Chapter 187 Extending Life!
“Mr. Tang, I was just about to take a good afternoon nap, Mr. Tang’s arrival is very timely.”
Hearing Ying Zheng's gritted teeth, Tang Yu stared at Ying Zheng with wide eyes, puzzled.
If you're not a buddy, why the hell are you making me run around and work for you every day?
Claimed to be the first diligent and benevolent ruler in history, Qin Shi Huang, who spends his days reviewing memorials and doing this and that, you damn emperor, you're sleeping in late, don't you feel any remorse?
Although he didn't speak at the moment, his wide eyes and surprised expression still told his feelings.
Ying Zheng looked somewhat guilty, knowing that what he was doing was indeed not very ethical.
After all, Mr. Tang has already done enough.
As a result, I asked Mr. Tang to do more work at the beginning, but now Mr. Tang is busy from beginning to end, while I am slacking off every day. I am really not a good son.
After internally criticizing himself for three minutes, Ying Zheng forced a somewhat embarrassed expression onto his face.
"Mr. Tang misunderstood. I didn't say I wanted to sleep. I meant I wanted to review the memorials."
Seeing Tang Yu's somewhat speechless expression, Ying Zheng finally asked with a serious face, "Mr. Tang, may I ask what brings you here today?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yu remembered his purpose and stopped trying to be polite.
Instead, he said seriously, "Your Majesty, I have come here today because I have obtained information about the Mo family and their plans."
"Oh, I knew that with Mr. Tang's help, we could easily obtain the relevant information about the Mohist school."
"I wonder what Mr. Tang and the Mohists' attitude is toward the Qin state..."
Ying Zheng's expression at this moment showed a hint of eagerness. After all, he felt that so many years had passed, and the attitude of the Mohists towards the Qin state should have changed somewhat.
Moreover, there's the work I'm doing now, the peaceful and prosperous lives of the people, and the development of the country.
Anyone who isn't blind should be able to see that from the Mohist members.
And none of this could have been achieved without Ying Zheng.
Which of those things wasn't done by Qin Shi Huang himself?
After making those grand pronouncements, Ying Zheng secretly added a sentence to his mind.
"Of course, Mr. Tang also deserves credit."
However, he still looked forward to the opinions of the Mohists regarding him as the greatest emperor of all time.
These so-called Hundred Schools of Thought all served the Qin Dynasty, except for the Mohists, who stood out from the crowd and were always running around causing trouble.
Ying Zheng felt that he did not necessarily need to rule the Mohists by force, but if he could win over the hearts of the Hundred Schools of Thought, the only rebellion in the world, that would also be a great achievement.
Seeing Ying Zheng's slightly excited expression, Tang Yu patted him on the shoulder.
"Your Majesty, stop thinking about it. Let me tell you about the current situation of the Mo family."
"They are not far from our Xianyang city, but we can't find them there. It's really not the fault of our Qin soldiers."
"Because they were in the Qinling Mountains, and when I saw them..."
As Tang Yu began to narrate, Ying Zheng's mouth opened wider and wider until he could no longer contain it.
"So they've been hiding in the Qinling Mountains all these years?"
"And now they are starving, emaciated, malnourished, and their clothes are not even made of cloth, but are even made of animal skin."
"Summers are hot and humid, winters are cold and hungry, and you also have to be wary of wild beasts and venomous snakes."
Ying Zheng's voice cracked and he couldn't hold back his emotions as he spoke. He already knew the Mo family's attitude towards him, so there was no need to elaborate.
Because everything is superfluous.
If Ying Zheng were to be bullied to the point of living in such a place, and his life were to become increasingly miserable, no matter how much time passed, his hatred would never diminish in the slightest.
On the contrary, because his life was so miserable, Ying Zheng hated that person more with every extra day he lived.
As expected, as Tang Yu recounted the Mohist school's attitude towards him, Ying Zheng slapped his face in anguish.
"Snapped!"
He realized that perhaps Mr. Tang could subdue the Mo family.
But Ying Zheng himself would never have that chance in his lifetime.
He sighed and shook his head.
"Alas, it seems the Mohist school is destined to be out of my reach. But why are they doing this? What are they after?"
Tang Yu actually had an answer in his heart to Ying Zheng's words.
He knew what the Mohists were after; they were after a single belief.
What I'm after is perseverance and an ideal.
He knew that if the Mohists came out to submit to Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng's people would definitely treat them extremely well.
It will allow them to live and work in peace and contentment, and to enjoy a happy life.
However, their philosophy is universal love and non-aggression.
Ying Zheng's actions were indeed creating bloodshed.
Therefore, their resistance against Ying Zheng was understandable, and even though they paid a heavy price for it, they felt it was worthwhile.
In the end, Tang Yu did not pursue the topic of the Mohist school any further.
He simply said to Ying Zheng with a flourish, "Your Majesty, rest assured, leave this Mohist matter to me. I guarantee that I will bring the Mohist school back to Xianyang City intact in no time, and give Xiang Yu a big surprise."
Wow, what a pleasant surprise!
Hearing this, Ying Zheng felt a pang of heartache. Tang Yu had already told him about Xiao He joining Xiang Yu's forces.
By now, Xiang Yu's anti-Qin alliance had already begun.
He developed a core group of five members on his own: Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang, Tang Yu, Wang Li, and Xiao He.
Judging from the name alone, Tang Yu is a time traveler, which is also the most terrifying aspect.
But putting aside the time travelers, there are already four famous historical figures among them.
And each of them is an absolute talent in the modern era.
If viewed from this perspective, this anti-Qin alliance might actually have great potential.
They could even easily overthrow the Qin state.
However, what no one expected was that Xiang Yu was the only one in this anti-Qin alliance who truly wanted to rebel against the Qin state.
The rest of them are all traitors; you can't play with them.
If Ying Zheng were to come, he wouldn't even dare to imagine how much pain he would suffer.
After observing a three-second silence for Xiang Yu, Ying Zheng raised his eyes to look at Tang Yu.
"Since Mr. Tang did not come here for the sake of the Mohist school, then what brings you here today?"
Tang Yu looked at the new rewards the system had given him today, and then thought about the white snake he had killed before.
He said to His Majesty, "Your Majesty, I have a plan that can extend Your Majesty's lifespan by another 30 years on top of that."
After saying this, Tang Yu looked at Ying Zheng with unusual smugness, preparing to wait for Ying Zheng's reaction.
If it were anything else, Ying Zheng might not have been too affected, but immortality is a different story!
