Later generations said that Qin Shi Huang's sin was in the current generation, and his merit was in the future.
Among them, the 'sin' mostly referred to the fact that the First Emperor did not rest with the people.
There weren't many records of Qin Shi Huang indulging in sensual pleasures.
After all, Qin Shi Huang had never even appointed an empress in his life.
However, Qin Shi Huang did not appoint an empress not because he did not like women, but because he was very worried about the power of the harem, so he did not appoint an empress.
In the Great Qin Empire, only the country's madam was the revered harem.
Back to enjoyment…
Looking at all the emperors in China's 5,000 years, almost every famous ruler would tend to enjoy themselves in their later years after they became wise and powerful. They would do what they liked.
Ying Zilie expressed that he could understand. As an emperor who held all the power in the world, he was a wise ruler who created the Nine Provinces Prosperity!
This was a very difficult thing to do!
He had the energy to work hard when he was young!
When one was older, they would naturally think of happiness.
Ying Zilie pointed out the First Emperor's debauchery not purely to criticize him.
His goal was very clear, which was to get the First Emperor to agree to read out the abdication edict he had personally written.
First, he had to kill the first emperor's spirit!
It was difficult to break through.
This was because all rulers had a bad habit, and that was to correct their mistakes and not admit their mistakes!
He refused to admit it!
Only when it came to women... he was absolutely accurate.
The reason was simple.
As the ruler of the world, if he didn't like beauty, then what was good?
Was Long Yangzhi good?
During the Warring States Period, King Wei Anli liked the legendary Duke of Long Yang very much. It was said that Duke of Long Yang was even more handsome and beautiful than women…
To put it bluntly, she was still beautiful.
In life, there are always things that one likes.
Ying Zilie used this as a breakthrough point to break the deadlock of the negotiation. It was an excellent political move.
After all, how could he not play some tricks if he wanted the one emperor to admit his mistake personally?
……
At this moment.
"Zilie, you're exaggerating!"
"Father knows what you really want to say. I have too much ambition, too much corvee, and too strict laws…" The First Emperor said after a pause.
Hearing this, Ying Zilie's eyes immediately lit up with joy.
After the breakthrough was made, it would be easier to talk.
Clearly, the First Emperor had also reflected on this.
After all, Qin Shi Huang was a king who had toured the world five times. He knew the advantages and disadvantages of his policies.
"Zilie, you're still young. You don't know what it means to live for 50 years.”
The First Emperor sighed with emotion." I returned to Qin at the age of ten. I ascended the throne at the age of thirteen. I was crowned at the age of twenty-two. I unified the world at the age of thirty-nine." Now…I am already forty-nine years old.”
To be exact, in just a few months, the First Emperor would be over fifty years old!
In the Warring States Period, the average age was 30 to 40 years old.
In fact, the First Emperor was already considered to have a long life.
"Zhen is unwilling!"
The First Emperor looked up at the sky and sighed. This time, he felt like he had been reborn!
"Why can't humans live as long as the heavens? Immortality!"
"In my limited time, I can only waste money and manpower in hopes of making more contributions in my lifetime!”
"That's why I didn't agree with Zhongfu's political views and forcefully swept through the six countries to unify the world. Later, he built the Great Wall, built a galloping road, cast Lingqu, attacked Baiyue in the south and resisted Xiongnu in the north!”
"We are doing this for the people, for the world, and for Great Qin!”
"Only the construction of Mount Li mausoleum and Epang Palace was for my own selfish desires.”
"However, half of what I want is to protect Great Qin for eternity after I die!”
"As for Epang Palace…Zilie, this is the only thing you can criticize me for!”
……
The First Emperor kept talking, but in the end, he only admitted that Epang Palace did it for their own selfish desires.
As for other matters, Qin Shi Huang insisted that he was wholeheartedly serving the public!
If he calculated carefully.
Although Qin Shi Huang was a waste of money and manpower, everything he did was beneficial to Great Qin and the world.
However…the people of the Nine Provinces were suffering.
At the same time, it also gave the remaining members of the Six Nations a chance to take advantage of it.
Ying Zilie thought for a while and stopped arguing with the First Emperor.
Right and wrong, everyone had their own opinions.
It was useless to just rely on words.
"Father, I didn't mean to attack you. That's why I asked Father to read out the abdication decree at this sand dune palace, not Xianyang Palace.”
The First Emperor still straightened his neck and said,""That won't do! Zi Lie's edict completely destroyed my life's achievements and prestige. I couldn't listen to it even if I died!”
"In that case, I can only forcefully ascend the throne!”
After Ying Zilie finished speaking, he said in an extremely indifferent tone,"Father, if you don't cooperate, the officials and relatives will definitely resist. I can only…kill them!!”
Before he finished speaking!
"You dare?" Emperor Shi immediately said.”
"I have 100,000 troops under me, and I can command the world with the First Emperor. Why wouldn't I dare?？”
"All the officials and clan members, no matter who dares to rebel, I will definitely destroy their clansmen and dig up their ancestors 'graves," Ying Zilie said with a grim expression. Even if he killed a thousand wrongly, he would not let a single one go!”
"At that time, I'm afraid the world will really be in chaos!”
"Then, Imperial Father, your Mount Li mausoleum and Epang Palace will definitely not be completed!”
……
That's all.
Ying Zilie's meaning was very simple!
The matter was already set in stone!
Whether the First Emperor announced his abdication or not, he would still declare himself emperor.
The only difference was that the First Emperor would suffer some grievances, while Great Qin would be able to remain stable!
If the first emperor died, he would not announce the edict to abdicate.
Then, Ying Zilie would go on a killing spree and wipe out the entire Great Qin Dynasty!
When he had free hands, he would send his troops to pacify the world!
He was very confident in himself!
No matter which option he chose, he would be able to control the situation!
It was just that the latter was a little more troublesome.
As for Epang Palace and Mount Li Mausoleum, they were the chips on the table!
If Qin Shi Huang announced his abdication, then Epang Palace and Mount Li Tomb could be built as he wished!
Ying Zilie didn't even say a word!
On the contrary!
Not to mention continuing to build, the First Emperor might really have to live in a dilapidated house. After he died, he could only lie in the unfinished Mount Li mausoleum and protect Great Qin!
At this moment.
The First Emperor raised his trembling hand and said,""Zilie, why are you forcing your father like this?”
"Imperial Father, don't play this game with me. It's useless to be emotional!”
"Child! Didn't you just say that if I don't agree to the contents of the imperial edict, we can discuss it?”
"What discussion? I'm just saying it for Imperial Father to hear!”
“……”
"You can't change a single word. Imperial Father, are you going to announce it or not? Quickly make a decision.”
Ying Zilie had already finished explaining the pros and cons!
The time had come!
He had to force Shi Huang to make a choice, lest the latter delayed.
In the end…
"For the stability of the Great Qin Empire and the lives of the officials and relatives, I can only…suffer!" The First Emperor said bitterly.”
Hearing this, Ying Zilie immediately changed his tone and flattered,"Father, you're really righteous and reasonable. You're a role model for future generations ~"
The First Emperor was speechless.
