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

Chapter 7 Sitting and discussing [First update, please collect and read]

Qin Xiaogong looked at Chen Ye, who was slowly walking towards him, with a slightly calm expression.

Through inquiries from the guards and people around him, he knew a lot about Chen Ye. He also knew Chen Ye's talents and ambitions.

This meeting was just a meeting to get all the information through a clear path.

He raised his head and said softly: "Sit down."

Qin Xiaogong's voice was very soft, as if he were treating his own heirs, and Chen Ye was not polite at all, and just followed Qin Xiaogong's words and sat across from him.

"I have seen your Majesty."

In this era, the distinction between monarch and ministers was not so strict, so such a simple courtesy was in line with [etiquette].

Duke Xiao waved his hand nonchalantly: "No need to be polite."

He looked at Chen Ye and said directly without any concealment: "I actually know a lot about you."

"Including how you caught Shang Yang's eyes, including your ambitions and talents."

Qin Xiaogong's eyes were filled with peace and a little probing: "So I already know your talent, but what are you going to do in Great Qin with these talents?"

Chen Ye looked at Qin Xiaogong. He was not surprised that Qin Xiaogong knew everything about him.

He appeared beside Shang Yang inexplicably, and now he was accepted as a disciple by Shang Yang and introduced to him. How could he be secretly unaware of this?
  The new law is like a life-saving fire to the Qin State today, and one cannot be too careful.

During the silent time just now, he was just thinking about one question.

How should he convince this ambitious emperor who was embarking on reform and let him know that he was not a gift of [Shang Yang], but a great talent like Shang Yang.

After thinking for a while, Chen Ye raised his head and looked at Qin Xiaogong, his voice was very calm.

"Your Majesty, Duke Shang brought reforms to the Qin Dynasty and made the Qin Dynasty more powerful, but this kind of prosperity is the prosperity of the country."

"The common people know the power of the world, and the mistakes in vertical and horizontal directions make the world cross."

To put it simply, Chen Ye made a very clear distinction between himself and Shang Yang.

He boasted that he was a talented king and knew the general trend of the world. He said that Shang Yang's talent was to carry out reforms to make Qin strong, and he could make the King of Qin strong.

The two of them are on different tracks.

That's it.

Listening to Chen Ye's boast, Qin Xiaogong felt a little interesting in his heart. He turned his head and looked at Chen Ye: "Sir, he said he knows the general trend of the world and is unparalleled??"

He stood up, with a huge Kantu map hanging on the wall behind him.

The map depicts the current terrain of Qin and the directions of many surrounding countries: "Sir, please tell me what the current situation is like in the world."

Chen Ye also stood up, looked at the map of Kanyu in the distance, and said bit by bit: "The general trend of the world is that if it is divided for a long time, it will be united, and if it is united for a long time, it will be divided. Both the emperor and the other countries want to annex the other countries and unify them. The world’s thoughts just don’t have the power to complete it for the time being.”

He pointed to the state of Wei next to Qin and said: "Nowadays, the king of the state of Wei is still a [gong], but its power is strong and can be regarded as the first of all states. But because of this, the state of Wei must be the first country to decline. "

"It is located in the Central Plains. Its location is very special. It is also the land of the former Jin State that was divided between Zhao and Han. If Qin wants to go west and annex the world, Wei State cannot get around it."

Chen Ye analyzed calmly: "Qin is becoming stronger and stronger, and the other countries must have the intention to attack Qin."

"At this time, if you confuse Wei and become king, you can divert all conflicts and disasters eastward."

"And it can pave the way for the king of Qin to become king. The current power is powerless, and there are probably only seven people in the world who can be king."

"Beside Qi on the East China Sea, there are Han, Zhao and Wei in the Central Plains, Chu in the vast southern barbarian land, Yan in the bitter cold in the northern frontier, and our great Qin." Chen Ye's voice was full of confusion: "Cholera in the world will definitely start from these seven countries. "

"The final winner in the world will definitely be one of these seven countries, and I, Qin, will be the final winner!"

Qin Xiaogong's expression gradually changed. He looked at Chen Ye who was standing there talking eloquently, and his position towards Chen Ye also began to change.

At the beginning, he just wanted to train Chen Ye so that he could protect the Shang Yang clan in the end, even behind him. But now after listening to Chen Ye's words, he felt that this son's talent might not be inferior to that of Shang Yang. !
  Suddenly, a love for talent emerged in his heart.

If this son can be used by Great Qin, why worry about failing to accomplish great things?

"Then sir, if you want to dominate the world, what should Qin do?"

Chen Ye turned to look at Qin Xiaogong and said a few words slowly but firmly.

"Gather up food widely and become king slowly."

"Befriend far away and attack close by."

There were eleven words in total, but they fell on Qin Xiaogong's head like thunder. He was suddenly struck by lightning and kept repeating these eleven words in his mouth.

Accumulating food and slowly becoming king?

Friendship from afar and attack from near?
  Qin Xiaogong was not stupid, on the contrary, he was very smart. He followed Chen Ye's instructions and raised his head to look at the Kan map hanging on the wall. Suddenly, he felt that there seemed to be a blazing flame burning on the Kan map!

That is the fire of Qin's ambition to unify the world!

Qin Xiaogong turned around and looked at Chen Ye, who also had a firm look on his face. He couldn't help but sigh: "I almost missed out on such a great talent like you! It's really my fault! I hope you can forgive me."

The things and contents proposed by Chen Ye are different from those of Shang Yang.

The new method mentioned by Shang Yang needs to be implemented before the results can be seen, but the eleven words said by Chen Ye can clearly know its effect the moment you hear it.

What a blessing!

Even someone as calm as Qin Xiaogong could not help but raise his head and look at the sky in the distance. At this time, the sound of the chimes in the hall was still echoing in his ears.

What a blessing!

How could he acquire two such great talents in such a short period of time?
  He sighed in his heart, could it be that the will of his ancestors played a role in making the Qin Dynasty prosperous?
  Qin Xiaogong raised his head and looked at Chen Ye, and said directly before Chen Ye could speak: "I already know your talent."

"I would like to worship you as your prime minister and help our great Qin Dynasty prosper!"

Chen Ye shook his head slightly. He looked at Qin Xiaogong. Although he wanted that position very much, he knew clearly that now was not the time!
  "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to worship me as prime minister at this time."

His voice was calm.

"Now that the country is undergoing reform, if you suddenly worship me as prime minister, it will, on the one hand, easily shake Shang Gong's efforts and determination to carry out the reform, and on the other hand, it will easily stimulate the old nobles who are already frightened."

"By then, I'm afraid they will have to fight to the death."

"It is not conducive to the development of Qin."

Qin Xiaogong looked at Chen Ye with some pity: "It is a pity that Mr. Qin's talent is not the Prime Minister of Qin."

"It's just that since you don't want to do it, I respect your wishes."

After experiencing the baptism just now, Qin Xiaogong's attitude towards Chen Ye changed very obviously. He came forward, looked at Chen Ye and said, "What else can you teach me, sir?"
