Chapter 14 The First Powerful Minister in the World
"Sect Master, now that the general trend is clear, you are gambling with your own life, is the price too great?" Lu Buwei asked after thinking for a moment. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Fan Ju didn't answer him immediately, but looked at Lu Buwei.
Although Lu Buwei is over middle age and has been in business for a long time, under the gaze of a genius like Fan Ju, the pressure is also quite great.
Fan Ju smiled and said casually: "In addition to me, there are talents like you in the miscellaneous family, as long as you practice a little, you can surpass me." ”
"Poof!" Lü Buwei hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Sect Master, don't you dare!"
"Hehe, what are you afraid of? Since I have made up my mind to die, I naturally don't care about this position as the suzerain, and you don't have to be bound to this. ”
"No, I don't dare." Although what Fan Ju said was very good, how could the cautious Lu Buwei leave any handle for Fan Ju.
Seeing that Lu Buwei still looked sincerely frightened, Fan Ju nodded with satisfaction and said, "Buwei, I want you to come over this adventure, because I have something to tell you. ”
"But by the orders of the sect master!"
"When An Guojun succeeds to the throne, what are you going to do?" Fan Ju did not rush to assign tasks to Lü Buwei, but asked Lü Buwei in turn, which was also a small test of Lü Buwei.
"Back to the sect master, after An Guojun succeeds to the throne, judging from the current situation, he will sit on the throne for a year at most. Next ......"
"The plan is good, your pharmacological skills really deserve to be the best in my miscellaneous family!" Fan Ju nodded in satisfaction.
Lu Buwei hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Thank you for the sect master's teaching, if it weren't for the support of the elders in the sect and a large number of books and resources in the sect for reference, Buwei would not have achieved such an achievement." ”
Fan Ju stroked his beard, smiled with satisfaction, and said loudly: "You don't have to be modest, although you are from a business background, you can have such a high achievement in just ten years, which really shows your medical talent." It's a pity that your study time is still too short. If you can concentrate on the medical field, you will definitely not lose to my miscellaneous master Bian Que in the future! ”
Lu Buwei shook his head slightly, as if he was a little disapproving.
However, Fan Ju's reaction when he saw Lu Buwei was not angry, but very happy.
Lü Buwei and Fan Ju are both long-term people, although the medical craftsman is not very respected in today's Warring States, but it is also a matter of looking at people. There are many ordinary healers, so naturally they will not be looked down upon by those noble rulers, but when the healers grow to the level of national scholars, it will be a different matter.
Since ancient times, no one has been able to ignore death. Ordinary civilians or slaves, even during the Warring States Period, when taxes were heavy, would endure hardships and do their best to survive. Not to mention those nobles who have been enjoying life since birth and oppressing the people at the bottom?
Although there were also things like Mencius said in the Warring States Period, but it was just exchanging one's life for fame and fortune, if there was no certain benefit, who would be willing to die for no reason?
Therefore, when a miracle doctor who can live and die and have white bones appears, no matter what nationality, whether it is a commoner or a nobleman, he will undoubtedly be treated as a guest. Therefore, a seemingly indecent profession like a medical craftsman is often the one who is promoted the fastest. From commoners to nobles, others may need to throw their heads, shed their blood, and rack their brains, which can only take several generations to do, while the healer only needs a month, or even a day.
However, after all, the healer is just a person of a hundred workers. Although the position with the easiest access to glory and wealth, the power of the healer is undoubtedly almost equal to nil.
And the miscellaneous family, as a sect that is not favored or even looked down upon by other schools, has very few real talents. After all, in addition to a talent's own talent, personal experience and family training are also very important. In an era of intellectual monopoly such as the Warring States period, it was undoubtedly almost impossible for a commoner to be literate. Therefore, the real core disciples of the Hundred Schools of Thought are basically selected from the nobles in various places, and the most disadvantaged is the identity of a scholar, because only the identity of a scholar and above has the right to read and write. Even like Confucianism, such a big sect that advocates education without class, its top leaders must be from aristocratic backgrounds. Miscellaneous family, as a school specializing in the art of hundreds of crafts, how can there be how many aristocratic families can send talents to miscellaneous families? Therefore, there are not many people of insight in the miscellaneous family, and this generation can produce Fan Ju and Lu Buwei, which is already a coincidence within a coincidence.
Now, as the sect leader of the Miscellaneous Family, Fan Ju has successfully broken the Miscellaneous Family into the interior of the Qin Imperial Court. Fan Ju did not hesitate to pave the way for miscellaneous families with his life. Looking at the entire miscellaneous family, Lü Buwei will be the next ironclad sect master, how can he concentrate on studying the medical Tao?
Fan Ju looked at Lu Buwei, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became. Lü Buwei's "strange goods" were only famous in the trade route at first, and although he was a little famous among the Six Kingdoms, he still couldn't be elegant. However, when Fan Ju knew that he had actually applied the law of business to the prince of the Qin State, his eyes suddenly lit up. He also had to admit that such a method was very subtle, and he had never thought of it. Immediately, he secretly summoned Lü Buwei, secretly cultivated and guided, and took him as his successor. If it weren't for the fact that Lü Buwei or the miscellaneous family would be completely exposed under the nose of Zhao Ji, the king of Qin, Fan Ju really wanted to marry his beloved daughter to him, so that after his death, he could let Lü Buwei protect his family.
After looking at Lu Buwei carefully for a while, Fan Ju continued: "Buwei, I said earlier that I would not hesitate to take the risk to meet you this time in order to tell you something. I can tell you first, if this matter is handled properly, you will become the most powerful person in the Qin State since the king, just like the first minister Wei Ran! ”
Lu Buwei was shocked in his heart, the first minister Wei Ran, that is a famous figure in the history of the Qin State!
Wei Ran is a native of Wei, but he is a half-brother with Mi Yue, the little princess of the Chu clan. Back then, Mi Yue, as a marriage tool, married King Qin Huiwen. However, the emperor's harem has always been a battlefield where there is no smoke of gunpowder, a hell that eats people and does not spit out bones. Although Mi Yue is the princess of the Chu family, she is not very famous, not to mention, she is not the only princess of the Chu State in the harem of Queen Qin. Therefore, she naturally couldn't get the Chu people who were officials in the Qin State at that time.
However, Mi Yue was originally a woman with a blue heart, and the fierce and fierce palace fight soon transformed her from a fifteen or sixteen-year-old little girl who didn't know anything into a scheming strategist, captured the heart of King Qin Huiwen, and stood out in the harem.
However, Miyue is weak after all, and it is difficult for one person to support herself in the palace. At this moment, the Six Kingdoms joined forces to attack Qin, and took the opportunity to accompany King Qin Huiwen to inspect the military camp, she met Wei Ran, and at the same time recognized this younger brother who had never met before. And Wei Ran relied on his own efforts to defeat the Warring States of Qin in the Six Kingdoms and made great achievements. This surprised Mi Yue and surprised her, so she kept recommending his younger brother to King Qin Huiwen.
In this way, Wei Ran's status in the Qin State skyrocketed. Mi Yue continued Wei Ran and her identity as the princess of Chu State, constantly integrating the power of the Chu family, and finally used it for her own use. In the end, these sisters and brothers directly set aside King Qin Zhaoxiang, that is, the current King of Qin, one controls the royal power, the other controls the relative power, and the position is the first minister of the Warring States.
Thinking of Wei Ran's identity and status, and fantasizing about the situation after becoming the second Wei Ran, Lu Buwei's heart was constantly trembling, and his face was also trembling.
"Please, please make it clear to the sect master!" Lu Buwei was a little unfavorable when he spoke.
Lu Buwei's demeanor and demeanor were naturally not seen by Fan Ju at all, and his reaction was not unexpected by Fan Ju. If Lü Buwei really didn't dare to be interested in the position of the world's number one minister, there were only two possibilities. One is that he is not greedy for power, and the other is that he has greater ambitions than that. Not to mention the first, if Lü Buwei was the second kind of person, then Fan Ju would not hesitate to kill him. People like this kind of lack of greed will only do bad things at the last moment, burying the sacrifice and efforts of the miscellaneous family over the years. You must know that now is not the uprising at the end of Qin, there is no Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, there is no "prince and general Xiangning has a kind", the king can only be done by the descendants of the king, otherwise it will definitely rise up and attack it.
"No, you don't have to worry. I won't tell you my plan, I just want to remind you, I hope that when the time comes, you can react quickly, take over the power of the Qin State, and let us rise up! The more Fan Ju spoke, the more excited he became, and by the end he was already yelling out.
Lu Buwei listened to Fan Ju's words, and he was also excited. said it was for the miscellaneous family, but in fact, it was more for himself. Think about it, the first powerful minister of the first powerful country in the Warring States, this will definitely go down in history!
For Fan Ju not telling him the details of the plan, Lu Buwei was still a little unhappy in his heart. A hero like him, how can he be comfortable when he is controlled as a chess piece. However, Lü Buwei still chose to believe in Fan Ju. As for the reason, it's very simple, since Fan Ju killed Wu Anjun Baiqi, whether it is the Chu family, the Shandong family, or the old Qin family, the three largest power factions in the Qin State, it is impossible to tolerate him anymore. In other words, Fan Ju is already a dead man, and his life can be counted on his fingers. Moreover, unlike Lu Buwei's halfway into the miscellaneous family, Fan Ju was born in a miscellaneous family and grew up in a miscellaneous family, and he cares more about the future of the miscellaneous family than his own life. With this alone, Lü Buwei can trust Fan Ju with confidence.
