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

Chapter 52 Can you be king? [Second update, please collect and read]

This is a fact that cannot be questioned by anyone.

Therefore, with the acquiescence of almost all Central Plains countries, the alliance is making preparations in an orderly manner.
  And the kings of various countries also expressed that they would participate in this alliance.

This news made Qin Xiaogong even more excited. He could hardly sleep all night because he discovered an amazing fact.

The countries participating in this alliance can almost be regarded as powerful countries that can determine the world.

If we can sign an alliance in this alliance meeting and become the lord of the princes, then won't Qin become a well-deserved overlord?
  When he thought of this, Qin Xiaogong found it even more difficult to sleep peacefully every night.

In the ninth year of Qin Xiaogong's reign, it was summer.

Chen Ye returned to Yueyang City, and the first thing he did when he returned to Yueyang City was that he was summoned to the palace by Qin Xiaogong.

Shang Yang was still sitting next to Qin Xiaogong. Shang Yang also had a little smile on his cheek like Qin Xiaogong, but it was more restrained than the smile on Qin Xiaogong's face.

"Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission."

Chen Ye raised his head and looked at Qin Xiaogong who was sitting there and couldn't help but stood up, his voice was low and powerful.

Qin Xiaogong was even more proud. He stepped forward and took Chen Ye's hands, and said with emotion: "Why is Chen Qing so polite?"

"How can the friendship between you and me be obscured by etiquette?"

He looked at Chen Ye with burning eyes: "I have decided to make you king, but you have a fiefdom in mind?"

This is a rare reward that actually allows the recipient to choose the fiefdom themselves!

Chen Ye hesitated for a moment, then spoke directly. This time he did not refuse: "In this case, I will no longer be polite to you."

There was a look of nostalgia on his face: "Your Majesty also knows that my hometown is [Chen]. In the past, my father once said that if one day I am rewarded for my merits, I must choose this place."

"These were my father's last words."

Chen Ye bowed his waist slightly and looked at Qin Xiaogong: "I hope your Majesty will fulfill my wish."

Chen Di?

Qin Xiaogong was slightly stunned. Chendi was not a prosperous place, and was even a little barren. How could such a place give him such a great hero?
  But thinking about what Chen Ye just said, these were his late father's last words.

This again involves filial piety.

At this time, many considerations were wandering in Qin Xiaogong's mind. In fact, he also had the attitude of "buying horse bones for a thousand gold".

A king never has any inexplicable kindness unless he wants to do something with it.

The fact that no one in the court fought before deeply hurt Qin Xiaogong. He wanted to use Chen Ye's contribution to reward him generously, so that those who were hidden in Qin or who had not yet appeared would have a template. .

Do you want to be crowned king? Do you want to gain a title and wealth?
  Learn from Chen Ye!
  Build your foundation with military exploits!
  At this time, Shang Yang spoke slowly, with a slightly calm voice: "Your Majesty, are you worried that the land where the reward is granted is too barren, causing the world to complain?"

He blinked, looked at the apprentice behind him and then at Qin Xiaogong: "I have a perfect plan."

"I just don't know if your Majesty is willing to part with it."

A surefire solution?

Qin Xiaogong quickly looked at Shang Yang and asked in a low voice: "What is the plan?"

Shang Yang smiled slightly and touched his beard: "Chen Sikou is past the age of a weak man, but he still has no wife."

"If your Majesty is willing, why not marry Chen Sikou and let the princess marry him?"

"At this time, Chen Sikou's crowning ceremony is approaching. If you can crown him personally, wouldn't it be a great honor and reward?"

When Qin Xiaogong suddenly heard this, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

In his heart, he thought that he was indeed his confidant!

If there is one thing that Duke Xiao of Qin wants to do most, it must be to tie Chen Ye to a chariot of Qin!
  And what can bind a person most? It's blood!
  Immediately he laughed loudly: "I have five daughters, all of whom are of heavenly beauty and national beauty."

"If Chen Yeqian has this intention, you can choose it at will!"

Chen Zhiyi was moved. He had no particular resistance to things like marriage, so he happened to take this opportunity to take another step forward in Qin. Dangjiang said: "How dare I choose a princess?"

"I would be honored to be granted marriage by your Majesty."

Qin Xiaogong looked at Chen Ye, who was about to become his son-in-law, with a smile, and the smile on his face became more relaxed and natural.

How can we not be happy when we become a family?
  "Hahahahahahaha, good, good! This is such a great joy!"

Shang Yang joined in and said, "Your Majesty, this is the third great joy."

"Congratulations on your victory over the allied forces. This is the first joy. Congratulations on your son-in-law. This is the second joy. Congratulations on your victory. This is the third joy!"

"Three blessings are coming on the same day. Isn't this an auspicious sign that our Great Qin is about to rise?"

Shang Yang's words made Duke Xiao of Qin burst into laughter, with excitement on his face.

"it is good!"

"The matter is settled! Choose a good and auspicious day, and I will crown you and officiate in marriage!"

The news that Qin Xiaogong granted Chen Ye the title of Chen Ye and married the princess instantly spread throughout Liyang City, which has always been a gathering place for gossip.

Everyone looked at the man in the wine shop eagerly, expecting him to say more.

As they listened, the hearts of these enthusiastic young people began to surge.

Chen Sikou received numerous rewards for his meritorious service, but what if they could also receive such a reward?
  Suddenly, the bellicose mood in the hearts of many citizens rose again.

They want to join the army! I want to get the Marquis Award!

Autumn, the ninth year of Duke Xiao of Qin.

Pingyang, the place where the alliance meets.

The night before the alliance meeting.

In the big tent, Qin Xiaogong, who was wearing only a few thin clothes, looked at Shang Yang and Chen Ye beside him. His expressions were hesitant, as if he had questions in his mind but didn't know whether to ask.

Both Shang Yang and Chen Ye saw his hesitant look, but both of them pretended not to see it.

Because they all know what Qin Xiaogong wants to ask.

After a while, it was Qin Xiaogong who couldn't help it anymore. He looked at Chen Ye and Shang Yang and asked the familiar question again.

"Can I be crowned king?"

"Can a humble man be crowned king?"

Shang Yang and Chen Ye were silent. Now that Qin had defeated the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces and was famous all over the world, Qin Xiaogong was even about to worry about the alliance becoming the overlord.

Moreover, Wei and Qi have already become kings.

Under such circumstances, can Qin and Qin Xiaogong be crowned kings?

the answer is negative.

Chen Ye raised his head, looked directly at Qin Xiaogong, and said two words that Qin Xiaogong was very familiar with.

"No."

Qin Xiaogong sighed helplessly, held his forehead and said, "I know better."

Shang Yang was curious: "Then why do you ask?"

Qin Xiaogong said with some resentment: "You have to give everything a try, right?"

“How will you succeed if you don’t try?”
