Chapter 529: The First Emperor's Pattern
Chapter 529: The First Emperor's Pattern
Bo Xun smiled coldly.
He absolutely did not believe that Chu Yun’s luck could continue!
That's right!
This kid must be really lucky!
Those two idiots Huangdi and Chiyou are incomprehensible, but how could Bo Xun not understand this dying emperor?
he……
You understand human nature so well!
He himself was born from the seven emotions and six desires, gifted with supernatural powers and the ability to control his emotions.
In myths and legends, he is good at inducing and stimulating the dark side deep in the hearts of all living beings, using this as nourishment to continuously strengthen himself.
During these countless years, he witnessed with his own eyes how foolish too many emperors became in their later years.
No matter how heroic this emperor was when he was young, he would become paranoid in his later years and do things that are incomprehensible to others.
Especially after gaining absolute power, one wants immortality!
That's right!
The biggest problem that troubles the emperor of the world.
It has never been about money, power, sex, etc.
They have reached the pinnacle of this world and can easily achieve what ordinary people yearn for throughout their lives.
So they have no desires?
Do not!
Po Xun, who personally opened up the Desire Realm, knows too well what these top beings in the world want most.
Immortality!
This is a topic that no emperor in history, past or present, can avoid.
Bo Xun looked at Chu Yun coldly.
He wanted to see whether Chu Yun would die in this turning point of the times!
In fact, after experiencing the scene of meeting Huangdi and Chiyou ancestor last time.
Chu Yun also roughly understood the solution to this demonic trial.
Simply put, he seemed to have traveled through time and personally experienced an important moment of an era.
Although he seems to be an outsider, he bears the gift of the times.
The gifts of this era are both good and bad.
The good thing is that if the era can continue on its established trajectory, and someone solves a difficult problem of the great era, then the vast power of the entire era seems to have recognized him, Chu Yun.
It can help him control the evil thoughts of an entire era and use them for his own benefit!
These evil thoughts are the summary of all the complex emotions of an era and the dark sides of the human world.
No wonder this way of becoming possessed by the devil is called the true meaning of the devil by Po Xun.
After all, the traditional ways of becoming a demon, such as proving one's truth through killing and breaking one's own inner demons, are all included in one era and are just part of an entire era.
That is why one can imagine how powerful a creature that has successfully attained enlightenment and become a demon through the ages will be!
Of course, the consequences of failure are just as dire.
Just as Bo Xun expected, it was impossible for Chu Yun to resist the backlash of an era.
The gifts of the times will bring endless benefits.
Similarly, it will also bring extremely horrific backlash to Chu Yun!
But it was beyond Bo Xun's expectations.
Chu Yun seemed too lazy to pay attention to him.
I haven't prepared anything.
Instead, he appeared directly in front of the man who was sitting alone on the throne.
"You...you are..."
On the throne, the First Emperor opened his eyes slightly and fixed his gaze on Chu Yun.
From beginning to end, there was no emotion on the Emperor's face.
It's impossible to tell what his mood is.
In fact, at this time, the First Emperor should have been very panicked.
After all, a stranger suddenly appeared in front of him.
Anyone would be instinctively alert.
Not to mention the First Emperor who was often assassinated.
But obviously.
This old ancestor of Da Xia had already begun to feel wary deep in his heart.
But from the outside, no one can see anything!
He has experienced so much in his life.
Maybe some people would say that the First Emperor had a good life.
But is his life really good?
He was born in an enemy country and suffered humiliation since childhood. After he returned to his country, his father finally became king.
But soon my father died...
How old was he at that time? He was not even twenty years old, how could he have the ability to protect himself?
Since ancient times, the most brutal and deadly competition must be the struggle for supreme royal power!
At such a young age, he was involved in this dispute.
Fortunately, he had a prime minister who was closely related to his interests and protected him from the wind and rain.
But what happened next?
Although he was young, he sat on the throne.
But his mother did not love him. She gave birth to children with her lover Lao Ai and even planned to kill him and let her child with her lover inherit the throne.
What else could he do?
Everyone said that he was cruel and ruthless, and that his laws were strict and unforgiving.
Yes.
The law is above everything and has no room for emotion.
He could only sharpen his knife and attack his relatives ruthlessly.
Because only in this way can he set an example for the people of the world.
In the face of the law, even the king cannot violate it!
after that.
He sat firmly on the throne, and he realized the great vision that the six generations of Qin Fen had left behind.
His virtues match those of the Three Sovereigns, and his achievements surpass those of the Five Emperors.
The title of Emperor was created by using the "Huang" of the Three Sovereigns and the "Di" of the Five Emperors!
The First Emperor ruled the world from then on!
If we say that such a person is the kind of person who shows his joy on his face and has no scheming, he would have a simple temperament like what is portrayed in some historical materials, film and television dramas of later generations.
It's simply not realistic.
After all, how could a person who has managed to survive step by step in such an environment become an emperor who shows his joy easily and acts arbitrarily?
Chu Yun couldn't say that he knew his ancestor very well.
But he also didn't think that the First Emperor was impossible to talk to or that he was a stubborn and self-willed person.
Chu Yun made up an identity and used a reason that the First Emperor could easily accept.
He said he was an immortal from heaven and demonstrated several magical powers.
The First Emperor was slightly stunned, and then joy appeared in his eyes.
Fairy!
This is the opportunity he has been dreaming of for the rest of his life!
He really wanted to meet a real immortal.
Because there are still too many things left to be done in his heart.
He didn't want to die. He didn't want to succumb to fate so early before he could realize his glorious ambitions.
With a strong sense of unwillingness, he fell in this era.
Do not!
The immortal finally appeared!
You can have time to finish your own things!
The First Emperor could not hide his joy and his body trembled slightly.
But soon, Chu Yun's words gave the First Emperor a heavy blow.
Chu Yun told the First Emperor his life story.
Including future directions.
As he listened, the joy in the Emperor's heart gradually subsided.
He could see that the "immortal" in front of him was not here to offer him the secret of immortality.
Instead, it was like a friend coming to inform him and tell him something.
It was like arranging his funeral affairs in advance so that he wouldn't have to worry so much about the future.
Can……
But is this what he wants?
no.
There are so many things he wants to do!
"Immortal...Immortal, is what you said true?"
"My Great Qin will perish in the second generation?"
"I am 49 years old this year, 50 years old in nominal age, but I will die in the sand dunes during my last inspection next year?"
The First Emperor's tone was very calm.
This was beyond Chu Yun's expectations.
In Chu Yun's opinion, the First Emperor pursued immortality throughout his life and dedicated his life to the Qin Dynasty, the foundation of his ancestors.
After hearing that the ancestral foundation that he cared about most would be destroyed.
If you were a normal person, you would be a little emotional, right?
But the First Emperor's voice was so calm.
Ok? !
Even Bo Xun noticed that something was wrong.
what happened?
Did I guess wrong again?
Do not!impossible!
For mortals, especially those imperial families who have laid a supreme foundation in the long river of history.
No one understands their nature better than him, Bo Xun!
They are afraid of death more than anyone else!
How could it be so peaceful?
Po Xun's pupils shrank slightly.
The First Emperor seemed to have noticed Chu Yun’s doubts.
He suddenly smiled silently.
"Yes, the immortal is not wrong."
"There are so many things I want to do in my life."
"But time waits for me."
"I also want to live forever."
Having said this, the First Emperor suddenly changed his tone.
"However, although I have regrets in this life, they are enough."
"Looking back through the dynasties, going back a hundred years, the year before last, or even ten thousand years, who has ever achieved what I have done?"
"I boast that my virtues are equal to those of the Three Sovereigns and my achievements are greater than those of the Five Emperors. Is it not too much to call myself the First Emperor?"
"I don't want to die, but I don't want everything I created with my own hands to be destroyed in the unknown future."
"Indeed, as the immortal said, I seem to have a chance to change all this. I can completely not go to Shaqiu next year, kill Zhao Gao in advance, and curb Li Si's ambition."
“But will the future be better than the present?”
"At least the future will be just as the immortals said. Although Qin will be destroyed, China will not be extinct. From now on, the idea of great unification will be deeply engraved in the minds of every future generation."
"Such a future, why wouldn't I want to see it with my own eyes?"
The First Emperor laughed.
As he said these words, his eyes, which had long been exhausted and dull, became exceptionally bright.
It seemed as if somehow a grand and prosperous future had already been outlined in his mind.
In the future era.
No one calls themselves the old Qin people anymore, and there are no more Chu people, Wei people, Han people, Qi people, etc.
People all have a common name.
People also have a common belief.
And this is where it all started.
It did not start with the Shang Dynasty, nor did it start with King Wen of Zhou.
But it started from him, the First Emperor!
A real man is born between heaven and earth, and having such achievements, what is there to be dissatisfied about?
"actually……"
"In fact, I have already foreseen this outcome, which is why I don't want to die, and even fear death."
"Because I know very well that if I die, the world will be in chaos."
"As long as I live, the world will not collapse."
"After all, we, the Qin people, established our country through war, and with Shang Yang's laws, we have given the entire country a new look."
"In times of war, such cruel laws can ensure the strength of the country, and make our Great Qin go from weak to strong, and from then on it became a pure war machine."
"But this state has continued for many, many generations. The spirit of the old Qin people has been tense for generations, and it is approaching the moment of breaking."
The next moment, the First Emperor slowly stood up and walked out of the hall.
"Besides, we, the Qin people, have broken the tradition that has been passed down since ancient times."
"The six kingdoms were destroyed and the world was revived. The writing system was unified and the wheels were standardized."
"For us, the Qin people, this is the great cause of ruling the world and everything that lays the foundation for future generations."
"But for the rest of the people who have their own writing, accents, living habits, and even ancestral cultural heritage since ancient times, our Great Qin is the villain who destroyed their country and ruined their heritage."
"This is a life-and-death feud that has been passed down from generation to generation."
"Put yourself in their shoes. If I were in their shoes, and another country treated Qin like this, I would know exactly what I would do."
"So, if I die, how can the world not collapse?"
"It would be better to give all living beings in the world a goal and establish an opposite side that they can unite against."
"My Immortal, do you think that a second-generation rich man who does all kinds of evil is more likely to make the people angry and hate him, or is a gentle and wise ruler more likely to win the hearts of the people?"
The First Emperor suddenly glanced at Chu Yun. His eyes were so deep that it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"I don't know what the immortal is thinking, but in my opinion, this is the only way to gather the people's hearts and minds, lead the trend of the times, and once again open up a great unified dynasty."
After hearing the words of the First Emperor, Chu Yun's heart trembled.
At this moment, Chu Yun finally truly understood his ancestor.
He doesn't want to die, he is afraid of death.
Of course, he cared very much about the family business left to him by his Qin ancestors.
This is human nature. Let alone an emperor who holds the highest power in the world, even a wealthy man would not want to give away his wealth to others.
but!
The First Emperor’s pattern was different.
Just like back then, he was able to establish an image that the law is respected and that even the king cannot violate the laws of the Qin Dynasty.
He could endure what ordinary people could not endure and even attacked his own relatives.
So today.
After hearing about the prosperous future, he will be able to suppress the selfish thoughts in his heart and consider the world!
The First Emperor spent his entire life making choices.
As a child, he chose to endure and lie dormant, allowing the enemy to tease and insult him, because he knew that he could not get angry, he had no right to be angry, and he had to protect his own little life.
When he was young, he chose to decisively abandon the old Qin royal family and instead rely on Prime Minister Lu Buwei, even calling him Prime Minister Father, which was equivalent to treating him as the second father.
At that time, he was very clear that he had no choice but to do this. Otherwise, how could he, a descendant of a returned hostage, compete with those old nobles who had complex connections and developed in the Qin Dynasty for hundreds of years?
He needs strength!
Any power is worth fighting for.
Later, he was still doing multiple-choice questions.
Between family affection and law, he chose law.
Today, between the foundation laid by his ancestors and future generations, he chose future generations.
Throughout his life, this ancestor of ours always had the courage to face the choices of fate, never escaping and never retreating.
At this moment, Chu Yun truly understood the life of the First Emperor.
"By the way, Immortal can rest assured."
"The elite troops of my Qin people will not be lost in this dispute."
"For the legions heading south, I will issue an imperial decree not to return home and to establish a base in the southern border."
"A part of the army in the north will still guard the national border to prevent the barbarians from coming to the border."
"How can we, the great Qin army, which is powerful enough to conquer the world and is invincible, be wasted in this chaotic world, digging our own graves and leaving hidden dangers for future generations?"
"I won't allow it, and I don't want to."
"This destined chaos cannot shake the foundation of our clan."
"The world I wish for, wherever our troops point, shall all be our country's territory."
"All nations and races yearn for it and regard it as a paradise on earth!"
