Chapter 40: Those who govern Qin may not be Qin people

Qin Sheng didn't expect to hear such words from Chu Yian.

He just looked at Chu Yian, saw the seriousness in her eyes, saw her eyes as bright as stars and the eager anticipation for the future on her face.

She is so weak, yet so eccentric and rebellious.

But all kinds of thoughts in his mind always pop up strangely and pierce into Qin Sheng's heart like hooks.

The words just now were like thunder exploding in his ears. Apart from the Qin family, Qin Sheng had never heard anyone else say even a word that wanted to change the fate of the Qin family.

No one really expected the Qin family to exist forever.

The emperor hopes that the Qin family will become a sharp knife, but he is also afraid that the knife will hurt him in turn.

There were many ministers who understood the Qin family's situation, but they just watched coldly, as if everything had nothing to do with them.

The Qin family has been defending their country for so many years, but it seems like a joke.

But now Chu Yian said that she wanted to be Dapeng, the only one who could change the fate of the Qin family.

At that moment, Qin Sheng felt that his efforts over the years were not in vain, but at the same time, he also felt an uneasy restlessness deep in his heart, and his heart was beating like a drum.

He lowered his eyelashes and didn't look at Chu Yian. The smile that always appeared on the corner of his lips also faded: "If that's the case, it will be very hard. This road is not easy to walk."

Chu Yian didn't care: "Don't I have you? You help me write, I recite it, and then think about it. It's not as hard as you. When your leave is over, you still have to go to training. It will be even harder then."

Qin Sheng didn't say anything. The carriage shook all the way and finally arrived at the Duke's Mansion.

The whole day was spent on returning to my parents' home. When I got off the carriage and looked into the distance, I saw the night sky like ink pouring down from the horizon little by little, and the sky had already darkened.

After the two went to the main courtyard to meet Tao, they returned to Fuhua Courtyard together.

Chu Yian wanted to write the rest of the story as soon as possible, and Qin Sheng was also very much looking forward to it.

The two hit it off immediately and started to get busy after locking the servants outside.

Qin Sheng picked up the pen and paper. Chu Yian thought for a moment and said, "I just laid the groundwork earlier about the six kingdoms eyeing Qin covetously. Everyone wants to divide up Qin's land and make it disappear."

"Now let's write a little about the situation in Qin."

Qin Sheng nodded and did not question what to write.

To be honest, Qin Sheng was very curious whether the Qin State was the same as Dashun, or even stronger than Dashun, with more elite soldiers.

Otherwise, how could it rise step by step to become an empire under the siege of the six countries?

As he listened to Chu Yian's words and wrote them down word by word on paper, his expression became increasingly heavy.

The Qin State described by Chu Yian was not a powerful country, and was even considered very weak among the seven countries.

Poor, very poor, and short of people.

The army was poorly equipped, and most of the old Qin soldiers who had retired from the battlefield were disabled, and some even lost their hands or legs, but they could not even get any pension.

The old Qin people are also full of complaints. They live in poverty, have a hard time, and have a miserable life.

But in such a situation, they still remembered the words that everyone from the king to the common people knew: Let us, the brave old Qin, face the national crisis together.

Duke Xian of Qin died and Duke Xiao succeeded him. Soon after he took the throne, he received news from Jing Jian, the messenger of the Golden Arrow Order, that the six-nation alliance was discussing Qin's major plans.

After receiving the news, the young king did not panic or cry helplessly, but immediately called people together to discuss countermeasures.

From their discussions, Qin Sheng further understood how poor this country was.

Let’s put it this way, in his impression, Dashun has never been so poor.

Even when our ancestors followed Emperor Taizu to build the country, they were not so poor.

The poverty is heartbreaking.

During the discussion, Duke Xiao of Qin always maintained a humble attitude and listened carefully to everyone's words.

However, he also felt that the current Qin State was too weak. If the six countries joined forces to attack Qin, the life of Qin State would probably be coming to an end.

It’s just that the old Qin people have a spirit in their bones, which is strong, upright, brave and fearless.

If there is really no way out, everyone will draw their swords and fight to the last moment.

Qin Sheng picked up the pen and wrote eight more words on the paper: I will never turn back even if I die.

The king was moved, his voice hoarse: "Ying Quliang's blood will be shed with the old Qin people."

Qin Sheng didn't know what kind of mood he was in when he continued to write the following content. His mind seemed to have been drawn to Qin Xiaogong.

As he wrote this, the various difficulties facing this country had already appeared before his eyes.

Qin Sheng put himself in the shoes of the above person. If he were in the position of Qin Xiaogong, he would probably be scared to death when he heard about the six countries plotting against Qin.

I was afraid that they would attack the capital tomorrow and couldn't sleep at night.

Under such circumstances, the Qin State was able to grow step by step into an empire. The situation faced by Dashun was much better than that of Qin. Why should it spend all its energy just to defend its own piece of land and prevent neighboring countries from invading?

Qin Shengzhen once again felt the incompetence of the current emperor.

But the stories he wrote were just stories after all. Chu Yian described the Qin State's situation as too bad, and described the national conditions as so poor that no one knew how the country could turn things around.

Chu Yian's story continues. She seems to feel that Qin's situation is still too good, and adds some difficulties to Qin.

The Qin State was in a difficult situation, but it was mostly due to external factors.

Our unity does not mean we cannot fight the enemy.

But in such a situation, the six countries sent merchant spies to sneak into Qin, one to investigate military intelligence, and the other to spread rumors to cause panic and create chaos.

They leaked the news that the six kingdoms were dividing Qin, hoping to divide the upper class of Qin and disintegrate the stubborn old Qin people.

However, within just a few hours, the bad news had spread, and people's fears were contagious, invisibly exaggerating the fear and panic.

The entire Luyang fell into panic overnight.

The emergence of such a big problem within the company at this critical juncture has invisibly increased the pressure on senior officials.

But Qin Sheng himself was a general, and he knew very well that panic was inevitable when he heard that he was being discussed by an alliance of other countries. However, how to deal with this matter quickly to minimize the problem was also a problem.

Fortunately, Duke Xiao of Qin handled the situation well and did not let the panic spread indefinitely.

As time passed, Chu Yian's story finally reached another critical point.

Under the guidance of an expert, Duke Xiao of Qin issued an order to seek talented people.

Those who govern Qin are not necessarily Qin people. If you tie your own hands and feet, how can you have a long-term vision?

Therefore, Qin Xiaogong's target of seeking talents shifted from Qin to other countries, searching for talents all over the world.

If you have great talent, you must be given important positions.
