Qin Xianyang, Prime Minister's Mansion -

Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei was wearing ordinary clothes, kneeling in front of a table, sipping fragrant tea and looking at the bamboo slips in his hands.

He is over fifty years old, which is quite old in this era.

In recent years, he has felt that his health has been deteriorating. However, all major and minor affairs of the Qin State need to be decided by him, the prime minister, so he does not dare to slack off at all.

An old housekeeper was serving behind Lu Buwei with a humble look. The maids in the room did not dare to breathe. They all lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, waiting for the master's orders.

At this time, a guard from Xiangbang Mansion reported:"……Lord Xiangbang, please hide your eyes from the sun and ask for an audience."

Lu Buwei didn't even raise his head. He waved his hand and said:"……Let him in."

After that, without waiting for Lu Buwei's instructions, the maids around him all bowed and left.

Not long after, under the leadership of the guards, a tall man with a mask on his face and wearing a snare killer uniform walked in.

As soon as he entered the house , Zhenri felt that there were countless eyes looking from the shadows in all directions, but as long as he made any unnecessary movements, he would be killed on the spot.

Zhenri took a deep breath, even if he was a real killer in the net, he would be killed on the spot. The controller, as one of Tianzi's first-class killers, did not dare to breathe in this Prime Minister's Mansion and only dared to walk through the main entrance to ask for an audience.

"Cover up the sun and pay homage to the Prime Minister!"

The Sun-covering Sword in the Sun-covering hand has long been taken away. He knelt on the ground and bowed to see you.

Lu Buwei did not say a word, but continued to look at the bamboo slips and drink tea. Cold sweat flowed from his face behind the sun-covering mask"four three three", and in his heart He felt panic and uneasiness for no reason.

This time Luo Sheng's mission failed. If Lu Buwei blamed him and wanted to kill him, then he really didn't have the ability to resist at all.

Although he was strong in martial arts, the Sun-Sealing Sword was taken away, and there were many masters here. He was the fish on the chopping board.

After a long time, Lu Buwei seemed to realize that there was a sun hiding in front of him. He put down the tea cup in his hand, raised his head, his eyes were calm, and he said in a neutral tone:

"……Mission failed? Zhanri quickly lowered his head and said humbly:"……After returning to Xiangbang, Jingbao's assassination mission failed. Chang'an Jun was not dead. He went to Yingdu and rushed to Xianyang under the escort of Wang Ben's army."

"In less than two days, Lord Chang'an should arrive in Xianyang, but Jing salamander is missing for the time being. His subordinates suspect that Jing salamander may have become Lord Chang'an's prisoner."

"Now that Lord Chang'an is protected by the army, the net cannot detect any more information. Lu

Buwei nodded and asked:"……Has the reason for the failed assassination of Jingli Salamander been investigated?"

Zie Ri's throat moved subconsciously, and he said anxiously:"……The subordinates were incompetent and did not find out the reason why the assassination failed."

"My subordinates once suspected that there was a spy within Luowang, but very few people knew about this task. I checked and found that no one with knowledge had any reason to do it."

"The hundreds of assassins sent and Chang'an Jun's bodyguards were all dead, and the scene was destroyed by fire, leaving no trace."

"But judging from the situation at the scene, the deaths of hundreds of killers were caused by a very small number of people. It must be a master who killed those killers for Lord Changan."

"As a first-class killer, Jing Salamander’s martial arts are so high that few people in the world can match her. Even if she is outmatched, she should be able to escape from the scene."

"But instead of escaping, she was captured by mistake. With Jing Salamander's martial arts, this possibility was very low."

Lu Buwei listened to the sun-covering report, and he said calmly:"……The Frightened Salamander either betrayed the snare or was poisoned."

"But no matter what the reason is, it shows that Lord Changan has been prepared for a long time, which is why we fell short."

Zhanri lowered his head and did not dare to speak, thinking about how to pass the responsibility for this matter to others.

Otherwise, if Lu Buwei suspected that there was something wrong within Luowang, Zhanri would bear the main responsibility.

In fact, Zhanri He also suspected that there was an internal problem in Luo Sheng, but he could not investigate it, and he could not tell Lu Buwei this.

Because he was partly responsible for hiding the sun. If there was an internal problem in Luo Sheng and he could not investigate it, it was because he was incompetent.

The best way now is to blame Jing Salamander and treat her as a traitor, so that this matter can be exposed.

So, poor Jing Salamander sacrificed his body and even made up his mind to take action against Ying Wei, but In a blink of an eye, he was sold by the superiors and treated as a traitor, which shows the miserable fate of the tool man.

Lu Buwei thought about it for a moment and ignored it. No matter what the reason was, the result was that Lord Chang'an was not dead and returned to Xianyang.

Assassination After all, it's just a trail. It's good to succeed, but it doesn't matter if you fail.

Zhanri hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said:"……Lord Xiangbang, Lord Chang'an is now protected by a large army, and the trap cannot be used."

"But as long as he returns to Xianyang, Luo Wang will still have a chance to take action again."

When Lu Buwei heard what he said, his expression changed. He raised his wine glass and threw it at the sun, cursing angrily:"……Ridiculous, what do you know! Zhanri hurriedly apologized and let Lu Buwei throw the wine glass on his head, not daring to say a word.

"The assassination is over now. Luo Wang will continue to monitor Chang'an Jun, but he must not take action. If you let me know that you are acting in private……"

Speaking of this, Lu Buwei's expression turned cold. Zhanri immediately felt the murderous aura coming from all directions, which made him almost unable to help but get up, but luckily he held it down.

He knew that Lu Bu really had murderous intentions towards him at that moment.

"Okay, you go down and follow my orders."

Lu Buwei waved his hand.

"Here!"

Zhan Ri didn't dare to stay here any longer and left quickly.

After he left the room, a guard came forward and respectfully returned the Zhan Ri Sword to him.

Zhan Ri took his own sword and left quickly, with his mask on. His face was gloomy, and he clenched a fist with one hand:"……Lu Buwei, if there is a chance……"

He didn't dare to show any anger in front of Lu Buwei, even now he was just helpless and furious.

Facing the powerful Lu Buwei, a mere cover-up or even a mere snare was nothing.

Moreover, the most important power of the snare is already in the hands of Lu Buwei.

But as long as there is a chance, he doesn't mind showing his fangs and bites him. He is extremely greedy for Lu Buwei's power.

In the house, Lu Buwei saw Zhan Sun leaving and sneered:"……A common man is just a common man after all"

"When I was the richest man in the world, when I entered the court of Qin as a merchant, I was very cautious and did not dare to be careless at all."

"Do you really think that matters in the court can be solved with a sword in your hand? That can only bring disaster to yourself."

If Lord Chang'an died outside Qin, as long as the net does not leave conclusive evidence, of course he can be killed, and he can also be framed in various ways.

Even if someone in the Qin court suspected that Lu Buwei did it, no one would do it for a dead man. Going against Lu Buwei will bring disaster to oneself.

But if Chang'an Jun is killed in Xianyang, it will be an earth-shattering event for the Qin State. Everyone will be in danger, and everyone will stand against Lu Buwei. The power is overwhelming and the government and the opposition are in danger. If you don't do whatever you really want, it will only lead to betrayal and alienation.

Even the emperor in the heyday of feudalism had to use power and tactics to do what he wanted to do in a reasonable, legal and well-founded way. At the same time, We must also balance power and prevent ministers from overpowering the emperor.

The essence of power is a publicly recognized creed. When the public does not recognize it and when the creed is destroyed, the power will disappear immediately.

Lu Buwei is the biggest beneficiary of today's rules. He would take the initiative to break the rules only when he was dizzy. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!) Lu

Buwei lowered his head at this time, looked at the bamboo slips in his hands, and sighed with a complicated expression:"……How wonderful it would be if the Lord of Chang'an were not the royal family of the Qin Dynasty."

When he reached Lu Buwei's position, all he wanted was to leave his name in history and complete his lofty personal pursuit.

So he wanted to let Qin unify the six countries in his own hands.

Even now that Qin has not started the unification war, Lu Buwei has already Prepare for a rainy day 0.

He summoned talented people from all over the world to write"Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals", which was read by hundreds of schools of thought, just to find a path that Qin should take after unification and to explore its ideology.

After all, the people who are now managing Qin are A set of systems may not necessarily be applicable to the huge empire after unification.

And Ying Wei's book"De Punishment" also uses his own thoughts to explore the ideology after unification, and it is conclusive and makes reading. People call it wonderful.

Of course, the most annoying thing is that the book seems to be unfinished. There is a large blank space, which makes Lu Buwei so angry that he wants to grab it and finish the book.

If Ying Wei just wrote his own ideas, Lu Buwei It doesn't matter. After all, all schools of thought have their own ideals and concepts.

However, Ying Wei's philosophy of governing the country coincides with Lu Buwei's. They both use Taoism as the backbone and other schools as branches. There are quite a few miscellaneous schools. means.

However, Lu Buwei knows that Ying Wei is not a miscellaneous family, but an orthodox Confucian from the eight classics. He has gathered the great achievements of Legalism and explored Taoist thoughts. This is very important.

Don't look at Lu Buwei as if he has gathered the opinions of hundreds of schools of thought. He is tall and powerful, but as a miscellaneous family member, he is looked down upon by hundreds of schools of thought and is considered a thief. But if Ying Wei, an orthodox Confucian and Legalist, endorses Lu Buwei's ideas, then it is justifiable and can push Lu Buwei's thoughts to the forefront in one fell swoop. The highest position.

But the premise of all that is that Ying Wei is not the royal family of Qin. If he is not the royal family, Lu Buwei will definitely let Ying Wei follow him, teach him by words and deeds, and train him to become the next Lu Buwei.

Only in this way can he be The concept has been implemented in the Qin State.

But the person he values ​​​​is the Qin State Chang'an Lord. The two have been on opposite sides from the beginning.

"The king is now older and has his own ideas gradually. However, the Qin Kingdom has finally fought for six generations. Now that the opportunity is available, it must not be missed."

Lu Buwei murmured, as if he was making excuses for himself to control the government and power.

But Lu Buwei actually knew that he could no longer retreat from his position. He had to hold on to power firmly. He could not If he doesn't give up, he will retreat if he doesn't advance.

Because he is no longer a person, but represents the interests of a group, and everyone is pushing him behind his back.

It's not that Lu Buwei is unwilling to return power to the King of Qin, but for He cannot give back the power for his own life and that of his family.

Power is such a poison that it makes people addicted and impossible to quit. Even if they are determined and want to quit, they will eventually find that power has made them unable to control themselves and can only follow suit. Wave 2.7 Zhuliu.

Lao Tzu once said: The way of heaven is to retreat after one's work!

But precisely because it is the way of heaven, not many people can do it!

Lu Buwei quickly restrained his mind, since he was not outside the Qin State If you want to kill Lord Chang'an, then please put him in the urn.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether Lord Chang'an is dead or not. The person behind the rumors has disappeared since Cheng Yu's death.

Compared to Lord Chang'an, the person behind the scenes makes Lu Buwei want to catch him more.

Moreover, the core of power in the Qin State is his home court. Young people are always impatient and impatient. Once he shows his flaws, it is not too late to punish him. Ever since

Luo Wang went to assassinate him, Lu Buwei knew that he and Lord Chang'an were already immortal. Since they are enemies, they must find a way to solve the endless situation.

The old housekeeper looked at Lu Buwei thinking. After thinking for a while, he said:"……Xiangbang, the one who hides the sun……"

Lu Buwei waved his hand and said:"……I know he's dissatisfied, but he's just a killer and can't make too big a splash"

"I don't have the energy to care about his affairs now. As long as he is honest and obedient and can complete orders, then it's up to him to think what he wants."

The old housekeeper hesitated to speak. Seeing the exhaustion on Lu Buwei's face, he felt inexplicably that things were getting worse. Lu Xiangbang was old after all. If it was ten years ago, he would never have said that he lacked energy. Such words.

As people get older and lack energy, they tend to make mistakes. The old butler just hopes that the master will never make big mistakes.
