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

Chapter 79: The First Emperor will be in great power, and the Qin Dynasty will change its destiny!

On May day, hail fell, and it could break the head of the young son Hu Hai...

Zhao Gao only felt that the world in front of him seemed to be confused in an instant, and he could not understand it.

He absentmindedly took the strip of cloth from Li Si's hand. The strip was very familiar. He had cut it from his belt before, and the blood stains on it were also very fresh.

He resisted the urge to stick out his tongue and lick it to confirm the authenticity of the blood stains.

Although the young son Hu Hai is unworthy, at least he will not lie about this matter.

Since he said his head was broken by hail, it must be true.

However, it doesn’t make sense!

Hu Hai came on stage this time to kill the dragon. His identity was a partial general appointed by the First Emperor himself, and he was engaged in military affairs!

For this reason, Hu Hai specially put on a suit of armor. Although it was just leather armor with copper plates on it, its protective power was not comparable to the three-layer heavy armor of the Guards. However, it was not too bad to say that it could be penetrated by hail. Maybe?
However, Hu Hai said, the hail is as big as a chicken?
Zhao Gao didn't know whether hailstones as big as chicken eggs could break through leather armor decorated with copper plates.

Because no one has ever seen such big hail!
Is there really hail as big as a chicken in this world?

He couldn't help but look in the direction of Langyatai.

Is Langyatai really a place of gods?Even this hailstone is so big?
Or is it that the evil spirit on Langya Platform is so evil that you can't even imagine it?

"Tingwei..."

He spoke in a daze, but suddenly realized that his voice was a bit too sharp. He quickly lowered his tone and continued in a low voice: "May I ask, can the Jiao, besides creating clouds and mirages, also be able to create hailstones?"

Li Si was also in a state of confusion at this time. Zhao Gao suddenly called him in a voice as sharp as a ghost, which startled him.

He suddenly came back to his senses and glanced at Zhao Gao's lower body subconsciously. Only then did he fully react and his eyes fell back on Zhao Gao's face without leaving any trace.

"I haven't heard of it either." He was still a little absent-minded at this time. He shook his head slightly and tried to regain clarity in his mind before continuing: "However, I don't expect this to be an evil dragon."

"What's the explanation?" Zhao Gao leaned forward slightly and looked at Li Si with burning eyes.

He was really shocked.

He was the one who promoted the killing of the dragon with one hand and supported it throughout the whole process.Although it originated from the Emperor's initiative, if it failed, it would be Zhao Gao's fault.

After all, Li Chao was recommended by him, and his young son Hu Hai was his student.

If the two men were not successful in beheading the dragon on Langyata, causing the First Emperor's plan to depose his eldest son and support Su to be frustrated, Zhao Gao would be beheaded and sacrificed to heaven. It would be a natural move to say that Zhao Gao, the sycophant, caused the First Emperor to do unethical things.

Of course, it was not that Zhao Gao never thought that the dragon slaying might fail.However, what he imagined was that the evil dragon's teeth and claws were so sharp that the three layers of heavy armor of the guards could not stop it, or that the evil dragon's body was too weak to be penetrated by weapons.

Even if this evil dragon suddenly mutates and can breathe fire, Zhao Gao can accept it.

Even if he fails in this way, it is just because the evil is powerful and unexpected, and it is not Zhao Gao's fault. It even proves that Zhao Gao is right.

However, this evil dragon's actions are consistent with the way of heaven, which is unreasonable.

Not to mention the fact that Hu Hai led the guards and lost their way on Langyatai, the previous two days and even the current summer hail are all signs of warning from God!

If the First Emperor knew about it, there could be two explanations for this matter.

One is that God is not happy about killing the dragon, so God sends a warning.Since there is a police officer in heaven, the police officer is naturally Zhao Gao, who advocates the killing of dragons.

Secondly, if the dragon has the ability to follow the way of heaven, then it is not a monster, but an auspicious beast, and Zhao Gao is the monster!
No matter which one it is, it means that Zhao Gao will replace the evil dragon and kill the heaven at Langyatai!
"I once heard my teacher say," Li Si frowned in the face of Zhao Gao's burning eyes, "The ocean is a place with abundant water vapor. This is called sea air!"

"And the earth also has earth air. If the sea air intersects with the earth air, there will be heavy rain, or dragons will absorb water. And hail falling from the sky is also seen occasionally."

"Besides," he continued, "Although I don't know what the magic power of the dragon is, I do know that only a dragon can spread rain. If the dragon on Langya Platform can further drop hail, then it is not a dragon, but a dragon. It’s a dragon!”

"However, we know that it is definitely not a dragon, because a dragon has five claws! Since it is not a dragon, it naturally cannot do the things of heaven!"

Li Si spoke with certainty, and Zhao Gao breathed a sigh of relief.

This is indeed the truth.These days, everyone respects the way of heaven. It is very clear which things are matters of heaven and which are matters of human beings.

Although the dragon is supernatural, it is not a dragon, phoenix, unicorn or other heavenly beast, or a mythical beast!

How can a mere spiritual beast risk the power of heaven?
but……

A flash of thought suddenly appeared in Zhao Gao's mind.

According to what Fusu and Meng Tian said, as well as the rumors of the villagers in Langya County, the dragon on Langya Platform was enlightened by a heavenly being from Yunmeng Mountain!
Of course, a dragon cannot do the things of heaven, but what about a heavenly being?
It is said that on that day, this heavenly being used the clouds that the white snake turned into a dragon to spread rain, benefiting all the people in Langya County.

Could it be...

This is the hailstone made by heaven and man. Are heaven and man also on Langya platform at this time?
impossible!
As soon as this idea appeared in his mind, Zhao Gao dismissed it directly.

The people of Qin don’t believe in gods at all!
The Great Qin Dynasty practiced the teachings of Legalism, and Legalism was based on the rule of law, and everything in the world was regulated.

This is an extremely realistic theory. Since King Shang, Qin has practiced Legalism for more than a hundred years, and the law has long been greater than the sky.

Just like the Nine Cauldrons of Zhou Dynasty, it was said that destiny was contained in it, but the result was that it was not cast into a golden man by the First Emperor, nor did God blame it, and gods came to visit.

However, although he was relieved, Li Sizhi's erudition was still somewhat beyond Zhao Gao's expectations.

He bowed his hands respectfully: "May I ask Tingwei, who is your respected master?"

Zhao Gao's respect made Li Si slightly proud.He touched his silky beard and said with emotion: "I learned from Xunzi."

Zhao Gao was suddenly stunned.

Xunzi's name is heard by everyone in the world.Although he is a Confucianist, he is highly respected even in the Qin State, which was founded on Legalism.

After all, this was a man who had served as the Jixia Academy's liberator for three times, and who was equivalent to the principal of later generations.Moreover, although he is a Confucianist, his theories are consistent with Legalism, and it is rumored that he is actually a Confucian scholar.

Not only Xunzi is famous, but his disciples are also famous.His disciple Han Feizi and even the First Emperor once lamented: "Alas, I would hate to die if I could see this man hanging out with him!"

I didn't expect that Li Si's teacher would be such a person. No wonder he, with a humble background as a Lu Buweishen, could rise to the top and become the ninth lieutenant of the Great Qin Dynasty and the prime minister of Zuo!
A trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

Li Si was a disciple of a famous teacher, and when he got along with him today, Zhao Gao found that this man was knowledgeable and astute.

This is indeed the style of a famous minister!

Such a famous minister, even if the youngest son Hu Hai ascends the throne as the second emperor of Qin, he will still be reused!

On the other hand, although I was born into the Zhao family, it had already declined.At this time, it was Xing Yu who was born even more deficient.The most important thing is that what Zhao Gao learned is Zonghengshu. Although Zonghengshu is very good at manipulating power, it is far inferior to other schools of thought in terms of practical governance!
In this way, although Zhao Gao is Hu Hai's teacher, Hu Hai is currently obedient to Zhao Gao. However, once Hu Hai becomes the second emperor of Qin, he will definitely rely on Li Si and underestimate Zhao Gao!

You need to make plans early and don’t raise tigers to cause trouble!

Although Zhao Gao had made up his mind instantly in his heart, he didn't show it at all on his face.

He solemnly raised his hands: "Tingwei has a wise teacher, and Tingwei's teacher also has a wise disciple!"

"The order of CRRC is Muzansi." Li Si saluted and sang in harmony.

Zhao Gao smiled slightly and brought the topic back to the right track: "So, the hailstorm must have nothing to do with evil spirits, and it cannot last long?"

Li Si also smiled proudly: "Of course it is. How can a mere monster dare to do the things of heaven?"

"Besides, this hail may be the way of heaven to bring order out of chaos. Fog is water vapor, and when hail falls, the fog naturally melts into frost."

He continued: "I predict that the young son Hu Hai will only have to wait on the stage for a while. In a short time, the hail will stop and the fog will dissipate..."

He suddenly paused, with a look of surprise on his face: "Who is doing Pegasus in the mountains?"

Zhao Gao was also stunned. Langyatai has now been blocked by the Weiwei Army, including Zhushan.Besides, a court official and nine ministers are here, who dares to fly a horse in front of Li Si?
He subconsciously turned his head to look, and the next moment, a strange look appeared on his face.

"It seems to be the chamberlain!"

The other party was wearing a black undecorated robe and a square black hat also undecorated. This was the attire of a chamberlain, and Zhao Gao recognized it at a glance.

He looked at Li Si, who also had a look of surprise on his face.

Both of them knew that the chamberlains of the Qin Dynasty would accompany the First Emperor when they left the palace, and there had never been any instances of chamberlains breaking into the army directly.

Did something go wrong?
The two of them stood up in unison, straightened their robes, tied their hands and waited respectfully.

No matter why the servant is here, he must be here on the orders of the First Emperor!

The chamberlain rode very fast, and in an instant he was in front of the two men. He swept past the respectful Li Si and Zhao Gao with high arrogance, and then he rolled off the saddle and dismounted.

"Why is it so cold!" He muttered, and then said sharply: "The First Emperor's decree!"

Li Si and Zhao Gao prostrated themselves in the dirt without hesitation, while the chamberlain continued to speak: "Li Si, the imperial commander, and Zhao Gao, the commander of the Zhongche Mansion, hurry to the Langya camp to pay an audience!"

"I obey the order!" Li Si Zhaogao bowed to the ground and spoke respectfully. When he raised his head, he just looked at each other, and both of them saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Didn’t the First Emperor pray for the Heavenly Sacrifice in Langya Palace?Why did you suddenly run to Langya Camp?

The two bowed again and then stood up. Zhao Gao took the lead and said calmly: "Do you know why the First Emperor suddenly came to Langya camp?"

The chamberlain looked around carefully, and Zhao Gao and Li Si also reacted and dismissed all the people around them.

Seeing that everyone had retreated to a place where they could no longer hear the conversation, the chamberlain who was so arrogant just now suddenly became humble. He flattered and said in a low voice: "In response to the order of Zhongche Mansion, I will go to the Immortal Palace today. Praying in a fasting room, it seems that he took the medicine that Fusu brought back from Yunmeng Mountain, and then he vomited blood and fainted. After waking up, he issued this metaphorical order!"

Although the chamberlain's voice was low, it sounded like thunder in Li Si and Zhao Gao's ears!
Li Si's face instantly turned pale, while Zhao Gao's face turned flushed, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

"Come here!" Zhao Gao couldn't care less about the chamberlain and Li Si at this time, and he suddenly stopped shouting.

"Quickly send an order to your young son Hu Hai, the hail is the intersection of earth energy and sea energy, and has nothing to do with evil dragons. It will stop in a short time!"

"The stakes in killing the dragon are very important, and the young son must not ignore it!"

He quickly continued: "Please order the soldiers not to tell the young son that the First Emperor summoned us. If the young son has any questions, tell him that I am not feeling well and will leave for the time being. When the young son comes back from killing the dragon, I will personally sing for him!"

"Go quickly!"

He waved his sleeves and watched as Sui Ren ran away to deliver the message. Zhao Gao turned to look at Li Si.

"We need Pegasus to travel!"

Li Si's whole body was trembling at this time. He forced himself to steady himself. He looked at Zhao Gao again with a pale face and nodded.

Li Si is the Prime Minister of Zuo, the Tingwei Jiuqing, and an important minister of the country.Zhao Gaonai was the official of the Central Chefion Bureau and a close servant of the First Emperor.

The two of them naturally knew that the First Emperor's body had long been poisoned by stone medicine. Although it appeared to be only a minor illness, the medical officer Xia Wuji had already said that the First Emperor's poison had already entered the order of his life!
His daily majesty remains the same, he is just trying to support himself!

Now that he is vomiting blood and fainting, I'm afraid something big is going to happen!

……

Langya Camp is only a few miles away from Langya Terrace.

Li Si, Zhao Gao and others abandoned their light carriages and ignored the appearance of Pegasus. It only took a moment to reach the camp.

This was originally the barracks where the Weiwei army supervised the people of Langya villagers in quarrying and paving roads. Only [-] soldiers were stationed here.

However, at this moment, the entire camp was filled to the brim with soldiers. The guards and soldiers wearing three layers of heavy armor were full of murderous intent and surrounded the camp.

Li Si, Zhao Gao and others were ordered to dismount at the gate of their camp. The soldiers even touched their entire bodies, including their crotches.

He never left his body, and the sword representing his identity as a scholar-official was also taken away before he was allowed to enter.

This was unprecedented treatment, and it could even be said to be an insult. However, neither Li Si nor Zhao Gao dared to say a word.

Under the leadership of the chamberlain, the two of them bowed their heads extremely humbly and walked all the way to the residence of the First Emperor. This was originally the main tent of the Five Hundred Lords, but now it has become the tent of the First Emperor.

"Your Majesty, Li Si, Zhao Gao, I am here to see you by order of the First Emperor!" The two of them respectfully rolled their names in front of the low and cramped tent. After several breaths, the First Emperor's voice finally sounded.

"come in."

Li Si, Zhao Gao and Li Si looked at each other. There was an unconcealable weakness in the voice of the First Emperor. He did not even use his usual condescending tone. Instead, there was an unprecedented intimacy.

But they couldn't say anything at the moment, and they couldn't even show an expression. The two looked at each other again, and walked in respectfully. As soon as they raised their sleeves, the weak voice of the First Emperor sounded again.

"Both of you, dear friends, are the bones of the country, so there is no need for you to be polite."

Taking this opportunity, Zhao Gao secretly glanced at the First Emperor. The next moment, he almost became happy.

The First Emperor's face was already sallow, with a hint of pure gray in it, and a trace of death lingered over his seal.

Sure enough, he guessed right.

The First Emperor, I am afraid that his great success is not far away!
Great Qin is about to change its days!
