Chapter 814 546: Stunned
"Damn, I didn't expect the place he wanted to go was the Qin Dynasty!"
"If you could really travel to that time, that would be incredible!"
"This point in time is way better than when Ice Blade was just sightseeing!"
"I'm so looking forward to it; I also want to see the coronation of the Emperor for the ages and his final moments."
"Do you think we can really go?"
"We should be able to go, God Xia said we can go to any time, any place."
Countless people awaited with anticipation, all wanting to witness the coronation ceremony of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the Emperor for the ages.
Next, Xia Liang Shen took a deep breath and extended his right hand again, pressing directly on the second red dot on the scroll.
Immediately, everyone felt a familiar wave come again, and the entire stadium began to shake.
However, having experienced it before, everyone wasn't too surprised by the change this time.
Time and space shifted.
In an instant, everyone felt the world in front of them suddenly brighten up, followed by the sound of a grand and loud horn around them.
Woo woo...
The horn made from ivory echoed over the palace in Xianyang City, and everyone quickly realized that they had arrived in 221 BC, the year Emperor Qin Shi Huang was officially crowned.
At this moment, everyone quickly looked down.
They saw that in the square in front of Weiyang Palace Hall, countless generals of the Qin Dynasty and civil and military officials were kneeling on the ground. Behind them were those wearing the attire of the six conquered kingdoms.
"We've been fighting for so many years; it's time to end it. From now on, this world is not just mine but everyone's. I hope everyone can work together to build our home well. Alright, that's all I'll say today. It's a day of great joy, and we must ensure that the people of the whole country are happy and well-fed and clothed."
After Emperor Qin Shi Huang finished speaking, he turned and walked into the palace, and Zhao Gao and other guards and servants followed closely behind.
The officials kneeling on the Xianyang Palace Square seemed accustomed to the situation. After Emperor Qin Shi Huang left, they also began to leave one after another.
High above, Old Cao and others witnessing the scene were all a bit dumbfounded.
In their imagination, the coronation of Emperor Qin Shi Huang should be one of the grandest scenes in history, at least with more elaborate ceremonies, and Emperor Qin Shi Huang should have said something to be remembered for all time.
But what surprised everyone was that Emperor Qin Shi Huang's words were very casual.
"Damn, this can't be happening, right? Did I just witness a fake coronation ceremony? How could the coronation of the Emperor for the ages be so casual?"
"Impressive! This is true majesty, as if unifying the six kingdoms was no big deal."
"Those officials from the six kingdoms below must still be in a state of shock, right? Haha."
Many historical archaeologists, after watching Emperor Qin Shi Huang's coronation ceremony, were also in disbelief, as if their senses had shattered.
Next, everyone felt the screen in front of them begin to shift, and the wheel of history continued to move forward, but always following the footsteps of Emperor Qin Shi Huang.
Because Old Cao had written about witnessing the life of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the scroll followed his steps.
At this moment, the scene had shifted to Shaqiu.
In Shaqiu Palace, Emperor Qin Shi Huang was now old and infirm, plagued with diseases and constantly coughing. He lay on a dragon chair made of rosewood, with Zhao Gao and Li Si, the two ministers, by his side.
Emperor Qin Shi Huang looked at them and said.
"Has Xu Fu come back yet? Did that guy fool me? Promised me immortality medicine, but still hasn't found it for me. Maybe he'll only come back after I've died."
Although Emperor Qin Shi Huang's words were ordinary, even though he was now a sickly old man who found it difficult to get out of bed, his authority still left Zhao Gao and Li Si frightened into silence.
Zhao Gao quickly knelt on the ground and said.
"Your Majesty, we've had no news from Xu Fu, and I don't know if he has found the immortal medicine!"
Li Si added.
"Your Majesty, perhaps Xu Fu is at sea, has found the immortal island, and is on his way back with the medicine."
Emperor Qin Shi Huang sneered and said.
"Damn it, you scoundrel, you still want to fool me? Do you think I'm an idiot? There is none in this world; I see it clearly now. Immediately issue my order, if Xu Fu comes back, arrest him at once. Bury him in Xianyang City, along with all those in Xianyang City who spend their days concocting elixirs, arrest them all and bury them under the city. I want these dogs to know the consequences of deceiving me. Li Si, make haste, if you dare to deceive me, and don't bury them alive, even if I die, I'll take you with me."
Li Si shivered with fright and quickly said.
"Your Majesty, I will comply immediately."
With that, Li Si scrambled out hurriedly.
Instantly, the vast Shaqiu Palace was left with just Emperor Qin Shi Huang on the sickbed and Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao, having accompanied Emperor Qin Shi Huang for so many years, was his confidant. Emperor Qin Shi Huang looked at Zhao Gao and said.
"Little Zhao, I guess I won't make it, my body is getting worse by the day, I might die in the next few days."
Zhao Gao quickly knelt down, trembling, and said.
"Your Majesty, surely your fortune will be as vast as the heavens, your life as eternal, please don't give up, don't speak such disheartening words, I, do not want to leave you."
Emperor Qin Shi Huang waved his hand and said.
"Alright, I know my own condition, what are you afraid of? I'm not asking you to accompany me in death. I'm asking you, how's the tomb coming along?"
Zhao Gao quickly replied.
"Thanks to the Immortal Stone we found, it's all ready, Your Majesty."
Emperor Qin Shi Huang said calmly.
"Hmm, that's good, when I die, let Fusu take my place. Although Fusu is a bit of a scholar, he's kind-hearted and should be able to safeguard my legacy. Alright, you may leave, I want to sleep for a bit, I'm very tired."
Zhao Gao quickly said.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
With that, Zhao Gao left, and Emperor Qin Shi Huang lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, murmuring to himself.
"The six kingdoms have been united, ancestors, I can face you with pride even in death. I did not let you down, alas, but I will die without seeing my wayward sons and daughters, a bit of regret. I, I, alas, in the end, I truly am alone!"
After saying this, he closed his eyes, and his breath slowly weakened.
In the stadium, all the spectators were silent, able to feel Emperor Qin Shi Huang's current state of mind.
Who could imagine that the final moments of the Emperor for the ages would be filled with such loneliness and helplessness?
Many people were touched by this scene, shedding tears. Old Cao sat in his seat, already reduced to tears.
He was a descendant of Old Qin, with the deepest feelings for Emperor Qin Shi Huang, after all, he was his ancestor.
