In silence, Zhou Changshou bowed and said, "Your Highness, those who want to accomplish great things should not stick to minor details. Throughout history, many emperors have been covered in blood in their hands. No matter how bright and great the descendants of the descendants promoted it, they could not wash away all the sins they created."

"It is the Taizu of this dynasty who faced the remnants of the previous dynasty that year, and could not conquer Qinghe City for three years. What method did he use to break the city? Can your highness know?"

Hearing this sentence, Wu Qingcang and Wu Duanshan looked at Zhou Changshou as if they were looking at a lunatic.

The three words Qinghe City, even after more than three hundred years, are taboos that the Qin Empire cannot mention.

Many people don’t know about this at all. Even the city has been erased and does not exist in any document. However, as high-ranking officials of the court, those present can naturally come into contact with some secrets that ordinary people do not know.

It can be said that this incident is one of the biggest stains of Taizu of this dynasty. Even in his later years, people often were imprisoned for mentioning this incident.

Li Chen said with a blank expression: "Of course, there is a Qing River running through the entire city in Qinghe City. The people rely on this river to reproduce and survive. After a long period of time, someone suggested that Taizu poison Qinghe, and Taizu adopted this suggestion."

"In the end, the fish and shrimps died overnight, and their belly turned white and floated on the river surface, forming a worldly wonder of Baihe. The 300,000 people in the city were poisoned to death, and all the remaining ones died in pain due to illness."

"When the imperial army entered Qinghe City, it was like a ghost. After the main attack on the founding general Baili Xiuqi hanged himself at the Qinghe City Gate, leaving a suicide note saying that he is worthy of the country and Taizu, but he is worthy of the people and the 300,000 dead souls in Qinghe City."

Li Chen's words did not have too many emotional ups and downs, let alone vivid, but just a few simple and sloppy words outlined an extremely cruel picture in front of everyone.

In that picture, there are hundreds of thousands of innocent people who died tragically, and a ghost town with no living people.

Zhou Changshou took a breath and said seriously: "Your Highness, the same thing is the case. If you want to accomplish great things, you should not stick to minor matters."

"In your eyes, the lives of more than one hundred thousand people are just small matters?" Wu Dianshan couldn't help but question.

Zhou Changshou said plainly: "It depends on what comparison is. If it is ordinary, even a single life is a major matter. But if it is compared with the entire country and the country, the tens of millions of people in the Qin Dynasty, these tens of thousands of people are just small matters."

Wu Dianshan's eyebrows and eyes widened. Although he was full of resentment, he was speechless by Zhou Changshou's words.

He wanted to refute, but could not find a reason to refute.

Finally, he could only grit his teeth and say, "One of us soldiers killed people like grass, and we had many lives on our hands, but that was on the battlefield, fighting for the country. In terms of viciousness, we are not as good as you literati who are well-read!"

Zhou Changshou looked at Wu Dianshan and said coldly: "General Wu, how dare you ask if the enemy army is a human? Are the enemy people? Are the people?"

Wu Dianshan replied subconsciously: "Of course."
