Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 83
A golden pill was swallowed into the stomach, and the spiritual head came up visible to the naked eye.

In the cognition of this era, the medicine of golden elixir is originally a serious medical product. Although Xia Wuju tried his best to dissuade it, it is difficult for Shi Huangdi to accept the result of his energy decline and hand over everything to others.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Sangong Jiuqing had great power, and many affairs could even be handled directly without the emperor, and the power of the prime minister was so great that it could not be added.

The original process of a country's political affairs is to send them to the prime minister first, to be reviewed by the three princes, and then to be played to the emperor.Then it will be issued to the place.

But at the request of the first emperor, the process became a matter of national size. It was first sent to the first emperor. The first emperor had a look at it in person, and then sent it to the Sangong Jiuqing. .

After that, I will tour the world, visit various places in person, and learn about local political affairs.

As a workaholic, Shi Huang has been like this for more than 20 years.

But as he got older, he became more and more powerless, so Meng Yi was able to serve the king.

Afterwards, as the age increased, the energy continued to decline, and Jindan became the common medicine of the first emperor.

One, refreshing.

two...

In short, the golden elixir can be regarded as the rigid demand of the first emperor. In this case, even if Xia Wuqi tried his best to dissuade him, the first emperor himself would not listen to it. After all, there are so many doctors in this era, and Xia Wuqi did not dare to completely deny the efficacy of the golden elixir.

Because of taking the medicine, the spirit doubled, and the first emperor quickly dealt with the remaining government affairs.

Perhaps because of the effect of the medicine, it was already late at night, but the spirit was still high.

Under Zhao Gao's service, the first emperor folded his clothes and lay down, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

Various thoughts flashed through my mind, and I was highly excited, but my body was exhausted and eager to sleep and rest.

It was difficult to fall asleep within a short period of time after taking the golden elixir. Although Shi Huangdi was in high spirits at this moment, his body was unable to continue.

Tossing and turning all night, I felt as if I had slept for a long time, and when I opened my eyes, the sky was still dark, so the cycle went on and on, and the first emperor asked Zhao Gao again.

"How long have I been asleep?" came the voice of the First Emperor.

"Your Majesty, less than an hour." Zhao Gao replied.

The first emperor felt irritated for no reason. In just an hour, he felt that he woke up and went back to sleep, and went back to sleep.

Such a short and frequent sleep is a great torture for people with poor sleep quality. However, considering the workload of tomorrow as always, Emperor Shihuang finally held himself back and repeated this waking up and sleeping on the bed. , the process of falling asleep and waking up again.

Difficulty falling asleep, sleep disorders, and extremely poor sleep quality are also one of the sequelae of taking Jindan.

Today's Emperor Shihuang almost needs more than half an hour to fall asleep every night when lying in bed.

Dreamy, easy to wake up...

Another night of torment... The first emperor woke up the next day only feeling exhausted and slept, but he didn't seem to sleep again.

It seems that I have been awake all night, and it seems that I have fallen asleep, my muscles and bones are sore, my eyes are sore, and my head is swollen.

Quietly waiting for the servants to serve, change clothes, and wash up, the first emperor took out the golden elixir in silence for a moment, and started his day's work full of energy.

Every day of his life is such a cycle...

It's just that now that I'm getting older, I can't do what I want and need Jindan's assistance.

Meng Yi was listening to the music in front of the king, and his work also included giving Shi Huang the key points in advance.

Although the repeated orders and reports are kept simple, the number of words in the memorials is still a common problem among ministers everywhere.

After all, the local officials are far away, and there is only such an opportunity to show their faces in front of the First Emperor throughout the year, so how could they honestly submit such dry summary reports.

Some implicitly expressed their political opinions, some expressed their literary talents, some flattered, and there was so little solid content in a memorial.

The current situation has been rectified. When the first emperor just ruled the world, exaggeration would become commonplace. Auspicious letters popped up from all counties and counties every three days. Abstract situation for outfits.

Emperor Shihuang reviewed the memorials really at a glance. After all, it has been practiced for decades.

Meng Yi sorted out the banditry from all over the place, and finally threw it all over to Li Si, which made Li Si a headache. Today's situation is better, there are not so many things to deal with, and more are just routine reports.

So much so that at noon, with Meng Yi's assistance, most of Shi Huang's government affairs had been dealt with, and there were very few memorials left. Looking at the few memorials on the case table, Shi Huang was in a good mood.

For the rest, it only takes half an hour at most.

Stop working, drink and rest.

Two meals a day is the norm in this era, including the nobles.

But for the upper class, although they don't eat at noon, they often eat some snacks and buttermilk to fill their stomachs.

It looks the same as Western afternoon tea, how can rich people go hungry from morning to night like ordinary people without eating anything.

The first emperor also had the habit of having some buttermilk snacks at noon. After all, it is easy to get dizzy after intensive work on an hungry stomach.

After a while, the dessert buttermilk was served.

They are all relatively light things, with a slightly sweet taste.

Shi Huang ate a few mouthfuls, but his appetite was still lacking.

But it wasn't too obvious. I barely ate some snacks and drank some buttermilk to fill my stomach. I didn't have so many things to do in the afternoon, and I was able to take the time to sway on the recliner.

Drowsiness hit quickly, but I couldn't fall asleep peacefully.

Emperor Shi Huang didn't force it, he just squinted his eyes and took a nap to cultivate his mind.

"It's strange, I went to the Lantian camp twice." Shihuang said softly while shaking his body.

"Both times, I returned with a full stomach. Although Zhao Si's cooking is fresh and delicious, his craftsmanship is not as good as that of the palace people. The palace people learned the same dishes, but they are raw and difficult to swallow." The Emperor Shi Huang smiled lightly. There is helplessness and self-deprecating.

I vaguely remember that I tried a reclining chair in Lantian two days ago, and I was able to fall asleep after swaying for a while.He also happened to catch Zhao Si sneaking a sneaky look at him.

This feeling of falling asleep quickly was something Shihuang had never experienced for a long time.

"Perhaps there are many government affairs..." Meng Yi, who was reviewing keywords for the first emperor, answered.

"Your Majesty is concerned about the country and the people, exhausting your body and mind..." Meng Yi said.

But Zhao Si is really like this...

It's not necessarily true that Zhao Si is so shrewd and can talk, but getting along with this kid always makes people feel like a spring breeze.
