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

Chapter 162 Chen’s Story [Second update, please subscribe]

[This chapter begins with a change of perspective~ The transition is over, the subsequent perspectives are those of the heads of each generation of the Chen family. The pace will also become faster. 】

The two came to the "Zhuoshen Building", and then Chen Shen took out the key from his arms, opened the door, and walked in.

The environment inside the house seemed very ordinary, with some dust floating in the air. A dull sunlight shone in from the distant window, and the dust was visible to the naked eye.

Time flies like smoke, so many years have passed in a daze.

Chen Zhao looked at the many books in front of him, then looked at his father who was standing in front of the books, a little silent, and said softly: "Father."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Shen spoke.

"You come with me."

Chen Shen touched a place on the bookshelf and walked in, with a tired look on his face.

Chen Zhao followed him into the small dark room.

There is nothing here, only the burning candles reflecting the surrounding darkness.

Chen Shen pushed the mechanism to close the door, then sat there and turned to look at Chen Zhao: "Zhao'er, my time is coming."

He closed his eyes and waved his hand to stop Chen Zhao who wanted to speak: "Listen to me first."

"Finish the story about Chen."

Many memories appeared in front of Chen Shen's eyes. As he spoke, he recalled the original story in his mind, from his birth until now.

He looked at Chen Zhao and said, "Do you know why my father has always firmly believed that the Chen family can last for thousands of years?"

Chen Zhao paused for a moment. He looked at Chen Shen, and his heart became slightly serious. He knew that he was about to touch Chen's ultimate "secret".

Chen Shen picked up the "Qilin Jade" from his waist and handed it to Chen Zhao in front of him, just like when his father handed the Qilin Jade to him.

"Hold it."

When Chen Zhao held the unicorn jade, he was suddenly startled. He suddenly felt that his "brain" was much clearer, and many things that had not been answered in the past seemed to have come to a conclusion.

"This is.?"

There was confusion in his voice, and he said with some confusion: "Father, what is this? Why does the Chen family have such a magical object?"

Chen Shen stood up and patted his legs and feet. Elderly people just couldn't sit still. After sitting for a while, they would feel physically tired.

"This is Qilin Jade."

"It is a treasure left by your great father."

He looked into the void, as if he was looking at each other in the "Peach Blossom Spring": "Your eldest father and fifth uncle are actually not dead, or they are in a mysterious and mysterious realm, in a place called " "Peach Blossom Spring" place.

Chen Shen looked at Chen Zhao's confused eyes and said with a smile: "This is the treasure left by your eldest father. He can give guidance to the descendants of the Chen family through dreams."

"What the Chen family members have to do is to continue the family as long as possible and become a "thousand-year-old family."

Chen Zhao subconsciously asked: "Then why do we want to become a thousand-year-old family?"

Chen Shen shrugged slightly: "Your eldest father didn't tell me this."

He pointed to the copybook hanging behind him and said: "Another point is that even if the Chen family wants to last for a thousand years and become a thousand-year-old family, they must not do anything with a guilty conscience."

Chen Zhao was silent, and then asked: "Then if Mr. Chen doesn't do something with a guilty conscience, he won't be able to continue?"

Chen Shen didn't hesitate at all: "I'd rather have the jade broken."

He looked directly into Chen Zhao's eyes: "I know these are two seemingly conflicting requirements. After all, in the trend of history, sometimes we cannot guarantee that we will always be strong." "But I can tell you, if it is true, When it comes to the point where the fight between the Xia and the barbarians is at stake, then it is better to be in pieces than in ruins."

"This is Chen's bottom line!"

At this point, Chen Shen looked at the stern-faced Chen Zhao and suddenly laughed: "Don't be so serious."

"Chen's power is so great now. He can use this power to do some things and leave behind countless back-ups."

"Your third uncle will take the Chen clan members of his lineage to Handan, Zhao State. They are still members of the Chen clan, but they are no longer considered members of the "main lineage of the Chen family."

"The continuation of generations, the changes of bloodline from generation to generation."

"If one of the bloodlines is broken, then it will be adopted from the rest of the bloodlines. In short, they are all members of the Chen family."

"As long as you have the blood of the Chen family on your body and firmly practice the ancestral motto of "Looking up to the sky, bowing to the earth, and having a clear conscience, you are worthy of yourself", that is the representative of the "Guandu Chen family".

Chen Shen patted Chen Zhao on the shoulder, as if a huge burden had been lifted.

"I don't have much time left, and holding this Qilin Jade will have no effect."

"I'll give this to you."

"Remember, only the next head of the Chen family can know the secrets of this unicorn jade and the family! The rest of the family must not tell them."

After a moment of silence, he added: "Believe, but also doubt."

Chen Shen walked up to Chen Zhao, patted Chen Zhao on the shoulder, and said softly: "In Chen's story, the story of the second generation is almost coming to an end."

"The rest is the story that your third generation will write."

Chen Zhao lowered his head and looked at the unicorn jade in his hand. He didn't know what to say. He just sighed quietly and long, and said again: "Father."

And his father Chen Shen has already walked out of the secret room.

Standing in the sun, looking at the clouds and the blue sky in the distance, Chen Shen suddenly felt that he felt a lot more relaxed, as if he had let go of all the worries.

"The chapter of Chen's story has ended with me."

In the eighteenth year of King Zhaoxiang's reign, General Ying died of illness in Xianyang City.

In the same month, General Sima died in Xianyang City.

The deaths of the two generals cast a slight shadow on Qin's victory, but at the same time, Qin's status in the world continued to rise.

In July of the eighteenth year of King Zhaoxiang, the State of Qin used money to purchase two cities from the "Qu family" of the State of Chu, and "purchased" three or four cities from the King of Chu that the State of Wei had repaid to the State of Chu.

King Chu Qingxiang sighed in the palace, with a look of joy on his face.

He did not expect that it was just a covenant that not only protected Chu State for so many years, but also obtained so many gold and silver treasures with only one general and a few soldiers without any casualties.

And King Qin was equally happy.

Because he did not spit out the city he had obtained.

In July of the eighteenth year of King Zhaoxiang, the territory of Qin had expanded to an almost terrifying level. It could even be called a powerful country spanning both sides of the river, located in the west and the Central Plains.

On the contrary, the land of Han and Wei shrank greatly, and even Chu State could not escape.

Zhangtai Palace

Ying Ji looked majestic. He looked at the map of Kanyu spread on the ground and stepped on it.

He is like a "tiger" patrolling his territory.
