As a top civil servant, Lu Buwei was conceited and had not failed Qin. Even if Ying Zichu handed over power to Lord Wu An before his death and wanted to get rid of him... he still had to think carefully.
Moreover, Ying Zheng is still underage, and Qin is currently recuperating, and the country still needs itself.
Wu Anjun can fight, that’s right. The army under his command was invincible in the world, and he was undefeated in hundreds of battles, large and small. But in doing business to make the country rich, he is far inferior to himself.
At that time, he had achieved his current status with rare goods. He dared to say that no one in the world's wealthy businessmen could compare with him.
Moreover, what he now... seeks is to be famous throughout the ages, not to be ranked among tens of thousands of people. 'Prime Minister Lu is worthy of being Prime Minister Lu, and he weighs things very clearly.
'To be honest, he quite admires Lu Buwei. He has had a business acumen since he was a child and has become a giant businessman in his middle age.
After seeing through that the traders were just traders after all, relying on the intuition that "unusual goods can be lived in", the investment was still the cheap cousin of Zhao's hostage, and through financial strategies, he finally pushed the cheap cousin to the position of Qin.
It can be said that without Lu Buwei, there would be no King Zhuang Xiang to win over Zi Chu, let alone King Qin to win the government. He... can indeed be said to be a great hero of the Qin State.
It's a pity that the hero at that time is now the powerful one. He had been successful all his life, but because he did not consider his relationship with Zhao Ji clearly, his old age was unknown and he ended up committing suicide.
'Just in case, let's try [Mind Control]. For your own good, it is also for the good of everyone. 'He did not deny Lu Buwei's contribution to the Qin Kingdom, so he gave Lu Buwei several buffs such as 'Serve the Country with Loyalty', 'Observe Rules and Disciplines',... etc.
Didn’t Prime Minister Lu seek eternal fame? Of course, it would be fulfilled. He would not even interfere with the birth of Lu's Spring and Autumn Period.
Except for Prime Minister Lu, everyone present, no matter whether they were civil servants or military attachés, was covered by [Mind Control].
Born as a military commander, he is not good at dealing with the court's calculations, so he can only make the general environment better, right?
But I haven’t changed much. At most, I love life more, am more patriotic, and have more trust in people. If you want to change it more thoroughly, it's not impossible.
Just a little more trouble, and he didn't like trouble. ...Three days later, Zhangtai Palace. Thirteen-year-old Ying Zheng was wearing mourning clothes and sitting on the throne. Queen Mother Zhao Ji was behind him, and below him on both sides were a group of ministers.
On the left is headed by Xu Qingshan, Lord of Wu'an, and on the right is headed by Prime Minister Lu Buwei.
"When my father was still alive, he had already planned a five-year strategy. Xu Qingshan, Lord of Wu'an, took charge of the military, and also had the power to strengthen the army and supervise the dynasty. Prime Minister Lu Buwei..." Although he was only thirteen years old, at this time Ying Zheng showed his imperial appearance for the first time.
His speech was at an appropriate speed and his articulation was clear, and his rhythm was not disrupted by the crowd below. However, it was not the time for Ying Zheng to exert his power at this time. The power of the country was not in his hands at this time, and he would have to wait until he reached adulthood at the age of twenty-one.
"Xu Qingshan obeys the order." At the age of thirteen, to be able to do this, my cheap cousin deserves to be a man named Ying Zheng.
Eight years, only eight years, when the cheap cousin takes charge, his sharp blade will be able to break through the six countries in an instant.
However, this does not mean that the Six Kingdoms cannot be conquered without Ying Zheng. With the current military strength of Qin State, plus his own wall hanging, he can now sweep through the six countries as long as he wants.
It's just that not only did he feel unconscious, but his cheap cousin was probably equally boring. Unifying the world was the dream of the Qin kings of all dynasties, and it was also the dream of Ying Zheng at this time.
The world is unified without even being in charge. Is it interesting to sit on this throne? Can you sit with peace of mind?
"Lu Buwei obeys the order." He is no weaker than anyone in terms of wealthy countries. In these eight years, he will definitely prove his strength and live up to the trust of the late king.
As for the supervision from Lord Wu An, he didn't know anything about it. If he is upright and not afraid of slanted shadows, he will satisfy Lord Wu An.
'Lu Buwei. 'A pretty gaze fell on Lu Buwei, and a glint of unknown meaning flashed in his owner Zhao Ji's eyes.
She knew very well how Lu Buwei rose from a wealthy businessman to his current position as Prime Minister of Qin, step by step.
Looking back on the past years, I am truly filled with emotion. She had to admit that Lu Buwei was determined by his strength.
'Zhao Ji, what does she see me doing? Feeling the gaze of Zhao Ji next to Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei couldn't help but feel doubtful.
His promise back then is still fulfilled today. Now the two have nothing to do with each other. She is the Queen Mother of Qin and the mother of the King of Qin, and she is the Prime Minister of Qin. It is impossible for them to meet in the future.
After all, the power that should have fallen into her hands was now held by Lord Wu An. Although she is the queen mother who supervises the country, she only has the power to make suggestions but not actual power.
'She should be thanking me. After thinking for a moment, Lu Buwei came up with a satisfactory answer.
However, this is what she deserves. Zhao Guo's ten years of suffering can support her current achievements, and there is no need to thank him at all.
He couldn't afford this gratitude. Without responding to Zhao Ji's gaze, Lu Buwei returned to his seat.
'It seems... our cooperative relationship ends here, that's fine. ' Paying attention to Lu Buwei's performance, Zhao Ji thought silently in her heart.
"Your Majesty..." As one of the ministers spoke, the 'meeting' continued. However, although the words were intended to report Yingzheng, the actual decision-makers were Xu Qingshan, the Lord of Wu'an, and Lu Buwei, the Prime Minister on both sides.
Zhao Ji, who was beside Ying Zheng, only had a few suggestions. Although she is the empress dowager who oversees the country, she has little experience in governing the country.
It only took her three years to go from being a hostage to the Empress Dowager of the Prison State, but the Prison State was still too difficult for her.
"What do you think, Queen Mother, Lord Wu'an, and Prime Minister?" Ying Zheng would ask whenever the ministers finished speaking.
Although his ten years as a hostage have tempered his will, his mental quality is better than that of ordinary adults.
However, after three years in the palace, he has not yet mastered the art of governing the country. However, he is smart enough to know who can solve these problems and who can solve them well.
Wu Anjun and Xiangbang are his best right-hand men. As for the queen mother, well, he couldn't force her to help if she could.
"Xiangbang, you come first." When there is a problem, Xiangbang goes first. It's not that he can't answer the question, but if he does, Xiangbang won't have to speak again.
As early as the first night after entering "Tian Xing Jiu Ge", he passed the [Material Distorter] think tank 'Queen'.
With the Queen's computing power and the support of massive data, he couldn't think of how else Xiangbang could speak except 'Me too' if he spoke first.
"Since Mr. Wu An is like this, I will be disrespectful." Wei Wei bowed his hand, this time Lu Buwei became the 'vanguard' again.
After hearing Wu Anjun's words today, I realized that we should not underestimate the warriors in the world. Wu Anjun is slightly better than him in governing the country.
Fortunately, he was not involved in business, otherwise he would have retired and returned home. …………
