As an emperor, whether it is diet or work and rest, there are strict eunuchs in charge, and there can be no mistakes. Although Ying Zheng has to review 100 catties of music every day, every time it is time to rest, the eunuch will still remind him. It stands to reason that Ying Zheng, who is in his forties this year, should be getting old, but the Ying Zheng that Meng Tian saw today is not.

When he set off from Linzi to Dongjun, Yingzheng at that time was definitely not as young as he was in front of him. Yes, I haven't seen him for a few months, Ying Zheng has actually become younger, the original gray beard is all black at the moment, and his complexion is much better than before, from a distance, I can't see what a person in his forties should look like.

Seeing Meng Tian looking at himself in a daze, Ying Zheng asked with a smile: "What, Meng Qing, I haven't seen you for a few months, and you don't know me?"

Meng Tian came back to his senses, and he clasped his fists at Yingzheng and said, "Please forgive Your Majesty, how can the minister not recognize Your Majesty." It's just that the minister didn't expect that after not seeing him in the past few months, His Majesty's complexion is getting better and better, so the minister felt a little surprised for a while. ”

"Haha, what Aiqing said is right. When I returned to Xianyang from Linzi, Zhao Gao brought me an overseas immortal elder, who would refine the elixir for me. Ying Zheng said, and then waved his hand to signal Meng Tian to sit down and speak.

It seems that this Xu Fu really has some ability, but Meng Tian still feels that something is wrong. Meng Tian continued to say to Ying Zheng: "It is naturally a good thing for Your Majesty's body to regain its youthfulness, but the minister thinks that if the king of a country trusts the ghosts and gods too much, he is afraid that it will be disadvantageous to the society, so the minister thinks it is ......."

"What, does the general think that Your Majesty shouldn't return to the way he was when he was young?" Zhao Gao asked after standing beside Ying Zheng and waiting for Meng Tian to finish speaking.

Meng Tian snorted coldly, stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhao Gao and said, "Presumptuous, how can this general talk to His Majesty as a eunuch like you!"

"Ah, this ......," Zhao Gao was speechless by Meng Tian's questioning. To tell the truth, Zhao Gao is not afraid of Ying Zheng, because he understands Ying Zheng, but he is only afraid of Meng Tian, not because he doesn't know Meng Tian, but because Meng Tian is a military general, with a high and powerful position, and he is now just a five-grade CRRC government order, and he can't compete with Meng Tian at all.

Ying Zheng frowned, Zhao Gao shouldn't have spoken, but Meng Tian dared to loudly scold his personal eunuch in front of him, and he didn't give himself face. "Okay, Zhao Gao, you shut up for me. I understand what Meng Qing means, although I have never worshiped ghosts and gods, but with Xu Fuxian's elixir here, I am willing to believe that there are immortals in this world, but I don't know where these immortals are. ”

Meng Tian saw that Ying Zheng's face seemed to be angry, and he also knew that he was a little reckless. "If you offend Your Majesty, please forgive Your Majesty. ”

Ying Zheng waved his hand, and then said, "It's okay, I know that Aiqing doesn't mean anything else." Aiqing sees me today, but what is important to tell me?"

Meng Tian took out a roll of bamboo slips from his cuffs, Zhao Gao stepped forward to take it, and then presented it to Ying Zheng. "Your Majesty, this is the minister's handling of Huang Dong, the county guard of Dongjun County, and Ma Xiancheng, the guard of Dongjun, because the matter is urgent, he did not report to His Majesty, and I have come to ask Your Majesty for guilt today. There is also about the purging of the rebels of the Dongjun generation, as well as the stone of Mars, which the ministers have written on the bamboo slips one by one, please read them. ”

Ying Zheng glanced at the content on the bamboo slip, and Ying Zheng was very relieved about Meng Tian's ability to do things. "Aiqing handled it well, and I am quite satisfied. It's just that you recommended Lü Buwei's righteous son and Liu Zhendong and Li Qing, who were born as robbers, to serve as the county guard and guard general of Dongjun respectively, can you trust these two people?"

"Back to Your Majesty, believe it or not, the minister can't say clearly, this is based on the situation in Dongjun. Although Liu Zhendong is said to be Lü Buwei's adopted son, but now Lü Buwei is already old, he is just a businessman, and his family has some money. ”

"As for that Li Qing, the minister can still get it accurately, although this person's ability is mediocre, but the minister can see that this person is also loyal, as for the background, the rebels of Qingfeng Village killed Li Qing's wife and child, the minister thinks that he will hate the rebels, and it is also appropriate for him to be the guard of Dongjun. These two people are from Dongjun, and the people of Dongjun will not reject them, so the minister arranged it this way. If His Majesty is not satisfied with what he has done, the minister will change it again. Meng Tian said to Ying Zheng.

"That's not necessary, just do it. Zhao Gao, go and take Meng Qing's recital to the prime minister, and he will draw it up, and then send it down. Ying Zheng instructed Zhao Gaodao.

Meng Tian bowed down and thanked Ying Zheng: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Ying Zheng nodded, and then said, "How much does Meng Qing know about the Martian Stone?"

His Majesty still asked about the matter, and Meng Tian had to say: "I don't know much about the Martian Stone, but I only know that the words that appear on it were artificially carved by the rebels in order to damage my Great Qin Foundation, and Your Majesty has already punished everyone who knows at this time, so the minister thinks that there is nothing else special about the Martian Stone." If you really talk about it, it is that the weapon forged from this stone is very sharp, and if Your Majesty can give this stone to your minister, the minister is willing to create an invincible army for Your Majesty. ”

Ying Zheng just snorted, and he was a little dissatisfied with Meng Tian's answer. The important thing is that these two sentences have become a thorn in Ying Zheng's heart, especially the sentence "Qin Destroyer Hu" made Ying Zheng not sleep well for several nights.

"What does Meng Qing think of the phrase 'Hu the Destroyer of Qin'?" Ying Zheng suddenly asked.

Meng Tian got up and left his seat, walked to the front of Ying Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this sentence is nonsense, and not to mention the meaning of the four words Hu of the Qin Destroyer, just say that today my Great Qin is prosperous, how can I be destroyed." Moreover, judging from these four words on the surface, the name of the person who destroyed my Qin State must have a Hu character in it, and there are only other meanings, and the minister has not thought of it for the time being. ”

Ying Zheng was silent, he just looked at Meng Tian who lowered his head after speaking. Meng Tian's words today are not unthinkable, even if he doesn't want to believe that this will happen, but Ying Zheng is still unwilling, he wants to eliminate all the unfavorable factors that threaten his huge empire.

"Okay, tomorrow I will issue an order to put to death all those in the country whose surname is Hu or whose name has Hu characters. Ying Zheng patted the table in front of him and said loudly.

Ying Zheng's words frightened Meng Tian, he didn't expect that because of his words, so many people would suffer and die innocent and tragically, if Ying Zheng's will really went on, I am afraid the consequences would be really unimaginable. He saw Zhao Gao standing beside Ying Zheng, and suddenly had a plan, he said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is no need to be like this. I have tens of millions of people in Daqin, and there are not a few people surnamed Hu, if Your Majesty makes this will, the minister thinks that it may provoke the criticism of the people. Among His Majesty's heirs, the name of the fourteenth prince Hu Hai also has the character Hu in his name, if His Majesty decrees, wouldn't it be to kill Hu Hai Gongzi together? ”

Zhao Gao listened quietly to Yingzheng and Meng Tian talking on the side, and suddenly heard Meng Tian talk about Huhai, which frightened Zhao Gao. If Ying Zheng really made such a holy decree, Hu Hai would inevitably be in a catastrophe, and his Zhao Gao's future reliance would be gone, and all the efforts he had made before would be in vain, how could this be.

Zhao Gao also knelt down and said to Ying Zheng: "Yes, Your Majesty, Gongzi Huhai is so filial to Your Majesty, how can Your Majesty be willing to kill Gongzi? ”

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he also felt that something was wrong, although these four words made him a little jealous, but he really wanted to kill so many of his own people, as well as his own son, Ying Zheng was still a little reluctant.

Since Meng Tian and Zhao Gao both pleaded, Ying Zheng took the opportunity to say: "Since both of you have persuaded me to take back this will, then I just have to take it back." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Meng Tian and Zhao Gao said at the same time.

After Meng Tian left, only Ying Zheng and Zhao Gao were left in the hall. Zhao Gao took out a beautifully decorated sandalwood box from his chest, held it in both hands and put it in front of Ying Zheng, and then said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is the elixir refined by the Immortal Chief for Your Majesty, please enjoy it." ”

Ying Zheng picked up the box and put it in front of his eyes, then opened it. There was only a brown pill the size of an eyeball in the box, lying quietly in the box, exuding an attractive fragrance, and Ying Zheng felt refreshed after smelling it.

"This Xu Fu Immortal elixir is really effective, I just took five pills, and I feel several years younger, it seems that this elixir is not just a false rumor. Ying Zheng took the pill out of the box, then put it in his mouth, then took the tea handed over by Zhao Gao, and took it.

Seeing Ying Zheng take the elixir, Zhao Gao smiled slightly, and then said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, this immortal chief is an overseas master, I believe that he will definitely find the elixir of immortality for Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty will stay young forever." ”

Ying Zheng let out a long breath, and every time he finished eating the newly refined pill, his body would feel a sense of comfort, which made him very useful. "By the way, have you ever asked the Immortal Chief, when will you be able to find the elixir of immortality for me?"

Zhao Gao bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, this elixir is not something that can be obtained by saying it, this is an immortal thing, although Your Majesty is the lord of the world, it takes a lot of effort to get this medicine." The Immortal Chief is already preparing for His Majesty's search for medicine. He said that in a few days he would present to His Majesty what he needed to find the elixir, and when everything was ready, he would go to sea to find medicine for His Majesty. ”
