"General Meng Tian will accept it, it's just a ginseng. This thing is not the more you eat, the better. It must be noted that medicine is three parts poisonous. Even if it's a good thing, there must be a limit when eating it. I believe General Meng Tian knows that things will turn against each other, right?"

Lu Bu waved his hand, but it was impossible to eat one of the great ginseng a day as rice. More than a hundred ginseng was handed over to Shihuang Wei Zheng, which was definitely enough for Shihuang to eat in the next few years. As for whether Shihuang Wei Zheng could still live or ask Lu Bu for it after a few years, even if that was the case, it would be just a small matter to go there.

Why does the First Emperor Wei Zheng have only a few years to live? Could it be that the Changbai Mountain wild ginseng that Lu Bu presented to the First Emperor Wei Zheng has no effect? ​​This is not the case. The reason why Lu Bu concluded that the First Emperor Wei Zheng had not had many years to live was because he knew that because of his fantasy of immortality, the First Emperor Wei Zheng summoned many alchemists and alchemists to practice the "Immortal Pills" for him in the palace.

Alchemy, also known as the outer alchemy yellow and white art, or the golden alchemy technique, is referred to as the "outer alchemy" guidance technique, which is different from the "inner alchemy" guide technique of the Changshou Zhenren Qiu Chuji Quanzhen Long Sect. Alchemy began around the middle of the Warring States Period, and it was at this time that the vigorous promotion of the Shihuang Emperor's Wei Zheng that it began to become truly popular.

Alchemy was a technique used by the ancients to refine elixirs in order to pursue "longevity". Alchemy refers to cinnabar or mercury sulfide, which is an inorganic compound of sulfur and mercury. Cinnabar is different from plants and trees. It not only burns without being ashes, but also "the longer it burns, the more wonderful the change." The mercury produced by cinnabar mercury is a metal substance, but it is in a liquid state, with a metallic luster and is different from the "form and quality of hardware (gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin). It is "hard and stagnant in nature."

Due to the pharmacological efficacy and physical and chemical properties of cinnabar, ancient alchemists used it as the main material for alchemy. Its body was round and flowing and easy to evaporate. The ancients felt that it was very magical, and then chose other gold and stone medicines to mix and mercury with liquid mercury, mixed with each other according to a certain formula, and repeatedly conducted reduction and oxidation reaction experiments to refine it to the elixir "or elixir".

No matter how magical these alchemy methods were, Lu Bu knew that with the ordinary physique of Shihuang Wei Zheng, he had eaten a lot of this "Nine-Turning Golden Elixir" rich in "nutrients" such as sulfur and mercury over the years, if he did not die, he would definitely be called a golden immortal in the world! Lu Bu presented ginseng with excellent quality, but ginseng could not eliminate the sulfur and mercury in the "Nine-Turning Golden Elixir".

Therefore, even if the ginseng is more delicious, the elixirs cannot play a role in prolonging life. And these 'good medicines' that Lu Bu worked hard to find gave Qin Shihuang Wei Zheng greater confidence under a certain effect. The 'good medicines' that Emperor Lu Bu had taken ten elixirs every day would inevitably increase the dosage of elixirs to ensure that he could 'sustain in the sun' earlier. So to a certain extent, Lu Bu offered was not a 'good medicine' but a 'poison' that accelerated Qin Shihuang Wei Zheng' to 'asce in the sun'!

In the 32nd year of Qin Shihuang (215 BC), Emperor Shihuang went to Jieshi to visit the east and sent Lu Sheng, a local scholar in Yan, to search for Xianmen, and swore the two immortals. He ordered the old city walls of the princes to open up rivers and embankments to facilitate water and land transportation. He engraved the Jieshi Gate and praised the literary and military achievements of Qin.

In the 33rd year of Qin Shihuang (214 BC), after the threat from the Huns to the Hetao area was lifted, Emperor Wei Zheng ordered Meng Tian and Lu Bu to lead his army to cross the Yellow River north (the Yellow River in the Hetao area), seize Gaoque, Yangshan, northern section and other places, build beacon pavilions and city barriers to guard, and drive away the Xirong people from this area to migrate here to garrison and enrich this area.

In the 34th year of Qin Shihuang (213 BC), Emperor Shihuang Wei Zheng ordered the censor Lu to lead a large number of strong soldiers to dig channels between the upper reaches of the Xiangjiang River and the upper reaches of the Lijiang River, connecting the Xiang and Lijiang Rivers to solve the problem of transporting military rations and other materials to hundreds of thousands of troops of Qin in the south. He finally dug into an artificial river channel with a total length of 60 miles. Due to the large drop of the two waters, several Doumen roads were set up in the canal, and ships traveling from north to south can advance and descend. Because the canal is ingeniously conceived, it is called Lingqu, which is a major project connecting the two major water systems of the Yangtze River and the Pearl River.

In the same year, because of the strict Qin law and profound writing, the prisoners were often inappropriate and wrongly attacked the law. After learning about this, Emperor Wei Zheng ordered the prisoners who did not handle the case in accordance with the law and were falsely handled, to guard Wuling in the south, to interfere with the Yue people, and to develop the Lingnan area. This made the Qin officials in various parts of Guandong take a little more attention when using the punishment, but the Guandong people who were already suppressed by the severe Qin law were almost breathless, straightened their waists a little.

In June of this year, Emperor Shi Zheng feasted all the ministers in Xianyang Palace, and seventy doctors delivered tributes. The Qingchen of Zhou praised Emperor Shi Huang, "Putting the country, exile barbarians, and the sun and moon were shining, and all the guests were impressed. The princes were regarded as the princes.

In counties, everyone is happy and has no danger of war, and has been passed down for generations. Since ancient times, it has not been as powerful as Your Majesty."

Shihuang Wei Zheng was very happy, but Chunyu Yue, a native of Qi, criticized Zhou Qingchen's praise for "flattery" and criticized Shihuang Wei Zheng for being overwhelmed by literature, which was not a loyal minister. He also criticized the county system, attempting to persuade Shihuang Qin to follow the ancient laws and grant princes the princes and princes as supporters, and to achieve peace in the world. He also swears to Shihuang Wei Zheng: "Those who do not learn from the past and can last forever are not known."

When Emperor Shihuang heard this, he gave this matter expressionless to the ministers to discuss. Prime Minister Li Si used the example of "the five emperors are no longer, the three generations do not follow each other, and each governs them" to refute Chunyu Yue's arguments, and accused Confucian scholars of praising the past and not present, respecting private schools, slandering the government, and disturbing the people's hearts. He pointed out that the world was in turmoil in ancient times, and could not be unified, which led to the rise of princes and the division of the four seas. The root cause was that "people are good at what they learn privately and establishing them with non-great things."

Seeing that Emperor Wei Zheng did not interrupt his words, but instead had the intention of encouraging him to continue speaking, Li Si made up his mind and said boldly: "Now the emperor has unified the world, and everything is determined to be one. However, private Confucian scholars attacked Qin law, politics and religion. Whenever a government order was issued, they would talk endlessly, "when they entered, their hearts were not broken, and when they left, they would discuss it." Inciting the carriage and slander this life. If this is not banned, the master's power would be surrendered to the top and the party would be successful.

I strongly advocate the "prohibited convenience" of Confucian private schools and their remarks. It is recommended that all the historical books of the countries be burned except for the Qin History Book. Except for the positions of the doctoral officers of Qin, the "Poems", "Books" and hundreds of schools of thought that the people who have kept privately were sent to the government, and the county magistrate and the lieutenant were instructed to "burn them" in a mixed manner. If anyone dares to talk about "Poems" in private, they will be sentenced to beheaded and abandoned in the market once they are discovered. The clan is exterminated from ancient times and not present! Officials who see knowledge but do not report them together!

From now on, thirty days, if someone does not burn these books, they will be found, and will be punished for the death of the city and the Great Wall. In addition, books such as medicine, divination, and planting trees can benefit the people and the people. If you want to learn laws, you should take officials as your teacher instead of private books.

Li Si's words seemed to have given the Confucian scholars a blow, but what made these Confucian scholars even more desperate was that Emperor Wei Zheng seemed to have not made any more considerations and easily approved the "vicious" suggestions put forward by Prime Minister Li Si, and on the same day, he made a decision to burn hundreds of books in the world. It seemed that these hundred books were really as Prime Minister Li Si said, and would subvert his great Qin Dynasty.

In the 35th year of Qin Shihuang (212 BC), the alchemist Lu Sheng was unable to obtain immortal medicine, and he said that there were evil ghosts. The book of alchemy records: the man must do something in a slight way to avoid evil ghosts, "evil ghosts avoid it, and the real person comes." The real person does not wet his body when he enters the water, does not see it in the fire, and will rush into the clouds, and his lifespan is the same as that of heaven and earth. If the man's behavior is known by a minister, he will be harmed by gods. Because he advises the man to do something in a slight way, the palace where he lives is not known, and then he can get the immortal medicine.

The Emperor Wei Zheng was convinced and said that he was "My True Man" and called himself "Zhen Man" not "I". He ordered that within 200 miles of Xianyang City, all 270 palaces and temples were built, with corridors connected, and covered with curtains. Beauties of bells and drums were filled with them. All registered positions were not allowed to be moved at will. Wherever the emperor was lucky, there were those who dared to disclose the secrets to be executed. At the beginning of the execution of this ban, many people died after the execution of the ban. Later, the whereabouts of the First Emperor were secretly secreted and no one knew about it. All the ministers and the emperor discussed matters in Xianyang Palace.

In the 35th year of Qin Shihuang (212 BC), the Fang Shi Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng were not allowed to seek immortal medicine, and were worried that the Emperor Xianhuang would be angry with him because of this. So he followed some Confucian scholars' establishment and ridiculed that the Emperor was "hard and arrogant" and "full-serving prison officer". "Although there were 70 scholars, they were not specially prepared to use it." He accused the Emperor of "happy to use punishment and killing as his power, and the world feared the crime and maintained his fortune, and no one dared to be loyal." He mocked the Emperor of "his intentions and wanted to follow", "greedy for power", and was not worth seeking immortal medicine for him, so he made an appointment to escape.

Qin Shihuang learned that he was furious and believed that Lu Sheng and others "have used words to destroy my great merits and virtues, and exaggerated the emperor's faults of not doing good deeds. He determined that Confucian scholars "may be evil words and tongues", and asked the censors to question the Confucian scholars in Xianyang. The Confucian scholars repeatedly exposed them, implicated more than 460 people, all of whom were killed in Xianyang, and used them to show the world to punish them. Then, a large number of prisoners were exiled to the border wasteland.

After learning about this news in Hetao, Fusu, the eldest son of Emperor Wei Zheng, wrote a letter to Emperor Wei Zheng, and advised him: "When today is the first decision, the people from afar have not yet surrendered, and the scholars of Confucianism only promote Confucius's sayings, Your Majesty will be punished by the extreme punishment. I am worried that the world will be unstable. Please take a look at it."

Qin Shihuang Wei Zheng was furious when he heard this. Not only did he cut off his mind that he had originally planned to recall Fusu from Hetao to be appointed as the crown prince of the dynasty, but he also wrote an edict in an extremely stern tone to scold Fusu.

Once.
