"The scriptures of "Mountains and Seas" passed down in the world often record the medicine of immortality, and it is also said that in the south of the Great Wilderness, there is an immortal country, whose people are black, eat licowood, and live forever. Naganmu, perhaps, is also an elixir of immortality. But I'm curious that those people from the Immortal Kingdom are all black, and I don't know what they look like. ”

Li Shiqi continued while playing with the wine in his hand: "In addition to the classics, Qilu and Yandi also often spread that there are sacred mountains and fairy islands in the sea, and there are legends of immortals and immortal elixirs on them. ”

"I heard that King Qi Wei, King Qi Xuan, and King Yan Zhao all sent people to sail into the sea to search for the immortal island of Shenshan Mountain, to seek the medicine of immortality, and try to achieve immortality. It's just that the sea is vast, and no one can find it. According to what those monks said, it was only because these three kings lacked virtue and merit and did not have the mandate of heaven to add to their bodies, so they could not find the Divine Mountain Immortal Island and obtain the medicine of immortality. ”

Li Shiqi talked eloquently.

Zhao Tuo sneered when he heard it.

Those alchemists are really masters of logic.

There is an immortal elixir in the overseas sacred mountain, but whether you can find it or not depends on whether you have this matching virtue and meritorious deeds.

If you can't find it, it's not because they're bragging, it's because you don't have the corresponding virtues.

With such logic, the monks are inherently invincible.

Coupled with the constant legends and the mystery brought by the unpredictable sea, countless people are convinced of it.

Even Qi Wei, Qi Xuan, and Yan Zhao, the three monarchs who seemed to be quite wise, also joined one after another.

With these three kings as demonstrations, the legend of this overseas immortal mountain has spread more widely.

Even the First Emperor was attracted by it and summoned the world's warlocks to Xianyang, and it was naturally self-evident what its purpose was.

However, the legendary elixir of immortality is elusive, and in order to strengthen their rhetoric, those alchemists will naturally come up with something to attract the king's investment and trust.

For example, the lacquer box placed in front of Zhao Tuo's case.

In the black silk silk, there are two pills that reflect multicolored light.

Li Shiqi stared at the two pills and said, "I heard that those monks used furnace fire to refine miraculous medicines, and the amount of money consumed was very heavy, and the number of miraculous medicines refined was not much, but it had the effect of prolonging life and strengthening muscles and bones. The emperor can give two to the prince, which shows his love for the prince. ”

Seeing Li Shiqi's greedy look, Zhao Tuo almost didn't laugh.

Just this polymer of heavy metals, you also want to eat?

However, Li Shiqi's performance is normal, after all, this is still a major national event in the worship and Rong, and it is an era when everyone is superstitious.

Zhao Tuo shook his head and said, "Does Mr. want to eat one?" ”

Li Shiqi swallowed his saliva, but still waved his hand and said: "The miraculous medicine given by the emperor to the prince, how dare I eat it, or the prince himself to enjoy it slowly." ”

Zhao Tuo smiled and didn't persuade again.

He said: "Sir is a knowledgeable person, and what I just said about the immortal medicine and overseas immortal mountains has given me a lot of gains. I have some interest in the affairs of the other immortal path, if it is convenient for me, Mr. can inquire about some more monks in Xianyang City for me, maybe I will deal with them in the future. ”

Li Shiqi thought for a while, and arched his hand and said: "Since the prince has orders, the contemptible people must go and get the information of those monks to the prince, and the prince can rest assured." ”

"I am relieved that Mr. will do things."

Zhao Tuo responded with a smile.

The two chatted for a while, and then Li Shiqi got up to say goodbye.

After Zhao Tuo returned to the house after sending people off, he looked at the two pills that were still on the table and fell into deep thought.

Medicine?

Zhao Tuo stood for a long time.

There was the sound of footsteps behind him.

He woke up suddenly, looked back, and saw that it was Yingyin Yan who walked in and was looking at him with a frown.

"Whoa."

"The lover has been depressed recently, could it be because of the fact that his father wanted to give him a knighthood at the court meeting before?"

Ying Yin Yan walked over and gently hugged Zhao Tuo's waist.

Zhao Tuo sighed, he had been thinking about the emperor's sealing of Zen for the past two days, but his wife saw the clues.

Now that the emperor has sealed Zen, it seems that it has been decided, and it is nothing to say.

He waved his hand and asked the waiting maids to retreat, leaving only Zhao Tuo and Yingyin Yan in the room.

"The emperor gave him the knighthood before because he wanted to tour the east and seal the Zen."

Zhao Tuo briefly said the things of the past few days, and explained that he wanted to dissuade and intended to postpone the sealing of Zen, but was vetoed by the emperor.

Ying Yinyan snorted softly after listening.

She shook her head and said, "You, you, why don't you know your father." If it is replaced by some small things, details of things, he still has the point of negotiation. But as long as the father decides the big thing, as long as it is what he wants, even if all the people in the world add up, it is impossible to persuade him. ”

"And my father has always been good at boasting about his exploits, and all the music played in the palace is 'Emperor Shengde' and the like, and it is naturally impossible for him to give up such a major event as Feng Chan, so you don't have to dissuade him in the future, so as not to dislike your father."

Zhao Tuo smiled bitterly.

Ying Yin Yan said that he was naturally very clear, but he still inevitably wanted to give it a try, even if he failed in the end.

Immediately afterwards, Ying Yinyan's next sentence shocked Zhao Tuo.

"My father's temperament is very strong, you can't persuade him, it's still possible to change to a brother. Or Xiao Gao's kind, maybe he listened to you. ”

Zhao Tuo was shocked.

The character of the first emperor, he can't persuade him.

If you change it to Fusu......

Zhao Tuo took a deep breath.

After several major trials, Zhao Tuo had discovered that the First Emperor had an arrogant, domineering and powerful personality.

This is the typical "dictator".

As Ying Yin said, in some small things and details, the first emperor may still listen to persuasion, such as changing the previous Guangci title to the joint advice of Zhao Tuo and Li Si, because this change has little impact in general.

But as long as the first emperor decides on a good matter, it is almost impossible to change.

Like when he wanted to fight Baiyue, Zhao Tuo skillfully used greater interests to lead it to the north, but when the First Emperor was in the Northern Expedition, he still did not give up the attack on Baiyue, and continued to let Feng Wuxue build a road to try.

From this point, it can be seen that what the First Emperor wants to get, sooner or later he will have to get it in his hands.

Zhao Tuo could already predict that no matter how much he repaired the empire, the situation would probably continue to deteriorate.

He also thought that it would be better to lie down and let the First Emperor toss the entire Qin State, he only needed to work hard to preserve his strength, wait for ten years, and after the First Emperor was boiled away, he would keep the Second Emperor to reorganize the rivers and mountains.

After all, Zhao Tuo is still young and has a long life.

Now the nobles of the Six Kingdoms are also half controlled by him.

If the power of Qin can be smoothly handed over in the future, Fusu can successfully ascend to the throne, and listen to him, the two will join forces together, and they will definitely be able to keep this empire and lead Qin to the right path of development.

But the idea of lying flat and sitting idly by, Zhao Tuo just thought about it.

The First Emperor was really good to him.

not only appreciated and reused Zhao Tuo, but also personally crowned him, wrote poems for him, gave him a high lord and status, and gave his daughter to Zhao Tuo, just like treating Zhao Tuo as his half son.

Such good.

It is far from the kind of good use that Jing Ke used to give Zhao Tuo chicken to eat while still pointing a dagger at him.

The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated with a gushing spring.

Zhao Tuo is not a kind person, if you don't work hard, I'm sorry for this kindness and appreciation.

Back then, for the sake of Li Xin, he still risked his life to go to Chudi to besiege Wei and rescue Zhao, a thousand-mile expedition.

Now that the First Emperor treats him better, how can Zhao Tuo sit idly by, wouldn't he become a real treacherous person.

"Try it."

Zhao Tuo whispered in his heart, and his eyes regained firmness again.

He looked at the two pills placed in front of the desk and spoke to Yingyinyan.

"Let people get some food, I will fill my stomach first, then bathe and change my clothes, and take the medicine given by the emperor."

Ying Yin Yan responded, looked at the two glowing pills, and frowned again: "You won't have a problem eating this thing, right?" ”

Zhao Tuo smiled: "The emperor eats it, isn't it okay?" ”

An hour later, Zhao Tuo had finished eating, then bathed and changed clothes, and asked someone to bring clean water.

In front of Yingyin, he raised his sleeves to cover it and took the pill given by the emperor.

"What does it feel?"

Seeing Zhao Tuo put down the sleeves and water glasses that covered his face, Ying Yinyan asked curiously.

Zhao Tuo smiled: "I just ate it, how do you feel anything, I'll find out later." By the way, I'll put one away first, and I'll see how effective this medicine is. ”

Ying Yin Yan wrinkled her nose.

The emperor gave two miraculous medicines, didn't it mean that the husband and wife should have one for each person.

However, she was sensible and didn't say anything, just silently watched Zhao Tuo seal the remaining pill.

Day 2.

The news that Zhao Tuo, the marquis of martial arts, took the medicine given by the emperor and became bedridden spread throughout Xianyang.

The comments have questions about why the protagonist has changed history and why he still walks on the original historical trajectory.

Take stock of what is the history of the protagonist who has changed.

He helped Qin destroy the Six Kingdoms, invented stronger weapons and production tools, made Qin's combat power stronger, had more food, and defeated the Xiongnu Yue clan in advance. Compared with the Qin in history, the Qin here is bigger and stronger, and the emperor's heart will naturally only be more proud than history, right?

In the face of Feng Chan, history has done it, does the stronger emperor here still refuse? If he deliberately refused, wouldn't the emperor's character be distorted.

Confucianism is suppressed, will they shrink their heads and remain silent from now on, or will they desperately want to turn over by sealing Zen?

On the one hand, there is a more proud emperor, and on the other hand, there is a Confucian scholar who desperately wants to turn over and persuade him to become a Zen leader, what will happen?

As for Fang Shi, the previous protagonists are all leading troops outside, and they have no contacts, and they are young ministers in Xianyang, and they are also foreign ministers, so it is impossible to monitor the situation in the palace. In the case that he didn't interact and influence with Fang Shi, how could he change the matter of donating medicine to seek immortals?

The character of the characters and the direction of the plot have corresponding logic. Unless you really stand at the top and the most critical position, how can the torrent of the times be so easy to change.

As for the saying that after sealing the marquis, he held his waist and persuaded the emperor.

According to the author's meager experience in the workplace, no strong leader will like this kind of subordinate, and most of the general tough leaders do not have good results.

Would the First Emperor of the Ages allow a courtier to persuade him?

The Fusu in history is the end.
