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

Chapter 175 The Giant Steps [Second update, please subscribe]

Without any preparation, after Qin and Zhao defeated Wei, Qin quickly launched a war against South Korea.

King Han was dumbfounded.

The kings of Wei and Zhao were also dumbfounded. They didn't know what King Qin meant, but launching an attack on Han at this time would probably be a disaster for Han.

King Han was confused in the palace and wanted to find a way, a way to save Han, but he couldn't think of it.

Young Master Han "Han Fei" appeared at this time. He stood in front of King Han and expressed his willingness to go to Qin as an envoy and asked King Qin to let Han go. However, he looked directly at King Han and asked King Han if he was willing to pay. What a price.

King Han's expression was calm but also frantic. He looked at Han Fei and said softly: "As long as Han's ancestral hall can be preserved, any other price is not a price."

He said slightly crazily: "I hope you can succeed, otherwise when you come back, I'm afraid you won't be able to see Han anymore."

Han Fei bowed and saluted, with some tears and regret in his eyes: "My lord, I will do my best."

Looking at the stuttering Han Fei, King Han closed his eyes. In fact, he had no other choice, otherwise he would never let Han Fei go to Qin and let a stuttering person do the things of the "strategist". Isn't it a joke to play with the "power of words"?

But the King of Han sadly found that except for this clan who was not taken seriously, almost no one in Han was willing to go to Qin, and no one was able to go to South Korea.

In the fiftieth year of King Zhaoxiang's reign, Han Fei got on a chariot heading to Qin. He wanted to save his country.

But he may not have this chance.

In the fiftieth year of King Zhaoxiang, Xianyang City.

Chen Mansion

Han Fei's first stop after arriving in Xianyang City was to the Chen Mansion, because Han Fei felt that the only people in the entire Qin Kingdom who could shake the will of the King of Qin were the Chen clan.

He wanted to ask the Chen family, who had always been "benevolent and righteous", to advise the King of Qin, hoping that the King of Qin would not destroy Han.

There was a rustling sound in the yard, and leaves fell one by one.

Suddenly a leaf fell on the chessboard in front of the two of them. Chen Zhao raised his head with a somewhat peaceful look on his face: "You are not calm. How can a person who is not calm play chess well?"

Chen Zhao put down the chess piece in his hand and said directly without waiting for Han Fei to speak: "I know your purpose, but there is one thing I don't understand."

Han Fei raised his head, with confusion and excitement on his face. He looked at Chen Zhao and asked, "First of all, what do you have to teach me, sir?"

Chen Zhao knocked on his head and asked as if he didn't understand. "There seems to be a natural sense of separation between your works and your thoughts. This is the thing I can't understand the most."

He looked directly at Han Fei and asked: "There are traces of Legalism everywhere in your works, and you are consistent with Legalism's consistent thinking, advocating the establishment of a "grand unification" centralized feudal autocratic country. .”

"Is it?"

"Did I say this wrong?"

Han Fei shook his head: "Sir, you are right."

Unknowingly, Han Fei's stutter seemed to be cured, but neither of them paid attention to this problem at this time.

He just asked: "But why do you say that my works have a sense of separation from me?"

Chen Zhao blinked: "Why did you come to Qin State and Chen Mansion to find me?"

Han Fei said without thinking: "I would like to ask you, sir, to advise the King of Qin not to engage in unjust war, and to ask the King of Qin to let Han go."

These words were spoken very smoothly, even smoother than the previous words.

After hearing this, Chen Zhao looked at Han Fei and said, "Don't you want "unification"? Then if you ask King Qin to let Han go, aren't you obstructing the unification?"

“Isn’t what Qin is doing practicing the legalist idea of ​​unification?”

He put the chess piece on the table and made a clear sound: "That's why I said you cut it."

"In your opinion, only Han can unify?"

"Is only the unification of Han considered a great unification?"

These words were so heart-wrenching that Han Fei suddenly stuttered again: "No, no, it's not." He blushed and said, "The unification of any country is unification!"

Chen Zhao sneered: "Then from what standpoint do you admonish me?"

He looked at Han Fei and asked, "As a member of the Han clan, you should know how Han came to be, right?"

Han Fei's expression turned pale again: "I know."

He raised his head and mustered up the courage to say, "Three families will be promoted."

Chen Zhao nodded: "Yes, the three families will be promoted."

"So Jin can be destroyed, why can't Han? Just because Han is your country, Han Fei's?"

"What did Han, who was located in the Central Plains, do to enable him to unify the six countries? Was it a thorough reform like Qin, or was it the improvement of the "forging method" like Wei, or was it like Zhao, who was riding on horseback and shooting in disguise?"

Han Fei lowered his head, his face extremely pale: "None of them."

Chen Zhao asked again: "Did the King of Han treat the people well and let them live and work in peace and contentment?"

Han Fei's head lowered: "No."

Chen Zhao continued to ask: "The king of Han valued wise ministers? Let wise ministers govern the country? Is he a wise king?"

Han Fei almost plunged his head into the soil: "No."

Chen Zhao was even more surprised and asked: "Since there are none, then Mr. Han, what identity and why do you use to ask me to admonish the King of Qin?"

He sighed and said, "When you figure out what you want, come back to me."

"I'll always be waiting for you."

Han Fei stood up in despair, bowed and left, murmuring about Chen Zhao's question as he left.

What does he want?

In what capacity do you request Chen Zhao?

Han Fei himself didn't know.

In the fifty-first year of King Zhaoxiang, in just one year, Bai Qi, Wang Jian, and Meng Yu led the army to the gates of Handu. King Han was almost crazy. He did not receive any good news from Xianyang.

He wore white plain clothes and went to the clan with some sadness, crying with snot and tears.

But these spiritual tablets made of wood obviously have no effect, and they cannot protect Han, the King of Han, and the people of Han.

They are just dead things.

In the autumn of the fifty-first year of King Zhaoxiang, after being besieged for three months, King Han finally announced his surrender.

Wearing ordinary clothes and accessories, he walked out of the city gate very sincerely, walked in front of the Qin army, and then slowly knelt down and knelt down.

This is the first "king" to have such a gesture.

He presented the map of Han Dynasty, the seal of the King of Han, and the grain of Han.

This autumn in the fifty-first year of King Zhaoxiang’s reign.

Han, which lasted for one hundred and seventy-three years, was officially declared destroyed.

Bells rang.

This is the "rumbling" of the giant's footsteps.
