Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

The preparations for the prince's wedding were naturally grand, and Ying Zheng handed it over to the Zong Zheng to preside over.

Fusu was busy with government affairs every day and only needed to try on the wedding dress. There was nothing else for him to worry about.

Time quickly came to June, and a few days before the wedding, two pieces of good news arrived in Xianyang City.

Ryukyu was completely occupied by General Wang Ben.

The Loulan Kingdom in the north has been occupied by General Li Mu.

The two pieces of good news added a lot of color to the prince's wedding.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is also full of joy these days.

Just because the owner of the house is happy.

In the study, when Zhang Yuanqing heard the two good news from Gao Yi, the system that was about to be forgotten spoke again.

"Since the host has pushed for the return of the Ryukyu land to Qin, the system headquarters has specially awarded the host a reward."

"What's the reward?"

Zhang Yuanqing asked in surprise, and was so excited that he couldn't help coughing.

"Host, the system has given you two rewards. You can choose which one you want."

"Which two rewards?"

"The first reward is a Warming Pill. This pill can strengthen the body and replenish the vital energy. Even if a dying person takes one, the body will slowly recover."

"The second reward is a set of science books and a world map."

After hearing about the two rewards, Zhang Yuanqing did not speak for a long time.

"System, do I have to choose between these two options now? Or can I choose later?"

The system was silent for a moment. "Host, you can make a choice after careful consideration. There is no time limit."

Zhang Yuanqing nodded, stood up and walked outside, sat under the old tree and slowly began to sip tea.

The prince's wedding was very grand.

On the wedding day, Fusu came early to invite his teacher into the palace.

Everything has been arranged in the palace.

The prince got married, and the maids and eunuchs in the palace were all filled with joy.

"Only heaven and earth create, and all things are nourished; the sun receives its essence, and the moon moistens its beauty..."

Under the praises of the ceremonial officer, the two newlyweds walked in slowly in their black and red wedding dresses.

The newlyweds bow to each other and then the bride fans them. They then perform the rituals of washing hands, sharing the same incense, drinking the same cup, and tying the hair...

Zhang Yuanqing was supported by Gao Yi and stood at the head of all officials, watching Fusu's wedding quietly with a smile on his face.

On the second day of the wedding, Fusu brought the Crown Princess to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"teacher."

The couple bowed respectfully to Zhang Yuanqing.

"Prince, Princess, please stand up quickly."

Zhang Yuanqing stood up and lifted up Fusu and Li Yu, and the two stood up with the help of their teacher.

Then the three of them sat down.

"After the marriage, Fusu will be an adult."

"Husband and wife are one. You two should support each other and advance and retreat together. Be more considerate of each other and don't be willful."

"I've taken note of what the teacher taught me."

The couple stood up again and responded.

The three of them chatted under the old tree for a long time before Fusu took Li Yu away.

"When you have time in the future, please come and see the teacher more often."

"Yes, I will come to accompany the teacher for a few days from time to time."

After the prince's wedding, Ying Zheng suspended external expansion, adopted Fusu's advice, developed the economy internally, and sent caravans to Loulan and other places for trade.

Meanwhile, Daqin College also welcomed its annual assessment.

Through this assessment, Qin's talent pool was expanded.

The time has come to the 24th year of the Zheng Zheng era.

"cough cough"

Inside the study, snowflakes were flying outside, and Zhang Yuanqing was holding a pen and writing non-stop.

Qingque stood at the door, looked at the Marquis several times, and wanted to say something.

"cough cough"

"cough cough"

"My Lord, please take a rest and stop writing."

Finally, Qingque couldn't help but speak out.

Since the beginning of winter, the Marquis has not been in good health.

He also insists on writing every day and won't listen to any advice.

They were not allowed to tell the Crown Prince and Crown Princess.

Once, Qingque couldn't help but ask the prince to persuade the marquis to get more rest. After the prince left, the marquis punished Qingque with a sullen face.

That was the first time they saw the Marquis so angry.

Since then, they dared not say anything more in front of the prince.

"I've only got a little more to write. I'm fine. Didn't Doctor Chang Xian prescribe some new medicine for me? Is it time to take it? Go get it for me."

Qingque had no choice but to push open the door and leave to boil medicine for the Marquis.

The constant coughing made Zhang Yuanqing write much slower.

I am not as pretty as before.

After filling a page, he put down the pen, looked at the crooked handwriting in some places, and was about to throw it away and rewrite it, but his hand stopped.

"cough cough cough"

"Never mind, that's all. You can still understand it if you look carefully."

Wait until the ink dries, carefully place it in the box, and then continue writing.

Soon, Qingque brought the medicine. Zhang Yuanqing put away his writing materials, took the bowl of medicine and drank it all in one gulp.

"My Lord, why don't you take a rest?"

"Okay, I'm going to get some sleep."

Zhang Yuanqing stood up, rubbed his wrist, and lay down on the bed with coughs.

It took a long time to fall asleep.

When Zhang Yuanqing woke up again, it was already the next day.

At this time, Doctor Chang Xian had already entered the Prime Minister's Mansion carrying a medicine box.

"I've met the Marquis."

"Doctor Chang Xian, please take a seat."

Zhang Yuanqing put his wrist back in place skillfully. Chang Qiong looked at Zhang Yuanqing's expression and took his pulse with a serious face.

After a long time, Chang Xi withdrew his hand.

There were only the two of them in the room, and Chang looked at Zhang Yuanqing with dissatisfaction.

"I have told the Marquis that he should not work too hard, but should rest more and not overwork himself."

"How could the Marquis disobey the doctor's advice?"

When it came to the last sentence, Chang was a little angry.

"cough cough"

Zhang Yuanqing smiled and said, "Doctor, please don't be angry. This is my fault. I'm sorry to trouble Doctor Changxian to worry about it."

"Since you know this, why do you still do this?"

After saying that, Chang closed his mouth.

Looking at Zhang Yuanqing, he sighed.

"If you want to do more for the Qin State, you should take good care of yourself and not be so willful."

Zhang Yuanqing listened quietly to Chang Qiong's words before speaking.

"Doctor, please keep my physical condition secret. I know what I am doing, and this is what I must do."

After a moment of silence, Chang Xi spoke: "If no one asks, I won't say much."

After saying that, he left the room with the medicine box.

Zhang Yuanqing looked at the somewhat angry Chang Qiong and smiled.

Soon, Qingque brought the medicine and Zhang Yuanqing took it and drank it.

After sitting for a while, he began to write at the desk again.

Every time this happened, the maids would stand far away and dare not disturb them.

The only sound in the room was the occasional cough.

After a winter of rest, the fields have regained their vitality.

The wheat seedlings are growing vigorously.

Zhang Yuanqing no longer went to rest under the old tree. Instead, he stayed in the study every day after waking up, and went back to his room to rest when he was tired.

In this way, time soon came for the autumn harvest.

This autumn is destined to be a good harvest.

Memorials from all over the Qin State, with strings of grain indicating the wealth of the Qin State.

Fusu specially brought a copy to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Teacher, this is the grain production data from various places. Fusu brought a copy for you to see."

"cough cough"

Zhang Yuanqing pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve, covered his mouth with it and coughed continuously.

Fusu stood up and carried the scroll on his back for his teacher.

"Why is the teacher coughing so badly? Qingque, go get a doctor."

Zhang Yuanqing stopped coughing, put away the handkerchief and casually put it in his sleeve.

"No need. Doctor Chang Xian just came today. The weather is getting colder, so a few coughs are normal."

After speaking a few words, Zhang Yuanqing's lips turned pale.

"Help me to rest for a while, I'm a little tired."
