Chapter 17 Lu Buwei was scared for the first time【For collection, for recommendation】
Yinggao slashed his sword crazily under the moonlight, venting his inner unease, excitement and madness.
“Peng…”
One sword after another, Yinggao is like a monster who doesn't know how tired he is, venting on the moonlit night.
Above the attic, Wang Jian and Wang Ben slowly faded away, and everything returned to normal.
…
And at this moment, Qin Wangzheng was also unable to sleep. He had already received a report from the old Tingwei and Guozheng Superintendent, and a mountain that was pressing on his head completely disappeared.
However, at this moment, Qin Wangzheng felt a sigh of relief, but at the same time a trace of emptiness rose, and a huge pressure hit him, making him even more dangerous.
He knew that a mountain had fallen, and there was another in front of him.
But, for Qin Wangzheng, his feelings for Lu Buwei were complicated.
He knew clearly in his heart that without Lu Buwei's help, he would not have been able to become the prince of Da Qin, nor the king of Qin, nor could he have defeated Concubine in one fell swoop in the Palace of Qinian.
But Lu Buwei's involvement with the Empress Dowager's wife, this thorn, kept the young King of Qin awake for a long time.
He knew that he not only wanted to conspire with Lu Buwei, but also wanted to destroy Lu Buwei...
At this moment, Qin Wangzheng didn't know which idea had the upper hand.
…
At this moment, Lu Buwei, who was in the Wenxin Academy, couldn't sleep either. Looking at the bright moon in the sky, he was full of thoughts and thought too much.
Many past events that have been floating in my heart for many years, at this moment, come to my mind one after another.
嫪毐 and the Queen Mother acted arrogantly. Every time he sat up in the middle of the night, no matter how many times he felt unbelievable, he still soberly calculated every detail of the matter countless times and wanted to make the final remedy.
However, the imposing concubine and the empress dowager full of **** have vaguely possessed the strength to compete with him.
The big mistake has been made. However, what saddens Lu Buwei the most is that he cannot solve this most embarrassing situation in the best way.
He once dispatched the most brilliant swordsmen to assassinate the concubine, but he escaped one by one. He also sent Mo Hu to the Liangshan summer palace more than once to persuade the empress dowager to give up the concubine...
It's just that the queen mother has already entered the pit, and he can no longer be pulled up by an old and weak body.
If all his plans had failed, and seeing that Concubine and the Empress Dowager were becoming more and more lawless, he would not have openly supported the king of Qin, let alone help the king of Qin to destroy Concubine and Zhao Ji.
Thoughts flickered in his heart, and Lu Buwei felt colder and colder. Especially when the academy students brought back the King Qin's letter to the court and the people, it made him even more disheartened.
The King of Qin regarded the Rebellion of Laoyu as a national humiliation and a legal humiliation, and his sharp edge pointed directly at his political strategy.
"The Book of Complaints to the Court and the Wild Subjects" even directly pointed out that his "suspended law and lenient punishment" was the source of chaos in the country. The Qin Dynasty should rectify the officials and clear the Qing Dynasty.
But he was the Marquis of Wenxin, but the prime minister of Daqin didn't know about it until after the fact, which made Lu Buwei faintly uneasy.
The moonlight was cold and cold, just like Lu Buwei's mentality at the moment.
"Marquis Wenxin, what a leisurely life..."
Just as the thoughts flickered in Lu Buwei's mind, and the dusty past kept reappearing, an old laughter came from behind, and Lu Buwei was instantly jolted.
He thought that he was so focused on things that someone walked behind him without realizing it, but the killer came today, and he was afraid that he had already fallen to the ground.
frowned slightly, Lu Buwei calmed his mind: "Gang Chengjun?" When he turned his head to see the appearance of the person who came, he couldn't help but smile, and said: "Come, sit under the pavilion—!"
Walking through a small road paved with bluestone slabs and entering the stone pavilion, Cai Ze shook his head: "Marquis Wenxin, the old man wants to drink Zhao wine, today you and I will rest when you are drunk!"
Lu Buwei smiled slightly and waved to the servant outside the pavilion. After a while, the servant brought the wine and food cart and placed the wine and food on the stone table in the pavilion.
Lu Buwei motioned his servants to step back, and poured a cup of wine for himself and Cai Ze respectively: "Gang Cheng-jun can drink as much as you want, I don't have much here, just drink a lot..."
"Marquis Wenxin, we parted today, I don't know when we can meet again..." Said, Cai Ze picked up the wine cup and drank it.
Lv Buwei was startled, he already had a guess in his heart: "Jun Gangcheng is in Xianyang, if he wants to drink with me, as long as he wants to..."
Hearing this, Cai Ze put down his wine cup and took a deep look at Lu Buwei: "This old man wants to resign, what does Marquis Wenxin think?"
Cai Ze's words made Lu Buwei's heart move. He couldn't help but said, "Don't worry, after a while, you and I will go together..."
…
The two talked for a long time. Cai Ze drank another cup of alcohol and patted Lu Buwei on the table again and again, saying, "This old man knows what you are thinking, but this old man just wants to tell you that you are wrong!"
"Your Majesty, the person who cares first about state affairs, not grudges and grievances, doesn't care about rumors!"
Maybe he was planning to leave. Cai Zezhi was so impassioned that he no longer had any scruples: "Wang Shu seems to be accusing you of running politics, but he is actually pioneering for you, putting the fault on the former king!"
"To tell the truth, the old man also thinks that the government should be rectified. Over the years, the officials have been messed up by the concubine..."
Hearing Cai Ze's words, Lu Buwei smiled faintly and said, "If that's the case, why are you leaving again?"
"In Qin Wu Gong..."
…
"Gun Cheng-kun!"
Lu Buwei lowered his voice unconsciously: "There are rumors: the king killed the two sons of Connie, how do you think you understand this?"
At this time, even though Lu Buwei's three thousand disciples were all there, he knew that such a matter could not be discussed at all.
If it wasn't for the arrival of Gangcheng-jun Cai Ze, he didn't know who he should tell him. Now that he has drunk a few cups of wine, Lu Buwei is not hiding.
"Ha ha…"
Laughing loudly, Cai Ze shook his head at Lu Buwei and said, "This is nonsense!"
"The old man and Zhao Gao entered the Dazheng Palace of Yongcheng together, and saw with their own eyes that the rebel army killed two sons by mistake. What does this have to do with the king?"
"This is just someone with a heart to slander the king!"
Having said this, Cai Zeyou said: "Speaking of which, this is also considered to be God's favor for the Queen Mother. Lord Changwen told the old man that since the Queen Mother was declared, there has been one more rule for the Ying clan."
"As long as it's the queen or the queen mother, no matter what your personal relationship is, if you give birth to an illegitimate child, the mother and child must be executed in the Taimiao together—!"
"Now that the two sons are dead, isn't there an argument for pioneering for the Queen Mother..."
…
"Hey…"
Lu Buwei let out a long hiss, and after thinking for a moment, turned to Cai Ze and said, "According to Gangchengjun's opinion, will the case of Empress continue to be punished, so that it will swept the entire court?"
This is what Lu Buwei is most worried about, because he knows that once this matter is investigated, there will inevitably be a large gap in the Qin Dynasty.
This will be a devastating blow to the now thriving Daqin.
