I was transformed into an orphan from Zhao. When I woke up from the death pit, I saw the future First Emperor at first sight.
"What can you do for me?"
"Does your Majesty know that paper can replace bamboo? Salt can relieve suffering? Imperial examination can replace a generation of ministers?"
Ten years later, I helped the Qin army sweep through the six kingdoms, took charge of grain crops, developed gunpowder, and promoted the imperial examination.
The court criticized me and my power was overwhelming, and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms wanted to crush me to ashes.
On the day King Qin proclaimed himself emperor, hundreds of officials advised him to kill all Confucian doctors.
I stopped and ordered: "Your Majesty, unification depends on the people's hearts!"
He stood up with his sword in hand: "You hold the secret recipe of gunpowder, and you have won over all the poor men in the world. How dare you contradict me today?"
"Your Majesty doubts me," I raised my head and unbuttoned my robe, "I have this heart, but please take it away with your own hands."
There was heavy snow outside the palace, and all the ministers in the palace held their breath, but his cold sword edge opened the bamboo paper book on my chest——
"You want to extend your life for the people of the world, how can you deserve to die today?"
