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

Chapter 91 The third generation of the Chen family [Second update, please read and collect]

What Chen Ye said is the truth.

The reason why Zhang Yi and Su Qin have been relatively peaceful in the past two years is also because they know that most of their achievements are due to Qin's national strength.

Only by relying on a strong country can their "words" play their greatest role.

This is an unalterable fact.

Ying Si sighed quietly and said, "What the teacher said makes sense."

"I just always want to gain great strength in a peaceful state. It is best to be able to occupy the city without spending a single soldier."

He bowed his head.

In fact, during the years when Meng Ke, Mohist and other scholars stayed in Qin, Ying Si was more or less influenced by Meng Ke and Mohist.

He began to dislike unjust wars.

It's just that these effects were so subtle that neither he nor Chen Ye as usual noticed them.

Chen Ye shook his head and smiled: "Your Majesty, where can there be such a thing in this world that peace can annex all countries and obtain their national interests?"

He held a chess piece and placed it on the table in front of him.

"Today's world is like a chessboard filled with chess pieces. If you want to occupy the position of a chess piece, there is only one way."

Chen Ye picked up another chess piece, placed it on top of the chess piece, and then picked up the chess piece.

"That's swallowing other chess pieces."

"This process cannot remain peaceful forever, because when a strong enough country has a premonition that it is going to lose everything, it will definitely fight to the death."

"In such a situation, war is bound to happen."

"This can never be avoided."

Chen Ye's words were cruel, but this is the greatest truth in the world.

Ying Si quietly closed the affected part of his mind in the deepest part of his heart, just smiled, looked at the chessboard full of chess pieces and said, "The teacher is right, we still have to continue to prepare these years."

A dark light flashed across his eyes, and some emotions were hidden in them.

"Teacher, how long does it take for Qin to prepare?"

Chen Ye calculated it in his mind, and then said directly: "The Qin Kingdom has not occupied the land of Bashu for a long time. After digesting the benefits brought by Bashu and Yiqu, your Majesty can try to hold an alliance. Got it."

He smiled slightly: "Before the alliance meeting, there will definitely be a war. This war is the premise that can determine whether the people of the world will respect the king and call him king."

"Perhaps, with the help of this war, the Emperor of Zhou can also respect the emperor and call him king."

Chen Ye's calculation was obvious. He wanted Qin's kingship to change from "transgression" to "reasonable" recognized by the emperor of Zhou Dynasty.

This is conducive to the maintenance of Qin's reputation.

Perhaps in the future, when Qin becomes stronger, when there are more talents in Qin, when the Zhou royal family completely disappears in the smoke, Qin will no longer have to compromise in order to maintain its reputation of "benevolence and righteousness".

Until then, some degree of compromise is necessary.

Ying Si nodded slightly: "Then just wait."

He stood up, walked to the main hall, looked at everything peaceful outside, and said with a little restraint in his voice: "I have been waiting for so many years, is there still one or two years left?"

Ying Si looked at the blue sky and the leisurely clouds in the sky: "Being able to become the king in this generation is already a lucky thing."

"A widow is luckier than a king's father"

Yes, no one can deny this. He is luckier than Qin Xiaogong.

Because even though there were countless opportunities to become king during the Qin Xiaogong period, they were all given up for various reasons and for the sake of the longer-term development of Qin. Qin Xiaogong has been making compromises all his life, and he, Ying Si, does not have to compromise until death to become king.

The State of Yan was originally in a bitter cold land, and barbarians from the frontiers invaded the State of Yan from time to time, which also developed the unique character of the people of the State of Yan.

The saying "Since ancient times, there have been many knights in Yan and Zhao" is not just talk.

The character of Yan people has always been bold, straightforward, and with a bit of chivalrous spirit.

The king of Yan State stood in the main hall. He looked to the northwest and sighed leisurely: "Qin State can already be king, but why has it been delayed?"

He tapped his hand slightly on the table.

The power of the Yan State is not as strong as the countries in the Central Plains. After all, it is a bitter and cold frontier place.

But he also wants to be king.
  This was also a huge step for the Yan State, because it meant that the Yan State was no longer considered a minister of Zhou.

He looked at the silk fabrics placed on the table: "Maybe I should agree to King Wei's proposal?"

The king of Yan looked solemn and hesitant. He was really unwilling to join forces with Wei to fight against Qin until the point of no return. After all, this would not be of any benefit to Yan.
  No matter how powerful the Qin State is, can it still come to such a bitter and cold place?

At this time, the king of Yan State did not expect that during this period, the king of Qin State already had the ambition to dominate the world.
  Not only the king of Yan, but also all the countries in the world during this period did not have unified thoughts and ideas.
  They just feel that the most important thing is for Qin to dominate and become the "Lord of the Covenant" respected by all countries, and they need to bow their heads.

The winter of King Huiwen's ninth year passed under such complicated and changeable circumstances, and the spring of King Huiwen's tenth year soon came.

The arrival of spring revives everything.

After Chen Zhan escorted Prince Yiqu and King Yiqu back to Xianyang, they were, as expected, knighted in the line of duty.

His accumulated military exploits are enough for him to be awarded the title of [-]th-class Major Superior. This is a real high-level title!
  After all, Shang Yang only became a "Da Liang Zao" because of his merits, that is, he was the sixteenth-level Da Shang Zao. Later, in the fifteenth year of Qin Xiaogong's reign, he was promoted to the title of Great Shu Chief again because of his merits in the reform.

Later, he was granted the title of king because of his military merits.

It was in the first year of King Huiwen that Shang Yang actually became a Marquis of Guan Nei through the twentieth-level military merit title.

Later, after his death, he was granted the title of Chehou.

How old is Chen Zhan now?

Only fifteen years old!

And Sima Cuo was once again promoted to the first rank because of his contribution to capturing the leader of Yiqu Kingdom alive, and became the [-]th-rank concubine commander.

Among the people who are still alive in the entire Qin Kingdom, apart from Chen Ye, Sima Cuo has the highest military merit and title.

Chen Ye had already been granted the title of Marquis of Guannei, and with the title of Lord, his status was no longer comparable to that of ordinary people.

After receiving the reward, Chen Zhan was able to stay in the army as he wished, and thus he escaped the "urge to marry" from Princess Youning.

Chen Shen was very unfortunate. Because he stayed in Xianyang, he was urged to get married by You Ning all day long.

But luckily, he also met the girl he loved.

In the autumn of King Huiwen's tenth year, Chen Shen got married under the auspices of Ying Si.

Three months later, Chen Shen's wife was diagnosed with Ximai.

The following year, Chen Shen's eldest son, the third generation of the Chen family, was born in tears.

This year is the eleventh year of King Huiwen.

At this time, Chen Ye was already fifty years old, and he was old at the age when he knew his destiny.
