Self-cultivation of the traveler of the world

March is the season when all things grow. The rain in March is always a little different.

The drizzle hits my face, causing a slight smear of water vapor to the originally dry Guanzhong.

In the Mansion of Wenxin Hou, Lu Buwei, who was over fifty years old, was taking a nap in the study.

The new king was gone, and the matter of King Qin Dingling was all over his body. He worked hard all night last night, and it was inevitable that he lacked energy.

As I get older, I tend to be sleepy. I happen to be sleepy at this time, so I naturally don’t dare to miss it. I don’t care about the messy environment in the study. I just snore and fall asleep just by snoring like this expensive spring rain.

In my sleep, it seemed like I had returned to the night before the death of the King of Qin. It was also so rainy, but it was particularly merciless.

"Lu Xiangbang is polite!"

"Who are you? Why are you holding the king's orders and bringing it to reality!"

"The prince is the eunuch of my king. He often walks outside the palace and is not famous. Today, he visits the prince. He is ordered by the king to meet him immediately!"

Lu Buwei looked at the ordinary servant in front of him, and was skeptical.

"You came to visit late at night and said that my king was summoned, would there be an edict?"

The servant shook his head, tore off a piece of silk from the mezzanine of his clothes, presented it to Lu Buwei with both hands, and said respectfully:

"Today's affairs are not announced, and no edict is recorded. Only one volume is written by the king. Please read it by Wen Xinhou!"

When Lu Buwei heard this, he frowned, picked up the silk, and studied it carefully. In just a moment, he lit the silk at the oil lamp, threw it away, put on his clothes, and said in a deep voice:

"Let's go, it's my king's summons. Don't miss the king's affairs. You can lead the way forward!"

As they said that, the two left quietly, with only a few ignitions left, flashing in the breeze.

Three years ago, Wang Guanlan returned the three-person tiger talisman to the King of Qin.

After the King of Qin obtained the military power, he immediately ordered Lu Buwei to reorganize and adjust the three lieutenants, and the palace bans were also changed a lot.

But it would be fine if it was not replaced. Once it was replaced, the originally seamless palace ban defense immediately appeared.

Although Lu Buwei tried his best to make up for it, he still couldn't do it well with the same force. He could only add 500 additional private guards to barely make up for the loopholes.

It was also from that time that Lu Buwei truly realized Wang Guanlan's bottomless ability.

However, such adjustments are not without benefits. Lu Buwei and the King of Qin took advantage of this loophole and did a lot of private things without disturbing others.

At this time, Lu Buwei passed by a secret route to bypass the palace. Several private guards ignored him and sneaked into the Qin Palace.

The Qin Palace is not the palace where the Qin King lives, but a huge palace complex.

The Qin Palace is different from the inner and outer gardens. The outer garden is the official office area of ​​the royal palace, and the inner garden is the daily residence of the King of Qin and his beauties in the harem. Ministers are not allowed to enter unless they are ordered.

There is a special architectural area between the inner and outer gardens. Although the area is not large, it is the core of the entire palace.

The reason why it is important is that this place is the place where the King of Qin handles government affairs most often, except for large-scale dynasties and meeting envoys.

Especially after the King of Qin fell ill, even the court meeting moved here.

In his later years, King Zhaoxiang also handled government affairs here. Both kings were all publicly held here, making this place even more important.

Today, the place where the Qin King met Lu Buwei secretly was not in the place where he governed the country on weekdays, but in a slightly empty independent courtyard, it looked very secluded.

The palace has been very secrets since ancient times. When Lu Buwei saw this strange place, he didn't ask much questions. He just followed the servant, lowered his head and stopped talking, looking particularly cautious.

When Lu Buwei entered the hall, he immediately felt warm.

There was a row of burning stoves in the corner of the hall, and the bonfire was burning vigorously.

"Old minister pays homage to my king"

"Mr. Wenxin is here, sit down and have tea!"

When Lu Buwei saw the king, he bowed quickly. When Zichu heard the sound, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the person coming, showing a warm smile.

"Thank you, King!"

Lu Buwei gave another tribute and then sat down on the couch opposite the King of Qin.

"This is the season, and the weather is so unpleasant. Wen Xinhou came in the rain. I wonder if it's cold outside?"

Zichu listened to the little bits of water outside the window and asked a little gossip.

"In early spring, the cold air has not yet subsided and the water vapor has suddenly risen. This is the way of the six seasons and the number of days!"

Lu Buwei didn't know the intention of the King of Qin and answered very carefully.

"Does the number of days..."

Zichu muttered in his mouth, his expression extremely distant and ethereal.

At this time, the servant brought two hot teas on the slightest way to the King of Qin and Lu Buwei, and then carefully retreated without any unnecessary movement.

"Marquis Wen Xin, the deadline for Yi Ren is approaching!"

Lu Buwei was shocked when he heard this, but his face did not change at all. He picked up the tea pot, sipped it gently, and said with a smile:

"The king is joking. It's just a small disease. The doctor is generous and has seen the miraculous effect. Why is the king so depressed?"

Zi Chu shook his head when he heard this and said frankly:

"It's over, why should Wen Xinhou deceive me by saying nothing?

My body and my life are nothing better than me. I knew the truth and falsehood of the words of Wen Xinhou and the medical officer.

But at this time, it was the national war, and I didn't want to destroy my great cause of the Qin Dynasty, so I didn't know it secretly.

But to this day, I am afraid I can't hide it here..."

"This... king..."

Lu Buwei swallowed even more, and the tea pot in his hand fell down from the desk with a clang. He ignored the mess on the table and hurriedly bowed to the side and said in a trembling voice:

"The old minister is guilty!"

Seeing this, Zichu shook his head and smiled freely, waved his hand, summoned the servant, cleaned up the desk and then continued:

"Get up!"

"Haha, you old killer, today I forced the medical officer to prescribe a dose of tigers and wolfs for me. I'm not here to listen to you apologize!"

When Lu Buwei heard this, he trembled again. He stood up and sat back on the couch, stroked his knees with his hands, his body stretched straight, and he looked at the scrupulous manner.

Seeing this, Zichu smiled again and said earnestly:

"You and I have known each other for many years. If Yi Ren can have the power of Wenhou, you will be the only one who can be as strong as the Lord of War. You and I are the same as you, why should you be so restrained?"

"This...here!"

Lu Buwei bowed respectfully when he heard this, but his body still did not relax at all.

Seeing this, Zichu shook his head helplessly and did not force anything.

"Mr. Wen Xin!"

Zi Chu held the table and stopped Lu Buwei who wanted to come forward to support him. He stood up and straightened his waist, and said with emotion:

"It is a great blessing for Yiren to meet him in this life! In Yiren's heart, if there was no Wang Guanlan, my Qin State pillar of Shishi would be Mr.!"

"The king is too rewarded, but the old minister really dare not take it!"

Zi Chu didn't care when he heard this, and continued with a chuckle:

"The talented and moral character of Yi people is mediocre. If they can ascend the throne, it depends entirely on the merits of the teacher. If there is no help from the teacher, Yi people may have to die as badly as my brothers.

What the teacher did was tantamount to the rebirth of a strange man. Therefore, even though all the civil and military officials in the court opposed me from being a marquis, I still stubbornly invited the position of a marquis for me!

If you give me a peach, I will naturally report to you. If you give me a Li, Boya Ziqi, I will not do this!"

"With this statement, Wei's life is enough!"

"But Yi Ren still has something to do today, I want to bother Mr.!"

When Lu Buwei heard this, he didn't blink, and stood up and raised his hand and said in a loud voice:

"Please speak, the old minister will never come back!"

Upon hearing this, Zichu turned around and bowed with his hands, and fell to the ground with tears in his voice, tears flowing.

"With this statement from Mr. Wen, Yi Ren will die without regrets!"

"King——"

Lu Buwei hurriedly walked through the case, picked up Zi Chu without saying a word, helped him sit back on the couch, took a step back, bowed deeply, and said earnestly:

"How can the old minister deal with this move? It's really a terrifying old minister!"

"Ahem!!"

Zichu coughed a few times and waved his hand:

"Okay! Wenhou sat down, I'll say this!"

When Lu Buwei sat down, Zichu said slowly:

"My Qin State is not unaware of the general trend of the Qin State. I have been delaying the matter of the crown prince. Now it is really hard to delay. My son is a son-in-law. I don't know who belongs to Mr. Wen?"

Lu Buwei was stunned when he heard this, and he had never spoken for a long time.

The King of Qin's preference for Cheng Chuang is obvious to all over the court, but how could the throne be determined by the king's preference?

Not to mention his views on civil and military officials in the court, just talk about Wang Guanlan who is far away on the front line!

If Cheng Chuang ascended the throne of King Qin, how could Wang Guanlan give up?

When he met Wang Guanlan three years ago, Wang Guanlan's intention was very clear. He believed that the current Qin King was not worthy of his position and wanted to teach him a King of Qin himself.

Nowadays, Wang Guanlan's disciples are indeed extraordinary, and all the civil and military officials in the court have praised them very much.

If the king is willful, then I, Qin, will have to cause a storm.

Whether from personal feelings or from the overall situation of the country, he believes that the children and government should be more qualified than the ones who are qualified.

Looking at Zichu who was suppressing Jixi in his expression, Lu Buwei was unable to say anything against his will and said tactfully:

"Don't worry, when facing Wang Guanlan, even if the old minister fights this life, he will tear off a piece of meat from him!"

When Zichu heard this, he was happy first, then was stunned. Finally, he realized the meaning, sighed lonely and said with a bitter smile:

"Oh, why did Xiangbang say this?

As for the new king, I also like my son Zheng. Wang Guanlan must not interfere with it, but..."

Speaking of this, Zichu sat there in frustration, looking indescribably pessimistic.

"But this is the only one who is a civil and military official in our dynasty. The new king of the Great Qin is a disciple of this person. If this person initiated the action of Qi Tian, ​​would my Ying Zhao lineage be in my hands?"

When Lu Buwei heard this, he pondered for a long time and said slowly:

"King, the old minister doesn't talk about whether Wang Guanlan has the intention to rebel. He only said that I am a civil and military man in the court. Although I respect this person's talent, I will never be the first to follow this person. If this person intends to rebel, it will definitely end up in a bleak situation. The king is too worried!"

To be honest, Lu Buwei has dealt with Wang Guanlan a lot in the past three years, but every time he comes into contact with him, he never feels that this person has any ambitions.

Talking about rights?

He held heavy troops, but rarely interfered in military dispatch. He was in charge of the intelligence of the seven countries, but he easily handed it over to Zizheng. In the past three years, this person had never even made a move to seek credit.

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that there were such people in the world. His actions seemed to be based on just a sense of intent, and he could not feel the utilitarian intention at all.

To be frank, even Lu Buwei couldn't believe this person's intention to usurp the throne. Only the king was still in his heart, and he was always not very pleased with this person.

When Zichu heard Lu Buwei's words, he shook his head without making any excuses.

Didn’t he know what Wang Guanlan did?

Wang Guanlan did not hide his work, so he naturally wouldn't know, but so what if he knew?

As the King of Qin, he knew very well the temptation of power on people. Even if this person did not have such thoughts at this time, what if he could do it?

What he considered was that once this person had the intention of rebellion, no one in the civil and military affairs of the court could stop this person. If this person had a whim, the Qin Dynasty would be over.

How dare he take this risk?

"Oh, I'm going to leave. The new king is young, and I'll ask the country to overcome difficulties and maintain the Ying family's country.

Tomorrow, I will summon all the ministers to force Wang Guanlan to do something. The minister should not express his opinion and take the opportunity to wait and see the attitude of all the ministers.

If there is an ambiguous person, the Xiangbang will kill him. If there is a bad person, I will use him more. This is an act of suppressing Wang Guanlan. I hope that the Xiangbang will protect me for the new king!”

"Here!"

"If... if no one in the court dares to express his opinion... Then I will leave three edicts for passing the throne. Who ascends the throne? Let me decide for myself? You can help me give it to Wang Guanlan!

If this person really wants to be the throne, don’t fight with him. Take the clan and Zizheng to escape from Qin and become a rich man..."

Zichu handed over the three edicts he had already written to Lu Buwei.

One of them is about passing the throne and Wang Guanlan!

Lu Buwei took the edict, his heart sank, his eyes were filled with tears, and he looked at the King of Qin.

"Master, this..."

The King of Qin waved his sleeves and said sadly:

"I don't know how to do it?"

"Don't worry, lord!"

Lu Buwei fell to the ground again, trembling all over, and gritted his teeth and said:

"The old minister here to swore!

Even if Wei is crushed to pieces, he will protect my new king from being bullied!

If Wang Guanlan dared to make a rebellious move, even if the old minister was killed in the Taimiao, he would not let this person succeed. This is a clear mind, and the heaven and earth will learn from it!"

"Cough cough cough cough cough! Wenhou got up quickly, Xinjun still needs your assistance, how can he speak the word "death" lightly?"

Zichu struggled to get up while coughing to support him. Before the King of Qin could do anything, Lu Buwei quickly stood up to support Zichu, stroking his back without waiting for the King of Qin.

Although the King of Qin spoke to comfort him, Lu Buwei had already made up his mind that if Wang Guanlan really usurped the throne, he would have died as the King of Qin.

Lu Buwei, who was born a humble family, worked hard for half his life to support Qin Prince Chu and ascend to the position of prime minister, was definitely not to be a rich man!

Even if he dies, he will die in this position of prime minister!

He, Lu Buwei, would rather die in a high position than be unknown.

He had enough of the humble days and didn't want to review them all the time!

"this..."

In the study of the Marquis Wen Xin's mansion, Lu Buwei, wearing a soapy white robe, was awakened by a nightmare.

Wipe the cold sweat from his head, got up and went to the window.

The drizzle outside the window had stopped, but the weather was still gloomy, and the cool breeze was pouring over with water vapor, which made his originally confused thinking much clearer.

“How difficult is state affairs…”

Lu Buwei sighed and stood up and walked towards the palace. Before the new king returned, he still wanted to take charge of the court to prevent a clumsy.

As for Xinjun, it’s almost time to calculate the time.

Whatever the future is all up to God!
