My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 286: It’s Qin’s plan, how can I not follow this memorial!

Lu Buwei did not answer and asked instead: "What news does Mr. Zhuang want to report to the Prime Minister this time?"

Zhuang Jia immediately replied: "Young Master Fu Chu has secretly formed an alliance with the three tribes of Qu, Jing and Zhao."

Lu Buwei stopped talking and guided Zhuang Jia to think on his own.

After more than ten breaths, Zhuang Jia suddenly looked shocked: "Young Master Fu Chu has secretly formed an alliance with the three clans of Qu, Jing and Zhao!"

"It's not that one clan supports the young master carrying the cud, but all three major clans support the young master carrying the cud!"

"Young Master Fu Chu has no interests that can be exchanged with the three major clans at the same time. Since the three major clans all support Young Master Fu Chu, it means that what Young Master Fu Chu thinks is beneficial to all the nobles of Chu State."

"The nobles such as Dou, Cheng, and Sun will probably support the young master."

"This will not only make it easier for Prince Chu to seize the throne of King of Chu, but also twist the Chu Kingdom into a rope!"

Although the Chu State is vast and sparsely populated, and many of its territories have not yet been developed, no matter how sparsely populated the territory of the Chu State is, it is still there!
During the period of King Wei of Chu, the total population of Chu State was the largest among all the kings!

Even after the Battle of Chuisha, the Chu State lost the sacred land north of Huai and Han, but its total population was still larger than that of Zhao, Yan and other countries.

Looking at paper strength alone, Chu’s national power and military potential are definitely not weak!
The fundamental reason why Chu State has been repeatedly defeated in recent years, and has even been attacked one after another, is not the national strength, but the monarch's poor mobilization ability for the country. Not to mention that if Chu State's full strength is used, half of it can be used. It has to be a war involving the interests of all races!

However, if there is a king who can get the full support of all the nobles, and even tie all the nobles of Chu State to his chariot, so that Chu State can exert [-] to [-]% of its national power, Chu State will become Qin State’s Enemy!
Judging from the current behavior of Mr. Nian Chu, he is very likely to do this!
Lu Buwei nodded slightly: "If the young master carries the cud and ascends to the throne, looking to the future, it will be very detrimental to the Chu State. Once the young master falls behind the cud and dies, the Chu State may repeat the situation of three families being divided into Jins!"

"But if we base ourselves on the present, Chu's war strength will definitely skyrocket!"

Lu Buwei sighed softly: "It's a pity that my king does not want to leave this battle to future generations."

"Once the young master ascends the throne, it will be very detrimental to our great Qin!"

Zhuang Jia comforted him warmly: "Chu is indeed strong, but our great Qin is not bad either."

"If it doesn't work, then let's fight a tough battle!"

"I, the warriors of Great Qin, will definitely win!"

Fighting an uphill battle?

Lu Buwei sighed in his heart.

How many tough battles can the old Qin people in Guanzhong survive?

After fighting tough battles one after another, how much of Da Qin's foundation can still remain!
However, there is no need to talk to Zhuang Jiayan about these concerns. Lu Buwei changed the subject and said, "The impact of this information on our Great Qin goes beyond that."

Zhuang Jia lost his voice and said: "Is it more than that?"

All the information Lu Buwei obtained was brought back by him.

As the first person to have access to this information and the most comprehensive one, Zhuang Jia did not expect that these pieces of information contained a terrible event that might change the king of Chu's throne.

I didn't expect that this information could outline an important piece of news that would be detrimental to Da Qin.

But now Lu Buwei said, it's more than that!
Zhuang Jia began to doubt himself.

Did you get this information or did I get it?
Lu Buwei did not pay attention to Zhuang Jia's isolation, but said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhuang just said that the young master ordered Mr. Zhuang to go to Xianyang to investigate Xiang Bangqi?"

Zhuang Jia came to his senses and added: "Of course."

"Young Master Fu Chu ordered Zhuang to sneak into Xiang Bangqi's house and explore the list of guests at Xiang Bangqi's house, as well as which Chu forces Xiang Bangqi had frequent contacts with."

Lu Buwei gently tapped the map of Kun with the wooden stick in his hand: "From this point of view, Xiang Bangqi is not the help of the young master, but the threat of the young master."

"I think that when Xiang Bangqi returned to Chu this time, in addition to sharing the king's worries, he also connected with all the forces in Chu. He may not have the same idea as the young master carrying the cud!"

"If there is a chance, Xiang Bangqi may not lead our army of Great Qin south to seize the throne of King of Chu for him!"

"Due to the status of Prime Minister Bangqi, our country, Da Qin, may be involved in the struggle for the throne of King Chu!"

Zhuang Jia couldn't help but clicked his tongue.

The prime minister of Qin led the troops of Qin to seize the throne of King Chu.

It’s also outrageous!
But if you think about it carefully, this thing is really possible!
Lu Buwei continued: "Young Master is investigating Xiang Bangqi's movements, presumably to prevent Xiang Bangqi from competing with him for the position of King of Chu."

"Will Xiang Bangqi go south? How will he go south? When will he go south?"

"How will Young Master bear the cud control Xiang Bangqi?"

"How will Young Master Fu Chu kill King Han of Chu?"

If Xiong Fuchu wants to ascend the throne, King Chu Han must die.

But killing the King of Chu also requires methods. Otherwise, Xiong Fuchu can kill Xiong Han today, and others can kill Xiong Fuchu tomorrow.

Unfortunately, there was still too little information after all. Lu Buwei couldn't help but sink into thought, sorting out every possibility in his mind.

Seeing that Lu Buwei was meditating to no avail, Zhuang Jia took out a bamboo tube from his sleeve and said, "This is the letter sent by Shangzhu Guoyan to Prime Minister Bangqi."

"My lord, would you like to take a look at it?"

Lu Buwei shook his head: "No need."

“It’s better to watch his letters than to watch his actions.”

"The words in this letter are just words of flattery, so that the Xiang family can sway between the two sides and rely on whoever ascends the throne."

"Why don't you send this letter to Xiang Bangqi and watch Xiang Bangqi's actions."

Zhuang Jia took back the bamboo tube and asked softly: "Is the current situation very difficult?"

Lu Buwei thought and said casually: "It's more difficult than I expected!"

"Da Qin is advancing too fast, and the general trend of the world has changed accordingly."

"The situation that I led in the past has basically been broken. I can no longer control where the world will go next!"

What worries Lu Buwei even more is the current court.

At that time, Xiangbang wanted to go to Chu State to become the king.

At that time, the left prime minister was serving as a censor in vain. He rarely advised Ying Zheng, but worked hard like an old scalper to complete the work assigned by Ying Zheng.

Dang Chao Guowei was sandwiched between Ying Zheng and Ying Chengyu. It was difficult to even breathe, let alone use his fists and kicks!

Coupled with the radical Ying Zheng and Ying Chengyu who is more radical than Ying Zheng.

Lu Buwei is really worried that the big ship of Da Qin will suddenly capsize during its most prosperous period!

Zhuang Jia suddenly smiled: "It seems that Zhuang can no longer return to his home to cultivate."

"Although Zhuang is used and forced by many parties, he is the only one who can penetrate the influence of all parties like Zhuang, right?"

Lu Buwei was silent.

The Chu Kingdom is calm on the surface, but there is an undercurrent surging inside, which may set off a huge wave at any time and affect the Qin Dynasty!

At this critical moment, Lu Buwei needed a nail to be hammered into the Chu State so that Lu Buwei could get updated news as soon as possible.The multi-faceted spy Zhuang Jia is the most suitable candidate, and he is also Lu Buwei's only candidate now.

Lu Buwei bowed his hands in shame: "I am going to make a mistake."

"With Mr. Laozhuang, you can go into danger again for me, Da Qin!"

Zhuang Jia accepted Lu Buwei's gift calmly, and immediately returned the gift with his hand: "Zhuang is lucky that the master will not give up, and picked Zhuang at his last moment."

"Since the Lord has a need for Zhuang, Zhuang must die in the service of the Lord!"

With Zhuang Jia's current situation, he would have a narrow escape from death if he returned to Chu State.

But for Lu Buwei, Zhuang Jia was ready to die.

Lu Buwei said sincerely: "Don't say such unlucky words."

"Three years!"

"In my opinion, the overall situation of Chu State will be determined within three years!"

"Three years later, I will open the central gate and welcome Mr. Zhuang back to my home!"

Zhuang Jia also looked at Lu Buwei sincerely: "In three years, Zhuang will come back as promised."

"Please, Lord, be gracious to yourself!"

"Mr. Zhuang does not ask the Lord to open the middle door to welcome him. He only wants to see the Lord sitting in the main hall and drinking warm wine with Mr. Zhuang when he returns home!"

Although he is in Chu State, Lu Buwei is too important to the world.

Zhuang Jia often heard Xiong Fuchu, Xiang Yan and others talking about Lu Buwei.

Zhuang Jia also knew something about Lu Buwei's current predicament and danger.

He didn't want to wait until he returned again, only to drink from Lu Buwei's grave grass!
Lu Buwei smiled warmly: "Yes, I will!"

Zhuang Jia looked straight at Lu Buwei: "Although Zhuang is a candidate for Qin, the reason why Zhuang wanders in danger is only the Lord."

"If the Lord spares his own life and unfortunately dies, Zhuang will no longer be used by Qin and will only live in the mountains and wilderness!"

"This is not just what Zhuang thinks, but also what many people think!"

Lu Buwei knew that there was no way to hide the predicament he was in, so he said calmly: "Even though I died unfortunately, my thoughts are still alive."

"I have already spared my own life, but please Mr. Zhuang to protect my thoughts!"

Zhuang Jia refused directly: "Impossible!"

"Please, Lord, please don't have such delusions."

"If the Lord dies, Zhuang will immediately cut off contact with his superiors and hide in the Chu Kingdom!"

Lu Buwei did not persuade, but just smiled: "Don't talk about me anymore."

"Tell me how Mr. Zhuang should keep himself safe after returning to Chu."

"Let's go, have a drink and talk!"

After drinking warm wine and chatting until late at night, Lu Buwei and Zhuang Jia rested together.

When Lu Buwei woke up the next day, he found that there was no one around him except for a bamboo splinter lying next to him.

[Someone took away the jar of wine that was not finished last night. Three years later, you and I will drink it together again! 】

Holding the bamboo piece tightly, Lu Buwei felt quite complicated.

A servant's low voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Prince Yan wants to see you."

Lu Buwei declined in a deep voice: "No!"

"The Marquis's residence has been sealed, and he is told that I am ill and will no longer have any visitors!"

After sending away the servants, Lu Buwei put on his coat and walked to the study, holding a knife and pen and writing quickly.

[The minister Wen Xinhou Bu Wei Yao pays homage to the king...]

Bamboo shavings flew around, revealing the vigorous and powerful fonts.

Revise, revise, write and stop.

Five days later, a [-]-word remonstrance appeared on the bamboo slips.

However, when the last knife was carved, Lu Buwei did not feel relaxed. Instead, after a long silence, he picked up the bamboo slips and staggered towards the bookcase.

The bookcases on three sides are already filled with memorials. Some of them were written ten days ago, while some of them were written more than a year ago.

However, no matter when they were written, their ultimate fate was the same.

After it was written, it was stuffed into a bookcase and unknown to anyone else!
Because Lu Buwei knew very well the dissatisfaction and resentment Ying Zheng felt towards him.

Now Lu Buwei should have no choice but to stay in his fiefdom peacefully. Not to mention giving advice, it is best not to even show his name in front of Ying Zheng and become completely invisible in Ying Zheng's life!

When Ying Zheng achieved complete control over Da Qin, he no longer needed to worry about Lu Buwei.

When Lu Buwei's hair and beard are all white and he is old, he will not pose a threat to Ying Zheng's rule.

If Lu Buwei had appeared in front of Ying Zheng at that time, he might not have been killed by Ying Zheng!

"For my own sake, I really shouldn't go to this memorial."

"If this memorial goes up, I may not be around for long!"

While muttering in his mouth, Lu Buwei looked at the memorials stored in the bookcase and refused to leave for a long time.

"But the current situation is too complicated, and the king is still young. Can he see the situation clearly and make correct judgments?"

Taking out the bamboo slips again, Lu Buwei walked back to the desk.

"Your Majesty is too enterprising. If you cannot persuade Your Majesty to slow down, the Qin Dynasty may overthrow, and the prosperous age that I wish for will be gone, and the world will be replaced by great suffering!"

Lu Buwei put the bamboo slips into the bamboo tube and put the sealing mud on the fire to slowly bake.

"Furthermore, the king has leveled the court and has deep control over the Qin Dynasty. However, the truth is that he is old and has been quick to hand back the power. Maybe I am overthinking it. The king is not so suspicious of me!"

Lu Buwei sealed the bamboo tube and dropped the heated sealing mud on the opening and closing of the bamboo tube.
"For Qin's plan, how can I not do this?"

Pulling out Wenxinhou's seal from his waist, Lu Buwei placed the seal heavily on the mud!

"Come on!"

Lu Buwei shouted in a deep voice: "Send this memorial to the court!"
