Da Qin: Self-destruction and time travel, I will extend my life for Qin for a thousand years

"You said that the leader of the Maurya Dynasty, Ashoka, would proclaim himself emperor within three years? And change the Maurya Dynasty into a centralized country?"

"How can this be!"

In the Wen family's dungeon, Cui Yuan just said these words, causing Ying Zheng to be extremely shocked.

In fact, it is not surprising that Ying Zheng would be surprised. After all, Da Qin is the only centralized monarchy in the world.

When he communicated with Li Shimin before, Li Shimin also told him that even in the Tang Dynasty, most countries in the world still had slavery.

It can be said that the current system of Da Qin is completely ahead of the times.

The Mauryan Dynasty was so good, why did it start the reform of the feudal system a thousand years in advance?

"Nothing is impossible."

Cui Yuan chuckled and said, "And the reason lies with us."

With that said, Cui Yuan took out a pen and paper and wrote out a list: "Because Wei Bao, Han Xin, Tian Dan and other remnants of the Six Kingdoms have left with them, and they are all in the Maurya Dynasty now."

"They want to use King Ashoka's power to restore the country?"

Ying Zheng's brows twitched, and his doubtful eyes turned cold instantly.

Wei Bao is a descendant of the royal family of the former King of Wei, Tian Dan is a descendant of the royal family of the former King of Qi, and Han Xin is not the military immortal Han Xin who is working as a chaperone at Liucun Castle, but a descendant of the Korean royal family and the future King Xin of Han.

These people are just like Zhao Xie who assassinated Ying Yinman at the wedding. They are all remnants of the Six Kingdoms and would rather die than give up revenge on Da Qin.

They headed to the Maurya Empire, and Ying Zheng could only think of the possibility that they wanted revenge.

"Yes."

Cui Yuan nodded, and based on this, he continued to speculate: "Since it can be confirmed that the goal of these people is to overthrow the Qin Dynasty and revive the Six Kingdoms, then the remaining questions are very simple."

"Because Da Qin is now the most powerful country in the world, so in order to take revenge, they must help the Maurya Dynasty become stronger, and there is only one way to make the Maurya Dynasty stronger - that is to carry out feudal reforms and strengthen centralization of power."

Speaking of this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but think of Shang Yang's reform. It was because of it that the Qin State rose.

And gradually widened the gap with the other six countries, laying a solid foundation for unifying the world.

Whether it was to restore the country or to further centralize their power, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and King Ashoka hit it off on the centralization of power.

"Your guess is reasonable, but why are you so sure that Ashoka will start reforms within three years?"

Ying Zheng was confused by this. Shang Yang's reform lasted for decades. In the end, Shang Yang was liquidated by the angry Qin nobles and was quartered to death by five horses.

It can be said that it was very tragic.

Ashoka actually only wanted to use three years to complete the path that the Qin Dynasty took decades to complete. Could it be that he didn't want to live anymore?

"It's not that Ashoka didn't want to live, but according to the three messengers, Ashoka was an extremely conceited king who pursued results."

Cui Yuan guessed what Ying Zheng was thinking and slowly explained: "In order to suppress the Brahmin forces within the Maurya Dynasty, he introduced Buddhism, a religion that promotes the equality of all living beings, without consulting anyone."

"He also publicly stated that he was a devout Buddhist, and also had Buddhist teachings and his own custom-made laws based on Buddhist teachings carved on mountain walls and stone pillars throughout the Maurya Dynasty."

"Once this kind of person confirms the direction, he will not have any slow plans. He will only want to reach the sky in one step and solve all problems at once."

"So after knowing that the Qin Dynasty became strong due to centralization of power, within three years, he would definitely ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in front of everyone with a high profile!"

……

"From now on, the emperor will dominate everything in the Mauryan Dynasty and will be the most noble person in this land!"

"The Emperor's decision cannot be violated in any way!"

Huashi City.

When Ashoka said these words, the entire royal garden fell into an uproar. The peacocks who were drinking water leisurely on the side were so frightened that they immediately raised their heads, fluttered their feathers and left.

At this moment, not only the Brahmins, but also the Kshatriyas and the remnants of the six kingdoms who were loyal to King Ashoka were all frightened by King Ashoka's decision.

It is natural for Ashoka to proclaim himself emperor. This has been their goal all along, for the Maurya Dynasty to learn from the Great Qin in the East and become a centralized state.

However, it would be too fast to become emperor at this time!

"Wei Bao, Han Xin and Tian Dan!"

King Ashoka calmly looked at the three anxious remnants of the six kingdoms and ordered: "I order you three to prepare to proclaim yourself emperor. If anything goes wrong, you and your relatives will all be killed!"

This!

When Wei Bao, Han Xin and Tian Dan heard this, their faces turned pale.

They have been in the Maurya Dynasty for several years and are very aware of the cruel character of this king.

That was the ruthless Ying Zheng. Compared with his unreasonable killings, he seemed so reasonable.

As long as Ashoka issues a warning, there is no doubt that he will definitely implement it, and it will probably be more cruel than what he said!

Wei Bao, Han Xin and Tian Dan did not dare to refute anything and accepted Ashoka's order.

However, the other Brahmin nobles were not so easy to talk to. After their interests were violated, they all walked out immediately, with cold eyes, and pressed towards King Ashoka!

The cold wind blew unexpectedly, but Ashoka's expression remained calm. The peacock that had been avoiding it immediately retreated into its nest and did not dare to come out.

The atmosphere in the royal garden instantly became tense.

……

"That's it. It turns out Ashoka is such a person."

Ying Zheng knew this, no wonder Cui Yuan concluded that Ashoka would proclaim himself emperor within three years. For such a king who is eager for success, delaying proclaiming himself emperor for one more day would be a sign of impatience.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a similar king, namely King Zhao Wuling.

At that time, the Zhao State was the most likely country to unify the world besides the Qin State. However, King Wuling of Zhao was too eager to achieve success.

As a result, Zhao State was "insufficient in physical strength" and was eventually destroyed by Qin State in the Battle of Changping.

If the original Zhao State could tolerate it for a longer time and wait until its national power further develops, then it is still unknown whether the Qin State or the Zhao State will unify the world.

"The original King of Chuzhuang tolerated it for three years and did not make a fuss before becoming a blockbuster." "This Ashoka will definitely arouse countless voices of opposition if he still implements the imperial system when the Maurya Dynasty is so full of contradictions!"

Ying Zheng almost expected this scene. In order to become emperor, he spent ten years unifying the six countries and killing millions of people.

However, Ashoka was so eager to achieve success without going through bloody purges that he would encounter almost absolute resistance from the Brahmins.

After Cui Yuan's explanation, Ying Zheng already understood the situation of the Maurya Dynasty and the contradiction between Kshatriyas and Brahmins.

It can be said that unless the Kshatriyas completely give up their ambitions, the contradiction between the two will be irreconcilable.

This is indeed the case in historical development. The conflicts between Kshatriyas and Brahmins have lasted almost throughout the life of India.

"Cui Yuan, in your opinion, how will King Ashoka handle this situation? How will he deal with those Brahmins who are attacking in groups?"

"Of course I'm just copying my homework. First I want to scare the monkeys, and then I can divert the conflict." Cui Yuan smiled mischievously.

……

"Don't worry, everyone. For those of you who are loyal to the empire, I will naturally make appropriate arrangements and will not let you down."

Ashoka looked at the approaching people, still very calm, not at all surprised by what happened in front of him.

In sharp contrast to the frightened peacock and the panicked people, his calmness radiated from his bones.

"Besides, it's not entirely a bad thing for you that this king is proclaimed emperor."

Not a bad thing?

The many Brahmins who had surrounded King Asoka all frowned upon hearing this. You are going to proclaim yourself emperor, and you are standing on top of our heads to shit, and you are saying that it is not all bad for us?

"Brahmins, try to think about this."

Ashoka spoke, with the corners of his mouth raised. This was the first time he smiled at this party.

"Although my proclaiming myself emperor will temporarily harm your interests, on the other hand, it will also completely centralize the power of our Mauryan Dynasty and complete further centralization."

"Just like the Great Qin in the East, after centralization, the national power increased rapidly, and finally used this to destroy the six countries and complete the unified hegemony."

"As long as our Mauryan dynasty does the same, then our country's political, economic and military strength will be highly unified."

"At that time, both the Tamil people in the south and the Molava people in the west will surely submit to our Mauryan Dynasty, and even the Qin Dynasty in the east will do the same!"

"At that time, their people and land will be merged into our Maurya Dynasty, and they will become your fiefdoms and wealth!"

"Think about it, how much benefit will you get from it by then? I can even promise you now that as long as you capture the Qin Dynasty, I will reward you Brahmins with 60% of the eastern land. Recognize the compensation for becoming emperor!"

Many Brahmins were immediately moved.

The remnants of the Six Kingdoms had been coming to the Mauryan Dynasty for a long time, and they also knew that to the east of the Mauryan Dynasty, there was a country as big as the Mauryan Dynasty - Great Qin.

Moreover, in order to persuade the Maurya Dynasty to attack the Qin Dynasty, Wei Bao, Han Xin, Tian Dan and others specifically said that the Qin Dynasty was currently in a state of crisis, and the First Emperor was already very old and could die at any time.

If the Maurya Dynasty can make this reform and become stronger, they can directly take advantage of the weakness of the Qin Dynasty to capture the Qin Dynasty, turn the people there into slaves, and turn the land there into their fiefdoms!

Then their status will not only not decline, but will rise further!

After all, what they paid was just an extra emperor above their heads, and what they got in return were thousands of slaves and endless fiefdoms.

I have to say, this is a very good deal.

"No! Who knows the final outcome of this war?"

However, some Brahmins remained awake and yelled at King Ashoka: "All our impressions of the Qin Dynasty come from what you and these yellow-skinned people said."

"We have never had the opportunity to see with our own eyes what the strength of Da Qin is. Who knows whether what you say is true or false."

"What if it is extremely powerful and the first emperor who unified the six kingdoms is not dead? Then if you lead the Maurya Dynasty to attack, aren't you asking us to accompany you to your death?"

His words were immediately echoed by many Brahmins.

The future described by Ashoka is indeed very tempting, but no matter how tempting it is, it is still just an illusion.

Da Qin is thousands of miles away from them. Wei Bao, Han Xin, Tian Dan and others also left Da Qin for several years. Who knows what the situation of Da Qin is now?

If the Maurya Dynasty fails to conquer the Qin Dynasty, then the so-called 60% of the territory will naturally become a joke.

"Ugo Timaro, come here."

Ugotimalo was the name of the Brahmin who raised the question.

Hearing Ashoka calling his name, he walked up with confusion.

However, just after taking a few steps, Ashoka waved his hand, and then several guards with bronze halberds appeared. In front of everyone's horrified eyes, they stabbed Ugotimaro through the chest from behind!

"King, what are you doing..."

"What are you doing!?" Without waiting for the angry roars of the Brahmins, Ashoka stood up angrily, and the two guards also looked determined.

"I'm sorry, King. This old slave made a mistake and committed the crime. I will apologize with death!"

After saying that, before anyone else could react, the two of them took their sharp halberds and stabbed themselves directly in the throat, committing suicide on the spot!

The air solidified instantly at this moment!

……

"First, by drawing cakes, the Brahmins were diverted from their dissatisfaction with their accession to the throne and became emperor, and their anger was transformed into a desire for territorial expansion and conquest."

"Of course, this method will only confuse most people, and there must be smart people who question it."

"At this time, Ashoka will use thunderous means, order his men to kill the doubters, and at the same time let his men commit suicide on the spot, leaving no one to blame!"

"This is the so-called deflection of conflicts and killing the chicken to catch the enemy. Later generations will also call it a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other!"

After listening, Ying Zheng gave his evaluation: "Simple and direct, but very effective method."

Although this method is very rough, it must be said that it is very effective and can suppress the resistance of Brahmin to the greatest extent.

Just imagine, if in front of your eyes, a noble whose identity is no different from yours is killed by "rebellious soldiers", and there are hundreds or even thousands of "rebellious soldiers" around, how would you feel?

"But there are also drawbacks. He just suppressed the resistance of the Brahmins and forcibly prevented the split of the Mauryan Dynasty."

"The Maurya Dynasty at this time was a volcano that could erupt at any time. It only took a spark to erupt."

"Your Majesty is right." Cui Yuan nodded: "So, King Ashoka will attack Qin no matter what, and he will definitely win this battle!" (End of Chapter)
