The students nodded.
As expected of Zhang Siyao, the top student of the History Department.
He hit the nail on the head.
If the Confucian scholar wasn't killed, why would he write that his own people were killed?
It sounded like Shen Zhi's story was indeed very smooth.
But why did the Confucian scholar do this?
Shen Zhi looked at Zhang Siyao with a faint smile.
The distance between the two of them was very close. Shen Zhi was originally a lot taller than Zhang Siyao.
Standing on top of it, it was much taller.
There should have been a sense of oppression when he looked down from above.
But Zhang Siyao couldn't feel it at all.
She still had a lot of questions!
The corners of Shen Zhi's mouth curled up slightly. He did not reply to her directly but asked," Then I want to ask you, in an era where thousands of soldiers died on the battlefield and were buried under the yellow sand, what made Qin Shihuang only kill less than 500 Confucian scholars and leave a deep mark in history?”
Compared to the thousands of soldiers, the number of Confucian scholars who died was miniscule.
However, the occurrence of this incident left a deep mark in history.
Zhang Siyao was stunned. She obviously didn't expect Shen Zhi to ask her back.
Zhang Siyao thought for a moment and said seriously," It's because of the joint efforts of the Confucian scholars that this matter was passed down from generation to generation to expose the brutality of Qin Shihuang so that future generations would not forget his massacre!”
Shen Zhi chuckled and looked straight at Zhang Siyao.
Seeing Shen Zhi's reaction, the originally confident Zhang Siyao suddenly trembled slightly.
What was Shen Zhi's reaction?
Was there a problem?
According to Zhang Siyao's theory, it was indeed correct.
but
"There are so many Confucian scholars, and the number of people who died at the hands of the kings before the Qin Dynasty was more than ten million. Why did the Confucian scholars expose the cruelty of the other kings generation after generation?”
Zhang Siyao pursed her lips.
He suddenly stopped talking.
Shen Zhi's words were not a question, and he did not want her to answer.
He knew that Zhang Siyao's thoughts were preconceived.
After all, ever since she started learning history, she had already determined that Qin Shihuang was a tyrant and a fatuous ruler.
Shen Zhi continued," That's because the other kings did not touch the foundation of the Confucian scholars!”
"You have to know that during the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang mainly promoted Legalism to govern the country. Before that, the extremely powerful Confucianism was neglected and its foundation was shaken!”
"In order to unite the Confucians, they deliberately exaggerated or fabricated such a lie, thereby stimulating the Confucian scholars 'passion.”
"It was only during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the various schools of thought were abolished and Confucianism was the only thing that mattered!”
"The Confucians have once again been put in an important position. Those who have achieved success have all pointed their spearheads at the sinner who caused their own sect to decline.”
"After all, history is written by future generations. It is also because of this that Qin Shihuang's later generations, where Confucianism prevailed, were fabricated, slandered, and passed down!”
Shen Zhi paused for a moment. Then, he narrowed his eyes and scanned the crowd.
"Perhaps there were Confucian scholars among the people who were killed.”
"However, there must not be many of them. Moreover, they were probably influenced by Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng and publicly slandered the existence of Qin Shihuang. That's why they were killed together!”
Everyone gasped.
After listening to Shen Zhi's narration and Shen Zhi's tone when he spoke.
Everyone could not help but mutter.
"Why do I feel like what Shen Zhi said is true?”
"How does Shen Zhi know so much? It was as if he had witnessed history with his own eyes.”
"There are no historical records of this. Just based on what Shen Zhi said, it's like he's speculating. Is it really credible?”
Just as everyone was discussing.
Zhang Siyao chuckled." Maybe you're right, or maybe you're making it up. I have to say, what you're saying is very novel."
At this moment, she was no longer bothered by whether Shen Zhi's explanation of the matter of " cheating Confucianism " was correct.
Perhaps one day, someone would find out the truth and verify whether what Shen Zhi said was correct.
However, that was all for the future. After all, they had no way to prove whether what Shen Zhi said was right or not.
"Even if Qin Shihuang wasn't a tyrant, he was still a fatuous ruler!”
"You said yesterday,'Qin Shihuang is the first emperor in history, how dare he call himself a fatuous ruler? In the vast Huaxia, if there was no Qin Shi Huang, who would be able to claim the title of emperor?'I remember this sentence very clearly. I don't feel that you have any explanation for this.”
Zhang Siyao's voice was calm, but her eyes were filled with confusion.
At this moment, the teacher sitting in the back row was also interested.
The professor on the podium had also found a stool and sat down.
He picked up his pen.
The students also listened attentively, waiting for Shen Zhi to continue.
At this moment, the bullet comments had already filled the entire live broadcast screen.
"This beauty is right. Even if Shen Zhi is right, Qin Shihuang's cruelty might not be considered cruel. After all, there was a reason for it.”
"If Qin Shihuang was not a fatuous ruler, why did the Qin Dynasty only exist for 14 years?”
"What's so great about a short 14 years?”
"I remember that Shen Zhi said to build the Great Wall to resist the Xiongnu!”
"There's also the unification of the six countries and the use of the same language!”
"Anything else?"
“......”
......
Shen Zhi only smiled and shook his head.
"Student Zhang, I'm not done yet. Don't be anxious.”
Zhang Siyao narrowed her eyes and looked at Shen Zhi." Student Shen Zhi, don't tell me you still haven't remembered my name?”
"Uh…"
"You can remember so much history, but you can't remember my name?”
Shen Zhi waved his hand and quickly changed the topic." Don't mind these details. Let's continue talking about Qin Shihuang. Not to mention the two major events of unifying the six countries and building the Great Wall to resist the Xiongnu, he has done too many things."
"Ring, ring, ring-"
Shen Zhi was halfway through his sentence.
At this moment, the bell rang.
