Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Qin Wangchu sat in this room for a long time.

Qin Wangchu finally left the room after the sky went down.

Soon, a young official named Zhang Han in Xianyang City was transferred to the Shaofu, and his official position was promoted by two levels, which made many people envious.

Cai Ze walked in the corridor of Xianyang Palace, his steps were quite brisk.

One must know that Qin Wangchu had not summoned Cai Ze alone for a long time.

After all, from Qin Wangchu's point of view, Lu Buwei has always been more reliable and trustworthy than Cai Ze.

Cai Ze himself is well aware of this.

However, Cai Ze is still very confident about his prospects in the political arena of Qin State. After all, Cai Ze is now a veteran of the three dynasties, and King Chu of Qin still needs him to check and balance Lu Buwei.

Although it was said that Cai Ze was a little out of breath when he was suppressed by Lu Buwei a while ago, but no, Qin Wangchu will summon Cai Ze immediately, and give Cai Ze a chance to stand up?

During these years in Qin, Cai Ze has experienced ups and downs. He has seen all kinds of situations, and his mentality has already been tempered to calm down a lot.

As long as it has not been completely defeated, then there is still a chance to come back!

With such hope and joy, Cai Ze entered the side hall of Xianyang Palace, and saw King Chu of Qin who was waiting for him here.

As soon as they met, Cai Ze felt very keenly that Qin Wangchu was in a bad mood.

Although it is said that Qin Wangchu has not been in a good mood these days, it is actually very rare to be able to show such a cloudy expression on his face so straightforwardly today.

This made Cai Ze's heart skip a beat, did something major happen?

Cai Ze bowed respectfully to King Qin Chu: "I have seen the king."

Qin Wangchu seemed to be a little out of his mind, so he responded very casually, and said, "Gang Chengjun, sit down."

Cai Ze sat down in his seat, quietly waiting for Qin Wangchu's next words.

But something happened that surprised Cai Ze. Qin Wangchu seemed to regard Cai Ze as air, and sat there silently without speaking. There was an embarrassing silence in the hall.

Cai Ze began to feel a little uneasy.

This situation is completely different from the script that Cai Ze had envisioned before. Could it be that Cai Ze's guess this time was completely wrong? In fact, Qin Wangchu asked Cai Ze to come here, and it was not at all to support Cai Ze's faction and let Cai Ze regain peace. Lu Buwei's countervailing power?

Just when Cai Ze was going up and down, not knowing what to do, Qin Wangchu finally spoke slowly.

"Gang Chengjun, I know that you and Wu Chengjun have always been at odds."

Cai Ze was stunned for a moment, coughed dryly, and said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, there is not much prejudice between the subject and Mr. Wu Cheng, it's just a matter of political disagreement."

What Cai Ze said was both right and wrong.

It is right because Cai Ze and Lu Buwei do not have any personal grievances, and they have become political enemies because of their positions.

It is wrong to say that in the officialdom, political differences are more likely to kill people than personal grievances.

If there is a chance to kill Lu Buwei without arousing Qin Wangchu's disgust, then Cai Ze will definitely do it without hesitation, and the reverse is also true for Lu Buwei.

Qin Wangchu snorted, and said: "Gang Chengjun, don't talk such nonsense in front of the widow. The widow asked you, do you always want to replace Wu Chengjun?"

As soon as Qin Wangchu said these words, Cai Ze began to sweat a little.

Although the entire state of Qin knows that Cai Ze really wants to replace Lu Buwei, but there is no need for you to say so directly, my lord, right?

Who doesn't know that Lu Buwei is your king's number one confidant, if I, Cai Ze, really say that in front of you, will your king give me a good face?

But now that Qin Wangchu asked him face to face, it's impossible for Cai Ze not to answer, right?

The scene suddenly became a little awkward.

Qin Wang Chu couldn't get Cai Ze's response for a long time, and suddenly frowned, and said in a very dissatisfied tone: "Why, is the widow's question really so difficult to answer?"

Cai Ze's heart skipped a beat, knowing that this was a sign that Qin Wangchu was about to get angry.

How to do?

Cai Ze felt that he was in a dilemma.

At this moment, Cai Ze's heart suddenly moved, and a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.

Speaking of which, Cai Ze himself knew that this question was difficult to answer, so didn't Qin Wangchu know?

Since Qin Wangchu also knew that the question he just asked was difficult for Cai Ze to answer, but he still asked it, what does this mean?

Could it be that Qin Wangchu has actually noticed a change in his mind, and he is not very repulsed by Cai Ze's replacement of Lu Buwei?

Cai Ze thought about it carefully, and found that it seems to be possible!

After all, it was Lu Buwei who was suppressing Cai Ze to fight these days, and Cai Ze was completely on the defensive, too busy to take care of himself, and had no time to make trouble at all.

Only when Lu Buwei did something, could Qin Wangchu be so angry.

Who cares, bet!

Cai Ze took a deep breath, raised his head suddenly, and said firmly to Qin Wangchu: "Your Majesty, I don't have any opinion on Wu Chengjun himself. I just think that if we really follow Wu Chengjun's way to govern Great Qin, sooner or later Great Qin will It died in the hands of Lord Wu Cheng! So I really want to pull Wu Chengjun from the position of Xiangbang, but it is not because of my selfishness, but because of my loyalty to the king and to the whole Great Qin!"

Cai Ze's words were full of cadence and contagion, the white beard under his jaw fluttered non-stop with the movement of his mouth, and his acting skills can be said to have been fully utilized.

After saying these words, Cai Ze anxiously waited for Qin Wangchu's statement.

The current Cai Ze's power has been suppressed to the extreme by Lu Buwei. If he made a wrong bet this time and aroused Qin Wangchu's anger, then it is very likely that Cai Ze will never have a chance to stand up again.

King Chu of Qin looked at Cai Ze quietly, and said after a while, "Mr. Gang Cheng, I have something to tell you."

Cai Ze hurriedly said, "Please speak, Your Majesty."

King Qin Chudao: "I suspect that Li Mu attacked Xianyang twice before, and those insiders were instigated by important officials in the Great Qin Dynasty. According to the latest clues I found, this incident may have something to do with Wu Chengjun. Now I will hand this matter over to You, you must check it out for the widow!"

Cai Ze was taken aback by Qin Wangchu's words.

But after being surprised, Cai Ze suddenly felt a burst of ecstasy.

This is an excellent opportunity to bring down Lu Buwei!

Outside Gaowan City, the Zhao army camped.

Li Mu stood quietly on top of his chariot, watching more than a dozen thunderstorms pass through the sky, and then exploded on the top of the Qi people's city and in the city.

Bursts of smoke rose from the top of the Qi people's city, and Li Mu could even see patches of fire on the top of the city.
