Chapter 997: The End of the Qin State (First Update)

In the end, Zhao Dan did not immediately summon Qin Wang Chu, and the meeting was postponed to two days later.

Although the whole person is much haggard compared to when he met Zhao Dan in Handan two years ago, Qin Wang Chu's spirit looks okay, at least much better than Zhao Dan imagined.

"King Qin." Zhao Dan smiled and nodded towards Qin Wang Chu.

"King Zhao." Qin Wang Chu arched his hand towards Zhao Dan.

It was a very formal meeting, both in terms of what they were wearing and where they were meeting.

Both sides took their seats.

Zhao Dan smiled and said, "I don't know how King Qin is doing these days?" ”

Qin Wang Chu twitched his cheeks slightly, revealing a rather reluctant smile: "It's okay." ”

Although he was a prisoner, Qin Wang Chu was not tortured too much, and the people of Zhao gave him enough respect on the way.

Kingship needs to be respected.

Both sides were silent.

After a long while, Zhao Dan looked at Qin Wang Chu in front of him, sighed softly, and said, "Does King Qin have anything else to say?" ”

Qin Wang Chu's body trembled slightly, and the whole person seemed a little hesitant, but finally asked, "What is King Zhao going to do...... To the widows? ”

No matter how much he wanted to keep himself calm, when he said this, Qin Wang Chu's face couldn't help but show a hint of pleading.

Zhao Dan was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Actually, Qin Wangru himself should have guessed it. ”

He raised his head, looked at Qin Wang Chu in front of him, and explained seriously: "The widow's request has always been very simple, and if he is willing to surrender, then the widow can make him a rich idler for a lifetime." But those who resist to the end will naturally not be treated with surrender. ”

The pleading look on King Qin's face became heavier and heavier, and he said with some eagerness: "The widow did not resist to the end, King Zhao. ”

Zhao Dan lost 2 smiles and said: "King Qin, your old Qin and the widow's army fought to the last moment, and they completely gave up when there was only one Tai Guardian in front of you, doesn't this explain everything?" ”

Zhao Dan paused for a moment and glanced at Qin Wang Chu meaningfully: "Actually, the widow has always been very strange, since you don't want to escape, then why don't you die with those old Qin people who fought to the end for you?" If you really died in the hall on that day, then in order to appease the people of Qin, the widow should have made Gongzi Chengcheng the king. ”

Qin Wang Chu's face changed again and again, and in the end he still didn't speak.

Zhao Dan looked at the Qin Wang Chu in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart.

Some people have the will to die, and in the end, they also sacrifice their lives to fight for their country until the last moment.

There are those who also have the will to die, but they retreat at the last moment before the shadow of death.

As everyone knows, as long as you take a step back, then it is impossible to stop the pace of retreat in this life.

If it were according to Zhao Dan's own well-known history, the short-lived Qin King Chu would have just succeeded to the throne this year, and then died three years later.

Then the child who was destined to become the first emperor of the ages will ascend to the throne of the Great Qin monarch, and with the assistance of LΓΌ Buwei, he will lead the Great Qin Empire to a height that no one has ever reached, and finally command the old Qin people to sweep Liuheping and push the Yue to expel the Xiongnu and achieve immortality.

But it's all doomed to an end.

Today, at this moment, is the end of the Great Qin Empire.

Zhao Dan looked at Qin Wang Chu, his tone was calm, and he made the final judgment to the last monarch of the Qin State in front of him.

"Zhao Chu, from today onwards, you and all your wives and children will be deprived of all titles and powers, and all of them will be deposed as concubines and exiled to the eldest son of Shangdang County, and will not be pardoned for life. Thou shalt do thy own thing. ”

After saying this, Zhao Dan waved his hand, and two palace guards walked in and took out Qin Wang Chu, who was already completely stunned.

Looking at the figure of Qin Wang Chu being dragged away, Zhao Dan let out a sigh of relief.

From today onwards, the name of Qin will be completely history.

Once upon a time, the behemoth of the Qin State was like an endless shadow hanging over Zhao Dan, making Zhao Dan feel oppressed every time he thought about it.

If you want to defeat your enemies, you must first understand them.

As a traverser, Zhao Dan thinks that he knows more about the Qin State.

From the objective point of view of history, there are indeed certain accidental factors in the victory of the Qin State, but it is more of an inevitable factor.

From the perspective of hegemony, Qin's inspiring system of military merit, Qin's top-down system of Legalist officials, and Qin's tight control system from the central government to the countryside have completely turned the entire country into an incomparably tight war machine firmly controlled by the monarch.

When all the people of a country serve the war, and all the people work hard for the victory of the war, the energy it bursts out is extremely terrifying.

All of this, of course, is due to the pair of Ming monarchs and virtuous ministers in the history of the Qin State - Qin Xiaogong and Shang Ying.

It was with the full support of Qin Xiaogong that Shang Ying completely transformed the Qin State, transforming the Qin State into such a country step by step, allowing the Qin State to rise from the desperate situation of almost being destroyed by the Wei State, which led to the later Qin Shi Huang's sweep of the Liuhe Eight Desolations.

The victory of the Qin State lies in the advanced system, and its system may not be suitable for eternal existence, but it must be the most suitable era for the countries to compete for hegemony.

History proves this.

And the reason why Zhao Dan was able to change history, most of the credit is actually due to the advantage of foresight brought by the traverser.

In terms of system, the Zhao State before Zhao Dan crossed over, its centralization of power was not complete, the implementation of the military merit system was not as comprehensive as that of Qin, the control of the bureaucratic system was not as strong as that of Qin, and the control of the grassroots was far inferior to that of Qin.

Such a state of Zhao was able to fight to the last moment against the Qin state under the rule of the first generation of male lord Qin Zhaoxiang in the Battle of Changping, which is really a very, very rare and commendable thing.

It was Zhao Dan's crossing that changed all that, so Zhao Dan had enough reason to be proud of himself.

With the end of the Qin State, the current Zhao Dan only needs to completely destroy the Chu State that is still in division, and then he can truly realize his dream of unifying the Liuhe and Eight Desolations.

"What a journey." Zhao Dan sighed with emotion, and then showed a pleasant smile: "But when I think of the widow about to become the first emperor of this time and space, this feeling...... It's really exciting. ”
