"First Emperor, we acknowledge your achievements. You swept across the six kingdoms and unified the seven kingdoms, truly establishing a unified imperial system."
"But your son is really not good either, not as good as our son."
"If we don't give it to him, he'll just take it himself, right, fourth brother?"
Old Zhu's words, spoken with a half-smile, sent a shiver down the spine of the younger version of Zhu Di who was standing nearby.
This……
Whether the answer is yes or no, it seems there's no good outcome.
Unfortunately, on the sky, Emperor Yongle (Zhu Di) actually answered, for reasons unknown!
"Father, I had no choice. You passed the throne to that scoundrel Zhu Yunwen, and he reduced the power of the princes, leaving no way out for us brothers. If I don't rebel, death is the only thing waiting for me!"
Zhu Di burst into tears.
"So you're saying we chose the wrong person?"
Old Zhu frowned in displeasure.
"That's for sure, that scoundrel Zhu Yunwen too..."
Zhu Di casually remarked.
Halfway through my sentence, I suddenly realized that what I was saying sounded rather disrespectful.
But his reaction was somewhat too late.
The young Zhu Di looked up and saw the old Zhu standing in front of him with a dark face.
"Fourth brother, it seems you're quite dissatisfied that we didn't choose you as the crown prince?"
"Emperor Yongle, Emperor Taizong, you are very powerful."
"You dare to talk back to us in public, huh?"
"Do you want this commoner, Zhu Yuanzhang, along with his wife, Lady Ma, and his son, Zhu Biao, to kowtow before the Yongle Emperor and beg for his forgiveness?"
Zhu Di: “…”
Emperor Yongle (Zhu Di): "..."
On the contrary, it belongs to Tiangang.
So what to do now?
"Father, I was wrong!"
"Father, I was wrong!"
Regardless of the era, Zhu Di almost always spoke in unison.
The former was motivated by his own guilt.
The latter was to avoid getting beaten up.
Both spoke from the heart.
"Hmph, I'll remember this beating; it's only a matter of time!"
Old Zhu snorted coldly and looked back at the sky.
Before the next paragraph of the immortal's summary could even appear, the comments section was already buzzing.
The main problem was that Ying Zheng didn't understand the meaning behind Lao Zhu's words.
My son is not as good as your son?
If you're talking about Hu Hai, I'll admit it. After all, he was listed by the immortals as a ruler who brought about the downfall of his country. How could he be a good person?
But if we're talking about Fusu!
I do not agree to that!
"Although Fusu is somewhat indecisive, he is capable. Moreover, starting from the Second Emperor, his benevolence is needed to appease the people. This is the path I have arranged for him."
"If you want to find fault with him based on his personality, I disagree!"
The whole thing started when Ying Zheng was unconvinced by Zhu Yuanzhang's assessment.
But his words only made things worse, as many people burst out laughing.
"Emperor Qin Shi Huang, it's not that I want to find fault with his personality, it's just that he's so disappointing!"
"If he had just put in a little effort, what chance would Emperor Gaozu have had?"
The 200,000-strong army left for Fusu and Meng Tian seemed to be invisible to Fusu.
With an army of 200,000 men at your command, you still committed suicide because of an imperial edict of dubious authenticity.
No normal person with a brain would do such a thing!
Those 200,000 troops were the true elite of the Qin Dynasty. Under Meng Tian's leadership, they were absolutely unstoppable and could conquer Xianyang without batting an eye!
Li Si and Zhao Gao are only good at manipulating politics, but when it comes to military affairs, even the two of them together are no match for Meng Tian!
But Fusu committed suicide without asking why.
This put Meng Tian in a very awkward position.
Die, I'm not reconciled.
Even if he doesn't die, neither Zhao Gao nor Li Si will let him go, since he raised an army on his own without a legitimate cause.
Ultimately, left with no other choice, in order to preserve his own and his family's reputation, he had no choice but to follow Fusu in death.
Ying Zheng left Fusu with his biggest trump card, which he then discarded like a worn-out shoe!
While Ying Zheng may be right, if Fusu had ascended the throne, perhaps he could have allowed the people to recuperate and thrive.
Unfortunately, Fusu's biggest mistake was that he failed to ascend the throne due to his extremely pedantic personality!
"That's right, First Emperor. Although I don't like Li Er's words, he's too arrogant, but what he said this time is absolutely true."
"This Fusu is far too weak!"
"Your son's abilities are not even comparable to Old Zhu's, let alone Li Er's."
"He might be a little better than Zhao Heizi, after all, his son was never an emperor."
Liu Che's words offended everyone, both superiors and subordinates.
Li Er: "?"
"Are you implying that my son is inferior to Old Zhu?"
Zhao Kuangyin: "?"
"I was merely harmed by treacherous people; I will not repeat that mistake in the future!"
Ying Zheng: "?"
"He's only slightly better than Zhao Heizi's son who never became emperor? Is that even possible? What exactly did Fusu do to cause everyone to have such a strong opinion against him?"
"Wasn't Huhai the last emperor of my Great Qin Dynasty?"
He couldn't understand it.
A pair of eyes were fixed on the barrage of comments on the screen, as if trying to find an answer among the responses.
Just as someone was about to take a moment to answer him, the writing on the sky began to change.
The Second Emperor of Qin, Huhai!
The eighteenth son of the First Emperor, and the last ruler of the Qin Dynasty.
Emperor Qin Shi Huang, obsessed with the elixir of immortality, commissioned the alchemist Xu Fu to refine it.
However, he was unaware that the so-called elixir of immortality that Xu Fu refined contained harmful substances such as mercury.
Long-term use may cause hallucinations or even sudden death.
Regardless, the elixir of immortality he took did not grant him immortality; on the contrary, it shortened his lifespan.
Ying Zheng: “…”
He no longer had the mind to argue with people on the sky about Fusu's abilities.
A bigger problem has emerged.
"Seize him for me!"
Ying Zheng pointed at Xu Fu.
Upon seeing the words on the sky, Xu Fu was about to flee when he was tackled to the ground by armored soldiers on both sides.
"Xu Fu, when you were deceiving me, didn't you ever think about how terrible your death would be if I found out?"
Ying Zheng took two steps forward and stomped on Xu Fu's head, grinding it against the ground.
"If the immortal hadn't mentioned this today, I would have remained completely in the dark!"
"No wonder, these past two days you've been saying there are immortals in the East Sea, urging me to prepare a mirage for you, and three thousand boys and girls."
"It seems it's not the immortals of the East Sea who want it, but you."
"Xu Fu, you really have incredible courage."
In that instant, Ying Zheng understood many things.
Why has he felt a tightness in his chest ever since he started taking the elixir of immortality?
Xu Fu continued to argue that his methods were those of an immortal and could not be easily enjoyed by mortals.
So this wasn't some divine intervention at all, but rather a harmful scheme by that scoundrel Xu Fu!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have not deceived you. It is only that the immortal of the East Sea whom I believe in is not the same person as the immortal in the sky. He is unaware of the immortal of the East Sea's abilities!"
"The immortals of the East Sea truly possess the means to revive the dead and heal the wounded!"
Xu Fu quickly spoke up.
However, given the haste, his excuses were full of holes.
"Oh? Not the same person? The Immortal of the East Sea, is it?"
"Go and cut off all the flesh from his body, and throw his bones into the East Sea!"
"I want to see if your immortal from the East Sea can bring the dead back to life and heal your bones. Then I will believe you one more time."
