Chapter 45 The fourth section is about becoming an official

In a word, Lu Buwei just asked Li Si to work under Cai Ze as an undercover agent.A few years ago, when Lu Buwei was in charge of the government alone, the Lang Zhongling Cai Ze led an independent yamen.Covering the sky with one hand is not secure after all, and there are fingers.Cai Ze has a strong and jealous personality, and has always obeyed Lu Buwei's orders, and never bought Lu Buwei's account.He is mentally unbalanced.I think you were just a lowly businessman in Handan when I was the prime minister of Qin.Now crawling on my head to defecate and pee, I can't beat you, I can bear it, but I will make you mess with me from time to time, it's good to have a dry addiction.Bureaucrats who have lost power are like abandoned wives. Usually, their eyes are red and red, not because they cry too much, but because jealousy is crackling in their pupils.

In fact, although Lang Zhongling is far less noble than Xiangguo, he still holds real power. Cai Ze has more chances to meet the King of Qin than the other Eight Ministers.Since Lang Zhongling is responsible for the security of the King of Qin, he is usually held by a person whom the King of Qin trusts very much, and generally will not be replaced easily.Lu Buwei could shuffle the other Baqings like mahjong tiles, but he didn't dare to move Cai Ze.Once he removes Cai Ze and replaces him with his confidant, it is undoubtedly equivalent to telling the whole world: the life of King Qin is in the hands of my Lu, and I can kill or chop if I want.If this is the case, then Lu Buwei is sitting on top of the furnace, and the whole world thinks that he must have different ambitions in his heart.It is said that with a sharp weapon in his body, he is willing to kill himself, even if he has three thousand tongues, he will never be able to argue his innocence.Lu Buwei had no intention of rebelling. He knew very well that seizing power is by no means the more the better, but enough is enough.Therefore, Cai Ze, this smelly and hard stone, can still stay safely in the latrine, even though it is a bit in the way.

Cai Ze was born as a nouveau riche when he jumped from a commoner in Yan to become the prime minister of Qin. However, he had a strong hostility towards other nouveau riche and looked down upon them very much.Lu Buwei tried to win him over, but failed, but was ridiculed by him.Recently, when Lai Ai rose strongly in the political arena of Qin State, she also tried to win over Cai Ze. When Cai Ze refused him, he not only laughed at him, but also insulted him.The newer and bigger banknotes are more attractive.The newer and bigger the nouveau riche, the more hated they are. It is conceivable that Li Si, as a member of Lu Buwei, will be in an official position under Cai Ze, what a miserable situation he will be in.Cai Ze will definitely guard against him like a thief.Cai Ze dared to mess with Lu Buwei, but for a little Li Si, he should not be trampled and beaten into a scumbag, so he could teach Lu Buwei a lesson: don't send people here, you Lu Buwei said to me doesn't count.

After Li Si scolded his mother, he slowly calmed down and began to look at the positive side of the incident.The Xiangguo Mansion is not a place to stay for a long time. Now that I go to the palace, although it is only a Langguan, I am an official and have a status.After all, I have taken the first step and successfully entered the officialdom, and I don't need to sell my appearance, and I don't need to spend money to buy Taoism. I still have five hundred gold in my purse for activities.As long as you can enter the circle of officials and get a license to be an official, everything is easy to discuss.Confucius said: "If you are rich, you can ask for it. Even if you are a man with a whip, I will do it." The official's duty is to hold the whip and drive the chariot.Could it be that there is God's will in the dark?
