Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

The title of conferring a king is like Chinese cabbage to the royal family, but it is too rare for people who are not royal, especially ministers.

Now that Lord Wu An has fallen, in the entire Qin court, besides Gang Chengjun Cai Ze, there is only Lu Buwei, Wu Chengjun.

Moreover, the title Wu Anjun has the word "Wu", which is equivalent to admitting that Lu Buwei's martial arts has reached the highest level. This is a very important affirmation, and it is a bit more advanced than Cai Ze's Gang Chengjun.

In this way, no matter whether it is a title or an official position, Lu Buwei can be said to be a truly extremely human minister.

Although everyone knew that the crown prince would definitely reward him generously, no one expected that this reward would be so generous!

Lu Buwei was also very surprised by this reward. It took several seconds before he came back to his senses, and immediately bowed deeply to the prince in front of him, and said loudly: "Thank you, the prince, for the reward. Repay the prince's appreciation!"

At this moment, the joy in Lu Buwei's heart was not faked at all.

At the beginning, Lu Buwei never thought that he would be able to get the position of Xiangbang, but he did not expect that the prince would give this position of Xiangbang to Lu Buwei, and he also gave it to him as a monarch.

From this point of view, the prince was absolutely benevolent in treating Lu Buwei.

The crown prince smiled slightly, and said to Lu Buwei: "Wu Chengjun, please help me govern the country well from now on!"

Contrary to Lu Buwei's elation, Cai Ze, who was standing on the other side of the hall, was as if struck by lightning, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Cai Ze never expected that things would turn out like this.

You must know that at the beginning, when Lu Buwei persuaded Cai Ze and Lu Buwei to join forces, the two had already agreed that after the matter was completed, Cai Ze would be the Xiangbang, and Lu Buwei would be the Yushi doctor.

But now the Xiangbang position that should belong to Cai Ze has been obtained by Lu Buwei!

The color of Cai Ze's face changed from blue to white, and then gradually from white to red.

angry red.

Cai Ze felt that he had been deceived.

A kind of anger from the bottom of his heart slowly surged out from his body, eventually covering every corner of Cai Ze's body, and Cai Ze's gaze towards Lu Buwei gradually became hatred.

Damn Lu Buwei, you actually lied to me!

At this moment, Cai Ze no longer had any joy of victory in his heart, only unparalleled hatred in his heart.

Hatred for Lu Buwei.

Although it was said that the prince was the one who made the appointment, in Cai Ze's view, if Lu Buwei hadn't played tricks in it, then the position of Xiangbang should clearly belong to Cai Ze himself.

Just when Cai Ze was full of resentment, the prince's eyes suddenly turned and fell on Cai Ze.

The next moment, the prince also spoke to Cai Ze with a smile on his face.

"Gun Chengjun, you have also made great contributions in this judgment. I have decided that from today onwards, Gang Chengjun Cai Ze will be the imperial censor."

Doctor Yushi is also among the three princes of the Qin State, and belongs to the same rank as the Xiangbang Taiwei, and is also of high position and weight.

Considering that Cai Ze's title has no room for improvement, this is already a very generous reward, second only to Lu Buwei.

But at this moment, when this appointment reached Cai Ze's ears, there was no trace of joy in Cai Ze's heart.

Cai Ze took a deep breath, bent down towards the prince, and said flatly, "Thank you, old minister, for your kindness."

Seeing the expression on Cai Ze's face, the prince's eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't say anything, he just smiled and said: "In this case, then I will ask Gang Chengjun to help Wu Chengjun a lot in the future, so that we can govern the country together." yes."

As soon as Cai Ze heard the prince's words, he didn't like it at all, but in the end he could only bow and say: "Please rest assured, the prince, I will cooperate sincerely with Wu Chengjun to satisfy the prince and the people of Qin."

Lu Buwei on the side looked at Cai Ze's tone of yin and yang, his face couldn't help changing slightly, and he sighed secretly in his heart.

What a smart person Lu Buwei is. After a short period of shock at the beginning, he has now fully understood what the prince meant.

The reason why the Crown Prince of Qin awarded him such a reward was actually to check and balance.

According to common sense, it is indeed Gang Chengjun Cai Ze who is more qualified to take over as Xiangbang.

But the problem is that Cai Ze and Lu Buwei are allies.

If Cai Ze and Lu Buwei completely control the government, then the prince will be in danger of being ostracized.

It was precisely to prevent himself from being ostracized that the prince made such an appointment.The positions that Lu Buwei and Cai Ze should have obtained were switched.

In this way, Cai Ze must have hated Lu Buwei in his heart.

Now that he hated Lu Buwei's words, Cai Ze and Lu Buwei must have turned against each other.

So after these three giants became two giants, the two factions of Lu Buwei and Cai Ze still confronted each other in the political arena of Qin State, and the crown prince, as the highest leader, was able to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, easily controlling the highest level among checks and balances. power.

But to be honest, even if he wanted to understand this, Lu Buwei actually didn't have much complaints in his heart.

After all, at the beginning, Lu Buwei's plan was to get Mi Chen down first, and then after Mi Chen fell from power and Cai Ze came to power, Lu Buwei would find another opportunity to get Cai Ze down as well, and then he would be the prime minister.

Now after such a reward from the crown prince, Lu Buwei directly became Xiangbang. To be honest, it saved Lu Buwei a lot of things.

As for the hostility with Cai Ze, Lu Buwei didn't take it seriously.

In any case, as long as Lu Buwei still wants the position of Xiangbang, he will definitely have a conflict with Cai Ze. It doesn't matter if the conflict happens sooner or later.

Thinking about it, the smile on Lu Buwei's face became more intense.

Rewards continue.

In addition to Lu Buwei and Cai Ze, many other heroes were also awarded.

For example, Miyagi was firmly guarded, and Bai Qi was not allowed to enter Miyagi to take over Wei Liao of the Imperial Guard.

Another example is that he led the army to arrive in time and did not allow Sima Jin to attack Wang Jian, who succeeded in Ganquan Palace.

There are a bunch of other people who have been rewarded.

It's just that compared to other people's rewards, the rewards of the two giants of Qin, Lu Buwei and Cai Ze, are undoubtedly the most important and attract the most attention from everyone, and they will definitely be in a very long period of time. Time determines the political situation in the entire Qin State.

After announcing these appointments, the Prince of Qin comforted and exhorted the ministers present, and then announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Although the ministers had already left one after another, Lu Buwei was kept by the prince.

Lu Buwei suppressed the excitement in his heart, bowed respectfully to the prince in front of him and said, "I don't know what the prince wants to tell Yu Chen?"

According to Lu Buwei's previous experience, this is because the prince has something to tell him.

To Lu Buwei's surprise, the prince had a hesitant expression on his face and hesitated for a long time.

After a long while, the prince said slowly: "Well, Lu Qing, Bai Qi is now being imprisoned in the side hall, why don't you go and see him off!"

When Lu Buwei heard the prince's words, he was stunned.
