A person lives a lifetime, and birth, old age, illness, and death are inevitable and final destinations for everyone. In this process, the so-called winning or losing is just the different scenery that each person sees while walking in this life, and nothing else.
Looking at the majestic main hall of Xianyang Palace, looking at the few familiar and unfamiliar faces on both sides of the jade steps below the main hall, looking at the twelve legendary golden figures in the huge square, and looking around the square
Seeing the endless crowds of people at a glance, Wang Wan, who was about to be buried with a head full of white hair and as skinny as firewood, couldn't help but burst into tears.
Twenty years!
It has been twenty years. How many more twenty years can a person have in this life?
Wang Wan thought that in this life, she would eventually die silently like her own Wang family, before the Wang family was annihilated silently, without anyone knowing about it.
He never thought that one day he would be able to stand alive again in the main hall of Xianyang Palace, where he was haunted by dreams, appear alive again in front of the civil and military forces of the Qin Dynasty, and once again appear alive in the sight of the people of the Qin Dynasty.
Wang Yan glanced at Hu Hai secretly, and whispered a few words in the ear of Wang Wan, who was stunned. Wang Wan just woke up from a dream, wiped the old tears in his eyes randomly, broke away from Wang Yan's arm, and carefully arranged it
After taking care of his robes, he prostrated himself and paid homage to Hu Hai, who was standing with his hands behind his back.
"Your Majesty, Wang Wan, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor. Long live His Majesty!"
Wang Wan's title is still Grand Concubine. Although he has no official position since he retired as prime minister, this title was the standard for official positions in the Qin Dynasty before Hu Hai reformed the official system. Although it has little significance now,
At this moment, Wang Wan is right to call him a subordinate.
Hu Hai could understand Wang Wan's complicated mood at this moment.
After falling from the peak of life to the bottom, and not being able to recover for twenty years, how many people can endure these wasted twenty years?
"Old love, please get back on your feet!"
This was the first time Hu Hai saw Wang Wan. From Wang Geng's mouth, he already knew that Wang Wan was still alive three days ago. It was unexpected and seemed reasonable. But what Hu Hai didn't expect was that Wang Wan was alive.
Ruos is already old.
On the droopy face covered with grooves, age spots of different colors were extremely eye-catching. Even on the back of Wang Wan's hand, Hu Hai also saw age spots as big as moss.
In this era, so many age spots appear on Wang Wan's body. Hu Hai knows that even if the age spots on Wang Wan's body do not become cancerous, he may not be able to live long.
There is not much introduction to Wang Wan in the original history. The only record is that Sima Qian's "The Chronicles of the First Emperor" mentioned a few points. There is no introduction to this man in the process of the empire unifying the world.
The actual contribution of the Prime Minister of Qin Dynasty, who was directly removed from the position of Prime Minister by the First Emperor because he was more conservative than aggressive, has no record in the history books. Not even the years of his birth and death.
Only Hu Hai knew that when the First Emperor was squeezing the limited war potential of the Qin Dynasty and frantically conquering the north and south, he could play the land of Guanzhong and provide the army with food, grass, soldiers, weapons, etc. in an orderly manner.
It cannot be said that Wang Wan did not make any achievements and did not make any contributions to the Qin Dynasty.
Perhaps the First Emperor also understood this at the time, and in order to finally implement the system of prefectures and counties to replace the enfeoffment system, and to stop the Qin ministers from talking, the First Emperor chose to directly take over the then Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, and firmly advocated that the Qin Dynasty follow the Zhou system
The enfeoffment system was adopted and Wang Wan, who was in peace with the world, was used as the scapegoat to frighten the officials.
This may be the reason why although Wang Wan was deprived of the title of prime minister, he still retained the title of concubine and chief and is still alive today.
It's not that Wang Wan has no talent, nor does he have no contribution to the Qin Dynasty. It's just that he made the wrong choice at the wrong time, and the First Emperor needed to find a "chicken" of sufficient weight at the right time, and then kill him
"Monkey" watch.
This time is obviously not suitable for Hu Hai and Wang Wan to reminisce about the past, because the auspicious time has arrived.
The simple sound of Huang Zhong and Da Lu played from the side of Xianyang Palace Square. This is the note of the vicissitudes of the Old Qin Dynasty. It is a true portrayal of generations of Old Qin people fighting against heaven, earth and man.
Hu Hai nodded to Wang Wan who stood up, and then slowly walked down the long jade steps.
Wang Yan supported Wang Wan and followed Hu Hai. Of course, they could not be walking on the emperor's royal road in the middle of the jade steps, but on the ministers' steps on both sides.
The ministers of the Qin Dynasty and countless nobles of the Xianyang family looked at Wang Wan who was staggering and felt extremely complicated. What on earth was the emperor thinking? No one knew. But everyone knew one thing. From today on, oh, no, from the king
From the moment Wan's son Wang Geng was directly promoted to internal history by the emperor's edict, the Wang Wan clan had officially begun to declare its return.
Everything happened in the emperor's mind.
A single thought can send a prestigious family from its peak to hell; a single thought can destroy a down-and-out family that has fallen into hell and instantly become a powerful and powerful person.
Wang Wan also met Hu Hai for the first time. When Wang Wan was still prime minister, Hu Hai was not born yet. It was Hu Hai's request that he appear at the National Memorial Day ceremony today.
Although the Wang Guan family has been keeping a low profile for twenty years, and even the aristocratic families in Xianyang have almost forgotten that there is such a once-prominent family, it does not mean that Wang Wan has never paid attention to it.
On the contrary, Wang Wan paid more attention to the situation in Da Qin than anyone else.
In the first ten years, Wang Wan focused on how the system of prefectures and counties led by the First Emperor and Li Si led to chaos in the world. In the next ten years, Wang Wan gradually understood some things, but what he focused on was how the Qin Dynasty could continue to survive in the precarious situation.
Just when the Qin Dynasty was about to overthrow, the young emperor in front of him stood up overnight. The autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves and led the Qin Dynasty from the precarious situation to visible prosperity. Wang Wan had already been somewhat curious about Hu Hai.
Wang Wan spent ten years trying to figure out the grudges between him and Li Si. But it was just a so-called dialogue about winning and losing in life that Hu Hai asked people from the Longwei Mansion to bring to Wang Wan.
How could Wang Wan not be surprised that the truth that took him ten years to figure out was revealed to him by a young man who was no more than twenty years old? What's more important is that this man is still the current Emperor of Qin.
From the look he had just made with Hu Hai, Wang Wan, who had already seen everything in the world, felt like a close friend for no reason.
Looking at the young emperor walking slowly on the imperial road, listening to the vicissitudes of Qin's music, Wang Wan's heart, which had been silent for twenty years, gradually began to beat. Various scenes from that year appeared in front of Wang Wan's eyes. Wang Wan found that his old and broken
His body was slowly being infused with vitality that he had not felt for many years, making it difficult for him to feel complacent.
