Chapter 43 The second part of career is about to start

Ten days later, Lu Buwei sent someone to invite Li Si to chat.Li Si made full preparations for this late chat.He knew that this time Lu Buwei was finally going to give him a job.He listed several possibilities.One is to let himself inherit the position of Shangqing vacated after Gan Luo's death.The second is to order himself to be one of the nine ministers.These are the best of two possibilities.The third is to order himself to pretend to take refuge in Lao Ai, but in fact act as an internal response for Lu Buwei.This possibility is basically zero, because Lu Buwei has not trusted himself to this extent, and he must be worried that the fake will become real.The fourth is to let yourself act as the lecturer of King Qin Yingzheng, not only teaching the young King Qin, but also keeping abreast of his thoughts at any time.This is also a very tempting possibility.The fifth is to send himself to supervise the army, intervene in military affairs, and cultivate military power for Lu Buwei.This possibility is also quite good.The rest of the possibilities include sending yourself to a place as a sheriff, or sending yourself to a foreign country.

For these potential multiple possibilities, Li Si has carefully considered his own different coping strategies.It is too late to wait until the spot to react. Li Si secretly suppressed the excitement in his heart.He is about to bid farewell to his status as a housekeeper who was raised in captivity, officially embark on his official career, and start to take charge of himself.A good start is half the battle.He firmly believes that Lu Buwei, who is struggling internally and externally and is eager to fight back, will definitely give him a good start.When Li Si entered Lu Buwei's bedroom with his head held high, he was full of beautiful visions for the future.

Lu Buwei was sitting upright, looking in good spirits. He looked at Li Si calmly, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, don't blame me for neglecting you. Buwei has a lot of business these days, and I don't have time to spare. I can't talk to you, and I hate it." Li Si smiled inwardly, but said in his mouth: "The safety of the world, the hope of the country, depends on Xiangguo, and Xiangguo should take care of his health, why bother to do everything by himself." Lu Buwei said: "Mr. Zhengwai will share Buwei's worries." "May I ask Xiangguo what he wants to appoint Li Si?"

Lu Buwei was unhappy.This kid Li Si was never ready to agree, he always asked him to play his cards first and then make a decision.Cunning Chu people.Lu Buwei said: "Mr. Buwei wants to become a man. What do you think of Mr. Unknown?" After speaking, Lu Buwei fixed his eyes on Li Si, greedily watching his expression. When Li Si heard this, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, and he was greatly disappointed. All his coping strategies were useless at the moment, so his frustration was unstoppable, and it was written all over his face.The arrogant Li Si never expected Lu Buwei's insulting arrangement.Only then did Li Si realize that Lu Buwei was not as kind as he thought, and Lu Buwei was very vicious.The reality was so cruel that the worst possibility he had imagined before he came here now sounded like a dream.

To understand Li Si's feelings of humiliation, it is necessary to understand Qin's central government position setting.Among the bureaucrats of the Qin State, the highest level is the Sangong, namely Xiangguo, Yushi Dafu, and Guowei.Next is Jiuqing, namely Fengchang, Zongzheng, Langzhongling, Weiwei, Taipu, Tingwei, Dianke, Zhisu Neishi, and Shaofu.The Sangong and Jiuqing together constitute the highest decision-making level of Qin State.Among them, Lang Zhongling is under the jurisdiction of a powerful department, which is in charge of the discussion, guest praise, reception, palace guards and palace guards in the palace. It is equivalent to the secretariat and security office of King Qin, with high power.Lang is the subordinate of Lang Zhongling. He is in charge of the door and is responsible for charging chariots and riding.There is no fixed establishment for the position of Lang, and there are often as many as a thousand people, and the salary ranges from three hundred to six hundred shi.It can be seen that Lang is really a very humble official position.Lang is generally produced by selection, appointment, and special worship of military merits. It can be said that each of them has a history and background.It is definitely not an easy task to stand out among all these colleagues.
