The Qin Dynasty entered the game with love.

Chapter 190 National Preceptor

Ying Ji had been planning for several days, choosing a few lucky children each day to resolve matters. After a month in the border town, her reputation had proven much more effective than that of Fu Su.

Now that Fusu has come, let him take a good look at how to resolve the people's problems.

In front of the Imperial Advisor's residence, a large group of people are now kneeling.

A woman risked her life to obtain this blessing.

They handed blessings into the hands of the messenger of God, covered in filth.

Wu Guang took the items and led the person to the inner courtyard.

Fusu wanted to see the Grand Preceptor's tricks, so he went straight into the mansion, but no one stopped him.

He walked with dignity, and when he arrived, he saw the woman kneeling and thanking him with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, Grand Preceptor, thank you, Grand Preceptor. I understand. I will go back and make a longevity tablet for you."

Fusu stopped the woman and asked her questions in detail before he learned that her husband had died in the Xiongnu a few years ago and she had been taking care of her brother-in-law ever since.

As a result, her brother-in-law fell in love with her, joined the army as a centurion, and took all his military pay with him, intending to marry his sister-in-law.

The woman was unwilling, but how could she not have feelings for the person she had taken care of for so long? Her brother-in-law went on a hunger strike for three days and was on the verge of death, so she begged the imperial advisor for guidance.

The imperial advisor told her that if her brother-in-law could kill a hundred Xiongnu, the two of them would receive the blessing of heaven and could get married.

The woman also harbored feelings for her brother-in-law, but there were indeed some issues between them... so she remained tight-lipped.

Now that I have received the Imperial Preceptor's approval, I can accept something that even a divine being would agree to.

But Fusu didn't think so, and immediately began to rebuke him.

Confucianism upholds the Three Cardinal Guides and Five Constant Virtues: the ruler guides the subject, the father guides the son, and the husband guides the wife. It also emphasizes benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness.

The woman's actions can be described as dancing on Fusu's landmines.

"Outrageous! How could a woman like you have an affair with her brother-in-law? Even a tree needs bark to maintain its integrity. After doing such a thing, you still dare to stay here? You should give up this idea and properly keep vigil for your deceased husband."

The woman's initially joyful expression turned blank, her face unsure whether to laugh or cry. Under the pointing and whispering gazes of those outside the door, she finally covered her face and fled.

Fusu confronted Ying Ji angrily: "Grand Preceptor, how can you deceive such ignorant people like this? Do you have any conscience?"

Ying Ji glanced at Fu Su with amusement, then reached out her hand, and Bai Changchuan helped him up.

“I’ll give her a way out, but you’ll give her a way out. Fine, you’re the future king. The lives of these commoners are in your hands. If even you don’t care, then I care even less.”

Ying Ji tugged at Bai Changchuan, who was still in a daze, and then turned and left.

Fusu didn't understand. He didn't think he had done anything wrong. That's what the Confucian sages said. The one who was wrong was that woman.

Besides, it's not about not allowing her to marry her brother-in-law; it's a matter of basic human ethics and has nothing to do with anything else.

As long as you are diligent and work hard, you can certainly survive, so why would you want to die?

Fusu firmly believed in what he knew and vowed never to come to the Imperial Preceptor's residence again.

Furthermore, the Imperial Preceptor's residence was closed, and she was forbidden from bestowing blessings upon the common people.

Ying Ji obediently went into seclusion, and in these days, she completely won over Bai Changchuan.

He lay on the man's body, thinking of that woman. She should have died. It was she who pushed Fusu to her death in order to cultivate him.

Bai Changchuan knew perfectly well why Ying Ji was so insistent on nurturing Fusu, but he didn't want to ask anymore.

If the answer isn't what you want, there's no difference between saying it or not.
