My subjects are too rebellious!

"This year, I am 42 years old."

"The ancients knew the will of heaven. Most of my life has passed, and the enemy's knife is easily placed on my neck."

"If I had not had some connections in the court, my whole family would have been killed without a burial place if I had been accused of colluding with the rebels in Hao."

"Before this, I was honest and didn't have any big ambitions."

"It was after this incident that I realized that if I wanted to stop being a passive opponent, I had to join the game of power in the new dynasty."

Yan Song sighed and said slowly: "Your Majesty, in one's life, there is often a huge gap between the ideals at the beginning and the reality."

“As you walk step by step on the long road, keep moving forward with perseverance.”

“After being beaten to a pulp by thorns and rocks, I slowly came to accept the gap between my ideal and reality.”

“It’s just that some people still retain the original intention they had when they first embarked on this path.”

"And some people, in order to go further on this road, in order to climb higher, choose to completely betray their past selves."

“I am willing to sacrifice all my past dignity, personality, will, and ambition.”

"Erasure yourselves with your own hands all the things in your past life that you were proud of and cherished."

"So, I chose the olive branch offered by the Queen Mother and received her support."

"This is me, Your Majesty. Now you know what kind of person I am."

Qin Chuan felt a little emotional. This was somewhat inconsistent with his memories of his previous life.

But, perhaps because he knew in his previous life that Yan Song was a treacherous minister, he selectively forgot his past few decades.

Perhaps, Qin Chuan sometimes feels that Yan Song’s choice is actually the life of most people.

People say that Yan Song was too good at political struggle, but it is better to say that Jiajing was too selfish. He only enjoyed the power of the emperor, but was unwilling to bear the obligations of being an emperor.

In Qin Chuan's opinion, perhaps it was because the emperor at that time had some "borderline personality".

"It is said that Duke Zhou feared the spread of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble before he usurped the throne."

"If I were dead at the beginning, who would know my true self?"

"A scholar can be called a scholar instead of any other label because he has to sacrifice many precious things in order to make further progress."

"But there are two things that cannot be betrayed: one is the remaining original intention, and the other is the bottom line that is guarded."

"Do you still have this, my dear?"

Yan Song didn't expect the emperor to evaluate him in this way. He burst into tears in an instant and looked at Qin Chuan sitting on the dragon throne.

It seemed that it was not a young emperor, but a crawling dragon.

"Your Majesty! I, your humble servant, am ashamed of myself!"

Looking at Yan Song with tears in his eyes, Qin Chuan was moved.

"It's impossible to have both. When it comes down to it, life and work are nothing more than a matter of giving and taking."

"My dear Lord Yan, have you ever thought about being your younger self again?"

Yan Song looked at Qin Chuan in disbelief and murmured, "Is this...really possible?"

Realizing the vision, but can he turn back?

He might think so, but the people under him would not allow him to think so.

At this moment, he thought of many things and struggled internally.

"There are countless honest officials in history, but corrupt officials are more talked about. The rise of those who are idle and do nothing is more due to the rulers' need for balance."

"But I don't need such a balance."

"I ask you again, Yan Song, have you ever thought about being your younger self again?"

This time, Yan Song decided to stick to his original intention, so he answered without hesitation: "Your Majesty! I am willing!"

Looking at the 96 loyalty level above Yan Song's head, Qin Chuan was very satisfied.

"The imperial examination is approaching, and I order you to be fair and just and find a truly useful job for Dawu."

"If they are well-read but have corrupt morals, they must not be allowed to enter the court."

"Lord Yan, can you do it?"

Yan Song's heart was burning with passion at this moment, and his already dying heart was revived again.

He stood up, knelt down solemnly and said to Qin Chuan: "Your Majesty, I will not let you down!"

"Okay, let's go down."

Looking at the trembling Yan Song, Qin Chuan added: "My dear Yan, take care of yourself. I still need your help in the current situation."

Hearing these caring words, Yan Song's eyes reddened again, and he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I am still strong and healthy."

After saying this, as if he wanted to prove something, he walked out of the hall at a rapid pace.

In the side hall, Cao Cao looked at the two people who left one after another, and then looked at Yan Song who seemed to have just cried, and his curiosity grew stronger.

He was really curious about what the emperor had said to them.

And soon, it was his turn.

"Zhang Rang, call Cao Cao."

"Announce, Cao Cao is here to see you."

After a while, Cao Cao walked briskly to the center of the hall and bowed to Qin Chuan from a distance.

"Your Majesty, I, Cao Cao, kowtow to you."

"Long live your majesty."

At this moment, the system sound in Qin Chuan's mind began to sound.

"Congratulations to the host for influencing Yan Song, gaining Yan Song's loyalty of 96, and changing the course of history."

"Hereby rewards the host with 30,000 Great Qin warriors."

“One thousand top craftsmen.”

"Three million taels of silver."

"Gain +5 national fortune."

"The current national fortune is 62. The elite soldiers of the Great Qin are now stationed in Jingzhou Prefecture. The top craftsmen are automatically dispatched to Long Er."

Cao Cao didn't hear any response for a long time. He raised his head cautiously with some confusion and looked at Qin Chuan above.

But Qin Chuan was just sitting there blankly, as if he was shocked by something.

There is no way, these are the elite soldiers of the Qin Dynasty!

These are the invincible Qin Ruishi, one of the four most powerful armies in the Warring States Period.

"Xunzi. Discussion on Arms" says: "The martial arts of Qi cannot match the warriors of Wei; the warriors of Wei cannot defeat the warriors of Qin."

Qin Ruishi made an indispensable contribution to Qin's conquest of the six eastern states and annexation of the world. It can be said that Qin was invincible when it swept the world.

Moreover, these are the Qin Ruishi of the legendary emperor, the First Emperor.

Thinking of something, Qin Chuan quickly asked the system.

"System, who is the person in charge of Qin Ruishi's army? Which general is he?"

Qin Chuan began to feel excited, and then, after the system confirmed it, he cheered.

"Human butcher Bai Qi."

"I'm so fucked!"

Cao Cao was startled by Qin Chuan's exclamation and looked at Qin Chuan with some confusion.

Zhang Rang, who was standing aside, seemed to have long been accustomed to Qin Chuan's startled look.

As if realizing that he had lost his composure, Qin Chuan quickly forced himself to calm down.

But there is no way, that is the world's number one military genius, Tu Wu'an Jun Bai Qi!

The Battle of Changping killed 400,000 people and buried them alive.

People in later generations jokingly called orders worth less than 300,000 yuan unwilling to take them.

This evaluation is indeed strong.

Bai Qi started as a soldier at the bottom of the society and rose to become the Marquis of Wu'an. During his lifetime, he annihilated 165 million troops of the six kingdoms.

This number is why he is called the Man-Slayer.

And now, with the Qin elite soldiers led by him, even if there are only 30,000 of them, it would be enough to resist an army of 100,000 or even 200,000, right?

However, these are just Qin Chuan's confidence in Bai Qi. If a real fight breaks out, it may still be unknown how much he can resist.

With this good news, Qin Chuan's mood immediately improved, and he felt that the 1.6-meter-tall Cao Cao was extremely cute.

"Lord Cao, why are you still kneeling? Hurry up and stand up! Someone, please give me a seat!"

"Lord Cao, I haven't had breakfast yet. Why don't you have breakfast with me?"

Cao Cao suddenly felt somewhat flattered and said quickly, "I dare not."

"Not dining with me is disobeying the imperial order. You must go. Let's go."

After saying this, without waiting for Cao Cao to refuse, he took the lead and walked towards the side hall.

Cao Cao was looking at the emperor's back, secretly admiring his dominance.

"As a true man, this is what you should do."

Then, he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, quickly covered his mouth and followed Qin Chuan.
