Gan Luo only walked around and finished dealing with Zhang Tang's matter, which surprised Lu Buwei. Seeing Zhang Tang coming with Ganluo, Lu Buwei was unhappy in his heart, he had previously refused to embarrass Zhang Tang intentionally, and asked knowingly, "What is the matter with Jun Lai?" ”

Sure enough, the baht must be compared, and the nature of the businessman will not be changed! With his temperament, if you offend him, how can you eat good fruit! Zhang Tang cursed and didn't dare to have the slightest color, and said respectfully: "Zhang Tang is determined to make Yan, and I have come to say goodbye to you!" ”

"Oh, then why did you reject this gentleman's intention before?"

Zhang Tang said suddenly: "I was afraid before, but after I went back, I woke up after thinking about it. I am a Qin person, and when I use people, I really shouldn't just care about personal interests, I am here! ”

This reason is bright and bright, Lu Buwei's color slowed down slightly, and said: "Come in first, this matter still needs to be discussed, and you can also come to the idea everywhere!" ”

"No!" Zhang Tang cast a grateful glance at Ganluo.

Lü Buwei caught a glimpse of all his thoughts, and said with a much more polite attitude towards Ganluo: "Sure enough, if you are talented, you are not old, so come together!" ”

"Yes!"

The three of them gathered, and Lu Buwei said to Zhang Tang: "You didn't intend to go to Yan Country before, so I didn't tell you in detail." In fact, you are going to Yan Kingdom, but the focus is on Zhao Kingdom! ”

Zhang Tang instantly remembered Ganluo's words, but pretended not to know: "Why is this?" ”

Lu Buwei said: "The war to destroy the Six Nations will inevitably be protracted, and it will not work unless the strength of the whole country!" I, Daqin, aren't ready yet!

First, the king has not yet been in power, and his orders cannot be unified. On both sides, the grain and grass roads have not yet been dredged, and once the war lasts for a long time, it will inevitably be frustrated! Third, although the six countries are weak, their strength still exists. Therefore, we must first continue to weaken the Six Kingdoms, especially the Zhao State! ”

There is a queen mother and an envoy holding one end each, and it is strange that the king can be pro-government! Zhang Tang complained in his heart with a sentence of duplicity: "What you say is reasonable!" So is the purpose of this trip to provoke the dispute between Yan and Zhao? ”

"Not bad! On this trip, you pass through Zhao to deceive the king of Zhao and my Great Qin to attack Zhao in the future, and if you want to retreat, you need to cut ten cities. King Zhao is afraid that he will inevitably give, and it is up to you to decide how much you can take. I will order the army to cooperate with the feigned attack on Zhao to help you. After that, you go to Yan Country and deceive Yan Country and say that I, Daqin, share Zhao State with him, so..."

In this way, Yan Zhao will inevitably fight. The mussels and cranes are competing, and I Daqin has the benefit of the fish! ”

"Exactly! When the two countries are at war, you will find a chance to come back. I personally ask the king for credit on your behalf! ”

"Thank you for your love!" Zhang Tang hurriedly responded to the errand.

Lu Buwei said that he was planning together, but he only cared about explaining and did not listen to the two of them. Gan Luo was not impatient, and secretly sneered in his heart! "If you are a businessman and proficient in calculation, you don't have to eat my footwater!"

After Lu Buwei finished explaining, he asked the two, "Do you two have anything to add?" ”

The two shook their heads and said silently, and Lu Buwei said with satisfaction: "Then I will report to the king!" ”

Lü Buwei entered the palace to meet the King of Qin, and King Yingzheng of Qin stood on the high platform and saw it from afar!

Lü Buwei has made great contributions to Qin, there is no doubt about this! But Ying Zheng felt very unhappy!

He succeeded to the throne at the age of thirteen, and is now twenty-one years old. A man is twenty and crowned, and the crown means that he has reached adulthood, but Lu Buwei has no intention of returning to power. Maybe in his opinion, he can't do without him, and Daqin can't do without him!

"Don't you think you're too greedy for power?"

"Oh, I forgot! You are originally a businessman, greedy for money in business, and greedy for power in officials! It's really the nature that doesn't change! ”

Ying Zheng muttered to the figure in the distance, with a cold light in his eyes! "You haven't changed, and I've changed!"

Ying Zheng can't help but think back to the past years!

When I was young, that figure was still a harbor that Yingzheng relied on to shelter from the wind and rain!

Maybe to put it a little earlier, that figure is not only his own harbor, but also his father's harbor!

His late father, Qin Zhuang, Xiang Wang Yingyiren, is still hostage in Zhao State. The war between Qin and Zhao is not stopped, and the hatred between the two countries is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea! What kind of treatment will there be as a proton of the enemy country, which is also deeply experienced by the proton who did it in Zhao State!

Those unbearable years may only be described as alive! It's just living!

Lu Buwei is a businessman, but he resolutely chose Yingyiren, who is in dire straits, as an investment, I have to say that his vision is extraordinary, his courage is outstanding, and his talent is outstanding!

"What are the benefits of ploughing the fields?"

"Ten times!"

"What about the benefits of selling pearls?"

"A hundredfold."

"What if the throne of our city is king?"

"Countless times!"

"Now working hard in the fields, it is not enough to have enough food and clothing, if you support the monarch to build the country, you can be the future generations. I decided to make a big deal. ”

This is a conversation between Lü Buwei and his father when he debuted, and the events that followed are familiar to almost every Qin person.

After that, Lü Buwei begged to see the stranger: "I can magnify the lintel of your house!" ”

The Qin people are reliant, of course the strangers don't believe it, and laugh and say, "Let's just enlarge your own court first!" ”

Lu Buwei took the opportunity to say: "My courtyard will only be bright until your courtyard is bigger."

Yiren immediately understood Lü Buwei's intention to take refuge and accepted Lü Buwei's kindness!

It's not hard to see why. Yiren is struggling in Zhao Kingdom, at this time, just like the long-thirsty crops need rain, even if Lu Buwei has no talent, Yiren has no reason to refuse!

During the negotiation, Lü Buwei said to Yiren: "Now the king of Qin is old, and your father An Guojun has been made the crown prince. But An Guojun now belongs to your brother Zi Jie, Zi Fu has a mother in the harem to take care of, you are in the middle of the line Dad ignores his mother and doesn't love him, after the death of King Qin, An Guojun succeeded to the throne as king, you don't expect this prince to be the throne. I can't return to the Qin State, and once Qin Zhao goes to war, I'm afraid that even his life will be difficult to spare. ”

Yiren said helplessly: "What can I do? ”

Lu Buwei said: "It is said that An Guojun loves Mrs. Huayang very much, Mrs. Huayang has no children, but she can participate in the election of the crown prince, so she can only start from her." This requires me to take a trip to Qin! ”

Lü Buwei took out a large package and gave 500 gold to Yiren as a daily life and guests in Zhao Kingdom. Lü Buwei took out another 500 gold to buy rare playthings, and took him west to the Qin State to lobby, and he decided to break them from the bottom to the top. The first step is to convince Mrs. Huayang's younger brother Yang Quanjun and her sister first.

Lü Buwei first went to visit Mrs. Huayang's younger brother Yang Quanjun, offered a good gift, and then said, "Your Excellency, do you know? Your sin is unto death! Your guests are all high-ranking and noble, but none of the prince's guests are noble. And there are so many treasures, horses, and beauties in your house, and to be honest, this is not a good thing. Now that the king is old, once he dies and the prince is in power, Your Excellency is in danger, and life and death are in the blink of death. “

Yang Quanjun was shocked. Lu Buwei said: "The villain has an expedient plan, which can make Your Excellency rich and stable for ten thousand years, and you will have no worries."

Yang Quanjun hurriedly gave up his seat and respectfully asked for advice.

Lü Buwei said: "The king is old, but your sister Mrs. Huayang has no heirs, and the son who is qualified to inherit the throne will definitely reuse the Qin ministers and Shicang after succeeding to the throne, and then the courtyard of Queen Huayang will be overgrown with artemisia weeds, and she will be depressed and cold." Now the son who is hostage in Zhao State has both talents and virtues, but unfortunately he does not have a mother to protect him in the palace, and he always looks west to look at his family and wants to return to Qin. If the queen can appoint another person as the crown prince, so that a different person who is not a prince can also succeed to the throne as the king, he will definitely be grateful for the kindness of Mrs. Huayang, and Mrs. Huayang, who has no children, will also have a future to rely on. “

Yang Quanjun said: "Yes, it makes sense!" asked Lü Buwei to enter the palace to talk to Mrs. Huayang. Lü Buwei talked about the intelligence and ability of the Yiren, and the princes and guests he befriended were all over the world, and he often said, "I Yiren regarded my wife as my own mother, and I cried day and night and missed the prince and his wife." Madame was very pleased. Lu Buwei took the opportunity to ask Mrs. Huayang's sister to persuade Mrs. Huayang: "I heard that those who use beauty to serve others will be less favored once the color fades. Now, Madame, you serve the prince, and are very favored, but you have no son, and do not make friends with a talented and filial man among the prince's sons at this time, and make him his heir, and treat him like your own son, then your husband will be respected while he is alive, and after his husband's death, your son will succeed to the throne and will not lose his power in the end. If you don't establish a foundation when your appearance is beautiful, if you wait until your appearance fails and your favor is lost, although you want to say a word to the prince, is it still possible? Now Zi Chu is virtuous, and he also knows that he is in the middle, and he cannot be set up as the heir in order, and his biological mother is not favored, he will take the initiative to attach himself to Madame, if Madame can really promote him as the heir at this time, then Madame, you will be respected in the Qin State for the rest of your life. “

When Mrs. Huayang heard this, she took advantage of An Guojun's convenience to euphemistically talk about the fact that the alien who was a hostage in Zhao was very talented, and the guests who came and went called him. Then he cried and said: "I am fortunate to be able to fill the harem, but it is very regrettable that I do not have a son, I hope to set up a son Chu as an heir, so that I can have a person to rely on in the future." An Guojun carved jade talismans with his wife, and sent a lot of gifts to Yiren in Zhao State, and asked Lü Buwei to teach him, so Yiren's reputation became bigger and bigger among the princes.

Lü Buwei had a beautiful and dancing concubine, and when the stranger saw this woman at a banquet in Lü Buwei's house, he liked her very much, so he stood up and toasted Lü Buwei and asked for this woman to be given to him. Lü Buwei was very angry, but after thinking about it, he had already spent a lot of money for Yiren, in order to catch strange goods, so he sacrificed this woman. After October (one says December), this woman gave birth to a son named Zheng, and Yiren made this Ji his wife.

Mrs. Huayang and An Guojun asked Zhao to send Gongzi Yiren back to Qin, but Zhao refused to let him go. Lü Buwei went to lobby King Zhao: "Gongzi Yiren is the beloved son of King Qin, but he lost his mother's care, and now Queen Huayang wants him to be his son." The king thinks about it, if the Qin State really wants to attack the Zhao State, it will not delay the plan to destroy Zhao because of a prince, isn't the Zhao State empty of hostages? But if he is allowed to return to China and succeed to the throne as king, Zhao Guo will send him off with generous gifts, and the prince will not forget the king's kindness, which is the practice of intersecting with courtesy. Now that King Xiaowen is old, once he dies, although Zhao still has foreign hostages, he has no qualifications to be close to Qin Xiangguo. So, King Zhao planned to send the Yiren back to Qin, but war broke out between Qin and Zhao soon after.

In the fiftieth year of King Qin Zhao, he sent Wang Qi to besiege Handan, the situation was very urgent, and Zhao wanted to kill Yiren. Yiren conspired with Lü Buwei and took out 600 catties of gold to give to the officials guarding the city, and was able to escape and escape to the Qin army camp, so that he could return to China smoothly. Zhao Guo wanted to kill Yiren's wife and son Zheng, but because Mrs. Yiren was the daughter of a wealthy family in Zhao Guo, she was able to hide, so the mother and son had to live.

After Gongzi Yiren returned to China, Lü Buwei asked him to wear Chu clothes and Jin to see Mrs. Huayang, who was originally from Chu. Mrs. Huayang was very pleased with his dress, thought he was very scheming, and specially approached him and said, "I am from Chu." So he recognized Gongzi Yiren as his son and renamed him "Chu".

King Qin Zhao died, and the crown prince An Guojun succeeded to the throne as king, and Mrs. Huayang became queen. One day, the king of Qin ordered his son Chu to try to recite a book of poetry. Zichu excused himself and said: "The child grew up in Zhao State since he was a child, and he did not have a master to teach and learn, and he was not good at memorization." The king of Qin just let him stay in the palace. Once, when Zi Chu took advantage of King Qin's free time, he said: "Your Majesty has also detained Zhao State, and there are not a few heroes of Zhao State who know Your Majesty's name. Now that Your Majesty has returned to Qin as king, they are all thinking about you, but Your Majesty has not sent even a single envoy to comfort them. The child fears that they will become resentful. It is hoped that the king will open the border gate late and close it early to prevent trouble. King Qin felt that what he said made perfect sense, and was amazed by his ingenuity. Mrs. Huayang took the opportunity to persuade King Qin to establish him as the crown prince. The king of Qin summoned the prime minister and issued an edict saying: "The widow's son, Shuzi Chu, is the most capable." So he made Zichu the crown prince.

Later, Zhao also escorted Zichu's wife and son Zheng back to Qin.

An Guojun succeeded to the throne of Qin and kept filial piety for a year, but died of a sudden illness only three days after his coronation, and was nicknamed King Xiaowen.

Zi Chu succeeded to the throne as King Xiang of Qin Zhuang. Queen Huayang, who is respected as his mother by King Zhuangxiang, is the Empress Dowager of Huayang, and her biological mother Xia Ji is honored as Empress Dowager Xia. Appointed Lü Buwei as prime minister, named Wenxin Marquis, and 100,000 households in Luoyang, Henan Province as his food estate. Lü Buwei's family had 10,000 slaves.
