Chapter 65 Are you coming to see me?
Qin Sheng didn't give a perfunctory answer. After some serious thought, he said, "Wei Yang is a man of great talent. I can see that Duke Xiao is indeed determined to reform and strengthen the country."
"However, if we want to truly promote the 'Nine Essays on Governing Qin', I'm afraid it will be difficult."
The nobles are not happy if their interests are affected.
The system of collective responsibility implicates ordinary people, and the people are not happy about it.
The collective responsibility also mentions the prohibition of private fighting. You should know that private fighting in Qin State is very serious. If you are not careful, you will break the law and implicate other people to be punished as well. Can the people support this?
The only ones who supported Wei Yang were probably Qin Xiaogong and his confidants.
Under such circumstances, Qin Sheng couldn't imagine how determined Qin Xiaogong must be to implement these laws and regulations.
He also became increasingly curious about how Qin Xiaogong would implement these harsh laws.
Wei Yang studied the reform so thoroughly that he understood the difficulty of the reform much better than Qin Sheng.
After having a long chat with Qin Xiaogong and telling him about his strategy for governing Qin, he told Qin Xiaogong that if the reform was to succeed, at least three conditions had to be met.
First, a group of people who supported the reform were promoted to important positions. With their support, the laws could be implemented quickly.
Secondly, once the new law is implemented, it cannot avoid the powerful and wealthy, and it must truly ensure that the emperor is punished the same as the common people when he breaks the law.
Third, Wei Yang needed Qin Xiaogong to have complete trust in him and must not be instigated by others.
With so many examples of failed reforms before his eyes, Duke Xiao of Qin certainly knew that if he did not trust Wei Yang, the reform would inevitably fail.
Strengthening Qin was Duke Xiao's lifelong wish, and even death could not stop him from making Qin stronger.
He promised Wei Yang, "You and I are king and subject, and I will never let you down for the rest of my life."
However, these are all records in history books. Chu Yian really doesn't know whether Qin Xiaogong really said so.
However, given the importance that Duke Xiao of Qin placed on Wei Yang, Chu Yi'an was more inclined to believe that Duke Xiao had promised him that he would serve the king until the end of the Qin Dynasty and would never let him down.
But later on it was not done, so it might have been changed quietly.
Of course, this is just speculation.
This part of the content finally came to an end. Chu Yian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and looked at Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng was seen holding the paper he had just written and looking at it. His eyes seemed to be on the paper, and he looked a little absent-minded.
Chu Yian waved his hand in front of Qin Sheng, but failed to draw his attention back.
She simply withdrew her hand and looked at Qin Sheng quietly, seeing all kinds of emotions surging in Qin Sheng's eyes, and finally disappeared in the dark eyes.
Chu Yian is not smart, but he knows that Qin Sheng is probably thinking of the person above him again.
He always couldn't help comparing Qin Xiaogong with the person above, and he felt particularly distressed every time he made the comparison.
Chu Yian didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only sit aside and accompany him.
She didn't want to bring in her modern thinking and tell Qin Sheng that since the emperor had let the Qin family down, he should rebel.
Rebellion is not easy, and it cannot be successful with just one sentence.
This is secondary. The main reason is that modern people are rebellious, but the ancients valued integrity.
Many people would rather die than be branded as a rebel. If their reputation is tarnished, they would rather die.
Chu Yian knew that Qin Sheng was not such a person, and Qin Sheng was also rebellious.
But what about the rest of the Qin family? Do they have the same idea as Qin Sheng?
Moreover, the higher-ups are watching so closely and are on guard against the Qin family to such an extent that any move they make will be easily discovered.
Rebellion is not so easy to succeed, it will only make the Qin family fall into the abyss faster.
Fortunately, Qin Sheng didn't let himself go for too long. He calmly put the paper away and looked up at Chu Yian: "Do you want to continue today?"
Chu Yian glanced at the sky and shook his head: "No, rest early today. I still have to go out with Nian Yao for boating tomorrow. You are also tired all day, so you should rest early too."
Qin Sheng said okay, tidied up the paper he had written, and then went to sleep on the soft couch beside him.
He seemed unusually silent today, and spoke much less than before.
Chu Yian pursed his lips, trying to persuade Qin Sheng not to think too much, but finally gave up.
She climbed into bed, closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.
Chu Yi An woke up at dawn the next day. When he turned his head to look at the couch, Qin Sheng was gone.
Remembering that Sheng Nian Yao would come to pick her up later, Chu Yian simply got up, but when she opened the door, she didn't see Qin Sheng practicing martial arts in the yard.
He gets up very early every day, but usually practices martial arts in the yard. Why is he not here today?
Chu Yian frowned, feeling a little worried, and hurriedly called Qin San out to ask.
"Where did Qin Sheng go?"
Qin San lowered his head and said, "Madam, something happened outside the city in the middle of the night, and the general went out to deal with it."
Chu Yian felt relieved. As long as nothing happened, it was good. She was afraid that Qin Sheng would get too obsessed with something.
After pulling Xiao Fu out of bed and helping her wash and eat something, the two of them waited obediently for Sheng Nian Yao to come.
Chu Yian didn't have to wait too long. In just an incense stick's time, Sheng Nianyao's carriage arrived outside the Duke's Mansion.
When Chu Yian went out, she saw that Sheng Nianyao had brought many people with her. She immediately gave up the idea of bringing anyone else with her, and happily took Xiaofu to get on Sheng Nianyao's carriage.
Sheng Nianyao was particularly happy when she saw her, and her eyes were even brighter than Chu Yian's.
"Sister Chu, I haven't seen you for two days. Do you miss me?"
Chu Yian nodded hurriedly: "I miss you so much. I wanted to go find you yesterday, but something delayed me and I didn't go."
Sheng Nianyao's eyes became brighter, and upon closer inspection, her pretty little face was flushed.
"Sister Chu, come and see me in the future. You don't need to send me a visiting card. Just come directly. Besides going out with you, I don't have anyone else to hang out with."
"I'm bored staying at home every day. I want to come see you, but I'm afraid to disturb you and General Qin."
Chu Yian hurriedly shook his head: "It's okay, you can come whenever you want, but you know, I go out occasionally, so I might need to trouble you to ask someone to tell me before you come, otherwise I'm afraid you'll make a wasted trip."
Sheng Nianyao nodded without lowering the corners of her lips. Looking into Chu Yian's eyes, her face turned even redder.
She slowly reached out and tentatively grabbed Chu Yian's hand. Seeing that she didn't pull back, she immediately held it tighter.
Why would Sister Chu, such a good person, marry someone as ridiculous as Qin Sheng?
Chu Yian had no idea what Sheng Nianyao was thinking.
As soon as she saw Sheng Nianyao, she couldn't help but think of the task assigned by the system that she had not completed yet. She was really distressed. She couldn't even see Liu.
After thinking for a while, she suddenly asked, "Nian Yao, can I come to your house to play with you tomorrow? Will it bother you?"
Sheng Nianyao's eyes trembled, and thousands of stars appeared in them: "You, are you coming to see me?"
Chu Yian hummed, and she quickly shook her head: "Don't disturb me, not at all, Chu, Sister Chu, you can come to see me whenever you want, I am happy to stay with you."
Chu Yian's beautiful eyes curved up, and he also shook her hand: "I didn't visit Madam Sheng last time I went to the Sheng family. It was really rude. This time I have to visit her."
"But I can't go empty-handed. Nian Yao, do you know what Madam Sheng likes? I'll have someone prepare it in advance."
