Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 386: The autumn grass has withered, but the spring leaves are blooming (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)
In the dark and desolate night, the entire palace was covered in white, and the entire palace was immersed in mourning.

Wang Ben looked at Wang Li with a serious expression.

"Why is it so cold this autumn?"

People on the street have already put on double-layer jackets, and passers-by are walking in a hurry.

Everyone looked up at the sky. The sun was covered with a layer of fog, and its light was no longer dazzling.From a distance, even children saw the moon appear.

Yellow leaves were floating and rustling everywhere on the street.

A thick layer of leaves fell in front of the palace door, but the plain cloth still hung the plaque in front of the door.

Wang Jian's funeral in Xianyang was held grandly.

But according to Wang Jian's instructions before his death, he hoped that he could be buried in his hometown - Pinyang County.

So Wang Ben took his son to Pinyang County.

There are no six tombs in the history books. Those six tombs mean that Wang Jian conquered the Six Kingdoms.

But the new historical reality was before everyone's eyes, and Qin Huang finally buried Wang Jian with feudal rites.

Pinyang County, in front of Wang Jian's tomb.

Wang Ben and Wang Li were both in plain clothes, and they were about to leave Pinyang County and return to Xianyang City.

Within a few days, green grass grew on the edge of the soil that had been disturbed by the new tomb.

Wang Li muttered:

"The autumn grass has withered, but the spring leaves are blooming."

Wang Li looked at his grandfather's tomb and was somewhat reluctant to return to Xianyang City.

Wang Ben was slightly surprised when he heard that, and he looked solemn:
"It was your grandfather's wish that you would inherit his title. His expectations for you were far higher than for me."

When Wang Li heard this, he naturally felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.

Compared with Wang Jian and Wang Ben, in the final analysis, Wang Li still looks a little thinner.

Inheriting the title was only due to the merits of his ancestors. Wang Li knew this very well.

So Wang Li's dilemma is, does he deserve the title his grandfather left him.

This is not just Wang Li's dilemma.

Wang Li knew that after a feat like his, there would be many people in the court.

The reason why his name Wang Li is well known to the people of Xianyang is because of his grandfather and his father.

People like the eldest son, the youngest son of the Meng family, and the eldest son of the Feng family are all the same as him.

(The eldest son is the eldest young master, and the youngest son is the young master.)
Their ancestors and fathers have accumulated too much merit, and they have been able to benefit from it, but their good family training and upbringing have made them feel slightly uncomfortable about enjoying their honors.

Because they have no ability to show off at all.

The mixed ones are a little better. They enter the house as Qin officials, and after a period of time, they can become government officials, county officials, and county officials, but according to their age, it will take at least ten years.

And with Wang Li's status, if he abandoned the military and became an official, he would have to provide guidance.

What's more, he is already the new Marquis of Wucheng.

The emperor's edict had arrived in his hands, but while holding it, his palms felt hot.

"Father, after I become a prince, do I have to go to court like you, father?"

Wang Li's question was very redundant.

"That's natural. Your grandfather is too old to move. But you are young and energetic, and you need to go to the court to meet the courtiers."

style?

I heard people say that since the beginning of His Majesty's quest for immortality and medicine, the knowledgeable people in the court began to criticize the Emperor.

Over the years, more and more ministers who used to be prominent in the court have returned to their hometowns with their families and daughters on the grounds of old age and illness.

It is said that except for a few knowledgeable people in the court who are afraid of crimes and dare not speak out, most of the rest are flatterers, flattering His Majesty in order to seek high salary.

Although Wang Ben never mentioned these things at home, Wang Li had actually heard about them a long time ago.

"But my father also knows that it is just an excuse. My grandfather did not dare to go to court because he was afraid of losing his head."

Wang Ben naturally frowned after hearing this.

"You are smart!"

Wang Li is no longer afraid of his father. He is the Marquis of Che, one rank higher than his father.

Wang Li stood where he was, neither hiding nor hiding.

"Father, I will tell you the truth. Although I enjoy the highest rank of marquis, in the eyes of outsiders, I am just an incompetent junior who has inherited the glory of my grandfather. Even if I go to court, no one will take my words seriously. It’s nothing serious, let alone His Majesty the Emperor.”

Although Wang Li's words were not very pleasant, they did make sense.

"Eating the emperor's salary and bearing the emperor's worries are the most basic etiquette of a monarch and his ministers."

"Father, don't say anything rude at this time. Although father doesn't say it, we can all see that there is a crisis within the empire itself."

Wang Li said and glanced at his father.

"The biggest crises within the empire all lie with that one person. And far outside Guanzhong, there are even more problems. Although the household registration classification makes the old Qin people happy to return home, the crisis is lurking under the Six Kingdoms. This This is a truth that everyone understands.”

After Wang Li said this, it's no wonder Wang Ben was there.

Wang Ben kicked down and directly hit Wang Li's knee. As he screamed, Wang Li immediately knelt down in pain.

"nonsense!"

Wang Ben said to Wang Li seriously:

"Your grandfather, as well as your father and I, all relied on military merit to achieve our current status. Don't think that because you are the Marquis of Che, I won't dare to do anything to you, unless you are not my son, Wang Ben!"

Wang Li naturally looked angry after hearing this.

Wang Li held back tears and pain and focused his attention on Wang Jian's tombstone.

Wang Ben still looked angry:
"Listen to me, don't meddle in internal affairs. Our royal family does not interfere with government affairs. You only need to listen to His Majesty. If His Majesty asks you to attack the city, you will attack the city. If His Majesty asks you to guard the border, you will guard the border."

Wang Ben was aggressive, but Wang Li's heart had already undergone other changes.

"There can only be one sun in the sky, but who knows whether the sun that appears today and the sun that appears tomorrow are the same?"

Wang Ben's face darkened after hearing this, but he felt a chill running down his spine.

There are no impervious walls in the world.

This sentence has already been widely circulated.

"Father, you are the only one who is still standing here stupidly. My good sisters, father, you married them to your former subordinates, saying nothing about the old agreement."

"Father, the world will change, and you should have changed long ago. Unless there is a resurgence of war, our royal family will always bear empty titles. Today's Qin State needs talents who can give advice and calm people's hearts, not people who follow the old ways. "

Maybe everyone underestimated this Wang Li.

In fact, Wang Jian just wanted his grandson to have a safe, prosperous and prosperous life.

Wang Jian has seen through too much, but he has not seen through his grandson.

Wang Ben hopes that Wang Li can serve His Majesty if he has the opportunity in the future.

But in Wang Li's opinion, Wang Ben's hope was just a joke that only children would hear.

Wang Li, a young man, may not have the ability to lead soldiers, but he has a heart for power.

Wang Li had lived in Xianyang for a long time and often had private discussions with the children of the aristocratic family. This gave him a lot of information and made him rethink the status of their Wang family in the court.

The emperor was afraid of their royal family, and with the emperor around, it was doomed that Wang Li would be a mediocre person for the rest of his life.But the future emperor is different.

Wang Li is not the kind of mediocre person who covets comfort and wants to take advantage of the merits of his ancestors. He wants to be a person who far exceeds the merits of his ancestors and fathers.

The Wang family must not decline in his hands.

Since Wang Li became a little more sensible, he has already understood many things.

After hearing these words, Wang Ben already felt chills running down his spine.

He looked at the strong and tall boy in front of him, with sharp eyes, and his mouth trembled with anger for a moment.

"Get out, get out as far as I want."

Wang Ben crossed his arms and shouted angrily.

The rabbits and pheasants in the surrounding fields were all frightened away by Wang Ben. They were frightened and flew away.

There was also a young man who jumped on his horse and rode away.

In the silent wilderness, Wang Ben's heart was frozen to the extreme.

Wang Ben looked at the autumn grass, and two lines of hot tears fell from his cheeks.

"The autumn grass has withered, but the spring leaves are blooming."

Wang Ben was muttering in his mouth, but in a daze, he suddenly heard a familiar sigh from the distance.

Wang Ben turned around suddenly, only to find that there was no one else around.
