Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

Chapter 146 Qin Shihuang’s order for immortality!
Xiao Ran thought too long about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's campaign.

The founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang, had plenty of time to take care of Liu Che, and there was no need for him to interfere.

The spirit stone suddenly flashed. Xiao Ran opened it and saw an order.

The moment he saw the customer clearly, Xiao Ran's eyes were a little excited, and he immediately chose to take the order.

[Customer: Ying Zheng]

[Time: 221 BC]

[Customer demand: Now that the world is unified, I am getting older and my great cause is not stable. How can I let it go? I ask the gods to grant me immortality and wait for my great Qin to prosper! 】

[Remuneration: one thousand taels of gold]

【Orders! 】

This is the First Emperor Ying Zheng!

After reading the contents of the list, Xiao Ran had a real emotion, "The first emperor unified the six countries. The most regrettable thing is that he failed to stabilize the country, otherwise the Qin Dynasty would have perished in the second generation."

"At this time, the Qin Dynasty should have just destroyed the six kingdoms and unified them. I remember that he started to search for the art of immortality very early, but it was only later that he became eager."

After Qin Shihuang Yingzheng came to power in the Qin State, he secretly ordered people to find the art of immortality.

"There is no longevity technique in the world, but modern medicine can extend the life of the First Emperor."

After Xiao Ran muttered to himself, he turned around and headed to Da Qin.

……

221 BC

The twenty-sixth year of the reign of Emperor Qin

Epang Palace

The palace residents stood quietly in the palace, their heads lowered and their breathing reduced to the weakest level.

The First Emperor Ying Zheng in black dragon robe was sitting at his desk reviewing memorials. The writing on the bamboo slip in his hand was scrawled, and the meaning could barely be made out.

Suddenly, a figure walked slowly outside the palace. His pace was faster than that of an ordinary person, and he was wearing armor that made people feel cold.

This person is Meng Yi, the person most trusted by the First Emperor Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you summoned the palace alchemist today." Meng Yi bowed and spoke boldly.

He didn't quite believe what the alchemist said, as to where the magic of immortality came from.

The First Emperor Ying Zheng looked calm and never put down the bamboo slips, "I know this well."

As a person close to the First Emperor, Meng Yi couldn't help but want to persuade: "Your Majesty, most alchemists are people who talk nonsense and should not be credulous. If your Majesty is unwell, you should let the imperial doctor come for diagnosis and treatment."

If it were him who said this, other ministers would have knelt down in fear and would not dare to mention it at all.

Ying Zheng raised his eyes and looked at him, "Is this why you came here today?"

"There is indeed something else to do. I just happened to meet the alchemist who was going back on the way." Meng Yi remembered that he had other things to say.

"Your Majesty, the laws and regulations you promulgated have been opposed by many noble families. The officials you sent have failed many times. Now they are sending letters back and want to complain."

Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slips in his hand and said in a deep voice: "If anyone is unwilling, kill them directly. You can send another army over and make sure to complete it in a short time."

"No." Meng Yi agreed immediately.

When Meng Yi walked out of the palace, Ying Zheng picked up his knife and pen to carve on the bamboo slips.

A figure quietly appeared in the hall.

Ying Zheng reached out and grabbed the sword beside him, pulled it out, and looked at the person who appeared with sharp eyes.

Dressed very strangely, he shouted sharply: "Who are you!"

The sound alerted the guards guarding outside, and they quickly rushed into the hall and surrounded Xiao Ran vigilantly.

Xiao Ran was used to this scene and explained: "I am Xiao Ran from Super Dimension Company. You should know the company. I took your order."

Hearing this, First Emperor Ying Zheng waved his hand to signal the guards to exit the hall and put the sword back.

The palace people in the palace also left voluntarily.

Ying Zheng raised his finger and pointed at the nearest position to Xiao Ran, "Sit down."

Xiao Ran sat down calmly and faced Ying Zheng face to face.

The portrait of the First Emperor in front of him was very different from the portrait recorded in history. The thirty-eight-year-old Ying Zheng was in his prime, with a strong body and the majesty of an emperor revealed in his brows and eyes.

"Are you an immortal?"

Ying Zheng looked at Xiao Ran at the same time and was the first to speak out to break the silence.

Xiao Ran shook his head, "No, there are no gods in the world."

"Do you have the art of immortality?" Ying Zheng continued to ask.

Xiao Ran shook his head again, "No, there is no way to live forever in the world."

Ying Zheng's face darkened, "Then how do you fulfill my wish?"

"Human lifespan is related to genetics, psychology, environment, living habits, and medical conditions. I can't make you live forever, but I can also extend your life by ten or twenty years."

Xiao Ran paused for a moment and asked with a smile, "Do you know what the average life span of the Qin Dynasty is?"

"The people are in hardship and have been fighting for many years, so they should be around 20 years old." After thinking for a moment, Ying Zheng said his calculation.

War, epidemics, and hard life all caused the people of the Qin Dynasty to live shorter lives.

Xiao Ran said: "Thousands of years from now, the average life span of the people in the world will be seventy years old."

These words made Ying Zheng's expression change slightly. There were very few people over the age of seventy in the Qin Dynasty.

He is now in his thirties. If he can live to be seventy, Da Qin must have stabilized.

"So, my method is more reliable than the alchemist you know."

"If you agree, I can take you to future generations for a physical examination right now and find the best doctor to take care of your health."

What Xiao Ran said made Ying Zheng very moved.

But Ying Zheng did not agree immediately, but asked calmly, "Are you free to interact with future generations in Da Qin?"

"It's not random. This matter involves the secrets of our company, so it's not convenient to say more." Xiao Ran replied with a smile. Of course, he would not reveal too much before Qin Shihuang became an employee of the company.

Ying Zheng nodded, "I am willing to try your method. Should I go now, or do I need to make some preparations?"

He did not have 100% trust in Xiao Ran, so he continued to speak, "Can you bring one more person with you?"

Xiao Ran understood, "It's Meng Yi, right? Of course."

The most trusted person around Qin Shihuang was none other than Meng Yi.

With a flash of surprise in his eyes, Ying Zheng did not rush to ask questions, but first asked the palace people to chase Meng Yi who had left. "Mr. Xiao, you seem to know the people around me very well."

Xiao Ran took it for granted, "Because I come from a thousand years later, and I know everything that happened in history."

"Has the Qin Dynasty been unified for a hundred years?" Ying Zheng immediately asked what he wanted to know most.

Faced with such a sincere question from Qin Shihuang, Xiao Ran shook his head and said with some regret, "Qin II died."

Ying Zheng frowned, "Although Fusu respects Confucianism and is capable of governing the world, why did Great Qin fall?"

"The one who inherits the throne is not the young master Fusu, but your youngest son Hu Hai." Xiao Ran said.

"How could I pass the throne to Hu Hai?!" He was puzzled. Ying Zheng trained his son Fusu just to let him inherit the Qin Dynasty. As for Hu Hai, he never took it seriously.

Moreover, Hu Hai's mother was a Hu, and Ying Zheng would never hand over the world to Hu Hai.

Xiao Ran was helpless, "It's a long story. Meng Yi is already here. Let's go check up on him first. We'll talk about it later when we have time."

Meng Yi wore armor and hung a long sword on his waist. He stood cautiously behind Ying Zheng, his eyes constantly scanning Xiao Ran.

"Then let's go." Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Ying Zheng urged.

Taking Meng Yi with him, even if Xiao Ran's intentions are evil, Ying Zheng is confident that he and Meng Yi can deal with Xiao Ran.

The three figures disappeared in the palace.

……

Jimo ancient city
The physical examination in the hospital was carried out quickly. Ying Zheng and Meng Yi were still in good health. If they wanted to extend their lifespan, they needed to take measures from all aspects.

After listening to the doctor's instructions, Xiao Ran returned home and told Ying Zheng the method he had in mind.

"I will arrange for a herbalist and nutritionist to take care of your body. I will send it to you every day, or you can come over and eat it."

"But these are auxiliary conditions. The most important thing is that you must not touch the elixir in the future."

The biggest problem why the First Emperor Ying Zheng died so early was that he took too many pills.

Those are heavy metals plus toxic cinnabar, and whoever eats them will have a short life.

Ying Zheng was full of doubts and finally couldn't help but say, "Can I really live longer in this way?"

"Yes, it's easy to live a long life." Xiao Ran said.

"And you will be short-lived because of the elixir. As long as you don't take it, you will live to be at least sixty years old."

Ying Zheng frowned again. There was always an illusory feeling. Longevity was too easy in Xiao Ran's mouth.

"Is this the end of my list?"

"That's not true. Your list states that immortality does not exist. It is reasonable to replace it with longevity. You want to stabilize the country. Once this is achieved, the list is over." Xiao Ran explained patiently.

In order to stabilize the Qin Dynasty, it is not enough for Qin Shihuang not to die suddenly, but also to have a suitable successor.

Young Master Fusu is not suitable.

If Da Qin really allowed him to inherit, he might still die as a second generation.

Ying Zheng understood what Xiao Ran meant and said in a deep voice: "You said that the Second Emperor of Qin died. Can you elaborate on that?"

"Sit down and talk. I won't be able to finish it in a while."

Xiao Ran prepared tea and asked Ying Zheng and Meng Yi to sit down.

"The demise of Great Qin will begin with your sudden death."

"In the thirty-seventh year of the Qin Dynasty, you died at the Sand Dune Palace where you rested during your fifth eastward tour. You were fifty years old."

Meng Yi was shocked, "Did your Majesty encounter an assassin?"

"No, he died of illness. Judging from the physical condition of the First Emperor, he fought on the battlefield in his early years and did not indulge himself after becoming emperor. He was just too tired and should not have died of illness so easily."

Xiao Ran sighed, "If you want to blame it, blame it. The First Emperor took a lot of pills in a row, and some pills even passed through the hands of thoughtful people."

"Why do pills cause death?" Ying Zheng asked.

Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows, "The main material used by alchemists to refine elixirs is cinnabar. Cinnabar is toxic. Taking the elixir is equivalent to chronic suicide."

"Your Majesty, when you go back, you should kill those alchemists! They are plotting to kill your majesty!" After hearing this, Meng Yi was shocked and wanted to go back and kill all the alchemists immediately.

Ying Zheng raised his hand to stop him and continued, looking at Xiao Ran, "You said that I took a lot of pills, which shows that I trust the alchemists. And I left them behind for the art of immortality, which I have not been able to find for more than ten years. , how could I tolerate them staying around?”

Some people admire Ying Zheng, and he can find the problem in just two sentences.

Xiao Ran admired in his heart, "You really trust the alchemists. There have been many alchemists in the palace in the past ten years. One of them is the most trusted by you. His name is Xu Fu. He was later responsible for finding the art of immortality."

"You are obsessed with the art of immortality, and you believe in fate. I also heard that there are Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou islands in the sea, where gods live. There is a medicine of immortality on the island, and you can live forever after taking it. This incident attracted Xu Fu Others, they claim to be willing to go to sea to find the fairy island for you. "

"You prepared ships and a lot of money for them to go to sea, but of course you couldn't find things that didn't exist. After spending a long time and money, Xu Fu and others were afraid of being punished by you, so they deceived you."

"It is claimed that there are three sacred mountains in the sea, but they are often troubled by big sharks, so they cannot reach them. It happened that you dreamed of fighting with the sea god, and the shape of the sea god was similar to the human form. Someone else suggested the interpretation of the dream at this time, so you ordered the people who entered the sea to carry fishing tools for catching big fish. Tools, I personally took the crossbow and shot a big fish."

"Subsequently, you sent Xu Fu and others to lead three thousand boys and girls on a boat into the sea to seek immortality. However, Xu Fu never returned since then."

Meng Yi was in disbelief, "How brave is Xu Fu? Will he die at sea?"

Xiao Ran showed strong disgust and hatred, "He did not die at sea. Xu Fu took three thousand boys and girls to an island and settled there. The island was later called Japanese Island. In the following hundreds of years, Japanese people continued to He stopped harassing the people of our country and ended up doing countless cruel and inhumane things!”

"It's so ridiculous! Xu Fu deserves death!" Meng Yi said angrily.

Ying Zheng also had murderous intent in his heart, "What happened after I died?"

Taking note of Xu Fu's name, Ying Zheng had the means to torture him to death.

Xiao Ran calmed down and continued: "After your death, Zhao Gao persuaded Hu Hai to threaten Li Si to join forces. The two conspired in the Sand Dune Palace and issued an edict in your name, announcing to the world that Hu Hai would succeed the throne. You wrote a letter accusing Fusu of not being filial as your son and Meng Tian of being disloyal as a minister, and forcing them to commit suicide."

Meng Yi's eyes widened, "Young Master really committed suicide?"

"Yes, Meng Tian didn't, he was killed." Xiao Ran gave an affirmative answer.

Meng Yi couldn't believe it, "How could the young master believe such a ridiculous order so easily?"

"Because before that, the First Emperor and Young Master Fusu had a quarrel, and Fusu was forced out of Xianyang." This was also the reason why Young Master Fusu would trust the content of the letter, and Xiao Ran couldn't help but sigh.

With the temperament of Prince Fusu who was deeply brainwashed by Confucianism, he would really commit suicide because he was accused of being unfilial.

Ying Zheng's face was gloomy. He knew that Young Master Fusu pursued Confucian classics, but he never expected that he would be so pedantic and stupid.

A letter can kill someone instantly.

He doesn't have the sense to inherit the lord of the world.

Xiao Ran said: "After receiving the news of Fusu's suicide, Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, and Li Si ordered the convoy to travel day and night and quickly return to Xianyang. In order to continue to deceive the world, the convoy did not dare to take a shortcut back to Xianyang, but instead continued to patrol. We will take a detour back to Xianyang."

"And because of the high temperature, corpses tend to rot. In order to cover up, Hu Hai and others also bought abalone and other things to cover up the smell. It was not until they arrived in Xianyang and settled everything that they announced that the First Emperor had died of illness."

Ying Zheng looked extremely ugly at the moment. It was a shame and a great humiliation for his body to be treated like this after death!
