"Do you think... is it better for me to sit on the dragon chair and hold the emperor's sword in my hand, or hold up the jade seal? Or hold a long roll of bamboo slips? Or just sit on the dragon chair and do nothing.
It’s done.”
Zuo Zhou did not expect that such a sentence would be waiting for them after entering the hall.
Hu Hai: "Father, no matter what his actions, he is so wise and powerful!"
Fusu: "..."
Bai Qi: "..."
Zuo Zhou: "..."
Emperor Qin was happy. He leaned back on the dragon chair in the center of the hall, holding the emperor's sword in one hand and the jade seal in the other. He also rolled up a bamboo slip and placed it on his knees. Well, daring means making all movements
Comprehensive.
"Fusu, you see, as the elder brother, you have been better than Hu Hai in everything since you were a child, but you are not thick-skinned enough! Hu Hai just flattered you without thinking, but you are still sad." Emperor Qin shook his head,
Although there was blame, there was no resentment in the tone. Instead, one could hear a bit of distress in it.
Zuo Zhou frowned slightly. There were some things that they obviously knew but he didn't know. There was something wrong with this situation. It was obvious that they, the exiles, should know the most about the truth about the world. But for some reason, judging from the intelligence information alone, it seemed that he was not the same person.
They are not equal.
Emperor Qin saw Zuo Zhou's confusion and smiled and asked: "Can't figure it out? Just ask whatever you want. From today on, you are one of the core members of Da Qin. There are no secrets that should be kept from you."
"Huh? Core? This word is really hard to understand. Let me make a simple guess. The so-called core...is not restricted by imperial power?"
Emperor Qin laughed, "Have some confidence in yourself. This world is not the one you have destroyed. This is a world where the strong are respected. Even if the world is unified in the future, the imperial power must respect the strong!"
Zuo Zhou raised his eyebrows and glanced at Hu Hai, who immediately greeted him with a smile, "Brother Zhou, do you have any advice?"
He is really thick-skinned... "The so-called core...can participate in determining the fate of the country?"
Emperor Qin paused and did not hesitate. Instead, he looked Zuo Zhou up and down and said, "You don't seem to be a person who can manage the country carefully. Of course, if you think what you said makes sense, you can give your opinion as much as you want. If
Everyone agrees that nature will do it.”
Zuo Zhou scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed, "The so-called core...what exactly is the core?"
Emperor Qin was amused, but this time he thought about it seriously, "The core now is the person who will definitely become a strong person on the Earth Ranking in the future, and the person who can ensure the inheritance of the Great Qin. So far, such people include Bai Qi and Yin.
Man, You Wuming, recently discovered another one, you!"
Bai Qi suddenly stepped forward and interjected: "I discovered another one before, Ximen Chuixue. His swordsmanship has already crossed the threshold of the Earth Ranking. As long as he makes some improvements in other aspects, he will be on the Earth Ranking within five years."
Emperor Qin smiled, "It seems that Hu Hai is very lucky."
Zuo Zhou looked at Emperor Qin and Hu Hai, then at Fusu next to him, "Doesn't it count as Fusu?"
With his powerful perception, he could easily detect that Fusu's strength was close to the Great Perfection of a Grandmaster, and it was a state with an extremely solid foundation. With just a casual epiphany, he might have crossed that threshold.
Emperor Qin shook his head, "After Hu Hai ascended the throne, Fu Suhui left the court and lived in seclusion, spreading his branches."
"???"
When I typed the question mark, it wasn’t that I had a problem, but that I thought you had a problem!
Hu Hai seemed to have known about it for a long time, "My brother and I have already agreed on the competition. The winner will become the next Emperor of Qin, and the loser will live in seclusion and spread his branches and leaves."
Zuo Zhou was confused. Looking at the father and son, he couldn't understand the logic of this at all.
Purposely sending such an outstanding prince to reproduce future generations...Does it mean that Emperor Qin expected that the Qin Dynasty would be doomed in the future, so he arranged the next step to ensure that he would continue to have no descendants?
As for Hu Hai... Zuo Zhou doubted whether Emperor Qin took Da Qin seriously?
"Okay, last question, why does Your Majesty think that I will agree to be the core of Da Qin?"
Zuo Zhou made his eyes as sharp as possible. After all, he had broken with the imperial court in the main hall before, with all the civil and military officials watching. He didn't think he had any reason to ensure the continuation of the Qin Dynasty. What's more, even you yourself
If you don’t care, why should I worry?
Qin Huang was happy, "Let me talk about your problem first. I don't want to worry about why Yang Wenguang took out the marriage certificate, but you really don't understand the matter, because the marriage certificate is true! It was Qingping who was there at the beginning.
The sacrifice that Pei Guo made in order to capture Jingzhou City was voluntary, so she could only taste the bitter fruit herself. The widow could order a marriage, which was nothing, but there was no way to change her status as a widow. After all,
This is folk custom, and it can’t be changed even by a few people.”
Zuo Zhou twitched the corner of his mouth and sneered: "Of course I know it can't be changed, so I asked, why do you think I will become the core of Da Qin? Just because you killed those ministers? I don't care about this, not to mention the pair of Hu Hai
It's good. Maybe tomorrow there will be rumors in the streets that 'Emperor Qin killed ministers because he was afraid of Li Yuanfang's power'. After all, the court has many enemies, such as the Qinglong Society."
"It's not because of you that we killed them." Qin Huang nodded and said with a smile: "But you are right, there must be some organizations spreading such rumors. As for the Qinglong Society, I originally wanted to kill the big dragon head together.
I lost it, but... after all, he is my brother who has fought with me, and he understands people best, so he ran away overnight."
"Huh? Do you know who the leader of the Qinglong Society is?" Zuo Zhou was slightly surprised for a moment, but it was unexpected but also reasonable.
Emperor Qin nodded, "That's King Xian. Back then, I asked him to set up an organization to secretly manage Jianghu. But later he found that if he wanted Jianghu to develop healthily, using politics to secretly control Jianghu would only have the opposite effect, so I ordered him to do so."
He disbanded the organization. But he didn’t expect that he secretly developed the organization!"
"Since you know, why don't you..."
"Hu Hai said that if you want the people to live a happy life, the emperor should not be too arbitrary. If there is no solid evidence, you cannot kill the emperor's relatives at will." Emperor Qin said a little helplessly.
Zuo Zhou looked at Hu Hai again, he was quite proud...
"As for the rumors you mentioned, you don't need to pay attention to them, because even if they spread, no one in the world would believe them."
Zuo Zhou took a breath of air-conditioning. You are so confident, aren't you? It's very rare for you to be able to guarantee that most of the emperors in the world don't believe you.
"Okay, I don't have a problem anymore. Just do whatever you want. I will leave the imperial capital when it's done."
Qin Huang chuckled, paused and continued: "I have actually come into contact with many exiles, and I have learned many things from the sidelines and asked many questions. Of course, I also know what Qin Shihuang did in your world.
.I was very confused at that time, why couldn’t I do it?”
Zuo Zhou looked at him strangely, "You have done a good job. If you look at the land area purely, the territory you conquered is larger than that of Qin Shihuang. Besides, you have stopped the war. If you keep fighting,
We should be able to achieve unification, after all, other countries were still in chaos at that time!"
"But Great Qin will also gradually fall apart because the battle front is too long, and its ruling ability cannot radiate too far. If there are any natural disasters or man-made disasters, then Great Qin will be destroyed faster. This is the same as your history. I don't want that. It's not that I can't bear this.
The world, but does not want to be manipulated by destiny. Even if it wants to collapse, it must collapse according to my wishes!"
"So you're going to pass the throne to Hu Hai?"
Politeness: Are you Hu Hai?
Emperor Qin smiled brightly, as if he had heard some joke, and then said: "I am also a human being, and sometimes I want to be famous throughout the ages and be called the emperor of the ages. It is a pity that according to the current situation, if it is normal
It’s impossible to do it the other way around.”
"Not necessarily. If you let Bai Qi be the vanguard and start the war again, you should be able to unify the world!"
Emperor Qin's smile gradually faded, and he said with some regret: "So what if we are unified? Divide and unite, unite and unite, it's just endless war. If we want true integration... in your opinion, what is needed?"
Zuo Zhou was stunned, why did he answer it? But he quickly gave the answer, "Culture! A culture that is inclusive and very charming and rich!"
Emperor Qin suddenly smiled brightly, "Hahaha, you exiles, you all have the same answers. You are indeed backed by the wisdom of the world, and you are more powerful than us natives in terms of structure!"
Zuo Zhou was startled, why was he so excited all of a sudden?
"Yin Man said the same thing at the beginning, but she couldn't find a solution, so in the end she could only make sure that she became stronger. All I could do was help her and give her a blessing." Emperor Qin said.
He sighed, seeming to miss his daughter who had gone somewhere.
"Why can't it be done?"
Zuo Zhou remembered that on the earth next door, the First Emperor also wanted a hundred schools of thought to contend at first. Unfortunately, he later discovered that some doctrines affected his rule. Just like the ministers who were killed, when they began to influence the country with their own will, they also met their deaths.
time.
The same thing seems to have never happened in this world, or in other words, it seems to have been suppressed before it formed a climate. Otherwise, how could the magic gate be so complicated?
Wait, something is wrong!
Zuo Zhou shivered suddenly and his face became gloomy.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Qin sighed: "You are really clever. If you were my son, I would give you the throne!"
If there is non-mainstream, then there must be mainstream. Similarly, so many theoretical doctrines are labeled as magic, so they must also be labeled as 'orthodox'. But, what doctrine is labeled as orthodox? Yes
Who has been fighting against the Demon Sect?
Legalists who rule the country according to law? No!
Confucianism alone? No!
It’s such a Buddhist thing!
Well, please refer to the situation in Tang Dynasty for details.
The opposite of so many ideals is actually a kind of Shinto worship, which is so outrageous!
Recalling that Lao Di once said, "The Emperor of Qin does not want to be emperor, he wants to be emperor!" and that the Great Qin cavalry destroyed the Shaolin Temple, various signs indicate...
"You are right, before you exiles came, there were gods and Buddhas in this world."
