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

Chapter 87 The matter of gods is related to who will be the second emperor of Qin!
Xia Wu looked at Li Si, Zhao Gao and others expectantly. He had been obsessed with medical skills all his life and had never paid attention to the affairs of the court, nor did he care who Fu Su and Hu Hai were as the second emperor of Qin.

Anyway, he is the descendant of the miraculous doctor Bian Que, and he was responsible for saving the First Emperor. He is also a medical officer. He is not involved in court disputes, and his status is inherently aloof.

After all, who wants to offend a famous doctor for no reason?

Not only will they not offend, but they will try their best to do what they like.

Xia Wuji is not greedy for power, nor does he want to fight in court. The only thing he pursues is medical skills.

Moreover, his medical skills are not unparalleled in the world, but they are not far behind. The reason is precisely because he inherited Bian Que's pulse diagnosis technique.

Bian Que was a miraculous doctor during the Warring States Period. He created the so-called Four Diagnosis Methods, which are still in use more than 2000 years later.

Among the four diagnostic methods, Qie is the pulse, which is the essence of the four diagnostic methods.Bian Que is therefore known as the ancestor of pulse diagnosis.

However, Bian Que is not just one person. Just like Ju Zi, the leader of the Mohist family, whoever inherits the core inheritance will be called this name.

So speaking of it, Xia Wuqie is actually the contemporary Bian Que.It's just that the Qinyue man named Bian Que was killed by the medical officers of the Qin State at that time. Xia Wuji not only inherited Bian Que's four diagnostic methods, but also learned the accumulation of the medical officers of the Qin Palace. Bian Que and All the medical officers of the Qin Dynasty in the past dynasties were his forefathers.

Just now, Xia Wuju used the pulse-taking method taught by Bian Que to check the pulse of the First Emperor.Judging from the pulse, the First Emperor's pulse was extremely weak, his eyes were dull, and there was no reaction. This was a typical symptom of mental disorder.

As for the syndrome of Shentuo, according to what Xia Wuque learned and observed, most of the pulse conditions will gradually weaken and slow down, and eventually disappear, at which point the person will be dead.

Perhaps it was because the soul was gone and could not return, Xia Wuqi could only speculate this way.

Of course, according to the scientific theory of later generations, a state of detachment is a deep coma.At this time, the person has either lost the ability to breathe on his own, or the breathing is too weak, causing the brain to become deprived of oxygen.As the pulse weakens, the lack of oxygen becomes severe and eventually leads to brain death.

Even in later generations, deep coma is an extremely dangerous situation. First aid must be carried out immediately, through the use of hyperbaric oxygen, cardiac injections, vasopressors and other methods to try to avoid the consequences of brain death.

Naturally, these methods cannot be possessed by the Qin Dynasty, so Xia Wuji said very decisively that all he had to do was wait for death.

The First Emperor also suffered from mental illness, but his pulse was extremely firm. Although it was thin, it was full of vitality.

This is what makes Xia Wuqie curious and looking forward to it.

This must be the result of taking medicine.

However, although there were several doctors in the Qin Palace, the only medical officer and the only one qualified to give medicine to the First Emperor was Xia Wuji.

If he were not here, who would dare to give medicine to the First Emperor?
Seeing Li Si, Zhao Gao, and even Wei Wei Jie all looking confused, Xia Wuji looked at the chamberlain on the side.

"Have you ever given medicine to the First Emperor?" he asked eagerly.

"I never gave medicine to the First Emperor." Several chamberlains shook their heads hurriedly.

"But..." One of the chamberlains seemed to have remembered something, he was thoughtful.

"But what?" Xia Wuji asked.

"I heard," the chamberlain knelt down beside the soft couch of the First Emperor, and spoke uncertainly, "When the First Emperor was fasting and praying in the quiet room today, it seems that he once consumed the dregs of medicine that Master Fusu brought back from Yunmeng Mountain."

"Medicine residue?" Xia Wuji was suddenly stunned.

He ignored the affairs of the court and paid no attention to what Fusu had brought with him when he returned from Chu.

Since the First Emperor believed that Fusu was deceiving him, and what he brought back was medicine residue instead of medicine, he naturally would not ask Xia Wuqi to identify it.

The expressions of Li Si and Zhao Gao suddenly condensed.

The Emperor Shi Huang vomited blood after eating the dregs of medicine brought back by Fu Su. They had heard the chamberlain mention this before when Emperor Shi Emperor summoned him.

At that time, the two of them just thought it was God's help.It was a well-known fact that the First Emperor was about to die, and what the two men were seeking was to confirm that Hu Hai was the second emperor of Qin before the First Emperor died.

Originally, Hu Hai was not in a good position to kill the dragon, and the two of them were already a little worried. Unexpectedly, news suddenly came that the First Emperor vomited blood and fainted. Moreover, he still took the so-called medicine left by heaven and man brought back by Fusu!
Doesn't this mean that he is determined to support Su Hulang and actually wants to poison his own father?

Unexpectedly, Xia Wuji actually said that the First Emperor had taken a magical elixir!
It was this that made the two of them confused and panicked.

Neither of them cared about what Fusu brought back, and the First Emperor never showed these things to them.

I just know roughly that it is just some medicine dregs.

What does a little bit of medicine residue have to do with the elixir?
However, if Fusu didn't lie, then these medicine residues were left behind by heaven and man.

If it was left by heaven and man, then it would have some magical effects, which seems to make sense.

The two looked at each other and saw the bitterness in each other's eyes.

What was once a matter of course has now become rife with ups and downs, and the mood of the two of them is also ups and downs.

They are all given by this so-called gods and gods!
Why does such a thing exist in the world!

"What kind of medicine residue?" Xia Wuji asked expectantly, not knowing what Li Si and Zhao Gao were thinking.

"I don't know much about the slaves. The people waiting outside the quiet room at that time were not slaves." The chamberlain has always been familiar with Xia Wuji. After all, Xia Wuji is probably the only man who has all the parts in his body and can enter the palace of the First Emperor, and he has always been a chamberlain. Go and invite.

With Xia Wuji in front of them, the chamberlains obviously felt a lot more at ease. One of the chamberlains said attentively: "I just heard that the First Emperor dipped a little bit of it on his finger. The eldest son Fusu and the general Meng Tian brought them back from Yunmeng Mountain. After tasting the herbal medicine, he vomited blood and fainted for a while."

"Herbal medicine? Vomiting blood and fainting?" Xia Wuji frowned.

Although the medical skills of the Qin Dynasty had developed to the stage of decoction and medicine, people at this time placed more emphasis on medicine and stones than on plants and trees.It was not until the Han Dynasty that herbal medicine became popular after the legend of Shen Nong tasting hundreds of herbs.

For example, the best antidote at this time is realgar, which is a sulfide mineral.

The biggest advantage of mineral medicines over herbal medicines is that they produce results faster, because minerals are far more toxic than plants and trees, and treating diseases relies on fighting poison with poison.If you are bitten by a snake and eat realgar, you will either be cured immediately or die immediately.

Therefore, during the Warring States Period, when people said that medical skills were superb, they always praised the person's life and death, flesh and bone, which is often said in later generations, and flesh and bone, which shows the rapid effect.

At this time, there was no such thing as the origin theory of later generations. The advantages of herbal medicines, that is, nourishing qi and cultivating the spirit, had not yet been discovered. In everyone's opinion, it was a matter of course that medicinal herbs were not as good as medicinal stones. Even the contemporary Bian Que Xia Wuji did the same. Think so.

Not to mention herbal medicine, even the best stone medicine, such as the purest realgar, cannot produce curative effects by just dipping a little on your finger.

"This may be because my method of diagnosing the pulse is still insufficient." He shook his head slightly.

After all, the method of diagnosing the pulse has only been around for less than a few decades. The famous "Bian Que Meets Duke Huan of Cai" was written by Li Si's senior brother, Han Feizi.

After Bian Que met Duke Huan of Cai, he fled Qin and became a medical officer of the Qin Palace. He devoted himself to studying the four diagnostic methods, and then he had the art of diagnosing the pulse.The art of diagnosing the pulse is currently fashionable and is only an unreliable auxiliary means. Among the four diagnostic methods, cutting is ranked last, which can be seen from this.

Xia Wuqie did not dare to assert that his pulse diagnosis was correct, and in his opinion, there could never be such a magical herbal medicine in the world.

"Let me go and make a decoction to use up all my strength." He looked at the dead-like First Emperor and replied with a sigh. …

Seeing Xia Wuji walk out of the tent, Li Si and Zhao Gao breathed a sigh of relief.

Today was a day of ups and downs, and the two of them felt that they were extremely tired.

Fusu and medicine were the key for the two to clear the way for Hu Hai as the second Qin Dynasty.

Fortunately, Xia Wu was not sure.

Moreover, in their opinion, if the elixir made by gods and gods can have such magical effects, it would be justified.However, just a little bit of medicinal dregs, and even more so, it should not be able to have such a heaven-defying effect.

Not to mention that they don't believe it, even Fusu and Mengtian, who brought this medicine all the way back, probably don't believe it either.

People in the Qin Dynasty were extremely simple and even realistic.Unlike later generations, any thing can have some kind of divinity. In the eyes of most people, the so-called immortals can only live forever. Although heavenly beings have some supernatural powers, they are only caused by the blood of gods and humans, and are not immortal. It won’t be omnipotent.

But obviously this was not the time to relax. Li Si and Zhao Gao looked at each other again and said in a deep voice: "Where is Xu Fu?"

A soldier from the Guards raised his hands at the gate and replied: "Bao Tingwei, the Xunxian Envoy has arrived at the gate of the camp and is waiting for the summons!"

Xu Fu didn't know that the First Emperor had arrived at Langya Camp. Under the guard of the guard sergeants, he went to Langya Palace together before coming to the camp.

Therefore, he arrived almost at the same time as the medical officer Xia Wuqie.However, since the First Emperor had fainted, the first person to enter the camp was of course the medical officer Xia Wuji.

"There is no need to summon him." Li Si's face was as dark as water, and he waved his hand directly, "Take him to the Tingwei Prison and punish him for deceiving the First Emperor!"

"and many more!"

Wei Wei Jie suddenly spoke, his face full of confusion, and he bowed his hand to Li Si: "Ting Wei, why don't you summon Xu Fu?"

"Why are you summoned?" Li Si, as the prime minister, was not polite to Wei Jie, so he asked calmly.

Wei Weijie didn't take it seriously. He moved his lips slightly, as if he was organizing his words. After a few breaths, he finally spoke: "Xu Fu received the teachings from heaven and man, and found the immortals in the sea outside Langya."

"If we order him to go to sea again immediately," he said eagerly, "it might be too late to get the medicine of immortality!"

Li Si looked unmoved and glanced at the First Emperor.

Xia Wuqe was a famous doctor in the world, and Li Si had no doubts about his judgment.

Since Xia Wuji said that the First Emperor could no longer wake up and was just waiting to die, Li Si had no worries at all at this time.

He said calmly: "Even if what Xu Fu said is true, the gods are at least a hundred miles away from Langya."

"To go into the sea for hundreds of miles, you need a big boat. Now the nine giant boats led by Xu Fu have not returned, and the Daqin navy is in Fusang. Where can they get another big boat?"

Wei Wei Jie choked.

Although he was dull, he also knew that what Li Si said was indeed a key issue.

During the Qin Dynasty, navigation technology was still in a period of ignorance. Going to the distant sea purely relied on the large number of people on board and not fear of death.

After all, we don’t even understand diseases such as septicemia these days, and although sailing has been invented, we still know very little about the ocean currents and monsoons. There are no charts and hydrological data, and there is not even a fixed route. We only know a rough idea. the orientation.

If there is a big boat, we can still find the location Xu Fu mentioned on the sea by relying on the water carried by the big boat.Without a big boat, a mere hundred miles would be an insurmountable chasm.

"However, the First Emperor is here and cannot be saved except by magic medicine."

Wei Weijie was obviously not willing to give up easily. He tried his best to speak: "It would be better to ask Xu Fu. Since Xu Fu can return from the sea, maybe there is a way to go again."

Li Si raised his eyes and glanced at Wei Wei Jie lightly: "Does Wei Wei want to exercise the power of the First Emperor?"

Wei Weijie's expression suddenly changed. Li Si's words were heartbreaking. He was the commander of the Weiwei Army. The Weiwei Army was only the emperor's personal guard. The royal inheritance had nothing to do with him.

How could it be said that he was ready to exercise the powers of the First Emperor?

He said angrily: "Why did Tingwei say this?"

"If the Emperor's affairs were not carried out, why would the Weiwei insist on this matter?"

Li Si asked unceremoniously: "Earlier, we advised the First Emperor, what if the gods did not come, what if Xu Fu lied, what if Da Qin broke his promise, didn't the Weiwei hear it?"

"The matter of gods and gods is related to who will be the second emperor of Qin!"

He continued coldly: "Only the First Emperor can decide this matter!"

"However, the First Emperor is not awake, and the First Emperor previously wanted to pass on the throne to his eldest son, Fusu!" Wei Wei Jie argued with reason.

"I heard that the First Emperor wanted to pass on the throne to his young son Hu Hai." Li Si spoke decisively.

"I only heard that the First Emperor passed on the throne to his young son Hu Hai and ordered the imperial guards to prepare the edict." Zhao Gao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke and glanced at the imperial guards.

Previously, the First Emperor was indeed planning to pass the throne to Hu Hai, but due to the immortal incident and Xu Fu's sudden return, the First Emperor changed his mind.

However, this is not important.

When the First Emperor changed his mind, he had already vomited blood and collapsed. His voice was so low that only Wei Jie, Li Si, and Zhao Gao who were nearby could hear him.

Of course, there are also a few chamberlains.

However, several chamberlains had been cut off by Zhao Gao's order before. Now the only ones who have the right to speak are Wei Wei Jie and Wei Jie!

Moreover, although the First Emperor intended to pass the throne to Fusu, he never finished his words.

Although he tried to write Fusu's name on Wei Jie's armor, he only wrote one radical.

Of course, this radical can be said to be the left half of Fusu's character Fu, but it can also be said to be the left half of Hu's character Hu Hai.

The two are written in Xiaozhuan and are indeed very similar.

Wei Weijie was furious at this time. He looked at Li Si and Zhao Gao with murderous intent, and he was about to draw his sword and kill them directly.

However, Li Si and Zhao Gao were not afraid. They looked down at Wei Jie, and Li Si was the first to roar.

"Jie, do you want to correct the imperial edict?"
