Thousand-year-old family: its rise began with Shang Yang’s reforms

Chapter 110 The eighth year of King Huiwen’s update [Fourth update in 4k, please subscribe]

The strength of a country never happens overnight, but is a continuous and ongoing process.

But Qin's strength seems to be contrary to this law.

After Shang Yang's reform, the country became stronger instantly and even lasted for a long time.

People outside the Qin State may not be able to see anything, but the people of the Qin State, especially the rulers, can clearly feel the reasons and variables contained in it.

It's Chen Ye.

Ying Si's emotion at this time was entirely because he saw how powerful Qin was.

But Chen Ye didn't think so.

The strength of Qin is not the result of one person, but the credit of everyone. All the people of Qin have contributed to this.

Therefore, Chen Ye does not take credit for this.

Ying Si looked at Chen Ye, wondering what he was thinking about. After a moment, he said, "Teacher, who do you think is more suitable for the next generation of King Qin of Qin?"

"Slut? Still"

Chen Ye shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty, this is your business, not my business."

"How can I interfere with the crown prince's affairs?"

"This is not in line with etiquette."

Ying Si's expression was very sincere, and he leaned forward slightly: "Teacher, don't you still trust me?"

His self-proclaimed name changed, from being a humble person to me, becoming more sincere.

But Chen Ye still just said: "Your Majesty, this is not a matter that I should ask about, nor should I make suggestions."

His expression was very serious and calm: "Your Majesty, it is best not to let anyone know about this kind of thing. After all, if the news leaks, it will not be a good thing for any young master."

Ying Si then lowered his head and sighed helplessly: "I am getting older, and my health is getting worse every year."

There was a bit of sadness in his tone: "Teacher, your health has not looked good in the past few years, but until now, you are still healthy."

Ying Si laughed at himself: "In the past, I still thought that if one day the teacher walked in front of me, I would definitely put on mourning clothes for the teacher, but now it seems that my body may not be able to survive that day. .”

Chen Ye frowned slightly: "Why did the king say these things today?"

"Did the imperial doctor say something there?"

Ying Si nodded slightly. He looked at Chen Ye and didn't hide anything: "Since the teacher asked, I won't hide it from the teacher."

"The imperial doctor said that my body is empty inside, and I'm afraid I only have three to five years left."

"In the past three to five years, I still need to take medicine to support it."

Three to five years?
  Chen Ye's face was slightly shocked, and he subconsciously held Ying Si's arm: "Three to five years?"

"How could the imperial physician say so?"

"But other doctors were invited?"

Ying Si nodded slightly: "I have secretly searched for many doctors in the past two years, but all of them are the same as the imperial doctor's order."

His eyes were sincere: "Teacher, if I leave one day, Qin will really depend on you!"

Chen Ye remained silent.

He also didn't expect that his body would be able to persist until now, even having to wait for so long that Ying Si died.
  This is also an incredible thing for Chen Ye.

He put down the cup in his hand and sighed softly: "Your Majesty, are your plans for the past two years all because you knew about your physical problems?"

Ying Si didn't hide anything. He looked at Chen Ye beside him and said, "Yes, teacher."

He calmly told this teacher all his plans. He felt that so far, the only person he could trust in Qin was this teacher.

"I have appointed Mi's eighth son as the queen, and Ji'er is the eldest son and should inherit the throne."

"But Dang'er and his mother will never let Ji'er go."

Ying Si stood up and walked back and forth in the hall: "So, my original plan was to send Ji'er to Zhao as a hostage, and have someone secretly protect him so that he would not be harmed."

"Ji'er is too young, even with the Queen Mother in charge. He is still too young."

"What's more, it's not a good thing for the Queen Mother to be in power for too long."

Ying Si turned around fiercely, with a little light shining in his eyes: "In the beginning, my plan was to get some people in the country to support Dang'er becoming the king, and then find an opportunity to encourage Dang'er to do something, and then it was an "accident". "

"Dang'er died in an accident. At that time, the power of Chu State must have been cultivated, and they had enough power to support Ji'er's return to the country."

"At that time, Ji'er will become the new King of Qin, and Bazi will be in charge for a period of time. With Zhan'er and Shen'er around, Bazi will not dare to do anything rashly even if he is the regent."

Ying Si sat in front of Chen Ye, and this short movement already made him a little out of breath: "This is my original plan, because I don't know whether the teacher can live until my death, so I planned to assist him." The ministers of the country are the second generation of the Chen family."

There was a proud smile on his lips: "But I never thought that although your body seems to be weak, teacher, you have persisted until now, and you can even survive me to death."

Speaking of this, Ying Si's tone was a bit joking: "So, I overturned my original plan."

“But it’s not completely overturned.”

He squinted his eyes: "Bazi's hand stretched too long, and sometimes it touched my bottom line, so I need to shock her and let her know what a king is!"

"The king is the one who can decide their fate with just one word!"

"I will still send Ji'er to Zhao as a hostage, but I will let Zhao'er go with me."

Speaking of this, Ying Si sounded a little guilty. After all, he abducted the third-generation eldest son of the Chen family and took him to the State of Zhao.
  He didn't know if his teacher could tolerate such a thing happening.
  Therefore, Ying Si's tone was a bit low when he spoke. If you don't listen carefully, you can hardly hear what he is saying.

But after saying this, his voice became excited again.

"Teacher, when I am about to die, I will send someone to bring Ji'er and Zhao'er back in advance!"

"At that time, although the eighth son will become the Queen Mother, the regents will be you two! Although she can attend the court, she will not have the right to make any decisions!"

Ying Si stared at Chen Ye closely: "I believe in the teacher."

Chen Ye glanced at Ying Si, who was obviously in an abnormal mood, chuckled, and said something unexpected: "So you are so loud behind you, are you afraid that I will not agree with you to send Zhao'er to Zhao country?"

Ying Si was drinking water when he suddenly choked.

He said with some guilt: "Teacher, what do you think?"

Chen Ye nodded slightly: "It's a good idea to send Ji'er to Zhao as a hostage. At this stage, he will learn more than he did in Qin."

"The most important thing for people is practice."

After putting down the cup in his hand, he continued: "But I don't worry about Chen Zhao being alone in Zhao country. I will ask Shou'er to go with him. Your Majesty has no objection to this, right?"

Ying Ji immediately smiled and said, "No objection, no objection."

"Actually, Zhao'er doesn't have to be a hostage with Ji'er. If Shou'er is following, then let Zhao'er set off alone."

"It's also not easy to attract attention."

Chen Ye nodded slightly, suddenly looked at the happy Ying Si and said, "By the way, Your Majesty, now that the world is in chaos, have you thought about the future path of Qin?" Ying Si was stunned for a moment and did not react. He just said, "Huh?"

Chen Ye blinked: "You said you wanted to write a [-]-word memorial to the teacher?"

He patted Ying Si on the shoulder: "Your Majesty, you are able to have such an understanding. I am really moved to tears. I don't know what to say."

Ying Si: "Huh?"

"Teacher here."

Chen Ye tilted his head: "You said you wanted to write five thousand words?"

Ying Si shut up for a moment and sat there feeling helpless. How come the teacher's way of punishing people hasn't changed since childhood?

Always let yourself write some memorials or something.

Chen Ye looked at Ying Si's honest look and chuckled, then stood up and bowed before leaving.

After Chen Ye left, Ying Si curled her lips and ordered someone to bring silk and pen and ink, while muttering softly: "I didn't expect the teacher to agree so easily this time. It's great."

"Hey, it's me, the uncle, who feels sorry for Shen'er."

"The child is still so young, so he is forced to leave his hometown."

An Guojun Mansion
  After Chen Shen saw Chen Ye back, he immediately walked to Chen Ye's side with a rare flattery on his face.

It was only when Chen Ye had something to ask for that this kid would act like he was not a "gentleman". If word got out, it would make those who praise Chen Shen all day laugh out loud.

"Father, father."

"What did you say about Zhao'er?"

Chen Ye glanced at the hopeless Chen Shen, then sighed and said, "Okay, don't worry."

"I have already told the king that after the next year, I will take advantage of the opportunity of Qin and Zhao's exchange of protons to let Shou'er take Zhao'er on a study tour. However, I cannot stay outside for too long. It is best to live in seclusion in the Zhao Kingdom. Experience.”

Chen Shen was relieved.

It's not that he has been worried, but that this boy Chen Zhao suddenly wanted to study abroad for some reason. He also cited examples from his past, saying that his father could travel around the world, why couldn't he?
  Even if you can't go too far, it's okay to go to Han, Zhao and Wei, right?
  But the current situation in the world is very tense. The third generation eldest son of the Chen family is traveling to other countries, which will inevitably give King Qin some other ideas.
  Therefore, this matter has been put on hold.

"Father, you are still awesome."

"How did you say that the king not only had no doubts, but also agreed?"

Chen Ye chuckled: "Isn't this simple?"

"When did that guy Ying Si become able to outwit me, a teacher?"

Zhangtai Palace

The chamberlain knocked on the door gently, then walked in with a respectful look on his face: "Your Majesty, Mr. Chen Zhao wishes to see you."

Ying Si raised his eyebrows slightly, then said with a smile: "Let him come in."

After Chen Zhao came in alive and kicking, he picked Chen Zhao up and said, "Zhao'er, I did what I promised you."

"When you go back, the teacher will tell you that you can travel around the world and go to Zhao State!"

He was quite proud, like an ordinary old man showing off to his nephew and grandson: "Is uncle great?"

Chen Zhao chuckled: "Uncle, grandpa is so kind!"

Ying Si laughed loudly and said with some pride: "I knew that the teacher would definitely agree in the end. You are still worried when I told you to rest assured before."

He pinched Chen Zhao's nose and said, "Boy, do you believe your uncle's words now?"

Ying Si said to Chen Zhao with some melancholy: "Then you must not forget the promise you made to my uncle."

Chen Zhao immediately stretched out his hand and hooked his little finger on Ying Si's little finger using the gesture he often made with his elder father.

"Hang yourself with a hook and don't change for a hundred years!"

Ying Si also imitated Chen Zhao and said word by word: "Hang yourself with a hook, and it won't change for a hundred years!"

An Guojun Mansion
  After Chen Zhao came back, he came to the eldest father's study. This was the forbidden area of ​​the eldest father. Except for his deceased eldest mother, father, and fifth uncle, no one else could enter casually.

Of course, now that Chen Zhao is here, Chen Zhao can also come in.

This is a great privilege.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw my eldest father leaning on the table, holding a roll of bamboo slips and reading through them, with a lazy look on his face.

Chen Zhao once thought that the reason his eldest father didn't let others in was because he didn't want others to see him like this.

"Father."

He bowed respectfully, and then said softly: "Your Majesty has no doubts."

Chen Ye nodded: "The successor in the king's heart is Ying Ji. It is a good thing that you go to Zhao State with Ying Ji. With this relationship of sharing weal and woe, Ying Ji will also be able to I will trust you more."

He sat up, looked at Chen Zhao, and sighed softly: "Zhao'er, you have to remember."

"Your heart is as deep as the ocean, it can change at any time."

"Don't distrust the monarch, but you can never trust the monarch completely."

"With your intelligence, you should know what my words mean."

"The third generation of the Chen family depends on you. After your father and I pass away, you will be the head of the Chen family. You must shoulder the important responsibility of keeping the Chen family in history!"

Chen Zhao stood there with a firm look on his face: "Father, Zhao'er will definitely fulfill Dad's entrustment and let the Chen family continue forever!"

The situation in the world quickly became stable after the great changes made by King Zhou Shenliang in five years.

After Zhao State became stronger, it began to test the surrounding countries.

For example, Wei State, such as South Korea.

He did not dare to test Qin for the time being, because Qin's strength many years ago was stronger than her current strength.

After many attempts, Zhao Guo couldn't help but launch an attack on Han.

In the winter of the seventh year of King Huiwen's watch.

And another thing happened in the winter of this year.

King Shen of Zhou Dynasty died.

The emperor of Zhou changed again. This time, Ji Yan, the son of King Zhou Shenliang, inherited the position of emperor and took back the "Gong" awarded to the Eastern Zhou Kingdom. The Zhou royal family once again had a place to settle down.

In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth year of King Huiwen's reign.

The voices in Qin's country proposing the establishment of a prince are getting louder and louder.

PS: I am really useless. My fingers have a headache and I really can’t write.

I will definitely make up for it in the next few days.
