The palace hall fell into silence, leaving only Zhao Gao's fearful voice and the suddenly raised voice of the First Emperor.
Zhao Gao really consulted many classics, but it was not to make the First Emperor live forever.
Unlike the First Emperor, he did not believe in the so-called elixir of life, but coaxing the emperor was one of his responsibilities.
The purpose of consulting the classics is to compete for more favors and gain more power in front of the First Emperor.
But as he searched, he found that there seemed to be a so-called immortality, but unlike what those immortals and alchemists said, everyone, including the First Emperor, seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding.
Zhao Gaozhan knelt on the ground tremblingly and said with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, if there is an immortal holy king in this world, how did the holy king behind him appear?
The Emperor of Heaven was immortal, and how did the Emperor of Earth control the Xia?
The Emperor of Heaven disappeared, the Emperor of Earth lived forever, but the Emperor of Thailand appeared. Isn't this the most bizarre thing on the road to immortality? "
The First Emperor's eyes darkened and his voice was hoarse: "You mean there is no immortality in this world? Everyone is deceiving me?"
The air above the hall was completely stagnant, and the anger of the First Emperor made everyone tremble. Even the cold days when water dripped into ice were not as cold as the current situation in everyone's hearts.
When the emperor is angry, millions of corpses will be laid down and blood will flow for thousands of miles. This is absolutely true, especially since the First Emperor, who is probably the most powerful emperor in history, the whole world will crawl under him.
Zhao Gao naturally would not seek death, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, if there is no immortal king in this world, how can we explain the supernatural power of the supreme king Su?
I looked through the classics and found only one sentence that can answer all your questions - 'In the seventeenth year of King Kang, King Su died'! "
In the seventeenth year of King Kang's reign, King Su died!
King Su died!
Like a bolt from the blue, the First Emperor's whole body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
He got it.
He understood what Zhao Gao was going to say.
King Su had never taken the so-called elixir of life. King Su passed away in the seventeenth year of King Kang's reign.
In the vast land of Jiuzhou, no holy king has ever lived forever, and everyone has become a god after death!
The First Emperor felt extremely ridiculous, "Under the rule of Bang and Zhou for a thousand years, I have forgotten that all the Shang kings became emperors after their death."
Zhao Gao felt that the First Emperor seemed to believe his idea, and he breathed a sigh of relief. This was the reason why he could not tell the First Emperor.
Could it be that he wanted to say to the First Emperor: Your Majesty, you die first, and then you will live forever!
Zhao Gao believed that if he dared to say that, the greatest possibility would be that the First Emperor would chop him to death directly.
If he hadn't been forced into a corner by the First Emperor today, Zhao Gao would never have risked revealing his greatest discovery.
Because he knew that His Majesty the Emperor not only wanted to live forever, but also wanted to hold the power in his hands forever.
As he expected, obtaining the secret of the ancient holy king's immortality did not make the First Emperor happy at all.
"According to what you say, can't I live forever in the human world?"
The First Emperor's tone was not very good, but Zhao Gao, who was extremely good at understanding the First Emperor's psychology, was filled with joy. He felt that the First Emperor's tone had loosened.
Zhao Gao turned his eyebrows and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, the emperor will still be the emperor when he reaches the underworld. This is why he is buried on a large scale. The human figurines in your mausoleum are also to protect you.
How many emperors have there been from ancient times to the present? Can they all be the emperor above all others in the underworld?
But you are different. Your achievements and virtues far exceed those of all the holy kings. You are the first emperor in all ages.
Is there anyone more qualified than you to be the king of kings, the emperor above the emperor?
When you become the emperor of heaven, will there be anything worth remembering among the thousands of mortals? "
I have to say that Zhao Gao was really eloquent. He vividly described the supreme and noble scene to the First Emperor. Compared with Zhao Gao, the alchemist who once deceived the First Emperor was like a child.
The First Emperor's expression gradually improved. He was extremely confident in his own merits and virtues. Each of them was something that the ancient holy kings had never accomplished.
Therefore, Zhao Gao's praise was accepted in full.
But this is all speculation after all. What if you fail to become a god after death?
The First Emperor put away the sharp sword in his hand, glanced at Zhao Gao and said: "What you said today is very valuable, but the search for the elixir of life cannot stop. I never bet. The emperor in heaven is noble, but the supreme one on earth is What I have now.
Not holding on to what you have now honestly, but blindly pursuing the illusory, that is not what I will do. "
Of course Zhao Gao didn't care, since the First Emperor wouldn't let him search for the elixir of life anyway, and increasing manpower would just mean more lives would be lost in the future.
There are countless alchemists in the world, and there are always people who hope to suddenly become extremely wealthy by finding the elixir of immortality for the First Emperor.
Zhao Gao was about to exit the hall, but the First Emperor stopped him again. Zhao Gao bowed heavily and almost fell to the ground, "Your Majesty?"
The First Emperor said in a deep voice: "You must pay close attention to the construction of my mausoleum. It is my future heavenly palace."
Zhao Gao's body trembled, and he completely prostrated on the ground, like a snake, and loudly said: "Your Majesty, your heavenly palace will bloom with endless brilliance, shining above the nine heavens. Great Qin for eternity."
Zhao Gao knelt down and moved out of the palace. When he stood up, his legs were shaking. He walked towards the outside of the palace with a light smile on his face, "Keep an eye on the mausoleum, Your Majesty." He thought that the Heavenly Palace was not grand enough, and that the Emperor of the Underworld should have considerable majesty and be accompanied by considerable warriors from the Qin Dynasty.
It's a pity that Your Majesty is not willing to let the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty be buried, otherwise I would fill the graves with the 200,000 Great Wall troops under Meng Tian's men first.
It is a pity that just a group of Guizhou leaders were buried. "

In order to build the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, the Qin State mobilized more than 500,000 people. The mobilization ability reflected in this was completely beyond the times and fully demonstrated the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty. The excavation of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor in sculptures, paintings, etc., fully demonstrated the The artistic talents of the ancient working people fully reflected the ideological life of the ancient working people. This is an undoubted national treasure that everyone should be proud of. ——"The Mausoleum of the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty" (Note: The copywriting is scrapped) (Reason for scrapping the draft: It is recommended to delete the positive emotions about the working people and focus on the blood and tears in it, which may increase the weight of history)
There are still 4,000 words left today, and the only thing that can make me break my promise is an unexpected job from the company.
