What if I have some money as an online car-hailing driver?

Yang Chen will definitely not stay in this era forever. His mission is to help the King of Qin unify the six kingdoms and prevent the King of Qin from using real people as burial sacrifices. After completing the mission, he will definitely return to modern life.

Therefore, the prime minister can do it, but he has to make it clear how long he can do it so that Ying Zheng will have an idea.

“Thank you, Brother Zheng, for your kindness. I won’t be polite then. I will be the Prime Minister of Daqin temporarily. But I don’t want to be the Prime Minister of Daqin forever. I will be the Prime Minister as long as you are here. When you leave in the future, I will not be the Prime Minister anymore.” Yang Chen said.

Ying Zheng was only 21 years old at this time. At this age, he felt that death was still far away, so he naturally would not think about immortality and had a more open-minded attitude towards death.

Therefore, Ying Zheng immediately said: "Haha... no problem! Sir, you will be my Prime Minister. Haha..."

Upon seeing this, all the civil and military officials hurriedly congratulated Yang Chen, and took the opportunity to say some nice words to attract Yang Chen's attention.

Yang Chen smiled and said: “Dear colleagues, you are welcome. We are all united in helping Brother Zheng to eliminate the other six nations. You don’t have to flatter me. I will handle my business impartially. I will not use you just because you say nice things, nor will I deliberately make things difficult for you just because you don’t say nice things.”

The civil and military officials smiled and nodded. They hoped that Yang Chen was speaking from the heart and was not just talking.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I believe that if you become prime minister, my Great Qin will soon be able to unify the six kingdoms. Now I want to tell you something very important. Lü Buwei was in collusion with Lao Ai, but I don't want to torture him or exterminate his entire clan because he has made great contributions to the Great Qin. I want to give him a glass of wine and let him leave in a dignified manner. What do you think?"

Many officials in the court were promoted by Lu Buwei, and some officials had close ties with Lu Buwei.

When they heard that Ying Zheng was going to sentence Lu Buwei to death, they naturally stood up to oppose it immediately.

"Your Majesty just said that the Prime Minister has made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty. If Your Majesty orders him to be executed, it will inevitably make others feel that serving in the Qin Dynasty is a very dangerous thing. Even if they become Prime Ministers, even if they have made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty, they will still die. Who will dare to serve Your Majesty in the future?"

"Lao Ai was indeed a retainer of the prime minister, but after he became the Marquis of Changxin, he even ignored the prime minister. Everyone can see how tense their relationship was. Even if the prime minister had some relationship with Lao Ai, he would never support Lao Ai's rebellion. If Lao Ai's rebellion succeeded, the prime minister would definitely not have a good ending. He must understand this, so how could he support Lao Ai's rebellion?"

"If the king can leave the prime minister a chance to live, everyone will think that the king is the king of Renming, and more people with lofty ideals will come to serve the king. This is better than killing a prime minister who is no longer a threat."

……

Ying Zheng immediately said, "Many of you were promoted by Lu Buwei. It's not strange that you are speaking up for him. I can understand. But this is the court. I hope you will focus on state affairs and not mix in personal feelings. I need to let everyone know that I am a person who clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments. If you have merits, I can make you a marquis and a prime minister. If you break the law, no matter how powerful you are, I will punish you according to the law. If we can't rule the country according to the law, but rely on emotions, then what hope is there for this country? If you have a good relationship with me, it's okay even if you break the law. If you don't have a good relationship with me, I will punish you if you break the law. Then the law is still the law, the country is still the country, and am I still the same?"

Zheng Ge is Zheng Ge, there is no need to worry that he cannot deal with these ministers.

After being scolded by Ying Zheng, none of the ministers dared to speak.

Then Ying Zheng continued: "I want to give poisoned wine to the prime minister. Who is in favor and who is against it?"

Things have come to this point. If there is still someone who opposes at this time, it means that the person is not loyal to Ying Zheng, but only loyal to Lu Buwei. He should be dismissed or killed. It is absolutely impossible to keep him in the temple.

There are no fools among those who can stand here. They know what the consequences will be if they express their opposition again.

"I think the king is right. When governing a country, rewards and punishments should be clearly defined."

"That's right! When a prince breaks the law, he is punished the same as a commoner. This is the most correct approach. Only then will the people of the world believe that our Great Qin is a country with a fair legal system."

"It is a blessing for our Great Qin that the king has such an awakening. It will soon become a blessing for the people of the world."

"Ha ha……"

If Lu Buwei saw this scene, he would probably curse at those ministers who had received his favors.

Ying Zheng smiled and asked, "Prime Minister, do you have anything to say?"

“That’s it! Send someone to deliver the poisoned wine to Lu Buwei immediately. Also, tell Lu Buwei and his family, Brother Zheng, you must treat his family well.” Yang Chen said.

Ying Zheng nodded, and immediately gave orders according to Yang Chen's instructions.

At this time, Lu Mansion.

Lu Buwei had already received the news that Ying Yu and others had been beheaded, Lao Ai had been torn apart by five horses and his three clans had been exiled, and the queen mother had been exiled to the Laiyang Palace. He knew that it would soon be his turn because Ying Zheng was going to rule the country himself and he was one of the core members who had to be cleared out. However, he could not guess whether Ying Zheng would kill him or exile him to the frontier.

Lü Buwei called all his family members together and said, "I have a feeling that my time is coming soon. Before I die, I will ask the king to spare you. You should live a decent life in the future and don't be too ostentatious."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Lu family burst into tears.

Lu Buwei was also in tears, but crying was useless at this point. Who made him have an unhealthy relationship with Zhao Ji, who made Lao Ai his retainer, and who made him tarnish the dignity of Ying Zheng as a man?

A moment later, Wang Ben came with dozens of fully armed soldiers and Ying Zheng's handwritten letter.

Wang Ben came with fully armed soldiers to deliver the message. Lu Buwei knew what would happen to him. If he dared to behave disrespectfully, these dozens of soldiers would help him to behave respectably, and might even involve his family as well.

"The king has a handwritten letter and a wooden box to give to the prime minister. The king specifically instructed that only the prime minister can read it and the handwritten letter must be burned after reading it." Wang Ben said.

The two soldiers behind Wang Ben brought the imperial edict and the wooden box and carefully placed them on the table next to Lu Buwei.

"My Lord Prime Minister, please take a look quickly. We will be waiting outside. We will only give you an incense stick of time. I hope you will not make things difficult for us." Wang Ben said.

Wang Ben took the soldiers out and closed the door. They all drew their swords and surrounded the house. Wang Ben lit a stick of incense very professionally, and then he watched it burn.

Lu Buwei carefully opened the wooden box and saw a glass of wine inside. He immediately understood and then smiled with relief.

Lu Buwei asked his wife and children to change his clothes, took one last look at the whole family, and then went into the bedroom alone with the handwritten letter and the wooden box.

Lu Buwei opened the handwritten letter and read it carefully. Ying Zheng thanked Lu Buwei for helping their family and affirmed Lu Buwei's contributions to the Qin Dynasty. At the same time, he also emphasized his faults. Merits are merits, and faults are faults. He was rewarded when he made merits, and he should be punished when he made mistakes. As long as he drank the poisoned wine, Ying Zheng would guarantee the safety of his family. As long as Ying Zheng lived, his family could continue to enjoy their current life and treatment. Finally, Ying Zheng also emphasized that if Lu Buwei did not cooperate, his whole family would be implicated, and hoped that he would not be confused.

“Hahahaha…hahahaha…hahahahaha…”

Lu Buwei laughed in the bedroom, and the family members outside the door were all confused.

After a burst of laughter, Lu Buwei took a brazier and burned the bamboo slips. When the bamboo slips were burned to ashes, he smiled, opened the wooden box, and took out the poisoned wine inside.

"Lu Buwei, thank you for your gift, Your Majesty!" Lu Buwei shouted with all his might, just to let Wang Ben who was guarding outside hear him.

Then Lu Buwei picked up the poisoned wine and drank it all. Then he straightened his clothes and lay down on the bed, silently waiting for death to come.

An incense stick of time passed quickly, and Wang Ben walked in with the soldiers who had drawn their swords. The people from the Lu family quickly made way. One of the soldiers stepped forward and pushed open the door. Wang Ben walked straight in and came to the bed.

At this time, the poison was taking effect. Lü Buwei kept spitting blood from his mouth and his body was twitching. He looked very uncomfortable. Wang Ben turned his back and waved his hand to signal the soldiers to turn their backs as well. After all, Lü Buwei was a man, despite his miserable appearance at the end.

The people from the Lu family wanted to come in to see what was going on, but were stopped by the soldiers with swords.

Wang Ben said loudly: "Please wait for a moment. You can come in after we leave. We are doing this according to the king's orders. Please don't make things difficult for us."

After a while, Lu Buwei was completely dead.

The imperial physician who accompanied him came forward to examine him and confirmed that Lu Buwei had died of poisoning.

Wang Ben nodded and left with the soldiers. As soon as they walked out of the house, the people of the Lu family burst into tears.

Life is like this. It is really glorious when it is glorious, and it is really miserable when it is settled. The only thing you can do is to enjoy it to the fullest when it is glorious, and accept any outcome calmly when it is settled.

At this time, Ying Zheng was studying the defense maps of the six countries with Yang Chen, Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi, Li Si and other civil and military officials. Wang Ben came alone to report.

"Your Majesty, it's done!"

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, with a look of obvious discomfort between his brows, but he soon smiled and said, "Well, come here, let's study together."

Wang Ben hurried over and sat behind his father Wang Jian.

"Now let the Prime Minister tell us how we should fight, who to attack first and who to attack later. Let's all take a reference and then express our own opinions. Prime Minister, come on." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

Yang Chen nodded, and began to speak according to the information he had prepared.

"According to my understanding, the strongest country is Qin, followed by Chu, then Zhao, Qi, Wei, Yan, and Han. If we attack weak countries directly and annex them, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of Zhao and Chu. If they join forces from north to south, it will be difficult for us to win. If we attack the powerful Chu directly, it will obviously put us in a tug-of-war. If we cannot win for a while, Zhao will definitely take the opportunity to attack us. And even if we win, our strength will definitely be greatly damaged, and it will be impossible to launch a war against other countries in a short period of time. Therefore, we will attack Zhao first. There are two reasons. First, Qin and Zhao have been at war for many years. It is very common for us to capture Zhao's cities, and other countries will not intervene. Second, we should weaken Zhao's strength first, and then devote all our national strength to launching a war to annihilate Zhao. As long as we eat up Zhao, which ranks third, Chu will have no chance to join forces with powerful countries, and it will be easy to eat it later."

At this time, Meng Wu said: "We have fought with Zhao for so many years and have not eaten it. What if we get into a tug-of-war with them again?"

Yang Chen replied: "No! As far as I know, every time Zhao loses a city to Qin, it will attack Yan the next year to seize the city. So, it is time for Zhao to launch a war against Yan again. We will immediately prepare food and armaments, and when Zhao and Yan start fighting, we will launch a war against Zhao on the grounds of protecting Yan against Zhao's aggression, and seize Nanyang and other places close to Qin. When the war between Zhao and Yan is over, we will devote all our national strength to launch a war to destroy Zhao."

Ying Zheng said: "What the Prime Minister said is very good. We will attack Zhao first."

Yang Chen smiled and said: “In order to protect you, Brother Zheng, and unify the six kingdoms as soon as possible, I will go back to my hometown and bring more guns to form a charge battalion. Brother Zheng, your top priority is to prepare enough food and grass to ensure that the soldiers are well fed and watered. With the charge battalion I have formed to help you, you can destroy Zhao in a month at most.”

Ying Zheng laughed happily and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister. I will strictly follow your instructions and prepare enough food and grass."

“As long as the assault battalion is formed, we don’t need to use any strategies. We can just push forward all the way. Whoever we attack will be destroyed.” Yang Chen said.

Ying Zheng laughed happily again. He had never been so happy in his life.

At this time, Wang Jian said: "I heard that the 30-man team formed by the Prime Minister killed all followers of Lao Ai. I was in the Lishan camp at that time and didn't see the scene with my own eyes. I wonder if the Prime Minister can let them perform and show me how powerful they are?"

Yang Chen nodded, and said: "It just so happens that I am about to go back to my hometown to prepare more weapons. Let's let them train with the remaining ammunition for the generals and adults to see. Let's go to the training ground!"

A group of people came to the training ground.

The soldiers prepared more than 10 wild boars wearing armor and placed them more than 30 meters away. After all the soldiers left, a team of 30 gunmen launched a charge towards the 10 wild boars.

"Da da da da..."

There was a burst of gunfire and the wild boars were scared and fled in all directions. Some unlucky wild boars were hit by bullets. Some fell down immediately, while others fell down after running a few steps. Soon, more than a dozen ferocious wild boars were all killed.

Wang Jian and others hurried over to check. The armor of these wild boars had been pierced. After the bullets broke through the armor, they also broke through the thick wild boar skin and penetrated deeply into the wild boar's flesh.

"How can such a small thing have such great power?" Wang Jian said in shock.

"The wounds don't look big, why did they all die?" Wang Ben said.

Meng Tian also said: "Yes, I also feel that the wound is not big, how could they all die? I have suffered much bigger wounds before, but I am still alive and well."

Yang Chen smiled and said: “The injuries sustained by the generals can only be called superficial injuries. Even if it is an arrow wound, because of the armor, the part that penetrated into your body will not be too much, so it can still be called superficial injuries. But this bullet is different, it directly penetrates into the body to form a local explosion effect. You see it is just a small hole on the outside, but in fact, the inside has been exploded, and the internal organs have been shattered. You can dissect this pig now and see the wound inside to know.”

Wang Ben immediately took a knife and cut open the wild boar himself. Just as Yang Chen said, the place where the bullet stopped had exploded, the meat was minced, and the blood vessels burst into pieces.

"It doesn't look like a big problem from the outside, but I didn't expect it to be damaged like this inside. Such a small thing has such great power. It can be so powerful even for a wild boar, so if it hits a person, the person will definitely die. Prime Minister, where is your hometown? There is such a powerful weapon!" Wang Jian asked.

Yang Chen smiled and replied: “My family lives far away. I will tell everyone after I destroy the six countries. I will go back and buy more weapons later. If I can form a thousand-man assault battalion, not to mention the six countries, I can conquer the six realms.”

"Hahaha……"

In the evening, Ying Zheng held a banquet to entertain all those who had made contributions in suppressing the rebellion of Lao Ai and Ying Yu.

Yang Chen made the greatest contribution and was admired and praised by everyone, including Ying Zheng.

The food in this era is really unpalatable, it almost tastes like the food itself, the vegetables have a green smell, and the meat dishes have a fishy smell. As a person who is used to eating modern food, Yang Chen really can't get used to the food here.

After the dinner, Ying Zheng took Yang Chen to the garden rest area.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Prime Minister, I still want to sleep with you tonight."

Yang Chen hurriedly said: “Brother Zheng, stop making trouble. Go and sleep with the queen or concubines. You are the man who will become the emperor. If you don’t have a few more children, how can you guarantee that there will be successors for the country?”

"You can give birth anytime. I can even take time to give birth during my lunch break. There's no rush. I just want to sleep with the Prime Minister and listen to you talk about airplanes and cannons." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

What the hell, I still have to coax Qin Shi Huang to sleep, who can I talk to?

“Okay, okay, hurry up and take a shower and lie down. I’ll tell you about the Nan Tianmen plan after 2000.” Yang Chen said.

Ying Zheng was delighted when he heard this, and hurriedly called the palace maid to help him and Yang Chen wash and undress, then he lay on the bed waiting for Yang Chen to come up and tell him a story.

In this situation, Yang Chen couldn’t help but sigh in his heart: “Alas… The emperor of all ages is now waiting for me like a young wife waiting for favor. No one would dare to believe it if I tell others. Haha…” (End of this chapter)
