The Ancestral Dragon roared angrily, shaking the entire hall until it buzzed.
"How can my Great Qin die after two generations?“
"How is that possible?"
All the officials immediately knelt on the ground.
They heard it clearly.
Chen Ke had said that Great Qin only had two generations and fifteen years.
The current Ancestral Dragon had already been the emperor for twelve years, which meant that he only had less than three years left.
How could the emperor be wrong? Wasn't it all the courtiers who were wrong?
All of them knelt on the ground.
"We are guilty!"
"We are guilty!"
"We are guilty!"
Regardless of whether he was guilty or not, there was nothing wrong with kowtowing and admitting his mistake.
After the Ancestral Dragon was furious, he immediately reacted.
Didn't he have immortals by his side?
The immortal calculated that Great Qin would only have thirteen years.
If an immortal could calculate it, then he definitely had a way to save her.
Therefore, he quickly stood up and cupped his fists at Chen Ke."I hope that for the sake of Great Qin's tens of thousands of people, sir, can teach me how to escape the misfortune of dying in my second life!”
Chen Ke also stood up.
All the officials looked at Chen Ke with longing in their eyes.
She wanted to get a good result out of his mouth.
After all, it was better to be a dog in peace than a person in troubled times.
No one wanted another war.
Chen Ke saw Qin Shihuang's respectful attitude and slowly said,""Actually, when I came down from Mount Zhongnan, I saw that although the lives of the people in Great Qin were difficult, if there were any more disputes, countless people would die, so I felt pity for them.”
"Since Your Majesty has the heart to save the people from fire and water, then I will help Your Majesty figure out the reason for the death of the second generation.”
Ancestral Dragon was overjoyed after hearing this.
The historian beside him also quickly grabbed a pen and prepared to record it.
The Qin Emperor humbly asked for advice.
The two of them sat down again.
The officials also pricked up their ears to listen.
Chen Ke slowly said,"First, even though Great Qin has unified the six countries, it doesn't have enough food.”
Zu Long looked at the official in charge of agriculture and said,"Explain the reason for the lack of food!”
The official stood up shakily.""Your Majesty, Imperial Preceptor is right.”
"But there are many reasons for this.”
The Ancestral Dragon understood that Great Qin's grain harvest was indeed poor, but he wanted to hear this official's explanation.
The official once again said,"Firstly, Great Qin's grain-producing areas are dry and have little rain.”
"The second reason is that Great Qin's food production is not very high, with a yield of only 50 kilograms per mu.”
"As the Great Qin Empire has been peaceful for a long time, the number of commoners has increased, and the food production is naturally insufficient.”
Chen Ke agreed.
As Great Qin unified the six countries and ended the war, the commoners entered a period of peace, and the population increased greatly.
Moreover, the land that Great Qin currently owned was not a main food production area.
The main production areas were in Liaodong and the south of the Yangtze River.
However, Liaodong was now occupied by the Xiongnu.
There were still alien races in the Jiangnan area.
How could food production be high?
Chen Ke nodded.
Zu Long said to the official,"Looks like you're not talking nonsense. Go back to the train first!"”
The official wiped the sweat off his forehead and returned to his shift.
"The second reason is naturally that there are treacherous officials in the court.”
The moment the words 'treacherous officials in the court' came out.
It immediately caused an uproar.
The officials looked at each other, but no one dared to say anything.
At the same time, he looked at Chen Ke, who was sitting opposite the Ancestral Dragon. He was no longer looking at the Imperial Preceptor, but at the executioner.
As long as Chen Ke said any name, the Ancestral Dragon would definitely kill him mercilessly.
Especially those people who were usually arrogant, they were even more afraid and hoped that Chen Ke would not say anything.
Traitorous officials were disgusting in any dynasty.
Chen Ke was so trusted by Qin Shihuang. When he said that there were treacherous officials in the court, a large group of courtiers felt a chill down their necks.
Especially Zhao Gao, who was kneeling not far from Qin Shihuang, his entire body trembled.
In the current Qin Dynasty, the most treacherous official was undoubtedly Zhao Gao.
He was not only a treacherous official, but also a traitor to the country.
At present, Zhao Gao had already made several plans, but the first plan was ruined by Chen Ke.
After Qin Shi Huang heard Chen Ke's words, he was burning with anger.
He had always been strict in governing the country. He believed that none of the courtiers under his rule would dare to lie to him.
He was even more confident that all of Great Qin's officials would be clean.
However, he had heard from Imperial Advisor Chen Ke that a traitor had caused Great Qin's destruction.
How could Qin Shihuang not be angry?
He looked at Chen Ke and wanted to ask who were the treacherous officials in the court.
However, Chen Ke immediately changed the topic.
" In fact, the lack of food and the presence of treacherous officials in the court are problems that have been encountered in the past dynasties. They are not the main reasons for the destruction of the country.”
Qin Shihuang was even less confident after hearing this.
It turned out that Great Qin's destruction was not only due to these two reasons.
He calmed down and listened again.
Chen Ke continued,"The main reason for Great Qin's destruction was internal and external problems.”
"The foreign invaders are the Xiongnu and other foreign races in the north. They have been eyeing Great Qin covetously and harassing it from time to time, causing Great Qin to have no choice but to use a large number of soldiers to defend.”
Ancestral Dragon thought about it and it was indeed true.
Every year, Meng Tian would build the Great Wall in the north while defending the Xiongnu from the south. There were as many as 300,000 soldiers.
They made up more than half of Great Qin's elite soldiers.
The amount of grain consumed every year was uncountable, and it was indeed a huge burden on the national treasury.
He nodded in agreement.
Chen Ke continued," As for the internal problems, they are the survivors of the Six Nations.”
Hearing this, the Ancestral Dragon's face immediately turned ashen.
I didn't expect that after I destroyed six countries, their people would still be resentful. Don't they feel grateful that after I unified the six countries, there were fewer wars?
A fire burned in his heart.
Chen Ke slowly said," Every day, the six countries 'immigrants wish that there would be chaos within Great Qin, especially those who are restless. Once there is chaos, they will attack together.”
"It seems that we can't keep these survivors of the six dynasties!" Ancestral Dragon stood up with a swoosh.”
Chen Ke shook her head…
