Da Qin: Self-destruction and time travel, I will extend my life for Qin for a thousand years

Chapter 159 In the eyes of future generations, you, Chen Sheng, are a selfish person!
"You say...

Could this be a coincidence? "

Wang Yuan smiled ambiguously and strangely, as if he was a conspirator waiting for him to fall into a trap.

What does it mean?
Why are brothers Wang looking at us like this?

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang felt chills on their backs and were covered with dense sweat.

Before they could think more, there were dense footsteps behind them, and then they heard waves of respectful welcome from the people, which was extremely clear.

"Meet Magistrate Wang!"

"Magistrate Wang, why are you here?"

"Mayor Wang, please come this way!"

The visitors were two government officials and a middle-aged man with a big belly, a black crown and a ring around his waist.

His name is Wang Cheng, and he is the county magistrate of Yangcheng.

Because the government had promoted Quyuan and sweet potatoes before, the people were very familiar with this Yangcheng Ling.

When I saw him coming, I recognized him at first sight.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang thought that Magistrate Wang was here to arrest someone, so they quickly turned around and prepared to plead guilty.

But Magistrate Wang didn't even look at them.

"Your Majesty, Wang Cheng, pays homage to His Majesty the First Emperor, His Royal Highness the Ninth Princess, and His Highness the King of Qin!"

"I failed to come to greet the three of you at the first time. It was a dereliction of duty on my part. Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Wang Cheng shook the fat on his belly and saluted Wang Yuan, Zheng Heman without saying anything!

Boom!

When Chen Sheng and Wu Guang heard this, an earth-shattering roar instantly sounded in their ears!
The two of them turned around sharply and looked at the smiling boy, the calm and unhurried political figure, and the grimacing girl!
"I'm sorry, in order to scare you just now, I hid my identity and used the surname of Yangcheng County Magistrate."

"Now, let me introduce you again!"

Cui Yuan pointed at himself: "My surname is Cui and my name is Yuan. I am the Cui Shenxian you have always wanted to see."

Then he pointed to his father-in-law and daughter-in-law: "My father-in-law is His Majesty the First Emperor, and my daughter-in-law is the ninth princess of Qin."

"Hello!" Ying Zheng greeted appropriately.

Ying Yinman didn't speak and was still making faces, obviously angry about the argument just now.

"So...so."

Chen Sheng's teeth trembled and his lips trembled: "That scene just now... was... His Highness the King of Qin... did you show it to us on purpose?"

"Yes."

"The purpose is also obvious, because this is the future for the two of you."

"Not satisfied with the status quo, he started a peasant uprising to overthrow the Qin Dynasty and claim the title of king!"

Cui Yuan nodded, and after explaining his intention, he smiled and said to the trembling two people: "I remember someone just said that they wanted to behead Brother Chen and Brother Wu, and then kill the nine tribes."

"Brother Chen, Brother Wu, do you still remember who it is?"

The two figures trembled, and they quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Please, His Majesty the King of Qin, His Majesty the First Emperor, spare your life!"

"We just had a brain twitch and were talking nonsense. I hope you won't take it to heart!"

"Just treat us like a fart and let it go!"

When things got to this point, they no longer knew what to say except begging for mercy.

"Ha ha!"

Cui Yuan laughed endlessly.

Ying Zheng also smiled and said: "Haha! Get up, everyone, don't be afraid."

"If I and King Qin wanted to kill you, you would have died long ago. Would you still be standing here?"

This……

The two of them were stunned when they heard the words, and then came back to their senses. It seemed that this was indeed the case.

If His Majesty the King of Qin and His Majesty the First Emperor had murderous intentions towards him, he would have divided his body into five pieces and annihilated the nine tribes!

Why would these two distinguished adults spend time acting for themselves?

"Then what is the purpose of His Majesty and His Highness?"

Chen Sheng asked tentatively.

Cui Yuan and Ying Zheng did not answer immediately.

The two first gave a few explanations to Magistrate Wang and asked him to step down. They then calmed down the excited people and asked them to go home and rest.

Then he took the two of them to a small teahouse in Yangcheng and sat down.

Cui Yuan glanced at the two of them and said slowly: "Actually, the reason why Your Majesty and I specially performed this play for you is mainly to test your character."

"Although you are rebels who intend to destroy Da Qin in the future, after all, you have not yet taken action."

"And with your talents, it would be a pity if you cannot be used by Great Qin."

"That's why Your Majesty and I came to Yangcheng to test your character."

"Don't you think so, Your Majesty?
Ying Zheng took over the words and continued: "Yes, although the process was a bit tortuous. But the result still makes us very satisfied."

"Although Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are not satisfied with the status quo, you have not done anything extreme. Nor have you spread rebellious ideas."

"It's just that the aristocratic thinking in the past was too heavy-handed. I always thought that the officials of Great Qin were bringing disaster to innocent people."

"But this is a small problem. You can come to Neishi County when you have time in the future and go to Liucunbao to study and progress."

"I will ask Wang Cheng to prepare the pass for you to pass the customs and boarding. After you arrive in Xianyang City, you can tell the people in the Prince of Qin's Mansion and then you can go to study."

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were greatly moved when they heard this, and immediately said that they would be Da Qin people in this life, and even if they died, they would be loyal ghosts of Da Qin, and they would never betray them forever.

Although you can only go to Liucunbao to study, rather than being directly appointed to an official position.

But as long as they have the opportunity to stand out, it is the greatest good thing for them.

On the other hand, Ying Yinman, who had always been innocent, blinked her beautiful eyes, glanced at her husband, and then at her father.

Although the two of them were talking nicely now, if I remembered correctly, the two of them were discussing how to slap Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in the face for fun.

The reasons mentioned now are all made up. The real reason is probably just to have fun.

But since they were both the most important men in her life, she couldn't say much.

"Thank you very much, His Majesty the First Emperor, and His Majesty the King of Qin for the reward."

Chen Sheng was deceived and didn't realize anything was wrong. Instead, he asked enthusiastically: "I am honored to watch the play with you, the Ninth Princess, today. It's really a grassroots Chen Sheng's ancestral grave that has smoke coming out!"

"Here, the common people have a humble request, and I hope His Highness the King of Qin can agree to it."

"Go ahead."

Cui Yuan had already guessed what his question was, so he agreed generously.

Ying Zheng also took a wicker chair to his entourage and began to lie down comfortably in advance.

Soon there will be melons to eat again.

"Caomin thanks His Highness the King of Qin!" Chen Sheng was extremely excited and said quickly: "Your Highness the King of Qin, I heard that 2000 years after you came, someone just performed such a play for Caomin and Wu Guang. It means that my name will be in the history books in the future. .”

"Can I ask, in the original history, how did later generations see me, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang?"

As soon as this question came up, Cui Yuan, who was originally the old god, was immediately surprised, along with Ying Zheng, Ying Yinman, and even Wu Guang.

Because the three of them all thought that Chen Sheng would ask about their detailed future.

No one thought that he would ask future generations how they would evaluate him.

The two questions may not seem to be very different, but in fact they are vastly different.

One is simply asking about things, while the other is asking future generations for their evaluation of what they have done in life.

'But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. '

Cui Yuan recalled the descriptions about Chen Sheng he had seen in his previous life, and combined them with his own actual perceptions.

It can be confirmed that Chen Sheng is a very ambitious person who desperately wants to get ahead and leave his name in history!
Such people will care about their own evaluation in future generations. Although it is surprising at first sight, it turns out to be surprisingly reasonable after thinking about it carefully.

"I'm sorry, but due to the lack of historical data from later generations, there are not many records about Wu Guang in history books."

"However, there are some records about Chen Sheng, the mastermind of the Dazexiang uprising, and later generations also made some comments."

Now that he has confessed his identity, it is no longer possible to call Chen Sheng Brother Chen.

Wu Guang was disappointed, but Chen Sheng was even more excited: "Please inform His Highness King Qin."

"Chen Sheng."

Cui Yuan did not answer directly, but took a sip of tea and asked: "In your opinion, what kind of person are you now?"

What kind of person am I?
Chen Sheng was stunned, not expecting Cui Yuan to suddenly ask this.

He instinctively wanted to lie, but feeling Cui Yuan's gaze, he gave up the idea instantly.

After thinking for a moment, he replied seriously: "Although I don't want to admit it, I think I should be a selfish person."

After he finished speaking, Wu Guang looked over in surprise.

Chen Sheng's face turned red, but he continued: "Because of my background, I always feel that I am just unappreciated for my talents, and that I am born to be different from the people around me."

"But I'm worried that they will suddenly become rich, make great achievements on the battlefield, and forget about me, so I often tell them that we should live in wealth and honor and never forget each other."

"But actually...I..."

Chen Sheng was a little speechless, but there was Cui Yuan here.

He continued following Chen Sheng's words: "But in fact, you just hope that they can help you when they become rich, but you yourself have never thought that if you become rich, you will help them."

"Because you think that you are not the same type of person as them and are inherently nobler than them."

"In your opinion, it is natural for them to help you, and it is a great gift for you to help them."

Chen Sheng's face turned red instantly!

He wanted to deny it, but in the end he could only lower his head in regret.

"Yes……"

"Brother Chen, you are actually this kind of person!"

After hearing this answer, the person who couldn't accept it the most was Wu Guang.

He looked at this friend he had made with all his heart. He originally thought that Chen Sheng valued commitment and loyalty, but now it seemed that this was not the case at all.

"I'm sorry..." Chen Sheng didn't defend himself, just apologized.

Wu Guang was trembling with anger, while Cui Yuan and Ying Zheng on the side nodded secretly in their hearts.

Both of them have seen many people's reactions to Cui Yuan's spoilers. Some people deny it, and some resist and go crazy, but none of them are like Chen Sheng.

You can see yourself clearly without knowing the future of the spoilers.

'It is worthy of being the No. 1 peasant uprising in China. '

'Although he was just a puppet, he was also the first person to lift the fire. '

Cui Yuan had respect for Chen Sheng for the first time.

Regardless of whether he was born into a noble family or not, or whether he was a puppet of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.

Chen Sheng was the first hero to launch a peasant uprising in China.

It was he who told all the people in this land - the princes, generals and ministers that they would rather have the seed!

"Hey~ you actually understand yourself so clearly."

Cui Yuan sighed: "Then why do you still ask me such a question?"

"I just want to ask for an answer." Chen Sheng was completely willing to give up.

"Ok."

Cui Yuan nodded and decided to fulfill his wish: "The evaluation of you by future generations is indeed the same as your own evaluation of yourself. You are an extremely selfish person."

Chen Sheng gritted his teeth.

Cui Yuan was not affected and continued: "After you became king, your thoughts gradually evolved and your relationship with the people became increasingly alienated."

"The most obvious example is what you just said about wealth and honor, don't forget each other."

"It is recorded in the history books that after hearing that you were crowned king, a fellow villager who worked with the landlord came to Chen County from his hometown in Yangcheng, Dengfeng, to look for you, but no one answered the door after knocking on the door for a long time."

"It wasn't until one day when you went out and blocked the road and called your nickname that you were summoned and took a ride back to the palace together."

"Because he is your old friend, he comes in and out more easily, and sometimes he can't help but talk about some old things about your hometown. Soon someone said to you: "Your guest is ignorant and talks nonsense, which damages your majesty. . ""

"You were so embarrassed that you killed your friend who was "talking nonsense" and threw out the words you said back then, "We should never forget each other if we are rich or noble."

Hearing this, Chen Sheng's face turned completely white.

Although he guessed about his character, he still didn't expect that not only did he break his promise, but he also killed people.

This cannot be regarded as repaying kindness with hatred, it is simply cruel and unkind.

Ying Zheng smiled and said: "Kill for dignity, not for right or wrong."

"I didn't expect it! You look so honest, but you are actually a tyrant."

Wu Guang became even more angry. Ying Yinman did not speak, but also looked away, not wanting to see Chen Sheng.

Cui Yuan smiled and comforted Ying Yinman: "Don't be angry, wife. Although he did this, he got his retribution in the end."

"What retribution?" Ying Yinman was curious and wanted to know Chen Sheng's fate.

"Of course it's a lesson from betrayal and alienation."

Cui Yuan said, looking at Chen Sheng who was already trembling: "After seeing you acting like this, all your old friends left by themselves, and no one is close to you anymore."

"And on the other hand, as your rebel struggle progresses, your rebel army also begins to disintegrate internally."

"The most obvious thing is that the generals you sent to various places have different ideas and are vying to be king, making the divisions public."

"For example, the military ministers in the Northern Expedition proclaimed themselves kings of Zhao and transformed into leaders of the separatist regime. Han Guang also proclaimed himself king of Yan after conquering the land of Yan. Although Zhou Shi who captured the old lands of Wei did not proclaim himself king, he established Ningling, a descendant of Wei. Lord Wei Jiu is the king, and he appoints himself Prime Minister of Wei, and cedes lands to protect himself."

"At the same time, the heroes from all over the country who responded in response no longer listened to your control, and directly isolated you as the main anti-Qin force, giving Great Qin a chance to counterattack, and defeated you in one fell swoop. You were also killed by a coachman on the way to escape. .”

"From planning an uprising, to proclaiming the king and establishing a country, to being defeated and killed, it only took half a year."
