Chapter 422: Qin Emperor's Secrets
Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu to take thousands of boys and girls to the overseas fairy island, hoping to get the elixir of immortality, and the result was obvious, Xu Fu took people to the sea, but never returned, without the slightest news.
Of course, Qin Shi Huang also knew that eggs could not be put in one basket, and he did not put the hope of immortality on Xu Fu alone, he still sent people everywhere to find a way to live forever.
And just when Qin Shi Huang was looking for the method of immortality in the whole country, the time was getting longer and longer, and some people in the country had opinions, and those who dared to advise Qin Shi Huang were of course those Confucian students, Confucianism is the foundation of the country, although Qin Shi Huang had complaints, but he could not do anything to them, and Confucianism's verbal criticism was not a joke.
However, at this time, Xu Fu had been going to sea for a long time, and the cost was huge, but he didn't find the medicine, and even the news gradually broke off, and at this time, Qin Shi Huang already felt that he seemed to have been deceived.
So, Qin Shi Huang ordered the imperial history case to ask everyone, and as a result, more than 460 people were implicated in each other's revelations, and the angry Qin Shi Huang ordered them to be buried alive in Xianyang, the capital of the country at that time. This is the famous "pit Confucian".
Although Qin Shi Huang knew that Xu Fu's line was broken, he soon got the good news that there was a female mage, and it was said that she knew the secret of immortality.
So, Qin Shi Huang sent his henchman general, General Guo Ming, who fought the world together, to find this female mage.
And according to the clues, after searching for a long time, General Guo Ming finally found this legendary female mage, and this female mage. The name is 'Ziyuan'. And she is completely different from what General Guo Ming imagined.
In the impression of General Guo Ming. To be able to become a female mage, and to know such a thing as immortality, must be a person in her seventies and eighties, and she should be an old lady who doesn't know how long she has lived.
However, Ziyuan is not like that at all, Ziyuan is a girl who is not more than twenty-eight years old, and Zhang's beauty is moving. And there is a feeling that is not used in this era, and follows the three obedience and four virtues, if General Guo Ming lives in modern times, he may know that that feeling is called 'strong woman'.
And at that time, women were just vassals of men, and even a commodity. So, see the female mage Ziyuan with your own eyes. After the real appearance, Guo Ming was shocked, and his heart was moved.
Then, General Guo Ming took Ziyuan back to the national capital and brought Ziyuan to Qin Shi Huang.
Seeing Ziyuan, Qin Shi Huang was also amazed by Ziyuan's beauty and momentum, and Qin Shi Huang, who was itching, immediately expressed his meaning to his confidant and good friend, General Guo Ming: "This woman is none other than me."
However, Qin Shi Huang is not in a hurry, he has all women, and there are 3,000 beauties in the harem, which is not blown, if he wants to, 30,000 beauties in the harem can be, compared to women, it is more important to live forever.
And Qin Shi Huang also needs Zi Yuan to help him find a way to live forever, so Qin Shi Huang is not in a hurry, and he includes Zi Yuan in the harem, nor does he have an overlord to bow or anything, but instead sends Zi Yuan to find a way to live forever for him, and is worried that something like Xu Fu will happen again.
Qin Shi Huang sent his henchman, General Guo Ming, to find the method of immortality with Zi Yuan, first, is to assist Zi Yuan, to find the method of immortality faster, with the general, it can save a lot of trouble, and second, to protect Zi Yuan's safety, after all, Zi Yuan is the woman appointed by Qin Shi Huang, and she is also an important person looking for a way to live forever, and personal safety must be guaranteed.
And the most important thing is the third point, let General Guo Ming monitor Ziyuan to prevent things like Xu Fu from happening again, and there is no news of the result, and I am afraid that after Ziyuan really finds the method of immortality, she will suddenly disappear and swallow the secret of immortality.
After a long time of searching, one clue after another search, finally, there is a Tibetan temple in the frontier of the Western Regions, it is said that it is the library with the largest collection of books at that time, and Ziyuan believes that there is a secret of immortality here.
After exploring, Guo Ming and Ziyuan succeeded in finding a book in the secret grid of the Tubo Monastery, which was written in a long-lost oracle bone inscription, which contained a secret of the ancient world, which contained the answers that Qin Shi Huang was looking for, and there were other unimaginable powers.
And in the journey between Guo Ming and Zi Yuan, looking for the method of immortality, the two unknowingly, they had already had a bond, and they both had each other in their hearts, Zi Yuan was moved by Guo Ming's bravery, and although Guo Ming had long been tempted by Zi Yuan, Guo Ming had always remembered what Qin Shi Huang had said to him.
In Guo Ming's opinion, Ziyuan was destined to be the concubine of Qin Shi Huang, and he couldn't violate it, so he pressed the impulse in his heart along the way, and didn't say it, just took unusual care of Ziyuan along the way.
And after Ziyuan was tempted by Guo Ming, she played the style that a strong woman should have and took the initiative to attack.
Although Guo Ming kept restraining himself, love is something that can't be explained, but as a result, Guo Ming still fell, and had an impure physical relationship with Ziyuan, and the two confirmed the relationship.
However, what Guo Ming and Ziyuan didn't know was that Qin Shi Huang actually made two preparations, on the surface, he sent Guo Ming to assist and monitor Ziyuan, but in fact, he sent a group of people behind his back to monitor the actions of the two of them, and the person in charge of secretly monitoring was Zhao Gao.
And the dark grid in Zhao Gaotong's room happened to see Guo Ming and Ziyuan falling in love with each other, turning clouds and rain, but Zhao Gao did not alarm the two, but left silently.
After finding the Oracle Bone Secret Dictionary, Guo Ming and Zi Yuan took the Oracle Bone Secret Dictionary back to the national capital Xianyang and handed over the Oracle Bone Secret Dictionary to Qin Shi Huang.
Although Qin Shi Huang couldn't understand the oracle bone inscription on the oracle bone secret codex, he could feel the great power of the oracle bone secret codex, so he was very satisfied, he believed that the oracle bone secret could bring him immortality.
So, Qin Shi Huang planned to reward Ziyuan, who had made a meritorious treasure hunt, and asked her what kind of reward she wanted.
And Ziyuan's answer was unusual, she directly stated her relationship with General Guo Ming, hoping that Qin Shi Huang could forgive Guo Ming and let her spend the rest of her life with Guo Ming.
This matter, Guo Ming has already discussed it on the way to Ziyuan, Guo Ming told Ziyuan, Qin Shi Huang took a fancy to her and planned to take her into the harem, and he is now with Ziyuan, Guo Ming cannot make Ziyuan a woman of Qin Shi Huang.
And Guo Ming is an old minister who fought the country with Qin Shi Huang, and he is also Qin Shi Huang's confidant general, Guo Ming believes that his contribution to Qin Shi Huang's fight against the country, as well as all these years of hard work, coupled with the merit of finding the oracle bone secret code, should be enough to offset Ziyuan's matter.
Therefore, Guo Ming and Ziyuan did not hide, and directly told their affairs, hoping that Qin Shi Huang would allow it.
Hearing Zi Yuan's request, Qin Shi Huang showed a complicated expression, but he agreed to Zi Yuan's request to let her spend the rest of her life with Guo Ming, and then let Zi Yuan read the contents of the Oracle Bone Secret Dictionary to make him immortal.
Zi Yuan immediately opened the Oracle Bone Secret Dictionary and recited the spell on it, but it was read in Sanskrit, in an ancient language that Qin Shi Huang did not understand, although Qin Shi Huang could not hear the language spoken by Zi Yuan, but he could feel that a powerful power was circulating in his body, and the aging body seemed to be regaining its vitality.
Qin Shi Huang thought that he was immortal, so he took Ziyuan to meet someone.
Qin Shi Huang took Zi Yuan to the outside of the palace, and saw countless soldiers standing outside, wearing battle armor and holding various weapons, these soldiers were the elite soldiers and strong generals who fought the whole world for Qin Shi Huang.
And in the center of these soldiers, there are several carriages, and in the center of the carriage is a person, it is General Guo Ming, at this time General Guo Ming's armor and sword, all have been removed, hands and feet are tied with iron chains, the other side of the chain, tied to these carriages, this is the famous car splitting punishment, can also be called the punishment of five horses divided into corpses.
Seeing this kind of scene, how could Zi Yuan not know that she was deceived by Qin Shi Huang.
Qin Shi Huang had long known that the personal affair between her and General Guo Ming, and Zhao Gao, who was spying on them in the dark, had already told Qin Shi Huang about the matter.
And the reason why Qin Shi Huang did not express it immediately, on the contrary, agreed to Ziyuan's request just now to let her spend the rest of her life with Guo Ming was to let Ziyuan read the Oracle Bone Secret Dictionary, the content on it, so that he could have an immortal body first.
And now, Qin Shi Huang has felt the power in his body, and he thinks that he has an immortal body, and it is time for the truth to be revealed.
Qin Shi Huang is not as easy to talk as Ziyuan imagined, if Qin Shi Huang is good at talking, he really agrees with a soft heart, she spends the rest of her life with Guo Ming, he is not the first emperor Qin Shi Huang through the ages, if he is soft-hearted, Qin Shi Huang would have been in the process of unifying the six countries, in the process of deceitful with the six countries, and he could not die.
Looking at General Guo Ming, who was tied in chains, Qin Shi Huang gave Ziyuan a choice, let Ziyuan become his queen, and he could spare Guo Ming's life.
However, Zi Yuan had already seen through the essence of Qin Shi Huang and knew that even if he agreed to Qin Shi Huang and become Qin Shi Huang's empress, Qin Shi Huang would definitely break his promise in the future.
And hearing Zi Yuan's words, Qin Shi Huang did not hide it, and said directly, he would indeed break his promise, and then, with a wave of his hand, let the soldiers carry out the punishment of car splitting, Zi Yuan saw with his own eyes, Guo Ming was divided by five horses, and he couldn't die.
And just when Zi Yuan was saddened by Guo Ming's death, Qin Shi Huang pulled out, and the short sword on his waist stabbed into Zi Yuan's abdomen, he couldn't get it, no one could think of it. (To be continued......)
