Chapter 143: Giving Advice (2-in-1)
The forbidden army in the palace of the king of Qin suddenly assembled, and the 15,000 soldiers of the forbidden army were assembled in the north gate of the palace in just half an hour, except for the 12,000 people who were on duty in the palace's daily defense. After Zhang Han finished counting the military power and handed it over to the king, 3,000 people left Xianyang and marched along the straight road in the direction of Shu County.
Meng Wu returned home and briefly told his wife about Meng Tian's assassination, but he did not tell Meng Tian's injury, but just asked his wife to take care of Zi Yanran at home.
The fetus in Zi Yanran's womb was still dead, and she had just slipped out of her mother's body the day before yesterday, and her body was very weak. In addition, Meng Tian is not at home now, and Meng Wu even instructed his wife not to tell Zi Yanran about Meng Tian's injury. After Meng Wu explained everything, he left Mengfu and rode into the night on his horse.
Five miles outside the city, Meng Wu caught up with the forbidden army led by Wang, this time the two went to Shu County with 3,000 forbidden troops, one is to take over the chariot of the future queen of Qin, escort it back to Xianyang, and the other is to capture the killer who assassinated Meng Tian, although the task is not very heavy, but it is not easy to complete.
In Xianyang City, the hall in the Xiangguo Mansion is brilliantly lit. Lü Buwei sat in the hall, enjoying the massage of the beautiful maid behind him, while drinking refreshing tea, looking at a letter that had just been delivered on the table.
The dark silk cloth used to write the letter was written on everything that happened in the city of Shu County, including the arrest of the five men in black, the sudden assassination of Meng Tian, and the extent of his injuries.
Lü Buwei shifted his gaze from the silk cloth to a black-clothed man kneeling in the hall, he stroked his not very long beard, and asked, "Are you saying that the five masters sent by the prime minister to assassinate the queen all failed, but the killer of the night owl who found the prime minister to cooperate succeeded?"
The man in black knelt on the ground and didn't look up, "Hui Xiangye, yes." ”
"Hmph, a bunch of waste, who have been raising them at a loss for so many years, can't do such a trivial thing. Lu Buwei said angrily. In fact, he was not worried that the five people who were captured by the Meng family army would confess themselves, and he, the lord of Xiangguo, who was in power over the entire Qin State, could not be defeated with just the confessions of a few killers.
Lü Buwei continued to say to the man in black kneeling below: "You go back first, continue to stay in Shu County to find out the news, and at the same time do something for the prime minister, you come here, the prime minister will talk to you." ”
The man in black stood up, respectfully walked over to Lu Buwei, and then poked his head out. Lü Buwei whispered his plan in the ear of the man in black, and then let him leave.
After the black-clothed man who came to deliver the news left, Lü Buwei sat on his seat and thought for a while, the assassination of the queen of Chu and his relatives failed, and the day after tomorrow, when the forbidden army led by Wang and Mengwu arrived in Shu County, there would be no chance of assassination, and it seemed that the marriage of the king had become a fact. If Ying Zheng gets married, then he will definitely take back many rights in his hands, if he has no rights in his hands, can he be sure that Ying Zheng will not do it to himself?
"Someone. Lü Buwei said.
The cronies and butlers beside Lu Buwei walked in, bowed down and said, "What do you command?"
Lü Buwei picked up the silk cloth on the table and burned it to ashes near the candle flame, and then said to the housekeeper: "You send someone to call Dong'er back from Yongcheng tomorrow, and then go to the back mountain of Lishan with the seal of Benxiang, and transfer all the people who have been arranged there to transfer back." ”
The housekeeper said respectfully, "Yes, Xiangye." ”
"Wait, is tomorrow the date when I and Mr. Han Fei agreed to meet?" Lu Buwei asked the housekeeper.
The housekeeper thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, Xiangye, you will meet Mr. Han Fei at Zuixiangyu at noon tomorrow." ”
Lu Buwei nodded and said, "Okay, you go and arrange it, tomorrow when the prime minister goes over, you can just send a car to pick up Mr. Han when you watch the hour." ”
"No. ”
On the second day of the palace early dynasty, Ying Zheng said in front of the civil and military of the Qin State Manchu Dynasty that the queen chariot was assassinated in Shu County, although the queen was fine, but Meng Tian, who was responsible for the queen's chariot protection, was seriously injured. After hearing the news, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty whispered one after another, but only Wang Jian and Lü Buwei were calm and calm, ignoring everyone's performance.
King Yingzheng of Qin sat on the throne and watched the reactions of the ministers below, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He looked at Lü Buwei, who stood there with his eyes closed, as if what Yingzheng said had nothing to do with him.
"Old fox. Ying Zheng secretly cursed in his heart.
Wang Jian knew about this last night, although the king did not say who the mastermind of this matter was last night, but Wang Jian could still guess it. After the king's wedding, he faced the pro-government, and once the pro-government was directly affected by the interests of the first to bear the brunt of the impact of the interests of the Xiangguo Lü Buwei, Lü Buwei held the military and political power of the Qin State in his hands, although he was in charge of the Qin team Shuaiyin, but because Yingzheng was not yet pro-government, so the power fell into the hands of Lü Buwei. Although he could dismiss Lü Buwei's order, once Lü Buwei issued an edict in the name of King Yingzheng of Qin, he could only obey his orders.
Ying Zheng opened his mouth and asked, "The widow doesn't seem to care about this matter at all." ”
Lu Buwei opened his eyes, glanced at the ministers of Qin State in the court with the corner of his eye, and then walked out of the queue and bowed slightly to Yingzheng, and then said: "King Qiqi, the prime minister drank some more wine in the mansion last night, and he hasn't sobered up yet, and his whole head is dizzy, and the minister didn't hear clearly what the king said. ”
After Ying Zheng listened, he saw that Lu Buwei didn't take himself seriously at all, and he snorted coldly and was about to get angry
, but saw Wang Jian shaking his head at him, so he didn't show it, just sat on the throne and didn't speak.
Wang Jian turned to look at Lu Buwei, "Lord Xiangguo, the king said that the queen was assassinated by a killer in Shu County last night, but the queen was safe and sound, but General Meng Tianmeng was stabbed with a sword, and now life and death are still uncertain." Ben will feel that there is something strange about this matter, so he would like to ask for the opinion of Lord Xiangguo. ”
"What does Old General Wang mean by this? The queen was assassinated in Shu County, and General Meng's life and death are uncertain, what does it have to do with the Prime Minister's country? Could it be that the king and the old general thought that this matter was done by the Prime Minister?" Seeing that Wang Jian was attacking him, Lü Buwei suddenly became alert in his heart, and opened his mouth to retort.
Wang Jian naturally didn't think that he had nothing to do with this matter because of Lu Buwei's words or two, he smiled and said: "Why should Lord Xiangguo be angry, the last general is just asking." Besides, the last general doesn't believe that this is the work of Lord Xiangguo, because the queen went to Xianyang to marry the king, and the one who does not want the king to marry should be you, Lord Xiangguo, don't you say?"
Lü Buwei ignored Wang Qian, he looked at Yingzheng on the throne, and said: "The king's wedding, the people of my Qin State and the Manchu Dynasty are full of expectations, and the same is true of the prime minister. As for what General Wang said, it is absolutely false. At that time, the prime minister helped the former king return to Qin from Handan, Zhao State, helped the first king ascend to the throne, and then spent gold and silver to rescue the queen mother and Wang Shang back to Qin. When the first king was dying, he handed over the power of the Qin State to the hands of the prime minister, that is, the prime minister handed over these rights back to the king after the king was in power, and the king could not listen to the villain's outspokenness, so he doubted the loyalty of the Qin state. ”
After Lü Buwei said these words, the courtiers who were vassals behind Lü Buwei walked out of the queue and knelt on the ground, assuring Yingzheng of Lü Buwei's fierce loyalty. Although Ying Zheng did not believe Lü Buwei's words of loyalty, but what he said was not wrong, he and the Empress Dowager's mother and son suffered a lot of humiliation from the Zhao people in Handan City, and in the end, Lü Buwei sent someone to rescue himself and the Empress Dowager back to Zhao, reunited with his father, and finally ascended the throne himself also has Lü Buwei's credit. But all this is not an excuse for your Lu Buwei's arbitrary dictatorship, Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei and sighed.
Wang Jian watched all the ministers behind Lü Buwei kneel down to protect Lü Buwei, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, you show loyalty to Lü Buwei at this time, and when the king is in power, Lü Buwei has no rights, see what you do?
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Lü Buwei left the palace, walked to his chariot parked at the gate of the palace, and ordered the groom to go directly to Zuixiangyu to meet Han Fei.
Since Han Fei and Meng Tian arrived in the Qin State, they met with the King of Qin on the second day. King Yingzheng of Qin has also admired Han Fei, a master of Legalism who is often on Li Si's lips, for a long time, so he ordered Li Si to bring Han Fei to see him. After meeting, the three of them plus Meng Yi sat in the Zhangtai Palace to talk about the affairs of the court, Han Fei also knew something about the government of Qin, and answered the questions raised by Ying Zheng one by one, which made Ying Zheng and Meng Yi very impressed.
After learning that Han Fei did not have an official position in Korea, Ying Zheng wanted to hire Han Fei as the Tai Lieutenant of the Qin State, specifically responsible for revising the laws of the Qin State, and his status was still above Li Si as the Taifu. Han Fei is a Korean, and he only wants to serve South Korea, and this time he came to Qin State, firstly, to meet Li Si, who he has not seen for many years, and secondly, to revise the alliance between Qin and South Korea. However, every time he said that he wanted to revise the alliance with Qin, Li Si bypassed the topic under various excuses, so for more than half a month, Han Fei had been bored in the room to read the books in King Qin's palace, in addition to telling the way of Legalism for King Yingzheng of Qin.
After staying in Xianyang for half a month, Han Fei suddenly received an invitation from Xiangguo Lu Buwei, although he knew that Qin Wang Yingzheng and Lu Buwei were at odds with each other, but if he could say that Lu Buwei and Korea had made an alliance with South Korea before Qin Wang Yingzheng's wedding, it would also be a good thing, after all, Lü Buwei's words are still more effective now.
Thinking of this, Han Fei agreed to Lu Buwei's invitation and agreed to meet the two in Zuixiangyu.
For Han Fei, Lü Buwei has the heart to recruit, Xunzi is recognized by the world, his apprentice Li Si is already so good, and he can become the prime minister of the Qin State Li Si has also made a lot of efforts, although he is now walking with Yingzheng, but it still does not prevent Lü Buwei from appreciating Li Si's knowledge, then for Han Fei, who is from the same school, Lü Buwei naturally believes that Han Fei's talent will not be under Li Si.
By the time Lü Buwei arrived at Drunken Xiangyu, the housekeeper had already taken Han Fei from the post house where he lived to Drunken Xiangyu and waited for him in the best room for Drunken Xiangyu. Lu Buwei got out of the car and saw the housekeeper waiting for him at the door, so he asked him to lead the way in front, and the two of them went directly to the third floor.
In the room, Han Fei was looking at the rare books and ancient books placed on the shelves in the room, and he didn't notice Lu Buwei and the big butler of Xiangguo's Mansion who walked into the room. The chief housekeeper saw that Han Fei did not react to his master, and wanted to step forward to remind him, but was stopped by Lu Buwei.
Lu Buwei asked the housekeeper to go out to arrange the banquet first, walked to the seat and sat down, and patiently waited for Han Fei to finish reading the ancient book in his hand.
It didn't take long for Han Fei to finish reading the ancient book in his hand, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but when he turned around, he saw a man sitting in the room. This man doesn't look very old, he has a not very long beard on his chin, his hair is bound by a hosta with an excellent texture, and he is dressed in purple clothes graceful and luxurious, and he looks like a great official of the Qin State who has lived in the country for a long time.
"Dare to ask, but Lord Xiangguo?" Han Fei walked up to Lu Buwei and bent down to salute and asked.
Lu Buwei stood up and grabbed Han Fei's arms
Zhi picked it up and said with a smile: "It's Benxiang, Benxiang just entered the house and saw that Mr. Han Fei was very interested in the ancient scrolls here, so he didn't disturb Mr. Yaxing." ”
Han Fei didn't expect this Lord Xiangguo, who was above 10,000 people under the Qin State alone, to speak so kindly, and said: "Lord Xiangguo arrived, he should have gotten up to greet him from afar, but he didn't want to be fascinated by reading a book, and he lost his manners, so I hope that Lord Xiangguo will not blame him." ”
"What is Mr. talking about, Ben has admired Mr.'s talent for a long time, Mr. is a person who reads, and it is common to love books, how can Ben Xiang blame Mr. for this. If Mr. likes the ancient scrolls here, he will order someone to give him these only remaining copies in the world. Lü Buwei said.
All the bamboo slips in this room are the only books left by the previous dynasty, all of which are left by the saints of the current universities, and in the eyes of some people, these are the most precious things in the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are priceless.
Han Fei bent down again at Lu Buwei and luggage, "No merit is not worth it, Han Fei is a student of a Legalist family, Xiangye doesn't have to be so polite." These unique books are only occasionally read by me, and they are useless to the Legalist doctrine that Han Fei believes in, so Xiangye does not need to be so polite. ”
Hearing that Han Fei refused his gift, Lu Buwei was not discouraged at all, and he continued: "Since Mr. is unwilling to accept it, then it is not difficult for others to be strong. I would like to invite Mr. Han Fei to see him today, but I want Mr. to ask for advice on something, I wonder if Mr. can help me?"
"Lord Xiangguo, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it, but there is an understanding in the next, and he will definitely teach him. ”
Lü Buwei slapped his palms, and then someone walked into the room with a plate of dishes, and then set them on the table between Lü Buwei and Han Fei, and finally put two bottles of fine wine on the table and left the room, and the chief butler of Xiangguo Mansion stood guard at the door.
Lu Buwei poured himself a glass of wine and saluted Han Fei, and the two drank it all at once. After pouring the wine again, Lu Buwei opened his mouth and said: "Mr. has been in my Qin State for more than half a month, and he already knows a lot about my Qin State. ”
Han Fei took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and after he put it down, he said, "I don't know what Xiangye said?"
"My king is going to get married soon, and my husband should know about it. ”
Han Fei nodded, he already knew in his heart what Lu Buwei was going to say next.
Lü Buwei drank a glass alone, then put down the glass and said: "According to the practice of my Qin State, after the king gets married, he can govern in person, and he can take back all the rights into his own hands. Mr. Bu said that the prime minister now holds the military and political power of the Qin State, and these rights will soon be returned to the king. Therefore, I want to ask Mr. to come up with the best of both worlds for my appearance, and I am grateful. ”
Han Fei naturally knew about the marriage between the King of Qin and the lord of Chu, and it was precisely because the King of Korea received the news of the marriage between Qin and Chu that he sent himself to the Qin State to seek an alliance with the Qin State. Today's Korea is surrounded by the four kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Zhao, and Chu, and it is not certain who will send troops to attack them one day, so it is better to find a strong backer than to be divided by others.
After Han Fei arrived in Qin, Yingzheng met with him and learned that South Korea wanted to ally with Qin, but he did not agree or refuse Han Fei. Later, in a discussion, China and South Korea had to learn that it was not impossible for Korea to form an alliance with Qin, but it was necessary to cede the two cities as sincerity. Han Fei naturally didn't want to do this, so he could only delay, until this time Lu Buwei invited him to meet, and there was still no news about the alliance. Therefore, Han Fei felt that instead of pressing the treasure on Yingzheng, it was better to press the treasure on Lu Buwei's body.
Han Fei sat on his seat and thought for a while, and then said to Lu Buwei: "I have heard about this matter, although there is nothing you can do about His Royal Highness King Qin's desire to take back the rights in the hands of Lord Xiangguo, but now there is a way to extend the time that King Qin cannot govern in person. ”
"Sir, if you have any good ideas, let's talk about it and listen to it. Hearing that Han Fei had a way, Lu Buwei's eyes lit up and he asked.
"Well, I also have something I want to ask Xiangye for help. Han Fei told Lü Buwei his terms, and he hoped to exchange the terms of the alliance between Qin and Han with the answer Lü Buwei wanted.
Lü Buwei was a shrewd man, and he said: "Regarding the alliance between the two countries, the prime minister will play my king tomorrow and make every effort to promote this for my husband." ”
"Good. Seeing that Lu Buwei promised himself, Han Fei was overjoyed. "The king wants to be pro-government, in addition to getting married, there is the most important person, but Xiangye ignored it. ”
After Han Fei said this, Lu Buwei remembered. "Sir is talking about the Queen Mother?"
Han Fei nodded, it seems that Lu Buwei is very smart. "That's right, if the king wants to be pro-government, he must first ask the current queen mother, if the queen mother does not allow it, the king's pro-government cannot be implemented, and he naturally does not have all his strength to take back the rights in the hands of the prime minister. ”
Lu Buwei had a smile on his face, and he said, "Mr. is right, how did you forget the Queen Mother." ”
"Now that the Queen Mother has moved to the old capital Yongcheng, it seems that she does not have a good relationship with the current king. So as long as the prime minister pleases the queen mother, as long as the queen mother does not speak for a day, the king of this right has no excuse to take back the rights in the hands of the prime minister. Han Fei took a sip of wine and said to Lu Buwei.
Lü Buwei raised his glass and said, "Since this is the case, the Japanese minister will go to Yongcheng to discuss this matter with the Queen Mother." ”
