What Princess Changle said makes sense.
How can the emperor's gift be given at will?
Fan Li is now pretending to be the Emperor of Qin. If Zhao Gao immediately meets any request he makes, that would be too lacking in the emperor's aura.
After thinking about this, Fan Li kept a straight face and said nothing.
Zhao Gao was worthy of having served the First Emperor, and of course he understood the principle of "no reward for no merit".
"Your Majesty, Zhao Gao is a slave of Da Qin. If you give any orders, Zhao Gao will die without hesitation!"
Fan Li was quite moved when he heard this.
He really wanted to keep Zhao Gao by his side, after all, he was a powerful man in the Mahayana realm!
But Fan Li just thought about it and kept a calm expression on his face.
Zhao Gao couldn't even leave the Qin Emperor's mausoleum, so why would he die for himself?
"By the way, I haven't gotten the Qin Emperor Sword and the First Emperor's Notes yet, so I can't forget about business."
The mission of this trip is to find two treasures from Emperor Qin’s Mausoleum.
The Qin Huang Sword is in Zhao Gao's hand, and he is probably the only one who knows where the First Emperor's Notes are.
Fan Li couldn't ask for it directly. After all, this was not in line with Emperor Qin's majesty.
After thinking for a moment, he had an idea.
Fan Li sneered and said: "I was the Emperor of Qin at that time. Anything in the world can trouble me? You slave, why would you die for me? Have you forgotten that I am inspecting the emperor's mausoleum on this trip, and only the golden elixir guards are there?" There are more than 2,000 people, and they are escorted by masters of Transformation Realm, Hedao Realm and Mahayana Realm."
There is no need to make a draft when bragging, Fan Li will do it as soon as he opens his mouth.
In any case, it was impossible for Zhao Gao to check whether Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Qingqiu, etc. were his people.
When Zhao Gao heard this, he felt like a deflated rubber ball, unable to even utter a retort.
"Your Majesty, my servant... I speak from the bottom of my heart and am willing to be loyal to Your Majesty..."
Feeling that he was of no use, Zhao Gao had no choice but to beg for mercy, hoping that Fan Li would pity him.
Fan Li added: "Besides, His Majesty the First Emperor is my ancestor. Letting me tamper with the imperial edict of our ancestors is a violation of filial piety. Zhao Gao, do you want me to become an unworthy descendant of the Ying family of Great Qin?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare! Your Majesty, I don't dare!"
Even though Zhao Gao was a mummy in the Mahayana realm, he was so frightened that he trembled all over, lying on the ground and banging his head on the ground repeatedly.
Fan Li frightened Zhao Gao a little, but he would not make the other party despair, otherwise the rabbit would bite someone in a hurry and the dog would jump over the wall in a hurry.
"Zhao Gao, actually I still have doubts in my heart."
"ah?"
Zhao Gao was so frightened that he could only wait foolishly for Fan Li to lecture him.
"I venture to speculate on the holy will of our ancestor, the First Emperor. If he really thinks that your sin is unpardonable, he should simply wipe you out. But since you are left to guard the emperor's mausoleum until now, is it a hint that you will have a chance of survival in the future?"
As a time traveler, Fan Li had a common worship situation called 'over-interpretation' in his previous life.
For example, a great writer once wrote: There are two trees in front of my house, one is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree.
Fan Li remembered that there was a university professor who actually wrote a research paper of more than 100,000 words with these short twenty words, deeply analyzing the author's inner emotions, ideological realm and various metaphors.
Fan Li believed that the effect would be very good if he over-interpreted the First Emperor in front of Zhao Gao.
"Yes, yes! Your Majesty is wise, His Majesty the First Emperor must think so!"
Seeing a glimmer of hope suddenly falling from the sky, Zhao Gao was so excited that he almost cried. Unfortunately, he was a mummy and had no tears to shed.
Fan Li suppressed his laughter and sighed: "Don't be too happy too early. How can I guess the holy will of the First Emperor's ancestors at will? I am separated from my ancestors for thousands of years, and I know very little about them and lack understanding..."
Fan Li paused deliberately, which whetted Zhao Gao's appetite.
"I feel really ashamed to say that I have never even seen the pen and ink written by the ancestors of the First Emperor."
Zhao Gao heard this and immediately said excitedly: "Your Majesty! There are many calligraphy treasures of His Majesty the First Emperor in the Immortal Palace. I will go and get them now. Can you please take a look at them?"
Sure enough, it hit the mark!
Fan Li sighed again, and then said: "You have done a small job in saving the queen just now. That's all, I am also happy to pay homage to the calligraphy treasures of my ancestors, so let's take it as a reward for you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Gao seemed to be afraid that Fan Li would regret it, so he rubbed oil on his soles and went out immediately.
After a while, Zhao Gao came back again, holding a stack of bamboo slips as tall as a person in each hand.
"So much?!" Fan Li pretended to be angry and said, "Zhao Gao, do you think I have plenty of time and have nothing to do all day long?"
"Your Majesty, calm down. I just took them all. Your Majesty wants to see as much as you want. It's your own business. I don't dare to make the decision for you."
Zhao Gaoqiu was eager to reincarnate and dug out all the calligraphy treasures of the First Emperor stored in the Immortal Palace.
After hearing what Fan Li said, he quickly put down the bamboo slips, kowtowed and confessed.
Fan Li followed the words and continued: "You should select some of the most important ones, preferably articles that reflect the life, character, habits, and inner thoughts of the First Emperor's ancestors. For example, the First Emperor's diary, essays, etc."
"Only when I read articles like this can I understand my ancestors better, do you understand?"
"Yes, yes! Your Majesty is right, but the servant is stupid."
Zhao Gao was happy to hear this, and after thinking about it for a moment, he discovered that such a thing really existed!
He rummaged around for a while and took out a piece of jade.
Seeing that it was not a bamboo slip, Fan Li was confused and did not reach out to pick it up.
Zhao Gao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is a note, recorded by His Majesty the First Emperor himself."
"oh?"
It turned out to be [Notes of the First Emperor].
Fan Li looked calm on the surface, but was already very excited inside.
He glanced at Zhao Gao and suddenly asked: "Zhao Gao, you have been guarding the imperial mausoleum for many years, but have you ever committed suicide? Prying into the contents of the First Emperor's Notes without permission?"
"No, absolutely not, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Gao made a 'pop' sound and his knees hit the floor heavily.
"I have been severely punished here by His Majesty the First Emperor. How dare I commit another crime? Your Majesty, please believe that I have changed my mind many years ago and I don't dare to commit any more crimes."
Zhao Gao kowtowed and thought in his heart: He is indeed a descendant of His Majesty the First Emperor. The emperor had exactly the same idea. I must serve you carefully, just like I served His Majesty the First Emperor!
"Um."
Fan Li nodded, his tone still stern.
"I don't trust you gullibly, I just trust the ancestor of the First Emperor. Since he has already taught you a lesson, I believe you should change your ways."
"It just so happens that the queen still needs to recover from her injuries. I took the time to read this note while accompanying the queen. As for the other bamboo slips, please take them down first."
Fan Li acted reluctantly and did not covet the treasures of the Immortal Palace at all.
The more he behaves like this, the more convinced and awe Zhao Gao becomes of him!
"I dare not disturb Your Majesty and Your Majesty. I will leave now. I will wait for you again tomorrow morning."
After Zhao Gao finished speaking, he kowtowed three times in succession before bowing and walking backwards out.
Fan Li breathed a sigh of relief when Zhao Gao was completely out of sight.
It's really tiring to pretend in front of a powerful person in the Mahayana realm.
"for you."
Fan Li directly handed the "Notes of the First Emperor" to Princess Changle without any nostalgia.
