Hmph, so Miss Huo thinks that Qin Shihuang is the Ming Emperor? Do you think that he is right to burn books and pit Confucianism, build the Great Wall, and ask for medicine for children? It's ridiculous!" Xi Zhicai looked at Huo Qingtong with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice.

Huo Qingtong couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly when she saw that Xi Zhicai reacted so loudly and fiercely, once upon a time, she also thought that Qin Shihuang was a bloody, brutal, and inhumane tyrant.

But since she met Xiao Yun and listened to Xiao Yun's evaluation of Qin Shi Huang, she knew that she had been misunderstood by history, and those remnants of the Six Kingdoms hated Qin Shi Huang to the core, especially Confucianism.

After the fall of the Qin State, they hyped up all kinds of bad things about Qin Shi Huang, spread rumors, tampered with the historical truth, and smeared Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, as a tyrant, and turned a blind eye to his contributions, Qin Shi Huang was like this, and Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was also like this!

In particular, "burning books and pit Confucianism" has always been evidence of Qin Shi Huang's cruelty and violence, and has been scolded by later generations for more than 2,000 years, so that some people still haunt it when they think of this historical event, hate not to dig up graves and whip corpses, hate not to penetrate more than 2,000 years of time and space, and knock on the bones and marrow of Qin Shi Huang, this hatred is actually the collective fear in the subconscious of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and Confucian disciples at that time, which has been passed down from generation to generation.

The history of this world today is also like this, and later generations have tampered with history, ignored the exploits of Qin Shi Huang, fabricated a lot of history out of thin air, and smeared Qin Shi Huang, leading future generations to think that Qin Shi Huang was a cruel and cold-blooded tyrant.

Don't think about it, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai are also confused by history and think that Qin Shi Huang is a tyrant!

"Guo Gongzi, Opera Gongzi, do you know that I also thought so before, thinking that Qin Shi Huang was a bloody, brutal, and inhuman tyrant, but it wasn't until there was a person who gave me a blow to the head and revealed the truth of history to me, that I realized that I was wrong, and it was a big mistake, Qin Shi Huang is not only a Ming monarch, but also his merits can be called an emperor through the ages!" Huo Qingtong looked at Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, and said with serious emotion.

"Ridiculous, really ridiculous, it's the first time I've heard someone say that Qin Shi Huang is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and his merits can be called the first emperor of the ages?"

"I don't know what Guo Gongzi thinks, do you also have the same opinion as the opera master?" Huo Qingtong looked at Guo Jia on the side and asked.

"Well, it's pretty much the same, but I want to hear your opinion, Miss Huo!" Guo Jia smiled slightly.

"Okay, then I'll tell Qin Shi Huang about the exploits made by Qin Shi Huang one by one, if you feel wrong, you can point it out!" Huo Qingtong didn't care, and after being polite, he said slowly:

"During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a hundred schools of thought contended, Taoism, Confucianism, Legalism, Moism, peasants, Yin and Yang families, etc., in terms of academics and thoughts, hundreds of schools of thought bloomed, competing with each other, and they each chose a country to develop their own academics and spread their ideas.

"Among them, there are seven countries that are the most powerful, namely Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, Qin, these seven countries have their own words and thoughts, and have their own culture and heritage, which is an extremely dangerous thing.

Until the emergence of Qin Shi Huang's reign, it was he who ended the situation of hundreds of years of division and chaos between the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and established the first unified, multi-ethnic, and absolutist centralized state in Chinese history, laying a solid foundation for the development of the Chinese nation.

"The Great Wall was built to resist the invasion of the Xiongnu and to draw a clear border with those nomads; the construction of the Chi Road was to facilitate transportation, to build spiritual canals, to communicate the water system, to facilitate the economic circulation of the north and south, and to strengthen the empire's control over the south.

Qin Shi Huang also unified the language, unified the currency, unified the weights and measures, established the county system, he attacked the Xiongnu in the north, conquered the Baiyue in the south, and greatly opened up the territory of China.

"His merits can be said to be greater than Confucius, after all, Confucius is just a thinker, but Qin Shi Huang is a doer, but such an emperor can be written in history as a selfish and cruel tyrant, I don't know what to say about those literati who turn black and white upside down!" Huo Qingtong sighed meaningfully.

She has been in this world for more than ten days, and she has also checked a lot of historical books, and found that most people in this world still regard Qin Shi Huang's achievements in building the Great Wall with the strength of the whole country, thinking that it is a waste of money and labor.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that the history books exaggerate the death and injury of the people who died and injured Qin Shi Huang during the construction of the Great Wall several times, thus misleading future generations.

In fact, those who can say the phrase "labor and money" are either civil servants or scholars, roughly summarized, all of them are Confucianists, and these people are really brazen enough to take revenge on Qin Shi Huang!

In the north of China, there are often Xiongnu and other nomadic peoples eyeing the tiger, not building the Great Wall means to station a large number of troops in the north, there is an old saying: "only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves." ”

The Great Qin Empire occupied the richest Central Plains in Shenzhou at that time, and it was a piece of fat in the eyes of the nomads, and it took the initiative, not sure when to attack, if there were fewer troops, I was afraid that it would not be able to resist, if it was a large-scale garrison, military expenditure, grain and grass, and logistics transportation were not a small amount.

After the completion of the construction of the Great Wall, the number of garrisons was greatly reduced, and the safety of the lives and property of the people south of the Great Wall was guaranteed.

If the Great Wall is not repaired, the Xiongnu wielded a knife to the south to burn and loot, at least millions of ordinary people will be killed and injured, some people may not say Qin Shi Huang, think that it is normal for the Xiongnu to go south, but Qin Shi Huang repaired the Great Wall, tired more than 100,000 people, that is, labor and wealth hurt the people, and some people will scold him for nothing.

Some people will only remember that hundreds of thousands of people were killed or injured because of an order of Qin Shi Huang, but they will not think that it is precisely because of the Great Wall that millions or tens of millions of people will live and work in peace and contentment, and they no longer have to worry about the Xiongnu coming to commit crimes, this is human nature.

It is said that history is a little girl who dresses up at will, but in fact, most makeup artists are unqualified, and what is even more excessive is that someone deliberately does it.

"Miss Huo only picked on the good side of Qin Shi Huang and said, even if Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall for the people of the world, and his merit is in the future, but what about him burning books and pit Confucianism?

Huo Qingtong smiled slightly, he knew that it was difficult to change the concepts and opinions of Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia for a while, and then said slowly:

"After Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, the country was initially unified, and the people's hearts were scattered, and Prime Minister Li Si wrote to Qin Shi Huang to ask for the destruction of the hundred schools of thought in order to break the idea of the six countries.

"Li Si studied under the Legalists, although some of them were unscrupulous to achieve their goals, but it was indeed the most time-efficient method at that time, and Qin Shi Huang agreed after thinking about it!

"Even if it is book burning, in fact, there are many discrepancies with what is recorded in the current history books, and it is not as serious and extreme as in the history books!

"The decree demanded that all the classics that did not belong to the Qin state be burned, but not all, and all the books that were useful for medicine, agriculture, and the economic development of the empire should be preserved.

After the book burning incident, Qin Shi Huang did not "depose a hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone" like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and stifled hundreds of schools except Confucianism, but recruited talents from various schools and learned from others.

"Let's talk about Confucianism, there is a lot of controversy about this point, and it has been misunderstood by later generations, some people think that Qin Shi Huang was selfish, killed innocents indiscriminately, and destroyed the inheritance of Confucianism, in order to retaliate for Confucianism not supporting the Qin State, is this really the case?

"As an emperor, I think there must be a reason why Qin Shi Huang killed hundreds of thousands of Confucian scholars for no reason and destroyed a large number of Confucian books and inheritances!

"I have specially checked some ancient books, among which there is a saying that in the second year after Qin Shi Huang burned the book, he gathered a group of alchemists and astrologers in order to be able to seek the elixir of life, but the two leaders selected by Ying Zheng not only did not listen to the king's orders to search carefully, but instead spread rumors that Ying Zheng was not good among the people.

At that time, because Confucianism was not valued and supported by Qin Shi Huang, there were many scholars and Confucian scholars who were extremely dissatisfied with Yingzheng, and took this opportunity to fish in troubled waters and organize Confucian disciples all over the world to spread rumors, wanting to force Qin Shi Huang to attach importance to Confucianism and take Confucianism as the mainstream of Qin.

"Confucianism's actions caused Qin Shi Huang to be furious, as an iron-blooded king, how could Qin Shi Huang bow to Confucianism, as the so-called 'Son of Heaven is angry, see blood and flat', according to statistics, Qin Shi Huang at that time pit and kill people including Confucian and warlocks, are some people who failed to find immortals or provoked government decrees, in fact, there are not 100,000, only tens of thousands, those exaggerated numbers are slander by later generations.

"At that time, there were more than 100,000 Confucian scholars in the world? Millions were few! And Qin Shi Huang just killed some people who made a lot of trouble! In all dynasties, there were even many emperors who killed tens of thousands of heads, which one killed less than Qin Shi Huang? Therefore, it was not Qin Shi Huang's fault to say that 'burning books and pit Confucianism', and under the circumstances at that time, this practice was correct!

"As for Qin Shi Huang's construction of Afang Palace, the construction of the Huangling, and the boy's request for medicine, these are indeed not merits, but they cannot be denied just because of these.

"The emperors of the past dynasties did not build a representative garden for themselves? did not build the Huangling Tomb for themselves? And at that time, the world was initially decided, many remnants of the Six Kingdoms lost their relatives, and they were still in grief, and they had nothing to do, and they were extremely hostile to the old Qin people, and they made trouble every day, and Qin Shi Huang was also trying to find something to do for these people, so as not to make the world chaotic again! ! !

"As for the boy seeking medicine and refining the elixir of life, this is just human nature, Qin Shi Huang, as the overlord of the world, definitely doesn't want to die early, and there is no fuss about sending people to find the art of immortality, isn't this the case for emperors in the past?"

Huo Qingtong's opinion shocked Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai's hearts, and they found that it was really like that! After all, history books are recorded by later generations, and it is normal for those Confucian scribes to tamper with history, but the ridiculous thing is that the two of them are pretentious, but they still haven't jumped out of this prison!
