After Zhao Gao came out of the palace, he rushed to Xu Fu's residence without stopping.
At this time, Xu Fu was refining elixirs for the First Emperor in the alchemy room.
Although the First Emperor had always been biased against Alchemists, Alchemists' elixirs had miraculous effects in treating diseases, which was why he reused Xu Fu.
And Xu Fu does have some real abilities.
But when Zhao Gao arrived at Xu Fu's residence, he was blocked by his Dantong.
"Zhao Mansion orders, wait a minute, the immortal master is refining the elixir for your majesty, so we cannot be disturbed."
Zhao Gao, who had always been calm and composed, suddenly straightened his face when he heard Dantong's words. He looked at Dantong coldly and said, "What happened today involves your lives. If you don't want to die, go and report it as soon as possible!"
"ah?"
The alchemist boy was startled and walked straight into Xu Fu's alchemy room without saying a word.
Soon, Xu Fu, dressed in gray and black robes with a messy beard, rushed out, bowed to Zhao Gao and said: "Fu is polite, Zhao Fuling!"
"You and Master Lu Sheng come from the same school, do you know how ruthless he is?" Zhao Gaopi teased Xu Fu with a smile.
Xu Fu was stunned for a moment, and said somewhat unclearly, "What does Zhao Fu's order mean by this?"
"You really don't know about Lu Sheng's Secret?"
"this"
Xu Fu showed hesitation, then waved away Dantong and made an inviting gesture towards Zhao Gao.
Soon, the two came to the secret room of the alchemy room.
But Xu Fu said sincerely: "To be honest, Lu Sheng is not an alchemist or a Confucian scholar, but a descendant of the Duke of Lu!"
"Descendant of Duke Lu?"
Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly became embarrassed.
Xu Fu did not hide anything from him and told Zhao Gao everything he knew.
After Zhao Gao heard this, he could not tell whether he was happy or angry, but asked solemnly: "Why did you just say it today?"
"The order of the Zhao family trusts Lu Sheng more than I do. If Lu Sheng doesn't cause trouble, the order of the Zhao family will probably recommend him to His Majesty!" Xu Fu said with a bitter smile.
"snort!"
Zhao Gao snorted coldly, neither admitting nor denying.
But I heard Xu Fu say again, "Lu Sheng is colluding with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. He even has a secret base to gather the remnants of the Six Kingdoms on the coast of Qi State. Fortunately, he has not been reused by Your Majesty. Otherwise, if he implicates us, His Majesty will definitely dislike him." !”
"You don't have to say that!"
Zhao Gao glared at Xu Fu angrily, feeling as if he had been deceived: "Lu Sheng, this bird man, is so heartless. I was ordered by your Majesty to secretly summon alchemists to treat your Majesty's illness. If he asked for money, I would give him the money." Please give me money, it will cost a lot of money, but I didn’t expect that you will be a restoration fanatic!"
"Should I report this matter to His Majesty?"
Xu Fu said cautiously.
Zhao Gao raised his eyebrows and shouted in a deep voice: "Can I report to your majesty that I am on good terms with the rebels? Do you want me to die?!"
"this"
Xu Fu opened his mouth but stopped talking.
Zhao Gao narrowed his eyes slightly: "Your Majesty is interested in the way to immortality. You can take him to search for immortality and medicine while His Majesty is on tour eastward. I will find a way to get rid of Lu Sheng and the alchemists related to him, and there will be no proof! "
"ah?"
Xu Fu's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Zhao Gao in disbelief.
He did not expect that Zhao Gao, who had always been respectful to the First Emperor, would dare to deceive the First Emperor.
Although he once mentioned the fairy island to the First Emperor, he only catered to the First Emperor's dream of immortality.
I didn’t really want to find the fairy island.
but.
Zhao Gao said with cold eyes: "As long as you do as I say, I guarantee that you will be the only alchemist beside His Majesty. How about that?"
Xu Fu looked overjoyed and immediately bowed to Zhao Gao: "I'm so grateful to be able to serve Zhao Gao!"
"Okay, just keep the secret strictly confidential!"
Zhao Gao nodded solemnly and then exited Xu Fu's alchemy room.
On the other side, Lu Sheng was still brainwashing Hou Sheng.
"I dare not forget my mother's teachings to me. Over the years, I studied alone and went through a lot of hardships before I finally entered Confucianism and became the first disciple of Mencius and my teacher Wan Zhang!"
"Are you actually a disciple of Master Wan Zhang?"
Hou Sheng looked at Lu Sheng in surprise.
These ten thousand chapters are the masters of Mencius who compiled and compiled "Mencius", and are on the same level as Ziyou, Zigong and others who compiled "The Analects"
At first he also wanted to become a disciple of Wan Zhang, but unfortunately he could not do so.
Now that I heard what Lu Sheng said, I was even more impressed.
But Lu Sheng was extremely calm: "Becoming Master Wan Zhang's disciple has fulfilled my wish, but the other vow in my heart has never been extinguished for a moment;
So many years later, I traveled alone again, and met an old alchemist on the seaside of Qi State! "
"Old alchemist?"
"right!"
Lu Sheng nodded: "Being acquainted with this old alchemist, I saw the secrets of the monarchs of various countries, so I began to learn the art of alchemy from him, and I became very proficient in it!"
"So, my brother has an ulterior motive for getting close to the First Emperor?" Hou Sheng asked curiously.
"That's it!"
Lu Sheng smiled and said, "I have been studying the First Emperor from a very early age until he destroyed the six kingdoms. My assessment of him is that he is a king who is eager for quick success and quick profit, busy all day long, and must have hidden health problems!"
"this"
Hou Sheng looked at Lu Sheng in disbelief.
He did not expect that Lu Sheng had studied the First Emperor so thoroughly.
But Lu Sheng went deeper than he thought.
But I heard Lu Sheng continue: "During my travels, I met Xu Fu and other alchemists. Later, I was introduced by Xu Fu and met Zhao Gao. I also made friends with Zhao Gao because he was proficient in carriages and horses, and introduced more alchemists to him! "
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, and asked Hou Sheng: "You must remember that Zhao Gao is the only one who can talk about hidden illnesses to the First Emperor!"
"Although he is just a eunuch, the First Emperor's trust in him is unparalleled."
"Some time ago, I heard Xu Fu secretly talk about how the First Emperor had achieved remarkable results after taking Alchemy Pill, and he was interested in the way to immortality."
"ah?"
Hou Sheng was startled and asked hurriedly: "Is there really a way to immortality in the world?"
"hehe."
Lu Sheng smiled noncommittally, and then said meaningfully: "Everything in the world exists if you believe it, and if you don't believe it there is nothing."
"Since brother doesn't want to say anything, then I won't ask!"
Hou Sheng frowned, as if he was very dissatisfied with Lu Sheng's pretentiousness, so he said straight to the point: "What does your hard work have to do with the restoration of Lu?"
"Recovering the Kingdom of Lu is my lifelong vow!"
Lu Sheng sneered and said, "Do you think that I will count on the First Emperor to help me restore the Lu Kingdom?"
"Why I thought it wasn't important, what's important is, what do you think?"
"I don't think the First Emperor will implement the vassal system. Even if he enfeoffs overseas territories, it will only be a temporary measure. Therefore, there is only one way to go now!"
"What way?"
"Destroy Qin!"
"hiss"
Hou Sheng's eyes widened and he couldn't help but take a breath.
Lu Sheng said calmly: "I will not destroy Qin, and Qin will destroy me. Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to give it a try. No one can stay out of it anyway."
"Then Xiongtai entered Confucianism to ask Confucianism to help you destroy Qin?" Hou Sheng asked impatiently.
"There are many people who want to destroy Qin, not just Confucians?"
Lu Sheng said coldly and thoroughly: "Although Confucianism cannot directly destroy Qin, it can become the vanguard of destroying Qin. Using history as a pen, it can conquer Qin and teach the world about Qin's tyranny!"
"I see."
Hou Sheng nodded in realization.
Lu Sheng said solemnly: "I have arranged my backup plan. It won't be long before the First Emperor will kill the Confucians. If you want to save the Confucian scholars in Xianyang, you must explain it clearly to them and teach them to escape Xianyang as soon as possible!" "
"You actually"
Hou Sheng didn't expect Lu Sheng to be so vicious, and couldn't help but feel chilled, but he still couldn't help asking: "Aren't we leaving together?"
"Let's go!"
Lu Sheng smiled and said: "At three o'clock tonight, come to my dormitory and let's fly far away together!"
"But..." Hou Sheng was still hesitant.
Lu Sheng smiled and comforted: "You can just come with me. Don't worry about anything else. I have prepared enough money for us to squander the world."
"Okay, then just listen to brother!"
Hou Sheng's face turned red with excitement.
Early the next morning, the emperor's study.
"Snapped!"
After Zhao Gao returned to the palace, he thought carefully and decided to take a preemptive strike and truthfully report to Ying Zheng the matter of Lu Sheng's collusion with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. He never mentioned his personal relationship with Lu Sheng.
At this time, Ying Zheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth and threw the bamboo slips on the ground angrily: "A bunch of things that are worse than pigs and dogs! I will kill them all! Come and tell Feng Jie!"
Not long after, Feng Jie came to Ying Zheng's study and listened to his order: "Lu Sheng colluded with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and actually left the Doctor's Palace in the name of a Confucian doctor. I think the remnants of the Six Kingdoms also had close contacts with the Doctor's Palace. I order you to thoroughly investigate the people related to Lu Sheng and not let anyone go!"
"I obey the decree."
Feng Jie solemnly accepted the order and quickly exited the study.
On the other side, in an old workshop on the western outskirts of the city.
Zhao Hao ordered people to divide the old workshop into four parts. The west side is the pool used to store raw materials, and the north side is the stone pound for processing raw materials.
To the south is the pot room for cooking, and to the east is the wet paper room for screening pulp.
From a distance, this almost abandoned old workshop suddenly glowed with unprecedented vitality.
Compared with Zhang Cang's hands-on work, Zhao Hao was obviously a hands-off shopkeeper.
After making important arrangements, he stood in the crowded courtyard and studied the bamboo pieces in his hands.
"The martial arts masters in the movie are all flying flowers and picking leaves, killing people invisible. Can this small piece of bamboo kill people?"
Zhao Hao muttered, then took action, picked up the bamboo piece, and gestured towards his wrist.
The next moment, I felt something was wrong again, so I stretched the bamboo piece towards my neck.
"Young Master Hao!"
Wang Li came, looked at Zhao Hao's suicidal posture, and asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"
"Research the secret weapon!"
Zhao Hao stopped his 'suicidal' action and played with the piece of bamboo and said, "Bamboo is easy to obtain and easy to make. My father, the emperor, recruited soldiers from all over the world, thinking that it could prevent people from rebelling. But he didn't know that this piece of bamboo alone would... It’s extremely sharp, comparable to Xiao Li’s flying knife!”
"Romantic Swordsman?"
"You don't understand even if I tell you."
Zhao Hao threw away the 'sharp weapon' in his hand and said to Wang Li: "Didn't I tell you to recuperate at home? Why did you come here again? Also, how did you know I was here?"
Wang Li seemed a little dissatisfied with Zhao Hao's words and complained to him: "I heard that the young master wanted to do something serious, so I thought of helping the young master. Unexpectedly, my grandfather did not say anything, and the young master fell out of the order of expulsion!"
"Why is it your grandfather? Where is your father?"
"My father has gone to Liaodong. It is said that the north is not peaceful!"
"North? Could it be the Huns?"
"It seems so! But I'm not sure either. Grandpa asked me to leave it alone and learn from you in peace!"
Zhao Hao sighed: "Okay then, what do you want to learn? See if I can teach you."
"Master, what can you teach me?" Wang Li said excitedly.
Zhao Hao thought for a while and said, "How about arithmetic?"
"Arithmetic? Isn't this the science of enlightenment?"
"You regard arithmetic as a study of enlightenment. Does that mean you are very good at arithmetic?"
Wang Li scratched his head: "It's not that powerful, I just know how to use it!"
"OK!"
Zhao Hao nodded: "Then let me test you. If you lead an army to a place a thousand miles away, and you know that the army marches thirty-six miles every day, how should you calculate the exact time of arrival?"
"this"
Wang Li thought for a moment and replied: "This should take twenty-eight days!"
"wrong!"
Zhao Hao shook his head: "According to actual calculation, it is 27.8 days."
"27.8 days?"
"The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. Don't underestimate this error. Sometimes the battlefield situation will change because of this error. Do you understand?"
Wang Li shook his head violently, but his eyes lit up and he listened more seriously.
"This is only the number of days. To be more precise, you should arrive at the battlefield within a few hours!"
Zhao Hao said, bending down to pick up the bamboo pieces: "Arithmetic is far more powerful than you think. As long as you master arithmetic, you can do many unexpected things!"
"I understand what you mean, Master!"
Wang Li seemed very excited and thought of something, and said to Zhao Hao: "But there is another point. I don't understand. When calculating the number of marching days, don't you look at the terrain? The marching speed is also related to the terrain!"
"It's not that I don't look at it, but when you calculate, you can calculate mountain marches, desert marches, and jungle marches together, and then perform more complex calculations based on different terrains to get standard data. In the future, marching and fighting will definitely be able to match Ten counselors!”
Zhao Hao smiled.
Wang Li's eyes widened and he suddenly became excited: "If there is a marching map, this can indeed be done!"
"This only counts your own army. If you are capable, you can also count the enemy's army!"
Zhao Hao smiled and patted Wang Li on the shoulder.
Wang Li immediately began to think about it, as if he had entered a new world. He saluted Zhao Hao with great excitement: "Thank you, Master!"
"Little things, I'll teach you in detail after I'm done with this!"
Zhao Hao waved his hand.
"Are you going to be busy for a while?"
Wang Li couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, then looked around and asked doubtfully: "What are they doing?"
Zhao Hao shrugged and said, "What else can I do, of course, make paper!"
"papermaking?"
Wang Li frowned, a little confused.
Before Zhao Hao could explain to him, he saw Zhang Cang walking towards him.
"Sir, the time has come."
Zhang Cang pointed to the huge steamer in the south and said, "The raw materials have softened."
"oh?"
Zhao Hao looked along Zhang Cang's fingers and saw steam lingering in the south, like soaring clouds and mist, so he waved his hand and said, "Since the raw materials have softened, let's move on to the next step!"
"good!"
After receiving the approval, Zhang Cang immediately began to direct the workers.
He first asked the workers to take out the softened bamboo, and then asked the workers to remove the shell.
Immediately afterwards, it was transferred to a stone pound to crush the raw materials.
It didn't take long for the whole workshop to become lively and shouting.
This made Zhao Hao sigh. With such subordinates, there was no need to worry about failure. If he wasn't lazy, he would probably be struck by lightning.
Just as I was thinking about it, someone came to report that it was Wentong Jun Kong Yu who sent someone to deliver the message.
Zhao Hao was a little surprised and didn't understand why the old man suddenly came to him.
Because he really didn't want to cause trouble, he asked the old man to find Fusu as before, but the person sent by the old man said that the old man had already asked others to notify Fusu.
"Go and tell the old man that something is wrong. Go and tell Mr. Wen Tong. As long as it's my eldest brother, I won't go."
The person who sent the message looked embarrassed, but in the end he did not invite Zhao Hao.
But just when Zhao Hao was about to find a place to sleep, Fusu sent someone to find him again and asked him to return to the palace immediately.
"What happened to make my eldest brother so rude?"
Zhao Hao sat on the carriage and asked the person in front of him with a puzzled expression.
He never expected that the person waiting for him on the carriage would be Meng Yi.
Meng Yi sighed and said leisurely: "It's a long story."
"Then let's make a long story short! Let's get to the point!"
Zhao Hao interrupted Meng Yi impatiently.
Meng Yi glanced at him and said solemnly: "Not long ago, Feng Jie led people to arrest all the Confucian doctors in the Doctor's Palace, as well as the Confucian alchemists who were preparing to escape!"
"ah?"
Zhao Hao was surprised: "Why is this?"
"It is said to be related to two Confucian doctors!"
"Doctors of Confucianism? Why are they doctors of Confucianism again? They don't want to die all day long, and they feel unhappy, right?"
Zhao Hao was a little indignant when he heard this and felt that Confucian people were very insecure.
He originally thought that he could use Confucianism like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but he didn't expect that Confucian people were so good at getting things done.
"In my opinion, this matter has little to do with the Confucian doctors of the Doctor's Palace. It is mainly the fault of the two Marquis Nalu!"
"Both Lu Hou?"
Zhao Hao was surprised: "The two Confucian doctors you mentioned, couldn't they be Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng?"
"It's them!"
"Hey! These two fish that slipped through the net, how come they were so quiet before, and now they are jumping out!"
Meng Yi was stunned: "Young Master knows about them?"
"Well"
Zhao Hao hesitated for a moment, then laughed dryly and said: "I have heard a little bit, but I don't know what they did?"
"It is said that before the two Marquis Lu fled, they encouraged the Confucian scholars and alchemists in Xianyang City to flee as well!"
Meng Yi frowned and said: "The Confucian scholars and alchemists were so frightened that they all told how they were incited. Some of them even exposed each other in order to avoid trouble, causing most of the Confucian scholars and alchemists in Xianyang City to be imprisoned..."
"This is too stupid! Doesn't it make things worse?!" Zhao Hao said in astonishment.
"It is precisely because of this that the eldest son asked me to come to you." Meng Yi said helplessly: "I am worried that the eldest son will anger your majesty because of this matter."
"Why did the two Marquis Lu escape?"
"Because of the prophecy!"
"What prophecy?"
"Hu Ye is the one who destroyed Qin!"
Meng Yi replied solemnly, and then snorted coldly: "Hmph! Does a mere Donghu want to destroy our Great Qin?"
"Well……"
Zhao Hao glanced at Meng Yi with a complicated expression, and then continued: "Have the two Marquis Lu left the city?"
