Chapter 194 Sleeping on firewood and tasting gall


    Chapter 193: Sleeping on firewood and tasting gall


    Qinshan, the first generation of the Qin family, comes from Qinjia Village, Lishan.


    In this era when aristocratic families control everything, Qin Shan, who was a civilian, built a huge foundation in Guanzhong alone, was definitely a legend.


    However, Qin Shan worked hard all his life, but only for two things, one was to destroy the Han Dynasty and the other was to restore the country.


    In order to restore the country, Qinshan accumulated a family business, made good friends with the Guanzhong family, and worked hard to cultivate his five sons. Unfortunately, although the five sons were all excellent, they were not worthy of the emperor.


    In the end, Qin Shan chose his grandson who was born as a saint, and even risked the family''s disintegration and passed the position of head of the family to Qin Wen, the most mediocre boss of the five sons.


    In order to destroy the Han Dynasty, Qin Shan castrated his most beloved young son and sent him to the palace to be a eunuch, dismantling the enemy from within.


    Don’t underestimate eunuchs. There are countless examples of the country’s demise because of eunuchs in history, such as Zhao Gao from Qin, Ten Constant attendants from Han, Huang Hao from Shu, etc.


    The pre-Qin period was destroyed by Zhao Gao, and Qinshan wanted to make Qin Ran the second Zhao Gao. After all, the interior of any fortress is the most vulnerable.


    But I''m afraid even Qin Shan himself wouldn''t have expected that his son would do so successfully.


    In recent years, Qin Ren has eased to use the conflicts between the imperial court, the aristocratic families, and major factions among major forces, and has pushed the Han Dynasty to the edge of the cliff.


    In general, Qin Shan’s two plans were very successful. Who would have thought that Qin Rang, the old Qin family, was the first of the ten eunuchs of the Cholera Dynasty.


    Who would have thought that Qin Wen, the prefect of Yanmen, was determined to destroy the Han Dynasty, who was famous and loyal to the Han Dynasty, and the Qin family was actually descended from the pre-Qin royal family.


    As for why Zhang Rang became Dizi No. 1, that''s another matter.


    Qin Hao was the second person to know that Qin Rang was still alive. When Qin Hao learned from his father that his fifth uncle was Zhang Rang, the most puffed one could swallow an ostrich egg.


    My grandfather, whom I have never met before, is simply awesome. This arrangement will destroy an empire! Qin Hao said in his heart.


    After the establishment of the Jinyiwei, Qin Hao contacted Zhang Rang in a single line. After some discussion, Zhang Rang decided to accept the token of Dizi No. 1 and became the number one of the four secret spies of Tiandi Xuanhuang.


    Since then, Zhang Rang''s mission has not only leveraged the foundation of the Han Dynasty openly and secretly, but also assisted the Black Ice Platform to infiltrate the Great, collect and convey some secret information for Qin Hao.


    Zhang Rang secretly supported the court, and Qin Wen discovered his growth outside the court. It was precisely because the two sides complemented each other that the Qin family had developed so quickly over the years.


    Looking at the handsome face that now became extremely feminine, Qin Wen''s tears flowed down unconsciously, and he felt extremely sad.


    "Fifth, my brother has been thinking about you every day over the years."


    “Big brother.”


    Two lines of clear tears flowed out from Zhang Rang''s cheeks. No matter how intrigue and encircle him outside, this is his eternal home.


    "By the way, brother, where is the fourth brother?" Zhang Rang asked, "It''s been a long time since I saw him!"


    "I deliberately transferred the fourth brother to Yanmen Pass."


    Zhang Rang was stunned. Qin Wen was afraid that he would think wrongly if he wanted to go, so he quickly explained: "Your fourth brother doesn''t know the secret of the family, nor does he know that you are still alive. I''m afraid that he will not be able to accept it if he says it."


    The fourth brother Qin Jian is straightforward by nature and prone to impulsiveness. If he knew that his fifth brother Qin Rang was forced to become a **** by his father, he would probably be crazy. "Brother, you are right. Fourth brother is pure and he will definitely not accept it. And..." Zhang Rang lowered his head and said softly: "I don''t want Fourth brother to see my current ghostly look."


    "Fifth brother, I have really wronged you over the years!"


    "Brother, I have enjoyed all my wealth and glory in the palace over the years. How can I feel wronged? But my brother is fighting to the death on the battlefield. The suffering I suffered is inferior to my elder brother!"


    As he was talking, Zhang Rang actually comforted Qin Wen in turn, and Qin Wen naturally knew that his younger brother was having fun in suffering. After all, as a man and an excellent man, how could he accept the identity of eunuch?


    Before Zhang Rang entered the palace, he was not only handsome but also talented, and was the best among the five. If Zhang Rang had not been young at the time, Qin Shan would have probably passed the head of the family to him.


    "Fifth, if the eldest brother knew about it, he would have to stop his father even if he fought to the death! His father was simply..." Qin Wen said indignantly: "Even if he wanted to dig the foundation of the Han court, he wouldn''t have to let you go!"


    When I think of the sunny boy who used to be, he always surrounds me. My elder brother shouts and asks me to teach swordsmanship, but now it turns out... Qin Wen can''t help but feel sad and cry again.


    Father, you are so cruel. I will never forgive you for this matter!


    "Brother, I actually hated my father at the beginning, but later I gradually figured it out that my father also had his own difficulties. Someone had to sacrifice for the family. And at that time, no one except me could bear this important task. How could outsiders trust it?"


    "Lao Wu, you sacrificed too much for the family!" Qin Wen sighed.


    "Okay, let''s not talk about this." Zhang Rang immediately interrupted and asked with a smile: "Brother, do you know what reward Liu Hong gave you and Hao''er this time? If there is any problem here!"


    “I don’t know!”


    "This time, Liu Hong named you as Marquis of Jinyang and Haoer as Marquis of Champion!"


    "It''s a big deal." Qin Wen''s eyes flashed with sharpness and he slowly said, "The title of champion marquis has a very special significance to the Han Dynasty, but Liu Hong gave it to Hao''er. It seems that he wants to use this great victory to boost the morale of the entire army and make use of the final value of this battle with the Huns!"


    "Brother, the issue of reward is not Hao''er, but Brother!" Zhang Rang said seriously.


    Qin Wen was a little surprised, and then went deeper and immediately discovered something was wrong.


    "Huh? That''s wrong. Taiyuan is Ding Yuan''s territory. How could Liu Hong signify me as Taiyuan Hou?" Qin Wen frowned.


    Qin Wen and Ding Yuan have a good personal relationship. Ding Yuan has also given Qin Wen a lot of help, but if Ding Yuan is so generous, he may feel a grudge!


    "Brother, your actions that have not been in dispute over the years have fully gained Liu Hong''s trust. Liu Hong''s reward is so rewarded that he wants his elder brother to replace Ding Yuan as the governor of Bingzhou and to guard the northern gate of Luoyang for the court." Zhang Rang explained with a faint smile.


    "I''m afraid most of this is your credit, fifth brother."


    Qin Wen didn''t have to think about it, and Zhang Rang must have said all the good things for him in front of Liu Hong. Although it is a fact that he does not stand or argue, Liu Hong, as an emperor, will never easily believe any minister.


    "Brother, I am also from the Qin family. I should speak for my own family. Isn''t that right?" Zhang Rang said for granted.


    "Fifth brother, if the imperial court granted me the governor of Bingzhou, how would Ding Yuan be placed?" Qin Wen asked with some concern.


    "Brother, you are still so kind-hearted!" Zhang Rang chuckled and said, "Don''t worry, Ding Yuan has a heavy weight in Liu Hong''s heart. Maybe it will rise openly and secretly, and thus be a blessing in disguise!"
