Chapter 298 Undercurrent
Xianyang, Xiangbang Mansion.
Guests gathered outside the mansion, and many of them were scholars from the six kingdoms of Shandong, who wanted to present a letter of advice to win Lu Buwei's favor, and thus get promoted.
The reform of the Shang monarch turned Qin into a war machine, and at the same time gradually broke the tradition of nobles monopolizing the military, allowing civilians and even slaves to gain access to promotion, and also recruited many military talents for Qin.
For example, Meng Ao, who was originally from the state of Qi, was reused in the state of Qin.Since then, the Meng family has taken root in Qin State and gradually became a powerful military family.
Lu Buwei is a native of Wei. When he entered the Qin Dynasty, he had no foundation and had nothing but money. Of course, even though Lu Buwei had money, he was useless in front of bloodline and identity.
The reason why he was able to rise so quickly was the trust and support of King Qin Zhuangxiang.Because the latter, as a proton, is also groundless.
Lv Buwei worked together vertically and horizontally, grasping the pain point of the Queen Mother Huayang's childlessness, and quickly established an alliance within the Qin State with Ying Yiren as a bond.So much so that the power structure within the Qin State today is still inherited from the period of King Qin Zhuangxiang more than ten years ago.
With one move, Lu Buwei can live in a rare commodity. While becoming the prime minister of Qin under one person, it also accelerated the trend of Qin State absorbing talents from the six Shandong countries.
Because of his attributes and actions, he is doomed to be unable to cooperate with the native Qin family.
In the past ten years, there have been more and more guest officials in Qin State.A large number of tourists from outside the pass, among them the talented ones, were used by Lu Buwei, and they filled the whole state of Qin.
And the rest gathered in front of Xiangbang Mansion day and night, wanting to be favored.However, not everyone is like Li Si, who has the courage and ability to be favored by Lu Buwei.
A carriage gradually approached, and the guards of Xiangbang Mansion separated from the crowd.The tourists gathered outside Xiangbang's mansion were a little curious, who is in this undecorated carriage?
As the carriage door opened, the answer was gradually revealed, and those with sharp eyes had already seen the appearance of the person getting off the carriage.
Zhao Shuang!
Many people chanted this name in their hearts, with doubts on their faces.
The conflict between Ke Qing and the family has a long history and has gradually become acute. Now, it has become a conflict between the various families of Qin and Lu Buwei, and it has reached the point of endless death.
Everything is hidden in undercurrents, but no one doubts that the power hidden under the surface of the water will cause huge waves once it erupts.And the power brought by this wave will devour all the dignified people in Xianyang City today.
Among the aristocratic clan, the Hanyang Lord Zhao Shuang is the one who is in the limelight.He rose rapidly a few years ago, although he had no official position, but today, he has become an existence that no one can ignore.
A year ago, Lord Chang'an rebelled, and many clans were implicated, and many of them were protected by Lord Hanyang, thus saving their lives.
This also made Lord Hanyang's power stronger...
Many people thought about it, but it was even more strange.
Why did Zhao Shuang come to Xiangbang Mansion at this time?And looking at the attitude of the guards in the Xiangbang Mansion, they seem to be very respectful.
It is not as suspicious as outside the mansion, but Xiangbang's mansion is very clean.
The place where Lu Buwei entertained Zhao Shuang was in the side hall next to the central hall—a rather private place.
Standing in the hall, Lu Buwei waved slightly when he saw Zhao Shuang coming.
"Mr. Hanyang is tired from afar, please sit down."
"Thank you Xiangbang!"
When the host and guest are seated, they seem to be very happy with each other.However, the sudden appearance of a person changed the originally harmonious scene.
"Lao Ai met Xiangbang, and Lord Hanyang!"
Lai Ai was standing in the hall without a single seat.Lu Buwei didn't seem to care about Lao Ai, so he stood there stupidly, drinking with Zhao Shuang all the time.
"Why is Chang Xinhou still standing there, sit down!"
After a long time, Lu Buwei seemed to remember it, and invited Lai Ai to sit down.The other party blushed, but he also thanked him knowingly and sat down.
The ranking in the mansion: Lu Buwei is the leader, Zhao Shuang is the second, and Lai Aijing is the last.Basically, at this banquet, only Lu Buwei and Zhao Shuang spoke, and Lao Ai was not qualified to speak at all.
"Hanyang Lord, will you gain something from this trip to the Central Plains?"
"Shuang was originally a remote and humble person. Recently, he was in charge of my king. He bought a congratulatory ceremony and passed through South Korea. He met a thieves on his way. Fortunately, he was helped by the state and bestowed with a soldier talisman, so he was able to escape the crisis." Zhao Shuang smiled and glanced at Lai Ai , "I heard that Marquis Changxin's family soldiers were originally in Sanchuan, and they also suffered from this bandit?"
Lai Ai looked at the old and the young in front of her, and was furious in her heart, but she couldn't do it.Maybe it was because he was so angry that he was a little awkward when he spoke.
"This, this, me."
Seeing that Lai Ai's words were unfavorable, Lu Buwei interjected.
"That giant bandit is really abominable. The generals under his command reported to the police that they found Changxinhou's army stronghold on fire at night. When they went to rescue them, they only saw the corpse of General Ji. The giant bandit had disappeared. .”
Lu Buwei sighed leisurely, looking very regretful.
"General Jie was also a brave general. It's a pity that he died in that unknown place."
"Yes! What a pity!"
Having said that, Zhao Shuang clapped his hands, and Xuan Jian, who had been staying outside the mansion, led people into the hall and placed six long boxes on the short case.
"Mr. Hanyang, this is..."
Lu Buwei seemed a little puzzled, but when the box was opened, an inexplicable expression appeared on his face.
When Lao Ai saw the contents in the box, she stood up suddenly, her blood was surging and her complexion was complicated.
Chaoshen, Zhengang, Duanshui, Yaoyao, Zhuanhun, Miepo, seven long swords are placed in six boxes, and the blades are dull and dull.
Sharp weapons are originally accompanied by blood, but at this moment, they are like accessories, showing off something.
"The net is a sharp weapon, but there will be gains and losses in the disputes between the rivers and lakes. I have been in the Central Plains for several months, and after many rounds, I found these swords. Today, I specially brought them here and sent them to Lord Changxin." Zhao Shuang said, talking sharply Turn around, "This time, don't lose it again."
Lu Buwei looked at this scene and didn't care about it at all.
Lai Ai clenched her hands tightly, her complexion turned from red to purple, and the veins on her face were bulging. She tried her best to suppress the killing intent and resentment in her heart; in the end, he turned the killing intent and resentment in his heart into a bow, and bowed. Words: Thank you, Your Majesty!
"Come on, Master Changxin is not feeling well, please help him go down to rest first!"
Lu Buwei smiled lightly, and attracted people to help Lao Ai go down first.
"Your Majesty is really a good trick!" Lu Buwei looked at Lai Ai's disappearing figure, and smiled leisurely, "It's just that a fierce beast is a fierce beast after all, if you beat it and humiliate it, the revenge in the future will only be more vicious."
Zhao Shuang smiled and looked at Lu Buwei.
"Then Xiangbang expects the revenge of this beast?"
Lu Buwei smiled and didn't say a word, just raised the cup in his hand and drank with Zhao Shuang.
