When Li Si saw Lu Buwei asking him this, he knew that his chance had come.

Lu Buwei was born as a businessman and dared to "gamble". Li Si has a similar personality to Lu Buwei.

Li Si was born in Shangcai, Runan, Chu State (now Lisilou Village, Lugang Township, Shangcai County, Henan Province). He was not from Qin. He served as a local minor official in charge of documents at a young age.

Once, he saw mice eating stool in the toilet. When they met a person or a dog, they all ran away quickly.

But the mice I saw in Yonekura ate big and fat, and were leisurely playing and mating among the rice piles, without any threat or horror brought by people or dogs.

Seeing this, Li Si was moved and said, "Whether a person is virtuous or not, he is like a rat, and he is in his own way!"

He believes that people don’t care whether they can do it or not. The intelligence and talent between people are almost the same. Wealth and poverty all depend on whether the individual can seize opportunities and choose the environment.

As a young man, Li Si also wanted to do something in the face of great struggles in the world. In order to achieve his goal of becoming a success, after repeated considerations, Li Si resigned from his position as a minor official in the State of Chu, went to Qi to study, and became a teacher of Xunzi.

If you have a well-known teacher in the world, you will definitely start differently.

Li Si followed Xunzi, mainly learning Xunzi's "imperial arts".

After learning, Li Si began to plan again. Yan State had not yet risen at that time, Ji Kang was still "living" in Liao, but Qin State had the ability to unify the world. After analyzing and comparing the situations of various countries, Li Si chose to serve Qin State.

But unfortunately, as a young man, King Yingji of Qin did not pay much attention to him, let alone reuse Li Si. For the sake of being a disciple of Xunzi, he was given a small official as a casual official.

It was not until Lu Buwei came to Xianyang that Li Si was recommended to Gongzi Yiren and was reused.

In Lu Buwei's study, Li Si smiled and said to Lu Buwei:

"Mr. Lu, if you want your son Yiren to become the King of Qin, you must make your son the prince; if you want your son to become the prince, you must make An Guojun respect your son. I think that to complete the above plan, you must defeat them from bottom to top."

Lu Buwei was stunned. After thinking for a while, he said to Li Siyan:

"Mr. Li Si, how can we defeat each one from bottom to top?"

Li Si said to Lu Buwei:

"Mr. Lu, I heard in private that An Guojun is very fond of Mrs. Huayang. Mrs. Huayang has no son, but she can control An Guojun and participate in the election of the crown prince. If we want Prince Yiren to become the crown prince, we can only start from her."

Lu Buwei suddenly realized and said to Li Siyan: "Mr. Li Si's plan is very wonderful, but Mrs. Huayang has a noble status. How can we get close to Mrs. Huayang?"

Li Si went up and said softly in Lu Buwei's ear: "Mr. Lu, have you forgotten Mrs. Huayang's younger brother Yang Quanjun? I heard that this person likes jewelry and property very much. Mr., why not make a breakthrough?"

After hearing Li Si's words, Lu Buwei smiled and said to him:

"Mr. Li Si, I fully understand what you mean. If this plan can be accomplished, Mr. Li Si will be the first to do so."

Both Lu Buwei and Li Si knew that the word "big bet" could no longer describe the biggest political speculation in the world.

Difficult! Very difficult! Very difficult!

Although Lu Buwei was rich, as a businessman, it was impossible to meet An Guojun and Mrs. Huayang directly. In order to achieve political goals, the two began to make detailed plans in Lu Buwei's study and decided to take a two-pronged approach.

Mrs. Huayang's younger brother Yang Quanjun, whose real name is Mi Chen, was born into a noble family in Chu State and was related to Queen Mother Xuan of Qin State, Wei Ran, Marquis of Rang, and Huayangjun.

Two days later, Lu Buwei disguised himself as a businessman and took advantage of Yangquanjun Michen's retreat to the court and shouted loudly in front of his carriage. It was not beyond Lu Buwei's expectations. Yang Quanjun really liked jewelry. When he heard Lu Buwei's shouting that there were rare jewelry sales, he came to Lu Buwei and wanted to buy Lu Buwei's jewelry.

Lu Buwei said to Yang Quanjun: "Look at Yang Quanjun, I will soon be in danger of destroying my body. Now, I still have the leisure to collect treasures. I think Yang Quanjun, it's better to go home to use the money to buy treasures to find a way out for myself!"

What this said naturally aroused Yang Quanjun's furiousness.

Seeing this, Lu Buwei continued to say to Yangquanjun calmly: "Yangquanjun, please forgive me for saying frankly that Yangquanjun was useless to Qin. It was just that the crown prince of Qin, An Guojun recommended it to the King of Qin to please Mrs. Huayang, so that the great man can get credit."

"Now Yangquan king is in power, wealthy overwhelms all the ministers, the ministers look at each other, and the princes are unfair. The villains often hear people say that those who use their beauty to win others must abandon them by their beauty. Once the lady of Huayang's beauty is declining, how will Yangquan king be in the Qin court?"

These few words made Yang Quanjun, who was arrogant and speechless on the spot.

Lu Buwei continued to say to Yangquanjun: "Mr. An Guojun must be appointed as the crown prince and will soon be the King of Qin. I heard that Mr. An Guojun already belonged to Prince Ziqi, and the one who was in charge of the harem at that time was naturally the mother of Prince Ziqi."

"As the saying goes, "Mother is noble by her son." Mrs. Huayang has not yet had her own descendants. Even if her beauty has not faded, she will lose power. Why didn't Yangquan Jun even expect this level?"

When Yang Quanjun heard this, he was shocked and knew that Lu Buwei in front of him was no ordinary person.

He bowed his hand and said to Lu Buweiyan: "May I ask sir's name?"

Lu Buwei bowed and returned the salute, saying to Yangquanjun: "Yangquanjun, I am the disciple of the young master Yiren."

Yang Quanjun said "Oh" and said to Lu Buwei: "It turns out to be Mr. Lu, please get in the car and talk in detail."

Lu Buwei laughed, knowing that his plan and Li Si had been half successful.

In Yangquanjun's van, Lu Buwei said to Yangquanjun:

"Mr. Yangquan, Mrs. Huayang is now as beautiful as the spring flowers, and King An Guo's favor is as deep as the East China Sea. If Mrs. Huayang can choose the wise among the sons and take them as his own son at this time, and make him the legitimate son, the king An Guo's will definitely obey."

"After ascending the throne in the future, this son will be the crown prince. In this way, when the king of An Guo is king, Mrs. Huayang will be favored. Even if the king of An Guo is born a hundred years later, the son he takes will be as powerful as Mount Tai. This is what is called reaping benefits for all generations. Why don't you advise the wife to make arrangements as soon as possible? Once the wife is despicable and her appearance is deteriorating, it is useless to make suggestions!"

After thinking for a while, Yang Quanjun said to Lu Buwei in embarrassment: "Everything that Mr. Lu said is true, but Lord An Guo has more than 20 sons, each with his own mother. At present, who is willing to adopt him by Mrs. Huayang?"

Then Lu Buwei said Yiren: "Buwei was doing business in Zhao, and often heard the princes and ministers in Handan City praise the wise men of Yiren. Buwei once visited him, but he saw that he was humble and polite, diligent and studious, and had the spirit of a gentleman."

"When talking about Qin and his wife, they were sad and crying, and their longing was beyond words. I knew that after living among the sons, his mother died early and lived in Zhao for many years. Although she returned to China, she was isolated and helpless and was willing to rely on her wife."

"If the wife can adopt the son Yiren as her adopted son and be appointed as the crown prince in the future, then the Yiren has no country but has a country, and the wife has no son but has a son. Once the wife is in charge, will the rule of Qin be governed by the wife and the elders?"

Lu Buwei's words immediately moved Yang Quanjun and nodded frequently.

Then, Lu Buwei asked Yang Quanjun to present the treasure he brought to Mrs. Huayang, and gave Yang Quanjun a large sum of money. Yang Quanjun did not disappoint Lu Buwei's expectations, and introduced Lu Buwei to Mrs. Huayang's sister.

Lu Buwei also concocted this method and motivated Mrs. Huayang's sister. Since Lu Buwei proposed a win-win strategy, Yang Quanjun and his elder sister immediately went to the palace to meet Mrs. Huayang after Lu Buwei's guidance.

After hearing the words of his elder sister and younger brother Yang Quanjun, Mrs. Huayang pondered for a while and knew that Lu Buwei's words were right.

He said to his elder sister and Yang Quanjun: "This Lu Buwei is a little smart. What he said is right. But he still wants to let the young master Yiren enter the palace. Let's see what his attitude is?"

The young master Yiren had already received a reminder from Lu Buwei that when he entered the palace to meet Mrs. Huayang, he was wearing Chu robes.

As soon as he saw Mrs. Huayang, he worshiped him with great gifts: "Baby, I wish you a visit to your mother."

Seeing this, Mrs. Huayang was very happy and asked the young master Yiren, "Young Master Yiren, why are you wearing Chu people's clothes?"

The young master Yiren choked up and said to Mrs. Huayang: "The child is unfilial and is a property in a foreign country and cannot serve his mother. The child misses his mother day and night, and his mother is a native of Chu. Therefore, the child specially makes Chu clothes to show respect."

The young master Yiren's attitude deeply touched Mrs. Huayang. She immediately recognized the son Yiren and changed Yiren's name to "Chu".

After the Crown Prince An Guojun of Qin learned that Mrs. Huayang accepted Prince Yiren as his son, he was very surprised and sent his confidant Fan Yuqi to investigate the matter, and finally learned about the matter.

For Lu Buwei, a businessman, he actually caused this. An Guojun also wanted to see what kind of person Lu Buwei was? So he sent someone to recruit Lu Buwei into the palace.

An Guojun asked Lu Buwei directly:

"The gentleman can actually let his wife adopt Yi Ren as her son. I am deeply impressed by his strategy."

The sweat on Lu Buwei's forehead was out, and he knew his strategy and did not hide it from An Guojun.

Kneeling on the ground, he said to An Guojun:

"Your Majesty, the son of the strange man, is extremely intelligent and ambitious, and you will help him if you don't."

An Guojun looked at Lu Buwei, laughed loudly, and continued to ask Lu Buwei:

"Mr. Lu, I want to know how the gentleman tried to urge his wife and decided to adopt Yi Ren?"

Lu Buwei was already sweating profusely at this time, but he did not dare to relax at all. He replied to An Guojun: "Crown Prince, why should a businessman in Wei be a businessman? The reason is that the lady must have already explained it to the prince."

Speaking of this, Lu Buwei gritted his teeth and continued to say to An Guojun:

"Crown Prince, Buwei is here, but there are a few unpleasant words. I wonder if the prince is willing to listen?"

An Guojun smiled coldly and said to Lu Buwei: "Tell me."

Lu Buwei bowed his hand to An Guojun and said, "Crown Prince, please forgive me for saying this. Although the prince has more than twenty years of his son, he was born in the royal family and raised in the deep palace, and it was difficult to shoulder the great responsibilities of Qin in the future."

"If the prince ascends the throne as king in the future and chooses the prince among them, the brothers will not be convinced. In the future, if the brothers lead to civil strife, I am afraid..."

Lu Buwei said this and stopped. But An Guojun already knew what Lu Buwei meant.

An Guojun looked at Lu Buwei and said slowly:

"According to Mr. Lu's intention, in the future, the prince will be the most suitable only if Yiren is the prince?"

Lu Buwei replied without hesitation: "Crown Prince, that's right."

Then, Lu Buwei said loudly to An Guojun: "First, the young master Yiren was in Zhao for many years and suffered for the country, and made great contributions to the country; second, the young master Yiren had a heart of worrying about the country and the people, and had the talent to govern the country and the people; finally, the young master Yiren had a prince in Handan, Zhao State because of virtue, and the king of Qin was in trouble."

"Although the prince is a businessman, he believes that in the future, only the prince of Yi Ren will be the prince of Qin, he can submit to the people internally and externally. This is a major event to consolidate the Qin country's country's country. It is Dali. Please ask the prince to give a clear understanding."

An Guojun stood up, slowly came to Lu Buwei's side, and said to Lu Buwei:

"Mr. Lv, please get up."

"Thank you, Prince." Lu Buwei stood up and bowed and replied.

An Guojun turned around Lu Buwei, and a cold light flashed in his eyes and said to Lu Buwei:

"Mr. Lu is indeed a wise man among merchants. I want to know, if Yiren really becomes the prince in the future, how should he repay his hard work today?"

Lu Buwei had an answer to An Guojun's question, and bowed to An Guojun and said:

"You are the prince, Buwei is a businessman, and what you want is profit. If you can get help from your son Yiren in the future, and let Buwei make great profits in doing business in Qin, you will be able to spend the rest of his life."

An Guojun said "Oh" and continued to say to Lu Buwei:

"Does Mr. Lu have nothing to ask for?"

Lu Buwei said to An Guojun with a solemn expression: "The prince, as the saying goes, business is about business. What Buwei said just now is the truth. Buwei dare not have any thoughts about him anymore, that's all."

An Guojun laughed loudly again and said loudly to Lu Buwei:

"Okay, the Qin State will reward you with kindness. The person who came will prepare three hundred gold and reward Mr. Lu."

Lu Buwei hurriedly knelt down again, kowtowed to An Guojun's great tribute and said, "Thank you, Prince."

Lu Buwei, who walked out of the palace, looked back at the palace and said softly:

"It seems that King An Guojun is very cautious about me, and I must be wary of it. Humph! King An Guojun, you can't reward 300 gold, and you don't even have enough money to spend on Prince Yiren. Don't think about giving up yourself with this."

After Lu Buwei left, An Guojun wandered back and forth in the hall for two more times.

Then he called his confidant general Fan Yuqi and said to him: "General Fan, you must pay close attention to this Lu Buwei in the future. If he has any unreasonable thoughts, you will come to report to the prince immediately. Do you understand?"
