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

Chapter 18 Rumors [Second update, please collect and read]

The huge palace is almost empty now, as if the glory of the past no longer exists.

And that's exactly what happened.

The last piece of land in the Zhou Dynasty, the land of Wang Ji, was granted to Zhou Gongzi Gen. Today, the King of Zhou still seems to be the common master of the world, and all countries must obey his orders, but in fact it has long become a castle in the air.

Ji Bian sat in the main hall, thinking about the past glory, and the grief and anger in his heart gradually rose.

"Have the inheritance left by the former King Wu been completely destroyed by me? Not even a trace of it is left?"

The crown on his head had long been removed, and when he stood up, his long hair hung down behind him, looking a little embarrassed.

Ji Bian held the hammer in his hand and walked towards the chime not far away. He looked at the mottled bronze chime and slammed the hammer down in his hand.

The sound of chimes with the rich sound of history resounded throughout the hall. People outside the hall stood there, quietly waiting for everything to happen to His Royal Highness the King of Zhou.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

Every ringing of the bell made Ji Bian even more angry. He was in the middle of his emotions and couldn't let go at all.

But so what?

It’s just that the flowers have fallen away due to helplessness.

Qin State.

Heijia Mansion.

Slug looked at Heijia in front of him with a bit of pride in his expression: "You asked me to spread Chen Ye's reputation, and I have already done it."

"Now both Wei and Zhao and Yan Chuju who are far away in the bitter cold land know the name of Chen Ye and are very worried about him. They got the news from the spies around the king of Wei. The favorite of the king of Wei is Wei. The king of the country offered his strategy.”

"He wants to sow discord between Shang Yang and Chen Ye."

"Make them kill each other."

There was excitement and excitement in Slug's expression. He seemed to see that after these two people killed each other under the plan, the Qin State was left with only the interests that they could occupy the majority, and the new law was forced to terminate.

Heijia frowned, he didn't think so.

"How could the King of Wei have spies like you or me by his side? I'm afraid he deliberately spread this news, and -"

Heijia sneered: "The authenticity of this news is not very reliable."

Slug was stunned for a moment, then said: "It shouldn't be possible, right? After all, the best way to get rid of Chen Ye and Shang Yang is to drive a wedge between them."

"How could you lie about something like this?"

Heijia smiled slightly and already had a guess in his heart: "This is not false, but it should not be two tigers fighting, but three tigers!"

Three tigers?

Slug was not an idiot. He almost immediately guessed who the other hidden tiger was. Apart from them, who else in the entire Qin State could stand in this position and be called a tiger, and with Shang Yang and Chen Ye, Does it matter?
  His expression suddenly changed: "Then are we just going to watch the new law continue to be implemented?"

Heijia shook his head slightly, looked at the slug and said, "Now we just need to wait."

"Let's see how Shang Yang and Chen Ye react, and then we can make a move."

"It should be noted that no matter what time, the impatient person will never be the final winner. The final winner must belong to the patient person."

He turned his head and looked calm: "And what I don't lack most is patience." Rumors have always spread quickly, especially messages about the big shots in the country, whether they are Guizhou or refugees, anyone will have them. Curiosity and the desire to share.

And these desires are the best weapons to launch an attack.

In just five days, rumors about the relationship between Chen Ye and Shang Yang spread throughout Liyang City.

All the capitals in Guizhou are secretly discussing this pair of teachers and disciples in Pingshui.

Discuss whether the relationship between them is really master and apprentice, discuss Chen Ye's impartial law enforcement, and discuss why so many people in the Gongsun clan oppose and slander the new law.

What's more, they began to discuss who could win the final victory between Shang Yang and Chen Ye.

Shang Yang knew the news before these rumors spread throughout Liyang City, but he did not stop the spread of the news.

There are two best opportunities to stop a rumor from spreading.

First, the rumors have not yet started and are in their infancy.

Second, the rumor mill was at its peak.

This time cannot be early or late.

If it is done early, people will not be so aware of the rumor, and it will play a role in propaganda; if it is done late, people will have forgotten the rumor.

To Heijia's surprise, not only Shang Yang, but also Chen Ye did not react at all to the rumors that were almost spreading throughout Yueyang City.

Just like two fishermen leisurely watching the fish swim around in the water, and finally create circles of ripples.

After five days.

As time passed, the rumors finally reached their peak at this moment. Because the leaders of Guizhou were not restricted and had almost the only opportunity to discuss matters considered state affairs, their enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high.

At this moment, Shang Yang took action.

In other words, it was not just Shang Yang who took action, but also Chen Ye, who had been silent.

A chariot slowly set off from Chen Ye's mansion. The speed was not fast and could be seen by almost everyone. Sitting on the chariot was Chen Ye, who was at the center of rumors and public opinion.

There was no trace of impatience in Chen Ye's expression, like a silent dead tree.

At the door of Zuo Shuchang's mansion, Shang Yang stood steadily there with a peaceful smile on his face, waiting for a guest who didn't come from far away.

The spies surrounding Shang Yang's mansion sent the news back the moment they saw Shang Yang going out.

The wind in the distance blew gently, and leaves fell to the ground one by one.

The wheels made a squeaking sound, and the fallen leaves were slowly crushed under the wheels in the wind. The dry leaves almost broke into pieces without making any sound, while the leaves that had not completely lost their moisture moved with the rotation of the wheels. Floating into the distance.

People's eyes and words followed the movement of the chariot. Everyone was curious, where would the Sikou go when he left the house for the first time in nearly ten days?

Smart people have already guessed the outcome.

For example, Heijia, Slug, Qin Xiaogong, Gongzi Qian, and all the nobles, ministers, and clan members in Qin all knew the news.

When Heijia heard the news, not only did he not feel depressed at all, but he looked up to the sky and smiled, his laughter almost covering up the autumn wind and the ground.

Slug stood beside him, confused.

"Why is Mr. Hei laughing?"

Hei Jia looked at the mansion in the distance with a happy face: "I laugh at that. Regardless of whether Shang Yang and Chen Ye were pretending to have severed ties before or were they really cutting off their robes, the relationship between the two at this time can no longer be reversed. room!"
