If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 1362 Chinese New Year
The phrase "ten years of benevolent governance" can be simply summarized in four words.

Specific policies should be written down in text, with a minimum of 100,000 words.

Grand Tutor Yu did not participate in the formulation of any specific policies; she simply made Li Si and his colleagues understand why they should promote benevolent governance and what effects she hoped to achieve.

Li Si and Feng Quji immediately completed the formulation and promotion of the "Ten Years of Benevolent Governance" with extremely high efficiency and quality.

Grand Tutor Yu finally understood why Ying Zheng preferred to use Li Si.

Tonight's "Year-End National Affairs Summary Conference of the Princes" is similar to the ten years of benevolent governance; Grand Tutor Yu will not need to painstakingly advise each prince to solve his problems one by one.

There's no need to assign tasks or coordinate work for them.

Once she points out the right direction, smart teammates and subordinates can automatically complete their missions, even better than if she personally guided them.

She's good at talking, but her actual political experience is not as good as Li Si's, and her experience in the struggle for power among the feudal lords is not as good as that of the former King Ying.

The administrative team inherited from Ying Zheng would definitely be ranked number one among the top tiers in the Qin-Han catastrophe.

Even with Xiao He and Zhang Liang serving him, Liu Bang could only contend with the Qin Dynasty at its peak.

After completing 108 time travels, Grand Tutor Yu ended the dream journey and said only one sentence: "You have found the answer. Let's do it this way next year. This concludes today's annual meeting summary."

Throughout the entire process, she didn't say more than ten sentences in total.

As a result, the annual meeting achieved the effect she expected perfectly.

The late king and the other kings had no doubts. On the contrary, they were clear-headed, unified in their opinions, and full of enthusiasm, looking forward to the coming year.

"Grand Tutor, please take care. We're off."

King Mu, accompanied by his former kings, respectfully bowed to the Grand Tutor, and, feeling both weary and satisfied, departed in their carriages.

Humans and ghosts are different, and they did not always follow the kings as "hidden grandfathers".

Their "dreams" guiding their children and grandchildren are in accordance with the rules of this world.

If one spends too much time with the dead, it will diminish the fortunes of the kings and ruin the destiny of the Qin Dynasty.

"You should all go back now!"

Grand Tutor Yu gathered the princes together and planned to send them away—to dispel the dream and let them awaken naturally.

"Grand Tutor, wait a moment!" King Ying Tong of Bohai quickly walked a few steps to Grand Tutor Yu, bowed down, and said with a sorrowful expression, "Grand Tutor, my son Ying Fei was killed by Yan Wushuang, his head and body separated, a truly tragic end."

Xiao Wang wanted to avenge him, but he lacked the power to do so, and the strange and unusual people he invited were of no use.

Yan Wushuang was still roaming freely in Yan, even arrogantly declaring that he would continue to kill the young king's sons, so that the young king would die without an heir.

Xiao Wang knew that the Grand Tutor was extremely busy and dared not trouble the Grand Tutor to deal with this scoundrel personally.

"I only beg the Grand Tutor to bestow upon me the great magic, so that I, like His Majesty the Second Emperor, may master this divine skill and take my revenge."

Hu Hai, who was not far away, became agitated and shouted, "King of Bohai, you are so ambitious and covetous of my divine power! How despicable! My divine power is the 'Emperor's Divine Power,' you are merely a king, how can you cultivate the Emperor's power?"

The King of Bohai turned around and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not compete with you for the throne."

"I just want to learn a quick and powerful divine skill so I can take revenge on Yan Wushuang."

Grand Tutor Yu asked, "Have you witnessed the Second Emperor's unparalleled martial arts skills?"

The King of Bohai nodded repeatedly, his face full of amazement and longing, and said, "When I traveled through time before, I led troops to Xingyang to defend the emperor. I saw with my own eyes that His Majesty the Second Emperor was like a god descending to earth. Every move he made had great power, and no rebel general could defeat him."

Xiao Wang also diligently practiced martial arts, possessing superior internal energy cultivation techniques and never lacking in miraculous elixirs, yet he was still unable to reach the pinnacle of both strength and speed.

The Second Emperor was originally inferior to the young prince, but now he not only easily mastered the dual extremes of strength and speed, but also mastered the 'Emperor's Dharma Image'.

Within the area covered by the Dharma image, supernatural powers and magic were all interfered with, giving it a bit of the flavor of the late emperor's "invulnerability to all laws".

It's only been a few months!

The other princes also looked at Huhai with envy, but when they turned to Grand Tutor Yu, their expressions changed to longing.

Grand Tutor Yu sighed, “You only know that the Second Emperor achieved unparalleled superhuman feats in just a few months, but you don’t know how much suffering he endured in those months.”

Feng Quji was deeply moved and said, "Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor is right. His Majesty has become a brain-crushing madman in order to practice his skills."

He transformed into a black ox to plow the fields for the people.

He learned carpentry and repaired houses and built fences for the people.

Like a blacksmith, he helped the people forge iron plows.

They also went from street to street, comforting the elderly and infirm, and punishing scoundrels and ruffians.

He also sought justice for the common people, which was exhausting and required him to lower himself and lose face by going to court against powerful and corrupt officials.

Anyone else couldn't learn that.

After all, he was the Left Chancellor of the Empire, and over time, he learned some of Hu Hai's secrets, including that Hu Hai's brain injury was for practicing martial arts.

To be honest, even if the "Holy Emperor's Divine Skill" had no power whatsoever, just the fact that it could transform a licentious and incompetent ruler into a "Black Ox Emperor" in a short time would make him feel that the "Holy Emperor's Divine Skill" truly lived up to its name, being the most powerful and useful divine skill in the world, and that every emperor should learn it.

"I am willing to endure any hardship to avenge my son," the King of Bohai declared resolutely.

Grand Tutor Yu said, "Have you ever heard of the Heavenly Law of 'Leaking the Heavenly Dao'? The 'Holy Emperor's Divine Skill' cultivated by the Second Emperor can only be passed down to one person per generation."

His success was not only due to the custom-designed techniques I created for him, but also to his own "destiny as an emperor".

The destiny of an emperor is considered a special kind of 'divine bone'.

You have the rank of a king, which barely qualifies you for cultivation.

However, your cultivation speed and efficiency are certainly far inferior to those of the Second Emperor, and you will not be able to achieve the results you expect.

Unless you plot to usurp the throne and succeed.

Seeing the disappointment on the face of the King of Bohai, Grand Tutor Yu pondered for a moment and then said, "However, with the assassination of the King of Bohai's heir and the assassination of the Grand Commandant, your security measures do indeed need to be strengthened."

You can die on the battlefield, but you cannot be assassinated.

Unless there is a major cause or effect, and the assassination of important officials and princes of the Qin Dynasty is solely for the purpose of opposing the imperial court, I will personally take action.

You can spread the word. As long as I'm alive, that word will have a deterrent effect.

After all, the assassin who killed the Grand Commandant had already been skinned alive in front of the Grand Commandant's tomb, and the mastermind behind it, Yin Yinzi, had also received his retribution.

Yan Wushuang, who killed your son, I'll go to Yan after the New Year.

I guarantee you'll be able to personally avenge your enemy.

"Thump!" The King of Bohai knelt down on both knees.

"Thank you, Grand Tutor, for avenging my son! My son, you can die in peace."

His eyes were red, and he choked up as he kowtowed three times to Grand Tutor Yu.

The other princes and nobles also bowed to Grand Tutor Yu with gratitude and excitement on their faces.

Grand Tutor Yu looked around and solemnly emphasized, "Remember this clearly: I will uphold justice for you only if you kill someone without any major cause or effect."

If you habitually bully others and someone seeks revenge, I won't care.

I will go to the underworld to check the Book of Life and Death to see if someone is using revenge as a pretext to harm you.

Jiang Lü said, "If it were purely for revenge, others would have a reason to do so, and we would deserve to die. We wouldn't dare trouble the Grand Tutor to worry about it."

Grand Tutor Yu nodded slightly. "If you are assassinated in the line of duty, I will not only avenge you, but as the Grand Tutor of Qin, I will also do my best to help you with your future after death."

Everyone immediately thought of the Imperial Guard of Hengshan Empire, and a hint of anticipation appeared on their faces.

Although they held royal titles during their lifetimes and should be buried in blessed lands after their deaths, the kings of these blessed lands can also earn extra money by holding divine positions!

For example, Duke Xiang of Song.

Moreover, given the current situation in the Qin Dynasty, it's likely that they won't be able to be buried in a blessed land. Or rather, to be buried in a blessed land, they would need the Grand Tutor's help.

Grand Tutor Yu continued, “Revenge is for holding people accountable, but we must also take precautions. The Second Emperor’s ‘Holy Emperor’s Divine Skill’ is indeed not suitable for you. I also have a quick success method here, which you should have heard of, ‘The New Lotus Holy Scripture’.”

I recently obtained the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Daoist Techniques at Mangdang Mountain and made some modifications to the previous Lotus Sutra.

In addition, there was the "Strange Techniques of Heyang" that he had obtained from Zhao Gao earlier.

The new Lotus Holy Scripture not only allows for rapid cultivation and offers a tiny hope of achieving immortality, but its power is also unparalleled.

For example, Zhao Gao's most proficient skills include the Heavenly Ghost Step, the Blood Killing Blade, and the Undying Body.

You all experienced this firsthand during your previous infinite time travels.

These powerful supernatural abilities are all included.

He didn't need to cultivate himself; he could leave it to his trusted chief eunuch.

You promise them on my behalf that while you are alive, I will be loyal to you and protect you. This will complete the cause and effect of spreading the Dharma.

Afterwards, they can drift away, seeking opportunities, striving for further advancement, and seeking immortality.

Li Si frowned and said, "I heard that Zhao Gao's 'Strange Book of Heyang' has an owner, who seems to be a great immortal."

Grand Tutor Yu sneered, "I deliberately spread the 'Strange Book of Heyang' widely because I knew it had an owner."

From now on, when Zhao Gao and the chief eunuchs around the princes commit murders, the consequences will be borne entirely by that elusive and secretive immortal.

The kings were puzzled.

Hu Hai chuckled and said, "You don't know yet, do you? Zhao Gao is the 'Su Daji' of our Great Qin!"

He was secretly cultivated by some powerful immortal, who wanted to ruin the destiny of my Great Qin Dynasty.

Now, using his skills to protect the Qin Dynasty is a form of repaying kindness with kindness.

—How dare you criticize him? Aren't you a "Su Daji" yourself?
Grand Tutor Yu muttered to himself, but said aloud, "Zhao Gao has taken the Ancestral Dragon Qi Pill."

Once Su Daji stops causing chaos in the court, she can go to the battlefield and serve the country! He's doing a pretty good job, hasn't he?

King Lieyang nodded and said, "As a military supervisor, Zhao Gao is very qualified."

Two county lieutenants from the "Honggou Legion" he was stationed in were planning to defect, but he caught them beforehand. With witnesses and physical evidence, they were executed on the spot, serving as a deterrent to the entire army.

Grand Tutor Yu laughed and said, "If the Great Qin can regain the Mandate of Heaven, I will release Zhao Gao and the Second Emperor will also ensure that his Zhao family enjoys wealth and honor."

"Father, rest assured, I will speak to him," Hu Hai said.

Grand Tutor Yu created another dream, allowing the princes to enter and study the "New Lotus Sutra".

They cut off their own chickens in their dreams and practiced this several times.

Originally, they only wanted to memorize it deeply, but after mastering it, they found that its power was too strong, and they couldn't stop, so they all wanted to cultivate it in their true forms.

After seeing off the princes of the Ying clan, Grand Tutor Yu returned to his residence.

"Master, you're back!" Fat Moller was already standing at the door, but he wasn't just waiting for her.

Grand Tutor Yu looked around and noticed that two large red flocked lanterns with the character "囍" (double happiness) were hanging at the main entrance.

Even on the street outside the gate, there were two long rows of bamboo poles, each carrying a large lantern.

The lanterns and poles stretched for more than a mile, even passing by other people's doorsteps, all the way to the street corner.

Fat Moller also changed into new clothes, wearing a crown and a black and red robe.

Although he is Black, he doesn't look out of place at all; he has the demeanor of a nobleman from a high-ranking country.

"Approximately what time will you arrive?" Grand Tutor Yu was also standing at the door, without entering the house.

Fat Moller said excitedly, "They said they would arrive precisely at 3 a.m. (the hour of Yin).

Grand Tutor Yu did a quick calculation and said, "There's still half an hour left, let's go back inside!"

Fat Moller was reluctant to go back, but he didn't want "Master" to be with him, standing at the door in the dead of winter, exposed to the northwest wind.

Upon entering the inner courtyard, one could see Xiao Linzi dozing off behind the door.

However, he was still alert. As soon as the Grand Tutor entered, he immediately woke up and asked, "Master, has the annual summary meeting of the princes ended?"

Grand Tutor Yu grunted in acknowledgment, then looked around and asked, "Are all the New Year's goods prepared?"

Fat Moller quickly replied, "Don't worry, sir. Even if we open the doors wide and let all the officials come in to pay their respects, we can still set up ten or eight tables every day without any shortages."

Grand Tutor Yu sat in his chair and said, "I probably won't stay at home for long; I'll only have guests visiting on the first day of the lunar month."

I will be leaving Xianyang on the second day of the Lunar New Year. However, Sister Peony will definitely not leave until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

She has now successfully completed her Yin-based physical transformation and can now consume human food.

Fat Moller was somewhat disappointed and said, "In such a vast city as Xianyang, Miss doesn't even know a single person."

Grand Tutor Yu was also quite helpless, saying, "A few days ago, I encountered a chance encounter with immortals on Mount Mangdang, but I met a few old demons and even got into a conflict with them."

I killed one, crippled another, and was myself afflicted by the Soul-Corroding Curse. I must search for that old demon and find a way to break the curse.

"Ah, the Soul-Corroding Curse, it sounds terrifying! Master, are you alright?" Fat Moller asked in a panic.

"If left unchecked, the situation will become very serious in three to five years."

"It's just making me a little distracted, it's nothing serious," Grand Tutor Yu said calmly.

After thinking for a moment, she added, "Xiao Linzi, go out and find out tomorrow morning what activities are taking place in Xianyang for the Spring Festival this year."

Find out about everything, from poetry gatherings and lantern festivals to high-end events, mid-range events, and events for the general public.

You and Fatty Moller will be your guides, leading Sister Peony on a tour of Xianyang City.

I must at least visit Zhangtai Palace, and then stay at Epang Palace for a few nights.

Two years later, those towering "heavenly palaces" of the Epang Palace would have been completely demolished.

"Don't worry, sir, I guarantee Miss Peony will have a different experience every day," Xiao Linzi said.

Afterwards, Grand Tutor Yu inquired about Fat Moluo's cultivation progress and gave him a few pointers. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind drifted in from outside.

"Sister Peony is here, Fatty, let's go out."

After waiting at the entrance for a few more minutes, two Taoist priests, each holding a whisk, floated over from the street corner, one on the left and one on the right. Behind them were four tall, golden-armored deities.

The golden-armored deity shimmered with a faint golden light, making him quite conspicuous in the darkness.

They were working together to carry a more conspicuous palanquin.

The golden carriage with its vermilion shaft, adorned with pearl curtains and jade ornaments, and embroidered with phoenix patterns, exuded imperial majesty.

"Mother~~" A cheer came from the palanquin, which was a dozen steps away.

Grand Tutor Yu did not move or respond to him.

She waited until the two Taoist priests arrived before stepping forward to express her gratitude.

These are two Celestial Masters!

The golden-armored deities carrying the palanquin were not paper dolls, but genuine gods.

The Celestial Master summoned a divine general using a flying talisman.

The palanquin was "borrowed" from the palace by Ying Ziying, the magistrate of Xianyang. It was 1.5 zhang tall, 1.5 zhang wide, and 2.5 zhang long, and could seat seven or eight people.

There were only three people on the palanquin at this time: Yu Taishi's adopted son Chi Miao, Sister Shaoyao, and her maid.

The palanquin stopped at the entrance of the Grand Tutor's mansion. After the three of them disembarked, Grand Tutor Yu nodded to the golden-armored deity, "Thank you all for your trouble."

"I dare not, I dare not." The golden-armored deity bowed and then carried the empty palanquin, floating towards the imperial palace.
