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

Chapter 84 Only gods can decide the throne!
Zhao Gao was already very proud at this time!
Just thinking about what happened just now makes me still a little frightened.

Since he left the Hidden Palace in the winter moon, he has started his great cause of destroying the Qin Dynasty.

For the past few months, I have been working hard and sleeping hard, not daring to carry anything with me.

To put it bluntly, the way of being a political advisor is based on the human heart.

What is the tendency of the human heart?

Fame and fortune!

The matter of fame is useful at other times, but it was useless after the First Emperor unified the six kingdoms.

Just because the First Emperor gathered all the power in the world into one body, even famous generals who were famous all over the world could only retreat into seclusion or flee to the frontiers.

Just like Wang Jian and his son and Meng Tian.

This is true for famous generals, and it is also true for famous ministers.

Although the First Emperor abolished feudalism, the concept of subordinates as subordinates was still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

For example, in Meng Tian's 30-strong Great Wall Army, most of the generals and generals in the army came from the Meng family fiefs and were born as Meng family vassals.Although the First Emperor had tried his best to promote new people and try to let them replace Mengshi's role in the army, the effect was not great in a short period of time.

These generals obeyed the orders of Mengshi, not the First Emperor.Whether they are loyal or not depends on how loyal Meng Tian is to the First Emperor.

The Qin Dynasty established nobles based on military merits. All civil and military officials in the dynasty had titles, and naturally they also had fiefs.At the same time, they also have retainers, who are ministers of their ministers, and there are many of them.

At that time, Marquis Lao Ai of Changxin made a rebellion, so he took three thousand of his family's disciples as soldiers and stormed into the Palace of Prayer for Good Harvests.

A mere Changxinhou, Lao Ai, who rose to power by pleasing the Queen Mother, had followers, or a private army of three thousand, in his family. If it were Jiu Qing, the followers, servants, personal guards, etc. in the family would be armed, and it would be normal to have tens of thousands of soldiers.

There are a total of nine Jiuqings. Just these nine Jiuqings can gather [-] soldiers in Xianyang City!

This does not include the soldiers of the fief.One hundred thousand soldiers who had not returned to the command of the First Emperor were beside the couch. How could the First Emperor sleep peacefully?
And the retainers themselves are recruited by reputation. The higher the reputation, the more retainers, the more talented people, the more warriors, and the stronger the strength will naturally be.

If it were in the past, the king would still be essentially a noble, just the most powerful one among the nobles.If a minister is powerful, it is common for him to recruit many followers, directly suppress the king, depose the king, or even kill the king and replace him.

Fame is actually equivalent to power!

However, this is the First Emperor!
The First Emperor who unified the six kingdoms and no one in the world dared to disobey him!
The higher your reputation as a minister in the First Emperor's court, the sooner you will die!
Therefore, although the First Emperor also set up the Three Dukes, since he divided the most powerful prime minister into two, everyone knew his thoughts.Except for Li Si who became the Prime Minister of Zuo, no one dared to serve as the remaining two princes.

Every time the First Emperor asked the ministers to recommend talents, a strange scene would appear. Everyone would do nothing to avoid hatred, and they would recommend whoever they hated the most to the Three Dukes.

The recommender made it clear that no one without this talent and reputation would be able to take on this important task.The recommended person swore and swore that the other person was obviously a great talent, but he recommended himself as an unworthy person without recommending himself. Could it be that he had resentment towards the First Emperor.

If you can't seek fame, then you can only seek profit.

Before the First Emperor conquered the six kingdoms, the ministers worked hard with him to govern.Now that the world is unified, but the First Emperor has abolished the feudal system, there is no way to stop the nobles from grabbing profits.

And Zhao Gao was able to survive in the hidden palace for twenty years because he was good at seducing people with benefits!

After all, what reputation is there to compete for in the Hidden Palace?
If you don’t even have enough to eat, what’s the use of having a name?

The sentence "If a son named Mi is in power, we will have no place to die", the eldest son Fusu, who was originally favored by everyone, fell into the mortal world. Half of the ministers in the court believed that his blood was impure.

What's so impure about Fusu's bloodline?Although he is half of the blood of Chu, Qin and Chu are both great powers. Fusu has the blood of the two royal families. It is not a shame, but an honor!

And no matter what, it is still better than Hu Hai. After all, Hu Hai was born to a Hu woman, otherwise why is he called Hu Hai?
One is "There are Fusu in the mountains," and the other is "I was born by a Hu woman and I hope he will be as happy as a pig in the future." Which one is more orthodox?
In the final analysis, it is still the word profit.

With the benefit of the family, the heroes who destroyed Chu were forced to abandon Fusu and join Hu Hai.

Those who use personal gain to lure small profits become their lackeys!

Therefore, in just a few months, many helpers from the Wang family, Li family, Zhao family, Zhang family, etc. gathered around Hu Hai.

Including the first emperor's servants, there were also many who regarded Zhao Gao as their leader.

In addition, Li Si and Zhao Gao took advantage of the Emperor's opportunity to kill the soldiers in the sky to slander Fu Su Mengtian...

It is almost a matter of course for Hu Hai to become the second emperor of Qin!
However, so many plans and such careful arrangements were almost reversed at the last moment!
Seeing that the First Emperor was about to pass the throne to Hu Hai, some deity suddenly appeared!
Zhao Gao felt palpitated when he thought of this!
He had to admit that the theory of gods and gods was probably true!

There have been too many examples to prove this.

And it was this sudden appearance of a deity that almost plunged him into a situation beyond redemption!

Today, although he and Li Si still adhere to the principle of being ministers on the surface, in fact, they are already at odds!Even though he didn't say anything against what he said just now, everyone knew that this was forced to conceive!

Use the Qin Dynasty to force the First Emperor to die!

Moreover, Li Si's sentence about the good deeds of Che Mansion has exposed the fact that the two colluded.

It is conceivable that if the First Emperor does not die, he will be destroyed by the First Emperor next, and the Zhao family will completely live up to its existence.

However, just when everything was almost settled and Zhao Gao was unable to make a comeback, the First Emperor suddenly fell!
After Xu Fu had found the exact god and even received the magic from the god, he fell!
It can be seen from this that destiny is indeed on our side!
Jue Qin is God’s will!
You are your true destiny!
He glanced at the First Emperor again. At this time, the First Emperor's complexion was gray, his eyes were closed tightly, and his chest could not even be seen rising and falling. Only the ball of velvet that the chamberlain had placed in front of his nostrils according to tradition was still shaking gently.

Obviously, this emperor who never gave up in his life is still living tenaciously!

This is something that makes Zhao Gao somewhat regretful. However, having just experienced a shocking reversal, Zhao Gao no longer dares to expect more at this time!

Moreover, it is not necessarily a good thing that the First Emperor fell into a coma but survived!
"Have all the servants been captured?" he asked sharply.

A Weiwei Junjun was guarding the door of the big tent at this time. He was the leader of Weiweijie's personal guards. He was carved out of the same mold as Weiweijie. He had big arms and a round waist, and was extremely majestic.

Hearing Zhao Gao's inquiry, he subconsciously glanced at Wei Wei Jie, who remained silent, apparently acquiescing to Zhao Gao's control of Wei Wei's army.

"The report has passed the order of the Che Mansion and has been captured." The Marquis of Weiweijun replied hesitantly.

Zhao Gao nodded calmly, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"Behead all the servants who ran out just now." He ordered in a high-pitched voice.

The Marquis was stunned again. He couldn't help but look at Wei Weijie, and Wei Weijie also looked at Zhao Gao doubtfully.

"Why?" he said bluntly.

"The matter of the First Emperor vomiting blood and fainting is very involved! These servants were running around just now. Although they did not run out of the military camp and leaked the news, the First Emperor had his own rules for his conduct. The more the First Emperor became sick and weak, the more he needed the rules!"

"If the guard camp is not in chaos, the guard army will be stable! If the guard army is not in chaos, the court will be stable! If the court is stable, the world will naturally be stable!" He said meaningfully.Jie nodded as if he didn't understand, and looked at the military lord: "According to the order of Zhongche Mansion, behead him!"

Several chamberlains were caught outside the tent like chickens by the guard sergeants. At this time, they also heard the discussion about their life and death inside the tent. When they heard the rough and arrogant voice of the guard Jie, all of them were frightened.

They are chamberlains and slaves of the First Emperor. When the First Emperor dies, they will all be buried.

However, being buried does not mean immediate death. After all, the First Emperor was not dead at this time. Even if he died, he would have to rest for several months before being sent to the underground palace.

Moreover, entering the underground palace will not kill them all, but only imprison them in the underground palace.There is food and drink in the underground palace. Living in the underground palace is not much different from their usual stay in the palace of the First Emperor.

For these chamberlains who grew up in the palace and knew their fate from the beginning, compared to being hacked to death on the spot, living in the underground palace for several more years or even more than ten years is not unacceptable.And they are not the only ones living in the underground palace, there are also the maids of the Lingwei Palace, ministers and even officials, the total number is no less than tens of thousands.

In this way, things can be said to be as good as life.

After the servants enter the underground palace, they will even feel more comfortable than outside. After all, the First Emperor has passed away at that time, and his resting place will also be closed. In addition to preparing various things as the First Emperor did when he was alive, the servants can prepare everything else. Take as you will.

No matter what, it's better than being hacked to death with a knife!
"Guard Lieutenant, spare your life!"

"I just followed the order of the guard and asked for the medical officer. I didn't have any second thoughts!"

"Yes, I am wronged!"

The miserable cry for mercy rang out, but now that Wei Weijie had given the military order, begging for mercy had no meaning at this time.

There were several sounds of weapons, and the outside of the tent was cleared.

"Send a few soldiers to Langya Palace and invite the medical officer Xia Wuji. Remember, you must not reveal anything about the First Emperor!" Zhao Gao ordered again.

This time there was no need for Wei Wei Jie to give any more orders. The military lord at the door had already casually summoned a chief.

Listening to his orders to the chief, Zhao Gao had a hidden smile on his face.

This was Zhao Gao's grasp of people's hearts. He knew that in Wei Jie's view, loyalty meant taking good care of the First Emperor and not allowing anyone to have the opportunity to murder him.

As for the other things, he doesn’t understand and doesn’t ask!
And he directly passed the Weiweijie order. Although it may cause some confusion in the Weiwei army in a short period of time, once they get used to it, he will control the entire Weiwei army!
As for Jie, he was just an ignorant shepherd slave. Without the First Emperor, he was nothing.

Just like before, it was Wei Wei Jie who ordered the chamberlain to find a medical officer when the First Emperor fell.And he backhandedly ordered that all the internal servants who went to find the medical officer be beheaded.

Naturally, Wei Weijie just wanted to be more considerate, but in the eyes of his subordinates, what he saw was Weiweijie's incompetence!

If the First Emperor were still here, he would be able to see through Zhao Gao's tricks at a glance.

However, the First Emperor is now lying on the couch and no one knows what happened!

When he thought of this, Zhao Gao wanted to laugh again.

There is a lot to do here!
All I can say is that God helped me!
"Prime Minister..."

Wei Weijie had no idea what Zhao Gao was thinking. The First Emperor was his sun. Now that the sun was gone, he had no idea what to do except personally protect the First Emperor.

However, he still remembered the duties of the Weiwei Army, and since Li Si was here, he obviously trusted the Prime Minister of Qin more.

He looked at Li Si hesitantly and said, "Should we recall the eldest son and the young son?"

"Huh?" Li Si had been sleepwalking since the First Emperor vomited blood and fainted. At this time, when he heard Wei Weijie's question, he finally came back to his senses.

He managed to regain his composure, and finally regained some clarity in his eyes. He looked at the unconscious First Emperor with a complicated look again, and shook his head.

He sighed and said: "It is not necessary at this time. We will wait until the medical officer comes."

"What about Xu Fu's affairs with the gods and gods?" Wei Weijie's eyes were eager.

He was dull and taciturn, unable to hear much behind the scenes, and he was not clear about the plot between the First Emperor and Li Si and Zhao Gao.

But he understood, Xu Fu found the immortals, and the immortals have the power of creation and can change their fate against the will of heaven!

"This matter still depends on how the young son Hu Hai kills the dragon. If the young son has already killed the dragon, the gods and gods will become the enemies of the Qin Dynasty!"

Li Si spoke calmly, but Wei Jie suddenly choked.

He could still understand this sentence.The reason why the gods made heavy snowfall was because Hu Hai led his troops to kill the dragon on Langyata.

If the dragon has been beheaded at this time, and he still wants to ask the gods and heavenly beings to change the fate of the First Emperor, to be honest, even Wei Jie feels that the hope is extremely slim.

"So," he said eagerly, "I immediately sent soldiers to Langyatai to deliver a message, asking the young son to lead the army back."

"If this is the case, everyone in the world will know that the First Emperor is seriously ill." Li Si said calmly.

Wei Weijie was stunned again: "How about this?"

"We can only wait and see what the medical officer says."

Li Si's mind was clear at this time, and he spoke calmly: "There is no need to worry, Lieutenant Wei. Although Xu Fu's words are conclusive, we have never seen the things about the gods with our own eyes. Besides, what he said is true. The gods are hundreds of miles away from Langya. , nor is it a place that can be reached instantly.”

"The First Emperor is seriously ill at this time. It is an emergency, and we must be cautious."

"However, the medicine of immortality..." Wei Weijie did not give up his doubts.

He was interrupted by Zhao Gao as soon as he started speaking: "Weiwei is worrying too much. If the gods and gods are real, the young son will not be able to kill the dragon. If the young son kills the dragon, how can the gods and gods have the merit of creation?"

"At this time, the only thing we need to do is to protect the First Emperor and the guards!" He said meaningfully.

"This is a good thing." Li Si nodded, hammering home Zhao Gao's words.

He and Zhao Gao looked at each other.

It's easy to fool a Wei Jie, but it's not critical.

The key is whether the young son Hu Hai can complete the great task of killing the dragon!

If successful, he will become the second emperor of Qin!
If not...

The great position may fall into Fusu's hands!

The trouble is, there is a deity in the middle!
