Chapter 265: The Intense Conversation between the Emperor and His Ministers

"Your Majesty, General Zhang Han requests an audience!"

"Xuan!"

As a majestic voice sounded, Zhang Han, trembling a little, walked into the Zhangtai Palace cautiously.

Looking at the familiar figure standing behind the desk, and thinking about Ying Yuan's entrustment to him, Zhang Han felt his scalp tingling more and more.

"Zhang Han pays respect to His Majesty!"

"rise!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Han saluted normally, and then took the opportunity to take a secret look at him.

Seeing that His Majesty looked normal, I felt relieved!

However, even though he had already arrived before the First Emperor, he was still thinking about one thing.

How can I complete Gongzi Yuan's entrustment of "stopping my father from taking the elixir"?

That is to say, Gongzi Yuan spoke with certainty at the time, and as the leader of the Black Dragon Guard, he did know something about Xu Fu, so he finally agreed.

Otherwise, as he was loyal to the First Emperor, he would never agree to such a request.

"Zhang Han, a few days ago you went to inspect Lao Liu's 100 recitations of the Great Qin Law. What was the result?"

"I have been taking care of my body these days, so I didn't get to hear the result immediately!"

Zhang Han's heart was slightly moved when he heard this.

I finally understood why everyone was in Xianyang City, but I couldn't find a way to report back for several days after completing my errand.

"Your Majesty, Gongzi Yuan's hundred recitations of Qin Law have been checked and copied!"

"As for the execution of the family law, Master Yuan had already completed it, so Master Fusu only accidentally hit him with a willow branch!"

Zhang Han was somewhat embarrassed when talking about his result.

After all, no one expected this to happen.

He knew very well that when His Majesty sent him to Gongzi Yuan to check the so-called "homework", it was actually to warn Gongzi Yuan.

Your Majesty has been calling me a 'rebellious son' all the time, how can you not give me a warning?
But the result?

The knocking was not successful at all!

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Zhang Han's report, the First Emperor instinctively raised his eyebrows.

Obviously he didn't expect that Ying Yuan would be so honest!

"Your Majesty, I have checked carefully!"

"The Qin Law copied by Gongzi Yuan is written in neat handwriting, without any mistakes or omissions, and it's all Gongzi Yuan's handwriting!"

"Young Master Yuan also said that he would come before the Emperor for inspection when the time is right!"

Zhang Han respectfully took the initiative to help the First Emperor resolve his doubts.

"Without a single flaw?"

But after the First Emperor repeated it softly, he turned his head and said unhappily.

"Humph!"

"Rebel!"

"Needless to say, you must have been fooled by that rebellious son!"

"If he copied part of it or didn't write it at all, I wouldn't be surprised, but he copied it without any mistakes, that's the biggest mistake!"

"That rebellious son has been extremely intelligent since he was young. He learns everything quickly, but he hates boring things like copying books the most!"

"But you said that the rebellious son made no mistakes at all, which proves that the rebellious son definitely found a way to cheat."

"Moreover, he was able to confidently deliver it to me, which proves that the rebellious son wanted to give me a surprise!"

As the saying goes, no one knows his son better than his father.

In almost a flash, based on the little information in Zhang Han's report, the First Emperor guessed Ying Yuan's little plan to a near-ideal extent.

But Zhang Han didn't dare to say a word about these things.

How could an outsider like him interfere in the affairs between the father and son of the royal family?
Aren’t you really afraid of losing your life?
However, thinking of Ying Yuan's previous instructions, Zhang Han gritted his teeth and asked tentatively:

"Your Majesty, Zhang Han dares to ask you something!" "Hmm?"

Even the First Emperor was a little surprised when he heard Zhang Han ask the question.

You have to know that Zhang Han had been with the First Emperor for more than one or two years.

But the reason why the First Emperor trusted Zhang Han was because Zhang Han was "cautious in his words and actions"!
If you don't look for his words deliberately, he will be like a clay or wooden sculpture and will never say a single word.

But today, not only did he ask the question proactively, but he was also "daring"?
What is this going to do?
"speak."

"Zhang Han, may I ask Your Majesty, have you ever taken the elixir?"

As soon as this question was asked, the atmosphere in the entire hall seemed to be completely stagnant, as if the pressure from mountains and rivers had made it difficult for Zhang Han to even breathe.

After a long time, the First Emperor slowly spoke.

"Why do you ask that?"

The matter of elixir is related to immortality, and even more so to the destiny of the Qin Empire.

It can be said that Zhang Han's question just now was really "bold".

This is the most taboo issue in the world: the emperor’s health!

However, since Zhang Han has already spoken, there is no turning back.

"Your Majesty, Young Master Yuan once gave me some instructions."

"Your Majesty's health is related to the fate of the country. Even if you want to live forever, it is also a matter of national importance!"

"I won't discuss the truth or falsehood of the so-called elixir for now, but at least it is true that your majesty's physical foundation is damaged now!"

"Therefore, Gongzi Yuan asked me to persuade Your Majesty not to take the elixir for the time being, and instead practice some health-preserving and self-cultivation techniques with me to lay a good foundation!"

God knows how much effort Zhang Han put into these words!

He can be said to have used all his eloquence in his life.

But after saying this, the First Emperor did not respond at all.

There was neither rage nor questioning.

Just looking at Zhang Han silently!

If you were not there, you would never be able to imagine how tormented Zhang Han was at that time.

But Zhang Han, I don’t regret it!
After a long time, the First Emperor finally spoke again in a calm tone.

"I have not yet taken that elixir!"

After these words were spoken, even someone as experienced as Zhang Han couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Only then did he realize that his back was already wet with cold sweat!

fortunately!

fortunately!

Compared to the so-called immortal master Xu Fu, Zhang Han obviously believed more in Gongzi Yuan, who was tied to the Qin Dynasty.

Since Gongzi Yuan is worried, it would definitely be a good idea not to eat first.

Now there is still a chance to remedy and verify everything, that's good!
However, the First Emperor on the opposite side looked at Zhang Han's appearance, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said in a deep voice.

"Master Xu Fu once said that the Immortal Emperor Pill requires a lot of rare and precious medicinal materials."

"Since Yuan'er has doubts about the elixir, let Master Xu Fu bring my order to have a meeting with him."

"Zhang Han, please arrange for the Black Dragon Guards to escort us!"

His Majesty the First Emperor spoke lightly and then waved his hand.

"promise!"

Zhang Han understood, bowed, and left the hall.

But when Zhang Han left the hall, he was suddenly stunned, and then a huge fear swept through his body!

Your Majesty just said that Gongzi Yuan had doubts about the elixir...

Doesn't this sentence mean that His Majesty has seen through what I just said that I didn't fully convey to Ying Yuan? ! ! !

And the reason why Your Majesty did not pursue the matter was simply because of Prince Yuan's consideration?
Thinking of this, even Zhang Han, a tough guy who had never been afraid of swords and fire, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

How dangerous!
