"Do you know what you're doing?" Bai Zao looked at the Qin Emperor as though looking at a stranger.
The Qin Emperor said, "If I don't kill him, who will submit to me?"
Bai Zao said, "Killing him will only make the people of the world even less willing to submit."
The Qin Emperor said, "Then I'll keep killing, until no one dares oppose me."
Bai Zao fell silent for a while, then said, "Even at the very end, Xi Yiyun believed you wouldn't bury those scholars alive. You understand what that means."

Bai Zao fell silent again for a while, then said, "Too much has happened today. I'll speak to you again tomorrow,
