Time Travel: The First Female Imperial Teacher of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 18 It seems that you are the only one who understands the First Emperor

In an instant, the court was shaken!

All the court officials were stunned. They thought that the First Emperor had lost his former vigor.

But at this moment, they suddenly woke up and realized that he was still the decisive and murderous Ancestral Dragon King!

Only then did they remember that the First Emperor had personally killed thousands of common people and nobles who opposed him, killed his own brothers, and forced his mother to commit suicide.

Only then did they understand that the First Emperor was still the iron-blooded emperor, and he would be ruthless to any rebel!

Meng Yi had an expressionless face as he dragged nearly ten ministers who were involved and chopped off their heads. Everyone looked at the bloody scene in front of them and was terrified. They no longer had any unreasonable thoughts. They knew very well that if they made any unusual moves, they would be killed on the spot.

General Wang Jian looked at the scene in front of him and felt relieved: "Your Majesty's heroic spirit is back! It seems that we will have big moves again!"

Sure enough, not long after, Ying Zheng gave the order: "Prepare to assemble the army, and in two months, we will march to Donghu!"

Wang Jian was overjoyed: "I obey your command!"

The entire imperial city was shaken, and everyone was worried about getting into trouble. Ying Zheng's thunderous means made everyone dare not have any dissent. In just half a month, the imperial city had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Those ministers who were once arrogant and domineering were now silent and cautious, fearing that they would lose their lives.

Zhao Gao's case was also quickly concluded: Zhao Gao colluded with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and attempted to rebel. He was beheaded in public and his property was confiscated.

This is a warning to the nobles, but it is a good thing for the common people.

The successive purges made the entire Qin Dynasty much clearer.

However, Lin Anlan did not take these to heart. She was very busy these days, guiding the people to plant new potatoes and studying movable type printing.

"Isn't this movable type printing too difficult?"

She was a little depressed. Although she had tried very hard, the progress was still slow, which made her very frustrated.

At this time, Ying Zheng and Meng Yi walked in, and the former smiled slightly and said, "Girl, are you busy?"

Lin Anlan looked up and saw the former looking at her with a smile.

At this moment, Ying Zheng did not have the majesty of the morning court at all, but instead looked like a kind elder. Lin Anlan could not help but tease, "Hey, brother, why are you so free today? Don't you have to do business?"

"I'm taking a break today, so I came to see you, girl." Ying Zheng waved his hand.

"Brother Zhao has been talking about Mr. Lin a lot these days!" Meng Yi also smiled.

Lin Anlan's mouth twitched: "Haha, I think you are talking about the good bar here!"

Despite saying that, she still washed her hands, then took out some wine and peanuts from the house, and the three of them ate while chatting.

Lin Anlan asked casually: "Is there anything interesting happening in the court recently?"

Meng Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "There is one thing, I wonder if it can be considered interesting."

"Oh? Tell me."

"A few days ago, His Majesty personally ordered the execution of Zhao Gao, the Minister of the Imperial Chariots, and a dozen other ministers who colluded with him." Meng Yi observed Lin Anlan's expression imperceptibly.

Lin Anlan smiled lightly: "This is not a funny thing, it's just to be expected."

Meng Yi asked in confusion: "Mr. Lin had already expected this?"

Lin Anlan nodded: "That's right. In fact, the reason why Your Majesty killed Zhao Gao is very simple."

"The first reason is that Zhao Gao is no longer useful. He has been forming cliques and engaging in private activities for many years, and his power is huge. But it is obviously unwise for him to choose to rebel at this time. The second reason is that Zhao Gao has aroused public outrage. The people are already extremely angry about the remnants of the six princes who assassinated His Majesty, but Zhao Gao still wants to collude with them. Isn't this courting death? The third reason is that Zhao Gao is too greedy. He is already an important official in the court, but he still wants more power and even wants to control the prince. This is simply courting death!"

"In short, Zhao Gao was not wrongly killed at all."

Meng Yi was stunned. He knew that Lin Anlan was an extraordinary person, but he never expected that such a woman who lived far away in the fields could see the situation in the court so clearly.

At this time, Wang Jian was filled with rage. After carefully looking at Ying Zheng, he suddenly asked, "Mr. Lin, what kind of person do you think the First Emperor is?"

Lin Anlan didn't really care. After thinking for a while, he said, "In my eyes, your majesty is a wise, brave, and resolute emperor. But your majesty is under too much pressure. He shoulders the burden of the safety of the entire country and the livelihood of the people, which makes him very tired."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng was silent for a while, then sighed: "Yes, His Majesty the First Emperor is really tired!"

Lin Anlan said softly, "I know that the First Emperor was forced to do many things, such as attacking the six kingdoms and burning books and burying scholars. But brother, have you ever thought that the people don't understand his difficulties. They only see that he started a war and many people died; he burned books and killed many scholars. They will think that the First Emperor is a tyrant and a cruel and ruthless emperor."

"I think His Majesty the First Emperor should not care!" Ying Zheng's expression suddenly became firm.

However, Lin Anlan chuckled: "No, he cares!"

Ying Zheng was stunned. Before he could say anything, he heard the former continue: "No one in the world understands the First Emperor. I think this is too unfair!"

"People think that the First Emperor is heartless and ungrateful, but I think he is more loyal and righteous than anyone else. He has been working hard for the country and the people all his life, and every decision he made may affect the lives of millions of people. He could have given up and lived an easy life, but he didn't. Instead, he chose the most difficult path. Doesn't this explain the problem?"

"The First Emperor has been burdened with too many grievances and misunderstandings. He has suffered too much. If I could choose, I would rather you were an ordinary farmer. At least in that way, the First Emperor can live a peaceful life."

As she spoke, tears welled up in Lin Anlan's eyes. She didn't know why she said these words.

Perhaps, this is what she really thinks!

After hearing these words, Ying Zheng was also stunned, and then took a deep breath: "Girl, it seems that you are the only one who understands the First Emperor!"

"Brother, please don't say that. If it gets out, I'll be in danger!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Anlan said this, Meng Yi and Wang Jian looked at each other and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
