Xianyang, Xiangbang Province

The drizzle fell from the haze like a constant sorrow.

The rustling sound of raindrops hitting the blue screen window makes people feel a little more worried.

But despite the rainy day, Xiangbang Mansion is still full of people coming and going.

As the Great Qin Xiangbang who now holds the real power of the Qin State's military and government, Lü Buwei's mansion naturally cannot be clean.

There are 3,000 customers and 10,000 servants under the door alone, and these people are not ordinary diners, almost everyone has a certain military, political or literary talent, otherwise they will definitely not be in Lu Buwei's eyes.

Among them, those with military and political talents were assisting Lü Buwei in handling important military and political affairs of the Qin State, while those with literary talents were compiling a book for Lü Buwei that he personally drafted.

This book is based on the "Taoist doctrine", and uses the ideological theories of famous scholars, Legalists, Confucianists, Mohists, peasants, soldiers, and Yin-Yang schools as the materials, and melts the theories of hundreds of schools of thought in one furnace.

Lü Buwei wanted to use this as the ruling program after the future unification of Great Qin, which was his biggest dream in this life besides seeing the unification of Qin.

As for the domestic servants, they were scattered in his mansions and fiefdoms in Luoyang and Xianyang.

In addition to these doormen and domestic servants, there are civil and military officials of all levels in the DPRK and China.

Whether they support Yingzheng or Lü Buwei, after all, the power of the Qin State is now in the hands of Lü Buwei, and many affairs need to be played by Lü Buwei, the prime minister, and can only be implemented with Lü Buwei's approval.

In addition, there are also scholars who have been preliminarily screened as talented people in the recruitment hall of the Qin State, who will be arranged to come to the Xiangguo Mansion and be arranged to a suitable position after Lü Buwei's examination.

Of course, since Yingzheng returned with military support, most people have reduced the number of times they come to Xiangguo's mansion, and many scholars recruited by the Zhaoxian Hall have also rejected Lü Buwei's guidance, but chose to join Yingzheng.

In this regard, Lü Buwei has never expressed any views, and he still only has government affairs in his eyes as before, and he has been working hard to deal with government affairs.

It's just that today, Lü Buwei had to receive a guest that he didn't want to see.

Lu Buwei looked at the slender and feminine man in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Chang Yu...... His former protégé also caused so much chaos, if he hadn't planned to take it as a test for Yingzheng and Zhang Ji, and didn't want to cause military disasters, he would have taken it down a long time ago.

"Lu Xiangbang, do you think that after Yingzheng is in power, he will really let you die a good death?" Chang Yu knelt in front of Lu Buwei, with a smile on her feminine face, "You and I both know that your best ending is to be deprived of your position and retain your title and return to the Luoyang fiefdom." ”

"But are you really willing?"

"King Zhuang Xiang can become the king of Qin, all thanks to you. Destroy the Eastern Zhou, Pinghe Zong, Wenzhi and martial arts, you Lu Xiangbang is worthy of Daqin, but you are not afraid that Daqin will be sorry for you? ”

"In the past, the example of Wu Xinjun Zhang Yi is still there, if Yingzheng is as cold as the king of Zhaoxiang, I am afraid that you Lu Xiangbang will not even have the right to return to the fief to retire."

Chang Yu looked at the silent Lu Buwei, and the words in his mouth spit out like arrows.

In fact, since ancient times, those who have been courtiers to the point of Lu Buwei will basically not end well.

Shang Yang is like this, Zhang Yi is like this, and Fan Ju is also like this.

Therefore, if Lü Buwei doesn't want to end up like Zhang Yi, who is trusted by the first king of Qin but feared by the new king, he can only cooperate with himself.

However, although he felt that Lü Buwei would be very uneasy under his words, it was himself who was most disturbed.

Because, his connection with Zhao Ji was actually broken!

Not only did the people sent not see Zhao Ji, but even if they went by themselves, they could only eat behind closed doors.

It was not only Zhao Ji who lost contact, but also the people he planted in the Ganquan Palace, and no one sent back a single bit of news, only a letter written by Wei Wei himself that there was no major incident in the Qin Palace.

But even though Wei Wei tried his best to confirm that there was no abnormal situation in the palace, Chang Yu still didn't believe it.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Wei Wei's loyalty, but he doubts Wei Wei's ability.

In the final analysis, Wei Wei Quan, Zuo Yi Quan, and Nei Shi Shi are all from the same market scoundrel background as him, if they fight, they have the courage of blood and qi that ordinary people do not have, but if it is to control the Qin Palace, he does not think that Wei Wei's means can be seamless.

However, it was the middle doctor Ling Qi, the first to serve him, a scholar from a reckless background in the market, whose methods were not bad, and his loyalty was also guaranteed to a certain extent.

It's just that Ling Qi has been following Ying Zheng for the past few days, and he hasn't noticed anything abnormal, so he thought that Zhang Ji was missing yesterday and was anxious.

But Chang Yu, who has been in the market all the year round, is still not at ease, and his intuition tells him that the matter has been revealed.

It should be that Heibai Xuanjian had already informed Ying Zheng of this matter, and Ying Zheng found a way to crack the psychedelic drug, thus cutting off his connection with Zhao Ji.

Chang Yu guessed that Ying Zheng was going to do it.

Therefore, he must be one step ahead of the government, and take the lead when he is not fully arranged, so as to have any hope of winning.

However, for this kind of rebellion, relying only on the loyal but incompetent subordinates like Wei Wei, Zuo Yi, and Nei Shiyan, Chang Yu was still a little uneasy, so he found Lu Buwei.

"The old man is the king's middle father, and now the king is a student taught by the old man."

"And I understand the king's temperament, at most, he just deprives the old man of all his official positions, and he will not be so ruthless."

Lü Buwei stroked his beard, and under his calm face, no one knew what Lü Buwei was thinking, but at least he bluntly rejected Chang Yu's invitation.

But Chang Yu laughed out loud, as if he had long expected Lu Buwei's words, and a wicked smile appeared on his feminine face: "If it is rumored in the market, the king is the son of Lu Xiangbang and the queen mother?" ”

Lu Buwei was stunned and reprimanded angrily: "What are you talking nonsense? ”

Chang Yu got up, rubbed his somewhat sore knees and calves without the image of a marquis, and smiled a little scoundrel.

At this moment, he seems to have changed back to the old market prankster, not the Changxin Marquis of Qin.

"Early this morning, I sent my disciples and servants to spread Lu Xiangbang's 'conspiracy'."

At that time, Lü Xiangbang followed the example of Chu Guochun Shenjun, and the shilling was conceived by the queen mother of Lü Xiangbang's concubine, and then dedicated it to the childless King Zhuang Xiangxian. Helping King Zhuang Xiangxian ascend the throne of King Qin is just so that his son can become the king of Qin, and he himself will become the 'master father' of Qin! ”

What a masterpiece Lu Buwei is, what kind of person does he not understand at this moment.

This is to separate him from Yingzheng!

At that time, the Qin State did not implement the control of speech, and this kind of rumor spread to the hundreds, and the next country in the world learned about it, and later generations of history books will not forget it.

And Yingzheng, the king of Qin, even if he didn't believe in this rumor, would be implicated by the rumors, and had to severely punish Lü Buwei, and even had to execute Lü Buwei to protect his reputation as the king of Qin and the Qin state.

"What a vicious ploy."

Lü Buwei gritted his teeth, he calculated everything about Qin and other countries, and calculated how to train Yingzheng into a king, but he really missed Chang Yu.

He underestimated the scoundrel in front of him.

Lu Xiangbang...... No, Lü Buwei! ”

"There's no way back for you!"

"Yingzheng won't let you go."

"It's better to fight with me, maybe there is still a chance of life."

"I don't have any ability to govern the country, if it happens, I will worship you as the prime minister of Qin, and entrust you with all the important military and political affairs of the country!"

Lu Buwei looked coldly at Chang Yu, who was in extreme confidence and gushing, and clenched the fist that was cut by his fingernails under the sleeve.
