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

Chapter 177 What I Want [Second update, please subscribe]

Chen Su didn't know what his great-uncle looked like, and he had never seen him before, so he was a little curious.

But no matter how Chen Su asked, Chen Zhao refused to say any more.

He just shook his head and said: "You can just express your thoughts in the court tomorrow. As for your great father"

Chen Zhao smiled: "He is the best person I have ever met."

In the fifty-first year of King Zhaoxiang, after the Qin State destroyed Han, it went through three months of quarrels and finally decided how to treat the King of Han and the Han clan.

But this result made King Han, the Han clan, and the monarchs of the other five countries all relieved.

This does not mean that they have to give up resistance, but the question is, it is a good thing to have a way out, right? It's better than when there is really no way out. After the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, one more person has to die, right?

As for the title not being inherited, and the issue of the ancestral hall, what does that have to do with them?

After all, their titles are still there when they are alive, right?

That means it’s not their problem! Even under Jiuquan, they can still meet their ancestors and confidently say that they have tried their best! At least in my own hands, the title and the ancestral hall still exist!

In the post house.

King Han and the Han clan had excited expressions on their faces after receiving the edict from King Qin. They looked at the edict in their hands as if it were made of gold, but in an instant, there was a little sadness on their faces.

They worry about what to do in the future.

Although King Han was not as worried as the rest of the clan, he actually felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he couldn't continue to live the hedonistic life he had before, right?

His salary alone is not enough.

When King Han was worried, the chamberlain who came to deliver the edict glanced at King Han, as if he wanted to say something.

King Han immediately discovered this, so he stepped forward and quietly took off the jade pendant from his waist. Then he pretended to give it to the servant casually and asked in a low voice: "Dare you ask the envoy?" , but what do you want to say to me?"

The chamberlain fumbled for the jade pendant in his sleeves, and then smiled happily. He looked around, and then whispered in his ear: "Is Uncle Han worried about his future life?"

King Han, oh no, he is now Uncle Han.

His heart skipped a beat. Could there be anything the waiter could do? He immediately stepped forward and said, "Is there anything you can do?" His voice became more respectful.

The chamberlain just smiled slightly: "Of course you can't live a luxurious life with your salary alone. After all, my salary is not much, but..."

He leaned closer and lowered his voice, as if someone might hear him.

"The King of Qin is not afraid of appointing some talents of Han, nor does he think it is unforgivable for them to be loyal to you. Isn't it a pity that these people are loyal to you and loyal to the late Han, but give up their own talents? ?”

He chuckled: "For example, the unloved "Han Fei" of your clan came to Qin a few days ago. The right minister once admired his talent and recommended him to the king, but because he was not I am willing to serve Qin, so I have been left out."

"If Uncle Han can "admonish" this official in Qin, wouldn't his salary be enough? What's more, if you recommend such a great talent to Qin, won't there be any reward from the king?"

The servant said with some hints: "The king has always been generous, and he has many rewards for his virtuous ministers."

"Since Han Fei is loyal to you, won't it be that you still have the final say after receiving his reward?"

Uncle Han's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he almost patted his thigh.

How come this idea is so wonderful!

He thinks more than this servant. Recommending Han Fei or ordering Han Fei to serve Qin will not only get more rewards and money, but also allow him to live a better life in Qin. It will also make the King of Qin trust him more. ah!

He is a king who has subjugated his country. Doesn’t the King of Qin suspect that he wants to rebel?

Does Uncle Han have the ambition to restore the country?

A little bit, but not much, otherwise he wouldn't have wanted to surrender to Qin in the first place

Now this is the best way.

Uncle Han couldn't help but sigh in his heart, who came up with this idea? It was really bad, but it was also bad in his heart.

His eyes flashed with a smile, and he began to wait for Han Fei's return at night

The next day.

I don’t know how Uncle Han and Han Fei got along with each other. All in all, after a night of “long talks”, in the morning of the next day, “Uncle Han” who was qualified to go to court made a concession. All the countries in the world and many courtiers of Qin were shocked by this.

He wrote a letter recommending "Han Fei" to the clan, saying that Han Fei was a great talent, and with the magnanimity of the King of Qin, he should not care about his origin as a member of the Han clan.

I hope the King of Qin can reuse Han Fei.

The King of Qin, Ying Ji, obviously also knew this truth. He immediately summoned Han Fei with great joy, and Han Fei was also prostrate in the hall. Although he had a slight stutter, everyone could feel his talent.

Therefore, King Ying Ji of Qin immediately appointed "Han Fei" as his minister and "official" in the Prime Minister's Mansion. If he has "meritorious service" in the future, he can be promoted to the throne.

Enjoy a salary of "a thousand stones".

At the same time, the King of Qin was impressed by Han Bo's "selflessness" and specially added "a thousand food towns" to Han Bo. Of course, this thousand food towns had no actual reality, but were converted into gold based on the "money" that these food towns in Qin could provide. Silver, given to the King of Han every year.

It can be regarded as a kind of salary increase. After getting the hint from the chamberlain and before going to court, Han Bo was still a little nervous. He was afraid that King Qin would suspect him of being disobedient because of his recommendation.

But what happened in the court made him extremely excited!

A "Han Fei" can be sold for the price of "a thousand food towns", so what if his son cannot inherit these food towns? He can enjoy it himself!

Therefore, Uncle Han began to figure out which people in the clan or those who were loyal to Han could be "sold" at a good price.

Even if they can't sell for a particularly good price, one of them must have at least 50 or 100 yen, right?

Han was so big, if he sold dozens of them, wouldn't he be able to add several thousand more food? At that time, wouldn't he be worried about not being able to live the extravagant life he had in the past?

Now he doesn't have to support so many maids and chamberlains!

When Uncle Han rubbed his hands and began to think about who could sell it, the other five countries in the world also felt at a loss as to what to say.

what.

They seemed to suddenly realize, could it still be like this?

Several kings unconsciously began to fantasize about what kind of things they could "sell" at a good price when their country was destroyed and their family was destroyed. I am a minister.

But when they first started thinking about it, they felt like slapping themselves.

This country hasn't been broken yet, so why are you starting to think about this?

They were helpless.

As everyone knows, this is the effect that "Chen Zhao", "Chen Su" and "Ying Ji" want.

Who is the scariest person?

desperate people.

When a person is desperate and knows that they have no way out and the only way out is death, they will definitely fight to the death! Because both sides are dead, and if you give it a try, you might still be able to survive, so why not give it a try?

Who is the least scary person?

Hopeful people.

They will always not try their best because of the thought "Ah, there is still a way out if they fail."

Because as long as there is a way out, they will definitely take it.

Better to die than live.

A dead person is always a person who has no hope or no way out.

then

The atmosphere in the world seems a little strange.

This is an "atmosphere" that is about to be revealed, but also wants to put a layer of window paper on it. It is strange, but no one is willing to break this layer of window paper.

The remaining five existing countries have all kept silent and stopped talking about the fall of Han.

And Han Bo in Xianyang City was extremely excited.

In just six months, he successively recommended more than twenty "virtuous people". Some of these twenty-odd talented people were loyal to him, so they had to serve the Qin State under his orders. There are also those who volunteer to serve their "King of Han".

All in all, among the more than twenty talents, "fifteen" passed the test of King Qin.

Why is it said that it has passed the test?

Because after these fifteen wise men began to work conscientiously as "donkeys" and "pulled mills" for food, the King of Qin all rewarded Han Bo.

The most talented people were rewarded with "eight hundred food fiefs", and the few were rewarded with "one hundred food fiefs". In total, these talented people provided Han Bo with nearly four thousand food fiefs.

As a result, Han Bo once again lived a life of luxury and enjoyment.

Chu

The King of Chu looked strangely as he listened to the people below reporting on Uncle Han's situation in Xianyang City. He looked at the people next to him with a little sigh: "What you said about Uncle Han is quite interesting."

He is testing.

Test Chun Shenjun.

Because King Chu was really tempted.

Chun Shenjun coughed helplessly: "It's just for your own life, it's really helpless."

There was a bit of sadness in his eyebrows: "Qin State is really good at it."

It was not only the King of Chu and Lord Chun Shen who lamented the good tricks of the Qin State, but also the rest of the kings in the world.

Time passed like this, and in the blink of an eye it came to the summer of King Zhaoxiang's fifty-fifth year.

According to the records of "Book of Qin" and "Historical Records", May 10th and June 23rd of this year should be the happiest two days for the kings of the other five countries except Qin.

Because they got two of the best news in these two days.

"In the fifty-fifth year of King Zhaoxiang, on May 10th, the king suddenly became ill and could hardly speak, so he ordered the prince to supervise the country. - "The Book of Qin·The Chronicles of King Zhaoxiang""

And in just one month.

"In the fifty-fifth year of King Zhaoxiang, on the twenty-third day of the sixth month in the summer, the king died in Xianyang, and he was seventy-four years old. ——"The Book of Qin·The Chronicles of King Zhaoxiang""
