Chapter 924

687. Chen Pingping: Let the Qing Emperor See What an Emperor Through the Ages Is

"And then? You brat, don't keep me in suspense!"

Fan Jian looked at Fan Xian somewhat nervously. Compared to the stories of the Great Qing, Seeing Ying Zheng's story was too legendary.

Even with Ye Qingmei assisting Seeing Ying Zheng, they couldn't figure out how to win.

A minister who held the power of the court, and was also Seeing Ying Zheng's foster father.

Combined with Seeing Ying Zheng's biological mother, Empress Dowager Zhao Ji, wanting to kill Seeing Ying Zheng.

Ten Ye Qingmeis couldn't stop it.

This already counts as the entire court wanting Seeing Ying Zheng dead.

Chen Pingping also looked at Fan Xian expectantly. He hadn't heard such a legendary story for a long time.

Looking at the elders in the room, Fan Xian proudly showed off his knowledge.

"Everyone wanted Brother Zheng dead. Even, Lao Ai took advantage of Brother Zheng going to offer sacrifices and surrounded Brother Zheng with countless guests and armies, wanting to kill him."

"But they all underestimated Brother Zheng. From the year Brother Zheng inherited the throne at thirteen, he had already decided to unify the world, conquer the four seas, and make the Great Qin the strongest country."

"And all of this first required Lu Buwei to be removed from the court."

"Since inheriting the throne, Brother Zheng began to lay out his plans."

"No one knew how Brother Zheng deployed his forces under the eyes of the entire court, given that Lu Buwei, the minister entrusted with the orphan, controlled the court."

"It is only known that when that day arrived, Brother Zheng forcefully expelled Lu Buwei, forcing him to retire to his hometown. Lao Ai, who caused chaos in the harem, was torn apart by chariots and his body exposed."

"He also locked the Empress Dowager in the cold palace, forcing her to commit suicide, and finally, personally smashed to death the two biological younger brothers born to the Empress Dowager and Lao Ai."

"After doing all this, Brother Zheng became a true lonely man, from then on holding the court alone, without establishing an empress."

"That year, Brother Zheng was twenty-three..."

Hearing this, Chen Pingping and the others felt somewhat heavy. Compared to what Seeing Ying Zheng encountered, what did the Qing Emperor count for?

Such a desperate situation could be turned around. Seeing Ying Zheng's methods can be seen. The key is that he was an emperor who began to lay out plans when he was a thirteen-year-old child.

A lonely man...

The Qing Emperor's loneliness was something he did himself; Seeing Ying Zheng really had no choice.

Even his biological mother wanted him dead; who else could he trust?

His heart was truly dead.

From the moment he forced his own mother to death, Seeing Ying Zheng as a human disappeared. In the world, only the Emperor through the ages, Seeing Ying Zheng, remained.

"Later, Brother Zheng began to unify the world, taking more than ten years to annex the six states. At that time, Brother Zheng was just over thirty."

"The Shenzhou had maintained war for hundreds of years. Brother Zheng used ten years to pacify the world. Since then, the Shenzhou entered an era of peace and unification."

"After unifying the world, Brother Zheng considered his achievements higher than the Three Sovereigns and his virtue surpassing the Five Emperors, so he created the title of Emperor."

"After Brother Zheng unified the world, he unified weights and measures, unified the script, and built the Great Qin's imperial roads. History calls it 'writing the same script, driving the same tracks,' laying the foundation for the unification of the world."

"Later, he built the Great Wall to resist the Xiongnu, consuming nearly five hundred thousand troops. Brother Zheng's famous saying: 'The border army shall not return unless the Han people are at the moment of life and death.'"

"Brother Zheng said bluntly: 'The Great Qin can be destroyed, but the nation cannot perish. Even if the Qin is destroyed, the borders must be stable.'"

"Brother Zheng performed the Fengshan sacrifice and declared..."

Fan Xian paused, his expression solemn.

"'I, in the name of the First Emperor, swear here: as long as I am here, I will guard the territory and open up the frontiers, sweep away the four barbarians, and establish the foundation of my Great Qin.'"

"'When I die, I will also turn into a dragon soul to protect my China forever. Let the sun and moon be the witnesses, heaven and earth be the judges, and immortals, demons, ghosts, and gods listen to this oath.'"

As the words fell, Chen Pingping and the others were filled with respect.

After a long silence, Chen Pingping bowed toward the direction where Seeing Ying Zheng left.

"The Majesty... is the true Emperor through the ages, unmatched by anyone!"

Fan Xian nodded heavily.

"So, Brother Zheng is the white moonlight in the hearts of the Chinese nation."

"However, Brother Zheng personally killed his brothers, forced his mother to death, and caused a lot of slaughter in unifying the world. Later, in order not to let the people be deceived by corrupt Confucian scholars, he burned books and buried scholars."

"In his old age, he sought immortality and made some mistakes."

"He was belittled as a tyrant by those who seized the Great Qin's world in later generations..."

"But Brother Zheng's true achievements are obvious to all. 'Tyrant' is just a slander by later generations."

688. Seeing Ying Zheng, Who Stood Alone as a Nation

"A joke!"

Fan Jian gave a disdainful sneer.

"The Shenzhou was in chaos for a hundred years. The Majesty appeared, unified the world, and gave the people a chance to recuperate."

"Based on this alone, it is enough to be praised for eternity. It is just slander by those who fear the Majesty. Achievements and faults will naturally be judged by later generations."

Fan Xian nodded and smiled:

"That's true. Brother Zheng is a legend in China. In the end, no one blackens him at all."

"Moreover, Brother Zheng's pursuit of immortality in his old age was only for the Great Qin."

"Some say that Brother Zheng's birth exhausted the Great Qin's luck. Brother Zheng's many princes, the eldest prince Fusu, had stubborn thoughts and pushed for the enfeoffment system, which caused hundreds of years of war."

"Other princes were either special in status or even more incompetent."

"The second monarch of the Great Qin, not one could shoulder the country. Brother Zheng had no choice."

"He knew that as long as he was there, the world would be stable and no one would dare to invade, but many people hoped he would die."

"Brother Zheng stood alone as a nation. Once he died, the entire Great Qin would surely fall apart."

"Therefore, Brother Zheng longed for immortality."

"Unfortunately, according to the original history, Brother Zheng did not obtain immortality. After he died, the treacherous minister Zhao Gao tampered with the imperial edict, forcing the eldest prince and Meng Tian to death."

"He supported the cruel Huhai to inherit the throne. This Huhai had no ambition, not only killed all of Brother Zheng's other descendants but was also incomparably cruel."

"Less than three years after Brother Zheng died, the whole world rebelled."

"Later, the Great Qin perished in the second generation... which also fulfilled Brother Zheng's inference."

"It's a pity..."

"But fortunately, the current Great Qin should no longer need to follow the original route."

"Under Brother Zheng's care, the Great Qin will surely flourish. The advantage of standing alone as a nation is that as long as Brother Zheng is there, the Great Qin will not have any trouble."

"Moreover, Brother Zheng is a rare good monarch. He never kills meritorious ministers, nor does he suspect them. In history, the meritorious ministers around Brother Zheng all had good beginnings and good endings."

"So, this is a good emperor."

Fan Jian and the others nodded in recognition.

"The Majesty is naturally a rare wise monarch, and we should naturally assist him without reservation."

"Fan Xian, this is also your opportunity. Remember to go to General Wang and Prime Minister Li to learn more."

Fan Xian gave a grin.

"That's natural. I'm not stupid. If I don't hug such a big thigh, what am I waiting for?"

Chen Pingping smiled and said softly:

"You have your mother's cleverness. Alright, there is a lot of good news today, but I have to go back and reorganize the Inspectorate first, so that it will be convenient for the Majesty to make choices later."

Fan Xian hurriedly said:

"Chen Yuanzhang, let Teng Zijing follow you. I heard from my father that the Inspectorate is the place the Qing Emperor pays most attention to. Now that we are doing these things, the danger is not low."

"Having a Grandmaster follow you is also safer."

"As for me, I won't leave home for a short time. Here, I am safer than anyone else."

Chen Pingping pondered for a moment, smiled, and nodded.

"Then let Teng Zijing follow me for the time being. With a Grandmaster guarding me, I can sleep more soundly."

Fan Jian said with a smile:

"Old thing, you've already recovered, and you still want to sit in this wheelchair?"

"Of course. After all, she made it for me."

Chen Pingping's gaze was gentle.

"Moreover, I want to give that person a surprise... This can also be considered the first gift after she is resurrected."

Cold light flashed in Chen Pingping's eyes, full of murderous intent.

A moment later, he took Teng Zijing and Fei Jie and left quietly.

Fan Xian scratched his head and whispered:
