About half an hour later, the First Emperor opened his eyes from his sleep.
Feeling refreshed...
Seeing Zhao Si still kneeling obediently in front of him, he laughed dumbly.
"Your Majesty, are you awake?" Zhao Si smiled and said.
The First Emperor nodded. Although it was not very polite to suddenly fall asleep while negotiating with his ministers, it must be said that this sleep was extremely comfortable.
The First Emperor was already vaguely aware of it...
He waved his hand and asked Zhao Si to retreat first...
After Zhao Si left the palace, the First Emperor stood up from the rocking chair and stretched out comfortably.
It was obvious that this feeling of comfort and relaxation in front of Zhao Si was no longer the first or second time.
This little guy Zhao Si is indeed very lovable...
The most important thing is that every time the little guy Zhao Si comes, he always brings all kinds of good news.
After pacing around the room, the First Emperor sat down on his knees before returning to the desk. With abundant energy, he quickly handled the remaining government affairs, and then waved to Zhao Gao to come forward: "Given the Minister Zhao Si’s hundred gold.”
The First Emperor still remembered that Zhao Si spent twenty gold from his own pocket to reward and encourage the craftsmen. Zhao Si certainly could not afford this money.
"A doctor, three constants, several titles..." The First Emperor stroked his beard with a smile on his face.
Zhao Si... came here specifically to ask for these titles. What did he want to do?
It is definitely not for the so-called papermaking and printing. Papermaking is almost successful, and printing is the principle proposed by Zhao Si...
"Moving wood to establish trust? Or buying horse bones for a thousand dollars?"
The First Emperor was very curious as to what could be worthy of Zhao Si being so concerned about and hiding it so much. But it is obvious that all the things Zhao Si has put his heart into so far have produced good results.
Zhao Si always has some weird starting points, and then uses some unexpected methods to achieve a good result.
"Your Majesty, please have a meal!" Xia Wuji was puzzled and wondered what kind of medicine was missing from his prescription.
Although judging from the pulse condition in the past two days, the Emperor's health was still deteriorating, but this did not mean that his pharmacy and dietary supplement methods were wrong.
It's just that the speed of recovery is not as fast as the speed of deterioration.
The First Emperor nodded.
To be honest, the food supplement prepared by Xia Wuqie tastes average and bland. Fortunately, because Zhao Si came here today and just left not long ago, the influence of the raw jade halo is still there, so I still have the appetite to eat it today.
"Your Majesty, do you have a good appetite today?" Xia Wuji asked slightly surprised.
In the past few days, Xia Wuji has been fully responsible for the diet and daily life of the First Emperor. As a qualified doctor, Xia Wuji not only observed the Emperor's pulse and complexion, but also recorded every time he ate, the state of eating, and even the number of times he urinated and defecated. It is guaranteed to fully know the most accurate physical data of the First Emperor, and draw observations from the subtleties.
Therefore, the First Emperor's appetite was greatly increased, and Xia Wuqu immediately discovered the clues.
The First Emperor nodded and wiped his mouth.
"How is your Majesty's energy now?" Xia Wuji asked again.
"Not bad!" Likewise, because Zhao Si had been here, the First Emperor's mental state was also very good.
"Please Rong Chen check your pulse." Xia Wuji said, and the First Emperor held out his wrist.
The pulse is still mixed and disordered...
But the good news is that it has not worsened. On the contrary, there has been an extremely slight improvement.
Xia Wuji frowned.
However, why did the situation worsen even though there was no improvement in the past two days, why did it stop deteriorating today and even improve the appetite and spirit of the First Emperor?
The food I eat is consistent and the medicine I take is fine, so what’s the problem?
"How?" The First Emperor looked at Xia Wuqi and asked with his brows furrowed.
"It's strange, His Majesty's pulse condition has improved, but... the food and medicine prescriptions have not changed..." Xia Wuji pondered for a long time.
"May I ask Your Majesty, what are the differences and abnormalities between today and the previous two days?"
"Zhao Si came today. He took a break for the past two days and never came." The First Emperor replied with a smile.
Generally speaking, the life of the First Emperor was the same. He dealt with different government affairs every day, issued various orders, and maintained the extreme operation of the empire.
If there is one biggest difference these days, it is that Zhao Si has been here.
The First Emperor noticed very early that he was in a happy mood when he was with Zhao Si. The most obvious thing was the few times he had eaten with Zhao Si before. Basically, every time he ate with Zhao Si, his stomach would feel full.
The First Emperor even raised this issue with Meng Yi before, and later specifically consulted Xia Wuji.
"Hiss! His Majesty once mentioned it to me... But, it shouldn't be..." Xia Wuji frowned.
Could it be that! Zhao Si is the most crucial medicine? Xia Wuji boldly gave evidence.
Of course, Xia Wuji didn't think much about it. First of all, his medical knowledge did not make Zhao Si think too much.
Secondly, Zhao Si was not alone when he returned from the sea, nor was he an isolated case...
"Every time your Majesty summons Zhao Si, are you in a good mood?" Xia Wuji asked tentatively.
"Not really..." The First Emperor thought carefully and shook his head.
"However, he can always bring a lot of good news." The First Emperor smiled.
It's not that the First Emperor was in a good mood every time he summoned Zhao Si, but it was only when Zhao Si came that the First Emperor's mood improved.
No way, Zhao Si always has all kinds of weird ideas and all kinds of good news.
The most important thing is that this little guy Zhao Si is lovable.
This point is particularly critical. Even the First Emperor did not notice that the boring and boring daily affairs occasionally became less boring because of the arrival of Zhao Si.
"I dare to ask, is your Majesty close to Minister Zhao?" Xia Wuji asked.
The First Emperor nodded.
Xia Wuji fell into deep thought after hearing this.
In fact, as an old man who had been with the First Emperor since before he ascended the throne, Xia Wuqi witnessed the glorious life of the First Emperor.
Returning to the country, ascending the throne, betraying relatives and leaving...
Since then, Wang rarely smiled.
Who was the last close minister of the First Emperor? Xia Wuji had an impression that it was Li Xin.
The First Emperor even praised Li Xin personally during a banquet with his ministers, praising Li Xin as his Bai Qi.
That period was also a period when the First Emperor was particularly happy. Xia Wuqi remembered that the First Emperor also smiled a lot during that time.
That high-spirited young general became the leader of the young faction of the Qin army. Even Meng Tian and Wang Ben could only be his deputy. Even the veteran Wang Jian was silenced by him. He was the most advantageous Qin sword of the First Emperor.
It's a pity...that boy disappointed the First Emperor.
It was not that he was disappointed with his defeat, but that he was depressed and had no fighting spirit.
What the First Emperor always admired was Li Xin's indomitable spirit rather than his invincibility, and the First Emperor would never tolerate failure.
Later... the First Emperor had no choice but to invite Wang Jian again... From then on, the First Emperor's smile became much less frequent.
Xia Wuji remembered very clearly how devastated Li Xin was when he returned from the defeat.
The First Emperor didn't care, he just told him: "If you can't win with 200,000, then I will give you 400,000 or 600,000!"
From the beginning, the First Emperor never thought of inviting Wang Jian, even though Li Xin had already lost once.
As long as Li Xin has the intention to fight again, as long as Li Xin's heart is not defeated by Xiang Yan, the First Emperor will be willing to believe in him again and again. The First Emperor will never doubt his vision of employing people.
That was the first time Xia Wuqie saw the once high-spirited Li Xin murmuring.
His heart was defeated...
Maybe he will become a regular general who guards one side in the future, but he will no longer be the Qin sword most handy to the First Emperor.
After a long time... Zhao Si returned from the sea.
Xia Wuji had some enlightenment in his heart...
understood! The missing medicine is Zhao Si!
The mood of the First Emperor was the key.
Xia Wuqi had said this to the First Emperor a long time ago, and now, it was just verified.
