Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 125 I'll be promoted, I'll send you to death! (seeking subscription)
mid-November.

Fusu and other sons are still on the road.

Light snow has begun to fall in many places, and Xianyang City has gradually become silent.

Xianyang Palace.

There was already a fire in the hall.

Ying Zheng was wearing a black fur coat, and his figure was slightly bloated.

There are several bronze lamp stands behind him, illuminating the large case in front of him.

The big case in front of him was still full of memorials, and a bamboo slip was pushed open on the lacquer case. Ying Zheng squinted his eyes, held the pen steadily, and formed characters in just a few ink strokes.

Zhao Gao entered the room, bowed to the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Xia is seeking medical attention."

Without raising his eyes, Ying Zheng said coldly, "Let him in."

Xia Wuqi entered the hall, his back became more and more rickety, but he was in good spirits, he stood a hundred steps away from the first emperor, bowed and said: "Chen Xia Wuqi sees Your Majesty, Your Majesty is in good health."

"How's the prescription?" Ying Zheng still didn't look up.

Xia Wuqie was quite excited and said: "Return to Your Majesty, after two months of inspection, there is no problem with the three complete prescriptions, which are of great benefit to the improvement of the internal organs of the human body."

"I congratulate Your Majesty."

"The prescription works well?" Ying Zheng finally stopped writing, pondered for a moment, and then asked again: "How did you test?"

Xia Wuqie said: "Go back to Your Majesty."

"After decocting the medicine at the beginning, I first searched for livestock for testing, and then found some overworked prisoners from Lishan for testing. In addition, I posted notices in Xianyang City to find a few overworked prisoners. As a test, the head of Guizhou has surprisingly good results."

"It's just that I am still worried. After asking the doctor Yushi, I selected a few people from the death row prisoners as a test."

"The results were surprisingly consistent."

"These three prescriptions are all useful, and they are very effective in improving viscera."

"It was after repeated inspections that the effect of the prescription was confirmed that the minister dared to report to His Majesty."

"I congratulate Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng laughed lightly, feeling quite happy, and said with a smile: "The old doctor has a heart."

Xia Wuqiu didn't dare to take credit for it, and said in a deep voice: "I just did what I was supposed to do, if it wasn't for His Majesty's gift, I wouldn't have seen such prescriptions, but in the past two months, the restoration of the fourth prescription has achieved great results. Very little, I may not be able to restore it completely in a short time."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng nodded, and said slowly: "The matter of the prescription is easy to slow and not urgent. Since it is a broken prescription, it needs to be filled up slowly. I allow you to use Chinese medicinal materials as you like."

heard.

Xia Wuqi was overjoyed, and quickly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Chen Xia is grateful."

Ying Zheng sighed softly: "Since the prescription has been tested correctly, please trouble the old doctor during this period, and get me a few according to the prescription."

"My body is getting more and more tired."

Xia Wujue sighed, cupped his hands and said, "No."

Ying Zheng looked at Xia Wuqi, who was getting older, and said: "Old doctor, you should take care of your health, I still have a lot of things I can use you for."

Xia Wuqiu said with a wry smile: "It's a great fortune for me to be valued by Your Majesty in this life. I really dare not covet more. The only wish of the old minister now is to complete the fourth prescription in my lifetime. If I can make up for this The prescription of Mabo is not in vain.”

"It's a pity that I haven't met the owner of this prescription."

"like"

Just as he was speaking, Xia Wuju seemed to realize something, his face suddenly changed, and he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, please punish me for my slip of the tongue."

Ying Zheng shook his head, and said indifferently, "I don't blame you for saying something careless."

"Go down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness." Xia Wuqi bowed respectfully with a serious expression on his face, "I will take my leave."

Done.

Xia Wuju walked towards the outside of the hall with slow steps.

Before walking out of the hall, Ying Zheng's voice came out again.

The voice was a little cold.

"Old doctor, if you have time, you can test the medicine stone refined by Xu Fu in this way."

"I may have been a little biased in the past."

Xia Wuqi paused, turned around, bowed to the main hall and said: "I obey the order."

aside.

Zhao Gao's eyes moved slightly.

He has heard the meaning of it.

The prescription tested by Xia Wuqiu actually has a better therapeutic effect and hardly harms the human body, while the medicine stone refined by Xu Fu can certainly boost the spirit, but it can also destroy the body. Now there is a more suitable and suitable prescription, His Majesty has lost interest in the medicine stone refined by Xu Fu.

Xu Fu is not very useful anymore.

Thinking of this.

Zhao Gao looked a little gloomy.

He was the one who introduced Xu Fu to the palace.

If the medicine stone refined by Xu Fu is harmful to the human body after testing, I am afraid His Majesty will not let Xu Fu go.

Zhao Gao lowered his head, his eyes flickered.

He has only been released from prison not long ago, if he is hated by His Majesty again because of this, it will be very difficult to gain His Majesty's trust again.

Close ministers and eunuchs cannot lose the trust of the first emperor.

Once lost.

That means nothing.

Everything you own right now will be taken away by others.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao tilted his head slightly, looked sideways at the main hall, and then at the outside of the hall, he had an idea in his mind.

The fact that Xia Wuqiu tested alchemists to refine medicine stones was not intentionally covered up, and it soon fell into Xu Fu's ears.

twilight.

Xu Fu walked around by himself.

Still looking calm and breezy.

While strolling, he had arrived at the former site of the doctoral school. Looking at the blood-red setting sun and stepping on the sparse fallen leaves on the ground, Xu Fu wandered by the empty Lunxuetang lake, but his uneasiness grew stronger and stronger.

A few months ago, he still sneered at what happened to Dr. Zhu, but now it will happen to him again.

a time.

Can't help but feel sad.

He walked slowly along the lakeside, frowning, thinking about countermeasures.

The last time the alchemist had an accident, although it had nothing to do with him, but the eldest son's sudden questioning made him feel anxious. This worry has not dissipated until the eldest son did not entangle him anymore. His heart also slowly fell.

Because of this.

He has been incomparably silent for the past two months.

He had almost no contact with the outside world, and rarely went to meet the first emperor.

Just to avoid drawing attention.

In the end it was still futile.

In fact, he was quite annoyed, even a little remorseful.

At the beginning, I shouldn't have told Shihuang to go out to sea during the winter tide, otherwise I wouldn't have to wait two months longer, and I would be able to go out to sea when the court has prepared all the relevant materials, but now the phrase 'when the tide is flat' is a trap for me Not light.

Xu Fu glanced coldly around.

There is no one.

His face was still demure, without showing the slightest worry.

Xu Fu closed his eyes slightly, thinking about everything in his mind. There was no reason for Shihuang's indifference. If it is true, it did not start with the eldest son, but after that murder, and since then, The first emperor was less concerned about the medicinal stones he refined, and he no longer asked about the progress of going to sea.

Combined with the information from the palace this time, it is likely that Xia Wu has found a prescription to heal his body.

Otherwise, it won't be here.

Think of this.

Xu Fu's eyes were even more indifferent.

He knew he couldn't sit still any longer.

He is very sure that the medicine stone he refined is not a problem, it is indeed edible, and it is really effective, but the medicine stone refined with a lot of lead, but it is true that it cannot be eaten too much. The body is getting worse.

There is no problem in the short term.

But over time, it may not be so.

He must do something.

At least to find out what the first emperor's current intentions are.

Xu Fu straightened the bamboo crown on his head, his expression had already returned to normal, the ancient well was quiet, making it hard to see the details, he stretched his arms, let the red robe on his body relax, and walked towards Xianyang Palace.

Cool night breeze.

Ying Zheng felt that his viscera were strong.

As a result, volume after volume of documents was unfolded.

Xu Fu went outside the hall.

He stretched out his arms and saluted Zhao Gao, and said coldly: "I also ask Zhao Zhongche's mansion to pass on the message that Xu Fu, a citizen of the mountains and fields, begs to see His Majesty."

Zhao Gao kept a straight face and did not speak.

Xu Fu said solemnly: "Today's matter is related to the success or failure of going to sea. If the superior officials do not report and delay the matter of going to sea, the superior officials may not be able to bear it."

Zhao Gao teased, "Xu Fu, don't tell me these words."

"Your Majesty has a decree that I will not meet you."

"If it wasn't for His Majesty's order, how would I, a mere eunuch, dare to stop me?"

"You'd better go back as soon as possible."

"In the past, I was indeed the one who introduced you to His Majesty, but I just wanted to treat your Majesty's illnesses for you. Now Your Majesty has found a good remedy, and there is no need to take medicine stones anymore. You are useless to Your Majesty. You should think more about yourself in the future." Let's go back."

heard.

Xu Fu looked at Zhao Gao quietly.

Zhao Gao smiled slightly, and looked at each other like this.

A little silence.

Xu Fu cupped his hands slightly, and said: "Since Your Majesty is gone, how dare I, Xu Fu, disturb you again."

"Let's leave now."

Done.

Xu Fu left lightly.

It's just that the pace is faster than when I came.

Looking at Xu Fu's leaving figure, Zhao Gao, who was originally smiling, suddenly became gloomy, and said sullenly, "Xu Fu."

"Don't blame me for some things."

"I, Zhao Gao, am just a lowly eunuch, how dare I disobey the first emperor's wishes?"

"But you really should think about the way forward."

"Your Majesty is already displeased with you."

After whispering a few times, Zhao Gao continued to stand outside the hall.

Not far outside the hall.

With no one around, Xu Fu's eyes suddenly darkened, he understood Zhao Gao's words.

Shihuang no longer needed the medicinal stones he refined.

And his previous proposal to go to sea may also be shelved.

If it is found that there is something wrong with the medicine stone, he is afraid that something will happen again, and the matter is beyond his control.

Xu Fu was also a little flustered for a while.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down.

He turned his head and looked at the tall palaces behind him, a cold look appeared in his eyes, his clothes fluttered with the wind, and he said lightly: "The situation is beyond my control now, Shi Huang has an alternative prescription, at least it has some effect, otherwise it won't Dispose of the medicine stone I refined."

"The child is silent and strange."

"But once you believe it, how can you go back easily?"

"Back then, the phrase 'Hu who died in the Qin Dynasty' provoked Shihuang to send 30 troops to attack the Huns in the north."

"I heard that 'real people live in secret and live forever', so they revived the roads and corridors in the palace, and even blocked and connected all the palace lanes."

"The First Emperor is a human being."

"With the power of the world in his hands, he is even more afraid of death."

"The prescription Xia Wuqiu sent can be solved for a while, but it can't last for too long. In the end, the first emperor will return to the question of seeking immortals, but I can't stay in Xianyang any longer. The first emperor has repeated temperament. Sooner or later will be blamed on me."

"It's time to leave."

"only."

Xu Fu looked at Xianyang Palace, with a look of unwillingness in his eyes.

If his plan succeeds this time, he can leave directly by sea without any other thoughts.

Right now, I can only give up.

It's just how to leave, but it also needs to be considered in the long run.

That night.

It was dark.

Zhao Gao went outside the palace.

Some time ago, with Zhao Gao imprisoned, Yan Le was also deposed from his official position, and is currently idle at home.

Hearing that my uncle (father-in-law) was coming, Yan Le didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly got up from the couch, without straightening her clothes, she went straight to the lobby.

Before approaching, Yan Le excitedly said: "Uncle."

Zhao Gao glanced at Yan Le, and said in a deep voice, "I can't stay for too long this time, I came here this time to tell you something."

"Uncle, please tell me." Yan Le said.

Zhao Gao's eyes darkened, and he said coldly: "Go find some people and keep Xu Fu under watch. If Xu Fu wants to run away, report to the officials immediately."

heard.

Yan Le was taken aback, and asked, "Uncle, why?"

He remembers clearly.

It was Zhao Gao who introduced Xu Fu to the palace.

How to attack Xu Fu now?

Zhao Gao's eyes turned cold, and he said displeasedly: "This time is not that time. Back then, Emperor Shihuang was ill and could not be cured by ordinary medicine. It was for His Majesty's sake that I risked my life to find alchemists from outside. Moreover, Xu Fu was far more than ordinary people. He is a descendant of Daqin's former Prime Minister Xu Shen, and has a lot to do with Daqin."

"That's why I introduced him to the palace."

"He's worthless now!"

"The imperial court has begun to re-examine the medicine stone refined by Xu Fu. Regardless of whether there is any problem in the end, Xu Fu will not be used by His Majesty. At that time, Xu Fu's fate was sealed."

"It's better to cry as a family than all the way."

"Xu Fu has been in the palace for nearly nine years, and he has contacts with many officials of the imperial court. Since I recommended him, most of the officials I am close to have been with Xu Fu. If something happens to Xu Fu, I may not be able to get rid of it. There are many people staring at me in the court, I have been caught once, and I can't make any more mistakes."

"This time it's His Majesty's nostalgia. No one will save me next time."

"do you understand?"

Zhao Gao looked at Yan Le with cold eyes.

Yan Le's heart trembled, and he said quickly: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely send someone to keep an eye on him all the time, and I will never let Xu Fu slip away from Xianyang."

Zhao Gao nodded slightly.

Yan Le was doing things, he was at ease.

Yan Le nodded in response, then couldn't help frowning, and said in confusion: "Uncle, since Xu Fu wants to escape, why not let Xu Fu escape?"

"If Xu Fu escapes, wouldn't everyone be happy?"

Zhao Gao snorted coldly, and said disdainfully, "Do you think it's easier for Xu Fu to be caught in Xianyang, or easier to escape?"

Yan Le hesitated for a moment, unsure: "Arrested?"

"It must have been caught." Zhao Gao said: "If Xu Fu escaped before the court gave the order, he might still be able to escape, but now the court has noticed that it will not be so easy for Xu Fu to escape again, even if Xu Fu shows signs of fleeing, The imperial court will send people to arrest him immediately."

"He can't escape!"

"Some things are irrelevant."

"I just need to report this matter to His Majesty when Xu Fu flees."

"I won't get too involved with it."

Yan Le was thoughtful.

Zhao Gao looked at Yan Le, and said: "Your Xianyang order cannot be restored in a short time. Although I am restored to my original position, Your Majesty still has some respect for me, but based on my understanding of Your Majesty, it won't take long. You will be able to regain His Majesty’s trust, and then we will find a way to restore you to your official position.”

"You are my son-in-law after all."

"Others can ignore it, but you, I can't."

heard.

Yan Le showed joy, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Uncle."

"With my uncle's words, I feel relieved."

Zhao Gao sneered, and said with a gloomy face: "I have been out of the palace for a long time, so I will leave first, and you should keep an eye on it. It is fine if Xu Fu escapes successfully, but if Xu Fu does not escape, you don't know yet. Don't blame my uncle for turning his face and denying others when the time comes."

Yan Le's face changed slightly, and he quickly assured: "Don't worry, uncle, I will personally watch this time, and I will never let Xu Fu escape."

Zhao Gao nodded slightly, and left quickly.

Watching Zhao Gao leave, Yan Le grinned, and said: "My uncle is indeed extraordinary. He has been imprisoned for more than half a month. Not only has he not been affected, but he can continue to be trusted by the first emperor. If I have half the talent of my uncle, how can I Was taken down from the position of the Xianyang order?"

"But Xu Fu, hehe."

"Uncle won't let you this time, how dare I, Yan Le, let you go?"

"Isn't it better for a family to cry than to cry all the way?"

"I'll get promoted, I'll send you to death!"

Yan Le sneered, also feeling a little cold in his body, the one who came out in a hurry, his clothes were not in order, he stomped his feet, and hurried back to his bedroom.

The night is deep.
