Chapter four hundred and eighty fifth fairy medicine prescription
But in fact, the plan to build the Great Wall was more beneficial to Shen Bing, but Zhao Gao and others didn't know it.
If Shen Bing really had anti-Qin intentions, then building the Great Wall would indeed be detrimental to Shen Bing.
The problem is that Shen Bing's intention is to assist Fusu.
You must know that Fusu is the eldest son of Ying Zheng, and of course he is the heir of Da Qin. Due to his influence from Confucianism, his kindness and kindness have a high reputation among the military and civilians. Many people even hope that Ying Zheng can die early. Fusu succeeded to the throne.
In addition, Shen Bing's popularity among the Qin Nationalist Army is at its peak. How can the combination of him and Fusu be stopped by the Great Wall?
At that time, Shen Bing and Fusu will only need to lead their troops and shout outside the city:
"I am Shen Bing, the general of the Qin State. I protect the young master Fu Su when he returns to the country and takes the throne. Anyone who stands in my way will be killed without mercy!"
Then the soldiers guarding the Great Wall opened the city gates and even defected to join Shen Bing's team.
As for Zhao Gao and Li Si...
What Zhao Gao can do is falsely pass on the imperial edict.
What Li Si can do is suppress all officials.
Hu Hai, whom they support, is still underage and has no knowledge or skills in the palace. He has no prestige, no ability, no ability...
The combination of these three is certainly incomparable to Shen Bing and Fusu.
What Shen Bing has to do is to protect Fusu from losing.
Otherwise, if Fusu commits suicide because of an imperial decree like history, then Shen Bing will really become a rebel and be blocked from the Great Wall.
But these are still things that happened very far in the future. After all, Ying Zheng was only forty years old at this time.
If there is anything that worries Shen Bing, it is that Ying Zheng faintly revealed to Shen Bing that he was practicing elixir.
"Recently, several warlocks are making elixirs for me. I wonder what the general thinks?"
Shen Bing didn't know how to answer.
Although he knew that immortality was impossible, Ying Zheng was obsessed with it as if he was possessed by a demon.
If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine. Shen Bing explained it to him in detail, such as using dialectics or materialism to brainwash his brain, or using assumptions to make him understand that if he could live forever, he would be hundreds of years old. Life goes on like this.
But Ying Zheng is no ordinary person. He holds the power of life and death and is moody.
At this time, "immortality" is a dream and a beautiful utopia for Ying Zheng.
If Shen Bing said that "immortality" does not exist... the result would be to destroy Ying Zheng's dream. If Ying Zheng becomes angry, Shen Bing may lose his life.
So Shen Bing thought for a while and could only give a conservative answer:
"Return to the Emperor."
"Although it is good to make elixirs, but...if those warlocks are just charlatans, claiming that those elixirs can lead to immortality, it would be better for the emperor not to take them!"
After hearing these words, Ying Zheng's heart beat faster and he thought to himself:
"He is indeed an immortal. I didn't say the word 'immortal', but he guessed it right."
"And Shen Bing also said that although the 'immortal medicine' is good, does this mean that there is indeed an 'immortal medicine'?"
Thinking about it, Ying Zheng waved away the servants, and then lowered his voice and asked:
"It is said that the general also knows some recipes for making 'immortal medicine'?"
"I don't know if it is or not?"
Shen Bing quickly denied:
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not the case."
"This subordinate is just a martial artist who has some knowledge of the art of war. He doesn't know how to make elixirs!"
Ying Zheng's face was stern, he took out a card from his sleeve and put it in front of Shen Bing and asked:
"General, is this the recipe you wrote?"
Shen Bing took it and took a look, and couldn't help but secretly complain.
That was indeed the recipe written by Shen Bing, and it was written by his own hand, but it was a gunpowder formula.
I was about to explain, but then I thought that gunpowder was invented for refining elixirs, and of course it was very similar to refining elixirs... So I jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it out.
But it’s impossible not to explain. The person in front of you is the emperor. If you don’t explain clearly, wouldn’t it be a crime of deceiving the emperor?
After thinking about it, Shen Bing had no choice but to follow Ying Zheng's words and said:
"Your Majesty, it's not that my subordinates intentionally concealed it, but this recipe is only suitable for battlefield use and is not suitable for consumption."
"That's why my subordinate said so."
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up again, but this time it was more exciting than when he heard the sweaty horse:
"So, the general also knows about the 'elixir'?"
Shen Bing had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer:
"Back to the emperor, I can only say that I have a brief understanding of it, but I am not yet accomplished."
"If I can get the prescription one day, I will definitely submit it to you!"
Ying Zheng laughed happily:
"well!"
"The general is indeed my great Qin Dongliang. I saw you right!"
Then the conversation changed and he asked again:
"I wonder how far the general has learned?"
Shen Bing was stunned:
"this……"
After hesitating for a while, I could only continue writing:
"Although Shen Bing failed to learn the prescriptions, he could see which prescriptions were wrong!"
Ying Zheng couldn't help but be overjoyed. He immediately took out a few prescriptions and handed them to Shen Bing, saying:
"General, take a look at these prescriptions and see if there is anything wrong with them?"
Shen Bing took the prescription and compared it. Then he looked at Ying Zheng's face and asked carefully:
"Has the Emperor ever taken the elixir made from this prescription?"
Ying Zheng nodded and said:
"I did take a few pills!"
Shen Bing secretly thought that it might not be as simple as just a few pills, otherwise his face wouldn't be so ugly.
It was said before that Ying Zheng was busy with all kinds of things, but now it seems that it has something to do with this magical medicine...
Ying Zheng saw that Shen Bing's expression was wrong, so he asked again:
"General, please tell me, what's wrong?"
Shen Bing replied:
"General, have you been suffering from dizziness, headache, dreaminess, and heart palpitations recently?"
Ying Zheng was surprised:
"How did the general know?"
Shen Bing pointed to the "cinnabar" in the alchemy recipe and said:
"As my subordinate said, although I don't know the prescriptions for elixirs, I know which prescriptions are wrong."
"This cinnabar contains a substance called mercury sulfide, which will be converted into sulfur and mercury as long as it is heated."
"But mercury is a highly toxic substance. It can range from dizziness, headache, dreaminess, and heart palpitations to severe symptoms..."
I'm afraid Ying Zheng would be so shocked by these words that he would stare wide-eyed and ask:
"What's more important?"
Shen Bing replied:
"If it's more serious, you'll die if you don't treat it, Your Majesty!"
“That’s why you must never take this elixir!”
Ying Zheng made a "bang" sound and was so angry that he slapped the desk and raised his eyebrows:
"The warlock is so brave, but he secretly wants to kill me!"
"The imperial doctor said it was caused by fatigue, but he didn't expect it to be caused by the poison of the elixir!"
"If the general hadn't reminded me today... I would have died at the hands of these warlocks!"
Then he quickly walked down and helped Shen Bing up personally, saying:
"I love you, no courtesy. Thank you for my love on this trip, otherwise I don't know how long I would have been deceived by these traitors."
"With your love helping me, I can rest assured."
"If there is any recipe in the future, I will let Aiqing take a look at it first!"
Shen Bing was speechless for a moment. Does this mean that he will become an alchemist in the future?
But this was good, as it would prevent Ying Zheng from being killed early, and he and Fusu were not ready yet.
So Shen Bing cupped his hands and replied:
"This is my duty, and I will do my best until I die!"
