Zhao Gao noticed Ying Zheng's gaze and his body began to tremble visibly. He crawled on the ground and dared not get up, and he was completely speechless.
The situation for the others was not much better. The Xianyang Palace was shrouded in a biting cold.
But Ying Zheng didn't know what happened afterwards. He just thought that Fusu would take the throne after his death. However, Hu Hai and Zhao Gao were instigated to turn their swords against Fusu. Fusu quelled the rebellion. It was not that Ying Zheng had great confidence in Fusu, but he knew that with the help of Meng Tian and others, the possibility of Fusu's failure was very small. He just didn't know what role Li Si played in it.
On the screen, Zhou Jia sat upright. "Before I begin, let me ask you a question. Do you know how many years the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period lasted? How many years did they fight? Answer correctly and you'll receive a reward. Those who lived during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period or before don't need to answer. Even those who lived before the term 'emperor' was coined don't need to answer. You will automatically gain one merit. Those who answer correctly after you will also gain one merit."
The number of comments skyrocketed instantly.
"Yes, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period began in 770 BC and ended in 221 BC, a period of 549 years. Wars lasted for over 200 years, resulting in countless casualties. So today, let's take a look at the man who unified China and ended the century-long chaos of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period—Ying Zheng!"
Qin
Ying Quliang laughed loudly, looking up to the sky. "I did it! I did it! I unified the world. After all, it was my Qin State that did it!"
Shang Yang was also overwhelmed with emotion. He stood up and saluted, "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Ying Quliang held Shang Yang's hand, and the two grown men were in tears.
Ying Si, the son of Ying Quliang and the self-proclaimed King of Qin, pulled his prime minister Zhang Yi and laughed heartily, while Ying Ji sent another team of people to pick up Bai Qi and his little great-grandson.
"Zheng'er, my Zheng'er is really amazing, hahaha, God bless the Great Qin!"
In those planes where Ying Zheng had already returned to Qin, Ying Yiren happily jumped up from the throne, and his face became more and more kind as he looked at Ying Zheng.
When Ying Zheng, who was about ten years old, listened to Zhou Jia's introduction of himself, there was some joy in his eyes. At the same time, he secretly vowed that he must do better than his original self!
The people of the Qin Dynasty were even happier, because it would be their Great Qin that would complete the great cause of unification in the future. However, the mood of the six countries was obviously not very good. The unification of the Great Qin would mean that all of them would be destroyed. How could they be happy?
Zhou Jia continued, "Ying Zheng was the first emperor in Chinese history. Some say he was a great hero, a peerless emperor who laid the foundation for the unification of China. Others say he was a sinner, and that his feudal monarchy, book burnings, and burying of scholars destroyed Chinese civilization. So, what was Ying Zheng's life like?"
Ying Zheng had a complicated expression, curious about how these two opposite evaluations came about.
"Your Majesty is undoubtedly the greatest emperor of all time!" Meng Tian spoke first.
"Your Majesty has made unprecedented achievements, how can he be a sinner? I think there are people who slander your Majesty's reputation from time to time, and their hearts are damnable!" Zhao Gao said flatteringly.
Ying Zheng's expression was calm and he said firmly, "Why should anyone else comment on what I have done?"
Chinese
Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, felt a little jealous when he heard Zhou Jia's words, "The greatest emperor in history~"
Standing on his left and right were the two great men of the Han Dynasty who had inflicted heavy losses on the Xiongnu—Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. Huo Qubing, young and at heart, said frankly, "The First Emperor's evaluation is rather too extreme."
How can one person have such polarized opinions?
Liu Che's attention was only on the eternal emperor in front of him. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Can I compete with him for the throne of the eternal emperor?"
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Zhou Jia's laughter in his ear, "Of course you can, you two are brothers in distress, you take praise together, you take scolding together, the kind that is locked together!"
Although she doesn't support these two CPs, she has to say that they are indeed a good match.
Liu Che then realized that his words had become comments and were projected onto the skylight. After hearing Zhou Jia's words, he laughed heartily. Then he thought of a question, "What do you think? If I were to truly be locked in a mortal relationship with the First Emperor, would he stab me to death with his sword the first time he saw me?"
After all, it was their Liu family that took over the world from their Ying family.
But when he thought about having a few exchanges with Ying Zheng, Liu Che felt excited again.
Wei Qing opened his mouth and wanted to say that the First Emperor's reputation was already like that. According to what later generations said, if you were tied together, I'm afraid your reputation would not be that good either. After thinking for a long time, he still didn't say it and continued to stare at the screen.
Tang
Li Shimin thought about Zhou Jia's words and nodded silently. "What the later generations said is not without reason. It is indeed difficult to evaluate this person. It's just that this feudal monarchy..."
It always gave him a bad feeling.

The Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang said disdainfully: "He is just a tyrant."
Empress Ma beside him patted his hands and said, "Listen to the opinions of future generations."
Zhu Biao was also there, staring at Zhou Jia intently.
"Ying Zheng, some say he was named Zheng because he was born in the first month of the year, but most of us still call him Zheng. His father, Ying Yiren, also known as Ying Zichu, was a prince of Qin who was once held hostage in Handan. His mother, Zhao Ji, was once a concubine of Qin Prime Minister Lü Buwei, and was later given to Ying Yiren to give birth to Ying Zheng.
In 259 BC, the first month of the 48th year of the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Yingji, Ying Zheng was born in Handan, Zhao State. Unlike other emperors who were born as princes and enjoyed wealth and glory, he was born a hostage. While other emperors were arrogant because of their status as princes, he had already learned to read other people's faces and try his best to survive.
In 257 BC, the 50th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Wang Qi besieged Handan, the capital of Zhao State. Zhao State wanted to kill Ying Yiren. Ying Yiren conspired with Lu Buwei to give 600 kilograms of gold to the officials guarding the city. Finally, he abandoned his wife and children and fled back to Qin State. Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng who were left behind naturally became the targets of Zhao State's anger. Fortunately, the mother and son survived this most difficult period, and the young Ying Zheng grew up safely.
In 251 BC, Ying Ji died and Ying Yiren was named Crown Prince. The nine-year-old Ying Zheng officially ushered in the first turning point in his life.
When Zhou Jia said this, his tone was light and his expression was calm, and Wan Chao listened quietly.
Everyone, whether it was the young Ying Zheng, King Zheng of Qin, or the First Emperor, listened to Zhou Jia's story, and their thoughts were drawn back to the former Handan.
In the end, Qin Shi Huang could only sneer.
Zhao Ji, who was imprisoned in Ganquan Palace after the Lü Buwei Rebellion, felt a little dazed when she heard these words. The good days as the queen mother had lasted too long, and the hard days in Handan seemed like a lifetime ago. Suddenly, tears welled up in her eyes.
The rift has already arisen, and her son will never forgive her...
One side is lonely while the other side is in chaos.
Ever since he found out that Ying Zheng was born while he was still alive, Ying Ji was furious. When he learned that Ying Yiren had abandoned his wife and children and fled back to Qin, he was even more furious. He kicked Ying Yiren, who was kneeling on the ground and apologizing, knowing that he was in the wrong. "What a shame! What a shame! You have disgraced the Qin people. You abandoned your wife and children. You really made me proud! Ahem..."
"Father, please don't be angry. Your health is most important." Ying Zhu, Ying Zheng's grandfather, Ying Yiren's father, and Ying Ji's son, later known as King Xiaowen of Qin, stepped forward to support his father. Seeing that his father was still looking at Ying Yiren with disdain, he stepped forward and kicked him again, "Why don't you apologize quickly? How could you bear to leave Zheng'er, such a young child, all alone in Handan!"
