Yang Yang, who was sitting beside Shen Zhi, was shocked.
Shen Zhi was looking at his phone just now and she thought that he was not listening to the class.
Why did he suddenly stand up and say such a thing?
Yang Yang looked at Shen Zhi's expression from bottom to top.
It was serious!
Especially serious!
Yang Yang couldn't help but shiver.
What did Shen Zhi mean by this?
The First Emperor?
The one emperor of the ages?
Sabei Ning and Dong Qing were also slightly shocked when they saw this.
When they spoke up for Shen Zhi just now, they were afraid that Shen Zhi would play with his phone for the entire class.
However, after he stood up and spoke, he said something like this.
The two hosts were so shocked that they were speechless.
The audience watching the live broadcast couldn't hold it in anymore.
"What nonsense is Shen Zhi talking about?"
"One Emperor of the Ages? Qin Shihuang had done so many bad things, yet he was still the emperor of history?”
"Is he questioning history? Questioning the professor?"
"You don't know anything, but you only know how to sing the opposite tune!”
......
Bullet comments filled the entire screen.
He looked at the audience's comments.
Dong Qing immediately said," I think Shen Zhi must have his reasons for saying that.”
Sabei Ning shook his head." But everyone has agreed that Qin Shihuang was a tyrant for thousands of years.”
That's right, everyone knew about Qin Shi Huang's atrocities through historical materials and textbooks.
For thousands of years, no one had ever spoken up for him.
After all, everything he did was a fact.
At this moment, the classroom was very quiet.
The students looked at Shen Zhi in shock.
The professor was even more shocked.
He had been teaching for decades.
He had never met anyone who said that Qin Shihuang was the greatest emperor in history.
Shen Zhi shook his head.
The First Emperor was a tyrant!
What fatuous ruler!
What sinner!
The people of this world had a huge misunderstanding of Qin Shihuang.
This was simply distorting history!
Zhang Siyao was stunned. Her position wasn't far from Shen Zhi.
It was just two rows in front of Shen Zhi.
She turned her head to look at Shen Zhi. With an imposing manner that did not lose to Shen Zhi's, she said in a sonorous and forceful voice," If he is really as good as you say, he is the greatest emperor in history? Would torture be used? The professor had also said that skinning, cutting at the waist, splitting the car, all five elements, dismembering, cooking, castration, and inserting needles, which one of them wouldn't be terrifying to think about now?”
"One person was sentenced to death and three clans were implicated. One family broke the law and their neighbors were implicated. Countless innocent people suffered and lost their lives for no reason.”
"If this isn't a tyrant, then what is it?"
Hearing Zhang Siyao's words, the students nodded.
"That's right! Isn't this what a tyrant is like!"
"It's too cruel!"
" The death penalty is just beheading. Why do you have to skin him?"
"If you ask me, no one can wash away Qin Shi Huang's crimes. Shen Zhi said that Qin Shi Huang is the first emperor in history? You've overestimated him."
....
The professor nodded in agreement. Qin Shihuang's crimes were not limited to this.
What he did made countless people's hair stand on end.
but
Shen Zhi actually said that Qin Shihuang was the first emperor in history?
There were 422 emperors in ancient times.
Any famous emperor could be thought of.
Many famous emperors in history had made great contributions to China's development.
But Qin Shihuang?
No one would associate the First Emperor of the Ancient Era with Qin Shihuang.
Since Shen Zhi said so, the professor was suddenly a little curious.
He looked at Shen Zhi with interest." Zhang Siyao is right. These are all the atrocities of Qin Shihuang that I just talked about. Then, Shen Zhi, why do you say that Qin Shihuang is the greatest emperor in history?”
It was like a debate.
If the two sides had their own opinions and wanted to argue about who won and who was right and who was wrong.
Then, he had to produce evidence that could convince others.
Everyone's gaze turned to Shen Zhi in unison.
They were also very curious about what Shen Zhi could say.
Shen Zhi said unhurriedly," The Qin Dynasty does have a lot of cruel punishments and there are also people who are implicated. However, these are mostly targeted at those who have committed heinous crimes or those who have done things that threaten the Qin Dynasty. Other than torture, there are other punishments. Not every criminal law is torture.”
"And I believe that torture is not without its benefits.”
"After the Qin Dynasty agreed to the Six Nations, the descendants of the Six Nations were not appointed as such. Every year, there would be a large-scale uprising. Under such circumstances, if the criminal law was not harsh and everyone wanted to revolt, how would the dynasty be governed?!”
Shen Zhi's words were sonorous and powerful.
The classroom was very quiet.
Shen Zhi's powerful words echoed in everyone's hearts.
If this was true, did it sound reasonable?
Some students had such a point of view in their hearts.
However, they immediately shook their heads.
For many years, everyone's views on Qin Shihuang remained the same.
She could not change her mind just because of a few simple words from Shen Zhi!
Moreover, Qin Shi Huang's brutality was not only due to the harsh punishment!
Everyone was listening attentively. No one wanted to interrupt him.
The professor walked down from the stage and looked at Shen Zhi seriously.
"As for the harsh taxes, although the taxes are high, they are not that exaggerated. Moreover, these taxes should be collected. As I said before, after the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the descendants of the six countries often revolted. Without military funds, it would not be enough to support the army.”
The professor nodded thoughtfully.
Zhang Siyao pursed her lips, her fair face flushed red.
She had to admit that what Shen Zhi said made sense.
As if she had thought of something, Zhang Siyao immediately asked," What about Epang Palace and Mount Li Tomb? Is this reasonable?"
