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

Chapter 29 Can a humble man be king? [First update, please collect and read]

Six months later, the alliance meeting was held.

This is huge news, and coupled with Qin Xiaogong's triumphant face, people feel like they want to share this joy with him.

Chen Ye said with a smile: "Your Majesty is so excited, it must be because this meeting went very smoothly?"

Qin Xiaogong raised his eyebrows, with a proud smile on his face: "That's natural."

"I originally thought that this meeting was going to be because of that thing's anger. Who would have thought that Mr. Wei just received a few compliments from me and then forgot about the southeast, northwest, and northwest."

"After that, I casually expressed my admiration for him, and he took advantage of the situation and expressed his desire to hold an alliance with the intention of becoming the overlord."

"I will take advantage of the situation. If a big country like Wei holds an alliance conference, Qin will definitely participate."

"He said a few words of support, but after a while the king of Wei followed suit and decided to announce his intention to become king at the alliance meeting."

If someone saw Qin Xiaogong's proud look at this time, they would probably laugh at him for not having the majesty of a king.

But at this moment, Qin Xiaogong really just wanted to laugh.

He shook his head and sighed: "Actually, I can understand King Wei. After all, how many people in this world don't want to be king?"

"Even the kings of those small countries want to be kings, right?"

Of course, except for the Chu State, which originally claimed to be "I am a barbarian", no one has dared to do such a thing yet. After all, in the Central Plains countries, everyone still wants to be shameless. If no one takes the lead, it is difficult for anyone to really be the first. Stand up.

He stood up and shouted to the Zhou royal family: "I want to be king!"

Now that one person has finally made a start, the others are getting ready to take action.

This includes Qin Xiaogong who seems to be showing off, but is actually secretly asking for the opinions of his two humerus ministers.

Qin Xiaogong said, feeling proud and secretly observing Shang Yang and Chen Ye.

And what about Chen Ye and Shang Yang?
  Sitting there silently, pretending to be stupid, pretending that he didn't see anything or hear anything.

The other one was praising Qin Xiaogong and his language art with a serious look on his face.

All in all, the two of them didn't talk to each other.

Qin Xiaogong sighed helplessly, stopped showing off, held his forehead and said, "You all understand the meaning of my words, why are you pretending to be stupid?"

"Then I'd better ask directly."

Duke Xiao of Qin first looked at Shang Yang and asked, "Shang Qing, can I claim the title of king at this time?"

Shang Yang was silent for a moment. After a while, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Your Majesty, you cannot be king at this time."

"Being king will become a thorn in the eyes of all countries."

Qin Xiaogong was silent again. For him, he did know the disadvantages of doing this, but he still thought about it in his heart.

I want to be the first king of Qin.

So, he turned to look at Chen Ye, hoping to get Chen Ye's support: "Chen Qing, can I be the king?"

Chen Ye was silent at first, and then said: "If your Majesty wants to become king, of course I will be the first to support it."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Xiaogong's expression suddenly became a little more joyful, and Shang Yang looked at Chen Ye with some confusion. When he was about to say something, Chen Ye continued to speak, but what he said made Qin Xiaogong's My heart went cold.

"As long as your Majesty is willing to give up on the new legal changes, it will finally bring about great results."

"As long as your Majesty is willing to give up the life that has just improved in Qin."

"As long as your Majesty is willing to give up the hope of leaving the east."

"As long as your Majesty is willing to give up the great wish of all the kings of the Qin Kingdom to unify the world." "As long as your Majesty is willing to stay in Qin, a remote Western barbarian land, and huddle here honestly."

"As long as your Majesty is willing to be criticized and looked down upon by others, Qin will always be considered a barbarian by everyone."

Chen Ye's words were very cold, but his voice was very gentle, as if he was speaking to his lover.

Every word he said reached Qin Xiaogong's heart, and touched the softest, most painful, and most unwilling piece of flesh in Qin Xiaogong's heart.

Qin Xiaogong lowered his eyes, like eggplants beaten by frost.

He whispered: "Of course I am not willing to give up."

Qin's desire to go east was the wish of kings of all dynasties. Qin has wanted to get rid of the so-called "Western Barbarians" for a long time, and Qin's current situation is caused by the new law and reforms. How could Qin Xiaogong not know about this reform? How difficult would it be to do it again?

If the new law fails at this time, it will only be more difficult to implement the new law than it is now.

Because those old nobles will encroach on the rights, wealth, and status of this part, when the law is reformed again, things will not be that simple.

The old nobles are also in the process of growing up.

Qin Xiaogong stood up neatly, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the sky outside the window: "Isn't there something I can do?"

Shang Yang and Chen Ye walked behind him. Shang Yang whispered: "Your Majesty, there is really no way."

"If the king of Wei can become king now, then the eyes of the people of the world will definitely be on him, and his becoming king will definitely bring more disputes to him. The greatest development of Qin will be when the world is in turmoil. Good times.”

"At that time, no one will notice the development of our Qin State, and by the time they notice, we have already developed."

"Then you won't have to be afraid anymore."

Qin Xiaogong lowered his head and told himself over and over again that this was right. Now the new law is at a critical moment. If he becomes king at this time, I am afraid that the eyes of everyone in the world will be drawn here.

How can Qin develop?
  "That's it."

He exhaled faintly: "It's just a nickname."

"Isn't there something missing if you don't become king?"

"The kings of the Qin Kingdom have sacrificed so much for the Qin Kingdom, and today it is my turn, Ying Quliang, to sacrifice myself!"

The matter of becoming king is indeed a huge temptation for everyone.

Chen Ye finally felt relieved when he saw Qin Xiaogong silently resisting this temptation.

He is changing some parts of history. What Chen Ye is worried about is not that history will be changed beyond recognition one day, but that the modified history will also be forcibly distorted.

For example, this time, the king of Wei was clearly asked to proclaim himself king in advance, but because Qin Xiaogong himself could not resist the temptation, he proclaimed himself king together with King Wei.

If this is the case, then Qin will definitely be attacked.

At that time, the achievements of Shang Yang's reform will be ruined.

It's almost as if this piece of history has been deleted, and it's useless to change it.

Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Gong.

Emperor Zhou was sitting in the main hall, with disheveled hair. He already knew about King Wei's preparations for the alliance meeting.

He couldn't help but laugh at himself: "Why do you need to tell me these things again?"

He doesn't even call himself one anymore.
