Chapter 193
: Sit on the fire and taste the courage
Qinshan, the first generation head of the Qin family, comes 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 with his bare hands. This is definitely a legend.
However, Qin Shan worked hard all his life, but he only wanted to do 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 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 emperor.
In the end, Qin Shan chose his grandson who was born to be a saint, risking the family's disintegration and passing the title of family head to Qin Wen, the most mediocre of the five sons.
In order to destroy the Han Dynasty, Qin Shan had his beloved youngest son castrated and sent to the palace as a eunuch 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, Ten Changshi of Han, Huang Hao of Shu, etc.
The pre-Qin Dynasty perished 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.
But 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 Rang of the ten constant servants of Cholera Chao Gang.
Who would have thought that Qin Wen, the governor 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 story.
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, he could have swallowed an ostrich egg alive.
His grandfather, whom he has never met, is so awesome. He has ruined an empire with this arrangement! Qin Hao thought to himself.
After the 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.
From then on, Zhang Rang's mission was not only to pry the foundation of the Han Dynasty overtly and covertly, but also to assist Heibingtai to infiltrate Da Sohe 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 complement each other that the Qin family has developed so fast in recent years.
Seeing that handsome face now become extremely feminine, Qin Wen's tears flowed down unconsciously, and her heart was extremely sad.
"Lao Wu, I have been thinking about you every day these past few years."
"Big brother."
Two lines of 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 and shut him down."
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 that he won't be able to accept it if I tell you."
Qin Jian, the fourth child, is upright and impulsive by nature. If he knew that Qin Rang, the fifth brother, was forced by his father to become an eunuch, 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 the eldest brother worked hard on the battlefield, and the suffering that the younger brother has suffered is nothing compared to that of the eldest brother!"
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?<
/p>
Before Zhang Rang entered the palace, he was not only handsome in appearance, but also extremely talented. He was the best among the five. If Zhang Rang had not been young, Qin Shan would have most likely passed him the title of family head.
"Lao Wu, if my eldest brother knew about it back then, I would have fought to the death to stop my father! My father is simply..." 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 him "big brother" and asking him to teach him swordsmanship, but now he has become... Qin Wen couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears again.
Father, you are so cruel. This is the only thing I will never forgive you for!
"Brother, I actually hated my father at the beginning, but later I slowly figured out that my father also had his own difficulties. Someone must 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 reward Liu Hong gave you and Hao'er this time? There is something wrong with this!"
"I don't know!"
"This time Liu Hong makes you the Marquis of Jinyang, my eldest brother, and the title of Champion Marquis to Hao'er!"
"What a big deal." 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
Boost the morale of the whole army and make use of the final value of the battle with the Huns!"
"Brother, the issue of the reward is not with Hao'er, but with brother!" Zhang Rang said seriously.
Qin Wen was a little surprised, 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 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 like this 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.
He explained.
"I'm afraid 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 arranged?" 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!"<
