilliant ideas" and his own "excellent associations", subconsciously turned his head and looked at Chunyu Yue with pity and disgust.
In this era where scholars can be killed but not humiliated, although His Majesty the Emperor is very annoyed by these Confucian officials who always advise him to practice ancient methods, and even wants to chop off a few sour Confucian officials, he is also deeply convinced of one thing - if he really listens to Ying and issues this "decree to wear diapers if he doesn't do anything" to the Confucian officials, let alone waiting for the paper produced by the Shaofu to be used for painting, I am afraid that all the Confucian officials in the court will draw their swords and commit suicide in front of him.
After being looked at by His Majesty with strange eyes twice in a row, Chunyu Yue couldn't help but feel that something was wrong. Just as he was about to speak, he saw His Majesty cough lightly, stroke the emperor's eldest grandson's soft belly which made "duang, duang, duang" sounds when touched as if to soothe him, but the words he said were very puzzling.
"Ying, that's a good suggestion, but you only have a limited supply of these diapers. They're truly too precious, so you should keep them for yourself. Grandfather won't allow you to share them with others."
What are some diapers you should share with others?
Upon hearing His Majesty's incoherent words, Cai Ze, Wei Liao, Zhang Han, and Feng Quji could not help but look at Chunyu Yue. Even Li Si and Zhao Gao, who knew about the diapers outside the world, could not help but sigh in their hearts and began to ponder His Majesty's words seriously.
Seeing the strange looks from several colleagues, Chunyu Yue, who already felt awkward, felt even more like he was covered in peach fuzz. He felt that his whole body became itchy under the gazes of his colleagues.
Being able to be the eldest son's teacher, he was certainly not stupid. He guessed that the emperor's eldest grandson must have just said something about him to His Majesty. Although he could not understand baby language, Chunyu Yue still subconsciously retreated and leaned over to the First Emperor with a solemn expression and asked:
"May I ask, Your Majesty, if you have anything to say or anything you would like to convey to me, this old minister?"
The First Emperor, who indeed had something to do and something to say, saw Chunyu Yue's sharpness and swallowed the words back.
After all, my grandson is only eight months old, and I am filled with worry for him. Even if a little one is blessed with love and intelligence, his understanding of the real world is still slightly distorted. That's why I made the mistake of "putting myself in others' shoes" and thinking that if he can "show his face" outside in diapers, it will definitely be easier for someone older than him to do the same!
How could the First Emperor tell others such a shameful truth?
Qin Ying looked up and saw his grandfather's conflicted expression as he was unable to speak, and the old man Chunyu in front of him bumped into him. How could he give up such a good opportunity so easily?
To achieve his goal, the little fellow quickly reached out and tugged at his grandfather's wide black sleeves. When his grandfather looked down at him again, the fat boy, like a villain who was slandering the emperor, waved his two short hands with sparkling eyes and began to babble in a flowery manner:
"Aiya..." (Grandfather! If you don't want to let all the Confucian officials enjoy my high-end diapers, I have a good trick I learned from the black bird that can help you send them to the frontier.)
"Oh," the Emperor became interested when he heard this, and nodded in praise:
"Ying, can you tell me what other methods there are?"
Qin Ying grinned, and tried to lean forward in her grandfather's arms. She used her small hands to gesture on the colored blocks of the Western Regions and Baiyue, and said:
"Yaaaa..." (Father, I'm serious. You could really send Confucian officials like Dr. Chunyu, who are eloquent and knowledgeable, to these neighboring areas. Let them spread the culture of the Qin Dynasty to the Hu and Yue peoples, and use Confucian teachings to teach these unruly Hu and Yue peoples~)
"Ah, oh, ah..." (Every Confucian official sent on a diplomatic mission was given the title of "Angel of Great Qin" by the Grandfather, and a team of envoys was arranged to escort them to these barbarian and small countries. If these Confucian officials could persuade the Hu and Yue peoples to submit to us and trade with us through their persuasion, it would naturally be a great achievement and a great opportunity for these angels to be recorded in history!)
"Aiya..." (If those Hu and Yue people, without any moral principles, actually kill our envoys in a fit of rage! Then, Great Father will avenge the angels of the Great Qin! With a legitimate reason! Send troops to wipe out all those natives who killed our envoys! Paint their entire territory black! These ministers who have served their country so loyally and sacrificed their lives for the Great Qin will also be rewarded with a good opportunity to leave their names in history and have their family trees published separately!)
When Qin Shi Huang heard this good idea that would "leave a name in history" no matter how he looked at it, his narrow and long phoenix eyes lit up instantly and he looked at Chunyu Yue again.
Doctor Chunyu, who was saluted by the emperor for the third time, felt a chill down his spine.
His Majesty had never looked at him with such fiery eyes, as if he were some rare and precious treasure. Something must be fishy when things are out of the ordinary!
What on earth did this little grandson of the Emperor, who looked nothing like his father and had an exceptionally erratic personality, say to His Majesty in his muffled, babyish voice?!
Li Si was also a little jealous when he saw this. What was going on? Why was the emperor's eldest grandson suddenly so interested in that damn old man Chunyu Yue?!
Even if his grandson didn't say anything about launching an expedition today, after seeing the global map for the first time and knowing the real territory occupied by the Qin Dynasty around the world, the First Emperor was eager to expand his territory. Even if there was no reason for the expedition, he would still want to fight! If there was a reason for the expedition, then he would definitely fight!
Even the First Emperor wished that the natives outside the Great Wall would "lose their moral principles"!
However, after all, it is a job that requires people to risk their lives outside, and it is very hard. I can't be as straightforward as my grandson said, and I have to package it well.
The First Emperor pondered for a moment, then looked at Chunyu Yue and smiled gently:
"Doctor Chunyu, I have a great opportunity for your Confucian school to recruit many disciples and flourish. There's even a great chance that your name will be recorded in history, passed down through the ages, and your family tree will have its own volume opened, allowing future generations to worship you. Doctor Chunyu, would you like to hear about it?"
This was the first time that Chunyu Yue was treated so gently by His Majesty. Even though he felt that "something was strange", his face couldn't help but turn red. However, this time it was not because of anger, but because of excitement.
In today's world, the Legalist school has completely suppressed the Confucian school. As a well-known Confucian scholar of the former Jixia Academy, Chunyu Yue dreamed of making the Confucian school flourish in Daqin. Even though the opportunity mentioned by His Majesty must be difficult to obtain, he still couldn't resist the temptation and hurriedly leaned forward respectfully and said:
"Please speak freely, Your Majesty. I, your humble servant, will listen attentively."
"Good." The First Emperor nodded with a smile.
Li Si, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but widen his eyes, not understanding what His Majesty was trying to do.
Cai Ze, Feng Quji, Wei Liao, and Zhang Han were also puzzled. They looked at His Majesty, then at the eldest grandson in His Majesty's arms, who was staring at Chunyu Yue with a bright smile on his face. They couldn't help but wonder in their hearts: "Could it be that the eldest grandson has been influenced by the eldest son in the palace and has also become more Confucian in his thinking?"
The next moment, they heard some earth-shattering words from His Majesty:
"Previously, Doctor Chunyu had been advising me in the court to follow ancient laws, emulate the Zhou dynasty, abandon prefectures and counties, and implement feudal fiefdoms to ensure the longevity of the Qin Empire. Unfortunately, I never really listened to his advice. Only now, with the help of Ying and the guidance of Xuanniao, have I finally grasped the merits of Doctor Chunyu's words."
It's so hard to hear a word of approval from His Majesty! Chunyu Yue also wants to improve! Upon hearing His Majesty's words that he has finally "returned from his wrong path and awakened to his true colors," he was instantly moved to tears. He quickly leaned over and said, "Your Majesty! You finally understand my heart and appreciate the wonderful use of the ancient method!"
"Your Majesty!" Li Si's face looked a little ugly, and he couldn't help but shout to His Majesty. Unexpectedly, he saw the eldest grandson of the emperor in His Majesty's arms waving his little hand to him and making a gesture of silence. Li Si had to shut up, but his heart was in a knot. He couldn't understand what the grandfather and grandson were talking about.
Seeing Chunyu Yue's excited tears, the First Emperor couldn't help but free up one hand and helped the red-faced Chunyu Yue to his feet. He held his grandson in one hand and held Chunyu Yue's arm with the other. He walked a few steps to the tall and beautiful globe, then released his left hand from holding Chunyu Yue. He used his slender fingers to gently touch the colored blocks of the Western Regions and Baiyue, and said with his phoenix eyes burning with obsession:
"Please look, my lords! The global map that the Black Bird has sent to Great Qin is truly picturesque!"
"Doctor Chunyu, I intend to follow your suggestion and, following the example of the Zhou Emperor, designate the Western Regions to the west of Great Qin, the Baiyue to the south, and the grasslands to the north as the Western Regions Commandery, the Baiyue Commandery, and the Northern Frontier Commandery of Great Qin. I intend to send envoys to these places to seek out the monarchs of the local small states and lobby them to seize the remote territories that belong to me."
"What?" [The territories of the Hu, Yue and Xiongnu were granted as distant counties of the Qin Dynasty] Chunyu Yue suddenly opened his eyes wide with tears in shock when he heard such an outrageous "enfeoffment" from the Emperor's mouth. Li Si, Zhang Han, Feng Quji and others also widened their eyes and fell silent.
However, His Majesty, immersed in his own thoughts, was still gazing intently at the tall globe, and continued:
"These Hu and Yue people, who are far away from the lands of the Seven Heroes, still don't know that they have been canonized as new Qin people by me. Someone needs to go and inform them and educate them."
"Among all the civil and military officials in the court, only those Confucian officials who are well versed in Confucianism are the most knowledgeable about etiquette and education. Therefore, I intend to send these Confucian officials from the court as envoys of the Great Qin. They will be honored with the reputation of angels, leave Xianyang, and travel to these barbaric lands to persuade the local natives, spread the culture of the Great Qin, and win the submission of these remote natives to the Great Qin."
"In this way, the Confucian officials will not only follow the ancient ways and allow me to practice the Zhou Dynasty's feudal system, but will also be able to spread the profound knowledge of Confucianism in a wider and more empty territory, promote the Confucian school, and help the Qin Dynasty expand its territory. This is truly a win-win situation!"
"If any of the Confucian officials on diplomatic missions return to Xianyang with success, like the young Gan Luo did back then, I will grant them the title of High Minister and make their names known through the ages. If the locals are barbaric and unreasonable, and any of the envoys tragically die for their country, I will also send for their bodies to be brought back, and their families to be cared for. I will ensure that their reputation as loyal officials is recorded in history books, and their names will live on through the ages!"
"This is my intention, my thought. What do you think, Doctor Chunyu? Are you willing to serve me as the Great Qin Angel, shouldering the important task of education?"
The First Emperor tilted his head, his eyes fixed on Chunyu Yue like sharp arrows.
Hearing His Majesty's words, "It's called a diplomatic mission, but it's actually an exile," Chunyu Yue's heart skipped a beat. His rosy face turned pale in an instant. He barely managed to escape before his legs trembled and his body collapsed on the wooden floor.
