Chapter 64 In the sixth quarter, Kaiyuan is different and Lu Buwei's counseling is more difficult

In the winter of 247 BC, a frightening snowstorm froze the state of Qin. Although the two major events of the national mourning and the new king's enthronement were over before the heavy snow, except for Meng Ao's group of generals who were still in Jinyang to deal with the aftermath, the overall situation can be said to be tentatively settled.But at this moment, the Qin government and the public were even more disturbed.Heavy rain in late autumn followed by blizzard in early winter, no matter how you dismantle it, it is not a good sign.The old Qin people have always followed the law and did not believe in rumors, but it is impossible not to respect the mysterious and unpredictable heaven.With such odd numbers in the sky, the old Qin people naturally have to speculate and discuss with anxiety.According to the theory of yin and yang that common people generally know a thing or two about, the sudden death of King Zhuangxiang of Qin in his prime had already responded to the omen of thunderstorms in the cold autumn, and if he answered, he would be broken. It is nothing more than an omen that the new king is going to have a difficult time on the throne. In the world of the Warring States Period where crises are frequent, such auspicious omens are really not worth worrying about.What really disturbed the old Qin people was the thick fog that persisted for ten days after the day and night thunderstorm!According to Zhanhou of the Yin-Yang family, if the sky and the earth are foggy, the ruler and ministers will be good; if the fog gathers everywhere, people can’t be seen in the daytime, and if they don’t leave for a long time, it’s a sign that the evil government will destroy the powerful and destroy the family!The new king ascended the throne as a young man, but his toughness and outstanding insight are far from what a young man should have. Such a new king of Qin may be completely incompatible with a lenient and strict regent like Lu Buwei.If the monarchs and ministers are really good and the government is evil, wouldn't Qin be in chaos?The Qin government was in chaos and the six countries took revenge. Wouldn't it be true that every family of the old Qin people would be wiped out?Thinking about it this way, everyone is born, and all kinds of speculations and discussions gather and flow beside the Wodong Liao stove. With business travelers filling the city, mountains and fields, it becomes a trend of "national suspicion" for a while!

This is one of the major political crises unique to the monarchy-the suspicion of the master. Every age has its own law of power.Different power laws lead to different power phenomena.Under the monarchy, there are two kinds of power phenomena that cause the most serious political crises: one is a strong monarch and the government is late, and the other is the lack of power and doubts about the country.Since ancient times, almost all sudden changes in power have occurred during these two periods of crisis.The danger of a strong monarch's twilight regime is that the mysterious whereabouts of the strong monarch in his old age lead to the prevalence of conspiracy.All the powerful monarchs in the 5,000-year history of China, without exception, have faced twilight political crises, and there are very few people who are sober in their twilight years and can effectively prevent chaos behind them!In terms of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period alone, the great overlord Duke Huan of Qi, Jiang Xiaobai, the heroes of the Warring States Period Zhao Wuling, Qi Wei, Yan Zhao, Qin Zhao, and later Qin Shihuang all caused major crises during the twilight period.Among them, only King Qin Zhao, who was mysterious but still sober after the age of sixty, maintained Qin's strong position and smooth handover under the situation of six foreign countries counterattacking and internal power disputes, which is truly commendable!The suspicion of a young master is another kind of crisis—a young master is bound to be weak, and it is easiest for strong officials to rise up and cause chaos to force the palace!Since ancient times, the great treachery and great evil have all been born in the period of the young master in all likelihood.From the beginning of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, and even the following two thousand years, the danger of doubting the ruler of a small country is far more than that of a strong monarch and his administration.There is only one reason. After all, strong monarchs and heroic masters are rare, but the accession of young masters to the throne is frequently seen and unavoidable.In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Cheng of Zhou came to the throne as a young man, and rumors spread all over the country, which finally led to a great rebellion involving internal and external alliances that jeopardized the world.It is this kind of recurring political illness that precipitated into a frightening motto of the crisis: "If the master is small, there will be strong ministers, and if the country is suspicious, there will be chaos!"

The cruel historical conclusion is: the crisis caused by a strong monarch and twilight government is shocking, while the crisis caused by a small country is subversive!As a matter of fact, the latter is far more harmful than the former. Now that the young master is coming to court and the strong ministers are in the country, how can the old Qin people not be anxious? Lu Buwei is very clear about all this, the rumors permeating the government and the public, and how to deal with it. After the national funeral was over, and three days before the new king's enthronement ceremony, Lu Buwei moved out of the outer study room in the east side hall of the king's city, and returned to the prime minister's government affairs.The elder Shi Huanli and the CRRC government order both opposed it, but they failed to stop Lu Buwei from moving out.Lu Buwei has only one sentence: "Everything is normal, and the extraordinary law cannot last long!" The wise and diligent old Huan Li has been doing history for nearly 30 years. He has been in charge of the affairs of the monarch's study and accompanied three generations of Qin kings. Seeing that Lu Buwei insisted on going, he sighed and stopped objecting.When the desk was ready and handed over, Lao Huanli insisted on sending Lu Buwei Yinyin to the carriage and horse farm.When Lu Buwei was about to board the car, Lao Huanli finally asked in a low voice: "I have seen my old illness, and I want to resign from the official position and hide myself. Do you think it is okay?" Lu Buwei was stunned for a while, thinking for a moment and asked: "The new king is on the throne. And Chang Shi’s resignation, do you think it’s appropriate?” Lao Huanli sighed sadly: “I’ve been in the center for a long time, so I’m out of order!” Lu Buwei couldn’t help laughing and then said seriously: “My lord is asking, forgive me: Lord When the young country is in doubt, the key ministers should be quiet and not move; as long as the King of Qin doesn't think we are too bad, your lord will be a normal official and don't think about making any changes!" Lao Huanli hurriedly bowed in panic: "How can the old man compare with Wen Xinhou? Wen Xinhou speaks seriously!" "Old brother is so bad!" Lu Buwei patted Che Shi with emotion, "The same court is in charge of the country, even though the powers of affairs are different, why not work together? A few years later, the king of Qin will be successful. How about resigning together?" "Marquis Wenxin!" Lao Huanli choked with sobs, and hurried away, covering his face with his sleeves.

Three days later, a grand enthronement ceremony was held in the main hall of Xianyang Palace. The young prince Yingzheng ascended the throne and became the seventh King of Qin in the sixth generation after Qin Xiaogong.At the grand ceremony, the edict of King Zhuangxiang of Qin was officially announced, and Lu Buwei's title of Marquis of Wenxin was restored; Zhao Ji entered the main hall of the palace for the first time, accepted the title of Empress Dowager, and also accepted the congratulatory gift of three worships from the ministers; The King of Qin solemnly visited the Empress Dowager Yingzheng and Zhongfu, but his enthronement oath after ascension to the throne was simple and practical: "Yingzheng ascended the throne as a young man, and his ambition and knowledge are lacking, so he should be tempered diligently in accordance with his father's will. Before the crowning of the king, all state affairs should be discussed and dealt with by the queen mother and Zhongfu, and the ministers of the department are not allowed to ask the king." After the ceremony, Lao Huanli loudly read out the first regent edict signed by the queen mother Wen Xinhou : "The new king is established, and the state affairs are governed by the Qin law. At the same time as the funeral, all the courtiers and workers are in their positions, and they are diligent in government affairs. Those who neglect the government are punished according to the law. Da Shuchang, the rest of the officers and men will be rewarded and promoted according to the law."

When the grand ceremony was over, the courtiers were greatly surprised, they just stepped on the air and lost their minds. Whether King Xiaowen came to the throne or King Zhuangxiang came to the throne, Lu Buwei, who presided over the overall situation, has introduced several new policies that are quite fresh and practical. Although there are disputes, they always refresh the people of the country.However, many courtiers expected that this time the new monarch Kaiyuan Lu Buwei's full-power regent will go to war, fully implement his new policy of lenient wealth, and once again break the law of Qin!Based on these judgments, many ministers made different preparations with their own minds.Tingwei, Yushi, Sikou, Guozhengjian and other law-related ministers prepared to stop Wen Xinhou from amending the law again. If Wen Xinhou refused, he would not hesitate to be demoted and imprisoned, but also to move the court for resolution!A group of royal ministers in charge of royal affairs, such as Si Che Shuchang, are most afraid that Lu Buwei will use the opportunity of Kaiyuan to settle the royal disputes caused by Yingxi Jinyang's rebellion, but if he is not careful, there will be endless troubles. Besides, if Lu Buwei insisted on not obeying, he would have no choice but to destroy his face to protect the country.Datian Order, Taicang Order, Bang Sikong, Guanshi Order and other economic ministers are most afraid of Lu Buwei's big tax cuts and exemption of corvee during the New Deal; However, when the master and the country are suspicious, it is most likely to attract powerful enemies to attack. At that time, there is no food in the official warehouse and no money in the treasury.Although most of the military officials and generals are still in Jinyang to quell the chaos, Meng Ao also sent an urgent secret letter to the Guowei Mengwu, with only one order: "If Marquis Wenxin implements a new policy, please advise him not to reduce the tax for the time being. If he insists on not From now on, I will personally return and remonstrate." There is a common reason for all these and so on: the Lord Shaoguo is suspicious of the government and the people are in panic, and the state affairs are based on doing nothing to prepare for chaos!However, no one expected that the new king's enthronement ceremony did not come up with any new actions. After an edict was read out, the courtiers left the court before they recovered their senses.

"Go away!" "Mediocre and inaction!" "It can be stretched freely, which is rare!" The courtiers flowed out of the hall and into the carriage and horse farm. Even if they heard someone nearby sighing and sighing, they would never join in the conversation. No one looked at anyone, so they hurried to the front of their own car and boarded the car and left.After all, the laws and regulations of the Qin State are strict, and the ministers suddenly understood at this moment: at this extraordinary time, it is the top priority to perform their duties!Where did Wen Xinhou's New Deal come from?It’s not about stabilizing the government and the opposition but seeking overall stability!What is the meaning of the sentence in the imperial edict, "Everyone is safe in their positions, everyone is diligent in government affairs, and those who neglect governance are punished according to law"?It's not that the ministers are afraid of panicking and neglecting the government!Having said this, it can be seen that Wen Xinhou has a clear understanding of the overall situation, which is not what I expected.Doing your own housework is the top priority, why are you still talking about it?

For ten days in a row, Lu Buwei only approved three sentences on all the official documents reported: "There are laws and laws, but there are no rules. If there are no exceptions, the chief official will first make judgments." Qin Fayuan Zhou Yan, Shandong Six Kingdoms "There are rules for everything", there are very few things that cannot be followed, and the addition of "no rules" can cover almost all state affairs.Those who really can't follow without example, can't be one of a hundred cases.It is such a rare incident, Lu Buwei also wants the minister in charge of the government office to come up with his own method first, and when he comes to him, it is just a discussion and a case.As a result, Lu Buwei was so detached that he sat in the study for two hours every day and finished reviewing all the official documents, and the rest of the time he spent walking in the snow in the garden; without fur or boots, he only wore a natural silk robe A pair of three-ply cloth boots, his face was flushed red by the wind and snow, but he kept walking...

Finally, the horrific blizzard that had been in the door all night came to an end.When the red sun first came out, the red clouds gradually dispersed, and under the clear blue sky finally appeared the big Xianyang that had been buried alive.The old Qin people came alive, and rushed out of the house to shovel snow and clear roads without the supervision of the government.Within three days, the three feet of snow had turned into towering snowmen standing beside the ditches on both sides of the streets, and the dark ditches leading to the Weishui outside the city murmured day and night to dissolve these giants, and also took away the anxiety of the old Qin people. The city is depressed and irritated, the government and the city are opened, the hundred workshops are lit, the people of the country take to the streets, and the farmers enter the city, and everything returns to calm.

On the day of Qing Dao, Lu Buwei's black chariot rumbled into the royal city, and stopped directly outside the east side hall.Entering the hall, it was empty and deserted, and there was no one there, and the door from the hall to the study was tightly closed.Lu Buwei was looking around and wanted to call a servant to ask, but he saw Lao Huanli swaying from the west side hall with his waist hunched, adding a touch of sadness to the empty palace. "Old Changshi, where is King Qin?" Lu Buwei hurried down the stairs to support the old man. "It's hard to say!" Lao Huanli shook his head and sighed, "The next day after the ceremony, the King of Qin moved out of the palace. The old car who Jianzhi went to escort came back and said that the King of Qin moved to a garden near Zhangtai. It is one mile away from Bieyuan in his small manor. The old CRRC said that it was a farmer’s manor that King Qin bought himself before he became the prince. The old man was very worried, so he rushed to see him the next day and wanted to invite King Qin back to the king’s city. ..." The old man shook his head and stopped.

"Old Changshi said it's okay, it's not illegal." "Ashamed, ashamed, Huanli is so old and confused!" The old man seemed to wake up now, and sighed again, "The king of Qin said, I live in the king's city, and the ministers and workers pass the palace every day. It is difficult to see or not. ; When I left the royal city, firstly, I obeyed my father’s edict to temper it, and secondly, I made Zhongfu’s administration undisturbed, how could it be wrong to kill two birds with one stone?” "So, what do you wait for the royal government officials to do?"

"That's right!" Lao Huanli nodded and shook his head and sighed, "The King of Qin said that the officials of the chief historian and the servants of the CRRC Mansion are all under the control of the Empress Dowager Zhong's father, and I have one Wang Wan!" "Not one left?" "Not one left." "A servant beside you?" "There is only one boy servant, Zhao Gao." "A military car?" "They all live in Zhangtai Bieyuan." Lu Buwei thought for a moment and said decisively: "Old Changshi immediately ordered people to tidy up the east side hall, and the study was as usual. I will go to Zhangtai to invite the king!" "Marquis Wen Xin, it's difficult!" Lu Buwei didn't say any more, jumped into a double-horse chariot of the royal family's Zhongchefu in front of the hall, and flew out of the royal city, crossing the Wei Bridge and heading straight to the southeast.The snow on the official road to the east has already been cleared away, and a heavy line has been drawn in the vast snowfield, although there are few horses and horses, after all, it can be seen from time to time.Once you get off the official road and turn up the branch road leading to Zhangtai, the situation is very different.This place belongs to the royal family's garden, and it was closed as usual before early summer, and all the servants on duty along the route returned to Shouzhangtai Palace, and there was no one to plow the snow or respond to surveys along the way.Despite the wind and solar eclipse, the dry snow and ice still covered the road tightly, and the cold wind wrapped the dry and hard snow particles, tearing and entangled the horses and horses like a shadow.For a car with only one umbrella cover, this kind of wind and ice is the biggest "difficulty on the road".The driver cheered up and shouted: "My lord, hold the umbrella pillar steady!" Just as he was about to go on the road, Lu Buwei suddenly stomped his feet and shouted to stop in a deep voice. "My lord is going to go another day!" The driver suddenly reined in his horse. "Who wants another day?" Lu Buwei jumped out of the cart and waved his hands, "Unload the cart and change the horse!" "My chariot driving skills are good, but my lord can get on the chariot." Lu Buwei laughed teasingly: "It's only acceptable in Wangcheng, and it's a taboo to drive in dry snow and ice, don't you know?" "My lord..." The driver of CRRC Mansion blushed for a moment. "It doesn't matter. It's time to unload the car and change the horse." The driver was really neat, he took off the saddles and bridles of the two horses in a short while, drew a huge arrow at the crossing beside the car, and flew on the horse to step on the road in front of his head.But Lu Buwei waved his hand to stop him and said: "You haven't walked through the Bingling Road, you just follow behind." The driver was terrified: "How can this happen! How difficult is the Bingling Road?" Lu Buwei didn't speak, he lightly lifted the reins and walked away Immediately passed the roadside ridges with dry thatch exposed, but did not walk in the middle of the avenue that looked as flat as a mirror.The driver followed without daring to ask any more questions, and walked carefully for more than twenty miles before he saw Zhangtai Bieyuan.When getting off the road, Lu Buwei smiled and said: "Remember: the road is icy after snow, only look at the grass producing snow, don't look at the soil passing through the ice." The east side of the hall is on duty, dedicated to preparing for the urgent affairs of the King of Qin.Today I was aggrieved by Wen Xinhou all the way, although the driver only nodded his head, but the boss was puzzled.Seeing that it was too late to get off the road, the driver lifted the reins of the horse as if unintentionally, and stepped on a piece of ice and snow on the road.Unexpectedly, as soon as the horse's hoof touched the road, it slipped out, and the horse fell heavily. The driver was caught off guard and was crushed under the horse's body! "Stupid!" Lü Buwei was angry, smiling and anxious, so he flew to the other garden, ordered the guards at the gate of the Luzhai camp to rescue the driver, and then went straight to the big tent. The commander-in-chief, driving the escort of the bus, Sima came to see him in panic, telling that the king of Qin did not follow the law, and the officials were at a loss what to do, and they were like waste in this wilderness garden!Lu Buwei didn't say much, but ordered to straighten up the car and drive the guard of honor immediately to meet King Qin in the palace.The bus Sima was very confused, but he didn't dare to ask more questions.After all, Zhangtai is a place that expands too much. If it is small, it is Zhangtai Palace. If it is large, it is the royal garden more than a hundred miles southeast of the Weishui River in Xianyang.After some emergency packing, vehicles and guards of honor and guards rumbled out of Zhangtai Bieyuan and headed west. After walking for about an hour, they had already arrived from the southeast of Xianyang to the south, and entered a valley facing three mountains.Just now Lu Buwei ordered the soldiers to take a short camp to rest their horses, and the commander of the bus took six guards to follow him up the mountain. It was the setting sun of winter, and although much of the snow on the hillside had melted away, it was still knee-deep.Fortunately, there is a line of very clear and solid footprints leading to the top of the mountain, and Lu Buwei and his party are spared the pain of exploring under their feet.It took half an hour to arrive at the top of the mountain, but the vegetation was dry and covered with snow, and the small hilltop could be seen at a glance: a stone wall surrounded a manor house more than a hundred steps away, the stone gate was closed, and the smoke was curling up. It was really an ordinary farmyard.Lu Buwei had heard Wang Wan talk about this manor. At that time, he thought that King Qin had built another mountain residence for the prince. No matter how simple it was, it was comparable to his own private manor in the south of the city.Being in the scene today, Lu Buwei couldn't help but feel very touched when he faced the rough and simple courtyard. A young man can temper himself in such a place, even if he is the king of Qin, he will not give up. It is not difficult! "This? Xinggong?" The bus Sima muttered suspiciously. "Everyone, remember: from today onwards, this mountain is called Hongtai!" Lu Buwei waved his hands solemnly and ordered, "The guards guard the outside of Hongtai, and the bus Sima calls to see King Qin!" "Hi!" The bus Sima took the order, and immediately shouted the number to Shimen, "Lu Buwei, the prime minister of Wenxinhou Kaifu, led the bus Sima and others, to meet the King of Qin—" Before the echo came, the Shimen opened with a bang, and a man in black People rushed out and bowed: "Sheren Wang Wan pays homage to Wen Xinhou!" Before he finished speaking, he heard a rush of footsteps in the courtyard, and a young man in a black embroidered gold cloak rushed forward and bowed deeply: "Father Zhong is coming, and the government is far away to welcome you!" Lu Buwei hurriedly helped the young man, but was about to return to worship, but was supported by the young man Ying Zheng, "If Father Zhong wants a big gift, I will be in a mess! Come on, please." Father Zhong went to the village to talk." After speaking, he helped Lu Buwei and entered the Shimen courtyard. After all, he is a teenager at heart, and Ying Zheng led Lu Buwei to see the manor back and forth with great interest.Seeing that it was getting dark, Wang Wan led Zhao Gao and Aunt Linghu had already set up a small banquet in the main hall of the north room.Yingzheng ordered: "In the village, only Father Zhong talked to me. The bus Sima waited for a group of people to camp outside the village for the army to cook, and the jars of old Fengjiu were moved to them!" It was also Lu Buwei who wanted to see this place. How did the young King Qin deal with such an unexpected event? He just listened and watched but didn't speak. Seeing that the young Yingzheng was calm and calm, he felt much more at ease.When the two sat opposite each other and had a drink, Yingzheng put down the drink and said, "I'm not good at drinking, so I only have this one drink. Father Zhong can take care of himself." Lu Buwei sighed: "The old minister was fine in the past, but he is still the same now. I'm too strong to drink, just three or five lords!" Ying Zheng cupped his hands and said, "Father Zhong must have something to do here today, but please make it clear." "My king knows, how many times has the young master ascended the throne since Duke Xiao of Qin?" "Twice. Back then, King Zhaoxiang ascended the throne at the age of fifteen, and today Zheng ascends the throne at the age of thirteen." "The young master ascended the throne twice, is there any difference in the general situation?" "It's pretty much the same." "My king thinks to himself: As the young master, which one is more difficult, the king or the king Zhaoxiang?" Ying Zheng's eyes flashed suddenly and he replied calmly: "King Zhaoxiang is in trouble, it's so difficult!" "How did you see that?" "At that time, the ancestor, the Empress Dowager Xuan and the four nobles, had been in power for forty-two years, but King Zhaoxiang was finally able to survive, so it was difficult." "King Zhaoxiang survived for forty-two years without being in charge, what is the reason?" Ying Zheng was speechless, stunned for a moment, then knocked on the ground: "I would like to hear the teachings of Father Zhong!" Lu Buwei tapped on the wooden case lightly: "King Zhaoxiang's scriptures are only in eight words: never leave the center, everything is heard." Seeing the young King Qin contemplating, Lu Buwei calmly said, "Ordinary young masters, but if you don't personally govern, you can trust the horse with the reins." Going away, or the sensual dog and horse are becoming more and more depraved, or they are willing to stay away from the center. No matter what the route is, there is always one thought: I believe that the mother of the regent will be able to return the power to himself at that time! As everyone knows, the public is the most private. For father and son, mother and son, there is no one in a thousand miles who takes the initiative to surrender to the public! Even if Ming Huiying is as decisive as the latter, and the regent until the age of Zhaoxiang King is fifty-seven years old, how can it be reasonable? If it is an ordinary king, who will stand up? Forty-two years? I'm afraid that twenty-four years will be a day of mourning! However, it is just that King Zhaoxiang is outstanding when he is young. State affairs, as long as the empress dowager discusses with her, she will express her opinion frankly; as long as courtiers or foreign envoys who enter the palace or foreign envoys bump into them, the king of Qin will participate in the meeting to state his own opinions, and will never stand by. Those who are in charge will never lie to others... All these and so on, the Queen Mother Xuan and the four dignitaries could not completely ignore King Zhaoxiang, and gradually there was a "king and hearing but no decision", and gradually there was a "The king and the king will decide together after hearing about it." If it weren't for this, how could King Zhaoxiang gather all his strength to fight against Zhao immediately after taking office, and always control the overall situation!" Lu Buwei sighed heavily, "Young man Wang Mingshi, this time Middle joint, you can think for yourself!" After a long silence, the young Yingzheng stood up and left his seat in awe, and bowed to Lu Buwei: "Father Zhong's teachings, Zheng will be engraved in his heart forever!" As soon as he got up, he waved his hands and ordered loudly, "Wang Wan closes this village, and I will return tonight. Xianyang King City!" "I, Wang Mingduan..." "Wen Xinhou!" Wang Wan, who walked in quickly, exclaimed, and resisted the trembling Lu Buwei, "Qin King, Wen Xinhou was burned by the wind and cold!" Ying Zheng rushed over, pulled off his cloak and wrapped it around Lu Buwei's body, turned around and shouted again: "Little Gaozi! Bring the big mink fur!" He clasped his arms and walked while sternly ordering, "Let's drive! Liao stove into the king's chariot! Aunt Linghu and Xiao Gaozi get into the chariot to protect Zhong's father! Wang Wan takes care of the aftermath!" A clear and hasty voice echoed with the mountain wind, and Ying Zheng had already strode out of the manor with Lu Buwei in his arms. Zhuang Wai's bus Sima had already heard the order.Three cornets sounded in a hurry, and the well-trained but seldom used royal guards at the foot of the mountain immediately showed their strength-more than a hundred strong soldiers rushed up the mountain with a king's chariot, and waited for Yingzheng to carry Lu Buwei to the king. The car was properly placed, and it was carried down the mountain smoothly like the wind!Ying Zheng sternly shouted back all the guards who asked him to get on the chariot, and only followed the chariot, guarding the royal chariot at every step. On a dry and cold winter night, the well-groomed royal chariot left the valley, crossed the Weishui River, entered Xianyang, and finally entered the royal city around four o'clock.The elder Shi Huanli, who was guarding the marquis all day long, really didn't expect that the rebellious young King Qin would come back as expected, so he couldn't help calling God's will, and ordered the king's city to light up the lights!When he saw Lu Buwei who was unconscious on the king's chariot, Elder Chang Shi couldn't help but burst into tears.At this moment, the lights in the royal city were all brightly lit, and all the officials and workers on duty gathered outside the east side hall, both rejoicing for King Qin's return to the throne and worrying about Wen Xinhou's illness. Three days later, Lu Buwei's cold and fever subsided and his spirit improved, so he insisted on moving back to the mansion.Ministers and officials came to visit after hearing the news. Lu Buwei fell ill and struggled for half a day and felt sleepy, so he thanked a group of courtiers and went back to his dormitory to fall asleep.When I woke up, it was already midnight.Lu Buwei was consciously awake, seeing his wife Chen Xuan and Mo Hu both guarding the couch, sitting up and eating some soup, he asked about the recent affairs of the mansion. "Since my husband asked, Mo Hu said it's all right." Chen Xuan smiled lightly. "Yes." Mohu agreed, turned around and brought a copper box from the inner secret room and opened it, "On the night my lord entered the king's city, an old man who claimed to be a Bashu salt merchant sent this box, saying that he was delivering a letter to lord on behalf of the master's family. Please be careful, my lord. I asked him if your lord would reply, and he said that your lord will take care of it after reading it, so he went." He opened three or five layers of Shu brocade, and a bamboo slip almost as wide as the palm of his hand came out! "Green-backed alone?" Lu Buwei was a little surprised when he glanced out of the corner of his eye.This is a unique bamboo slip that is rarely used by ordinary people. It is as wide as three inches.Looking at it under the lamp, there are three lines of ancient scriptures that have been lost on the slip, but after careful identification, it is: "Bo Ying has a different heart, and he has already formed his power. Think about it." In the last blank space, the word "Qing" with rippling lines is still branded. "This single slip is always a little weird." Chen Xuan muttered in a low voice. "It's already three o'clock at night, let me sleep well." Lu Buwei smiled wearily. In the early morning of the next day, Lu Buwei's car went straight to the Guowei's office.Meng Wu, who was busy with Jinyang's food and grass, was very surprised, and personally greeted Lu Buwei to the main hall.After dismissing the left and right officials, Meng Wu bowed solemnly: "Marquis Wenxin must have something urgent, dare to ask for instructions." Lu Buwei smiled lightly and said: "Not in a hurry, but in a hurry. If you want to see your son, send him a Errands too." Meng Wu said with a relieved smile, "Marquis Wen Xin just laughed, what did Huang Kou do?" "But not necessarily." Lu Buwei sipped his tea and shook his head, "King Qin has returned to Wangcheng's study to practice. I would like to invite you The two young masters Meng Tian and Gan Luo are the companions of King Qin, and there is nothing boring about learning from each other. Otherwise, if King Qin thinks about living alone in the valley, I will be caught blind." "Wen Xinhou is thoughtful and considerate, I respect you!" Meng Wu nodded generously, half pleased and half complaining, "It's just that this kid has always been clinging to Eldest Father, and he is far from my father. Last year, this kid went to Fengze, They said they wanted to find out the secret of the father’s defeat. I originally disagreed, but my father insisted on indulging and admiring it. What a way! It’s been a year so far, and I don’t even have a piece of bamboo! I only brought it to my father’s army In one sentence, there are only three words 'I'm very good'! Let's say, Wen Xinhou, how decent is the kid!" "How is the little boy?" "Don't dare! Meng Yi is only eight years old, how can he enter the royal city?" "When will Meng Tian return?" "Cough! I really don't have a son Chou Yinmao!" "God's will!" Lu Buwei sighed, got up and left.
