Chapter 370 Take You To See Your Tomb(1/2)
Chapter 370 Take you to see your tomb
The cautious Qin Zheng did not go to pour tea. For so many years, except for people he trusted, he would not touch food given by anyone.
Although he was unhappy about being assigned to do things, thinking that the person in front of him could bring him back to life, Qin Zheng endured it and reached out to flip through the book in his hand.
The texture of the printing paper and the neat fonts used to record the words directly broke Qin Zheng's suppressed composure.
"Shopkeeper, what is this book made of? Why is it so thin? And why are these words so slender and neat?
If all records are written on this book and silk, it will be both convenient and efficient."
"Well, the Qin Dynasty already had the word efficiency."
Chen Ye's answer was not at all what Qin Zheng wanted to hear, but he did not continue to delve deeper. His eyes had already seen the first page of the book.
"A Brief History of Five Thousand Years of China? Are you, the shop owner, from the world of gods? You must have this word, China."
"It is the history that has happened in our world, and it is also the history that is about to happen in your world."
"Oh? The shopkeeper means that our world is the same? Soon?"
Ying Zheng was a little confused. From the first page of the book, there were very few records of the Xia Dynasty. Even at that time, they only knew about Yu's deeds through word of mouth.
But when the Shang Dynasty started later, Ying Zheng had a bad feeling, because there was a clear time when the Shang Dynasty started, and the Shang Dynasty was not far from the Qin Dynasty.
"Five thousand years..."
Qin Zheng muttered, directly skipping the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and was too lazy to continue reading the past events that he was familiar with. He somewhat understood.
Sure enough, the huge Qin Dynasty page made Ying Zheng tremble slightly, and the brief time summary at the beginning stung his eyes even more.
"The Qin Dynasty, from 221 BC to 207 BC, how many years was it?"
Ying Zheng didn't realize how time had jumped forward from 221, but after a simple subtraction, his face suddenly turned red.
Fifteen years, Da Qin actually only had fifteen years.
Continuing to look down, looking at history's evaluation of the Qin Dynasty, especially the abuse of people's power, affecting people's livelihood, causing resentment among the people all over the world, and the people being angry and afraid to speak out, Qin Zheng's complexion became less ruddy.
Reading down is the detailed history of the Qin Dynasty. From the first generation of King Qin who destroyed twelve kingdoms, to when he succeeded to the throne and destroyed six kingdoms, and then unified the world and was called the First Emperor. His books were in the same text and his carriages were in the same track.
After passing by, I began to take a closer look at what happened after my death.
When he saw that Zhao Gao bewitched Hu Hai after his death, and then joined forces with Li Si to tamper with the edict and let Fusu commit suicide, Qin Zheng's hands suddenly tightened. What he was angry about was not Fusu's murder, but Zhao Gao's role in it.
Then Hu Hai came to the throne. At the beginning of his succession, he was very lighthearted and wanted to stabilize the world, but he was soon lost under the bewitchment of Zhao Gao.
Hu Hai imitated Ying Zheng's eastward tour, continued to build Afang Palace, and strictly ordered the people to continue to work and pay heavy taxes, completely losing the people's support, which was already low.
During this period, Zhao Gao also beguiled Hu Hai, saying that the two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi had treacherous intentions, and that Hu Hai had to kill his brothers and some ministers in order to feel at ease.
After that, Zhao Gao continued to increase his power, and after cleaning up the area around Hu Hai, Hu Hai had no access to foreign ministers and could only concentrate on playing and spending money.
The uprising of Chen Sheng, Wu Guangguang and Zexiang was concealed by Zhao Gao, which caused the insurgent army to form a large scale. After that, the insurgent army invaded Xianyang in large scale.
Hu Hai urgently ordered Zhang Han to lead the Lishan prisoners into an army and defeated the rebel offensive. However, Zhao Gao planned to alienate Hu Hai and kill Li Si.
Li Si had a good relationship with Zhang Han. Zhao Gao kept urging Zhang Han to come back, but Zhang Han didn't dare and sent people back. As a result, Zhao Gao wanted to kill Chang Shi who Zhang Han sent back. He frightened Zhang Han and directly led 200,000 people.
The army surrendered to Xiang Yu.
At this time, Zhao Gao was so powerful that he became the ruler of the world as a eunuch. He had the idea of going one step further and killed Hu Hai with his own hands in order to establish himself as emperor.
Just because there was no support, Ziying had no choice but to promote Ziying as the third emperor of Qin in order to follow up. Ziying understood Zhao Gao's machinations, so five days after he ascended the throne, he used illness as an excuse to have Zhao Gao beheaded in the palace.
, execute the Zhaogao clan.
One month after Ziying ascended the throne, Liu Bang's troops came to the city, Ziying surrendered to Xiang Yu, and the Qin Dynasty was destroyed. A month later, Liu Bang's army lost a battle with Xiang Yu's army, Liu Bang withdrew from Xianyang, Xiang Yu arrived, massacred the city and set fire to it, killing Ziying, and the Qin Dynasty ended.
"Huh, Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao."
Qin Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and slowly put down the book. He murmured Zhao Gao's name and held his hand very tightly. He wanted to go back and kill the evil dog immediately.
It can be said that the founder of the Qin Dynasty was Qin Zheng, and the gravedigger of the Qin Dynasty was Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao's series of seizures of power, deception, regicide, and murder of loyal ministers pushed the Qin Empire directly into the grave.
If there is no Zhao Gao, even if Hu Hai is a waste, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms will rebel one after another. At least with the Meng family brothers, Zhang Han, Li Si and others, the rebel army will be blocked and guard the basic base. At worst, the survivors of the Sixth Generation will come back again.
That’s it.
He continued to read the rest of the history until he saw the year 2022. Qin Zheng finally understood the meaning of this.
"Shopkeeper, are you an immortal or a human? With your immortal abilities, are there other immortals?
Why does that system have the ability to bring me to this future world? Where are we now? Is it possible for me to get out of this house?
Is that system yours or that of the people behind you? How many other such systems and how many such people are there?
I'm already dead, but the system says it will restore my physical activity. Does that mean I can become immortal?"
"You have asked too many questions, so I will answer them one by one. The first question is that I was born after the Qin Dynasty, 2200 years later, which is the year 2022 in the book.
But my abilities are the same as those of immortals as you understand them, because I am now immortal, not afraid of harm, and can travel freely between different worlds.
As for those with the same abilities as mine, there are none in my world, but there are two emperors in the other two worlds. Like you, they are my customers and my partners.
Thanks to the system's ability, they are not afraid of any harm, poison, physical damage, etc., and have always been free from illness and disaster, but they are still not as perverted as me."
When Chen Ye said immortality, Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed. The immortality he had been pursuing for decades was actually right in front of him.
However, he became a little worried when he heard that there was another person with the same identity as himself, but he was not afraid of harm and was not immortal.
"Bringing you here is the system's ability. Likewise, I gave you the permission. If I don't let you, you won't be able to use the space-time gate or time-travel.
As for you now, you are in an ordinary room, and the world is outside. I will take you out to see it later.
The third question is, I don’t know the origin of the system. The ability was given by him. He is not a person from this world, your world, or any world? I don’t know if the existence behind the system is a human being.
Anyway, it is a higher level existence than us, and my authority is equivalent to that of a supply shopkeeper. You are all my customers, so the system allows you to call me the shopkeeper.
You can only contact me individually, but I can integrate your materials and let you use the display window.
As for you, you are indeed immortal now, but you should not have the ability to live forever, because the system only restores the activity of your body and removes diseases, but it does not say that it will last forever.
I estimate that if the system does not allow you to live forever, you should be over a hundred years old."
"Can't live forever?"
"More than a hundred years old is enough. Everyone wants to live forever, but living for more than a hundred years without illness or pain is what other people dream of. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Although Qin Zheng felt disappointed, he still kept his temper after hearing what Chen Ye said.
He wanted to ask why Chen Ye could live forever but he couldn't, but his reason didn't let him lose his emperor's temper. The person in front of him told him straightforwardly that he couldn't mess with him.
"I just heard you say that the dragon robe on my body belonged to the emperor of the Han Dynasty?"
"Well, you also saw it just now. It is the descendant of Liu Bang who destroyed the Qin Dynasty, and the imperial robe of Liu Bei, the founding emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty four hundred years later.
Liu Bei, like you, is also a king of the last days. After his son's death, the Han Dynasty fell, so in a sense you two have the same experience.
Later, you also saw that dynasties changed over and over again, all because the people suffered disasters, the emperor was ignorant, or natural disasters and man-made disasters led to rebellion and destruction."
"These reasons should all be the same. Why didn't those emperors reflect on it after thousands of years of history?
By unifying the six kingdoms without enfeoffing them, I was trying to prevent the chaos of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Just now I saw that the people in the world are rebelling against me because the people in the six kingdoms are heavily enslaved, and the remnants of the six kingdoms are obsessed with treachery and have deep resentment among the people.
My kingdom was taken away because of the eunuchs, but why can't they use this as a rule to achieve long-term governance? Why are there still such things as ten permanent servants, eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty, and nine thousand years in the Ming Dynasty?"
After Qin Zheng heard Chen Ye's words, he thought of the history he had just read and asked strangely, it has been thousands of years, how come it keeps repeating itself?
"A philosopher once said that the only lesson humans can learn from history is that humans will not learn lessons from history.
Classes are solidified, vested interests are unwilling to let go of their interests, and the lower class is eager to break through the monopoly and redistribute.
This kind of contradiction will never disappear. Even if those in power are willing to live a miserable life, it is impossible for those below to do things seriously.
Another client of mine is Emperor Chongzhen. He was the 16th emperor of the Ming Dynasty, a king who subjugated his country. You don’t know that the capital of the Ming Dynasty alone had more than 100 million taels of wealth.
But the treasury was empty, and Chongzhen's clothes were torn and he had no money to ask the eunuchs to replace them with new ones. Instead, he mended them, and he couldn't raise hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the war. Do you think he didn't know the rules of the demise of a dynasty?"
Qin Zheng was stunned by Chen Ye's words. He silently thought about the truth and nodded for a while.
"You said that, and I agree. Everyone has selfish motives."
"Okay, Brother Zheng, I have already informed Brother Bei and Lao Zhu. When they arrive, how about we take you to have a good meal and drink together and see the night view in the technological age?
With my help, both of them changed the outcome of history, led their dynasties to become prosperous and strong again, quelled civil strife, made people's lives better, and reversed the situation of national collapse.
You are both the kings of subjugation, and you must have many common topics about subjugation. Liu Bei weaves straw sandals, you love figurines, and Chongzhen works overtime like crazy. You have your own unique personality traits."
Qin Zheng looked at Chen Ye with a dark look on his face. He didn't understand why this mysterious man from later generations could be so frivolous when he clearly had supreme power.
However, Chen Ye's words still aroused the anger in his heart. They were both the kings of the country's subjugation, but he was the founder of the country. How could he be compared to those successors who relied on the prestige of their fathers? Only Liu Bei could compare.
However, he still noticed that Chen Ye mentioned a key point.
"Shopkeeper, are you saying that they changed history with your help?"
"Yes, you have already seen the function of the display window. The materials in this world are so rich that you can't imagine. As long as there are endless materials, corvee becomes part-time work. Do you think the people will still resist?"
"work to earn a living?"
Qin Zheng muttered the name Chen Ye said and was about to ask, when he saw a circle of light appear in front of him.
Then, a young man walked out, and immediately the light flashed, and another fat old man walked out.
