Fusu asked, "And then? What did the ministers say?"
Qi Pan said, "Some ministers feared Zhao Gao's power, so they said, 'This is a horse, a thousand-mile horse,' against their conscience."
What? !
"Someone actually dares to do this?!"
Fusu glared angrily, "It's clearly a deer, but you're afraid of Zhao Gao and you're so conscientious as to call it a horse?"
"How can such a person be worthy of being an official? How can he be worthy of attending the imperial court?!"
"Hey, hey, hey, Xiao Su, don't be angry first."
Qi Pan said, "There are even angrier people coming up, so you better stay calm, stay calm."
What?
Is there anything more infuriating?
Fusu took a deep breath and said, "Sir, please continue."
"good."
Qi Pan nodded. "Of course, not all the ministers in the court were afraid of Zhao Gao. There were also ministers who insisted that this was a deer, a sika deer."
"But these ministers would eventually be charged with various crimes by Zhao Gao, thrown into prison, and persecuted to death."
"Or they can be driven out of the court and no longer allowed to participate in government affairs."
"Over time, no one in the court dared to oppose Zhao Gao anymore."
"If he says it's a horse, then it's a horse."
"Even if he pointed to a dead sparrow and said it was a phoenix, everyone in the court would nod and say it was a phoenix."
After hearing what Qi Pan said, Wang Wan was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
He slammed the table and stood up!
"How ridiculous! How ridiculous!!"
"This Zhao Gao! He deserves to be cut into pieces!"
"He, a mere official, actually dared to rebel against his superiors and seize control of the imperial court! His death alone will not quell the rage in my heart!"
Fusu, Feng Quji, Meng Tian and others were also very angry.
Although Ying Zheng looked grim, he remained calm.
Judging from what Qi Pan said, he could already predict it.
Daqin.....is over.
The world that several generations have worked hard to build is gone just like that...
Ying Zheng looked at Qi Pan and asked, "Sir, how many generations did it take for the Qin Dynasty to perish?"
"well........"
Qi Pan sighed, "The Great Qin Dynasty perished in the second generation."
What?
The Qin Dynasty fell in the second generation?
Ying Zheng's body suddenly shook!
"...did he die in the second generation? So short?"
"yes."
Qi Pan sighed and said, "After Qin II Hu Hai ascended the throne, he trusted Zhao Gao and stayed away from the court officials."
"He is brutal and only cares about having fun, with no regard for the lives of the people of Daqin."
"They even increased corvée labor and taxes, causing widespread resentment among the people."
"Within a few years, unrest and uprisings broke out across the Qin Empire, and anti-Qin forces began to rise."
"Under Hu Hai's rule, the fall of the Qin Dynasty is only a matter of time."
"If it was Fusu who succeeded to the throne, he would have been the most suitable person. At least he had a kind heart for the people."
"As long as he doesn't insist on being unilateral and implements benevolent policies, he will have ministers like Li Si, Feng Quji, and Meng Tian to assist him."
"The Qin Dynasty will not perish in the second generation."
After saying that, Qi Pan couldn't help but sigh again.
I really feel sorry for the Qin Dynasty.
I feel sorry for the First Emperor.
It's a pity that he died early and suddenly.
Otherwise, how could such a huge Qin Dynasty be ruined by Hu Hai and Zhao Gao?
“Father…Father…”
Fusu turned to look at Ying Zheng and asked, "Is it really wrong to practice benevolent governance and advocate governing the country with benevolence?"
Ying Zheng said, "Governing a country with benevolence requires considering time, place, and situation."
“It’s not just about being benevolent.”
Qi Pan nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, brother is right."
"Like the Qin Dynasty in history, after unifying the six kingdoms, it was appropriate to relax some policies."
"But we can't just talk about benevolence without talking about the law."
"The Qin Dynasty was originally governed by law. If they suddenly changed their national policy, wouldn't everything be in chaos?"
"Everything should be done step by step and adapted to local conditions."
"What about before the unification of the six kingdoms?"
Fusu said, "Why must we fight? Can't we just not unify?"
"Like the states of Yan, Chu, Qi, and Wei, wouldn't it be good for everyone to live in their own country, in their own territory?"
"Why do we have to start a war and attack other countries?"
ah........
this........
Qi Pan said, "Can you promise that if you don't hit him, he won't hit you?"
this.......
Fusu was stunned, "Well...it seems that I can't."
"But if their people are living and working in peace and contentment, why would they want to attack others?"
Qi Pan asked in return, "What if the people in other countries don't have enough food or warm clothes, and can't live and work in peace?"
“The situation in each country is different.”
"If the people of your Great Qin had fertile land and a pleasant climate, they would have no worries about food and clothing."
"In other countries, the land is barren and can't grow food. There are extreme cold and heat, and the weather is extremely harsh."
"The people are starving and freezing, with no food to eat. Do you think they'll envy the Qin?"
"Do you want to seize Daqin so that your people can live a good life?"
this.......
Fusu was silent.
He admitted that what the gentleman said made sense.
This was an angle he had never considered.
"There's a saying that goes, 'Those who fall behind will be beaten.'"
Qi Pan half-closed his eyes and said, "Even if you don't want to fight, there's no guarantee that someone will force you to fight."
