Da Qin: Self-destruction and time travel, I will extend my life for Qin for a thousand years

Chapter 27 Insufficient Song

Sure enough!

In front of the Liucunbao mansion, Cui Yuan looked at Zulong with a longing expression in front of him, as expected.

He had expected this day since last night when he was forced to publicly accept the strengthening of the national game.

After all, he couldn't silence the Ninth Princess, nor could he kill the people around him.

Although it was dark last night, the moonlight was still there.

If no common people saw his killing process, then Cui Yuan would not believe it even if he died.

The only unexpected thing may be that the identities of the two assassins are actually Zhao Gao's son-in-law and brother.

If it were two ordinary dead soldiers, Brother Zheng probably wouldn't have arrived so quickly.

But fortunately, I was well prepared last night.

Although it is hasty, it is enough!

"No, I don't have any method of immortality, and there is no method of immortality in this world."

"Birth, old age, illness and death are the unavoidable fate of all people. A life with death is a complete life."

Cui Yuan chose to confess, there was nothing to hide.

"As for those golden lights, although they can restore injuries, their effect can only go so far."

"And the conditions for its appearance are very harsh. For example, now, I can't use it at all."

"Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, just take a look."

As he said that, Cui Yuan stretched out the back of his hand, where there was a bloodstain from when he had just put on his clothes.

Although it is very shallow, there is no sign of healing and there are still bloodshot eyes.

Ying Zheng frowned and looked at the young man's clear eyes.

From his eyes, he only saw a clear conscience.

Although he didn't have the same ability to judge the truth as Dun Ruo, his intuition told him that Cui Yuan was not lying.

Is what he said true?

But Ying Zheng was still a little unwilling to give up so easily.

Ever since Zhao Gao knew that Da Qin's problem was the loss of control over the grassroots.

He had been thinking about solving all this while he was still alive.

Cui Yuan gave solutions, but their implementation requires a lot of time.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just build academies all over the world. How could Da Qin produce so many bamboo slips and books?
Although Cui Yuan requested a large number of Mohist craftsmen from himself and seemed to be prepared, it was impossible to conjure bamboo slips out of thin air!
With only a few years left to live, can I really live to see the results?
"In later generations, there was a dynasty called Ming Dynasty, about 600 years ago. There was a prince named Zhu Zaiyu."

Cui Yuan put his hands behind his back and saw Ying Zheng's reluctance, so he decided to give an example to continue persuading.

This was one of his life rules in the past. He always used it to remind himself not to be too ambitious and to be content with what he has.

"He was the son of a prince when he was born, but became the son of a guilty minister when he grew up. Finally, in his later years, he was pardoned and turned into a commoner. He tasted all the warmth and cold in the world, and composed a poem with infinite emotion called the Song of Insufficiency."

Ying Zheng was moved.

When he was young, he lived with his mother Zhao Ji in the Kingdom of Zhao and suffered a lot. It was by chance that he returned to the Kingdom of Qin and became emperor with the help of Lu Buwei.

Li Si also flashed his eyes and felt something.

Before he came to Qin to become prime minister, he had been a small official in charge of granaries in Chu.

Both of them have come from the bottom step by step to their current position. They are completely opposite to Zhu Zaiyu's experience, but they have an inexplicable resonance.

"So, what are the songs about?"

Ying Yinman asked, her cheeks turned red as she looked at the boy who was talking seriously.

"Running around all day long is just for hunger, and I just think about clothes when I'm full."

"I have enough food and clothing, and I miss Jiao'e's beautiful wife."

Cui Yuan smiled and slowly recited the first two sentences.

When Ying Zheng and Li Si heard this, their eyes showed surprise.

In just a few dozen words, the insatiable greed of human nature is clearly revealed!
"..."

"The seventh-grade magistrate is still too young, and he wants to hang a purple coat in the middle of the court."

"Yipin is the prime minister of the dynasty, but he also wants to seize the throne of the emperor." "I am satisfied to be the emperor, but I also want to live forever."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng blushed and Li Si kept coughing.

They seem to be aloof, but upon closer inspection, they are actually no different from ordinary people.

"..."

"If you are not enough and you are not satisfied, what will happen to your life? If you want the people of the world to be satisfied, you can only do it in a dream."

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li, the ordinary people are showing their disgrace."

After saying that, Cui Yuan apologized slightly and took the initiative to salute.

You bastard, you have so many evil intentions!

Ying Zheng rolled his eyes, feeling helpless.

Cui Yuan's show of weakness is undoubtedly saying that he is just a commoner.

It would be shameless for you, a majestic emperor, to argue with me.

How could I be that kind of person?
Although... I was a little angry, it just felt like I was scolded.

Unexpectedly, I was taught a lesson even though I just came to ask questions.

"But Your Majesty, although there is no way to live forever in this world, there is a way to extend life."

Cui Yuan stood up and continued: "As long as your majesty can rest on time, sleep four hours a day, exercise frequently, and not take elixirs, you can live a long life."

"Don't take the elixir?"

Ying Zheng was puzzled.

He could understand the previous suggestions. Xia Wuji, the imperial physician in the palace, had used this to persuade him many times.

However, he didn't understand the one at the back who didn't want to take the elixir.

"Why? Isn't it the hard work of your alchemists?"

"Could it be that it actually has no effect on extending life?"

Logically speaking, although Cui Yuan came from after 2000, he was also an alchemist.

Previously in the court, he even used clever methods to persuade himself to give up the matter of trapping Confucian scholars, which shows that he still has some recognition of alchemy in his heart.

Why has your attitude completely changed now?
Instinctively, he sensed something was wrong.

"Cough cough!"

Cui Yuanqing coughed a few times and said softly: "As Cao Min said before, there is no way to live forever in the world, so naturally there is no elixir that can lead to immortality after taking it."

"Is that so?"

Ying Zheng touched his chin, thoughtfully.

"There is no elixir of immortality in this world..."

There was an impulse in his heart to ask for details.

He believed that as long as he asked, he would get the answer, and Cui Yuan would not hide it.

However, is this really what he wants?
"In that case, I will go back and try what you said. I will stop taking the elixir from today and get more rest."

"This song of insufficiency is very good. When I go back, I will have someone copy it down to remind myself of it all the time."

"Li Si, today you will discuss legal matters with Cui Yuan at the Six Village Fort."

Ying Zheng made a decision and gave up questioning.

Instead, choose to let nature take its course and find out for yourself.

Anyway, Cui Yuan has always been in Liucun Fort, and it is impossible for him to disappear out of thin air.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Cui Yuan and Li Si said goodbye, Ying Zheng nodded, and left with Ying Yinman who was thinking about it.

"Little friend Cui..."

After seeing off His Majesty, Li Si looked around and showed great respect for the young man.

"Can I take a step to speak?"
