Chapter 232 If there is a way to become an immortal, would you be willing to give up the throne?

Upon hearing this, Ying Heng raised his lips in mockery: "Father, are you so sure that when that day comes, your kingdom will really fall into Fusu's hands?"

The First Emperor was stunned: "Why is it impossible? If you hadn't suddenly taken action and murdered my most trusted minister Zhao Gao and usurped the throne, this country would have been passed on to Fusu according to my will!"

"As long as Zhao Gao is here, his last wish will be properly carried out."

"At that time, Fusu had the assistance of Li Si and the support of the two great families of Meng Tian and Wang Ben. He was naturally in a stable position when he controlled the world!"

If Ying Heng had not noticed the forged will by Zhao Gao and Li Si lying quietly in the system space, he would have almost been convinced by the First Emperor's words.

Is Zhao Gao really the person you trust the most?
Father, do you know that after you passed away, Zhao Gao’s first priority was to get rid of Fusu?
Will Li Si assist Fusu?
As a representative of the Legalists, would Li Si help Fusu, the successor of Confucianism?
Li Si was not on good terms with the Meng family, so how could he possibly help Fusu?
Can't you see that Zhao Gao used a little trick and Li Si teamed up with him to forge the will?

Ying Heng sneered: "Father, do you think that after you pass away, your son has not interfered?"

“Is there any possibility of such a situation?”

"Will Zhao Gao, your most trusted man, try to get rid of Li Si and then support Hu Hai to take the throne and make him his puppet emperor?"

"Then Zhao Gao will devour the essence of the Qin Dynasty, causing it to decline rapidly."

Upon hearing this, the First Emperor exclaimed in surprise.

"Absolutely impossible!"

"Zhao Gao is my confidant, how could he go against my wishes and harm Fusu?"

"Hasn't he already sent an envoy to deliver my will to the north of Xianyang?"

"You intercepted the will, do you think I know nothing about it?!"

The First Emperor had been reluctant to mention the matter proactively, so as not to disrupt the conversation between father and son at the moment.

However, Ying Heng continued to bring it up, forcing the First Emperor to issue a warning.

Ying Heng was slightly startled when he heard this. He didn't expect that the other party even knew about this. Then he showed a playful smile.

"Father, are you sure that the will sent by Zhao Gao and his men is for Fusu to return and take the throne?"

The First Emperor was stunned: "Why, the edict was written by me personally, is there another version?"

Ying Heng smiled faintly: "You will get the answer to this question later."

"Since you are so concerned about the orthodoxy, I will give you a satisfactory answer!"

"Although I love bloodshed, I never kill innocent people."

"There are absolutely legitimate reasons to deal with Zhao Gao!"

"What's more, after I killed him, when I searched Zhao Gao's residence, I found a lot of hard evidence that he was colluding with the remnants of the six kingdoms!"

"Otherwise, why do you think the grain tax accumulated by the Qin Dynasty over the years has been reduced so much for no reason?"

"Wasn't it that Zhao Gao secretly sold it to the nobles of the six kingdoms who were against Qin at a low price?!"

"Your Majesty, when you were alive, they might have been afraid and dared not act rashly."

"But after you pass away, these clowns will emerge one after another!"

"There is another crucial reason to get rid of Zhao Gao. If this matter concerns you, I will find out the truth for you!"

"So, do you have any questions about the throne?"

The First Emperor widened his eyes. Even though Ying Heng spoke with certainty, he still couldn't believe that all this was true.

He had already decided to pass the throne to Fusu, so how could such a sudden change happen?
It is true that Fusu’s ability is far from that of Xiao Shisan, but orthodoxy is orthodoxy and there is no doubt about it.

However, according to what Xiao Shisan said, even if he did not intervene, Fusu's ending would be tragic and he would not be able to inherit the throne?
If this is true, he must re-examine this issue! At the same time, he must also reconsider the possibility of Xiao Shisan ascending the throne.

If what Xiao Shisan said was true, his appearance was indeed like turning the tide, and there was no suspicion of him usurping the throne!

If I were not here today, the ascension of Little Thirteen to the throne would also be regarded as legitimate.

But this is based on the premise that there are indeed problems with the will, and we have to wait until he presents evidence.

"Humph, this is all one-sided. I'll make a conclusion after you produce evidence!"

Ying Heng nodded slightly, "Since you can understand, please rest assured that the evidence will not disappoint you." "Now, let's change the subject."

"Your Majesty, you are not even fifty yet. Have you ever thought about why you are in such a bad health at such a young age and almost died a few months ago?"

The First Emperor narrowed his eyes. What Ying Heng mentioned was the pain point that he didn't want to touch.

More than a decade ago, he unified the six kingdoms and became the common ruler of the world, and he devoted himself to the pursuit of immortality.

As a result, Confucian scholars and Qigong practitioners headed by Xu Fu began to covet him, and constantly asked him to spend huge amounts of money to collect materials, under the pretext of helping him to refine elixirs.

The First Emperor took Xu Fu's elixir of immortality for more than ten years, but the toxins gradually took hold and his health deteriorated.

Finally, when he could no longer hold on, Xu Fu used his last trick. He used the excuse of leading 3,000 boys and girls and a large amount of Qin Dynasty treasures to go out to sea in search of immortals.

In fact, he fled to Penglai Island with those people and proclaimed himself king.

Under the instruction of Xu Fu, these boys and girls barely learned the small seal script of the Qin Dynasty, and most of them could only remember some radicals.

Therefore, there came into being countries and writing systems.

Those who know, naturally know it well...

The topic has drifted a bit far, let’s get back to the First Emperor.

Under Ying Che's clever guidance and reflection during this period, the First Emperor finally realized that he had been deeply deceived by sorcerers such as Xu Fu and was deeply poisoned.

"Of course I understand. Those alchemists deceived me. The so-called elixirs I took were all fake. Toxins accumulated in my body, and my life span is almost over."

Ying Che nodded in response: "Father, now that you have achieved cultivation, how do you think the poison in your body has been cleared? How will your life span change?"

The First Emperor shook his head and said, "I am old, and my youthful appearance now is just a manifestation of my improved cultivation."

"Although I have entered the realm of a Grand Master, I have a more thorough understanding of my own situation."

"Every time I practice Qigong, I can feel the poison lurking deep in my heart. Who knows when it will erupt completely."

"Therefore, my throne as emperor may not last more than 20 years, and I will really die."

Qin Shi Huang's words were sincere, but he did not forget to emphasize the importance of the throne.

This made Ying Che feel helpless and amused. We are discussing health issues now, and you are still struggling with your throne.

Do you think I really care?

If it weren't for completing the system's tasks and obtaining the immortal cultivation techniques, I wouldn't be willing to take on the throne.

"Father, if there is a way for you to become an immortal, are you willing to give up the throne?"

Ying Che asked in a seductive way.

"Hahaha!"

The First Emperor suddenly burst into laughter.

"If there really are gods in this world, why do I need the throne of the mortal world?"

"I unified the six kingdoms and laid the foundation for the Qin Empire. Now, apart from the Qin Empire you described, I just want to live longer!"

"If there is a fairyland, I will break into it even if I have to lead the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and bring back the method to become an immortal!"

"Hahaha…"

The First Emperor's laughter gradually faded.

"Unfortunately, there are no gods in this world, let alone the way to become an immortal!"

"My destiny is short after all!"

"So, Little Thirteen, there is no need to rush for the throne. I will pass it on to you after a hundred years."

However, when the First Emperor was talking to himself and lamenting that he would not live long, Ying Che suddenly spoke.

"Father, if I can find a way to obtain the art of immortality, can I help you practice immortal arts?"
