Chapter 22 How will future generations evaluate me?

All the ministers in the palace fell into deep thought.

Why did Great Qin dominate the world?
  Isn't it because the princes in the world are divided and wars are endless?
  As for the remaining heroes of the sixth generation of the Great Qin Dynasty, wasn't it just to end the hundreds of years of strife as soon as possible, so that the world could be unified and the world would be peaceful for all eternity?

After unification, the Qin court combined the theories of hundreds of schools of thought, and under Zulong's broad mind and guidance, everyone gradually came to understand.

The ancient Zhou enfeoffment in the pre-Qin period actually had many loopholes.

Let the princes open up, conquer the nine states and eight wastelands, and receive the emperor's decree. It is always the power of the princes that is wasted.

As for the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Sixth Army of the Emperor was stationed in Haojing to suppress the princes of the Nine Provinces. At first, it was able to guarantee the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But land is limited, and if all the outside land is grabbed, it will inevitably fall into internal strife and disputes.

The Zhou Dynasty inevitably fell into decline.

This is the disadvantage of not having an emperor and not having a unified empire!

But at this moment, Qin Chi said in front of the civil and military officials of the court that there would be no emperor in the world two thousand years later? !

Isn’t this following the old path of pre-Qin and ancient Zhou? !
  In front of everyone, facing the anxious looks of the ministers, Qin Chi said calmly:
  "Two thousand years from now, everyone will be equal, spiritually unified, and the world will be unified!"

"At that time, the people were awakened and governed the world by electing officials!"

"At that time, society was prosperous, the world was at peace, and the land of China was fertile and rich, protecting hundreds of millions of people!"

"With prosperous civilization and advanced science and technology, everyone can propose strategies and policies for governing the country!"

"We seek knowledge and explore, we go to heaven and earth, our country is rich and powerful, and our sea is open to all rivers!"

"What we need is not the emperor! But... the people!"

"Mencius said: The people are the most valuable, the country is the second most important, and the king is the most important!"

"Only those who have a family have a family, and only those who have a family have a country!"

Qin Chi's words were so resounding that they shocked all officials!
  The three princes and nine ministers, as well as Ying Zheng on the dragon platform, were all dumbfounded, and their heartbeats were beating fast!

This...is the world two thousand years from now? !
  This... is this thought two thousand years later? !
  Even Ying Zheng couldn't help but be impressed.

I wish the people could be prosperous and the world peaceful, that would be enough!
  Ying Zheng was silent, and the whole hall was silent. All the officials were speechless, lowering their heads and thinking. They were curious and eager, expecting and shocked about the world two thousand years from now!
  "According to what you said, two thousand years later, it will indeed be a prosperous age! But what do you think of me? How is it recorded in the historical materials?!"

Ying Zheng's eyes were wandering, full of curiosity and desire.

He was the First Emperor, who led the Qin Dynasty to rule the nine states, unified the world, and ruled over the past and present!

He cares about his posthumous name!

I wonder what historical records will say about him two thousand years later?

How do people evaluate him?
  At this moment, all the officials looked at Qin Chi, their eyes solemn and very nervous.

But he didn't know what shocking words Qin Chi would say this time.

"Qin Shihuang is a tyrant!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place came to a standstill, and everyone stopped breathing!

The atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly solidified and then dropped to freezing point. On the dragon platform, the face of the Supreme One is hidden in the darkness, his temperament is calm, the emperor's power is like an abyss, and the blue dragon is wrathful!
  Immediately, the whole hall was in an uproar!
  Everyone was shocked!

However, Qin Chi continued: "The First Emperor built the Great Wall and Lishan Mountain, wasting people and money, his laws were strict, and his ruling methods were extremely cruel. The people of the world could not bear it, and Qin had been miserable for a long time!"

The whole hall was silent.

The ministers almost forgot to breathe, their eyes were shocked and their pupils shrank!
  Li Si and Meng Tian were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were sweating profusely.

"The heavy corvee and exorbitant taxes made it difficult for the people of the Qin Dynasty at that time to make a living, but they still carried out large-scale construction, waged wars everywhere, and shed blood. All the glory of the Qin Empire was accumulated with the flesh, blood and bones of the Qin people!"

Qin Chi's words, every word, were like a sledgehammer, hitting the ears of the ministers in the palace, as well as the ears of the Supreme Being on the Dragon Platform!

Ying Zheng's face was dark, and he held the windlass sword tightly with one hand. He stared at Qin Chi with a pair of blue dragon eyes, and his twelve imperial crown pearls began to shake violently!
  Zulong, furious!
  "The great cause of unification of the First Emperor, which lasted for six generations, still requires a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources at all times!"

"Population and property cannot be created by the sky or the earth can grow, so the First Emperor squeezed them out from the teeth of the Qin people! The people of Qin want to sacrifice their lives for the foundation of Qin. Those who go on expeditions, guard the borders, build the Great Wall, and build From the mausoleum, how many people can survive?"

"And among those old, weak, sick and disabled people who stay in the countryside, how many of them can live and work in peace and contentment?"

"Wives and children are scattered, families are destroyed! The First Emperor built it with the bones of the leaders of Guizhou and wrote it with the blood and tears of the common people. May I ask... what kind of great cause is this? Whose great cause is this?!"

"Who can be willing to do such a great undertaking?!"

"This is not tyranny, what is tyranny? The First Emperor is not a tyrant, who else is a tyrant!!"

Qin Chi's words are sonorous, solid and powerful, falling in this hall and on the civil and military officials of the dynasty!
  It fell into the ears of...the First Emperor, Ying Zheng!

Li Si and Meng Tian kept sucking in cold air.

This Qin Chi really dares to say it!
  All the ministers in the palace lowered their heads, their faces turned pale with fear, almost as pale as a dead person!
  The ancestral dragon is angry and lays down millions of corpses. The Qin Dynasty will be unified and will be successful, but all the bones will wither!

Who knows about the three ministers and nine ministers present? Who doesn't know?
  But who dares to expose it in front of Zulong? !
  However, Qin Chi has not finished speaking yet!
  He took a step forward and said, "Of course, these are the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and the smear campaign of later dynasties against the Qin Dynasty! Two thousand years later, people in the world have become more discerning and clear. As history continues to wash away, the truth has been uncovered bit by bit!"

"Your Majesty, you are called the cruel and foolish king, but you are actually the emperor of the ages!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall erupted in discussion.

The officials looked at Qin Chi in surprise, and the expressions on the faces of Li Si and Meng Tian also changed suddenly.

On the dragon platform, even Ying Zheng held his breath.

As Qin Chi changed the subject, the anger of the blue dragon on his body just now was in vain.

"Qin Shihuang, the Three Emperors of Great Contribution, and the Five Emperors of Virtue! He is an unparalleled hero in terms of his civil and martial arts and the scale of the system he created!"

"Your Majesty wiped out six countries and looked at the world. How majestic it is. With the power of one man, he fought for six generations and ended the nine states that were divided by the princes!"

"Your Majesty created a political system, abolished feudalism, and established prefectures and counties, so that future generations would continue to practice Qin's legal governance for thousands of years without merit or reward, replacing the blood clan system of Shiqing Shilu! This is unique in the ages!"

"Your Majesty strictly enforces the rule of law, and everything is decided by the law, which has become a tool for governing the country! Qin Law emphasizes obligations and despises rights. It is more than capable of eliminating harm but not enough to bring about benefits. It is well-developed in technology and has a profound impact on future generations. It is extremely valuable!"

"Finally, His Majesty promotes the same laws, the same tracks of cars, the same texts of books, the same system of degrees, the same value of coins, and the same principles of behavior, which fundamentally eliminates the division and separatism of future generations, achieves great unification, and allows Chinese civilization to be passed down for eternity!"

"This is your majesty's meritorious service for one emperor throughout the ages! It is the only one in history, but the crime is in the present day, but the merit lies in the eternity!"
