Chapter 23: The Poisonous Oath
Chen Sheng saw that the teacher's expression was solemn, and he seemed to have a major problem in his heart. On the other hand, Tian Peng, Tian Peng's expression was also solemn at this time, and he was also very concerned about the fate of this empire that destroyed his mother country
Chen Sheng hesitated in his heart. He knew that the Qin Dynasty in history was a short-lived dynasty. The reason for his short life is also well known, but whether these words can be said to the teacher and Tian Peng is a big question. Among these two people, although Wei Yu is old, his body and bones are excellent, and it is very likely that he will live for more than ten or twenty years. And Tian Peng is younger than him, and he has a great chance to witness everything he said. Although Chen Sheng is determined to change everything, he himself is not sure whether the direction of history can be changed by him and others. Chen Shengke definitely didn't want to be treated like a monster. So he had to think carefully about these words.
After a while, Chen Shengcai summed up his words and said slowly: "Since the three generations, Xia has been replaced by Shang, Shang has been replaced by Zhou, and since the Western Zhou Dynasty, the world has been divided for hundreds of years, great powers have merged, countless countries have been destroyed, and the Qin State has come out of the world. ”
"The dynasties of the past and present dynasties have fallen for nothing more than this: the monarch is ignorant and incompetent, extravagant and profligate and rejoices in great achievements, and likes to conquer but has no military achievements and does not know how to end. The government is corrupt, the people can hardly bear the exploitation and the riots are incessant, first of all, it collapses from the inside, and once there is an external force, it may lead to the collapse and disintegration, the country is ruined, and the family is ruined. ”
Chen Sheng explained cautiously. Wei Yi and Tian Peng nodded yes on the side. Chen Sheng's words basically said the law of the rise and fall of ancient and modern dynasties.
However, Chen Sheng continued to change his words and said: "Now the empire is strong, the emperor is wise and wise, and the heroes are mighty. Under the emperor, the empire must be as solid as a rock. But the emperor is also a great emperor, know and do not know how to retreat, the future conquest will inevitably be a lot, if the exhaustion of national strength to conquer and do not know to recuperate, the crisis caused by the empire is also incalculable, if there is no good at the people's livelihood and economy of the prince to succeed, then the empire will be like a gorgeous car and horse running to the cliff, I am afraid it will be shattered. ”
Hearing this, Wei Yi and Tian Peng's breathing was heavy suddenly. Chen Sheng's words were just a brief analysis, but both of them are smart people, so they can naturally draw inferences from each other and bypass the analogy. Naturally, I was able to associate more things. An old man like Wei Yu, who has been by the emperor's side for decades, knows the emperor's temper even more, since the emperor unified the six countries, the arrogance and arrogance that has been suppressed for a long time in his heart have begun to emerge, so how can the king not like the sound of dogs and horses, magnificent? In the past, the emperor was hard and simple, and treated people politely, because he wanted to recruit talented and wise people from all over the world to give advice to him to dominate the world.
Thinking of this, Wei Yu's heart sank. He knew very well that the emperor needed a good minister by his side who could remind him of his sobriety. But is there anything around the emperor?
Wei Yi pondered for a while, and after a while, he sighed again.
Since sweeping the Six Kingdoms, the ministers who used to support each other have fallen into the struggle for power, countless loyal old ministers have withdrawn from the power center of the empire in the struggle, and countless new stars have stepped towards the imperial court, making Wei Yi a little disheartened. All this happened secretly planned by the emperor, and the emperor, who was proficient in the three methods of the Legalist master Han Fei's "law, technique, and power" to control the ministers of the world, played the ministers in the palm of his hand and no one knew. Because he saw through this, Wei Yi was even more disappointed in Xianyang and chose to leave this Vanity Fair.
Seeing that he had finished speaking, and that both the teacher and Tian Peng had fallen into silence, Chen Sheng was slightly surprised. He looked at the teacher, but saw that the teacher seemed to be in a deep dive at the moment, as if he was thinking about something important. And Tian Peng seemed to have thought of some problem at the moment, and fell into an infinite entanglement.
Chen Sheng was a little surprised by the silence between the two. After a while, Wei Yi let out a heavy breath of turbidity, as if he had decided something in his heart. Chen Sheng naturally didn't know what the teacher was thinking, and Wei Yu's decision was to train Chen Sheng as soon as possible to become a good minister who could influence the emperor's decision. With his current status and esteemed status in front of the emperor, he personally recommended Chen Sheng in the past, and the emperor naturally would not abandon it at will.
However, Wei Yu now seems that although Chen Sheng has great talents, he is not familiar with the military politics of the empire, and he is not well versed in all kinds of treacherous things in the officialdom, Chen Sheng is only fifteen years old, even if he gets the emperor's favor, he will become the target of public criticism, and will inevitably be suppressed by the strength of all parties, with Chen Sheng's experience, how can he be the opponent of those old foxes who hold a lot of power? You have to sharpen it for two years before you can do it. At this moment, I was secretly thinking about how to quickly train Chen Sheng to become a good person who can stabilize the country and govern the world with martial arts.
And after Wei Yi made a decision, Tian Peng seemed to have figured out the confusion in his heart, struggled to ignore the cracked wounds on his body, "plopped", knelt down in the direction of Wei Yi, and said loudly: "Please take Tian Peng as an apprentice from the master!" Tian Peng is willing to saddle the horse before and after, serve the master, and listen to the teachings! Tian Peng is very smart, after listening to the answer between the two, he already knows that this master and apprentice are extraordinary, although he doesn't know how prestigious Wei Yi is, but he knows that with Chen Sheng's intelligence, in the past seven warring states, with his ability to lobby any country, he can be appreciated, and be treated as a national soldier. Seeing such a famous teacher and apprentice, Tian Peng naturally yearned for it.
Wei Yijian's eyebrows frowned slightly, he couldn't imagine that this Tian Peng would have such thoughts about him. Chen Sheng hurriedly went over to help Tian Peng. Although Tian Peng was injured, he still had some strength, and tried his best not to let Chen Sheng help him up, and under the struggle, the wounds on his body burst out, and blood flowed out again.
Seeing Tian Peng's appearance, Wei Yi smiled indifferently. He had observed Tian Peng's physiognomy and knew that Tian Peng's fate was bumpy, but he and Chen Sheng had the destiny of supporting each other, and he also had the intention of including Tian Peng as a student under his knees. If he hadn't met Chen Sheng first, Tian Peng's intelligence would have been enough to make him excited.
"It's okay to worship my teacher, but when you become my student, you have to make a poisonous oath, can you do it?" Wei Yi said with a smile.
"As long as the teacher allows, don't say one, even a hundred!" Tian Peng saw that Wei Yi was refreshed, and while he was excited, his voice trembled a little.
"A hundred is not necessary, but this one oath is not easy to do, you have to think about it. I know that after your Qi nobles, you have a lot of treasures and are trying to restore, but I want you to swear that you will not oppose Qin in this life. ”
