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

Chapter 108 Who in the world can escape! [4k second update, please subscribe]

The world is in chaos!

Real chaos in the world.

It was as if the accelerator button had been pressed in an instant, and the whole world was in chaos.

In the autumn of the fourth year of King Shenliang's reign, in a solemn atmosphere, the seven powerful countries that held an alliance launched a war against the surrounding small countries in an instant!
  There is no reason, no excuse, just a straightforward war!

That barbaric behavior shocked and saddened the people of the world. They could see from these actions that the disputes among the world were about to begin!

This is real strife!
  People from all over the world and historians feel waves of trembling!
  This is the trembling from their souls!
  They felt the end of a magnificent era, and also felt the arrival of another more chaotic and exciting era!

Continuous historians began to record this period of history.

They divided the history of Bangzhou into two parts, one before and one after.

From then on, almost no one had any objection as to when the new history began and when the old history ended.

In the autumn of the fourth year of King Zhou Shenliang's reign (316 BC)!
  This is a node destined to be remembered in history, and no one will forget it.

In the autumn of King Huiwen's fifth year (316 BC).

Xianyang city center
  Zhangtai Palace

Ying Si was sitting in the main hall, and there were noisy sounds coming from outside. Hearing the sounds, he felt helpless in his heart. This is the disadvantage of having the name of "benevolence and righteousness".

Outside were all students petitioning. They wanted Qin to stand up and denounce the unjust war of the other five countries.

But what they don't know is that the people sitting in this hall are already with the five countries!
  Not only the people in this hall, but also the Yan State, which they considered to be "as benevolent and righteous as the Qin State", also participated in this gluttonous feast!
  No one is an exception!

All the carnivores opened their bloody mouths, wanting to devour everything that was weak, so as to cultivate their own flesh and blood.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, just when Ying Si was about to stand up and go out to respond.

As footsteps sounded, a person walked in.

It was Chen Shen.

Chen Shen took a breath, and then said softly: "Your Majesty, my father guessed that you might have been impulsive and walked out of the hall to give an explanation to those students. My father asked me to tell you that he will solve the problem for the people outside."

"I hope you won't show up."

"At this time, Your Majesty's intervention will only make Qin passive."

Ying Si sighed quietly. Listening to the noise outside, he couldn't help but said: "It's all because of my incompetence. I actually asked the teacher to go out and solve the problem for me at this age."

There was guilt in his heart.

After all, while sitting in this hall, he was actually waiting for "Chen Ye" to appear.

He felt that the invincible old man, the old man who had solved the problem many times, would definitely solve the problem that arose this time.

Ying Si relied on Chen Ye.

Although they are of the same generation in terms of seniority, who made Chen Ye marry his sister?

Outside Xianyang Palace
  There were bursts of noise, and many students stood there with indignation on their faces.

These students who have not experienced the chaos outside do not know so many thoughts. They just know that the war initiated by the five countries is an unjust war! And this kind of war should be stopped!

The only one who can stop them is Qin!

They did not take Qin's interests into consideration, but were passionate and hoped that Qin would defend Qin's name of benevolence and righteousness with "blood".

Most of these people are from other countries.

And none of the Old Qin people in Xianyang Academy participated in this matter, because everyone in Old Qin knew that if a war broke out, if there was a war with the Five Kingdoms, then it would be their "family members" who would pay with their lives.

Must be "Old Qin people."

People from other countries may come to Qin to seek high-ranking positions, but will they sacrifice themselves for the benefit of Qin?

less.

Or almost none.

A chariot came slowly from the distance, and the person on it was Chen Ye.

Chen Ye's body was slightly stooped, and Chen Zhan drove the car for him.

There are probably only two people in the entire Qin State who can let a fifteenth-level knight drive for him, one is Chen Ye and the other is Ying Si.

At this time, someone shouted.

"An Guojun is here!!!"

The voice of words was very conspicuous in the noise, and people on the periphery began to scream.

"An Guojun is here!!!"

"An Guojun is here!!!!!!"

"An Guojun is here!!!!!!"

Amidst the passing of such sounds, people gradually became quiet. They stood there, quietly looking at the chariot that had specially made a passage through the crowd, and also at the old man on the chariot.

The old man stood on the chariot with a peaceful expression.

Chen Ye looked at the students around him, a rare look of solemnity appeared on his face, a look that the students had never seen before.

Because although Chen Ye sometimes went to Xianyang Academy to give lectures to students, he never got angry.

"Cough-cough-"

A faint cough sounded, echoing in the crowd.

"What are you doing here?"

Chen Ye looked around. Everyone who looked at Chen Ye lowered their heads with some guilt. They didn't know why they felt guilty, but inexplicably felt that they should not and could not look at this old man.

Of course--

Although this was due to Chen Ye's own prestige and momentum, it was more due to the [Low Class C] prop he had just used, which he had drawn out two years ago.

[Power]: After use, you will strengthen your power and improve your majesty and credibility.

When he pulled out this prop, Chen Ye had thought about when he would use it, but now he didn't expect it to be used here.

He laughed in his heart. He had thought about learning "Lin Xiangru" before. What if one day someone threatened his monarch or threatened himself, and used this thing to scare him?
  After seeing everyone lower their heads, Chen Ye sneered and asked directly without waiting for anyone to answer: "You students surrounded the palace, but you want to force the palace to rebel?"

Chen Ye stretched out his hand, and Chen Zhan on the side clearly pulled out the sword from his waist and placed it in Chen Ye's hand.

"bump!"

The long sword was thrown to the ground by Chen Ye, causing layers of smoke to rise. "Come."

"Who wants to rebel?"

"I am here, kill me with a long sword, and then break into the palace behind me!"

His eyes were sharp and angry: "Although the king has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness, the king is the king of Qin! Who gave you the courage to besiege the palace?"

Chen Ye's roar spread throughout the street, and those students who had almost lost their minds before with such indignation felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured down from their heads, chilling their hearts.
  They suddenly woke up.

Why did you come to Xianyang Academy? In order to seek an official position in Qin State! Find a way out!
  What is the most important thing if you want to find a way out in Qin?
  It is to consider the interests of Qin!
  He only thinks about Qin!
  Of course, the most important thing is not to let King Qin be dissatisfied with him!
  But what are they doing now?
  They besieged the palace of the King of Qin because of the Five Kingdoms' attack on the small country?

The students who had calmed down were almost fainting at this time.

But there is still a small group of people standing there indignantly, with anger and unwillingness in their eyes!
  These are naturally people from the small countries of Wei, Song, and Lu.

Their country was besieged, and there was almost no possibility of survival. Naturally, they had to run around and scream.

Chen Ye knew that at this time, most people's hearts had been moved by him, leaving only a small group of people, and this small group was also the most determined and hardest to convince.

Because it hurts their fundamental interests.

So he said in a calmer tone: "Of course, I know that some students do such things out of sorrow and anger."

"After all, their country was besieged and attacked, so they were angry and lost their minds."

Chen Ye sighed; "If at this moment, I replaced all of you present, I would do the same thing, because as long as I can save the country behind me, what can I do even if I leave this broken body behind? ?”

These words touched the hearts of those people, and the corners of their eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Thinking of the country that was still swaying in the flames of war and could disappear at any time, their emotions could no longer be controlled. Choking and sobbing echoed in the crowd.

The man does not flick when he has tears, but he has not yet reached the point of sadness!
  The country is about to perish!

What sorrow could be more tragic than this?

Chen Ye's voice was filled with sadness. He looked at the crying people present and said, "I know you are sad, but is there anything Qin can do?"

"Now, the Huns are marching southward!"

"Qin and Yan are on their way south!"

Chen Ye opened his arms and asked in an incomprehensible voice: "Everyone, do you want Qin to give up resisting the Xiongnu and conquer the five countries in the Central Plains?"

"Are we going to let the barbarians invade the land of the Central Plains?"

There was also anger on his face: "Are we going to let Qin give up Qin itself because of other countries in the Central Plains?"

"Can Qin resist the Xiongnu and the alliance of the five Central Plains countries at the same time?"

Chen Ye looked around: "Do you think King Qin feels good at this time?"

"Since King Qin came back from the alliance meeting, he has not eaten or drank for half a month! He is forced to take some water and rice every day."

"Why?"

"Because at the alliance meeting, King Qin was told that the Xiongnu had gone south. If Qin stood up to oppose the war between them and small countries at this time, then they would first turn their weapons and target Qin!"

"Under attack from two sides, can Qin survive safely?"

When Chen Ye said this, he burst into tears.

"Of course!"

"Meng Ke once said, life is what I want, and righteousness is also what I want; you cannot have both, sacrifice life for righteousness!"

"The State of Qin can save justice regardless of its own safety!"

"You can hold a spear in your hand and fight until the last old Qin man dies in the war!"

"but--"

"Who can bear the sin of the Xiongnu going south to invade the Central Plains after the fall of Qin?"

Chen Ye stood there, his rickety body gradually straightened up. He just stood there quietly, looking like an insurmountable mountain.

"I know you have resentment and hatred in your hearts."

"Then just resent me!"

Chen Ye couldn't stop crying, and his voice was so choked that he could barely make a sound: "Swear me! Hate me!"

"As the Prime Minister of the State of Qin! Lord An! The minister who was left behind by the late emperor to assist the country, I do not allow the king to send troops to attack the five countries of the Central Plains! I do not agree that the king will cause the destruction of the Qin State in the name of benevolence and righteousness!"

At this point, Chen Ye could hardly stand up straight.

The students around the chariot were already crying bitterly. Many students from Lu, Wei, and Song were kneeling on the ground, their voices choked with sadness. They knew it, they knew it.

He knew that he should not resent Qin State, nor should he resent the old man in front of him.

What they should resent is the man who destroyed their country!
  Qin did nothing wrong! The old man in front of me didn’t do anything wrong!
  While they were crying, a little anger emerged in their hearts, and that anger almost burned everything!
  Study, study!
  They want to use everything they have learned in their lives on Qin!

They want to help Qin dominate the world!
  Don’t the five countries in the Central Plains like this kind of unjust war? Then let them also perish in this unjust war!
  Qin should be unified!
  At this time, the tightly closed palace door opened.

Ying Si walked out of it. His robes had already been replaced by plain ones, and even the crown on his head had been replaced by a plain crown!
  He stood there, looking sad and pale, and even needed someone's help to stand there.

After coming out, Ying Si didn't say a word.

He bowed to everyone, his expression was inexplicably sad, and his body did not get up for a long time.

"It's not An Guojun's fault, it's not the teacher's fault."

Ying Si's voice was choked with sobs: "It's me, it's my fault."

"It's because I am so incompetent!"

When the last word "neng" was uttered, Ying Si's crying could hardly be concealed. He stood there, almost sobbing.

"It's just a few people who are incompetent! They can't protect the world!"

Tears fell from the monarch's cheeks. Even when they saw Ying Si losing his composure, the students around him did not feel the slightest disdain. On the contrary, it was this kind of gaffe that moved the hearts of many students even more.

The kings of a country can weep loudly for the destruction of their country and change into plain clothes.

If this is not the King of Benevolence and Righteousness, who else can be worthy of the title of King of Benevolence and Righteousness?
  Many students bent down and saluted: "This matter is not the fault of King Qin!"

"The sins committed by us are too numerous to describe!"

"Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

"In the fifth year of King Huiwen's reign, the world was in chaos and the various kingdoms were in conflict. Qi, Chu, Han, Zhao and Wei allied themselves to attack Lu, Wei, and Song Dynasty, and the Xiongnu went south. At that time, all the students from the Xianyang Academy surrounded the palace and it was in danger. Lord An drove out and asked for explanations. He said angrily: "This is my crime, not the king's." King Qin Yingsi came out wearing plain shoes and a crown, and said: "This is not the crime of An Guojun, but the crime of being alone and incompetent! Can't protect the world! ". All the students were sad and bowed their heads and said: "This is our sin! It is not the fault of King Qin! ". Tai Shigong praised: The world is in danger, not because of Qin's fault; King Qin Yingsi, wearing plain clothes and taking the country's mourning as the justice of the world, is this not a benevolent and righteous king? No ancient sage can compare with him! - "Historical Records of Qin" First""
