Chapter 267 Infatuation and Unspeakable Passion...
Chapter 267 Confusion and Unspeakable Feelings...
The role of a physician is not merely to treat illnesses and save lives, or to gain a good reputation.
Ying Jing's greatest skill was using people's hearts and public opinion as a chess piece to orchestrate the world's affairs.
Given the prestige and status of physicians, as long as the matter is resolved, it's not to say that farmers were indeed involved.
Even if you don't have it, you still have to accept it.
then……
After being expelled from the State of Chu, the peasants once again faced numerous condemnations and even wanted notices in the State of Qin.
The physician Master Nian Duan personally intervened, vehemently condemning the peasants for betraying their ancestor Shennong by resorting to such despicable means as poisoning the daughter of Lord Changping.
The Hanoi newspaper was quickly printed, and the disciples of the famous writer also spread the word far and wide.
The novelist felt deeply indebted to Lord Changxin and was even more unwilling to miss this opportunity to make a contribution in front of his benefactor, especially since this matter was exactly in his field.
They didn't directly publicize the poisoning incident, nor did they mention Changping Jun's daughter; instead, they fabricated a thrilling and suspenseful story.
The philanthropist Jing was quite interested in this and even provided them with some classic materials...
Ultimately, the novelist's story details how Changping Jun, in his youth, encountered a chivalrous peasant leader, and the series of love-hate relationships that unfolded between them.
That day, at the Xiling Bridge, fireworks rained down... two lonely souls merged in the cold rain.
That night, the sky was dark and the waning moon hung high... After their one last passionate encounter, two hearts had to part because of their respective missions and identities.
Two months of infatuation, decades of unspeakable events...
Whether the story is true or not doesn't matter, as long as it's wild enough.
Whether they are ordinary people or royalty from various countries, everyone loves to listen to this!
After hearing it so many times, many people will naturally start to believe it.
With the example of Lord Longyang there, there's nothing unbelievable about it.
After all, the peasants must have had a reason for poisoning Changping Jun's daughter.
With Ying Jing adding materials, the novelist ultimately created this story.
Lifelike, detailed, and moving, it makes the listener feel as if they are there, able to feel the struggle of mutual redemption and separation between the two protagonists in the story...
Isn't that the best reason?
Changping Jun betrayed their love by marrying and having children, which is why the peasant chivalrous leader, filled with resentment, brutally attacked Changping Jun's newborn daughter!
But he clearly still cherished old feelings and hoped that Changping Jun would change his mind, unwilling to really become enemies!
Otherwise, why would they have merely poisoned the little girl to make her weak and short of breath instead of killing her?
How could Lord Changping remain unmoved after Master Nianduan's scathing rebuke? It was only after Lord Changxin intervened that the peasants were expelled and wanted in Qin.
Right!
Everything is right!
Once people accept a certain stereotype, their rich imaginations will fill in all the irrationality.
"Hehehe, hahaha..."
Inside the Hanoi palace, Zhao Ji laughed heartily, completely disregarding her image.
"Those novelists you recruited are truly talented... Hehehe..."
"Is Xiong Qi furious?!"
Zhao Ji laughed merrily, her slender body trembling beneath her bright red skirt, her soft, white cleavage swaying with her laughter.
"If Your Majesty continues to laugh like this, your clothes will fall to the ground, which may harm your health..."
Ying Jing reminded him somewhat helplessly.
This woman must have not seen this kind of fun in a long time; she laughed nonstop.
The key point is that this palace is warm in winter and cool in summer, and she was wearing very little; that red gauze dress was meant to make her perfect body appear and disappear.
Each time I laugh, my face droops a little bit, and it's almost impossible to stop it completely.
"What's there to be afraid of? Didn't Jing'er recruit a skilled physician? If I catch a cold, I'll ask Mr. Nian Duan to come and treat me."
I'm talking about harming my body!
Ying Jing was somewhat speechless: "I just caused Mr. Nian Duan a lot of trouble, so it would be best if the Empress Dowager didn't fall ill."
Nian Duan angrily rebuked the peasants. Although it was partly Ying Jing's intention, she herself was indeed somewhat angry about it.
However, as the story told by the novelist unfolded, the commotion grew, and an unspeakable affair was even created between Lord Changping and the peasant chivalrous leader...
Nian Duan was already regretting it, and stayed in the academy all day, not daring to go out at all.
She feared that one day when she went out, she would be stabbed by an angry peasant disciple or an assassin sent by Lord Changping.
This hatred is too great.
Ying Jing hasn't been to the academy for quite some time now.
Although Nian Duan wouldn't say anything about the matter, the resentful look in his eyes, as if he were looking at a heartless man, was really unbearable for the philanthropist Jing.
"Humph!"
Zhao Ji gave a slightly displeased snort: "What? I listened to your advice and even stopped the Golden House, but now you won't even allow me to get sick?"
Ying Jing had already visited Zhao Ji once after discussing the farm matters with Nian Duan.
He spoke countless kind words, reasoned with her, and appealed to her emotions, finally persuading Zhao Ji to agree to stop the construction of the Golden House.
"Jing understands perfectly well that the Empress Dowager built the Golden House to hide your feelings."
"But why should the Empress Dowager's fervent feelings be hidden away in a golden house?"
Heaven knows what Zhao Ji was thinking. Ying Jing strongly suspected that she was looking for an opportunity to lock the two of them up inside and hide them for a while...
Given this woman's personality, she is entirely capable of doing it.
Seeing that Zhao Ji seemed to soften her attitude after hearing sweet words, Ying Jing stepped forward and took Zhao Ji's two slender and smooth hands. He then came behind her. Her red gauze dress had already slipped down a bit in the midst of her laughter, and her snow-white shoulders were half-exposed, creating a hazy and alluring effect.
His large, heavy hands gently massaged her smooth, fair shoulders. Zhao Ji closed her eyes in enjoyment, leaned her head back, and rested it on Ying Jing's abdomen.
The red dress had an extremely high slit, barely covering the vital area below her slender waist, while her two long, snow-white, lustrous legs were casually raised and rested on the dressing table in front of her.
"I have been ill for a long time, but even Master Nian Duan cannot cure this illness..."
Zhao Ji's voice was barely audible: "Only Xiao Jing'er, you are my medicine."
Ying Jing paused slightly in his movements, but did not speak. He simply continued his actions as if nothing had happened, his strength gentle yet just right.
Each acupoint and technique was Zhao Ji's favorite.
Even with his current status, Lord Changxin would never refuse to serve the Empress Dowager with the same earnestness and meticulousness as before.
I don't know how much time has passed.
"Queen Mother?"
Ying Jing called out softly, but received no response.
Zhao Ji was already asleep.
Ying Jing slowly let out a breath, then gently lifted Zhao Ji up by the waist, placed her on the soft couch, and covered her with a quilt.
Ying Jing stood quietly in front of the bed, looking at Zhao Ji, who was fast asleep with a smile on her face.
His expression was gentle, and his eyes held a soft look.
a long time.
Ying Jing turned around, his deep eyes returning to their calm, still state.
"It's time to get down to business."
……
Xianyang.
Changping-kun has been feeling very unwell lately.
From the moment the King of Chu died, he seemed to have unknowingly fallen into a deep trap.
Unable to break free, unable to escape!
From rumors in the State of Chu to stories told by novelists today.
He's already completely in the spotlight, and now his reputation has become all rather strange...
In this era, homosexuality wasn't considered a major problem; in fact, the King of Chu openly and honestly practiced it!
However, some discussion is inevitable.
A series of setbacks left Changping Jun feeling rather frustrated, so he went out into the streets hoping to ease his mind.
but……
"Indecent, indecent!"
Some Confucian disciples were engrossed in reading the storybook, while simultaneously vehemently criticizing it.
"This novelist's story is vulgar and too blunt. It should be more subtle here..."
"This ending is not good. How could you leave so resolutely? It would be better if you were reluctant to part, that would be more meaningful..."
"No, when we return to Qi, we should bring this along so our fellow disciples can give us a good critique!"
Changping-kun gritted his teeth as he listened to the discussions around him, his hands already clenched into fists.
"Your Majesty, should we..."
A bodyguard asked him about it.
"Let's go back home!"
Changping Jun had no way to pursue the matter.
Too much.
Moreover, the bigger the incident gets, the greater the impact he will suffer.
These Confucian scholars were just as eloquent as the Logicians.
Return to the mansion.
Changping Jun felt even more uncomfortable.
"My lord, since you are mindful of our past relationship and unwilling to harm the farmers, why do you stop Lord Changxin from taking action?"
"My poor Lian'er, she's only so young..."
"Perhaps, this is Lian'er's fate!"
Screw old flames!
Changping Jun felt like cursing.
But then a sudden feeling of fear washed over me.
His bedmate actually believed this illogical story?
What will become of the people of the world then?
However, Changping Jun really can't think of any good solutions right now.
If I weren't directly involved, I feel like I would have jumped in and discussed it too...
After much hesitation, Lord Changping finally decided to follow the example of Lord Changxin in the past.
In the past, when Lord Changxin was assassinated, he actually went to the palace to file a complaint and ended up getting a lot of benefits.
Since they had no solution themselves, they would let Ying Zheng come up with one.
Now Changping-kun has also decided to learn from him!
Everyone knows that novelists have now gathered under Lord Naganobu's banner, which is clearly Lord Naganobu's way of ruining his reputation.
but……
The result on Ying Zheng's side disappointed Lord Changping once again.
Changxin-jun is indeed a cunning old fox.
The Hanoi newspapers only published the physician Nguyen Duan's condemnation of the farmers for poisoning the farmers.
The stories fabricated by novelists are merely folk tales...
Furthermore, Changxin Jun and the novelist have repeatedly refuted the claim that someone is impersonating the novelist to spread such vulgar and untrue stories...
Even when the story first began to circulate, Lord Changxin, with his influence and power, strictly prohibited the spread of such vulgar stories that damaged Lord Changping's honor in Hanoi and even the Qin state.
but……
The more a story is explicitly forbidden from being spread, the faster and wider it spreads in private.
What vulgar story?
That's clearly a down-to-earth story that the general public loves!
Without Changxin Jun's "enthusiastic help," this story might not have spread so quickly.
"Lord Changxin has done his best, but it is easier to dam up a river than to dam up a stream of water. He is really not to blame."
"With the testimony of the physician Nian Duan, it seems that Mi Lian's so-called physical weakness was indeed caused by the peasants."
"Changping Jun, why don't you think about it? When did you offend the peasants?"
"To the point of defying the world and committing this evil deed."
Ying Zheng's words still echoed in his ears.
Changping Jun suddenly felt a chill run through him.
Lord Changping never dared to underestimate this king who had managed to control the vast Qin state at such a young age.
Lü Buwei and Cheng Jiao are both cautionary tales.
Is this really Changxin Jun targeting him?
This is really not right!
Changping-jun reflected on everything he had done, and realized that he had no enmity with Changxin-jun.
But perhaps what he did...
Has the young King of Qin already noticed some clues?
So, is this a way to give them a warning?
"We can no longer force farmers to protect their rights!"
Changping-kun quickly made a decision and secretly summoned Tian Guang to meet him in a dark room at home.
“I had the peasant disciples refute the story in teahouses and taverns, but they were so engrossed in listening to it that they became completely absorbed.”
"Some people even asked me if it was true."
Tian Guang's expression was now much more unpleasant than Changping Jun's.
Who are the disciples of the Farmer's School?
It is said that there are many disciples of the Farmer School, but in reality, most of them are just there to make up the numbers.
This kind of exciting story is exactly what those lower-level disciples like!
If we don't send these lower-level disciples, are we going to send those high-ranking hall masters to do this kind of work?
No solution!
As a chivalrous leader of a peasant family, Tian Guang has experienced all sorts of conspiracies, tricks, and sword fights.
But Tian Guang was not good at this kind of subtle approach.
"Let the farmers withdraw from the Qin state."
Changping sighed deeply.
He had no choice but to accept this loss.
"I made a terrible move regarding Lian'er's matter."
Changping Jun felt a little regretful.
He himself handed over the knife, which is why the rumor had such a surprising effect.
If we don't consider Nian Duan's rebuke of the peasants, it makes one wonder why the peasants would harm Changping Jun's daughter. Even if this outrageous rumor were true, it wouldn't be this exaggerated.
"The peasants have completely withdrawn from the State of Chu, so this has not had too much of an impact on Your Majesty."
"But if you withdraw from Qin, it will be of little benefit to you."
Tian Guang also sighed deeply.
Since gaining the support of Lord Changping, the agricultural school has developed rapidly, surpassing even the Confucian and Mohist schools.
But I don't know when it started, suddenly I encountered setbacks and my plans failed!
Does this mean that farming families are destined to never grow strong?
"It's alright, let's lie low for now."
"Now that Lord Changxin has taken action and issued a warrant for the arrest of the peasants, it is too dangerous for us to remain in Qin."
Changping Jun's expression finally returned to normal: "Moreover, Ying Zheng may already be suspicious of me. It would be a good thing to withdraw from Qin and go into complete hiding."
"To achieve great things, one need not be in a hurry for temporary victory or defeat."
"Those who can endure loneliness and remain until the end are the winners!"
By the end, Changping Jun had stood up, his wide sleeves billowing.
Confident and calm.
……
Hanoi.
In Ying Jing's study.
At this moment, the six sword slaves gathered in front of him.
"The cicadas are telling us that summer is almost here, it's time to get moving."
