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

Chapter 111 The Beginning of the War [2k supplement from yesterday, please subscribe]

There has been a wave of voices proposing the establishment of a reserve bank since six years ago, and many of them are adding fuel to the flames.

The domestic tidal wave gradually became louder until the seventh year of King Huiwen's watch.

Perhaps the people behind it became more and more emboldened because their voices were not suppressed from the beginning.

In the winter of the seventh year of King Huiwen's watch, when King Huiwen Ying Si had physical problems, this voice seemed to finally find a suitable excuse.

Everyone no longer hides their intentions.

People kept proposing to establish a prince in the court, and these people were from different factions.

The "Chu family", "Legal family", "Confucian family", "Mo family", "Political family", etc. all have their own young masters who support them. They all want the young master they support to become the next king of Qin, and then wipe out the rest of the Qin family. The power of the genre.

The various schools of thought were not peaceful at the time of their birth.

It is not uncommon for each family to criticize each other, and there are even cases of killing people because of disagreements at the beginning.
  You tear down my platform, and I will tear down your platform.

You refuted my thoughts and political opinions. After I went to other countries and was favored by the king and became the leader, I secretly drove people of your group out.

Just like a beautiful and gorgeous stage, people from various schools of thought are the "actors" on it.

So far, the most vocal among the Qin people are "Gongzi Dang", "Gongzi Ji", "Gongzi Fu", "Gongzi Kui" and "Gongzi Zhuang".

What is surprising is that among these five princes, three are the children of the "Queen" Mi Bazi.

Gongzidang is the daughter of the most favored wife besides Mi Bazi.

Gongzi Zhuang was the eldest son of King Huiwen.

After hearing the domestic rumors and news, Chen Ye laughed inexplicably. History was changed after all.

Even if it's just a little bit.

But didn’t that supposedly unchangeable rut eventually deviate from the track in some things?

Perhaps from early on, the ruts began to gradually shift away from the track.

It's just that the changes are too subtle.

For example, "Xianyang Academy" replaced "Jixia Academy" and became the final glory of the thought of the era of various schools of thought. For example, Xianyang Academy is still respected by people to this day, and has not been despised or trampled by the king.

For example, Mencius did not stay in Qi State, but was suspected by the King of Qi because of his experience in Xianyang Academy, and finally stayed in Xianyang City and Qin State.

For example, Su Qin and Zhang Yi became colleagues.

Another example.
  Mi Bazi became the queen, and Ying Ji became the legitimate "eldest son". The eldest son was no longer the "young master" born of the "Queen Huiwen" who didn't even leave her name.

This is the change of history.

But history is always naughty. Although you are allowed to make small changes in some aspects, in some places, perhaps because there are not enough "ruts" of change, you will still return to the original track.

For example, in the mind of King Huiwen Yingsi, "Yingji" still had to become a hostage and go to the Kingdom of Zhao and go through some "tribulations" before he could obtain the "True Scripture".

Of course, Chen Ye still doesn't know if there will be another "King Wu of Qin" who did something and died "accidentally" in the future, and finally made Ying Ji the king.

This is unfathomable.

"This is my disciple."

Chen Ye sighed quietly and said: "It's getting harder and harder to guess. Who knows whether he really told me his future plans or whether he was testing me?"

As he said to Chen Zhao, the king's heart is unpredictable.

Even Chen Ye, who had watched Ying Si grow up since childhood, did not dare or want to speculate on Ying Si's heart at this time. After all, Ying Si is a king, and after all, he is a famous king in history.

He just used his "prophet" to spy on some things. This does not mean that he is any better than Ying Si. It can even be said that if it were not for these "prophet", he would not even be as good as the outstanding students in Xianyang Academy. some students.

Just as the voice of the Qin Kingdom gradually expanded, the rest of the world was not very peaceful.

In the first year of King Nan of Zhou Dynasty, King Wei met the emperor.

After the King of Wei met the Emperor, he quickly returned to the country. In the name of the "Emperor", he called on the "princes" to fight against injustice and help Han Yi fight against Zhao.

Soon after, Yan and Qi responded one after another, and the four countries formed an alliance to jointly fight against Zhao.

King Zhao did not react at all, and even sneered.

He thought he could fight against the Four Kingdoms Alliance, because before this, Qin had not only fought against the Four Kingdoms Alliance, but also against the Five Kingdoms Alliance.
  Zhao State was one of the "Five Kingdoms" that was "defeated" back then.

Isn't today's Zhao State comparable to the Qin State many years ago? Isn't it that powerful?
  It is easy to deal with several countries that have begun to decline.

These are the thoughts of King Zhao Wuling.

The idea of ​​the Four Kingdoms Alliance is, if I can't defeat Qin, I can't defeat you?
  Even if you change the law, what will happen?
  Who among you here has never reformed?
  Who is not one of the seven powerful nations? If I weren't powerful, would you join forces with us to destroy other small countries?

So, with both sides holding this idea, the mighty war that lasted for nearly seven years and was known in history as the "War of Gangyu" began. (I made it up)
  This is a catastrophe.

Yes, havoc.

In the history of China with the "Chen Family", in the past, present and future, there have been only five wars that can be called catastrophic.

"Battle of Gangyu", "Battle of Broken Jade", "Battle of Defeating Heaven", "Battle of Protecting the Country", "Battle of Death on Yashan".

Among them, except for the battle of Gangyu, the other wars were tragic wars with hope, and they were all victorious in the end.

Of course, the prerequisite for victory is the accumulation of countless blood.

When the Battle of Yu just started, no one could have predicted the bloody outcome of this battlefield.
  After all, in the countless years of war-torn Chinese history, this is just a small war.
  When the war began, the kings of the five countries were confused.

Is this Zhao State/Is this the Four Kingdoms Alliance?

A thought popped up in their minds: "Qin State, you are so damn harmful to me!"

In the first year of the war, the kings didn't care. It was a war. The dead would not be killed on their heads anyway.
  Just some people.

In the second year of the war, several kings gritted their teeth and insisted. It was already this time, so we couldn't stop, right?

third year of war
  The kings of the five kingdoms have become red-eyed.

Watching them kill each other red-eyed, the happiest people were of course Chu and Qin who were not involved.

Especially Qin.

But in an instant, Qin was unhappy.

Because there has been a vigorous "battle for the establishment of the crown prince" in China.

This is a war without gunpowder, but it is also very tragic.
