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

Chapter 78 The power of people’s hearts, the First Emperor’s insights
"what happened?"

Under the swaying firelight, Cui Yuan sneered.

He clasped his hands on his chest and scanned the pale faces of all the disciples.

"You all came to the palace ten days ago and kept saying that you wanted to eradicate me, this scourge."

"Why is it that now that the opportunity is right in front of you, you don't even have anyone who dares to compete in the fourth game?"

How crazy!

All the schools of thought changed their minds one after another, especially the strategist who had just died.

But I have to admit that the other party does have crazy capital.

They won three games in a row, completely crushing them and beating them to the point of losing their temper!
Farmers, Taoists, and other schools such as military strategists and famous scholars who did not participate in the competition are all angry and desperate at this moment.

Now how to do?
After the heads of each family glanced at each other, almost in unison, they bowed their heads and saluted the young man.

"Cui Neishi, there is no need to compete in the fourth or fifth games."

"We, the various schools of thought, were wrong in this competition."

"To express our apology, we are willing to jointly donate millions of our family wealth and hundreds of thousands of acres of land."

"I just ask Cui Neishi to open his eyes and leave a foundation for all my schools of thought."

Although I am not willing to give in, this is the only way to go now.

Upon hearing this compensation, all the people watching, the officers and soldiers of Great Qin, Wang Li and even Ying Zheng gasped slightly!
Although it was expected that the various schools of thought would be very wealthy, after all, in the past thousands of years, they were the only ones in the world qualified to study and learn calligraphy, and they had produced countless famous generals and prime ministers in the Seven Kingdoms.

For example, in Confucianism, one can only become a disciple by offering a thousand pieces of gold as a disciple.

But this terrifying amount of wealth was beyond their expectations!
These various schools of thought are really so rich and powerful!
"Please Cui Neishi please be open-minded!"

The leaders of the peasant family, the Taoist family, and the military family spoke again with a sincere attitude.

They knew that this would cause public outrage, but they did not dare to give less.

Otherwise, if Cui Yuan discovers it later, the entire doctrine may disappear completely.

And this surrender is only temporary.

Although the compensation offered this time is large, as long as the people can continue to be oppressed and oppressed in the future, sooner or later they will all be repaid.

"Really boring."

Looking at the desperate people, Cui Yuan couldn't help but feel a little unfinished.

To be honest, he quite likes this kind of competition with his life on his waist, it has an addictive excitement.

But Cui Yuan soon felt relieved.

His main purpose was to regain the various families for the Qin Dynasty, not to destroy them.

If he just wants to perish, he only needs to ask His Majesty to mobilize troops and bulldoze hundreds of families to the ground.

But even so, the cleaning that needs to be done still needs to be done.

"Since you have admitted defeat, I won't pursue it too much."

"But those who deserve to be killed, I will still kill today!"

With that said, Cui Yuan waved his hand indifferently. Wang Lixin, who had been waiting in the audience, understood and immediately brought people up.

It was a middle-aged man with bruises all over his body. He was already dying when he was helped up.

"Who is this?"

"Why is it hurt so badly?"

"he……"

Looking at this miserable man, all the disciples looked puzzled.

Only one disciple of the Strategist Family suddenly changed his expression, and even his body couldn't help shaking. You must know that when the head coach of the Strategist Family died just now, he didn't have such a big reaction!

"Kuai Yue!"

"Why are you so afraid of me?"

"When you first fell in love with my daughter and my daughter refused to obey, you frantically joined the bandits to kill my family and let her be raped to death by those beasts!"

"You even did such an animal thing, why don't you even dare to look at me!"

The middle-aged man cried blood!

"No!"

"Don't listen to his nonsense, I don't know him at all!"

Looking at the middle-aged man who was covered in scars and still staring at him, the Zongheng disciple retreated and denied it again and again!
"is it?
"What about us? Are you going to deny everything too?"

"Kuai Yue, you are a beast who relies on your grandfather to be the leader of the political family. You must pay the price today!"

After the middle-aged man, several more angry victims appeared, exposing to everyone the tragedies committed by hundreds of disciples!

In addition to Kuai Yue, there are dozens of other people involved, including farmers, military strategists, Yin Yang families and even Mohists!
After all, hundreds of schools of thought did not come to Kuaiji more than ten days ago, but started gathering almost a month in advance.

As the initiator of this denunciation, the Strategist was the first to come, and the more crimes his disciples committed, there were thirteen in total!
The forest is so big that there will be all kinds of birds!
Moreover, as rare intellectuals in the Qin Dynasty, Zhuzi Baijia was born different from ordinary people and belonged to the privileged class!

These crimes were nothing in the past, except that a few people died.

After all, no Qin official would be willing to risk his life and provoke the descendants of hundreds of families for the sake of the people who have nothing.

But things are different now. With Cui Yuan taking the lead, His Majesty is in charge.

The power and influence of disciples that all schools of thought were so proud of have now become a complete joke!

In ten days, Wang Li, besides making Rubik's cubes, the most important thing he did was to look for the people who were persecuted by various schools of thought!
Since it was decided to attack the Xiongnu after obtaining the horses and completely pacify the interior, it would definitely set off a nationwide public opinion war.

Since ancient times, Cui Yuan understands this truth all too well.

This competition is the best reason!

"Speak! Why are you beasts so mute?"

"My daughter! She is only 12 years old! Woohoo~"

"Let me kill him! Even if it costs me my life, I'm willing to do it!"

More and more miserable people appeared, not only in Kuaiji County, but also in neighboring Donghai County, Minzhong County, Lujiang County and other places.

Every one of them has been persecuted by hundreds of schools of thought, ranging from being disabled at worst to having their families destroyed.

There are many more who didn’t even come because they died without complete bodies!
Oppression always exists in any era and at any time!
Kuai Yue was confused, there were hundreds of other schools of thought!
They finally understood that not only did they want to plot against Cui Yuan, Cui Yuan also plotted against them!
Moreover, he is even more ruthless and wants to directly dig out their foundations!
Not to mention too much, let’s just say that if these crimes are exposed before our eyes, once they are implemented, at least half of the hundreds of people present will be executed on the spot!

If those who have not yet been announced are added, I am afraid that many people will even be wiped out from the three tribes!

"Cui Yuan, do you really want to kill everyone and go against all the scholars in the world?"

Kuai Yue became anxious, and so did the other accused disciples, each one more angry than the other!
They really didn't expect that even though they had given generous gifts, Cui Yuan would actually want to eradicate it!
"Against the world's scholars?"

"You scumbags are worthy of representing scholars!"

Cui Yuan sneered: "First, he has no merit in defending the country and protecting the land, and second, he has no virtue in treating the people well!"

"Such an unfaithful and unscrupulous wild dog actually has the nerve to call himself a scholar?"

"God knows what you did!"

"Don't say that you are just disciples of hundreds of schools of thought, a bunch of prodigal dogs!"

"Even if you are the emperor, you will die here today!"

The young man’s words resonated with countless people!

"Master Cui, that's a good scold!" "You talk about benevolence, morality, and profound thoughts, but in the end, you do things that are worse than animals. Is this what the so-called scholars of all schools of thought do?"

"Kill them! Chop their bodies into pieces and feed them to the dogs!"

The onlookers made a mighty roar that almost broke the sky!

There were so many bloody tragedies before our eyes, coupled with the young man's impassioned speech!

Even the dullest people are now full of anger towards the disciples of hundreds of schools of thought who committed these crimes!
Countless shouts gathered together, and the fire light swayed, as if even the heaven and earth were trembling!

Even the First Emperor Ying Zheng on the high platform could not help but look horrified at this moment!

These people who were inconspicuous in the past and ignored time and time again are creating miracles again and again today!
First, he helped Cui Yuan defeat the Yin and Yang family through joint voting, and now he is attacking hundreds of families with words and writing!

And this is just Kuaiji County, just [-] or [-] people watching beside the ring.

What if it’s one hundred thousand, or even hundreds of thousands, or millions?

Is my imperial power bestowed by God or by the hearts and minds of countless people?
Ying Zheng looked calm on the surface, but in his heart he fell into deep thought like never before.

But it didn't last long, Ying Zheng raised his head and stood up from the high platform.

"Everyone, all the descendants of hundreds of families who have committed crimes will be punished today, and I will redistribute the land robbed under their names to the victims!"

"It's all my fault that you have suffered so much and been persecuted by these beasts for so long!"

"From now on, if you have any grievances, you can file a complaint with the government."

"If they ignore it, you can come directly to Xianyang to find me, and I will help you make the decision!"

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he bowed and saluted the people in the audience.

At this moment, all the people were stunned. No one thought that the aloof First Emperor would actually apologize to them.

However, soon, a shout was stronger than before, and an unprecedented shouting sounded, soaring into the sky!
"Your Majesty, may you live forever, Lord Cui, may you live forever, and may the Qin Dynasty live forever!"

"Your Majesty, may you live forever, Master Cui, live forever, and the Qin Dynasty may live forever!!"

"Your Majesty, may you live forever, Lord Cui may live forever, and the Qin Dynasty may live forever!!!"

Kuai Yue collapsed to the ground, completely numb!

The few who were excited wanted to take advantage of the chaos and escape.

However, after taking just a few steps, he was captured by the well-prepared Da Qin soldiers, who gave up the struggle in despair.

Mo Fei and Zou Feng also drew their swords, captured all the scum of the Yin Yang family and the Moh family, handed them over to Da Qin for trial, and led the crowd to kneel down in front of Ying Zheng and Cui Yuan.

This competition ended with the defeat of hundreds of scholars and the cheers of countless people!
……

"Cui Neishi, you really gave me another big surprise."

"The king is the most important, the people are the first, and the country is the second. I finally understand this sentence of Mencius."

Under the ring, many people looked excited and cheered for Kuai Yue's execution.

Ying Zheng came down from the high platform with both relief and emotion.

"Your Majesty, are you worried that the power of people's hearts will gather together to overthrow the imperial power?"

Cui Yuan on the side smiled, his robes a little messy.

Just now, he was almost thrown into the air by the excited people and cheered enthusiastically.

Fortunately, he had extraordinary physical strength and was able to escape during the chaos.

Seeing Ying Zheng fall into emotion, he immediately had a new idea!
"Has this kind of thing happened in the future?" Ying Zheng asked rhetorically instead of admitting it.

"It has happened, and it happens a lot, basically once every hundred or so decades."

Cui Yuan said solemnly: "The reason why Great Qin would perish in the original future was because the people's hearts were taken advantage of by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and instigated countless riots."

"The emperor of the Han Dynasty and Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, who destroyed the Qin Dynasty in the future, were both restoration of the Six Kingdoms and peasant uprisings to a certain extent."

"And Your Majesty, do you remember the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang I told you about?"

"remember."

Ying Zheng nodded and asked, "You said he came from 400 years later and established the Ming Dynasty."

He still has a good impression of the Hongwu Emperor, who invented the punishment of skinning and weeding in order to punish corrupt officials.

Maybe the method was wrong, but he was still a good emperor.

"What I want to talk about now is his past."

Cui Yuan paused and recalled: "This Chinese emperor was not born as a prince or general, but an ordinary farmer, a farmer who had nothing."

"what!"

Ying Zheng's calm gaze was suddenly broken!

A farmer can actually ascend to the prestigious position of Ninth Five-Year Plan! ?

"Before the Ming Dynasty, there was the Yuan Dynasty created by the Mongols."

"Those barbarians are so cruel that they hardly regard the people of the Central Plains as human beings, but as pigs and sheep that can be slaughtered at will."

Cui Yuan did not respond to Ying Zheng immediately, but continued to talk, turning Ying Zheng's shock into reality.

"When Zhu Yuanzhang was just able to work in the fields, his two sisters, three brothers and parents died in the famine."

"At that time, in order to quell the rebellion, the Yuan Dynasty had already levied taxes until 100 years later, and all the people were forced to despair."

"Zhu Yuanzhang, who had no choice but to sell all his family property to get a burial ground for his parents, became a monk and became a monk."

"Going around begging with a broken bowl, homeless."

As he said that, Cui Yuan couldn't help but feel emotional.

Looking at the many emperors in Chinese history, Zhu Yuanzhang's status is unique, and almost no one can compare with him.

Even Brother Zheng is just different from him.

"This is the only emperor in history whose peasant uprising was successful!"

"The right person to hold the position has no equal since ancient times!"

Ying Zheng opened his mouth and was shocked: "A peasant became an emperor in troubled times."

“Is this the power that the people’s hearts have?”

He looked at the people's eyes with a hint of fear.

These people can dedicate themselves to building a huge super empire.

You can also completely wipe out this empire when you are desperate!
"The king is like a boat, and the people are like water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!"

Cui Yuan's words made Ying Zhenggang's thoughts stir up waves again!

"The person who said this is also an emperor?"

"Yes, it is Tang Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the Chinese emperor who will become the Khan of Heaven in the future grassland."

"Shh~"

Ying Zheng let out a heavy breath and turned around to meet the young man's eyes: "Tell me, what do you want to do when you talk to me so much?"

"Whee!"

Cui Yuan chuckled: "I want to start a newspaper."
