Chapter 33 The Qin King and Immortality

    Zhao Ping'an was startled.

    His eyes drooped down.

    Asking this question is equivalent to asking Zhao Ping'an,

    What should the future of the State of Qin be like?

    From the moment he got this game, he had never seriously considered this question –

    He had always regarded it as a game.

    But it was not until now, when Emperor Qin Shi Huang respectfully asked him, that he realized:

    He realized that he was not just a reader of history, but an influencer and a witness to history.

    This time his reading of historical materials had no distinction between first-hand and second-hand materials. Instead, the historical materials should record himself.

    In history, the Qin Dynasty was known for its rule by law, which ultimately led to its downfall within two reigns.

    However, ruling by law is not wrong.

    Of course not!

    As a student who was only one point away from becoming the provincial champion in the high school history exam, looking at this question, he had his own answer in mind:

    Absolutely not wrong!

    Ruling by law is certainly not wrong!

    Ruling by law is theoretically not wrong, and even in later times, the concept of a state governed by law remained in practice.

    What is wrong is just the approach taken.

    The law in Qin was too harsh.

    The "Nine Chapters Law" of the Han Dynasty was based on the "Qin Law," yet why was the "Nine Chapters Law" praised?

    The Confucianists, Mo Daoism, and other schools of thought did not compete for power, nor did they seek to control the military, medicine, agriculture, or divination.

    For this feudal society, the Legalist ideology was indeed the most suitable.

    "Does Your Majesty not have an answer in your heart?"

    Zhao Ping'an looked at the mobile phone screen, and Emperor Qin Shi Huang replied to him quickly:

    "I want to invite you to come."

    Zhao Ping'an helplessly said:

    "Ruling the country by law, relying on morality as the basis, adhering to the rule of law, and achieving national stability and stability in the world."

    "What is law?"

    "Han Fei once said, 'A state is strong when the laws are strictly observed; a state is weak when the laws are not.' "

    "Your Majesty, think about it. Qin Zhuang Wang united twenty-six states and expanded the territory to three thousand miles. The folk of Zhongjin sacrificed their social order and the country of Chu fell."

    "The role of laws and regulations is emphasized here."
