Chapter 219 How long will it take for the Qin State to achieve unification?
Qin Huaishu sighed and looked at Qin Sheng: "Are you happy?"
Qin Sheng forced himself to suppress his laughter, coughed and composed himself: "Not bad."
Chu Yian blinked his big eyes and looked at Qin Huaishu expectantly: "Brother, do you want me to write two articles to demonstrate to you?"
"I try to stick to the unofficial history as much as possible."
Qin Huaishu: ...
Qin Sheng laughed again.
Qin Huaishu looked at Chu Yian, then at Qin Sheng, and readily agreed: "Write Xiao Shengzi in as well."
Qin Sheng: ...
Qin Sheng couldn't laugh anymore and glared at him.
Chu Yian couldn't help laughing: "Okay, then when I have time, I will write an article for you two and have someone print it out so that more people can see it."
Qin Sheng: ...
There is no need for that.
Qin Sheng really didn't want to continue this topic, so he quickly said, "Let's continue, continue."
Chu Yian glanced at the two brothers and stopped teasing them.
But I am full of anticipation for Qin Huaishu's fan essay, and I will have to think about it carefully later.
After talking with Sima Cuo, Zhang Yi returned home, but when he got home he heard a piece of news that he couldn't believe.
Ying Si has often felt a puff of wind on his head recently, and the attacks have become more and more frequent, tormenting him to the point of becoming emaciated and gray-haired.
The doctors could not cure his illness and could only suggest that he seek help from a "folk dredge".
That group of alchemists claimed that they could communicate with ghosts and gods, drive away evil spirits, and prolong life.
But Ying Si refused. How could he, the king of a country, believe such words?
After hearing about this, Zhang Yi hurried to see Ying Si. Ying Si knew that he didn't have much time left, but there were still some things that worried him.
He had several sons, among whom his eldest son Yingdang and youngest son Yingji were the ones he valued the most.
Yingdang was very brave, but he was unstable and impetuous.
Ying Si originally wanted Zhang Yi to teach Ying Dang, but he accidentally found a useful person, Gan Mao, so he appointed Gan Mao as Ying Dang's teacher.
Yingji was mature and calm despite his young age.
Ying Si, however, felt that he lacked some strength.
In order to temper his son's character, he sent Yingji to the State of Yan, but now he wants to call him back.
But if Qin returned at this time, it would inevitably be caught up in a power struggle.
Ying Si’s time of consciousness was getting shorter and shorter. Once they started fighting, he knew that he would not be able to protect his son.
Ying Si didn't know what to do and wanted Zhang Yi to make a decision.
However, after Zhang Yi became the prime minister of Qin, he had been traveling abroad and knew nothing about the situation of the princes, so he was unable to judge.
After much thought, Zhang Yi also advised Ying Si to ask someone to find an alchemist. Maybe those alchemists could really cure him?
Ying Si didn't want to do it at first, but now that even Zhang Yi said so, he had no choice but to give it a try.
So Zhang Yi set out for Qi State again to find an alchemist for Ying Si.
Although the people left, he made careful arrangements in Xianyang.
Zhang Yi arrived in Qi State quickly. He went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but found that the Mansion was surrounded by many armored soldiers holding long swords.
When he entered the Prime Minister's residence, he found that Su Qin was bedridden.
Su Qin was assassinated and felt better after taking medicine, but everyone knew that he didn't have much time to live.
Su Qin still had many things he couldn't let go of. After being defeated by Zhang Yi, he felt guilty towards the State of Chu.
Qu Yuan's story also kept him awake at night.
He told Chunshen Jun that he must find a way to bring Qu Yuan back. Only if Qu Yuan came back could the Chu State reform again, and the Chu State would have a future.
Just then the King of Qi came and asked him who had assassinated him.
Su Qin didn't know, but he knew it must be those who hated the reform.
He instructed the King of Qi to have him torn to pieces after his death, to lure out the murderer, and then to eliminate the restoration forces in one fell swoop.
After saying this, Su Qin breathed his last in front of the King of Qi, ending his eventful life.
Chu Yian stopped and sighed.
It is rare to see such a talented person in an era of great contention. Although the coalition he promoted was very fragile, it did prevent the expansion of Qin to a certain extent and maintained the balance and stability of the situation during the Warring States Period.
It is still a pity that he died like this now.
However, compared to lamenting Su Qin's death, Ying Si's sudden serious illness made Qin Sheng and Qin Huaishu's moods more ups and downs.
This is already the second generation of kings.
But now the Qin State has also suffered a lot of damage after the previous war with the Chu State.
As it stands now, although the Qin State is still powerful, it is indeed difficult for people to see the hope of it unifying the six states.
I don’t know how many more kings I will have to go through in the future.
Moreover, if it really came to a critical moment of life and death, the six countries might unite to resist Qin.
The Qin State currently...at least for a long time to come, probably does not have that kind of strength.
Qin Sheng asked the same question again: "How long did it take for Qin to unify the six kingdoms? How many generations of monarchs did it take?"
Chu Yian smiled. Qin Sheng was about to leave, so she didn't keep it a secret any longer: "Excite the remaining energy of the six generations, and use the long strategy to rule the world."
"It started with Duke Xiao of Qin, and was followed by King Huiwen of Qin, King Wu of Qin, King Zhaoxiang of Qin, King Xiaowen of Qin, and King Zhuangxiang of Qin. It was not until King Zheng of Qin that the country was finally unified."
"How many years it takes depends on when you start counting."
"If we count from the time Shang Yang's reforms, when Qin officially began its journey to becoming stronger, then it would have cost..."
Chu Yian stretched out his fingers and counted, 356 BC, 221 BC: "Almost 135 years."
However, the Qin Dynasty's unification is generally not counted from that early, but rather from after Ying Zheng ascended the throne and began to closely deploy and arrange the war to unify the six kingdoms.
Qin Sheng was stunned. Although he knew that unification was difficult, it was beyond his expectation that it would take so many years.
I thought that with Qin's current momentum, it wouldn't take that long if we were lucky.
Qin Huaishu pondered for three seconds, somewhat puzzled: "Why are all the other kings called Qin Wangzhi, but the last one is Qin Wangzheng?"
Chu Yian: ...
Here he goes again. When will he stop being so sharp?
It's terrible, brother. I knew I couldn't say too much in front of Qin Huaishu.
Chu Yian glared at Qin Huaishu: "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!"
Qin Huaishu: ...
Qin Huaishu lowered his head and said timidly, "Okay."
Chu Yian's tone became even more fierce: "Really, little kids, don't think too much all day long, it's easy to go bald, you know?"
“It’s really not reassuring at all!”
Qin Huaishu: ...
Qin Huaishu opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
Little, little child?
he?
Does Chu Yian remember that he is the eldest brother and older than them?
Can he be called a child at his age?
Qin Sheng was also very surprised, and finally asked a question that he had always been curious about but was too embarrassed to ask: "How old were you... before?"
