What does it mean to be an emperor?

Sitting in the car, listening to the cheers and drums, and looking at the crowds of Jingshi, Xiao Ruxun's thoughts were a little erratic.

The supreme in the world?

Loner?

More than 1,800 years ago, when Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the land of China, ascended the throne and became emperor, what was he thinking in his heart?

When Liu Bang ascended the throne as the Son of Heaven with cloth clothes and realized the great cause of opening the world for the first time, what was he thinking in his heart?

When Li Shimin imprisoned his father and killed his brother to ascend the throne and became emperor, what was he thinking in his heart?

When Zhao Kuangyin seized the throne and established the Great Song Dynasty, what was he thinking in his heart?

When Zhu Yuanzhang realized the miraculous cause of becoming an emperor from scratch as a beggar, what was he thinking in his heart?

The land of China has changed for countless years, I don't know how many people stand in that supreme position and are surprised, they are the heroes of the moment, the ones who rule the world, but in the end, what did they get, and what kind of results did they bring?

The foundation they have built, the achievements they have made, and the impact they have brought about have gradually disappeared without a trace with their deaths.

Alternating chaos, disturbing one after another, combining for a long time must be divided, and being divided for a long time must be combined, which is like a curse-like law shrouded in the land of China.

Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer.

Eight words have gone through the ages, and there is no word that better reflects the essence of all these eight words.

Xiao Ruxun also wants to know whether there is a way to truly make the people happy, whether there is a way to truly realize the ideal of the ancient philosophers of the world, whether it is capitalist socialism or communism, is there such a way?

This doctrine and that doctrine, the left doctrine and the right doctrine, you doctrine and I doctrine, which doctrine can lead to peace and happiness?

What exactly is needed to put an end to this frustrating and sad cycle of back and forth?

Or is there no way to solve it until it all ends?

Why did you establish a dynasty and become an emperor?

Is it just to grasp power, vent desires, and enjoy supreme honor?

Looking at the people with a pilgrimage-like look of awe on their faces, Xiao Ruxun was a little confused.

He thought that this moment would be the most glorious and glorious moment of his life, and he would be excited, complacent, and even arrogant to see everything he had achieved, but until now, he suddenly found that there was no excitement in his heart, only confusion.

If he can stop thinking so much, just be an ancient emperor in the real sense, just do what the ancient emperors would do, become an emperor in the real sense, powerful, autocratic, decisive, cold-blooded, wise.

Maybe it won't be so confusing.

Everything came according to the plan, nothing changed, just did what all emperors did, until a few hundred years later, the dynasty they created was overthrown by the revolutionaries of the new class, and they were allowed to establish a new republic on the ruins of their own dynasty, moving towards the modern age.

In that case, he may not have to be confused, if everything is predestined, even if he lets this history change, even if he lets himself end the Ming Dynasty ahead of schedule and let himself create a new foundation, but does not make substantial changes, then the final outcome is the same.

Chaos alternates, countries rise and fall, and no matter how powerful a country is, there is a time when it will be wiped out.

According to this law, maybe seven or eight generations, maybe ninety generations, maybe twelve or thirteen generations, the Great Qin Dynasty he established will also fall apart, and embark on the road of destruction because of various internal and external contradictions, and on the ruins of the Great Qin Dynasty, the dawn of the republic will begin to appear.

And if something like that happens, in essence, how big is the gap between it and the Manchu Qing Dynasty entering the Central Plains?

Did he deliberately overthrow the Ming Dynasty and establish his own country just to live the emperor's addiction?

Will I call him a flood when I die?

If that's the case, what's the point of establishing the Great Qin Dynasty?

If he can't bring about substantial change, if he can't do something completely different, if he can't let all the brilliance shine on the land of China, what is the point of everything he is doing now?

It's just a normal change of dynasty.

What will future generations say about themselves?

You can revise the history books, you can make every effort to revise the history books, but the facts that have objectively happened cannot be changed, and there will definitely be people who know and pass them on, and you have become the protagonist of an era in history, and what you do cannot be erased in any case.

Qin II died, and Xiao Ruxun didn't want the Qin he established to follow the old path of the death of the second.

He didn't want this Qin to fail to bring any change to Confucian China.

The word Qin itself represents change, and Xiao Ruxun is pursuing the greatest power in the world while pursuing change.

Whether it is for the pursuit of power, or for seeking change and breakthroughs, the two have long been integrated in Xiao Ruxun, and there is no way to distinguish between right and wrong and priority.

Xiao Ruxun did not allow himself to become a traditional emperor.

He would rather choose to be a highly controversial emperor.

Whether it is praise or scolding, he has to be such an emperor.

Even though the road is winding and potholed, there is no end in sight.

That doesn't matter.

He had already cornered himself.

And, many more of these things will be done.

Today is just the beginning of everything.

The crowd watched in confusion and worry as they watched the soon-to-be-reigning emperor, who was no stranger to him, for just a year before he had been a peerless warrior, and a year later, he had become their emperor.

Emperor.

What will he bring to them?

Peace and hope, war and destruction?

Will an emperor who was born a war general pull them back into the quagmire of war?

They don't have a choice, they don't even know how to choose, or rather, they don't have a sense of choice at all.

There is no knowledge, no culture, no thought, no consciousness.

They were the most obedient people, and at the same time, the most violent rebels.

They rebelled not many times, but each time it was an earth-shattering change that made the ruler tremble.

And what should I do with them?

Having opened their wisdom and minds to them, will they overthrow their own dynasty?

Will they shout about freedom, democracy, constitutionalism, and rule of law to overthrow their Great Qin Dynasty?

Xiao Ruxun didn't know, but Xiao Ruxun knew very well that if the whole country was chanting slogans to overthrow the Great Qin Dynasty, then whether it was Great Qin or Great Ming, it was time to perish, unstoppable.

And that, I guess I can't see it.

The wisdom of universal education is not only to increase the power of the nation, but also to leave the choice of the future to history and the general public.

Let them make the most suitable choice.
