my grandfather was qin shi huang

Since ancient times, the only way to survive is death.

But once you really get to this point, what else can you not think about?

The First Emperor was the only emperor throughout the ages. What an extraordinary figure he was? The obsession with immortality before was just the common tendency of people to be greedy for life and hate death, and the anxiety about having no successors. But once I understood that this was not achievable, I felt relieved.

After all, with a grandson like Zhao Ying here, even if he leaves, the huge empire he left behind will inevitably continue to settle according to his own vision. In ten or twenty years, the entire Great Qin will truly be realized. There is no distinction between the north and the south, and the people do not distinguish between Qin and Chu. They are one and the same, and the golden land is intact.

The empire of Da Qin will begin with him and will last forever!
What a pity!

He looked at Zhao Ying in front of him and his voice was very calm.

"If your name is not right, your words will not be right. You only have the status of grandson now. After all, you have some constraints in handling government affairs. Get ready. I will choose an auspicious day for you in the past few days and pass it on to you..."

This sentence secretly appeared in Zhao Ying's mind many times.

But once it really appeared, Zhao Ying was not as happy as he imagined. He took the first emperor's big hand.

"Father, you..."

However, before he finished speaking, the rest of the words were directly blocked in his mouth by the eyes of the First Emperor.

The First Emperor looked at him, his tone becoming more loving.

"My child, I understand your thoughts. You are a good and filial child, but as a great father, I will always protect you and our Great Qin."

Having said this, the First Emperor's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"I am worried that after I am gone, some people will take the opportunity to cause trouble, and I also want to take advantage of the opportunity now to crown you personally. I will watch my great-grandson put on the emperor's crown, climb up to the hall, and take it from my hand. My authority.”

Seeing that Zhao Ying seemed to want to say something more, the First Emperor shook his head weakly.

"When you take over this responsibility smoothly, I can rest in peace and recover..."

With tears streaming down his face, Zhao Ying leaned down and bowed twice before saying in a choked voice.

"My grandson will obey my father's instructions. I just hope that you, the old man, will take good care of your health, wait for me, give me a few days, and I will definitely find a way to cure you!"

Zhao Ying didn't know if the First Emperor had heard it. It seemed that the exchange just now had exhausted the First Emperor's energy. Seeing that the old man had closed his eyes again, a sleepy look appeared on his face.

He lay on the ground silently, bowed twice again, and then quietly stepped out.

……

At the same time, on the distant sea, a fleet flying the flag of the Great Qin Black Bird was tightly surrounding the largest ship in the middle, speeding towards Wangqin Island.

Although the young master at this time wanted to fly back to the land directly to avoid the slightest accident due to high winds and dangerous waves on the sea, he still had to choose to return the same way for the sake of safety.

From Tianci Island, they directly crossed the sea to Xiangjun. Although it seemed that the journey was much shorter, the Ge family's fleet had never traveled this route before. They did not dare to act rashly. The only two voyages their family made were from Tianci Island behind them, directly to the Malay Peninsula in later generations, along the coast, detouring around the Mekong River in later generations, all the way to Xiangjun, and then along the Great Qin Dynasty. Coast, return to Donghai County.

Along the way, you must not only beware of harassment from local residents on the shore, but also beware of wind and waves from the sea.

The risks are naturally extremely high.

But the income is also extremely high. Sometimes a low-quality iron knife, a small bag of coarse salt, and an inconspicuous low-quality clay pot can be exchanged from the island residents for a large amount of spices that are almost as valuable as gold in the Central Plains. Fur, or gold.

If ten boats go out, if two boats come back safely, you can make a lot of money.

This is also the foundation of the Ge family.

This time, the original plan was to follow this path. With Great Qin's elite escorts and Great Qin's giant battleships, as long as it goes through completely this time, the Ge family's benefits can almost be expected.

This was why they were willing to pay such a high price to follow the young master to the sea. However, the change of things was beyond their expectation.

Three days ago, on the island behind them that had just been named Tianci Island by Gongzi Gao himself, a soldier named Yu from an exploration team named Qiu discovered an army in a quiet ravine. Miraculous plant.

The plant is about half a meter tall, shaped like coral, with saw-toothed leaves. The fruit is red, like precious gems, and exudes a magical fragrance from top to bottom.

Its surroundings were like an expanse of land, with no grass growing within a hundred meters.

The soldier couldn't hold it back for a moment and ate a fruit on the spot. The old wounds on his body healed without any medicine. Even the wounds on his body that had just been scratched by weeds and vines began to heal almost visibly to the naked eye.

So, once the news was confirmed, the entire exploration team was instantly excited.

After getting the news, Gongzi Gao, together with Lu Matong, Fan Kuai, Ge Jun, Xu Fu and others, rushed to the scene in person. Once they arrived, they blocked the entire valley.

Lu Matong was the most ruthless and cut his own arm with a knife, wanting to test the poison himself for the young master.

The effect was quickly tested, it is non-toxic and the effect is amazing.

Everyone watched helplessly as the wound on Lu Matong's arm gradually healed, and even the dark face caused by long sailing on the sea turned a bit whiter.

Everyone's eyes suddenly became fanatical.

Xu Fu suddenly felt so blessed that he knelt down toward the southeast and thanked the immortal again and again for his blessing.

The words are correct, saying that this is the elixir specially given by the immortal for your majesty. Eating it can strengthen the body and prolong life!
The immortal was finally moved by His Majesty's sincerity and by Gongzi Gao's filial piety.

When Prince Gao heard this, he was overjoyed.

Only Ge Yun looked at Xu Fu who was busy organizing people, burning incense, praying, and thanking the immortal for his blessings, with a trace of suspicion in his eyes. But given the atmosphere, he naturally wouldn't say much.

As a result, this magical plant was dug up directly along with the surrounding soil, carefully placed in a temporary wooden box made of agarwood, and transported to the core battleship.

In order to ensure that this magical plant could be transported back to Xianyang safe and sound, Gongzi Gao even had clay pots emptied out and a large amount of water drawn from nearby streams for irrigation.

In short, everything must be safe!
The Ge family's sailing plan was interrupted because of this, and they had to return with Gongzi Gao's fleet...

Young Master Gao and Fan Kuai were personally on duty to protect them, while Lü Matong led the navy to guard the left and right sides. As for the Ge family's fleet, they were pitifully pushed to the outermost edge.

The dream of getting rich will die in infancy.

"Mr. Ge, you don't need to be depressed. The Ge family is responsible for finding this wonderful medicine this time. When I go back, I will definitely ask His Majesty for your credit in person..."

Young Master Gao looked excited and turned to look at Ge Yun. "Thank you for taking care of me, Mr.——"

Ge Jun bowed to the young master very wisely.

Now, what else can be done?

Above the sea, everywhere you can see, front, back, left and right, there is blue sea. Lu Matong and Ge Li in front have to adjust their sailing direction according to the compass in their hands from time to time, lest they deviate from the channel.

Fortunately, the chart given by Zhao Ying, although some islands are not available, or there are some small islands in the middle, it is pretty much the same, especially for the main navigation, there are almost no problems. In addition, from Tianci Island to Wangqin Island, from Wangqin Island to Yingzhou Island, which is most familiar to Gongzigao, there will be islands one after another as anchor points along the way, so there is no need to worry about going astray.

But even so, Gongzi Gao couldn't help but take out the chart after a while, carefully compare his current general position, judge his current position, and silently calculate in his heart, how long does it take to get there? Arrive at Yingzhou.

When we arrive at Yingzhou, we are not far from the mainland of Da Qin!
"Mr. Ge, how long will it take to reach the mouth of the river..."

Ge Jun:......

Along the way, Gongzi Gao has asked me countless times. Even with his temperament, he feels a little impatient, but he is Gongzi Gao.

He could only cough lightly and try to make his voice sound more respectful.

"Master, if the journey goes well, it should be almost done in fifteen or sixteen days..."

When it comes to sea voyages, who can say for sure?

If you encounter any violent storm, you have to find the nearest island in advance and take shelter temporarily. When I can go back really depends on God’s face.

Gongzi Gao naturally understood this aspect, but he still couldn't help asking again and again.

……

Naturally, Zhao Ying would not place his hopes on the illusory elixir of immortality, nor would he have thought that his fourth uncle actually found a magical plant overseas and was working on it day and night on the sea. Crazy.

All his energy now is on penicillin and Wei Weiyang!

But the penicillin he asked the medical officer to cultivate only had a little bit of potential, not to mention the later extraction. Optimistic estimates indicate that it would take more than ten days to successfully extract the first penicillin, and he would have to pray to God. , the First Emperor was not allergic to this thing! Therefore, after he came out of the side hall where penicillin was cultivated, he took Wei Weiyang to the familiar courtyard again.

"Yang'er, don't be afraid..."

Sensing the hesitation at Wei Weiyang's feet, Zhao Ying held Wei Weiyang's hand and tightened it slightly.

He turned to look into her eyes and encouraged again.

Wei Weiyang himself was extremely smart. Zhao Ying didn't need to say many things. He quickly adjusted his mentality again and nodded slightly.

"I can definitely do it today!"

With the arrival of Zhao Ying and Wei Weiyang this time, the remaining prisoners on death row in the courtyard no longer showed much fear.

Less than one-third of the loss is even lower than the chance of dying on the battlefield.

There have been many people who have gone through it before and successfully survived. Not only were they exempted from their original culpability, they were even personally treated by the palace medical officer and received a large sum of money for repatriation!
value!
In fact, the results of today's test were smoother than before.

Except for one person who was seriously injured because of his frailty, two of the other five people were slightly injured and three were safe.

Aftermath.

The six death row inmates who were lucky enough to survive could not help crying.

He was quickly pulled down by the palace guards.

Those who should be treated should be treated and those who should be repatriated should be repatriated. They will meticulously implement the emperor's request.

Wei Weiyang couldn't help secretly breathing a sigh of relief, and Zhao Ying couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy on his face. As long as this state continues and he practices his skills for two more days, he can give the First Emperor a try!

At this time, it was already the seventh day of July in the twenty-seventh year of the First Emperor.

That is to say, on the morning of this day, the First Emperor, who had not directly managed the government for a long time, suddenly issued an edict that shocked the world, deciding that on July 9, the twenty-seventh year of the First Emperor, he would meditate at the throne of Emperor Sun Ying!
Eight people from the Zhengying clan of the Great Qin Dynasty, including Taiwei Liao, Wuchenghou Wang Jian, Right Chancellor Feng Quji, Left Chancellor Li Si, Shangqing Mengyi, Shaofu Shilu, Zhisu Nei Shiteng, and Hei, who held the imperial edict of the First Emperor. , appeared in the court together.

Announced the edict of the First Emperor in public, and swore to obey the First Emperor's will and support the crown prince Zhao Ying.

From this day on, the entire Xianyang City entered martial law.

Lieutenant General Wang Li and Xianyang Lieutenant Zhao Qi led their elite men to inspect the whole city to prevent an unexpected accident. Next to the Wei River, the blood of the six royal families who were kept as trophies in the palace were even more shocked three times a day, because the palace The security outside suddenly became three points tighter.

Everyone could only hide in their rooms fearfully, not daring to take a step out of the room.

He was afraid that he would make some noise and cause other people to misunderstand him, so he would be sent away with a knife.

The generals guarding the four city gates were even more tense, staring at the passers-by, not daring to be careless in the slightest. From today on, all accidents must be nipped in the bud, and the smooth transition of power in Da Qin must be ensured.

Nowadays, everything must come second to this matter.

In the past few days, Fusu, who had returned to Afang Academy to concentrate on teaching, finally learned the news that the First Emperor was seriously ill when he heard this edict.

Ignoring the shock in my heart, I hurried back and wanted to visit the palace. As a result, before I could reach the palace gate, I saw my brothers and sisters who stayed in Xianyang, including one who looked lonely and knelt in front of the palace gate, crying. There is no end to the young master Hu Hai.

"Brother——"

Seeing Fusu approaching, everyone gave way and saluted, but the eighteenth young master Hu Hai knelt down outside the palace gate in despair, motionless.

Fusu couldn't help but sigh, walked forward, and gently patted Hu Hai on the shoulder. He has quite complicated feelings about this younger brother who has been fighting with him for many years.

"Brother, Aweng..."

Before he finished speaking, Hu Hai burst into tears, choked with sobs and couldn't speak any more.

Although he has many brothers, among them, Aweng is the only one who dotes on him. Before that bitch Zhao Ying appeared, he was the one whom Aweng doted on the most.

Although later, he made a big mistake due to a mistake, and Zhao Ying forgave him for his crime, but he knew very well that Zhao Ying might not be willing to let him go if it wasn't for his father-in-law's intention.

After all, he had failed Aweng, but Aweng had not failed his son. (End of chapter)
