Chapter 20-Sin in the Present, Merit in the Future! (New book!)
Zhao Gao, who was standing behind Ying Zheng, wanted to stretch out his hand to support the wall.
At this moment, Zhao Gao felt extremely excited.
When he heard this, Zhao Gao already understood. He wasn't a fool. Of course, he understood.
The illegitimate son of His Majesty did not know His Majesty's identity at all.
Ying Zheng did not get angry after hearing Su Mu's words. Instead, he was very interested.
"Oh?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows." You said that Ying Zheng is impatient? Why do you say that?"
"Shh! Lower your voice!"
Su Mu raised his finger and gestured to Ying Zheng to keep quiet. Then, he looked around.
Fortunately, there were no neighbors around his house.
Seeing Su Mu's reaction, Ying Zheng found it even more amusing.
He wondered what kind of expression this kid would have when he found out that he was Ying Zheng.
"Father, how can you get involved in these military affairs?”Su Mu shook his head.
Since he had already said so much, how could Ying Zheng not let Su Mu continue?
He really wanted to hear what Su Mu had to say.
"What's there to be afraid of? There's only you and me here, and no one else. Lower your voice, I want to hear your opinion of the Emperor!”Ying Zheng said casually.
"It's fine to say it, but only the two of us can say it. Don't tell anyone. If word gets out, our family will be punished.”
Su Mu waved his hand and made a beheading gesture.
Ying Zheng smiled without saying anything.
"I said that Ying Zheng was too hasty, and there was evidence to prove his impatience.”
"Think about it, how many people does Great Qin have now?”
"According to the rules, Great Qin's population should have been around 20 million to 25 million people. One-third of them were women, one-third were children, and the rest were men!”
"And after Ying Zheng unified the six states, how much manpower would he need to spend every year to build the Great Wall, Epang Palace, Mount Li Tomb, Qin Road, and dig ditches and canals? Over the past few decades, Great Qin had been completely exhausted!”Su Mu shook his head slightly, feeling extremely regretful.
The first unified dynasty in history only lasted for 39 years. This was really not right.
When Zhao Gao heard Su Mu's words, his face turned pale.
Anyone who dared to say such a thing would be beheaded, not to mention the fact that he was Ying Zheng's illegitimate son.
He was too bold.
Why was Fu Su sent to the border? It was just because he was pleading for someone!
How dare an illegitimate child like you say such disgraceful words?
Zhao Gao, who was standing at the side, was ready to witness a fresh life die just like that.
However, Zhao Gao didn't receive any confirmation.
Ying Zheng frowned." You said that the Great Wall, Epang Palace, and the Great Qin Road were all built. Are they all wrong? Shouldn't they be?”
"That's not it!" Su Mu changed the topic." The Great Wall is built to guard the border. I've been to Liaodong and know about the disaster of the foreign races."”
"The Xiongnu, Donghu, and other nomadic tribes have sharp cavalry. If there is no barrier, they will repeatedly plunder the border and devour the land at the border. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with building the Great Wall. No matter what, it is beneficial to the country and the people.”
"Similarly, I don't think Qin Chidao and the ditches he built are wrong.”Su Mu's eyes were filled with certainty.
If it weren't for the Great Wall, countless people would have been invaded by the foreign races for the past thousand years.
The people of the world only remembered how many people died when Ying Zheng built the Great Wall, but how many people remembered how many non-humankind beings were stopped from going south by the Great Wall?
How many people were saved from war?
From the time before the Christian era until the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the Great Wall had defended the Chinese people from countless attacks and plundering in the past 2,000 years!
"Ying Zheng may have been a little impatient, but there is one thing I want to say, and that is, although his sin is now, his credit will be in the future! In the thousands of years to come, the world would remember this great king! He was the one who built the Great Wall to defend against the invasion of other races!”
Sin in the present, merit in the future!
Ying Zheng savored these words carefully, and an indescribable feeling rose in his heart.
That's right!
Perhaps everyone in the world thinks that I am wrong!
I spent countless resources and manpower to build the Great Wall, but in the thousands of years to come, how many people will benefit from it?
So what if the sin was in the present and the merit was in the future?
I am the emperor of the ages.
All the unhappiness in his heart just now was swept away at this moment.
Looking at Su Mu, Ying Zheng felt that although Su Mu was young, he could understand what he was thinking.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng nodded and said," You are right, but since you know all this, you must have some opinions. Why don't you share them with us?"”
Su Mu's interest was piqued.
"Ruling a Great Kingdom is like cooking a small fish. If you rush it, the meat will become firewood and won't taste good anymore. Great Qin is the first Dynasty to unify, and its territory is incredibly large. However, the bigger a Great Kingdom is, the harder it will be for it to stand up!”
" And now, Great Qin seems powerful, but in fact, it is facing internal and external problems. Perhaps when Ying Zheng is still around, it can use iron-blooded methods to suppress everything, but once Ying Zheng is gone, this contradiction will be triggered!”
"When the time comes."
"How is it?" Ying Zheng asked with a frown.
How was it?
The death of Qin II really fulfilled the saying that the First Emperor died and the land was divided.
Of course, Su Mu didn't dare to say this. If it really got out, he would really be courting death.
At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly came from the room, interrupting the conversation between the father and son.
"Brother Mu, is there a guest?”
Qi Yi's soft and weak voice sounded in the room.
In an instant, Ying Zheng, who was sitting opposite Su Mu, was stunned.
As Qi Yi walked out of the house, Ying Zheng looked at him, then at Su Mu, who was sitting opposite him, with an indescribable strange look in his eyes.
"Hehe!" Su Mu chuckled and quickly stood up." Qi Yi, let me introduce you. This is my father."”
"Dad, this is your daughter-in-law, Qi Yi!”Su Mu shamelessly pulled Qi Yi's hand and said with a smile.
