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

Chapter 26 Huang Lao’s Learning [Second update, please collect and read]

Shang Yang raised his head, put down the cup in his hand, and looked at Chen Ye: "Yo? You kid doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Why do you have time to come to my place today?"

As he spoke, he suddenly came to his senses: "Does the prince's matter have anything to do with you?"

Chen Ye chuckled, sat next to Shang Yang, picked up the teapot, poured a glass of water and took a sip, then spit it out.

"Teacher, why do you drink such bland water?"

Shang Yang rolled his eyes, with a look of helplessness on his face, and pointed to the pot in the distance: "That one is the one for you, this one is the water that you put here for a while."

As he gets older, Shang Yang is gradually less able to drink water that is too hot, but sometimes he is anxious to drink water.

So I poured a lot of pots, and when I drank from them, I poured from them.

Chen Ye blinked and poured water from another cup while answering Shang Yang's question: "It does have something to do with me. I persuade the prince to look at it from a neutral perspective. After all, no qualified monarch will Participate in the struggle between ministers."

"This is indeed because the prince is too young, so Heijia and the others took advantage of it."

"But, the prince is smart, he reacted immediately when I gave him a little tap."

"This time, I not only refused to meet with them again, but also ruthlessly asked people in the palace to spread the news. If you say that there was no instruction from the prince, I don't believe it."

Shang Yang looked at Chen Ye and laughed dumbly: "You."

"It's just that if you do this, Heijia, Gongzi Qian and others will doubt you and target you."

"In this case, your purpose of escaping this political vortex will be put on hold."

There was some worry and concern in Shang Yang's eyes: "Is everything really okay?"

Chen Yimei felt warm, and then said very seriously: "Teacher, don't worry, I have already prepared for this."

"There is still time. When the time comes, I will leave this vortex."

A light flashed in his eyes: "Teacher, do you know the current situation in the world?"

Happening?

Shang Yang thought for a moment: "You mean, with the help of the king of Wei?"

"Nowadays, there is a lot of turmoil in the world. The king of Wei seems to have the intention of establishing himself as king. After all, this is probably the purpose of his campaigns in the past few years."

He looked at Chen Ye: "Do you want me to be king together at this time?"

Chen Ye shook his head: "Of course not."

"The most important thing for the Qin State now is to carry out reforms and then accumulate its own power. Only when the power reaches a certain level can it explode instantly. Only when the power reaches a certain level can the people of the world be unable to react. "

"not to mention"

Chen Ye smiled slightly, looking mysterious and unusual: "If you don't call yourself the king, you can do many things with the name of respecting the king and fighting off the barbarians, such as preparing to conquer Bashu, such as preparing to incorporate the Rong and Di into the Qin Dynasty!"

This is the most important thing for Da Qin!
  The reason why the later Qin State was so powerful was precisely because of the strategy proposed by Zhang Yi and the talents of Ying Si, who incorporated the land of Bashu into the territory of the Qin Dynasty and recaptured Rongdi during the period of Empress Dowager Xuan!
  This is what makes Qin so powerful that it can even go eastward.

Shang Yang also nodded slightly, but then he laughed: "It's still a long time before those things happen, don't call me me, even you may not be able to wait until that time, right?"

He sighed: "Life is only fifty years in this world, and now I'm almost done."

"On your side, it's still a long time."

Shang Yang said interestingly: "Now that you have become a Sikou and the prince's chief servant, aren't you ready to start a family? If there is someone you like, just send someone to hire him. With your current status, even if you are The legitimate daughter of a noble family is also worthy of it."

Chen Ye shook his head slightly, already having a goal in mind. "Teacher, my wife will definitely not be a noble, or even a bureaucrat."

He was making the most elaborate plan in his mind: "When marrying a wife, I should marry a virtuous woman. I will probably look for a woman from a scholarly family, well-educated, considerate, and kind-hearted. After I have a legitimate son, I will consider other options."

Shang Yang also nodded slightly when he heard this.

He felt that Chen Ye's plan was very correct. Chen Ye's current accumulation was still a little behind. If he accumulated more, he would be able to let himself go more or less.

Chen Ye changed the topic and looked at Shang Yang: "There may be rumors recently that the prince favors Huang Lao's theory. Teacher, you don't need to care about it, and you don't need to think about it."

Huang Lao theory?
  Although Shang Yang didn't know what was going on, he could vaguely guess that it was related to Chen Ye's plan, and he immediately laughed: "Okay, I understand."

"You can rest assured."

Chen Ye felt relieved and discussed some interesting things with Shang Yang, such as some miscellaneous notes and some travel notes.

The two of them almost never discuss government affairs when they are together, because they both know that although they look somewhat similar, there must be differences in their political concepts, and even some "different ways". .

Palace
  Ying Si took the bamboo slip in his hand and looked at it little by little. On it was the Tao Te Ching. He savored Huang Lao's teachings with relish.

"What Lao Dan said is indeed interesting."

He rolled up the bamboo slips, and then sighed: "Perhaps, I won't need to read Lao Dan's teachings in the future, but now when I am the prince, I must read it."

Ying Si closed his eyes and said silently: "Treat by doing nothing, cure by doing nothing."

"Pfft."

"Isn't it just these four words: it has nothing to do with me?"

Ying Si slowly experienced the change in his mood. This change in attitude clearly affected his mental state and perspective on things.

And Ying Si felt changed.

It's such a great feeling!

For a moment, he felt that he had changed from a chess piece on the chessboard to a bystander watching the two players fighting at the chessboard.

Ying Si's ambition is just around the corner.

He wanted to be one of the players holding the chess pieces, and control the chess pieces below to continue fighting.

This is the king's instinct.

Hei Jia hurriedly walked into Gongzi Qian's mansion, with a flash of joy in his eyes: "Young Master, what I guessed is indeed correct."

"The prince did not side with Shang Yang, but gradually fell in love with Lao Dan's theory."

What did Lao Dan say? Rule by doing nothing?

Young Master Qian frowned slightly, but then relaxed his brows, no matter it was Lao Dan's theory or something else, as long as it was not Legalist theory.

He didn't want the prince to side with the Legalists. Wouldn't that mean he sided with Shang Yang?

Thinking like this, Gongzi Qiancai said: "Forget it, let's stop for the time being, but we must always prepare evidence."

"I think this knife might be useful at any time."
