The heavens start from Maoshan

When he arrived at Lu Xiang's mansion, Lu Buwei was discussing with his disciples how to expand his power after the new king ascended the throne.

I heard that Biao Zhang Heng was coming.

Lu Buwei joked with everyone: "The guardian angels of the Qin Kingdom will not come forward unless they destroy the country. Among the remaining earth immortals, I have recruited one, the Empress Dowager Huayang has recruited one, Feng Quji has recruited one, There is one who doesn't care about ordinary things, and there is only one who is on Ying Zheng's side."

"Even with the addition of Zhang Zhaizhu, there are only two earth immortals on the left and right. Now that I have reached an alliance with the Queen Mother Huayang and Feng Quji, the government of Qin will be in our hands. Even if Yingzheng is the new king, It's impossible to get power."

All the disciples listened.

They congratulated Lu Buwei one after another, and said: "The new king is young and scheming, how can the government be separated from the prime minister."

Among the congratulatory voices, only one person remained silent.

Lu Buwei was high-spirited, and didn't pay attention to this person, and continued to talk to his left and right: "Everyone, wait a moment and see what gift that Zhaizhu has for me."

After finishing speaking, he continued: "I, Lu Buwei, is rich in the world. I, Lu Buwei, can win over anyone Yingzheng can win. I just thought highly of him before, but when I look back, no matter what price Yingzheng offers, I will pay twice. I don't believe he won't agree with him We stand together."

The words fall.

Soon.

Wearing a gift box, he appeared in the hall.

I heard before that Lu Buwei had three thousand followers and one hundred thousand servants.

See you today.

There are hundreds of people sitting in the hall, all of them are well-dressed, obviously they are not unknown people, at worst they must be the number one seeds in some small and medium immortal sects.

"Meet Lu Xiang."

After straightening his clothes, he bowed to Lu Buwei and said, "In the name of my master, I am sending a pair of couplets to Lu Xiang."

Lu Buwei waved his hand: "Open it, let everyone see."

Do not hesitate.

Called four attendants, opened the gift box, and took out a pair of couplets from inside.

hiss!

Couplets and a hang.

When everyone saw it, their hearts skipped a beat.

into the eye.

The couplet on the left reads: "What a majestic city, who is the host and who is the guest."

The couplet on the right reads: "There are only three thatched cottages, half suitable for the bright moon and half suitable for the wind."

Just for a moment.

Lu Buwei's expression changed several times.

First he was astonished, then angry, and for a while he couldn't even care about his appearance: "Zhang Heng, you are too deceitful!"

Back off silently.

After waiting, Lu Buwei took a few deep breaths and ordered to the diners: "Burn this couplet."

After finishing speaking, I still don't understand my hatred.

He also said: "When I lead the government, apply Confucianism, develop famous laws, recreate the universe, and sweep the world, I will be able to match the world's luck and achieve the position of Earth Immortal. Then I will meet him."

in the crowd.

A group of disciples agreed one after another, comparing Lu Buwei to the person who can lead Qin to the future.

But they didn't notice that the doorman who was silent at the beginning was quietly retreating outside after a long silence.

"Li Si, where are you going?"

Seeing Li Si walking towards the garden, some acquaintances came to stop him: "The prime minister was appointed as the head of the auxiliary ministers, why are you unhappy?"

Li Si sighed and said: "One day the emperor and one courtier, now the prime minister is very beautiful, and he is in charge of government affairs. It seems that the scenery is infinite, but in my eyes, this is the scene of the next life."

The companion didn't believe it, and retorted: "The prime minister has reached an alliance with the queen mother and the left prime minister, and Ying Zheng's biological mother, Zhao Ji, is the prime minister's former lover. How could Ying Zheng's Huangkou child be the prime minister?" opponent."

Li Si sighed again: "The new king is young, but he will grow up one day. The prime minister seems to be powerful, but throughout the ages, there are few political alliances that can last long."

"What's more, Bai, Wang, Meng, and Jiangmen have always been the guardians of the royal family."

"Once there is a slight mistake in the alliance between the prime minister, the queen mother, and the deputy prime minister, what awaits the prime minister will be a thunderbolt."

Speaking of which.

Li Si looked back at the lively living room: "What a dangerous city, who is the master and who is the guest?"

The words fall.

Li Si cupped his hands and said to his companion: "I'm leaving. If you believe me, you can leave with me. The Prime Minister's Mansion has become a vortex. The Prime Minister is in the middle of the game. With a blind eye, he can no longer see that his own death is coming."

The companion listened.

Some hesitated.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Li Si, but that he is really reluctant to part with his current wealth.

Perhaps the same is true of the prime minister.

He probably also sensed the possibility Li Si said, which is why he was so furious.

It's a pity that the arrow is on the string and has to be fired.

Lu Xiang is also Confucianism and Mohism, and he is named Fa.

His way is in the court, if he takes this step back, he may be hopeless for the rest of his life.

"You go."

"I worked as a cow and a horse by the prime minister's side, and finally gained the prime minister's trust."

"Right now is the time when I'm in the wind and water. I'm really reluctant to go away with you and start from scratch elsewhere."

The companion looked confused.

Li Si didn't hesitate after hearing the sound, he shook his head and said, "Lao Ai, sooner or later you will die of greed."

He watched Li Si's back.

Lao Ai also shook her head: "Who in this world can't be greedy? Li Si, you are a hundred times smarter than me, but can you guarantee that you will never be greedy?"

Chapter 3 and Seven: The First Emperor

Suspended for 49 days.

Pay homage, pay homage.

When all the dust settled, the coffin was buried, and the rest was for the crown prince to ascend the throne.

But all of this has nothing to do with Zhang Heng.

He is not like Hua Rou, who is an official of the East Palace, nor is he like Lu Buwei and Feng Quji, who are the high officials of the Qin State, but he is just an alliance of interests in exchange for political law.

That's why Zhang Heng didn't go to accompany Ying Zheng to ascend the throne. After all, when King Qin Yi passed away, he had already stood up for Ying Zheng once.

It's just that the tree wants to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop.

Zhang Heng slapped Lu Buwei in the face with a pair of couplets, most people dare not touch his brow again, but some smart people saw the fault from Hua Rou. .

Now that Yingzheng ascended the throne, Huarou, the left envoy of the prince's mansion, also rose to prominence and was appointed as the third-rank supervisory censor.

No, many people who are self-motivated and have no connections have started to follow Huarou's path.

Now Hua Rou is not only a third-rank court official from the Prince's Mansion, but also backed by him, an old monster who is suspected to be from the fairy world.

Not surprisingly, the future will be at least the upstart of the Jiuqing level, and the title of Marquis is also waiting.

Right now, Huarou has few cronies and retainers, so naturally, there are quite a few people who want to take shortcuts.

"Now is the time to develop your wings."

"If someone is helpful and has some ability, you might as well accept it first. Whether you are the supervisory censor, go to the local area to inspect the prefectures, or rely on the state of Qin to rebuild the Fengling sect in the future, these people will be of great help."

Qin State is very big.

The supervisory censor of Zhengsanpin is not a petty official either.

Sitting in such a position, wouldn't it be silly not to enrich one's own power?

The rights don't have to expire and become invalid, not to mention that Hua Rou joined the Prince's East Palace for the purpose of laying eggs.

"Uncle, don't worry, Zhao Gao and I are very popular as old people in the Prince's Mansion right now."

"Zhao Gao became the order of the CRRC government in charge of chariots and horses, and I also became a third-rank imperial envoy."

"In my position, even if I don't open my mouth, some speculators will come to bet. It is not easy to win over the followers."

Hua Rou was full of pride.

"maybe."

Zhang Heng was noncommittal: "It's easy to gather the diners, but how many of these diners have real talents and knowledge, and can be used by you?"

Huarou was silent for a while: "Whether you have real talents and learning, and whether it can be used by me, it takes time to verify."

Zhang Heng nodded: "That's right, but I heard that a month ago, a well-known retainer in Lu Buwei's residence left. Do you know about this?"

Hua Rou shook her head.

Zhang Heng continued: "This man's name is Li Si. According to legend, he was born in the Jixia Academy in Qi State. He studied under Mr. Xun Qing, a famous legalist, and was praised by Xun Qing as a talented prime minister."

"Later, he was a small official in Qi State, but he was not able to be reused. He felt that Qi State was decayed and it was difficult to accomplish anything, so he came to Qin State to join Lu Buwei."

"He was a guest at Lu Buwei's side, and he was also known for his intelligence. After seeing the couplet I sent, he said goodbye and left. He saw the danger in it. Obviously, this cleverness is not just a casual talk."

"Right now, he is living in the recruiting hall. He wanted to take the route of the recruiting hall to become an official, but he was frozen because he didn't bribe the people in the recruiting hall. This is your chance."

Hua Rou was a little lacking in confidence: "Uncle, although I have never heard of Li Si's name, but he was able to flourish under Lu Buwei's family and was praised as a prime minister. I am afraid that many people have paid attention to him and looked for him. He is gone, and he is still staying in the recruiting hall, obviously he looks down on the general family, if I go to recruit him, will he agree?"

Zhang Heng smiled and nodded: "Yes, and definitely will."

If it was Hua Rou's face, Li Si would definitely not come.

But for his sake, Li Si will most likely agree.

Because of him, even if Huarou is a mascot, Yingzheng will lift her to the position of Jiuqing, not to mention that Huarou is also very capable, no less than the new generation disciples of Bai, Wang, and Meng. Can be expected.

Li Si Xiufa.

His way is not to close the door at night, not to pick up lost things on the road, and the law enters people's hearts.

As the supervisory censor, Hua Rou was very good at him. If Xu Yi had an official position in the censor's platform, it would not be difficult to keep him by his side temporarily.

The hard part is the future.

In the future, when Li Si's wings are fledgling, he will definitely yearn for a bigger stage.

But this is also easy to solve.

Don't be too greedy. When Li Si shines brightly, don't press him down, just push him up.

With the kindness of the former master and the affection of recommendation, Hua Rou will be able to eat for a lifetime.

After all, Li Si's character is actually justified.

He used to be a guest of Lu Buwei, and after Lu Buwei died, he was also the only one who explained the pros and cons to Qin Wang Yingzheng and asked Yingzheng to forgive Lu Buwei's family and followers.

It can be seen from this that Li Si is not a villain who sees profit and forgets righteousness.

"Uncle, I understand."

While Hua Rou agreed, she was ready to recruit Li Si.

"Wait a minute."

Zhang Heng called Hua Rou to stop, and then asked, "Where does Wang Jian live now?"

"Wang Jian?"

Hua Rou didn't know why Zhang Heng mentioned this son of the Wang family, and subconsciously replied: "General Zuo Lang of the Chinese Army."

"How many?"

... "
