Chapter 377 The Secret of Yuxi
In fact, for Xu Yan, Pei Qing was willing to believe that he brought the jade seal here out of trust and loyalty to himself. After all, when he was in Chang'an, the double-deeds still established a deep friendship, but this was only emotionally. If Xu Yan alone contributed the merits of the jade seal, there would be absolutely no problem with matching genes to him, but Pei Qing could not determine whether he was loyal to him, which made Pei Qing feel a little worried. Once the other party's loyalty could not be guaranteed, he would have to be married in the future.
On the other hand, if Xu Yan is loyal enough, his loyalty will definitely be greatly reduced when he learns that Pei Qing can match the genes of famous generals. This will not only hurt loyal and righteous people, but also damage his reputation.
Pei Qing was hesitant and was in a bad mood that night. He played with the jade seal that Xu Yu sent in the tent alone.
It is said that this jade seal was made by Qin Shihuang from Heshi Bi. The jade seal is four inches in radius and is connected to five dragons. The front is engraved with eight seal characters written by Li Si, "I will be ordered by heaven and live forever." However, while Pei Qing was playing with it, he suddenly observed a detail. The corner of the jade seal wrapped in gold was a bit strange because there was a groove there, which looked like the USB interface of later generations.
"What's going on this time? Why is this groove so similar to the USB interface of later generations? How could it be such a coincidence? Is there any secret to this imperial seal?" Pei Qing was extremely surprised when he saw this groove, feeling that there might be a big secret hidden in it.
Fortunately, there is a data cable in Pei Qing's box computer that can connect to the USB interface, so Pei Qing tried to connect one end of the data cable to the computer host and the other end to a place suspected to be a USB interface.
In just a blink of an eye, a screen of reading data appeared on Pei Qing's computer, and then the computer showed: "Discover new unknown information, is it downloaded?"
Pei Qing is still relatively conservative about this. If there is a virus inside, his computer will be paralyzed. Once there is a problem with the computer, his gene matching will be no reference, and he will not be able to clearly know the attributes and characteristics of a talent.
So Pei Qing selected "No", but first browsed the information. There was an explanation document in it. After Pei Qing opened it, he saw a string of words written on it. The text said: "I accidentally traveled from two thousand years ago to this era and became Wang Mang, the nephew of the Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun. However, he did not dare to take out his advanced things to avoid shocking the world. So he diligently studied various knowledge of the current era and tried to integrate it. I also saw that the people lived a difficult life and were extremely serious in land annexed, and he also saw that the status of slaves and servants were bought and sold as commodities.
I really couldn't bear it, so I decided to reform and change this pyramid-like social system. Later, I took the ancient sage as a model and won a huge reputation for myself with my own morality. Finally, I forced my aunt to pass on the imperial seal to me. In the first year, according to the calculation of the Yuan calendar, I finally ascended the supreme position in 8 AD. I felt that my era had arrived, so I began a new law, combining my thinking on various unfair things in the current era with some measures in later generations, and implemented the new law in the name of retro. That was the new law I had long been looking forward to."
"I didn't expect that this statement was left by Wang Mang, and I didn't expect that Wang Mang was actually a time traveler." Pei Qing couldn't help but be surprised after seeing it. He originally thought that he was the only time traveler, but now someone seemed to have become a time traveler two hundred years ago. But he was very strange. Wang Mang was a time traveler and was supported by so many people. His reform was so advanced, why did he lose so quickly? And another point, what words did Wang Mang use to write these words?
Then Pei Qing continued reading with a heart full of doubts, and saw it read: "However, I was too eager to achieve success, especially the high-pressure policy of foreign races caused sharp contradictions. Of course, I can't blame me, because the power of the Han Dynasty at that time was not impossible to quell the rebellion of those foreign races. The key was that the nobles also opposed me. This was mainly because these reform measures that benefit the civilians touched their interests. Before I traveled through time, I always believed that ancient society was a pyramid-like structure, and the emperor had absolute power, but it was not until then that I realized that it was not like this. Although the emperor held the power of life and death, he was actually just an agent of the interests of those great nobles. No matter how powerful he had, he could only do things within the rules. Once he surpassed this rule, he would have surpassed this rule.
, they will inevitably be abandoned by them, and what makes me most helpless is that even the people who are benefited by me oppose me. Of course, this is not to say that they are ungrateful. It is because I encountered a once-in-a-century natural disaster that lasted for several years. The serious natural disaster did not feel the benefits I brought to them. Even their situation was not as good as before. In addition, some people had ulterior motives to promote, they thought that all this was my fault. What made me most desperate was that I met Liu Xiu. This person's luck was really good. Although I had traveled through time, it could not resist his luck. All the most talented people in the world served him. This led to my lack of truly talented people under my command. In desperation, I could only appoint the group of mediocre talents in the Wang family..."
Seeing this, Pei Qing couldn't help but sigh secretly. Sometimes things are indeed like this, and luck does occupy a large part. If a person's luck is so good, even mediocre people can become a sage. For example, Sima Yan was originally a mediocre person, but because of his good luck in the times, he actually became the monarch who unified the Three Kingdoms. His era sea was known as the rule of Taikang, and Liu Xiu's talent and fame may not be as good as Wang Mang, but his luck was so good. In the Kunyang War, he fought against Wang Mang's 500,000 army with more than 10,000 people.
He also won a great victory. It is said that in this war there were three visions to help him. A heavy fog helped him get out. A meteor shower encouraged the morale of the soldiers in his army. A storm directly killed more than 10,000 soldiers from Wang Mang. Later, Liu Xiu only brought dozens of people to Hebei, but when he came back, he brought more than 100,000 people. Such luck was praised by later generations as the "son of the plane" and the "great magician". Wang Mang had the identity and knowledge of a time traveler. He was also the emperor's brother. He once killed a "Liu Xiu", but he still ruined the world and could not even save his life.
The news that I saw later shocked Pei Qing: "After thinking hard, I finally concluded that all these failures were due to the word "loyalty". Liu Xiu won the loyalty of the most talented civil and military officials in the world. With the help of God, he finally won a great victory. Before I traveled through time, I was a gene researcher. After careful research on the ministers around me, I finally made a breakthrough and studied the relationship between human genes and loyalty. Therefore, although the civil and military officials under my command were not capable enough, their loyalty was unquestionable. It happened that I was traveling through time.
