As the formation swirled, images began to appear one after another.
It depicts countless students sitting in a classroom, listening to their teacher's explanation.
A gentle breeze stirred, the sunlight was pleasant, and the sound of students reading aloud lingered in the corridor, peaceful and serene.
The little guy looked at the screen and said, "It wasn't like this before."
As soon as the words were spoken, the scene abruptly shifted to a battlefield engulfed in flames, filled with screams and the sounds of killing. Children could be seen standing helplessly on the battlefield, gazing around in confusion.
"Mother! Mother!"
He cried out helplessly, but no matter how he looked around, he could not find that familiar figure.
But in the blink of an eye, he saw countless children lying on the ground, their faces covered in blood. The crimson blood covered their bodies, making it impossible to see their original appearance.
The child, who had just been crying, froze instantly upon seeing this scene, overwhelmed by boundless fear.
Just then, the sound of hooves rang out. The child turned around and saw a cavalryman charging towards him. The sound of hooves was quite jarring, and the longsword gleamed coldly in the orange light.
The longsword, hurtling towards the boy, rapidly expanded in his pupils, and in the blink of an eye, it was right in front of him.
At this critical moment, the soldier's body stiffened, and the long sword that was flying towards him suddenly stopped, stopping just inches away from the boy, unable to advance any further.
The child looked up at the soldier with a puzzled expression, his eyes widening instantly.
A long spear pierced the cavalryman's chest, finally stopping him in his tracks.
As his pupils dilated, the cavalryman collapsed to the ground with a thud, lifeless.
"Those who offend Qin shall be executed!"
A loud shout rang out, followed by the thunderous sound of horses' hooves.
The boy turned his head and saw thousands of troops rushing towards him, with the cavalry at the front carrying a large banner that read "Qin".
Despite their speed, the soldiers bypassed the children and charged straight at the invaders ahead.
Watching this scene, the little guy slowly said, "They should have perished on this battlefield like those children who have already died, but because of the decision made by Father, they were able to survive and live this kind of life."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes flickered slightly. He did not speak, but he was quite moved.
The scene shifts to a peaceful and prosperous life for ordinary people. In a bustling market, vendors are actively hawking their wares, and countless merchants and customers pass by, inquiring about prices—some are couples, others are men playing with their children.
The people all had one thing in common: their faces were beaming with smiles, and the whole place was peaceful and serene.
Looking at this scene, the little boy asked again, "Father, what do you think is the reason why the people can live such a life?"
Ying Zheng's gaze darkened slightly as he said, "Without war, the people will not have to worry about sudden disasters and can focus their energy on their families and careers, thus living a peaceful and prosperous life."
As an emperor, he was well aware of these things. During times of war, one could see refugees everywhere, their faces filled with fear and devoid of life.
However, Ying Zheng could clearly see the lives of the people in this prosperous era from within the formation; the joy and peace there were genuine.
Ying Zheng continued, "Of course, it's not just about defeating foreign enemies to achieve this effect. To achieve true peace, the country must also maintain its own strength, have strong national power as support, and achieve widespread fame."
"In that case, true stability will be achieved when other powers dare not offend us simply because of our name."
The little guy looked at the formation and said, "That's definitely the reason behind it."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng looked at him and asked, "Do you think there are any other reasons?"
He could naturally understand what the little guy was saying, and he knew that the little guy must have his own reasons for saying that, so he asked him about it.
The little guy looked at him and said, "The fact that they can live such a comfortable life is partly due to what Dad said, but I think the most important thing is their current unity."
Ying Zheng's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the little guy with considerable doubt, "Return to One?"
The little guy's eyes darkened, and he said seriously, "In the past, the seven kingdoms fought for supremacy. They belonged to different countries and had to fight hard for their own country. Even if they shed blood on the spot, they had no choice but to sacrifice their lives."
"But now that the Qin Dynasty has unified the six kingdoms, they belong to the same group, so such a thing will never happen again, which is why we can be so at ease now."
"This is all thanks to you, Father Emperor."
As he spoke, the little guy turned to look at Ying Zheng.
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at the little guy with a rather complicated expression.
The little guy continued, "But even after the six kingdoms were unified, the people still used different languages, read different books, and had different cultural customs. The differences were enormous."
"But it's good that you implemented the standardization of cart tracks and written language, which eliminated most of the huge cultural differences and allowed them to truly belong to the same power. This elimination of differences truly enabled them to communicate normally."
"They received tremendous help in trade and other aspects, which is why their lives are so prosperous and comfortable."
"This is all a decision made by Father Emperor."
Hearing the little guy's words, Ying Zheng's eyes reddened slightly. "That's very good. It's just like the Great Qin I imagined."
The little guy continued, "And in the distant future, the Great Qin will unify and become a nation with a large population. They will be invincible and have absolute cohesion, uniting together to overcome all kinds of problems."
"And it has become one of the most powerful nations in the world, earning countless respects. The reason it has become such a powerful and cohesive nation is because of your choice, Father!"
Looking at the scenes of battles on the screen, whether it was repelling foreign enemies or leading troops into battle, Ying Zheng's face was filled with excitement.
"Will the Qin Dynasty truly remain so powerful after this?"
Just by looking at those images, he could see how formidable the Qin Dynasty was after unification.
The little guy looked at him and said, "This is all the choice you made, Dad. It was the right choice."
