Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism
Chapter 40
The next day, news spread throughout Xianyang that a large number of assassins had assassinated Lu Buwei yesterday night.
Now that Chang'an Lord is in Xianyang, it is impossible to hold a court meeting. Although ordinary officials are itchy, they can't find a way to get the news for the time being.
As for the senior officials, they all made a gesture of wanting to meet him, hoping that Mr. Chang'an could hold a small meeting and at least tell them what happened yesterday.
But something strange happened. Lord Changan refused the meeting and summoned Lu Buwei alone.
The officials had no choice but to suppress their thoughts and wait for the results.
In the Xingle Palace, Ying Wei sat on the soft couch at the top, staring expressionlessly at Lu Buwei who was below, holding his hands up for instructions.
Lu Buwei was in a very bad mental state at this time and seemed to have not slept all night.
Ying Wei waited until Lu Buwei had finished the ceremony, and then slowly said:"Last night, someone was so bold that he assassinated someone, which alarmed Lu Xiangbang."
"Look at Xiangbang's appearance, but he didn't rest all night? As Xiangbang is getting older, he still needs to take care of his health. The State of Qin still needs Xiangbang's service."
Although Ying Wei seems to be worried about Lu Buwei's physical condition, it sounds to Lu Buwei that Lord Chang'an is simply being arrogant.
Why do you think the Qin State needs you when you are old? When Lord Chang'an said this, Lu Buwei didn't believe it at all.
Lu Buwei Gonggong He surrendered his hand. He had made a good psychological preparation yesterday. Although he was still unwilling to accept the result, he could only accept the result.
Lu Buwei said in a deep voice:"Thank you, Mr. Chang'an, for your concern.""
"The assassination last night shocked me. Today I just feel exhausted and feel that my body is getting worse."
"As people get older, they always think about the past. Now my energy is getting weaker and weaker, and I can no longer shoulder the important responsibilities of Prime Minister."
"The responsibilities of the Prime Minister are too heavy, and even the slightest negligence will cause great harm to the Qin State. Therefore, I would like to ask the Lord of Chang'an to allow me to retire and return to my hometown!"
Ying Wei had already guessed the purpose of Lu Buwei's visit.
But when he heard that Lu Buwei had given up completely and was preparing to give up his position as prime minister and go back to the fiefdom to take care of his old age, Ying Wei was also deeply saddened.
Lu Buwei's era has completely passed, and Lu Buwei will be in the future. , I'm afraid it can only be seen in history books.
With Lu Buwei's achievements, even if Brother Zheng intends to revise history, he will never be able to erase the traces of his existence.
Ying Wei pretended to be concerned and said:"Lu Xiangbang has been in office for more than ten years, and he has been diligent and diligent. , worked diligently, and under the leadership of Xiangbang, Qin’s national power became increasingly powerful"
"Xiangbang even conquered Zhao, Wei and other countries, expanded the territory of Qin, and made great contributions to Qin. Qin cannot live without Lu Xiangbang!"
Ying Wei spoke sincerely, with an excited attitude hoping that Lu Buwei would not resign and return to his hometown.
If Lu Buwei didn't know Ying Wei very well, he might have believed his lies.
Lu Buwei knew that this was just a process, and everything Chang'an Jun said It was a lie, so he said firmly:
"Lord Chang'an's words make me feel guilty, but I am indeed becoming increasingly unwell. I hope Lord Chang'an will allow me to enjoy family happiness for a few years."
There was something in Lu Buwei's words, a plea, hoping that Ying Wei could let him go.
Ying Wei heard the deep meaning of Lu Buwei's words, but he pretended not to understand.
Let Lu Buwei go? That's impossible.
He knew clearly. When dealing with political opponents, you must kill them all and never give them a chance, otherwise you will be appeasing and supporting traitors.
Not to mention that Lu Buwei assassinated him twice and almost made him die.
Just say that if Lu Buwei still has a chance to make a comeback, he will let it go Is there a chance?
Absolutely not!
If Lu Buwei still has a way to get rid of him, the Lord of Chang'an, and let himself have power again, Lu Buwei will definitely do it without hesitation.
Politicians are all actors, if I believe his old-fashioned attitude That's an act of seeking death.
Ying Wei did not give Lu Buwei any guarantee, but regretted:"Since Lu Xiangbang's words are sincere, if I don't agree, it will be too ruthless."
"But this matter is of great importance, and I can't make a decision. I need to wait for Brother Wang to come back before making a decision."
"During this period of time, Xiangbang should still live in Xiangbang's mansion and take good care of his health."
Although if Brother Zheng knew that Lu Buwei resigned from the position of prime minister, he would agree with it.
But there are some things that Ying Wei knows very well that he cannot go over. This is Ying Zheng's right. When he saw Ying Wei, he never mentioned anything about taking care of himself. , Lu Buwei felt regretful, but he still bowed his hand and slowly retreated.
Lu Buwei was afraid of death, but he was not afraid of death either.
He is now older and has enjoyed a lifetime of glory and wealth. Even if he dies at this age, he can accept it.
But if you can avoid death, who is willing to die?
When Lu Buwei left, Ying Wei also thought quietly.
Lu Buwei's matter can be brought to an end for the time being, and Lord Changping actually sent a request to visit him. It seems that Changping Jun sensed that Lu Buwei was about to retire, and wanted to compete for the position of Prime Minister. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Hehe, they are all a bunch of old foxes. If you are careless in front of them, you will be eaten up and wiped clean."
Ying Wei sneered.
As for Lord Changping's desire to compete for the position of prime minister, Ying Wei thought about it and decided to support him.
The main reason is that in the Qin Dynasty today, unless he serves as the prime minister, there is really no one more powerful than Lord Changping. Appropriate.
Lord Changping represents the Chu faction. After Lu Buwei left the position of prime minister, he was regarded as the largest faction in the court.
Although emperors of various dynasties were angry and formed factions for personal gain, in fact, small groups are bound to fight for various interests. The reason appears.
It's just that the power lies with the capable emperor, who doesn't care about forming cliques for personal gain, because the emperor is fully capable of controlling it.
Those who are really afraid of forming cliques for personal gain are those emperors who are incompetent and can easily be robbed of power by their ministers.
Obviously, Ying Zheng is A capable king is very likely to choose Changping Jun as his prime minister. In this way, all the forces in the Qin court can be twisted into one rope.
For the current Qin State, internal competition is not important. The most important thing is to fix the outside first and make the cake bigger before dividing it.
"Moreover, Lord Changping betrayed the empire in the official history, but he has not betrayed yet. This reason cannot be used."
"In this case, it’s better for me to add fuel to the fire and help him become prime minister, so that he can think that I have a good relationship with him and thus be grateful to me."
"When the critical moment comes, I stab him in the back."
After being in the court for a long time, Ying Wei knew that he had to think like a politician, otherwise he would be the one who would be unlucky.
After making the decision, Ying Wei also had the next target direction.
No matter it was Lu Buwei is still Lord Changping, and all those who stand in his way must be cleared away.
Ying Wei is still thinking about the throne under Brother Zheng’s butt.
