[Comprehensive] Survival of the Last Emperor

"It's actually quite simple, the main thing is that piece of cloth...it...it's actually just a very ordinary piece of cloth, there's really no tricks. The main thing is that it's an eyesore. The child deliberately waved that piece of cloth just to attract them. Then I flicked the saltpeter powder into the water while they were not paying attention, and then covered it with a cloth. In fact, it was quite easy, as long as the hands were fast enough, it was the same later on. The boy deliberately shook the fan to attract attention, and then grabbed a little saltpeter powder with his hands."

"You are quite smart, and you can use cloth to attract attention." Ying Zheng pinched Hu Hai's ear, and said with a smile, "You are really a cunning little fox. Where did you learn this trick? "

"On the streets of Xianyang City, those jugglers." Hu Hai integrated the content of the magic decryption programs that later generations have watched, "When you see them juggling, they will deliberately show you something. The purpose of going there is to attract your attention, so that you don't pay attention to what you should pay attention to-their hands. Those jugglers, most of the things they conjure are hidden in their sleeves, while you look at other people. Things, they just take the opportunity to take out the things to be changed, there is no difficulty, just quick hands."

"Then you, saltpeter, also learned from jugglers?" Ying Zheng looked at the saltpetre in his hand repeatedly, and said thoughtfully.

"No! I got it from the group of alchemists in the palace." Hu Hai said half-truth, his expression was still innocent and cute, and there was no sign of lying at all, "But I learned it from the street. There are several other tricks, such as making money in boiling oil without hurting your hands. Speaking of which, one is turning water into ice, and the other is making money by boiling oil. One is cold and the other is hot. It really matches well when you think about it.”

Since the earliest gunpowder was a by-product of alchemists' alchemy, it is not uncommon for alchemists to produce saltpeter, so Hu Hai is not afraid that Ying Zheng will expose him.As for whether Yingzheng will juggle from the street, if he thinks that alchemists are also jugglers, then let's not do his business, he is cute and innocent.

If Yingzheng wants to perform by himself, he can do whatever he wants, even if he is dozing off, he will be given a pillow.In my previous life, when the school held a gala, I was selected to perform on behalf of the class. For the glory of the class, I watched a lot of magic decryption programs and learned a lot of little magic tricks.

The reason why the ancient alchemists were able to deceive the king's trust was nothing more than four points: first, they were good at packaging and concealing their real age, and they dared to boast that they were 30 years old at the age of [-]; The third is to be able to match what one likes, and the dragon's farts are slapping; the fourth is to rely on little magic.In fact, the first three are false, and the king is not an idiot. Without the last little magic trick, who would believe you?Just with your mouth?

"That's it... what you said... is quite interesting." Ying Zheng's voice was a little gloomy, and he naturally didn't suspect that Hu Hai was deceiving himself on purpose. Firstly, it was not good for him, and he didn't. My own needs; secondly, a four-year-old child, no matter how talented he is, how can he be so smart that he can understand these little tricks without any problems?This must be learned from others, but I don't know if they taught it on their own initiative, or Hu Hai learned it by putting a knife on someone's neck.

Either Hu Hai really learned it by mistake, or someone borrowed Hu Hai's hand and wanted to tell himself about it.

Seeing the gloom on Ying Zheng's face, Hu Hai stuck out his tongue and made a grimace in his heart, and decided to change the subject for now, so as not to burn himself, "Father, why are you so dazed? I want to eat another piece." The beef should be tender, father...you need to practice your meat cutting skills, cut a piece so thick."

Awakened by Hu Hai's voice, Ying Zheng looked at the piece of beef he had just cut, and then raised his head to stare at Hu Hai who had a face full of reluctance.

bad boy!

Being acted like a spoiled child by his son, Ying Zheng didn't have time to think about the alchemist, so he directly stuffed the piece of beef that Hu Hai disliked with his chopsticks into his mouth, and cut a piece of beef according to Hu Hai's request, making it tender and tender. , make it thin, and then brush the baby bear with sauce, and then stuff a chopstick into the baby bear... The widow has never served the queen like this!

"Hee hee! Father, don't be angry, don't be angry, take a break." Hu Hai put the mutton in his bowl, which had been removed from the bones, and only the meat was left, into Yingzheng's wrist, and said with a smile: "Father likes to eat Mutton, let my father's lamb feed you mutton."

"Father's little lamb..." Do you have the nerve to call him "Little Sheep"?Obviously it's a "bear".

Ying Zheng took a mouthful of mutton angrily. In fact, he no longer likes mutton very much, but prefers beef.It’s just that farm cattle are very precious these days. In almost all dynasties, privately slaughtering farm cattle is illegal. Once the crime is found to be serious, it may be punished with death. It is basically difficult to eat beef in a short time. Generally, only cattle that die of illness or old age are available.In the Qin State, the Qin law even clearly stipulated that "in April, July, October, and the first month of each year, the cattle will be appraised. After one year, a big assessment will be held in the first month. Excellent results will be rewarded; those with poor results will be rewarded." If you use oxen to plow the field, the waistline of the oxen will lose weight, and the person in charge will be beaten ten times for every inch of loss.”

Therefore, not to mention ordinary people, even the high-ranking officials and nobles of the Qin State, if they slaughtered cattle privately and were found out by the Ting Wei, they would be punished.

Of course, the royal family is always an exception. For example, there are many beef cattle specially used for food in Shaofu.

It's just that under this kind of social atmosphere, even the king would not dare to eat beef openly, but could only eat it secretly.

In addition, as the emperor, Ying Zheng couldn't reveal his likes and dislikes to outsiders casually, so no one found out that his favorite food was beef.

Ying Zheng thought that Zhao Gao, who had been by his side all year round, would be the first to find out about it, but he didn't expect that Hu Hai would be the first to find out.The little leather jacket began to ask to have meals with him every day, and then cried out to eat beef. Anyway, children are young and ignorant, so what can they do if they eat two bites of meat?The ministers in court can at most say that the king loves his son too much.

Ying Zheng was moved by the behavior of wearing a small leather jacket, and Hu Hai himself was a little depressed.As a later generation Chinese, of course he prefers to eat pork, but the cooking skills are not up to standard these days, and the pig breeding environment is too dirty. He lives next to a cesspit and eats feces. He is the most filthy animal in the world.Pigs are full of bacteria and parasites, and people are more likely to get sick after eating them. Therefore, in the era when there was no food safety and quarantine, not only the Islamic religion regarded pigs as "filthy things", but even in ancient China, pork was also called It is called "cheap meat", except for common people, the royal family and nobles will not eat pork.

What about mutton? You can tell by looking at the amount of meat consumed in China every year. The ancients didn’t know it. Anyway, many modern Han people don’t like to eat mutton, especially in the absence of a lot of spices to remove the smell. The urge to take a shower and change clothes.

Hu Hai still likes to eat beef. With his status, as long as he is willing to rub his father, he can eat beef at any time, but every time he eats it, he will think——now he can rub his father, but will he go to rub his brother in the future?For a meal of meat, I ran to pretend to be a grandson, no matter how I thought about it, I was not reconciled.

Hu Hai shook his head, refused the piece of beef that Ying Zheng handed over, carried it back to Ying Zheng's bowl, and muttered: "Father, eat more, eat and sleep on time to live forever."

"I know, I know! You brat!" Ying Zheng replied angrily, and at the same time, he did not forget to turn his head and stare at Zhao Gao behind him.

Blame me again?But I am so innocent!This time it's really not the servants who are going to sue!

Zhao Gao lowered his head, whoever made himself a retainer was born to be a shield for others.

"Humph! My father always said that, but every time he was disobedient, he didn't eat well, he didn't sleep well, and talking didn't count." Hu Hai made a face at Ying Zheng, thought for a while and said: "Before It’s okay to live far away in Xianyang Palace, but now that we live together in the same room, my son has decided that from now on, I will come to supervise my father’s meals for three meals a day.”

"Ah?" Ying Zheng looked at Hu Hai with a dull gaze. Others seem to be my father's supervisor to supervise his son's meals. Why does his own family... always feel that something is wrong?

"No way, who told you, father, that you always waste-sleep-forget-eat when you start working?" Hu Haihu said with a small face, and specially emphasized the words "waste-sleep-forget-eat" in a loud voice. , be content, at least I didn't say that it would be nice if you need a little sleep at night.

Since the beginning of Qin's War of Destroying the Six Kingdoms, Yingzheng has already had a lot of work, and it has become more and more. The weight of the memorials to be read every day has decreased, but the weight has not decreased at all. , It’s fine if the three meals are not on time, and I often don’t sleep all night. When I’m tired, I lie on the desk and take a rest. When I wake up, I get up and continue working. It saves a lot of energy, it is estimated that he will not even have time to eat this meal.

How can this work?With such an unhealthy and unhealthy lifestyle, it's no wonder that you don't die early in the future!

Hu Hai doesn’t believe it. According to later historians, Qin Shihuang died early because his life in Zhao State was too poor when he was a child, so his physique was too weak... Hehe, you have seen people with weak constitutions who can grow up to two meters high, and still Are you good at swordsmanship?Not to mention, the current Qin Shihuang has no physical problems at all, and there is no sign of early death in the future. As long as he pays attention to health preservation, his great-grandfather King Zhaoxiang can live to more than 70, and his great-grandfather An Guojun can live to five years playing with women all day long. Twelve out of ten, how could Qin Shihuang die at the age of fifty?

To put it bluntly, like Yongzheng and Zhuge Liang, he was unwilling to delegate power, had a strong desire to control, and had to do everything himself to die of exhaustion.

When I lived in Xianyang Palace before, everyone lived too far away, and Hu Hai, a dead house, didn’t like to go out. In addition, he didn’t know much about Ying Zheng’s hard work because of his own self-esteem, but since moving to Jianzhang Palace, after everyone lives close together... Hehe, in order to eat more beef with my father for a few more years, you have to correct those bad habits for me, dear father.

In addition, Qin Shihuang himself is a god beast who has been able to subdue the country. As long as he is alive, no one will dare to rebel, and the world will continue to be peaceful. Happy little kids.

As for the emperor living too long, whether the future crown prince will suffer from problems, this...is none of my business, anyway, the crown prince is not my master.

"Don't..." Ying Zheng covered his head in distress. He thought he could save him again, "Father thinks he is in good health."

"By the way, let's do morning exercises together tomorrow morning." Hu Hai ignored Ying Zheng's protest, and stabbed Ying Zheng again in self-satisfaction.

Are you in good health?You are only in your 30s now, and you are at the peak of your physical and mental abilities. Of course you feel pretty good. Wait a few years and see if you are okay?

This young master grasps the construction of feudal superstition with one hand, and the health adjustment of life with the other hand. He must grasp both hands, and both hands must be hard. No one can escape.

The author has something to say:

Someone asked me what would Japan do without Xu Fu going to sea?In fact, I have been thinking about this question for a long time. Silver is not in circulation in this era, and gold refers to brass. In addition to gold and silver, this place in Japan has nothing else. Why do I want him...

Then I checked the information of the Han Dynasty for a day today. Between the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties, whether gold and brass are the same thing, I checked some information, and there are two things that separate gold and copper (the " 12 taels of copper and [-] taels of gold")...so I decided to accept Japan reluctantly...

As for money, at worst, I'll build a silver house... Rich, self-willed
