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

Chapter 80 The roaring east wind [First update, please collect and read]

Both of them had bitterness in their eyes. What else didn't they understand now that things had happened?

King Ba let out a long sigh, with a hint of ambiguity in his tone: "Back then, I shouldn't have accepted Qin's help. Otherwise, how could we have fallen to where we are now?"

The King of Shu glanced sideways at King Ba with disdain on his face: "Shouldn't you accept Qin's help?"

"If we had not accepted Qin's help at that time, I am afraid that we would have been destroyed by Rong Di's attack. If the country did not exist, would you and I have been able to live happily for so many years?"

King Shu was smarter than King Ba: "If we really want to blame, we should not blame those who helped us, but should blame this ruthless world."

"There are disputes in the world, and the great powers of the countries. You and I, Bashu, have occupied this fertile land. We have occupied this great location but the country is not strong and strong, and we cannot compete for any ambition in the world. This is the biggest sin."

He stood up and adjusted his robes to make himself look more "proper".

Looking at the mountains and the stretching land in the distance: "I have already sent a letter to Mr. Zhang Yi, asking Mr. Zhang Yi to convey my respect to the King of Qin and express my desire to go to Xianyang to meet the King of Qin."

"Do you want to go with me?"

Ba Wang’s face was cold, but his words were very soft: “Go.”

"The current plan is, apart from annexing the country to the Qin State in order to seek the position of king, what else can we do?"

"If you don't do this, Rong Di will be advantaged."

"Isn't the hatred between you and me and Rong Di greater than the hatred between you and Qin?"

"The State of Qin has gained a reputation for benevolence and righteousness in recent years. You and I will help the State of Qin!"

King Ba and King Shu looked at each other and saw deep helplessness in each other's eyes. This was indeed a helpless thing.

Qin State, Xianyang City.

Zhang Yi looked at the letter in his hand and laughed so loudly that he could hardly see his eyes. His laughter even spread outside the house.

Without even bothering to tidy up her clothes, Zhang Yi shouted loudly: "Prepare the car! Prepare the car!"

"I want to see your Majesty!"

Su Qin's mansion
  When Su Qin heard what Zhang Yi was proud of, he couldn't help but shook his head secretly. Looking at the various letters placed on the table in front of him, he pressed his forehead helplessly: "Zhang Yi got the better of him."

He understands.

What could make Zhang Yi so excited now? It's nothing more than the fact that Bashu's conspiracy is about to come true!
  And if this matter can be successful, Zhang Yi can use this contribution to grant another knighthood!
  This is a real military achievement!

Because it can be said that the land of Bashu was completely taken over by Zhang Yi alone!

Every year, Qin's resistance to Rong Di's army is another matter. After all, even if there is no incident in Bashu, Qin still has to plunder slaves, cattle, sheep, and horses from Rong Di.

This merit can be awarded to the thirteenth rank!

In an instant, Zhang Yi, the Shangqing, could live up to his name.

Su Qin stood up and looked in the distance. Various thoughts were surging in his heart. Now that Zhang Yi's matter was settled, he could also take this opportunity to make his plan take shape!

After all, the things the two of them planned were almost complementary to each other.

The peak of Qin's power is almost before our eyes!
  Chen Junfu

Chen Ye slowly put down the thing in his hand. This was a pottery cup that he had asked people to study before. He still liked this thing more than the bronze wine cup. After all, bronze is poisonous when used, not to mention that it is used every day. For eating.

He didn't want to die early or miserably due to heavy metal poisoning.

There are pieces of tea leaves floating in the cup. There are actually tea leaves at this time, but people don't know how to drink it yet. The most common way to use tea is to treat tea leaves as some kind of [vegetable] and make [soup].

It's a genuine [soup], because it requires salt, spices, and all kinds of messy things.

A wisp of fragrance slowly floated on the tip of his nose. Chen Ye took a slight sniff and said, "Not bad."

Opposite him, You Ning had a look of surprise on his face: "I didn't expect that what my husband said was true. This thing has such a fragrant smell?"

She sighed and said, "Send some of it to the palace, and let your Majesty have a taste."

Chen Ye nodded: "It's natural. After discovering this thing, I sent it to your Majesty. It's just that your Majesty doesn't like bitterness and feels that this thing is not as good as drinking alcohol."

There was a smile on his face: "As everyone knows, this bitter taste has a sweet aftertaste."

Chen Ye put down the cup in his hand: "You Ning, look."

"The east wind has begun to blow in the sky. Can Shen'er and Chen use this gust of east wind to keep the blue clouds above?"

You Ning was not surprised by her husband's words. She just said: "With Shen'er's talent, he will definitely be able to take advantage of the wind."

She looked at Chen Ye: "But, where are the other children?"

While packing up the things on the table, You Ning said half-complainingly: "Over the years, you have cared about Shen'er and Zhan'er, but you are just ordinary to Shou'er and An'er."

"They are all your children. You have to take care of them to some extent. Don't blame everything on me."

Chen Ye held You Ning's hand.

His marriage to You Ning was not because of so-called love, but because of marriage. Duke Xiao needed someone to win him over, and he also needed someone to marry him and appease Duke Xiao.

It's just that over the years, as he and You Ning got along, emotions naturally arose, and then brewed into this bottle of wine, which was as mellow and long as time.

"I've worked hard for you all these years."

Chen Ye said softly: "It is enough for the Chen family to have Shen'er holding up the lintel. Zhan'er can just let him go as he pleases. He always wants to gain credit immediately, so I will ask your Majesty to let him enlist in the army and seek a title."

"As for Shou'er and An'er, they will go to the Academy."

"After studying in the academy for a few years, if you want to start a family and start a career, if you have your own plans, I support it. If you don't have your own plans, then just keep it."

"Can't the current Chen family still afford these children?"

He tilted his head and looked at You Ning: "As Shen'er is the eldest son, this is naturally his unshirkable responsibility. He will be the one to decide the future of the Chen family. Why does he work so much for me, my father?"

You Ning helplessly patted Chen Ye's hand: "You——"

The two looked at each other with a smile on their faces.

Zhao Guo, a small town somewhere

The chariot moved slowly, smoke and dust rising behind it.

Chen Shen stood on the chariot, looking seriously in the distance.

He discovered that the outside world was different from the world he imagined. The outside world was cruel and turbulent.
  This is a world where people eat people.

Chen Shen sighed leisurely, holding the sword on his waist: "The world is like this, what can I do if I am sad?"
