Chapter 518 Opportunity

When Qin Xiaogong died, Shang Yang ran away and was about to escape back to his fief. He did not want to rebel, but he had no choice but to get into a crime and had no choice but to run away.

On the way, Shang Yang found that he could not stay in a hotel or go to the inn for dinner because he stipulated that he needed to show his ID card to stay in a hotel. If he didn't, it wouldn't work. Shang Yang was running away. Didn't he commit suicide by showing his ID?

But the inn had no choice. If you privately entertain unidentified people, you would be punished according to the Qin law.

Shang Yang had no choice but to continue running, but even if he returned to the fief, he would not have any effect. After all, Qin State was created by him. Everyone had only two goals of farming and fighting, either preparing for war or preparing for wasteland. The entire Qin State had become a combat machine, and now it only needed a strategic policy to operate.

Unfortunately, the reforms offended too many Qin nobles, so the nobles had to retaliate against Shang Yang. Shang Yang had no choice but to do so. The Legalists were just offending people.

Because redistribution of interests is called reform, and redistribution must offend people. Although Qin State finally accepted reform because of its strong external troubles, it is impossible to say that there is no resentment.

After all, the group of people who suffered losses are not dead yet, and they hate Shang Yang so much that they are itchy.

At this time, Shang Yang came to the riverside and found Du Niang crossing the river. When he came to the river, Du Niang, who was wearing a hat, suddenly spoke, "It is better to confess his guilt instead of returning to the fief."

When Shang Yang heard this, he was frightened and thought he had been recognized by Du Niang, so he could only say nervously: "What is my crime? I am not guilty. Who are you, why do you want me to confess?"

This Du Niang is naturally Yun Yao. She wants to give Shang Yang a chance to help him participate in the selection of Tianguan.

"You are guilty of rebellion." Yunyao said with his head down and his face covered with a hat.

"I never wanted to rebel, and the world could see it. These crimes were just perjury listed by the enemies of the past. If I was guilty, I would commit suicide. If I was not guilty, I would never die." Shang Yang firmly refused to plead guilty.

"So you go back and raise an army and let them confirm your crime of rebellion?" When Shang Yang goes back and raise an army, he will really rebel. It would be reasonable and scruples to kill him at that time.

"..." Shang Yang was speechless because his current situation was like a ship parked in the middle of the river at this moment, unable to move forward or retreat. No matter what, his crime of rebellion could not be eliminated.

Shang Yang sighed at the river surface, mixed feelings. He now realized that someone wanted to kill him, and he was completely unwilling to worry about it. Both sides could find reasons. No matter whether he resisted or not, he would be killed in the end.

The reform has not had any good results since ancient times. Not to mention the farthest, there are Wu Qi who are closest. Wei Wushang is very powerful, but in the end Wu Qi was expelled from the Wei State, and later the reform in Chu State was directly hacked to death.

Although Li Kui and Bai Gui also reformed and opposed hereditary aristocrats, they mainly reformed economically. They did not shake the interests of the old aristocrats like Wei Wuzu and did not promote the landlord class. One of them mobilized resources from the geographical aspect to develop the economy, and the other strengthened warehousing and developed the economy from the seasonal aspect.

There was a joke in the past that I bought an umbrella in the desert. This is certainly a joke, but on the other hand, the desert does not require an umbrella, so the materials for making umbrellas will be cheap. If you make umbrellas in the desert and buy them in a rainy place, you can make a difference. This is a geographical business opportunity.

Business opportunities in the season are naturally stored at a good harvest, sold when they are underpaid, or sold at high prices, and recycled at low prices.

Therefore, the same reforms, which really touched the interests of the nobles, are completely different from those who just shouted verbally. Wu Qi and Wei Yang both touched the interests of the nobles, so the fate would be very miserable. When Qin Xiaogong was alive, the Qin nobles did not dare to treat Wei Yang, but when Qin Xiaogong died, they would have revenge and revenge.

Wei Yang wanted to return to Shangdi to launch his own militia, which was undoubtedly a dead end.

"It's better to give up on the fief." Yunyao said.

"Do you want me to use fief bribes to list my crimes?" Shang Yang heard the other party say that he wanted to give up the fief, and knew that the other party wanted to bribe the nobles himself, which was actually just a disguised confession. Perhaps this was a way of life, but after Shang Yang knew that he would give up, his lifelong struggle would be gone.

Besides, I was not guilty at all. After all, Shang Yang still couldn't overcome this hurdle, but he didn't think he was guilty. What he did was for Qin Xiaogong, and to strengthen Qin State, so what was the crime? Now that he is so hated, it is to some extent because he did well enough.

"I am not guilty." Anyway, Shang Yang was unwilling to bow to the nobles of Qin and would rather go back and rebel than just admit defeat in a frustrating manner.

It’s like a child wronged by his parents and teachers, who is wronged and persistent.

OK, then keep driving.

Shang Yang originally thought that this Du Niang had something extraordinary and might be able to show him a way out, but he didn't expect that after a few words of advice, he continued to send him to the other side. It seemed that he had only one way to rebel.

But how could he beat him? Shang Yang knew better than anyone else about the current Qin army's strength. After all, he created a system of military merit awards, giving Qin soldiers the possibility of killing the enemy and being promoted.

Although there are not many soldiers who can save enough military merits alive according to probability studies, this does not hinder the Qin army from fighting.

Shang Yang closed his eyes in despair and thought to himself that he was also in a hurry to seek medical treatment. He was just a Du Niang, so how could he save himself?

"arrive."

Just when Shang Yang was in despair, when Du Niang heard that he had reached the other side, he could only suppress his sadness and continue to go home. He knew it was a dead end, but he still had to set off. But when he opened his eyes, there was no place where the grass was lush and the shadows of trees were swaying. In front of him was a strange city with towering towers and rows of strange cities.

They did not reach the other side, but instead shuttled through the lively city rivers. The river under the boat passed through the city, and the shouts of hawking and shouting on both sides were endless.

When you look up, you can see someone standing on a flying sword, flying over your head with a whistle sound, and the shadow of the sword immortal goes far along the clear river. There are also a variety of ships on the water. These ships are fancy and whistle, as if they are moving the house to the river surface. You can see the exquisite window lattice and singing, and the sound of silk and bamboo is pleasant to hear.

"This, this..." Shang Yang widened his eyes and looked at the lively and unfamiliar things around him, as if he was dreaming, and as if he had come to a fairyland.

"Ahhh, I want to go, but I can't be ashamed. The joy of Zhucheng, the rhyme of the three realms. The gathering of immortals makes the colors misty. The wind roams, and the endless time..." Yunyao rows and sings. Shang Yang then realizes that the Duniang has changed his appearance at this time, and even the ferry under his feet has become luxurious.

I saw Du Niang flying in her hair, Gong Qun was beautiful, with a graceful figure, crisp singing, and ethereal eyes, unlike ordinary people.

Is this a dream? Shang Yang did not dare to speak, for fear of breaking the perfect and harmonious dream. If it was a dream, let yourself go with the fairy on a boat.

Yunyao was sailing on the river surface, and no one knew her. She took Shang Yang to school and gave him a chance to study and participate in the imperial examination.
