Chapter 149

In the mouths of the Confucians, it became "burning books and burying scholars"!

I just slaughtered dozens of households around the meteorite in Dongjun!

In the mouths of the Confucians, it became "slaughtering all of Dongjun"!

Damn it!

When Ying Zheng saw these, he was so angry that his beard was almost curling up.

He really wanted to slaughter all these things!

But the pen is in their hands; if you dare to kill randomly, they dare to write randomly!

If you dare to kill one randomly, they dare to write a pile randomly!

If you kill them all, then there will be no official history.

Without official history, it all depends on wild history fabrication.

Ying Zheng has seen how wild wild history can be.

When he was a hostage in Zhao, he once saw a miscellaneous book—he didn't know which bastard wrote it—that actually wrote Pang Juan as a "rabbit" (homosexual), who had loved Sun Bin deeply for a long time and used every means to get him!

"Damn it!"

When Ying Zheng saw this book, he was so angry that he threw it directly into the furnace to burn it!

Later, he read various miscellaneous books.

Some of the "burning books" in the "burning of books" were these things.

Everything was said about him; some praised him, some blackened and scolded him!

Those who praised him said he was the Son of Heaven!

Unifying the six states was destiny!

Those who blackened him said he ate feces and drank liquid when he was in Zhao!

In a rage, he didn't care whether they were praising or scolding, and burned them all.

Those Confucians, in order to scold him, wrote this into official history, calling it "burning books and burying scholars"!

Ying Zheng was angry, but there was really no way!

He couldn't just slaughter the historians!

That really wouldn't work!

If there is official history, people will only treat wild history as wild history, laugh it off after reading it, and that's it!

If there is no official history, then wild history will become official history.

The consequences of this are too terrifying!

Therefore, no one in history has ever dared to slaughter historians randomly!

No one who dared to slaughter historians randomly had a good end!

The most representative one should be the incident of "Cui Zhu killing his ruler"!

The mediocre ruler Duke Zhuang of Qi slept with the wife of the minister Cui Zhu!

Cui Zhu was furious and killed Duke Zhuang of Qi directly!

But the crime of killing a ruler was too great, and he was worried that this would be known to future generations, leaving him with an eternal bad name.

Then, he ordered the historian Taishi Bo: "Duke Zhuang of Qi was a mediocre ruler; now that the mediocre ruler is dead, you write that he died of illness. If you write this, I will surely treat you well! Otherwise, I will not be polite to you!"

But Taishi Bo laughed disdainfully and wrote directly on the bamboo slip: "Cui Zhu killed his ruler!"

Cui Zhu was furious and killed Taishi Bo with his sword!

And because historians were passed down through families, after Cui Zhu killed Taishi Bo, he called his younger brother Taishi Zhong and said: "Your brother didn't listen, and has been killed by me; if you don't listen, I will kill you too! Write that Duke Zhuang of Qi died of illness!"

And looking at the corpse of his elder brother Taishi Bo, his younger brother walked indignantly to the desk and wrote: "Cui Zhu killed his ruler!"

"You..."

Cui Zhu was furious and slaughtered Taishi Zhong too!

Afterward, he called Taishi Shu, the third brother of Taishi Bo, and threatened him by pointing at the corpses of his two brothers!

Taishi Shu didn't waste words and still wrote five big characters on the bamboo slip: Cui Zhu killed his ruler!

Cui Zhu was simply stunned, and at the same time, his liver trembled with killing; were these people not afraid of death?

He was unconvinced, killed Taishi Shu, and called Taishi Ji, also ordering him to write that Duke Zhuang of Qi died of illness!

As a result, Taishi Ji still wrote that sentence: Cui Zhu killed his ruler!

Not only that, he also wrote on what year, what month, and what day Cui Zhu killed Duke Zhuang of Qi and why!

This stunned Cui Zhu, and at the same time, before Cui Zhu could ask, "Are you not afraid of death?",

Taishi Ji spread his hands:

"You kill! As long as you don't kill all the historians in the world, this matter will not be cut off from the history books!"

Cui Zhu was completely desperate, and had no choice but to accept it!

Recalling that history, and then looking at Fu Su's exaggerated scolding, Ying Zheng was really annoyed!

These people are truly hateful!

But seeing Fu Su scolding Ying Su and Li Li Yuanba for being cruel, he couldn't help but be angry again!

What's wrong?

Never mind killing sixty thousand!

Even if he really killed nearly seven hundred thousand, so what?

He killed Xiongnu people, not Qin people, and it wasn't when he was destroying the six states!

What's wrong with this?

When he slaughtered the villagers around the Dongjun meteorite, he was scolded by Fu Su, and he deserved it!

After all, after the slaughter, he had regretted it; it was impossible for all those people to be rebels.

There must have been innocent people inside!

Fu Su didn't scold him wrong for this!

But... the rebellious son Ying Su killed seven hundred thousand Xiongnu people, what was wrong with that?

These were all foreign enemies!

Being able to kill seven hundred thousand Xiongnu people, the achievement is enough to be recorded in history and have monuments erected!

But you, you actually scolded him?

You think he killed too many?

Is there anyone who complains about killing too many enemies?

Ying Zheng was annoyed, and at this moment, he actually stood up for Ying Su!

And what Fu Su scolded was more than just this!

There was also the slaughter of Xiang Yu's forty thousand-strong army, which was also scolded by Fu Su!

"Suppressing a rebellion is suppressing a rebellion; is it necessary to kill forty thousand people until only fifty thousand surrender?"

"Why not persuade them to surrender directly?"

"Ah?"

"Why not persuade them to surrender directly?"

This line of text appeared in the letter, and it stunned Ying Zheng!

Damn it, when the Xiongnu were attacking the Great Wall, why didn't you, Fu Su, rely on your silver tongue to persuade them to surrender?

When the twenty thousand-strong army was killed by the Xiongnu until only a dozen thousand remained, and then fled to Taiyuan City in defeat, why didn't you persuade the Xiongnu to surrender?

Ying Zheng exploded with anger.

However, what made Ying Zheng angry was more than just this!

There was also the matter of making nobles pay taxes!

Fu Su was extremely dissatisfied with this!

He stated clearly in the letter that those nobles were families of hundreds or thousands of years, and no matter how they were now, their ancestors had all made great contributions to Great Qin or other countries!

With this contribution, they could completely not pay taxes!

The Sixth Brother Ying Su doing this is simply going against the heavens!

"This..."

After reading this, Ying Zheng was so angry that his brows furrowed!

Saying Ying Su killed people randomly earlier could still be said to be Fu Su's benevolence, unable to bear seeing people killed randomly!

But this later statement is simply pedantic.
