Chapter 54 Instructs the First Emperor on Tai Chi and Foot Massage



"I really haven't figured it out yet."

"Because they are elderly, they were all born during the war years, so their thinking has become fixed. In the context of war, they have their own comfort zone. With their comfort zone, they naturally don't think about other things. Therefore, the Qin Dynasty gained the world quickly, and the way it governed the world was still the quick way. It was impossible for them to successfully govern the world!"

"Hmph, I understand now. You're right. The key to the problems in the court is still the people. Of the natural disasters and man-made calamities, the man-made calamities often cause far greater harm than the natural disasters!"

The First Emperor nodded; he had originally intended to reprimand Li Lin.

As a result, Li Lin tricked him into going to another place.

"Your Majesty, I have been in the Construction Bureau these past few days instructing the craftsmen and have heard much from them about the hardships of the common people. So when these ministers used supernatural tales to frame and coerce me today, I could no longer hold back. That's why I spoke the truth. I know that Your Majesty is aware that you are unwilling to speak because the current situation is too chaotic. You are afraid that if you take action, these people will continue to lie low until Prince Fusu comes along and then they will erupt, is that right?"

"Li Lin, you are right. I am getting old now, and the future will definitely belong to you young people. Ever since I stopped taking the elixir of longevity, I have been afraid of death. Alas, I don't know when I will be able to find the immortals!"

As the First Emperor spoke, he suddenly changed the subject and turned his attention back to the immortals.

to be honest.

He still harbors fantasies of finding immortals to prolong his life.

This made Li Lin laugh out loud. "Your Majesty, I told you before that I have a method for preserving health. Since Your Majesty is so worried, I will now teach it to you. As long as you practice diligently and strictly follow my method, you will surely be able to extend your life by ten years!"

"real?"

Upon hearing this, the First Emperor's eyes lit up immediately.

Now, he is truly filled with fear of death.

Because he feared that if he suddenly died one day, the situation in Qin would be difficult to handle after Fusu came to power, he continued to let these meritorious officials go unchecked.

After all, no matter how much trouble they cause, as long as it's within the rules, it won't plunge the Qin Dynasty into turmoil prematurely.

After Fusu came to power, there was a certain period of buffer time.

However, now Li Lin claims to have a method of health preservation that can extend one's life by ten years. If he has ten years to live, what is he afraid of?

Let alone ten years, just give him five years and he can transform the Qin Dynasty!

"Yes! Your Majesty must get at least four hours of sleep every night. Remember, at least four hours. You also need to take a half-hour nap at noon. You must get up early in the morning and practice this set of Tai Chi!"

Tai Chi?

"That's right. There are thirteen forms in Tai Chi, and of course there are versions with twenty-four forms, but these thirteen forms are the essence of it. I happen to know these thirteen forms!"

"These thirteen styles were already drawn on bamboo slips when I was in the Construction Department, so that they could be passed on to others in the future. When I return, I will have them presented to me!"

"Okay, so what's next?"

"Your Majesty, please practice Tai Chi for an hour every morning, completing all thirteen forms, and then reversing the order. You must practice for a full hour. When Your Majesty has breakfast, please remember to eat two eggs and plenty of food. You should eat well in the morning and have a full meal at noon. I have heard that Your Majesty sometimes skips meals, which is not good!"

"Yes, yes, I've remembered everything. What about tonight?"

"Your Majesty has stopped having a late-night snack in the evening, but you can have a dinner that is about 70% full in the late afternoon. Before going to bed, Your Majesty should remember to soak your feet. No matter what season it is, soaking your feet before bed is very beneficial to your health. You can also add some precious Chinese herbs to the foot bath."

As Li Lin was speaking, he suddenly forgot that His Majesty was the Emperor!

The emperor got a foot bath!

I need the beautiful concubines of the imperial harem to massage my feet.

Foot baths have many benefits; they not only promote longevity but can also help strengthen the kidneys.

"Your Majesty, if the ladies of the harem are skilled in acupoints, they can massage your feet and give you a foot bath. There is a lot to know about the feet. Prolonging life is only part of it; more importantly, it can enhance intelligence and eliminate toxins."

"I understand. If I follow your proposed procedure, how long will it take to see results?"

"At the fastest, it should take about three months, and at the slowest, it should take a year to see results. Your Majesty, I feel that your health is in a rather unhealthy state. Tonight, please arrange for someone to give you a foot bath. Of course, if the concubines in the harem don't know how, I remember some diagrams of acupoints on the feet. I can draw them out and have someone present them to them so they can identify them!"

"Good, good, Li Lin, you're a real talent, kid. I didn't misjudge you. Man Yin made the right choice marrying you. Now that you're the Prime Minister of Qin, I'll support you in whatever reforms you want to implement. Go ahead and do it boldly!"

"Your Majesty! Thank you for your trust. Your humble servant will dedicate myself to serving Your Majesty, to the Great Qin, and to all the people of the world until my dying breath!"

"Alright, it's all up to you now. You can go down now!"

"promise!"

The First Emperor nodded with great satisfaction, his expression calm on the surface, but inwardly he was overjoyed: Hahaha, this rascal, from today onwards, he will finally be at my service, won't he? I trust you so much, I hope you will not betray my trust.

If I could truly extend my life by ten years, I would really like to personally see if the Roman Empire was as powerful as this brat claimed. I would let the iron cavalry of the Great Qin sweep across the Mediterranean coast and let the glory of the Great Qin shine on every corner of this earth.
