Chapter 5 Cause of Death of the First Emperor
You must know that this is what Qin Shihuang Yingzheng is most taboo about. Although you have said that the First Emperor will die, you cannot say that he died by taking the golden elixir.
In order to achieve the goal of immortality, he will do whatever it takes to concentrate the whole country's efforts on the golden elixir.
In order to refine the golden elixir, the imperial court's annual cost of raising those alchemists could be equivalent to an army of 100,000 men.
Even so, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty did not dare to mention that the golden elixir was useless. Not to mention poisonous.
Anyone who mentioned this matter has been beheaded.
Qin An now recklessly mentions this matter, which is more serious than directly saying that Ying Zheng will die.
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Sir, how did those experts verify it?"
"Of course it was tested. The idea of immortality was not only shared by the First Emperor, but also by almost every emperor in the past.
Even the extremely enlightened Tang Taizong Li Shimin died while refining alchemy in his later years.
So experts discovered a golden elixir in an ancient tomb. After testing, they found that the golden elixir contains a large amount of heavy metals. Eating too much will cause a decline in the digestive system and liver function.
To put it simply, it means nausea, headache, diarrhea, etc. "
Ying Zheng's expression changed. He had all the symptoms Qin An mentioned just now.
Could it be that my recent headaches and frequent stomachaches are due to the golden elixir thing? No, absolutely not. The national master will never do it, and he will not dare to lie to me.
He looked at Qin An and asked: "Sir, as far as I know, the national master Xu Fu is a descendant of the Xian family. He will never and dare not deceive the First Emperor."
"He can't lie? Pull him down." Qin An said very speechlessly.
Then he put his hand on Ying Zheng's shoulder and said seriously: "Comrade Village Chief, although I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that about your ancestors, but there's nothing I can do about it. The First Emperor really had too many dreams of immortality. You're so funny, that's why you believe Xu Mansion, this big liar."
"You said Xu Fu was a liar. How dare he deceive the First Emperor? Isn't he afraid that the First Emperor would kill him if he found out that Xu Fu had lied to him?"
"Nonsense, Xu Fu said that he can refine the elixir of life, so he can really refine it? The most important thing is immortality. If there really is an elixir of life in the world, who is willing to give it up?
And since Xu Fu is a liar, how could he leave no escape route? "
"What do you mean, sir, that Xu Fu ran away?" Ying Zheng said.
"kindness."
Li Si said: "That's not right. The whole world belongs to the Qin Dynasty. Where can Xu Fu go?"
Qin An said with a smile: "Just go to a place where Da Qin can't control it.
In his later years, the First Emperor felt that his health was clearly failing, so he forced Xu Fu to refine the elixir of life.
Xu Fu was forced to say that there is a fairy island in the East China Sea, and there are immortals on the island. The immortals have the elixir of life in their hands. Just to show his sincerity, he needs 3,000 boys and girls, plus 20 ships of grain and grass, and 20 ships of gold. Silver treasures, many craftsmen, seeds, etc. accompanied them.
In order to live forever, let alone three thousand boys and girls, even thirty thousand will be given.
In this way, Xu Fu went to sea and went to a country that would later be called Xiaoli, and this country would later cause unforgivable crimes against China.
If I have the chance, I will definitely kill Xu Fu first, prevent him from living a small life, and eliminate this threat early. "
For some reason, everyone felt that Qin An had an unforgettable feeling of hatred and anger when he talked about his childhood.
How much sin did this little day bring to China.
After Qin An recovered his emotions, he continued: "Xu Fu's greatest skill is to grasp the psychology of the First Emperor and know that the First Emperor wants to live forever.
So he refined a large amount of golden elixirs, and after eating these golden elixirs for the First Emperor, Xu Fu would be safe as long as the First Emperor did not die.
Even if the First Emperor's health deteriorated due to the golden elixir, no one dared to say that his health was caused by the golden elixir.
Neither Prime Minister Li Si on the left nor Prime Minister Feng Quji on the right, not even Meng Tian who grew up with the First Emperor, nor General Wang Jian dared to say.
Even if they knew this, they would not dare to say it. Whoever said it would die, and the entire clan would die. "
Li Si and others' expressions changed. Do they dare to speak?
Don't dare. They dare not say.
Whether it's for themselves or for the family members, they don't dare to say anything.
When Ying Zheng heard this, he was distraught and his mood became very heavy.
This Xu Fu is really good at calculating.
Unexpectedly, I, the First Emperor, swept through the six kingdoms, unified the world, and achieved a hegemony that no one in the world could achieve.
Such a wise and powerful man, admired by thousands of people, was fooled around by a little Xu Fu.
Xu Fu is like an ant. If I crush him to death, it will be as easy as crushing an ant to death.
But I died at the hands of such an ant, and I really hate it.
"You bastard, you are such a bastard." Ying Zheng roared in his heart.
"Hey, buddy, seeing how angry you are, people who don't know may think you were deceived by Xu Fu." Qin An said.
Wasn't it because he was deceived?
Everyone said in unison in their hearts.
The corners of Li Si's mouth twitched and he thought to himself: Can you not be angry? He didn't seek immortality, but was killed instead. How ironic. If he didn't smash the bowl in front of you, it was still a relationship that His Majesty was holding back.
"Sir, I will verify whether what you said is true." Ying Zheng said solemnly.
Then he looked at Li Si and the others and ordered: "Li Si, follow me. Zhang Han, you stay to protect your husband. If your husband has any request, you must satisfy him. If you don't have any requests in the village, go to me outside the village."
"No." Li Si and Zhang Han said at the same time.
When Qin An saw Ying Zheng and the others were leaving, he immediately chased them.
"Village chief, are you leaving the village?"
Ying Zheng said: "Yes, we have things outside the village. If you have anything, sir, you can ask Zhang Han and the others to inform me."
"Okay, but I need some carpenters to help me make tables and chairs, and help me find masons to build a house.
See if there is a brick and tile business next door and buy some bricks and tiles.
No, no, it’s not right to let you spend money without helping you get rich. Let’s talk about the house later.
Find some carpenters for me first. "
Qin An realistically decided, then denied, and finally confirmed.
Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Han and said, "I'll leave this matter to you."
"No." Zhang Han said, clasping his fists.
Ying Zheng said: "Sir, just give your orders to the people here, and they will definitely obey your arrangements."
Qin An looked at the villagers on the side and said, "Okay, comrade village chief, be careful along the way. The mountain roads here are rugged and it is not convenient to walk at night."
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Li Si, let's go."
"promise."
