"Yang Ming?" Hearing this name again, Lu Qi was slightly stunned, and when he looked intently, he realized that his father Lu Buwei was in front of him a file about Yang Ming, and there were even more vermilion annotations on it.

"Well, there is still too little text on it after all, I want to hear more specific content." Lü Buwei looked at the name on the bamboo slip and seemed to be quite interested in this name.

"The basic situation is similar to that recorded in the bamboo slips, as for more things......" Lu Qi couldn't say anything for a while.

"Can't you see it?" Lü Buwei looked at his son, somewhat disappointed, it seemed that he was destined to have no successor.

"Please also ask my father to make it clear." Lu Qi has been a little more careful, in the Lu family, Lu Buwei is not only his son, if Lu Buwei is completely disappointed in him, then his status in the Lu family in the future is really unimaginable.

"Yang Ming's father, Yang Xi, have you done an investigation?" Lü Buwei asked.

"Yes, Bai Qi's pro-soldiers back then, but more information can no longer be investigated, and after Bai Qi's case back then, the information of those pro-soldiers around him seems to have been erased." Lu Qi said.

"That's just been erased from the text, and some of those people are still alive and well, and useful information can still be found from their mouths, but you didn't do it."

"I only saw the reason why these people in Baihu Village would help Yang Ming, but I couldn't see the information behind these people, Yang Xi, a member of the Yang clan, is even more of a descendant, if it weren't for Bai Qi's case back then, he might be the head of the Yang family now, even if Yang Duanhe saw him, he would have to be called the head of the family." Lu Buwei said.

"I didn't know that." Lu Qi said.

"What did you order the people who collected the net to lure him to Xianyang?" Lü Buwei asked again.

"Father, I think this person is extremely talented, not a thing in the pool, I want to attract him to Xianyang and cultivate it, and over time, it can be a great help for our Lu family." Lu Qi regained a little confidence this time, Yang Ming's matter, if it weren't for his long-term vision, who would have noticed a young man thousands of miles away.

"In the past, Hengshan united a group of thieves to attack the Hu people and intercept property, and then there was Yanmen who used the power of a soldier to become famous in the northern frontier, such a person deserves to say that he can notice the things in the north of Zhao in Xianyang, which you have done well, but since he has entered Xianyang, why don't you ignore it?" Lü Buwei questioned.

"Father, I'm thinking of observing and seeing if he's worth more of our investment." Lu Qi had been a little more careful.

"You want to emulate me when I did strange things, but you are afraid of losing the cost?" Lü Buwei asked.

"How dare I compare with my father, but ......" Lu Qi hurriedly said, but he was stuck, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"I used to exhaust the accumulation of three generations of my Lu family for the sake of the first king, and at that time I was not afraid of losing money, but now what are you worried about?" Lü Buwei recalled.

At that time, a businessman in Zhao Du gambled all his net worth on a Qin State proton, once he was unsuccessful, let alone to recover the cost, and even his life could not be guaranteed, but that's it, Lü Buwei finally won the bet, and he became one of the top magnates in the world now.

"Do we still have to worry about this problem now that we have the things that the Lu family has? Even if he bets heavily on him, so what? ”

"If you've already decided, why do you have to look ahead and lose sight of the other?"

"The time is fleeting, and if you can't make friends with him and give him favor when he's at his end, how can you reap ten or a hundredfold of profit in the future?"

"If you know how extraordinary he is, can't anyone else see it? Aren't you worried about others getting ahead of the curve? ”

Lu Buwei threw out a series of questions, which directly made Lu Qi stunned, and then his face turned red, he was originally a scheming person, but in the face of questions from his father, he still couldn't collapse for a while.

"Yang Ming is capable, talented, and not a person without a background, such a person in Xianyang, it doesn't take long to get ahead, and when that happens, if you want to win over, I'm afraid it won't be able to get the effect you want." Seeing his son's embarrassed expression, Lu Buwei slowed down his tone.

"Father, after he came to Xianyang, I have been observing, although he has left the relationship of Meng Fu, but Meng Fu seems to be quite perfunctory to him, and just arranged a cold business for him." Lu Qi said.

"Do you think the guards of Ganquan Palace are cold?" Lü Buwei asked rhetorically.

"I guess so." Lu Buwei's attitude made Lu Qi unable to believe his judgment for a while.

"Soon it won't be." Lu Buwei said.

After Lu Qi's waiting, Lu Buwei spoke: "The Queen Mother is estimated to be moving out of Xianyang Palace soon. ”

"Father, why is that?" Lu Qi couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.

Now there are three queen mothers in the Qin State, namely the Empress Dowager Huayang, the mother of King Qin, the Empress Dowager Xia, and the mother of the current King of Qin, Empress Dowager Zhao.

At this time, it must be the Empress Dowager Zhao who was mentioned by Lü Buwei, among the three empress dowagers, the power of the Empress Dowager Zhao is the most powerful, because she is the mother of Qin Wangzheng, and now lives in Xianyang Palace.

But if the Empress Dowager Zhao moves out of the Xianyang Palace, she will lose control of the Xianyang Palace, and then lose the influence of the Xianyang Palace.

The most important thing is that Empress Dowager Zhao and Lü Buwei are allies, and once Empress Dowager Zhao's power is weakened, Lü Buwei cannot be unaffected.

"The king is seventeen years old, and it's almost time to get married." Lu Buwei said.

"What does it have to do with the prince and the queen mother moving out of Xianyang Palace?" Lu Qi asked.

"There can only be one hostess in Xianyang Palace, and the Queen Mother can live in Xianyang Palace as a mother before, but after the king gets married, it is not suitable to live there."

"The Queen Mother is willing to move out of Xianyang Palace?"

The importance of power, Lu Qi knows very well, the rules are there, but Empress Dowager Zhao can completely ignore the rules, who can force her to leave Xianyang Palace?

"Of course she is willing, don't forget, she is not only the Empress Dowager of Qin, but also a mother, or the mother of the king, the Empress Dowager may not want to damage her power, but the mother can willingly fulfill her son." Lü Buwei said this, revealing a trace of sadness.

"The Empress Dowager Huayang has discussed with the Empress Dowager to let the king marry the princess of Chu, so that the king can get the support of the Empress Dowager Huayang, and the Empress Dowager is guarding against me."

Qin and Chu since the late Spring and Autumn period to help the state of Chu in the hands of the state of Wu after the intermarriage, the relationship between them can be described as intertwined, more than two hundred years later, people with blood relations with the state of Chu have already become an extremely powerful force within the state of Qin, this force finally reached its peak in the period of the Empress Dowager Xuan.

At that time, Empress Dowager Xuan was in charge of the power of Qin with the dignity of the Queen Mother, and she shared the power of military and political affairs with her two younger brothers, even if she was a heroic lord like King Qin Zhaoxiang, she had to be wronged and seek perfection, and it was not until she was in her fifties that she really had the royal power of King Qin.

Although that force no longer has the power of the Empress Dowager Xuan when she was in power, its influence in the Qin State is still extraordinary, even if Lü Buwei is now the first person under the King of the Qin State, he must deal with it carefully.

"You say, if the Queen Mother moves out of Xianyang Palace, where will she move?" Suppressing the worries in his heart, Lu Buwei continued with the question just now.

"Father is talking about Ganquan Palace?" Having said that, how could Lu Qi not understand what his father was talking about.

"Ganquan Palace is now a cold palace, but soon it will not be, in the information you have gathered, I see that Yang Ming is now guarding the Qilin Pavilion, and he is the only person who has been able to hold on to that place in the past ten years, I think this person has already entered Wei Qi's eyes, he is already old, and I think he is ready to let Yang Ming take over his position." Lü Buwei analyzed.

"The captain of the Praetorian Guard of Ganquan Palace may not be worth much at this time, but once the Queen Mother really moves there, this position will be extraordinary, of course, if the Queen Mother moves to Ganquan Palace, it is still a question whether Yang Ming can become this captain, but do you dare to gamble?"

"So, do I have to start wooing and supporting Yang Ming now?" Lu Qi hesitated.

"Go ahead, although Yang Ming may not be able to become the captain of Ganquan Palace, he is the closest person to that position, if we help again, this distance will be even closer, you should know what that means." Lu Buwei said.

"Father, Liwu has a good relationship with Yang Ming, but I have other arrangements for Liwu, do I want to change my plan?" Lu Qi hesitated.

"Leaving the dance? The one in charge of training the salamanders? Lü Buwei asked.

"Yes."

"What's your arrangement?" Lü Buwei asked.

"Lurking in Chang'anjun's mansion."

"This plan can be canceled." Lü Buwei directly denied Lü Qi's plan.

"Father, why is that?" Although Lu Qi was hesitating, Lü Buwei's direct rejection of his plan still made him a little resistant.

"Chang'anjun, not only can we not limit his power, but we must help him increase his power in secret." Lu Buwei stroked his long beard and showed an unfathomable smile.

In Lu Qi's puzzled gaze, Lu Buwei continued: "You say, Chang'anjun's power is getting heavier and heavier, who is the one who is most worried?" ”

Lu Qi wanted to say that it was us, but thinking that his father would never ask such a stupid question, he hurriedly swallowed a few words that he wanted to say, and after a long time, he suddenly realized, and almost blurted out: "It's the king, it's the queen mother." ”

"Yes, it's the king, it's the queen mother, if there is only one voice in the court, Lu Buwei, then I will become the target of everyone, but what if there is another voice?"

"My power is not small in the Qin State, but no matter how powerful I am, I am still a courtier after all, and I do not pose much threat to the throne of the king, but Chang'anjun is different, the more powerful Chang'anjun is, the more difficult it is for the king and the queen mother to feel at ease, and the more they need me." Lu Buwei said.

"If that's the case, isn't it more important to let Liwu lurk into Chang'anjun's mansion?" Lu Qi asked.

"No need, a dancing girl can play a limited role in Chang'anjun's mansion, but if she is used on Yang Ming, it may be able to have a better effect." Lü Buwei said with a final word.

"Yes."
