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

Chapter 120 The sky is unfair! [Update 4k, please subscribe]

At this moment, the question appeared in Chen Ye's mind again.

Is living too long really a good thing?

Ying Si on the bed slowly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with gray decay. He sighed softly, then looked at everyone present: "Are you all here?"

There was some relief in his voice.

In fact, maybe death is really a kind of relief for Ying Si now.

Strong medicine can indeed keep a person's "body" in a peak state, but "strong medicine" cannot relieve mental fatigue.

When I wake up every morning, I see the imbalance between my "body" and my "spirit". This is a very strong pressure on a person's spirit.

Who can bear to wait for death day by day?
  Ying Si could bear it and endured it for half a year.

In the last month, he almost restrained the madness in his heart that wanted to destroy everything and persisted.

People die like lights go out.

"Teacher."

Ying Si looked at Chen Ye beside him, whose hair was gray and mottled, like broken sunlight.

He didn't say much, but that look said everything.

"Teacher, don't forget what you promised me back then."

He held Chen Ye's hand tightly, and his eyes were wide open at this time, filled with bloodshot eyes, almost covering the entire eyeball.

A forced smile appeared on Chen Ye's face. He looked at Chen Ye and said, "Don't worry."

His voice pretended to be relaxed: "I promised your father back then that I would take good care of you and Qin. Didn't I do it?"

Chen Ye's voice was casual and soft, as free as the wind in the wilderness: "Look, even you can't survive my body. Some people will definitely not be able to survive me."

In fact, this kind of words should not be said at this time.

After all, no one knows whether the horror between life and death will change a person.

Chen Zhan, Chen Shen, and even Su Qin and Zhang Yi, who had a good relationship with Chen Ye, all looked at Chen Ye slightly worriedly, fearing that if they said this "life and death", Ying Si would be furious.

Unexpectedly, Ying Si was not furious and was completely relieved.

He seemed relieved.

Chen Ye sat aside, with a look of helplessness on his face. He knew the hidden meaning of Ying Si's words just now. Apart from him, I'm afraid no one could understand it better than him, right?

Ying Si is worried about Mi Bazi.

Mi Bazi is still the queen. Last year, many people were found to have collusion with the other six countries, but only Mi Bazi was not found to have collusion with Chu.

Not even a little bit.

Do you believe this matter?

Ying Si's reason didn't believe it, but his sensibility made him believe it.

Because he really loves Mi Bazi.

Perhaps this love is not as much as his love for Qin, but it is definitely a lot, at least it occupies the vast majority of a king's personal feelings.

In addition, Chen Ye was here, so in the end, Ying Si did not abolish the queen after all, and still let Mi Bazi continue to be the queen.

Among his favorite children, only Ying Ji could hold the position of King of Qin.

Possible

At the last moment of his life, Ying Si began to feel uneasy and worried.

The past of history lingered before his eyes like a revolving lantern, and everything began to make the king, whose life was about to come to an end, begin to doubt.

So he became ill and sought medical treatment in a hurry, and his last thoughts hit Chen Ye's head again.

He hoped that Chen Ye could persevere and endure it, even if he had to hang himself with medicine in the end, he would have to endure it until Mi Bazi died.

even
  Ying Si raised his head slightly and looked at the chamberlain on the side with a slight movement in his eyes. The chamberlain came over, holding a box in his hand. The box was already prepared.

"Teacher, here is the edict left by Gu."

"If things get to the point of no return, you can use this thing."

Chen Ye raised his head slightly, looked at the box, raised his hands to take it, held the box in his arms, and sighed quietly.

He could guess what was left in the box.

Ying Si was afraid that he wouldn't last until the day Mi Bazi died, after all, his health didn't look as good as Mi Bazi's.

The edict in this box is probably the "insurance" he left for himself.

Make sure that even if Chen Ye dies, Mi Bazi cannot bring trouble to Chao Gang.

"The minister obeys the order."

Only then did Ying Si feel completely relieved. He looked at everyone and then said: "Most of Gu's heirs are useless, especially Ying Dang."

"This son is so domineering that even if the sky falls and the earth collapses, and Qin is about to perish, we cannot accept him as king."

He closed his eyes slightly and said with all his strength: "If someone regards him as the king, the lonely soul will definitely demand his life! The ancestors of Qin will definitely not let him go!"

Many courtiers stood there, listening to Ying Si speaking this with all his strength.

They didn't feel it was funny, they just felt sad inside.

A generation of heroic Mingjun, when he was on the verge of life and death, no longer had any sense, but became so suspicious.

"The minister is waiting for the order."

The thoughts in Ying Si's mind continued to run, and after a moment he said again: "Now, Guzhi is about to die, and the country is uncertain."

"Send hostages to all countries."

"Young Master Fu is gentle and humble, so go to Qi."

"According to Gu's edict, get up immediately."

As soon as the voice fell, before many courtiers could react, the guards responded one by one, preparing to take Prince Fu directly to Qi State.

This has already been discussed with Qi State, and King Xuan of Qi will send his eldest son to Qin State in exchange.

Zhang Yi and Su Qin were stunned. Among the king's many young masters, except for those who went to other countries as hostages, there was only one young master, a young master, a young master, and a young master Fu. Now that the young master Fu has also been sent to other countries, there is only one young master left in the country. One young man is strong and the other is slutty.

But the king has just said that Young Master Dang cannot be the king.

Could it be that the king’s favorite is actually Gongzi Zhuang?
  Sima Cuo paused for a moment, not knowing whether he should remind him, but in the end his emotions took over and he took a step forward: "Your Majesty, if Master Fu also goes to another country, there will be only one Master Zhuang left in the country."

He said tactfully: "A year ago, you denamed the son Zhuang's clan, but now I'm afraid it's too late to rename him King of Qin."

"It's too late" is a tempting word. If Ying Si really makes up his mind, it will still be too late.

But Ying Si just smiled: "Who said that among the many young masters in Gu, they are the only ones in the country now?"

Sima Cuo was stunned for a moment. He recalled it carefully, and even began to wonder if he had remembered it wrong.

But after thinking about it, I didn't find any mistakes or omissions.

"Kings."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ying Si. Ying Si looked at everyone and smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now."

"Let's talk about Gu's behind-the-scenes first."

Ying Si seemed to have some strength at this time, and he was able to lie down half-ly.

"When you die alone, you should not waste national resources on large-scale funerals, and you should not disturb the people and prevent them from living a normal life."

He thought for a moment and then asked: "How many months is it now?"

Chen Ye replied softly: "Your Majesty, it is already nearly February."

February.

Ying Si sighed with emotion: "February is a good time. Have you already prepared many matters for spring plowing?"

Da Sinong came out of the queue, bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, we are ready, but..."

Ying Si smiled slightly: "Okay, no need to look so sad." "After Gu passes away, the people should use the sky to represent the year. If the people of the country mourn for three days, it will be replaced by three years. The next king will use the month to represent the year."

"Spring plowing is a major plan for the country, and it cannot be delayed because of loneliness."

He looked at Ying Ji beside him and said: "In addition, the clan should not work too hard or spend too much. Once spring comes, I am afraid the world will not be peaceful again."

"Let the Chinese people live a comfortable summer."

Ying Ji bowed slightly, with a calm look on his face. He was from the clan, so it was naturally convenient for him to enter the palace.

Ying Si has told him these words many times, and he has long known that living today is a kind of torture for Ying Si, so although he is a little sad, it is not very sad.

Ying Si thought for a while and then said: "As for the rest of the matter, I almost explained it when I was seriously ill last time."

"To avoid chaos, let me talk to you again."

"After leaving alone, the king is still young, but——"

"While you are the pillar of the country, you cannot allow others to interfere in politics."

There was a fierceness in Ying Si's words: "Do you understand what I mean?"

Doing politics?

This word is already obvious, it is aimed at the harem.

Su Qin, Zhang Yi and others were not stupid people, so they immediately bowed slightly and said: "Wei."

Ying Si continued: "Besides, it's the same as last time."

"Let An Guojun Chen Ye serve as a minister to assist the country. Before the monarch takes charge, he will have an overview of all state affairs. Seeing him is like seeing an orphan and seeing the king."

"According to Gu's edict, no one can be above him."

Speaking of this, there was a little hesitation in his voice, as if he didn't know whether he should say the next sentence.

"also."

Ying Si paused for a long time. After all, he did not say the next sentence. Instead, he sighed and changed the words in his mouth into another sentence.

"Under Chen Ye, Chen Zhan, Chen Shen, Sima Cuo, Ying Ji, Su Qin, and Zhang Yi were selected as ministers to assist the king and An Guojun in handling government affairs."

The seven people saluted and then listened to the order.

After Ying Si finished saying this, he looked in the direction of the main hall, as if he was waiting for someone. When he saw that the place was still empty, he took another breath.

"I have no regrets in this life."

"The only regret is that I can't watch Qin continue to be strong and prosperous. All the kings are the pillars of Qin. After you are gone, you should try your best to assist the King of Qin!"

Everyone naturally nodded.

Another moment passed, and the oil lamp was still burning.

Ying Si was still chattering nonsense, but still did not decide on the candidate for King Qin. Among the people present, except Chen Ye, everyone else was a little anxious.

After all, Ying Si's condition looks very bad now.

It could pass in one breath at any time.

If it really passes without leaving a definite candidate for the next King of Qin, it will not be a good thing for Qin.
  I'm just afraid that Qin will be in chaos.

So, everyone looked at me and I looked at you with their own eyes.

But no one dared to speak.

Sima Cuo touched Ying Ji slightly and glanced at Ying Si, his eyes seemed to be saying something.

Ying Ji shook his head slightly, signaling Sima Cuo not to speak.

Another half hour passed.

Ying Si's chest heaved, as if he was breathing his last breath, but he still held on.

Just when everyone couldn't help but want to ask, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the hall, and together with it came the sharp and angry scolding of the guards: "According to the king's decree, anyone who blocks it will die!"

Everyone couldn't help but look over and saw a young man being escorted by many guards.

The young man's face was dusty, but his aura was very awe-inspiring, as tall and straight as a pine or cypress in winter.

"Gongziji?"

Someone couldn't help but exclaimed: "Why is Gongzi Ji here?"

However, the few people standing at the front all suddenly understood why Ying Si refused to reveal the candidate for the next King of Qin, and even more understood why Ying Si seemed so strange today. He knew that people were about to die, but he still kept He took his last breath and refused to leave.

They are waiting for Gong Ziji!

At this time, the sharp-eyed Su Qin and Zhang Yi took a breath of air because they saw the two people beside Gong Ziji.

Chen Shou, Chen Zhao.

Chen! It’s Chen again!
  Zhang Yi smacked his lips: "Senior brother, it seems that the third-generation eldest son of the Chen family has caught the eye of the king again!"

Su Qin curled his lips and said, "If you have the ability, why would you let three generations of kings pamper you?"

"Don't you take a look at An Guojun's achievements and the ambition of his three generations of descendants."

Su Qin said with emotion: "Chen Shen was praised by the emperor as "the place of etiquette and the place of righteousness." Chen Zhan was immediately granted the title of minister, and Chen Zhao became famous throughout Xianyang at a young age."

"The Qin State is lucky to have the Chen family."

Ying Si, who was lying on the hospital bed, seemed to have the last bit of strength at this moment, as if he was returning to his original state of mind.

He smiled and could even sit up without help.

"Come."

"Ji'er, Zhao'er, come to me."

Ying Ji and Chen Zhao walked up to Ying Si. At this time, Ying Si was already breathing out more and taking in less air. He did not hesitate or delay at all. He looked at the crowd with a majestic and solemn expression.

"This is the legitimate son of Gu, the place of etiquette, and the place of the country!"

"I have decreed that Young Master Ji shall be crown prince!"

"After Gu passes away, the crown prince ascends the throne!"

"No delay!"

After saying this, without waiting for everyone to salute, he spoke again: "In addition, Chen Shen is just and benevolent. He has made countless achievements. He was promoted to high minister, received an additional salary of three hundred stones, and commanded the army of the palace."

"Chen Zhao is a humble man, his talent and reputation are widely known, and he is an excellent scholar in Xianyang Academy. He should be put in a high position."

"Ask him to be the commander-in-chief."

This was what Ying Si had already thought about.

"also."

Ying Si sighed slightly and spoke again: "Add Chen Shou as the prince's tutor, and hope that you will supervise the prince's studies!"

"Cough cough cough cough"

As if he had exhausted his last bit of strength, after Ying Si said these words, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, then fell back with his eyes open.

He used his last bit of strength to say in a weak voice that could hardly be heard by others: "The sky is unfair, the sky is unfair!"

"Why not let me live ten more years?"

In the spring and February of the sixteenth year of King Huiwen's reign, King Huiwen died.

Before he died, he said that heaven was unfair.

"King Huiwen is the son of Duke Xiao. He is a benevolent and righteous man who lives up to the name of the late king. When he was twenty and eight years old, he became king at the beginning of Qin Dynasty. He was given by the emperor and did not dare to resign. In the spring and February of the [-]th year of the Geng Dynasty, King Huiwen Zhangtai Palace collapsed, and his life span was ninety-nine. ——"New Qin Shu·Benji of King Huiwen"
