Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

While Yang Ming was secretly discussing with Xiong Qi in the study room of Changping Jun's Mansion to join forces to promote the pro-government of Qin Wangzheng, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Qi was also asking his father Lu Buwei about similar matters.

"Father, although the position of internal history does not have the name of Jiuqing, it is a more important position than Jiuqing. Why do you want to hand it over to Ganquan Palace? Doesn't that increase the power of Ganquan Palace?"

"Encourage? That's a good thing, but that's exactly what I meant. I'm not worried that Ganquan Palace is too powerful. I'm just worried that Ganquan Palace isn't powerful enough." Lu Buwei looked at the bamboo slips in his hands, looking thoughtful. meaning.

"Why is this? Ganquan Palace has become increasingly distant from us since Yang Ming appeared." Lu Qi said in surprise.

Although the current Xiangguo Mansion and Ganquan Palace are not enemies, they definitely cannot be said to have a good relationship. However, Lu Buwei wants to increase the power of Ganquan Palace. This is really difficult to understand in Lu Qi's opinion.

"Back then, we cooperated with Ganquan Palace because we were not strong enough and had to join forces to control the situation. But it is different now. Now, I am only worried that my power will be too heavy, so that it will be difficult for me to take full control of myself in the future. Retreat, so we have to find ourselves an enemy." Lu Buwei said.

"Respect yourself by raising bandits?" Lu Qi asked tentatively.

"If you can see this, you are not too stupid." Lu Buwei glanced at Lu Qi and said.

"It's just that after the originally arrogant and domineering Empress Dowager Zhao moved to Ganquan Palace, she suddenly seemed to have changed into a completely different person. She lived in seclusion and became a solitary person. This really surprised me." Lu Buwei said with a look of deep thought.

"She had no intention of intervening in government affairs, which suddenly made me unable to do anything. And Yang Ming was also beyond my expectation."

"Yang Ming is very courageous. He can even be said to be one of the few arrogant people in the world." As Lu Qi spoke, he recalled the information he had learned about Yang Ming, as well as the past, including his interactions with Yang Ming when he was at the Army Guards Mansion. s contact.

"That's true, but he is also very cautious. When the Queen Mother Zhao suddenly became reclusive, I started to check Yang Ming. The information I found shocked me a lot. He actually dared to attack the Queen Mother Zhao. ." Lu Buwei showed a strange look as he spoke.

"It's really surprising. Ever since I learned about that incident, I've been thinking about what kind of person Yang Ming is. He dares to be involved with Queen Mother Zhao like that. It can be seen that he is a bold and reckless person. People are also greedy, so this is actually a good thing for us, after all, Queen Mother Zhao wants to live in seclusion, but Yang Ming may not be willing."

"So, when the Queen Mother Zhao was seeking power for Yang Ming, I helped secretly. After all, if Yang Ming could use the power of the Queen Mother Zhao to integrate the forces that favor the Queen Mother Zhao..."

"Young people are always young and energetic, and Yang Ming is the most energetic among the energetic. As a result, the power of Ganquan Palace will be even greater, and when the time comes, the king will be even more inseparable from us."

"After all, we are just ministers. To the Qin State, we are still outsiders. But the Queen Mother Zhao is different. She is really capable of abolishing and establishing."

"It's just." At this point, Lu Buwei showed a wry smile: "It's just that I was wrong about Yang Ming after all. He seemed bold and reckless, but in fact he was extremely cautious. On the battlefield, he was obviously extremely greedy. But when it comes to political affairs, he is too careful, and he is close to trying to please the Queen Mother Zhao, but it seems that he is not doing it for power at all."

"He doesn't even have a single guest. In such a huge mansion, he only has one maid to take care of his daily life. It's really unusual."

"If this continues, in the power structure of the Qin State, there will be a direct conflict between us and Xianyang Palace. That is not the situation we want. Therefore, we must push Ganquan Palace from behind." Lu Buwei said wisely.

"Isn't Father worried about the dangers of raising tigers?" Lu Qi asked tentatively.

"Based on the relationship between Yang Ming and the Queen Mother Zhao, it is impossible for him to become a fierce tiger. That is something that can kill him at a critical moment. It is impossible for him and the king to be of the same mind. As long as this can be guaranteed A little is enough for us.”

Lu Buwei is indeed the most outstanding politician of this era, and his planning skills are extremely impressive. However, he does not understand Yang Ming. He does not know that although Yang Ming cannot play chess, he can flip the chess board.

Therefore, when he was thinking about how to push Yang Ming and Zhao Ji behind him to the front, Yang Ming went directly to promote the Qin Wangzheng with his own hands.

Zhao Ji's thighs were not only soft, but also very strong. Yang Ming didn't want to fight.

Under the early morning sunshine, the civil and military officials of Qin State walked out of their homes, either by car or on horseback, heading towards Xianyang Palace.

Today is the great dynasty in Xianyang City. Officials who have reached a certain level must enter Xianyang Palace to discuss matters, and the person in charge, Prime Minister Lu Buwei, is no exception. However, Lu Buwei, who is the first person under the throne of the King of Qin, does not have to. Rushing to Xianyang Palace in such a hurry, after all, the more important a person is, the later he will appear.

Sure enough, when Lu Buwei came to the main hall of Xianyang Palace, on both sides of the imperial road in the center of the main hall, the clan dignitaries, civil and military ministers of the Qin State were already lined up on the left and right. Enjoying the eyes of the people around him, Lu Buwei walked to his position. It is the closest position to the throne.

Lu Buwei liked being looked up to by the important ministers of Qin. Back then, he gave up everything he had in Zhao and came to Qin just for power, but now he has what he wants.

It wasn't until he saw Qin Wangzheng and Queen Mother Zhao Ji appearing together that Lu Buwei realized something was wrong.

As Zhao Ji said herself, she likes to have fun most, and she doesn't like things like political achievements at all. Therefore, Zhao Ji rarely appears in the court of Qin. This is why Lu Buwei can monopolize power in Qin. One of the reasons.

But today, Zhao Ji appeared in the court uncharacteristically.

Lu Buwei vaguely felt something was wrong.

"In this Chengxi rebellion, the Guards in the Guards Mansion should be ranked first in terms of merit. I believe that the Guards in the Guards can be promoted to the position of Captain of the Guards to fill the vacancy of the Captain of the Guards." In the Qin Wangzheng Under the instructions, the central doctor ordered to go out and perform the sermon.

The Captain of the Guarding Army, the Chief of the Guarding Palace, with a rank of two thousand stones, among the Qin army, excluding the generals who actually led the troops, in Xianyang, among the military officials, he can be ranked among the top three existences. However, only the three positions of Guowei, Taiwei, and General can stabilize this position.

"Do you have any different opinions?" Qin Wangzheng, who was sitting on the throne, said.

"I second the proposal." One of the nine ministers, Weiwei Lu Jie, came out.

"I second the proposal." Lord Changping and the imperial censor Xiong Qi also came out to agree.

When Lu Jie and Xiong Qi, two people who represented Ganquan Palace and the Chu clan, expressed their attitudes, the ministers belonging to or leaning towards the two sides expressed their attitudes one after another. For a while, all the eyes in the court were turned to Lu Buwei.

Now, all we have to do is wait for Lu Buwei to speak. As long as Lu Buwei speaks, Yang Ming will be promoted to the captain of the guard army, in charge of supervising the armies and evaluating the generals. When the captain is vacant and the leading generals are away, Yang Ming is the leader of Xianyang. Among them, the most popular military minister.

"Yang Mingke is the captain of the army." Lu Buwei said under the gaze of all the civil and military ministers.

"Accurate." Qin Wangzheng finally took out his final tone and said.

Yang Ming, who successfully completed his promotion, walked out of the front position in the left column and bowed to the throne. After thanking him, Yang Ming did not go back, but continued: "Your Majesty is already twenty years old. I would like to ask your Majesty to crown me and take charge of the throne." ."

As Yang Ming's voice fell, the atmosphere in the court became quiet. There was a conspiracy between Yang Ming, Xiong Qi, Zhao Ji, and the Queen Mother Huayang. Since it was a conspiracy, not many people knew about it. Therefore, when Yang Ming When these words are thrown out, it can be said that a situation that is enough to cause a storm is thrown into the deepest pool in the world.

The king is crowned and takes charge? What does this mean?

"I would like to ask your Majesty to crown me and take charge of the government." Xiong Qi walked out again after retreating to the imperial court.

"I would like to ask your Majesty to crown me and take charge of the government." Seeing that Xiong Qi had already expressed his attitude, Chang Wenjun said not to be outdone.

Weiwei Lu Jie's eyes fell on Yang Ming, and he couldn't help but look regretful in his hesitant expression. He slowed down a little, and actually let Chang Wenjun take the lead. Thinking of this, Lu Jie stepped out of the line vigorously and said loudly. : "I would like to ask the king to crown me and take charge of the government."

Lu Buwei also reacted at this time. No wonder the Queen Mother Zhao appeared here today. While thinking for a while, more and more people came out to agree.

"Quiet." Lu Buwei looked back at the ministers. For a moment, the still heated atmosphere suddenly stopped. Lu Buwei's majesty in governing the government for more than ten years was not something he boasted about, but he used his own strength and achievements time and time again. of proof.

"The king is over 20 years old and married. It is time for him to be crowned and to rule. I also ask the king to be crowned and to rule." After suppressing everyone's voices, Lu Buwei said firmly. This is the power that comes from the Prime Minister Lu Buwei.

"Since all the ministers think so, then the king should be crowned and pro-government. The seal and tiger talisman of King Qin are also returned to the government." Zhao Ji, who was behind the curtain diagonally behind the throne, said.

Zhao Ji's clear and melodious voice echoed in the silent hall. Lu Buwei's pupils couldn't help but shrink. Zhao Ji's answer was even better than his imagination. It was easy to say that King Qin's seal should be handed over since he was in charge. However, What about the Tiger Talisman? Zhao Ji actually handed it over directly.

With the tiger talisman in hand, Qin Wangzheng can be said to have truly possessed the sword of royal power, plus the seal of King Qin...

The King of Qin was not just crowned and in charge, but also directly taking power.

However, although Lu Buwei is greedy for power, he is only a minister after all. At this time, he is not much better and can only acquiesce in Zhao Ji's behavior.

This scene fell into the eyes of the ministers in the court, but it was already another matter.
