The Qin army not only opened up the territory and expanded the territory, but also the shame of Tu Sui's defeat before the snow.

The first emperor was happy, and rewarded many meritorious soldiers, and at the same time drank the world for three days according to the custom, and gave the old man who was over 70 years old in the world to be rewarded with cow wine to express the joy in his heart.

The world was drunk, and the ministers and officials of the DPRK and China were also able to rest for three days, and they did not have to go to the official office to work except for the personnel on duty and in case of emergency.

Zuo Prime Minister Li Si rarely lay on the bed in the mansion, holding a volume of classics, and read leisurely by daylight.

He likes the feeling of splashing ink on paper, but when it comes to reading, he prefers the touch of holding a bamboo slip in his hand and the faint fragrance.

This always reminds Li Si of the scene of studying under Xunzi when he was young.

On the other side of the room, Li Yuzheng, who came to visit his father today, peeled the fruit in his hand and said, "Father, I heard from Shu'er that the emperor doesn't seem to be in good health, you say ......?"

"This is not for you to discuss, even to me, you should not say more. And Shu'er, you have to tell her that there are some things that you can't talk nonsense, otherwise it will only cause trouble! ”

Li Si put down the bamboo slip and glanced at his son with a sullen face.

Li Yu smiled awkwardly: "Father, isn't it just my father and son here?" And Shu'er and I both know how to be measured, and it is impossible to talk nonsense outside, father, don't worry. The reason why I brought this up is not because I am afraid that something will happen to the emperor, and we can do things for the crown prince. ”

Li Si glanced at Li Yu, thinking that his eldest son was now unreliable, and he was afraid that his future career would still have to be inherited by this neutron.

If you want to cultivate an heir, some things naturally need to be discussed and taught to each other.

Li Si got up and walked to the door, glanced out, waved his hand to the maids waiting not far away, signaled them to leave, and then closed the door and walked back.

He sighed as he walked: "That's the case, the emperor has not been in good health since he was assassinated in Pengcheng. In the past two years, the situation has deteriorated, and I don't know the specifics, let alone ask about this taboo. However, I found that the emperor's eyes were not very sensitive, and his face was often yellow or dark, thinking that he was suffering from a disease. ”

Li Yu said with a smile: "Isn't the emperor cultivating immortals, no matter how he cultivates immortals, he can't get rid of the pain?" ”

"Cultivating immortals?"

Li Si glared at him angrily.

When it comes to the word Xiuxian, his stomach is full of qi.

However, Li Si still suppressed his anger and said to his son: "It is difficult to say whether the theory of cultivating immortals is true or false. You and I don't want to be tainted by the world. ”

Li Yu smiled, knowing that his old father thought of his brother who was obsessed with cultivating immortals again.

In the past two years, Li You has almost no contact with his family, and he has been shrinking in the mansion all day long, and he is as obsessed with this way as the emperor.

Li Si and his wife went to see it several times, intending to persuade Li You to return to the right path, get married and have children, but most of the results were unhappy.

Later, Li Si saw that he could not be persuaded to move, so he simply gave up, and when his eldest son died on the battlefield, he did not go to ask again.

It was precisely because Li You broke up with his family that Li Yu, a neutron, suddenly became the center of the family and a figure that Li Si focused on cultivating, which made him very happy in his heart.

Especially after confirming the news of the emperor's illness from Li Si, Li Yu's mind flew even more.

Once the current emperor collapses, the crown prince Fusu will be able to ascend the throne as the second emperor logically, and then his Li family will be able to take advantage of this wind to soar into the sky.

He has this relationship, and Feihuang Tengda is also a sure thing.

Li Yu felt his heart pounding, full of excitement.

Li Si seemed to see through his thoughts, and said lightly: "The reason why I am telling you this is because I am afraid that you will talk and act arbitrarily. After today, you should not think too much about this matter, but remember to be cautious in your words and deeds, and devote more of your mind to government affairs. I, Li, just need to do things in peace. ”

"That's what my father said."

Li Yu nodded in response.

Now that the emperor is ill, the best choice for their Li clan is indeed enough to sit firmly in Diaoyutai.

You just need to get through this time and you can get everything you want.

Thinking of this, Li Yu smiled again: "In the future, the prince will be the emperor, and my father will be able to show his ambition in his life, overpower that Wang Wan, and become the right prime minister of Great Qin, ruling the world." ”

Li Si smiled, but a shadow flashed in his eyes.

After he instructed Li Yu a few more words, he sent his son away, and he sat in place for a long time.

Eventually, Li Si sighed and picked up the scroll on the case.

"If a gentleman has not obtained it, he will be happy with it, and he will be happy to govern it. It is to have a lifetime of joy and no worries for a day. If the villain doesn't get it, he can't worry. I have already gained it, but I have lost it in panic. It is to have lifelong worries and no day's joy. ”

Li Si muttered, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.

Xun Qing said that before the villain got the position, he was always worried that he would not get it. Wait for it and be afraid of losing, so the villain will live in worry all his life, and there will not be a day when he can enjoy joy.

Lees felt that he was not a villain, but he was still in a state of worry.

The image of a young man came to his mind.

With Zhao Tuo here, can he Li Si really dominate the world?

……

The time has entered early summer, and the temperature has risen, which has made people's hearts warm.

But in one Qin palace, there were several braziers burning, raising the temperature of the room to the point where people would not feel cold when they were naked in it.

The supreme king of the empire was lying on the couch at the moment, with only a silk scarf around his lower body.

The imperial physician Ling Xia Wuhe was kneeling aside, engrossed, taking the silver needles from the tray and inserting them into the acupuncture points of the emperor's lower limbs one by one.

"Xia Wuji, you said that this illness I suffer from is called thirst?"

The First Emperor looked ahead with a blank expression.

Xia Wuhe wiped the sweat on his head and replied carefully: "Your Majesty's words are sweet. These symptoms are very rare, and the ministers have to consult the medical books to get them. This symptom is caused by the upward overflow of the meridian qi of the five flavors. The five flavors are stored in the stomach and their essence is lost to the spleen, which transports the essence of food to the stomach. Because the fluid stays in the spleen, causing the spleen to overflow upward, it will make the mouth sweet. ”

"This is a disease caused by the sweet and delicious fat, Your Majesty often eats sweet and fatty food, the fat makes the inside hot, and the sweet makes the person full, so his qi overflows, and he turns to quench his thirst. If you want to cure it, you should use bluegrass to eliminate the heat accumulated in the body. At that time, this qi will be discharged, the symptoms will disappear naturally, and His Majesty's legs and feet will be cured. ”

The First Emperor nodded, and then smiled: "So what you said and what those Fang Shi said are the same truth." The alchemists said that the sickness of mortals enters through the mouth. As long as I learn to Bigu and don't eat ordinary food, I will naturally eliminate all diseases, and I will not accumulate any depressive heat in my body. No wonder the legendary immortals can live forever, the secret is that they don't eat mortal things, only eat wind and drink dew. ”

The First Emperor said and talked, and even chanted a leisurely journey to himself.

That's a piece of evidence for the immortal theory.

Xia Wuhe's face stiffened, and his beard under his chin swayed slightly under heavy breathing.

He didn't expect the emperor to associate this matter with Fang Shi's Bigu theory.

You said that what the emperor said was wrong, it seems that there is a little truth in it.

But judging from Xia Wuhe's medical experience, if a person really rejects the valley, it is not necessarily a good thing for the body.

It's just that he thought of the emperor's obsession with cultivating immortals in the past two years, and Xia Wuhe still wisely shut his mouth.

The more you talk, the easier it is to make mistakes.

He, the imperial doctor in the palace for many years, naturally knows how to keep his mouth shut.

The First Emperor didn't care about Xia Wuji's answer, he lay on the couch, feeling the slight tingling sensation caused by the silver needle piercing his body.

His gaze was on the front.

According to Xia Wuhe, his illness was caused by eating, and it was not a big problem.

The First Emperor's mind naturally shifted to other places.

"Xiou has been pacified, and there is only one Luo Yue left in the land of Baiyue."

"Zhao Tuo, I'm coming back soon."
