Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 360 Ambition and Old Friends

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Buwei, whose face was glowing, was flipping through the bamboo slips in his hand. The ink marks on it seemed to have an alluring fragrance, which made him intoxicated. Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals was the achievement he was most proud of in his life. The Seven Kingdoms have had too many prime ministers for hundreds of years. Although he is pretentious, he also knows that he can only be compared with people like Zhang Yi, Fan Sui, and Zhai Huang, and he is not even the top.

There are many names and appearances in the world, but what does it matter if a person loses his rights? But writing books, establishing sects, and making deals is an existence that can be called an ancestor.

Over the past hundreds of years, many countries have risen and fallen, but the schools of thought have always had a long history. Countries cannot escape the cycle of rise and fall, but the ideas of the schools of thought can continue to be passed down.

For a person like Lu Buwei who had seen through material enjoyment in his early years and began to pursue the realization of self-worth, it was just that he gradually fell into the desire for power. Now, his power is slowly leaving him. In time, he once again found the happiness he once had.

This book is enough for me to leave my name in the history of history. No matter how much the world changes, as long as there are still people who want to study and learn literature, they will not forget my existence, Lu Buwei.

However, after all, it is still not perfect enough. The bamboo slips are still too light after all. If the words can be reflected in reality, it will be more perfect. Moreover, can it have a successor?

Thinking of this, Lu Buwei couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in his joy.

The momentum of Legalism, without people like Zhai Huang and Shang Yang, could turn it into reality, but those Legalist masters who wrote books and theories would not necessarily have the momentum it has at this time.

What about his miscellaneous family?

"Manpower will eventually be exhausted." Lu Buwei sighed leisurely. The door was knocked, and the figure of his son Lu Qi appeared in his sight.

"Father, it's almost time, we should set off." Lu Qi said.

Today, Lu Buwei unfurled the book "Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals" in Nanshi outside Xianyang City, allowing the common people and scholars in Xianyang City to view it. At the same time, he invited people from hundreds of schools of thought to gather here, including those at the head level. , such a cultural event is probably only comparable to the Confucian Zong Xun Kuang's entry into the Qin Dynasty.

Outside Xianyang City, Nanshi, the busiest place in Xianyang City, is home to traders from the seven countries.

This is the commercial center of Xianyang City, but today, the largest number of people in this southern city are no longer merchants. The disciples who come to the Xiangguo Mansion are scholars from all over the world.

At present, it is the fashion to raise scholars. Everyone in the world knows the name of the Four Young Masters of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong. However, they do not know that compared to the so-called Fourth Young Masters, the scholars raised by Lu Buwei are even worse. Moreover, compared to The disciples under the Fourth Young Master come from all walks of life, but the composition of the disciples under Lu Buwei is much simpler. Most of them are disciples from various schools, and they are also disciples who major in literature.

It is precisely because of this that Xianyang can allow Lu Buwei to maintain such a large number of followers. After all, thousands of people gather in one place, and these thousands of people also have considerable combat power, which is enough to launch a war at a critical moment. There was a coup.

Lu Buwei spent ten years working hard, gathering the efforts of thousands of people, and coordinating hundreds of schools of thought in a mixed way, and finally saw the results today.

Lu Buwei had been preparing for this day for a long time. Not to mention other things, just inviting people from hundreds of schools of thought to gather in Xianyang was not an easy task. Although Qin was strong, it could not control the world. Although Lu Buwei had great power, it was not an easy task. It is prosperous, but it still cannot influence hundreds of schools of thought.

Lu Buwei was able to invite so many scholars and hundreds of schools of thought to gather in Xianyang only because of Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals.

In Nan City, although it is not a huge crowd, it is still crowded. Some people are invited, and some people just come to enjoy the fun, but there are also some people who have received invitations to watch the fun, such as Yang Ming.

Yang Ming, who was wearing regular clothes, looked at the flow of people outside the outer curtain and led Concubine Yan to another entrance. He did not forget to say to Concubine Yan: "This old guy Lu Buwei is still heroic. This is Do you want the Grand Duke of Qin?"

"How can Lu Buwei compare to Tai Gongwang?" Before Concubine Yan could say anything, a rather tall old man walked out of the corner and appeared in front of Yang Ming.

"Are you still alive?" Yang Ming was quite surprised when he saw the person appearing in front of him.

When Yang Ming was in Yanmen County, he got acquainted with a Mohist swordsmith called Master Cang. The Canglong Wentian Halberd in his hand now was forged by this man, including the chain sword in Zinu's hand. There was also the Zhenyue Sword in Li Mu's hand. However, Master Cang was already old at that time. Yang Ming still thought that he had only a few years to live, but he never thought that he would meet him here today.

"What do you mean by this kid? My old man has a hundred years of life, how can he be buried so easily?" Master Cang snorted coldly, and then his eyes swept over Concubine Yan, and she didn't have a good look on her face. The Yin and Yang family and The Mo family's fight for so many years has made the resentment between the two families almost endless.

"Didn't Master Cang return to the Mo family's main hospital? Why did he come to Xianyang?" Yang Ming asked, while also clarifying the identity of the person in front of Concubine Yan.

People from the Mo family? Concubine Yan was slightly surprised, but then she took it lightly: she was just an old man from the Mo family, and she had some connections with her husband.

"Of course something happened." Master Cang said.

"It doesn't seem to be a good thing." Yang Ming said clearly.

"Boy, do you know?" Master Cang said in surprise.

"You are waiting for me here, are you planning to let me take you in here? Is there someone from the Mo family among the people Lu Buwei invited, and is this person's status in the Mo family higher than yours?" Yang Ming handed over. With the invitation, Concubine Yan walked into the arena.

Master Cang did not directly answer Yang Ming's question, but responded with his own actions.

After entering the venue, Yang Ming and Concubine Yan headed towards their seats under the leadership of the waiter.

"It seems true? Lu Buwei can still hire a Mohist giant. This network of contacts is really not ordinary." Lu Buwei traveled around the world as a businessman in his early years, and later became the Prime Minister of the Qin State. He has accumulated many contacts over the past decades. , is indeed a quite terrifying number. If not for this, in the original time and space, there would not be anything that could not reassure Qin Wangzheng even if he was deposed.

"How do you know I'm coming to find Juzi?" Master Cang was stunned. He didn't say anything and his true identity was revealed?

"No wonder you were able to reach your current position in the Qin State in just six or seven years. Why didn't I see this intention at the beginning?" Master Cang then showed a look of surprise. With the rise of Feng Shui, a person who has achieved a status in just a few years that others may not be able to achieve in a lifetime, how can he be an innocent young man?

"If even Master Cang can see my thoughts, then it will be difficult for me to get along in the Qin Kingdom." Yang Ming said with a smile. Under the leadership of the waiter, there was a large square surrounded by felts near the main stage. The seat appeared in front of Yang Ming. This was his seat.

"This doesn't seem to be a good thing to say." Master Cang followed closely. It was not difficult for him to sneak into the venue, but he wanted to sneak into the inner court, especially without alerting others. The market is still a problem for Master Cang. If not, he would not wait for Yang Ming to appear.

"It couldn't be better." Yang Ming said and walked into his exclusive seat room. Although it was simple, all kinds of items were quite complete.

"Why is Master Cang so anxious to find the giant of your Mo family? Is it because of Prince Dan of Yan State?" Yang Ming asked Master Cang after they sat down one after another.

"This?" Faced with Yang Ming's question, Master Cang did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Concubine Yan who was sitting on the other side of Yang Ming. He also had his own source of information and knew that Concubine Yan was People from the Yin Yang family, and matters involving the Mohist giant, even in front of Yang Ming, whether it can be discussed in front of a person from the Yin Yang family is a question that must be treated seriously.

"Concubine Yan is the mistress of the Yang family." Noticing Master Cang's hesitation, Yang Ming added that Yang Ming did not want to deal with the conflict between the Yin Yang family and the Mo family, but Concubine Yan was his wife now, and Yang Ming was in front of her. Of course he won't hide anything.

"Okay, I still trust you." Master Cang glanced at the young couple in front of him unexpectedly. Are they from the Yin Yang family?

"Young Master is mobilizing manpower to help Prince Dan of Yan State escape from Qin State." Master Cang said while not forgetting to observe Yang Ming's reaction.

But Yang Ming's reaction was very calm, not even the slightest bit shocked, not even a hint of surprise.

"Although the Mohist family did not stay aloof from the struggles between countries. The founder Mozi once intervened in the struggle between Chu and Song, but it was for the people of the two countries, not for people of one family like Song Gong, but this The matter of Prince Dan of the Yan Kingdom was different this time. If the Qin army attacked the Yan Kingdom at this time and the prince wanted to take action, I would never stop him. But this time it is just for Yan Dan, which are two completely different things. "Master Cang said.

"Why, is the Mo family still supporting Yan Dan so strongly now? What has Master Cang been doing in the past few years?" Yang Ming asked rhetorically.

Because of the Yanmen incident, Master Cang returned to the Mohist family and prepared to eliminate Yan Dan's influence in the Mohist family, but now it seems that it has not achieved much results. The current Yan Dan can still mobilize the power of the Mohist family.

"This..." Master Cang said with a sarcastic look. At the beginning, he thought the matter was too simple. He thought that as long as he revealed what Yan Dan did in the northern border of Zhao, he would be able to eliminate Yan Dan. Dan's Mohist influence, but what about the facts?

The fact is that he wants to find something to do at this time and turn to Yang Ming, an important minister of the Qin State. In the struggle for power, how can this old man who has spent his whole life forging weapons defeat a person from the royal family of Yan Dan? .
