Later Tang
Li Congke looked at the jade seal in his hand and fell into deep thought.
Did he intend to commit suicide, or did he just commit suicide?
Ying Zheng shook his head silently.
Even if it is the meaning he gave it, can't it be changed?
Wouldn't it be more remarkable to overthrow the old and establish the new? Why don't people in later generations understand this?
Some people became wild-minded after hearing Zhou Jia's words.
"Do some people think that since this imperial seal is nothing, then I can also be crowned emperor?"
Zhou Jia continued to break their illusions.
"Ancestors, one of the downsides of history is that everything in it is left for future generations to judge. So often, even if you plaster yourself with countless gold, whether we will recognize it in the future is still a question.
Even if you were to claim the title of emperor, there were standards. It wasn't just about proclaiming yourself emperor or anything else. Everything had to be recorded and commented on by history books and future generations."
That is why many people care so much about their reputation after death, and want to leave a good name in history rather than a bad reputation in history books.
"For example, regarding posthumous titles, I've mentioned before that Your Majesty doesn't like others to describe you as the First Emperor. He completely eliminated the possibility of unfair evaluations from the Qin dynasty. There are many emperors and kings in history who have been given bad names, such as the villain King Zhou of Shang in the Investiture of the Gods we just mentioned."

Emperor Xin raised his eyes when he heard the three words "King Zhou of Shang".
Zhou.
There were indeed many people among the Zhou people who called themselves Zhou.
He didn't care about these things, but he was a little curious about what the Investiture of the Gods Zhou Jia was talking about.
【King Zhou of Shang was a great tyrant.】
[Yes, yes, he disrespected Nuwa and indulged in the vixen Daji, ultimately destroying the Shang Dynasty. He disregarded human life and deserved to be the king of a ruined nation.]
Zhou Jia looked at the comments around her and covered her face in frustration. She scratched her head and sighed:
"We'll talk about these things later, but please remember one thing: no matter whether you think he was a tyrant or not, calling someone by their name is basic courtesy. He wasn't called King Zhou of Shang. You could call him Emperor Xin. Thank you. King Zhou of Shang was an unkind posthumous name given to him by later generations.
My goodness, it's a good thing that His Majesty has given himself the title of First Emperor, otherwise I don't know what bad name you would have given him. We are truly in the same boat."
Ying Zheng felt that he was still very far-sighted in this regard. As expected, he could not listen to what others called him.
Emperor Xin had long known that the Zhou people wouldn't treat him with much respect, and now it seemed they were right. However, the insults didn't matter to him. He never regretted anything he had done, except...
Boycott the human sacrifice to Emperor Xin: [I did it myself, what does it have to do with women? ]
Why do these descendants like to blame everything on women?
After Emperor Xin appeared on the screen, many comments followed.
What's wrong with calling him King Zhou of Shang? Are people not allowed to criticize what he did? What about a tyrant like him?
[That's right, wasn't King Zhou of Shang just someone to be called? Who cares what his name is?]
