Throughout the history of Huaxia, it has always been a situation where multiple vassal states coexisted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as for this kind of unification of the world, although it was proposed during the time of Shang Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, it was merely a theory!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who truly put it into practice was the First Emperor, Ying Zheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was he who unified the world;

this is easy to say, but how difficult is it to actually implement!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did Ying Zheng enforce strict laws?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn't it because the hearts of the people of the six states were not won over, and he had to use harsh criminal laws to restrain them so they wouldn't dare to rebel?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the laws were to be relaxed, wouldn't that provide a natural convenience when the nobles of the six states rebelled?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And making the nobles pay taxes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Su has a headache again and again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these problems are truly too big.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanting to do it is very difficult!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanting to do it well is even harder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this very moment, it is not just Ying Su who has a headache over these matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Liang and Li Si are arguing incessantly over these issues!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, they were quite polite, only discussing state affairs, but later it escalated to personal attacks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, they are already pointing at each other’s ancestors and cursing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Si curses Zhang Liang’s grandfather for being incompetent in governing, and the Han State he belonged to was a waste—a waste of a monarch, a waste of a prime minister, and a waste of a country, thus squandering a perfectly good Han State!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Liang curses Li Si, saying the reason he protects the nobles is because he, Li Si, is a noble himself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Li Si was able to sit in the position of Prime Minister entirely by relying on the support of that large group of nobles behind him, which is why he is fighting to the death to protect the interests of the nobles!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two are arguing incessantly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are even... about to start fighting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Su has a splitting headache!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was at this critical moment that Xiao He, who had not spoken until now, finally opened his mouth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, I believe that Zhang Liang is right.
