Yunyan Pavilion, fourth floor.

The entire fourth floor was surrounded by gauze, fluttering in the wind, and the sound of stringed instruments from the third floor echoed in the air.

"Long time no see! Sit down!"

Yi Huawei looked up at Yi Xiaochuan and then smiled: "Yi Xiaochuan, have you ever calmed down and thought seriously about why there is such a huge difference between you and me now?"

Yi Xiaochuan slowly raised his head and met Yi Huawei's gaze. There was an unspeakable bitterness in his eyes. He twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, as if trying to force out a smile, but ultimately failed. He just responded in a slightly calm tone: "You and I are two people with very different personalities and different pursuits. You are obsessed with power, and I..."

Before Yi Xiaochuan could finish his words, Yi Huawei chuckled, his laughter full of disdain and contempt, and mercilessly interrupted him:

"And you? Humph, you only know how to get lost in those love affairs. Don't you know? You, like me, originally had the ability and opportunity to stand at the top of the world and control the direction of history, but you threw them away so easily. Moreover, you always point fingers at me from a moral high ground, advising me not to become the infamous Zhao Gao in history, but what about you? Look at what you have done? Flirting with Lu Zhi, killing Lu Su, swearing brotherhood with Xiang Yu, and flirting with Liu Bang at the same time, what else is this but a typical double standard?"

Yi Xiaochuan frowned, with a look of embarrassment and reluctance on his face, as if he wanted to defend himself: "I don't want to change history, nor do I want to get involved in the complicated and scheming disputes in the court. In my opinion, there are too many things in this world that are more important and more worth pursuing than power and status. I just want to protect the emotions and freedom in my heart. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Humph!"

Yi Huawei snorted again, his eyes full of disdain, his body leaned forward slightly, his gaze became more aggressive:

"What you call protection is nothing but a cowardly escape. What have you done all these years? You have done nothing. You have all the modern knowledge but have made no achievements. You are like a forgotten dust in a corner, with no sense of existence. You said you don't want to change history, but you clearly know the direction of history. Faced with those tragic endings that could have been changed, you remain indifferent."

"They only talk about love all the time, but never take any real action. When faced with problems, they just retreat and escape.

You often make decisions based on your own personal feelings and preferences, and never think deeply about the impact behind it. Because of your style of doing things, many of your actions are extremely selfish. You have never truly trusted me, and you always want to take advantage of my friendship with you. "

After a pause, Yi Huawei continued, "What you call love is falling in love with every woman you meet. You fall in love with whichever woman is pretty. In the final analysis, isn't it all because of your selfish character?"

Yi Xiaochuan, look at yourself. For so many years, you have been living in those unrealistic fantasies you have woven. For so many years, you have neither protected your so-called love nor made any valuable and meaningful contributions to the world. To put it bluntly, you are nothing more than a complete loser, a poor creature spurned by fate. "

When Yi Xiaochuan heard Yi Huawei's almost harsh evaluation, he felt angry and sad. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said:

"I admit that I am not as powerful as you, and I don't call the shots in the Qin Empire. But I ask myself that everything I have done over the years is clear in my conscience. I have never thought of using the modern knowledge I know to cause killings, to fight for power by any means, and to hurt innocent people. Isn't this much better than your desperate actions for power? Look at those fierce and brutal Qin people. You caused all of this. Look at what you have done. Is this what you want?"

"Yes, that's what I want! It's better for them to bully others than to be bullied by others! Because this world is a place where the strong prey on the weak!"

Yi Huawei's face darkened and he said in a cold tone:
"In the course of history, killing is sometimes inevitable. If you want China to become the master of the world and to prevent future generations from being bullied by foreign races, how can you do it without a strong military force as a backing?

In this world, only the strong can survive, and only those who have absolute power can truly protect the things they cherish. But you, naively think that you can stay out of it, not have to worry about anything, do nothing, and live your life in peace. Your idea is simply stupid. "

Yi Xiaochuan could no longer suppress his anger. He stood up with his eyes wide open and angrily retorted:
"You are clearly just making excuses for your own ambitions. Think carefully about it. How many innocent people have you harmed in your pursuit of power? You use any means necessary to achieve your goals. Have you ever thought that by doing this, you not only changed your own fate, but also brought disaster to countless people. All these tragedies are caused by you."

Yi Xiaochuan's voice became a little sharp due to excitement, and his chest heaved violently. It was obvious that he was very angry about Yi Huawei's words.

Yi Huawei looked at Yi Xiaochuan's angry look, but he was not angry. He just smiled slightly, but there was no warmth in that smile. Instead, there was a sense of coldness. He said with sarcasm in his eyes: "You think you are saving the people, but in fact, your so-called kindness and perseverance are nothing but a mantis trying to stop a chariot in the face of this grand history. I am laying the foundation for China's great cause for thousands of years, but you only see the casualties in front of you. If I hadn't integrated the forces of all parties here, how could the Great Qin have the current atmosphere? How can we talk about resisting foreign enemies and keeping China peaceful?"

Yi Xiaochuan laughed in anger: "Your so-called integration of forces means conquering with blood and violence? Have you ever thought about the resentment and unwillingness in the hearts of those you conquered? Do you think you can convince people with force? This is just sowing more seeds of trouble. Sooner or later, these resentments will erupt like a volcano and turn everything you have worked hard to build into ashes."

“Hahahaha~~, ridiculous!”

Yi Huawei laughed: "I don't need their sincere submission, I just want their obedience. I don't have the energy nor patience to be soft-hearted. Only by establishing a strong order can we talk about subsequent development and prosperity. And you have always lived in your own ideal world and don't understand the cruelty of reality at all."

Yi Xiaochuan looked at Yi Huawei and gritted his teeth: "Your order is built on the suffering of countless people. This is not real order, this is tyranny. If you do this, it will only lead to the demise of the Qin Dynasty."

"At least for this day, you won't be able to see it!"

Yi Huawei smiled and said calmly, "You have attended university, so you should have a broader vision and a deeper and more thorough understanding of things. You clearly know the course of history, and you know about the brutal Five Barbarians period, when foreign tribes invaded the Central Plains and the people suffered. You also know that the tiny country brought unbearable disasters to China, and even put the entire nation on the brink of extinction. You know all this, but you don't know how to use the modern knowledge you have mastered to turn the tide and prevent these tragedies from happening one by one in the long river of history. Instead, you indulge in those romantic relationships all day long. It's really a waste of your higher education."

Yi Huawei spoke at a steady pace, his eyes fixed on Yi Xiaochuan, as if he wanted to see through him, observing every change in his expression.

Yi Xiaochuan's lips trembled slightly, and he opened his mouth to refute immediately, but he felt as if his throat was choked by something, and it was extremely dry, and he was unable to speak for a moment.

Deep in his heart, he certainly had beliefs that he had always adhered to, but under Yi Huawei's series of sharp questions like a knife, those ideas he held seemed so pale and powerless, as if they could be vulnerable.

Isn't it about justice? It sounds like everyone is doing the same thing, but Yi Xiaochuan's justice is just words, while Yi Huawei has put it into action.

Seeing Yi Xiaochuan like this, Yi Huawei shook his head gently, and the mockery on his face became stronger and stronger: "Do you think that what you have done is the embodiment of kindness and the manifestation of justice? Have you ever thought that if the Qin Dynasty cannot maintain its strength for a long time and cannot dominate the world with its absolute advantage, the disasters waiting in the future will only come as expected. From the perspective of the overall situation, your so-called womanly kindness is actually an extremely irresponsible performance."

Yi Xiaochuan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "I just don't want to use violence and power to forcibly change the world. I always believe that human nature is good. As long as we can start from the subtleties, slowly influence everyone, and spread the concept of civilization and peace, then history will naturally develop in a better direction."

As he spoke, he straightened his back and looked at Yi Huawei firmly, even though he knew that the person in front of him might not understand.

Upon hearing this, Yi Huawei couldn't help but sneer: "Naive! You still hold such innocent and unrealistic ideas. You must understand that without a strong force as a solid backing, the reform actions you imagine are like castles in the air without any foundation. With just a slight touch, they will collapse in an instant.

Look at the Qin Empire today. If I hadn't been unwavering in implementing reforms with iron and blood and vigorously developing military power, would the people be able to live such a prosperous life? Would they have such awe-inspiring prestige today?"

Yi Xiaochuan bit his lips tightly and said stubbornly: "Those things I did in the Western Regions may not fundamentally change the overall trend of the world, but they have definitely changed the fate of some people and brought them hope and warmth.

Power often makes people lose themselves. I don’t want to be a puppet or slave of power. I just want to follow my true inner thoughts and quietly influence the world in my own way. "

Yi Huawei laughed loudly, and his laughter echoed in the room. He pointed at Yi Xiaochuan and said:

"Follow your heart? Your so-called heart is nothing but a fancy excuse for selfishness and cowardice. For the sake of your own children's love, for that illusory love, you gave up too many great opportunities to change the course of history. For the sake of so-called personal freedom, you are indifferent to the fate of hundreds of millions of people."

Yi Xiaochuan shook his head: "I still don't think that the path you have chosen is the only correct and irreplaceable one. Power can certainly bring about change, but it can also be like a double-edged sword. If you are not careful, it can bring devastating consequences. I don't want to take this risk."

Yi Huawei still had that mocking smile on his face: "In the long river of history, there has never been any absolute safe haven. Only by constantly striving and fighting can we win a future for the entire nation. So, you are just a complete loser, a small figure who has done nothing on the stage of history. In the final analysis, you are just a loser!"

Listening to Yi Huawei's words, Yi Xiaochuan's face flushed red, veins popped out on his forehead, and he glared at Yi Huawei angrily and shouted, "Why do you say that? Do you think you can judge others at will just because you have power? Just because I didn't fight for power in the court like you, I am a loser?"

Yi Xiaochuan took a step forward, clenched his fists, and said through gritted teeth: "According to your logic, as long as the Qin Dynasty can be saved, it doesn't matter how many innocent people are sacrificed? You have used iron-blooded means to shatter so many families and make so many people live in fear. What you call the future of the nation is nothing more than satisfying your own ambitions."

Yi Huawei was not moved at all, his eyes were cold: "Those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters. For the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty and for the nation to gain a foothold in this chaotic world, some sacrifices are necessary. And you only hide in the corner of the Western Regions, doing small things that you think are great, and you also want to change the world with your theories of influencing people. It's really stupid."

Yi Xiaochuan was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Yi Huawei and said, "You are acting like a butcher, not a hero. Although I cannot control thousands of troops like you, I believe in the power of people's hearts. If the strength of a country comes at the cost of the suffering of its people, then what is the meaning of such strength?"

Yi Huawei laughed: "Human rights? In this chaotic world, only force and power can make people surrender. Do you still think this is your peaceful modern society? You can't change the fate of Daqin, and you can't stop the tragedy of history. And I am working hard to make Daqin the overlord. What about you? You are just a coward who is dazzled by so-called love and freedom."
