Time is running out, so just move!
Sima Jie returned to Wenleiju and took the people there to pack their things.
Ying Zheng brought Li Si and others to Lu Mansion.
The courtyard is still the same courtyard, but now it is empty of people and everything has changed.
Looking at the familiar scenery in front of me, memories of the past that I once remembered well flooded into my mind.
Lu Buwei hugged Ying Zheng when he was just born. When he got older, Lu Buwei often played with Ying Zheng.
When he was in Ying, Lu Buwei accompanied his father back to Qin. When he was ten years old, he personally came to take him back to Qin.
If it weren't for Lu Buwei, let's not say whether Ying Zheng could have become the King of Qin. He might have been killed by Zhao people in recent years.
Ying Zheng subconsciously regarded Jing Liang, who saved their mother and son, as his benefactor, but in fact, wasn't it Lu Buwei who really saved their mother and son?
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao and asked urgently in a low voice: "Zhao Gao, where did you place Father Zhong?"
"It's not too far. With a fast horse, it's about half a day's journey from Xianyang." Zhao Gao replied.
"Leave this to Li Si. You accompany me to find Father Zhong." Ying Zheng said, turned around and walked out of the door.
Zhao Gaogang wanted to ask something, but when he saw that Ying Zheng had already walked away, he quickly followed him.
The two of them got on their horses, exited the south gate, and galloped straight towards the Qinling Mountains.
"Your Majesty, why are you so urgent?" Zhao Gao slapped the horse's belly and asked in confusion.
"The thousand-year plan I told you a few days ago ignored one family." Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao and said.
"The Lu family?" Zhao Gao asked.
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "That's right. The Lu family is the descendant of the Grand Duke and plays an important role in history. Although Father Zhong has retired, there are still many members of the Lu family hiding in other countries."
"That's right. If the king can make use of them, it will definitely be helpful." Zhao Gao said.
"Even if we don't use these Lu clan members, I still want to hear Father Zhong's opinion on this matter." Ying Zheng said, "After all, Father Zhong is scheming and has a certain understanding of Tiancheng."
Zhao Gao nodded, indicating that he understood.
The two men galloped towards the south.
There is a rather exquisite and spacious wooden house at the foot of a quiet mountain. An old man over fifty years old is sitting leisurely by the river in front of the wooden house, holding a fishing rod in his hand and staring at the slow flow with half-narrowed eyes. The river water seems to be recalling some past events.
In the distance, the sound of horse hooves could be heard faintly, coming from far and near, heading straight towards the wooden house.
The old man came back to his senses and looked in the direction of the sound of horse hooves. He saw two handsome young men galloping towards him, urging their horses to gallop towards him.
At this time, a middle-aged man suddenly ran out of the woods behind the wooden house, came to the old man's side and said, "Uncle, it seems someone is coming."
This old man is none other than Lu Buwei.
"Don't panic, he's here." Lu Buwei put down his fishing rod, stood up and walked slowly towards the direction of the visitor.
"Father Zhong!" Ying Zheng called out as he rushed closer, dismounted from his horse, and ran over.
"Haha, young master, you are here." Although there were no outsiders, Lu Buwei was very cautious in addressing Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng held Lu Buwei's arms and looked at Lu Buwei up and down.
Lu Buwei's appearance has not changed much. Not only is he full of energy, but he is also slightly fatter.
"Father Zhong, are you still used to living here? Have you encountered any difficulties?" Ying Zheng asked with concern.
"Haha, sir, I'm worried. I'm very comfortable and at ease here." Lu Buwei said, "On the other hand, sir, why do you have so much free time today?"
"I missed Father Zhong, so I came over to take a look." Ying Zheng said.
"Okay, let's go into the wooden house and talk." Lu Buwei turned to the man next to him and said, "Lu Wen, let's have some tea."
This common man is Lu Wen.
Lu Wen responded.
, led a few people into the wooden house from the front, and then went to boil water and make tea.
"Your Majesty, have you come here to inquire about something?" Lu Buwei asked.
"Haha, Father Zhong, you must have never imagined that I already know all the secrets of this series." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"Oh?" Lu Buwei looked surprised, "So fast?"
"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded and said, "The man behind the scenes appeared, and he told me the reason for all this, but Father Zhong must have never imagined his true identity."
"Haha, tell me." Lu Buwei said.
Ying Zheng cleared his throat and then recounted his experience after meeting Ji Fa in great detail.
Lu Buwei did not ask any questions to interrupt Ying Zheng, but listened quietly, with slightly wrinkled eyebrows twitching from time to time.
What Ying Zheng said was so unbelievable that even a calm and experienced person like Lu Buwei could not help but feel extremely shocked.
Finally, Ying Zheng talked about the plan he had worked hard to come up with, which was a plan for the next thousand years.
It wasn't until Ying Zheng finished speaking that Lu Buwei took a breath and sighed.
"Unexpectedly, the king's identity is so extraordinary. I have personally trained a savior. What a joy, hahaha..." Lu Buwei laughed.
Ying Zheng smiled slightly awkwardly.
"Compared with my achievements in governing the country, it seems that this is what I should be most proud of in this life." Lu Buwei said to himself, "It is enough to know this in this life, it is enough."
"Father Zhong, what do you think of this thousand-year plan?" Ying Zheng asked.
Lu Buwei stopped laughing, stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty is really far-sighted in such a grand plan. I am both pleased and admired. I just wish I could participate in it and contribute a little to China."
"No, Father Zhong, you have a chance." Ying Zheng said, "The reason why I came here in a hurry is to ask you about this matter."
"Hahaha, at this age, the most I can do is help the king analyze the situation." Lu Buwei said, "Didn't the king also give the Grand Duke's ancestral order in my hands to Lu Wen?"
Ying Zheng looked at Lu Wen and said with a smile: "I just want to discuss the strategy with Father Zhong. Father Zhong will not be stingy with his advice. Besides, you uncles and nephews are of the same mind. Since the Grand Duke's ancestral order is still in the hands of your Lu family, , so what difference does it make in whose hand it is held?"
Lu Buwei stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I have only been at peace for a few days, and the king came to visit me again. Alas, that's fine, let's go over the details together."
"Isn't that right?" Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"The king above said that he would give up the country of Qin. Is this true?" Lu Buwei asked.
"It's true. Although I'm quite reluctant to give it up, for the sake of the grand plan, I want all the descendants to hide themselves after settling all the matters. They will change their surname to Liu and become members of the Zhao clan." Ying Zheng said.
"Yes." Lu Buwei nodded and said, "It is rare to have such a broad mind. However, has the king thought about what to do?"
Ying Zheng shook his head slowly: "I just thought of a more suitable candidate, Liu An's younger brother, Liu Bang, who I just mentioned."
Lu Buwei sighed softly and said: "No matter who takes over the country, as long as he has this virtue, he will not harm the people, but the most critical thing is the subversion of this temple."
"This is exactly the same thing, I haven't understood it yet." Ying Zheng said, "The Qin Dynasty has been in the country for more than four hundred years. It has a profound foundation and strong people. Even if the six countries come to attack, the Qin Dynasty is not afraid at all. These old noble families and How can officials, nobles, and nobles give up their glory so easily? It will definitely become a huge resistance."
"What the king said is absolutely correct." Lu Buwei said slowly, "If a country perishes, it must have
There are several conditions: his emperor is ignorant and promiscuous, his ministers are corrupt and corrupt, his army has no morale, and his people are full of complaints. Looking at ancient and modern times, this is the case for all the countries that have been destroyed. "
"Your Majesty, you said that today's great
Qin, which one does it fit into? "
Ying Zheng frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said, "What do you mean, Father Zhong, if you want Great Qin to be overthrown, you must meet these conditions?"
"Haha, that's right." Lu Buwei said, "Only in this way can the talents of all countries regain their fighting spirit. When the time comes, we just need to let the forces behind us secretly help the Liu Bang you mentioned."
"It's just that these things will all happen after the king retreats from the world. Whether he can control them or not is unknown."
Lu Buwei's words not only reminded Ying Zheng, but also opened up a train of thought and an idea for him.
After thinking for a moment, Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei and said, "Father Zhong, do you think this idea is feasible?"
"Tell me and listen." Lu Buwei said.
Ying Zheng pointed at Zhao Gao and said: "Zhao Gao is one of the people I trust most, and his identity is also the most suitable for carrying out this strategy. First of all, I will not establish a prince during my lifetime, and after my death, I will not establish a prince. , Zhao Gao, who was Hu Hai’s teacher, collaborated with Hu Hai, Fu Su and other princes to fight for power. In the process, the other princes pretended to be killed and secluded themselves with the others.”
"After Zhao Gao gains power, he will use Hu Hai to implement tyranny, which will cause chaos in the government and the common people's complaints. The dignitaries of various countries who are already suffering from the pain of national subjugation will take the opportunity to cause trouble. In this way, even the Qin Dynasty No matter how much the old clan tries to suppress it, they may be unable to do so."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Lu Buwei could say anything, Zhao Gao on the side became nervous: "No, no, how could I do such a rebellious thing?"
Ying Zheng glanced sideways at Zhao Gao and said in a deep voice, "Why, are you unable to bear to harm my descendants, or do you not want to bear this eternal infamy?"
Zhao Gao timidly said: "I don't even want to do it."
Seeing Zhao Gao's dissatisfied look, Ying Zheng laughed angrily: "Looking at your potential, the other ministers have been fighting in the east and west for me, fighting in the north and south, and now I have entrusted you with this thing, You are all pushing back and forth, is it possible that you also want to lead the troops to fight?"
Zhao Gao's scalp felt numb when he was told that, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Slave... just follow your orders!"
"Haha, that's right." Ying Zheng's expression turned from gloomy to bright, "It's just a play. Besides, there are Li Si, Meng Tian and others cooperating with you, so why is it difficult?"
Zhao Gao gained some confidence and said, "That's right, many people may not be able to revitalize the country, but who can't do it to bring trouble to the country?"
"Hahaha, that's right." Ying Zheng laughed.
Looking at the monarch and ministers in front of him, Lu Wen was a little confused.
Others are studying how to seize other people's territory, how to consolidate their own political power, and how to expand their own power.
But what are you studying?
Seeing Lu Wen's confused expression, Ying Zheng chuckled and asked, "Why, you can't understand?"
Lu Wen nodded sincerely: "A little bit."
"You can't understand. This is normal. I struggled for three or four days before I made the decision." Ying Zheng said, "However, I don't want the Lu family to withdraw from the stage of history."
Lu Wen cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, when I received the order from Tai Gong, I told you that Lu Wen would not hesitate to accept your Majesty's orders even if he has to go through fire and water."
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "This matter is not that difficult. It is about the Liu Bang I just mentioned. This person is currently studying abroad. I hope that after you have freed up time in a few years, you can get as close as possible to this place. People, and try to help and support them as much as possible, no matter what method you use."
Lu Wen chuckled and said, "This is really not difficult. I will take the king's orders."
