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

Chapter 283 The Emperor’s Plan

Chen Bi looked at the two things in his hands with a look of surprise on his face.

Then comes excitement.

Things like ancestors' dreams are actually passed down from generation to generation in the succession of family heads, but it has been decades since the last time ancestors had dreams.

For so long, Chen Bi thought that these things were just the dreams of "father" and "eldest father".

Made up lies.

It's just the very effective "Kilin Jade" around his waist that allowed Chen Bi to maintain his last trust. But now the "Causal Talisman" and the "Enlightenment Dragon Field", coupled with the talent Chen Ye's dream, instantly Chen Bi once again firmly believed in the words of the head of the family during the handover.

Death is not the end for Chen!

It was as if some "shackles" had been loosened all over his body, and his whole body began to relax. The unicorn jade around his waist seemed to be working, slowly making his "thoughts" more rational and clear-headed.

When Chen Bi felt this "thought", he sat cross-legged in his study and looked at his past decades and the things he had done during these years from a non-"almost God's perspective" perspective. .

"In this way, no matter whether the lineage of the Chen family can continue to pass on the "information", it can be used as the last line of defense to protect the Chen family."

His reading is not a devout reading day and night, but more like reading for a while in his free time and reading for a while when he is relaxing.

On the fifteenth day, Chen Bi returned to normal life again.

Smart people and scholars, no matter what era they are in, are the "trendsetters" of the era, and at the end of the day they can be regarded as "middle-class and upper-class people". There is absolutely nothing wrong with this.

After all, not everyone can view their upcoming life in this perspective.

Everyone makes mistakes, and there is no one in this world who is immune to mistakes.

After thinking carefully, he threw the "karma talisman" in the mid-air of the "ancestral hall", and then the "karma talisman" turned into an "invisible" object and shrouded it above the ancestral hall.

Therefore, even if the Zhuoshen Building is damaged in a war in the future, the "Enlightenment Dragon Field" will automatically be transferred to another place with the "Zhuoshen Building" book collection.

When he had seen everything in the long river of history, Chen Bi finally summarized all his experiences in the past few decades.

After doing all this, Chen Bi felt relieved, but instead of entering the "Zhuoshen Building" to read a book, he returned to his room and started to sleep.

On the third day, Chen Bi spent less time studying. Instead, he immersed himself in some ordinary things and did whatever he wanted.

Chen Bi thought about it again and again, and after taking almost all the situations into consideration, he felt relieved.

"The effect of the causal talisman is not very clear, but when it comes to the word "causal", one cannot be careless, so it is placed on the "ancestral hall". If it really comes to the stage of using this thing, it will inevitably There has been an extremely huge "change."

"The head of the Chen family went to the ancestral hall to offer sacrifices. This "karma talisman" must feel the causal connection with the Chen family. I transferred its control power to the bloodline. Only the bloodline of my Chen family members can use it."

In order to prevent the Zhuoshen Building from being damaged in the war, or the Chen family's decline one day, as early as Chen Shen's generation, the books in the Zhuoshen Building had been backed up "many times" and hidden in different places.

On the fifth day, Chen Bi began to walk casually on the street, looking at the fireworks around him from time to time.

He lowered his head and looked at the Enlightenment Dragon Field in his hand, becoming even more cautious about it.

When that time comes, Enlightenment Dragon Field will be a scourge.

This is second-hand insurance.

"call--"

He saw one mistake after another, which is understandable. After all, even with the "Kilin Jade", he is not a god, but a "person",

On the first day, Chen Bi just lived a normal life and did not go to Zhuoshen Building to study day and night.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Bi threw it on the "Zhuoshen Tower".

Chen Bi breathed out gently, letting out all the "turbidity" in his heart. He looked at the two items in his hands with a cautious look on his face.

This item can also only be used by the Chen family's bloodline, but the restrictions are more "complicated". In Chen Bi's view, the word "enlightenment" is too important. If you are not knowledgeable, you don't know what you will realize if you enlighten randomly. .

"Before the reform, the head of the family at that time would definitely go to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors."

This is the true principle of passing down poems and books from family to family.

"The Karma Talisman can monitor the thickness of the bloodline, and you can also check the cause and effect to judge the situation at that time, so that you will not be taken advantage of by traitors."

After enlightenment, a disciple of the Chen family will definitely be able to create a storm in his era.

On the tenth day, Chen Bi began to burn incense and bathe.

If the Chen family declines in later generations, as long as the children of the Chen family can patiently understand the truth of "reading to understand the truth" and "the book has its own golden house", and read the books in Zhuoshen Tower, they will be able to "enlighten the Tao".

It is also the most important insurance, which is the insurance when the "karma talisman" cannot play its role.

"In this way, we can not only ensure the inheritance of the Chen family in critical moments, but also avoid evildoers while our ancestors are sleeping."

On the twenty-first day, Chen Bi began to add "reading" to his life.

After all, it involves the level of "enlightenment", so caution is a must.

Therefore, he used the Chen family's "bloodline" and "power" in the unicorn jade to add a restriction to this "Enlightenment Dragon Field".

Only after reading "50%" of the books in Zhuoshen Tower can one gain a glimmer of "enlightenment" power from the Enlightenment Dragon Field.

This was a huge gain for him.

On the contrary, those who are "magnanimous" are closer to "holy".

The more people want to cover up their mistakes, the more they want to shape themselves into saints and gods, the more serious problems they have.

If such a person really exists, then you should investigate carefully.

At this time, Chen Bi's mentality was already very calm.

What he first read was not the teachings of saints and sages, but the "miscellaneous notes" or "travel notes" recorded by some of Chen's ancestors over the years.

After that, Chen Bi began to read some books from other factions, such as Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, Mingjia, Yin and Yang, etc.

Later, Chen Bi even began to read some books by "historians".

He began to read books before the Han Dynasty, such as the authentic books about that era written by Taishi, such as "Qin Shu", "Warring States Policy", "Spring and Autumn" and other books. Reading history can be wise.

This is a path chosen by Chen Bi.

After reading the history book, Chen Bi relaxed again.

Then, I started reading Legalist books.

After that, Chen Bi began to read the miscellaneous notes left by "Chen Ye", then "Reading Experience", and then the book "Chen Zi" compiled by Chen Shen and Chen Ye's students.

Finally, Chen Bi began to read and study the "first-hand books" left by Chen Ye. In the seventh year of the Second Yuan Dynasty, the "battle for the inheritance" that lasted for nearly five years ended in a joke-like way.

Dai Wang Oh no, Liu Wu, who had been renamed "King of Liang", was driven to the fiefdom by his father, the current emperor. Since then, there was only one prince left in the capital, the prince.

This is the emperor's explanation to the prince.

Almost all the "Confucians" and the Confucian family who tempted King Liang to rebel and stood on King Liang's side were demoted, and some even failed to retain their official status.

The emperor still had a hand in "Confucianism".

Because of the emperor's edict, Jia Yi was appointed as the tutor of the King of Liang to teach the King of Liang. However, the Prime Minister of the Liang Kingdom chose a "princeling" who was loyal to the court. The composition of that person was very complicated.

He is not only a "princeling", he is also a "Xianyang Academy lineage" and a "Chen Party".

Letting such a person become the Prime Minister of Liang had no intention of giving King Liang any chance. He just wanted King Liang to be controlled honestly.

The prince also saw the "trouble" in this, but he thought differently from other people in the world. He thought it was because the "emperor" showed mercy to Liu Wu, because Liu Qi understood one thing. Chen Dangzhong, The most "righteous".

Especially the one chosen by the emperor is a typical "gentleman".

East Palace
Liu Qi had sneers on his face. He looked at Chen Tuo who was sitting across from him and said, "Teacher, it seems that my father still has no intention of giving up on Prince Liang."

There was a strong look of exhaustion on his brows.

Chen Tuo didn't think so: "Your Highness is wrong."

He chuckled: "Your Highness has blamed the wrong person. The one you should blame is not the emperor, but the queen."

Chen Tuo's voice was cold: "The person who really promoted King Liang's ambition was not the emperor or the Confucianists, but the queen, your mother."

"And it was your mother, not the emperor, who prompted the emperor to let Prince Liang go."

"At most, the emperor only cares about the queen's thoughts, so he just borrows the donkey from the slope."

Liu Qi lowered his head, why wasn't he like that?

He sighed and his voice became even more tired: "But from the teacher's tone, could it be that I don't need to worry about Prince Liang anymore?"

Chen Tuo raised his head: "Yes, at least you don't have to think about it until you ascend the throne."

"If you don't need Prince Liang to do anything in the future, you don't have to consider Prince Liang's identity anymore. You can even start to deal with Prince Liang after the Queen dies."

Liu Qi looked at Chen Tuo and asked, "Sir, you also suggested leaving Prince Liang alone, right?"

He immediately heard the deep meaning in Chen Tuo's words.

Liu Qi frowned slightly and said, "What are your concerns, sir?"

Chen Tuo smiled and said nothing. He pointed to the Han map hanging on the wall of the East Palace: "Your Highness, if you take a closer look at the map, you will know the emperor's thoughts and the ministers' thoughts."

"Both the minister and the emperor have the same concerns."

"I have just now figured out the emperor's deep meaning."

"In the beginning, maybe the emperor really felt that the "King of Liang" was like him, but ever since the queen, Confucianism, and Prince Liang came up with the idea of ​​"the emperor's younger brother", the emperor was completely angry, and in this situation The extremely angry emperor maintained his absolute sanity."

"He saw a possibility."

"I thought of a way."

"Now the Emperor has not directly eradicated all hopes of Prince Liang and imprisoned him. Instead, he has changed his title to Prince of Liang. This is his idea."

"This is a speculation that is most consistent with the emperor's logic."

Hearing Chen Tuo's words, Liu Qi was startled, and then he began to look at the map of Kantu hanging behind him. After a simple look around, he immediately discovered the problem.

Liu Qi hesitated and said: "Is it the State of Wu? The State of Jing? The State of Chu?"

When thinking of this, Liu Qi looked at the geographical location of Liang State more carefully. He thought while looking at it and said: "The location of Liang State happens to be between these many feudal states. It can be regarded as the link between the imperial court and the feudal states. A barrier.”

"If the vassal states want to counterattack the imperial court and plot rebellion, they must penetrate the Liang Kingdom to do this."

"Unless they can fly."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible to break through the "artificial restriction" of Liang Guo."

The more he looked at the geographical location of Liang State, the more frightened Liu Qi felt. He turned his head, looked at Chen Tuo behind him and said, "Teacher, has Father been scheming from the beginning?"

"Is Father's plan so far-reaching?"

Chen Tuo closed his eyes and remembered what Chen Bi had said to him before he left some time ago.

He said with a somewhat complicated expression: "Actually, it's not just that."

"In the battles of the past few years, Your Majesty used this opportunity to test the Queen, Confucianism, Prince Liang, the Crown Prince, and the Chen family on the one hand, and on the other hand, he used this opportunity to wake up the Chen family and make her understand that she had taken the wrong path. "

"And while completing these things, His Majesty was even able to give birth to a son to prevent the princes from plotting rebellion."

Chen Tuo said softly: "Preparing against the princes and kings may have been a chess piece dropped by Your Majesty unintentionally, but this time King Wu just happened to bump into His Majesty's preparation, which further proves Your Majesty's wisdom."

Liu Qi still couldn't believe it.

Could it be that his seemingly benevolent father actually manipulated everyone in the court?
"But teacher, how are you sure?"

"Are you sure?"

At this point, Liu Qi couldn't believe it.

Chen Tuo's expression was equally complicated: "Your Highness, I have no evidence to prove this."

He said slightly silently: "However, your killing of Prince Wu is an "unpredictable" event. This event will most likely lead to King Wu having evil intentions and plotting to rebel after returning to his fiefdom."

"According to common sense, after His Majesty resolves this matter, he should reprimand you extremely angrily for this matter."

"At least worry about it."

"This is a normal reaction to being unprepared."

"But, so far, apart from simply scolding you, have you ever seen His Majesty get very upset about this matter?"

"No."

Chen Tuo and Liu Qi looked at each other and said in a steady voice: "Not once, the emperor even reacted very quickly and took advantage of the idiot "King of Liang" to change his title from "King of Dai" to King of Liang."

"Before this, the emperor never assigned any fiefdom to the king."
