Chapter 3: It's better to believe what you have than what you don't!
Lin Mo looked at the broken teacup on the ground, looked at Brother Zhao suspiciously, and said, "Brother Zhao, why do you seem to care more about the safety of our Qin Kingdom than King Qin?" β
Brother Zhao's gaffe stemmed from Lin Mo's accurate statement about the current regime situation in the Qin State.
He really couldn't imagine how a businessman in the market could find out about these things that only the important ministers of the court and the central government knew.
And he can say it so accurately, as if he has witnessed everything that happened in the DPRK with his own eyes, and he can do it with his hands and eyes like this, Brother Zhao has already begun to doubt Lin Mo's identity.
Maybe this guy deliberately hides his identity in the market like him, but he is actually the son of a certain important minister in the court.
"The shopkeeper, I'm really embarrassed, I just accidentally broke your teacup with a trembling hand. When you settle the bill later, I'll give you some more copper coins. β
Lin Mo said: "It's okay, this teacup is not worth a few children, besides, who is with whom?" β
Lin Mo also had his own calculations in his heart, and he must not lose a big customer like Brother Zhao because of a tea cup.
In the future, he still expects Brother Zhao to patronize his teahouse more so that he can continue to operate.
"The shopkeeper, one yard to one yard. I should be compensated for knocking over the things in your store, our Qin country has strict laws, and we must not break the rules. β
Seeing that Brother Zhao insisted on giving more copper coins, Lin Mo did not continue to refuse.
"Brother Zhao, I can also understand your hand shaking. If we businessmen hear about some situations in the DPRK and China, we will not be very calm. β
Brother Zhao thought for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Shopkeeper, according to the meaning of your analysis, the war between Qin and Zhao was caused by the internal power struggle of the Qin State?" Can our monarch solve the problem of internal power? β
When Lin Mo heard Brother Zhao's words, he seemed to be a little unhappy about the emperor's ability to govern the country, and he was suddenly a little unhappy.
"Brother Zhao, let's drink tea well, don't worry about salty radishes. With our abilities, none of this is a problem. β
Brother Zhao listened to it in his heart, it seems that the shopkeeper in front of him is very confident in his ability to govern the country?
"Shopkeeper, it's understandable that you asked me not to go to Zhao Kingdom, after all, Qin Zhao will have a big battle. Then why can't you even go to the land of Bashu? β
Lin Mo's body shifted slightly towards Brother Zhao's side, and he whispered: "There is an epidemic in the land of Bashu, if you go, if you get infected with the epidemic, your life may be lost." β
In the Warring States, where medical technology was not yet developed, once the plague raged, it would definitely be incurable, and corpses would be everywhere.
After listening to Lin Mo's words, Brother Zhao was shocked, such a major news didn't even know about a king like him?
Lin Mo changed a cup for Brother Zhao, but Brother Zhao had no time to taste tea at the moment, and just wanted to investigate the two things in Lin Mo's mouth as soon as possible.
"Shopkeeper, I recently had a business that happened to be in the land of Bashu, what a coincidence, I have to go back and ask someone to go to Bashu to investigate. We'll see you later! β
Brother Zhao hurriedly threw down two copper coins, got up and left the teahouse.
"Brother Zhao go slowly, welcome to the shop next time!"
Lin Mo said and accepted the two copper coins beautifully, with these money, he could at least live in peace in the Qin State.
β¦β¦
After Yingzheng, who walked out of the teahouse, got into the carriage, the servants who followed him also returned.
"Zhao Gao, how did you find out? But someone in the DPRK leaked the news and leaked the news? β
"Your Majesty, the minister has already sent someone to investigate thoroughly, and the results will be available in a few days. But with such an important military task, who would dare to risk a capital crime to report to the enemy country? β
Ying Zheng played with the wrench in his hand, recalled what Lin Mo said in the teahouse, and couldn't help but ask Zhao Gao: "Zhao Gao, how much do you think what this shopkeeper said is true or false?" β
"My lord, the minister doesn't dare to speak falsely, but just a few words from the shopkeeper, he can't tell whether it's true or false. However, it is better to believe that there is something than to believe that it is not, and the king has to guard against it. β
Ying Zheng bowed slightly: "It's really rare for him to be so knowledgeable and talented, how good would it be if he could come to the court to assist the widow?" β
"But the king is not afraid that he is the son of a certain important minister in the court?"
"Zhao Gao, you should send someone to find out the life history of this shopkeeper as soon as possible, and the more detailed the investigation, the better."
"Whoa!"
Ying Zheng was also worried in his heart, and he only hoped that Lin Mo in this teahouse was a marketman.
If he has something to do with the important ministers of the court, then from now on he and Lin Mo will become separated.
But he just enjoyed the feeling of chatting with Lin Mo very much, as if he had a close friend by his side, he could speak freely and unscrupulously.
And in the court, he couldn't hear the so-called mantra at all, because everyone was afraid of his status as a king, but he became a loner.
The carriage returned to the gate of Xianyang Palace, but was stopped by LΓΌ Buwei.
Lu Buwei's eyes were sharp, and he scolded Yingzheng in the carriage: "There are important matters in the country that please ask the king to decide, and the king has not been in the palace, where has this gone?" β
Zhao Gao said boldly: "Prime Minister, the king is a little tired of handling government affairs, and the ministers accompany the king to go outside the palace to relax." β
Lu Buwei snorted and said, "The prime minister is talking to the king, when will it be your turn to talk too much?" β
Zhao Gao was so frightened that his legs were weak and he almost knelt on the ground.
At this time, LΓΌ Buwei was in power and the opposition, and even Yingzheng had to be a little jealous.
And Ying Zheng, who was in the carriage, frowned, clenched his fists, and wanted to tear his face with the arrogant and domineering Lu Buwei.
But as soon as he thought of the word "forbearance" that Lin Mo said, he immediately adjusted his mood and lifted the curtain.
He smiled and said, "Lao Zhong's father came to the palace to greet the widow, and the widow was flattered. Can't the middle father share the worries of the widow? In the past, state affairs were decided by the middle father alone. β
There are words in Yingzheng's words, and an old fox like Lu Buwei naturally heard it, the king is blaming him for monopolizing the government for many years!
LΓΌ Buwei Shili said: "The king is now in power, and many state affairs still need to be decided by the king himself, and the ministers dare not trespass." β
When Yingzheng was young, LΓΌ Buwei controlled the government.
And now that Yingzheng is pro-government, LΓΌ Buwei definitely does not want to leave people to say that he is greedy for power and refuses to return the government to the king.
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "What bothered the middle father?" Tell the widow about it. β
"The queen mother said that the feng shui of her bedroom is not good, and she wants to build a palace to live outside, and the king is asked to decide this matter himself."
"There is Lao Zhong's father to convey to the widow. Zhao Gao, go back to the palace! β
LΓΌ Buwei said, "Congratulations to the king." β
When the carriage arrived at the dormitory, the smile on Yingzheng's face froze before, and he had a more majestic look.
If he wants to really take power, he has to cross the mountain of LΓΌ Buwei!
And if you really want to cross this mountain, you must establish a certain prestige in the DPRK and China when you are in power.
He got out of the carriage, and after entering the dormitory, he said to Zhao Gao word by word: "Summons Li Si!" β
