Chapter 1052
While anti-social behavior rebels against the people.
Qin Mu had raised the status of the people to an unprecedented height.
After understanding this point, Bao Zheng no longer struggled with the previous problem.
Instead, he was filled with admiration for Qin Mu.
Never in history had an emperor been willing to value the people so much.
Understanding this point also meant understanding the Emperor's coldness.
This was the first case of anti-social crime, and it must be handled with thunderous means, a swift strike, without any dragging of feet.
Bao Zheng, in front of the South Gate city tower, carefully recalled this scene.
These... should all be recorded in history books and passed down for ten thousand generations, right?
I wonder how future generations will comment on it?
Bao Zheng looked at the sky; it was exactly noon.
He threw the golden execution order in his hand to the ground.
"Execute!"
The executioners raised their blades in unison.
Crack!
Heads rolled down from the city wall, and over a thousand blood fountains surged simultaneously.
For a time, the air was filled with a scarlet blood mist.
Under the sunlight, it formed a magnificent blood rainbow.
The scene was overly heroic!
"Great Qin for ten thousand years!"
"Your Majesty for ten thousand years!"
The people's emotions, like a dam breaking, were all released in this instant.
They had been oppressed by the clans for too long.
Children from poor families were told from the time they could remember that they had to be honest and dutiful for their whole lives.
Born into what kind of family, do what kind of work.
You cannot have dreams!
You cannot turn your life around!
The only thing you can do is live like an animal and have more children when you have nothing to do.
After having children, they will continue to work for the elite in the future.
This was the entirety of most of their lives.
Before, they didn't understand and thought it was fate!
Now, after seeing the Wang clan being executed collectively, they finally understood.
The so-called fate was all deliberately arranged for them by those clans.
It turns out they could also... live with hope!
"Overthrow the clans!"
"Are kings, nobles, generals, and ministers born with a special seed?"
"Humble students must also produce noble sons!"
"Refuse bullying by connections!"
This sound traveled from South Street all the way into the deep palace.
A profound and unfathomable smile appeared on Qin Mu's face.
This was a revolution aimed at subverting the elite.
In successive dynasties, the saddest thing was that the elite enjoyed privileges with justification, and the people defaulted to it.
Qin Mu wanted to subvert it!
Let the people of the world begin to realize that privilege is not bestowed by Heaven, and people should be born equal!
The Wang clan was executed.
It even made some small neighboring countries feel fear.
Thrones and some high titles are passed from father to son; nothing could be more normal.
Does such inheritance count as blocking the advancement channels for humble students?
If you calculate it this way, wouldn't the kings of various countries be the first to be killed?
Could it be that the Great Qin Huang's final throne will not be passed to his own son?
This is impossible!
Some small foreign countries couldn't grasp Qin Mu's thoughts and lived their little lives in fear.
They were afraid that one day, the Great Qin would suddenly want to judge them, these small kings.
But they didn't have the guts to confront the Great Qin.
They could only find a few powerful countries and ask them to probe the Great Qin's intentions on their behalf.
Do these small kings and nobles count as having committed an anti-social crime?
In Changancheng, the news of the public execution of the Wang clan also reached the Great Tang.
Li Er heard it and was very surprised.
He never expected that Qin Mu would pull such a move!
It was one thing to publicly execute the Wang clan, but he also gave them an anti-social crime!
Looking at this crime, the Great Qin intended not to let a single one of the four great clans go!
Li Er was also somewhat terrified and specifically summoned Fang Xuanling to discuss this matter.
"Xuanling, how could Qin Mu think of a crime like anti-social behavior?
Tell me, did he use this crime to kill the Wang family with some other hidden purpose behind it?"
Fang Xuanling had dealt with Qin Mu many times.
In the entire Great Tang, if you want to talk about who understands Qin Mu best, it is only Fang Xuanling.
When Fang Xuanling first heard about this, he also thought about it at home for a long time.
At this moment, he stated his deduction.
"Your Majesty, this is a strange crime that has never appeared in history.
However, the Great Qin Huang always does things unconventionally.
I believe this matter not only served as a strong deterrent to the great clans,
but even more terrifyingly, it sparked discussions among the people that were like a flood or a beast!"
Li Er sat in the deep palace and was not clear about the situation among the people...
"Oh?
Tell me, how are the common people discussing it?"
Fang Xuanling looked up at Li Er.
Although he was very worried about making him vomit blood, this was a major national matter, and he couldn't not say it.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Your Majesty, this anti-social crime is being cheered by the people.
The people seem to be eager to see the clans suffer."
Li Er's expression was slightly disappointed.
He had originally fantasized that Qin Mu's approach would lead to criticism from the people of the world.
Now the fantasy was shattered.
But it wasn't too surprising.
After all, this anti-social crime was aimed at the great clans, and the ordinary people were the beneficiaries of this law.
"What do the common people know about governing the world?
They just like to watch the excitement and follow along with some blind noise."
Fang Xuanling looked at Li Er again.
He found that he didn't seem to have realized the true influence of this matter yet.
He further reminded him:
