Chapter 344 Chaos in the Central Plains (forty-four)
Fan Sui reacted extremely quickly. Before the civil servants could react, he had already arrived in the palace. When he saw the empty court in front of the palace, Fan Sui couldn't help but feel a little proud. As expected, Ying Zheng was really going to take action.
Although Lu Buwei is a prime minister and has also proclaimed himself a prime minister, the Qin Dynasty is an old winner. No matter how powerful you are, you, Lu Buwei, are just a castle in the air and may be defeated back to your original form at any time.
However, not everyone can tell the situation. There are always a few people who think that holding Lu Buwei's thighs can make you rest assured, but it was not until the moment the guard broke into the gate that they realized that although the young tiger was young, he also ate meat.
"These people are just charged with confiscating their homes and exiling them to the army. Zhao Gao, you can do this!"
Ying Zheng was very satisfied with the current situation. The king's power was fully revealed at this moment. All he wanted was obedience and absolute obedience. Anyone or thing that dared to challenge his authority would be cruelly erased by him.
Lu Buwei still didn't come, but Ying Zheng did not intend to let the guards "invitation". It would be better if he didn't come. Without him, the entire convention hall looked much more harmonious. Ying Zheng turned his eyes to the front of the civil servant line. Seeing that Fan Sui was holding his head at the moment, his face was full of respect. He was still very capable of achieving the position of prime minister. Not to mention anything else, his sensitivity to political affairs was not comparable to ordinary people. However, after Lu Buwei came to power, he added the position of prime minister, which actually put Fan Sui under vanishing. If he handed over the power to him at this moment, it would be a good time to win people's hearts.
"Fan Sui, Xiangfu is not in good health and cannot be in charge of the director. He will temporarily hand over his official duties to you. Do you have any objections?"
When he heard this, Fan Sui immediately gave up and thanked him. By the way, this stall was originally his, but after Lu Buwei came to power, he forced him to take it away, making the Prime Minister Fan Sui completely a decoration. Now that power has returned, Fan Sui has no reason to deal with it.
"I am very careful to obey the king's order!"
......
Now the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion is closed, and only two stone beasts are left guarding the gate alone. The hustle and bustle in the past suddenly became silent. Even the servants were more careful and even breathed three points less.
"Hateful! Hateful! Hateful!"
Lu Buwei's fist clenched and he suddenly realized that the development of the situation exceeded his original expectations. Ying Zheng had no intention of talking at all, and he didn't even take Lu Buwei seriously at all. He was young and energetic and did not know what compromise was. He only chose the fastest and most effective way to solve the troubles in front of him. It can be imagined that those weak civil servants would definitely not be the opponents of the guards. Compared with their character and life, the majority of people who chose their lives were still.
"If one doesn't work, I'll support another one. Anyway, they are all my sons, and everyone in the country will be the same!"
Lu Buwei smashed Tong Jue hard on the ground, as if he had vented all his anger all at once. He saw him breathing calmly and said to the door: "Old Uncle Lu?"
"Honor."
Uncle Lu hunched over and walked in slowly from outside the door. His wrinkled face looked even older. No matter from any angle, he was a stalemate, but only a few people knew how terrifying the skills of the old man in front of him were.
"Uncle Lu, you have recently arranged for someone to release the news and said that I was in good health and planned to step down and return home. I just waited for the king to make a date for return and left Xianyang."
"Yes, the head of the family!"
In fact, with Lu Buwei's influence in Xianyang City, it is very easy to send some news, because his shops and restaurants are the best places to send news. Therefore, this deliberately spread throughout Xianyang quickly and finally fell into Ying Zheng's ears.
"Resigning from office and returning home? This old guy is forcing me to express his opinion, but it is not that easy for him to leave at this moment. Zhao Gao!"
"I'm here."
"Have you written by Lu Buwei recently?"
"But back to the king, there are some."
Zhao Gao pulled out one of the bamboo slips from a pile and handed it to Ying Zheng's desk with both hands. Ying Zheng opened it and saw that as expected, it was Lu Buwei's request to step down.
"I wrote a letter to myself, created momentum outside, and cooperated with both internal and external forces. The lonely Xiangfu is still trying to do something!"
Zhao Gao smiled with a smile on his face and asked carefully: "King, what do you mean..."
"When you are doing a show, you have to do the whole set. Tell him, you are alone, you are not sure!"
One side wanted to show that he was tolerant, while the other side wanted to show that he was in the heart of the King of Qin, so the resignation document was made in three orders and three cases. Just when Lu Buwei was about to stop when he was ready, King Ying Zheng of Qin suddenly issued an edict, thinking that Lu Xiang worked diligently for the Qin Dynasty and made great contributions, he specially allowed him to resign and recuperate.
As soon as this edict was issued, the ministers were in an uproar. No one thought that the king would really let Lu Buwei go, but the edict was written clearly and could not be faked. The court suddenly started to stir up trouble. Everyone stared at Ying Zheng's actions, and no one knew what impact the next edict would have.
But under this storm, Lu Buwei, one of the parties involved, seemed very calm. He wrote a letter to thank the king for his grace, and then had a big banquet for guests. The first person invited was Ying Zheng!
"You said, what is Lu Xiang doing? Do you really want to thank the king for his grace in the mansion?"
"It's hard to say. I don't believe that the king is really willing to let Lu Xiang leave. For so many years, if Lu Xiang was not at the helm, my Qin Dynasty would never have been as glorious as today!"
"You fart! The reason why my Qin is powerful is the common contribution of several generations of previous kings. What does it have to do with him, Lu Buwei!"
After receiving the invitation, the ministers had different attitudes. They didn't know whether to go or not. Just as everyone was still watching, news suddenly came from the palace that the king had agreed to attend the banquet. Not only that, the empress dowager who had not seen for many days also issued an order and would also attend at that time.
In the secret room of the prime minister's mansion, Lu Buwei sat quietly behind the desk, holding a cup and slowly sucking it.
"How did I ask you to do what I did?"
"Return to Xiangye, you have already prepared it. This poison will dissolve into water, it is colorless and tasteless and will not attack immediately. I can guarantee that no one will suspect Xiangye!"
"Yeah, that's good!"
Lu Buwei nodded, put the cup in his hand in front of him, looked at the man in black robe in front of him and said, "Lao Ai, I am still assured that you can use poison. As long as you do this, no matter what you want, I can satisfy you!"
