Even the historical books only record "natural disasters, the rise of many heroes."
Currently, the Big Qin series has not ended, and Zhao Pei an wants to surf the net to search for comprehensive historical data, but he finds that most of the historical data that can influence his judgment of the future are very vague.
The ultimate outcome of the Qin Dynasty was also the rise of feudal lords in Shandong, a scramble among the various strongmen, and ultimately Liu Bang declared himself emperor.
"Is that really how it's done?"
"Never mind, let's first comfort Liu Bang."
Zhao Ping'an pondered for a moment and thought of a poem:
"Wielding a three-foot sword to conquer the world, isn't that destiny?"
This is a statement about the future Liu Bang, used to describe himself.
A person who holds a three-foot sword to gain the world would not hesitate or falter, would they?
No, it's impossible.
So why did Liu Bang ask the question?
Who wouldn't be curious about their own future?
Liu Bang is one of the few rulers in history who did not seek immortality. Even when he knew he was on his deathbed, he refused treatment, showing a fierce determination.
The answer he needed was not necessarily to tell him about the future, was it?
This is Liu Bang, the one who sang, "The great wind rises and the clouds soar; where can a valiant man be found?"
Then what?
Through communication with Qin Shi Huang and Han Gaozu, two emperors of historical fame, Zhao Ping'an gradually came to understand:
When he communicates with geniuses throughout history, the attitude he should adopt is to impart knowledge, to let them change the world.
When communicating with these great emperors of ancient times, the attitude he should adopt is empathy!
It is to let these lonely kings of all ages have their own confidants, to help them express what they want to say!
Zhao Ping'an pondered for a moment and replied:
【I don't know how your future will be.】
【People who practice sorcery will not clearly tell others about their future, let alone you?】
【But what I want to tell you is, your friends, their future will be good.】
Give them a sweet orange first.
【Liu Ji, I still remember that you once said, a true man should be like this.】
What does a true man look like?
【Accept it calmly, seek change, don't be confined by oneself, this is what a true man looks like.】
【Have you forgotten what you told me?】
【Everything is predetermined; there is no need to strive unnecessarily, no need to wander in confusion.】
【What will come, will come.】
Zhao Ping'an is referring to Xiao He and Fan Kuai.
As for Xiao He, there's no need to mention him; this guy is just too gifted. Even if Liu Bang hadn't rebelled, with his intelligence, he could have held high office.
Fan Kuai is a butcher!
……
Liu Bang looked at the small wood plank in his hand and felt:
"Mother-fucker, a true confidant!"
"I never thought that although Brother is in high position, he is so in tune with my tastes?"
He felt more and more that he truly had a profound connection with his brother.
When he first met his brother, he felt it was fate, but he never imagined——
Brother's every word almost struck a chord with him!
Feeling inspired, he was about to close the small board when he saw the response on his hand:
【What do you think of the current state of the world?】
……
Zhao Ping'an did not forget his main task——
He still had to ask about the affairs of this world under Liu Bang.
The masses of the people are the creators of history.
Liu Bang represents the people's favor, asking him is a typical method of expert investigation.
Soon, Liu Bang replied:
【The world……】
【Brother, since you are the teacher of the emperor, I have no need to hide anything from you.】
【You have been kind to me and your advice is very palatable to me. Even if you sell me to the emperor, I would accept it.】
How many true friends does one have in life?
To have the chance to be honest with a friend and engage in an exchange of thoughts is itself a great luck in life.
Liu Bang felt that if he were sold by his brother, it would be his own failure to discern people, and it would not be the fault of others.
【I believe that the realm governed by the Grand Qin is not particularly good.】
【The emperor's laws are too harsh, despite the adjustment of the measure of collective punishment, they are still excessively cruel.】
【And there are taxes, too heavy, we have no time to manage our land properly.】
【And……】
Zhao Ping'an watched as Liu Bang continued to speak, and quickly came to an answer in his heart:
Although Ying Zheng had a basic impression of "benevolent rule," so far, all the "benevolent rule" he had done were what he considered to be benevolent rule.
He just made the original harsh laws a little milder.
Is it still considered harsh punishment?
Of course!
“It's almost impossible to convince Ying Zheng to change this……”
Zhao Ping'an gathered some information and replied to Liu Bang:
【Okay, we're both square now, and we're still bros.】
【Go have a good time with your wife. I've heard that Lü Zhi is an absolutely beautiful woman. Don't waste……】
……
Liu Bang looked at the small wooden plank and smiled gently.
Brother, despite his elevated status, speaks like a young man of twenty or so.
He returned to his bedroom, and Lü Zhi had already woken up.
"Liu Ji, you've returned……"
"Ji, you're back..." her voice was soft, "I thought you had gone somewhere."
"Hurry, I haven't finished playing yet."
Liu Bang suddenly felt a tightening down below.
……
Zhao Ping'an looked at his phone, and the chat with Liu Bang quickly ended.
“It seems that there is still a need to think of other methods……”
Should Qin Shi Huang adopt the Yellow and Old School of thought for rejuvenation and rest?
Impossible.
Qin State, starting from the Shangyang reform, has been a feudal state adhering to Legalism. How could such a state possibly change its direction simply because of a few words about "divine destiny"?
"It seems that I was just daydreaming..."
The WeChat notification sound rang, it was Huang teacher from the History College research group.
[Come over, quickly, there seems to be a new discovery from the History College that needs you to adjust the model.]
[It seems to be a stone tablet from the Qin and Han periods, engraved with words like "Zhao Zǐ", "Great Qin", "divine destiny", and "destruction"]
[You'd better come over and see. We need you to adjust the model to recognize this small seal script.]
"Ah?"
Zhao Ping'an was taken aback, "Me? What do you need me for?"
Actually, this matter, in the past, was quite common:
Zhao Ping'an, as a student in the history department who wants to transfer to the field of computer science, is already one of the most skilled in computers that the History College can find.
However, today's stone tablet...
"Zhao Zǐ?"
Rely on it, a stone tablet recording my own things?
Amazing, it's related to the fall of the Qin Dynasty!
He immediately became interested, "Let's take a look."
……
The Department of History at Soochow University, Archaeology.
The Archaeology Department of the History College at Soochow University is one of the few departments that have their own independent research labs. This independent research lab has many functions for basic historical research, such as carbon-14 dating, ancient DNA analysis, and metalworking analysis, etc.
Today, it is busy here:
The professor of the college, Mr. Huang, discovered a stone tablet from ancient times through field archaeology:
The script on the stone tablet is seal script, and it is evident that the age of this stone tablet is during the Qin and Han periods.
