Everyone looked at the miserable rabbit on the ground, their faces pale.
The smile on Ying Zheng's face froze completely, and a bone-deep fear rose in his eyes, as well as... anger!
" This pill is really poisonous!"
"I actually took this poison pill for two years!”
"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"
Ying Zheng's voice was filled with rage, and it almost tore off the entire roof of the palace.
Meng Yi, Wang Ben, and Feng Quji were trembling in fear.
In a trance, they seemed to see the first emperor who had once swallowed mountains and rivers.
Even the usually calm Zhao Tuo could not help but be slightly moved at this moment.
This…should be the real First Emperor, Ying Zheng.
"Men! Arrest all the alchemists who dared to refine poison pills!”
"Here!"
Hearing Ying Zheng's order, all the Iron Eagle Guards responded instinctively.
Then, he recalled that now…they should only obey the orders of the second emperor.
Zhao Tuo obviously wouldn't be petty about this matter.
"Go ahead."
"Here!"
The figure of the Iron Eagle Guard disappeared outside the door.
"Sigh…"
After a long silence, Ying Zheng suddenly sighed and slowly sat back down beside Zhao Tuo.
"Fine…fine."
Looking at Zhao Tuo's handsome face and his black dragon robe, Ying Zheng suddenly showed a gratified smile.
"If my youngest son is like this, the Great Qin Empire will last for thousands of generations. Why would I need to seek that illusory immortality?”
"Hahahaha…"
Ying Zheng's smile slowly faded away, and a hint of relief appeared in his eyes, as well as a little bit of obsession.
"Tell me, how much time do I have?”
Looking at Ying Zheng's 'I've already started reading' look, Zhao Tuo said with a smile,""Although chronic mercury poisoning is scary, it is not a terminal illness.”
"If Father stops taking these pills from now on and improves his diet, there might be a possibility of recovery.”
"When the time comes, I reckon that it won't be a problem to fight the world again.”
"However, if you continue to consume large amounts of medicinal pills and overwork yourself like this, then just as I said before, you definitely won't be able to survive this expedition.”
Ying Zheng nodded.
Now that he had calmed down and thought about it, Zhao Tuo's words were indeed reasonable.
"So…you forced me to abdicate and ascend the throne today before I went on my tour?”
Zhao Tuo nodded.
"Father ended hundreds of years of chaotic strife and swept through the six countries to unify them. He unified the currency, writing, and weights and measures, laying the foundation for the prosperity of the future generations.”
"It's not an exaggeration to say that he's the first emperor in history.”
"Hmph…that's true!"
Hearing such words from Zhao Tuo's mouth, although Ying Zheng's face was still stern, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly, betraying his true feelings.
"However, when the Great Qin Empire was just established and was in dire straits, Imperial Father took advantage of the rhinoceros horns, elephant tusks, jade, and jewelry of the Baiyue Empire. He ignored the country's situation and the climate of the Baiyue Empire and blindly went out to attack, delaying the development of the Great Qin Empire.”
"After being obsessed with immortal techniques and pills and painstakingly seeking the illusory immortality of immortals, he seriously overdrafted the country's strength.”
"As a result, Great Qin is now in chaos and has hidden dangers.”
Zhao Tuo let out a long sigh, looked at Ying Zheng and said,""The current Great Qin seems to be stable, but it's only because Father's prestige is still there that the six countries 'remnants dare not act rashly.”
"And once Imperial Father passes away during this expedition…the remnants of the six dynasties will once again rise up in revolt, and the people who have been holding grudges for a long time will also take this opportunity to rise up.”
"At that time, the foundation of Great Qin, which was built by six generations of heroes, will be completely destroyed!”
Hearing Zhao Tuo's words, Ying Zheng felt a chill down his spine.
He looked at Meng Yi, Wang Ben, and Feng Quji.
Seeing that the three of them were calm, he could not help but ask,"Tuo 'er told you about this before?”
Meng Yi nodded.
"Yes, High Emperor. A few years ago, His Majesty told us about the pros and cons.”
"Then why didn't you remind me?”
Meng Yi and the other two looked at each other and revealed bitter smiles.
"High Emperor, at first, we did not want things to develop to this extent, so we came to persuade High Emperor, but High Emperor…flew into a rage.”
"So…I had no choice…"
Meng Yi stood up and bowed to apologize." High Emperor, we really don't want to see Great Qin give away the territory that it took hundreds of years to conquer!"”
"I don't want to see…the people of the world fall into danger again! High Emperor!"
"Sigh…Fine…Fine."
Ying Zheng waved his hand, gesturing for Meng to go back and sit down.
Letting out a long sigh, Ying Zheng said in a deep voice again.
"There is still one thing I don't understand."
Seeing that Ying Zheng's tone towards him had softened a lot, Zhao Tuo's lips curled into a smile.
"Father, please speak."
"You said just now that the people of the world would take the opportunity to rise up. Zhen does not agree.”
"Although your elder brother Fusu is indecisive, even I have to admit that his benevolent policies are deeply loved by the people of the world.”
"If I really die on the road and help Su succeed the throne, at least the people of the world will not take advantage of the chaos to revolt and even help Great Qin.”
Zhao Tuo smiled and nodded.
"Imperial Father is right. In This Emperor's opinion, if Big Brother Caiying is here, Great Qin will be in chaos for a while, but it won't be completely toppled.”
"Then…"
"But what if…the successor is not Brother Fusu but Huhai?”
