Ying Zheng's eyes were cold.

He said angrily: "Ji Heng, I am already very tolerant of you."

"I can make plans for you."

"I don't care."

"But there are some things I must know. I am here this time just to ask one thing clearly. What will be the final result of this?"

"You can have your own thoughts."

"I don't care."

"As the master of Great Qin, I must know where the things you have done will lead Great Qin, and whether it can really eliminate this dispute that has lasted for hundreds of years. I don't like to be plotted against others, and I don't like to be kept secret. I."

Ji Heng sighed deeply.

He looked at the First Emperor, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "I really don't know what will happen to the world in the end, and how the world will change. How can this be something that I, a mortal, can peep into?"

"I only know."

"This is the only way Great Qin can go."

"As for how far it will go, it depends on the monarchs and ministers of Great Qin."

"I'm just a guide."

"Furthermore."

"Since His Majesty said it himself, Ji Heng won't be secretive anymore. I have indeed thought about your situation after your death. The reason is also very simple. To untie the bell, you must tie the bell."

"The whole world of Da Qin is tied to you alone."

"same."

"You alone will die."

"Since the Qin Dynasty unified the world, local corvee taxes have not been reduced at all, but have become more and more heavy. The local people are miserable and complain about the imperial court. There are also many local riots and chaos, but they are all suppressed by the imperial court. Moreover, I will escape into your mountains and lakes and become a dead man and a bandit."

"The world is in chaos."

"Although Your Majesty is deep in the palace, how can he really be unaware of it?"

"Before I made plans for Fusu, Your Majesty may have also discovered that more and more local officials are abandoning their posts, and there are fewer and fewer local officials serving. Qin Ting's control over the world is getting weaker and weaker. Otherwise, with His Majesty's desire for control, How can Fusu be allowed to change the world's policies?"

"You actually know everything."

"And you know better about your image in the hearts of people in the world."

"You are a tyrant."

"A true tyrant."

"In just a few years, Da Qin has promoted various policies that are almost as large as those of the past hundreds of years. The collection of money and food from all over the world has reached a point where every baht must be weighed. Da Qin has not lost the support of the people."

"It's completely contrary to the public sentiment."

"Perhaps in His Majesty's heart, this is what must be done."

"I admit it too."

"But the genius has just ended the war and turned around to invest in such a large-scale and intensive project construction. It would be too harsh on the people of the world. They long for the unification of the world, not for another layer of exploitation."

"The world is stable in four words."

"Maintaining stability and development."

"Da Qin has spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to maintain stability."

"in short."

"This is to abolish the ways of the previous kings, burn the words of hundreds of families, and use stupid Guizhou leaders to make the city famous, kill the heroes, gather the soldiers of the world and gather in Xianyang, sell the swords, and cast them into twelve golden figures, so as to weaken the people of the world. To practice Huahua City, the river is a pond, and the city of hundreds of millions of feet is considered solid by the stream facing the unexpected. The good generals are strong and powerful, and they guard the key points; the trustworthy ministers are the best soldiers, and the soldiers are ready to use."

"You don't care about the life and death of the lowest-level people in Guizhou."

"What you want is the inheritance of descendants and emperors for eternity."

"even."

"What you desire more is that you can live forever and rule the world by yourself forever."

"But too much is not enough."

"You only care about maintaining stability, and you don't think about development at all."

"Perhaps this is also the shortcoming of Legalism."

"The Legalists prefer that everything in the world should follow the existing laws and have everyone in the world abide by them, but this is impossible. Therefore, there is always an obvious lag in the laws of the Qin Dynasty. However, as the Zhou royal family weakened, various scholars Since the rise of hundreds of schools of thought, the world has changed."

"Unification is the expression."

"As long as the world is peaceful, social development is the key."

"Da Qin is just a facade."

"No one is satisfied."

"Especially during the hundreds of years of the Great Controversy, during these hundreds of years, a large number of old families fell, a large number of new nobles rose, and many people who were originally at the bottom climbed up step by step through the war. .”

"They may not be qualified to be promoted to the court."

"But at least they have a place in the local area."

"After experiencing the great turmoil in the last hundred years, the people of the world have long formed a consensus that princes, generals, and ministers would rather have their own kind. However, no one has said this publicly yet, but this concept has long been It has become deeply rooted in people’s hearts over the past hundred years.”

"Nowadays, Great Qin's strict household registration system clearly arranges the status of the people at the bottom."

"The hierarchy is strict, row after row."

"Who can really accept that?"

"Perhaps the vast majority of people in the world have no intention of rebellion and really accept the situation, but there are tens of millions of people in the world, and even if only one in a thousand people are unwilling and dissatisfied, there are still tens of thousands of people. "

"People follow the herd."

"Just because they used to possess people, it doesn't mean they are bloodless."

"When a common man is angry, blood will splash three feet!"

Ji Heng's face was serious, with a cold light in his eyes.

He said coldly: "Many people in the world hope that the world will be in chaos, because when the world is in chaos, when all the heroes rise up, even if it is bloodshed, at least it will be better than endless fatigue day after day. "

"and"

"With the world still undecided, who is not the dark horse?"

"It's just that I don't like chaos."

"The reason has been stated many times."

"After Qin unified the world, the world has changed. It is not as polite and polite as it used to be."

"It's a life-and-death struggle."

"In chaotic wars, human lives are like a piece of grass. This is the reality."

"It's just that many people now don't realize it at all, or they don't care."

"But I care."

“The suffering people at the bottom care.”

"Those heads of Guizhou who long for peace and tranquility in the world are concerned."

"So I am willing to help Fusu."

"I know deeply that no matter how corrupt the order is, it is far better than no order at all."

"In this world, destruction is always easier than creation."

"Great Qin has created many things for the world."

"If it was completely reduced to nothing with the fall of Qin, it would be too unfair to the world and the people at the bottom who have suffered for more than ten years."

"The world shouldn't be like this."

Ji Heng stood up slowly, his eyes a little blurry.

He looked toward the window.

There was a faint gleam in the windows.

It's the dim glow of the fire.

"I don't care about these, I only care about the results." Ying Zheng said indifferently.

"Result?" Ji Heng smiled contemptuously. He turned around and said calmly: "The world will gradually maintain stability from the high pressure in the past and move towards steady development step by step. Qin Ting may also be able to completely consolidate."

"It just takes a while."

talking.

Ji Heng looked at Ying Zheng and said calmly: "Since you already know some of my thoughts, I might as well tell you that I have indeed been planning what will happen after your death a long time ago."

A word fell.

Ying Zheng's expression changed again and again. Although he had noticed it a long time ago, his expression changed when he heard Ji Heng admit it.

He stared at Ji Heng, slapping his right palm heavily on the case, and then let out a heavy breath, which gradually subsided. He closed his eyes dejectedly and said slowly: "I have actually seen it a long time ago."

"Zhang Cang's suggestions probably all have your influence."

"and"

"Those are not all."

"It's not even important."

"The so-called increase of income and reduction of expenditure is just to mend things again, and what you really want to achieve is to stop the construction of palaces all over the world after my death, as well as the hundreds of thousands of prisoners in Lishan Mountain, and Send back all the conscripted servants in the world, this is probably your real intention."

"The reason why you don't dare to bring it up blatantly."

"It's because I'm not dead yet."

"Fusu doesn't dare."

"And the courtiers will definitely object."

"I won't agree either."

"So you took a compromise approach and arranged some piecemeal arrangements to make some preparations so that the people of the world know that Da Qin is really doing things and is really delivering on them."

"Is what I said wrong?"

Ji Heng was silent for a while and nodded.

He smiled and said: "Your Majesty's eyes are indeed as bright as fire. This is indeed what Ji Heng thought."

"But not quite."

Ying Zheng frowned, with a strange look in his eyes, and asked, "What else?"

Ji Heng said calmly: "Your Majesty, do you know why the people in the world are so miserable, but the people at the bottom are always gritting their teeth and persevering and not openly rebelling?"

"Why?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Because Qin has always had a tradition in the past." Ji Heng said.

"What a tradition."

"amnesty!"

"Amnesty?!" Ying Zheng's face darkened, showing a bit of displeasure.

Ji Heng said calmly:

"It is an unusual specific type of pardon, and this time the amnesty is broader and covers a wider area."

"Qin has actually always had a tradition of amnesty."

"In the period of King Qin Zhaoxiang alone, there were four times. However, the amnesty during the period of King Qin Zhaoxiang was more like a special amnesty with a specific scope. At that time, the territory of Qin State was rapidly expanding, so the Qin court pardoned many prisoners and turned them into immigrants. To take over those new lands.”

"And it starts with King Zhaoxiang of Qin."

"Almost every Qin king will implement amnesty when he ascends the throne."

"It's almost become a routine."

"In the first year of King Xiaowen, he 'pardoned the sinners and repaired the meritorious officials of the previous king'. In the first year of King Zhuang Xiang, he also 'pardoned the sinners and repaired the meritorious officials of the previous king'. When His Majesty came to the throne, he also issued a pardon order."

Ying Zheng nodded.

He did offer amnesty to the whole world.

This is the tradition of Qin.

Ji Heng looked at Ying Zheng and said with a half-smile, "Your Majesty has been rumored to the world for the past two years that he is in poor health. Therefore, for most of the prisoners in the world, they are waiting for your Majesty to die."

"even."

"His Majesty's death was the last straw for many people at the bottom of the world."

"Millions of prisoners will be released."

"The whole world will become a sea of joy."

"Nowadays, even though the people at the bottom are miserable, they are still gritting their teeth and holding on. They have heard that His Majesty will 'die', and once His Majesty dies, many of them will regain their freedom. Under such circumstances, naturally not many people are willing to go rebel."

"after all."

"Waiting for His Majesty's death will give you a better chance of survival than rebelling."

"Nowadays, there are actually not that many motivations to support the people at the bottom to persevere, and now there is only this one."

"I just hope that your majesty will die soon."

heard.

Ying Zheng's face was as gloomy as water.

He stared at Ji Heng, the anger in his eyes almost turned into substance.

He is the emperor of Qin.

Who in the world dares to say the word "death" to him?

But Ji Heng said it over and over again beside him.

Ying Zheng snorted coldly and said indifferently: "Pardoning the world is indeed a way, but after I unified the world, I have issued laws long ago and cannot grant amnesty easily."

"Fortitude and cruelty are deep, everything depends on the law, and there is no benevolence, kindness and righteousness, and then the number of the five virtues is combined. So the law is rushed, and the long-term one will not be forgiven."

"These people's ideas are doomed."

"Even if Da Qin offers a general amnesty, it will only pardon certain groups of people."

Ji Heng laughed loudly.

The look he looked at Ying Zheng was quite playful.

He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you think too much. You are once the emperor and you are the courtier."

"Your Majesty, you were already dead by then."

"How can a living person be affected by a dead person?"

"You mean Fusu dares to disobey my laws?!" Ying Zheng looked gloomy.

Ji Heng smiled and said calmly: "Why should your Majesty be angry? The Qin Dynasty will definitely grant amnesty, and it will not be only for specific groups of people according to His Majesty's decree, but a large-scale amnesty across the country."

"The scope of the amnesty is far beyond His Majesty's imagination."

"Except for ordinary prisoners."

"There are also dead people who used to hide in the mountains and swamps."

"These people are also within the scope of the amnesty."

"This is a general amnesty!"

"From the beginning of the amnesty, the world will truly turn, from maintaining stability in the past to developing. Now Daqin is already preparing for development. From easing relations with the Xiongnu to building warehouses in Guandong, all of this is preparing for Daqin's future development. bedding."

"The world has been waiting for this moment for a long time."

"And everything Fusu has done before is to prepare for that time."

"It's also to win the trust of the people."

"Tell everyone in the world that Great Qin has changed."

"From now on, the Great Qin will not have such strict laws and regulations, nor will there be so many corvees. It will also allow the people at the bottom to gain more cultivation. As the servants who built the Great Wall return, and the people of Afang Palace After the servant returns, both Guandong and Guanzhong will begin to have expectations for the imperial court, and of course they also hope that His Majesty will die soon."

"And there is only one thing His Majesty can do at the moment."

"Live longer."

"Let the people who are waiting eagerly for His Majesty's death suffer a little longer."

"They can still bear it for now."

Ying Zheng's eyes were uncertain.

Cheeks flushed.

If Ji Heng was not still useful to Da Qin, he would even want to kill Ji Heng.

You should be killed for speaking rudely!

Ji Heng looked calm.

In his eyes, the life and death of the First Emperor were just pawns that affected the world.

He didn't have any scruples at all.

It's quiet all around.
