Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

Not long after Lu Buwei returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion from Xianyang Palace, a piece of news spread throughout the upper class of Qin's aristocracy.

Lu Buwei actually resigned from the position of prime minister!

As soon as this news came out, the upper echelons of the Qin State were in an uproar. One stone stirred up a thousand waves. On this day, the entire upper class officials of the Qin State began to operate.

The future generated by this news may be too great, even enough to cause shock to the Qin Dynasty.

However, this is no longer the era of Lu Buwei. The Qin Dynasty is under the control of King Qin and Lord Chang'an. At most, it will only be shaken, but it will not bring about a bigger earthquake.

Lu Buwei has been in power for more than ten years, with many wings and party members. Even in the past year, Lu Buwei's power has gradually declined, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and Lu Buwei still has strong power in the court.

Many officials knew that the King of Qin did not like Lü Buwei, and even hated him. However, for the sake of the stability of the court, the King of Qin still did not touch Lü Buwei.

This also proves that Ying Zheng is a qualified king. With Ying Zheng's current power, it is possible to force Lu Buwei out of the court.

But that would cause too big an earthquake. For the sake of the stability of the Qin State, Ying Zheng did not do this. Instead, he chose to cut off Lu Buwei's wings more slowly and then deal with him.

Such behavior was recognized by all high-level officials, and they were naturally more sincere to the Qin State and the King of Qin.

What did Ying Zheng’s move prove? It proved that he was not the kind of person who would do whatever he wanted, put the stability of the Qin State and disregard the rules of the entire court just for his own selfish desires.

If he is that kind of tyrannical king, he may make his ministers feel intimidated, but they will never feel respected.

As long as this kind of king shows his weakness even a little bit, he will definitely be attacked by a group of people.

After all, no one wants the king to be too arbitrary, as this will make people feel insecure.

Now that Lu Buwei has resigned, it also shows that King Qin and Lord Chang'an have completed all preparations, and Lu Buwei is completely dispensable.

Lu Xiangbang is also a smart man. After realizing this, he took the initiative to resign, leaving himself the last bit of face.

And as Lu Buwei stepped down and gave up his interests, countless people were watching him with eager eyes.

Not to mention how many people covet Lu Buwei's position as prime minister, after Lu Buwei loses power, the key departments controlled by him and his party members will slowly be replaced by others.

For most people, the position of prime minister is something they can only look at and dare not think about, but who wouldn't want to have a hand in the positions of key departments?

Some people were happy and some were worried. After learning that the Prime Minister was about to resign, Lu Buwei's party members went to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a panic, hoping to see Lu Buwei.

But Lu Buwei was determined not to manage the affairs of the court anymore and turned a blind eye to these people.

As for whether this will affect his prestige and credibility, Lu Buwei no longer cares. He is even prepared to lose his life. His only purpose now is to leave his family behind.

……

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Buwei was sitting on the soft couch in the study, and suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation.

At this moment, a servant came to report:"Xiangbang, a messenger has arrived from Xianyang Palace."

Lu Buwei frowned when he heard this. He had just resigned from the position of Xiangbang in Xianyang Palace, and Lord Chang'an also sent someone What are you doing here?

But he did not dare to delay and asked people to be brought in.

An eunuch walked into the room, saluted Lu Buwei and said,"I have seen Lu Xiangbang."

Although Lu Buwei had resigned, he was still the prime minister until Ying Zheng came back and fully agreed as the King of Qin.

Lu Buwei asked with a calm expression:"I don't know why my father-in-law is here?"

Even though Lu Buwei has lost power now, no eunuch dares to face him directly. The eunuch quickly said:"This slave is here because of your order. Give it to Xiangbang."

As he said that, the eunuch handed over a wooden box.

Lu Buwei did not open it in front of the eunuch, and the eunuch did not dare to stay for a long time. After finishing his work, he left here.

After the eunuch left, Lu Buwei withdrew everyone, leaving the old housekeeper alone and slowly opened the wooden box.

As the wooden box was opened, a piece of red gauze was cut inside. The red gauze looked like women's clothing, and Lu Buwei was naturally familiar with the owner of this red gauze. That was none other than Zhao Ji!

Lu Buwei slowly closed the box, handed it to the steward behind him and said,"Destroy this box and its contents without leaving any traces."

After giving the instructions, Lu Buwei sighed deeply...........

It seems that my choice is right, Chang'an Jun's back-up man is indeed the Queen Mother.

If he had not taken the initiative to resign, Lord Chang'an would have definitely been furious at the fright and thunder of the senior officials in Xianyang caused by this assassination, and then launched a severe investigation.

At that time, the inextricable relationship between himself and Luo Wang will definitely be uncovered by Chang'an Jun again, forcing him to give up his position as prime minister.

After this, he will inevitably continue to conduct in-depth investigations, and eventually accidentally discovers that he has committed an act of treason against the Queen Mother.

This involved the royal family. If it really got to that point, Lu Buwei felt that he might even lose his position as Marquis Wenxin. Not only would he lose his life, but the family would also be in trouble.

"It’s really all intertwined, leaving no way out. If I hadn’t taken the initiative to plead guilty, the whole family would have been implicated!"

Even Lu Buwei felt scared at this time.

Even though he had been in the court for so many years, he knew that the court was dangerous, but in the past it was he who plotted against others and saw that others were dangerous.

Now that this happened to him, Lu Buwei felt it. What is horror? (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

……

Lu Buwei's matter has been resolved temporarily, and the next step is to wait for Ying Zheng to return to Xianyang before giving a formal written reply.

At this time, Ying Wei was in Xingle Palace and saw the servants sent by Lord Changping.

Lord Changping wanted to visit him, not as an official, but as a relative

"Let’s start playing the family card directly."

Ying Wei chuckled inwardly, but on the surface he looked kind and said:"……Since Mr. Changping wants to visit me, please make an appointment and go to my house."

Ying Wei sent those people away.

He is preparing to become a staunch ally of Lord Changping!

"If you change your mind in this life and don't betray at the critical moment, you will continue to hold the position of prime minister, and our Qin country will be remembered in history."

"If you are still blinded by power, then don't blame me for being rude."

Ying Wei snorted.

In the official history, it was Li Xin who was tricked by Lord Changping. In this life, Li Xin is Ying Wei's capable subordinate. How could he be tricked by him!

Well, last time I just returned home and met with Lord Changping , His daughter seems to be five years old. Now, she should be seven or eight years old.

Ying Wei muttered in his heart...
