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

Chapter 83 The death of Xu Fu, the first emperor heard about Jiajing
"What happens next may be a little serious."

Cui Yuan looked cautious, which made Wang Li even more confused.

These elixirs are obviously treasures for extending life. No matter how much Xu Fu eats, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Just as he was thinking this, the next moment, he saw a scene that made him extremely horrified!

"puff!"

"Ouch!"

Xu Fu, who was controlled by the guards, fell to his knees on the ground. A large amount of blood continued to pour out of his mouth and nose along with the remaining elixir, and he couldn't stop it!
"My God!"

"what's going on!?"

Wang Li was stunned, and was so frightened by this miserable scene that he trembled all over!

Xu Fu was fine not long ago, why did he suddenly become like this now?

"Because taking a large amount of mercury orally in a short period of time can cause severe poisoning."

Cui Yuan explained solemnly, looking at Xu Fu who fell to the ground in pain, his mind began to recall the popular science medical videos he watched in his previous life.

"Patients often suffer from mucosal erosion symptoms such as glossitis, oral ulcers, and gum swelling. It can also cause gastroenteritis, gastric bleeding, mucus, pus, and bloody stools, and even lead to problems such as gastrointestinal perforation and kidney failure."

"Such a large amount of vomiting blood must be gastric bleeding."

His voice was very calm, but in the ears of Wang Li and Xu Fu who collapsed, it seemed like the coldest cold wind, thousands of times more violent than the cold wind outside now!
It felt like hearing the day of my own death!

"Mercury...what is that!?"

Ying Zheng turned around and looked at the young man with bloodshot and angry eyes.

"cinnabar."

Cui Yuan stepped forward and picked up an elixir, slowly opened it, revealing the silver-white powder inside: "It is also called Maiden, Divine Glue and Yuan Shui."

"Because it has better antiseptic effect, it has been considered by the Chinese people since ancient times as a divine object that can preserve the body and preserve the soul forever."

"During the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, when sacrificial civilization gradually emerged, it became a necessary ritual in tombs, especially Qi Di."

"For example, Duke Huan of Qi was buried in Linzi County, Shandong Province today, and his tomb was filled with mercury as a pond."

"Master Xu Xian is an alchemist from Qidi. It is very normal to add it when refining elixirs."

"However, in later generations, it has been proven to be an extremely toxic substance that is extremely harmful to the human body. As long as you take more than one drop of pure mercury the size of a soybean, you can die directly."

"No! There is no such thing at all...ah!" Xu Fu, who was on the verge of collapse, wanted to refute.

If this was confirmed, not only would he die, but his family and disciples would all be destroyed too!
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Ying Zheng, who couldn't bear it anymore, swung the Emperor's Sword in anger!
Swish!
With the harsh sound of breaking through the air, Xu Fu's right arm was directly separated from his body, and countless blood spilled on the ground!
"Ahhh!"

Xu Fu screamed violently, and he no longer looked like an immortal master.

He wanted to faint, but as soon as he closed his eyes, the guard beside him poured cold water on him and woke him up.

If there is a hell in the world, it is definitely now!
"That's it, as long as he dares to close his eyes, you guys will pour cold water on his wounds!"

Ying Zheng's anger has just been vented a little, how could he let Xu Fu die so easily?
After being deceived for so many years and taking poison pills every day, I still respected Xu Fu very much despite not knowing the truth!

After escaping so many assassinations, he never expected that the real fatal crisis would be hidden next to him!
How can this kind of hatred be eliminated with a single sword?

"No wonder Cui Yuan said that I only have less than two years left to live and will die in the 37th year of the First Emperor's reign. I didn't expect that this would be all because of you!"

"Xu Fu, I have always been kind to you, why do you want to harm me like this!"

Ying Zheng's anger was almost overwhelming!
Two years of life?

The First Emperor died in 37 years?

Hearing these words, Wang Li and even the surrounding attendants were all frightened!

None of them expected that His Majesty's original life span would be so short!

Especially Wang Li, after recalling Cui Yuan's reminder just now, he instantly understood the young man's intention of calling him.

He was asked to remind his grandfather not to try elixirs to extend his life!

'How dangerous! '

'The elixir is actually so poisonous! '

After figuring out the key, countless cold sweats broke out on Wang Li's back.

Because his grandfather did think about trying the elixir when he was sick before.

If it weren't for the precious elixir and the rapid deterioration of his condition, those alchemists would have been afraid of being accused of killing the Great Qin Army God.

I'm afraid Wang Jian has started to use the elixir now.

His Majesty was so strong that he died after taking the elixir for several years.

At his grandfather's age, he probably wouldn't have ascended to heaven after just eating a few pills.

"Not only that."

"Xu Fu not only wants to harm His Majesty, but also wants to defraud the Qin treasury."

Cui Yuan grabbed a mouse hiding nearby with his bare hands and stuffed half of the elixir into the mouse's mouth.

"In the 37th year of the First Emperor's reign, His Majesty visited Langya eastward and wanted to check the results of Xu Fu's search for immortals."

"Xu Fu, who only knew that he had gained nothing, in order to continue to defraud the Qin Dynasty of his wealth, excused himself by saying that he encountered a huge shark after going to sea and was unable to sail far, so he asked for more archers to deal with the shark."

"Your Majesty agreed and sent an archer to go to sea and kill a big fish, which once again cost people and money. Then he gave Xu Fu a large reward and asked him to lead his people to sea again to find immortals."

"Did he find it then?" Ying Zheng stared at the weak mouse, his anger almost turning into reality!
"No."

Cui Yuan shook his head. Facing Xu Fu's desperate gaze, he threw the mouse aside and ruthlessly struck at him: "He escaped, taking all the wealth your Majesty had given him, and fled directly to a Japanese country."

"He became the emperor there, spread his branches and leaves, enjoyed the blessings of the people, and was respected by all people!"

"Damn things!"

Ying Zheng was furious again and cut off Xu Fu's right arm!

He had obviously suffered so much from him, but his future was actually so bright!

Emperor?

Enjoy the blessings of all the people and be respected by all people! ?
There is no reason!
"Woooooo!"

Xu Fu sobbed, unable to even scream, just like a dying stray dog.

His throat had been burned by the mercury in the elixir, and he had lost both arms, causing a large amount of blood to spurt out.

Rather than saying that he was still alive, it was better to say that he only had his last breath left.

At this moment, the only emotion left in his mind was regret.

If he hadn't been blinded by greed and went out of his way to provoke Cui Yuan and wanted to trick His Majesty again, he would never be so miserable now.

Although he will die sooner or later, Cui Yuan cannot let him go, but at least he can survive for a while.

"Cui Yuan!"

"I hate you!"

Xu Fu let out his last scream and fainted on the spot. No matter how much the guards poured cold water on him, it was useless.

"Throw him outside the city and bury him alive. Remember to bury him deeply with thick soil!"

"His flesh and blood are poisonous now and cannot be eaten by humans or animals!"

Ying Zheng gave the cold order and kicked Xu Fu's body twice more to relieve his anger.

The guards tremblingly lifted Xu Fu down, and Wang Li became more and more frightened.Outside the courtyard, the flying snow all over the sky was even colder, with flakes penetrating into the bones.

This immortal master, who was so arrogant when he first came in, is now no different from a corpse when he goes out!

……

"call!"

Ying Zheng touched his chest and sat down again.

At this moment, he was covered in cold sweat, and his whole body seemed to be exhausted, and he kept breathing out.

After the extreme anger, fear began to surface.

If Cui Yuan hadn’t reminded him in time, we don’t know what would have happened!
But even so, he was still ashamed.

To be deceived to such an extent by an alchemist, I don't know how future generations will evaluate me.

"Cui Yuan, regarding this matter, how will future generations evaluate me?"

"Do you all think that I am hopeless?"

At this point, Ying Zheng's face couldn't help but turn red.

Even if he is an emperor for eternity, he cannot avoid being embarrassed at this moment.

"Haha~"

Cui Yuan chuckled twice before continuing: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, everyone in the future will not ridicule Your Majesty because of this matter."

"Because not only His Majesty, there are many emperors in history who were addicted to the elixir of immortality and eventually died young."

"The most obvious example is Tang Taizong Li Shimin, who was called Tian Khan by the grassland tribes. In his later years, he was addicted to elixirs and only lived to be 52 years old, which led to him making many foolish decisions."

"It's good that he is like this too." Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

What worries him most is that he is the only emperor in history to be so stupid.

Fortunately, there were many emperors and Li Shimin accompanying him.

The same was true for Wang Li. He was really worried that His Majesty would be so angry that he would hurt his body.

"And Li Shimin is not the most important person. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there was an Emperor Jiajing who was so obsessed with alchemy that he could live forever. He even did not go to court for more than 20 years."

"what!"

Cui Yuan said, and as soon as he finished speaking, Ying Zheng and Wang Li fell into extreme shock!

"For the sake of immortality, he did not go to court for more than 20 years. Is this Emperor Jiajing crazy?"

"Isn't he worried that his ministers will be disobedient?"

Ying Zheng couldn't understand it at all.

In his opinion, as long as you are a human being, you will definitely have selfish motives.

Especially when he has not gone to court to see the emperor for a long time, and he is a normal-minded person, he will inevitably have dissent, or even betrayal and seize power.

Although Ying Zheng does not know as much history as Cui Yuan, the division of the three families into Jin Dynasty happened more than 100 years ago.

The Jin State, which has always been known as the overlord of the Central Plains, inevitably declined in power at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. It was seized by the three families of Zhao, Wei and Han, and eventually split into three vassal states.

This was the result of Jin Gong being in court all the time. If Jin Gong simply disappeared for more than 20 years, he would not dare to think about the consequences.

"No!"

Cui Yuan shook his head: "He has not been ignored. On the contrary, he has been firmly in control of the government."

"Although he has disappeared for more than 20 years, all civil and military officials are in awe of him. As long as he speaks out, no one dares to disobey him."

"How is this possible!" Ying Zheng was stunned!
"How did he do it?" Wang Li asked.

Cui Yuan stretched out his hands and raised seven fingers: "Because of seven words - clouds are in the sky and water is in the bottle."

"Its surface meaning is that the shadow of the cloud is reflected in the water, and the water is unwilling. It angrily asked the cloud: "Why did you invade me? Yun said aggrievedly: "I am in heaven and you are in a bottle on the ground. Why did I violate you?" ""

"The deeper meaning is to let officials figure out their own position and not do things that the emperor does not allow you to do."

"Anyone who exceeds his authority will be held accountable by Jiajing."

Although Emperor Jiajing's reputation in history was not very good, he was indeed a master of political affairs.

"Amazing, just seven words completely explain the essence of imperial power."

Ying Zheng understood, took a breath and nodded slowly.

"No wonder he can control the government without going to court. He is indeed a wise emperor who knows the trade-offs."

"It's a pity that he indulged in the wrong direction."

"And these are just trivial matters after all. If he is really capable and can not be afraid of civil and military officials, he will not need to play these trade-offs at all."

Ying Zheng commented that as an emperor through the ages, he has always had a strict vision.

Maybe Emperor Jiajing was very good in the eyes of other emperors, but in the eyes of Ying Zheng, he was nothing more than that.

"Your Majesty, you are being a little picky."

Cui Yuan was helpless: "You are the first unified emperor in Chinese history. You have made immortal achievements. Your majesty is broader than the ocean and infinite than the sky. The remnants of the six countries and the civil and military officials all fear you from the bottom of their hearts. !”

"It can be said that your personal charm is the greatest foundation of Da Qin's existence!"

"However, future emperors will not have the opportunity to establish your majesty and make eternal contributions like you!"

"It would be better if they were established as princes right after they were born, succeeded in succeeding to the throne, and had a large number of cronies following them."

"But many emperors, such as Jiajing, became emperor simply because they were forced to catch up."

"His cousin, Emperor Zhengde of Ming Wuzong, accidentally fell into the water and died, leaving no son behind."

"We can only follow the ancestral motto of "brothers end with younger brothers" and let the 14-year-old prince prince who has moved away from Jiajing, the imperial capital, inherit the throne."

"It can be said that when he ascended the throne, there were no dogs in the entire palace who believed in him."

"In this kind of start, he can control the entire court with the skill of balancing, which is already amazing."

Although in later generations, many people hated Jiajing very much.

But looking at the matter, Cui Yuan asked himself, if he stood in the same position, he might not be able to do better than Jiajing.

Ying Zheng said thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense."

"It seems that this 'clouds are in the blue sky and water is in bottles', it is indeed necessary to record it in the imperial code of our Great Qin and pass it on to my descendants."

"Cui Yuan! You really surprise me all the time."

Cui Yuan was right, he could have the opportunity to establish majesty and even help Fusu establish it.

But Fusu's son, and even his descendants may not have such an opportunity.

"Ha ha!"

Cui Yuan chuckled, sat down again and set up the chessboard.

"There is no need to worry about this matter. What is more important now is to deal with Xu Fu's follow-up matters."

"He also has many disciples, disciples and grandsons, as well as a large number of alchemists who helped him go to sea to find immortals."

"May I ask, Your Majesty, what do you want to do with them?"
