Chapter 139 Lu Buwei in the trough of the second quarter

The universe follows the law of energy conservation, and the officialdom also follows the law of power conservation.The river is flowing, and the blackbird must be flying.As someone's power increases, someone's power must be reduced.Therefore, the great increase in the power of Lao Ai and others means that Lu Buwei's power has been greatly reduced.The appointment of Lord Changping and Lord Changwen at the same time was a blatant invasion of Lu Buwei's traditional territory.However, although Lu Buwei's power was brutally robbed, he could not resist.This robbery was aboveboard and reasonable.There are two reasons: one is the redemption of his original sin.Yingzheng deprived him of his power in order to tell the world that Lu Buwei was not his biological father, because according to common sense, a son would not embarrass Lao Tzu if his flesh and blood were close relatives.In order to avoid suspicion, Lu Buwei naturally could not publicly protest this.The second is because of Fan Yuqi.Fan Yuqi became a lieutenant because of Lu Buwei's recommendation.The law of the Qin State has always been harsh. Fan Yuqi rebelled, and Lu Buwei, as the recommender, did not destroy the three clans, but only sacrificed part of his power.

Lu Buwei could tolerate a moment of frustration, but the people below him exploded.The housekeepers and houseboys under his family all pointed to him for food and support for their families, and the court officials who defected to him all relied on him to get promoted and get rich.As the spokesperson of a huge interest group, Lu Buwei's failure will endanger the entire interest group.For a while, the crowd below were furious and jumped out one after another, demanding an explanation from the imperial court.Facing these "little loyal, big loyal thief" subordinates, Lu Buwei could only suppress his anger and comfort him with kind words: there will be milk, and there will be bread.

After personnel and power adjustments, the balance of power between Lu Buwei and Lao Ai was finally broken for many years, and Lu Buwei began to lose the wind.Lu Buwei knew in his heart that he lost because he didn't get the support of the Queen Mother Zhao Ji.Once, Zhao Ji loved him so much, in order to support him, she could sell her body to another person.Now, Zhao Ji has completely transferred this love to Lao Ai, not even leaving scum to Lu Buwei. Zhao Ji has long since changed her mind, and when her heart changes, her love and hatred will change.Back then, Mi Zixia favored Jun Wei.The law of defending the country: Those who steal the king's car will be cut off.Mi Zixia's mother fell ill, and Mi Zixia drove the king's car out to visit his mother.Wei Jun heard about it and was wise, and said: "Teach me! For the mother's sake, I will die for the crime of cutting it." On the other day, Mi Zixia and Wei Jun were swimming around the fruit, eating peaches and sweets, endless, and half-eating the king. .The gentleman said: "Love me! Lost his taste to eat the widow." Later, Mizi's flaws and beauty faded and he offended the emperor. The emperor said: "It is true that you tried to drive my car, and you tasted my remaining peaches." For the same behavior, the evaluation before and after is completely opposite, which is chilling.Without it, it is because of a change of heart.For the same reason Hamlet loathes Ulic, the dead bone in the tomb.There is a dialogue in the later movie "A Chinese Journey to the West" as follows: When I used to watch the moon with others, I called her Xiao Tiantian, but now the newcomer is better than the old one, and I call her Mrs. Niu.Although the language is blunt and blunt, it is also sad, and one who has experienced the vicissitudes of love and hatred cannot say this.

Love, like power, the longer it is lost, the less likely it will be restored.Lu Buwei no longer has any hope of winning back Zhao Ji's person and even her heart.But Lu Buwei became more and more jealous and despised for Lao Ai, who was a soft eater.He looked at Lao Ai's arrogance and domineering with cold eyes, and cursed viciously in his heart: Bitch, Lai Ai, if I tell you to brag, one day I will blow you up. During this period of the most difficult time in his life, there was finally a happy event, which was worthy of great congratulations, and Lu Buwei's mood improved a lot because of it.This happy event is: "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" has finally been compiled.

After the completion of the book, "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" is divided into eight readings (youshi, filial piety, shenda, first knowledge, trial points, trial response, separation from customs, Shijun), six theories (opening spring, prudent behavior, noble straightness, and meticulousness). , Yishun, Shirong), Twelve Ji (Mengchun, Zhongchun, Jichun, Mengxia, Zhongxia, Jixia, Mengqiu, Zhongqiu, Jiqiu, Mengdong, Zhongdong, Jidong), a total of 26 volumes, with more than 200,000 characters.It can be described as a brilliant masterpiece, rare in ancient times.
