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

Chapter 347 Walking on Thin Ice
The lights are dim, and in the huge palace, separated by a pool of clear water, the monarch and his subjects are facing each other.

"Xiangbang is about to retire."

The young King Qin stood up, looked at Lu Buwei who was ten steps away, and said softly.

"I'm getting old, not as good as before, so old that I can't even deal with the schemes of Lao Ai and others."

Qin Wang sighed, and seemed to be a little emotional.

"I still remember that when I was young in Handan, I was hostile by the Zhao people, and only my mother and queen protected me. It was Xiangbang's trick to bring me and my mother back to Xianyang."

The King of Qin recalled word by word, when he talked with Lu Buwei, he was very peaceful without the calculation and courteousness of the monarch and ministers in the past.

"Then I returned to Xianyang, but it was even more dangerous than the journey back to Qin. It was also Xiangbang's tricks that allowed the widow and the mother to settle down in Xianyang."

"It's just that no matter how scheming you were in the past, once you get old, everything will change."

King Qin's words caused Lu Buwei to sigh.

"People are always getting old."

"Is it?"

The young king of Qin was like the rising sun, full of vitality, unable to understand Lu Buwei's state of mind at this time.

"Henan is a good place. Since Xiangbang intends to retire, let's go to the country!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lu Buwei cupped his hands and slowly retreated.However, before he left, he heard King Qin's voice behind him.

"What does Xiangbang think of Zhao Shuang?"

Lu Buwei shuddered, turned around, lowered his head, and said with cupped hands.

"Only the holy king can control tigers and leopards, and make dragons." Lu Buwei's eyes changed when he said this, "He can also kill them!"

"The widow understands!"

Beside the Wei River, there are water pavilions and pavilions.

In the old place, the cook and the boss presented his famous dishes, but the young man opposite Lu Buwei was amazed.

"This collection of mountain treasures is really full of color and fragrance, and the boss's craftsmanship is really extraordinary."

Zhao Shuang sat across from Lu Buwei, smiling and praising him.

Lu Buwei picked up the chopsticks, and at this time he was completely free of the constraints of being the Great Qin Xiangbang in the past.

"The taste is really good!"

"Xiangbang is far away from the official, but he is not lonely at all, on the contrary, he is very happy."

Lu Buwei drank the wine, and the cook beside him poured another glass.

"I left Xianyang, which means that I have withdrawn from this power struggle. However, even so, it does not necessarily mean that other people have won."

"indeed so!"

Zhao Shuang smiled, tasted the dish in front of him, and nodded.

"Even if Marquis Wen Xin is not the Xiangbang, he is still a Marquis of Che, with [-] households in the city, and he is still an important person in the Qin Dynasty."

"Hanyang Lord has [-] households in Shiyi, which is not much worse than this old man."

Zhao Shuang complained in his heart: Is there not much difference between [-] and [-]?
"Luoyi is the center of the world, one of the most prosperous places, but Nanzheng is far away, so it can't be compared."

Zhao Shuang's seemingly modest words made Lu Buwei smile.

"The old man is gone. This Xianyang is afraid that Chu people will be in power, and the king and his subordinates are afraid that they will get into trouble from now on."

In the past, in order to deal with Lu Buwei, the Qin family and the Chu faction headed by Lord Changping would join forces.But now, the greatest enemy has fallen silently, so the alliance between them has also come to an end.Not long ago, the battle that almost broke out between the Mo family and the peasant family on the rivers and lakes is proof.

"They are all ministers of the Great Qin. How can there be any trouble if they serve the Great Qin?"

Lu Buwei raised his eyebrows, the kid in front of him is really cunning!Not a word of truth.

"Forget it, how is Hanyang Jun's business? I heard that the Yue clan bought [-] pieces of Shu brocade from Junshang, and they must have made a lot of money."

Lu Buwei was born as a merchant, so he naturally knew the value of this ten thousand Shu brocade.In Xianyang City, a piece of ordinary Shu brocade is worth a thousand dollars, and high-quality products can be sold for five or six thousand dollars, or even ten thousand dollars.

And selling it to a barbarian land, the price can even increase by more than ten times.Some barbarian monarchs even bought dozens of fine horses for a good Shu brocade.

Da Yueshi did not popular Qin coins, so naturally they could only exchange them with gold, silver or utensils.And the price difference can make a fortune.

"That's two floors more than the market price."

Lu Buwei was taken aback for a moment, adding two layers, which seemed to have made a profit, but compared to the prices offered by other merchants in Xianyang, it was undoubtedly a lot less.

"I've already negotiated with those members of the Da Yue Clan to open up a trade route so that we can communicate with each other in the future. If Xiangbang is willing, he can also send the goods from the Central Plains to Xianyang and transport them to Longxi."

"Your Majesty is a good plan!"

Lu Buwei smiled, compared to a sale, long-term benefits are worth pursuing.

A banquet ended amidst the sound of conversation.

As Zhao Shuang left, Lu Buwei stood up and looked at the cook who had been waiting on him from the beginning to the end.

"I didn't hear what I wanted to hear, I must be very disappointed!"

The cook was taken aback for a moment, and became wary in his heart.

Lu Buwei smiled and looked at the cook.

"Tell Huayang that I lost, but she can't win either. This game of chess is far from over. You Chu people, don't be too happy."

The cook's eyes widened, Lu Buwei had already known that he was from the Empress Dowager Huayang.

But after Lu Buwei finished speaking, he didn't stay for long, waved his sleeves, laughed loudly, and walked away!

"Lu Buwei!"

In Huayang Palace, the Empress Dowager Huayang clenched her hands tightly after listening to her subordinates' report.

The cook didn't understand why the Empress Dowager Huayang looked like this after hearing Lu Buwei's words.

"You step back!"

"promise!"

The Empress Dowager Huayang waved her hand, looking a little tired.Indeed, Lu Buwei lost.In this power struggle, the former powerful enemy Lu Buwei has withdrawn, but it does not mean that she has come to the end.

Even, it has just begun.

But she is old.

"The Empress Dowager, Mao Jiao from Qi came forward to admonish the king, and brought back Zhao Ji."

The intelligence of the spies under her command made the Empress Dowager Huayang's heart tremble.Zhao Ji's return meant that she was no longer the only one in the harem.

More importantly, among them, King Qin's attitude.As soon as Lu Buwei left, the Chu faction headed by the Empress Dowager Huayang and Lord Changping began to emerge in the court.

Although the king of Qin is young, he has already deliberately begun to check and balance the relatives of the Chu family.

"Lu Buwei!"

Empress Dowager Huayang's deep voice was full of anger.

"You really know how to make waves!"

Obviously, at the party during the day, Lu Buwei deliberately provoked Zhao Shuang, but the other party was not fooled.

"Empress Dowager, Mr. Changping, please see me."

"No!" The Empress Dowager Huayang said instinctively, but then changed her tone, "Let him in."

Lord Changping is now the Prime Minister of Great Qin, and he is no longer the former Lord Changping.Naturally, the Empress Dowager Huayang was more cautious about it.

"whats the matter?"

"Empress Dowager, I have already found out that what happened to Wu Xiang was caused by Zhao Shuang behind the scenes."

"so what?"

The Empress Dowager Huayang looked at Mr. Changping indifferently.She didn't expect that Mr. Changping came in a hurry and said such a thing.

"Now people outside think that you drove Lu Buwei away by hand. Does anything else make sense?"

"This……"

"Remember, you must be cautious in everything in the future. Now that Lu Buwei is gone, you will be walking on thin ice more than in the past."

"The Empress Dowager..."

Lord Changping didn't understand, but saw the Empress Dowager Huayang wave her hand.

"Aijia is tired, you retreat!"

"promise!"
