Chapter 12 Chapter Eleven True and False

Chen Sheng was so astonished, of course there was a reason for it. Zhang Er and Chen Yu, famous scholars in Wei State, are both famous people all over the world.They disappeared in the year when Wei was destroyed by Qin Shihuang (225 BC). The one who captured Daliang, the capital of Wei, was Wang Ben, the son of Wang Jian, who was able to save himself by repeatedly demanding rewards from the first emperor.When Wang Ben won the victory to the first emperor, he was reprimanded. ——If you didn’t kill those two people, how could it be regarded as an attack on Wei Guo!As long as those two people are still in the world, I can't feel at ease.It's not an outright victory.

Why was the first emperor so afraid of Zhang Er and Chen Yu? At that time, Zhang Er was the chief of Wei State in the land of Wai Huang.Waihuang is in Henan Province, near the country of Qiren, who are worried that the sky will fall.He is not an ordinary magistrate, he is very hospitable with a lot of money, and he often takes pleasure in taking care of heroes and knights from all walks of life.Therefore, once something happens, his mobilization ability is very strong. Although Chen Yu is younger than Zhang Er, the two are inseparable friends, and their friendship is so deep that they even promised each other to the point of death.Chen Yu is also quite financially capable, and the combined power with Zhang Er is really impressive.

——They are country celebrities at best, what is there to be afraid of? General Wang Ben, who originally thought he would be praised by the emperor, asked with an expression of dissatisfaction because his expectations fell through. ——Buds with dangerous toxins must be picked off after digging through the soil.Letting them escape is really a big failure... Those two guys who live on soft food, hate it! The first emperor showed an angry expression and cursed. "Guy who lives on soft food" is not a curse word casually uttered by Emperor Shihuang.Zhang Er and Chen Yu were not from wealthy families, but became rich because they married the daughter of a rich man.It is interesting that these two people who are close friends both dominate one side because of the financial resources of their wives' natal families.

—Those two people must be found.Offer a huge reward! The first emperor immediately issued an order. The reward is that those who capture Zhang Er will be given a thousand gold, and those who capture Chen Yu will be given five hundred gold.Even so, the two were never caught. Such Zhang Er and Chen Yu suddenly appeared, and came to ask for a meeting—is Chen Sheng not bad and extremely surprised? "Wait a moment……" After telling his subordinates to introduce the two with hospitality, Chen Sheng suddenly suppressed his excitement and thought about it—is there no conspiracy behind such a big accident?

It was just about to start fighting the world, and there were two celebrities who wanted to join him. Didn't things go too smoothly?It is human nature to doubt the authenticity of things that go so surprisingly well. In fact, I have done this myself!Fusu, whose death has not been announced, and Xiang Yan, who was mistaken for being alive—Chen Sheng himself had indeed stolen the names of these two people. "Xiang Yan's defeat and Wei Guo's destruction - which of these two things came first?" Chen Sheng asked Wuchen. "Xiang Yan's defeat happened in the second year after Daliang, the capital of Wei, was captured." Wu Chen replied.

"So these two people have been lurking for sixteen years?" "It's been so long. These two people are really good at hiding." "Do you know Zhang Er and Chen Yu?" Chen Sheng asked. "This...no...they are contemporary celebrities, and I'm just a merchant. How can I have the opportunity to know these two people?" The military minister's answer was hesitating at first, but later he was very sure. He already saw what Chen Sheng was thinking.These two people are likely to be counterfeit... Chen Sheng, who himself has embezzled other people's names, is extremely natural to be skeptical of others.

In fact, Wu Chen met Zhang Er about twenty years ago.Although Zhang Er's mansion in Waihuang has less than three thousand diners, it is true that one or two hundred diners often come and go at home.Therefore, unless there are quite distinctive characters, it should be impossible for Zhang Er to remember the faces of diners so many years ago. Let me just say I don't know him!Wu Chen thought about it for an instant and made this answer. Wuchen was reused by Chen Wang because of his past friendship.One day after King Chen takes over the world, he will be named prime minister just around the corner.Therefore, he never welcomes people who are more capable than himself to join King Chen's camp.Because this will hinder your promotion.

"But, you are a person who often travels to various countries, you should have heard about Zhang Er and Chen Yu, right?" Chen Sheng leaned his upper body forward slightly, and asked Wuchen again. "Of course. Because they're the talk of the town everywhere." "Not only do you have a lot of knowledge, but you also have a lot of knowledge. You should be able to judge, right?" "What do you want to judge?" Wuchen asked pretendingly. "Whether these two people are real Zhang Er, Chen Yu, or fakes, I need to make this judgment." "This... Maybe I will see this when I see myself!"

"That's good. When they come in later, you can make a good appraisal." Sixteen years is quite a long time.Not to mention living in hiding. They were the ones who were offered a reward of one thousand gold and five hundred gold respectively.Therefore, when encountering old acquaintances occasionally, I will become nervous.But most of those who recognize them have been helped by them in the past.Therefore, the other party either signs with his eyes and walks quickly, or when passing by, he quickly says: "I'm glad to see that you are safe and sound. However, it is better not to come out and walk around."

Some even hide them in their own homes. They are not lurking separately, but always together.This is also one of the reasons why I was able to survive the sixteen years. "I offer a reward of one thousand gold for you, but only five hundred gold for me—half of it. Doesn't this hurt my self-esteem?" One day, Chen Yu said this in a joking tone. "Is that because I'm older than you? Otherwise, Emperor Shihuang had blind eyes and couldn't see the true value of a person, right?" Zhang Er comforted him with such words. "I don't know when this life of hiding will end!"

Hearing Chen Yu's sigh, Zhang Er immediately said: "The Qin Dynasty of the First Emperor will perish sooner or later. It is absolutely unmistakable. The best proof is that the reward for you is only 500 gold. Even the ability to know people None, is it possible for such a person to rule the world for a long time?" Because it was extremely dangerous in Daliang or in the past Wei, the two wandered in other countries.When I came to my favorite place, I lived there for several years.But staying in one place for a long time is also very dangerous.They moved around and came to Chen. They liked the place very much, so they have lived in Chen for five years. "It seems that we should consider moving elsewhere?" Zhang Er said. "Going to move again? Can't we take root in one place?" Chen Yu showed a disappointed expression. "The Qin Dynasty fell, and we can return to Daliang without hesitation. Why can't you endure it for a while longer?" "I don't know how long we have to wait!" "In my opinion, the time has come for the common people to revolt..." While chatting like this, they heard the news that the poor army had risen in Daze Township. "It looks like we don't have to be city gate guards anymore." Zhang Er said happily. After they came to Chendi, they did the job of guarding the city gates. They not only guarded the city gates, but also traveled around the city to publicize the government's announcements. "Whoever catches Zhang Er will get a thousand gold reward, and if Chen Yu is caught, he will get five hundred gold..." This reward announcement was also made by the two of them walking through the city and loudly proclaiming it to the residents. The person who announced the bounty loudly was the target of arrest-who would have thought of that?It is also the job of the city gate guard to monitor suspicious persons entering the city.Isn't it ironic that the dubious elements themselves should be doing the job? They began to look forward to the rebellion in Daze Township. Their expectations were not disappointed.The rebellion became bigger and bigger like a snowball, and the poor army has become an army of tens of thousands, and they invaded Chencheng and used it as their base. The two waited and watched the situation. Whether it is a bubble-like rebellion or a promising army, this point must be judged. "It seems that this group of people is quite forward-looking. Most importantly, their military discipline is very good. They are all soldiers from poor backgrounds, so they know how to cherish the common people. This has already won the hearts of the people." After Chen Sheng entered the city, Zhang Er made this judgment after a period of observation, so he and Chen Yu came to visit the headquarters of the rebel army. Although it is a rural area, they believe that everyone knows the names of Zhang Er and Chen Yu.After notifying their names, the other party will definitely be willing to introduce them-the two think so. They were indeed welcome.Chen Sheng said: "I have admired your great name for a long time, and it is a great fortune to see you today. Please give me your advice." Zhang Er had already prepared his advice to Chen Sheng, so he said eloquently: "The most important thing for you now is to recruit as many comrades as possible. The more people you have, the better. Try to recruit comrades, and try to target those who hold a grudge against Qin. Qin Not only conquered the six kingdoms, but also captured their kings, so the survivors of the six kingdoms all had a sworn hatred against Qin. Therefore, the first task is to revive the six kingdoms that were destroyed. As long as you revive the six kingdoms, the people of the world will be grateful to you , your imperial career will also be able to complete. Before that, you must win the hearts of the people. It seems inappropriate for you to call yourself a king now, because it will easily make people think that you have selfish intentions. In my opinion, you should It’s better to restrain yourself for the time being.” "I can consider it." Chen Sheng replied. Of course, the opinions of Zhang Er, who are famous and famous, must be accepted.However, it has not been confirmed whether the other party is really Zhang Er.Therefore, Chen Sheng did not give an affirmative answer on the spot, and only after they returned, he asked Wuchen: "How is it? Do you see the truth?" To this, Wu Chen frowned and replied: "It's hard to identify for a while." In fact, Wu Chen had stayed in Zhang Er's mansion for a period of time as a diner in the past, so of course he would not mistake him.What he saw just now was Zhang Er who had been away for nearly twenty years, and he knew it well. ——This person will be his strong competitor! Since the other party is a well-known figure in the world, it is obvious that Zhang Er will occupy the position of prime minister in the future, and he must stop it.But how can you say "he is a fake" at this time? These two people are genuine Zhang Er and Chen Yu, this point will be confirmed sooner or later.If you say that the identification is wrong, you will lose your reputation.Therefore, the best way at this moment is to answer vaguely. "These two seem to be very knowledgeable. As for whether it is true or not, I will have to observe for a period of time before I can be sure." Wu Chen said. "Then I'll hand them over to you! Observe carefully!" "Yes, as ordered." "People come to visit this headquarters from time to time, and there may be people who know Zhang Er and Chen Yu among them. I will also pay attention to it." Chen Sheng said. If this is the case, something bad will happen - Wu Chen is a little panicked.If these two people are left here, their true identities will definitely be revealed and they will be appointed to important positions. Those two people cannot be placed beside Chen Sheng.Once they are gone, it is impossible to prove that they are the real Zhang Er and Chen Yu.Wuchen's mind moved very quickly. "There is a most practical and effective identification method." "Hey...how is it?" "Send them a task. If they perform well, it may be genuine; on the contrary, if they perform poorly, they can be judged to be counterfeit." "That's true. But what tasks are they assigned to do?" "Before the authenticity has not been identified, of course it is not appropriate to rashly let them take up important positions. I will soon go to Zhao, and when the time comes, how about using these two people to assist me?" "This idea is very good, let's decide like this!" Chen Sheng agreed to this suggestion on the spot. Although Zhang Er's suggestion of "abolishing the title of king" was not adopted, he was appointed as the deputy of the commander of the expeditionary force together with Chen Yu.Ge Ying, a sycophant, served as the general of the expeditionary force to the south. The 3,000 expeditionary force with Wu Chen as the general went to the north.Zhang Er was appointed as the captain of the left school, and Chen Yu was the captain of the right school. "Isn't it too contemptuous of us to join the expeditionary army as captains? I don't think we should forget about it." Chen Yu expressed dissatisfaction with this appointment. Although the lieutenant is an auxiliary role under the commander, the commander is a military official who was born as a businessman.Chen Yu thought it a great shame to submit to the businessman. "No, let's accept this appointment calmly!" Zhang Er said in a calm tone. "Did we live sixteen years of bitterness because we wanted to work under the merchants?" Chen Yu said angrily. "The times are different. Didn't that Chen Sheng come from a poor peasant family? Even such a person wants to be in the world, and the times have changed. Let's start from the beginning! Why not make meritorious service as a school lieutenant and then gradually get promoted? " "It's not that I don't know what you mean, but I just don't want to." "Aren't you afraid that I will step on your feet if you still say such things?" Zhang Er said.
