Starting with his deathbed remonstrance to Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperors were brought to their knees.

Just a few hundred words, not a single pleasant one, not a hint of fear.

They launched into a tirade against Li Shimin, accusing him of being muddle-headed, blindly filial, and greedy.

They criticized the practice of elaborate funerals to the extreme, leaving no stone unturned!

"Someone come here!!!"

Li Shimin angrily threw the memorial away.

"Bring that bastard Zhang Ze here!!!"

That night, Li Qing was having dinner at home when he was seized by guards and taken to the palace overnight.

"I ask you, did you write this memorial?"

Li Shimin picked up a memorial to the throne, his face dark, and threw it in front of Li Qing.

"Yeah, so what?"

Li Qing glanced at it and nodded.

"You say the entire court is deceiving me? Are they all traitors? Are you the only virtuous and capable minister?"

Li Shimin roared angrily.

"Isn't that right?"

Li Qing scoffed and asked in return.

"Your Majesty doesn't really think that spending so much money to build a mausoleum is a good thing, does he? No way, no way, don't you really know that this is a waste of money?"

Besides, who's the point of building it up so nicely? The Emperor Emeritus can't see it, so is it for the common people? They don't care whether you're filial or not!

If you cause everyone to go hungry because of your own pride, what do you think they will think?

If I were an ordinary citizen, I would have cursed you to death long ago!

"you……"

Li Shimin was utterly enraged, and he raised his head and shouted:

"Guards! Tear this traitor apart with five horses!"

The guards rushed into the hall and dragged Li Qing away.

"Hahaha! Li Shimin, is this all the tricks you have? If you've got the guts, exterminate my entire family!"

Li Qing was still shouting loudly, but Li Shimin ignored him and angrily swept everything off the table.

"This traitor..."

Seeing Li Qing's memorial lying on the ground, Li Shimin became even more furious and simply stormed off.

【Ding! 】

[The deathbed remonstrance has been completed, 8000 RMB has been earned, and the player is about to return to the modern era...]

"Torn apart by five horses! This time, a new way to die has been discovered."

Just moments before he was torn apart by five horses, Li Qing was teleported back by the system.

"I never expected that Li Er would impose such a punishment this time. It seems that such remonstrance, even unto death, is indeed very effective!"

Li Qing stroked his chin, reviewing what had just happened.

"We haven't reached the point of exterminating three generations yet; we still need to work harder!"

Li Qing clenched his fist, trying to encourage himself.

He then continued searching online for material on the theme of dying for justice, and also posted questions online.

[If you were transported to ancient times and wanted to be executed by the emperor after submitting a remonstrance, but in a rather dramatic way, what would you do?]

Shortly after Li Qing posted the message, someone left a comment below.

"Dude, that's easy! Just poop in the courtroom! Guaranteed to kill you!"

Li Qing: ?

"No, you also..."

Li Qing was stunned. Although Bao Si was dead, he was afraid that he would be hacked to death as soon as he squatted down!

The way they die has to be even more awesome!

And so, Li Qing traveled and browsed posts at the same time, and five days passed quickly.

A flash of white light appeared from the system, and Li Qing was transported back to ancient times once again.

Suddenly plunged into boundless darkness, and the moment his consciousness returned, Li Qing froze on the spot.

The familiar imperial censor's bedroom from the Zhenguan era that he had envisioned did not appear.

What comes into view are the simple and rustic houses with rammed earth walls and wooden beams, their form rough and powerful, full of the unique ancient charm of the pre-Qin and Qin-Han periods.

In front of him was a low wooden table, simple in style, just like the one recorded in pre-Qin classics.

Bundles of dark green bamboo slips were piled up in the corner, the smell of ink mixed with the smell of bamboo wafting over, giving off a strong sense of antiquity.

"Good heavens! What dynasty have they thrown me into?"

Li Qingxin was completely taken aback.

A deluge of memories flooded into Li Qing's mind like a burst dam.

He discovered that he had actually traveled back in time to the Qin Dynasty!

"Fine, so you're going straight to the Qin Dynasty, skipping dynasties, and challenging this emperor who's been the greatest in history?"

After processing all the memories, Li Qing rubbed his throbbing forehead and slowly rose from the cold wooden couch.

But the most crucial thing in his memory gave him a jolt.

Just yesterday, Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, officially issued an edict to burn books!

The imperial edict clearly stipulated:

All official histories not compiled by the Qin state were burned; of the classics of the various schools of thought, only books on medicine, divination, and agriculture were preserved, while the rest were confiscated and burned; anyone who dared to privately possess forbidden books was to be sentenced to death!

This is the infamous burning of books that has been passed down through the ages, followed by the tragic massacre of Confucian scholars.

Prince Fusu was demoted by Ying Zheng to the position of military supervisor in Shangjun because of his outspoken advice.

Then, in the Sand Dune Palace Coup, Zhao Gao colluded with Li Si to tamper with the imperial edict, ordering the deaths of Fusu and Meng Tian, ​​and installing the incompetent Huhai on the throne.

The Qin Empire, which swept across the land and unified the world, perished after only two generations. Hu Hai became the most famous ruler in history to lose his country, having squandered the century-old legacy of his ancestors.

The burning of books and burying of scholars alive—I know how I must die to remonstrate this time.

Li Qing quickly put on the black official robes of the Qin Imperial Censor, straightened his clothes, and went straight out the door.

His official title was Imperial Censor, and his name was his real name.

Just as Li Qing pushed the door open to go out, another person also pushed the door open and went out.

Good morning, Brother Feng!

Li Qing looked at his colleague who came out from next door and raised his hand to greet him.

"Good morning, Brother Li!"

Feng Yi smiled and returned the greeting, then hurried forward.

"Brother Feng, where are you rushing off to?"

Li Qing caught up and asked in confusion.

"To be honest, I've heard that His Majesty intends to burn Confucian books! This is a grave mistake, and I must immediately go and remonstrate with him!"

Feng Yi shook his head and sighed. He opposed Qin Shi Huang's burning of books and burying of scholars alive.

"Brother Feng, wait a moment, I have something to say."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing quickly grabbed Feng Yi.

"Oh? What's the matter, Brother Li?"

"To be honest, I also want to submit a petition about this matter!"

Li Qing said with a smile.

"Ah, I thought I was the only one who dared to offer advice!"

Feng Yi was greatly surprised after hearing this.

"To be honest, Brother Li, this remonstrance will be quite difficult. If we offend His Majesty, we might face the extermination of our entire family!"

Exterminate their entire clan? Is it authentic?

Li Qing almost burst out laughing.

Okay, okay.

I'm definitely going!

"Brother Feng, please don't say any more. I'd better go and remonstrate with His Majesty first, and see what his attitude is."

Li Qing patted his chest, giving me a look that suggested he was entrusting me with a dangerous task.

Feng Yi was surprised.

He never expected that, besides himself, there would be anyone else who would risk their life to offer advice!

"Brother Li, you..."

Before Feng Yi could say anything more, he saw Li Qing already running impatiently toward Xianyang Palace.

Li Qing walked all the way to the majestic Xianyang Palace, where he informed the palace guards that he had important military and national matters to attend to and urgently needed to see His Majesty.

A moment later, a eunuch slowly walked out, bowed, and led Li Qing into the deep palace hall.

From the memories provided by the system, Li Qing recognized the person at a glance.

This was Zhao Gao, who would later wreak havoc on the court and destroy the Qin Dynasty.

At this moment, Zhao Gao lowered his eyes, treated people with respect and humility, and appeared cautious and timid.

No one could have predicted that this seemingly harmless eunuch would one day unleash a massive upheaval that would destroy a unified dynasty.
