Chapter 297: Undercurrent
Xianyang, Xiangbang Province.
There were many guests from outside the house, many of whom were study tours from the six countries of Shandong, who wanted to offer a letter of advice and gain the favor of Lü Buwei, so as to get promoted.
While the Shang monarch changed the law and turned the Qin State into a war machine, he also gradually broke the tradition of the aristocracy's monopoly on the military, allowing civilians and even slaves to gain access to the military, and also recruited many military talents for the Qin State.
For example, Meng Fu, who was originally from Qi State, was reused in Qin State, so that the Meng clan took root in Qin State and gradually became a wealthy family of soldiers.
Lü Buwei was a patriot, and when he entered Qin, he had no foundation at all, and he had nothing but money; Of course, even if Lü Buwei is rich, he is useless in front of his bloodline and identity.
The reason why he was able to rise rapidly was because of the trust and support of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang. Because the latter, as a proton, is also rootless.
Lü Buwei joined forces vertically and horizontally, grasped the pain point of the Empress Dowager Huayang's childlessness, and quickly established an alliance within the Qin State with Yingyiren as a link. So much so that the internal power structure of today's Qin State is still a continuation of the reign of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang more than ten years ago.
Lü Buwei made a strange move, and while becoming a great Qin Xiangbang under one person, it also accelerated the trend of Qin absorbing talents from the six countries of Shandong.
Because of his attributes and actions, he was destined to be impossible to cooperate with the native clans of the Qin State.
In the past ten years, there have been more and more guest secretaries in the Qin State. A large number of travelers from outside the Guan, among whom were talented, were used by Lü Buwei and filled the Qin State up and down.
And the rest gathered in front of the Xiangbang Mansion day and night, wanting to be favored. It's just that not everyone is like Li Si, who has the courage and ability to be favored by Lu Buwei.
A carriage gradually approached, and the guards of the Xiangbang Mansion parted the crowd. The wanderers gathered outside the Xiangbang Mansion were a little curious, who was in this unadorned carriage?
As the carriage door opened, the answer was gradually revealed, and the sharp-eyed person had already seen the appearance of the person walking down the carriage.
Zhao Shuang!
Many people read this name in their hearts, and their faces showed doubts.
The contradiction between the Keqing and the clan has been around for a long time, and it has gradually become acute, and now, it has become a contradiction between the various clans of the Qin State and Lü Buwei, to the point of not dying.
Everything is hidden in the undercurrent, but no one doubts the power hidden under the water, once it erupts, it will set off huge waves. And the power brought by this wave will engulf the venerable person in this Xianyang City today.
Among the clans, the one who is in the limelight is this Hanyang Jun Zhao Shuang. A few years ago, he rose rapidly, although he had no official position, but today, he has become an existence that no one can ignore.
A year ago, Chang'anjun rebelled, and many clans were implicated, and many of them were protected by this Hanyangjun, thus saving their lives.
This also made Hanyangjun's power stronger and stronger......
Many people think about it, but it is even stranger.
Zhao Shuang at this time, why did he come to Xiangbang Mansion? And looking at the attitude of the guards of the Xiangbang Mansion, it seems to be very respectful.
is not more suspicious than outside the house, but the Xiangbang Mansion is very clean.
The place where Lü Buwei entertained Zhao Shuang was in the side hall next to the middle hall - a very private place.
Lu Buwei stood in the hall and waved his hand slightly when he saw Zhao Shuang coming.
"Hanyang-kun is coming from afar, sit down quickly."
"Thank you Sangbang!"
The host and guest sat down and seemed to be very happy. It's just that a person suddenly appeared, but the originally harmonious scene changed.
"Chang Yu has seen Xiangbang, I have seen Hanyangjun!"
Chang Yu stood in the middle of the hall, and there was not a seat. Lu Buwei didn't seem to care about Chang Yu, so he stood there stupidly, drinking with Zhao Shuang all the time.
"Why is Changxin Hou still standing there, sit down!"
After a long time, Lu Buwei seemed to remember and sat down with Chang Yu. The other party blushed, but he also knew how to thank him and sat down.
Rank in the house: Lu Buwei is the main one, Zhao Shuang is the second, and Chang Yujing accompanies the last seat. Basically, in this banquet, only Lu Buwei and Zhao Shuang spoke, and Chang Yu had no qualifications to speak at all.
"Han Yangjun has gained something from this trip to the Central Plains?"
"Shuangben is a remote and despicable person, recently for the government of my king, procured a congratulatory ceremony, passed through Korea, met a giant thief on the road, fortunately with the help of Xiangbang, gave a military talisman, and solved the crisis." Zhao Shuang smiled and glanced at Chang Yu, "I heard that Changxinhou's family soldiers were originally in Sanchuan, and they also suffered from this giant thief?" ”
Chang Yu looked at the old and the young in front of him, and his heart was full of anger, but he couldn't help it. Maybe it's because I'm so angry that I can't even talk about it.
"It's... This... I..."
Seeing that Chang Yu's words were not good, Lu Buwei interjected.
"That giant thief is really hateful, the generals under the command of this prime minister reported that they found that the military village of Changxin Hou was on fire at night, and when they went to the rescue, they only saw the corpse of the general, and the giant thieves were nowhere to be found."
Lu Buwei sighed leisurely, looking very sorry.
"The general is also a brave general, and it is a pity that he died in that nameless place."
"Yes! It's a pity! ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Shuang clapped his hands, and Xuan Qian, who had been staying outside the mansion, led people into the hall and placed six long boxes on the short case.
"Hanyang-kun, this is ......"
Lu Buwei seemed to have some doubts on his face, but as the box opened, an inexplicable expression appeared on his face.
When Chang Yu saw the contents of the box, he stood up suddenly, his blood and qi surging, and his face was complicated.
Chaos, Zhengang, Broken Water, Spirit, Soul Turning, Soul Destroying, Seven long swords are placed in six boxes, and the blades are dull.
Sharp weapons are accompanied by blood, but at this moment, they are like ornaments, showing off something......
"The net is a sharp weapon, but the disputes in the rivers and lakes will eventually lead to gains and losses. Benjun has been in the Central Plains for several months, and after several tosses, he found these sword weapons, and today he specially brought them and gave them to the Marquis of Changxin-" Zhao Shuang said, and the words changed, "This time, don't lose them again." ”
Lu Buwei looked at this scene and didn't mean to care at all.
Chang Yu clenched his hands, his complexion turned from red to purple, his face was bruised, and he tried his best to suppress the killing intent and resentment in his heart; In the end, he turned his murderous intent and resentment into a bow, and Yin Yin said: Thank you, Your Excellency!
"Come on, the Marquis of Changxin is unwell, help him go down to rest first!"
Lu Buwei smiled lightly, recruited someone, and asked people to help Chang Yu go down first.
"Your Excellency is really a good means!" Lu Buwei looked at Chang Yu's distant figure and smiled leisurely, "It's just that a fierce beast is a fierce beast after all, and if you humiliate it, his revenge will only be more ferocious." ”
Zhao Shuang smiled and looked at Lu Buwei.
"So Xiangbang expects the revenge of this beast?"
Lu Buwei smiled and didn't speak, just raised the wine jue in his hand and drank with Zhao Shuang.
