Chapter 3 Killing two birds with one stone Lu Buwei
Prime Minister's Mansion.
Today, Lu Buwei has just turned fifty. This age is already a bit old for a man, but for the prime minister of a large country, it is at the peak of his age.
At the age of fifty, his body has not completely aged, and his life experience has accumulated to a terrifying level. At this time, Lu Buwei is at the peak of his life. He is not only the prime minister of Qin, the most powerful country in the world.
, and is also the father-in-law of King Qin. With such an identity, he is the only one in the world who can achieve his level.
"Mr. Xinling of the State of Wei is now idle at home, spending his days in wine and sex. In this way, we have eliminated a serious problem for the State of Qin." Cai Yang, the chief steward of the Prime Minister's Office, found a bamboo slip on the case and presented it to Lu Buwei.
road.
"Two years ago, Mr. Xinling united the troops of the five countries and attacked all the way to Hangu Pass. How can I feel at ease if such a person does not die?" Lu Buwei took the bamboo slip handed over by Cai Yang and said.
"Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling, has many followers around him, and there are countless capable people and people with lofty ideals. Although the Qin State is strong, it is beyond its reach to deal with Lord Xinling." Cai Yang said, playing the role of the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion very well.
"Yes, it's beyond the reach of the whip." Lu Buwei sighed.
Xinling Lord Wei Wuji is the only commander-in-chief of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong. His virtuous reputation in Wei State, his kindness to Zhao State in saving the country, and his influence on South Korea make Lord Xinling the only one in the world who can
Recreating the alliance of the Three Jins in the early Warring States Period, even if Han, Zhao and Wei are no longer as strong as they were back then, if the three countries can really work together, even Qin will have to treat it seriously.
With the Three Jins as the core, Wei Wuji, Lord of Xinling, could easily launch another five-nation coalition. The five-nation coalition was a situation that the Qin State did not want to face.
Therefore, Wei Wuji, Lord of Xinling, must die. As long as he dies, even if there is another alliance of the five countries, it will only be a physical alliance, not a spiritual alliance, and will not be a threat to Qin.
It's just that Xinling Lord Wei Wuji was in his prime, and no one knew how many years there were before his death.
As for the assassination? Not to mention the retainers from all over the world around Xinling Lord Wei Wuji, even if Xinling Lord Wei Wuji himself is a master, assassination is difficult.
"The person who can deal with Lord Xinling Wei Wuji is not in Qin, but in Wei. Only King Wei of Wei can deal with Lord Xinling Wei Wuji. The Prime Minister does not have to worry about Lord Xinling Wei Wuji." Cai Yang returned to his desk.
said.
"That's true, but it's too passive. Do we still have to wait for King Wei to take the initiative to help us get rid of Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling? How long will it take?" Lu Buwei said.
Regarding Cai Rang's words, Lu Buwei himself also knew that the only person who could defeat Xinling Lord Wei Wuji, just like two years ago, was his brother King Wei. However, that was too passive after all. Now he is in
The Qin State is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, but his ambition is not just that. In reality, he has both fame and power. His next pursuit is to leave his own chapter in the history books, and Xinling
Jun Wei Wuji is his obstacle.
"Fortunately, now I have found an opportunity." Lu Buwei looked at the bamboo slip in his hand and suddenly smiled. His eyes were firmly fixed on the two words on the bamboo slip: wine and sex.
Cai Yang looked at the smile on Lu Buwei's face and didn't ask much. As the chief steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he knew very well that his curiosity should not be too serious. Moreover, he believed that Lu Buwei would tell him what he should know.
Own.
"Wine, wine, this is good stuff." Lu Buwei subconsciously stroked his gray beard, he was in a good mood.
"But as long as you indulge in it, it will turn into a highly toxic poison. Drinking and lust are the weaknesses of Xinling Lord Wei Wuji." Lu Buwei said, and a continuation quickly formed in his mind.
"Sir, I want to send a female assassin to target the weakness of Lord Xinling Wei Wuji. Sir, do you have any suggestions?" Lu Buwei asked Cai Yang.
Although Lu Buwei has now mastered most of the Luowang intelligence system, the Eight Swords of the Yue King, the sharpest among the Luo Kings, is no longer in Lu Buwei's control. Lu Buwei does not know the specific situation of the Eight Swords of the Yue King at this time.
However, Cai Yang is different. Although he is now just Lu Buwei's retainer and serves as the chief steward in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cai Yang's understanding of Luo Wen is still better than that of Lu Buwei, because his father is Gangcheng Jun Cai Ze, a
There is almost no sense of existence in the Qin State, but among those who really know him, no one dares to look down upon him.
As early as the period of King Zhaoxiang, Cai Ze was in charge of the official affairs of Luowen as the confidant of Fan Sui, the Prime Minister of Qin at that time. Later, he successfully persuaded Fan Sui to retire, and then briefly served as the Prime Minister of Qin for a month.
However, later on, Lord Gangcheng resigned from his post on his own initiative. Now he hides at home and does not care about foreign affairs. His presence is so low that few people in the Qin State know that he actually served as the prime minister of the Qin State.
Prominent position.
As the son of Lord Gangcheng, Cai Rang himself has a family background, and because of his father, his understanding of the snare is better than that of Lu Buwei, who has accepted 70% of the snare for several years.
When it comes to the depth of understanding of the net, Cai Yang is definitely the second person at this time.
"Xinling Lord Wei Wuji's identity and ability, no one can do it except Luo Wangtianzi first-class assassin, and this assassin must be a rare beauty, and must not be too old. Those who meet these three conditions at the same time, now
I'm afraid only one person can satisfy the snare." Cai Yang said, flipping through the information about the snare in his memory.
"Which Tianzi first-class killer is it?" Lu Buwei asked.
Luo Wang is a first-class assassin, a beauty, and young. Lu Buwei certainly knows that it is difficult to satisfy these three geniuses at the same time. He is even ready to lower his requirements and select a suitable assassin from among earth-level killers.
I thought that in Cai Rang, I could get a perfect answer.
"Shocking Salamander." Cai Ze replied.
"What's the specific situation of the Frightened Salamander?" Lu Buwei leaned forward and asked Cai Ze.
"Jing Salamander, both of his parents are snare killers. He grew up in the snare since he was a child. His swordsmanship talent is far beyond ordinary people. He has become a first-class master at the age of sixteen. At the age of seventeen, he has become a first-class killer of the snare. More importantly, Jingren
Salamander has a beautiful appearance and is proficient in music. She is the most suitable weapon to target Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling, and she is only nineteen years old now." Cai Yang said.
"Okay, okay, with the powerful weapon of the Frightened Salamander, there is a 30% chance that the plan will succeed." Lu Buwei laughed.
"Now all the Eight Swords of the King of Luo Yue are in the hands of the Empress Dowager Zhao." Looking at the laughing Lu Buwei, Cai Yang reminded.
Before the death of the late king Qin Zhuangxiang, out of some considerations, he divided the net into two parts. The huge intelligence network was under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Mansion, while the most powerful weapon in the net, the Eight Swords of Yue Wang, belonged to the Queen Mother Zhao Ji.
"I know, but there is no reason to reject this plan even if I want to come to the Queen Mother. I will go into Xingle Palace to fetch the Frightened Salamander." Lu Buwei stood up and said.
"Xiangguo is going now?" Cai Ze asked in surprise.
"Is there anything wrong?" Lu Buwei looked at Cai Zedao.
"It's almost dusk. By the time the Prime Minister arrives at Xingle Palace, it will be almost dark," Cai Yang reminded.
It was inappropriate for a foreign minister to enter the palace at night. As a confidant, Cai Yang felt it was necessary to remind the prime minister.
"It's okay, it's just a small detail." Lu Buwei smiled slightly, not caring, and walked out of the hall casually.
Isn't it okay? Cai Yang looked at Lu Buwei's disappearing back, with excitement in his eyes. This is the smell of power.
