After the subjugation of the country, I became pregnant with the cub of Emperor Qiu

Two besieged cities, like two isolated islands, are near each other but cannot be touched.

Surrounded by the armies of the four countries, the two cities had different endings.

Yi Ci had heard about this battle. In that war, Gu Zheng personally led the army and defeated the four countries with the strength of Qin State.Since then, the four countries have declined, and none of the six countries has the power to resist Qin.

Although he knew the outcome of this war, he didn't know the inside story.Hearing Gu Zheng's words, Yi Ci seemed to grasp something vaguely, but he didn't dare to think about it any further.

Gu Zheng's sharp eyes seemed to have penetrated Yi Ci's body and saw a farther place.Even Gu Zheng, with a cold and calm personality, still had shocks in his pupils when he mentioned that war.

When the closed city gate was finally opened, the tired faces of the people in a city showed joy. They jumped for joy, embraced each other and shed tears, thankful that they had finally survived the siege battle.And when Gu Zheng came to the second city, the heavy city gate slowly opened. For some reason, an ominous premonition emerged in Gu Zheng's heart.

The rotten smell poured out from the closed city gate, which made Gu Zheng's face change, and the joy of victory of the soldiers who followed behind him froze on their faces.

They drove their horses slowly into this lifeless city, as if entering a purgatory on earth.

Corpse!blood!

A pile of corpses that had been gouged out of their flesh and blood was piled up in the pit. Flies were flying around, maggots were wriggling, and a strong rotten smell came from it.Just looking at it makes people's stomach churn, and they can't help but want to vomit.

Those who survived in the city looked numbly at the army entering the city, and there was no joy of surviving after the catastrophe, but only endless emptiness.

The people in the city have completely cut off contact with the outside world, and can only rely on the few grains left in the city to survive the day.But soon, there was not enough food.The remaining food was given priority to the soldiers defending the city, while the people in the city could only endure hunger and thirst.

After ten days of starvation, many people have starved to death.Those corpses were left unattended and just dumped on the street.

After another five days, someone finally couldn't bear the bone-piercing hunger and began to take the lead in attacking those corpses.

And so the appalling thing happened.

This is the only way to survive.

Deep horror appeared in Yi Ci's eyes, and his stomach churned violently, wanting to vomit.He covered his mouth with one hand, tears welling from his eyes.

Gu Zheng asked him, "Do you know why the people in one city are safe and sound, but this tragedy happened in another city?"

Yi Ci's mind was very confused and he couldn't say a word.

Gu Zhengdao: "Because there is a canal flowing through a city, food and other supplies can be transported into the city through the canal. Therefore, although the people in this city do not have much food, they will not be in short supply to that extent. But in another city, It was completely surrounded and airtight, and food could not be transported in, so the human tragedy was brewed."

The small ditch in front of me seems to overlap with the wide canal.A seemingly ordinary stream of water determines the life and death of countless people.

It was probably because reading Yi Ci was too uncomfortable at this time, so Gu Zheng didn't speak anymore.

Yi Ci held the reins tightly with his fingers, eyes moist with tears, and looked ahead blankly, as if seeing the tragic scene in the city through the scene in front of him.

A pair of warm and rough hands grasped Yi Ci's hand holding the rein, and forcefully separated his hand from the rein.Gu Zheng's words had an irresistible force, which broke Yi Ci's thoughts, "Okay, don't think about it."

Yi Ci woke up from that state, and looked at Gu Zheng helplessly, with a teardrop still hanging in his eyes, and the wet eyelashes were like wet butterfly wings.

His eyes are clean and spotless, like the most beautiful gems in the world.

It seems that such a naive person should live in a gorgeous and quiet palace, write books and paint every day, without thinking about the sufferings of the people.

Looking at Yi Ci's dazed and tearful eyes, Gu Zheng found that his cold and hard heart had softened strangely, and he couldn't bear to tell Yi Ci these things again.

Yi Ci's lips turned pale, and he asked, "Then, are those people buried?"

Gu Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Bury it in a pit and burn it together."

Gu Zheng explained: "The relatives of the deceased did not want to see those broken bones. For those who survived, forgetting is more important than remembering."

Yi Ci pursed her lips.

Gu Zheng's hand suddenly touched Yi Ci's tear-stained face, Yi Ci was startled, his whole body stiffened and did not move.Gu Zheng's rough palm wiped away the tears around Yi Ci's eyes little by little. This incredible move made Yi Ci's eyes widen.

Gu Zheng suddenly said: "Yi Ci, in fact, you are not suitable to be an emperor."

Yi Ci's heart trembled when he heard the words, and his wet eyelashes blinked twice.

In this case, his father and king also said to him.

Gu Zheng said bluntly with calm almost cold words: "You are too kind, too soft-hearted, sentimental, always understand the suffering of others, not decisive enough, not cruel enough, such you are not suitable to be an emperor."

Yi Ci is powerless to refute.

Gu Zheng's words pointed straight at his heart like a cold sharp sword.

Relying on benevolence alone cannot become a qualified emperor.The things in this world are too complicated, one link is closely linked to the other, and one hair can affect the whole body.A decision of an ordinary person can affect himself and his surroundings, but a decision of an emperor affects the whole world.

To rectify the government and reform the old system, every move will affect some interests.When you sympathize with the powerful, your kindness will become a knife hanging over the head of the weak.But how can you be ruthless when you swing a knife at another group of people?In the end, kindness will become your fetter instead, pulling you into countless troubles and making you restrain yourself everywhere.

How to break the game?

It can only be broken with iron and blood, and accommodated with a broad mind.

For example, everything that Gu Zheng has done, such as unifying the writing, weights and measures, currency, and train tracks, and promoting the Qin system to the whole country, even though the whole world scolded him for being cruel and arbitrary, he remained unmoved, just like suppressing the people in the world. A mountain that takes one's breath away.

Gu Zheng got off his horse and stood quietly in front of the ditch, with a heavy fur coat draped over his shoulders, his back was tall and straight.

Gu Zhengdao: "Look at this ditch, it can affect the life and death of hundreds or thousands of households, and a canal can affect the life and death of people in a city. In a vast country with endless territory, how many places like this are there that lack water? land?"

Gu Zheng talked about this ditch, but his eyes were on the whole world.He pointed to this ditch, and the ambition in his words penetrated the shackles of language and reached people's hearts, as if he had already drawn a grand blueprint for the future, "If I build a mighty canal that runs through things, it will make everyone feel better." If a place that is thirsty can get enough water, and every city has a canal, what will it be like?"

Yi Ci stared at Gu Zheng's back in a daze.

His thoughts drifted away with Gu Zheng's words.Presumably at that time, it must have been a beautiful scene where everyone had a good harvest, business was prosperous, and travel was convenient.

Yi Ci suddenly recalled his father, and finally understood what his father wanted him to grow into.

Maybe it was Gu Zheng.

Yi Ci replied: "That must be a very good scene."

Gu Zheng nodded: "That's right, I've been discussing the canal with Prime Minister these days, and I've decided to build such a canal."

Yi Ci came back to his senses and said in a low voice, "Is this Xiangguo's proposal?"

Yi Ci heard Gu Zheng's satisfactory affirmation. "He is a good Prime Minister!"

Liang meets Liangjun.

The meeting between Wei Yushu and Gu Zheng is really like the meeting of Maxima meeting Bole, and it will definitely compose an eternal story and create a prosperous world for thousands of years.

Yi Ci reluctantly twitched the corner of his mouth.

All the hatred for the subjugation of the country seemed to be deeply suppressed in his heart, and he couldn't breathe all the time.He shouldn't be so selfish, this is obviously a good thing that benefits the country and the people, why does Yi Ci feel his nose sour, and tears seem to flow in his eyes.

He is too selfish.

How could he selfishly think that Wei Yushu was only loyal to him and lived for him alone.Yushu should also have his own ideals and ambitions, and he should be happy for Wei Yushu if he can realize his ambitions with the help of Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng noticed Yi Ci's silence for a long time, he turned around, held Yi Ci's cold hand with his dry and strong hand, and patrolled Yi Ci's face with sharp eagle-like eyes, "What's wrong?"

Yi Ci's eyelashes trembled twice, restraining all emotions.His introverted and cold temperament is somewhat deceptive. When he lowers his eyelashes to cover his eyes, few people can see through his cool and beautiful appearance.Yi Ci looked down at Gu Zheng holding his hand, and shook his head slightly: "It's just that I feel a little sad when I think of the two things you said."

Gu Zheng's keen intuition noticed the insincere words in Yi Ci's words, but he never thought of the connection between Yi Ci and his prime minister. He only thought that Yi Ci had other things on his mind, so he stopped asking.

After that, the two returned to the palace on horseback.

Gu Zheng went to court, and Yi Ci returned to his palace.

Yi Ci returned to his room in a daze, closed the door tightly, and shut himself up.

Qiu Liang pushed open the door and came in, and found Yi Ci's mood was depressed, and he panicked for a moment, he asked: "What's the matter? Why did it become like this after returning home? It's Gu Zheng who treats you What have you done?"

Yi Ci frowned a few questions in a row, and he didn't want to speak, so he said weakly, "Can you let me be quiet?"

As a last resort, Qiu Liang left the room.

He was very worried, thinking that something bad had happened to Yi Ci.But Yi Ci kept silent about what happened today, and Qiu Liang was helpless.

In this way, on the second day, news about Gu Zhengyao's construction of the Grand Canal came, and Qiu Liang immediately understood the reason why Yi Ci was in a bad mood yesterday.

It is better to untie the bell than to tie it.

Qiu Liang knew that there must be a misunderstanding.Instead of persuading Yi Ci earnestly, it is better to let Wei Yushu write a letter to explain clearly.

The author has something to say: The update owed yesterday...

It will be updated at twelve o'clock tonight.
