Chapter 24: Refusing to admit it
"Open the door, I want to see your Majesty, open the door, I want to see your Majesty..." Xu Fu shouted loudly in the room.
The few Black Dragon Guards outside the door turned a deaf ear to Xu Fu's yelling.
The First Emperor had spoken. If Xu Fu escaped, they would pay with their lives.
Zhang Han also gave instructions that they were not allowed to listen to any confusing words from Xu Fu, and they were not allowed to leave without orders.
Xu Fu didn't know that he had been shouting in the room to see the First Emperor Ying Zheng, because only by meeting the First Emperor could he use his sharp tongue to convince the First Emperor to believe in him.
Xu Fu knew that only if the First Emperor believed in his words could he survive and his people survive.
Even though he knew that no matter how he shouted, the Black Dragon Guards outside the door would not pay attention to him, and the First Emperor would not come to see him.
But this was his last chance to save his life, and he couldn't do it without shouting.
Just when Xu Fu's throat was about to become hoarse, he heard the voice of hope.
"See Your Majesty."
When the Black Dragon Guards at the door saw Ying Zheng, they saluted at the same time. Their voices gave Xu Fu hope.
He walked to the door excitedly, knelt down directly, and shouted loudly: "I am here to see your majesty."
After Ying Zheng saw Xu Fu, he sneered: "Weak minister? Shouldn't he be a guilty minister?"
"Your Majesty, I have not deceived Your Majesty, nor do I dare to deceive Your Majesty. Golden elixir does have the effect of prolonging life, and there is indeed an elixir of immortality on the overseas fairy mountains." Xu Fu said immediately.
He must not let Ying Zheng doubt himself. Once he doubts himself, he will definitely die miserably.
"Xu Fu, now that you refuse to tell the truth, are you really not afraid that my general will exterminate your clan?" Ying Zheng said harshly.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has always told the truth. He has never deceived your Majesty, nor dared to deceive him." Xu Fu said.
"The ships are ready. There are only three sea ships, not three thousand boys and girls, and no gold and silver treasures. There are only you and your tribe." Ying Zheng sneered.
"No, Your Majesty." Xu Fu buried his head on the ground and said in fear, "Your Majesty, these three thousand boys and girls are not for humble ministers, but for the immortals overseas.
This represents His Majesty's determination to ask for the elixir of life and his sincerity towards the immortal. Without these three thousand boys and girls and the gold and silver treasures, I am afraid that Wei Chen would not be able to obtain the elixir of immortality even if he went overseas. "
"Sincerity? Determination?" Ying Zheng's face was filled with murderous intent, "Isn't my sincerity and my determination not enough?
In order to refine the golden elixir for you Xu Fu, you can use whatever is in the treasury at will. If there is nothing in the treasury, I will search the country to ensure that you will find what you need.
The entire Qin Dynasty is giving everything for my immortality.
So, do you dare to say that I have no determination and no sincerity? "
"Wei Chen doesn't dare." Xu Fu quickly explained, "Wei Chen can certainly feel your Majesty's sincerity and determination, but these three thousand boys and girls are not for Wei Chen, but for overseas immortals.
In order for the overseas immortals to receive His Majesty's sincerity and determination, these three thousand boys and girls are the only ones.
Without these three thousand boys and girls, I would not have been able to obtain the elixir of immortality even if I went overseas and met the immortals. Please do not delay the important matter of obtaining the elixir of immortality because of these three thousand boys and girls. "
Zhang Han, who was on the side, thought to himself: "Good guy, how long has this been, and you are still thinking about three thousand boys and girls? Do you know that His Majesty already knows that you are a liar?
If there hadn't been a boat, you and your people would have sunk into the sea to feed the fish by now. "
"Are you sure there are immortals and elixirs of immortality overseas?" Ying Zheng asked.
Damn it, Your Majesty, what does this mean? Does your Majesty still think about immortality? Zhang Han panicked.
When Xu Fu heard this, he was overjoyed. The First Emperor has not given up on immortality yet.
As long as the First Emperor does not give up, he will have a chance.
"Your Majesty, I am very sure that there is Penglai Immortal Island overseas. Immortals live on the Immortal Island, and the immortals have the elixir of immortality in their hands.
As long as I take a boat to Penglai Island, I will definitely get the elixir of immortality for your majesty. "Xu Fu said very convincingly.
"Hahaha..." Ying Zheng laughed angrily, "Xu Fu, let me tell you, someone has proven that the golden elixir you refined is poisonous."
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible." Xu Fu said, "I dare not poison Your Majesty, even if I have the courage to do so.
Although the golden elixir refined by Wei Chen cannot lead to immortality, it has the effect of prolonging life. Every time His Majesty takes the golden elixir, he is radiant and energetic. This is the best proof.
Moreover, I am willing to confront those who say that the golden elixir is poisonous, and I hope that your majesty will do so. "
Ying Zheng thought for a while and said: "Let me think about this matter again. You can stay here for the time being. There is no need to go anywhere."
"No." Xu Fu responded excitedly.
What? Your Majesty is not going to deal with Xu Fu? Could it be that Your Majesty still has doubts about what you said? Zhang Han was filled with doubts.
When he saw Ying Zheng leaving, he immediately followed him.
"Your Majesty." Zhang Han asked, "Why don't you deal with Xu Fu?"
Ying Zheng sneered and said, "When did I say I wouldn't deal with him?"
"Then why did your majesty think about it just now? Does your majesty plan to take Xu Fu to see your husband?" Zhang Han said.
"Meet sir?" Ying Zheng sneered, "Is he worthy? Zhang Han, I know what you mean, but I can't hear from Xu Fu that he deceived me. I am always a little unwilling."
"But Xu Fu insists that he has not deceived Your Majesty, and even the ministers have nothing to do with him." Zhang Han said, "The golden elixir is indeed poisonous, but it cannot kill people immediately. It only poisoned some chickens and ducks. I'm afraid Xu Fu would have I have already thought of countermeasures, so I am always confident.”
"I know. I could have asked the ministers in the court about this matter, but no, I can't let them know that I was deceived, otherwise my wisdom will be completely lost." Ying Zheng said angrily.
Otherwise, with the wisdom of the court officials, it would be impossible to figure out Xu Fu, but they couldn't ask, which gave Ying Zheng a very headache.
"Then your Majesty, you can ask your husband." Zhang Han said, "Sir, you must have a solution."
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "You are right. This matter can only be dealt with by Mr. He will definitely have a way. Tomorrow, you go with me."
"promise."
At this moment, Zhao Gao trotted in.
"See Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Zhao Gao, why are you so panicked?"
"Reporting to your majesty, there is a man named Lu who is ignorant and insults your majesty in the street. My servant has sent people to capture him."
…
Fusu was influenced by Zhang Han and Chun Yuyue, so he went to the prison today to visit the Confucian scholars.
In the prison, those Confucian scholars kept begging Fusu to save them, which made Fusu, who was originally compassionate, at a loss.
In the end, he relented and agreed to just those Confucian scholars.
