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

Chapter 116 The traitor Chen Ye! [Update 4k, please subscribe]

Mi Bazi's emotion is not unreasonable. Whether it is the former dynasty or the harem, how many people can be favored by the king for a long time?
  Even Chen, who seems to have always been favored, isn't he still trembling with fear?

In the fourteenth year of King Huiwen's reign, the world seemed very peaceful, but "everything" hidden underneath was turbulent.

The "Alliance to Attack Chen" has never appeared or merged since its simple establishment.

Because they knew one thing very well, it was not just a matter of time to trip up Chen, they needed to find a suitable time.

And the right time doesn't just appear.

They are like poisonous snakes in the dark, quietly waiting for the right opportunity to appear.

In the fourteenth year of King Huiwen's reign, King Huiwen's health was in crisis again. The imperial doctor even said that there was some hope if he could survive this winter.

Everyone who is familiar with the way the imperial doctor speaks knows that this basically means that the king will not survive the winter of this year.

Zhangtai Palace
  Chen Ye, Chen Zhan, Chen Shen, Sima Cuo, Ying Ji, Zhang Yi, Su Qin and other important ministers of the country were all standing beside Ying Si's bed. It was natural that Ying Si summoned them here for important matters.

He reluctantly raised his hand, and said with a smile: "Teacher, I didn't expect that what I said a few days ago came true. I really can't survive you."

There was inexplicable sadness on Chen Ye's face. He stepped forward, held the hand that was raised with difficulty, and just said: "Why does the king say so?"

"The imperial doctor's order has already said that you will definitely be able to survive this winter."

"No problem."

There was a bitter smile on Ying Si's face. Why didn't he understand the meaning of the imperial doctor's order?

It was precisely because he understood the meaning contained in these words and his physical condition that he called these important ministers over.

As long as these few are here, even if his favorite King of Qin is not able to come back yet, Qin will have no hindrance.

He held Chen Ye's hand and said tremblingly: "Teacher, I know my body. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this winter."

"Cough cough cough."

Before he finished speaking, there were rapid coughs, and the servants beside him hurriedly served him, and the veil was all bright red.

Ying Si waved his hand and asked the chamberlain beside him to retreat. He looked at Chen Ye and said, "I have already written an edict about the next King of Qin."

Just as everyone was about to speak, Ying Si waved his hand again: "I know that my health has not yet been judged. It will be a problem to write the succession edict of the next King of Qin at this time. If my health recovers in the future, it will be a problem."

"But I'm afraid."

"Teacher, I'm afraid something might happen to my body."

He looked around at everyone and said softly: "I gave the edict to the teacher today. If I am in good health and can survive this winter as you said, then this edict will naturally be useless."

"If it happens suddenly, no matter what else comes up."

"No matter who takes out what edict, it must be based on the edict in the teacher's hand!"

"Do you know?"

Ying Si's hoarse voice contained a bit of solemnity and majesty, causing all the important ministers present to speak: "Wei!"

"I will never live up to the king's trust!"

Perhaps because he spoke too hard just now, Ying Si coughed again. When the coughing stopped, he looked at Chen Ye who was standing aside: "Teacher, I can't survive you. "

"I entrust my children and the country of Qin to you!"

He didn't wait for Chen Ye's reaction, then looked directly at the people standing aside and said: "During the time when I was seriously ill, the Prime Minister of the country was supervising the country!"

"Every matter should be handled by the Prime Minister!"

"Seeing the Prime Minister is like seeing an orphan!"

Ying Si's voice was more cautious than before. He looked at the people standing there. Among them were the clan, his younger brother Ying Ji, the frontier generals, Su Qin and Zhang Yi who had unparalleled vertical and horizontal skills. These were the pillars of the country.

But the only one who could support Qin was his teacher.

Chen Ye sighed and stepped forward slightly. He wanted to refuse this matter because the responsibility for this matter was too great.

More importantly, he didn't know what Ying Si's purpose was.

This situation is so similar.

It's too much like a well-known plot in later generations.
  Baidi City Tuogu!
  But even if Chen Ye is Zhuge Liang, is Ying Si Liu Bei?

Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence and righteousness is known to all the world, and although Ying Si's reputation for benevolence and righteousness is also known to the world, others don't know how Ying Si's reputation for benevolence and righteousness came about. Doesn't he, Chen Ye, not know?
  It's like making a star.
  Qin State, Ying Si, and even Qin Xiaogong Ying Quliang, the three of them are Chen Ye's most proud "works", making everyone believe that in this ambitious country, these two ambitious kings are "benevolent and righteous" kings!
  But looking at his apprentice's eyes with a little desire, Chen Ye still couldn't calm down after all.

Maybe people are always like this. Even if they know that there may be something bad for them ahead, their feelings will always sway a person and prevent him from making rational judgments.
  He spoke softly: "Although I am old, I hope that while I am still alive, I can support the country of Qin for the king!"

"If something goes wrong, I will definitely do my best and die."

He didn't dare to say that he was dedicated, but he dared to say that he was dedicated and had a clear conscience. He could not be regarded as Zhuge Wuhou, but he would never drag Chen to the old thief Sima.

Listening to Chen Ye's words, Ying Si's heart finally relaxed.

He smiled, and the smile on his weak cheeks was so dazzling that no one could bear to look at it.

Ying Si looked at Chen Shen and Chen Zhan aside and waved: "Shen'er, Zhan'er, come here."

When Chen Shen and Chen Zhan walked to his side, Ying Si looked at the two of them with a hint of inadvertent envy in his eyes: "Shen'er, Zhan'er, uncle doesn't know what to say to you. I just wish you a smooth future." Smooth road.”

He whispered: "Pass on the imperial edict and confer Chen Shen as the Prince's Young Master and Chen Zhan as the Prince's Young Master."

Nowadays, the crown prince has not yet been established but there are now the crown prince's young master and the crown prince's young master. This is a kind of constraint for the Chen family, but it is also a kind of protection for the Chen family.

The young master and the young master are all equivalent to the prince's teachers, and in this era of respecting teachers and paying attention to "etiquette", as long as there is no big difference between the two teachers appointed by the late king himself, wouldn't future kings be afraid of being infamy? ?

Ying Si was scared after all.

Perhaps the more powerful a person reaches this point, the more afraid they will be of what will happen next.

He looked at Zhang Yi and Su Qin who were standing aside: "Two gentlemen, I'm afraid I won't be able to see these two gentlemen conquering the world for their own sake!"

Su Qin and Zhang Yi looked at each other and stepped forward: "Why did the king say this?"

"This is my fault."

Ying Si waved his hand: "Okay, okay, there is no need to say this. Do we still pay attention to these false etiquettes between you and me, the monarch and my ministers?"

He sighed again and said: "Yingji, you stay, teacher, you all can leave."

Chen Ye and others did not ask anything, just bowed and left.

Ying Ji is from the clan, and he is also Ying Si's younger brother. It is normal for him to have something to explain. Outside the palace
  Sima Cuo and others looked at Chen Ye aside, with worries on their faces: "The king's body"

Chen Ye's face also showed helpless sadness: "The imperial doctor ordered that working hard day and night and worrying too much are the reasons why the king is seriously ill this time."

He looked into the distance: "Although the king is seriously ill now, he has handed over the affairs of the country to me. However, I am old and have low energy. I cannot complete the king's entrustment. You are still in your prime, so I will hand it over to you." ”

Sima Cuo, Zhang Yi, and Su Qin looked at each other and looked at Chen Zhan and Chen Shen who were standing aside and were about to say something. Chen Ye waved his hand: "Don't look at them. They are still young. They can't handle anything." Government affairs?”

"The king has already said that everything I said shall prevail. Did the three of you deny it just after leaving the hall?"

Sima Cuo and others smiled and agreed to the matter.

An Guojun Mansion
  Chen Ye looked at Chen Shen and Chen Zhan and said, "In the past few days, you should listen more and watch more, and remember not to speak out until it is absolutely necessary."

Chen and Shen didn't have the slightest confusion or doubt, and nodded immediately: "I understand, kid."

This was not the time for Chen to be in the limelight. After all, the king was seriously ill and had left the government to several ministers. However, there were seven ministers in total, and Chen herself occupied three.

And one of them is also the person who oversees state affairs.

This one even got the words, "To see him is like seeing a king."

Isn't this Chen being pushed to the forefront? When you are proud, you should be more careful and prudent. The right way to build a family is to establish yourself with "clear virtue".

It’s still the familiar words.

“Don’t give in when you are poor, don’t be slutty when you are rich.”

Su Fu
  The four of them, Sima Cuo, were sitting in the mansion, with puzzled expressions on their faces: "What's wrong with Mr. An Guo?"

"Do you feel that An Guojun and Brother Siko have been a little strange these past few days?"

Su Qin and Zhang Yi were sitting there. They were obviously smarter than the martial artist Sima Cuo, and they immediately saw the hidden content behind this matter.
  Ying Ji sat there without saying a word, looking at Sima Cuo with a slightly disgusted look, like he was looking at an idiot.

Sima Cuo was still asking questions: "Recently, I asked Sikou to ask about government affairs. When I wanted him to ask An Guojun for his opinion, I couldn't find him."

"Even if he could be found, he said with an apologetic expression that An Guojun was in ill health and he was afraid that he couldn't handle it, so he asked me to come to you two to discuss it."

"I said I discussed the same thing with them, but he said he was also ill?"

"I said that was really not possible, so I could call that boy Chen Zhan to discuss it together. But Sikou said that that boy Chen Zhan was also ill???"

"Let's not talk about An Guojun and Sikou. An Guojun is old and I can understand his physical condition. Sikou looks weak at first glance, so I can understand his physical condition."

"But that boy Chen Zhan is as strong as a bull. He runs rampant all day long. He is so healthy that he wishes he could hold up three of me."

"Why is he so ill?"

Zhang Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter as she listened. She pointed at Sima Cuo and said, "General Sima, don't you feel something is wrong?"

"Even if they are ill, is it such a coincidence that all three members of An Guojun's mansion are ill?"

"And it's so serious that you can't even come forward?"

He shook his head, with a sigh in his tone: "This is to avoid suspicion."

avoid arousing suspicion?

Su Qin opened his eyes, with some admiration in his eyes: "The king ordered the four of us to serve as ministers of the auxiliary country. Now that he is seriously ill, he ordered An Guojun to oversee everything. But there are seven ministers of auxiliary country, and Chen herself has three indivual."

"And one of them can make a decision directly regardless of our opinions."

"Don't you think that Mr. Chen is standing in the spotlight and being too ostentatious?"

Sima Cuo had a look of astonishment on his face. Of course he was not stupid, so he understood Su Qin's point. But it was precisely because he was not stupid that he didn't understand even more. ‘

"The king has so much trust in An Guojun and others, how can he doubt them?"

"This is trust in them!"

Su Qin actually laughed. As his status and age gradually increased, he sometimes dared to make a few jokes about Chen Ye in private.

Of course, without any malicious intent.

"Don't you know that our Lord An Guo is the most cautious person?"

"Seeing that I am at the forefront of the storm, of course I have to hide. Didn't Mr. Shang do the same thing back then?"

Speaking of Mr. Shang, everyone present fell silent.

They thought that in the past, when Lord Shang became the Prime Minister, he would stay in seclusion in the name of "physical illness" and not see anyone. But now that his disciple Chen Ye has become the Prime Minister and is also assisting the country, He actually made the same choice.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

Sima Cuo shook his head and couldn't help complaining: "Oh, Mr. An Guo is too careful. Is there anyone in the country who would criticize Mr. An Guo?"

"Who doesn't know the contribution Mr. An Guo has made with his whole heart for the country?"

Zhang Yi sneered: "It's precisely because Lord An Guo has done so much! That's why some people have thoughts they shouldn't have!"

"These days, Xianyang City is not peaceful."

This is indeed true.

When Ying Si was seriously ill and could hardly take charge of the affairs of the court, so Chen Ye and several ministers were ordered to assist the country, some rumors quietly appeared.

Just a few days after Chen Ye, Chen Zhan, and Chen Shen became ill, some courtiers began to write letters, saying that Chen Ye's arbitrary decision on the court's policy was an act of transgression.

In recent days, some memorials have almost come close to being clear.

Su Qin's eyes were downcast, and before he could speak, Ying Ji spoke: "Wait."

"Wait until those people reveal their true purpose."

"That's it, catch them all in one fell swoop and eradicate them all!"

Ying Ji doesn't talk much, but every sentence he says is straightforward and not sloppy at all.

A few days later, the memorial letter clearly stated his purpose.

Someone impeached Chen Ye at the court and said in the memorial: "The chaos in Qin was caused by traitors."

"The sycophant, Chen Ye!"

The court was shocked when these words came out.

PS: I’m late. Sorry. Try your best not to be late tonight!
