Han Fei, Zhang Cang and Li Si looked at Lü Buwei in surprise, the reason why they came to Lü Buwei was because they failed to persuade Yingzheng, thinking about it, only Lü Buwei was left in the entire Xianyang City who could advise Yingzheng now.

But to the surprise of the three, Lü Buwei not only advised Yingzheng, but was also rejected by Yingzheng.

"Are we just watching Fang Shi mislead the country? In the name of alchemy, these monks took out a lot of money from the treasury for their own squandering. Zhang Cang said hatefully.

Although Zhang Cang's character doesn't like to meddle in things, his most basic morality and professionalism are still there, and he can't see these monks squandering the treasury in the name of alchemy, but the money squandered by these people is the tax of a village and town with a large population.

"Now there is only one way, ask Wang Shi to return to the dynasty. The king may not listen to me, but the king will definitely listen to the king. Lu Buwei paused and continued, "Even if the king won't listen to Master Wang, Master Wang will have a way to solve this matter." ”

Li Si and the three looked at each other when they heard this, and they also thought about Ziyou, but now that the battle against Baiyue is at a critical moment, the battle report on the front line seems to be very good, but it is precisely because of this that they don't want to alarm Ziyou. Bai Yue's performance was too wasteful, which made them suspect that Bai Yue must have some backhand ready to counterattack when the Qin army relaxed their vigilance, so they didn't dare to alarm Ziyou.

Compared to the battles of the front-line army, these alchemists are not worth mentioning at all.

"Let the junior brother prepare the problem of the army with peace of mind, as for these alchemists, I will find a way to deal with them." Li Si got up and said.

"Senior brother, what are you going to do?" Zhang Cang asked curiously.

Li Si did not speak, but saluted Lu Buwei and left. Looking at the back of Li Si who resolutely left, a complicated look flashed in Han Fei's eyes, and Zhang Cang's face became ugly.

"In that case, you guys go back, Tonggu has made a choice, and the rest depends on whether it can succeed." Lu Buwei said.

Zhang Cang and Han Fei got up, saluted Lu Buwei and left.

After the two left, Fusu, who had been hiding behind the screen, walked out, looking at the backs of the three of them leaving, Fusu's face was also serious.

"Father Zhong, Tingwei is an indispensable pillar of my Qin State, I can't watch him take risks like this." Fusu said.

"The king is now bent on going his own way, what can you do?" Lu Buwei said in a deep voice.

"This" Fusu was also stumped for a while, and he also persuaded Yingzheng, but the final result was the same.

"Okay, the achievements you have made in the Chu State are obvious to all in the world, you just came back, go to the harem to accompany your grandmother and queen mother, as for the affairs of the court, you don't have to interfere. You have to remember that you are the future king of Qin, no matter how bad the situation is now, as long as you are still there, there is hope for Qin, and the future of Qinguo will not be chaotic. Lü Buwei said.

Anyone can risk death to persuade Yingzheng, but Fusu cannot, because Fusu's identity is the prince, and Yingzheng seeks to get the elixir, Fusu to persuade, the first Yingzheng can still be regarded as the son's filial piety to the father, and the second time is tantamount to making Yingzheng suspicious of Fusu.

You don't let me ask for the elixir, you can't see my immortality, do you? Or do you want to become the King of Qin? Moreover, Fusu's exploits in the state of Chu have won the hearts of the people of the world, and everyone thinks that Fusu is the unique king of Qin in the future, and the land of Chu is said to be loyal to Qin, but it is more like allegiance to Fusu, and the land occupied by Chu is half of the Qin state, and it has a population of seven million. Once Yingzheng has such a mind, then no one will break the law to keep Fusu.

Fusu clenched his fists unwillingly, but in the face of reality, he could only be helpless.

"I see." Fusu said.

"Go, go to the harem, as for this matter, we'll deal with it." Lu Buwei lovingly touched Fusu's head and said.

"Yes."

After Fusu left, the smile on Lu Buwei's face disappeared, replaced by a cold one.

"Tonggu, Tonggu, you're still young, leave this kind of thing to me, this old thing." Lu Buwei muttered to himself

"Someone is here to invite Gongzi Jiang Lu and Gongzi Gao to come to the mansion." Lü Buwei shouted outside.

"No!"

Han Fei and Zhang Cang, who left the Wenxin Marquis Mansion, had a somewhat ugly face.

"Senior brother, are we really just watching?" Zhang Cang said.

Li Si's final resolute departure has already shown his attitude, if Yingzheng still does not listen to the advice, Li Si is ready to exchange his own life for the lives of these Fangshi.

"No, I'll write a letter to Ziyou when I go back, and make sure he comes back." Han Fei said.

"But the war on the front line," Mr. Zhang said.

"Wang Jian is still here, as long as Ziyou orders Wang Jian well, Wang Jian will definitely not let the war have problems." After Han Fei finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

Soon a letter flew out of Xianyang and was sent to Baiyue, and by the time it was delivered to Ziyou's hands, it was already half a month later.

After Ziyou got the letter sent by Han Fei, he suddenly sat up and shouted

"Oh no, something happened!"

"What's wrong?" Concubine Yan asked nervously.

"See for yourself." Ziyou handed the letter to Concubine Yan.

Concubine Yan said after reading it

"This Fang Shi should be Yun Zhongjun. Yun Zhongjun colluded with the descendants of the Protoss to go to Xianyang, wasn't it your plan? ”

"This is indeed my plan, but I didn't expect Yun Zhongjun to play big. Senior brother, they didn't know about this plan, so they really thought that Yun Zhongjun had bewitched the king and made the king obsessed with alchemy, and it was useless for the courtiers to take turns to admonish him. Senior Brother They found Lu Buwei, but Lu Buwei had no choice, so Senior Brother Li Si was ready to exchange his life for the lives of Yun Zhongjun and these monks. Zi Lobby said.

"What!? Li Si is he a court lieutenant, or a future prime minister, is he crazy? Concubine Yan said in surprise.

"Senior brother's heart only has this world, on the one hand, the world is stable, and the king is working hard. On the one hand, he uses his own life, and if he exchanges his life for the former, the senior brother will not hesitate to do it. Ziyou said.

After setting up a goal for Li Si at the beginning, Li Si's mentality has long changed, the original hamster toilet rat has long been left aside by Li Si, and now he only thinks about setting up a future for this land.

"According to you, your plan may be ruined because of Senior Brother Lis's loyalty?" Concubine Yan didn't know what to say for a while.

"Now we have to go back immediately, I'm afraid it's not just the senior brother who thinks so, according to my understanding of the ministers, if these alchemists really go too far, if they don't get it right, it will cause the court to rise up and attack them." Ziyou said.

"But what about here?" Flame Spirit Ji asked.

"Dongyue, Minyue, Ouyue, and Yangyue are all under our control, and there is only one Cangwu and Dianguo left, as long as Wang Jian fights steadily and cooperates well with Tianze, it is enough to stabilize Baiyue." Zi lobbied and asked people to prepare pen and ink, others can go, but the things that should be explained must be explained.

In order to completely pacify Baiyue, Qin Jun, Tianze and Baijia are indispensable, after Ziyou wrote three letters, he sent someone to hand over the three letters to Wang Qian, Tianze, Zhu Jia and others, and then quickly returned to Xianyang with people.

On the way back to Xianyang from Baiyue.

"Let's take a break here and then get back on our way." Ziyou led the three of them into a teahouse and said.

"Okay."

After the four of them handed over the horses to the little servant, they entered the teahouse to drink tea and rest, and while the four of them were drinking tea, the words of the merchant at the adjacent table attracted Ziyou's attention.

"Recently, Xianyang has not been peaceful, first the king was deceived by Fang Shi and addicted to pills. Later, the two sons took the youngest eighteenth son, Hu Hai, to set off fireworks in Xianyang, and as a result, they accidentally burned down a restaurant in Wenxinhou, but fortunately there were no guests inside, only a dozen monks were burned to death. ”

Concubine Yan looked at Ziyou and whispered

"It seems that we are still late, Senior Brother Li Si didn't make a move, and Wen Xinhou did it first."

"It was a surprise." Ziyou nodded and said.

"Two seven or eight-year-old children with an infant baby actually set fire to Wen Xinhou's restaurant, and it was none other than those Fang Shi who died, why did Wen Xinhou start to use such inferior means." Flame Spirit Ji also complained.

Although Lü Buwei is now idle at home, it does not mean that Lü Buwei has no way to deal with these alchemists. As long as Lü Buwei wanted to, Lü Buwei could use many methods to kill these alchemists quietly, instead of using such crude methods.

"Because of the king. The reason why Lü Buwei used such a brutal method was to tell everyone that this matter was done by himself and had nothing to do with other people, and even if it did, it was borrowed from the hands of the three sons. Ziyou said.

"It's to protect the prince." Flame Spirit Ji said.

"That's right. The king claims that alchemy is for longevity, and what is the goal of immortality? In order to hold power forever. So who in this world is most worried that the king will hold the throne forever? Only the heirs of the Great King. And Lü Buwei has a close relationship with the crown prince, Lü Buwei killed these monks, it is easy to be suspicious, and thus involve Fusu, so he will use such a clumsy method. Ziyou said.

"This is over, are we going back?" Concubine Yan asked.

"Go back, if I don't go back, I'm afraid this matter won't end. Yun Zhongjun can't die yet. Ziyou said.

After learning about this, Ziyou's original plan to rest for half a day turned into a meal, and then the four of them continued on their way.

Xianyang.

Ying Zheng looked at the general Lu and Gao who were kneeling in front of him, and Hu Hai, who was also one of the arsonists, was crying because he was hungry, and he had already been hugged and handed over to the nurse to feed him.

"Let's talk about it." Ying Zheng looked at his two sons with a headache and said.

There are not many sons of Ying Zheng, but there are also a few, and the ones who can make Ying Zheng remember their names are Fusu, Jianglu, Gao and Hu Hai. Fusu is the eldest son, so he can remember that Jiang Lu and Gao are because these two people are too capable of causing trouble. As for Hu Hai, it is because this is his youngest son, who was born half a year ago, so Yingzheng still remembers.

"Erchen knew that he was wrong, we really didn't mean to. The eighteenth brother had never seen fireworks when he was young, so we thought about taking the eighteenth brother to see the fireworks. Jiang Lu said.

Hearing Jiang Lu's words, Ying Zheng was full of black lines, Hu Hai had just passed a hundred days, he could understand what fireworks, and fireworks were also set off at night, what are you doing with fireworks during the day? Thinking of his two trouble-making sons thinking of such a stupid reason, Ying Zheng didn't want to speak.

Jiang Lu and Gao looked at Yingzheng who was full of black lines, and both of them were very scared. At the beginning, Lü Buwei looked for the two of them, and Lü Buwei coaxed them so that they couldn't find the north in a few words, and then went to do it, and only after seeing the fire did he realize that he might have been deceived.

"Two fools, you can read more books if you have nothing to do, and next time at least find some valid reasons, instead of using such excuses." Ying Zheng rubbed his head and said.

"Has my father's headache been done again? It must have been those monks who deceived their fathers and deserved to be burned to death. To deceive the king is to be punished with death. Jiang Lu hurriedly said.

Gao on the side also followed up and said

"Yes, that's right. deceived their father, they committed the crime of deceiving the king, and letting them be burned to death can only be said to be their luck. ”

"You two get out of here!" Ying Zheng looked at the two and said.

"Thank you, Father." After pulling Lu Gao and bowing to Yingzheng, he ran away.

Looking at the two who fled, Ying Zheng's face showed a helpless smile.

"Although these two little guys are not as clever as Fusu, they can barely be said." Ying Zheng said.

"Both sons are smart people." Zhao Gao echoed on the side.

"I didn't see it. These people are dead, let's die, send people to do a good job of cleaning up the aftermath, as for these two little guys, first put them in the inner court as a punishment. Ying Zheng said.

"No!" Zhao Gao said, "King, Master Wang is back. ”

"Teacher? He's back? Ying Zheng said in surprise.

"That's right, Master Wang sent back the piece of music before, saying that many matters in Baiyue have been settled, and the rest of the things can be handed over to General Wang Qian, so he came back early." Zhao Gao said,

"I didn't expect this incident to alarm the teacher, and when the teacher came back, let the teacher come to see the widow." Ying Zheng said.

"No!"

The next day, Xianyang reported that Gongzi Jiang Lu and Gongzi Gao were sent to the inner court and confined, and then Li Si proposed to investigate clearly and then deal with it, and soon the Tingwei Mansion began to investigate the cause of the fire, but in two days, Tingwei investigated clearly.

The reason for the fire was caused by the drunkenness of these monks, and one of the surviving people said that they had drunk too much, compared to alchemy, and used the wine jug as an alchemy furnace, and then lit the candle, and one of them accidentally broke the candle, and then the fire was ignited, and the two sons were simply wronged.

With the testimony of the parties, the public opinion about Gongzi Jiang Lu and Gongzi Gao quickly went down, and the same matter of Fang Shi was also diverted.

Although the ministers in the court were unwilling to let the matter of the monks end like this, only two of the dozen monks were burned by a fire, and this fire also woke up the two monks, and the ministers stopped worrying about this matter for the time being.
