"This is quite different from Great Qin." Sun Huan smiled." Huhai was willing to be a puppet, which led to the death of Qin II. Li Shimin was actually quite capable. The Tang Empire's prosperity was opened by him.”
Ying Zheng's face darkened.
Can you not mention this unfilial grandson?
Could he not mention Qin II's death?
Why did he always expose people's shortcomings?
"Speaking of Li Shi Min, he has another famous saying.”
"What famous saying?"
"Xunzi said that the ruler is a boat, and the commoners are water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.”
Water could carry a boat, but it could also capsize it!
Actually, Ying Zheng had also heard of Xun Zi.
Back then, Xun Zi had traveled all over the world and had been to the Qin country.
Most importantly, this guy was in the State of Zhao.
Ying Zheng had even met him once by chance.
However, he did not expect his master to know everything he said.
But he had never heard of it.
Master does not go out, but knows everything in the world.
"If the ruler doesn't implement benevolent policies for the people, the people will naturally rise up and overthrow the dynasty, causing the ruler to die without a burial place.”
"A ruler who allows the people to live in peace and contentment will naturally be supported by the people, and the foundation of the dynasty will last for hundreds of generations.”
Ying Zheng fell silent.
He repeatedly thought about this sentence.
Could he do it?
Let the people of the world live a good life?
The Warring States Period had been fighting for more than 700 years.
The commoners had no clothes to cover their bodies and no food to fill their stomachs. They were fighting for the emperor's momentary joy and anger.
In fact, Great Qin had a rule that every household had to do odd jobs every year.
In fact, it was free labor.
For example, building the Great Wall.
And these handymen often starved to death.
"Although Li Shi Min did some bad things, he has made some achievements.”
"He also had this saying: With copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; with history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall; with people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses.”
"Do you understand this sentence?"
Ying Zheng had already written down these words in his little notebook.
"This sentence does make some sense.”
"However, I'm still a little lacking compared to Master.”
"Cough cough!"
He saw Ying Zheng looking at him with a face full of admiration.
Sun Huan was a little embarrassed.
"Li Shiming has another interesting thing. He has a virtuous minister, Wei Zheng. This Wei Zheng is definitely a wonder in history.”
"Wei Zheng had advised Li Shimin fifty times in total. He had advised him more than a hundred thousand times in his life.”
"What is a recorder?"
"Don't interrupt!"
"This Wei Zheng is basically using his life to remonstrate. Legend has it that once, Li Shiming was playing with the harrier when he was reading the memorial. As a result, Wei Zheng happened to walk over, and Li Shiming quickly hid the harrier in his sleeve.”
"This Wei Zheng really doesn't care about his life!”
"However, this Li Shi Min is too cowardly. As the emperor, he is actually afraid of a minister to this extent.”
Ying Zheng was filled with disdain.
However, Sun Huan sneered.
"Afraid of Wei Zheng? How can an emperor be afraid? Killing Wei Zheng is just a matter of words. He didn't kill Wei Zheng because Wei Zheng was his mirror.”
"As a result, no one around Li Shiming was willing to tell him the truth. The court was peaceful, but the people were miserable.”
"In the end, they even built palaces for fun.”
"At the same time, he also pursued immortality, just like Qin Shihuang.”
“……”
Ying Zheng was dumbfounded.
Can you not bring this up!
Although she knew that he was talking about her, she could not refute him.
Just take it as a teacher's teaching.
When he returned, he would immediately execute all the Warlocks who claimed to be able to live forever!
Sun Huan glanced at Zhao Ji and continued," In this prosperous period of the Tang Empire, there was even a female emperor.”
Zhao Ji was immediately interested.
"Is it a strange woman like Empress Dowager Xuan?”
"I didn't expect that a woman could also become an emperor!”
Empress Dowager Xuan was Mi Bazi.
In terms of seniority, she was Ying Zheng's grandfather's grandmother.
Empress Dowager Xuan monopolized the court, and her power overflowed the government and the people. She even destroyed the Yiqu State with a woman's body and the power of one person.
It cleared the worries of the Qin country.
Not a single soldier was wasted, and there was no bloodshed.
she is truly a hero among women.
Sun Huan nodded." This Wu Zetian is just so-so. She's still considered a good emperor."”
"After that is Song."
"Song is completely different from now. He values literature over martial arts.”
"Young masters are all sissy and have no integrity to speak of.”
"Thus, the famous shame of Jingkang occurred.”
Although the Song Dynasty valued literature over martial arts, it led to the decline of martial arts.
However, their culture had once reached the peak of China's history.
Its cultural influence far exceeded that of other dynasties.
When the Song Dynasty perished, the news spread across the sea and into Japan.
According to historical records, the Emperor of Japan, the Shogunate General, the samurai, and the common people all cried and mourned.
Sun Huan paused.
"There's nothing much to say about the shame of Jingkang.”
"Next is Big Ming!"
"Great Ming has a lot to say. No marriage, no compensation, no ceding, no tribute. The emperor guards the country gate, and the king dies for the country!”
Ying Zheng could not help but clap his hands.
"Good!"
"This is the grace that our dynasty should have!”
The Great Qin Empire was the same.
Before Ying Zheng ascended the throne, Great Qin was also a tough man made of iron.
No marriage, no reparations, no ceding of territory, no tribute!
The Son of Heaven guarded the gate of the country, and the king died for the country!
This sentence was the evaluation of the Ming Dynasty in later generations.
It was precisely because the Ming Emperor was the only emperor who did not retreat or surrender when his country was destroyed.
When Li Zicheng attacked Beijing, the eunuch beside Emperor Chongzhen advised him to surrender, but he was stabbed to death by Chongzhen.
Then, he killed his own empress, imperial concubine, princess, and even a six-year-old princess.
While doing these things, she covered her face and cried."Why do you have to stay in the imperial family!"
In the end, he knew that the matter had passed and he was powerless to turn the situation around.
He hanged himself on a tilted tree.
Before he died, he only left a sentence: " The monarch died for the country. The world has been ruled for 277 years. Once he abandoned it, it was all ruined by treacherous officials!”
After the Ming Dynasty, wild boar skin entered the pass.
For three hundred years, he ruled over the Han people.
The oppression of the Han people was too numerous to be recorded.
But who knew that hundreds of years later, countless Qing Palace dramas swept the country, creating countless brainless fans.
How sad…
"Sigh…"
"Let's not talk about it anymore, let's not talk about it anymore!”
Sun Huan took out the potato chips in his hand. At this moment, he had also finished them.
"You guys continue fishing. I'm going back.”
He looked at Sun Huan's lonely figure.
Zhao Ji actually felt endless sorrow for a moment.
Ying Zheng was the first to come back to his senses.
He clenched his fists tightly.
He bowed deeply at Sun Huan's departing back.
"Master, I, Ying Zheng, will do better than them!”
