Chapter 156 The First Emperor turned out to be a tough guy!

Royal Palace…

When the sun sets in the west.

Zhao Si, the First Emperor, and Li Si were finishing the day's exercise.

Zhao Si was performing one-handed push-ups, the First Emperor was doing squat training, and Left Prime Minister Li Si lay on the mat for a long time, struggling to hold himself up with both hands, almost causing a butterfly to flutter its wings, but in the end he could not get up.

Daily exercise was nothing for Zhao Si. After a month, the First Emperor gradually adapted to higher-intensity exercise. Although he would still sweat profusely, he became more and more comfortable doing it. Ten days ago, the First Emperor was able to do it.

Perfectly completed the new training plan formulated by Zhao Si.

Li Si, on the other hand, was temporarily sidelined simply because they worked together in the palace, and he was feeling a little miserable these days.

"No...no..." Li Si sat on the mat and waved his hands, panting and glanced at Zhao Si, who was not even sweating much, and the Emperor, who was calm and sweating profusely.

"Li Xiang is young, how can he say no? The body is the capital of reform!" Zhao Si smiled and started to massage the first emperor to relax his muscles that were tired and sore from exercise.

This is Zhao Si's daily task. High-intensity exercise should assist with muscle relaxation, massage and stretching.

The more he pressed the First Emperor, the better Zhao Si's techniques became.

Of course, the process is extremely sour and refreshing.

Even the First Emperor's determination was unavoidable.

After the First Emperor finished the massage, he was led by his maid to take a bath.

It's time for Zhao Si and Li Si to get off work.

Li Si slumped on the mat and looked at Zhao Si with a painful expression.

"Press it for me too...otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of bed." Li Si sighed.

Because he took over the important task of moving the imperial order and chose to hand over his destiny to the First Emperor without reservation, Li Si could feel that the ice between him and the First Emperor was gradually melting.

But the melting of this ice comes at a cost.

One of the costs was running to the palace early every morning to accompany the First Emperor to exercise and eating diet-like meals.

Li Si's body... although he is still relatively healthy, he can't be said to be in great condition.

The First Emperor was busy with government affairs. As the left prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, Li Si was worried about state affairs, so why not?

"Li Xiang, you are not in good health..." Zhao Si smiled and rolled up his sleeves to signal Li Si to lie down and relax his muscles.

"As I get older, how can I compare with you young people? I think back then I could still lead the big yellow dog and chase the cunning rabbit with my son..." A trace of nostalgia and emotion flashed in Li Si's eyes.

That period of time is really worth remembering, even though he was not in the same high position as he is now.

"Tsk..." Zhao Si shook his head and smiled.

"How can Prime Minister Li be as old as your Majesty? Your Majesty is already nearly fifty years old." Zhao Si refuted Li Si's excuse.

"..." Li Si was silent for a moment.

"Back then, I could only lead a yellow dog to chase a cunning rabbit. Your Majesty was able to pull a three-stone bow back then." Li Si rolled his eyes.

Can he compare with the First Emperor? Absolutely not!

Li Si's figure can be considered tall for this era, about 1.8 meters tall.

But standing in front of the First Emperor, he looked like a dwarf.

Zhao Si was over 1.9 meters tall, a few points shorter than the First Emperor.

"Real or fake? Three-stone strong bow?" Zhao Si's eyes lit up.

"Why did I lie to you?" Li Si smiled.

"Are the bows and swords hanging in your majesty's palace really considered ornaments? When Langya made the review, your majesty once drew a strong bow and shot a dragon." Li Si said.

Three stone bow!

Zhao Si's eyes lit up. When he saw the First Emperor, the First Emperor was already in his twilight years. According to history, the First Emperor had reached the end of his life and half of his feet were about to step into the coffin.

At that time, the First Emperor was extremely weak.

Judging from Zhao Si's professionalism, the skeleton of the First Emperor was there after all, and his innate conditions were extremely good, so he must have some foundation. However, he never thought that the First Emperor's body was so exaggerated.

"Three-stone bow, isn't this a natural divine power?" A flash of light flashed in Zhao Si's eyes.

"King Wu Lie still has the power to lift the cauldron..." Li Si shook his head and laughed.

"If we take it seriously, the famous Yin Shang generals are the ancestors of the royal family." Li Si enjoyed a little popular science while enjoying Zhao Si's sour massage.

The excellent physical fitness of the First Emperor's lineage was inherited from ancestors. Except for a few sick people, they basically did not need too much exercise to have physical fitness that others could not match.

"Well...this Hercules gene has really been around since ancient times."

"However, since Your Majesty's body is so outstanding, when Jing Ke assassinated Qin..." Zhao Si frowned and asked.

It doesn't make sense. According to Li Si's description, with the physical condition of the First Emperor, wouldn't handling Jing Ke be like handling a chicken?

"Huh?" Li Si said with a surprised smile on his face.

"Did you believe the rumors outside?" Li Si looked at Zhao Si with a strange expression.

Zhao Si nodded and waited for Li Si to give his explanation.

"You are the foundation of the country!" Li Si looked at Zhao Si seriously and said.

"When Jing Ke assassinated Qin, the guards were outside. Before they could go to the palace, all the officials had already rushed forward." Li Si recalled the scene at that time.

"It's just that before we could react, Xia Wuji's medicine box had already hit Jing Ke, and His Majesty had already killed Jing Ke!" Li Si said.

"So that means His Majesty didn't actually walk around the pillar?"

"Have you seen Jing Ke?" Li Si glanced at Zhao Si with a strange expression and asked.

Zhao Si shook his head.

"No, that's His Majesty's sword." Li Si gestured to the side with his lips raised.

The sword of the First Emperor was much longer than that of ordinary people. The main reason was that the First Emperor was too tall.

Historical records record that the First Emperor's sword was seven feet long, nearly 1.9 meters long. It was considered to have a certain degree of artistic processing.

The sword Zhao Si saw was about 1.56 meters tall.

"Jing Ke is only a head taller than this sword." Li Si sneered.

"Assassins have always insisted on hitting the target with one hit, and miss the target with one hit. There is a big difference in stature, and all the ministers are in the palace. At that time, His Majesty was as strong as a bullfight. Jing Ke lost the opportunity. How could he force His Majesty to flee in embarrassment?" Li Si broke it.

The inherent impression in Zhao Si's mind.

But if you think about it carefully, Li Si's statement is actually more reasonable.

Sima Qian's records are somewhat abstract... It doesn't matter if the guards can't enter the palace. Can an assassin with a dagger scare the entire court?

In the court of the Qin Dynasty, there were countless men of tiger and wolf status, all of whom were full of martial virtue and full of murderous intent. This era also emphasized the importance of generals and prime ministers, and all of them had some skills.

If the guards cannot enter the palace, doesn't that mean that the minister's rescue work is in vain?

I'm afraid all the civil and military officials have already rushed up in a hurry.

Moreover, the First Emperor was over two meters tall, and his physical fitness was truly impressive.

Jing Ke failed to hit a single blow, and facing the First Emperor, he had no choice but to wait for death.

I'm afraid the real situation is that the incident happened suddenly, Jing Ke suddenly saw the situation and started to attack the case. The First Emperor was not aware of it for a moment.

Jing Ke’s Ping A.

The ministers swarmed in, wanting to take credit, but unfortunately, in the flash of lightning, Jing Ke lost the opportunity and was killed directly by the First Emperor.

"I see... I heard it from hearsay, but it just makes people laugh..." Zhao Si shook his head and smiled.

"Wei Liaozi also said that Your Majesty is like a bee, has long eyes, is like a bird, and has the sound of a jackal." Li Si smiled.

"Do you think so?"

Zhao Si shook his head. In fact, the First Emperor had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a broad complexion, a tall figure, and a vigorous appearance, which was far different from Wei Liaozi's description.

"Three people become a tiger, that's all..." Li Si shook his head and sighed.

"So the price of salt dropped and grain seeds were distributed. You think the old nobles of the six countries did not respond. In fact, the methods of the old nobles of the six countries have never stopped. What you heard but did not really see is all in their mouths.

A brand new story. Even some things in the past, with the death of the person involved, no one can explain it, and the false ones have become true."

"Just like now, even in Guanzhong, there will be people who believe that Jing Ke forced His Majesty to flee in embarrassment, and the ministers are too timid to step forward...

After leaving Guanzhong, everyone thought that His Majesty looked like a monster like a bee, with long eyes, a ferocious bird, and the sound of a jackal."

Zhao Si ended the massage and Li Si got up from the ground.

The two of them prepared to go home together...

"Your skills are quite good." Li Si moved his body and felt that after Zhao Si's massage and stretching, a lot of fatigue and pain were indeed eliminated.
