Chapter 3 Ying Zheng: I always feel like I’m being used as a gun
Lu Buwei?
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
If he had heard this name before he knew about the ruins tower, Ying Zheng might have been a little worried.
But now that Ying Zheng knows the truth about this vast world, his fear of Lu Buwei has been greatly reduced.
However, although the fear has been reduced, you still have to be timid.
After all, with the strength of his current unarmed confidants, it really wouldn’t be too difficult for Lu Buwei to crush him to death.
Be patient!
A cold light flashed through his eyes, but in the next moment it turned into a warm spring breeze. He stood up directly and spoke in surprise.
“What? Father Zhong is here?”
"Father Zhong is here, why do you need to announce it? Why don't you invite him quickly!"
After saying this, Ying Zheng stood up directly and strode towards the door.
Seeing this scene, many of the guards around were stunned.
Huh?
What's going on?
Although His Royal Highness used to respect Lu Buwei quite a lot, it seems that it was more of a helpless choice, right?
What are you doing today
Looking at Ying Zheng, who was striding out with an anxious expression, many maids and guards bowed their heads respectfully, especially those who did not belong to Ying Zheng, their eyes were even more... There was a strange light that flashed away.
But before Ying Zheng walked out of the door, Lu Buwei walked slowly over and bowed respectfully in the distance.
"Wei Chen Lu Buwei."
"See His Highness Gong Zizheng."
Looking at Lu Buwei who walked in, Ying Zheng secretly cursed in his heart, "I have sneaked in before I announced his entry. I really took this person seriously." Great Qin's eldest son's palace is regarded as his own living room?
He cursed secretly in his heart, but Ying Zheng had a smile on his face.
"Why are you doing this, Father Zhong? Why are you and I so indifferent? Come here! Give Father Zhong a seat quickly!"
Looking at Ying Zheng, who was obviously very eager. , Lu Buwei narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The guards hurriedly moved the chair, Lu Buwei thanked him respectfully, and then slowly sat down, with only half of his buttocks sitting on the chair, his attitude was extremely respectful and respectful, and he didn't look at all. He appeared to be the most powerful official in the Qin Dynasty today.
What a pretense.
Cursing secretly, Ying Zheng smiled broadly.
“Why did Father Zhong come here today?”
Lu Buwei is an old man with a fine appearance, a slender figure, gray hair on the temples, and a pair of sharp eyebrows like swords. Although he is already over fifty years old, he does not have any gloomy air on his body, but has a sharpness like an eagle.
“We are here to congratulate His Highness Gong Zizheng on his accession to the throne.” Lu Buwei stood up to laugh, smiled, and said respectfully: “It is a great blessing for the world that Your Highness has become the King of Qin, and the Qin Dynasty is destined to prosper because of this. "Ten thousand years."
"Zhongfu doesn't have to be like this! Zheng'er is young and needs help from Zhongfu for many things. How can he be prosperous without Zhongfu?" Ying Zheng stood up quickly and helped Lu Buwei. He was so kind and respectful, completely different from the way he was alone before.
Lu Buwei raised his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, I have been assisting the late emperor for many years. Although I consider myself loyal, since the death of the late emperor, there have been so many rumors inside and outside the palace that I am no longer suitable to assist your highness. "
"In addition to congratulating His Majesty on his enthronement, I also want to ask for your Majesty's enthronement. After the handover is completed, I also ask Your Majesty to allow me to retire and return to my hometown."< br>
"What?! You must not! Who dares to slander Father Zhong with words? You are so bold!" Ying Zheng looked furious, but in his heart he was scolding.
This shameless old fox is still gossiping. Now more than half of the officials in Da Qin are colluding with you. Who dares to set you up?
After the handover is completed, how long will it take for you to retire and return home?
One day, or one year? Or ten years, thirty years?
"There is absolutely no discussion at this time. How can Da Qin be without Zhongfu?" Ying Zheng asserted in a feigned anger.
“Your Highness, you are putting me in danger.” Lu Buwei smiled bitterly: “In recent days, we have been suppressed by many ministers and officials, and there are even many threats. Leave, I'm afraid."
Ying Zheng's pupils suddenly shrank and he said in shock: "Who is so bold! How dare you suppress me, the minister of the Great Qin Dynasty!"
"Who else could it be? Just those few people, the group of people in Shangyang and Taiyuan, His Highness has already known about it, and the details, alas, it’s okay not to mention them." Lu Buwei sighed.
Ying Zheng's face changed slightly. First he was surprised, then angry, and finally seemed to be entangled and struggling. After a long time, he finally seemed to have made up his mind. He took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice.
"In this case, Father Zhong, I seem to have heard that there are many people in Shangyang and Taiyuan recently who are not upright as officials. Father Zhong can send someone to replace them, but the reason why they are "incorrect as officials" requires Father Zhong to come forward on his own. Let’s search.”
“What’s going on?” Lu Buwei was shocked.
"Father Zhong, don't say any more, it's settled now!"
"This" Lu Buwei opened his mouth, but in the end he could only sigh helplessly and slowly took it out of his sleeve. He read two scrolls of bamboo slips and said, "Actually, Your Highness, the ministers and the officials from Shangyang and Taiyuan have already completed the investigation. There are indeed many people among them who are committing official misconduct and harming the people."
"The humble minister originally planned to hand it over to His Highness when he retires and returns to his hometown. Unexpectedly, His Highness has already noticed it. He is really aware of everything and has the style of a wise king of the Qin Dynasty."
Seeing this scene, Ying Zheng smiled brightly and nodded.
This old bastard
The time when he acted on the same stage with Lu Buwei did not last long.
After achieving his goal, Lu Buwei stood up and left.
“Father Zhong, walk slowly!”
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Looking at Lu Buwei leaving, Ying Zheng returned to his room, and the smile on his face gradually faded away.
"This old guy is really shameless."
Pressing the center of his eyebrows hard, the corners of Ying Zheng's mouth twitched.
In fact, Shangyang and Taiyuan that Lu Buwei had previously demanded were controlled by Queen Huayang and Lord Quanyang, one of the two major forces in the Qin Dynasty today.
It seems that they are aware of the growth of Lu Buwei and Queen Mother Zhao Ji. At this time, Queen Huayang and Lord Quanyang are trying every means to swallow up Lu Buwei's power.
Of course Lu Buwei didn't want to abandon the great rivers and mountains just like that, but it was not conducive to him to fight head-on, so he decided to take Ying Zheng's side.
Although this is a good thing for Ying Zheng, it is a fight between clams and clams in the river, but Ying Zheng always feels like being used as a weapon
“Without his own power , after all, it won’t work. Even if he becomes the King of Qin, he will still be the puppet of these two forces.”
Sighing softly, Ying Zheng gradually felt his heart as he looked at the small pagoda spinning in his mind. Made up my mind.
That being the case, let’s take advantage of the two forces’ overt and covert fights and use the power of the small tower as soon as possible to start building wonders and ruins!
It is best to completely complete it before taking the throne!
In this way, Ying Zheng will have his own power!
