An edict from Xianyang made Wang Jian both sad and relieved, the king of Qin unfortunately died, and the soldiers and civilians of Qin had to mourn, so it was naturally inconvenient to continue fighting. This sudden news resolved the embarrassing situation faced by Wang Qian, who immediately ordered the whole army to be stationed on the spot to strictly prevent the slippery army from taking the opportunity to sneak attack, and took the opportunity to withdraw the main force to protect the grain route.

The Xianyang Palace was already in chaos, and due to the sudden death of King Qin, the various ceremonial guards in the palace had not had time to prepare. Mrs. Huayang personally presided over the funeral, and Zichu specifically supervised it, and of course Zichu handed over all matters to Lu Buwei. Therefore, although the whole funeral was rushed, it was also carried out in an orderly manner. The major princes and nobles in Xianyang City, the princes and generals in the outer border all worshiped according to the rituals. After the worship, Mrs. Huayang gathered everyone and announced on the spot that the crown prince Chu was the new king of Qin, Zhao Ji was the queen, and Mrs. Huayang was the queen mother.

When I was in a foreign land, I was displaced, and I tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, and I thought that I would die in another place. Unexpectedly, the world is impermanent, and the sky rains down, and he met Lü Buwei by chance when he was down, and since then he has soared to the sky, and his fate has reversed, not only the beauty is in his arms, but he also ascended to the sky in one step and became the most powerful person in the world.

Zi Chu was full of emotion, and couldn't help but look back at Lu Buwei gratefully, feeling that this man must be an angel specially sent by the Emperor of Heaven to protect him.

Lü Buwei stepped forward and said to Zichu: "Congratulations to the king for going through all the hardships and finally ascending to the great treasure, and I will assist you with all your heart." Zichu said gratefully: "My brother has worked so hard for me, and my brother has been deeply grateful and cannot be repaid, so I swear to abide by the blood book covenant of the year, and when I share the world with my brother, I will worship my brother as the minister of state tomorrow when I go to the court, and have an overview of the court." After hearing this, Lü Buwei hurriedly bowed: "Thank you for the grace of the king, Lü Buwei is grateful for it." However, the choice of the queen mother for the prime minister is already in the middle of Zhang Yi, and the king must not be in a hurry. Zi Chu was furious when he heard this: "Zhang Yi villain, relying on the favor of the queen mother, often does not take this king in his eyes, and there is often ridicule and ridicule in his words, how can this king tolerate him." Lü Buwei advised: "The king must not act recklessly, now the court is all the queen mother's henchmen, and the generals in the army such as Wang Jian are also six or seven out of ten at his disposal. Therefore, please be cautious, walk on thin ice, slowly cultivate the power of his cronies, increase his strength, and wait for the opportunity when the time is ripe. Zichu knew that what Lu Buwei said was reasonable, so he no longer argued, and took Lu Buwei to visit Zhao Ji, who was pregnant.

Since Zhao Ji was pregnant, Zi Chu has been very baby, as long as it is what Zhao Ji ordered, Zi Chu does everything, and he is happy to do it.

On this day, Zhao Ji suddenly cried and said to Zichu: "The concubine dreamed last night that the sisters who were together in Zhao Guoyi's Red Courtyard back then, they were all bleeding and miserable, and now I see that I am developed, I hope I can read the friendship of the past and build a monument for them to build a tomb." After speaking, Zhao Ji lay on Zichu's chest and sobbed. Zi Chu hurriedly said: "The queen must not be sad and hurt her body, tomorrow I will let Brother Lu accompany you to the hometown of Zhao State, and I can rest assured that Brother Lu will take care of all matters, besides, Brother Lu and your sisters also have the love of master and servant, and it is reasonable to help take care of it." So Zichu sent someone to Lü Mansion to explain the situation to Lü Buwei, and Lü Buwei readily agreed.

Lü Buwei and Zhao Ji soon left the Qin State and came to Zhao Di, and the two sneaked into the secret room of Lü Buwei's former residence, and there was already a person waiting for them in the secret room at this time. Seeing this person, Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji hurriedly bowed down and said: "See the king, I heard that the king is happy to be in Lin'er, and the minister was unable to congratulate him in person, please forgive me." Yes, this person is Chen Xiang, Chen Xiang waved his hand and motioned for them to get up.

Chen Xiang walked over and helped Zhao Ji up and said, "My sister is pregnant, so there is no need to be polite." Turning his head and saying to Lu Buwei: "Brother Lu has also worked hard, I haven't seen you for many years, and I miss it very much." Lü Buwei hurriedly replied.

Chen Xiang walked up to the table and sat upright on the chair. Lü Buwei bowed his hand and said: "The Qin State is newly mourned, and Zichu succeeds to the throne, but the power is still in the hands of Mrs. Huayang. This old woman hates me to the bone, and has always been an enemy of the king, she has Zhang Yi inside, and Wang Jian is a general, and it is difficult for us to make a difference. ”

Chen Xiang settled down and said slowly: "Zhang Yi once studied under Guiguzi, and his vertical and horizontal skills are unparalleled in the world, and he is indeed a rare talent; Wang Jian is a famous general in a hundred battles, invincible and invincible, and he is indeed a rare general. After speaking, Chen Xiang immediately changed his words and said calmly: "However, human nature is flawed, and flaws come from greed and hatred, so as long as you are skillful in dealing with it, you can easily break it." Although Zhang Yi is talented, she is a money-hungry person; Although Wang Jian is wise and brave, he attaches too much importance to fame. But whoever has desires can play with fame and fortune in applause. Hearing this, Lü Buwei bowed his head and said: "The king is really wise, and the ministers should act according to the plan."

Chen Xiang laughed, and after laughing, he suddenly said: "Everyone has greedy thoughts, and this king is no exception. However, there are big and small thoughts of greed and hatred, and the profit that this king is greedy for is all the people of the world, one hundred and two mountains and rivers; The name of greed is the princes of Jiuhe, who dominate the country. Compared with the world's private name and self-interest, it is much greater, I am greedy, you are greedy, and I eat small with the big, which is justified. When Lu Buwei heard this, he thought it was true, so he threw himself to the ground and bowed down.
