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

Chapter 210: Man can conquer nature [st update, please subscribe]

The two looked at each other, Chen Zheng's expression remained unchanged. He looked at Ying Zheng and faced his doubts and doubts and said: "Your Majesty, I have no objections to your Majesty."

His voice was soft: "Your achievements are indeed unprecedented in all eternity, so it is reasonable for you to want to be enshrined in Mount Tai."

"Why do you object?"

Chen Zheng's expression was also very peaceful: "I have no fundamental conflict with His Majesty. We both want to make Da Qin better and make Da Qin's Guizhou better, don't we?"

Ying Zheng chuckled. He looked at Chen Zheng and shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "I have never doubted you."

He said with emotion: "Even if I doubt anyone in this court, I have never doubted you."

"The character of the Chen family is worthy of trust."

He stood up, turned his back to Chen Zheng, and whispered: "I also know why you are against me. Our purpose is the same, but Chen Zheng."

Ying Zheng's voice became serious for the first time: "I hope you can understand that this world belongs to the Ying family, not to your Chen family. It is not anyone else's turn to dictate what I want to do."

Ying Zheng turned his head, stared at Chen Zheng, and said with a solemn tone in his voice: "Do you have to argue with me at this time?"

At this time, he forcibly stopped Ying Zheng from taking the pills, but a big problem was that the pills that Ying Zheng took were different from the pills that he took.

It's almost like an ultimatum.

Even so, the First Emperor had the upper hand.

In the later Wei and Jin Dynasties, the elixir taken by Ying Zheng had a more resounding reputation. It was a medicine known to almost all celebrities, called "Han Shi Powder".

Ying Zheng sighed and said: "Let's discuss with the Confucian people about the ceremony of offering sacrifices to Zen in Mount Tai. This has never happened before, so naturally it must be done to the "extreme". I don't want future generations to laugh at me for doing this. A gift of Zen."

And Zhao Ji knew this news under some secret circumstances. When she gave birth to Ying Zheng, Zi Chu happened to leave the country of Zhao, so Zhao Ji desperately wanted to have some "connection" between Ying Zheng and Zi Chu. This connection would be It's "Elixir".

The stupid Zhao Ji thought that this elixir was good for the human body, so she kept forcing Ying Zheng to take it.

However, Chen Zheng stood behind Ying Zheng at this time, and the contradiction in their personalities was completely exposed at this time.

After a moment, he shook his head slightly and left with a tired and complicated look on his face.

"For this purpose, Chen Zheng can do many things, and he can also be "rebellious"."

Of course, the effect of "Han Shi Powder" in the pre-Qin period was not that powerful, and the withdrawal reaction was not that difficult. Ying Zheng was an emperor throughout the ages, so under strong mental control, he completely quit "Han Shi Powder" ".

"Why do you have to be so anxious?"

Chen Zheng raised his head and looked into Ying Zheng's eyes, with a slightly calm look in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the conflict between you and me has already reached a certain level, hasn't it? But these can all be reconciled. "

Therefore, the "First Emperor" is not fighting against the Chen family and Chen Zheng, but against everyone and all forces in the world.

This is completely different from the elixirs taken by his father, Prince Chu of Qin and now the Emperor of Gao, but they have the same effect and can refresh and invigorate people's spirits.

To be precise, what Ying Zheng took could no longer be considered a pill.

After Chen Zheng left, a look of exhaustion suddenly appeared on Ying Zheng's face. Didn't he know that being so eager would lead to waste in haste?

But he really doesn't have much time.

Zi Chu was weak when he was born and was not loved by King Xiaowen, so in order to keep her child alive, Xia Ji made her child take pills sent by the Chu State alchemists all year round.

But under the fingers of fate and destiny, this trajectory will eventually coincide with the original destiny, even if this so-called destiny consumes more time and strength.

As early as when history was changed, everything went on another track again.

He said silently: "What Chen wants is a clear conscience, and Chen Zheng's clear conscience means that the capital of Guizhou in the world can live a peaceful life safely and happily."

Chen Zheng didn't understand. In fact, Chen Zheng was not the only one who didn't understand Ying Zheng's anxiety. Few people in the court could understand.

He changed the topic back: "These are not things you need to worry about."

His body needs to start taking "dan pills" again to warm and nourish the body, but even so, his body is still in deficit.

Yes.

The lofty First Emperor Ying Zheng was just a "person" no matter what. Being a "person" means that humans have the seven emotions and six desires that humans have, and they have a body that can be damaged.

"But even if I am the so-called emperor of the ages, even if I am the so-called First Emperor, even if I am the ancestral dragon among the people in the world, what can I do when faced with the normal state of human life and death?"

Chen Zheng stood there, staring blankly at Ying Zheng's back.

He said softly: "I am just an ordinary person."

But his childhood experiences also left hidden dangers in Ying Zheng's body.

Ying Zheng let out a long sigh, touched the map with his hand, and said quietly: "Both Chen Zheng and Fu Su feel that I am omnipotent."

This is also the reason why Chen Zheng can still oppose "Ying Zheng" today. The Chen family's power is too huge, and many other forces are mixed together, and even the people in the clan do not support Ying Zheng.

Hanshi Powder can invigorate people's spirits and make them feel as if they are traveling in the "void" as the Taoists call it.

He touched his hand to his heart, then took out a small bottle from his sleeve and put the "Elixir Pill" in it into his mouth.

"Your Majesty, the world is not a world for one family, but a world for everyone."

By the time Zi Chu discovered this, Ying Zheng had been taking pills for four or five years.

Before he ascended the throne, Zi Chu asked the imperial physician Ling to examine his body. Nothing was found that day. However, a few days ago, the most trusted imperial physician around him, "Xia Wuji", prescribed "Xia Wuji" for him. The "warming and nourishing" medicine gave Ying Zheng an unprecedented reaction.

That was something that no one knew, except Xia Wuji and Ying Zheng.

This is the First Emperor.

Ying Zheng was silent for a long time and did not answer Chen Zheng's doubts. He just stood there with his hands behind his back and said softly: "Of course I have my reasons."

Ying Zheng shook his head and said nothing.

He also has problems that he can't solve.

The biggest problem between him and Chen Zheng is actually not that the two people have different opinions, nor is it that they dislike each other.

The biggest problem is: Chen Zheng thinks he is omnipotent, but Ying Zheng is not omnipotent.

Chen Zheng made a mistake, which is a normal thing for him as a human being.

He felt that many things just needed to be raised. The great emperor Shi Huangdi would definitely be able to come up with solutions, but the problem was that Ying Zheng couldn't.

Peach Blossom Spring

Chen Ye looked at the outside world with a slightly complicated expression. Chen Zheng made the same mistake as Fusu in the original history.

He thought "Ying Zheng" was omnipotent.

In the original trajectory, Fusu was just such a person. Now, although Fusu has not grown into such a person and has not shown his stubbornness for the time being, fate has found a suitable substitute to replace Fusu.

That is Chen Zheng. Chen Ye sat in the peach blossom garden, raised his head and looked at the ethereal sky.

Is this "destiny"?

Chen Ye raised a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.

He whispered: "Destiny is ruthless and seems to be able to decide everything."

"But I always believe that man can conquer nature!"

Yes!

Chen Ye firmly believes that man can conquer nature.

Everyone in the Chen family also believes that man can conquer nature. This is why they have devoted themselves to history, even if they know that the path forward for change may be set right again by the big hand of history, but they still have no hesitation.

They always believe that man can conquer nature!

One day, Chen will be able to change that illusory history.

In the end, all regrets can be saved.

The mighty China has lasted for five thousand years, and talents have emerged from generation to generation.

The spring of the fifth year of the First Emperor arrived in people's expectation. The Baiyue battlefield and the Xiongnu battlefield were still going on, like two meat grinders, devouring the people of Great Qin.

but.

One thing that people didn't expect was that even though the two meat grinders were still rotating, they did not have much impact on Qin.

The Qin State was still strong, and even "sprouted" again, growing new flesh and blood.

This is because of the "Qin Code" revised by left prime minister Chen Zheng.

The newly revised Qin Code condoned some unimportant sins and once again restricted some punishments involving the body.

These cruel criminal laws will only target some special "crimes" in the future, such as murder, killing cattle, rebellion, etc. This revision of the law gave the people of Qin a chance to breathe.

The second is the reward for giving birth.

Chen Zheng, Ying Zheng, and many court officials knew that if they wanted to realize Ying Zheng's plan, they must promote people's fertility and allow a new generation to be born in a new era, so they increased rewards in this regard.

For every person who gives birth to a child, not only can they get a reward of one acre of land, but they can also receive five stones of food every year.

And it can be received from the time this population is born.

Newborns often cannot eat that much and only consume breast milk or goat's milk, so these five stones of food are a huge incentive.

The summer of the fifth year of the First Emperor came in an instant. Confucianism and Chen Zheng finally discussed a suitable set of sacrificial rituals. In the summer of this year, after several months of debate, the First Emperor and the Qin courtiers finally decided Something happened.

Taishan Fengchan!

When this news came out, many people around the world were shocked and at the same time felt that it was a bit natural.

If the First Emperor is not qualified to be enshrined in Mount Tai, then who else is qualified?

It is precisely because of this that when the First Emperor went on tour, there were not so many people in the world who opposed him. Only some nobles hiding in the mountains and forests were against Ying Zheng.

This is inevitable.

Immediately after the unification, Ying Zheng raised the butcher knife in his hand and aimed it at these nobles.

In the admonitions and teachings of Chen and others, he understood one truth better than in the original history, that is, the world is composed of individual heads of Guizhou, not the nobles. Even if they are given superior treatment to those nobles, Nor could they stop opposing Qin's rule.

Because those nobles may originally be one person above ten thousand people, or there may even be no one above them. No matter how much he gives, it may not be as much as these people originally gave.

And giving them preferential treatment will only make the world's leaders of Guizhou feel miserable and the people of Lao Qin feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, when dealing with these nobles, Ying Zheng was not merciful at all. It was precisely for this reason that some nobles from the old lands of the Six Kingdoms fled to the mountains with their servants, soldiers and others.

At this time, the shortcomings of the county system became apparent.

The county guards and county magistrates all have very friendly relations with these nobles. They will not really "report" the locations where these people are hiding, nor will they really "hunt" these people, so These people did not have great difficulty in escaping.

And Ying Zheng knows all this.

But Ying Zheng didn't have a suitable solution.

Does he have enough manpower to replace these governors and magistrates to govern the world? No.

Although Xianyang Academy is producing talents, the number of talents it produces cannot keep up with the expansion of Qin. Qin's territory is too large, which is the biggest problem.

It is not just a problem of the Qin Dynasty, but a problem of every era.

Zhuhua and Zhuxia are so big!

Therefore, a lot of manpower is needed, and the national conditions of Zhuhua and Xia symbolize the existence of "blood" and "human feelings".

Especially at this time, books had not yet become popular. Which of those literate people was not related to the "nobles"?

Can you really hunt down and kill your third uncle's youngest son?

Or can you be loyal and report your nephew for the emperor?

Or can you carry the head of the third grandfather in your clan to receive the reward?

Maybe you can do it, but do you still want to be a human being?

At the foot of Mount Tai

Ying Zheng was sitting on the chariot and horse, while Chen Zheng, Li Si, and Han Fei, who were on the chariot and horse beside them, were seizing the time to deal with government affairs from Xianyang City.

Several people's heads felt like they had a headache.

These were originally handled by Ying Zheng, but now Ying Zheng is starting to be lazy!

Ying Zheng held his head, his body swaying with the sway of the carriage and horses. He looked ahead, thinking in his heart whether it was appropriate to let Fusu, the boy, supervise the country.

But in an instant he was no longer worried.

After all, he issued an edict asking Chen Su to go to Xianyang City to take care of him temporarily, but what about the affairs of Chen's family?

Ying Zheng chuckled, then he couldn't control it.

I hope Chen Su can travel thousands of miles and handle the affairs of the court and the Chen family well.

Time passed by, and in an instant we were at the foot of Mount Tai.

At this time, there were some dark clouds gathering in the sky.

A steady stream of rain seemed to be falling, and there was a faint sound of thunder in the sky.
