Chapter 469
—"That's two different things, Liu Bang's predecessor is Xiang Yu."
—"Liu Bang's emperor position was snatched from Xiang Yu, what does it have to do with Qin?"
—"Oh, can Xiang Yu control the historians of the Han Dynasty?"
—"Too much."
—"Zhang Liang is Liu Bang's person, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are children of the same period."
—"How did Liu Bang's King of Han come about?"
—"Xiang Yu gave it."
—"That was a partnership to fight Qin to have the King of Han, so how can it have nothing to do with Qin?"
—"Actually, some things are obvious. The First Emperor is not called for nothing. Can a person who can unify the six kingdoms be a tyrant? He should be a very wise person, and a person with great wisdom."
—"If you are kind, you can't even be an official, let alone the king who unified the six kingdoms. Do you think you used love to influence the enemy to achieve unification? If you want to have more, both good and evil must be present. If you lack one, you will definitely not stand firm. So it is not accurate to say whether he is good or bad. He did kill many people, but he did unify the six kingdoms."
—"The perfection of the system is very important, and so is the execution. The system of the Qin Dynasty was the most perfect at that time."
—"Some things always have to be done by someone, just like Thanos in the Avengers, even if he is regarded as a villain, so what? Right and wrong have their own conclusions, who is a completely good person?"
—"Means will only be aimed at the enemy and political opponents, and have nothing to do with the people."
—"I am really, really curious about Qin Shi Huang, Fang Yang, please, if you can talk, talk more."
Everyone's curiosity about Qin Shi Huang was unprecedentedly high.
It is estimated that few emperors would be like Qin Shi Huang.
Admirable, curious, and even urgently wanting to understand.
Fang Yang saw that everyone wanted to understand Qin Shi Huang so much, so he continued to talk.
"According to the content recorded on the bamboo slips, from national flood disasters to the appointment and removal system of counties, there are all kinds of things, many of which are not recorded in Sima Qian's 'Records of the Grand Historian'."
"The appearance of this bamboo slip can be said to restore the image of the real Qin Shi Huang in history."
"And about several of his very famous historical events, such as 'burning books and burying scholars', 'Meng Jiangnu crying at the Great Wall', are actually imposed on Qin Shi Huang by later literati."
"Burning books and burying scholars was Qin Shi Huang burning a large number of Confucian books in order to unify ideological culture, but a large number of medical and agricultural books were completely preserved."
"Burying scholars was Qin Shi Huang killing more than 400 Jianghu sorcerers, but later it was rewritten as killing thousands of Confucian scholars."
"And about the story of Meng Jiangnu crying at the Great Wall, the earliest version actually came from 'Zuo Zhuan' in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period."
"It tells that after a great general of the Qi state died, his wife cried at the side of the road."
"And in the Western Han Dynasty, when Liu Xiang wrote 'Strategies of the Warring States', he added the plot of the wife crying at the city on the basis of this story."
305. The emperor who was blackened the most, Han people unify the world?
【Popularity】+1+1+1+1.
……
—"The ability to spread rumors is really too outrageous. Later generations really spared no effort in blackening Qin Shi Huang's image."
—"No matter how blackened he is, Qin Shi Huang's achievements can never be erased."
—"Facts have proved that the role of sprayers and keyboard warriors cannot be underestimated, distorting history and changing history."
—"The emperors who were blackened the most by Qin and Sui, Sui Yangdi created the imperial examination, touching the interests of the aristocratic families."
—"In my heart, the First Emperor is always a person more divine than a god. His wisdom transcends human cognition."
—"The decline of the Qin Dynasty was because Ying Zheng died too early. If he lived for another ten or twenty years, there would be no Liu Bang and Xiang Yu."
—"With Qin Shi Huang's IQ, it means that looking for the elixir of immortality is also true, but it may not be medicine, or other things, or the environment. Maybe this elixir of immortality is just a gimmick."
—"Without Confucianism, maybe the Han people could unify the world."
—"The laws of the Qin Dynasty were really humanized and advanced. Do you think Qin Shi Huang was a time traveler?"
—"Hahaha, it's possible. I really think Qin Shi Huang might be a time traveler."
—"I feel more and more that Qin Shi Huang is a wise king, and his achievements are unmatched, pitiful, really pitiful, actually blackened so much."
—"Without Qin Shi Huang, there would be no Huaxia nation, so why blacken Qin Shi Huang?"
……
The number of people speaking for Qin Shi Huang in the live broadcast room was very large, and Fang Yang was attracted by the content in the live broadcast room as he spoke.
The charm of the First Emperor was really extraordinary.
However, he had to continue what he had to say, because he felt that if he stopped suddenly, others would probably not be satisfied.
"Just talked about the plot of the wife crying at the city added in 'Strategies of the Warring States', and then to the Tang Dynasty poet Guan Ti who wrote a poem, this time he put the background of this story directly into Qin Shi Huang building the Great Wall."
"Later, another poet in the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem, and he directly crowned this wife with the famous name Meng Jiangnu, describing that after Meng Jiangnu's husband died of exhaustion from building the Great Wall, Meng Jiangnu's sad tears dried up and she directly cried the Great Wall to collapse."
"So this story of Meng Jiangnu crying at the Great Wall actually had nothing to do with Qin Shi Huang at the beginning."
"It is just the result of the evolution of literati adding salt and vinegar generation after generation."
"This is the so-called spreading rumors."
"I know everyone is very angry about this, and even speaking for Qin Shi Huang, actually I am also very angry."
"You know, in these bamboo slips, it is clearly recorded that corvee workers were paid when building the Great Wall."
"Even criminals would not work for nothing, they had to be paid, eight coins a day."
"And in the Qin official grain ticket calculation, one tael of money can buy 4 catties of millet."
"Corvee workers get eight coins a day, which is completely enough to support their families, and can even be said to be generous."
"Qin Shi Huang certainly couldn't have imagined that he would be blackened for thousands of years after his death, but even so, only Qin Shi Huang unified weights and measures, unified carriages, unified writing, and unified the six kingdoms."

—"Before promoting Qin Shi Huang as a tyrant, I don't know why, I never thought he was a tyrant, and I even liked him very much."
—"To put it bluntly, ancient people spread rumors at that time, because there was no internet, no mobile phones, no computers, and there was no way to refute rumors at all."
—"It is recommended to include this content in primary and secondary school textbooks to clear Qin Shi Huang's name."
—"This story tells us that what we see and hear is not necessarily true, and what we learn is not necessarily a fact."
—"Actually, it is not surprising that Qin Shi Huang was blackened. After all, Qin Shi Huang destroyed the six kingdoms at that time, offending too many people, especially the literati of the six kingdoms, using pens as swords, which is killing people and punishing hearts."
—"Qin and Sui have a common feature, both are unstable unification after long-term war and strife."
—"Actually, Qin Shi Huang is just Legalist thought, he likes the system, but this does not mean he has no human touch."
—"Before, he was always promoted as a tyrant, but I just like him. Just because he unified the six kingdoms, I think he is very amazing."
—"I once thought that archaeology and tomb robbing were no different, but now I understand, maybe this is the meaning of archaeology, verifying classics and supplementing history, clearing the name of history and historical figures."
—"He unified currency, unified weights and measures, implemented monogamy, used pottery figurines instead of living people for burial, the Qin army had strict military discipline that the era did not have, so he could unify the six kingdoms."
—"Although I don't know if Qin Shi Huang's search for the elixir of immortality is true or false, he just wanted an elixir of immortality, why didn't he give it to him? If he gave it to him, I wouldn't have to learn English. He had many ideals that were not realized, and he didn't establish a queen in his life!"
—"Aren't textbooks still blackening Qin Shi Huang now?"
—"Because most people now are Confucianists."
—"The First Emperor had Huaxia civilization in his heart. He said that the Qin Dynasty could perish, but our Huaxia civilization would be passed down for ten thousand generations."
—"You don't have to blow Qin Shi Huang so amazingly, he is not that good, corvee is too heavy is a fact, like Epang Palace, Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, Great Wall, Terracotta Warriors, it's no wonder the Qin Dynasty perished."
—"Look at the root of things, Qin Shi Huang moved the interests of the gentry and the remaining nobles of the six kingdoms, which is the root of the Qin destruction, and the ones who abused the people were those nobles and gentry. If Qin Shi Huang was a tyrant, he should have killed all the remnants of the six kingdoms' nobles, and not give them any chance."
—"Is the person above the person above blind? Didn't Fang Yang just say that? Qin Shi Huang paid wages, just like now, I wish I could engage in large-scale construction every day, so I could earn a lot of money, it would be best to dismantle the Great Wall and rebuild it again, I guess even if I want to go to repair the Great Wall now, I don't have the qualifications."
—"Han replaced Qin, Han's records of Qin through 'Records of the Grand Historian' will have some bias."
—"Alas, not all literati have backbone, only a small part has, so history still has to rely on archaeology to restore the truth."
—"Actually, even without bamboo slips, what we already know can prove that Qin Shi Huang is a wise king. The things he left behind have been used for thousands of years, and will continue to be used in the future."
—"Qin Shi Huang is awesome! Without Qin Shi Huang, there would be no Huaxia ethnic group passed down for thousands of years."
306. Multiplication table, Huaxia country needs you!
When Fang Yang introduced Qin Shi Huang and the laws written by Qin Shi Huang, those archaeological experts arrived late.
They already knew Fang Yang would come before they came here.
Even able to get the favorable news of the unearthed cultural relics for the first time, they watched Fang Yang's live broadcast on the way here.
Whether they knew Fang Yang or not, on the way here, they already had a very big understanding of Fang Yang.
The director of the Cultural Relics Bureau of this city shook Fang Yang's hand vigorously.
"Fang Yang, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, we might have missed the Qin Shi Huang bamboo slips unearthed this time for a long time."
One sentence that was not explicitly stated was that perhaps they might miss this cultural relic forever.
After all, they had excavated when they were demolished before, and later the Cultural Relics Bureau and archaeological experts also came here to excavate many times, but they never got useful information.
If they really determined that there was nothing here later, and rebuilt buildings here after demolition, years, decades, hundreds of years, I am afraid no one would discover these cultural relics. ===== CHAPTER 470 =====
