"In your own way?"

Seeing Ying Zheng was shocked, but equally puzzled:

"What way of yours?"

Facing Ying Su's gaze narrowed:

"Kill!"

"Kill?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Seeing Ying Zheng was shaken, his scalp tingling!

Facing Ying Su went on:

"Whoever disobeys, kill them!"

"Whoever refuses to submit, kill them!"

"Kill until heads roll like a river!"

"Kill until no one dares refuse to submit!"

"This is my way!"

"If Father Emperor wishes to see the sight of Xianyang City drenched in blood, then keep shielding your private seal like this!"

"Li Li Xuanba, come back!"

As Facing Ying Su spoke, in an instant, Li Yuanba returned!

And even though Li Yuanba had already left!

Seeing Ying Zheng was still trembling with fear!

At this moment, he was afraid of Facing Ying Su's method!

Kill!

Rule the realm through killing!

This is true rule through killing!

Kill until everyone submits!

Kill until everyone is afraid!

At this moment, he truly wanted to ask Facing Ying Su one thing: with so many people in the realm, can you kill them all?

But before the words could leave his mouth, he shook his head!

If it were anyone else, it would certainly not work!

But this is Li Yuanba!

Not to mention he had already witnessed Li Yuanba's terrifying nature in the dream.

Just now, that single hammer strike that made the palace tremble and split a great fissure in the earth had already shocked him immensely!

Besides... this is his own Outside Xianyanggong — without the king's command, no one could enter at will.

The fact that he could stand here already said everything.

Especially since so much time had passed and Zhao Gao hadn't called anyone in to protect the emperor — everything has already pointed to one problem!

Inside Outside Xianyanggong, there were no more soldiers!

The fifty thousand men had very likely been slaughtered by him to the last!

He was shaken, his scalp tingling!

But equally, he could not help but ponder Facing Ying Su's words!

Rule the realm through killing — kill those who refuse to submit!

If it were like that... forget the whole realm, just speaking of Xianyang City, how many would have to die!

And the vast majority of those who died were loyal to him!

He was terrified in his heart, and equally, he did not doubt in the slightest that Facing Ying Su could carry it out!

He could even bring himself to rebel — what is there that he would not dare do?

Seeing Ying Zheng's fury surged to the heavens!

However, no matter how angry, at this moment, he had no choice but to suppress his rage and begin considering how to handle the matter!

He closed his eyes, thought for a long while, and finally spoke, asking Facing Ying Su:

"Do you still possess a shred of humanity? Do you still regard me as your father emperor?"

As he asked, those eyes stared fixedly at Facing Ying Su!

And the moment Facing Ying Su heard this, he burst out laughing on the spot!

Just how far must he have pushed Seeing Ying Zheng!

How far must he push him before he would be willing to bring up humanity and familial affection with him?

If it were anyone else, that would be that!

But this is Seeing Ying Zheng!

What an overbearing man he is — when he wanted to annihilate the Six Kingdoms, did he ever ask whether those six kingdoms were willing?

When he destroyed the Six Kingdoms, when has He Ceng ever spoken of humanity or familial affection?

The Six Kingdoms exhausted every means against him, including attempts to move him through familial sentiment — but did any of this work on Seeing Ying Zheng?

Completely useless!

Still destroyed, destroyed all the same!

It's just like Ying Ba — when he was swaggering about, when has he ever bothered with reason?

Only when you push him to a certain point will he talk reason with you, using humanity, using morality to constrain you!

The two really are far too alike!

Recalling the afterlife, and comparing it to the present.

Facing Ying Su couldn't help but laugh out loud!

But at the same time, he also made his stance clear to Seeing Ying Zheng:

"Father Emperor, if you have something to say, just say it directly. No need to beat around the bush like this. Although I am your son, you probably don't really understand me. I am not Big Brother — I really don't fall for this!"

"So don't try to morally blackmail me, it's useless!"

PS: Begging for flowers, begging for review tickets!!!

009. Ying Zheng: I shall proclaim the edict for you!

At this very moment, Facing Ying Su was laughing!

He laughed at Ying Zheng — as the First Emperor, he actually still had a side that played the emotional card and was cunning.

But on second thought, it was only normal.

After all… he had walked his way out of hardship.

Back then in Zhao Guo, had he not been a little more cunning, who knows how much suffering he would have had to endure.

Later, when he returned to Qin and faced Lü Buwei's oppression, had he not been a little more cunning, how could he have taken back political power?

But… pulling this trick on him — he had miscalculated!

Because he simply did not fall for this sort of thing!

And Ying Zheng's head buzzed with a faint ring.

In that instant, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on!

That's right — he had originally wanted to play the family card with him, but now it seemed completely useless!

But this wasn't a big deal; the family card was only a probe and merely a setup for the decision that followed.

What came next was the real point!

He stared at Facing Ying Su for a long while, then opened his mouth and said:

"This one knows that you want to be Emperor — not just you, anyone would want to!"

"The Emperor stands on high, admired by ten thousand men, praised by ten thousand men!"

"One word decides life and death, one word can throw the world into turmoil!"

"Such power and authority — who would not love it?"

"But do you truly think being Emperor is that easy?"

"You must understand, being Emperor is easy — as long as your fate is a little better, anyone can do it. Take Han King An, take Wei King Jia — those kinds of kings, even putting a pig on the throne would do better than them!"

"However… being a good Emperor is not easy!"
