Daqin: A buff of incredible comprehension

Chapter 175 "You really don't care? You won't punish them?"

Darkness also has his share of responsibility, and his loyalty seems too foolish.

Imagine if he had been able to guide the young emperor correctly and offer some helpful advice, would the outcome have been different? Given the young emperor's level of trust in him, would he still have blindly followed his ministers? All I can say is that Bud was truly foolish.

Compared to Emperor Xian of Han during the Three Kingdoms period, who lacked the protection of powerful generals, the young emperor was fortunate, though he encountered an incorrigible general. From the moment he ascended the throne, the young emperor was tightly controlled by his ministers, completely unaware of the outside world and forced to blindly follow their deceptions, ultimately leading to his demise. This is truly a pathetic act.

But in Zhao Chen's view, this was nothing. To overthrow the old dynasty, the young emperor must be guillotined. The new empire must eliminate all the hidden dangers of the old empire. It can only be said that there must be something hateful about a pathetic person!

But now, the little emperor was lucky, at least he managed to escape from Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen had never thought of attacking the little emperor, as doing so was meaningless.

Zhao Chen has already controlled the entire world. How much trouble can a little emperor stir up in his hands?

**The army also learned that this powerful man who could predict the future through divination tools had already noticed the great changes in the imperial capital and his fate had changed.

They had sent several ** into the imperial capital early on to gather all the intelligence, and thus learned about the release of Ye Xi, the ** ministers, and many other nobles.

Even the Hunter Organization founded by Esdeath got involved, which made the Japanese army very confused:

Did Esdeath defect from the Empire?

However, they were unable to get in touch with Night Raid, which only deepened their doubts.

**The top military brass had all sorts of ominous premonitions in their hearts. What on earth had happened in the imperial capital?

At the same time, Zhao Chen has integrated the "Zhan Chi" world into the subsidiary of the Daqin world and placed it outside the main world.

Afterwards, Zhao Chen introduced Esdeath to Yan Fei and Kuang San. After completing all this, Zhao Chen went to meet the First Emperor, and was ridiculed by the First Emperor as soon as he entered the door.

"Hey, isn't this the figure of our Great Qin Crown Prince? What made you think of coming here today? You've been spending time with those girls lately, right? You've been having a very comfortable time."

"If it weren't for your own strength, my case would be piled high with impeachment memorials. Allegations like 'The Crown Prince of Qin is obsessed with women and is detrimental to the country' would be circulating."

"Look at this! These are all impeachment memorials from Confucian scholars, criticizing you, the Crown Prince."

"Oh, let them talk as they please, as long as their mouths can move." (From Qian Nuo)

"You really don't care? You won't punish them?"

"What's the point of punishing them? Isn't it better to keep these self-proclaimed scholars alive? They can provide me with some fun from time to time. Besides, there's a new world we can give them to educate the foreigners over there. Isn't it said that 'there is no distinction in education'? Haven't they always complained that you favor our family over Confucian scholars? Isn't this your chance?"

"Oh, you conquered another world."

"Yes, this is information about the world of Zan Aka."

Zhao Chen placed the information about the world of "Zhan Chi" in front of the First Emperor.

"I've basically dealt with the other issues. The only ones left are the imperial army and the alien races. Father, why don't you let my brother directly serve as the ruler of that world? Let's see if he can make it as prosperous as the Qin Dynasty."

The First Emperor: ??? Zhao Gao: ???

"You little brat, didn't we say that the Great Qin doesn't interfere in the affairs of other worlds? All we need is for them to submit to the Great Qin and be allowed to govern themselves. Why are you letting your brother be your boss now?"

"I can't help it! Esdeath doesn't want to manage that world, so we from Great Qin have to send someone there. It's a good opportunity to train my brother."

Upon hearing this, the First Emperor didn't show any joy at the brotherly harmony. Instead, his expression grew grim. "Chen'er, what are you really thinking? Are you trying to make amends to your brother? Are you feeling guilty about taking his crown prince position, which is why you're thinking this way? Or are you paving the way for your brother, waiting for him to take over my throne a hundred years from now?"

"That's impossible. Why would you think that, Father? Would you abdicate now?"

"Don't try to get away with this. Even if I do achieve immortality in the future, as the Human Emperor, after accumulating sufficient merit, the throne will naturally pass to you, and you will be the next Human Emperor. Do you really think I don't have a deep understanding of the Human Emperor?"

"I know that as the Human Emperor, you have made great contributions to mankind. Once your merits are fulfilled, you must abdicate."

"But, Dad, have you ever thought about this? To what extent do you have to achieve perfection? Even sitting in this position now, I dare not say that I can achieve perfection in the throne of the Human Emperor. Dad, are you a little too confident?"

"Oh, so, do you know anything else? Or is there still much I don't understand about the Human Emperor?"

"Of course, Dad. When did the title of Human Emperor end?"

"After the Shang Dynasty, at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, King Wu proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven, and from then on the title of Human Emperor was discontinued."

"That's right. After King Zhou of Shang, there hasn't been another human emperor. In ancient times, our ancestors ate raw meat and drank blood, struggling to survive. However, it was the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors who led humanity to learn skills like making fire, building houses, farming, and so on. These skills enabled tribes to grow stronger, improved living conditions, and laid the foundation for the formation of Chinese civilization."

Although Suiren, Fuxi, and Huangdi were tribal leaders, they were not called "kings," much less "emperors." The term "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors" was added by later generations. At that time, they were simply called "huang," meaning a figure as brilliant as the sun. Therefore, tribal leaders were honored as the emperors of humanity. The "shi" at the end was a respectful title for noble individuals.

In the history of human development, the Three Sovereigns are the earliest leaders who made tremendous contributions to human development. The father of the Earth Emperor was the Heavenly Emperor, who was also the grandfather of the Human Emperor. Following Emperor Huangdi, the Five Emperors were also honored as the Human Emperor, representing the common leaders of humanity.

However, before King Zhou of Shang, all human leaders shared one common characteristic: they disregarded the existence of the Heavenly Emperor, viewing humans and gods as equals, with no distinction between high and low. After King Zhou, however, all monarchs called themselves "Sons of the Heavenly Emperor," annually praying to him for favorable weather and abundant harvests. Thus, starting with the Zhou Dynasty, the title of Human Emperor ceased to exist.

Although both kings before and after the Zhou Dynasty were called kings, one was the king of the human race, while the other called himself "Son of Heaven," meaning "Son of Heaven." The transition from king of the human race to Son of Heaven was actually a step down in status, raising the status of the Emperor of Heaven by a significant margin.
