Ying Zheng turned over and dismounted, and personally helped Lu Buwei up.

"The middle father doesn't need to be polite, please get up."

For Lü Buwei, Yingzheng is sincerely respectful.

Because he was taught by Lü Buwei himself.

Lü Buwei's existence, for him, is also a father and a teacher.

When he was two years old, his father, Yingzi Chu, left him and his mother and fled from HD, leaving their mother and son to be bullied in HD.

When he was eight years old, he watched this man named Lü Buwei hold the Qin State Festival and slaughter all sides in the court of Zhao State, coercing and seducing Zhao Wangdan to send him and his mother Zhao Ji back to Qin.

In the next five years, Lü Buwei, the man who brought him and his mother back to Xianyang from the dire HD, became his teacher.

While enjoying the love of his parents, he was given a strict teacher. Lü Buwei is a very dedicated teacher, even if he deals with government affairs until dawn, he will come to teach Ying Zheng, and the content is all-encompassing, from Confucian benevolence to Mojia non-attack, to military conquest and Legalist criminal law...... All the classic Lü Buwei will, it can be said that without Lü Buwei, there would be no him today.

Therefore, although in the eyes of outsiders, the battle between Yingzheng and Lü Buwei is a struggle between the king and the minister, and a struggle between the monarch and the minister, but in the eyes of Yingzheng and Lü Buwei, this is the test of a king's elders against a young rebellious king.

Lü Buwei wanted to see if this king, who had been taught by himself, could take back power from him little by little, and in what way.

And when Yingzheng succeeded in pro-government, it was also the time when Yingzheng successfully came out.

At that time, he was also worthy of Ying Zichu's trust and grace, and he was even more worthy of Ying Zheng's "middle father", and then unloaded the burden of power with peace of mind and enjoyed the joy of family.

Speaking of which, he is the Marquis of Wenxin of Great Qin, and has a rich fief of 100,000 households in Luoyang, but he has never become his own fief there, and he will set his foot on Luoyang half a step.

And after Lü Buwei got up, looking at Lü Buwei's increasingly scarce beard, as well as the gradually somewhat rickety figure, the tip of Yingzheng's nose was slightly sour.

At the age of more than forty, it may be considered a long life in ordinary people's families, but for the top magnates of a country and the Qin State, it is not a high life at all.

There are countless medical officers around Lü Buwei, and there are imperial doctors who consult him from time to time, and the food on weekdays is even more exquisite and abnormal, not only to nourish the body but also delicious, as well as all kinds of precious medicines to decoction and health decoction.

Therefore, according to Lü Buwei's way of life, sixty years old is not considered an advanced age, and seventy years old can be said to enjoy the longevity of ordinary people.

But Lü Buwei, who was only in his forties, was already so old and tired, obviously because he was too diligent.

When the words came to his mouth, Ying Zheng had a thousand words in his heart, but there were still Meng Fu and others on the side who still needed him to help him up, and he couldn't say too much.

Therefore, a thousand words are only turned into one sentence in the end.

"Father, you've worked hard."

Lu Buwei looked at Yingzheng who bowed down in front of him, did not avoid this salute, and snorted softly.

Maybe outsiders think that Lu Buwei's chuckle is a little disdainful and disrespectful to King Qin, but in Yingzheng's ears, he is obviously old, but he has to be strong in front of his juniors, just like an old father facing a young and strong son.

Ying Zheng shook his head slightly, got up and went to support Meng Fu on the side.

Although Meng Fu is over 70 years old and his beard and hair are all white, the old general's eyes are still full of essence, his body is strong, and his face is ruddy.

"Zheng, meet the old general."

For Meng Fu, Yingzheng also bowed, and did not call himself a "widow", but a "government", just like a junior meeting an elder.

This is not only a respect for Meng Fu, a veteran of the four dynasties who has made great achievements, but also a gratitude to Meng Fu.

Montessori's allegiance has brought too many positive effects to Yingzheng, and the act of sending his eldest grandson to him is a manifestation of Meng's loyalty to himself.

Moreover, Meng Tian had previously told the truth about the purpose of his grandfather Meng Fu specially transferring him to the Wusui camp.

Everything was as Meng Fu expected, Ying Zheng not only did not feel dissatisfied with Montessori's purpose, but felt Montessori's sincerity.

The kings and courtiers of the Warring States period did not have the loyalty concept of "the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die" in later generations, but the Mencius expounded that "the king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as a heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the king as a wolf. ”

The courtiers of the Warring States period regarded the king as a collaborator rather than the supreme.

I came to your company and started a business with you, can you, the major shareholder and chairman, give me the fame and fortune to match my talents?

I can't give it, I'm sorry, I won't do it!

Do you dare to shake my face? I'm sorry, I'm probably going to kill you!

So, Montessori's political investment is a very normal thing.

Whether it is political investment or exchanges with friends, it has always been easy to add to the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow.

Montessori stepped up when Ying Zheng needed it most, so no matter what utilitarian nature of their purpose, Ying Zheng would not mind.

As long as the Mengshi disciples have enough talents, even if Meng Fu is an outsider from the Qi State, he does not mind that the Mengshi will replace the Wang Clan, the largest old Qin man in the Qin State.

And the last Duke of Qi, Yingzheng also bowed.

Although Duke Qi is a neutral faction and has never given Ying Zheng any substantial help, he still remembers the old general who gave him a big gift to help him secure the throne at the beginning of his accession to the throne.

"In the second year of the reign of King Qin, the Duke of Qi attacked the scroll and beheaded 30,000."

At the beginning of his reign, this old general led his troops to conquer Juancheng on the northwest border of Wei State, beheaded 30,000 Wei troops, and established his authority for the newly established King of Qin, so that the world could see that he, the young King of Qin, also had the ambition to go east to dominate the world.

"The old general is majestic and majestic, just like when he conquered Wei at the beginning of his reign!"

"If you face the alliance of the nations in the coming year, you have to ask the old general to come out!"

Even though this bearded and white-haired duke, although he is only over sixty years old, his physical condition does not seem to be as good as Mengfu, and he is no longer as burly and majestic as he was at the beginning of Yingzheng's ascension, but Yingzheng still praises it like this.

I heard that the Duke of Qi had been angry many times because the courtiers said that he was old and that his children advised him to return home, and even drew his sword on the spot to cut his second son.

And this kind of old general, the older he is, the more stubborn he is, and the more he refuses to accept old age, so Ying Zheng simply follows Mao, even if Gong Qi has always been serious and rigid, he can't help but smile in the face of Ying Zheng's praise.

Whoever said that he was too old to fight, his king did not think he was old!

Gong Qi stroked his long white beard and laughed: "If they really come, then the minister will personally behead several enemy generals to congratulate the king!" ”

Lu Buwei looked at Yingzheng, who was becoming more and more skilled in his means of winning people's hearts, and snorted lightly.

After all, he is the king he taught, and his disobedient appearance just now is not in vain, and it is clear at all.

However, no one else noticed, because Ying Zheng was smiling and praising Duke Qi's undiminished ambition and growing old and strong, and finally gave the ministers behind him a hand and motioned for the ministers to get up.

"Zhuqing, enter the city with the widow!"
