one person is right

Chapter 825 Long time, Qin master will become

"Your Majesty, this is the document searched from the Prime Minister's Mansion...from Lu Buwei's Mansion, which records many evidences of his dealings with people and committing treason over the years!"

In the empty hall, Qin Wangzheng sat on the dragon chair and listened to the reports of the officials in front of him. He was silent for a long time before asking: "What happened to others?"

Several people under the steps looked at each other, and one of them came up and said: "He... because he was afraid of the majesty of the king, he committed suicide by drinking poison."

"Dead." Qin Wangzheng nodded, his expression didn't change, but his eyes became deeper and deeper.

Seeing this scene, several courtiers felt an unspeakable pressure, as if even the thoughts in their hearts seemed to be much sluggish, they couldn't help lowering their heads, not daring to say more.

Since the lord of the country took power, his momentum has been growing day by day. Not only is he powerful on the battlefield, he has a faint tendency to annex the north. Prime Minister Lu Buwei paid for a glass of poisoned wine.

Up to now, the military and political power have all belonged to their own hands, and they are not angry.

The hall fell into an eerie silence for an instant.

at this time.

"Among the records he left behind, is there anything worth noting?"

Immediately, someone came up with a stack of bamboo slips, and a minister beside him introduced, "Your Majesty, this is the catalogue, which we sorted out overnight."

Qin Wangzheng still nodded, and took advantage of the opportunity to turn over the bamboo slips, looked at them silently, and did not speak.

Although the bamboo slips are a table of contents, they are actually more similar to an outline. The things listed in it, big and small, are all briefly introduced. Each of these items is not a problem, but it is a common practice of the nobles today. However, these things are put together, and combined with the recent turmoil, it is inevitable to make people think about it.

After all, the matter of the Tian family replacing Qi is not far away.

But in the same way, since Lu Buwei assisted the former king to ascend the throne and won the position of Xiangguo, his tentacles of power have spread to all aspects of Qin. The people he has implicated are unknown in Qin. After getting down, I couldn't even run away, so I didn't dare to say much at this time, I could only wait quietly, the pressure in my heart became more and more intense.

Qin Wangzheng flipped through the pages, stopped suddenly, raised his head and asked, "Why did Lu Buwei suddenly send people to Kongtong to look for fairy traces a few years ago?"

"This……"

Several ministers looked at me and I looked at you, and finally shook their heads and smiled wryly, saying they didn't know.

King Qin ignored it, but continued to ask: "Most of Lu Buwei's previous actions were military and political affairs. Apart from seizing power, he was collecting money and gathering party members. You have never been involved with the Yin-Yang family or alchemists, so why did you suddenly send people to Kongtong for inquiries?"

The faces of several ministers changed slightly, and one of them bit the bullet and said: "It's been a few years, and I'm afraid it will be hard to find the person involved, but if we search carefully, we can still find some signs. Please give me a few days. "

"It's okay, you go and investigate." Qin Wangzheng waved his hand, although his words seemed approachable, but his tone was unquestionable, and then continued to look at the bamboo slips in his hand. After a few breaths, he raised his head and looked at the last of the officials One person said: "Li Qing, I remember that when you came to the west, you stayed in Chenggao for more than a year."

Li Si, who was at the bottom of the steps, immediately took a step forward and said respectfully, "Report to the king, that's exactly the case." He was thinking in his heart why the King of Qin asked about this at this time.

To be honest, Li Si was quite nervous at the moment. After all, when he came to Qin, he first joined Lu Buwei's sect and got promoted, so that he could have the opportunity to seize the opportunity and get into the eyes of the King of Qin.Now that Lu Buwei suddenly fell from power, as a related person, he had already made up his mind to keep a low profile for a few years, so after being recruited by the King of Qin along with others, he kept silent and did not say a word.

Now that he was suddenly named, he was a little panicked.

"You don't need to worry too much. Since the widow has called you to discuss, it will not harm the dukes. The dukes are the pillars of Qin, and I will rely on many parties in the future." Qin Wangzheng said lightly, looking at Li Si, " Li Qing, I ask you because it is recorded in the directory that Lu Buwei sent people to Na Chenggao twelve times to invite Chen Chenggao to come out to assist him. The most recent time was three months ago, but they were all rejected. Ask you about this person."

As he was talking, he changed the subject: "About Chen Chenggao, I have heard a lot about him. I heard that he is also a master of learning. His disciples are all over the world, but his so-called rise and fall theory, I don't know much about it. I like it, so I didn't extend the invitation. But now, Lu Buwei's perseverance has made me a little interested, and I intend to invite him to come over to serve as a school, what do you think?"

"This..." Li Si hesitated for a moment before he said: "Don't dare to lie to the king. The purpose of my minister's coming here is to go to the king. The reason why I lingered in Chenggao for a year is because I saw Mr. Chen's knowledge and stayed here to learn. So it pays off.”

"In this way, he is not in vain." Qin Wangzheng said, looking at Li Si, "but judging from Li Qing's expression, do you think no one can invite him?"

His gaze was as usual, but when his gaze fell on Li Si, the latter was dripping with cold sweat. Wherever he dared to say no, he responded almost instinctively: "I would like to go and persuade him personally."

"Very well, Li Qing is taking care of you." After Qin Wangzheng said this, he looked down at the bamboo slips in his hand again.

He looked at it all the way into the evening, and never raised his head to ask again. After finishing the last volume, Qin Wangzheng raised his head and said lightly: "It's getting late, Zhu Qing, go back first, and wait for the widow to register this list." See it through, and then find the princes to solve the confusion."

Everyone had their own thoughts, and they didn't dare to answer, so they retreated one after another.

As soon as the people left, Qin Wang pondered for a moment, and said to the eunuch Zhao Gao beside him: "Go and find that alchemist for the widow."

Zhao Gao thought cleverly, understood immediately, and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to see Xu Fu?" Seeing King Qin nodding, he quickly left.

Not long after, a tall, handsome man walked into the hall with him.

This man was the alchemist Xu Fu, with his brows drawn into his temples, his long beard hanging down his chest, and his spirit of immortality. When he saw the King of Qin, he bowed his hands and asked, "Your Majesty told me that I came here. What is the matter?"

"You once told me before that there are two opportunities for longevity in the world. One is in Kongtong and the other is in Chenggao. What is the reason?"

Xu Fu didn't ask the cause and effect, but just smiled and said: "Your Majesty finally believes me." Then he responded seriously, "The fate of immortality is never mysterious, and the secret is unspeakable. Of course, Your Majesty asks me, but I can't say it outright."

Qin Wangzheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party coldly. After a while, seeing Xu Fu remained unmoved, he said, "Then Chenggao's chance of immortality lies in Chen Shi?"

"Of course!"
