At the same time as Liu Yuan escorted the team, the First Emperor still toured around Great Qin with heavy troops to suppress the national fortune. Since Fusu's departure, the First Emperor's illness has worsened, and he swallows the elixir every day in order to live with the sun and the moon. The First Emperor kept coughing, and it was difficult to hide the blood stains on his brocade handkerchief, which was a tiger that had run out of oil. "Zhao Gao, can the immortal master who went to sea return? Can I find the elixir of immortality? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the Immortal Master has not yet returned." Zhao Gao replied respectfully.

"Ahem, haven't returned yet?" When the First Emperor heard this, he muttered to himself, and he suddenly burst into anger, "What is the use of this immortal master? So far, I have not asked for the elixir. ”

"Your Majesty is angry, Gao has ordered someone to go to sea to find the immortal master." Zhao Gao's clean face was a little gloomy, and the serious illness of the First Emperor made him uneasy day and night.

The First Emperor bowed slightly, "This is very good, and you are the only one who knows me." ”

"Your Majesty, Shangqing Meng Yi asks to see you." At this time, the eunuch outside the car respectfully reported.

Hearing this, the First Emperor said in a low voice, "Come in." ”

But Zhao Gao had a gloomy face, he and the Meng family were in the same situation, especially the two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi had long wanted to kill him.

After Meng Yi came in, when he saw Zhao Gao, he was also disliked. Then he bowed to the First Emperor and said in a condensed voice, "Meng Yi to see Your Majesty." ”

"Didn't I let you go back to Huiji, and what did you do here?" The First Emperor coughed lightly a few times and said with a horizontal eyebrow.

Meng Yi looked at the First Emperor worriedly, and he immediately replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Yi had already arrived at Huiji, but he got a piece of porcelain by chance, so he came to present it to His Majesty to see." ”

"Porcelain?" The First Emperor's face was tormented by illness, and he asked, "What is porcelain?" ”

"Your Majesty, please see." Meng Yi took out a small carved bowl from his arms and continued: "This is porcelain, which is different from pottery, the texture of porcelain is smooth and beautiful. ”

The First Emperor took the carved bowl, his eyes were bright, and he showed a rare smile, "Very good, Meng Yi, this porcelain has a lot in my heart." Who did this? ”

"I heard that it was Liu Yuan, the head of the Surabaya Pavilion in Fengyi, Pei County, who improved the pottery kiln, and only then did he fire porcelain." Meng Yi immediately replied, "Yi has already inquired, this Liu Yuan has a high reputation in Pei County, and he is a virtuous person. ”

"Well, it's gratifying that my Great Qin has this virtue." The First Emperor nodded, and then he waved his hand and ordered: "Zhao Gao, order someone to bring this Liu Yuan to Xianyang, and my terracotta figurines can also be improved." "The so-called terracotta figurines are naturally the terracotta warriors and horses of later generations, and the reason why the first emperor was happy was that he valued it here.

"No!" Zhao Gao bowed down to receive the order, and before leaving, he glanced at Meng Yi with deep cold eyes, and saw the latter's ignorant expression, Zhao Gao was secretly annoyed in his heart.

The First Emperor was quite fond of the Montessori brothers, and he also knew that his eldest son Fusu had a close relationship with the Montessori, but he did not stop him, after all, this Great Qin would still be handed over to Fusu in the future, and with the assistance of the Montessori family, he was also relieved. "Meng Yi, I ordered the conscripts to go north to build the Great Wall, what do you think about this matter?"

Hearing this, Meng Yi was puzzled in his heart, he knew that the First Emperor was testing him, Meng Yi's face did not change, and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty's great cause Yi does not dare to speculate. However, there are often wars in the north, whether it is the former Yan State or the Zhao State, they have built the Great Wall to resist the northern troubles. Your Majesty's move is naturally once and for all. ”

"Hmm." The First Emperor nodded, and what Meng Yi said won his heart, so he said: "It's a good thing that Fusu cares about the suffering of the people, why don't you want to give me a peaceful and prosperous era for Daqin after many years of fighting?" However, the northern soldiers are like a fish in their throats, and I am not at ease. Fortunately, Meng Tian guarded the border, so that the Xiongnu did not dare to offend my Great Qin. When will Fusu understand my heart, if I build a long city, I will have 300,000 border troops in Daqin, and I can at least take out half of it to conquer the barbarians in the west and expand the territory. "The ambition of the First Emperor remains the same.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Yi will convey your words to Prince Fusu, I believe he will understand Your Majesty." Meng Yi said in a deep voice, the first emperor's ambition has never been lost because of serious illness.

"Ahem......"

Seeing that the First Emperor's face was not good, Meng Yi said with eagerness: "Your Majesty, your body is ......"

The First Emperor waved his hand and said a little tiredly: "It's okay, you go down first." ”

"No!" Meng Yi left respectfully.

Not long after, Zhao Gao returned, and saw the First Emperor lying on the table, he shouted in fright: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......"

The First Emperor opened his eyes dimly, he was weak, and said in the twilight: "Zhao Gao, this holy decree is kept by you. ”

Zhao Gao looked at the sealed silk on the table, he nodded, and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, Gao will keep it properly." ”

"Hmm!" The First Emperor said in a deep and thin voice, "You can go down too, I am very tired and want to sleep for a while." The First Emperor continued to lie on the table again, the carriage continued to walk, the body shook, and in a hazy way, the First Emperor felt that he had returned to the era of riding horses to fight, and he smiled slightly, "I want to fight again." ”

At night, a meteor streaked across the sky, followed by a sudden appearance of stars in the originally dark night sky, with several of the brightest stars twinkling continuously. On the edge of the river, an old man looked up, he sighed, and muttered: "The superstar has fallen, the stars are rising, and chaos is coming." ”

The river is turbulent, the waves are continuous, a flat boat goes against the current, there is a soldier standing on the boat, near the shore, the Taoist priest bowed his hand to the old man, and said respectfully: "Senior brother." ”

The old man didn't look at the Taoist priest, but said lightly: "Now that you have gone to sea, what are you doing when you come back?" ”

"The world is going to be chaotic, and the junior brother can't rest assured that the senior brother is not the same as the senior brother, and I hope you can go overseas with the junior brother." The Taoist priest on the boat replied in a condensed voice.

"Let's go." The old man waved his hand, he looked at the sky again, and then turned to leave, singing to himself: "What do you have to do with the stars rising around, just be a stone prince in Jibei." ”

Looking at the old man's back, the Taoist priest on the boat bowed deeply, and he sighed again: "Senior brother, take care." Immediately, a leaf boat left with the river.

In Wen County, Hanoi County, there was also a woman looking up at the night sky, she didn't say anything, but returned to the room with a solemn face.

In the night, Zhao Gao entered the carriage, he held a bowl of rice porridge, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the porridge is here." ”

Seeing that the First Emperor did not move, Zhao Gao took another step forward and said again: "Your Majesty, wake up." And the First Emperor still didn't move, Zhao Gao was puzzled, and carefully patted the First Emperor's arm, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......"

Zhao Gao tentatively touched the cheek of the First Emperor, he suddenly sat down on the ground, letting the rice porridge in the bowl spill, Zhao Gao's face turned pale, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has died!" ”
