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

Chapter 975: There is "Yubuki"
The Queen Mother is a little slow in thinking.

Only after Yu Fengxian walked out of Zhangtai Palace did she come to her senses.

Yu Fengxian not only mocked Li Si, but also showed off her power and acted big in front of her.

"He is indeed a barbarian and has no manners!" she cursed angrily.

"Etiquette is about to collapse, and music has already been ruined." Wei Liaozi sighed: "The Queen Mother uses etiquette to pressure her, but she must first have etiquette herself."

"Why am I so rude?" the Queen Mother shouted.

Wei Liaozi said: "The greatest etiquette is sacrifice and offering.

Offering sacrifices to heaven is to comply with the will of heaven and respond to the will of the people; worshiping ancestors is to abide by ancestral family rules and listen to the teachings of the spirits of the ancestors.

The Heavenly Master is the link between the king and God, and between the king and ancestors.

The Heavenly Master represents the king and is responsible for communicating with heaven and the spirits underworld.

Master Yu Tian has proven his talent and virtue to everyone.

The Queen Mother should respect her as she respects the heavens, the earth, and her ancestors. This is the greatest courtesy."

Lao Ai said calmly: "Master Guowei is exaggerating. There are more than one hundred celestial masters in the Imperial Observatory, and Yu Fengxian is just one of them.

If every Heavenly Master and Queen Mother were to be respected as if they were the ancestors of Heaven and Earth, then who would be the ruler and who would be the subject?"

Wei Liaozi glanced at him and sneered, "The importance of etiquette is second only to the rules between the monarch and his subjects. Now the monarch is not acting like a monarch, allowing his favored minister to override all other officials, like a second emperor.

You have long since destroyed the etiquette of the Great Qin, and yet you still call others barbarians.

The barbarians look down on you, don't you have any sense of shame?"

The Queen Mother said angrily: "Old man, how dare you talk to me like this?"

Wei Liaozi said calmly, "Queen Mother, Grand Master Meng has left."

"Master Meng" The Queen Mother was stunned, and became more angry, "Without Master Meng, I still can't cure you?"

"What crime does the Queen Mother want to punish me for? Disobedience and disrespect? I have just mentioned the first and second great rites.

Queen Mother, please tell me where I was wrong." Wei Liaozi said.

"What else can I say to you? I'm going to dismiss you from your post! First I'll beat you with a stick, and then I'll send you home to eat your rice!" the Queen Mother said excitedly.

Before Wei Liaozi could happily agree, Prime Minister Feng got excited and said, "Queen Dowager, please don't say such angry words! The decline of the Qin Dynasty is obvious now. Even without Master Yu telling you, can't the Queen Dowager understand?
Without the Lord Commander to suppress the hundreds of military commanders in the four directions, the world would have been in chaos long ago.

My Lord, I understand your thoughts, but you can’t forget the kindness of the late emperor! "

The Qin army was divided into three categories: the garrison troops in Guanzhong, the local troops in various counties, and the border troops.

The border troops were composed of hundreds of dukes with military merits.

For example, the Great Wall Army belonged to the Meng family, the Wang family, and the Li family. The Baiyue in the south included Ren Xiong, Zhao Tuo, etc.
In the past, when the Qin Dynasty was at its peak, they were able to stand on their own two legs and check and balance each other.

Now that the local army began to get out of control, many of the Guanzhong troops were transferred to the Great Wall defense line to help the Great Wall Corps resist the Hu people.

The balance had been broken long ago, and Guo Weiliao played a vital role in maintaining the basic foundation.

Basically, all the military marquises of the Qin Dynasty had studied the tactics and military formations in the Taiwei Mansion.

They have all been trained by Wei Liaozi and can be considered his students.

Without Wei Liaozi, and if someone else were to take over as the national commander, would the eight military commanders be able to accept this?

Wei Liaozi sighed helplessly and bowed to the Queen Mother. "I have offended the Queen Mother and am willing to be fined three years' salary to atone for my crime. However, my words are unpleasant to hear, but they are the truth.

Master Yu Tian is very talented, so don’t let her limited ambitions to strengthen Qin be dampened.”

Li Si said coldly: "What great talent do you have? After all, isn't it the same old thing of reducing taxes and levies and giving the people a rest? How many times have we said this in the past?
If the Queen Mother is willing to listen, she would have listened a long time ago. Is it her turn to be an upright and outspoken minister? "

Although these words were meant to belittle Yu Fengxian, the Queen Mother was not happy at all when she heard them.

She said angrily, "You are only targeting me, right? I only wear eight sets of clothes in four seasons, I only eat five kinds of food, and I don't even have a fairy follower around me.

what about you?
My food is better than yours? My house is more luxurious than yours?
The Afang Palace in Mount Li stretches for hundreds of miles. Am I the only one living there? Haven't your descendants settled there?

Apart from the fact that my mausoleum is bigger than yours and consumes more manpower and material resources, how can I compare with you in other aspects?

He talks about "I" all day long, as if the great Qin Dynasty was all ruined by me.

As the mother of the emperor and the regent queen dowager, how big a sin is it for me to keep a favored minister and build a mausoleum for him?
Yu Fengxian said before that leaving my name in history or being laughed at for generations to come, but I am not afraid anyway.

I would like to let future generations judge, which empress dowager does not keep favored ministers and build a mausoleum?"

Li Si said in a deep voice: "I have many retainers, I live in a big house, and I never tire of fine food.

But I didn't take a penny from the national treasury.

I have fiefs and gifts from the late emperor, and my family has more wealth than I can spend. I don’t need to extort money from the people.”

The Queen Mother cried out, "Doesn't the whole world belong to me?"

Wei Liaozi sighed, "Everyone has their own reasons, but no one can convince others, and no one has the right to criticize others.

Therefore, if we give the same advice to Master Yu, the effect may be very different.

We repeat it over and over again, but we can't change.

How can you persuade the king and his ministers to live frugally when you yourself are living an extravagant life?

If we can't do something, we might as well let Master Yu Tian do it.

We definitely can't do it well, but she can definitely do it well.

Because she doesn't have to weigh the pros and cons of all parties, she will only weigh what to do to benefit Daqin.

She has clairvoyance and can see the present and the future.

It just so happens that we all know that Master Meng wants to leave and wants Master Yu to replace her."

He bowed to the Queen Mother and said, "I propose to restore the old system of the Shang Dynasty and give the power of the Grand Marshal and the Prime Minister to the Grand Master. Let the Grand Master be above the Three Dukes, and let Master Yu Tian lead all civil and military officials."

During the reign of King Zhou of Shang, Wen Zhong was the Grand Tutor, but there were also Prime Minister Shang Rong, the second-in-command Big Dang (deputy prime minister, equivalent to Li Si's left prime minister), and Huang Feihu, the "King of Martial Arts" whose position was similar to that of a grand marshal.

But it was obvious that they were all much shorter than Wen Zhong.

By the Zhou Dynasty, the power of the "Grand Master" had been greatly weakened.

When Ying Zheng unified the world, there was no position of Grand Master in the court. There was only Heavenly Master and Great Heavenly Master.

After Ying Zheng's death, Meng Qi entered the court as an official, and the Queen Mother Zhao restored the position of "Grand Master".

But as the Grand Tutor, Meng Qi rarely even attended court.

There is nothing to do in court.

Military affairs are under the jurisdiction of the Grand Marshal, political affairs are under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister, and supervision of all officials is under the jurisdiction of the Grand Censor.

Everyone has their own duties, and the Grand Tutor can only advise the Empress Dowager when he has something to say.

At this time, Wei Liaozi's words were simply earth-shattering, and they were intended to subvert the "ancestral system" of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers.

"Sir, are you having a brain hemorrhage?" Imperial Censor Feng Jie was the first to exclaim.

The other ministers followed one after another.

"Master Guowei, do you also want to follow the example of Grand Master Meng and escape? Even if so, you can't completely follow Grand Master Meng and hand over the authority to Yu Fengxian!"

"Sir, I acknowledge the talent of Master Yu. But one obvious fact is that her Taoist method is self-created. She has never learned the Taoist method. You want her to control the government if she doesn't even master the Taoist method?"

"Master Guowei, the laws of our ancestors cannot be changed! The situation in Daqin is not good now, and we can't stand any more trouble."

"Sir, how many days has Master Yu Tian only been in Xianyang? We don't know her, and she doesn't know the Xianyang court either. How did you think of letting her lead all the civil and military officials?"

After a long quarrel, Wei Liaozi finally got the chance to speak again.

He said seriously, "In order to allow Master Yu Tian to inherit the position of Grand Master, Master Meng has consulted with us privately several times in the past few days. He spoke some things openly and clearly, and you also understand.

I was a little hesitant before, but today when I met Master Yu Tian in person, I found that he is indeed extraordinary in demeanor and talent.

Now I completely agree with what Grand Master Meng said. The only one who can save the Great Qin is Grand Master Yu!
Don't even mention the Taoist priesthood.

The Tianshi Dao is just a small path.

If she can create her own 'Heavenly Eye to Identify Order and Regard', then shouldn't she be able to master other techniques as well?

Don't say that she doesn't understand Xianyang and is not familiar with the civil and military officials.

At a glance, she could tell who was a treacherous minister and who was a loyal minister.

She is so closely connected to the dragon energy of the Qin Dynasty that she can detect even the slightest changes. How can she not know which policies are beneficial to the country and which policies are harmful to the people? "

Lao Ai said: "She is disobedient and disrespectful to the Queen Mother. Expecting her to be loyal to the emperor and protect the country is like looking for fish in a tree."

Wei Liaozi sighed and said, "Lao Ai, you flatter the Queen Mother because you want something from her.

What is the most satisfying thing about a king?
Power and wealth!
You flatter because you want power and wealth.

Master Yu Tian is not a flatterer, but respects the truth, which is exactly why I feel at ease handing over the power to her."

"What's the use of saying it? I also said that I only respect reason and will not be oppressed by power." Lao Ai said.

"That's right, it's useless to talk, just shut up!"

Wei Liaozi did not look at him or the Queen Mother, but only glanced at Feng Quji, Li Si and other important officials with a sincere look, "I implore all my colleagues to put aside their prejudices and biases and seriously consider my proposal to restore the ancient system.

The time left for the Qin Dynasty to calmly reform is really short."

Little did Xiao Yu know that Guo Wei Liao had suddenly become the biggest "Yu blower" and was praising her crazily in the court.

After leaving Zhangtai Palace, Meng Qi began to educate her in a nagging manner.

"Fairy Yu, the Qin Empire is doomed! You just need to focus on migrating westward.

Make all kinds of preparations first, and when they are completely desperate and come to you, immediately take them to the west to establish Western Qin.

While in Xianyang, don't worry about state affairs and let them do whatever they want.

"You give good advice, but no one listens. They just think you are ignorant of the times and your words are harsh."

Xiao Yu sighed, "At least they were right about one thing. I don't know much about Xianyang or the situation in the court, but I'm still talking nonsense.

The rottenness of the Qin Dynasty is not just caused by the Queen Mother.

Probably since the reign of Emperor Ren, the development direction of the Qin Dynasty was wrong.

He only pursued the power of heaven and earth, the power of immortals, wanted to be on par with the gods, dared to fight against the heavens, dared to boast of destroying Lingshan, and wanted to control the world of both the living and the dead at the same time, but he ignored the original job of the emperor of mankind - educating the people. "

Previously, she had seen that the Li Mansion was more luxurious than the imperial palace, and she thought that Ying Zheng simply trusted Li Si.

Now she suddenly understood that Ying Zheng probably thought that the powerful and wealthy should be so luxurious.

His dynasty will be on par with the immortal dynasty and the divine dynasty of heaven.

In other words, the Great Qin he established was the divine dynasty on earth.

As long as he is more luxurious, always remains higher and bigger, and is not surpassed by his ministers, that will be enough.

"The problems of the Qin Dynasty were not caused by Queen Dowager Zhao alone. Qin lost its mandate of heaven at the end of the reign of Emperor Ren. The prophecy of 'the one who will destroy Qin is Hu' appeared decades ago. It has nothing to do with Queen Dowager Zhao.

She is indeed not a good monarch, but at least she doesn't cause trouble.

The best, keeping male favorites, loving luxury, building palaces and mausoleums. "

Meng Qi sighed, "It's the same old saying. If you don't like it, don't go and ignore them."

Xiao Yu nodded and said, “Fortunately, I am only a Heavenly Master, not a Grand Master, or a higher position.

As a Heavenly Master, I first solved the case of prophecy, then I spoke frankly to the emperor, and offended the Queen Mother and all the officials for the sake of the Qin Dynasty.

I have absolutely done my duty and have a clear conscience.

I feel very at ease and happy now. "

Meng Qi's expression became conflicted.

She had told him before that whatever position she held, she could not help but fulfill the corresponding responsibilities.

When he is the Heavenly Master, he performs the duties of the Heavenly Master; when he is the Grand Master, he performs the duties of the Grand Master.

As a Celestial Master, she was already very capable of making trouble. As a Grand Master, she could make trouble as well. However, she had a clear mind and knew that she shouldn't make trouble. She also knew that once she reached a high position, she would be unable to resist making trouble. So she simply didn't seek a high position.

How could this be possible? She must inherit his position as Grand Master!
"In fact, your performance today was very good, amazingly good!" He said seriously, "In front of the Prime Minister and the Grand Marshal, you were not at all timid, you spoke eloquently and with ease, and your demeanor convinced all the civil and military officials.

Even a cunning and treacherous person like Lao Ai, even with the support of the Queen Mother, would be at a disadvantage when facing you.

This is your first time attending court!

If you were allowed to run Xianyang for two or three years, wouldn't you have cliques everywhere, calling the shots and covering the sky with one hand? "

Although he had ulterior motives in saying this, he was absolutely sincere.

Don't underestimate the prime minister and the general just because they are not immortals.

The aura and demeanor of most immortals are far inferior to theirs.

If not, how could Li Si have supported dozens of immortals as retainers? Among them were demon immortals (divine beings who had attained enlightenment) who were similar to celestial immortals.

Take himself for example, when facing Li Si and Wei Liaozi, he felt that he lacked momentum.

And Yu Fengxian is not just being arrogant.

She was reasonable and measured, calling herself a "barbarian", but she had extraordinary manners.

She handled the entire court meeting calmly, which convinced all the ministers.

Even if she said something arrogant and rebellious, they would be ashamed and angry rather than angry.

What she said made sense, and they were willing to listen, so they felt ashamed; if they felt that she was not on the same level as them and was not worthy of questioning them, they would not feel ashamed, but would just be purely angry.

Look who she scolded in the court just now? Except for herself, everyone else was ridiculed openly or secretly.

But she came out fine.

"Fairy Yu, I am serious. You have great potential in the Xianyang court!" Meng Qi said seriously.

If he knew that at this moment in the court, Wei Liaozi transformed into "Yu Chui" and even wanted to restore the old system of the previous dynasty for "Master Yu", he would definitely be very pleased: Sure enough, I was not fooling her, there are many people with the same senses as me, and they also see her potential.
