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

Chapter 11 Winning over [First update, please collect and read]

When Chen Ye heard this, his voice was very calm and decisive: "Then, according to Qin law, Zuo Shuchang's judgment is correct."

"I think that should be the case."

No one refuted, because Chen Ye was holding the Qin Law with Qin Xiaogong above his head personally admitting that this law was the Qin Law, so according to the Qin Law, it should indeed be handled this way.

Neither Slug nor Heijia had any objections.

On the contrary, Shang Yang's expression was a little complicated. He looked at Chen Ye, who was standing there, standing tall and straight, and sighed quietly in his heart.

Hei Jia, Slug and a group of old nobles had the opposite views and feelings than Shang Yang. Instead, they felt a little surprised in their hearts because they discovered another problem.

Chen Ye didn't want to stand on Shang Yang's side.

If you want to side with Shang Yang, you can just handle it according to Qin Law. There is no need to ask Qin Xiaogong whether the [new law] is recognized by Qin Law.

Some thoughts floated in their minds.

Maybe Chen Ye is someone he can win over?
  Qin Palace, back hall

Qin Xiaogong looked at Shang Yang who was sitting in front of him with a worried look on his face, and couldn't help but sneered: "You always like to worry about useless things and things."

He picked up the chess piece in his hand and placed it firmly on the chessboard.

"Perhaps this choice is a good thing for you, Qin, and even himself."

Shang Yang raised his head with a complicated expression: "Your Majesty, do you really think this is a good thing?"

"I'm worried that those people will surround him like vultures that have smelled the scent, tempting him all the time and leading him astray."

Qin Xiaogong raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you so worried about him?"

He then said: "Don't worry, I don't think Chen Ye is the kind of person who would get involved in these things, and haven't you noticed? Chen Ye is actually on your side, but he didn't show it very well. It’s just obvious.”

"Why would Chen Ye ask me if the new law is recognized by Qin Law?"

"That's an obvious yes."

"Whether the previous questions, doubts, or deliberately saying things that should be exempted if not recognized, are all to convince everyone with the justice and dignity of Qin Law."

"If the few people do not support you, or have an erratic attitude, then this sentence is indeed viewed from a neutral perspective."

"But I obviously support the new law."

"He directly simplified a controversial issue into an issue decided by a few people. Doesn't this count as supporting you?"

After Qin Xiaogong finished speaking, Shang Yang showed a look of sudden realization on his face.
  Perhaps it was because the authorities were obsessed with him. At this time, after Qin Xiaogong pointed out everything, he suddenly realized that his apprentice seemed to be fair, but in fact he still stood by his side.

Raise the flag for the new law.

It's just that he is more obscure and seems to be impartial.

He sighed softly: "Perhaps it is my luck to meet Chen Ye at this time."

"In this case, I can let go."

Heijia Mansion
  His steps were hurried, and his face and eyes were full of excitement: "Sikou's position is not very important, but it is very important at this time. He can completely control the thief Shang Yang!"

"With the right to interpret Qin's laws, it will be much easier for us to take action against Shang Yang!"

Slug looked a little hesitant. He didn't quite believe that Shang Yang's disciples would betray Shang Yang and side with them. He immediately said, "Mr. Hei, do you really think that Chen Ye will be on our side?"

"He has received great favor from Shang Yang. If he rebels against Shang Yang and goes away, not only his character but also his reputation in the world, is he worthy of our trust?"

Heijia turned his head, with a cold look on his face: "What does his character have to do with us?"

"We only used him briefly to attack Shang Yang."

"When Shang Yang dies, he will naturally be useless."

Hei Jia's eyes were full of ambition: "Winning over Chen Ye is the sharpest knife we ​​can see today that stabs Shang Yang!"

"Don't give up this knife!"

Having said this, he looked up and looked outside the house: "Prepare the car! I want to visit Chen Sikou!"

Sikou Mansion

Chen Ye closed his eyes and waited. After today's court meeting, Heijia, Slug and others will definitely come to look for him, and the purpose of looking for him must be to win over him and achieve the purpose of attacking Shang Yang.

He picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip. After becoming a Sikou, his salary and various rewards also arrived.

Chen Ye was not used to the tea soup of this era, so he asked the boy to prepare honey water.

In this era, this slightly sweet water is already a very rare thing. Except for nobles and high-ranking officials like him, other people cannot enjoy this kind of thing. .

He looked at the smoke and dust outside the house, thinking about his next plan.

Now that he has become a Sikou, he has completed the first step of entering the new law. The next step is to find a way to further enhance his [status and power], and then he will take advantage of the opportunity to become the prince's teacher.

In the future, the prince will have a fight with Shang Yang because he opposes and questions the new law, and the prince's teacher will also have his nose picked out because of "scapegoating".

This is a very harsh criminal law.

During the implementation of the new law, a total of two people suffered this punishment, and these two people became the trigger and gravedigger of Shang Yang's death in the future.

First, the young master is pious. After the death of Qin Xiaogong, a descendant of the clan, it was he who reported and framed Shang Yang for treason.

Second, Gongsun Jia. The prince's teacher, it was precisely because of his humiliation that there was an irreconcilable conflict between the prince Ying Si and Shang Yang. Because Gongsun Jia represents the dignity of the prince.

Together, these two men caused Shang Yang's death.

If Chen Ye wants to save Shang Yang's life in the future, or in other words, save Shang Yang's clan members and heirs, he must change the prince's attitude before anything has happened.

He put down the cup in his hand with a smile on his lips.

If he wanted to become the prince's teacher, he had completed the most necessary and important condition, satisfying Qin Xiaogong and letting Qin Xiaogong know that he and Shang Yang were on the same side.

All that's left is to spread his reputation as a virtuous person and show off his talents, so that Duke Xiao of Qin and the prince know that he can serve as the prince's teacher.

While Chen Ye was thinking, the servant's voice came from outside.

"Inform Sikou that Duke Heijia is here to visit."

Chen Ye raised his brows and looked into the distance: "Please."

He knew that the first step to spread his virtuous name was also the most important step, and it was also the step to build the initial reputation for his family.
