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

Chapter 96 The reason for doing this [First update, please collect and read]

The news that Emperor Zhou announced that he would crown the king of Qin as king instantly spread throughout the world, and everyone knew the news.

People praised the generosity of the Emperor of Zhou, and praised the benevolence and righteousness of the monarch of Qin.

Of course, many people were unwilling. They believed that Emperor Zhou did not voluntarily crown the king of Qin, but was forced by Su Qin and Zhang Yi, the two envoys sent by the Qin State, and agreed to this matter as a last resort.

As a result, many talented people in the world who still longed for Bangzhou moved towards Gong. They wanted to meet the emperor in person and ask the emperor whether this matter was what he sincerely wanted.

There is never a shortage of people in this world who are willing to fight and sacrifice for their ideals.

Especially in this day and age.

One by one, people headed towards Gong, and each one left Bangzhou's last piece of pure land with disappointment and shock.

The emperor actually volunteered, and he praised the king of Qin so much!
  How is this possible?
  But thinking about the monarch of Qin and what Qin had done in these years, they seemed to have the answer in their hearts, that is, the monarch of Qin had really been recognized by the emperor.

This summer of the forty-fourth year of King Xian’s reign, everyone in the world was looking forward to it.

Looking forward to the holding of the "Guandu Alliance Meeting".

They all know that at this alliance meeting, a new "king" will be born, and the appearance of this "king" is in compliance with all etiquette and laws.

So far, except for the Emperor of Zhou, the other three "kings" have all claimed to be kings. Even if they think it is nothing, the rest of the world will always remember this, and history will also record this.

The kings of Qi, Chu, and Wei, the three kingdoms, pretended to be kings!
  This is an act of transgression!

No matter how time and mountains and seas change, this record will continue to exist in this world with the existence of historians.

Even if someone forgets, the official position of Taishi who records history will pass on this history forever and from generation to generation, just like Cui Zhu did when he killed his king.

Qin, Xianyang City.

Inside Zhangtai Palace
  Ying Si listened to Su Qin and Zhang Yi's report with a gloomy look on his face, not because he was unhappy about becoming king, but because Emperor Zhou's behavior made him feel strange.

Wouldn't the emperor think this was an act of transgression?

Why did you agree?
  Not only did he agree, he also announced to the world that he would be crowned king?

What on earth does Emperor Zhou want to do?
  What worries Ying Si even more is another thing. The news of him becoming king has spread all over the world, but there is no news from the kings of other countries?
  This is not right.

He looked at Chen Ye, who was sitting beside him, very calmly, as if he had expected this, and couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, what is going on?"

"The attitude of the emperor and the attitudes of the kings of other countries are wrong."

Chen Ye was not anxious at all. After taking a sip of tea, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is what I said, why we must be fully prepared before we can be king."

He said with a little emotion in his voice: "Bangzhou's attitude is so correct, it did not exceed my and the teacher's expectations."

"This is the attitude an emperor should have."

Chen Ye chuckled lightly: "Of course the emperor will agree to Qin's becoming king. Firstly, in return for so many years, he can live a more comfortable life because of Qin. Secondly?"

He looked at Ying Si: "This has something to do with the attitudes of the other monarchs."

"Your Majesty, is the current situation in the world in chaos?"

Ying Si nodded slightly: "Chaos."

Chen Ye asked again: "In your opinion, which country is the most powerful country in the world now?"

Ying Si replied without hesitation: "Of course it's my country, Qin!"

He was quite proud: "Today's Qin State, even if the six countries unite, can only be at the same level as Qin State."

"If they are scattered, no one will be Qin's opponent!"

At this point, Ying Si was startled. He looked at Chen Ye who was smiling in front of him, and a possibility suddenly emerged in his mind: "You mean, these are all the calculations of Emperor Zhou and the other monarchs?" Chen Ye nodded slightly: "Whether it is the emperor or the other kings, they are all afraid. They are afraid that Qin will continue to develop."

"Today's Qin State can only be resisted by the unity of the six countries."

"But today, the intricate relationships among the many big countries in the Central Plains are like a mess. How can they unite?"

Chen Ye seemed to be asking questions, but in fact, all he said were definite words: "Your Majesty, if you are a king among the six countries, how do you think you can unite the six countries?"

Ying Si said with an ugly expression: "Find a common enemy."

Chen Ye nodded slightly: "Yes, find a common enemy."

"That is Qin."

"And there must be a reasonable excuse or reason."

"This title of king is a qualified excuse to unite the six countries."

"Why is it that your Qin State is a legitimate and proper king, while we are arrogant?"

"You are the order of etiquette, so we are all traitors?"

Chen Ye said with a smile: "So they will unite, and the Qin State will become the common enemy of several other countries that arrogantly call themselves kings. As long as the Qin State exists for a day, they will reach a consensus on fighting against the Qin State."

"Because only by getting rid of Qin can the shame on them be wiped away."

Chen Ye looked gloomy. He gently put down the cup in his hand and said with emotion in his voice: "So, this is why I asked you to prepare it before."

"From now on, looking around, Qin will probably have no allies anymore."

After hearing what Chen Ye said, Ying Si couldn't help but sneer. This was the first time he had shown such a slightly mocking look in front of Chen Ye.

"What the teacher said, did Qin have allies before?"

"Since Lord Shang's reform, Qin has been isolated and helpless."

Chen Ye walked up to Ying Si and smiled slightly: "But Your Majesty, I will teach you the last lesson."

"This is my final realization."

He looked at the chessboard on the table and the black and white chess pieces crisscrossed on it.

"There is no eternal friendship in this world, only eternal interests!"

"As long as we have sufficient interests, even under the current circumstances, there will be people who are willing to brave the risks and the anger of other countries to join forces with Qin."

"Just wait."

Autumn, the twelfth year of King Huiwen.

The autumn wind blew up, flags were fluttering in the air, and soldiers stood below.

The emperor slowly climbed up the steps and stood up, his expression solemn.

Ying Si and several other monarchs stood on the stage with respectful and humble expressions on their faces. Even if no one took the emperor seriously, they would not show it.

"Boom!"

"When~"

Chime bells and war drums sounded at the same time, and green smoke floated from the bronze cauldron in front of them.
