Qilin Palace.
After all the ministers had left, Ying Zheng was still sitting on the dragon throne, closing his eyes and not saying a word.
He was thinking about what Ying Che had said earlier.
Great Qin had no successor!
This saying did not only apply to Great Qin's Generals, but also to his descendants.
Great Qin's Generals were lacking, but this didn't have much of an impact.
Now that the Great Qin Empire was peaceful and the Xiongnu had Meng Tian guarding them, the borders were safe for decades. Even though the Yue Empire had a small grudge against them, it was not a big deal.
And this time, he was especially careful.
Other than appointing Zhang Han as the general, he also re-appointed Li Xin and appointed Wang Li, the direct descendant of the Wang family, to train the new generation and the middle generation together.
In a short period of time.
Great Qin would not have a shortage of Generals.
The border would be safe!
But the successor.
This had become a worry for Great Qin.
If even a prince like Ying Che was worried, then how could the scattered remnants of the six dynasties and the Hundred Schools of Thought, who were seemingly in harmony with the imperial court, not notice?
afraid
Like Ying Che, they were secretly accumulating their strength, waiting for their deaths so that they could rise up and rule the world.
"Whoosh!"
Ying Zheng took a deep breath.
His heart was filled with helplessness.
He knew that Ying Che was not wrong.
Fu Su and Huhai were both useless, but they were already the cream of the crop among the princes. As for the others, they were even more useless.
They were all useless!
Thinking of all the young masters who were so submissive in front of him, Ying Zheng could not help but feel a little disheartened. But in the next moment, he thought of Ying Che.
But he quickly shook his head.
He did not like Ying Che.
Especially when Ying Che had the intention to rebel.
Although Ying Che was preparing for a rainy day, this was still a rebellion. It was a treasonous act. Moreover, when he was retreating from the court, he heard clearly that Ying Che still had the intention to rebel.
Zhang Han wasn't even his only trump card.
He even had good generals and advisors under him!
In the past five years, Ying Che had never been honest. He had been secretly recruiting soldiers, buying horses, and accumulating strength. He had even been looking forward to his own death.
Such a disloyal and unfilial prince.
How could he be at ease?
But when he thought of his other sons, Ying Zheng could not help but feel sad.
The Eldest Young Master Fusu was brave and courageous, but he believed in Confucianism, which was contrary to his own ideas of governing the country. If he succeeded to the throne, it would not be long before Great Qin's policies changed completely. Without a lasting decree, how could the people still believe in him?
Ying Zheng was not sure.
He did not want to take the risk.
The second son was mediocre.
The other princes were also mediocre people.
I have no talent.
They might be qualified to be ordinary officials, but they were not qualified to inherit the throne.
Youngest son Hu Hai.
Although he was talented and intelligent, he had been living in the high walls and deep curtains for a long time. He did not know the hardships of the people and did not have a big picture. If he succeeded to the throne, he was afraid that the world would be in turmoil and the people would not be able to live.
Although the Tenth Son, Ying Che, had the talent to govern the world, he had used it in the wrong place.
He didn't think about serving the country and offering advice. Instead, he thought about rebelling. It was really difficult for him to give a good face to such a naturally rebellious prince.
Thinking of this…
The more Ying Zheng thought about it, the angrier he became.
His chest started to hurt.
Ying Zheng took a deep breath and forcefully endured the pain. But then, he seemed to have thought of something, and a flash of anxiety flashed across his eyes.
He said to the outside of the hall,
"Zhao Gao, call that necromancer over."
Not long after.
An old man with white hair, a red robe, a bamboo crown, and straw shoes appeared in front of Ying Zheng.
"You said you've seen immortals?"
"I want to know what immortals look like.”
Xu Fu did not panic at all.
He said indifferently,"
"The immortal path is mysterious, how can mortals spy on it?”
"When I was cultivating in the East Sea, I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of an immortal, but it was difficult to see their full appearance. An immortal can move a hundred steps in an inch. Even if the East Sea had huge waves at that time, it was difficult to touch the corner of an immortal's clothes.”
"Before the immortal left, he also discovered my existence. Seeing that we were fated, he gave me a bottle of immortal pills, saying that this pill could cure all kinds of diseases in the human world.”
As he spoke, Xu Fu took out an exquisite jade bottle from the leather box at his waist.
Zhao Gao understood.
He immediately went down to take the jade bottle and brought it to Ying Zheng.
He whispered,"
"Your Majesty, this pill?"
Ying Zheng gave Xu Fu a deep look, then glanced at Zhao Gao, and finally, his gaze fell on the exquisite jade bottle.
The jade bottle's craftsmanship was very exquisite, and its craftsmanship far surpassed Great Qin's craftsmen.
Zhao Gao raised his eyebrows and said,
"Your Majesty, please allow me to test the medicine first.”
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly. After a long while, he nodded.
Zhao Gao poured out a vermillion pill from the jade bottle. As soon as the pill was poured out, the hall instantly wafted with a fragrance. Just smelling it made one's spirit rise.
Zhao Gao picked up the pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
Swallowing!
Ying Zheng's eyes were fixed on Zhao Gao. Sometimes, he would also look at Xu Fu, who was standing in the hall as if nothing had happened.
After a while.
Zhao Gao's face suddenly lit up, and he became excited.
He shouted,
"Your Majesty, the pill is not poisonous."
"After eating it, this subject felt an inexhaustible energy in his body. All the fatigue and toil of the past seemed to have dissipated at this moment.”
"I can eat three cauldrons of food today!”
Ying Zheng's brows instantly relaxed. He reached out his hand and picked up the jade bottle on the table. Instead of eating it immediately, he placed the jade bottle between his palms and rubbed it.
The hall suddenly became very quiet.
After a long time.
Ying Zheng raised his head and looked straight at Xu Fu.
He said coldly,
"I have another question."
Xu Fu stood still, stretched out his arms and caressed Ying Zheng from afar, then slowly withdrew his palms and bowed deeply to Ying Zheng, saying indifferently,""Please ask, Your Majesty."
"Can I live forever?"
