"All the ministers are the pillars of our Qin State, let's talk about enemies." Feeling the danger, Lu Buwei suppressed the shock in his heart and immediately expressed his stance.
"Is this how Luo Wang treats the pillars of our Qin State?" Lord Changping looked at Lu Buwei and said.
"There may be some changes," Lu Buwei said.
At this time, there were only two options before Lu Buwei. Either he took the initiative to bear the charge of instigating a trap to monitor the courtiers, or he put all the blame on Lao Ai and claimed that he was just deceived.
However, if he does this, the former will make him offend most of the courtiers, while the latter will also damage his prestige, make people doubt his ability, and make him lose his net.
"What can be changed? The Prime Minister, the net is under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Does the Prime Minister really know nothing?" Lord Changping did not give Lu Buwei any time. His sudden attack this time was just to force Lu Buwei.
How could Lu Buwei be given a chance to breathe when he reached a dead end?
"Your Majesty, I really don't know about this matter. Although Xiangchen is not a great talent, he is not stupid enough to do such a stupid thing like spying on you. Wouldn't that mean he is secluded from our Qin country?" Lu Buwei also said.
A smart man, when faced with Changping Jun's question, he turned his attention to Ying Zheng.
Lu Buwei knew that at this time, the only person who could help him was Ying Zheng on the throne, and Ying Zheng would not watch him really fall into a situation where he was against everyone.
"Indeed, it is impossible for Prime Minister to do such a stupid thing. However, Prime Minister, the facts are like this. Could it be that Prime Minister has been deceived by the snares of his subordinates?" Ying Zheng looked at the reactions of the ministers in the palace.
When Lord Changping threw out the trap, Ying Zheng saw that only one-third of the courtiers in the hall showed anger, while one-third showed doubts, and the last one-third
It is indifferent.
This kind of reaction of the ministers fell into the eyes of Ying Zheng, and he had already seen that in this hall, only one-third of the people were dissatisfied with Lu Buwei, and one third were neither far nor close to Lu Buwei.
The other third can be regarded as direct descendants of Lu Buwei.
In the blink of an eye, some things that were once shrouded in fog became suddenly clear.
"That's it. Your Majesty, I have also been deceived by my subordinates. Otherwise, how could I do such a stupid thing." Lu Buwei heard this, hesitated for a moment, and then took over what Ying Zheng said.
Stopping losses in time is not something that is too difficult for Lu Buwei, who has a business background.
Although the current choice is not a good one, it is the best choice Lu Buwei can make at the moment.
"Who is the leader of Luowang in charge of Xianyang?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Reporting to your Majesty, it is Luo Wangtianzi's first-class killer who hides the sun." Lu Buwei said.
"We can't stay anymore," Ying Zheng said.
"Your Majesty, this is not just a problem of the Luo Sheng Xianyang department. If you look at the big picture from a small perspective, through Xianyang, you can see that the Luo Sheng has a tendency to get out of control, but the Prime Minister failed to notice clearly, which means that the Prime Minister is no longer suitable to control the Luo Sheng.
It's over." Lord Changping saw that with the cooperation of Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei seemed to be on the verge of breaking out of his shell, so he hurriedly said.
"A wise man will eventually make a mistake after thinking a lot. The Prime Minister is managing everything every day, so it is inevitable that there will be mistakes. Don't be too harsh on them." Ying Zheng said in a cold tone.
"Your Majesty, this matter is excusable, but it is inconsistent with the law. The Prime Minister is no longer suitable to control the net."
Lord Changping assessed the situation and already knew that Lu Buwei was involved in this matter, so his escape was a foregone conclusion, so he had no choice but to take action against the trap.
Even if Lu Buwei cannot be severely injured by this, the net must be separated from the Prime Minister's Mansion. In this way, one of his arms can be considered broken.
"Oh, Lord Changping, I am not suitable to control the net, are you suitable?" Lu Buwei said coldly.
"I..." Mr. Changping was happy when he heard this, but then he was surprised.
"The Prime Minister can't, let alone me. A sharp weapon like a snare is really not suitable to be controlled by someone, whether it's the Prime Minister or me." Changping Jun said. Gu Zhen
"Only the king is suitable to control the net." Changping Jun suddenly said to Ying Zheng.
Lu Buwei's expression changed uncertainly, and he also knew that he would no longer be able to control the net in the future. It would be better for the net to fall into the hands of Ying Zheng than to let it fall into the hands of others.
"Yes, a snare, a sharp weapon that can hurt both the enemy and oneself, can only be mastered by the king." Seeing this, Lu Buwei said.
This is already the best choice he can make at the moment.
"After this matter, the net is no longer suitable for the hands of the Prime Minister or a certain important minister. Let's leave it here alone for the time being. In this way, I think you can rest assured." Ying Zheng said thoughtfully.
"I will reconsider." Meng Ao, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up again.
"I will reconsider." For a time, all the courtiers who were more inclined to Lu Buwei, or to Lord Changping, or even those who had always been neutral, all expressed their stance.
Even if the net is used by Ying Zheng to monitor the courtiers, it is still much better than being controlled by a single colleague.
At the same time, no matter what political views they held before, or which faction they belonged to, they all now supported Ying Zheng's control of the net.
Suddenly, in the court hall in the front hall of Xianyang Palace, a consensus that had not appeared for a long time appeared.
The first thunder of Qin Wangzheng's five years came to an end like this.
Lord Changping revealed a bit of his trump card, while Lu Buwei lost the trap. From the beginning to the end, it seemed that only Ying Zheng had gained.
But, is it really just like that?
In the following time, the court meeting finally entered a normal rhythm.
Awards and punishments passed quickly in Ying Zheng's ears.
Without Chang Pingjun's sudden attack, the court seemed to be much more harmonious, and Lu Buwei, who was suddenly attacked, could not see any changes and was still the same as before.
However, anyone who is familiar with Lu Buwei can see that Lu Buwei is not in such a good mood at this time, and his heart is not so calm.
In the debate over the trap just now, Lu Buwei not only lost the trap, but also felt a crisis.
The wind direction in the Qin court seemed to have changed. On the surface, Lu Buwei, who was still the previous prime minister, thought in his heart.
Therefore, he sensed the scrutiny in the eyes of others looking at him, which was absolutely impossible to happen before.
Lu Buwei realized that his authority in the Qin court had been shaken, and if he could not stabilize his shaken authority again, even his position as assistant governor would be shaken.
What worries Lu Buwei even more is that he doesn't know what happened at Lao Ai's place. Did Lao Ai make his own decisions and want to use a trap to participate in Qin's power struggle, or was Lao Ai being used by others?
If it is the former, then Lao Ai cannot stay, and if it is the latter, it will be even more terrifying. Who is taking advantage of Lao Ai? Is it him?
Lu Buwei thought as his eyes seemed to accidentally glance past Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the throne.
