Emperor Qin

The downpour of rain began to drip from the time of worshiping the heaven and the earth.

The stone steps of Mount Tai were built and excavated by the heavy relatives when the king of Qin decided to sacrifice to the heaven and the earth. But the peak of the thousand meters, just walking, took a whole day and night, and rested on the mountain in the middle of the night. Mount Tai sunrise.

King Qin was in a very happy mood all the way, and Yan Jiang even tied a crown on him personally, bathed and repaired his face, and then he calmly offered sacrifices to heaven and earth.

He stood quietly among the round mounds, reciting sacrificial texts, full of vigor and poise.

Maybe there is no reverence for the heaven and the earth, or even the sky is jealous, so when the inscription on the standing stone was read out, the heavy rain began to fall.

King Qin calmly read the sacrificial oration in the rain, but he did not leave for a long time. It was obvious that there was a breeze, but the officials felt suffocated.

The dripping of the rain made all the ministers change their faces.

Yan Jiang looked at King Qin with a stern face, walked to his side, and said gently and calmly: "There is a severe drought in the world, and the suffering has lasted for a long time. Your Majesty personally touched Mount Tai and touched the world. Only then will this rain fall to relieve the suffering of all living beings. I congratulate you." Your Majesty, God has ordered you."

Li Si actually wanted to say this a long time ago, but he finally dared not speak because of the majesty of the King of Qin. Now that someone speaks, he naturally praises it: "That's right, Your Majesty has established the laws and regulations of all things. The merits of the five emperors, the marsh and the cows and horses, this is the virtue of heaven's rain, this is great joy."

With a leader, all the worshipers on the top of the mountain will kneel down and praise him.

King Qin was silent for a long time, revealed the matter and ordered people to go down the mountain.

But it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, and it is rainy, so some people suggest to rest in the shrine at the foot of the mountain, and return after the rain.

Yan Jiang originally thought this way too, but seeing lightning flashes and thunder in the sky, and the house built next to it for worshiping heaven did not have a lightning rod, so he thought it was better to leave early.

So everyone went down the mountain.

When we reached the mountainside, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the soaring stream in the mountain blocked the road, so we had to hide under the big tree to avoid the wind and rain.

"The heavy rain has relieved the long drought, what else is there to be angry with?" Yan Jiang stared at the misty mountain stream in the distance, standing side by side with King Qin, holding a paper umbrella, and reached out to poke the silent emperor. Not everything goes according to your wishes, such an embarrassing situation can be resolved, not bad."

The King of Qin stared into the distance, and suddenly said: "What I seek will last forever."

"No wonder it's raining heavily, you are too demanding," Yan Jiang couldn't help laughing, and then forced himself to hold back, and said softly, "A Zheng, wise as Xia Yu, wise as Shang Tang, the first king of the Zhou Dynasty, Who can control the virtuous and filial descendants behind you? You are the emperor of the world, and you are only the emperor of the world."

The waiter beside him was not far away. Hearing this disrespectful words, his body was almost stiff, and he wished he could be deaf-mute immediately.

Emperor of the world?

Qin Wang glanced back, the fierce and domineering in his eyes almost made people faint, if it was an ordinary courtier, he would have knelt down and begged for mercy, kowtowed and kowtowed.

But Yan Jiang is not an ordinary courtier. He just looked at the cliff next to him and chuckled: "The ancients said that when you climb Mount Tai, the world will be small. You can see the world, but have you ever seen the world become smaller? As an emperor, can you be true to the world?" Same, son of heaven?"

"Because the world is not small, how do you know that there is nothing in the world, and you can't live forever?" King Qin said indifferently.

"This kind of thing can't be forced." Yan Jiang said gently.

"What if I force it?" King Qin's tone was very light.

Yan Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Your Majesty might as well give it a try."

When the four eyes met, sparks flew everywhere, and the surrounding officials felt even more suffocated.

He stood side by side in the rain, letting the wind and rain caress his coat and temples.

After a long time, the King of Qin turned around without saying a word, and then sealed the tree sheltering from the rain with the official title of "Five Doctors" to show that he has clear rewards and punishments, regardless of humans and animals.

Yan Jiang raised his eyebrows, feeling that something was wrong with Ah Zheng.

He thought carefully about what he had seen and heard along the way. Ah Zheng was always proud and confident, but this trip, he did not get the peace of the world he wanted to see, but unfortunately, his enemy was no longer mortals, but heaven.

No matter how great authority he has, facing the world, he can only accept it and cannot change it.

……

He shook his head slightly, finally sighed and stopped speaking.

Therefore, longevity is also one of the reasons for Ah Zheng's pursuit of immortality, but what he wants more is to go further and get involved in a higher authority.

When the heavy rain finally stopped, when King Qin came down from the mountain, Confucian scholars from Ludi came to congratulate King Qin for sacrificing the heaven and earth, but although their expressions were respectful, they couldn't hide their gloating.

Some Confucian scholars even came to ask for instructions, saying that it was because the etiquette was not in compliance, which caused the rain from the sky. It is better to change his method and do it again, and it will definitely succeed.

King Qin put all these rotten words to the back of his mind.

Then drag A Jiang to take a hot bath in the palace.

Of course, Yan Jiang couldn't keep him unhappy, so he took the initiative to approach him to communicate, which finally made him change his expression.

"Is it really impossible?" Qin Wangyou felt unwilling.

"If I'm really that capable, I can turn Arshak Tiers into a dog?" Yan Jiang snorted softly, "Others don't know me, don't you?"

"You once taught me the art of longevity," King Qin said when we first met, "you even talked about immortality with Axumi..."

"If I lie to you with the technique of longevity, is there any difference from the fact that there is a snow lotus in Tianshan that can't die?" Yan Jiang raised his eyebrows. ?"

Wusun King Asumi is young and easy to deceive. Besides, among the more than thirty countries in the Western Regions, how many people along the northern route have not been deceived by him?

"...You also believe what I say. If they are stupid, you will be stupid too?" He suddenly came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "Snow lotus is also found in Qilian Mountains. You should send someone to collect it yourself."

King Qin was very disappointed.

Yan Jiang approached him, wrapped his arms around his neck, and blew softly: "Your Majesty is begging for immortality, but because of lack of energy, you feel that you are old?"

"..." King Qin turned his head, but did not deny it.

"It's not like, you were so fierce before..." Yan Jiang was confused.

"It's Your Majesty," King Qin said in frustration after finally being defeated by his inspection, "It's old."

At the age of 14, for an owl bird, more than half of its life has passed, and it has already made him feel old and tired.

There is no more energy and time to run out of.

But the person who is with him every day is still young.

……

After the battle, King Qin, who was tired and rested, failed to change his name.

He was a little confused watching his soul fall aside, but his body didn't realize it. The "King Qin" on the bed got up and continued to linger with A Jiang, discussing business law and conquering the world together.

Time moves forward quickly, and he follows the "King of Qin", watching him unify Baiyue, exterminate the Huns, open up the Hexi Corridor, push the empire's territory to the extreme west, and use Wuyue people to build ships and go south to open up Territory, get the land of Yunnan, pass through the poisonous road, and extend the tentacles of Qin State into the chaotic country that has lost King Ashoka.

But gradually, both he and A Jiang were getting old, his eyes began to dim, his energy began to fail, he began to panic, afraid of losing his power and his unfulfilled great career, so he asked A Jiang to tell more Fairy thing.

There was a quarrel between them, and there was resentment.

But they still work hard to solve many deceptions and unhappiness together. As long as they can understand and respect, they can go on.

But at the age of 50, he suddenly fell ill.

The serious illness made him mentally confused, and his previously suppressed temper and unhappiness broke out.

Ah Jiang said he would be cured.

But the disease is getting worse.

The doctor's order disagreed with many of A Jiang's opinions, and he still believed in A Jiang at first, but the faster he lost his life, the more anxious he became.

A Jiang often talked about life and death, and he became more and more unwilling to listen.

He didn't want to leave, to leave this world, to leave A Jiang.

And this, Ah Jiang can't give him.

In his illness, he looked at A Jiang expectantly, as if he was waiting for the last hope.

He needs the elixir, the elixir of Queen Mother Xi.

When the four eyes met, Ah Jiang smiled slightly with a bright look on his face.

Ah Jiang said, "I'll give it to you."

Then A Jiang took the phoenix-shaped meteorite that fell from the sky, and ordered people to build an altar, drive a pile of sycamore trees, and said that as long as the phoenix fire was in it, he would offer the only sacrifice in the world, light the fire, and in the embers, there would be There may be elixir left.

He dragged his sick body, forcibly watched the construction of the altar, watched A Jiang standing quietly in the altar, lit the fire, smiled lightly at him, and said goodbye.

No, this is not the elixir he wanted!

He spat out blood, and together with tears, it fell on the hot ashes.

At this time, someone found the burned phoenix stone from the ashes, and asked him to take the elixir as soon as possible.

He discarded his elixir of immortality, and suddenly, he only felt that whether he died or not died was not important anymore, it was just his last words, let the elixir be buried with him.

But the eunuch Zhao Gao secretly changed the elixir and took it.

After a few breaths, Zhao Gao, who had taken the medicine, suddenly ignited and turned into a ball of ashes.

As he was dying, when he heard about this, he just laughed three times and woke up suddenly!

……

Waking up from the dream, the phoenix-shaped jade pendant was pressed under his body, leaving a mark, and A Jiang wrapped his arms around his waist, sound asleep.

"What a liar!" King Qin pressed his chest, looked at his lover's innocent sleeping face, felt very upset, bowed his head and took a bite.

"Ah Zheng, don't make trouble~" Yan Jiang leaned closer, passing his own temperature over.

King Qin's lips curved slightly, he reached out his hand to smooth his long hair, and said softly, "Okay."
