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

Chapter 170 "Calculation" [Second update, please subscribe]

The right candidate is not easy to find.

Yingzhu has many sons, but not many are truly useful, easy to use, and currently have "investment value."

What is investment value?

It means that you have capital that can soar to the sky, but it is now at a low level.

Such "goods" are the best goods.

Buy low and sell high.

People looked around and finally found a suitable candidate, his name was "Ying Yiren".

Ying Yiren's identity is Ying Zhu's child, but he is a child who is not very favored. He is now a hostage in Zhao State, and there is no help around him.

Being a hostage in Zhao State is a point that can be used "reasonably", which reminded King Zhaoxiang of himself.

And when people inquired about Ying Yiren's experiences over the years, they also discovered Ying Yiren's talent.

A child less than ten years old in a foreign country not only did not panic, but was extremely calm and calmly resisted many of King Zhao's temptations.

Aren't people like this born to be kings?

But not everyone has the courage to contact the young master directly because they are afraid of Ying Ji.

Will Ying Ji let them interfere in this matter?

this is a problem.

As a result, some people wanted to test King Zhaoxiang Ying Ji's views on the matter, while others were more "bold". He did not worry about King Zhaoxiang's mood and views on the matter, but directly brought Wan Guan's family fortune went to Handan, Zhao State.

He believed that even if the Zhao State did not dare to treat Qin Gongzi Ying Yiren harshly because of the majesty of the Qin State, Ying Yiren's life must not be that good.

Now when everyone is hesitating and entangled, this is his best opportunity.

If you want to be the first one!

Except that the first person can get a generous "reward", the "benefits" obtained by the others who follow the trend must be greatly reduced.

This person is called "Lu Buwei".

One of the protagonists of "a rare thing to live in" in history, Lu Buwei, the prime minister of a miscellaneous family, later boldly wanted to become the "Zhongfu" of the First Emperor.

Zhangtai Palace

Ying Ji sat lazily in the main hall, with a hint of impatience in his expression: "These people want to get and do everything."

He looked at Ying Zhu, who was sitting beside him handling government affairs, and became even more angry. He snorted coldly: "You useless thing, those ministers have already gone to please your son, don't you care? not angry?"

Yingzhu sat there, handling the government affairs in his hands, and sighed softly: "Father, if they want to go, let them go."

"This is the norm."

He said easily: "My father also knows about my health. Whether I can persist until that day is a question."

"not to mention"

Yingzhu smiled slightly, with a calm expression on his face: "No matter how they look for my son, they will eventually come to me, right?"

"Whether it's the kid from Yi Ren that they are currently optimistic about, or Xi, if you want them to get better "benefits", then they must get it from me and my father's permission."

"Otherwise, what kind of waves can they make?"

Ying Ji sat there in slight silence, and then said: "Chen Yu of the Chen family has accepted Ying Yiren as his disciple. Do you know about this?"

Yingzhu nodded and his voice remained unchanged: "This matter is not what my father thought."

He explained for Ying Yiren and Chen: "When Chen Perk first accepted that boy as his disciple, he didn't know that he was the son of the Qin State."

"It was only after we got to know each other and became a disciple half-heartedly that the boy told Chen Per."

Yingzhu said with a smile: "My father also knows the character of the Chen family. They have always been about "having a clear conscience." Yiren cried and asked Chen Per: Is it because I am Mr. Qin that you will not accept me as a disciple? ?Have you begun to hate the surname Ying?"

He held his forehead and sighed: "The Chen family are all "gentlemen". Although I can see that the Yiren guy is pretending, I really feel that he is a talent that can be made."

"So that boy Chen Perk gritted his teeth and accepted the foreigner. Mr. Chen An also learned from Zhuangzi. He has always done things casually and did not interfere with his children's choices."

"This is what happened."

Ying Ji sneered: "You know how to cry when something happens, which means you are relying on Chen's soft heart."

He sighed and said: "I have never doubted the Chen family. You don't have to explain to them like this. I know their character."

Ying Ji looked at the sky in the distance and said softly: "What I did back then seems to be wrong now. The Chen family has never been the "Tian family", and will never do anything like "Chen family replaces Qin". "

He looked at Yingzhu and said, "I haven't admitted to doing many wrong things in my life, but I need to admit this. I did it wrong."

Ying Ji sighed in a low voice: "Alas."

Long sighs circulated in the hall, and the two continued to deal with government affairs. Chen Mansion

Chen Su looked at his father in front of him, his eyes twitching slightly: "Father, have you guessed that the king would think so?"

Chen Zhao blinked, still looking like an old naughty boy despite his age.

He looked at the "rewards" placed in the courtyard and just sent by Ying Ji's edict and smiled slightly: "Our king is the most suspicious and the most intelligent. If everything is secretive, then he will definitely I will get to the bottom of it and start to doubt Chen again."

"But when we put everything on the table, he no longer doubted it."

Chen Zhao leaned back, sighed and said: "Of course, the reason why this matter was able to succeed smoothly is also because of the belief that Chen has always insisted on. The king feels that Chen's character is always a "gentleman", and a gentleman You can bully them."

"When he is in the "calculating side", he will always start to feel proud and happy."

There was a cold look in Chen Zhao's eyes, and he was like a sword being drawn out of its sheath: "It was the same when the king asked my second uncle to come out."

"He cried and asked his second uncle if he wanted to abandon Qin. The second uncle had no choice but to leave the mountain."

"But the king doesn't know that the second uncle wanted to come out because he didn't want to see the people in the world suffer."

At this point, Chen Zhao paused, and then sighed: "No, maybe he knows, but he just wants to do this to show his "courteous and virtuous corporal"."

"but"

Chen Zhao looked at Chen Su meaningfully: "Su'er, you have to know that power is poison and will gradually corrode a person's head."

"When a person's thinking becomes inertial and he cannot remain calm and rational all the time, he will make some small mistakes, and some of the "small mistakes" of big people will be like a mountain to others. "

Yes.

The fact that Chen Yu accepted Ying Yiren was also Chen's plan.

Just more obscure.

Chen Perk knew from the beginning that Ying Yiren was the son of the Qin State, and also knew from the beginning that he would definitely return to the Qin State.

Because Prince Yingzhu's health and abilities are not good enough, how could Ying Ji, the "big devil", be satisfied with such a prince and the next King of Qin?

After holding power for nearly forty years, Ying Ji's heart has already changed, and his desire for control has become very strong. He wants to control the appointment of the next generation, the next generation, and even the next generation of King Qin.

The Qin State was powerful and not afraid of the Zhao State. It sent protons just to reassure the Zhao State.

Therefore, there will be no mistakes in Ying Yiren's return.

This is Chen’s “bet”.

The Chen family has already taken the initial shape of a "rich family". Whether it is placing a bet or taking every step, it must be calculated step by step, and no matter who it is, it must be calculated.

Even myself.

So what if people from the Chen family have always been "gentlemen"?

Who says that a gentleman cannot and will not scheme against others?

The calculations of a gentleman are the most difficult to guard against.

Chen Zhao looked at Chen Su and said, "Just sit in Sikou's seat safely."

He changed the topic and stopped talking about Ying Yiren's plan. He just said: "The position of Sikou is not high in rank, but it is a very important position because he controls the "Law of Qin" and the Law of Qin." It is the foundation of Qin."

"Everything about the Chen family comes from Qin Law. In this position, you can learn and understand at the same time."

Chen Zhao's voice was light and airy, as if he was thinking of his grandfather Chen Ye's words back then. He repeated word for word: "No matter what you do, you need to do it, that is, do it."

"Your understanding of something is called "knowledge"."

"If you just look at something and don't do it, you will never truly master it."

"Your great-grandfather once said that if people of the Chen family cannot "unify knowledge and action", they will travel around the world and learn in real practice. If they still can't do it, then do it. A kid from a rich family."

Chen Zhao looked at Chen Su: "Although you are my direct eldest son, if you can't do this, I won't be partial."

"You will not be the next head of the Chen family."

Chen Su's face was equally calm, and he just whispered: "Su'er knows."

Handan City.

Lu Buwei came to Handan City with a huge fortune, but he did not see a "little pitiful person".

Instead, he met a "noble young master".

Lu Buwei looked at the young man in front of him with a dull look on his face. Every move of the young man perfectly met the requirements of "Mr. Qin". He did not look like a child who had been a hostage for nearly ten years.

This is not right.

Why did things become like this?

Who struck in front of him?

With a ferocious look on his face, Lu Buwei began to look for the person who "strike first". He wanted to tear that person into pieces.

However, when he found out, Lu Buwei quickly calmed down his anger and said to himself in a very approachable manner: "Ah, it turns out to be the Chen family."

"That's okay."
