White Horse Righteousness from 50!
Zhao Gao was stunned when he saw the reward.
In the vast history of the Three Kingdoms, the White Horse Righteous Consort was like a shooting star that only experienced a brief period of glory.
However, this did not affect his strength at all. Even when facing a brave and good at fighting light cavalry 'aristocratic family' like the Xiongnu, the White Horse Righteous Consort could easily crush them.
The first light cavalry in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Just this title alone was enough to explain everything.
"System, where did the fifty white horses come from?”Zhao Gao muttered in his heart.
"Host, the White Horse Servant has not been activated yet. As long as you appear in Jiuyuan County, you can activate the White Horse Servant.”the system replied.
Hearing this, Zhao Gao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Jiuyuan County.
In the northwest of the Great Qin territory.
And that place was currently being harassed by Rong Di.
It seemed that he needed to think of a way to make a trip to Jiuyuan County.
When Fu Su, Meng Tian, and Li Si heard the First Emperor's voice, they were stunned.
"Yes." Li Si was the first to react. He looked at Zhao Gao meaningfully before bowing and slowly leaving Zhangtai Palace.
As for Meng Tian, she quietly pulled Fu Su, who was still in a state of confusion. She gave him a subtle look that told him not to say anything more. After bowing, she left.
After the three of them left, only the First Emperor and Zhao Gao were left in the huge Zhangtai Palace.
"Zhao Gao, are you saying that Great Qin's taxes and corvee are too heavy and that we're too harsh on the commoners?”The First Emperor looked straight at Zhao Gao and said expressionlessly.
At this moment, Zhao Gao's heart was as clear as a mirror.
Obviously, the First Emperor was moved by his words.
This was enough to show that this Emperor of the ages was not deaf to the truth. It was just that before this, no one dared to say it out of fear of his majesty.
Of course, this was related to the limitations of this era.
It was true that Great Qin was the first feudal dynasty in history, but the rulers at the top still treated the people at the bottom as slaves.
This kind of backwardness in thinking meant that the mighty Great Qin would soon collapse.
"Your Majesty, Great Qin has 20 million people, and not to mention the hard labor, just the corvee alone has reached 2 million people. Adding on Great Qin's taxes, it has reached 70% of the population, and the people at the bottom of the social ladder are living a miserable life.”
At this point, Zhao Gao paused and looked at the First Emperor's gloomy face. Zhao Gao took a step forward and met the First Emperor's gaze. He said in a deep voice,""Your Majesty, in the land of Zhao, there is a saying among the lowest class of people.”
"This sentence is, prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer.”(Qianshou, the term used by the Qin Dynasty to address ordinary people.)）
At this moment, the First Emperor's expression changed and his eyes widened.
"The rise and fall of the people are bitter.”
The First Emperor kept repeating this sentence, and his brows furrowed deeply.
"Your Majesty has great talent and great strategy, shaking the past and the present, ending this chaotic world in one fell swoop. His great achievements are comparable to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of ancient times.”
"If Your Majesty's heart is only limited to this, then it's fine. However, if Your Majesty wants to surpass the Three Sovereigns, surpass the Five Emperors, and become the greatest Emperor in the world, then Your Majesty needs to lower your head and look at the people at the bottom of society. You need to ask them how they are doing and think about how to make them live better. Only when they are well can Great Qin become better and stronger.”
When the First Emperor heard the words," His achievements surpassed the Three Sovereigns and surpassed the Five Emperors," he felt as if his heart had been struck by something.
At this moment, his body began to tremble slightly.
A long time passed.
During this period of time, Zhao Gao did not say anything else. He had said enough. He believed that with the spirit of the one emperor in history, he would make the right choice.
"Zhao Gao, do you really think that showing compassion and concern for those commoners will allow me to surpass the Three Princes and surpass the Five Emperors?”Staring at Zhao Gao, the First Emperor asked word by word.
"No."
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, this is only the first step.”
"Outside of Great Qin, there is an even more vast territory and an even vaster sea. If Great Qin's Black Flag can fly there, if Great Qin's territory can expand by several times or even dozens of times, then when Your Majesty's fame spreads among billions of people, even the Three Royals and Five Emperors can only look up to Your Majesty.”
" Really?!!"
"Is there really such a vast territory outside of Great Qin?!!”
The First Emperor suddenly stood up, and his eyes widened as he looked at Zhao Gao.
In his eyes, besides disbelief, there was only passion. It was a desire, a desire to conquer that unknown territory.
