Chapter 122: Leaving the East (1)
In the Xianyang Xiangguo Mansion, Lu Buwei closed his eyes and listened to the reports of his subordinates. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Boom! Boom! Boom! β
LΓΌ Buwei knocked on the table very rhythmically, and after a long time, he suddenly asked, "What do you think the prince is for?" β
In front of Lu Buwei, a middle-aged man dressed in white with a smile arched his hand and replied, "In my opinion, there are only three people who ask for it." β
"Oh? Which three? Lu Buwei stroked his beard and asked.
"First, Meng Fu was in trouble this time, and the prince did not hesitate to risk being an enemy of the old Qin family to help Meng Fu. No matter how upright he is, after this incident, he will be partial to the prince in the future.
"Yes, go on."
"Second, Meng Fu's prestige in the army has increased in recent years, and the prince's move may also have the intention of winning over people in the army."
Lu Buwei nodded, did not interject, and motioned for him to continue.
"Third, I'm afraid the prince is a little annoyed by the old Qin people......"
"Smack!" Lu Buwei knocked on the table, interrupting the middle-aged man's words, and said with a hint of joy in his eyes: "Yes, the original appearance thinks the same!" β
"Xiangguo, the prince and the Chu family are destined not to go together, and the old Qin family is living too comfortably now, ignoring the prince's feelings. The so-called, heaven and earth, don't be a thief! The middle-aged man took two steps forward, bent down and saluted.
"Hahaha!" Seeing the middle-aged man's slightly urgent look, Lu Buwei laughed, "Okay! Ben left you at the beginning, and it was the right choice. Then, do you think that if we want to win over the prince, who will be more appropriate? β
"Xiangguo's subordinates are full of talents, so there must be a candidate for Xiangguo's own business."
"Well, there are a lot of people in the hands of the prime minister, but you are the only one who can have something to do with the prince." Lu Buwei squinted his eyes and said with a smile.
The middle-aged man raised his head with a little surprise and said, "Xiangguo, I'm afraid this is ......."
"Eh, you are the prince's uncle, and it is more appropriate for you to go. The others, I'm afraid that they won't even be able to enter the prince's mansion. Lu Buwei waved his hand and directly interrupted the middle-aged man's words.
The middle-aged man, that is, Ying Zheng's own uncle, Zhao Ling's eyes flashed a hint of gloom, but he turned away, and then said: "Since the prime minister has a life, it is difficult to resign." β
Lu Buwei said with a smile on his face: "Hehe, that's good. Tell the prince that the prime minister can promise the prince an official position of 800 quintals. β
Zhao Ling was shocked in his heart, the official position of eight hundred quintals is not very high, but it is also a position that is enough to discuss politics. For the crown prince who does not have any cronies in the court at present, it is no less than an extra mouth, and it can be regarded as a heavy gift.
"Yui, take your leave!"
After Zhao Ling finished saluting Lu Buwei, he turned around and walked out the door. If Lu Buwei could see his face, he would definitely be able to find that Zhao Ling at this time had the haze before, and his eyes were full of smiles.
"Sect Master, if you do this, aren't you afraid that he will secretly complete some private transactions with the crown prince?" Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind Lu Buwei.
"Hehe, don't be afraid. The character of their Zhao family is almost the same. All I want is a little bit of glory and wealth. Besides, except for the second eldest Zhao Yue, the Zhao family may also have some friendship with the crown prince, and the others are not to worry......" Lu Buwei said confidently.
"Understood."
"How's it going in the palace?" Lu Buwei put away the confidence on his face and asked with a serious face.
"My lord, it seems that he has already begun to target the crown prince...... the voice said succinctly.
"Well, you go back. Everything in the palace is up to you......"
"Sect Master, rest assured, this is the duty of his subordinates."
β¦β¦
"His Royal Highness the Prince, someone outside the palace asks to see ......"
Outside Ying Zheng's study, Zhao Gao's delicate voice sounded.
Ying Zheng frowned slightly. Now, Zhao Gao, as the prince's personal attendant, has a very high status in the prince's mansion. Generally speaking, some petty officials who usually want to curry favor with him, Zhao Gao will wittily stop him for him. can let Zhao Gao personally report it, and his identity must be special.
It's just that Yingzheng is still a little surprised. The person most likely to find him at this time is undoubtedly Lu Buwei, who is about to move. However, Ying Zheng also ordered that there would be no one from the Eastern family.
"Who wants to see you?"
This person's name is Zhao Ling, and he claims to be the queen's eldest brother. The slave didn't dare to choose, so she came to ask the prince. Zhao Gao's respectful voice sounded outside the door.
"Zhao Ling?" Ying Zheng frowned slightly.
For the Handan Zhao family, Ying Zheng can be said to have no good feelings, and even full of malice.
At the beginning, Ying Zheng fled back to Qin with the help of Bai Qi's Black Ice Platform. Before returning to China, he specially explained that Hei Bingtai had to take care of his mother.
But he didn't want to, but this Zhao Ling was one step ahead. Unexpectedly, before the Black Ice Platform moved, he had already escaped from Zhao Country with Zhao Ji and the Zhao family.
Then, it was through the credit of escorting Zhao Ji back to China. got a lot of rewards from his cheap father and winning son. It can be regarded as a foothold in Xianyang.
If that's the case, Ying Zheng won't care about anything. However, what surprised him even more. Zhao Ling actually took refuge in LΓΌ Buwei again.
LΓΌ Buwei was one of the goals that Yingzheng would get rid of in the future, and now, Zhao Ling took LΓΌ Buwei and undoubtedly caught the death bus. Coupled with the various behaviors of the Zhao family in Handan in the past, Ying Zheng couldn't help but be angry in his heart.
"Pass it to the middle hall." Although Ying Zheng hated Zhao Ling very much, Ying Zheng also understood that the person Zhao Ling represented at this time was Lu Buwei.
"In this case, it is also a good choice to meet Lu Buwei's people early......" Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, and he also had a countermeasure in his heart.
"Lu Xiangmen, Zhao Ling has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" As soon as he came up, Zhao Ling bent down and saluted, and made his identity clear. did not mention his identity as Yingzheng's uncle, and took the lead in putting himself in a lower position.
"Uncle, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are a lot older." Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Ling, and there was no trace of blood in his warm and nostalgic words.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has now become a dragon and phoenix among people." Maybe it's because the status disparity is too big now, or maybe it's because he has a trace of guilt in his heart, Zhao Ling has kept his head down, and he doesn't dare to look at Yingzheng.
"Uncle claims to be a guest of Xiangguo, I don't know if Xiangguo has any entrustment when he comes today?" Zhao Ling didn't dare to look at Ying Zheng, but Ying Zheng's eyes kept looking at Zhao Ling.
"Xiangguo often said that he has been in poor health recently, and there is no one available in his hands, and he is struggling with government affairs. Today, Zhao Ling came to ask for some talents for Xiangguo. Zhao Ling lowered his head and arched his hand again.
"Talent?" Ying Zheng squinted his eyes slightly, and he also had some understanding of what Lu Buwei meant in his heart, "Lu Xiang is too modest, who in the court doesn't know now, there are many talents in Lu Xiang's mansion, why do you need to go to this prince to ask for talents?" β
Ying Zheng's words made Zhao Ling frown slightly, and he began to think about Ying Zheng's meaning in his heart.
"Uncle, let's go back, and tell Xiangguo for the prince that there is no one worthy of a big responsibility in the prince's mansion." Ying Zheng waited for a while, and when he saw that Zhao Ling didn't answer, he spoke again.
Ying Zheng's opening, Zhao Ling still couldn't understand the meaning of Ying Zheng's words, and now he was relieved in his heart, and said confidently: "Your Highness, rest assured, before leaving, Xiang Guo has already informed you." The prince's eyes are like torches, and the people he appreciates must have something outstanding, and he will definitely be able to hold the post of 800 responsibilities. β
"Oh? Really? Ying Zheng listened to Zhao Ling's words, and his eyes lit up. A position of 800 quintals is a very good gift for Yingzheng, who has no one in the court at this time.
Although Ying Zheng mastered a lot of the power of the Qin State by relying on Bai Qi at this time, even, with these powers, Ying Zheng could directly ascend the throne as king. But these forces are all in the shadows, and if they are brought to the table, they will definitely cause great turmoil.
What is important is a stable and powerful Qin State, not a Qin State full of holes. This is also the reason why even if there are 200,000 Lantian Ruishi Yingzheng now, they still have to endure it.
"Xiangguo is in love. In this case, if there is a talent in the future, the prince will definitely recommend it to Xiangguo. Ying Zheng stood up and said.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince!"
"Well, Zhao Gao, send off!" Ying Zheng accepted the benefits of Lu Buwei, and he didn't plan to say anything to Zhao Ling, so he drove people away.
"The prince stays!" Zhao Ling saw that Ying Zheng was about to leave, and hurriedly spoke.
"What else is going on with my uncle?" Ying Zheng frowned and asked back.
"The things that Xiangguo explained were completed in the next. Now, I still have some personal matters I want to talk to the prince about. β
"Oh?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Ling, but saw that Zhao Ling also raised his head and looked at him without a shout.
