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

Chapter 104 Wang [First update, please read and collect]

Whether human nature is inherently evil or inherently good is a question that has been debated since ancient times.

Even the great sages of the past dynasties couldn't argue clearly, each had their own reasons, not to mention that Chen Zhao was so fashionable and was only a child?
  The teacher in the classroom was still teaching his class incessantly, but at this time, Chen Zhao was listening very seriously.

First, Xianyang Academy gathered a large number of talents, and the quality of the teachers here was not comparable to the one Chen Shen hired for him.

Secondly, Chen Zhao didn't want to read his uncle's book here.

After all, at this time, he had already figured out that the matter of "stealing books" was a "trap" through and through.

The eldest father must have discussed it with his father and then asked his mother to give it to him.

After all, although my father only read Big Father's books when he was eight or nine years old, he is not too young now and is old enough to read.

not to mention.
  After reading this book in the past few days, he found that although many of the principles in the book were profound, they were very easy to understand. Some places were skipped, as if there was another book in the middle.

This must have been carefully selected by my father after discussing with my eldest father and mother.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhao held his forehead and sighed helplessly.

With such a smart eldest father and father, he really has to be good.

In the fourth year of King Huiwen's reign (316 BC), spring arrived in a climate where everything revived.

All countries in the world are gradually restoring production. The State of Wei gradually declined in the hands of King Wei, but the opposite was the State of Zhao.

The king of the Zhao State announced the "Hufu Cavalry and Shooting" and various other reforms. Under such reforms, the power of the Zhao State gradually became stronger, and the first thing the Zhao State had to do when it became stronger was to Go to war with Wei State.

Yes, start a war with Wei, not Qin.

The war between Wei and Zhao began in the fourth year of King Huiwen's reign, and it is not yet known when it will end.

The reason for the war announced by King Zhao was that King Wei had used his unjust reputation to conquer Zhao many times and obtained a lot of land from Zhao, so Zhao wanted to take it back.

Yes.

This is the first time that the reason for war between powerful countries is so simple and crude.

"Get the land back"

Although Zhao Guo added some words such as "unjust" before this sentence, he did not hide his true purpose at all.

This is the first time since the war between the Spring and Autumn Kingdoms that a powerful country no longer conceals its purpose.

People who heard the news expressed emotion and lamentation. Of course, they knew what they were feeling, but they just felt a little sad for no reason.

Historians and some great talents from various countries sighed.

They know what this change and emotion is.

It is the end of an era and a precursor to the beginning of another era.

Everyone knows that when powerful countries no longer use the name of "benevolence and righteousness", "respect for the emperor", etc., the truly cruel reality will come. This is unacceptable to everyone, but everyone knows , history will inevitably have such a cruel reality.

If we are always in the name of "benevolence and righteousness" and have all kinds of scruples, it will be impossible for all the countries in the world to be unified again.

In the past, Bangzhou could suppress all the countries in the world, making the Central Plains of China look like a whole.

Can such a country exist in today's world?
  At present, Qin can, but Qin seems unwilling to do so.

Lu State, in the home of a historian.

The man sat quietly in the room and sighed quietly. The carving knife and bamboo slips were placed in front of him, as if he was preparing to record something.

He looked at the bamboo slips in front of him, and after being in a daze for a moment, he boldly picked up the carving knife in his hand.

Three words were carved on the bamboo slips - "Book of the Warring States Period".

What is the Warring States Period? Many countries no longer fight in the name of benevolence and justice, but fight for themselves!
  There are more and more wars between countries! The duration starts to get longer! The purpose becomes simple!
  Not only a certain historian from the State of Lu, but also historians from almost all countries in the world have started new records. They all unanimously recorded this period of history in a new form.

This is the beginning of it all, not the middle of a period of time.

The era of the Warring States Period seemed to be about to begin.

Of course, there are also some historians who have not started recording from the beginning. They believe that this era cannot completely break away from the shadow of the previous era. Only when an epoch-making figure appears, everyone thinks that this time is divided from the previous era. Only then can it be called a "new era."

The leading representatives were the historians of Qin.

They hold the sword and pen in their hands firmly and will never obey others.

Wei Guo
  King Wei stood on the high platform, looking at the map of Kanyu in front of him with a dull look in his eyes. His fingers passed over certain places quietly, with a little greed and reluctance in his eyes.

"The world is so big."

"Cough-cough-"

He coughed a few times, and the handkerchief was stained with some blood.

He doesn't have much time left to live.

Being able to survive till now is just a matter of holding on.

After he closed his eyes, he looked at the chamberlain beside him and said, "Write a letter for me to send the envoy to Zhao to negotiate peace."

King Wei opened his eyes and looked outside. He spoke word by word what he was thinking and asked his chamberlain to write it down.

The more the servant listened, the more frightened he became. The king actually had such an idea?

After finishing writing a letter, King Wei whispered: "Write another one."

When the chamberlain finished writing, he stood up and suppressed the itchy feeling in his throat: "Immediately send people to Yan, Chu, Han, Qi, Qin and other countries. You must remember that you can only give them to them." Your Majesty!"

The waiter said softly: "Wei."

Qin State, in Xianyang City.

Zhangtai Palace

Ying Si sat in the palace, looking at the silk in front of him and paying no attention to it. He just looked at Chen Ye who was sitting opposite.

"Teacher, you haven't been out for a long time recently. Why did you come to my place today?"

Chen Ye looked at Ying Si and smiled slightly: "Because a certain node in the more ambitious goal has arrived."

He looked at Ying Si: "Do you have the idea of ​​​​unifying the world and sweeping the world?"

Ying Si's eyes lit up slightly, and then went out. He knew that it would definitely not be possible in his own era. If he could complete it, he would be the King of Qin for future generations.

But it doesn't matter.

Just like his father could bear to become king for his lofty goals and let him become king, he could also do something for the unification of Qin kings in later generations.

"Teacher, what should I do?"

Chen Ye smiled slightly: "Convene an alliance meeting."

A cold light flashed in his eyes: "If nothing else happens, Wei Guo should have already had this idea."

"The same goes for Zhao Guo."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have started this, would he?"

This is the king's tacit understanding.
