"Swoosh!"
With a soft swoosh, the Imperial Army soldiers on both sides of the street no longer obstructed him, instead opening up a wide path.
Looking down the street, it was a large-scale burial team. From afar, it was a piece of pickaxe.
"His Majesty did not lie to us. He really agreed to let us peasants follow behind him.”
"That's great. We can finally send the former king off on his last journey. Otherwise, our conscience won't be able to live with it.”
"Who says so? Without Empress Dowager Xuan and the previous king, Great Qin might still be in a state of internal strife.”
The commoners who had come felt quite good about the new King and felt happy for Great Qin.
"One by one, consciously line up…"
After knowing that they had agreed to follow behind the line, no one went to the front. The commoners did not make a fuss. On the contrary, they consciously formed a long line.
This was one of the benefits of using Legalism to govern the country. It had certain restrictions on the people in the territory.
Of course, there were also some drawbacks. Sometimes, it would make people feel suffocated.
"If I have the chance, I really want to see the current king with my own eyes, the king who thinks for the common people.”
The person who spoke was a delicate and pretty woman with a hint of tenacity between her brows. She looked quite stunning.
It was obvious that he had witnessed the entire process of the matter and witnessed the efficient way it was handled.
"Is this the popular sentiment that father often talks about, and the most important public sentiment?”
The voices of discussion coming from the rear of the troop echoed in his ears. Little Ying Zheng turned his head in the direction of the voice and muttered to himself.
Previously, he thought that if he learned martial arts and literary talent, including politics and the concept of governing the country, he would be able to reach the same level as his father.
Now, it seemed that they had overlooked an extremely important factor, which was the people's will and the people's hearts. They were the foundation that Great Qin could not do without!
"You're worth teaching…"
Sensing that he had discovered his eldest son, Ying Rui nodded. There were some things that Zheng 'er had to comprehend on his own.
Therefore, he did not interrupt the First Born who was thinking, giving him more time to receive new insights.
"Father, Zheng 'er believes that the people's hearts and will are the foundation of a country's stability.”
"Therefore, when implementing some national policies, we must also consider the people and not blindly promote them.”
Something that happened on the way gave Little Ying Zheng a lot of inspiration, and he saw something that he had not noticed before.
Only now did he realize that things were not that simple.
"That's right. To govern a big country, one needs to consider all aspects, and the people are one of them.”
Hearing such a unique insight, Ying Rui gave a great affirmation. It could be said that he agreed with his eldest son's insight today.
"Father, I will definitely work harder to improve my shortcomings.”
Although he did not say it out loud, Little Ying Zheng had secretly made up his mind that he would never be satisfied with the current situation.
"We have arrived at the Zhi Mausoleum of Mount Li. Let the burial ceremony begin!”
As the huge team arrived at Mount Li, the Emperor Ying Rui announced the start of the burial of the fourth generation Yu Lie, King Qin Zhaoxiang, in Zhi Ling.
“………”
Zhiling was located at the western foot of Mount Li, starting from Hongqing Valley in the south and ending at Wujia Valley in the north. It was situated between a hill.
The east side of this place was facing the entire Mount Li, and the west side just happened to face the Ba River near Xianyang. It looked very majestic.
"Great Qin's ruler, civil officials, and commoners, bow!”
When it was nearing the end, a loud shout suddenly sounded, representing the bow of the former king.
“………”
Immediately after, Ying Rui, Cai Ze, Wang He, and the other civil and military officials, as well as the commoners who had come with him, all gathered together.
Facing the tomb where King Zhaoxiang of Qin was buried, each of them bowed with both hands and maintained the posture for about half an incense stick of time.
"Great-grandfather, Zheng 'er will definitely learn well from father and reach the same level as soon as possible…"
After experiencing the recent events, Little Ying Zheng had become more mature than before, and was now talking to his great-grandfather in silence.
"My lord, if I am lucky enough to survive, I will still fight for Great Qin.”
Baiqi, who was also present, hid among the crowd of commoners. He was a soldier with a firm and unyielding character, but he still shed a tear.
"Father, have a safe journey."
Her father treated her quite well. From the matter of conferring the title of Empress Dowager, it could be seen that Empress Dowager Hua Yang was filled with waves of sadness.
"The ceremony is over!"
A moment later, another sound spread to the surroundings. Today's burial ceremony ended.
"Return to the palace…"
Immediately after, the huge group returned to the Qin Emperor's palace.
"Your Majesty, you have encountered many challenges when you first ascended the throne.”
Even if there was a 90% chance of her becoming a princess consort, the two previous events were still fresh in her mind, and she could not be happy at all.
"Those are all part of the country's affairs. How is it hard? You don't have to worry too much.”
Hearing this, Ying Rui, who was sitting at the side, turned his head and gently patted her soft, jade-like hands.
"As long as His Majesty is around, ChenQie has always been at ease and does not have any worries.”
Seeing this, Zhao Ji's heart warmed up, and her beautiful dimples curled up.
"Oh right, Your Majesty, this is a sachet used to refresh yourself.”
When she was resting, she remembered that she had something to give her husband. She looked up and took out a sachet from her sleeve.
He had not closed his eyes since last night.
"Did you make this yourself?"
Ying Rui glanced at the sachet in his hand and realized that it didn't look that exquisite. He looked at Concubine Zhao, who was right in front of him.
"This is ChenQie's first time trying to make it, and I've made a fool of myself in front of the king. Next time, I'll try to make it better.”
She thought that her husband said that because he thought it wasn't exquisite, and a hint of disappointment flashed across Lady Zhao's red phoenix eyes.
"It's fine. I'll take it."
It didn't matter if it was exquisite or not. What Ying Rui valued was the concern. He smiled and said.
With his grandfather's death, his father's illness, and his mother's early death, he cherished those feelings even more.
However, there was some news about the medicine that he had ordered the members of the North Branch of the Black Ice Platform to find.
He believed that not long after, his father would recover from his illness and not die like in history.
"That's great!"
Seeing that her husband had accepted it, there was no disappointment left in her. All that was left was sweetness in her heart.
"In addition, when there are only the two of us, we can address each other as husband and wife.”
Looking at his wife who was acting like a little girl, Ying Rui's smile became even wider.
Unknowingly, her memories returned to that time ten years ago, when she had just started following him.
"Yes, husband, ChenQie will change her words in the future.”
Feeling the love in her words, Lady Zhao's beautiful face was filled with gentleness as she answered yes.
Even though she had become Great Qin's ruler, she had not changed at all.
