Sweeping Through Eight Caves, the Second Generation Qin Emperor?

Chu Jiang's judgments had not been arbitrary, but prescribed by law. The Great Qin Law had advanced to an utterly astonishing degree.

It protected the weak and placed a measure of restraint upon the powerful.

As the first great unified dynasty, it was already progress unprecedented in history.

After all.

Before Great Qin, the various states had fought endlessly, an age where they devoured one another.

The weak were food, were expendable resources, with no chance to resist.

After all, who could guarantee that they would forever stand among the strong? In the eyes of someone stronger, you too were weak.

The Great Qin Law protected everyone.

But the prerequisite was a super state apparatus capable of suppressing all under heaven, making everyone wary and unwilling to go too far.

Yet once this state apparatus showed signs of weakening and could no longer command absolute power, this system risked collapse. In the latter years of the Second Generation Qin Emperor, the imperial court's control over the regions weakened, allowing aristocratic clans to rise. They joined forces with demons and monsters from within and without, accelerating the Great Qin Dynasty's collapse and fragmentation.

The second case: slandering the emperor.

The third case: stealing scriptures and murder.

Chu Jiang passed judgment on three cases in succession, receiving Grade A evaluations for all of them.

The Legalist School trial: passed.

Whoosh, whoosh—

A heavenly book.

``` Three Chapters of Heavenly Constitution

Heavenly Constitution revealed the foundations of Great Qin, with law at its core. The three chapters symbolized the Way of Heaven, national law, and the hearts of the people—three as one.

Take law as the guiding principle and punishment as the blade. Cultivators could temper themselves with the power of dynasty law, their words becoming law, their decrees commanding heaven and earth.
