Chapter 176 Superfluous
Xianyang Palace.

Looking at the memorial presented by Lu Buwei on his behalf, Ying Zheng didn't pay too much attention to it, but said to Lu Buwei who was kneeling on his hands, "Father Zhong seems to be very busy these days?"

Lu Buwei, who was waiting for Ying Zheng's answer, was startled when he heard the words. He analyzed the possible deep meaning in Ying Zheng's words, and it was difficult for him to understand why.

His busyness is not just recently. As the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, even though he has already given up the power of regent invisibly, in the power structure of this era, the position of prime minister is in the court of any country. All play an important role.

The busyness that Ying Zheng said was definitely not because of political affairs, it could only be a personal matter.

Lu Buwei has indeed been busy with his personal affairs recently. Whether it is the marriage between his grandniece and Wang Li, or his contribution in the memorial held by Ying Zheng, he is always thinking about his family.

If Lu Buwei wanted to pave the way for his family, in fact, considering his character and the city government, he would not be so high-profile, but he thinks he knows Ying Zheng very well, but he needs such a high-profile.

But he didn't know that if nothing changed, after 20 years, there would be an old man in Qin State whose status was not inferior to his, and he would plan in the same style as Lu Buwei, for himself and for his family.

But Yingzheng is different after all, and besides, Yingzheng doesn't need a retired Lu Buwei.

Whether it is Wang Wan, who Lu Buwei intends to support at this time, or Li Si in the future, or Xiong Qi, the court lieutenant now, for Ying Zheng, they are not suitable for the post of prime minister, either because of talent or loyalty.

Moreover, even in terms of talent, Lu Buwei has to surpass them. In this era, Lu Buwei is enough to become a master of a family, and how could Ying Zheng place such a talent and let him go into seclusion.

After all, Lu Buwei underestimated him.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, as I am getting older, I will naturally worry more about future generations. However, please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will not abolish the public for personal reasons." Lu Buwei, who had difficulty seeing the deep meaning behind Ying Zheng's words, said slightly replied cautiously.

"If Father Zhong was a general, he would be considered young at this age, but Father Zhong is a civil servant. At Father Zhong's age, he should be at his peak at this time." Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slips and said.

"Your Majesty is absurd." Lu Buwei said with a smile.

"Father Zhong doesn't need to test Gu. Gu knows what Father Zhong has done, and Father Zhong also knows the original intention and purpose of doing this." Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei and said.

"But, doesn't Father Zhong feel regretful?" Ying Zheng said solemnly.

Pity?Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng's words were very short, but this time he understood the deep meaning.

Pity?Lu Buwei, who lives in the Great Qin Xiangguo, has already become the pinnacle that can be reached as a minister, so what regrets can he have?Today, he has enough qualifications to be the number one prime minister in the world, but above this number one, Lu Buwei can see another thing.

That is the only one in the world, that is, unparalleled in the world. After all, the number one in the world is not as important as unparalleled in the world.

And when Lu Buwei saw such an opportunity, he also had the qualifications and ability to make this opportunity a reality.

But he also knows a word, everything should not be too much.

While facing that temptation, he was also worried that when that time really came, he would lose the chance to escape unscathed.

After all, there are too many such examples in the history books.

But no matter how many lessons there are, people will eventually waver when faced with enough temptations. This has nothing to do with wisdom, but just a result of temperament.

"Ten years later, what will Father Zhong look like in the world of Zeng Xiangguo?" Ying Zheng continued amidst Lu Buwei's hesitation.

"Ten years later?" Lu Buwei hesitated.

"Now that South Korea is destroyed, the fall of Zhao State is only a year or two away. Yan State and Wei State are small countries, which is nothing to worry about. Qi State keeps its doors behind closed doors, and it is difficult to become a hidden danger. Only Chu State still has some strength to fight with us. The state of Qin resisted, but it was just resisting, ten years later..." Lu Buwei said that he had deduced countless changes in the world.

"Ten years later, the world will belong to the king."

"Yes, ten years later, there will be only one king in this world, the only king, and Xiangguo will also be the only one. Doesn't Father Zhong want to be the only one who surpasses the ancients?" Ying Zheng said in a calm tone. No one can resist the agitation.

Lu Buwei was silent.

Ten years later?

It's not that he doesn't have a prime minister. Ten years later, he will become the only prime minister in the world. That is a position that no one can refuse. But while facing this huge temptation, he knows very well that there is even a huge risk in it.

Today, he has served as the Prime Minister of Qin State for eight years. If everything is as Ying Zheng said, and he is still in office ten years later, it will be 18 years, and I know it will be a longer time.

This time is too long, but time can change everything. 18 years, or even longer, Xiangguo, this matter itself is an extremely dangerous thing.

Faced with the irresistible temptation, Lu Buwei did not dare to gamble. If he still had such courage 20 years ago, if it were not the case back then, the legend of rare goods and living would not have been staged.

However, now Lu Buwei doesn't dare to gamble, he is no longer young, and Ying Zheng is not like his father.

Of course he wanted to be the only one, but he couldn't put his family in danger for his own desire.

"Could it be that Father Zhong thinks that he is lonely and shameless?" Amidst Lu Buwei's entanglement, Ying Zheng expressed Lu Buwei's biggest worry.

"I have never worried about this matter." Lu Buwei said seriously.

This matter, even if he was killed, he would not admit it. He could think about it, but he could never say it. It is fatal for the monarch to doubt his subordinates, but it is even more fatal for his subjects to doubt the monarch.

"The state of Qin is big enough to accommodate Father Zhong," Ying Zheng said.

"I know." Lu Buwei really didn't know what to say at this time.

In this era, the way people speak is like to say half and leave the other half, and the rest must be understood by others. This is a way most people are used to.

Try to figure out the other party's mind in the mutual temptation, so enter and grasp the initiative, especially for people in high positions.

But at this time, Ying Zheng made everything clear, and this method made Lu Buwei at a loss for a while.

When Lu Buwei didn't know how to answer Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng changed the subject on his own initiative.

"Gu has already read Wang Wan's memorial, and it's well written. However, does Father Zhong really think he has the qualifications to follow the path you've walked?"

"Is there something wrong with Wang Wan's memorial?" Lu Buwei asked.

Lu Buwei had read this memorial, but he didn't find any problems in it. Wang Wan's analysis of Zhao's current situation from Zhao's income, expenditure, and taxes was absolutely correct, but Ying Zheng said there was nothing wrong with it. something wrong.

This made Lu Buwei hesitate a little while being puzzled. Is there really something that he didn't see?

"His analysis of the Zhao country is really good. Through those bamboo slips, he can tell the current situation of the Zhao country exactly, which is already a rare talent."

"Unfortunately, he's superfluous." Ying Zheng continued.

Crossed the line?Lu Buwei suddenly said.

At the end of the memorial, Wang Wan's remonstrance against Zhao's strategy is of course very insightful, but he, who is eager to express himself, forgets; one thing, that is his identity.

He is just a censor, not a general.

His memorial has obviously exceeded the scope of his authority, and this, for Wang Wan, not only did not appear as he imagined, but the extra points for his intelligence had a counterproductive effect.

There are too many smart people in the world, but too few smart people who can measure themselves.

"Wang Wan really needs training." Lu Buwei replied after thinking about the key points.

"The memorial is left alone. It's still the same sentence. Qin Guo can tolerate Father Zhong. Father Zhong should not do those things anymore."

"promise."

Lu Buwei knew that although Ying Zheng's extravagance was referring to Wang Wan, why wasn't he referring to him?
