"Your Majesty, that's not what that sentence said, and that's not what it meant. What's even more outrageous is that you even got the order wrong. Only women and villains are difficult to raise. If you are close, you will not have grandchildren, and if you are far away, you will resent.

, you are not the Queen Mother who is just a villain and a woman who is difficult to raise." Dong Qing complained.

This dialogue from the Analects has been misunderstood by many people. Confucius was talking about women, not women, but there are always women who use this sentence themselves.

"This is what Confucius said. If this is not what it means, what else could it mean?" Zhao Ji said unhappy.

These words were like thunder on the spot, and Dong Qing took a deep breath.

"Queen Mother, women refer to people who are arrogant and arrogant. It is difficult for such people to cultivate their own righteousness and maintain their body, mind, nature and life. Therefore, when dealing with them, they must be measured at a distance. If they are too close, they will be rude and spoiled.

If the rules are too far away, it will easily lead to resentment."

"You are the only one who is smart. I am a villain. I am arrogant because of my favor. You will never get the box." Zhao Ji was very unhappy, but her expression suggested that you should come and coax me.

"Queen Mother, you might as well just tell me what you want me to do." Dong Qing looked up to the sky and sighed.

After seeing the pitiful look on the helpless face of the man in front of her, Zhao Ji had a smile on her lips, but she quickly covered it up.

"After telling the story last time, 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 your promise."

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

"Ahem, Queen Mother, please don't get so close to me. It's inconvenient. Last time I talked about Chapter 97, when Lin Daiyu burned her manuscripts and ended her infatuation, and when Xue Baochai came out as a bride, let's continue from here."

Dong Qing coughed a few times in embarrassment, gently pushed Zhao Ji away, looked at the transparent screen that outsiders couldn't see, and began to talk about the Dream of Red Mansions seriously.

This transparent screen was released by a special soul guide and hung around Dongqing's waist. To outsiders, it was just an inconspicuous white warm jade pendant.

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

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 guidance device research department. It is still early for civilian use. Each one is worth hundreds of millions of gold soul coins. Currently, only Dong Qing and Qinghe Emperor [Qian Renxue] have it.

Again.

As long as the top supports it, the bottom should follow suit.

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

The reason why it is now possible to provide basic living allowances to every citizen of the Tiandou Empire.

It was also due to the development of soul guide technology that the productivity of the Tiandou Empire was greatly improved.

In fact, as long as productivity increases.

At the same time, various taxes can also be collected.

As long as those in power want to, there is absolutely no problem in granting basic living subsidies. It will not only improve national happiness, but also prevent many people from starving to death.

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

This is something that Emperor Qinghe [Qian Renxue] does not want to see.

.......

Five hours passed.

"Why...why 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 Mother, Box, I'm going back." Dong Qing urged.

"What's the rush? It's not like I won't give it to you." Zhao Ji sobbed softly.

After a while.

Zhao Ji wiped away her tears and glared at Dong Qing. She stood up gracefully, straightened her appearance, and walked into the depths of Ganquan Palace alone.

Just when Dong Qing thought she was going to lie to him again, she walked 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 at all?" Dong Qing asked curiously.

"Among the hundreds of schools of thought, only the Yin and Yang family cares about the secret of Canglong Qisu and controls the power of the world. If it can really control the world, the Zhou royal family will not be destroyed by Qin's cavalry." Zhao Ji curled her lips.

She didn't care at all about this box, which belonged to the Zhou royal family and was the core of Canglong Qisu, nor did she care about the secrets behind Canglong Qisu.

the reason is simple.

In rumors.

Seven stars, seven countries, seven secrets,

The box containing the secrets of Canglong Qisu has been controlled by the sole heir of each country throughout the dynasties. Legend has it that whoever masters the secrets hidden by Canglong Qisu will have the power to control the world.

The issue is.

This legend of Canglong Qisu is known to everyone. Hundreds of years later, when the Zhou royal family who created the secret of Canglong Qisu was completely destroyed by the Qin cavalry, the people in power in the seven countries regarded the secret hidden by Canglong Qisu as...

fart.

"It makes sense, but why is the Yin Yang family pursuing the secret of Canglong Qisu, and even sent Concubine Dongjun Yan and Yueshen to join the Qin State, just to use the power of Qin to find out the secret behind Canglong Qisu." Dong Qing lowered his head.

Thinking.

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

People in later generations said that she was a dissolute person who could not 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 Zhaoxiang Wang Zhao Zichu, there is no other man in her life.

She was once a dancer at Lu Buwei's mansion, and she performed dances at banquets to entertain her. Later, she was spotted by Zhao Zichu, the king of Qin Zhaoxiang, and Lu Buwei sent her away.

If it were just like this, it would be a common thing. Giving each other dancing girls as concubines among the powerful would be nothing more than an extremely inconspicuous thing.

But the problem is.

Later, the king of Qin Zhaoxiang, Zhao Zichu, married the matchmaker, and directly married Zhao Ji as his wife and made her his wife. This was not an ordinary thing.

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

It can be seen from this that the rumor that Qin Wangzheng has impure blood and may even be Lu Buwei's son is purely maliciously spread by someone behind the scenes.

As for the later events about Zhao Ji’s own male doting on Lao Ai.

Speak the truth.

She didn't regard Lao Ai as a male favorite at all. How could there be a stupid woman to give birth to a child for a male favorite? She was a real powerful woman, and the male favorite was just for fun. It was impossible to have real feelings. She accidentally ruined it.

, just look for it again.

If she were not the Queen Mother of Qin, she and Lao Ai would actually be a normal couple.

In this era, there is no thought that a woman must remain a widow for the rest of her life for a man.

nowadays.

Although Zhao Ji took the initiative to get close to Dong Qing, driven by her budding love, she did not show any hunger or thirst. What she needed was sincere feelings, not the pursuit of desire.

Desire can be given by anyone.

Feelings cannot be forced.

However, Zhao Ji has nothing to feel wronged about. The Qin Dynasty unified the six countries, used chariots on the same track, and used weights and measures. He was praised by later generations as the one emperor through the ages, and he was not still labeled as a tyrant.

to be honest,

If the King of Qin really wanted to be a tyrant, the royal families of the six kings would have died long ago. What else will happen to them later?

I guess there's nothing to be ashamed of, so I can just barely bear the label of a tyrant.

.......

Five Elements Hall.

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

A tall figure, wearing a black mask on his head, golden pendants on his shoulders, and his whole body shrouded in a wide black robe, stretched out his jade-white hands and picked up the copper box on the table.

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

certainly.

Because of Concubine Dongjun Yan, Dongqing knew that Donghuang Taiyi, who concealed his appearance, body shape, and even changed his voice, was actually a woman.

Regarding her behavior of hiding her gender and appearance, Dongqing said that it was understandable. After all, it is not that easy for a woman to be in power, let alone in the Yin and Yang family.

The Yin Yang family is a hierarchical and extremely strict place. All the emperors in the past were male, but this time something unexpected happened and a woman took a high position.

This is inexcusable and incomprehensible.

However, except for Concubine Dongjun Yan and Yueshen, no third person knows the true gender of the contemporary Donghuang Taiyi of the Yin-Yang family.

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

"Husband, you are awesome! You actually got the box from the Queen Mother without any effort."
