Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 487 The one who wins the hearts of the people is to follow the way of heaven (ask for a monthly ticket recommendation ticket!)

Zhang Er was happy after hearing this, but his expression remained motionless, still solemn.

Years of being on the run and living in anonymity have always made these two people breathless. Like them, there are many people on the Qin State's wanted list. Some people died of old age, illness or were killed on the way to escape.

Up to now, Chen Yu has changed from a young man to a middle-aged uncle, while Zhang Er is moving from a middle-aged uncle to dusk, with high cheekbones and black and white hair on the top. Although it is thick, the lines on his forehead are Like many tiny wavy rivers flowing side by side.

Zhang Er stroked his beard.

"You have to think clearly, this time is not the time to be arrogant. Now that I have made such a decision, I have no intention of continuing to live. After all, you are younger than me, and you may be able to stand out in the country of Yan Opportunity."

Chen Yu naturally didn't believe it when he heard it.

"The leader of the Zhao family took me in regardless of the danger, changed my name, and gave me a wife and concubine. If I leave King Zhao today, it would be unjust. Zhang Gong has treated me like his own son along the way, teaching and caring for me." Moreover, it would be unworthy of me to betray Duke Zhang. If I leave the State of Zhao today and go to the State of Yan, I will be a disloyal and unjust person for the rest of my life."

"You have become such a disloyal and unjust person, how can you be reused by others?"

"The reason why Mr. Zhang and I came to Zhao State together is because Zhao State is full of people like you and me who are trying to get rid of Qin State's pursuit and want to resist Qin State? Although the situation in the world has changed a lot today , most scholars have the heart to belong to the Qin people, but we are exiles. Qin Shihuang ordered us to hunt down and kill us. Once we lose the protection of Zhao Xie, our situation will be even more dangerous."

"Although Yandi is far away from Guanzhong, the people who control Yandi now are the princes of Qin Wangzheng. If they know my existence, they will never let me go."

"From this point of view, Chen Yu has no way out at this point. Now that Mr. Zhang is unwilling to shrink and wants to achieve eternal fame, why don't I follow Mr. Zhang? Otherwise, even if I save my life in the end, it will be nothing more. Living an ignoble existence in a remote place."

Chen Yu's words really moved Zhang Er.

"Sure enough, I saw you right. Since you are so determined, then you can come with me to visit Zhang Liang another day. Although he didn't say it explicitly, I think he just doesn't want to alert the snake. You and I will go to visit him alone tomorrow. time, we discuss important matters together.”

"can."

Chen Yu clasped his fists and bowed heavily.

The two made an appointment, and it was already mid-moon, and there was a bright moon hanging in the sky, and the mountain winds were blowing from the surrounding hills, and they were running around in the mountain streams.

"It's late at night, I'll take Mr. Zhang back."

Zhang Gong agreed, and then he was escorted by Chen Yu to the city.

The number of officials in the State of Qin was insufficient, but a place like Handan City, the former capital of Zhao State, must be heavily guarded. Not only that, there were also many Qin informants among the people in the city.

In short, half of the people in Handan City no longer regard themselves as Zhao people.

Such a moonlit night seemed extremely sad and melancholy in Chen Yu's heart.

The two of them walked on the broad street and passed the execution ground. They looked at each other and just laughed.

Zhang Er patted Chen Yu's shoulder and comforted him:

"No matter whether this thing comes to pass or not, the two of us can be brothers in the next life!"

Chen Yu couldn't stop laughing after hearing this.

The two of them laughed and cried along the way. After sending Zhang Er to his residence, they bowed and then both threw off their long sleeves. One stood on the threshold and watched Chen Yu go further and further away, while the other took long meteoric steps. , Swinging his long sleeves and wielding his sword, he walked away.

Chen Yu arrived at the door of his house and saw his concubine waiting at the door, with two lines of tears on his face.

Chen Yu pretended that nothing happened.

"I couldn't sleep. I went to visit Mr. Zhang and played two games of chess. Why are you still up so late?"

The concubine didn't say anything. She just waited until Chen Yu entered the house and locked the door behind her, then said seriously:
"I heard everything you said today. Are you really going to leave this concubine behind and do that rebellious thing?"

Chen Yu was naturally surprised when he heard this. He planned to send her and the children away from Handan, but he didn't expect that his concubine already knew about it.

"Ignorant woman, don't talk too much in front of outsiders. If this matter spreads, you and I won't even be able to see the sun tomorrow."

The concubine let out a sneer.

"Did you know that now that the second generation has succeeded to the throne, he has shown great favor to the people, reducing taxes and corvees, and now he is vigorously expelling bad and counterfeit coins and promoting new money. Many people in the city praise this move. Many people have already begun to surrender to Qin. Heart."

"Ten years ago, those who dared to resist the Qin State like you, my husband, would have been respected by the people in the city, and would have been regarded as generous and chivalrous in the eyes of the world. But now, times have changed, and the world is extremely respectful to the second generation. Husband, His behavior will be despised by the world.”

"Didn't my husband notice it? Now the neighbors no longer come to our house. Obviously they know that my husband is not willing to submit to Qin."

"Now, my husband, if you do such a dangerous thing, not only will you not be praised by others, but you will also attract criticism from others. And if this is not done, your husband will definitely suffer the disaster of his life."

When Chen Yu heard these words, he was naturally angry.

"As a woman, you only have to take care of a few children, but you actually took care of me."

Seeing Chen Yu getting angry, this concubine naturally felt timid.But when she thought about what he was going to do, uncontrollable fear arose in her heart, and the concubine began to sob.

"I kindly advise my husband, naturally it is for your own sake. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your sister and many children who are far away in Wei."

After Chen Yu heard this, Huhu's concubine only glanced at him.

He stood indoors, eight feet tall, with a solemn face, standing straight and straight like the pillars holding up the beams in the house.

Chen Yu looked at the bright moon and couldn't help but shed tears:
"When I left the land of Wei and came to the land of Zhao, it was not just to escape for my life, but to achieve great things! Since I, Chen Yu, was born in this world, I must become a marquis and a general, otherwise my life in this world will be in vain. I have survived. But if I am killed today, what can I do?"

"If I pretend to be deaf and mute this time, I will be looked down upon even more in the future, and I will face you at home. Don't tell me you are hateful!"

After hearing this, the concubine started sobbing even more, and fell directly on the collapse to cry.The yellow dog in the courtyard started barking in surprise.

After hearing this, Chen Yu went out with his fists raised to threaten the big dog. When the dog calmed down, he found that the concubine was still crying and naturally became angry.

"Why are you crying? The neighbors on the left and right were woken up by you."

The concubine stopped sobbing, then undressed and went to sleep.

When Chen Yu saw this, his dark face suddenly turned red. He didn't bother to get angry anymore, so he just blew out the lamp in a hurry, and then had an intimate emotional outburst with his concubine.

……

……

……

The next day.

There was an unprecedented lively scene in Handan City, and the streets were full of shouts.

The people of Yan and Qi were all walking around the city of Handan.

Although there are elegant dialects, the accents of Yan people and Qi people are very different, so it is easy to distinguish these people from different places.

The streets were bustling with people, and it looked like a bustling market, which made people feel emotional when they saw it at the top of the city.

There are those who bring their flocks out to sell, and those who open shops to sell cloth, rich merchants and big businessmen who hang three or five strings of coins around their waists, and people from small households also hold a few coins in their hands.

The steam from the soup steamed on the street, and the leaves of the elm trees beside the wine shop swayed in the breeze and fell at the feet of pedestrians.

There were far fewer people with knives and swords on the street, and there were more men wearing little felt hats and second-color clothing.

Several camels also walked around the city with bells hanging around their necks.

The streets were filled with all kinds of sounds, and pedestrians were coming and going in a hurry.

At the gate of the city, there was a large group of people surrounding the sign.

"In order to improve people's livelihood and national economy, we are promoting round square hole coins with the four words 'Great Qin Empire' printed on them. ..."

(Legend below.)
"Those who hold the old Zhao State coins and Qin State sword coins should go and exchange them for new coins."

"Whoever discovers that others are holding counterfeit and bad coins and fails to report and expose them will receive a reward of ten."

"Anyone who is caught with counterfeit and bad currency will have all the men in the family given thirty canes, and the family's property and silk will be confiscated."

Although the reward is not very high, it is high enough for the common people; and the punishment measures make everyone feel timid.

Zhang Liang was sitting in the restaurant. Looking at this scene, he felt a surge of sadness and anger in his heart.

Every restaurant in the world has its own characteristics, but in general, there is always a person who plays the piano.

In this place where the people of Qin are loose in control, all they sing is the sound of country subjugation.

But today, in this restaurant, the song "Homecoming Song" was sung, not only with a majestic aura, but also with a sad heart.

Zhang Liang listened and said naturally:

"Duke Zhou vomits and feeds, and the world returns to its heart."

Thinking of this, Zhang Liang's hand holding the sword showed veins.

Everyone around looked at Zhang Liang.

Although this man was thin and thin, he was quite handsome, like a woman.

Just because Zhang Liang doesn't grow a beard very much.

(This statement is unsubstantiated. I inferred it from my own reading. Tai Shigong wrote that Zhang Liangmao was like a good girl, praising him for his good looks, calmness and calmness, but all men in the pre-Qin period had beards. , and Zhang Liang would never have been young when he traveled around the world. There is only one possibility. My Zhang Liang did not have a beard, so Qin Shi Mingyue was really awesome. It was not that Zhang Liang was too young at that time, but that his son He won’t grow a beard.)
After Zhang Liang said this, the shop owner and everyone in the shop looked at Zhang Liang warily.

This boss opened the store just to make money, not for the great cause of restoring the country.

Moreover, he saw that the city had settled down and the situation was very good today, so he deliberately invited the violinist to sing this song.

It's just because he has heard many people praise the Second Emperor today, so the shop owner grasped the hearts of the people, and immediately changed the song composed by the Second King to the repertoire in the store.

For a moment, Zhang Liang also felt uncomfortable being stared at by these people.

Zhang Liang put on his bamboo hat, left the coins, and quickly left the shop.

This time, he brought only a few dead soldiers.

As for Big Hammer, he was tall and easy to spot, so Zhang Liang asked him to stay where he was lurking.

Zhang Liang did not expect that in just one year, the second generation would fulfill his long-cherished wish.

As he was walking on the street, he suddenly remembered something.

"Those who win the hearts and minds of the people follow the way of heaven; those who go against the hearts and minds of the people are the most treacherous and unruly ones. There have been many kings in ancient times, but only those who win the hearts and minds of the people are famous in the world. The Qin Emperor was unruly and conquered violently just for his own selfish desires. The people of the world will not Will obey him."

Thinking of this, Zhang Liang smiled unwillingly.

Because now, he is the one who defies the law of heaven.In other words, the second generation has won the hearts of the people and has inherited the way of heaven.

What the Second Emperor did was completely contrary to Qin Huang.

Zhang Liang had already taken a dim view of many things before coming to Zhao State. Now that he saw this scene, he could only ponder for a while, and then left.

The trend is no longer there!
The news brought by Zhang Liang himself moved faster than the mountain wind, and it quickly reached the ears of the people of Qin.

The chief officials of Qin State and the resident general had just received the secret message, which made them begin to wonder if there was an internal problem.

"But no matter what, the news of His Majesty's coming to Handan has been leaked, so those rebels are bound to make a big fuss about this matter. I can't imagine that if Bolangsha's assassination of the First Emperor happened again, would you and I Can you still keep your head?"

"What do you think the sheriff should do?"

"Quickly report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor. In addition, you and I together advise His Majesty not to come to Handan. This land of Yanzhao has always been full of generous and elegiac people. Moreover, the refugees have not yet been cleared. Something unexpected happened."

"Now His Majesty is determined to implement benevolent policies and win over the people of the world. He has taken several measures in succession to drive the rebels into panic. Let's look at the intentions of these rebels. They are afraid that they will die now. If they are determined to do something right, If His Majesty the Emperor is unfavorable, you and I will be implicated. It is better to advise the new Emperor as early as possible. The new Emperor will be lenient and benevolent, and if we act with reason and show affection, His Majesty the Emperor may not be willing to listen."

The resident general didn't look relaxed after hearing this.

"This matter will be decided according to the county governor's plan."

The governor of Handan heard this and immediately sent someone to write a memorial.

It's just that the general has a thick waist and is walking around in the big room with a sword, which makes the sheriff feel upset.

"What's the matter, General?"

The resident general looked at him sideways and said:

"Can you repay His Majesty for that matter?"

The county guard also looked sad after hearing this.

"Young Master General Lu was nominally going to hunt down the bandits, but he actually sent troops to occupy a large area of ​​land. This move is already an act of trespass. We have all received the news, and I believe His Majesty has also been informed of this matter."

"I don't think so. Since it is a matter of trespass, the young master will definitely refuse to report it to His Majesty. The reason why you and I got such news is because the old people from the old Zhao country moved back to Handan, so we got it." This news."

How about everyone guessing: How did Zhang Liang and Big Iron Hammer get rescued by Chu Nan Gong?
