Chapter 180 The second storm is about to sweep

A few days after Lu Buwei bid farewell to Zhao Ji, General Huan Jue went to Xianyang to report on his duties, and the army was stationed outside Xianyang City.Huan Jue was an effective subordinate of the former general Meng Ao. Because of Meng Ao's relationship, Huan Jue and Lu Buwei had very close contacts at one time.Huan Yu came to Xianyang this time, but he did not visit Lu Buwei at the Xiangguo Mansion as usual, and chose to take a detour when passing through the Xiangguo Mansion.There was a man named Sikong Ma in Lu's house who scolded Huanju for forgetting his origin and being rude.Lu Buwei didn't take it seriously, but ordered to pack up.Sikongma asked why, and Lu Buwei said: "Huanju, a benevolent gentleman, will not deceive me. The king wanted to send me to the country, so he ordered Huanju to lead the army to see me, fearing that I would make trouble. If Huanju doesn't come to my door, It is also the righteousness to put the public first and then the private.”

In October, Yingzheng really issued an edict, saying that Lu Buwei's involvement in the case of Lao Ai's rebellion should be punished according to the law. Considering that he is old and has a good reputation, he will be dismissed from the post of Prime Minister and sent out of the capital Xianyang to live in his own country in Henan. , starting today without delay. Dusk is always the most noisy time in Xianyang.However, due to the martial law throughout the city, shops were not allowed to open, people were not allowed to go out, and the whole city suddenly seemed empty.The city gate was wide open, and a large convoy was moving out of the city in an orderly manner.Although Lu Buwei started to prepare for the move half a month in advance, he has been operating in Xianyang for many years and his family has a big business. The half-month preparation time still seems rushed. There are too many items that are too late to pack and can only be discarded. Regardless, otherwise, the size of the team would more than double.

Lu Buwei came out of the city, turned his head and looked at Xianyang behind him, with some reluctance and sadness in his eyes.Xianyang, the majestic and magnificent capital of the Qin State, was coated with a layer of golden light by the setting sun, silently responding to the gaze of its former owner.On the top of the city, Lu Buwei saw Ying Zheng and all the officials.What made Lu Buwei sad was that he didn't see Zhao Ji.She didn't come to see him off, to see him for the last time, even if she just hid in the crowd. Ying Zheng looked down at the huge and lengthy convoy and remained silent.Lu Buwei finally left, but Ying Zheng was not happy. On the contrary, the worry on his face became more and more serious.All the officials accompanied Ying Zheng, and each had their own thoughts. They had to face and get used to the fact that the former ruler of this great capital was gone and would not return.Qin's political arena will enter the post-Lu Buwei era from now on.

Ying Zheng suddenly said a word: "Listen!" So all the officials listened attentively.Ying Zheng said again: "Did you hear that?" Lord Changping, Lord Changwen, Wang Wan and others looked at each other blankly, not knowing how to answer.They listened hard, but heard nothing but the quiet of the approaching night, the sound of nothing special.Only Li Si said, "I heard it." Ying Zheng looked at Li Si with admiration in his eyes, and said, "What did you hear?" Li Sidao: "I didn't hear anything." Ying Zheng nodded and said, "The guest knows me."

Ying Zheng and Li Si's answer made all the officials into a cloud of mist, wondering what riddle they were trying to guess.Fortunately, Ying Zheng quickly gave the answers to the officials.Ying Zheng pointed to the convoy under the city, and sighed: "Lu Buwei is really Lu Buwei, far beyond what Lai Ai can compare to. Lai Ai's rearing is also a diner. Lu Buwei's rearing is also a dead man." Only then did the officials realize why Yingzheng was so worried instead of happy.Just imagine, Lu Buwei's thousands of guests and family children formed a huge team of thousands of rides and riders. It took half an hour to get out of the city, and from the beginning to the end, they were able to keep silent. What does this mean? ?This shows that Lu Buwei's guests and family boys are by no means a mob, but have strict organization and discipline.

Lai Ai may be better than Lu Buwei in seducing women to dedicate themselves; Lai Ai is far from Lu Buwei's opponent in seducing men to dedicate themselves.I think back in those days, Lai Ai followed Lu Buwei's example and raised thousands of guests and family children, but when they really rebelled, they mostly scattered like birds and beasts, just a bunch of snobs.But Lu Buwei is different, the thousands of guests and family children he has raised have followed him for many years, even if Lu Buwei loses power now, they will continue to follow him steadfastly and never leave him.For Lu Buwei, they spared their lives.Such a strong cohesive team is a force that will never be easily disintegrated. If it rebels, it must be much more terrifying and difficult to deal with than Lao Ai's time.

Thousands of guests and children marched forward tragically and quietly. The sun had already set, and the whole team appeared in black silhouettes on the horizon. Looking from a distance, they looked like a group of silent ghosts, depressing and frightening. This was also the last time Li Si saw Lu Buwei.When the rabbit dies, the fox is sad, and things hurt its kind.Li Si and Lu Buwei have too many similarities.They all come from the bottom of the society, relying on their own struggles, and finally gained a prominent position; they are all foreigners, and are always regarded as aliens by the Qin people. true recognition.The more successful they are, the more they will be disgusted and rejected by Qin people, especially the clan.

For a long time, although Lu Buwei could not be regarded as Li Si's backer, he could be regarded as Li Si's screen, blocking countless open and hidden arrows for Li Si.Seeing Lu Buwei, a once-powerful politician, leave the stage so sadly, Li Si couldn't help but feel sad.He shrugged his shoulders, as if feeling a desolate chill. Seeing off Lu Buwei, in the returning carriage, Li Si looked worried and said nothing.Now, Lu Buwei has lost power and has left Henan.Whether he likes it or not, he has already become a representative figure among outsiders, and he is destined to become the latest target of the clan.

However, what Li Si did not expect was that Li Si was not the only one that the clan would attack.In Xianyang in late autumn, an unprecedented political storm is quietly brewing.This storm swept across the entire state of Qin, not only completely changing the fate of Li Si, but also completely changing the fate of the world...
