Chapter 81: The First Emperor's Troubles
A golden pill was swallowed into the abdomen, and the spiritual head came up visibly with the naked eye.
The medicine of Jindan, in the cognition of this era, is a serious medical supply, although Xia Wuhe tried his best to dissuade it, but the character of the first emperor is difficult to accept the decline in his energy, and everything is handed over to others.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the three princes and nine ministers had great power, and there were many affairs that could even be handled directly by skipping the emperor, and the power was even greater.
The original process of a country's political affairs is to send it to the prime minister first, approve it by the three dukes, and then choose the matter to play to the emperor. Then the place was issued.
But at the request of the first emperor, the process became all the things of the whole country, first sent to the first emperor, the first emperor personally looked at it, and then sent it to the three dukes and nine qing, after the three dukes and nine qings approved, the first emperor covered the seal, and then it could be sent to the world.
After that, he will also make a big tour of the world, go to various places in person, and learn about local political affairs.
As a workaholic, the First Emperor was like this for more than 20 years.
But as he grew older, he began to become more and more powerless, and Meng Yi was able to serve the king because of this.
Later, as he grew older, his energy continued to decline, and Jindan also became a common medicine for the first emperor.
One for a refreshing look.
Two ......
In short, Jin Dan can be regarded as the hard demand of the First Emperor, in this case, even if Xia Wuhe tried his best to dissuade him, the First Emperor himself would not listen to it, after all, the doctors of this era were mixed, and Xia Wuhe did not dare to completely deny the efficacy of Jin Dan.
Because of the medicine, his spirit doubled, and the first emperor quickly disposed of the rest of the government affairs.
Xu was late at night because of the effect of the medicine, but his spirit was still high.
Under the service of Zhao Gao, the first emperor lay down with his clothes closed, unable to sleep for a long time.
All kinds of thoughts flashed in my head, and I was highly excited, but my body was tired and longed to fall asleep and rest.
In a short period of time after taking Jindan, it was difficult to fall asleep, and although the First Emperor was in high spirits at the moment, his body could not continue, so he could only lie down with his eyes closed and turn over and over, falling into a half-asleep state.
Tossing and turning all night, I felt as if I had slept for a long time, and when I opened my eyes, the sky was still dark, and so on, and so on, and the first emperor asked Zhao Gao again.
"How long have I been asleep?" The voice of the First Emperor came.
"Your Majesty, in less than an hour." Zhao Gao gave an answer.
The First Emperor felt a burst of irritability in his heart for no reason, and in just an hour, he felt that he had woken up and fallen asleep, and had repeated it many times.
Such a short and awake sleep is a great torture for people with poor sleep quality, but considering the workload of tomorrow as always, the First Emperor finally held himself back and repeated the process of waking up and sleeping, sleeping and waking up again.
Difficulty falling asleep, sleep disorders, and extremely poor sleep quality are also one of the sequelae of taking Jindan.
Today's First Emperor, every night, lying in bed, almost takes more than half an hour to fall asleep.
Dreamy, easy to wake up......
Another night of torture...... The First Emperor woke up the next day only feeling exhausted and asleep, but it seemed that he had not slept again.
It was as if I had been awake all night, and as if I had fallen asleep, with sore muscles and bones, sore eyes, and a swollen head.
Quietly waiting for the attendants to serve, change clothes, and freshen up, the first emperor was silent for a moment and took out the golden pill and began his day's energetic work.
His day goes on and on......
It's just that now that I'm getting older, I can't help but need Jin Dan's assistance.
Meng Yi listened to the music in front of the king on the side, and the work he was responsible for also included giving the first emperor the focus in advance.
Although the three orders and five declarations are simple, the number of words is still a common problem for ministers everywhere.
After all, local officials are far away in the world, and all year round, just such an opportunity to show their faces in front of the First Emperor, how can they honestly report in that dry summary.
Some vaguely expressed their political opinions, some expressed their literary brilliance, and some patted their sycophants.
The current situation has been rectified, the first emperor has just ruled the world, that will be exaggerated, the counties and counties three days two ends of the two jumps out of an auspicious book to the court, in order to the first emperor to sing praise, there has even been an article with the number of words so many that you need to use a basket to install the abstract situation.
The First Emperor's review of the folds is really ten lines at a glance, after all, it has been practiced for decades.
The matter of bandits in various places was classified by Meng Yi, and the last brain was thrown to Li Si to give Li Si a headache, and today's situation is better, there are not so many things to deal with, more just routine reports.
So much so that at noon, with the assistance of Meng Yi, most of the first emperor's government affairs had been handled, and there were few remaining twists and turns.
The rest of the point will only take half an hour at most.
Stop working, drink and rest.
Two meals a day were the norm in this era, including the aristocracy.
But for the upper class, although they don't eat at noon, they often eat some dim sum buttermilk to fill their stomachs.
Just like Western afternoon tea, how can a rich person not eat anything and be hungry from morning to night like ordinary people.
The First Emperor also had the habit of eating some dim sum buttermilk at noon, after all, it was easy to get dizzy when he was hungry and handled work intensively.
After a while, the pastry buttermilk is served.
They are all relatively light things with a slightly sweet taste.
The First Emperor ate a few bites, but his appetite was still a little lacking.
But it wasn't too obvious, I barely ate some snacks and drank some buttermilk to fill my stomach, and I didn't have so much to do in the afternoon, and I could still find time to lean on the chaise longue and stagger.
The drowsiness soon set in, but he couldn't sleep peacefully.
The First Emperor didn't force it, but just squinted his eyes and pretended to sleep to cultivate his mind.
"It's strange, I went to the Lantian camp twice." The First Emperor shook his body and spoke softly.
"Both times I returned with a full stomach, although the things made by this kid Zhao Si are fresh and delicious, the craftsmanship is not as good as the palace people, the palace people learned it, the same dishes are partial and difficult to swallow." The First Emperor chuckled, helpless and self-deprecating.
I vaguely remember that I tried the recliner in Lantian two days ago, and I was able to sway for a while before falling asleep. also happened to catch Zhao Si, a kid who was sneaking at himself.
This feeling of falling asleep quickly is something that the First Emperor has not experienced for a long time.
"Xu is a lot of government affairs......" Meng Yi, who was doing keyword review for the First Emperor, replied.
"Your Majesty is worried about the country and the people, and your body hurts your ......," Meng Yi said.
But Zhao Si is really like this......
It may not be possible to say how shrewd Zhao Si is and how good he can speak, but getting along with this kid can always make people feel like a spring breeze.
