Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 387 Seeking Immortals to no avail

Wang Ben ordered Wang Li:

"No one is allowed to return to Xianyang City without his order."

Wang Li's face was as stubborn as a donkey's. He didn't say anything, so naturally he had to agree even if he didn't agree.

Wang Li knew very well that the man in front of him was his father. He, Wang Li, was at risk of being beaten to death, so he had no choice but to learn to be good and stay in Pinyang County to keep vigil for his grandfather.

Dust rolled up on the road, and seven tall and strong middle-aged men drove three carriages to Xianyang quickly.

Wang Ben was sitting in the carriage. He originally wanted to ignore the matter between the emperor and the prince, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Along the way, Wang Ben has been worried.

Where did Wang Li hear those words?If these words reached the emperor's ears, the clan would be wiped out.

A general like the Wang family naturally has many advisers.Among them was a counselor who Wang Jian pointed out to Wang Ben before he died.

His surname is Zhou Mingyan.

Zhou Yan looked at the south sky and suddenly said worriedly:
"Your Majesty returns to the capital at this time, I am afraid that the city is already full of wind and rain."

"What do you mean? I have heard too many ominous words today."

"When I return to Xianyang at this time, it is the end of the Autumn Hunting Ceremony. Please remember that this year is the last time for Your Majesty to seek immortality and medicine."

Wang Ben was puzzled.

"Your Majesty was deceived by villains, and now they can't come up with the elixir. Isn't it a good thing to get rid of the rumors?"

Zhou Yan said:

"The old general has just left. It is a blow to His Majesty. Once His Majesty asks for the elixir to no avail, I am afraid he will be even more angry. I think there will be a bloody disaster in Xianyang."

Wang Ben was naturally unhappy after hearing this.

"Since His Majesty asked for the elixir, everyone in the court has been depressed. Now is the time for those rumors to be disproven. Even if there is going to be a bloody disaster, it is not wrong. The empire needs this bloody disaster now. Blood may be It is not a good sign, but it is the most effective way to solve the problem. If His Majesty can wake up from this, it will be a great joy for the empire."

After Zhou Yan heard this, she said nothing more.

……

……

……

Xianyang Palace.

Dazheng Hall.

After the reconstruction, the emperor set up seats for his ministers.

The atmosphere at today's court meeting was particularly strange.

Ying Zheng's face turned extremely pale, and experienced people would know at a glance that he was poisoned.

After all, Ying Zheng has been taking golden elixirs.

This golden elixir is a real golden elixir.An elixir made from metal.

Even in extremely poor physical condition, Ying Zheng still insisted on coming to court.

"I have recently been taught by people who have attained Taoism. From now on, I will call myself a real person and no longer call myself me."

There were some conscientious people who naturally felt chilled after hearing this.

His Majesty will believe whatever the warlock says.

What is this if not a foolish king?
But those villains who are following the trend, took advantage of this opportunity and shouted together:
"Your Majesty, live forever!"

Over the past year, Ying Zheng has gotten tired of hearing this kind of talk.

His face was blank, but at this moment, Ying Zheng suddenly became annoyed again.

This bunch of useless people know nothing but follow the trend and shout.

Ying Zheng didn't care about anything else, he just thought about seeking immortality and medicine.The one-year appointment is coming, and Ying Zheng is eager to hear the good news.

"Where is Xu Fu?"

As expected, Ying Zheng asked this question, and everyone in the hall looked at each other in shock when they heard this.

The doctor specifically responsible for this matter stepped forward:
"Your Majesty, Xu Shi and his party have not returned from the sea."

Ying Zheng turned even paler after hearing this.

Ying Zheng vaguely noticed something, but he didn't want to admit it.

Others were not anxious, but Meng Yi had already become anxious.

"Your Majesty, although the one-year period has not yet come, Xu Shi should know very well what it means to disobey His Majesty's edict. Your Majesty should add an additional edict and order him to return quickly."

Meng Yi is not a foolish and loyal person.

He knew how to get Ying Zheng to make the right choice without offending the emperor.

Meng Yi added:

"If Xu Fu obtained the elixir, and if he had selfish motives and swallowed it for himself, wouldn't your majesty's efforts be in vain?"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng naturally felt that what Meng Yi said made sense.

Immediately afterwards, Meng Yi asked again:
"Your Majesty, a few years ago, you ordered Tu Wei to go to the east of the sea in order to find out what is east of the East Sea."

"Calculating the time, Tu Wei's eastward tour took even more time and money and material resources. I don't know where Tu Wei went. Did he sink to the bottom of the sea and be buried in the belly of a fish, or did he find land and refuse to come back. "

Meng Yi came prepared today.

For Meng Yi, the death of General Meng can really be a wake-up call for His Majesty.

The reason why His Majesty seeks immortality is to fulfill his dream of consolidating the world.But now it seems that the pursuit of immortality has actually alienated the government and the public, and also allowed some villains to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.

If the information Yu Yang revealed to him is correct, then it can be basically concluded that Zhao Gao was acting in a secretive manner in the palace.

But Zhao Gao was too cautious in doing things, and Meng Yi just never found any evidence.

Meng Yi has been thinking of ways to dig out all the villains around His Majesty and let these silverfish bask in the broad daylight.

But before doing so, Meng Yi must first find evidence, otherwise he will not be able to convict others and expose himself.

Ying Zheng quickly understood Meng Yi's thoughts.

Meng Yi always wanted him to give up the pursuit of immortality.

Ying Zheng has always known this, but this only proves that the Meng brothers are loyal to me.

"Real people make their own decisions."

After Ying Zheng finished saying this, he began to listen to reports from other ministers, which were basically reports on the progress of the project.

There are no major events in North Korea.

Or maybe there is, but no one dares to report it.

Who knows?

When Ying Zheng began to claim to be a real person, all the admonishing officials in the court all turned pale.

The son is silent and his strange power confuses the gods.
A gentleman should keep the right path at heart.If you worship ghosts and gods instead of relying on righteous thoughts, you will be controlled by ghosts and gods.

Your Majesty the Emperor is so obsessed with this.

Next, Ying Zheng spoke of a 'real person' again.

The ministers knew without even thinking that Ying Zheng was bewitched by Lu Sheng again.

Meng Yi's scalp felt numb after hearing this.

When Ying Zheng was determined to do something right, both the government and the public were united.

But when Ying Zheng is stubborn and insists on proving a wrong thing, this will chill many people.

Meng Yi was also hurt by the word "Zhenren" today.

Ying Zheng had no idea that his obsession with seeking immortality and the way to immortality forced many ministers to set their sights on the new sun.

……

……

……

A few days later, Wang Ben returned to Xianyang.

The city of Xianyang was indeed abuzz with people and discussions.

Both groups of people who went to sea came back.

At the same time, news about Xu Shi and others finally came.

However, it was not Xu Shi himself who brought back the news about Xu Shi and others, but Tu Wei.

When Yu Yang received the document, his eyebrows flew up with joy, and Yu Yang raised his head and laughed.

Yu Yang happily ran to Ying Zheng to report the matter, making a creaking sound on the floor.

But every sound he made was cheerful.

"Great joy! Your Majesty, General Tu Wei has returned from his eastward cruise. They also brought local people back to pay homage to Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng heard this, but his heart did not drop. He was happy and surprised at the same time.

This guy Tu Wei actually came back alive.

If he comes back alive and brings good news, it means that what Fusu said at the beginning is true, and there is land to the east of the East China Sea.

So, Xu Fu has been deceiving me all this time! ?
　If you were the First Emperor, what would you most want to do before you die?
