Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me for corruption

Chapter 78 The bad old man is really bad!

"Here."

Gongsunye agreed and took his two young grandchildren to one side to stand there, leaving the main court in the courtyard to everyone. It seemed that he had put himself in the position of an eunuch.

Seeing that he was stubborn, Qin Mo said with some worry: "If you really dare to harm your grandson as a eunuch, I will definitely not tolerate you. Those cruel and ruthless people are not worthy of showing off their loyalty!"

"

Gongsun Ye clasped his hands solemnly: "What the Lord said is true, and I deeply believe it."

Qin Mo nodded with satisfaction and invited Ying Zheng's family of three to sit down.

Ying Zheng waved his hand, telling him not to be polite. He looked at the half-bowl of soup in Yu Ji's hand and said, "I heard from the waiter that I love you because you are afraid of medical treatment and don't want to take the soup, so I came here."

"Just now I was outside and saw that the eunuchs had already tested the medicine for Aiqing. Judging from his appearance, there is nothing unusual about it. Aiqing should also take it so that he can recover as soon as possible."

Qin Mo was speechless: "..."

There's no way to escape this, right?

Everyone would advise me to take a few sips!

Ying Zheng saw that he was resisting, so he took out a small jade bottle that he kept close to his body, opened the stopper and let Qin Mo look at the contents, and said: "If you don't want to take the bitter decoction, I have a few golden elixirs here.

Give it to your beloved!"

After saying that, he put the jade bottle directly into Qin Mo's hand, but he looked like he was reluctant to give up his love.

But when Qin Mo looked at the small metallic pill in the bottle, his face turned dark. He looked at Xia Wuji coldly and said, "Are you refining this pill for His Majesty?"

In this era, there is no separation between elixirs and medicines. There is no clear boundary between alchemists who refine elixirs and seek immortality, and doctors who treat illnesses and injuries.

Even, they are the same group of people, but they only have different ideals and pursuits!

"I really disdain the idea of ​​refining elixirs to seek immortality. How can you refine elixirs?"

"Even the decoction in the hand of the visitor Yu actually contains no lead or mercury. Prime Minister Qin is overly worried."

Xia Wuji shook his head flatly in denial and explained.

Qin Mo nodded and believed, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's better if you don't refine it, otherwise you won't lose your head and bring trouble to your relatives."

All joking aside, Xia Wuqie led the medical camp during the war and accompanied him on more than one expedition. Qin Mo also attached great importance to the medical camp and often gave advice on some half-baked medical theories of later generations.

Xia Wuqie was more or less influenced by it. In terms of practicing medicine and medicine, he was out of touch with the limitations of the times and seemed to be in his own way.

Moreover, he is now the chief medical master of Daqin Academy and often goes to give lectures.

If he believed in those messy things, Qin Mo would not allow him to teach, otherwise he might teach a group of great immortals!

However, I am afraid that if Ying Zheng gave the order and Xia Wuji was ordered to refine it, then the grass would be finished...

Because, Qin Mo is going to attack the alchemist!

"Both of you, my dear friends, don't believe in the theory of making elixirs to seek immortality?"

Seeing the two of them acting like this, Ying Zheng couldn't help frowning and asked hesitantly.

Qin Mo and Xia Wuji both shook their heads: "If you don't believe it, your Majesty had better not take the golden elixir."

Ying Zheng was noncommittal: "I have taken it, and I feel very refreshed after taking it. Even if I cannot live forever, I think it can strengthen my body."

Qin Mo said helplessly: "Your Majesty, if you want to strengthen your body, there are thousands of medicines in the world that can do it, so why take golden elixirs."

"It should be noted that this golden elixir has a strange color. There must be..."

Ying Zheng waved his hand to interrupt him, took the medicine bowl from Yu Ji's hand, handed it to him and said: "Since I also know that taking medicine can strengthen the body, I took this bowl of medicine first, and then came to advise me."

Qin Mo couldn't laugh or cry, knowing that he couldn't escape, so he gritted his teeth and took the soup bowl, closed his eyes and drank it all in one gulp.

Then, his facial features instantly shrank into a ball, and he couldn't help but smacked his lips and complained: "Lao Xia, what on earth did you put in it?"

Xia Wuqi stroked his goatee and said quietly: "Add the urine of an under-month-old baby. It tastes salty and is cold in nature. It can reduce fire and cool the blood. It can cure the dry and depressed heart fire of Prime Minister Qin."

"Ugh~"

Qin Mo's face turned green and he retched again and again.

Gongsun Ye, who had drunk half a bowl earlier, also had a lump in his throat.

But Ying Zheng, Fu Su Yuanman, as well as Yu Ji and Na Tingwei's subordinate officials couldn't hold it in any longer, and they burst out laughing in a very shameless manner: "Pfft, hahaha..."

Qin Mo didn't have time to pay attention to them. He retched and picked up the kettle on the coffee table, poured half of the kettle into his mouth to rinse his mouth, and handed the remaining half to Gongsun Ye.

After they rinsed their mouths, they stuffed candied fruit into their mouths, which made them feel better!

"That old man is really bad...where are you going?"

Qin Mo was chewing candied fruit and wanted to settle accounts with Xia Wuji, but when he turned around, he realized that there was no trace of Xia Wuji behind him.

On the contrary, outside the courtyard gate, the back of Old Man Xia could be vaguely seen, walking quickly. The official of the Tingwei Mansion was afraid that he would trip and break the old bones, so he still stretched out his hands to support him.

"I ran away very fast. I'll come back to settle the score with you."

Qin Mo looked away angrily, turned to Ying Zheng and bowed his hands: "Your Majesty, I have taken the medicine, and Your Majesty should accept your advice. Do not take any more golden elixirs in the future."

Ying Zheng suppressed a smile and nodded: "I love you and you are willing to drink urine, so why don't I accept your advice?"

As soon as these words came out, Fu Su, Yuan Man and Yu Ji laughed again.

Even Gongsun Ye, who also drank urine, couldn't help laughing. He probably didn't expect that the first emperor, who was so talented and resourceful, could have such a bad taste in private.

Qin Mo said with a stern face: "Your Majesty, please don't worry about it. Taking too much golden elixir will shorten your lifespan."

"If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can order the alchemist who donated the golden elixir to refine it, and then order him to submit to it every day. It won't take more than ten months to see how powerful it is!"

When Ying Zheng heard that he was so sure, he put away his joking expression and muttered: "Golden elixir is made from the essence of all things in the world, and it must be taken according to the season."

"The alchemist also said that taking it too frequently is harmful and useless. Maybe I am biased!"

Qin Mo was speechless: "..."

How can you still justify yourself?

Sure enough, it is reasonable to exist, and it makes sense for some things to be popular and still have people believe in them for hundreds of thousands of years!

Qin Mo was silent for a moment, then tried to say: "Maybe we can find some poultry and small animals, feed them golden elixirs, and see if there are any differences?"

Ying Zheng laughed and shook his head: "Humans are the spirit of all things, how can they be compared with poultry and small animals? Even if there are differences in taking the golden elixir, it is within common sense."

Qin Mo lost his temper completely and smacked his lips in silence for a long time.

It has to be said that the logic developed by the alchemist is really impeccable, and it is very easy to use whether you are deceiving yourself or others.

Coupled with the golden elixir mixed with many precious medicinal materials, any refreshing effect can be justified, hypnotizing yourself or others, and persevering in seeking the way to immortality...

When Qin Mo thought about this, his eyes lit up and he said: "Your Majesty, please order someone to check whether those alchemists who often take golden elixirs have bloodshot eyes and hair and beards falling off."

"If you take it for a long time, you will not be afraid of cold or heat, just like an immortal!"

When Ying Zheng heard this, he couldn't help being slightly stunned and hesitated: "Has Aiqing met Lu Sheng?"

Qin Mo was confused, but before he could ask who Lu Sheng was, Fusu on the side explained: "Lu Sheng is a local scholar in Yan. In his early years, he went to Xianyang to spread the theory of making alchemy and seeking immortality. He was promoted by the nobles and they were all willing to donate generously to help.

Its alchemy."

"I don't know how old he is. He has white hair and a childish face with eyes like blood. He is not afraid of cold or heat. No matter it is the twelfth lunar month of winter or the scorching heat of summer, he always wears plain white robes. He really looks like an immortal!"

Qin Mo suddenly nodded, clasped his hands to Ying Zheng and said in a deep voice: "I have never seen any stove burning. I only know that it is deeply poisoned. The five senses have been eroded by the poison, and I can no longer feel the cold or heat."

"Your Majesty can order people to go to Yandi to find out his true age, and then send people to check his mouth and tongue to see if he has acne!"

Ying Zheng was numb and speechless, unable to utter any more words to refute.

Because now he often suffers from acne in his mouth, and his breath smells extremely bad.

Xia Wuji and other doctors diagnosed and treated him, but could not find the cause. They could only prescribe him some decoctions to regulate the spleen and stomach and calm down the deficiency fire.

Maybe he had also drank the boy's urine medicinal soup that Qin Mo drank, but he just didn't know it...

This is not the point. The point is that he had already checked Lu Sheng's background. In fact, he was only forty years old, not even older than him.

But at that time, who would have thought that the abnormality on Lu Sheng's body was due to poisoning?

Ying Zheng thought that guy had acquired the body of a semi-immortal, and he was extremely envious of him.

After all, her hair is as white as frost, her eyes are as bloody as blood, and she is not afraid of cold or heat. It looks really cool.

But when I think about poisoning at this time, it is extremely scary!

A guy younger than me had taken poison and his hair turned completely white, his eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't know whether it was hot or cold.

What’s so special is that only a dying old man doesn’t know how to be hot or cold!

The more Ying Zheng thought about it, the more he became nauseous. Thinking about how many poisons he had taken in the past, he felt even more nauseated.

More disgusting than Qin Mo drinking the boy's urine medicinal soup!

Well, I may have also drank the boy's urine medicinal soup, which made it even more disgusting...

"Gudu~"

Ying Zheng swallowed his saliva, suppressed the nausea in his chest and abdomen, and asked: "Ai Qing, can the poison of this golden elixir be cured?"

"Your Majesty had better call the doctor."

Qin Mo helplessly spread his hands, but turned around and said: "However, judging from your majesty's complexion, it seems that the poisoning is not too deep. I will no longer take the golden elixir. Over time, the body will slowly eliminate the erysipelas."

"In addition, you can also drink some milk every day, which may have the effect of relieving erysipelas!"

Ying Zheng nodded, stopped chatting with him, drove out of the yard, and went back to find milk to drink.

Fu Su and Yuan Man also hurriedly followed up with concern. No matter how bad I am, I am still me. It would not be beautiful to die.

Qin Mo shouted from behind: "Your Majesty needs to take action early!"

"All power is given to Aiqing, and Aiqing can do whatever she wants."

"Here!"

Ying Zheng said the next sentence without looking back. The people were already drifting away. Qin Mo clasped his hands and responded loudly.

Then, he turned to Yu Ji and said: "Take my seal, call the post officials in the county, and send an order to Xianyang. All the alchemists in the world who advocate refining elixirs and seeking immortality will be arrested and reformed in the academy."

Yu Ji asked in confusion: "Reform what?"

"They are all talented people who are literate and proficient in pharmacology. As long as they give up their delusions of seeking immortality and learn some orthodox medical theories, they will be rare good doctors."

"After the transformation is complete, if you go to treat people's diseases, it will be regarded as hard labor."

"We in Da Qin have too many people, but we always feel that there are too few doctors!"

Qin Mo laughed happily.

…

…

The next day, Yingzheng's patrol officers set off again to the counties and townships under the county's jurisdiction to publicly try the county and township officials who had committed crimes.

Zulong is still the same Zulong, and national affairs always come first!

As for Qin Mo, Yingzheng ordered him to stay in Wancheng and temporarily command the Nanyang County soldiers.

On the one hand, Nanyang County soldiers, generals and county officials were almost all handled at once. It took time to be re-selected or transferred elsewhere, and there had to be an official who could control the situation.

On the other hand, Ying Zheng was also afraid that Qin Mo, who was weak and could not bear the bumps on the road, would regret it if there were any shortcomings.

Qin Mo happily accepted the order, and after sending Ying Zheng away, he signed an order to temporarily place Wancheng and nearby villages and towns under military control in accordance with the rules for capturing cities in previous battles.

Fortunately, the Nanyang County soldiers were also his old subordinates, and everything was in order, so Qin Mo didn't need to worry too much.

Therefore, after Qin Mo signed the order, he decisively returned to Houya to recuperate and designed a left foot prosthesis for Gongsun Ye.

"My lord should get more rest, why bother with me?"

Gongsunye held the prosthetic limb design drawing drawn by Qin Mo, his cloudy eyes turned red.

Qin Mo stretched, lay down on the recliner, waved his hand and said: "We are a family from now on, don't be so pretentious."

"Go find the craftsmen in the city to help you build it. It's best to supervise it yourself and try it out at any time to avoid it not being suitable for use."

"Stay the child, Yu Ji and I will help you look after it."

"Here!"

Gongsun Ye bowed profusely, handed his grandchildren to Yu Ji, and left with a cane.

Qin Mo fell asleep, and Yu Ji peeled off the peanuts just harvested this year, fed them to the two children, and stuffed one into Qin Mo's mouth from time to time.

The two children, one named Gongsun Cheng and the other Gongsun Li, are very popular.

Yu Ji especially liked it. She slept with her arms in her arms last night and even asked the two children to call her mother.

When a woman from a commoner's family reaches Yu Ji's age, her children are indeed old enough to call her mother.

Yu Ji acted like this, also hinting to Qin Mo that it was time to add someone else!

It is unclear whether Qin Mo can understand it.

"It seems that the gentleman has not understood..."

Yu Ji muttered and stuffed a few peanuts into Qin Mo's mouth.

But Qin Mo was so salty that he didn't even open his eyes. He just chewed it as if he was dreaming and woke up, and made an unpleasant nasal noise to warn her not to mess around.

Yu Ji pursed her red lips and was about to say something when a person suddenly walked in from outside the hospital. When she took a closer look, she turned out to be the eldest princess Yuan Man!

When Ying Zheng went out to inspect the counties and villages, he did not take this eldest daughter with him, but asked her to stay, saying that she would take care of Qin Mo.

It’s obvious that they are still trying to bring the two of them together!

Even though Yu Ji was not angry, she did not dare to neglect her. She quickly got up to greet him.

Yuan Man pressed her jade hand and pointed at Qin Mo on the recliner, indicating that she didn't need to be polite so as not to disturb Qin Mo's rest.

Yu Ji bowed silently and went back to the house to make tea.

Yuan Man was also honest and polite. He occupied Yu Ji's seat, peeled peanuts and fed them to the two children.

The two children each ate one. When they saw that it was Qin Mo's turn, they obediently reminded Yuan Man and said in a sweet voice: "My lord, you will eat too."

"Look, Prime Minister Qin is asleep and won't eat...ah!"

Yuan Man nodded with a smile, peeled the peanut again, brought it to Qin Mo's mouth symbolically, and explained to the two children that people cannot eat food at the same time after sleeping.

But, midway through her words, Qin Mo suddenly opened his mouth, bit the peanut, and bit her finger as well, making her scream out in fright.

Qin Mo's body also reacted faster than his brain. After biting it, he realized that the voice in his ear was not Yu Ji. When he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The two people looked at each other, and the atmosphere was inexplicably awkward!
