[Eight, the First Emperor's regret. ]

[Until the bamboo slips shrunk into toothpick shape stretched, we realized that our ancestor had been slandered for more than 2,000 years. ]

[So what is the regret of history? ]

[More than 36,000 Qin Dynasty bamboo slips unearthed in Shuihudi, Hubei in 1975 clearly recorded the true history of the Qin Shihuang period. ]

[These contents overturned our inherent understanding of Qin Shihuang. ]

[Many of these contents were unknown even to Sima Qian. 】

【“Sima Qian had not seen these historical materials at that time, but they suddenly appeared in front of us. That was the academic world. At that time, it can be said that they were spreading the news.”】.

【“When I first saw the Qin bamboo slips, I couldn’t believe my eyes.”】

【...】

【According to the unearthed Qin bamboo slips. 】

【In February of each year, the people cannot go into the mountains to cut trees, nor can they kill young birds. 】

【When recruiting soldiers, each household must leave a male soldier at home to take care of the elderly. 】

【Citizens who are less than 1.3 meters tall can be exempted from joining the army. 】

【If the army does not reach the destination as planned during the march, the officials only need to criticize it verbally. 】

【If the journey is delayed due to weather reasons, it can even be exempted from punishment and will not be beheaded. 】

【Even criminals can get 1,800 coins after working. 】

【This money was enough to support a family in Qin at that time. 】

【The Qin bamboo slips mainly record the laws, economy and culture from the late Warring States period to the period of Qin Shihuang. 】

【According to the contents of these unearthed Qin bamboo slips, we have to re-examine the real history. 】

【For 700 years since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the world has been divided into pieces, and the various countries have different powers. Everyone has different writing, different languages, different living habits, and different traditional beliefs, so they will fight at every turn. 】

【The first emperor destroyed the six countries, which now seems to be to eliminate these barriers. 】

【Ten years of war, sweeping across the six countries, pacifying the Baiyue in the south, attacking the Xiongnu in the north, and settling the Qiang in the west, the wheels of the vehicles are unified, the writing is unified, and the wheels of the vehicles are unified, and China is unified. 】

【To this day, China still exists. 】

【Whether it is good or bad, we have made up our minds. 】

[He never failed China, but history failed him. 】

"So, the First Emperor was not a tyrant?"

"Nonsense, how can an emperor who even pays criminals be a tyrant!?"

"When conscripting soldiers, he also left one male in each household. Just based on this, I don't believe heIt was as tyrannical and unjust as recorded in history books."

"Sima, old thief! Look at what you wrote! What a lousy history book! You don't know anything about history, you just write nonsense!"

"We have to re-examine history, re-examine the historians, and re-examine the First Emperor."

"The First Emperor just wanted to live forever, what was wrong with him? The fault was that Xu Fu was incompetent! He failed to find the elixir of immortality!"

"......"

The people of all dynasties were excited.

The first emperor of China, who had made great achievements throughout the ages, was actually slandered for more than two thousand years!

They also deeply realized a conclusion.

History is a little girl who can be dressed up by anyone, and it is all written by the victors.

Qin Dynasty.

All officials had tears in their eyes.

"Your Majesty! ”

“Did you see it?”

“You have been misunderstood for more than two thousand years, and now you have finally been vindicated.”

The officials beat their chests and stamped their feet, crying bitterly.

The old land of the six kingdoms.

Xiang Liang shouted at the light curtain: “Nonsense! He is clearly a tyrant!”

“He killed people, destroyed the six kingdoms, and killed my people!”

“He and I cannot coexist! ”

Xiang Yu beside him was thinking about something in a daze.

Since he was a child, he was told that his life mission was to overthrow the Qin Dynasty.

But now, he was a little shaken.

Xiang Yu murmured in despair: "Is he really not a tyrant, but we have to be rebels..."

· ···Please give flowers····· ·······

Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng did not say a word from beginning to end.

He did not even move a bit.

No need to speak, no need to make any moves.

He knew that future generations could finally understand him, could understand him... that was enough.

.............................................................................

Han Dynasty.

Sima Qian was on pins and needles, and the whole person was fidgeting.

"It's bad, it's bad. ”

“I have indeed never seen these Qin bamboo slips.”

Sweat began to form on his forehead.

Once the title of tyrant of the First Emperor disappeared, the history books he compiled would lose their fairness and be mixed with too much personal emotion.

0 ... 0

Then he would be the one to be scolded!

The one who suffered as badly as him was the Emperor.Liu Bang in the palace.

Liu Bang looked very unhappy.

As the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty and the overthrower of the Qin Dynasty, he was very clear about the impact of this video.

If the Qin Dynasty was better, his overthrow of the Qin Dynasty would be more like a traitor.

Liu Bang breathed quickly, thinking about how to protect his reputation.

Suddenly, he had an idea.

"Yes, yes!"

"I overthrew Qin Ershi, not the First Emperor."

"During the reign of Qin Ershi, the criminal law was extremely harsh, and the people were in dire straits and lived in misery."

"Yes, I overthrew Qin Ershi, not Ying Zheng."

"My Han Dynasty is still legitimate!"

Liu Bang finally smiled. The Qin bamboo slips in the video were from the reign of Ying Zheng, but not necessarily during the reign of Hu Hai.

............................................................................

Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked a little surprised.

He used to dislike the First Emperor and thought he was a tyrant.

He even listed Qin Shi Huang as a negative example to educate the princes.

But now, he was dumbfounded, "Isn't Qin Shi Huang a tyrant?"

"On the contrary, he is a wise ruler?"
