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

Chapter 980: Egg Zhanshi
"What does Master Yu Dingtian mean?"

After saying this, Xiaoyu was stunned.

But she was stunned for only a moment, and immediately two extremely clear thoughts came to her mind: the first thought was, am I having a stroke? I am a heavenly master, not a grand master, and I cannot be a grand master; the second clear thought was, this is a prophecy!
If Xiaoyu hadn't been so resistant and sensitive to the title of "Grand Master" in her heart, there would have been only one voice echoing in her mind at this moment: "Grand Master Yu Dingtian" is a prophecy, and I said a prophecy about myself.

"No, I don't want to be a Grand Master!"

Xiaoyu quickly stood up and her eyes fell on the divine book in front of her. She was stunned again.

The page of the Divine Book of Records that was originally filled with text now only had five large characters left: Master Yu Dingtian.

"It turns out you're the one doing the trick!"

Xiaoyu grabbed the divine book of pictures and his expression became very complicated.

Now she understood completely.

If you feel sleepy while reading the illustrated divine book, you may see a prophecy in the book that represents a certain destiny in the future.

This is how Ying Zheng received the prophecy that "the one who will destroy Qin is Hu".

He understood it himself, felt it was very real, and believed the prophecy deeply in his heart.

Xiaoyu feels this way now.

Even though her mind was very resistant, she had a strong feeling in her heart that this prophecy should be true.

——I will probably become the Grand Master of the Qin Dynasty, and Grand Master Yu will "Dingtian" in the future. But what does Dingtian mean?
Xiaoyu thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure out the meaning of "Dingtian".

The prophecies that Ying Zheng realized, "The one who will destroy Qin is the Hu" and "The aura of an emperor is in the southeast", are simple and straightforward, and very easy to understand.

In fact, according to the customs of that era, prophecies were meant to be heard by ordinary people and were often very concise and direct, not prone to ambiguity.

At most there is a deviation in understanding.

For example, the "Hu" in "Hu, the one who destroyed Qin."

In the previous life, Xiao Yu thought that "Hu" was the second emperor of Qin, Hu Hai. It was Hu Hai who ruined the Qin Dynasty.

Now that she has come to Shenzhou, traveled around the city, and visited Xianyang, her ideas are different.

During the reign of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the Qin Dynasty had lost its mandate from heaven.

Ying Zheng wasted too much energy, national strength and destiny on the Hu tribes in all directions.

The Hu people did not destroy the Qin Dynasty by force, but used their own necks to "chop" the edge of the Qin Dynasty's sharp sword.

Daqin exhausted himself.

It's like a man using a knife to kill pigs. He kills 500 pigs in a row, but he dies of exhaustion before he finishes killing all the pigs.

Therefore, Xiaoyu believes that the "Hu" in "The one who will destroy Qin is Hu" refers to both the Hu tribe and Hu Hai.

Others may not agree with her and may have different understandings of "Hu".

However, this deviation in understanding does not affect the theme of the prophecy at all: "Hu" will destroy Qin.

In comparison, Master Yu Dingtian
Xiaoyu herself couldn't understand it.

You can replace "ding" with "shun", "ni" or "sheng", but it just happens to be "ding".

If the word "Ding" is followed by "Jiangshan", "Jiuzhou", "Shenzhou" or "Xiyu", it is also easy to understand.

But the word “ding” happens to be followed by “tian”.

The next morning, Xiao Yu rubbed his eyes, closed the "Lu Tu Shen Shu", and completely gave up his research on "Ding Tian".

After studying for several hours, I still have no clue.

"No matter what 'Master Yu Dingtian' means, this prophecy must not be spread.
Fortunately, this is the prophecy I realized myself.

As long as I keep silent about this matter, or even forget about it, the prophecy will not spread. "

This was the only thing that could comfort her, but she didn't want to think about it. Could it be that Ying Zheng was actively spreading the prophecy?
"Master Yu Tian, ​​are you there?"

A loud shout came from below the attic.

Xiaoyu stuck her head out of the window and saw a Terracotta Warrior with his hair in his right hand, holding a spear with the word "卜" in it, standing straight and shouting below.

"I'm here, who are you?"

The Terracotta Warrior immediately knelt on one knee and shouted, "South Gate Guard Gongsun Yaliang pays homage to Master Yu Tianshi."

After a pause, he took the initiative to explain: "Master Yu Tian, ​​His Highness Ying Gao has arrived at Zhangtai and wants to pay you a visit."

"Prince Gao" Xiaoyu looked around the small attic, feeling a little troubled.

Zhangtai Palace only had one room, but it was very tall, with the highest roof ridge more than 30 meters above the ground.

The small attic where she lives now has no stairs at all.

It is like a secret room, hidden on the beam in the northwest corner of Zhangtai Palace.

When building the Zhangtai Palace, the King of Qin never thought of installing such a secret room.

It was newly added after the sword master Jing Ke assassinated Ying Zheng.

It was a place for the immortals who protected Ying Zheng to rest, and it was not a qualified residence.

"It seems that I have to find a house outside the palace. It is not for living, but at least I can receive guests."

Xiaoyu jumped out of the small pavilion and quickly came to the gate of Zhangtai Palace.

There was no court meeting today. Although the palace gate was open, there was no one inside.

Prince Gao did not enter the palace without permission.

He stood at the door, and beside him, besides the eunuch Shadan, the fat black man Moler, there was a young man and a child.

The young man was about thirty years old and looked about 60% similar to the prince.

The child held in the young man's arms is somewhat similar to the young man.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you!" Xiao Yu bowed to the prince and apologized, "Your Highness knows the small pavilion where I live. It is not a place to entertain guests. I am really rude."

Prince Gao also bowed in return and said with a smile: "Master Yu, don't mind. I know that Master Yu has been very busy these days, and I didn't expect to see Master Yu this time. Now my wish has come true, and I am very happy."

Xiao Yu bowed again to apologize, "It's my fault for bothering Your Highness to make this trip."

After standing up straight, she explained with a sincere expression: "After Master Meng brought me into the Imperial Observatory, he has not yet assigned me a specific position.

What he meant was that he would take me to familiarize myself with the affairs of the Imperial Palace after the prophecy case was over.

I plan to confirm my position, officially start my duties, and then find some free time to formally visit His Highness at the palace."

This is indeed what she really thinks.

If it weren't for the unexpected incident of the prophecy case, she would have gone to Prince Gao's palace today.

She hasn't figured out what to do with her nephew Shadan yet, and Fat Moler will definitely be taken away.

Prince Gao sighed, "Master Yu is dedicated to his duties. He has not yet become familiar with the Imperial Observatory, but he has been working day and night to investigate the prophecy case. I can only be grateful and moved, how dare I blame her?" The two of them exchanged a few more polite words, and Prince Gao introduced her to the two princes, one big and one small.

The young man's name was "Ying Song" and he was the eldest son of Prince Gao.

The young prince "Ying Gua" is eight years old this year and is Ying Song's eldest son.

Xiao Yu clearly felt that Prince Gao wanted to help his son and grandson and get closer to her.

When introducing his children and grandchildren, he even described their academic achievements in detail, such as what books his son had read, which teachers he had followed, what level he was currently in, which master his grandson had learned from, and what kind of qigong he had practiced.
He spoke seriously, so she listened carefully and asked a few questions from time to time.

Seeing that she was listening attentively and was very concerned about the situation of her children and grandchildren, Prince Gao became even happier and spoke more seriously and carefully.

In this way, the two of them walked around Zhangtai Palace for most of an hour and chatted about family matters for most of an hour.

Finally, Prince Gao Hui dismissed the four people and whispered to Xiaoyu alone, with excitement hard to hide on his slightly chubby cheeks.

"Master Yu, have you heard? At the court meeting yesterday, the State Commandant recommended you to replace Master Meng as the Grand Master of the Great Qin! Not only that, he also wants to restore the old system of the previous dynasty."

Xiao Yu laughed awkwardly and said, "Lord Guowei praised me too much. I was very frightened when I heard that."

——You were so majestic at the court meeting yesterday. The Queen Mother and the ministers were ridiculed by you one by one. Why are you uneasy?
Prince Gao now understood her a little and knew that she was just being polite.

He stopped being polite and said directly: "Master Yu, although I don't have much authority, I do have some connections. I can help Master Yu win over some ministers so that the national commander will no longer be alone in the court."

Xiaoyu couldn't hold it anymore.

"Your Highness, please don't! Although due to various coincidences, I was unable to fulfill my promise to stay with Your Highness in the palace. But everyone knows that I am actually Your Highness's retainer.

I myself recognize this sentiment.

In ancient times, the Grand Tutor held a high position of power and influence, threatening the power of the prime minister and the emperor.

If the Prime Minister is unhappy, the Queen Mother will certainly be unhappy too.

If Your Highness helps me with connections, they will misunderstand that Your Highness has other intentions.
Regardless of whether His Highness has other thoughts or not, he should not let them misunderstand him."

Prince Gao was stunned for a moment, feeling both happy and a little frightened.

"Master Yu, I really don't have any other thoughts. I simply agree with the judgment of Grand Tutor Meng and Lord Guowei - Master Yu can save Daqin." He said hurriedly.

"Alas, we should be careful and cautious among melon fields and plum trees!" Xiaoyu sighed.

Prince Gao was entangled and said, "In fact, I did not do anything beyond the rules. Even if Master Yu went to see the princes in person and asked them for help, it was normal behavior. Others often do this to get in touch with others, so I can understand it."

Xiao Yu waved her hand and said, "If he is a normal 'Grand Master', it is normal to run around for connections.

It is abnormal for the Grand Tutor to be above the Three Dukes.

I don't want that much power, nor should I.

If virtue does not match one's position, disaster will surely follow. "

"Lord Guowei and Grand Tutor Meng both think that Master Yu is worthy of the title. I believe in them and I believe in you too," said the prince.

——That guy Guowei Liao is probably the same as old man Meng, he also wants to run away, and he wants to drag me into the hole before he runs away!
Xiao Yu was suspicious, but said, "The Prime Minister is so experienced and the lieutenant is so smart, how could they not know about the bad policies I pointed out at the court? If they are really determined, there is no need to appoint another 'Grand Master'.

If they don't have the resolve, setting up a 'Grand Master' who is above the three dukes will still be a castle in the air and a mirage."

It is actually the simplest thing to do.

Ordinary people on the street can talk freely.

The key is to take action.

If they are willing to cooperate, they can do it well without her.

They are unwilling to cooperate, can she go against the will of heaven alone?

After chatting with Prince Gao about court affairs for a while, he left with his children and grandchildren.

Leave time and space for Fat Moler and Shadan.

"Oh, you two have grown up." Xiaoyu touched Shadan's head, feeling deeply moved.

When we parted ten years ago, Danzi was just a sturdy child, less than three years old. Now he has grown into a thin teenager.

He is about 1.7 meters tall and skinny, just like the male star "Liu Xing" in his previous life. He looks as honest as he did ten years ago.

I just don't know whether he is really honest or just being cunning.

Xiaoyu guessed that his adopted nephew was a simple-minded but shrewd person.

After being influenced by the Xianyang Palace for ten years, even a simple-minded person will become cunning.

"Aunt Yu" Shadan's eyes were moist. She wanted to be as close to her as she was when they were children, but she didn't dare to offend her aunt who was now as noble as a fairy.

In fact, in his eyes, Aunt Yu had also changed a lot.

Not only his age and appearance, but also his temperament and identity are completely different from before. If he hadn't been sure of his identity, he wouldn't have dared to recognize him.

After all, he was only three years old when they separated and he didn't remember much.

"Danzi, how have you been through these years?"

Aunt Yu felt a little distressed when she saw her adopted nephew, who was already "physically disabled but mentally strong", and her tone became much gentler.

Feeling the familiar love in his aunt's eyes, Danzi finally couldn't hold back his tears and said in a sobbing voice: "Aunt, I have been doing well these years, but I miss you in my heart.

After I separated from you, those people bullied me, beat me, and stole my steamed buns.

But I always remembered my aunt's teachings, so I just held my head and let them hit me, reciting "Serve the Emperor with Loyalty" in my mouth.

Later, they got tired of my slogans, started swearing and saying a lot of unpleasant things, and were hung up and beaten by the general of the Protectorate.

Several people didn't make it.

When my aunt became famous in Western Shu, the Divine Mace Guard helped me to get me transferred from the stable to His Highness Gao's side.

I eat well and sleep well, no one bullies me, and His Highness takes good care of me.

I am now working as a 'Prince's Secretary' in the palace.

Before the little prince was born, I helped him lead the horse; after he was born, I took care of his daily life, his studies and martial arts training."

Although Danzi hasn't seen Aunt Yu in these years, he has been enjoying her protection all the time.

The "little foreign dragon" who entered Shenzhou with him was truly the most ordinary, lowest-level servant in each royal palace.

Not to mention compared with "Danzi Zhanshi", many of them did not survive.

Those who are still alive today even try to use their connections to get in touch with Danzi Zhanshi, and ask "Danzi Eunuch" to be their backer because they are from the same hometown.

Danzi himself felt that apart from the somewhat unacceptable issue of slaughtering chickens, life in Xianyang was like heaven and hell compared to the past.

Xianyang is too prosperous, and he lives in the prince's palace. Aunt Yu, who is the prince's relative and loves her nephew very much, should really go and take a look at the mansion of "Eunuch Danzi".

Her current living quarters and food are worse than Danzi's.
