Chapter 667: When did you have the illusion that I was a conservative? Master, disciple and monarch!
The candidates were already frustrated by being searched.
Under the leadership of Liu Ji, the entrance of Daqin Military Academy suddenly turned into a sea of spit, and the atmosphere was heated.
But the atmosphere in the Imperial Study Room of Da Qin was extremely strange.
Ying Zheng sat behind the desk and carefully reviewed the memorial.
Opposite Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei held a volume of "Loyalty and Filial Piety" written by Han Fei and read it with gusto.
Ying Zheng didn’t speak, and neither did Lu Buwei.
Two people who were close to each other and spent the most time together when Ying Zheng was young are clearly in the same room now, but they seem to be separated by a river of death, and they don't know each other's existence!
"Brother!"
The door of the imperial study was pushed open, and the cold air from the outside blew the flames of the charcoal pot in the imperial study, disrupting the strange atmosphere.
Ying Chengyu stepped inside against the cold wind and said with a surprised look on his face: "Is Marquis Wenxin here too?"
"I have seen Marquis Wenxin and I have paid my respects to the king!"
Ying Zheng finally put down the memorial in his hand, raised his head and asked, "Has everything been handled?"
Ying Cheng nodded and said, "Everything has been handled."
"Qu Bi and other suspected fraudsters have all been counted. Arrested.”
"The strategy you and I decided to strike down the grass and scare the snake is indeed effective."
"Taipu Mi and others have not been idle these past two days, and they have taken many actions."
"Pi Houyan , Wang Zuoxiang, and Li Tingwei's people are all watching them closely, trying to seize every flaw they reveal!"
The relatives of the Chu family are old experts in political affairs in Da Qin.
Mi Li and others made a very complete and secret plan to deal with the imperial examiners. Even Ying Zheng could not find any evidence and could only make judgments and guesses based on the situation.
That's why Ying Chengyu did not launch the arrest on the same day the fraud was revealed, but gave him two days.
During the past two days, Mi Li could still sit still, but the family members of Qu Bi and others were worried and could not sleep at night, racking their brains to try to save their own interests.
It is unclear whether their actions can help them escape guilt, but they have left enough evidence to convince everyone in the world!
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction: "That's very good!"
"Fortunately, Brother Wang is here, otherwise this civil examination will definitely make the world laugh at these silverfish!"
< br>
"There is no need to bother Brother Wang with the subsequent judgment of crimes and punishments. Let's leave it to the left prime minister and Ting Wei."
Ying Zheng's voice turned cold: "These people who deceive the emperor will all be punished with serious crimes!"
Before Ying Chengyu spoke, Lu Buwei suddenly shook his head: "Absurd."
Ying Chengyu looked at Ying Zheng, but saw that Ying Zheng neither refuted nor answered, as if he had not heard Lu Buwei. Like his words, he looked at Ying Chengyu quietly.
If Ying Chengyu didn’t believe in ghosts and gods, he would have doubted whether the Lu Buwei he saw was a ghost invisible to others!
Ying Chengyu had to take the initiative to ask: "Why did Marquis Wenxin say this?"
"Qin's laws are strict. These people, as important officials of the imperial court, know and break the law. Shouldn't they be severely punished!"
>Lu Buwei responded in a deep voice: "Of course we should be severely punished, but severe punishment requires methods."
"The king's move is too hasty!"
"The king should start by dividing the imperial examinations. They were immediately arrested and questioned on the same day.”
"As many people as you find, you will be punished!"
"In this way, we not only maintain the majesty of Qin's laws, but also do not persecute the people and courtiers too much."
"But your Majesty, But he stood still, alerted the enemy, and then killed them all in one fell swoop. "But the king didn't know that Mi Li and others were not the king's enemies, but his ministers. The people of Guandong were not the king's enemies, but his subjects!" "
"Forcing one's own ministers and people to become one's enemies is unwise!"
"I can already see that the Qin Dynasty is in turmoil, and that the great dynasty and everyone are enemies!"
Ying Zheng's right hand in his sleeve was clenched into a fist, but his face remained calm.
Seeing this, Ying Chengxuan said: "Brother Wang, Marquis Wenxin said that you and I are acting unwisely and are forcing the people and officials too much, which may lead to instability in the country."
" What does Brother Wang think?”
Ying Zheng said coldly: “Nonsense!”
"How can I ignore such a serious crime as deceiving the emperor? I should investigate it thoroughly and punish it!"
"In the past, Marquis Xin once said that the emperor and his ministers should perform their respective duties, and you don't need to investigate to find out."
< br>“But ignoring the crime of deceiving the emperor by his ministers and ignoring the fact that his subjects entered the court through fraudulent means is something that the monarch should not be aware of!”
“If I don’t commit the crime of deceiving the emperor, Then it will be difficult for the country to survive!"
Ying Chengxuan looked at Lu Buwei, waiting for Lu Buwei's answer.
As a result, Lu Buwei stopped talking. He just looked out the window and sipped his drink.
Ying Chengxuan said speechlessly: "Marquis Wenxin, the king said that if it is not investigated and severely punished, it will be difficult for the country to survive."
Lu Buwei shook his head: "The king has forgotten human nature. "
"Disloyalty, injustice, deception, and betrayal are human nature, and there are so many courtiers who want to deceive the emperor."
"If they are all guilty, then they will be punished. The King will also have no one available.”
"Your Majesty has even forgotten the meaning of punishment!"
"Punishment is a punishment for those who break the law, and it is also a warning to those who have not broken the law!"
"Your Majesty originally only needed to By questioning several important ministers, other officials will not dare to deceive the emperor again, but will be willing to work diligently for the king and use the punishment as a warning."
"The king insists on it. He wanted to implicate and commit serious crimes against the officials, only to use punishment. "
"I think it is because the great Qin Dynasty has won successive battles and many talented people have entered the Qin Dynasty in recent years, which made the king despise the courtiers! ”
"I am worried about you!"
Ying Chengyu looked at Ying Zheng again. Ying Zheng's expression changed slightly, but his eyes also turned to the window without saying a word.
Ying Cheng is annoyed!
Ying Chengyu spread his hands and asked without concealing his displeasure: "Brother Wang, Marquis Wenxin, are you kidding me?"
"Sitting across from each other, we don't hear each other. Do you have to recite it from generation to generation? ”
"Before I came here, didn't you two have a conversation?" Ying Zheng said quietly: "Marquis Wenxin doesn't want to talk, so why do we need to force each other so hard?"
Lu Buwei also said quietly: "The king doesn't want to speak, and the minister doesn't want to speak either."
Ying Chengyu:...6!
According to the minister, it had been more than half an hour since Lu Buwei entered the imperial study.
The two of them sat facing each other in the imperial study room for more than half an hour, and yet they didn't say a word?
Ying Chengyu was silent for a few moments before he spoke: "You are amazing!"
"I admire you!"
Sitting down on the soft couch to the left of Ying Zheng , Ying Chengyu said in a deep voice: "Brother Wang, there are many affairs in the government and the place is in chaos. I, the Qin Dynasty, need the wisdom of Marquis Wenxin!"
"After all, Marquis Wenxin was personally invited back to Neishi County as a guest by my brother."< br>
"Give me some face!"
Ying Zheng withdrew his gaze from the window.
Ying Chengxuan looked at Lu Buwei again and said: "Marquis Wenxin, can this matter still be discussed?"
"If it is not discussed, I will ask Brother Wang for help. All the concubines in the palace who have not been favored by the king’s brother.”
Ying Zheng: [_?]
What are you trying to do to persuade Lu Buwei to involve me?
If you want a girl, I can give it to you.
However, Lu Buwei suddenly glared at Ying Chengyu: "This is an act of a sycophant!"
Lü Buwei regarded Ying Zheng as his junior, and he also acted like the tradition of this era. Everyone hopes that Ying Zheng can flourish.
Lu Buwei knows Ying Zheng’s attitude towards women very well.
If Ying Chengyu really brings all the concubines back to the Chang'an Palace, it will be even harder to urge Ying Zheng to have children!
Ying Chengyu blinked: "Aren't I a sycophant?"
"I am not only a sycophant, but also a lucky minister!"
"In the future, I will be a sycophant." If we go out to destroy the country again, I will not send the concubines from other countries to Xianyang Palace, but will drag them back to my house early, leaving no one for Brother Wang."
"I want to come to the king! My brother's temperament will not take the initiative to take in another concubine."
Lu Buwei:...
You are shameless!
With a bit of frustration, Lu Buwei stood up and handed over his hands: "My lord, Marquis Wenxin has some advice!"
If Lu Buwei did not want to see Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei would not risk death. Return to Xianyang City.
If Ying Zheng didn't want to see Lu Buwei, he wouldn't have spent so long with Lu Buwei.
Now that both sides have reached the bottom of the steps, Ying Zheng took advantage of the situation and said with his right hand: "Please take a seat, Marquis Wenxin."
Lu Buwei cupped his hands and saluted again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ying Chengyu saw this He breathed a sigh of relief.
Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei seem to be adopted father and son, uncle and nephew, monarch and minister, master and disciple, and enemy.
In addition, Lao Ai, whom Lu Buwei sent to the palace, gave King Zhuang Xiang a big cuckold, Zhao Ji was Lu Buwei’s dancing girl, Lu Buwei’s tough control over Ying Zheng, and the popular rumors between Lu Buwei and The story Zhao Ji had to tell and a series of questions.
The relationship between Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei is extremely complicated and confusing, with various emotions intertwined and fused.
What’s more important is that both Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei are extremely determined, confident, and strong people. It is impossible for them to bow to others!
This makes the relationship between the two more difficult to ease.
Maybe only when one party dies, the other party will really calm down and recall the past, and then get drunk for three days.
Fortunately, Ying Chengyu had no intention of helping Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei resolve their knots.
Ying Chengyu just wanted to use Lu Buwei's talents!
Sitting in the unfamiliar yet familiar position on the left hand side of Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei sighed in his heart before continuing: "The king wants to govern the people of Guandong, this is a necessary move."
"But while the king is governing the people of Guandong, he must also understand that although the king is the king, ministers in various places may not be willing to be ministers."
"Now the Qin Dynasty has a very wide territory, and the king's order can be transmitted to various places easily. On the eighth day, the king's power in the eyes of the local people has become increasingly weak."
"Therefore, only by adopting the correct method can the king achieve what he wants."
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and asked: "Marquis Wenxin is saying that I am wrong?"
Lu Buwei said calmly: "The king is wrong!"
Hard!
Ying Zheng’s fist is hard!
Just like many people can accept the persuasion of friends and clients, but cannot accept the persuasion of teachers and parents.
If others say that Ying Zheng is wrong, Ying Zheng may accept it happily.
But when Lu Buwei said that Ying Zheng was wrong, an unknown fire suddenly rose in Ying Zheng's heart!
I am no longer the child I used to be!
Ying Zheng said resolutely: "In the eyes of Marquis Wenxin, I may be wrong."
"However, our Great Qin has expanded its territory and doubled its territory, but the people everywhere have only Dare to do the deceiving thing in the gutter without any turmoil!”
"This is enough to prove that I am right, and Marquis Wenxin is wrong!"
Lu Buwei shook his head: "This can only prove that Lord Chang'an is right."
Already twisted Ying Chengyu, who entered the melon-eating state with the snack: ∑(△`)? ?
I heard Lu Buwei continue to say: "The reason why the people and officials in Guandong did not dare to have any turmoil was because when the Lord of Chang'an destroyed Han and Chu, he massacred the powerful people, and even used five hundred soldiers to wipe out them. Therefore, all the people in Han who are willing to cause chaos!"
"Otherwise, the world will be in chaos!"
Ying Zheng was stunned: "Marquis Wenxin said that Brother Wang was right to kill?"
Although no one dared to accuse Ying Chengyu of killing in front of Ying Zheng.
But Lu Buwei was really the first person to say that Ying Chengxiu was right to kill!
Lu Buwei said without hesitation: "It's right to kill!"
"It's even more right for Chang'an Lord to kill on his own without reporting it to the king!"
After Ying Zheng was silent for more than ten seconds, he asked in a complicated voice:
"Marquis Wenxin, are you a little too radical?"
Didn't Lu Buwei teach himself about benevolence and righteousness, love for the people, and education every day? Did you take it step by step and try your best to hold back Ying Zheng from unifying the world?
This man is clearly a conservative!
After not seeing each other for several years, why did he become more radical than others?
After being silent for more than ten seconds, Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng with complicated eyes:
"In the whole world, I am afraid that the king is the only one who thinks that I will not act radically!"
