The next day, Ziyou felt that those who followed them had withdrawn.
"Lu Buwei's movements are not slow." Ziyou said while holding the carriage.
"After all, he is also a powerful figure in the Qin Kingdom. Our Yin and Yang family had contact with him before, but the final result was very bad." Concubine Yan said.
"Oh? The Yin Yang family has also come into contact with Lu Buwei? Aren't your Yin Yang family afraid of getting burned?" Ziyou was stunned. What the Yin Yang family is best at is predicting the future through celestial phenomena and evacuating from disasters. Although Lu Buwei has great power now, he understands that everyone Knowing that he is now in extreme danger.
In the court of Qin, although Lu Buwei could dominate the sky with one hand, his foundation was too shallow. Although he successfully won the hearts and minds of the old Qin people through a series of means and wars, giving him the capital to dominate the sky with one hand, the allegiance of the old Qin people was always only to Qin. The royal family, not Lu Buwei, the old-school forces such as the Ying clan and the Chu clan are watching the court. Especially the King of Qin Ying Zheng has gradually begun to get involved in the affairs of the Qin court. Lu Buwei, an outsider, is in danger no matter what.
"I don't know, this is what Lord Dong Huang said back then, but after being rejected, the Yin Yang family's power in Qin was targeted." Concubine Yan shook her head and said, speaking of the fact that when the Yin Yang family contacted Lu Buwei, she was not Dong Jun. , so she doesn’t know much, but she heard that Lu Buwei rejected the Yin Yang family very forcefully.
"It's a rare thing to live in. Your Yin and Yang family wants to play this trick with this legendary merchant." Ziyou looked at Concubine Yan sideways and said. Now it seems that Lu Buwei has only two ways to go, one is to usurp the throne, the other is to give up power and run away early. However, the latter knew that it was impossible without even thinking about it, so the Yin and Yang family wanted to test Lu Buwei's first way, but in the end he was still sober.
Although there were three families in the past who were promoted to the Jin Dynasty, and the Tian family succeeded them in the Qi Dynasty later, look at the outcome. What's more, the Qin Dynasty court is not like the Tian family at the beginning, and there is no one else except Lu Buwei.
"Sir, you think Lu Buwei is untouchable, why do you want to touch him again?" Xue Nu asked.
"People always have to try. What if you succeed?" Ziyou said calmly.
"What are you trying?" Concubine Yan stuck her head out of the carriage and asked.
"You are the only one who is very curious!" Ziyou said, flicking Concubine Yan's forehead.
"But Mr. Ziyou? My master is waiting for you in front." A middle-aged man in rich clothes stopped Ziyou's carriage and said.
Ziyou glanced at the pavilion in front of him. A middle-aged man in a brocade robe was sitting in the pavilion. There were two cups of tea on the table. There were four people standing around the pavilion. One of them had met Ziyou and the others. Zhen Gang, the other three are Duanshui, Luan Shen, and Xiao Ming, all of whom are sword masters of the Eight Swords of Yue Wang, and each of them is an experienced master.
"I understand, please wait for me, steward," Ziyou said.
"Sir, you're welcome. I'll just wait aside." The steward took a step back and said.
Ziyou opened the car curtain and said to Concubine Yan and Xue Nu inside.
"I'm going to see Lu Buwei. You guys wait here."
"Okay sir." The snow girl nodded and said.
Concubine Yan bit her lip and nodded.
Ziyou nodded to the steward and got out of the carriage. Under the leadership of the steward, Ziyou came to the pavilion.
"Marquis Wenxin." Ziyou saluted Lu Buwei.
"You're welcome, Mr. Ziyou, please sit down." Lu Buwei stood up and said in return.
After the two sat down, Lu Buwei waved his hand and said
"You all, please step back. Mr. Ziyou is here and I am safe."
The four snare killers looked at each other, nodded and retreated. The steward also walked out of the pavilion and waited on the side.
"Marquis Wenxin believes in me so much, which makes me a little flattered." Ziyou did not expect that Lu Buwei would withdraw all his guards, and at the same time he became even more curious about what Lu Buwei was going to do.
"Mr. Ziyou's reputation is known throughout the seven countries and he is known as a gentleman. I believe that Mr. Ziyou will not do anything to a stranger like me." Lu Buwei said.
"Marquis Wenxin is so polite, but in terms of reputation, I am not one ten thousandth as good as Marquis Wenxin. From merchants to princes and ministers, who among the seven kingdoms can compare with you?" Ziyou boasted.
Lu Buwei also laughed out loud when he heard Ziyou say this, with a hint of reminiscence on his face and said
"Back then, I was a merchant who was lucky enough to befriend and fall in love with the late king. I helped the late king return to the Qin Kingdom, helped the late king ascend the throne, and finally became a prince and prime minister. Now that I think about it, I really miss those days."
Ziyou didn't speak, but waited quietly for Lu Buwei.
"It's too cold to live in high places. Although I achieved the title of marquis and prime minister, and gained all the power in the world, I also lost a lot. The older you get, the easier it is for you to sigh." Lu Buwei said with emotion in the middle of his sentence.
The corner of Ziyou's mouth twitched. What you always said is so obvious. Wouldn't it be inappropriate if I didn't talk to you? But Ziyou didn't answer but said
"Yes, my teacher Xun Fuzi often feels this way too."
Lu Buwei was stunned, then laughed and said
"I underestimated you sir. I am looking for you this time to ask him to help me solve my doubts?"
"Marquis Wenxin can tell me and let me listen, but I dare not say that I can help Marquis Wenxin clear up his doubts." Ziyou said.
Lu Buwei sighed and then began to say
"The reason for looking for sir this time is for two things. First, I want to ask him about my future."
"Marquis Wenxin should consult a Taoist about his future." Ziyou said, does this mean he is a fortune teller? What's more, Lu Buwei's current situation has only one way forward, which is to usurp the throne, but this is definitely a path of death, and Ziyou will not help him.
"It's exactly what the Taoist Taoist Master Beimingzi said about my future. Only Mr. Ziyou can help me. The Taoists are powerless." Lu Buwei said. He also knew that he was in danger now. Although it seemed that he could cover the sky with one hand in the Qin Dynasty court, Huayang The Queen Mother, the Ying clan, the Chu clan, and the military were all eyeing him. Even Ying Zheng, who he supported with one hand, separated from him for the sake of power.
Old man, Ziyou secretly scolded Bei Mingzi. Wasn't he the one who tricked Bei Mingzi in the first place? In the end, Bei Mingzi tricked him here. If the Taoist really wanted to help Lu Buwei, it would be a simple matter, but the Taoist knew that this was a pit of fire, so they asked Ziyou to jump, but Ziyou had to jump.
"I wonder if Marquis Wenxin wants to be Duke of Zhou or Lord Tu'an?" Ziyou asked, looking at Lu Buwei.
Looking at Ziyou's bright eyes, Lu Buwei fell silent. It's not that he had never thought about going further, but the risk was too high for him to dare to gamble. He was no longer the businessman he was before, and his current position of power made it impossible for him to take the gamble anymore. To make a big gamble, especially when Zhao Ji told him that Ying Zheng was his child, this made him even more cut off from the possibility of that step.
"If you could be the Duke of Zhou, who would be willing to be like Tu Anjia?" Lu Buwei said.
"Since Marquis Wenxin has already made a choice in his mind, you should know how to choose. You should break some things when they should. You must know that the king of Qin will be the king of the world in the future. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight." Ziyou said.
In fact, he knew what Lu Buwei was thinking. Zhao Ji deceived Lu Buwei that Ying Zheng was his child, so he really regarded Ying Zheng as his child, thinking that he would help Ying Zheng handle all the things until Ying Zheng had enough strength. After that, he gave the power to Ying Zheng, but unfortunately it happened here. In the eyes of a father, children will never grow up.
"The future king of the world!?" Lu Buwei stood up suddenly and looked at Ziyou in disbelief. Although he still held a high position, he was still shocked by these words, and then looked at Ziyou meaningfully.
Ziyou also nodded and looked at Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei sat down again, looked at Ziyou with a complicated expression and said
"This is a blessing for our country, Qin."
Lu Buwei did not expect that this visit to Ziyou would bring an extra surprise. The courts of the Seven Kingdoms were all looking forward to Ziyou's choice, but he did not expect that Ziyou would choose Qin. Ziyou's current choice is enough to affect the situation of the entire Seven Kingdoms. Not only because of his personal influence, but also because of the Confucianism behind him. Confucianism has regarded Ziyou as its own card. If its own card is to choose which country to seek refuge in, that country is Confucianism's choice.
