"How can you nobles and nobles living in the hinterland understand the thoughts of those of us living in the border areas?"

"It's cold, and the barbarians want to live a better life, so they come to rob us."

"The princes want to dominate and show their power to the world, so they also come to attack us!"

"When have you ever considered the people down there? Do they want a lot? Is it difficult to get what they want?"

"They just want to survive! Is that hard?"

"Those people spontaneously went up to the city wall. Aren't they afraid?"

"They are afraid, but they understand one thing better. They can be afraid, but they cannot retreat! Because if they retreat, not only will they die, but their wives and children behind them will also die." Liu Hao squinted his eyes and looked at his son.

Xu said.

At this time, Zixu was already breaking out in a cold sweat. He did not expect that before the rise of Qin, the situation was so dangerous.

Almost every year, we experience a disaster that annihilates our country.

In the past, whenever he heard about the Hu people going south, he thought it was just a trivial matter.

The Hu people's disease was nothing more than ringworm, but he really didn't expect that the ringworm problem for his Jin country would be a disaster for the Qin country.

"In the final analysis, all of us in the Qin Kingdom just want to survive! This is my original intention."

"I am the king of Qin, and I need to be responsible for the people of Qin."

"Then, after our Qin State grew stronger and swept through the southwest, I discovered that I have the ability and should make the entire Zhou Dynasty or the mainland live a life without war!"

"The mainland has been in chaos for a long time. It's time for the people of the entire continent to live a stable life." Liu Hao said.

"The entire continent?" Hearing this, Zixu was a little moved, but then he burst out laughing.

"Do you know how big the continent is? How many people are there? How many vassal states are there?"

"You want the entire continent to be stable? Do you think you can do it?" Zixu said mockingly.

"Whether I succeed or not, at least I tried hard and I have a clear conscience." Liu Hao said slowly.

"So, what I care about is not the throne, what I care about is the people."

"As long as there are people, our Qin State will have a steady supply of troops, build a huge army, and work hard for the dreams in our hearts." Liu Hao looked at Zixu and said.

"Do you know?" Liu Hao poured himself a bowl of wine again and said slowly.

"Actually, before Hanwang Mountain, after the barbarians attacked Xia Yang, His Majesty had intended to abdicate the throne to me, but I did not accept it."

"Because, one is that I don't want to proclaim myself emperor, or the time to do so has not yet come."

"The other thing is actually the public support of the entire Zhou Dynasty that I want. So, the matter of proclaiming the emperor? I'm not in a hurry."

"I want to do this when my reputation reaches its peak."

"What? Yuan Chen wants to abdicate the throne?" Zixu was shocked when he heard the news for the first time.

Liu Hao nodded and said nothing.

"Hahaha? How can I invite you to become emperor? You don't agree to divide the world equally! It turns out that Yuan Chen wants to abdicate to you!" Zixu suddenly laughed.

"Perhaps you don't believe it? But what I want to say is? Even without His Majesty's abdication? I would not agree to proclaim the emperor."

"Why?" Zixu asked.

"Because, once I claim the title of emperor without a legitimate name, I will lose the support of the people of this great Zhou Dynasty."

"People's hearts are scattered? I need to spend more time to integrate the people's hearts in Dazhou. This is not in line with my expectations." Liu Hao said.

"Why do I feel that you are in a hurry? You seem to want to do something, but you don't have much time?" Zixu asked with some confusion when he heard that Liu Hao had been emphasizing the people's support and other things.

"There is something to do." Liu Hao nodded directly and said.

"Oh? Can you tell me something?"

"There's nothing I can't say." Liu Hao once again finished his drink and said, "Actually, I want to see peace in the world in my lifetime."

When Zixu heard Liu Hao's words, he was shocked and speechless.

After a long time, Zixu said slowly, "Your dream is quite big."

"You live your whole life? You have to find a goal for yourself." Liu Hao shook his head and said, "I'm a lazy person and don't want to set too many goals for myself, so I just set a bigger one that allows me to strive for my whole life.

The goal."

"Your heart is really big." Zixu looked at Liu Hao and said with a bit of laughter.

"By the way, what are you going to do with me and my clan?" Zixu suddenly asked seriously.

"Do you want to hear the truth, or lies?" Liu Hao answered without raising his head.

"Of course I want to hear the truth!" Zixu said slowly, staring at Liu Hao.

"You won't survive." Liu Hao said lightly.

"You have ascended the throne and proclaimed yourself emperor. Although I, the State of Qin, have not recognized this, it is already a fact. No one can change it, so you must die." Liu Hao said helplessly.

When Zixu heard Liu Hao's words, he was not angry, but instead had an expression that was true.

His family knew about his family's affairs, and he knew that by ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, he was embarking on a path of no return.

There is no compromise at all. Whether he surrenders or is captured, there is only one way to go.

If he had not proclaimed himself emperor, Liu Hao could have still managed to save Zixu's life, but now, Liu Hao had no choice.

"But I will make arrangements for your family and tribe." Liu Hao glanced at Zixu and said.

"That's enough." Zixu nodded after hearing Liu Hao's words.

If what Liu Hao said is true, then Zixu feels that Liu Hao has done enough.

If his and Liu Hao's positions were exchanged, he would directly order the execution of everyone related to Liu Hao.

This is not because Zixu is cruel, but because he must do it in order to make his rule more stable.

He didn't know that the information from Liu Hao could calm the people's resentment in Jin, or that the courage from Liu Hao could ensure that his descendants would not use his name to avenge and restore the country.

"I know what you are thinking, but since I said I would protect your clan, I will definitely get it."

"You don't have to worry about me actually lying to you. What you worry about is that someone will use their identity to cause trouble."

"But I have many ways to solve it, so whether to kill or not to kill is the same to me."

"As long as they can lead them honestly, no matter what happens outside, even if someone uses their identity to rebel, it will be fine. What's more, I don't think anyone is willing to continue fighting."

"Where do you get your confidence?" Zixu asked strangely.

"Because they wanted to rebel, but found that they couldn't recruit soldiers at all. Do you think they can continue to fight?"

"How is that possible?" Zixu was surprised.

He didn't understand how it was possible to encounter a situation where he couldn't recruit soldiers.
