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

Chapter 112 "The Way to Build a Family" [4k second update, please subscribe]

The tragedy of the wars among the remaining five countries was due to the tragedy of the people. All the kings became red-eyed in the end, and they felt that they could not put down the swords in their hands at this time.

So blood flowed like a river.

The tragedy within Qin lies in the tragedy between factions.

Establishing a prince has always been a big deal, especially in today's Qin State. The Qin State is getting stronger and stronger, and almost everyone has seen the dawn of hope.

What glimmer of hope?

"To unify the world, we are restoring the "Bangzhou"."

Of course, "Bangzhou" has only breathed its last breath, and these people will not revive Bangzhou. What they think about is everything after the unification of Bangzhou.

Those with lofty ideals thought that the head of Guizhou and the people could live the lives they wanted, while those with less lofty ideals thought of the "enfeoffment" of the early Zhou Dynasty.

If he can assist Qin in unifying the world, will he have his own place when the feudal princes are divided?

If so, he can be king in the future!
  This is the most important thing for these people, so standing in line becomes the first fork in the road for them to take.

Which of the five princes can become the next King of Qin?
  The pond in Qin State suddenly became turbid.

It was also in this environment that the five young masters began to think of their own.

Xianyang Palace

Ying Dang sat in the main hall, with some deep thoughts on his brows. As the years passed, he grew up. If he didn't speak, he looked like a scheming young master.

But once you open your mouth.
  "Slut."

The woman opposite him spoke, with a look of worry on her face: "It's hard to fathom the thoughts of King Jian now. You have to win more support from the courtiers. Remember not to get angry because of trivial matters."

As Ying Dang's mother, she naturally understands Ying Dang best.

"And, you remember."

Her expression was solemn: "You can no longer show your hobbies, and I will kick out all the followers gathered around you!"

In the past, she had no objection to her son raising some strong men and women.

What young man doesn’t have his own preferences?

Can't you become the King of Qin if you have your own preferences? On the contrary, this is a display of personality. The Qin State built its country on its military merits, so it is not a big deal to like strong men, because strong men can also make contributions on the battlefield.

Such people can often become "strong men".

If someone says that Ying Dang's hobby is "evil", then they can use this excuse to excuse themselves.

but.
  not now.

The king is obviously interested in the crown prince, otherwise how could there be so many rumors in the court?

Doesn’t she understand her king yet?
  With Ying Si's control over the court, if he didn't want to establish a throne, all he needed to do was look at him and all these rumors would disappear overnight.

Ying Si cannot be allowed to be even slightly dissatisfied with Ying Dang.

Because at some point, even a little bit of disgust is enough to decide everything.

Ying Dang was awakened by his mother's words. He came back to his senses and said nonchalantly: "Mom, you don't have to worry."

He waved his hand and said carelessly: "As for those strong men, there is no need to send them away."

Ying Dang rejected his mother's proposal: "Is it a problem for me, a young master, to raise some retainers?"

Looking at her son's expression and listening to the impatience in his words, Ying Si's mother was also a little helpless. This son of hers would never listen to her.

Fortunately, the DPRK and China have restrained some of their forces.
  Thinking of this, she whispered: "The only person in the court who has not expressed his attitude is Chen."

"The Chen family has a very important voice in the court. Many people were once disciples of the Prime Minister, even the king."

"If you can win over Chen Ye, then the kingdom of Qin will undoubtedly fall into your hands."

She patted Ying Dang on the shoulder: "You are going to visit Chen Guoxiang in the next two days. Remember to behave in a polite and open-minded manner. You must not get into trouble with the Prime Minister or anyone in the Chen family over some trivial matter. conflict."

"Remember?"

When Ying Dang heard his mother mention the Chen family, the first person he thought of was no one else, but Chen Zhao.

The third generation of the Chen family, the person who threatened him when he was young.

A flash of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he suppressed it.

If he becomes the King of Qin, he will definitely uproot the Chen family!

Queen's palace
  Mi Bazi sat there, looking at the three children in front of him, and sighed quietly: "You are all my children, but now you have to kill each other for the throne. I really feel pain in my heart."

"But mother can't stand in your way."

She looked at Gongzi Kui, Gongzi Fu, and Gongzi Ji and said, "If you have any means, just use them."

"The forces of the Chu family above the imperial court are free to be co-opted by you."

Mi Bazi said with a slightly serious expression: "There is only one thing. I don't care how you three deal with the others, but if any of you dare to hurt your own brothers, then don't blame the Queen Mother for being ruthless!"

The three of them bowed slightly and even the youngest Ying Ji said, "Please rest assured, mother."

As for the credibility of the "rest assured" mentioned in this sentence, I don't know.

After leaving Mi Bazi's palace, Ying Ji slowly walked towards the distance with a worried look on his face. He sighed softly: "Although my mother said so, my two brothers are not good at saving money." lights."

"I'm afraid you've already been planning what to do to me, right?"

With a wry smile on his face, Ying Ji walked towards the distance. After all, he was the only person who was currently very close to the eldest son of the third generation of the Chen family.

He didn't know what kind of fate brought him so close to Chen Zhao, the third generation eldest son of the Chen family, but his advantages in the past have now become disadvantages. Of course, to a certain extent, they are still is an advantage.

Gongzi Kui, Gongzi Fu, Gongzi Dang, and even Gongzi Zhuang will first target him.

Because Chen was standing behind him.

With Chen's support, he is almost invincible. After all, Mr. Chen is still here.

He is Ying Si's teacher.

Even as long as that person is willing, he can also be the referee in this "establishment of the throne" battle.

Who wins and who loses is just a matter of one word, isn't it?

But at this time, he couldn't continue to worry, so he raised his feet and walked out of the palace.

He wanted to see his friends.

An Guojun Mansion
  Chen Ye was sitting in the room, with five young masters sitting in front of him.

This day was a very coincidental day. The five young masters all came to Chen Ye's mansion on the same day, or even at about the same time.

There is only one purpose, please see An Guojun. The five of them were each more humble and honest than the other. They sat in front of Chen Ye and called him "Master" honestly.

Isn’t their father’s teacher “teacher” to them?

Of course, relationships cannot be calculated this way.

Chen Ye also knew very well that this was just the five young masters trying to get closer to him. ,

After living for so long, what can’t he understand?
  It's just that he doesn't want to expose it, after all, it won't do him any good at all.

"Five gentlemen, please."

Chen Ye poured out the tea slowly, looking peaceful, as if he was unaware of the overt and covert fighting between the five people.

"This is the tea I found near Bashu before I sent someone. It is bitter in the mouth and sweet in the aftertaste. It is a first-class spring tea. This spring tea has gone through all kinds of hardships in frying, and finally came into my hands. "

Chen Ye said with a smile: "After I got this thing last year, I sent some of it to the palace."

"I only have this little bit left in my hand. When the five young masters came today, I simply brewed it for them so that you can have a taste."

Gongzi Dang, Gongzi Fu, and Gongzi Kui all lifted up the teacups in front of them with a fake smile. They didn't understand a word.

Ying Ji and Ying Zhuang, who understood, had some thoughts in their eyes. What did Lord An Guo mean by saying these words at this time?

Bitter in the mouth and sweet in the aftertaste?
  Ying Ji lowered his head thoughtfully and said softly: "After tasting it, I am indeed worthy of the fact that my husband found this thing from the land of Bashu thousands of miles away."

"It's much stronger than ordinary drinking water."

There were very few drinks in this era, and the only one with some flavor was probably "honey water", which was just adding some honey to the water.

The taste of honey is not very strong, so it can only be said to be a little sweet.

Yingzhuang is the oldest, now in his thirties.

He looked at Chen Ye and said, "Zhuang and your brothers came here rashly, which disturbed Lord An Guo."

"I was wrong to wait."

Chen Ye laughed loudly, pointed to the things on the table and said: "I have reached the age where my ears are clear, and I am even about to reach the age where I can follow my heart's desires. I just read books and drink tea at home all day long. What can I do? ?”

There seemed to be something else in his words: "It's a blessing for me that these gentlemen can even think of me, an old man."

While he was talking, a figure walked slowly not far away, it was Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao was holding a wooden plate with some pastries in his hand.

These were all made by Chen Ye when he was bored. If he couldn't make other things, couldn't he make pasta?
  "Young masters, let's have a taste. When I am free and bored on weekdays, I just started studying cooking skills."

Although several people were anxious and wanted to say something to win over, they all kept their mouths shut and said nothing due to the presence of other people.

After all, if you speak in this situation, wouldn't it give others a chance?
  Then, everyone fell into an eerie silence.

He just cooperated with Chen Ye and tasted the "cake".

While everyone was chatting, Young Master Dang couldn't help it. He didn't have a good impression of Chen Ye and the Chen family. Now, in his opinion, Chen Ye's behavior was even more humiliating and toying with them.

When he wanted to get angry, he suddenly thought of his father's attitude towards Chen Ye, and immediately suppressed the anger in his heart.

He looked up, the fake smile barely holding on to his face.

"Mr. An Guo, actually I came here this time to ask for something from Mr. An Guo."

As soon as Young Master Dang opened his mouth, the other young masters looked at each other with a flash of surprise in their eyes. Although they knew that this stupid young man would definitely be unable to bear it, they didn't expect that this stupid young man could not bear it.

So they all said: "I have something to do when I come here."

Young Master Dang curled his lips, these people didn't speak when he didn't speak, for fear of offending Lord An Guo, they all followed him when he spoke.

It’s simply shameless.

Chen Ye just smiled: "Oh? You gentlemen, at the same time, have something to do with this useless old man like me?"

"I just don't know what it is?"

The young master said carelessly: "I wonder if Mr. An Guo has ever heard of the "Controversy over the Establishment of the Crown Prince"?"

He seemed to be careless and directly said this thing that could not be said openly, just in front of the public.

Chen Ye blinked slightly: "I heard something, but not much. After all, I haven't been to the court for a long time."

Gongzidang ignored the next words. After hearing the first words, he just said: "It's good that Mr. An Guo has heard about it."

"Now, the five people who are competing for the throne are all here."

"Who do you want to support, Mr. An Guo and the "Chen family" behind him?"

Chen Ye didn't smile at this time, he just sat there: "Who do you support?"

"Chen supports King Qin."

Support King Qin?

What does it mean?
  Gongzidang also didn't understand: "What does Mr. An Guo mean?"

Gongzi Zhuang, who had been silent until now, spoke at this time. He interrupted Gongzi Dang's words, just looked into Chen Ye's eyes and said: "Does An Guojun mean that you don't want to participate in this "battle for establishing the crown prince?" "

Chen Ye nodded, ignoring Gongzi Dang's instantly gloomy face, and just said: "Not bad."

"Ms. Chen doesn't want to get involved in this fight to establish the heir apparent. This is the way Chen Mingshi builds his family."

"No matter who becomes the King of Qin, Chen will continue to accomplish what he wants to accomplish."

"Even if the new King of Qin no longer favors the Chen family and no longer trusts the Chen family, the Chen family will continue to fulfill the responsibilities of that position in the position assigned by the King of Qin."

Ying Zhuang was a little silent after hearing this, while Gongzi Dang was a little disdainful. He looked at Chen Ye and said, "Don't participate?"

He pointed at Chen Zhao beside him and said: "If he didn't participate, then why would Chen Zhao stand on the side of the fifth brother? Doesn't this represent the Chen family?"

After this question was asked, the other young masters, except Ying Ji, all looked at Chen Ye.

Obviously he also has doubts about this issue.

Chen Ye smiled slightly: "Chen Zhao can only represent himself, and have you forgotten one thing?"

"Chen Zhao originally went to the academy as the companion of all the young masters, but the young masters did not form friendship with Chen Zhao."

"Is not it?"
