Chapter 247: The First Emperor is Reluctant to Give Up the Qin Empire

In the Zhangtai Palace, the First Emperor, who was wise and brave but extremely busy in the past, now sat on the main seat facing the palace door with his eyes slightly closed.

The flickering candlelight in the hall, along with the light coming through the doors and windows, cast a faint halo on the first emperor since ancient times.

So much so that Gao Zhan, who stayed in the hall to serve, thought he had seen a god.

Or maybe, His Majesty is actually no different from immortals and gods?
After all, if you are not a fairy or god, how can you accomplish such great achievements that will be passed down through the ages?

However, Gao Zhan knew better that the reason why the First Emperor did not even read the memorials that he always kept in his hands was because His Majesty was waiting.

Waiting for the alchemy results from the man who claims to be an immortal master!

"Your Majesty, Xu Fu requests an audience!"

Just then, a black-armored guard strode in.

He did not report it directly, but whispered a few words into Gao Zhan's ear, then turned and left.

Instead, Gao Zhan walked quickly to the front of the First Emperor and reported in a low voice.

He stared blankly at the First Emperor outside the palace, as if he had just heard something unimportant, and spoke in a cold voice.

"Xuan!"

"Xu Fu, meet your majesty!"

Following a shout, Xu Fu, whose hair and beard were all white but whose back was straight, whose face was as rosy as a baby's, and who was dressed in the attire of an alchemist, stood in front of the First Emperor with a calm expression and bowed calmly.

You know what, at least the attitude, behavior and appearance are really like those of a god.

"What's the matter?"

The First Emperor glanced at him calmly, without showing any emotion, and asked in the same cold voice as before.

But just these two words, accompanied by the slightly turned gaze, were like a mountain pressing down on one's head, giving people tremendous pressure.

But Xu Fu seemed not to feel any pressure at all, nor was he afraid at all. He even had a bit of arrogance. He took out a box from his arms, raised his hands above his head, and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty's blessing, Xu Fu has fulfilled his mission!"

"The Immortal Emperor Pill that I mentioned to Your Majesty a few days ago requires taking the Foundation Establishment Pill first before you can proceed step by step."

"Now that I have made the foundation-building pill, I have come to present it to Your Majesty!"

Gao Zhan watched this scene from the side and frowned slightly.

He did not dare to hide anything about the First Emperor's decision.

However, as far as he was concerned, he felt that there was always something unpleasant about Xu Fu.

It seems that this behavior, this action, and this word are all a little too "perfect".

This is also because Gao Zhan has too little experience.

If Ying Yuan were here, he would probably give a thumbs up and praise: "Great acting!"

In the face of Xu Fu's behavior, the First Emperor just nodded slightly and said "hmm".

Gao Zhan walked up to Xu Fu, took the box that was held high, and then quickly walked up to the First Emperor, opened the box first, took a look at it, and then placed it in front of the First Emperor.

But I saw that the box was covered with brocade, and in the middle of the brocade was a golden, round pill!

This pill, not only does it look perfectly round, it also exudes the scent of medicinal herbs and shines with light.

Just by looking at the appearance, you can tell it is extraordinary!
Seeing that the thing had finally come out, Xu Fu hurriedly explained.

"Your Majesty, although this item is only used to build the foundation for taking the Immortal Emperor Pill in the future, it can also improve your essence, strengthen your kidneys, and strengthen your body!"

"Just take it with water and it will make you feel refreshed!"

The First Emperor listened to Xu Fu's eloquent words, but he just nodded slightly!

"Step back and claim your reward!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xu Fu shouted loudly, as if he had received a great reward. But if someone looked closely, they would find that there was no trace of surprise in his eyes!

After Xu Fu left, the First Emperor looked at the golden pill in front of him and murmured softly.

"Immortality?"

"I don't need immortality. Ten years is enough for me!"

"I haven't seen enough of the mountains and rivers of the Great Qin!"

As an empire that was able to create a military equipment manufacturing assembly line and achieve universal and standardized parts before the Christian era, the Qin Dynasty was also incredibly efficient in government affairs.

Look, Ying Yuan just waved his hand and made some arrangements, and flyers began to be distributed in Xianyang city immediately.

"Ah? This... this... this is paper, right?"

"Don't worry about whether it's paper or not. I just want to know what's written on it and why there's a picture on it."

"Are you stupid? Don't you see that there are two people fighting on the picture, and someone is writing with a pen?"

"Oh my god, life is unbearable in this government. They give out gifts to everyone they see!"

"Stop wasting your time. You don't know eight characters in total. Let someone who can read take a look!"

"."

As flyers were distributed in large quantities, exclamations echoed throughout the city of Xianyang.

It’s interesting to say, considering that even in Xianyang city there were not many people who could really read.

So, there are actually pictures on this flyer.

The main point is, if you can’t read, can’t you understand the picture?

Anyway, it's all a matter of carving the blocks and then printing them. Whether it's words or pictures, it's just a little more troublesome for the carving master, and there's really no difference in printing.

However, the people still have a choice.

The only thing to do is to find someone who can read it to you.

"Old Yang, Old Yang, where are the people?"

"Hurry up, come quickly!"

"Look, I don't know what the government is thinking. Life is unbearable."

"Last time they just posted notices, but now they're handing them out to everyone they meet!"

"This can't be fake, right?"

"Isn't it said that if you take this paper and smell it, you will feel relaxed and happy?"

As people shouted, an old man finally walked over slowly, carefully took the "flyer" and said loudly.

"Prince Ying Yuan, the regent, ordered that Prince Fusu has established the Juxian Hall for many years, just to select talents for the Qin Dynasty."

"I admire his heart and understand his ambition, so I specially order Master Fusu's Juxian Hall to host the Heroes Conference!"

"This meeting will be divided into two categories: civil and military!"

"In literary and martial arts competitions, everything depends on ability. Anyone who can achieve some success can become an official in the imperial court of the Great Qin!"

"The first place in both the civil and military rankings will be awarded the titles of 'Literary Champion' and 'Hero' respectively, and the title will be announced to the world!"

The old man called Old Man Yang was stunned when he saw this!

Since ancient times, officials could only be recommended by nobles, aristocratic families, and officials.

Even if it is to achieve the great military honor of the Qin Dynasty, it would require risking one's life amidst a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood to have even a slight chance of success.

But now, just by competing, you can enter the court?

What a blessing this is!
Only a fool wouldn't participate!
Defy the will of heaven and change your destiny, right now!
