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

Chapter 79 "Chen Shen" [Second update, please collect]

Ying Si helplessly held his forehead and sighed.

Of course, he believed that his teacher's last words were true, and he must have some revenge, but what he believed more was what Chen Ye said before.

Chen Ye was afraid that he would not survive until that time.

He looked at Chen Ye's back with regret and sorrow in his eyes. The teacher was now in his forties, old enough to call himself "old man".

"I hope the teacher can take good care of his body. How can Qin country not have a teacher?"

Not only him, but the entire Qin State has become accustomed to Chen Ye's presence.

Chen Ye's existence may not be like a blazing fire like Shang Yang, as dazzling, bright and violent, but Chen Ye's importance will definitely not be lost to Shang Yang, or even more important than Shang Yang.

This is what Qin Xiaogong said while holding Ying Si's hand before he died.

Ying Si recalled that day in his mind.

That night it was stormy and he was summoned to the hall by his father in advance. His father held his hand and explained everything word by word.

They talked for a total of two hours, of which they talked about Chen Ye for a full hour and a half.

Ying Si looked at the chessboard in front of him with an incomprehensible expression. In fact, it was only from that night that he realized how much his teacher had done silently.

From the reform to the academy, from Shang Yang's many disciples to the general trend of the world among the countries, from people's livelihood to legal principles, it seems that there is nothing that my teacher does not understand, and there seems to be nothing that my teacher cannot do.

The state of Qin has changed now. Shang Yang has three successes, his father Xiaogong has two successes, and the remaining five successes are all his teacher's!
  Subtle changes are the biggest and scariest changes.

Thinking of this, Ying Si touched his forehead again: "But that boy Shen seems to have learned a lot from the teacher. Even the teacher gave Shen'er all the works he has learned throughout his life. No matter how much Shen'er can learn, It’s all a blessing to Qin.”

He couldn't help but sigh with sincerity: "Why can't Teacher live forever?"

Chen Junfu

study
  Chen Shen sat in front of Chen Ye. There was a piece of silk in front of the two of them. There was something densely written on the silk. If you look closely, it turned out to be something similar to a paper.

Chen Ye smiled slightly, looked at the confused Chen Shen and said, "Shen'er, you first studied with Shang Jun for one year, then studied with Meng Ke for one year, and then studied with Su Qin and Zhang Yi for half a year. The year and a half is what I promised you."

"Now you are sixteen years old!"

"Children of ordinary families have already married and started a career at this age, but I still restrict you. Do you feel dissatisfied and bored?"

Chen Shen was sitting there. His body was now eight feet three (191) tall, and he looked like a giant.

He said respectfully: "I know that my father will not harm me, so I won't feel anything."

Chen Shen's voice was very gentle, completely different from Chen Ye's.

Chen Ye's voice was clear, like a clear spring, tinkling on the ground, while Chen Shen's voice was soft, like the spring wind, blowing in the breeze.

He looked at his father and said, "Father, are you calling me here today for something important?"

Chen Ye pointed to the silk on the table and said, "It's nothing particularly important, just to test what you have learned."

He looked at Chen Shen and said, "This volume was written by me. I will give you one and a half hours to answer."

"If you can pass, then I will allow you to travel around the country in six months without any further obstruction."

"If you fail to pass, then it means that what you have learned has not been accomplished and you have not reached the stage of practice, so there is no need to go out again."

"Just stay with me and your mother!" Chen Shen raised his head, with surprise in his eyes. At this time, he looked like a half-grown boy: "Do you agree with me traveling around the world?"

Chen Ye sighed with emotion: "I never thought of stopping you. After all, you are a man, how can you be like a harem woman?"

"Which of the great talents in the world has not traveled around the world?"

He stood up and said with his hands behind his back: "Do it."

Chen Shen was pleasantly surprised, but he did not take action immediately. Instead, he took a few deep breaths and controlled his emotions to a stable state before picking up the pen in his hand.

The many questions on the silk went from shallow to deep. At the end, Chen Shen felt that beads of sweat were about to break out on his forehead.

The wind continued to blow outside, and Chen Ye looked at the vastness in the distance.

As a parent, you should always think deeply about your children.

What's more, his eldest son?
  He will inherit the Chen family in the future. How can such a child be safe and sound and never see the wind and rain?
  An hour and a half later.

Chen Shen walked to Chen Ye with silk in his hand, lowered his head, and said with respect in his voice: "Father, the child is finished."

Chen Ye took the scroll and did not unfold it. Instead, he said: "Okay."

"Go to your mother. Your mother misses you."

Chen Shen didn't ask any more questions, turned around and walked towards the courtyard. After Chen Shen left, Chen Ye just stood in the wind and unfolded the silk in his hand.

The dense handwriting comes into view. Although some of the opinions are a little childish, Chen Shen's character can be clearly seen.

If you want to use something in this world as an example to compare to Chen Shen, then the best analogy is the pines and cypresses standing proudly in the winter snow. And what is written on this silk is whether it is the policy of governing the country or the response. Chen Shen's talent can be seen in people's policies or military policies.

"When your children grow up, you always have to let them go."

In the eighth year of King Huiwen, spring.

Xianyang City

Chen Shen stood on the chariot, followed by his servants, guards, and a large number of people heading toward Wei, the country closest to Qin.

He completed Chen Ye's test half a year ago and was allowed to travel around the world by Chen Ye. However, before traveling around the world, he needed to study in Xianyang Academy for half a year, and now half a year has passed.

Chen Shen is seventeen years old.

He had three years to travel around the country to perfect what he had learned in his heart.

At the gate of the city, Chen Ye looked at Chen Shen's leaving figure, feeling extremely melancholy and complicated in his heart.

The second generation of the Chen family finally entered the stage of history.

The era that belongs to Chen Shen begins on this ordinary day.

Before that, more glory still belonged to his father.

Ba, Shu
  King Ba and King Shu looked at each other and saw exhaustion, helplessness and pain in each other's eyes: "Can we survive the war that has lasted for many years?"

"In the past few years, once Qin's army leaves, the defeated Rong Di will come again."

"How many more years can we hold on?"
