Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-Seven: Ordered by Heaven, Longevity and Prosperity
At this moment, Xu Qingsheng sat on the ground with no desire, while Xu Qing's face was covered with flour by Long Binger and Xiao Ruxue. Long Binger also played with the word "Wang" on Xu Qing's forehead with his fingers.
It's like a tiger.
Xu Qing really couldn't imagine that she just pinched... and pinched Long Binger's hand a few times, and today she was ruined into this way...
It took half an hour!
Do you know what he experienced in this half hour?!
Sure enough, you have to pay it back if you come out...
So is the little girl, how did she make a vow with herself?
It is so easy to turn against Long Binger.
Sure enough, everything is fake for a lifetime!
Women are all big pig's hooves!
Xu Qing expressed his dissatisfaction with Long Binger in his heart, then washed his face and began to make mooncakes, not for the sake of Long Binger and Xiao Ruxue, the two edible mouths that were also for himself.
I have never eaten five-nut mooncakes in a year. I miss you so much!
Xiao Ruxue looked at Xu Qing making the mooncakes into doughs and asked impatiently: "Xu Qing, Xu Qing, can you bake it?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said, "It's still a little short."
Xiao Ruxue looked at the mooncake that looked like a full moon and said puzzledly: "A little bit? What's the difference?"
Xu Qing said: "The mooncakes will be marked with auspicious words, such as the flowers are full of the moon, eternal and so on, but it's a pity that we haven't prepared these in advance. Let's make do with it this time."
Xiao Ruxue suddenly thought of something and raised her hand and said, "I've brought it, I've brought it, I have a seal!"
Xu Qing said in surprise: "You have also brought the seal? What seal? Take it over and take a look."
After Xiao Ruxue agreed, she stood up and returned to her room, took out a small box from the bag, and took out a jade seal from it.
If you observe carefully, you can still see that there are still some remaining walnut kernels on this seal. I believe that the little girl must have used this thing to smash walnuts a lot when she was at home.
After Xiao Ruxue washed the seal in her hand, she ran back and covered the dough that looked like a full moon, and then raised her hand.
Eight big words suddenly appeared on the dough: Become the command of heaven and live forever.
Then Xiao Ruxue put the jade seal next to him, looked at Xu Qing and Long Binger and asked, "So? How about it? It's still in seal characters!"
Xu Qing looked at the eight big words on the mooncake and couldn't help swallowing: "Xue'er, why did you bring even the National Seal?"
Even Long Bing'er, who was standing beside him, was slightly stunned when she saw these eight words, and then seemed to remember something and looked at Xu Qing worriedly.
Even if you can play with Xueer, you can give me more money, will the wise king really be willing to marry?
"No, no." Xiao Ruxue shook his head when he heard Xu Qing's words, "This is not the national seal. The national seal is still with the emperor's uncle. When I smashed walnuts with the national seal, I smashed them for a long time before I opened one. It was too difficult. Then, for the sake of convenience, my father found another piece of jade and carved a seal like this. Although it is not as gentle as the jade seal, it is really much more useful to smash walnuts in this seal than the national seal!"
Xu Qing: “…”
Long Binger: "..."
The jade seal can be carved at will, and the little girl’s family is really willful.
Xu Qing suddenly felt that the little girl's seal immediately increased the value of the mooncake several times. I don't know if there is a market for selling it at a high price. If there is really, what kind of national business school he still opens?
Just pull Xiao Ruxueyin Mooncakes and forget about it.
If you are ordered by heaven, the moon cakes that will last forever will definitely be better than flowers and the moon cakes that will last forever will be higher in size.
Xiao Ruxue looked at Xu Qing and asked, "What does it mean to be ordered by heaven? Why do you have to carve this on the national seal?"
Xu Qing said: "Abide by the will of heaven and become the emperor; make the people live long and the country's fortune prosper forever."
Xiao Ruxue frowned and said, "According to the will of heaven, become the emperor?"
Xu Qing asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Xiao Ruxue said: "I don't like the first sentence, so I don't want to follow the destiny of heaven. Didn't you say in your book that my destiny is up to me? The emperor is the son of heaven?"
Long Bing'er, who was standing beside him, was surprised when he heard Xiao Ruxue's words. It was something that many people dream of becoming the emperor, and Xue'er even disliked this title.
Xu Qing smiled and said, "Who told you that the emperor is the son of heaven?"
When Xiao Ruxue heard what Xu Qing said, she couldn't help but wonder: "Don't that mean?"
Xu Qing gave an example and said: "Look, from ancient times to the present, Confucius, Laozi, Mozi, Zhuangzi, Han Feizi, you see, these are all figures from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and no one translated the 'zi' here as a son. At that time, including now, it should be a kind of respectful title, not a son."
Xiao Ruxue said thoughtfully: "That emperor is not the son of God?"
Xu Qing said: "If we understand it according to the meaning of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the 'Zi' in the emperor is probably also a kind of respectful title. If you omit the 'Zi', there is only one word 'tian'."
Xiao Ruxue suddenly realized: "So, the emperor means that the emperor can call himself heaven, and adding a 'son' is just a respectful title?"
Xu Qing said: "I don't think anyone is idle and likes to be a son for others."
Xiao Ruxue asked, "What about being ordered by heaven? Or being merciless by heaven."
Xu Qing shook his head and said, "There is another saying that the first word of the national seal carved by the First Emperor is not to bear the 'receive, but to teach the 'emmit', 'giving the 'emmit to the heaven'. The emperor gave the voluntary to heaven, rather than the emperor endorsed the voluntary to heaven. The jade seal of the First Emperor disappeared in the long river of history. Later, when emperors of all generations carved the jade seal themselves, they carved it wrongly, and then they lowered the sky for no reason..."
Xiao Ruxue suddenly realized, then looked at Xu Qing with admiration: "So that's the case. You are so awesome and know a lot!"
Feeling Princess Yongle's admiring gaze, Xu Qing's vanity was greatly satisfied, but he seemed to be afraid of teaching the children badly. He added: "Don't look at me like this. This is just my personal opinion, not necessarily true. I just think that a person as proud as Qin Shihuang should disdain to say that he was under the mission of heaven, but instead gave Tianfeng a name more generous."
If you give your mission to heaven, you will live forever.
