Lu Buwei had long been frightened and angry in his heart. He felt that Ying Zheng was not well-intentioned and wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, so that he could be killed by Lao Aiyu's party, so as to get rid of the serious trouble in his heart. He immediately gritted his teeth. He knew in his heart that if Ying Zheng really wanted to kill him, Wang Jian and others
People who are loyal to Ying Zheng will definitely not save him. He doesn't care about his image at the moment. He is deeply afraid that he will be damaged here. He still has many important things to do and his wishes have not been fulfilled. How can he be willing to die in such frustration here? What's more, Lu Buwei is also
He was extremely concerned about his life. When he saw Qi Si raising his hand, he quickly rolled on the spot and narrowly avoided the flying dagger!
But even though he avoided it, Zhao Ji screamed, her voice was so loud and high that even the common people in the distance could hear it clearly. She was so frightened that she had runny noses and tears. When Lu Buwei heard Zhao Ji's voice, his heart suddenly darkened.
It's hard to say that if Zhao Ji dies today, he will really have no one to support him. Ying Zheng's wings will be hardened today. Will he let him round and flatten him? When he thinks of this, Lu Buwei can't care less.
I hated Zhao Ji for having two sons with Shui Xing Yang Hua and Lao Ai, but she did such a stupid thing. She subconsciously kicked Zhao Ji in the belly. Zhao Ji screamed and fell softly to the ground.
The two daggers narrowly missed the two of them. When Lu Buwei heard the sound of the daggers piercing the air, he breathed a sigh of relief. Although he heard Qi Si scream, he was afraid that he was still alive and that he would not be able to defend himself if he threw the daggers.
So he lay down on the ground and dared to stand up after a while.
Zhao Ji was already so frightened that she fell to the ground like a puddle of mud after Lu Buwei got up. Lu Buwei felt angry when he saw her. Seeing her in such an ugly state, he was immediately furious. However, thinking of his plan, he still
He pursed his lips, stretched out his hand to help her stand up, and whispered in her ear: "Just wake up, take care of yourself first!"
The appearance of Qi Si was either accidental or inevitable. Lu Buwei knew very well that Ying Zheng had two plans. One was to kill him or Zhao Ji with a borrowed knife. No matter who died, he and Zhao Ji were inseparable.
The relationship of mutual cover and mutual help will naturally break down! The other is that the two of them work at the same time. It is naturally more beneficial to him to eliminate Ying Zheng's two biggest worries at once. Lu Buwei no longer has Li Si in his ears.
Jin Yan calmed down. His original temperament was different from ordinary people, otherwise he would not have spent all his family wealth for Ying Chu, and was ridiculed and made a laughing stock by others. He could see the current situation clearly.
, of course he knew in his heart that Ying Zheng would not kill Zhao Ji with his own hands, but the time and place where the two met was wrong.
If Zhao Ji had no one as her backbone, she would be confused and helpless. She was already frightened out of her courage. Unfortunately, today was not the time to talk to her in detail.
Lu Buwei sighed in his heart, but when he saw the smiling faces of Li Mu and Wang Jian, he felt depressed. His flash just now had made him look ugly, and he regarded it as a shame. He felt jealous for the person who saw him lose his composure just now.
He has murderous intentions, but fortunately the three main characters present are all his current enemies!
After a turmoil, all the remnants loyal to Lao Ai rushed out. Ying Zheng indicated that he would let go of a few people who slipped through the net, but now he succeeded in catching all these loyal people. Many people who were not dead were bound and tied aside.
Lao Ai's face was ashen. He knew he would die. His body was shaking like chaff. Several soldiers in armor and linen pointed round hats were tying hemp ropes around his hands, feet and neck. He grinned.
, the skin on his face was out of control, and Ying Zheng really took a liking to him. He was just a dying man, but the one who tied the rope with him was the second grade noble's superior!
The rope was pulled over five cars. Lao Ai stood in the middle of the field, his limbs and head and neck had been tightly tied. His face was pale and he wanted to shout, but he couldn't scream. For some reason, he was dying.
At that moment, he suddenly thought of the time when he had nothing. Even though he was poor at that time, if he was willing to settle for the status quo and work hard, he might not be unable to marry and have children. If he joined the army again and earned a title, he might also be able to engrave his descendants.
, how could he have died so quickly if he had not been greedy for a quick rise to the top and relied on women to rise to the top, and he seemed to have infinite glory? Even his two sons died at the hands of Thief Lu.
With difficulty, he turned his head and looked up at the high platform. The rope around his neck tightened as the man driving the cart gradually raised his whip. His eyes almost fell out of his sockets. He could only hear the sound of horses honking and the rolling of wheels.
There was a chest sound, a 'bang'! Under the gravity of a total of ten horses pulling the vehicle, Lao Ai's body was torn apart, and blood fell like raindrops! Lu Buwei thought of the old grudges from the past, although he knew that he had fallen into Li Si's trick.
Because of this, he still hated Lao Ai very much in his heart. Seeing him die now, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart and a smile appeared on his face.
When Zhao Ji saw this scene, her already frightened heart suddenly felt as if she had been hit hard! With tears streaming down her face, she saw that the body of her former lover had been torn apart, and even the body was not intact. She felt severe pain in her heart.
Coupled with fear, my nails dug into my flesh, but I felt no pain. I screamed for a long time, only to see the head flying high, bringing with it a string of bright red blood flowers. The familiar facial features were already blue and purple.
Her eyes suddenly bulged, and blood oozed from her facial features, as if she was staring at her! Zhao Ji made a 'gudong' sound in her throat, rolled her eyes, and immediately fell to the ground, not knowing what was going on!
The Queen Mother fainted while watching the execution. Naturally, everyone had their own thoughts. When Lao Ai died, the other party members cried and cried bitterly. However, Li Mu and others did not intend to kill them. They just put these people on the carriage that came to carry Lao Ai. The execution site
The large area of land in the middle was stained with bright red blood, and several wheels pressed out in different directions showed the intensity of the execution. The crowd of onlookers were reluctant to leave, and they watched the soldiers supporting them.
Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei left. Zhao Ji fell into a coma and was still talking nonsense. She just kept shouting: "Lao Lang..." "Don't look for me." 'Don't die...'
Fortunately, they were far away and the common people didn't hear it, otherwise the royal family would have set up another scandal! Lu Buwei's face was livid. After he finished, Wang Jian picked up Lao Ai's head with a sword and handed it to him, with a look of flattery.
It was said that the king knew that he had a quarrel with Lao Ai and left the thief's head at his disposal. At that moment, he was frightened by Lao Ai's distorted facial features when he was dying. Before he could calm down, it seemed that Wang Jian was gone.
She forced herself to look good, and cursed this person repeatedly in her heart. Seeing that Zhao Ji still kept thinking about Lao Ai, she felt so angry that her chest hurt.
Zhao Ji was sent back to the palace. Ying Zheng asked the doctor, but the doctor said that Zhao Ji was too frightened and suffered from the syndrome of leaving the soul. There is no cure for this disease! Ying Zheng was worried about the Queen Mother's disease and ordered the palace to
The daughter of Zhongchu looked after him day and night, issued orders, and searched for famous doctors all over the world. In a short time, King Qin's reputation for filial piety and benevolence spread throughout the world!
After Lu Buwei was frightened that day, he actually took care of him for a while. By the time he left the house, the reputation of Ying Zheng was already known to everyone in the world. He was extremely angry and thought about what Li Si, Wang Jian, Li Mu and others had done to him that day.
He is not a gentleman if he refuses to avenge his shame! When Ying Zheng hosted a banquet for everyone to celebrate the execution of Lao Ai's rebellious party, he forced himself to attend despite his illness. When everyone was waiting to reward him, he suddenly spoke out.
: "Wait a minute!"
At this time, Zhao Gao was thinking about the reward order issued by Ying Zheng. At this time, Wang Jian accompanied Ying Zheng back to Yongcheng and saved the enemy, so he was naturally promoted to the second rank. He was originally the general, so in terms of title
, is a ninth-level title. Now because of meritorious service, the title has been raised three levels to the left. The position has not changed, but the food, corn, etc. has increased. The higher the title, the more rare it is. This left
It can even be listed as the last among the nine great ministers, which is enough to show the importance of this title. Since Shang Yang's reform, the Qin State has stipulated that those who are promoted must have accumulated a certain amount of merit. If not, they may be loyal to their duties until death.
, it is also impossible to advance to a higher rank, and the Qin State is a country ruled by law. The rules here are extremely strict. If there is no serious merit, even a noble son of the Qin State cannot advance to the first level of the rank. Therefore, when the Qin soldiers heard about the promotion, they
He always moves forward bravely. But this position is an excellent promotion. As long as he has the trust of Ying Zheng, he will be important as Ying Zheng comes to power! Lu Buwei, while Zhao Gao was reading,
Shengsheng interrupted him!
"I don't know what Mr. Zhong's opinions are on politics. What do you think?"
After Ying Zheng went through the crowning ceremony on his own, although he still called Lu Buwei his father-in-law, everyone could see the displeasure in the young king's eyes. Now Lu Buwei was really too domineering. The king had already gone through the crowning ceremony.
He and Zhao Ji no longer have to rely on both him and Zhao Ji to decide everything. They are so arrogant in public. No wonder it makes the king unhappy! Most of the courtiers bowed their heads and kept silent, as if they did not exist. If Lu Buwei is a wise man, he should admit his mistake at this time.
The courtiers secretly thought in their hearts. Unfortunately, they were not Lu Buwei. Naturally, Lu Buwei could not bow his head like this. He just sneered twice and said, "It is inevitable that the king will grant you a title."
It’s too childish!”
He hated Wang Jian for brushing his face a few days ago. Naturally, it was impossible to watch him being promoted at this time, so he said again: "Our great Qin has made strategies since Mr. Gongsun of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and has been cited as the leader of the country by generations of ancestors.
Good strategy, why is the king now openly ignoring the orders of several previous kings?" Mr. Gongsun, as Lu Buwei calls him, is also known as Shang Yang in later generations. He is also the person who formulated the twenty-level nobility of Qin. He was originally
His surname is Ji, and his surname is Gongsun. He is a descendant of the Wei Kingdom. However, he made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty at that time, and he also served in the battle of Hexi. He was granted the title of fifteen cities of Shang, so the world is called Shang Jun, and some people call him Shang Yang.
, but when people in the Qin State called this powerful man from the ancestors, they still used to call him Gongsun, or Mr. Gongsun.
At this time, Lu Buwei brought up this topic, which immediately aroused the complaints of many people in the court. This Shang Yang was indeed a great talent. He was a good man in both civil and military affairs. Not only was he a good man in governing the country, he was also good at leading soldiers in wars.
However, this person was born because of the establishment of the twenty-level nobility system, which included a strict order to achieve the nobility only by meritorious service, and only by killing the enemy could one be awarded the nobility. In addition, even if it was the royal family of the King of Qin, he could have any power.
Even if it is overwhelming, one cannot be awarded a title, which was what Lu Buwei was like at the beginning. As a result, many people naturally resented this rule. In the end, Shang Yang offended others and was falsely accused to death. Of course, some of his methods were too strong and did not give him a title.
There was room for others, but most of the reason was that he offended many powerful people at that time, but he could not be promoted to the nobility.
Lu Buwei deliberately mentioned this matter at this moment, and he saw that many people's faces changed. What he wanted to do was to use this trend of dissatisfaction in people's hearts to disrupt Wang Jian's promotion. This man had already caused trouble.
He couldn't live in peace. If he was promoted to a noble rank again, how could he be suppressed in the future? Lu Buwei sneered in his heart, got up and approached Ying Zheng: "May I ask your Majesty, what virtues and abilities is Wang Jian, and why he failed to go out to kill the enemy?
But he has to be promoted to the third class of nobility? Where does your Majesty put all the previous kings with such partiality?" Every time he said a word, he took a step closer! A sneer appeared on the corner of Ying Zheng's mouth, and he immediately turned his face: "How dare you, Lu Buwei! How dare you attempt to harm the government?"
If you continue to advance, Zheng will take you down even for the sake of the late king!"
Ying Zheng's sharp rebuke immediately made the tense and depressing atmosphere that Lu Buwei had just created disappear. Lu Buwei was so frightened by Ying Zheng's momentum that he unconsciously felt frightened and took a step back! It was just a step.
, but Lu Buwei's heart was like a turbulent sea. When did the person who had always been respectful in front of him, and always looked at his face when talking and laughing, now grow to such a point? Ying Zheng is tall and full of
A head taller than him, Lu Buwei had some disbelief in his eyes. He raised his head slightly and looked at Ying Zheng's smiling mouth, but his eyes seemed to be condensed with ice, with a murderous aura that seemed to be real.
He subconsciously turned his face away, not daring to look anymore, but he felt a little stage frightened in his heart, and his momentum naturally weakened.
Everyone was horrified to see that Lu Buwei, who was always domineering, was rare and silent in front of the king's majesty. Does this mean that in the battle between the royal power and the Lu family, the young king had already overwhelmed Lu Buwei?
?Everyone looked at each other and thought. Lu Buwei was furious. He had just been frightened by Ying Zheng's momentum, but it didn't mean that he was willing to surrender to Ying Zheng! Lu Buwei wanted to speak again, but Ying Zheng had already responded to Wang Jian in a gentle manner.
Waved: "Wang Qing, come to the government's side!"
Wang Jian saluted and strode up to the high platform where the king was sitting. Ying Zheng saw his momentum and was satisfied. At the other end, Lu Buwei was still standing awkwardly in the middle of the steps. He just had the momentum to question Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng's initial confrontation and subsequent indifference have all been worn away! But now he couldn't step forward to ask questions. Ying Zheng didn't speak, so he couldn't stand down. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Wang Jian took a big step
Moving forward, he deliberately brushed against him and bumped him with Wei Ke's elbow. It seemed that the blow was not forceful, but Lu Buwei was almost staggered by the bump. He finally managed to steady his steps, and suddenly his face turned red again.
And dark!
Regarding Wang Jian's little move, Ying Zheng saw it in his eyes, but did not stop it. Lu Buwei was even more angry, but had no way to deal with him. He could only snort coldly, shake his sleeves fiercely, and raise his arms.
With a gust of wind blowing, he walked down the steps and returned to his desk.
"What you gentlemen do not know is that when Cheng Yu rebelled, Wang Jian was also on the expedition with the army. At the beginning, he had made great achievements with General Meng. However, Zheng Zheng thought that Wang Jian was still young and had not been given a title. Now he is accompanying the army.
Zheng returned to Yongcheng and made great contributions to saving the government. Do you think that with Wang Jian's merits, it is possible that he cannot be promoted to the third rank?" Everyone was silent for a while. Wang Jian also went out with the army. Everyone seemed to vaguely remember such a thing, but at that time
Meng Ao's light was too dazzling. He defeated the veteran Pang Nuan and killed Zhao's 100,000-strong army. With such incredible feats, no wonder Wang Jian no longer looked so conspicuous. When Ying Zheng mentioned it, everyone
Naturally, it is not easy to object anymore.
Lu Buwei's face was dark, and he wished he could walk away immediately, but he was unwilling to do so. Wang Jian let it go. He rolled his eyes, snorted coldly, and stood up again: "Your Majesty, since Wang Jian has merit, then naturally he is
I should give a reward, but I have an objection, and I hope the king will consider it!" As he spoke, he looked at Li Si on the side, with a sneer in the corner of his eyes, and for the first time, he bowed to Ying Zheng and bowed, which was in disbelief to everyone.
Under his eyes, he pointed at Li Si and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have been secretly investigating the details of Li Si recently. He is from the State of Zhao. I hope the king will think twice and expel Li Si from other countries with ulterior motives. The matter of the Qin State,
Naturally, it is up to the people of Qin to make the decision. How can a clown come here to act recklessly? If he is not from my clan, his mind must be different! I was deceived by this person before and almost made a big mistake. I hope that the king will punish me. I dare not do it even if I die.
blame!"
Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed. What Lu Buwei meant was that he was exactly like the Qin Shi Huang in history who expelled diners from various countries! Because this incident is also famous in history, Ying Zheng knew something about it. Since the Lao Ai Rebellion,
, Lu Buwei was implicated in this, but at that time the Lu family was very powerful, and there were three thousand diners and scholars under his family, but this was just a general reference, and there must have been many more behind the scenes, not including servants and others.
From what I hear, the number of these people is not large, but it is important to know that everyone who can become a diner has his or her own extraordinary abilities. If you don't have any special skills, even if you want to become Lu Buwei's disciple, you will not be accepted.
Among the diners adopted by Lord Mengchang at that time, the most inconspicuous ones were the famous roosters and dog thieves passed down to later generations. They also had their own abilities and could be used by Lord Mengchang.
In this way, these three thousand people are not just ordinary people. There are many useful talents among them, including Ying Zheng himself. Apart from generals such as Meng Ao and Li Mu, the only ones who can be used now are Wei Che, Li Si and others.
In comparison, it is enough to show the great power of Lu Buwei. Under such circumstances, in history, in order to eradicate Lu Buwei's power, Qin Shihuang took advantage of the incident that Zheng was a Korean intermediary at that time, and coupled with the conservative forces of the local ministers of Qin at that time,
Instigating and advising, Ying Zheng issued a letter of expulsion that was passed down to later generations! The main idea is almost the same as what Lu Buwei said today, which also implies that except for the local ministers of the Qin State, people from all countries are not
