Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield Chapter 827 Chapter 336: The New Year's Eve! Universal Celebration!
Previously on Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield...
A new year dawns!
A new Qin emerges!
A completely fresh era begins!
Within the grand Xianyang City.
The city is illuminated resplendently tonight.
The entirety of Xianyang City is bedecked in lights and festive decorations, commemorating the New Year collectively.
Every marketplace buzzes with lively chatter and jubilant activity.
As the Qin Dynasty unifies Shenzhou, ushering in an era of unprecedented stability.
Diverse national policies are enacted, leading to a period of prosperity for the Qin populace, with ample wealth and abundant harvests. Provided one applies themselves diligently, starvation is averted, and no household faces destitution.
Presently.
The Qin secures the nation, actively promotes commerce, and fosters the establishment of various workshops.
Shenzhou has already witnessed a profound transformation.
With the concurrent advancement of the Martial Arts and the Immortal Path, even though mere months have elapsed, the essential resources for these pursuits are being vigorously sought after by shrewd merchants.
For instance, rare spirit grasses and potent medicinal herbs, many of which are crucial for the art of alchemy.
Widespread cultivation is also taking root among the general population.
Owing to the innovative cultivation methodologies, Qin is experiencing a novel form of progress.
"Brother Zhao, I have been informed that you have attained the Postnatal Triple Realm in Martial Arts?"
"Hahaha, it was by fortunate chance, perhaps my innate potential is quite superior. After merely a few months of dedicated cultivation, I have already grasped the core principles of Martial Arts. My future prospects appear exceedingly bright."
"Brother Cheng, have you stepped onto the Immortal Path?"
"Alas, I lack the necessary Spirit Root, rendering the path of Immortality inaccessible to me. I can only pursue the way of Martial Arts."
"Do not despair, for the Imperial Court has proclaimed that whether one follows the Martial Arts or the Immortal Path, both ultimately lead to the Pathway to Longevity. Moreover, the Martial Arts, being the unique creation of the Crown Prince, promises even greater accomplishments."
"Indeed, that is true."
"Now that both the Martial Arts and the Immortal Path have emerged, in the coming future, our Qin shall possess a formidable competitive edge. I aspire to seize this opportune moment, and once martial achievements are secured, a prosperous future awaits."
"Precisely."
"His Majesty and our esteemed Crown Prince are benevolent rulers, showering grace upon all the people. We, the citizens of Qin, are bound by duty to pledge our unwavering allegiance to Qin, remaining loyal to His Majesty and the Crown Prince."
"Naturally, that is our solemn obligation."
"Nonetheless, one must still endeavor to earn a good living. If one could procure spiritual medicines and spirit grass for consumption, it would significantly bolster one's Martial Arts cultivation."
"Indeed..."
...
In bygone years, as the end of the year approached.
The populace would naturally engage in discussions about their increasingly secure and flourishing lives, offering effusive praise to the First Emperor and the Crown Prince. Currently, the prestige of both Ying Zheng and Zhao Feng across Shenzhou has ascended to unimaginable heights.
Ying Zheng is revered by the people as a legendary emperor for all time.
The accolades of future generations have already found resonance within this present era.
Meanwhile, Zhao Feng is hailed as the most extraordinary Crown Prince in history, also recognized as the revered Martial Ancestor.
Upon the grand plaza adjacent to the Morning Discussion Hall within the Imperial Palace.
Today's atmosphere is exceptionally vibrant and celebratory.
High-ranking court ministers and their lawful consorts, along with the provincial governors and prefectural governors' legitimate wives from the Nine Provinces and Thirty-Six Counties,
have all received an imperial decree summoning them to convene within the hallowed grounds of the Imperial Palace.
Within the confines of the Imperial Palace.
Temple officials and diligent palace maids are ceaselessly occupied, with large urns of meticulously brewed, exquisite wine from the renowned Immortals' Liquor House being conveyed to every designated location.
Following Zhao Feng's reclamation of his rightful identity and his triumphant return to Qin, the Immortals' Liquor House has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving from a humble civilian establishment into a prestigious imperial enterprise, its presence now extending across the globe, with branches opened worldwide.
However, the truly finest vintages are exclusively reserved for the consumption of the imperial family.
Out on the plaza.
A multitude of ministers, accompanied by their families, engage in animated conversations, fostering a palpable sense of liveliness and enthusiastic camaraderie.
And situated somewhat apart.
Fusu, accompanied by his wife and their two children, maintains a position on one side.
Having shed the burdens of vying for power, Fusu now lives in complete relaxation, fully devoted to his union with Li Si's daughter, and together they have been blessed with a pair of children.
The historically foretold tragedy that awaited Fusu has, subsequent to Zhao Feng's intervention, been supplanted by a new and promising life.
"Second Brother, it has been a considerable time since we last met."
"Indeed, Second Brother seems quite transformed in recent times."
"It is undeniably so."
"Formerly, Second Brother exuded the refined aura of a scholarly gentleman, but now, he carries the commanding presence of a high-ranking official."
"Haha, that is indeed the case."
A gathering of the imperial family's younger princes surrounds Fusu, playfully teasing him with warm smiles.
"Fifth Brother, Seventh Brother, Ninth Brother, you gentlemen remain unchanged. Though you have grown, your spirits are as lively as ever."
Fusu responds with a gentle smile.
"Now that we are free from our former anxieties, it is only natural that we remain true to our inherent natures."
"Qin has truly undergone a monumental transformation now; the eldest brother's capabilities are simply astounding," Ying Gao remarked, his voice filled with immense admiration and deep reverence.
"Indeed."
"With the eldest brother at the helm, Qin's changes have been nothing short of extraordinary. I never fathomed we would one day tread the path of seeking immortality and longevity. All of this is owed to the eldest brother," Jiang Lv added, his face beaming with sincere reverence.
As the years have unfurled.
Fusu has been diligently governing a regional domain.
Ying Zheng's numerous sons have all attained adulthood; even the youngest is now sixteen or seventeen years old.
Under Ying Zheng's strategic arrangements, they have commenced their service within the official ranks, contributing to the military's strength.
"Indeed."
"The transformations the eldest brother has orchestrated for Qin over these years have been truly vast." Fusu echoed, his words carrying profound reverence.
As a provincial governor, though not stationed in Xianyang but rather in the state capital, Fusu, with each decree issued, naturally gains the earliest awareness.
The implementation of national policies.
The practice of benevolent governance.
The widespread allegiance of the populace.
A prosperous nation with flourishing citizens.
The golden age that Fusu had once longed for in his heart is now being forged through the efforts of his Imperial Father and eldest brother.
"Second Brother."
"Are you faring well in the Northern Frontier?"
Ying Gao inquired with evident concern.
"Very well."
"Governing the territory of a province is a power bestowed by Imperial Father and eldest brother. Being outside the capital allows for a better understanding of our Qin people."
"To be able to utilize one's abilities for the benefit of a region is a most fulfilling endeavor," Fusu replied with a smile.
One could discern.
He held his duty as a provincial governor in high regard and found deep personal satisfaction in it.
"Second Brother can finally realize his aspirations."
Many of the younger brothers chuckled in agreement.
At this precise moment!
Li Si approached them with a measured pace.
Upon observing his arrival.
A significant number of the imperial family's young lords respectfully made way.
"Greetings, Father-in-law."
Fusu immediately inclined his head in a bow towards Li Si.
"Greetings, Father."
Li Rou promptly followed suit, bowing respectfully.
Upon seeing both Fusu and Li Rou, a warm smile graced Li Si's countenance.
In times past.
Li Si's most profound regret had centered around his daughter.
