"I just realized, Di Xin wasn't a bad person after all!"
At night, Ning Mengyao leaned against the headboard, clutching a book, and looked at Lin Fan with interest.
"From the imperial edict, we can see the clues. It says Di Xin didn't value sacrifices and preferred new ministers over the old ones. From this, I spotted something amiss. After all, ancient sacrifices involved killing people, bloody and cruel. If Di Xin forwent sacrifices, wouldn't that mean he refrained from killing the innocent? Yet, in their mouths, this turned into a crime. We were deceived before."
"Moreover, it says Di Xin replaced old officials with new ones, which clearly upset the vested interests of the nobles and ministers, resulting in their backlash. All in all, it was just an excuse for these people to rebel. Unfortunately, history is written by the victors. As for the losers, they are inevitably laden with all sorts of fabricated crimes."
