"Chen Ping, do you think King Qin's will can really be reversed by just one person?" Zhang Cang said in a deep voice.
Zhang Cang liked the various systems of the Qin Dynasty very much, but this did not prevent him from thinking that the Qin State was in danger of subjugation.
Zhao Si is just a minister.
How long has it been now?
There are so many people close to the king. Zhang Cang does not think that Zhao Si has the qualifications to reverse the will of the First Emperor and lower the price of salt. It is just a small matter, but to reverse the fate of the Qin Dynasty's imminent demise, Zhao Si, a minister, Can you really carry it?
"Besides... Zhao Si is just a lieutenant now. Although he is close to the king, he joined the official position too late and is a low-key person. And my senior brother..." Zhang Cang sighed.
He knows senior brother Li Si very well.
People who can accomplish great things must be talented, and if a talented person is close to the king, senior brother will probably not tolerate him.
Zhang Cang knew very well how powerful his senior brother Li Si was.
Senior brother Li Si really can't see the various hidden dangers in Qin today? Zhang Cang believed that this was not the case. Li Si had ambitions, but his ambitions had to give way to power, and power came from the will of the First Emperor.
The first emperor's will was to speed up, and Li Si could only widen the road and become a paper framer.
If someone had the ability to reverse the collapse of the Qin Dynasty and the closeness to reverse the will of the First Emperor, then such a person would probably not be accepted by senior brother Li Si.
…
As soon as Zhang Cang spoke, Chen Ping fell into silence.
Chen Ping and Li Si had little interaction, mainly because Zhang Cang complained too much to Chen Ping.
After Zhang Cang was drunk, he angrily accused Li Si of killing Han Fei...
Zhao Si, a small minister, is indeed not enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility of turning around the situation in Da Qin.
Li Si can tolerate others, but only if they do not pose a threat to him.
Is there anything in the world that can make Li Si give up his power?
Greater power? Greater fame? And greater trust from the First Emperor?
Obviously, this is impossible.
Objectively speaking, Li Si is the left prime minister of the Qin Dynasty. To reverse the fate of the Qin Dynasty, we cannot avoid Li Si, the three most powerful men. Can Li Si really cooperate with the future Zhao Si?
Not to mention, Zhao Si is just a minister now, and he is soft-spoken. When he grows up enough to interfere with the progress of Da Qin, I am afraid that the day lily will be cold...
"I know that you have learned a lot and are eager to display your talents, but I can't see clearly what the world is like now. Let's just wait and see..." Zhang Cang sighed.
"The Zhao Si you are talking about cannot be considered to be someone who can turn around the situation in Da Qin simply by arguing for a reduction in the price of official salt. Maybe he has greater ambitions... and more cruel ideas in his heart!" Zhang Cang began to persuade.
"I know, but my brother has supported me for many years, but I eat and drink for free and do nothing to cultivate. How can I bear to see my brother working hard in the fields and even being laughed at by others?" Chen Ping sighed because of this.
Heroes are often trapped in reality.
Now, no matter how ambitious and knowledgeable Chen Ping is, he still has to face embarrassment.
The family is very poor!
In ancient times, it was extremely difficult to support a scholar who was completely free from work.
The Chen family's financial resources have been emptied out during his study tours. His brother, Uncle Chen, has incurred a lot of foreign debts in order to support his studies while traveling around the world. He is thin and looks three cents older than his peers.
Uncle Chen has a preference for his younger brother Chen Ping. It is not an empty saying that an elder brother is like a father. Uncle Chen has not complained a word about supporting Chen Ping. He even regards Chen Ping as the pride of the Chen family and feels that Chen Ping's talent is the capital of his pride.
Because his wife complained that Chen Ping was eating and drinking for free if he was not busy with childbirth, Uncle Chen was even more angry and divorced his wife.
Yes, Uncle Chen never thought that his younger brother Chen Ping was dragging him down.
He always believed that it was him, the elder brother, who was incompetent and failed to give his younger brother a better education and to develop his talents.
Because of this, Chen Ping acted openly and aboveboard, but had a guilty conscience.
He is ashamed of his brother.
This is also the fundamental reason why Chen Ping is eager to become an official.
Even the idea of making his brother feel proud outweighed the idea of him using his talents.
He really wanted his brother, Uncle Chen, to live a good life, and told him that you were right, your brother was capable.
Chen Ping benefited a lot from the exchanges between Zhang Cang and Chen Ping, and because of this, he was able to learn about the situation in the world, the situation in the court, and the current situation of the Qin Dynasty, instead of just studying.
Zhang Cang repeatedly persuaded Chen Ping to wait and see secretly, and he was sure that the Qin Dynasty would be destroyed.
Chen Ping is a smart man. He thinks Zhang Cang is right, but apart from being an official in Qin, where can he go to display his talents with pride?
It is true that this is the last year of the dynasty. No matter how the Qin State is in danger of subjugation, it will not be divided into separate forces everywhere. Is it possible to become someone else's guest and pay tribute to others? Chen Ping was unwilling in his heart.
Only the monstrous wealth is worthy of the brother's dedication for more than ten years!
This was also the fundamental reason why he had the idea of becoming an official after hearing that Qin had an unexpected anomaly.
Of course he hoped that the Qin State would not perish, otherwise the world would be in chaos. With such a bleak look, he had no place to even submit his resume.
Either don't die and let me go to work!
Either die quickly, fast forward to a time when heroes are vying for supremacy, dividing the world, and I can easily choose a company to work for!
This is Chen Ping's simple and simple thought. He hopes that the world will hurry up and compete with others, and he also hopes that the King of Qin can reverse his will and prevent it from suddenly collapsing, so that he can have a place to display his abilities.
There is no sense of family and country in this era, and Chen Ping is not from the old Qin. If the Qin State cannot provide him with a job, then he will die as soon as possible.
Zhang Cang knew Chen Ping's predicament and just smiled and said: "A gentleman will not care about the ridicule of others."
"I may not care about other people's ridicule, but I can't care about my brother!" Chen Ping frowned.
"Then just marry Zhang Fu's daughter..." Zhang Cang finally saw the situation, clasped his hands and looked at Chen Ping.
As expected, Chen Ping began to hesitate with shame on his face.
"Staying at the widow's house overnight, you don't care about other people's ridicule, don't you care about others ridiculing Mrs. Zhang?" Zhang Cang had a cold expression on his face.
"I'm not... of course I care, but..." Chen Ping shook his head.
It’s a long story, but a long story short.
Frustrated after drinking, Chen Ping was handsome, tall, and widowed in the tavern, so he fell in love with him at first sight, so he fell asleep like this.
Mrs. Zhang fell in love with Chen Ping at first sight. Chen Ping couldn't argue. He really took advantage of her, but he didn't want to marry a widow.
It's Zhang's reputation, of course, not the beauty...
Mr. Zhang was married five times, and married five unlucky men, none of whom survived more than a year.
"You don't care! You are just greedy for her body, you are despicable!" Zhang Cang looked at her coldly.
Zhang's surname is Zhang... Zhang Cang is also surnamed Zhang.
The two are related. Strictly speaking, Zhang is Zhang Cang's niece. Zhang Cang even hugged her when she was a child.
It can be said that Mrs. Zhang fell in love with Chen Ping at first sight, and she didn’t want to eat or drink. Zhang’s father, Zhang Zheng, was helpless. He knew that his daughter was famous, so he promised a large dowry. It can be said that he gave up half of his family property to marry his daughter off. Chen Ping.
Attention, it’s marriage!
The matchmaker is marrying, not as a bride-in-law!
I already thought highly of Chen Ping, but who would have thought that Chen Ping would push the envelope and leave.
Zhang Cang certainly has enough qualifications to be angry.
"I'm not...I didn't..." Chen Ping shook his head.
To be honest, Mrs. Zhang is very beautiful, but Chen Ping can't get over this hurdle in his heart... It would be a lie to say that he doesn't like Mrs. Zhang, but Chen Ping has great ambitions. Mrs. Zhang has been married to five husbands, and she is also known as her husband. Ping must have some hesitation in his heart.
He just didn't expect... Zhang was Zhang Cang's niece.
"Then marry! I will believe you if you marry me!" Zhang Cang said calmly.
"Do you care about her wife's reputation? Or do you care about other people's gossip? You are a gentleman, are you willing to watch others gossip about her? Did she take the initiative to move you to the bed?" Zhang Cang asked one after another. road.
It really is……
Of course, Chen Ping didn't dare to say it.
After all, Chen Ping is a young man who wants to save face, and the dowry given by the Zhang family is really generous... Now Zhang Cang is in charge, and Chen Ping also likes the Zhang family, so he can only accept it half-heartedly.
And while the two were talking...
Suddenly, a minister rushed in so hurriedly that he didn't even have time to kneel down and salute.
"Master! A man in golden armor is coming towards home with a group of cavalry!"
Li Chen was out of breath. His master, Zhang Cang, was originally on the run. Although there was a cover in the countryside, he still had to send people to keep an eye on the situation nearby to avoid being caught in a trap.
"Why are you panicking? Do you know why? Besides, they may not be here to catch me. How long have I been on the run?" Zhang Cang frowned.
"The county magistrate sent someone to contact and inquire, but he was driven away before he got close. He just rode straight towards this direction. I don't know why. I am scared and not sure. The master is a fugitive. Please leave. Go underground and take shelter temporarily, just in case!" Li Chen bowed and spoke.
"How many people are here?" Zhang Cang asked.
"There are about a hundred cavalrymen, all wearing swords and armor, and carrying powerful slaves. The leader is holding a big halberd. There is a big bow hanging on the side of the horse. They are all dressed in golden armor. They are extraordinary..."
I asked you to report the fucking situation, not to hear you brag about how fierce others are.
Zhang Cang's thoughts changed rapidly. It was not that everyone knew that he ran back to his hometown. In fact, many members of his family knew about it, and a few of his friends also knew about it.
Chen Ping also knows!
Are you really here to catch yourself?
As for such a big movement? There are more than a hundred fully armored cavalry, and they also bring a fierce general brother, which is enough to compete with the county soldiers of Yangwu County.
"No, I have to avoid it..." Zhang Cang thought for a while, but still made the plan to run away and wait and see.
"Chen Ping, my subordinates are afraid of power. If they really come to arrest me, I'm afraid they won't be able to deal with it. Please help me deal with it."
Well... they don't know who Chen Ping is anyway.
