The battle of conquering the country!

Ying Zheng was startled. All the emotions he felt after being slandered completely disappeared. He said with surprise on his face: "Teacher, is Qin ready now?"

He hesitated for a moment and then said: "At this time, the Qin State is experiencing disasters one after another. This is not a suitable time."

It was clear that Ying Zheng himself was impatient to launch a war to conquer the country and then dominate the world, but at this time Ying Zheng still said: "Teacher, wait a little longer, until the disaster is all gone in two years. "

Ying Zheng's eyes gradually became firm. He looked at Chen Zhong and said softly: "The people of Qin cannot be affected by this disaster just because of me."

"Just wait a little longer."

His eyes were bright and shining. At this moment, Ying Zheng looked like the emperor in history.

"When the disaster is over, I will definitely start a war to conquer the country."

Looking at the young man standing there with a calm face, Chen Zhong's eyes showed some emotion. The child who could only cry back then has grown up.

He didn't need to coax him anymore.

"it is good."

Chen Zhong smiled slightly. This was indeed not the right time, but how could Chen Zhong really watch Ying Zheng being slandered?

So he wanted to launch a war to conquer the country.

He is not a decision-making machine without emotions, but a real "person", and people always have emotions.

What's more, Chen Zhong doesn't have Qilin Jade to keep him sane.

This is what makes people human!

In the second year of Qin Wangzheng's reign, it was late winter.

Due to the passing of Chen Yu, the former Right Prime Minister and Lord An Guo, the position of Right Prime Minister became vacant again, but no one in the Qin State tried to get involved in this position, because they all knew that this position belonged to one person.

Sikou Chen Zhong.

Not everyone within the Qin State was "jealous" of the Chen family, because the Chen family had controlled the position of right prime minister for many years.

But they also had to admit that a member of the Chen family was indeed the most suitable candidate for the position of "right prime minister". Even Lu Buwei had this idea.

Chen is a big tree that cannot be easily shaken.

The only two people who can shake the Chen family are the Chen family themselves and the King of Qin.

But now the Chen family has no idea of ​​​​moving, and the King of Qin also trusts the people in the Chen family.

So, on the last day of the court meeting at the end of winter that year, King Yingzheng of Qin, who had not yet been crowned as pro-government, announced that Chen Zhong, the chief minister of the Jin Dynasty, would be the right prime minister. As for the left prime minister? Lu Buwei is still in charge.

And at this court meeting, King Qin once again announced another decision that did not surprise anyone.

In addition, Chen Zheng, the son of Chen Su, was appointed as the Sikou of the Qin State and was in charge of the affairs of the Qin Dynasty.

Guandu

Chen's Mansion

Chen Su was sitting in the courtyard. He had already reached the age of his father.

Over the years, he has done nothing in Guandu, but has been immersed in the career of his father and eldest father. He continues to cultivate disciples who belong to the "Chen family".

It is also constantly recording the interpretations of many books.

This is called "annotation of scriptures". Of course, in this era, there is no such thing as "jing", but this is what Chen Su did.

Why were the members of aristocratic families able to become members of aristocratic families during the Han Dynasty?

That's because they have the "right to annotate scriptures," that is, the right to interpret the classics. To put it simply, they have the right to compile "reference answers."

With the standard of "knowledge", they can recruit disciples. This is the first step.

And don’t those who hold high positions among the disciples need them? of course not.

Connections are universal, and even people at the top need "help" from people at the bottom, or need someone to "do things" for them, so that they can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Therefore, with "the right to comment on scriptures" as the core and "the aristocratic family members" as the center, a dense network was opened like this.

The "spiders" who are capable of weaving webs all cling to this huge web, and then work hard to "spin silk" in order to make the benefits that this web can capture greater.

Of course, the Internet is not the most important thing. What is important is the people who use the Internet.

Some people use the Internet to do evil, while others use the Internet to do things that have a "clear conscience" and are worthy of heaven and earth.

This is the biggest difference between "good" and "evil".

"Ugh."

Chen Su let out a long sigh. He looked at Chen Zheng sitting in front of him and said softly: "If you don't want to, I can ask the king to take back your life."

He did not want his son to be involved in political struggles because he could see his son's character.

As his name suggests, Chen Zhengren is too "upright" and too "upright". It does not mean that the court at this time cannot tolerate an "upright" person, but that such a person is destined to go down in court politics. Not too long.

Chen Su didn't want the white-haired man to give away the black-haired man in the end.

Chen Zheng's voice was also solemn and serious: "Father, I want to go."

He whispered: "Isn't what Chen did for Qin Lu's dignity and justice? It's not that I don't want to trust others, but I feel that I can do a good job."

"So, I should do it."

"With his useful body, he establishes his destiny for the creatures of heaven and earth."

"This is what a member of the Chen family needs to do, isn't it?"

At this moment, looking at his son's eyes, Chen Su became a little silent. Is Chen Zheng right?

that's right.

Therefore, Chen Su had no way to refute.

He suddenly smiled and said softly: "Okay, Zheng'er, then do what you want."

"Now that you have taken this step, don't regret it."

"No matter what happens, just move forward courageously. Mrs. Chen will be your strongest support."

Chen Zheng looked at his father sitting there. At this moment, he felt that his father seemed different from before, but he didn't know what was different about his father.

He just nodded slightly and said, "I know, father."

In "Peach Blossom Spring"

Chen Ye looked at this scene and clapped his hands and laughed, "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha while laughing while Chen Ye put his hands on his hands and laughed."

"This generation of Chen has produced another extraordinary person."

Chen Shen and Chen Zhao, who were standing next to them, had a look of helplessness and grievance in their eyes. Chen Zhao said, "Uncle, you have never told us before that the effects of Kirin Jade are not all positive. .”

Chen Ye shrugged slightly: "That's why you are as stupid as donkeys!"

This is a bit exaggerated. After all, neither Chen Zhao nor Chen Shen were too much affected by Qilin Jade. In other words, Kirin Jade does not have any "backlash" or any "negative" impact.

Its function is exactly as it sounds, very simple.

A state that “keeps you sane.”

But is sanity always a good thing?

No, rationality may not be a good thing sometimes, because it can make people become "cold". Isn't the reason why people are human because they have various emotions?

Human emotions are sometimes the most powerful thing.

Chen Ye said with emotion: "But having said that, I don't know what kind of life Zheng'er will have."

He took a look at the situation outside and sighed again.

Chen Zhao and Chen Shen also sighed quietly. After they came to the "Peach Blossom Spring", they heard Chen Ye talk about "the established destiny of history." If the Qin State was to be destroyed, what choice would the Chen family make? ?

They don't want to and can't interfere too much with reality, they can only watch the choices of people in the Chen family.

Because in the long history, the Chen family is destined to go a long way, and they cannot intervene every time. What is the difference between such a Chen family and a "child"?

In the third year of the Qin Dynasty, the son of the Chen family was transferred to Guandu. Chen Zheng entered the court as an official and was in charge of the position of commander of the bandits.

At the same time, the officials in the court are also full of talents.

For example, "Han Fei" who was an internal official, "Zhang Liang" who served the King of Qin, and "virtuous talents" recommended by the kings of Han and Zhao, the Qin State could be called a "rich talent" for a while.

So many talented people naturally made Qin stronger.

The domestic disasters gradually disappeared in the slow process of sorting out, and with the concerted efforts of Qin officials, the people of the country once again lived a "peaceful" life.

At least they can't see the impact of the disaster on them.

Generally speaking, plague will appear after disasters such as waterlogging, floods, and droughts, and officials up and down the court also attach great importance to this.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, the disaster and subsequent effects have finally passed.

The Qin State was like a vigorous and reborn "dragon", raising its noble head again, and on the opposite side were the three kingdoms of Qi, Yan, and Chu.

Heads of Guizhou continued to flee to Qin from the borders of the Three Kingdoms. They knew that they would not end well if they continued to stay in that land, so they left their homes.

Leaving my beloved hometown.

In the fourth year of the Qin Dynasty, the impact of the disaster had completely passed, and some people who had fled from other countries were properly resettled in different places in the Qin State.

They registered their household registration and road guidance, and truly became "Xin Qin people", which is what they call themselves.

The four years of the Qin Dynasty passed peacefully. Even the "Book of Qin", which records the most detailed history of Qin, does not have too many records about this year.

Only one sentence

"The King of Qin has been in power for four years, and he has ordered the people to recuperate and not fight for many years."

This year was recorded in just a dozen words.

And his next year, the fifth year of Qin Wangzheng's reign, was very exciting.

Because this year, the war of conquering the country that had been stagnant for several years was once again started by the King of Qin who had already taken charge!

The fifth year of the Qin Dynasty

In the early spring of this year, Chen Xue and Zheng Guo sent good news to Ying Zheng. The construction of water conservancy was going very smoothly. Although it was still not completed, it could already be put into preliminary use.

This news also made Ying Zheng excited, because he received news from many county guards at the same time, reporting to him the benefits that these water conservancy projects could bring to Qin.

Because he was too excited, Ying Zheng specially named Chen Xue and Zheng Guo as "Shanhe Marquis" and "Guannei Marquis". Of course, at this time, the Marquises who were granted the title no longer had "fiefs", but only some "food towns", similar to a With fame, you can only get money.

But Chen Xue and Zheng Guo were already very satisfied, because they didn't have that much thought, they just wanted to do what they wanted to do.

Even if there is no reward, they are willing.

When the Qin State's national power was completely restored, the Qin State's court began to boil without Ying Zheng raising the issue in the court.

Wang Jian, Li Mu, Li Xin, Meng Yu, Meng Wu, Wang Bi, Chen Zan and many other generals were all excited to propose the restart of the war against the country. Although Wang Jian, Li Mu and Meng Yu among them had many military exploits, But they all lacked a military merit sufficient to "become a lord".

Such as destroying a country.

There are still six of these famous generals who have not been granted the title of marquis, but only three countries have not been destroyed. It is destined that some of them will not be able to be granted the title of marquis due to the destruction of the country.

Can.

After the world is unified, will they still have such great military achievements that they can be granted the title of marquis?

Therefore, a seemingly important matter like destroying the country turned out to be a military merit that these people in the court were competing for.

Since the war of conquering the country started again, Ying Zheng's greatest pleasure every day is to sit there and watch the battles between several generals.

On this day, as usual, several generals were arguing about which country should be conquered and who should conquer the country. Just when people in the court thought that this time the dispute over the conquering of the country would once again end, a man stood up. come out.

A person that no one thought of.

Right Prime Minister, Chen Zhong.

Chen Zhong stood in the center of the hall, with a somewhat peaceful look on his face: "I am reporting this to your Majesty, I think I am going to attack Yan."

He said softly: "Qin has an alliance with Chu, so they are not allowed to attack. Therefore, there are only two targets left that can be attacked, one is Qi and the other is Yan."

"Prince Dan of Yan seems to be very close to the Mo family's rangers. I am worried that they will take advantage of this matter to do some evil things."

"Therefore, attacking Yan State first is the best choice."

Chen Zan also took a step forward at this time. He didn't have to compete because he was already the "Wu'an Lord", so he must be the chief general. What the rest of the people were fighting for was just the position of deputy general.

He raised his head: "I also agree with what the right prime minister said."

Ying Zheng looked at the many ministers who were quiet in the audience and chuckled: "In that case, then let's attack Yan."

His voice was relaxed, as if attacking Yan State was no big deal.

"The order of Chuan Gu is to take Wu'an Lord Chen Zan as the chief general and Shangqing Wang Jian as the deputy general, and choose a day to attack Yan!"

The young man issued his order in the court, and this huge and towering country began to slowly rotate like a war machine.

Somewhere in the harem, in the palace

A white-faced but very strong man with a beardless face sneaked into a certain palace, looking very strange.

This is where Qin Wangzheng’s mother lived.

This man is called "Lao Ai".

History is always like an invincible little beast, always moving forward stubbornly in certain places.

Just as Chen changed history bit by bit, history is also corrected bit by bit. When a certain "hole" is too big to be repaired by history, history will completely deviate from the established track.

PS: Today is a bit slow, so I will take a third of the week off. There will be no rest tomorrow.

Another 8,000 will be updated tomorrow.

Also, this volume is coming to an end. Guess, everyone, at what point will this volume end?
