Da Qin: At the age of six, I beat Qin Shihuang at the beginning

Chapter 169 On the streets of Xianyang, Zulong asked his heart

Qin Mu and Zu Long were walking on the streets of Xianyang.

Zu Long looked at the rejoicing crowd on the street, and didn't speak for a long time.

Qin Mu knew that what he said just now was really shocking in this feudal era.

What do people in this era think?

The king is the highest!It's the Son of Heaven!
It is a natural honor for a person to die for the king!

Once the king is incapacitated, he will either be a treacherous minister who will harm the country, or a confidant will cause trouble.

And the king himself is always as pure as snow and dedicated to the country.

They were only briefly deceived by the villain.

As for himself, he directly made it clear that the root cause of Zhao Gao's success was Zulong.

Therefore, it is completely within Qin Mu's expectation that the father is so silent now.

In his opinion, it was because what he said just now had an effect.

Dad was extremely protective of Emperor Shihuang before, but now he must be in the stage of idol collapse.

When he thought about it for himself, and when the right time came, he took advantage of it and stepped in. The seeds of rebellion were planted in the old man's mind.

In Zulong's heart, he was indeed thinking about Qin Mu's words.

However, as the emperor, he was naturally delighted to hear these words.

Zhao Gao is a vicious dog, Zu Long has always known it.

It's just that he didn't know that Zhao Gao relied on his favor to be so vicious.

Therefore, he naturally developed a feeling that he believed in the wrong person.

It must be that Zhao Gao was too cunning and deceived himself, so he didn't investigate for a while, so he let the treacherous officials take charge.

But... Qin Mu's words directly pierced his pretense of self-comfort.

Qin Mu told him mercilessly that Zhao Gao was favored not because he was good at disguising, not because he acted like a loyal minister, but because, you Shi Huangdi just likes to be flattered and flattered!

And these people are traitors!It's a villain!He is a person who knows how to fish and meat the common people!

Zu Long looked back desperately.

He has long known Zhao Gao's insidiousness and viciousness, but because Zhao Gao is the best at guessing his own thoughts, and the best at making himself happy!
Even Meng Yi sentenced Zhao Gao to death without hesitation under great pressure.

What about him?Because of the so-called favor, Zhao Gao was directly pardoned!

Therefore, Qin Mu said that it was his responsibility that Zhao Gao was in power, and he had nothing to say.

After a long time, Zulong let out a long breath.

"Mu'er, I remember you said that the first emperor is the first emperor through the ages! But why are you today..."

Qin Mu shook his head: "Father, Shi Huangdi is an emperor through the ages, but it doesn't mean everything about him is good! Favoring treacherous ministers, this is Shi Huangdi's shortcoming! Cruelty and bloodthirsty are also Shi Huangdi's shortcoming! I adore him, but I will not cover up his shortcomings because of this!"

Zu Long nodded, and Qin Mu felt relieved when he said that.

He had a subtle emotion just now, but now that he heard that Qin Mu's feelings for him had not changed, he felt much more relaxed.

"Mu'er, what you said just now, although deviant, but... makes sense!"

Qin Mu laughed: "Of course. The thinking of each era has its natural shackles. People born in this era can't see such things. This is why the people of Xianyang celebrate so happily."

"Their simple hearts tell them that Zhao Gao is dead, and the treacherous officials who deceived the first emperor are gone."

"Starting tomorrow, His Majesty will return to the first emperor who worked hard to govern and loved the people like a son."

"But they don't know that after Zhao Gao fell, countless people still held back their energy and wanted to become Li Gao, Chen Gao..."

"And they are still eternal mermaids!"

"But Dad, if you stand tall and see far, you must know what I said is right!"

Zu Long nodded: "Some towers rise from the ground, while others collapse in an instant. But these people come and go, but the injured are always ordinary people."

He sighed: "I want to change this situation, but... I can't do it!"

Qin Mu glanced at him: "Father, if you want to change, of course there is a way! For example, overthrow the Second Emperor, establish a new dynasty, and sweep away the evils!"

Zu Long smiled wryly and said: "What about the new dynasty? I... Your Majesty will favor treacherous ministers. Could it be that the emperor of the new dynasty won't?"

Qin Mu was taken aback.

Indeed, this is the disadvantage of the monarchy.

Everything in one!Any point in the king will be infinitely magnified, and their human weaknesses will be thoroughly studied!

How many emperors, when they first took office, worked hard to rule the country and swept away their ailments!
However, in the late period of his administration, he still made foolish tricks and personally destroyed the good situation he had created!
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the Kaiyuan prosperity came because of him, and the Anshi Rebellion was also the root of the disaster.

Emperor Shizong of Ming Dynasty Jiajing, in the early stage, the political affairs were clear and praised by the world, but in the later stage, he was obsessed with seeking Taoism and abandoned the government.

Such things abound in history books!

What the old man said is right, even in the new dynasty, as long as there is still an emperor, such things cannot be eliminated!

However, Qin Mu would not lose his temper and wanted to abolish the monarchy.

In this era, the monarchy is the most suitable!
Many systems in later generations seem to be very good, but they are not suitable for Daqin!

As far as food production is concerned, we all know that people can earn more money by doing business.

But if it is not for emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, how many people will die in a famine?
Speaking of the monarchy, if the Great Qin did not have a strong king, how would the Xiongnu rebel against the border and the remnants of the six kingdoms to suppress it?

Qin II's succession to the throne is a living case!

In this era, not only a king is needed, but an iron-fisted king is also needed!
Even Qin Mu wanted to say that if only Zulong had the will of this Great Qin, then Great Qin would definitely be stronger!

Unfortunately, there are always courtiers like Zhao Gao and careerists like Li Si.

Use your own dark purpose to quietly influence Qin Shihuang.

Zu Long looked at Qin Mu: "Mu'er! Da Qin, I can't stand the next Zhao Gao! You... have always been resourceful, but what's the solution?"

"Have!"

Qin Mu was a little unhappy. Not only did he fail to instigate against his father, but he was forced to offer advice to the First Emperor.

"Two ways! The first is to open up the way of speaking! There are too few censors in the court today, and the role is too small! Relax the evaluation of censors, and stipulate that censors are sparse. No matter what, they will not be punished for their words! At that time , the censor can really play the role of supervising the officials!"

"Article [-], the secrecy system! All frontier officials and confidants in the capital are allowed to submit letters through the secret channel! No one except the emperor and himself can know the content of this memorial! In this way, these people Since the emperor trusts me and is not afraid of impeachment, if I impeach others and get implicated, I will definitely speak freely!"

Qin Mu casually offered two options.

Zu Long's eyes lit up, but after deliberation, he hesitated.

"Mu'er, these two plans seem to have many sequelae..."
