"Do you know the Thirty-Six Countries of the Western Regions?，If Qin Shihuang had not unified the six kingdoms, would there still be the Great Tang of today?”Su Chen knew that even without Qin Shihuang, there would still be many countries. Today, you attack me, and tomorrow, I attack him, just like the Warring States Period.
"Even so, Qin Shihuang was still a tyrant. He burned books and buried scholars. He built the Great Wall and killed countless people.”Li Shimin knew that Qin Shihuang's unification of the Central Plains was beneficial to the Chinese people, but he still felt that Qin Shihuang was a tyrant.

Su Chen looked at Li Shimin as if he was an idiot. He didn't know such a simple thing and didn't know what he did for a living.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong?”Li Shimin wanted to teach Su Chen a lesson when he saw the way Su Chen was looking at him.
"How do you know that Qin Shihuang burned books and buried Confucian scholars? Do you really think that Qin Shihuang killed Confucian scholars?”
"It's all recorded in the history books. Why don't I know about it?"
"Burning books and burying Confucians. Let me tell you about burning books first. Why did Qin Shihuang burn books? Because if he didn't burn books, then the people of the six countries could still read the books of their own countries and learn the characters of their previous countries. Then how could Qin Shihuang implement the unified language? The idea of burying Confucians was even more nonsense. Qin Shihuang killed some alchemists, which made those Confucians unhappy. After all, Qin Shihuang didn't use Confucians, but respected Legalism. When the Han Dynasty was established, he would use Confucians. Think about it, some of those Confucians were historians. Would the emperor of the Han Dynasty let them speak well of Qin Shihuang?"
"And the Great Wall. At that time, the Xiongnu in the north often harassed the border. Moreover, Qin Shihuang destroyed the six countries and captured a large number of soldiers. If we let these soldiers go, we were afraid that they would be used to rebel. If we don't let so many people go, how much food would be wasted? That's why the Great Wall was built. Qin Shihuang connected the Great Wall of the six countries together and stopped countless foreign invasions for thousands of years.”
Li Shimin was speechless. He was the emperor and he knew the importance of unifying the written language. He also knew the importance of the Great Wall. However, he did not think of the hidden danger of Qin Shihuang's recent destruction of the six countries.
"If he isn't a tyrant, then why was Great Qin destroyed by Qin II?"
"Uncle Li, your brain is not working well. If you go into business, you will definitely lose everything.”Su Chen felt that this Uncle Li must be a one-track-minded person. He would say whatever he thought without thinking.
"You brat, what are you talking about? What's wrong with my brain? I'm also very smart.”Li Shimin said loudly when he saw Su Chen laughing at him again.
"You just said that Great Qin was destroyed during the reign of Qin II. At that time, Qin Shi Huang was already dead.”
"This…" Li Shimin was speechless again. He thought about how the Great Qin Empire was destroyed during the reign of Qin II, and how Qin Shihuang had nothing to do with it.
"Su Chen, tell me why you admire Qin Shihuang.”Princess Changle heard Su Chen's words and her opinion of Qin Shihuang changed. Now she wanted to know what Su Chen admired about Qin Shihuang.
"That's a lot. I summarized it. Do you want to hear it?”
"Tell me, I'm also curious." Li Shimin also wanted to know why Su Chen admired Qin Shihuang.
"The first point is that Qin Shihuang abolished the enfeoffment system and established the prefecture and county system, thus strengthening the central power and establishing a management system from the central to the prefecture and county. This system has been used until now.”
Li Shiming nodded. He admitted that this system was very good and beneficial to the management of the country.
Princess Chang Le was a little fascinated by Su Chen. She did not expect Su Chen to know so many things.
"The second point is that Qin Shihuang unified the written language, unified weights and measures, and unified currency. Unifying the written language can make the national decrees pass, and officials in various places can see the documents issued by the emperor. It can also promote cultural exchanges in various places. Unifying weights and measures and currency can promote economic development.”
"Thirdly, Great Qin built the Great Wall to defend against the Xiongnu's invasion and took over the Hetao region. They also used their forces in the Baiyue region and took over a large piece of land in the south, allowing Great Qin to expand from 36 Commanderies to 40 or so Commanderies.
Li Shimin kept nodding his head as he listened. He didn't know Qin Shihuang in detail, so he didn't expect Qin Shihuang to do so many things that would benefit his descendants.
Princess Chang Le also looked at Su Chen in surprise when she heard this. She was now more and more curious about how Su Chen knew so much. Her beautiful big eyes kept looking at Su Chen.
"I didn't expect Qin Shihuang to do so many things. No wonder you admire Qin Shihuang so much. We have also been misunderstood by the history books.”Li Shimin said to Su Chen.
"History books are written by the victors. Just take a look and don't take it seriously. "In fact, Qin Shihuang also said something. I don't know if it's true, but I feel like it's true." Su Chen thought of a forum he had seen on the Internet before. People were discussing Qin Shihuang's words.
"What is it? Tell me."
"Alright, then let me tell you: I rule the six countries and the world is one. I will build the Great Wall to suppress the Nine Provinces 'dragon veins, protect my Great Qin, and protect the country. I swear here in the name of the First Emperor of Qin that when I am alive, I will defend the territory, open up the border, sweep away the barbarians in all directions, and stabilize the foundation of the Great Qin Dynasty. When I die, I will also turn into a dragon soul and protect China from sorrow forever. This oath is witnessed by the sun and the moon. Heaven and earth can see it together, and immortals, demons, ghosts and gods can listen to it.”Su Chen stood up and said loudly.
" Good, good! It's indeed Qin Shihuang. With this sentence, Qin Shihuang will be the first emperor in history!" Li Shimin's blood boiled as he stood up excitedly. He had never thought that Qin Shihuang would say such words. This was what an emperor should be like. He had a goal now. He wanted to surpass Qin Shihuang in the future.
Princess Changle was so excited that tears flowed out of her eyes. She really didn't expect Qin Shihuang to be so great that he could make such an oath.
" How is it? Now you all admire Qin Shihuang, right?"
" I admire you, I really admire you. Those historians who belittle Qin Shihuang are worse than animals." Li Shimin had not calmed down yet, thinking about what Qin Shihuang had done and the oath he had made.
