Ye Yuan doesn't want to meddle in other people's business, but reality often doesn't go as people want.
Just because he doesn't look for trouble doesn't mean that trouble won't come to him.
No, before he even stepped into his house, trouble came to him on his own.
"Sir, you are finally back."
Chang Fu quickly ran to Ye Yuan's side, talking non-stop.
"Sir, His Majesty wants to summon you. Mr. Zhao is waiting in the lobby."
Seeing that Ye Yuan had not moved yet, he became a little anxious and urged.
"My lord, we cannot keep your majesty waiting any longer."
Ye Yuan: "?!"
On the way to the palace, Ye Yuan said nothing and was full of confusion.
How did things come to this?
He obviously wanted to keep a low profile for a while, but the sudden summons from the First Emperor completely ruined his plan.
Just thinking about the envious and jealous looks in the eyes of many alchemists just now makes Ye Yuan feel a headache.
This also includes the three giants of the Alchemist Academy, Hou Sheng, Fang Sheng, and Shi Sheng.
Ye Yuan could imagine the friction in the future, and he couldn't help but feel cruel in his heart: If he offended someone, he would be kind enough to send him to a blissful life.
Not far in front of Ye Yuan, there was a gentle middle-aged man, with an imperceptible glint flashing from time to time in his calm eyes.
At first glance, he is not a simple character!
Of course, he is really not simple.
The middle-aged man was the extremely famous Zhao Gao. He was the official of the Zhongche Prefecture of the Qin Dynasty and a close minister of the First Emperor. He could be said to be extremely powerful.
Of course, he is still far from covering the sky with one hand and calling a deer a horse.
With Zhao Gao leading him, Ye Yuan had an unobstructed path and passed through the tightly guarded palace gates very easily.
At the same time, he also "saw" a large number of masters in the palace.
The aura of these people was too conspicuous, and the killing aura soaring into the sky could not be concealed at all.
Ye Yuan's heart moved: These are all soldiers in the army and masters of military strategists. Then... what about the Legalists?
Ye Yuan maximized his five senses, and his senses at full level were extremely sharp.
"There are only one or two Legalist masters in the imperial palace. Apart from Legalists and military strategists, there is no one else!"
Are all the schools of thought so unfavorable to Da Qin?
Do you have foresight, or do you want to be... the chess player behind the scenes!
Ye Yuan remained silent.
At this time, there was actually no strong person in the palace who could match his strength.
Da Qin... stands on the edge of the abyss!
However, Da Qin was a unified dynasty after all, and its military strategists were probably terrifyingly powerful.
Still can’t come to a conclusion easily!
Soon, Zhao Gao led Ye Yuan to the entrance of a magnificent palace.
Qin people like black, not only in their clothing, but also in the palace, there are a lot of black elements, including the black tiles of the palace.
There were two young men standing at the entrance of the palace. They looked at Zhao Gao and Ye Yuan who were slowly approaching, and the younger one among them said.
"Brother, my father has summoned the alchemist again!"
The young man who spoke is Hu Hai. If the historical development according to Ye Yuan's knowledge is followed, he will become the second emperor of Qin with the strong support of Zhao Gao.
It's a pity that he was arrogant and extravagant, and he didn't have enough political acumen, let alone prestige. In the end, he was completely ignored by Zhao Gao, and he ended up with an extremely tragic end.
However, this is a game world, with hundreds of thousands of players joining it, and the trajectory of historical development is destined to change beyond recognition.
But now Hu Hai is just a young man standing behind Fusu, looking ordinary and indifferent.
At least, that's what it seems on the surface.
Ye Yuan raised his head and glanced at this little guy, his eyes were melancholy, just like Fusu in front of him, as if the two of them were really united front.
What a...good acting!
If such a person can be well cultivated, he will be a qualified emperor.
Ye Yuan stopped looking at him and turned to Fusu.
What a handsome young man!
Fusu is worthy of being a prince cultivated by Confucianism. It is not known what he is like on the inside, but his appearance does reflect the elegance of Confucianism to the fullest.
If he is really what he looks like, he is destined to not be a qualified emperor. For example, Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was too idealistic.
Zhao Gao took two steps quickly, bowed and saluted.
"Meet Mr. Fusu and Mr. Hu Hai."
Ye Yuan followed closely behind, symbolically arching his hands.
Although they were both princes, Fusu and Hu Hai did not dare to show off, and quickly returned the favor.
"I have met CRRC Fu Ling (teacher), who is this?"
Zhao Gao introduced.
"This is Guyu, the alchemist personally recruited by His Majesty..."
Before Zhao Gao could continue his introduction, he heard a deep voice calling from inside the hall.
"All come in!"
Is this the First Emperor?
Although the voice is full of domineering, it can't hide the faint weakness in the words!
Ye Yuan was full of doubts, but he kept his expression and followed Zhao Gaodao silently.
"yes."
Afterwards, a group of five people walked into the main hall one by one, pointed at the First Emperor on the throne, raised their hands and saluted.
"See Your Majesty."
"Well, no gifts."
This time, Ye Yuan saw with his own eyes the Qin Shihuang of this world. He was the vassal king who created the first unified dynasty and the first emperor in history.
The title of emperor originated from him.
Not only that, he achieved the same writing in books, the same track in cars, unified weights and measures, and was worthy of the name of one emperor through the ages.
He naturally has an arrogant and domineering air about him, looking down upon everything.
But... people have no choice but to reach middle age!
The First Emperor, who had lived in the palace for a long time and had many things to do every day. Because he was busy all day long and lacked exercise, he still had the pot belly unique to middle-aged people, and his face also had a false "rich" look... puffy!
Ye Yuan was even more surprised to find that this great emperor did not have any cultivation skills.
The First Emperor was actually just a "mere" mortal.
It is truly a miracle that a mortal can accomplish so many great deeds!
However, as a mortal, no matter how many great achievements you make, you cannot defy the laws of nature.
His body will naturally weaken with age. Now, although he is about the same age as Zhao Gao, he looks much older than Zhao Gao!
No wonder he is eager to find the elixir of life.
The First Emperor waved his hand to stop Fusu who was about to speak.
In fact, even if the eldest son didn't say it, he knew what he wanted to say.
Isn't it just to dissuade myself from getting close to alchemists and from pursuing the illusory elixir of life?
However, the eldest son, as a Confucian monk, did not understand the troubles that his father, a mortal, only had.
"Is there really no elixir of life in the world?"
Upon hearing this question, everyone present looked surprisingly unanimous.
Fusu had a determined look on his face, and all his thoughts were written on his face: No!
Zhao Gao also looked firm, but the answer was: Yes!
Hu Hai first looked at Fusu's face, then at Zhao Gao, and finally became "firm": Yes!
It's just that his expression was not visible to Fusu next to him.
Ye Yuan also firmly believed: Yes!
Even if it doesn’t exist in this world, it definitely exists in other worlds!
