In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 335 Merit
Xianyang.

The autumn wind has stopped, and the winter cold is everywhere.

The Xiangbang Mansion, which used to be full of people, is much deserted now. Although it is not so crowded, it is also much less popular.

Lu Buwei stood in the courtyard, looking at the old tree that was gradually withering and yellowing, feeling emotional in his heart.

In the few months since Lao Ai's rebellion to the present, everything seems to have changed.

When King Qin began to rule in person, Lu Buwei lost the name of assistant government and left the throne of power. Although he was still the prime minister of Great Qin, he was no longer the person who dominated the world in the past.

The King of Qin is more powerful than Lu Buwei imagined, no matter in the army or in the court, he divides and draws, and draws away the power around him little by little.

However, within a few months, half of the people who had gathered around Lu Buwei had left.And the rest are unpredictable.

Cheng Yu's rebellion almost wiped out all the Korean relatives headed by the Empress Dowager Xia in the past.And the relatives of the Chu family, headed by the Queen Mother Huayang, have become more powerful now that Lord Changping has become the prime minister, and have gradually occupied a lot of voice in the court.

The alliance between Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji is the key to controlling Qin.

Because of this title and righteousness, the native clans and generals of the Qin State, those who have been Qin officials for generations will obey Lu Buwei's orders.At least, they won't object.

After Zhao Ji was imprisoned, Lu Buwei's power was severely damaged.It can almost be said that those Qin ministers had already left from King Qin's side the moment he was in charge.Even, this was already the case long before King Qin came to power.For example, the Meng family.

The rest are the guest ministers promoted by Lu Buwei over the years.They dare not leave Lu Buwei's side because they are afraid that if Lu Buwei falls, they will also be implicated.

The native clans of Qin State had been suppressed by Lu Buwei for too long; however, after that rebellion, this suppression has become less and less effective.

The aristocratic family is planning to promote a big coup to expel Ke Qing.Because only in this way, there will be many seats vacant in the court for their people to take the position.

Those guest qings were also aware of it, and because of this, at this time, they were even more unwilling to give up on Lu Buwei.

However, this relationship is not reliable.

"Xiangbang, Li Si and Han Fei have privately hosted a lot of guests who were originally promoted by Xiangbang in the past few days."

"understood!"

Lu Buwei said lightly, as if he didn't care much about what his spies said.

From the army, the harem to the current court, Lu Buwei can feel that the power puzzle he originally composed is being pulled away piece by piece.

The current situation is stable, but the undercurrent under the water surface is already quite turbulent. Maybe just one accident will set off huge waves.

Lu Buwei was already in danger, but surprisingly, his heart was very peaceful.

Li Si was discovered and promoted by Lu Buwei.Li Si's talent is extraordinary, coupled with his status, he can easily gain the trust of those humble guests.

The other sharper sword was brought back by King Qin.

This is an era that pays attention to bloodlines. Han Fei's identity, talent and knowledge can more easily attract those guest officials, no matter what their origins are.

These two swords are slowly cutting off the last power around Lu Buwei bit by bit.In the end, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold the position of prime minister for long.

"How about Zhao Shuang?"

Lu Buwei's current situation cannot be reversed, because he has lost the hearts of the people.The power of Daqin has returned to the master of Daqin, so naturally he is no longer needed.

"Since Lord Hanyang entered the land of Nanzheng, [-] people have entered the fief one after another. Lord Hanyang suppressed the local barbarians in a short period of time, and is now reclaiming [-] mu of land behind Yingshan Stream."

Lu Buwei smiled, feeling in his heart: This Zhao Shuang is really powerful.

"At this speed, it won't take long for him to fully control the territory."

It's just that Lu Buwei didn't understand why Zhao Shuang, as the head of the family, didn't stay in the prosperous place of Xianyang, but ran to the valley in the land of Bashu?
Feeling depressed, Lu Buwei was deeply caught in the situation, but at this moment he couldn't think of a way to break the situation.

Changping Palace.

"Brother, these days are really happy!"

A smile appeared on Chang Wenjun's face, the anguish of being suppressed by Lu Buwei in the past was swept away, and his heart was full of joy.

Lord Changping is more stable than Lord Changwen, but there is also a slight smile on his face.

"Now, whether it is the generals in the army, the clans from all over the world, or the courtiers in the court, they all want to bring Lu Buwei down. The only thing left is the guest minister he promoted over the years, but under the offensive of Han Fei and Li Si, they began to divide. "

Having said this, Mr. Changping stroked his beard, and seemed to have seen the moment when Lu Buwei fell from power in his eyes.

"It won't be long before Lu Buwei will no longer be the Xiangbang of Daqin."

"It's just that I heard that the children of the aristocratic families have recently joined forces in private to expel Ke Qing. Will it affect us?"

Chang Wenjun was a little worried.After all, they are foreign relatives, and many people from Chu State are attached to them, and many of them are also guest ministers.

"It is indeed worthy of vigilance."

Mr. Changping was also a little worried.During the rebellion not long ago, almost all the clans of the Qin State sided with King Qin.Today, this force has become stronger and has begun to spread towards the court.

After all, the State of Qin adopted the system of conferring military merits.Without military merit, it is impossible to obtain a title.However, even so, you can still fight for a position in the court.

It is impossible for the Qin State to arbitrarily add official positions and increase redundant officials, so the rest can only be taken from the hands of Ke Qing.Once these wolves go crazy, they are afraid that anyone will bite them.

After all, the family of the Qin State didn't like Lu Buwei, but they also didn't like the Chu faction headed by the two brothers of Lord Changping.

But as long as the Empress Dowager Huayang is here, Mr. Changping is not too worried.

"How about that?"

Chang Wenjun's voice made Changping Jun stunned, and suddenly thought of a person——the person Changping Jun didn't want to think of.

"At this time, Zhao Shuang happened to be in Nanzheng."

With Zhao Shuang around, the conflict between Lord Changping and the Qin family would not be so sharp.In this way, it will be easier for him to concentrate his strength and get Lu Buwei down first.

"They or we all know that the enemy at this time is Lu Buwei, and there will not be too much conflict for the time being."

Mr. Changping waved his hand, telling Mr. Changwen not to worry.

"So, should we work harder and let those clans rush ahead and deal with Lu Buwei for us?"

After hearing Changping Jun's judgment, Chang Wenjun felt a little anxious, but Changping Jun stopped him.

"Wait! Only by taking away the last power around Lu Buwei little by little, until there is no left at all, can we make meritorious deeds and kill him with one blow."

Mr. Changping's face was serious, and he was very calm.
