Chapter 193: Sit down and taste courage
Qinshan, the first generation head of the Qin family, came from Qinjia Village in Lishan.
In this era when aristocratic families control everything, Qinshan, who was born as a commoner, built a huge foundation in Guanzhong alone and with his bare hands. This is definitely a legend.
However, Qin Shan worked hard all his life, but he only did two things, one was to destroy the Han Dynasty, and the other was to restore the country.
In order to restore the country, Qin Shan accumulated family property, made good friends with the Guanzhong family, and tried his best to train his five sons. Unfortunately, although the five sons were all excellent, they did not have the qualifications to be emperors.
In the end, Qin Shan chose his grandson, who was born to be a saint, and even risked the family's disintegration, passing the title of head of the family to Qin Wen, the most mediocre of the five sons.
In order to destroy the Han Dynasty, Qin Shan castrated his beloved youngest son and sent him to the palace as a **** to destroy the enemy from within.
Don't underestimate eunuchs. There are countless examples in history of countries being destroyed because of eunuchs, such as Zhao Gao of Qin, Shi Changshi of Han, Huang Hao of Shu, etc.
Pre-Qin Dynasty died at the hands of Zhao Gao, and Qinshan wanted Qin Rang to become the second Zhao Gao. After all, the interior of any fortress is the most fragile.
It’s just that I’m afraid even Qin Shan himself didn’t expect that his son would be so successful.
Over the years, Qin Rang has been maneuvering among the major forces, taking advantage of the conflicts between the imperial court, aristocratic families, and major factions, and has pushed the Han Dynasty to the edge of the cliff.
Generally speaking, Qin Shan's two plans were very successful. Who would have thought that Qin Rang, the fifth oldest member of the Qin family, was actually the first of the ten constant servants of Cholera Chao Gang.
Who would have thought that Qin Wen, the prefect of Yanmen, who was famous far and wide and loyal to the Han Dynasty, would be bent on destroying the Han Dynasty, and the Qin family was actually a descendant of the pre-Qin royal family.
As for why Zhang Rang became the No. 1 Dizi, that is another matter.
Qin Hao was the second person to know that Qin Rang was still alive, and when Qin Hao learned from his father that his fifth uncle turned out to be Zhang Rang, the most Zhang Rang could have swallowed an ostrich egg alive.
My grandpa, whom I have never met, is so awesome. He ruined an empire with this arrangement! Qin Hao thought secretly.
After Jinyiwei was established, Qin Hao contacted Zhang Rang through a single line. After some discussion, Zhang Rang decided to accept the Dizi No. 1 token and became the Dizi No. 1 among the four secret agents of the world, Xuanhuang.
From then on, Zhang Rang's task was not only to pry the foundation of the Han Dynasty overtly and covertly, but also to assist Heibingtai to infiltrate Da Hehe and collect and convey some secret intelligence for Qin Hao.
Zhang Rang secretly provided support within the court, while Qin Wen found strength outside the court. It is precisely because the two sides complemented each other that the Qin family has developed so fast in recent years.
Looking at that handsome face that had now become extremely feminine, Qin Wen's tears flowed down unconsciously, and her heart was extremely sad.
“Lao Wu, my eldest brother has been thinking of you every day these past few years.”
“Big brother.”
Two lines of clear tears flowed from Zhang Rang's cheeks. No matter how he intrigues and intrigues outside, this is his forever home.
“By the way, brother, where is the fourth brother?” Zhang Rang asked, “I haven’t seen him for a long time!”
“I deliberately transferred the fourth child to Yanmen Gate.”
Zhang Rang was stunned. Qin Wen was afraid that he would think wrong if he wanted to go, so he quickly explained: "Your fourth brother doesn't know the secrets of the family yet, and he doesn't know that you are still alive. I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it if I tell him."
The fourth brother Qin Jian was upright and impulsive by nature. If he knew that the fifth brother Qin Rang was forced to become an **** by his father, he would really go crazy. "Brother, what you did is right. Fourth brother has a pure heart and will definitely not be able to accept it. Moreover..." Zhang Rang lowered his head and said softly: "I don't want Fourth Brother to see me like this."
“Fifth brother, I have really wronged you these years!”
"Brother, I have enjoyed all the glory and wealth in the palace these years, how can I have anything to feel wronged about? But my eldest brother worked **** the battlefield, and the sufferings my younger brother has suffered are nothing compared to what he could have done!"
As he spoke, Zhang Rang actually comforted Qin Wen, and Qin Wen naturally knew that his brother was enjoying himself in hardship. After all, as a man, and an excellent man, how could he accept the status of a eunuch.
Before Zhang Rang entered the palace, he was not only handsome, but also extremely talented. He was the best among the five. If Zhang Rang had not been young at the time, Qin Shan would have most likely passed him the title of head of the family.
"Lao Wu, if my eldest brother had known about it back then, he would have fought to the death to stop my father! My father is so..." Qin Wen said sadly and angrily: "Even if I want to dig up the foundation of the Han Dynasty, I don't have to let you go!"
When he thought of the sunny young man who was always around him, calling out to him, begging him to teach him swordsmanship, but now he has become...Qin Wen couldn't help but feel sad, and cried bitterly again.
Father, you are so cruel. I will never forgive you for this only thing!
"Brother, I actually hated my father at first, but later I slowly figured out that my father also had his own difficulties. Someone has to sacrifice for the family, and at that time, no one except me could bear this heavy responsibility. Outsiders had How can you trust it?”
“Lao Wu, you have sacrificed too much for the family!” Qin Wen sighed.
“Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore.” Zhang Rang interrupted immediately and asked with a smile: “Brother, do you know what rewards Liu Hong will give you and Hao’er this time? There is something wrong with this!”
“I don’t know!”
“Liu Hong will grant you the title of Marquis of Jinyang this time, brother, and the title of Marquis of Champion to Haoer!”
"What a generous move." Qin Wen's eyes flashed with fierceness, and he said slowly: "The title of champion marquis is of extraordinary significance to a big man, but Liu Hong gave it to Hao'er. It seems that he wants to use this victory to win the title. Boost the morale of the whole army and use the final value of the battle with the Huns! "
“Brother, the issue of the reward is not with Hao’er, but with eldest brother!” Zhang Rang said seriously.
Qin Wen was a little surprised, and then he thought deeply and immediately discovered something was wrong.
"Huh? That's wrong. Taiyuan is Ding Yuan's territory. How could Liu Hong make me the Marquis of Taiyuan?" Qin Wen frowned.
Qin Wen and Ding Yuan have a good personal relationship, and Ding Yuan has also given Qin Wen a lot of help. But with this title ban, no matter how generous Ding Yuan is, he may have a grudge!
"Brother, your non-partisan behavior over the years has fully earned Liu Hong's trust. Liu Hong rewards him with this reward because he wants his eldest brother to replace Ding Yuan as the governor of Bingzhou and guard the north gate of Luoyang for the imperial court." Zhang Rang smiled lightly. explained.
“I’m afraid that most of this is due to you, fifth brother.”
Qin Wen knew without thinking that Zhang Rang must have said all the good things for him in front of Liu Hong. Although it was true that he was not a party member, Liu Hong, as an emperor, would never trust any of his ministers easily.
“Brother, I am also a member of the Qin family. I should speak for my own family, isn’t it?” Zhang Rang said matter-of-factly.
"Fifth brother, if the imperial court appoints me as the governor of Bingzhou, how will Ding Yuan be settled?" Qin Wen asked with some worry.
“Brother, you are still so kind-hearted!” Zhang Rang chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, Ding Yuan’s weight in Liu Hong’s heart is quite important. Maybe it will rise overtly and covertly, thus becoming a blessing in disguise!”
