8. Could a young man persuade the Ancestral Dragon? Wang Jian asked Huahua curiously,
Qin Shihuang kept asking questions. Although his tone was soft, every word he said was like a sharp blade that stabbed into Wang Ben's heart.
Wang Ben, who had been furious and determined just a moment ago, panicked when he heard that.
When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but stutter as he spoke.
"I…dare not…"
"Do you not dare to think about it, do you not dare to say it, or do you have both?”
Qin Shihuang squinted and asked again.
At this moment, he was already standing in front of Wang Ben.
Even though Wang Ben was one of the most powerful warriors in the world, he was still in the face of the Ancestral Dragon.
He was enduring the other party's ocean-like pressure.
He still felt immense pressure.
His Adam's apple bobbed. After a long time, he couldn't say a word.
After a long while, he knelt down and said with some sadness.
"This subject…is sentenced to death!"
Seeing his reaction, Qin Shihuang finally smiled.
His smile was like a spring breeze and rain, and the pressure disappeared completely.
He patted Wang Ben's shoulder and said,
"Alright, get up."
"It's not a capital crime."
"After all, not long ago, there was also someone who said the same thing to me. At that time, I didn't even punish him. If you were to be punished for your words because of this, how am I…different from a villain?”
"Previously…someone said the same thing?”
"Your Majesty, you mean…"
Wang Ben raised his head, his eyes filled with anxiety.
"Don't worry. I won't eat this pill again.”
"I…have given up on the matter of immortality.”
Qin Shihuang clasped his hands behind his back and said faintly.
"Ah, I'm not eating anymore, Your Majesty. Are you serious?”
Wang Ben was shocked.
In fact, deep down in his heart, he didn't think that there was much use in remonstrating at this moment.
It was also because of this that when he heard Qin Shihuang say this, he was pleasantly surprised and felt even more incredulous.
When Qin Shi Huang saw this, he smiled faintly." Of course. I am an emperor for thousands of years. My words naturally carry nine tripods. Otherwise, how could I deserve the title of emperor?”
"Yes, yes. However, Your Majesty, this subject is still a little curious.”
Wang Ben waved his hand.
She mustered up her courage and asked curiously. "Which great sage in the court was able to persuade His Majesty to turn back and give up on the matter of seeking immortality? Could it be…Left Prime Minister Li Si?”
Qin Shihuang shook his head and smiled without saying a word.
"Is that the Right Prime Minister, Wang Wan?" Wang Ben asked.
Qin Shi Huang: " What? In your heart, other than these two prime ministers, are there no other capable people in Great Qin?”
" General Meng Tian is still in Shangjun, intimidating the Xiongnu. He is not in the court at all…As for Zhao Gao, he can't persuade His Majesty at all. Who else in the court can persuade His Majesty, dare to persuade His Majesty…"
Wang Ben frowned as he thought about it.
A moment later, he seemed to have thought of something.
His entire body could not help but tremble.
A moment later, he turned his head and looked at Qin Shi Huang. His gaze was even more complicated as he said,
"Your Majesty, are you trying to tell me that the person who advised you to turn back and give up on your search for immortality…is actually my father, Wang Jian?“
"Wang Jian?"
Qin Shihuang was stunned when he heard this.
He raised his head and laughed loudly.
"Hahaha!"
"You really think of your family when there's something good.”
"Think about it. Other than a blockhead like you, who else would take the risk of offending me and come straight to the point about the jindan? Do you think your father is as straightforward as you?
Chehou…was truly a wily old fox.”
"Your Majesty…this lowly subject did not mean that.”
Wang Ben waved his hands in embarrassment.
Look at him.
Qin Shihuang shook his head and said.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore.“
"To tell you the truth, the person who advised Zhen to let go of this matter was a youth who had just turned fifteen.”
"Young man?"
"Just turned fifteen?"
"How is this possible…"
Wang Ben was stunned for a moment, and he found it even more unbelievable.
"How is it impossible?"
"Wang Ben, don't underestimate the heroes of the world.”
"Alright, I've said what needs to be said. Your purpose of remonstrating has been achieved.
Go back early and save your father from worrying.
You're also someone with children, yet you're still so reckless.
Forget it this time, but if there's a next time, you know what the consequences are.”
Qin Shi Huang was in a good mood. After giving a few words of advice, he waved his hand.
He didn't blame Wang Ben.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand.“
Seeing Qin Shihuang order them to leave.
Even though Wang Ben still had a lot of doubts, he didn't dare to say anything, so he had no choice but to retreat.
He rode back the way he came.
He had just arrived at the city gate of Xianyang City.
Instead, he met his own father, Wang Jian, who was riding out of the city.
Wang Jian was travel-worn at this time. Clearly, he had just received news from home.
They wanted to go to the temple and plead for Wang Ben.
In his mind, Wang Ben should have been tied up by the furious First Emperor.
That was why he was surprised to see Wang Ben turn back the way he came.
After the pleasant surprise, the first reaction he had when he came back to his senses was naturally a torrent of curses.
"Little brat!"
"Why are you so reckless?”
"Who told you to go and remonstrate with His Majesty? Do you want to die?"
Then, Wang Jian rolled up his sleeves and started to kick Wang Ben's ass.
Poor Wang Ben, even though he was one of the few famous generals in the world.
However, facing his own father, he had no way to fight back.
He could only plead and explain.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting. Father, I'm back safely. Look, there's not a single injury on his body.”
Wang Jian was stunned as well. He lowered his head and looked at Wang Ben from head to toe, only to find that he was unharmed.
He couldn't help but feel suspicious. He asked again," You brat, if I didn't mention this, I would have forgotten. What exactly is going on?" Did you not see His Majesty?"
" Not really." Wang Ben shook his head." To be honest, I'm still confused about this business."”
"Dumbfounded? What do you mean?"
General Wang Jian, who was initially furious, became curious after seeing Wang Ben's attitude.
As for Wang Ben himself, he just smiled and said that there were too many people around, so he wanted to go home first.
Seeing him like this, Wang Jian could only go along with his thoughts too.
After reaching home.
She grabbed his arm and asked impatiently. "Little brat…"
"Tell me, what exactly happened?”
"Father, it's like this…"
Seeing his father's angry face, Wang Ben decided not to hide anything.
He opened his mouth and told her everything that had happened in the Taoist temple in detail.
Wang Jian, who was already curious, widened his eyes and exclaimed after hearing Wang Ben's description.
"What did you say?"
"You mean that after your death remonstrance, not only did His Majesty not get angry, he even smiled.”
"And he really agreed to your request? He swore that he would never swallow a golden pill again in the future?
"How is this possible?"
Wang Jian muttered. Even someone as smart as him felt his head turn into mush at this moment.
Look at him.
Wang Ben nodded and said.
"Yeah, I also thought it was impossible. At that time, my first reaction was that I thought I heard wrong.”
"Later, His Majesty told me that it was a fifteen-year-old youth who persuaded him. I felt even more confused.”
"Father, do you think our Emperor has changed?”
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're the one who's changed. You're not the one who can criticize His Majesty behind his back!？”
Wang Jian snapped out of his daze and glared at Wang Ben.
"Father, I didn't mean it that way."
Wang Ben waved his hand and explained,"
"I'm just curious. Father, Li Si, and even the officials of the court couldn't persuade His Majesty. Who exactly was that fifteen-year-old youth to have such great ability?”
"Alright, stop talking. If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute.”
Wang Jian glared at Wang Ben.
She was obviously still angry at him.
However, he frowned and fell into deep thought.
Obviously, she was curious about the young man that Wang Ben mentioned.
He wanted to know who the other party was.
Could it be…some rare talent?
