Chapter 79 Waiting for the general, Lü Buwei strategized
Li You was soon escorted to Xianyang, and the King of Qin immediately beheaded him in the city, and the rebellion of Li Si and his son came to an end quietly.
On the top of the main hall, the king of Qin was rewarded for his meritorious deeds, worshiped Zhang Han as a general, commanded the armies of the border towns in the northwest, and his status was tied with Li Xin and Wang Ben, becoming one of the new generation of war gods of Qin. Lü Buwei and Zhao Gao were also rewarded, serving as prime ministers respectively, and Lü Buwei was given copper coins to reward him for raising the prince.
Lü Buwei donated all the rewards he received to serve as military funds for the Northwest Army, and said that at this time, the country needed a lot of money and food, and he was enough to cover the expenses of the government, so he could not ask for more than half a penny. The king of Qin was full of joy, and only praised Lu Buwei for knowing how to share worries and caring for the world.
After thanking the Queen of Qin, Lü Buwei returned to the mansion, and the housekeeper Lü Fu hurriedly greeted him and whispered in his ear, and Lü Buwei walked straight towards the secret room of the study.
When they entered the secret room, they saw that Zhao Gao and Zhang Han had been waiting in the secret room for a long time, and when they saw Lu Buwei coming in, the two hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you for your support, I will swear allegiance to the Lord and the queen to the death." After hearing this, Lu Buwei smiled with satisfaction: "You are the best of my Huaxia Society, and you have also contributed a lot in this operation, which you deserve." After speaking, he slowly walked to the tiger bench in front of the desk and sat down, looked up and asked, "I don't know what the two of you plan to do next." Li Si hurriedly replied: "My subordinates will definitely look forward to the adults in the future, and they will never oppose you everywhere like Li Si." After saying that, he kept smiling.
Lu Buwei hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, King Qin is suspicious, if you bow down to me everywhere, it will arouse his suspicion, and it will be greatly detrimental to our actions." You must go toe-to-toe with me on the surface, so that King Qin can rest assured that he will hand over government affairs to you and me, and he can eat, drink and have fun in the harem with peace of mind. After speaking, Lu Buwei laughed proudly. Li Si hurriedly echoed: "Your Excellency is wise, and your subordinates must follow the teachings."
Zhang Han also hurriedly bowed: "How the subordinates will act in the future, please show me." Lü Buwei turned his head to Zhang Han and said: "After you go back, you will write a war report on the Northwest War and present it to the king, you must exaggerate the situation and importance of the Northwest War as much as possible, and you must persuade the King of Qin to attract the attention of the Qin State to the Northwest War, and then nail the main force of the Qin army to the northwest to me." In peacetime, the momentum of war should be great, and it is also possible to appropriately destroy the enemy and plunder the land, but it is absolutely necessary not to force the dog into a desperate situation. Zhang Han happily accepted the order. After Lü Buwei explained some more details to Zhao Gao and Zhang Han, he sent someone to secretly send the two out of the secret passage.
Lu Buwei came out of the secret room, and as soon as he sat down on the soft chair in the study, he heard the voice of the prince Sikang outside the study: "Father, Kang'er has just finished writing an article about the rebellion of the Li family, and I want to ask Father to read it for guidance." Lü Buwei hurriedly got up from the soft chair, opened the door and ushered the prince into the house.
Lü Buwei took the article sent by the crown prince, and nodded his head while reading it, he couldn't imagine that the prince was so young that he could have a deep understanding of the affairs of the national court and analyze such a complicated political situation.
"What does Father think of Kang'er's writing?" Seeing that Lu Buwei had not spoken for a long time, Sikang couldn't help but ask curiously. Lu Buwei hurriedly put away the article and kept praising it: "Kang'er has really made great progress recently, it seems that I have a successor to Daqin, and one day, Kang'er will inherit the unification and will definitely make great achievements." I will leave this article for your mother, when she presents it to her, and your queen will be glad to read it. ”
Hearing Lü Buwei's praise, Sikang was very excited, and after thanking Lü Buwei, he left happily. Lü Buwei looked at Sikang's distant back, and his heart was full of emotion. Recalling that he had worked hard for half his life, he had no children under his knees, the prince had been fostered in his house since he was a child, and he had been with him for many years. Thinking that what he was about to seize was his world, Lu Buwei couldn't help but feel a faint pain in his heart, but what could he do? Isn't Zhao Ji, who is his biological mother, heartbroken? May God have mercy on him and reward him with half a penny.
But who has the evil fate ever favored, how can we be stupid and extravagant to ask for the mercy of the destiny, what we want is not to wag our tail and beg for mercy, but to rise up and resist, and this person who can lead us to fight against fate is Ji Kang, the monarch of Huaguo, so all actions must be under his command. Thinking of this, Lu Buwei was suddenly relieved, and continued to go back to the study to think hard about planning.
