The First Emperor erected a stone carving on the seaside praising the virtues of Qin. The article stipulated the relationship between husband and wife: if a woman remarries with children, she will be executed; if a man engages in extramarital affairs, he will not be killed; if a woman escapes from marriage, her future children can disown her mother.
In fact, all these are his last efforts for the foundation of the Qin Dynasty. He also has another purpose for this eastward journey, which is to gather the Qin army of 500,000 in the land of Baiyue. If there is rebellion, the consequences will be disastrous. He wants to see these People are not rebelling, do they have the intention to rebel?
He was very worried about this.
The heir he recognized, Fusu, was too weak, so he sent Fusu to the Great Wall on the border to establish a good relationship with Mengtian. You must know that Mengtian also has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. As a king, you must have your own military strength. , this army and the Mengshi generals were the forces he arranged for Fusu.
At this time, the First Emperor already felt that he was dying. Since the last time he saw the people of Wanqu arriving by snail boat, his health had been getting worse day by day.
He still remembered the scene that day. At that time, he also came to the seaside, and a conch-shaped boat came out from the bottom of the sea. The boat was called a Lunbo boat. It could sink on the bottom of the sea and was impervious to water. All the people of Wanqu inside were Standing ten feet tall, they used the feathers of birds and animals to make clothes to cover their bodies.
The First Emperor always thought that he had seen the gods, because when the First Emperor was chatting with them, he talked about the beginning of the world, and the people of Wanqu talked about it as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
However, ever since he met them, the First Emperor felt that his health was not in good condition. He suffered from heart palpitations and insomnia for a long time. He called Bian Que in the palace to see his illness, and found that his heartbeat was slow and fast, and his pulse was not that strong. Now, I still have nosebleeds from time to time, I often get sick, my eyesight is no longer good, and I often have double images in front of my eyes. Bian Que said that it was a disease in his eyes, and Bian Que also talked about his internal organs. Something went wrong, and he was about to die.
Although the First Emperor disliked what Bian Que said, he still believed in what Bian Que said.
After all, that is Bian Que, the highest title among doctors. Physicians of Wang Zi's lineage have reached the extreme level of Wang Wen Wen, and they are also perfect in other aspects. The First Emperor himself has also read Bian Que's Internal and External Classics and theirs. Books like Five Color Pulse Diagnosis, and more importantly, Bian Que at this time was no longer alone, but a group of people. With the help of the empire, the Bian Que school had grown a lot, so they would not lie. human.
"I just don't know what happened to Cui Wenzi's elixir of life? Zhao Gao, how long do you think I can live?"
The First Emperor looked at Zhao Gao beside him and asked.
Although this Zhao Gao has only been in the palace for a few years, he is always moved by the delicious dishes he cooks. He has become inseparable from this person. He will take him with him every time he goes out on patrol. Not only In this way, he also made Zhao Gao the official of the CRRC and the official of Fu Xi, and he also became Hu Hai's teacher.
Zhao Gao said cautiously: "Your Majesty, of course you have a long life. I think Master Cui Wenzi has already refined the elixir of immortality. Your Majesty will naturally live a long life after taking the elixir. Who would have thought of that heavenly elixir?" The meteorite is actually the star that refines the elixir for His Majesty. Those traitors carved a plan to divide the land after the death of the First Emperor, which is impossible to realize."
What he said was quite bold, and he directly said the words engraved on the meteorite, which made the First Emperor frown. He was not dissatisfied with Zhao Gao's words, but with those officials who committed suicide.
He never kills rashly. You must know that Qin's law is strict, but innocent people cannot kill rashly. Even if the First Emperor destroyed a lot of Qin law clauses, but innocent people cannot kill rashly, he did not Crossed the line. Even if they burned books, trapped scholars, and killed a lot of sorcerers, there was a reason.
Except for those sorcerers, the First Emperor was not killing anyone anymore. Even Chunyu Yue, who wanted him to abolish the counties and implement enfeoffment, he did not kill, he just rushed back to his hometown.
"I do regret the book burning thing."
When people get older, they will regret some of their previous actions. Now the First Emperor felt that he should not listen to Li Si's words and burn books. This really ruined the efforts of the sages.
"Your Majesty is unifying the minds of the people, which is a good thing for the Qin Dynasty. Besides, there are still manuscripts of sages in the stone chamber. Your Majesty just burned the copies of the private collections. There is no need to worry about it."
As a modern chef, Zhao Gao still has something. At least when he burned books and harassed Confucian scholars, he knew to back up those things and kept the original manuscripts. Although this guy is just a cook, but because of his sister My boyfriend’s father was an archaeologist and knew that the previous manuscripts here were historical and should not be destroyed, so he persuaded the First Emperor to burn the backup copies and keep the manuscripts.
The First Emperor was also very happy when he knew this idea. He didn't want to destroy those things, so he collected all those things into the official library of Qin Dynasty, the Stone Chamber. Not only the manuscripts of the sages, but also the private collections of books, he also collected them. As for those that were burned, they were all just blank bamboo slips. They were all going to be burned anyway, and it didn't matter if they were engraved or not. .
After hearing this, the First Emperor looked at Zhao Gao in front of him. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that Zhao Gao knew what he was thinking.
Just when he was about to show off to Zhao Gao, a golden chrysanthemum suddenly appeared on the coast, spinning and twinkling there.
The First Emperor narrowed his eyes when he saw what suddenly appeared, and immediately pulled Zhao Gao back behind the escort. Of course, he was not concerned about Zhao Gao's life or death, but was using Zhao Gao as a shield for himself. He didn't want to do that yet. As for death, just like what Zhao Gao said before, Cui Wenzi's elixir of youth is about to be mastered, but he hasn't lived enough yet, and a lot of things in Da Qin have not been solved.
The world was unified too quickly and there were too many hidden dangers. He didn't want to die yet.
The First Emperor pulled Zhao Gao in front of him and retreated to the enemy where the guards were gathered. The Qin soldiers and imperial guards also set up their Qin crossbows one by one and aimed at the thing that appeared in the sky for unknown reasons. They Be ready to shoot the crossbow arrow in your hand at any time, and shoot the things coming out from the opposite side full of holes!
At this time, they saw those golden vortexes in the void, and a human hand stretched out from them, as if something was released, but no one saw it.
Zhao Gao looked at the hand, his eyes widened and said, "Watch!"
