In the imperial garden, Zhao Ji, holding a delicate lotion in her hand, walked side by side with Li Yunze.
Of course they were not the only two, there was a large group of people behind them.
There were so many eunuchs, palace ladies, officials, etc., even Li Si was among them.
At this time, there was no trace of envy or jealousy in Li Si's eyes, and all that remained was admiration.
Li Yunze's skill in picking leaves and flowers really impressed him beyond words.
This magical skill really shocked Li Si.
Coupled with Li Yunze's previous performance, in comparison, Li Si no longer felt jealous, and even helped Li Yunze hold his Chang Ge.
He was jealous of Han Feizi because he felt that since they all came from the same school, his abilities were not necessarily inferior to Han Feizi's.
The King of Qin favored Han Feizi, so of course he was jealous and wanted to frame him.
But here with Li Yunze, Wen Tao really surpassed him in every aspect of martial arts.
Because there are so many surpasses, there is nothing to compare with, so naturally there is no envy, jealousy or hatred.
Zhao Ji, whose face is as white as snow, has already raised her own question: "I, the Queen Mother, have done a good job and it is boring. Everything in the Qin Dynasty is decided by the Prime Minister, so I have become a seal."
Li Yunze knew what she meant, and he just wanted to find a way to deal with Lu Buwei.
He smiled casually and said, "Then change the phase?"
The prime minister is the head of the officials, and only the king can replace him.
Now the big seal that symbolizes the power of the king is in Zhao Ji's hand, and the king is her biological son...the biological son before they fell out, so it is not difficult to discuss the exchange.
only...
"Prime Minister Lu has saved our mother and son." Sure enough, Zhao Ji thought for a moment and shook her head decisively, "How can we fail him?"
Of course Li Yunze sneered at this kind of behavior.
The so-called kindness is nothing in the face of power and interests.
The only reason why I don't want to change phases is that I have no choice.
Zhao Ji, mother and son came from Handan and were struggling in Xianyang City without any helpers.
The only one who can be regarded as one of our own is naturally Lu Buwei.
Although I am dissatisfied with Lu Buwei's monopoly of power, who else can I trust besides Lu Buwei? Could it be these Xianyang people?
You must know that when Ying Zheng ascended the throne, Chang'an Jun Chengyu caused a huge chaos.
Although Yingzheng was extremely successful in the end, it also made Zhao Ji extremely distrustful of the people in Xianyang City.
If the phase changes at this time, all the people who are qualified to take over the phase will be people whom Zhao Ji cannot trust.
Li Yunze naturally understood this, and the reason why he said this was naturally to lead to the next words: "Since we can't change people, we must let Prime Minister Lu know that the Queen Mother is very angry and must make concessions."
After saying this, Zhao Ji's eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked, "How should we act?"
"Simple." Li Yunze's smile grew brighter. "The position of right prime minister is vacant. Just appoint a right prime minister."
When the prime ministers of Qin are together, they are called a state, but if they are separated, they are two prime ministers.
In the Qin Dynasty, the left was respected, so naturally the left prime minister had more power.
Since he wanted to give Lu Buwei a beating, he naturally arranged for people to share his power. Once the right prime minister was appointed, it would definitely make Lu Buwei more honest.
Zhao Ji understood and immediately beamed with joy.
But after a while, the joy on his face dissipated, "There is no good candidate."
As the saying goes, there is no one you trust enough.
"Queen Mother."
Li Yunze said calmly, "The trustworthy people around you don't fall from the sky. You need to take the initiative to find them."
What this means is, don’t always think about others approaching you on their own initiative. You can also approach them yourself and win them over.
Zhao Ji, who was not knocked unconscious by Lao Ai's wheel stick, had a good mind and understood what Li Yunze meant as soon as she heard it.
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed true. There are indeed many people who have hatred, but there are even more people who have no hatred and no resentment.
Winning this group of people together would be a great thing.
After withdrawing her thoughts, Zhao Ji had an even higher opinion of Li Yunze and said, "May I ask, sir, who is suitable for you?"
"Mr. Changping."
Zhao Ji paused and asked doubtfully, "Why? Mr. Changping is so young..."
"Gan...ahem, what I mean is that age is not important. What is important is that Lord Changping is a representative figure of the Chu family."
I almost casually mentioned that Gan Luo had to be granted the title of prime minister at the age of twelve, but luckily I remembered that Gan Luo had not yet appeared.
"Sir, what you mean is that this can be used to win over the Chu clan?"
"That's right." Li Yunze immediately explained, "Compared to the Qin State, the Chu family is also an outsider."
The word "migrant" undoubtedly touched Zhao Ji's heart, because she herself was a "migrant" from Zhao Guolai.
Since they are outsiders, there is a gap between them and the local people in Da Qin...
Li Yunze hadn't finished his words yet, "Prime Minister Lu is also a foreigner. If you don't act quickly, it won't be long before Prime Minister Lu recommends Lord Changping."
Compared to Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei is also an outsider. If he wants to gain a foothold in Qin, he must of course recruit people.
It is useless for the old Qin people to win over anyone except Ying Zheng, the King of Qin.
They are conservative and even stubborn. They are only loyal to King Qin and will never be won over by others.
Therefore, Zhao Ji, like Lu Buwei, has the only choices left to the outsiders and those who have settled down.
Zhao Ji might not be able to see such an important Chu family figure as Chang Pingjun, but how could Lu Buwei not see it?
The reason why I didn't take any steps to win over and build a relationship was purely because I had a conflict with the Chu clan at the beginning and needed time and energy to resolve it.
Hearing Li Yunze's words, Zhao Ji suddenly realized.
A pair of phoenix eyes looked at Li Yunze eagerly: "Sir, you are a great talent. Thank you for your advice. From now on, I will be rewarded."
After saying that, Zhao Ji was replaced by hundreds of generals in the imperial garden and scolded him, "Sir, he is a famous person valued by the king. How can you treat him like a palace guard?"
Hundreds of generals are also in danger of disaster, how could he have known that such things would happen.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fortunately, Li Yunze took the initiative to smooth things over for him, so Zhao Ji was allowed to go down the steps.
Unlike Ying Zheng who directly offered benefits, Zhao Ji did not let the rabbit fly.
Although after Li Yunze went off duty, he sent someone to say that he had found a house for him in the city, but he was rejected by Li Yunze.
Correspondingly, the palace maids and slaves accompanying the house were naturally confiscated.
However, it was the box of gold sent by Zhao Ji that Li Yunze kept with satisfaction.
"I'm a dumb person and can't speak."
After getting off duty, a whole team of palace guards gathered in the courtyard. Li Yunze pointed at the open box, "Let's all divide these personal belongings together."
Being able to work as a palace guard in Xianyang Palace, and also have the status of a Langguan, at least starting from a good family, naturally the family wealth is quite a lot.
Moreover, the living conditions in this palace are not bad.
However, even so, they had never seen Li Yunze take out a box of gold and distribute it directly.
Although gold is not a currency in circulation, its value is recognized by everyone, and it is used for large-scale transactions such as buying a mansion, running...ahem, giving gifts, etc.
Looking at the golden gold, everyone did not move.
The hundred generals leading the team immediately frowned and said, "No reward for no merit, I wonder if there is anything we can do to help Zhu Lang?"
The meaning of this is very clear. You suddenly gave us so much wealth, and I feel uneasy.
If there is anything you want me to do, feel free to say so.
If it can be done, then everything will be easy to say.
If you can't do it, it would be easier, just don't say it.
It is not impossible to bribe people with gold, but it is difficult for these selected palace guards to appear.
After all, if Li Yunze said, ‘please help me get rid of the king’ or something like that, who would dare to accept it?
Although gold is good, for these palace guards, their wealth, life and future are of course more important.
"I just arrived here, and I accidentally offended Prime Minister Lu." Li Yunze was very clear about these twists and turns, so he immediately said with a smile, "There are many capable people under Prime Minister Lu, and I don't know when I will meet a master.
I would also like to ask all my colleagues to help me more."
After hearing this explanation, Baijiang breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he said with a smile, "Since we are colleagues, how can we not help others in danger? Relax, no one in Xianyang Palace dares to mess around."
Having said that, the hundred generals were the first to step forward to take the gold, and then all the palace guards followed suit with smiles on their faces.
Li Si here rolled his eyes silently.
'It's such a lie. You have never seen how powerful this guy is! I don't need your help if I encounter any master.'
Judging from the speed of information dissemination in this era, Li Yunze's record at Xiang Meat Shop has not yet reached the palace.
After all, Lao Ai had been performing the Golden Wheel Lifting on the street for so long, but it didn't reach the ears of Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji.
Of course, complaints are complaints. When Li Yunze gave Li Si the last remaining gold in the box, he caught it very smoothly and put it away smoothly.
Isn't it just for these things and power that I came all the way to Qin to seek an official position?
In the following days, naturally no one will let Li Yunze go on duty again.
As for Li Si, he was also considered to be Li Yunze's follower. He got benefits and was exempted from being sent to high-level positions.
The two of them were eating and drinking in the yard, and they were having a good time.
Although things are stable here, things are changing in the court hall, and heavy rain is coming.
First, the king recruited a group of distinguished disciples as Langguan, who accompanied him in the palace as companions and personal bodyguards.
This matter made a lot of noise, because you only need to look at the nephews of whose families those noble children who entered the palace are.
Wang Jian, Zhang Tang, Huan Jue, Fan Yuqi, Meng Ao, Yang Duanhe, etc., almost every general of the Qin Dynasty had sons and nephews selected.
Naturally, it was difficult to refuse such a request. Even if Lu Buwei knew that the reason was to win over Wu Xun, there was nothing he could do to stop it.
He can't really confine the king and no one is allowed to have contact with him.
After all, Xianyang Palace was Zhao Ji's territory at this time, and he didn't even have the ability to sway the king.
Speaking of Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji recently also caused a big incident that made Lu Buwei very worried.
Zhao Ji proposed that Lord Changping be appointed as the right minister of Qin.
Lu Buwei originally had this plan to win over the Chu clan.
But before he could settle the previous troubles, Zhao Ji came to the rescue first, which really made him very angry.
But you can't object to this matter, because objecting means offending the Chu family. You can only smile and approve under Zhao Ji's meaningful gaze.
When he returned to the Lu Mansion, Lu Buwei, with a dark face, slapped him on the desk.
"Li Yunze! What a Taoist, you are more of a Machiavellian!"
