Chapter 9
"Diligence is the most basic, but even if you are diligent, you can’t be considered a good Emperor, for example, King Fuchu of Chu, he is diligent enough, but he slaughtered nobles and slaughtered people! Can he be considered a good Emperor?"
"The people of Chu have already cursed him to pieces!"
"It’s even harder to become a good Emperor praised by everyone!"
"After all, the interests of all parties are different, want to make the world praise, how is it possible?"
"You want to rule through slaughter, this is no problem, after all, you have this ability, but don’t you think about the consequences of doing so?"
"In the past, although Prime Minister Lu Buwei bullied me, this person had real talent and learning, and I have always thought that what he said was very reasonable!"
"Slaughtering all the soldiers and civilians of the six states, with no one to farm the land, even if such a world is unified, what is the meaning?"
"So, I agree with him abolishing the military merit system and changing killing for merit to land-seizing for merit!"
"I think that what he did is beneficial to the country and the people!"
"Similarly, when an Emperor is done well, it is supreme power, but when an Emperor is not done well, it is the destruction of the country and the race!"
"Don’t look at the fact that you now have such a fierce man as Li Li Yuanba!"
"But... you have to know, you will die, and this Li Li Yuanba will also die, no one will dare to touch you before you die!"
"But what about after you die?"
"After you die, the whole world will rebel against you, what will you do then?"
"Could it be... that Great Qin will only finish this generation in your hands?"
"No! This is not the Great Qin I want!"
"The Great Qin I want is a Great Qin for ten thousand generations!"
"Great Qin’s descendants, endless!"
"Therefore, your father will build the Great Wall and the Efang Palace!"
"This is laying the foundation for the Great Qin for ten thousand generations!"
"What about you? Can you guarantee this?"
"Can you let the Great Qin foundation pass on for ten thousand generations?"
At this very moment, after Ying Zheng finished speaking, his gaze stared fixedly at Ying Su!
Ying Su also looked at Ying Zheng!
For his words, Ying Su could understand.
And, he agreed completely!
Yes, just as he said, just as Lu Buwei said, ruling through slaughter can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause!
If you kill too many people, you will eventually invite revenge.
Even if you are alive and no one dares to touch you, you will die, right!
After you die, will the people of the world not dare to rebel against you?
All this, Ying Su agrees!
And for some of Ying Zheng’s behaviors, he also agrees!
Just as he said, building the Great Wall and the Efang Palace, all are aimed at the Great Qin’s ten-thousand-generation foundation!
Although there is no profit to be seen now!
But in the future, the profits will be huge!
Even... later generations established the soul of a nation because of this!
Ying Su agrees with these words very much.
But... all this is not the point Ying Su is concerned about!
What he really wants to know is what Ying Zheng wants to do.
But... in these words, there is no meaning in this regard at all!
Simply, he stopped guessing and waved his hand directly:
"Just say it directly, how can you be willing to pass the throne to me?"
Ying Zheng’s gaze was sharp, he stared at Ying Su for a long time, and then said angrily:
"Your decree of succession, I will not recognize!"
"Because, that is not my intention, even if you stamped my personal seal, I will still announce your rebellion to the people of the world!"
"I will tell you clearly, as long as you don’t kill me, then no matter how many seals you stamp, it is useless!"
"But you said one thing right, I don’t understand you, and I don’t know about your ability, therefore, I can’t just let you succeed to the throne!"
"But... I am willing to give you a chance, let you supervise the country for three months, after three months, if you can really make me feel satisfied, then I will pass this throne to you!"
"Similarly, these three months, I will also let you feel the difficulty of being an Emperor!"
"What do you think?"
He asked, and at the same time couldn’t help but let out a light sigh of relief!
Yes, after paving the way for so long, he finally said these words.
And this is also a compromise he thought of after thinking for a long time!
Similarly, this is the limit he can accept.
First, give Ying Su a chance to see his performance!
Second, he also uses these three months to see how he can deal with Li Li Yuanba!
In this world, people have weaknesses!
Li Li Yuanba?
He must have them too!
If Li Li Yuanba is solved, why worry about not taking down a Ying Su?
This is retreating to advance!
Also called a delaying tactic!
In his view, if Ying Su wants to get his recognition, there is no reason not to agree to his proposal!
However, as soon as he said this, Ying Su laughed:
"Emperor, oh Emperor!"
"It seems that you still don’t recognize the situation!"
"The current situation is not that I am begging for your recognition!"
"But... I am seeking a way out for those Great Qin founding heroes who are loyal to you!"
"For example, Wang Wang Jian, Meng Tian, if I really follow my way, won’t they come to clear the crisis?"
"They came to clear the crisis, should I kill them or not?"
"Kill them? You will feel heartache!"
"Don’t kill them? They rebelled against me and I don’t kill them, then what prestige do I have as an Emperor!"
"My behavior is to prevent them from doing stupid things, to let them live!"
"Do you really naively think that if you don’t recognize me, I can’t be Emperor?"
"Don’t worry, I will definitely become Emperor in my own way!"
"As for what you said about ruling through slaughter and disturbing people’s hearts?"
"Heh... let it be disturbed, what can you do?"
"I have Li Li Yuanba in hand, who dares to rebel against me?"
"Great Qin will perish after me?"
"Doesn’t exist, because... before I die, I will definitely kill everyone who has the intention to rebel!"
"I won’t even leave them a chance to rebel, how can they rebel?"
"These people in the world, aren’t they like leeks, kill one crop and another will grow?"
"And, do you really think I would be stupid enough to kill indiscriminately?"
"Lu Buwei said one thing right, the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit!"
"If I can make everyone in the world profit, then who would be full and bored, thinking about rebelling against me all day?"
"So, Emperor! You are overthinking!"
"Even without your recognition, I can sit firmly on the throne!"
"But in the early stage of sitting firmly on the throne, because people’s hearts are not convinced, it must be a river of blood!"
"And I use my way, kill until it becomes a river of blood, and I can also sit firmly on the position of Emperor!"
"And in the early stage of sitting firmly on the throne, I can’t guarantee who will die, but those who are loyal to you and must quell the rebellion for you will definitely die!"
