Chapter 165 Lu Buwei's embarrassing situation in the first quarter

Although the throne can be inherited, the prestige must be established by oneself.Lai Ai gave the head, the queen mother was imprisoned, and Yingzheng declared to the world with his iron fist: He is the supreme king of Qin, and his supreme authority cannot be challenged by anyone in any form.At the same time, with the case of Lai Ai, Li Si also gained the limelight and became a popular political star. Even the Six Kingdoms knew that Qin had recently produced a powerful figure like him. In just two years, Ying Zheng eliminated two powerful dissident forces in the country.First there was Cheng Xi, and then there was Lai Ai.However, his offensive will not stop there.Who's next turn?well known by all people.

Lu Buwei naturally knew that he was the next target.When he first heard the news of Lai Ai's death, he looked up to the sky and smiled, but the smile soon froze on his face.To Lu Buwei's surprise, after losing his old rival, Lao Ai, he felt lonely, lost, and even wanted to cry for no reason.Now, Lai Ai is gone, and he is left alone to face the increasingly powerful Ying Zheng.It was clearly September in early autumn, but Lu Buwei already felt the slightest chill. It has always been a taboo for kings to form cliques among courtiers.The Lai Ai faction collapsed, but the Lu faction is still there.Will Ying Zheng go all out and pursue the victory, eradicating him and his faction?You know, the kid Ying Zheng is not a good stubble.Although he has contributed to Ying Zheng's support, can Ying Zheng really tolerate him forever?He couldn't believe it, and he had to expect the worst.Although Lu Buwei has never heard the story of the fisherman and the goldfish, he also knows that there is always a limit to repaying kindness.Ying Zheng became so ruthless that even his mother Zhao Ji could do it, let alone him, Lu Buwei.

Ying Zheng's strength and self-confidence also made Lu Buwei dare not act rashly.Lao Ai is a bloody lesson.Ying Zheng allowed Lai Ai to strike first, which was tantamount to conceding a move, but in the end he was still able to resolve it easily and calmly.Today, Yingzheng is more powerful and vigorous, and this sincerity cannot compete with him. Besides, at present, Lu Buwei's head can still be attached to his neck, and he should really be lucky.Last time, Fan Yuqi, whom he recommended, rebelled with Cheng Yu. As the recommender, he should sit together according to the law.This time, Lao Ai's rebellion also implicated him.Without him as a matchmaker, Lao Ai would still be an inconspicuous little housekeeper, so how could she have adulterated the Queen Mother and rebelled?He is the chief culprit of Lao Ai's rebellion.

According to the information obtained by Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng had murderous intentions towards him.Fortunately, there were many guests, debaters, and officials lobbying for him in front of Ying Zheng, and his indelible achievements for Ying Zheng and his son, Ying Zheng was merciful.However, Lu Buwei also knew in his heart that because so many people interceded for him, it would inevitably make Ying Zheng more suspicious of him. If you escaped the first day of junior high school, can you escape the fifteenth day?Lu Buwei was not sure.All he could do was abolish his martial arts and use his actions to dispel Ying Zheng's worries about him.Therefore, Lu Buwei acted as the prime minister of the country, regardless of the big and small matters in the court, and stayed behind closed doors all day long.Lu Buwei's tortoise-like behavior naturally aroused the dissatisfaction and resentment of the people in his faction.Lord Changping and Lord Changwen took the opportunity to seize power, and many officials of the Lv faction also took advantage of the wind and went to seek refuge one after another.

Retiring on the battlefield is a science, and retreating in officialdom is also a science.Although Lu Buwei wanted to retire and didn't want to cause trouble, the trouble came to him on his own initiative, and it came from a woman who was destined to be entangled with him for life. This woman is the Queen Mother Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji has been confined in the Fuyang Palace of Yongxian County for half a year.This year was really a year of bad luck for her.She had already been mentally prepared for Lao Ai's death, so she didn't feel much sorrow.You can say that she is heartless, or that she is short-sighted and numb. Anyway, a woman like Zhao Ji has a powerful self-healing function.Soon, she seemed to be fine.Life still has to look forward, she is only forty-three years old, and the days ahead are still very long, she can't let the rest of her life be wasted in this deserted palace.In the past, when she held power, it was others who begged her. Unexpectedly, she would have a day of begging.However, who can help her?

On this day, a letter was delivered to Lu Buwei's desk.Lu Buwei said displeased, how many times have I said, don't bother me with foreign affairs. Sheren bent over and said in a low voice, "It's a letter from the Empress Dowager." Lu Buwei was stunned for a moment, and said, "The Queen Mother? Who is the Queen Mother?"
