In the small classroom, Qin Mu, an eleven-year-old youth, was talking about the emperor path that even the ancient saints found hard to admire.
"More than a hundred years ago, Lord Shang came to Great Qin and persuaded Duke Xiao of Qin with the Emperor Dao, King Dao, and Tyrannical Dao. In the end, Duke Xiao of Qin used Tyrannical Dao!”
"Tyrannical, cultivating punishments and laws, enriching the country and strengthening the army, causing the people to be afraid of punishment, using laws to subdue people, and also using strength to subdue people! There was no hatred, anger, crying, sadness, or doubt. He used his powerful strength to make the world submit and even pacify the world!”
"The king's way is to be benevolent and benevolent. It benefits the people and is revered by all countries. Everyone is willing to conquer a place for the sake of the commoners and hope for the king's army! Why is it that the kingly way has declined and people are convinced by benevolence and righteousness? In this chaotic world, it was a dream. In fact, neither chaotic times nor peaceful times could last long. Everyone had selfish motives. The Zhou Dynasty was a living example!”
"Of course, both tyranny and the kingly way can make a country rich and powerful in a short period of time.”
"What about the Emperor Dao?" Ying Zheng asked hurriedly, his eyes full of desire.
Qin Mu smiled slightly and said," The way of the emperor is to love what the people love and hate what the people hate. The whole world is united, but they still refuse to give in. The place where the servants are, the whole world rejoices."”
"Lao Tzu once said in the Tao Te Ching: The best king, the people do not know of his existence; The second king, the people close to him and praise him; The second time, the people feared him, and the second time, the people rebelled against him!”
Shen Yue's pupils constricted, and his expression changed.
"Mister, what level do you think the emperor is?”Qin Mu said with a smile.
Shen Yue hesitated for a moment before answering,"Last class."”
It was indeed the last rank. Otherwise, why would the vassals and the people of the world resist the Zhou Dynasty?
"Then may I ask, sir, how is the current King of Qin?”
"How dare you!"
Shen Yue was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. His face was filled with rage as he pointed at Qin Mu and shouted angrily,""A child dares to comment on the King of Qin!”
"Hahaha, actually, I can see from your face that you are afraid of the King of Qin.”Qin Mu smiled faintly.
"The King of Qin is the King of Great Qin and the future King of the world. It is only right for the world to revere him.”Shen Yue's eyes flickered.
"That's what you think from a domineering point of view. As I said, the King of Qin is second class. The people are afraid of him!”
"Not only the King of Qin, but all the princes in the world are like this.”
When he said this, Qin Mu's eyes narrowed slightly and he said faintly,""With Qin's strength, unifying the world is only a matter of time. However, if it continues to be a tyrannical country after unifying the world, the commoners will definitely resist. At that time, the so-called king of the world will become the last class.”
"Zheng 'er, what do you think?"
Qin Mu looked at Ying Zheng, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
According to historical records, after the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, unified the world, he continued to use tyranny to govern the country and strengthen the punishment, causing the common people to rebel.
Chen Sheng was a living example!
Ying Zheng frowned. He was a smart man, or else he would not have become the one emperor in history. However, he was still too weak at the moment, and there were too many limitations in what he had seen, heard, and understood.
"How long will it take to realize the Emperor Dao that big brother mentioned?”Ying Zheng asked.
"A long time! At least not in this lifetime!" Qin Mu replied.
Ying Zheng remained silent.
When Qin Mu saw this, he patted Ying Zheng's shoulder and said,""You're still young. There's still a long way to go.”
After that, Qin Mu turned around and walked out of the classroom. Shen Yue didn't stop him and looked at Qin Mu's back with a complicated gaze. There was admiration and doubt.
"Just how much more is this kid hiding in his head!”
Qin Mu left the classroom and stretched his back. The solemnity on his face instantly disappeared and became laziness.
"Oh! It was still early, so she should go and catch up on her sleep.”

The capital of the Qin Dynasty, Xianyang.
Zhangtai Palace.
Early in the morning, the Crown Prince, Ying Zhu, Ying Zichu, and General Meng Ao entered Zhangtai Palace.
In the royal palace, the old King of Qin was half-lying on the bed. His face was pale, and his eyes were wandering. He coughed from time to time, looking a little sick.
Meng Ao stood to the side, while Ying Zhu and Ying Zichu knelt in front of the bed.
" Father, your health…" Ying Zhu and Ying Zichu looked at the old King of Qin worriedly.
The old King of Qin sighed and said in a hoarse voice,""I'm getting old."
Ying Zhu and Ying Zichu looked sad. The old King of Qin was already seventy-four years old.
However, everyone had their own fate. The old King of Qin was like a fallen mountain.
"Ten thousand years! Ten thousand years of Great Qin!" Ying Zhu, Ying Zichu, and Meng Ao said in unison.
"Hmph, ten thousand years is enough. That way, I can still see the Great Qin unify the world.”The old king of Qin snorted and said.
"Grandfather Wang will definitely see that day!”
Ying Zichu hurriedly said.
"Alright, I didn't call you here today to tell you how long I can live.”The old King of Qin waved his hand and looked at Ying Zichu with his murky and sharp eyes.
"Right now, what I want to see the most are my two great-grandchildren.”
Ying Zichu's body trembled, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes as he said,""Grandson often misses Mu 'er and Zheng' er. I wonder how they've been in Handan these years.”
"Humph! "The King of Zhao is afraid of our Great Qin and has held Zichu's wife and children hostage for six years. Your Majesty, why don't you let me lead the army to attack Zhao and bring Zichu's wife and children back to Xianyang?”Meng Ao said.
The old King of Qin shook his head and looked at a black-robed and masked guard standing in the corner of the palace. He said,"It's difficult. Although Zhao suffered a great loss after the Battle of Changping, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse.”
"These days, I often have a dream. In the dream, there are two little children who have the aura of gods. They should be around ten years old.”
Hearing this, Meng Ao and Ying Zhu both looked at Ying Zichu.
Ying Zichu hurriedly said,"Grandfather Wang has been working day and night for the country. He should be thinking about it day and night."”
"Maybe, sigh ~"
