Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 100 From today onwards, I will give up the golden elixir!

"Your Majesty, do you want to eat?" Zhao Gao's voice sounded in Shi Huang's ear.

"What's the result?" Shi Huang didn't answer, but looked at Zhao Gao and asked the birds and beasts about the results after taking the golden elixir.

"Your Majesty, they are still alive right now, but they are almost dying. It seems that they may not live long." Zhao Gao said after a moment of silence.

"Bring it here for me to have a look." The First Emperor said, and Zhao Gao brought the bird for testing medicine without any hesitation.

I saw that every bird was wilting. They were alive, but they had more air intake and less air output. It was estimated that most of them would not survive tomorrow.

"Call Xia Wuqi and come..."

Seeing this scene, Emperor Shi Huang already had a premonition in his heart, what Zhao Si said was reasonable, and of course the alchemists also had their own arguments.

But obviously, the first emperor killed many alchemists in the process of seeking immortality, and the alchemists disappointed the first emperor more than once, and even deceived the first emperor. Xia Wuqi also objected to the first emperor taking the golden pill. Now Zhao Si does not know his physical condition. The following is the specific symptoms after taking Jindan, it is obvious who is more trustworthy.

Zhao Gao bowed to accept the order, and when he stepped out of the palace gate, he sighed slightly~~
I don't know how many alchemists should die this time.

After waiting for a long time, Xia Wu entered the palace to have an audience.

"Let's take a look first." Shi Huang waved his hand to signal Xia Wuqiu that he didn't need to salute, and let Xia Wuqiu look at a row of dying birds.

"Your Majesty, this is..." Xia Wuqiu was puzzled, he is a human doctor, not a veterinarian, the Emperor Shi Huang couldn't have called him here to treat birds, could he?

"These birds were all fed with golden elixir, one grain per bird..." Zhao Gao explained from the side.

Xia Wuqiu squatted down to examine it carefully when he heard the words. As always, these birds will not survive tomorrow.

"Zhao Si said... the golden elixir is poisonous." The First Emperor said in a deep voice.

"Without knowing my physical condition, I accurately stated the crux of the problem after taking the golden elixir, compared them one by one, and there was no mistake. What do you think?" Shi Huang narrated what happened yesterday.

"This..." Xia Wu'er was in a state of surprise, he had always disapproved of Jindan as medicine, and repeatedly suggested that Emperor Shihuang stop using Jindan, and because of this, he refused to continue to provide medical services for Shi Huangdi when he was taking Jindan.

But... To be honest, Xia Wuqiu only dared to say that Emperor Shi Huang's body was not suitable for taking the golden elixir, but he didn't dare to rashly say that the golden elixir was poisonous.

In particular, Zhao Si accurately stated the symptoms, compared them one by one, without any mistakes, and was extremely accurate.

"This...Your Majesty, has Zhao Si ever checked His Majesty's pulse?" Xia Wuqie asked, for Zhao Si, Xia Wuqie had an impression, Xia Wuqie also participated in the kowtow to heaven and earth, it was that Rong Sheng A young man with a long history.

The First Emperor shook his head: "I never mentioned to him that I was unwell."

"Hiss, in that case, I'm afraid the golden elixir is really poisonous." Xia Wuqie said.

"How do you know it?" Shi Huang asked again.

"Although traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to seeing, hearing, and inquiring, your majesty's disease is deep in the heart. Simply looking at it with the eyes, it is difficult for veteran officials to distinguish, let alone accurately describe the symptoms. Zhao Shilang can see Jin Dan and accurately describe the symptoms. On the premise of knowing that the golden elixir is poisonous... maybe, Zhao Shilang has read the corresponding record in the book?" Xia Wuqie answered.

The first emperor's face didn't change when he heard the sound...

The reason is indeed the same. At present, most of the books in the world are bamboo slips, and most of them are isolated or incomplete. No one dares to say where Zhao Si has seen the corresponding introduction, but Xia Wuqie's deduction is not a problem.

"If the golden elixir is poisonous, how deeply have I been poisoned?" Shi Huang asked.

"Please take your majesty's pulse."

The First Emperor silently stretched out his hand.

Xia Wuqi rested his fingers on the pulse of the First Emperor, and remained silent for a long time.

In fact, if you boldly affirm that the golden elixir is poisonous, the complex physical symptoms of the first emperor can be easily explained, and Xia Wuqie's medical experience is on the contrary.

It's just that if this assumption is followed, then what is in the first emperor's body is not fire poison, but genuine toxin.

That's a big problem...

Xia Wu and analyzed the pulse condition based on the assumption that the first emperor's body had accumulated toxins, and got rid of the rest of the miscellaneous qi. Xia Wu, who was originally optimistic about the first emperor's physical condition, instantly became gloomy.

Because I have not been sure that the golden elixir is poisonous, so it is common sense that the toxins accumulated in the body of the first emperor were regarded as internal poison by Xia Wu, and the accumulation of internal poison can be cured through conditioning. Although the physical condition of the first emperor is relatively poor, according to Xia Wu According to my experience, as long as the golden pill is stopped, recuperated well, and government affairs are put aside, it should not be a big problem to prolong life for ten years.

But what if it's not an endotoxin, but an actual toxin?

Xia Wu and combined with the situation of birds and beasts, extrapolated himself and others, and came to a not-so-good conclusion.

The first emperor has been poisoned to the marrow...

And the most terrible thing is to target the poison of the golden elixir. Xia Wuqiu doesn't know what to do to solve it. At present, mainstream doctors agree that the golden elixir is medicine and not poison.

Xia Wuqiu's complexion was getting worse and worse. From this point of view, Shi Huangdi was already a strong outsider, and no one could tell when the toxin would erupt.

Maybe a year?half a year?It may also be tomorrow, which is not alarmist.

Not treating the poison of the golden elixir as a real toxin is also the truth that the first emperor died young under the condition of having Xia Wu and monitoring his physical condition. These days, alchemists are considered doctors recognized by the mainstream, and the social judgment is serious Affects medical judgment.

The first emperor looked at Xia Wuqie's complexion, and a bad premonition slowly rose in his heart.

Xia Wuqiu realized the seriousness of the problem, this is not at all empty and unreplenishable, this is not a medicine for tigers and wolves at all, it is poison, and the situation of the first emperor is clearly drinking poison to quench thirst.

But it seems a bit late to discover all this?The situation has reached the point where Xia is helpless and completely helpless.

Xia Wuju continued to diagnose the pulse in order to draw a final conclusion.

The same thoughts are running in my mind, Xia Wuqi's relationship with Shi Huangdi is not just a simple boss-employee relationship, Xia Wuqi, as the entourage of Shi Huangdi from Zhao State to Qin, Shi Huangdi's savior when Jing Ke assassinated Qin Qin, is also Shi Huangdi It's just that Xia Wujue has painstaking medical skills and no interest in government affairs, otherwise he would have already been a dignified person in front of him.
Although Xia Wuqiu's mind was full of thoughts, his basic literacy was not bad after all, and he quickly came to the final conclusion, and subconsciously compared it with the results of the last pulse diagnosis, and correspondingly re-analyzed the pulse conditions of the previous pulse diagnosis.

Xia Wu was surprised to find that Emperor Shihuang had actually been poisoned to the bone marrow a long time ago... It is really lucky to be able to live until now without breaking out...

How long has the first emperor been taking medicine?It's been ten years!
The human body metabolizes heavy metals at an extremely slow rate, and many heavy metals are likely to stay in the human body for a lifetime. With ancient medical conditions, it is impossible to help metabolize heavy metals in the body.

In other words, the first emperor's illness was terminally ill. In ancient times, it was a terminal illness, and when this terminal illness broke out completely, it was the time of death. The toxin in the first emperor's body was so large that it exploded enough for the first emperor to die suddenly several times.

Hmm... wait... Xia Wuqiu suddenly discovered a strange point.

This time, Emperor Shi Huang's overall pulse was actually better than before?
Although it is very small, but...there is a real improvement, which makes Xia Wuju see hope. In this way, as long as the dosage is reduced or even stopped, the toxin will dissolve by itself?
In this way, what I need to do is not to help Shi Huang detoxify, but to help Shi Huang avoid toxin outbreaks as much as possible?Let the body detoxify itself?
As long as it is digested to a certain extent, even if the toxin erupts, it will be within the control range...

Xia Wuqiu is indeed a famous doctor in the world, and he grasped the clue just by comparing the pulse conditions, but in fact, this is just Xia Wuqiu's illusion.

In fact, even if it is disabled, a normal person will not be able to metabolize much heavy metals in a lifetime, and the human body metabolizes heavy metals too slowly.

The first emperor's poison reduction was rooted in the effectiveness of Zhao Si's halo of uncut jade.

However, looking at it this way, there is actually no problem with Xia Wuqiu's problem-solving thinking, to avoid the sudden outbreak of toxins and maintain the stability of the body. As long as the toxins continue to decrease through the influence of the halo of raw jade, the safety hazards of Emperor Shihuang's body will eventually be eliminated.

"Your Majesty, there are both good and bad." Xia Wujue spoke in deliberation.

"Say!"

"The good thing is that your majesty's body is better than before. The bad thing is that the golden core is indeed poisonous. Your majesty's body may have been poisoned into the bone marrow and blood, and silted up into mud." Xia Wuqie said.

"I still have a few years..." Shihuang said directly.

"Don't prevaricate to me, I won't blame you." Emperor Shihuang looked at Xia Wuqiu with burning eyes, and calmly accepted the fact.

In fact, the body has been in a limit state for a long time, how could the first emperor himself have no premonition?It was precisely because of a premonition that Emperor Shi Huang thought about longevity.

"I...don't dare to say..." Xia Wuqie sighed suddenly.

"Your Majesty's body has accumulated too much toxin. I'm... guilty and failed to discover it in time..." Xia Wuju bowed down to plead guilty, but this is the way it is in this era. It is a part of medicine, how can it be possible to treat it completely differently?
Even Xia Wuqiu himself agrees with the medical method of praying to the mountains and rivers to offer sacrifices to the heaven and the earth...and thinks it is useful.

"Is there a way?" Shi Huang continued to ask.

"Your Majesty's body has too much toxin accumulation. Once it occurs, it will kill people instantly. I can only try my best. If it doesn't work, I am willing to apologize with death." Xia Wuqian answered seriously, his gray beard trembling slightly.

"What should I do?" the First Emperor asked.

"Get rid of the golden elixir! The daily diet, except for the minister's eye-catching diet, can no longer be used as other food. In addition, your majesty can no longer be so troublesome..." Xia Wuqi said.

"Okay, from today onwards, I will give up the golden elixir, and I will take care of my daily diet." Emperor Shi Huang naturally ignored the last thing.

He can agree to everything except the last one.

It is impossible for him to do it without worrying about it. Now everything in Daqin is waiting for him to deal with. The empire needs him to take charge of the direction of progress. He needs to do all these things, and it is impossible for him to hand them over to others?
When he was a child, Zhao Guo lived as a hostage and depended on his mother for life. If he was not careful, he would be in danger of death.

After returning to the country, he ascended the throne, and his most trusted mother made peace with Lai Ai, Lu Buwei took control of the power, and the dependent mother even put herself to death for Lai Ai and the two wild species.

The sentence of his brother Chengqiao, whom he had high hopes for, was sentenced to chaos.

The growth experience and personality of the first emperor determined that he would use all means to monopolize power, and it was absolutely impossible to completely trust a person.

Even his loyal minister Meng Yi!

The First Emperor never, nor would he ever trust anyone completely.

Fengxinsuo love belongs to...

　Tips: Xia Wuqi's apology with death is not a military order, but the self-blame and sorrow of a close veteran. If it can't be saved, he really intends to apology with death.
