Chapter 93 Lu Buwei
Because Ying Zheng deliberately asked hundreds of Qin troops to escort him and was rushing on the official road, no matter how brave Lu Buwei was, he would not dare to send people to intercept Ying Zheng at this time.
Under the escort of hundreds of Qin troops, Wu Lang and his team went smoothly and rushed from the South Korean border to Xianyang City in just five days.
After arriving in Xianyang City, Ying Zheng's first thing was to enthrone Wu Lang as the Qin State's National Master's Office and reward him with a larger Qin State Master's Office than the Korean State Master's Office, as well as five hundred slaves.
After Ying Zheng enthroned Wu Lang, the new national guru, he began to deal with the memorials that had been accumulated during this period. As for the fact that he was chased by "Ba Linglong" in South Korea, he did not mention a word, as if nothing had happened?
The situation in Qin State and South Korea is similar to that in the present, all of which are powerful ministers in power and the decline of the royal power. The biggest difference between the two is that King Han is incompetent, while King Qin is secretly accumulating his own strength. If he doesn't make a sound, he will make a big splash.
...
Since the officials of Qin had long heard of the name of Changchun Dan, not long after Wu Lang moved into the National Master Mansion, the civil and military officials sent the carefully prepared gifts and medicinal materials to the National Master Mansion.
Yan Lingji brought more than ten maids to count the gifts sent by civil and military officials, while making some fun: "Master, Qin is worthy of being the overlord of the seven countries. The gifts sent by these Qin officials are of great quality!"
"Yanyan, bring someone to organize all the medicinal materials in the gift. If you like the remaining gifts, just take them yourself!"
"Master!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Lingji smiled and gave a charming look at Wu Lang, and chose the gift she liked with joy.
As soon as Yan Lingji finished speaking, the corpse-driven demon hurried into the hall and handed a gilded invitation to Wu Lang and said, "Master, the Prime Minister Qin sent someone to send an invitation to invite you to the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight."
"Haha, it seems that Lu Buwei's power in Qin State is greater than I thought." After Wu Lang took the invitation, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Although Lu Buwei only sent someone to send an invitation, a lot of information can be seen from it.
When he was in Korea, Ji Wuye visited Wu Lang in person to please Wu Lang. Now Lu Buwei sent someone to send an invitation to invite him to the National Master's Mansion to talk. The two different attitudes represent completely different meanings.
The reason why Ji Wuye visited him in person was, on the one hand, because he wanted to express his importance to Wu Lang, but on the other hand, because he was concerned about the King of Han and did not dare to show it too blatantly.
But Lu Buwei's approach was different. He knew that Wu Lang was back from South Korea with Ying Zheng, but he directly invited Wu Lang to the Prime Minister's Mansion as a guest. He did not take Ying Zheng seriously at all, and he was not worried at all that it would cause Ying Zheng's dissatisfaction.
The reason why Lu Buwei had such great power in Qin was not because of Ying Zheng's incompetence, but because Ying Zheng's father was supported by Lu Buwei to ascend to the throne of King Qin.
Even Ying Zheng's biological mother Zhao Ji was a concubine of Lu Buwei back then. In addition, Ying Zheng's father died early, and Ying Zheng was only thirteen years old after he ascended the throne, so the power of the entire Qin State was controlled by Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei.
Since Ying Zheng's father died, Zhao Ji was dissatisfied with the loneliness of the deep palace and rekindled his old love with Lu Buwei. He often let him enter the harem to have fun with him. This made Lu Buwei's power in Qin State become more and more deeply rooted, and even Ying Zheng had to call him Zhongfu.
However, as Ying Zheng got older, Lu Buwei found that he was becoming more and more difficult to control, so he wanted to send Xuan Jian to kill Ying Zheng.
As long as Ying Zheng dies, Lu Buwei can support a new Qin king to take office, and he can rest assured to be his prime minister of Qin.
...
The soft moonlight quietly fell on Xianyang City, and a luxurious carriage drove slowly from the National Master's Mansion to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"I am missing the arrival of the National Normal University."
As soon as Wu Lang got off the carriage, a middle-aged man with a gloomy appearance walked out of the prime minister's mansion with a smile.
"You are welcome to be polite to Xiangguo."
Lu Buwei reached out and made a gesture to invite him in, and said with a smile: "I have already asked someone to prepare the banquet. The national teacher will invite you!"
Under the leadership of Lu Buwei, Wu Lang quickly came to a hall where banquets were arranged. There were only two tables in the hall, which means that Lu Buwei only invited him this time.
"Smack it..."
After Lu Buwei brought Wu Lang to the table, he did not rush to explain the purpose of inviting Wu Lang to come this time, but clapped his hands. More than a dozen beautiful dancers in bold clothes immediately came out of the inner hall next to him and began to dance the wine dance for the two.
After three rounds of drinking, Wu Lang saw that Lu Buwei had been chatting with him all the time, but he refused to get to the point. He couldn't help but say helplessly: "Master, do you just tell me if you have anything? I have never like to beat around the bush."
"Okay, since the national teacher is so refreshing, I will speak out loud." Lu Buwei slowly raised the wine glass in his hand, stared at Wu Lang's eyes, and said seriously: "I believe the national teacher should have some understanding of the current situation in Qin State, so I want to figure out which side does the national teacher want to stand on?"
Just as Lu Buwei picked up the wine glass, more than a dozen killers hidden in the dark also showed a trace of murderous aura. As long as he threw the wine glass on the ground, Wu Lang would not want to leave the National Master's Mansion alive today.
Although it is a pity to kill Wu Lang, if he becomes an enemy, the stronger his ability, the more he deserves to die.
After Wu Lang felt the aura of the killer in the dark, he replied without changing his face: "The Prime Minister is joking. I like to refine some pills when I am fine. As long as someone provides me with enough medicinal materials and rewards, I can help him refine pills. As for who this person is, it is not that important to me."
“…”
When Lu Buwei heard this, he pondered for a while, and finally put the wine glass in his hand back on the table.
Although Wu Lang's answer did not meet Lu Buwei's expectations, it did not disappoint him. Wu Lang's attitude of not helping each other could be accepted.
What's more, if Wu Lang really said he was willing to defect to him for the first time, Lu Buwei would feel that this person was unbelievable.
