Qin.

summer.

King Zhuang Xiang, Qin Yiren, had a recurrence of his dark wounds, and was unable to be rescued by medicine or stone. He died in Zhenshou Palace in Xianyang at the age of 42.

this day.

It was raining lightly.

Outside the Zhenshou Palace, there is a piece of plain onyx, and a famous internal eunuch shuttles between the palaces, delivering funeral reports to the lords of the palaces.

"The will of the king."

"A country cannot be without a king for a day. Now there is a prince who wins the government. He is virtuous and respectful, and he can inherit the great rule."

"Ling, the Empress Dowager Huayang is in charge of the harem, and Empress Zhao Ji assists her."

"Again, Prime Minister Lu Buwei, Deputy Prime Minister Feng Quji, General Wang Lu, General Meng Ao, General Gong Gong, five people assist the government, maintain the court, and assist the new king."

Inside Zhenshou Palace.

Empress Dowager Huayang, Zhao Ji, Lu Buwei and other important officials read out the last king's will.

below.

Ying Zheng, dressed in a black costume, knelt in front of Qin Wangyi's coffin.

Not far away, Zhang Heng narrowed his eyes and stood quietly aside.

"Who is this, why don't you know him?"

Among the ministers.

Some people who didn't know Zhang Heng were talking in low voices.

Hearing such words, someone who had met Zhang Heng replied: "This person is the person behind Heng Guzhai's backstage. It is said that Zhao Xuanji suffered a great loss from him, and he is suspected to be a hidden world immortal."

hiss!
Everyone took a deep breath.

There are countless gods and immortals in the world, they can be called the pillars of the empire, and the gods and dragons see their heads but never their tails.

Everyone present, including Ying Zheng, had never seen Qin's guardian angel.

down.

Earth Immortal is the background and skeleton of each country, and it will not move lightly under normal circumstances.

Only true immortals are the main force active in the world.

Today, King Qin Yi died, yet those guarding earth immortals and guardian priests did not show up.

Zhang Heng came.

It is self-evident what it means to be on the side of Prince Yingzheng.

"I always thought that my husband didn't care about the secular world, but I didn't expect you to come today."

privately.

Lu Buwei, who had a relationship with Zhang Heng once, approached him quietly: "I don't know what method His Royal Highness used to invite the gentleman. If the gentleman is willing, Buwei is willing to give it twice."

Zhang Heng said with a smile: "I heard that Lu Xiang was the number one wealthy businessman in the Wei Kingdom in the past, and now he ranks as the highest in the Qin Dynasty. I think his worth is comparable to that of the Qin royal family, so he must not give up."

Lu Buwei said modestly: "I don't dare to take it, I just occupy one of the heavens, the law, the wealth, the spouse, and the earth."

Everyone has their own destiny.

Lu Buwei started his career with wealth, practiced with wealth, and entered the world with wealth, which can be said to be the wealthiest in the world.

Zhang Heng also heard that he wanted to bribe him, and replied: "When I met Lu Xiang in the past, I thought about what would happen today, so I specially left a pair of couplets, and I plan to give them to you when I have a chance."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Heng said in particular: "Today is very good. I will send someone to deliver the couplet in the evening."

Lu Buwei was a little confused.

I don't know what Zhang Heng means.

But he is a person who can bear his thoughts. Since Zhang Heng said it so carefully, Lu Buwei also became interested in the couplet.

pay homage.

Chuanzhao.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

In the end, the ministers discussed that the coffin should be buried after 49 days, and after the burial, the crown prince Yingzheng would ascend the throne.

night.
Everyone has returned from the palace.

back home.

Zhang Heng called Hou Wu and told him, "Send that couplet to Prime Minister Lu."

"Yes, Master."

Hou Wu took the order and left.

When he arrived at Lu Xiang's mansion, Lu Buwei was discussing with his disciples how to expand his power after the new king ascended the throne.

I heard that Hou Wu came here on behalf of Zhang Heng.

Lu Buwei said with a smile to everyone: "The guarding gods of the Qin Kingdom will not show up unless they destroy the country. Among the remaining five earth immortals, I have recruited one, the Queen Mother Huayang has recruited one, and Feng Quji has recruited one." One, and one who doesn't care about ordinary things, and there is only one who is on Ying Zheng's side."

"Even with the addition of Zhang Zhaizhu, there are only two earth immortals on the left and right. Now that I have reached an alliance with the Queen Mother Huayang and Feng Quji, the government of Qin will be in our hands. Even if Yingzheng is the new king, It's impossible to get power."

All the disciples listened.

They congratulated Lu Buwei one after another, and said: "The new king is young and scheming, how can the government be separated from the prime minister."

Among the congratulatory voices, only one person remained silent.

Lu Buwei was high-spirited, and didn't pay attention to this person, and continued to talk to his left and right: "Everyone, wait a moment and see what gift that Zhaizhu has for me."

After finishing speaking, he continued: "I, Lu Buwei, is rich in the world. I, Lu Buwei, can win over anyone Yingzheng can win. I just thought highly of him before, but when I look back, no matter what price Yingzheng offers, I will pay twice. I don't believe he won't agree with him We stand together."

The words fall.

Soon.

Hou Wu appeared in the hall with a gift box.

Hou Wu also heard before that Lu Buwei had three thousand followers and one hundred thousand supporters.

See you today.

There are hundreds of people sitting in the hall, all of them are well-dressed, obviously they are not unknown people, at worst they must be the number one seeds in some small and medium immortal sects.

"Hou Wu, I have met Lu Xiang."

Hou Wu straightened his clothes and saluted Lu Buwei: "In the name of my master, I am sending a pair of couplets to Lu Xiang."

Lu Buwei waved his hand: "Open it, let everyone see."

Hou Wu didn't hesitate either.

Called four attendants, opened the gift box, and took out a pair of couplets from inside.

hiss!
Couplets and a hang.

When everyone saw it, their hearts skipped a beat.

into the eye.

The couplet on the left reads: "What a majestic city, who is the host and who is the guest."

The couplet on the right reads: "There are only three thatched cottages, half suitable for the bright moon and half suitable for the wind."

Just for a moment.

Lu Buwei's expression changed several times.

First he was astonished, then angry, and for a while he couldn't even care about his appearance: "Zhang Heng, you are too deceitful!"

Hou Wu withdrew silently.

After Hou Wu left, Lu Buwei took a few deep breaths and ordered to the diners: "Burn this couplet."

After finishing speaking, I still don't understand my hatred.

He also said: "When I lead the government, apply Confucianism, develop famous laws, recreate the universe, and sweep the world, I will be able to match the world's luck and achieve the position of Earth Immortal. Then I will meet him."

in the crowd.

A group of disciples agreed one after another, comparing Lu Buwei to the person who can lead Qin to the future.

But they didn't notice that the doorman who was silent at the beginning was quietly retreating outside after a long silence.

"Li Si, where are you going?"

Seeing Li Si walking towards the garden, some acquaintances came to stop him: "The prime minister was appointed as the head of the auxiliary ministers, why are you unhappy?"

Li Si sighed and said: "One day the emperor and one courtier, now the prime minister is very beautiful, and he is in charge of government affairs. It seems that the scenery is infinite, but in my eyes, this is the scene of the next life."

The companion didn't believe it, and retorted: "The prime minister has reached an alliance with the queen mother and the left prime minister, and Ying Zheng's biological mother, Zhao Ji, is the prime minister's former lover. How could Ying Zheng's Huangkou child be the prime minister?" opponent."

Li Si sighed again: "The new king is young, but he will grow up one day. The prime minister seems to be powerful, but throughout the ages, there are few political alliances that can last long."

"What's more, Bai, Wang, Meng, and Jiangmen have always been the guardians of the royal family."

"Once there is a slight mistake in the alliance between the prime minister, the queen mother, and the deputy prime minister, what awaits the prime minister will be a thunderbolt."

Speaking of which.

Li Si looked back at the lively living room: "What a dangerous city, who is the master and who is the guest?"

The words fall.

Li Si cupped his hands and said to his companion: "I'm leaving. If you believe me, you can leave with me. The Prime Minister's Mansion has become a vortex. The Prime Minister is in the middle of the game. With a blind eye, he can no longer see that his own death is coming."

The companion listened.

Some hesitated.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Li Si, but that he is really reluctant to part with his current wealth.

Perhaps the same is true of the prime minister.

He probably also sensed the possibility Li Si said, which is why he was so furious.

It's a pity that the arrow is on the string and has to be fired.

Lu Xiang is also Confucianism and Mohism, and he is named Fa.

His way is in the court, if he takes this step back, he may be hopeless for the rest of his life.

"You go."

"I worked as a cow and a horse by the prime minister's side, and finally gained the prime minister's trust."

"Right now is the time when I'm in the wind and water. I'm really reluctant to go away with you and start from scratch elsewhere."

The companion looked confused.

Li Si didn't hesitate after hearing the sound, he shook his head and said, "Lao Ai, sooner or later you will die of greed."

He watched Li Si's back.

Lao Ai also shook her head: "Who in this world can't be greedy? Li Si, you are a hundred times smarter than me, but can you guarantee that you will never be greedy?"
