Chapter 85 Section 5 Fish Bite the Hook

The name of the article is written, and the official should retire from old age and sickness.Moreover, as soon as the news spread that Cai Ze had asked to resign from his position as Lang Zhongling because of his old age and illness, the political arena of Qin State suddenly became lively.The news came out during the court meeting.Cai Ze was ill, and it was said that he was seriously ill, and he was only half a breath away from death, so naturally he couldn't be there in person.Yingzheng passed the resignation application written by Cai Ze himself to all the officials, and then said: "Mr. Gang Cheng has worked so hard and made great achievements. I am sick from overwork. I really feel sorry for him. I wanted to order a doctor in order to wait for Mr. Gang Cheng to recover from his illness. However, Mr. Gang Cheng's illness has fallen into the abyss, and there are fears of accidents. The Lang Zhongling is in Jiuqing, and he has great power and great affairs. He is indispensable for a long time. Those who are meritorious will be rewarded, and those who are capable will be high officials. Hope You don’t avoid relatives when recommending virtuous persons, you don’t avoid enemies when recommending people, and you plan well for the widow.”

There is no sound outside the string, and the listener can hear it by himself.What Ying Zheng said was high-sounding, but the listeners tasted it differently.Isn't this a blatant encouragement to run for an official?Well, the King of Qin has said so, and we can't let him down.Lang Zhongling, that is the Qing Zhongqing, such a high-ranking official, you can't miss it when you pass by.Once you miss it, you will regret it all your life.Therefore, after the court meeting was over, there was a small meeting after the general meeting. At the gates of the mansions of Lao Ai and Lu Buwei, there were signs like this: The meeting is in progress, please do not disturb.

Both Lao Ai and Lu Buwei have thousands of servants, plus the officials, big and small, who defected to them in the court, are now like crows, staring at Lang Zhongling's piece of fat.They also knew that in order to be appointed by King Qin, they first had to obtain the approval and recommendation of their master.Therefore, in front of Lai Ai and Lu Buwei, those who recommended themselves, those recommended by others, those who cried, laughed, treated guests, gave gifts, sang, scolded, married, and told stories, were spectacular, and so on.Among them, there are various poses and different expressions, and there is no time to list them in detail.

As mentioned earlier, once upon a time, Lu Buwei had scruples about controlling the position of Lang Zhongling.However, the situation has changed now. First, Lai Ai seized power too fiercely, which put huge pressure on Lu Buwei. He must strengthen his own strength, lest in the contest with Lai Ai, he would only be able to parry but not have the power to fight back.The second is that this time Yingzheng took the initiative to open his mouth and publicly solicited candidates for the doctor. In this way, recommending his cronies can also be said to be following orders, loyal to the emperor and serving the country. The process is reasonable and the procedure is legal. Forgive others. Objection.As for Lao Ai, relying on the empress dowager's backing, she has no taboos. All the vegetables are drawn into the basket, and all the officials are held in her hands.

There is only one Lang Zhongling, but there are many people who want to win it, which also caused headaches for Lao Ai and Lu Buwei.Perhaps, there is no choice but to come to a super male competition, first the audition, then the top 50, the top 20, the top ten, the top three, and so on step by step. After the court discussion again, as Li Si expected, the two factions of Lai and Lu, after internal coordination and selection, both pushed out their own candidates, belittling each other and refusing to give in.Ying Zheng was secretly happy, but he pretended to be sullen, and ordered to dismiss the reconsideration.

The court meeting was over, and Ying Zheng summoned Li Si alone.Li Si knew that it was time for Ying Zheng to introduce a candidate who was loyal to him.Sure enough, Yingzheng asked: "Mr. has worked with Wang Wan, and I want to make him the doctor's order. What do you think?" Li Si and Wang Wan had a very good personal relationship, and if Wang Wan became Lang Zhongling, it would only benefit him and not harm him.He knew that Ying Zheng was only asking a symbolic question, but he had already made up his mind, so he picked a small problem without pain and said, "Is Wang Wan too young?"

Ying Zheng laughed and said, "No way. Mister is thirty-seven years old as a guest official, and Wang Wan is about the same age as Mister. Why can't he be a doctor's order? It's not that I don't know that Mr. Gang Cheng's barren political affairs are all supported by Wang Wan's back. Although Wan does not have the name of Lang Zhongling, what he has done is already the work of Lang Zhongling. The widow simply fulfills him, and Ling really deserves his name." Li Si was startled.Wang Wan acted as the doctor's order for Cai Ze. Ying Zheng had known about it for a long time.
