Hey, kid, I love hearing what you're saying at this time!
The First Emperor was extremely angry. After all, he had been deceived by Xu Fu for many years, and now that he had finally discovered that he had been taking poisonous pills every day, how could he not be angry?
But upon hearing Li Lin's thoughts, his sinister gaze suddenly softened.
This made Wang Jian, Li Si, and the others who were lying on the ground breathe a sigh of relief, and they were no longer as frightened as before.
After all, the First Emperor's authority had reached its zenith in this era.
Who would dare to disobey him?
Who would dare to openly rebel while he was alive?
Even if Zhao Tuo, who was far away in Lingnan, had 420,000 elite Qin troops at his disposal, the First Emperor could summon him back with a single imperial edict.
Would he dare to disobey imperial orders as he did during the reign of Qin Er Shi?
Does he dare to call himself the King of Nanyue?
Who knows, before the imperial edict even arrives, his men might have already bound him.
Of course, Li Si and the others never expected that it wasn't because they all knelt down and begged for mercy that the First Emperor showed leniency and forgave them for their past transgressions.
It was Li Lin's own thoughts that amused the First Emperor.
The dark clouds that had been shrouding Mount Tai vanished in an instant.
"You may all rise! Let's leave today's matter behind! From this day forward, any sorcerer of our Great Qin who uses supernatural powers to bewitch ordinary laborers will be executed without mercy, and their entire family, numbering nine generations, will be exterminated!"
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
"Your Majesty is truly a benevolent ruler!"
With the First Emperor's words, "This matter is over," the ministers' hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
Then the First Emperor removed all auspicious omens, including the mythical Qilin.
At this moment, he was no longer interested in any of these things.
Because he felt that the cultivation method Li Lin had mentioned before was the most scientific and reasonable. Even immortals have a lifespan and cannot live forever. If you want to live forever, you have to continue cultivating!
If it weren't like that, wouldn't everyone in the world be a god?
An hour passed.
The final step of the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai was finally completed, and the First Emperor prepared to return to Xianyang Palace.
At this time, he had not yet conceived the idea of touring the whole country.
So after the Fengshan ceremony, he thought about returning to Xianyang.
Coincidentally, Li Lin thought the same thing.
[Phew, it's finally over! Ah, I can finally go back to Xianyang City. Sisters of Ruyi Lane, Uncle will be back to take you to see the goldfish...]
Lost in thought, Li Lin, being a pervert, found himself lost in fantasies, oblivious to everything else.
This lunch is over.
The Fengshan Ceremony at Mount Tai has thus completed its final step.
But everyone was waiting for the First Emperor's order before they dared to slack off. But Li, in full view of everyone, actually let out a few laughs.
The First Emperor shook his head with a wry smile: This little fellow is truly outrageous! To think of such a thing in front of me, in front of so many ministers! It seems he's too thirsty! I must arrange a marriage for him, to ensure his unwavering loyalty to the Qin Dynasty!
Li Si and the others watched him laugh, shaking their heads indifferently.
Previously, they believed that since the First Emperor valued Li Xin's younger brother Li Lin so highly, he would inevitably become a major political rival in the future.
Unexpected.
He was so mediocre and unremarkable. It seems that he just happened to catch the eye of the First Emperor. He had no great abilities and was not worth mentioning!
Li Xin also shook his head.
Doesn't he know what kind of person his brother is?
He's a pervert. When the Xiongnu princess was captured by Meng Tian, this rascal took him to the outside of the princess's bathroom, intending to peep at her while she was bathing.
Unfortunately, before they could see anything, they were discovered by the Imperial Guards, who chased them for dozens of miles, scaring them so much that they hid in a stinking ditch, thus escaping a disaster.
Now that he's giving that inexplicable smile, he's probably thinking about something strange that only men would understand!
It was evening.
When the First Emperor officially began issuing decrees to leave Mount Tai, more than 30,000 ordinary people knelt by the roadside along the way. They were dressed very simply and were all emaciated.
Ying Zheng sat in his carriage and casually glanced at the Qin people by the roadside through the carriage window.
He sensed something was wrong.
Now the world is at peace, and apart from the major battle with the Xiongnu on the grasslands at the beginning of the year, there have been virtually no wars.
Why do ordinary people look so pale and sickly these days?
I didn't see this situation during my previous tours. Could it be that they are all starving, or that things are worse than when the seven kingdoms were at war?
Ying Zheng asked himself whether he was a foolish or tyrannical ruler. He was a great ruler who sincerely wanted to end the conflict between the seven kingdoms and create a perfect country for the people.
But now, witnessing this strange scene, he felt extremely confused.
"Zhao Gao..."
He first called out Zhao Gao, then immediately scratched his head, and continued, "Summon Prime Minister Li Si!"
"promise!"
"Wait, summon the Minister of Justice Wang Ben, as well as Li Xin and Li Lin!"
"Your Majesty, why summon Li Lin?"
The eunuchs serving the emperor knew the identities of some high-ranking officials, so they could understand why Li Xin was summoned, since he was a captain and was highly regarded by the First Emperor.
But who is Li Lin?
Never heard of this person before!
