Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

Chapter 76 The First Emperor!It's snowing? !
Li Si's face was calm and his voice was calm, but in Zhao Gao's eyes, it was like hearing thunder in a silent place!

He naturally knew that the First Emperor was indeed as Li Si said.

Everyone in the world thought that the First Emperor summoned scholars from all over the world to seek the medicine of immortality, and treated them well.If there really were gods, the First Emperor would naturally treat each other with courtesy and kind words.

This is what a fool thinks!

The First Emperor is the First Emperor after all. He has always compared himself to the ancient sage kings, and the ancient sage kings all gave orders to the world. No one dares to disobey!
In front of the Holy Lord, the gods are still the subjects of the Qin Dynasty, and they still have to listen to the Holy Lord's orders!
How could he be so groveling?
And he also understood why Li Si didn't retaliate.

It's not that Li Si saw through Zhao Gao's thoughts, but for Li Si, repaying the First Emperor and fighting for it in two days on Langya stage was not only a failure, but also a mistake!
The First Emperor had fallen into paranoia at this time, and Li Si reported that he was going to cause trouble on the second day. Although he was fulfilling his duties as prime minister, in the eyes of the First Emperor, he could not help but suspect that he was also preparing to make a fuss about this matter and seek personal gain.

After all, everyone knows that the First Emperor is probably not far away from his great power. At this time, he will only be more suspicious and impatient than usual!

A strange color flashed in Zhao Gao's eyes.

He learned the art of manipulation in the hidden palace, and the art of manipulation is ultimately about manipulating people's hearts to lure them.

The Hidden Palace is a dark place, and everyone has forgotten the so-called benevolence, righteousness and morality. After all, the more virtuous people there, the faster they will die.

Zhao Gao was able to survive in it for 20 years. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the King of Gu.

He always thought that he was the only one with the ability to see through people's hearts, and even Li Si and his ilk were manipulated by him.

However, today Li Si finally tore through his usual submissive veil and showed his side as the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty.

Not to mention anything else, just in terms of interpretation of what the First Emperor thought, he even went further than Zhao Gao!
Even Zhao Gao had to admire secretly in his heart, what Li Si said hit the mark!
The First Emperor compares himself to a holy king. A unified and stable world is his great achievement!

He seeks immortality precisely to safeguard his great cause, and his longing for immortality ranks second to this.

The First Emperor exercised his authority over the world and was supreme. The authority of the whole world was also a weapon for him to maintain his great cause.

Therefore, immortality is a tool to bring peace to the world, and authority is also a weapon to bring peace to the world!
At this time, it was the time when the First Emperor mistakenly trusted the alchemists, which caused chaos in the world. The First Emperor issued the Three Kill Order to calm the people of the world.

As a holy king, how could the First Emperor bow his head to a mere alchemist or god?
As a holy king, how could the First Emperor seek the so-called elixir of immortality at the expense of changing his orders every day and losing all his authority?

If he chooses to seek the elixir of immortality, even if he obtains it, how can he once again suppress the hearts of those in the world who are ready to move?

but……

A trace of curiosity emerged in Zhao Gao's heart, and he said politely: "Speaking of which, I have something to ask the court captain."

"If there really are gods in the world, can the First Emperor really kill them?"

He looked at Li Si with burning eyes, and Li Si suddenly burst into laughter.

"Ha ha!"

At this time, he finally had some of the heroic spirit of the Prime Minister of Qin, and looked at Li Si with the same stern eyes: "Has the Commander of the CRRC House ever thought about something?"

Before Li Si could speak, he continued: "Has there ever been an immortal in our Qin Dynasty?"

Zhao Gao was slightly startled and shook his head honestly: "No."

The Qin Dynasty had only alchemists and liars, but no gods.Moreover, the people of Qin have not believed in gods since the Zhou Dynasty.

The people of Chu, on the other hand, said every day that they were descendants of the ancestral god Donghuang Taiyi, and that there were immortals living in seclusion everywhere in Chu.

People in Qi and even Yue said that Langyatai was a place of gods, and there were fairy mountains and so on overseas.

"Since our Great Qin has no gods, how can our Great Qin's cavalry unify the six kingdoms?" Li Si asked again.

Zhao Gao was startled again.

And Li Si had already continued: "There has never been a god in our Qin Dynasty. To dominate the world, we relied on the dedication of our soldiers and their strong armor!"

"And there are gods in the Six Kingdoms. When the Qin Dynasty swept across the world, it also encountered many strange people. It can be said that they are gods."

"There are also those who claim the destiny of heaven and say that he is the son of the emperor and is protected by heaven."

"Now, where are the six countries? Where are the strangers from the six countries?"

"Where is the man who calls himself destiny?"

Zhao Gao was thoughtful.

The so-called gods are all based on everyone's imagination. No one has ever seen them, and they don't know what kind of magical powers they have. It's just rumored that gods have magical powers, or they may be immortal!
In the process of unifying the world, the Qin Dynasty encountered many magical people. Some of them could drive away all kinds of beasts, and some could do bewitching things. They were extraordinary at first glance.

However, they all died at the hands of the iron-blooded warriors of Great Qin.

In addition, the Emperor of Zhou was the co-ruler of the world for hundreds of years, and he had the Nine Cauldrons as a sacred object to control the country. Everyone in the world said that he was destined by destiny.

However, the First Emperor destroyed the six kingdoms, exterminated the Zhou Dynasty, collected the Nine Cauldrons, and directly merged with the Jin people, and there was no punishment from heaven.

"So, gods have nothing to fear, but destiny has nothing to fear?" he said meaningfully.

To be honest, the vision on Langyatai this time touched Zhao Gao's mind quite a bit. He never expected that Langyatai would be so supernatural.

Hu Hai ascended Langyatai and beheaded the dragons all by himself, and all of this was due to Jue Qin.

However, for such a simple thing, accidents happen frequently, it gets foggy, we get lost, and now there are even two days.

Could this be a warning from God?

"Haha!" Zhao Gao's solemn expression was replaced by Li Si's laughter again.

"We are mortals, and we naturally need to respect destiny." He laughed and said, "However, the vision on Langya Stage at this time is not destiny."

"Since the Commander-in-Chief of the CRRC knows that the dragon can travel through the clouds," he said with a burning gaze, "then there are several illusions in the clouds. Is there anything surprising about them?"

Zhao Gao's eyes suddenly lit up: "This is a mirage!"

He had completely understood it at this time.

No wonder the young son Hu Hai and the cavalry captain Li Chao got lost on Langyatai. The heavy fog would not be able to do this, but if mirage is added, it would make sense!

Moreover, if there was a police force in heaven, how could it only warn the guards on Langya Platform?

"Today I know how wise the Prime Minister of Qin is!" He held his hands in submission with a cold look in his eyes.

Ever since Li Si's handle was held by Zhao Gao, he has always been submissive, and Zhao Gao has always looked down on him, thinking that the so-called famous officials are nothing more than this.

However, we now know that although Li Si is not as good as him in terms of verticality and horizontality, his insights and planning are even worse!

In fact, he is also unique in his grasp of people's hearts. His only advantage may be that Li Si is a scholar-bureaucrat, and noble conduct is still his pursuit, and he strives to behave like a gentleman!
This person cannot help Hu Hai, he is his own enemy!
Li Si naturally didn't know what Zhao Gao was thinking. After all, in his opinion, there was no conflict of interest between Zhao Gao and himself.

He also returned the salute: "Your Majesty, CRRC, is very complimentary." The two of them looked at each other and smiled, quite pleased with each other.Zhao Gao put down his saluting hand and waved his sleeves.

"Come here!" he shouted in a high-spirited voice.

"Tune the bed crossbow, carry the silk book with the sounding arrow, and shoot at the noisy places on the mountain road!"

"Young son Hu Hai, don't panic the soldiers. This is a mirage, all illusion!"

"I predict that a mere mirage will not be able to stop the army of young men!"

……

When the soldiers around Zhao Gao faithfully ran down the mountain to convey Zhao Gao's orders, Hu Hai was already extremely angry on Langya Platform.

The matter of killing the dragon was related to whether the First Emperor deposed Fusu and whether Hu Hai could ascend to the throne. He just wished he could kill the evil dragon on the top of Langyata now under his own sword to avoid long nights and dreams.

After all, Meng Tian had guarded Su in the north for many years, and his 30 troops were also fierce soldiers in hundreds of battles.At this time, they didn't know that Fusu and Mengtian had been imprisoned. If they found out, they didn't know how they would react.

Every moment at this time is precious.

But he has been blocked here for so long!

It would be fine if the evil spirit on top of Langya Platform was truly extraordinary, but in the end it only caused a little mist to come out, which made me so embarrassed!

Now, there is another day with two days!
He looked at the lost Li Chao fiercely: "What if there are only two days in the sky? What if we fight for two days? What if the world is in chaos?"

His tone was stern: "If you fight with me one day, I will kill you! If there is chaos in the world, I will kill one person!"

"In this way, there will eventually be only me in the sky, and the world will eventually be at peace!"

Li Chao looked at Hu Hai dumbfounded.

People in the Qin Dynasty were extremely simple and paid attention to the so-called "Tao".

This Tao is not the Taoist Tao, but refers to morality.

The king has the morals that the king needs to abide by, the scholar-bureaucrats have the morals of the scholar-bureaucrats, and the common people also have the morals of the common people.

If the princes rise together and the world is in chaos, the ruler must first examine his own morality to see if he meets God's requirements for the ruler. If he does not, then he is naturally immoral.

Those who are unruly must change. If they do not change, they will be rejected by heaven and earth.Even if a commoner kills his king, it is still a rightful act to defeat an unjust one.

Even if they are unprincipled like Xia, Jie, Shang and Zhou, they are just ministers who are far away and sycophants, who listen to slander, love to punish and kill, and make national affairs a trivial matter.

Has anyone ever made such a declaration that if I don’t have the right, I will have no right? If you dare not respect me, I will kill you all?
He couldn't help but shudder, and there was a chill in his heart.

"But now we are blocked by the fog, and we have only two days to fight out..."

No matter how unscrupulous the young son Hu Hai was, he had already boarded his ship and had no choice at this time.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued: "It's better to stay where you are for the time being and wait until the sun reaches high in the sky and the fog dissipates before going on stage. This way you won't lose your military vehicles..."

"Why wait?" Hu Hai's patience had reached its limit at this time. He directly interrupted Li Chao and said coldly: "There are currently [-] front troops on the top of the stage. If the soldiers are ordered to shout loudly, they will also make noise. If we move towards their voices, why don’t we just go on stage from the side?”

Li Chao was stunned again.

The Weiwei Army was currently on the second level of the mountain path. If they climbed directly from the side of the platform, they would reach the top of Langya Platform in only twenty or thirty feet.It sounds doable.

However, it is only possible to say that it is feasible. The words of the young son Hu Hai are quite meant to be on paper.

He carefully cupped his hands and said, "General, the guards are carrying three layers of heavy armor, as well as provisions, crossbows, arrows, weapons, and many other things. They are carrying as much as a stone. The side of the platform is very steep. If the guards do not remove their armor, they will abandon their chariots." , I’m afraid I won’t be able to climb up!”

"According to the military regulations of the Guards Army, anyone who does not remove armor in the military camp will be killed, and those who abandon their troops and chariots will be deemed to have lost their troops!"

The look of impatience on Hu Hai's face became even more intense: "The Weiwei Army is so cumbersome, I will change it in the future."

Li Chao was silent.

The Weiwei Army was the First Emperor's personal army and was responsible for guarding the First Emperor and also performing ceremonial duties for the First Emperor.

When the First Emperor went on tour, he naturally had to have a royal air and be well protected.

Therefore, the guards must have chariots when traveling. If they camp in the wild at night, the chariots can serve as a city.The sergeants of the Guards did not take off their armor even when sleeping, so as to protect the First Emperor.

If something unexpected happens, the Weiwei army can fight as soon as they get up.When the First Emperor went on patrol, he naturally took the straight road to Qin. Even if the thieves were powerful, the Wei army could not protect them fully, and there were still military chariots.The chariot is heavy. Once the First Emperor is guarding it and they all charge forward, who can take advantage of it?
However, Hu Hai only saw the shortcomings of military chariots and military discipline, but could not see the benefits, so he simply changed them...

"Young Master, even if you abandon the chariot and remove the armor," he reminded carefully, "the crossbow is heavy, and we can't get on the stage from the side. And without the crossbow, we may not be able to kill the dragon!"

After days of heavy rain, the earth wall on the side of the Langya platform has become extremely soft. I am afraid that even a bare-handed person cannot climb up it, let alone carry a bed crossbow.

Hu Hai was startled, this was indeed a problem.

"That's it," he snorted angrily, "order the soldiers to find the location of the earth wall first, and then dig the earth to build the road."

"Let's open a new mountain road up the mountain!"

"Young Master, this plan may not be feasible." At this time, Li Chao felt that his heart was filled with fear, but it was not for the evil dragon on the top of the stage, but for Hu Hai.

Obviously coming with Hu Hai to kill the dragon this time was the opportunity he had always dreamed of. Li returned to the court, but today, he had the urge to lead the army to turn around and return to the foot of the mountain.

"It has been raining for days and the earth has already softened. If we dig it hastily, it may collapse and bury the soldiers under the earth."

He continued with a complicated mood, "And even if a new road is dug, it cannot be tightened in a hurry, and the military vehicles cannot move!"

"Ha ha!"

Hu Hai sneered, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "It's only a few dozen feet, even if it collapses, how many soldiers can be buried?"

"After the mountain road is dug out, infantry will be used to pave the way. Half of the five thousand troops will be paved, and only the chariots and crossbows will be left. Wouldn't it be certain?"

As if Li Chaoru was struck by lightning, he felt like he was instantly chilled all over!

He opened his mouth and turned to look in the direction of his soldiers. Although he could not see anything due to the heavy fog, he seemed to vaguely hear the wails of his soldiers under the wheels!
To kill the dragon, we only needed chariots and crossbows, so we asked the infantry of long and short soldiers to pave the way so that the chariots and crossbows could board the Langyata...

This is no longer unethical, but cruel!
Since the Xia Dynasty, there has never been such a cruel king!
Even those who belonged to Jie and Zhou were far inferior!
Li Chao felt that his whole body could not help but tremble violently, and even his teeth began to chatter.

He raised his head subconsciously, and the next moment, he was stunned again.

"It's snowing?!!"
