Chapter 19 Section 2 An Uninvited Guest Comes to the Prime Minister's Mansion

Back in Xianyang, Cai Ze's heart is always heavy. It was expected that the old king of Qin adopted his eight-character An Qin new strategy.However, the most important matter of establishing a royal family was also pressed to him, which Cai Ze never thought of.According to the law, the establishment of the prince is a state matter, and the ministers may participate in the discussion, or be ordered to test the talents and virtues of the prince candidates.However, there is no set rule for the crown prince to establish a heir.According to the tradition of the Warring States period, if the royal family's power was not involved, the establishment of a nobleman's heir was usually a family decision; if the establishment of a heirloom involved the royal family's power structure, the monarch decided the degree of intervention according to the situation.At the time of King Qi Wei, the prime minister Jing Guo Jun Tianying had no sons, so King Qi Wei directly issued an edict to make his concubine Tian Wen the son of Jing Guo Jun, and he was named Meng Changjun.During the Warring States Period, the monarch personally judged the affairs of the royal family and ministers to establish a heir, which attracted the most attention.At present, the establishment of Crown Prince Yingzhu's heir is directly related to the throne and unification. It is far from comparable to that of Lord Mengchang. It should be handled by the King of Qin himself, but who would have thought that it would be on Cai Ze's head.If it's just a matter of major attention to the government and the public, Cai Ze will never be afraid of difficulties, celebrities have made great achievements, how can we see meritorious deeds without overcoming dangers?The key point is that the establishment of the crown prince is directly related to the interests and interests of the various branches of the royal family. There are too many thorny points, and everything is a trick of the rat, which is extremely difficult for foreign ministers to handle.Besides, in the Warring States period, the merits of the generals were admired. When celebrities ruled the country, they either fought to expand the territory, or enriched the people and strengthened the country.With Fan Ju's ability to mediate, when he was ordered by King Zhao of Qin to examine the prince, he had a taste of it. After three months, he resigned and went back to hiding. One can imagine the difficulties.Cai Ze is very insightful, knowing that he is mediocre among the prime ministers of the Warring States and Qin Dynasties in terms of qualifications, prestige, achievements, mediation and conspiracies. .Even these four illustrious talents were defeated in the end by the court mediation of the last days of the hero.How could Cai Ze avoid it for fear of not being able to do it, and why did he ever think about taking responsibility for it?

However, Cai Ze was still ordered. King Qin Zhao let him see the box of secret documents, so he had to accept this tricky privilege.The secret documents include letters from the current veterans regarding the selection of the prince's legitimate son, Fan Ju's letter from the investigation of the princes, and the letter from the prince Yingzhu's self-examination, etc.However, what surprised him the most was that there was even a secret letter written by Shi Cang, a hermit in Hexi!Shicang has a horoscope for the prince and his sons - he doesn't study the classics, but he is good at bowing horses!In the end, it was hard to write: "Shicang commoner, frankly advise: If the kings and grandchildren don't learn the study of economics and economics, Qin will be in danger!" It was Shicang's letter that forced him to take on this difficult job.Shicang was secretly recommended by Fan Ju to Prince Yingzhu, and it was facilitated through Cai Ze's message. According to the law, both of them were "privately promoted".In this situation, Shicang recommended him to supervise Wang Sun, can he refuse?Not to mention the crime of "secret action" behind the back of the old king of Qin, which can only be resolved by accepting the imperial edict. As long as I am proficient in the knowledge of calculus, I can't refuse to enter Qin as the prime minister.Who is this Shicang?If you are really a hermit, you can go as soon as you go, so why come here for a dog to catch a mouse?

Unable to find a place to think about, Cai Ze decided to go to the Prince's Mansion first to inform the handover. Cai Zejin arrived at the prince's mansion with a car, and the elders greeted him quickly, saying that the prince was under the pavilion by the pool.Cai Ze said that he didn't need to speak clearly, so he walked towards the pool with duck steps. Shi Ting was looking at him, and he laughed: "It smells so good! Who knows that good medicine tastes bad?" Ying Zhu just put down the medicine cup, stood Standing up, he cupped his hands and said, "The Prime Minister of Kaifu can be so carefree, Mr. Gang Cheng is worthy of being a great talent!" Cai Ze shook his hand secretly: "What's the use of ridicule? I'm tied to my legs by grasshoppers, and I don't have a chance to jump up " Ying Zhu couldn't help laughing: "There are two festivities under one foot, the opening of the Jinjue's mansion, but why did it become a grasshopper?" Cai Ze sat on the opposite stone bench, but just looked at Ying Zhu and didn't speak.Ying Zhu was amazed, and was about to ask a question, but he heard Yaoyao's long cry: "The edict of the king's order has arrived——"

Ying Zhu hurriedly greeted him outside the pavilion.An old white-haired servant came over with the imperial edict, and then he recited sharply: "Edict of the King of Qin: Crown Prince Yingzhu, to govern the country and supervise the government, to act according to the strategy of Gang Chengjun Cai Ze, and to supervise the political affairs on behalf of the prime minister. Summer and April in the fifty-fourth year of the Great Qin King." The old servant announced that he had left, but Ying Zhu was holding the imperial edict in a daze. "Does Mr. An understand?" Cai Ze's laugh came from Shiting.

"Understood!" Ying Zhu suddenly turned around, his pale and swollen face flushed suddenly, "I supervise the political affairs on behalf of the prime minister, what are you doing, the prime minister? How do I know your strategy? The supervision of the state has become the acting government affairs , the father is clearly old..." Cai Ze smiled leisurely: "A government agent is familiar with state affairs, isn't it good?" "It's very good, it's illegal!" "Ministry is flexible and has nothing to do with the law." "The duties of the prince and the prime minister, how can they be flexible at every turn!"

"Mr. An, don't be restless." Cai Zexu beckoned, and invited the panting Ying Zhu into the pavilion to sit down, then smiled lightly, "Dare to ask Mr. An, have you ever written a letter recently?" Ying Zhu His eyes flickered for a while, and he finally nodded.Cai Ze continued: "After An Guojun wrote the letter, it must be related to An Guojun's letter. If you just do it like this, there will be no mistakes. That's all I said, I will leave." "Wait a minute!" Ying Zhu suddenly stood up, "I'm in charge of political affairs, so didn't I depose the prime minister?"

"What's the explanation?" Cai Ze stood up and walked beside him with a straight face, saying, "This old man is still the prime minister of the mansion, and he is still the prince of the state. Dare to ask An Guojun to come to the mansion tomorrow, and I will take over with the old man." After saying that, he shook his head. Duck walked away.Ying Zhu stared at Cai Ze's back in a daze for a long time, but couldn't recover. When Cai Ze returned to the mansion, it was just at sunset, and there was a rare cool breeze in Xianyang, which greatly reduced the heat in the courtyard.Cai Ze then ordered the scribes to move the case to a spacious and ventilated place in the courtyard, where there were four lanterns on a large mat, so that he could enjoy the freedom of reading at night to pass the summer.When Fang De was ready, he saw the old man approaching lightly and said: "Patriarch, there is a scholar who asked to see him and said that he came with a letter." Cai Zezheng was very excited to read at night, so he waved his hand and said: "No. Take the letter back and pay the reward." It's gone." The elder approached and said in a low voice, Cai Ze frowned but said with a smile, "If that's the case, invite him in."

After a while at home, they saw a man in white fluttering towards him, and Fang Jin bowed at the case: "Lu Buwei, a merchant from Puyang, has met Mr. Gang Cheng." The atmosphere of group harmony spread like hazy moonlight.Cai Ze's heart moved, he made a gesture with a smile and said, "Sit down and talk." Lu Buwei said "obedience", lifted up his linen robe and knelt on the edge of the big table, but was still three feet away from the big table.Cai Ze couldn't help bowing his hands and saluting: "Sir, it's really rare for you to know this ancient ritual of respect." Turning around, he ordered, "Serve tea." Lu Buwei smiled humbly: "Buwei is a businessman, It's just rough etiquette, I don't dare to praise you as a gentleman." Cai Ze smiled and said, "Sir, do you know Fan Jun?" Lu Buwei nodded, then took out a long and thin copper pipe from the lining pocket of his robe, and held it in both hands. Before the kneeling case: "This is a letter. It is inconvenient for Ying Hou to enter Qin Dynasty, and it is just for Wei Wei to send a letter."

Cai Ze took the brass pipe, saw the mud seal on the head of the pipe, his heart skipped a beat, he immediately used a carving knife to remove the mud seal, unscrewed the pipe cover, took out a roll of parchment and opened it, and it was clearly Fan Ju's handwriting: Cai Ze saw his heart beating for a while, but his face was calm as usual, he casually rolled up the parchment and stuffed it into the copper tube, then threw the copper tube into the wooden letter next to the desk, and smiled leisurely: "Mr. Qin, want to do business? Want to live? Want to swim? This old man may help."

"Go first." Lu Buwei smiled happily, "Whether it's business or residence, we'll talk about it later." "Where does Mr. live?" "Changyang Road Jingwei Square." "Oh?" Cai Ze couldn't help being surprised, "There are so many luxury guest houses in Shangshangfang! How do you live in Guorenfang?" "If you want to know Qin Feng, you should know Qin people. Although Shangshangfang is in Xianyang, it is not the essence of Qin." "Okay!" Cai Ze slapped the table with a smile, "Mr. is very knowledgeable, so I don't need to deal with it."

"Mr. Gang Cheng's state affairs are complicated, so Buwei will say goodbye." Lu Buwei got up after saying that, bowed solemnly, and left.Cai Ze wanted to get up to see him off, but he saw the white figure had already floated past the foot of the mountain by the pool. He was stunned for a while, then took out Fan Ju's slips to ponder again, after a while of thinking, he wandered to the Yanshan Mountain by the pool. Fan Ju's letter is unique, not to mention the inside information, the way of sending the letter alone is very strange.According to the rules of carrying letters in business travel, the mud-sealed copper tube means that the messenger has not opened the letter.If it was an ordinary letter, Cai Ze would never have any doubts.However, this is the most important matter related to the power of the future king, and the possible tactics that may arise during it are often unimaginable!Not to mention, that Shicang was obviously the teacher recommended by Fan Ju to Ying Xi, the sixth son of An Guojun, and a hermit from Qiaoshan who had nothing to do with the court. thing?Seeing Shicang's letter suddenly, Cai Ze felt as if he had been slapped with a sap. All the reasons for resigning from Lidi's affairs were overwhelmed by boundless doubts and fears, and he even had a faint suspicion of Fan Ju—is this gentleman going to use me? Have a plan?Because of this suspicion, Cai Ze could only be noncommittal about Fan Ju's letter, and he had to think about it before speaking.Moreover, Fan Ju just mentioned Lu Buwei in the book, and judging from the tone, he is quite dependent.Judging from his words and expressions, it seems that Lu Buwei did not know the content of the letter.However, if you really don't know, how did you get this letter?Could it be that they were going back and forth?With Fan Ju's ability, it was easy to bring a letter to Xianyang Prime Minister's Mansion, so why did he entrust this Lu Buwei?And if Lu Buwei knew the content of this letter, and could face it calmly, this matter for this person is unfathomable! It is true that Ying Yiren's whereabouts are indeed good news.Now that he was ordered to manage the crown prince and set up the heir, with the whereabouts of this young man who had a good reputation but had not been heard from for a long time, that Ying Xi was no longer the only candidate.As long as there is room for "choice", it will be much more beneficial for Cai Ze to manage, and no matter what the result is, at least he can have a fair explanation to the government and the opposition.However, this Ying Yiren cannot easily appear through this path.The crucial point here is whether Fan Ju and Lu Buwei have conspiracies against others?If there is a conspiracy, Cai Ze would rather choose the diplomatic channel to go to Zhao to investigate Ying Yiren, rather than contacting Ying Yiren through Fan Ju and Lu Buwei's "news" channel.Even though Fan Ju has stated in the book that he only reports the news, it is up to the king to decide, Cai Ze is still vaguely uneasy.After all, there is too much inconsistency between words and deeds in the mediation of power. Gradually, as the moon rose to the climax, Cai Ze finally figured it out, and immediately made some adjustments when he returned to the study.In the early morning, two fast horses flew out of the east gate of Xianyang, and a clerk dressed as a business traveler also left the back gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. In the evening of the next day, Cai Ze received a secret report from the clerk: Lu Buwei, a businessman from the Kingdom of Wei, did indeed live in the Liyang Guest Apartment in Jingweifang, Changyang Road. Most of the businessmen in the country don't know about Lu Buwei. Only the boss of Yidun, a great merchant in the Chu country, knows a little bit. He said that this person is based in Chencheng and would never come to Qin to do business.Since then, he has been conducting intensive investigations for half a month, and the news reported is the same: Lu Buwei goes out to walk the streets every day, returns at dusk, and has never made friends with anyone. At this time, the secret scouts from the two roads in Shandong came back on the fast horse and secretly reported two news: first, Fan Ju lived in seclusion in Wangwu Mountain, Hanoi, where he farmed and studied freely. He traveled around with a scholar named Tang Ju. Even the thatched huts in Qiaoshan were burned, and no trace of the "secret scholar" was found.Cai Ze couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, but there was still a trace of doubt that couldn't be shaken off—there was nothing unusual, could it be that the old man was a shadow of a snake?After thinking about it, Cai Ze got into a sealed luggage cart, and drove out through the back door and headed straight for Changyang Road. Entering the chariot and horse farm of Liyang Guest House, a waiter greeted him attentively. Cai Ze said that he wanted to visit a guest officer surnamed Lu. The waiter smiled and said: "Mr. lives in Xiuzhuang, and this is the first visitor. Please follow me." He led Cai Ze to the deepest courtyard, and when he reached the gate of the Zhuli courtyard, he saw two big red letters on a white stone pillar as tall as a person: Xiuzhuang.Cai Ze nodded in admiration: "The guest apartment is so elegant, it has the name of building a villa!" The waiter smiled humbly: "I am ashamed to praise you. I have a rule: guest officials can name their residences when they stay, and I only engrave The stone is." Cai Zeyuan is a member of the Jiran School, who pays attention to all kinds of people's livelihood and customs, and was amazed when he heard the words: "In this way, doesn't a courtyard have many names?" The waiter smiled and said: "Guest officials name it, and people go by it. Stay. If the later resident officials are dissatisfied with the name left by the former guest, they can rename it; if they like the name of the former guest, they can carve their own name on this name stone to show their approval." Cai Ze looked at the white stone carefully, Sure enough, there were three small characters "Puyang Lu" in the lower left corner, and he smiled suddenly: "It seems that the name of 'Xiuzhuang' is actually a new guest official." The waiter nodded and then shouted: "Xiuzhuang" There are guests—" In a short while, I heard the loud laughter in the courtyard. A person in commoner clothes with big sleeves and soft shoes came leisurely from the bamboo forest path. Leisure and free and easy, completely different from the jewels and jades of ordinary merchants.When he got closer, Lu Buwei was obviously a little surprised, he glanced at the waiter, but didn't say anything. "Sir, the guest has received it, and I will take my leave." The waiter bowed, then turned and left. Lu Buwei smiled and cupped his hands: "Mr. Gang Cheng came here in commoner clothes, don't you worry about the danger of the white dragon fish clothes?" "This is the state of Qin." Cai Ze said confidently as a politician, "Go, let's talk in the village." The courtyard of the guest house is not big, but it is shaded by willows and green bamboos. People walk on the stone path in the forest, and the breeze blows gently. There is no humidity, heat and depression.Cai Ze shook his duck and said, "What is the meaning of the name Xiuzhuang you took?" Lu Buwei said with a calm smile, "Xunzi said: "If you don't correct the inside, you have it, but you always want it. If so, then the country will Unavoidable danger. Buwei takes Xunzi's theory of 'revision' and ordered him to build a village, so I ask Mr. Gang Cheng to make it right." Cai Ze smiled a little reservedly: "Xunzi said this when he was discussing the way of fighting kings and overlords in the Jixia Academy. I said it when the old man was present. This statement is the theory of state financial management. It is intended to persuade people to persuade the country: to introspect and correct the use of your own wealth, instead of always trying to occupy other people's wealth. Otherwise, the country will be in danger. Everyone is in danger. Those who can come up with this code must have two things that are different from ordinary people!" Lu Buwei couldn't help laughing: "It depends on the king's judgment, where are the two places?" Cai Ze stopped and said seriously: "With a huge wealth, Read the books of the world. Otherwise, you will never be able to come up with this classic!" Lu Buwei laughed loudly: "The name of a village is actually a hexagram in the king, and the king is good at learning!" Cai Ze has a flat face : "Hahaha, is what the old man said right or wrong?" Lu Buwei just laughed non-stop: "It's right and wrong, it's in the middle of your decision, but what's the use of me saying it? Please, Mr. Gang Cheng——" Along the way, after passing the bamboo forest, you can see three huts surrounded by willows. In front of the small courtyard of the hut, there is a thatched pavilion hidden in the shade of willows. A piece of fragrance.Cai Ze just clapped his hands: "What a mansion, simple, comfortable, and classy!" Lu Buwei smiled and said: "This is the simplest, cheapest, and most secluded courtyard in the guest house. I cleaned it up a little bit. That's all." Cai Ze nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, I'm in a business traveler, but I'm self-confident. Hey! You're good at chess!" Moved. "I have nothing to do when I'm free, I'm just playing for myself, Mr. Gang Cheng laughed at me." "Black chess is in a good position!" Cai Ze's eyes were still fixed on the chessboard, "What do you think?" "It's not Wei Wei's opinion, but the white chess is slightly better." "No, no, black chess is good!" He waved his hand, "I'm black, you're white, continue." "Alright." Lu Buwei turned around and slapped two palms, a girl in green shirt floated from the hut, and knelt down to serve the tea stove.Lu Buwei sat down opposite Cai Ze and cupped his hands: "Please." "Hey! Jing Yuye!" Cai Ze picked up a sunspot and struck it down, but twisted his two fingertips and marveled. "A good player!" Lu Buwei admired sincerely, "This Jingshan Jade doesn't know how good it is, but if it's not someone who loves chess, it's really hard to be so skillful in fingering!" "Tsk tsk tsk!" Cai Ze had already picked up two pieces, one black and one white, from the chess box, and looked at himself in the afternoon sun, "Blue like the sea and sky, red like the morning glow, and like colorful neon lights! Top grade!" Turning around He hit another son, "If you can beat Jingshan Jade, you will not be in vain for the old man's chess skills. Let's go!" Lu Buwei picked up the white piece and smiled leisurely: "Gang Chengjun wins this game, I think it's a good chess game for you to lose." "Wonderful!" Cai Ze laughed loudly with his palms clasped, "It's just a lottery! You don't need to accept gifts for the officials." About half an hour later, Cai Ze made a move on the black-and-white chessboard and said with a smile: "The last official, it's over!" Stretching his waist and letting out a long breath, he picked up the tea in front of him and swallowed it with a croak, "Good tea! " Lu Buwei looked at the board for a moment, and said with a smile: "I lost the majority. Gang Chengjun is really a master!" Cai Ze laughed loudly: "Is it the majority? Count it!" Lu Buwei laughed and said: "I have been in the business travel for a long time, and I am not good at calculations. You know a little bit about mental arithmetic, so you don’t need to count.” "Have you ever counted the number of Go games?" Cai Ze immediately followed. "Mr. Gang Cheng only talked about the base of the layout, but Wei Wei tried to calculate it." "Okay! See Fang Sanlu, nine pieces of chess, how many games can we play?" "Nineteen thousand six hundred and eighty-two rounds." Lu Buwei pinched his fingers silently and answered immediately. "See square five pieces, twenty-five characters, how many games can you play?" "847.2688809430 innings." Cai Ze's eyes flashed: "There are three hundred and sixty-one chess pieces on the board, how many games can we play?" Lu Buwei bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and replied: "No one has counted the total game of Go. According to Buwei's calculation, it takes about 500,000 consecutively, which is the approximate number. Can't count." "It's unbelievable!" Cai Ze was surprised, "If it wasn't for Master Mo Poultry Huali talking about the number of Go games back then, I really couldn't believe that this is counted by one person! Fifty thousand, the ninth place is trillions Thousands of games. Tell me, what is the basic reasoning for such a vast number of games?" Lu Buwei laughed and said, "This is not difficult: change the game to three games, and then there is no difference in the layout of the chess. When it reaches three hundred and sixty-one pieces, the number of pieces is still multiplied by three, which is the total number." Cai Ze suddenly smiled: "You are really a master of arithmetic, I admire you! But, this old man is going to win the lottery." Lu Buwei laughed heartily He stretched out his hand: "Mr. Gang Cheng, please, the hut in the west wing." This thatched hut is unusual, it is cool when you enter the door, it is clearly the specially built "Guimao" with triple thatched grass that is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is better than a large brick and stone house.Bypassing a natural-color bamboo screen, there is a spacious and bright hall - paved with bluestone slabs, a chessboard on the central table, and a grass mound on each side; a guqin on the west, an incense table on the east, and a thin The smoke is still lingering in the hall; the front is a mahogany wall, two huge chess pieces are inlaid in it, and the two big characters of white and black are shining brightly - Chess House! Cai Ze nodded reservedly, then swayed to the bottom of the big wall and looked at it: "The two sons of black and white are carved out of jade, hey! How does this word get in?" Lu Buwei laughed and said: "This is the jade master of the state of Chu and the master of jade. The unique skill of the third generation descendant of the family, cutting jade and carving characters, is like in a mirror." "It's amazing!" Cai Ze exclaimed, "You know Chu and the family with one step?" Lu Buwei said: "The business roots of the Lu family are in Chen. It can be regarded as a Chu businessman. He’s heirs are the heirs of the He family, so I can’t ask Wei to make a move.” Cai Ze suddenly smiled, but he hesitated to speak, but he shook himself in front of the central chessboard and said with a triumphant smile: “It seems that this good chess is This old man is a lottery!" "Jingshan Changyu, how can I become a king?" Lu Buwei smiled, turned around and gave three palms.In a short time, an old man with white hair and beard pushed a small four-wheeled wooden cart into the hall and said with a smile: "Sir, I finally lost the game." Lu Buwei nodded and smiled: "Father Ximen, the winner of ten years, It’s a great fortune to have a Lord today!” Cai Ze blinked his eyes straight: “How so? I haven’t lost a game in ten years?” Lu Buwei sighed with a smile: “Sage hands are hard to come by!” Cai Ze laughed and said "I don't dare to be a sage player. I am the third player in the world." Lu Buwei was surprised: "Who is the champion sage player?" Cai Ze said with a straight face: "Tang Ju is the first, and Shi Cang is the second. The old man Not enough!" Lu Buwei laughed and said, "According to Gang Chengjun's opinion, can Buwei be regarded as a top player?" Cai Ze chuckled: "In terms of chess skills, I am about ten behind. In terms of chess tools, I am the best in the world!" Lu Buwei He couldn't help laughing out loud: "It's worth it to lose the three sages in ten seats! Mr. Gang Cheng, let's see what we have won." Cai Zeyao will come over.The old boss Ximen opened the wooden cover of the car.Lu Buwei leaned over in the car, holding out a rectangular wooden box with a bronze border in both hands.Cai Ze took it solemnly, and couldn't help exclaiming: "It's so heavy!" After looking at it, he couldn't help but was surprised, "Buying a box to return the pearls, is it today? With four sea pearls, this chess box is worth ten thousand gold! Lu Buwei shook his hand and laughed, "Mr. Gang Cheng, chess is made by a sage, and it enlightens the mind. How can it be valued by the eyes of the common people? Buwei once felled wood on the Lingnan seashore and helped fishermen build a big boat to go to sea. The fisherman sent me four It’s a big pearl. If it’s available on the market, wouldn’t it be insulting and elegant.” Cai Ze laughed loudly: “Okay! If you put it this way, this old man can feel at ease!” While speaking, Mr. Ximen had already taken the chess box and opened it on the roof of the car, and pulled out a rectangular chessboard from the box.Cai Ze was puzzled, and the boss held the board with both hands, and the chessboard was assembled into a square: the chessboard was made of heavy mahogany, and the nine stars were connected by copper strips.The two pieces of chess pieces are made of fine jade from Jingshan Mountains, they look crystal clear and soft to the touch, they are indeed the best in chess. "It's a good thing I have a chess set, otherwise I wouldn't dare to accept it." Cai Ze blushed for the first time. Lu Buwei said with a smile: "A good chess game is in the master's hand, and you get what you want. Why should Mr. Gang Cheng be ashamed of having it!" Turning around, he said, "Father Ximen, there is a seat under the Mao Pavilion to celebrate Mr. Gang Cheng's victory in gambling!" In a short while, the wine and dishes were arranged properly, and the two began to drink against each other in the evening breeze.After talking about chess for a while, Cai Ze suddenly remembered and asked: "When did you meet Fan Ju?" Lu Buwei said: "Three years ago, Yinghou Cixiang traveled south, and at the end of the gap, he happened to meet Lu Zhonglian and his wife. Zhonglian is me. As my best friend, I invited Yinghou to join us in Chencheng. After more than a month, Yinghou went." Cai Ze's eyes flickered for a while, and he said, "I've seen Fan Ju again in the next year. I don't know how he is doing?" Lu Buwei said apologetically, " After parting with Chen Cheng, we only passed a letter with Yinghou, and Buwei felt uneasy before we could visit him." Cai Ze's eyes lit up suddenly: "Fan Ju entrusted you with a letter, why didn't we meet?" Lu Buwei said with a smile: " When I entered Qin Dynasty in April, I received letters from fellow merchant travelers in Baimajin, but Yinghou did not come." Turning around, he said loudly, "Father Ximen, bring the letter." After a while, the old chief handed over a wooden box Bring it.Lu Buwei opened it and searched it for a while, then took out a bamboo tube and handed it over: "Ying Hou's book." Cai Ze opened it with a smile, but saw only a few words on the parchment: "Bu Wei Ruhui: I heard that you traveled to Qin, you can take it with you." I will submit a letter to Cai Ze. But I can get rid of the burden of the Qin Palace, and I will feel at ease! If you want to expand business in Qin, you can ask Cai Ze to help him, and you will definitely not delay the matter." "Fan Ju trusts this old man, how can I not trust this old man?" Cai Ze shook the parchment with a serious face. "Why did Mr. Gang Cheng say that?" Lu Buwei laughed, "Whether to do business in the Qin Kingdom, I have to do some research first. The way of business travel does not depend on the court. How could Wei not ask Gang Chengjun for help?" "That's good!" Cai Ze sighed in admiration, but suddenly lowered his voice, "No Wei, do you know what Yinghou's letter said?" Lu Buwei shook his head: "The letter is private, so I don't know if I don't tell you." Cai Ze laughed loudly After laughing for a while, his face was flushed: "Today, I drank this wine to my heart's content! Tomorrow I will reward you!"
