Fighting with fire shadow

Most of the generals in the Great Qin court obeyed Meng Ao's orders, while most of the civil servants followed Lu Buwei's lead. Many civil servants were even Lu Buwei's disciples.

Judging from Ying Zheng's performance just now, the King of Qin has begun to prepare to take back the power of the court, and if he wants to take back the power of the court, he must not get around the powerful Lu Xiangguo.

However, to everyone's expectation, Lu Buwei did not show the slightest expression of dissatisfaction, as if he did not see Ying Zheng's true intention, leaving the civil servants present at a loss.

Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei's calm expression, frowned slightly, and then said: "Mr. Ximen has an astonishing talent. If he hadn't seen through Wang Ye's evil intentions in advance this time, I would have been in trouble." Young Master, so I am planning to confer Mr. Ximen as the Grand Master of the Qin Dynasty. I wonder what the wishes of all the beloved ministers are?"

"..."

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, the entire hall fell into silence.

The military generals headed by Meng Ao would naturally not refute Ying Zheng at this time, and the civil servants headed by Lu Buwei, seeing that their boss did not act, naturally did not dare to take the lead.

Ying Zheng also didn't understand Lu Buwei's operation, but he didn't intend to let Lu Buwei go so easily. He directly asked: "I wonder what your Excellency Xiangguo thinks?"

"The position of national preceptor is related to the foundation of the country. Since the king said that Mr. Ximen has amazing talents, you might as well invite him to the palace to see him. If this person is really talented, the old minister will naturally have no objections."

Faced with Ying Zheng's aggressiveness, Lu Buwei seemed to be willing to remain unchanged in response to changes.

"In that case, let's follow what Mr. Ximen said and invite Mr. Ximen into the palace."

"Xuan Ximen enters the palace!"

"Xuan Ximen enters the palace..."

Accompanied by the shouts of the chamberlains, Ximen Cheng, who was wearing a black gold dress and a white jade belt around his waist, held a wooden box and walked slowly into the hall with tiger steps.

The entire Zhangtai Palace is mainly black and decorated with dark red, which is full of a solemn atmosphere.

When Ximen Cheng walked into the hall, all the civil and military officials present looked at him. Some of them had smiles on their faces and soft eyes, while others had solemn expressions on their faces and looked at him with scrutinizing eyes. he.

If it were an ordinary person, just facing the invisible pressure in the hall would probably be too frightening to walk.

However, Ximen Cheng ignored the solemn atmosphere and walked into the hall lightly. He saluted Ying Zheng who was sitting on the throne and said, "Ximen Cheng has met the king!"

"Mr. Ximen, there is no need to be polite."

Ying Zheng first raised his hand towards Ximen Cheng, then turned to Lu Buwei and said, "Master Ximen, Mr. Ximen is already here. Do you have any questions you want to ask? Just ask him directly."

Lu Buwei sighed helplessly, and then asked straight to the point: "According to what I know, my husband previously served for South Korea, and was even named Xiaoyao Hou by the King of Han. Why did he suddenly switch to serve Qin?"

"The King of Han is indeed very kind to me, but it is a pity that the powerful officials in Korea are in power. General Ji Wuye has great power in both the government and the public. In order to seize my family property, he even sent assassins to assassinate me.

To be honest, I entered the Qin Dynasty this time, on the one hand, to protect myself, and on the other hand, to assist the king and complete the hegemony of unifying the world! "

Ximen Cheng turned to look at the civil and military officials present, and said loudly and sincerely: "In the next few years, I traveled to various countries and found that the people of the world were already suffering from the war. Therefore, I secretly vowed to assist a generation of wise kings to end the world. Troubled times!

We, the scholars, only want four things in our lives.

Set your mind for heaven and earth!

Live for the people!

For the sake of the pilgrimage to the saints!

Create peace for all generations! "

The four lines about Hengqu that Zhang Zai wrote in the Northern Song Dynasty are definitely famous lines that travelers must memorize. Even modern students will feel excited when they hear these four lines, let alone all the civil and military officials present.

"..."

When Lu Buwei heard this, he was stunned on the spot for a moment, looking at Ximen Cheng's handsome face, Heng Qu's four sentences kept echoing in his ears.

At this moment, Lu Buwei suddenly felt a wave of heat rushing into his heart. His eyes, which were almost blinded by the desire for power, slowly opened their eyes, and a layer of mist appeared in them.

When Lu Buwei was young, he tried his best to help Qin Yiren ascend the throne. In addition to wanting to change his own destiny, why didn't he want to help Qin Yiren unify the world?

It's a pity that Qin Yiren died too early. Lu Buwei, who was in charge of the power, was unknowingly blinded by power and even forgot his original intention.

"Mister is a great talent, please be respected by this old man!"

As if he had received spiritual baptism, Lu Buwei finally made up his mind and bent towards Ximen Cheng to compose a series.

As long as Qin can unify the world, Lu Buwei's influence on Qin will definitely leave a strong mark in historical records and his name will be passed down through the ages!

In this case, what difference does it make whether Qin unified the world in the hands of Lu Buwei or in the hands of Ying Zheng?

Not only did Lu Buwei receive spiritual baptism, everyone including Ying Zheng felt their hair standing on end as they savored the charm of Hengqu's four sentences.

This is what we scholars should do!

This is a common thought among all the readers present.

The civil servants who originally had some rejection of Ximen Cheng also changed their eyes when they looked at Ximen Cheng. They looked like they saw an idol.

Just by relying on Hengqu's four sentences, Ximen Cheng is enough to assume the position of Qin's national teacher. No one will doubt the weight of these four sentences.

"Sir is a great talent, and it is a blessing for me and the great Qin Dynasty to have him help me!"

After Ying Zheng came back to his senses, the eyes he looked at Ximen Cheng became more and more intense. He couldn't help but asked immediately: "I want to make Mr. Ximen the Grand Master of the Qin Dynasty. Do you have any objections to it?"

"The great talent of the national teacher, the wise king!"

As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, Lu Buwei and Meng Ao raised their hands in unison.

When the civil and military officials present saw that the bosses of both sides had spoken, they naturally did not dare to have the slightest objection and worshiped in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"In this case, now I..."

"Wait a minute!"

Just when Ying Zheng was about to formally announce the canonization of Ximen Cheng as a national advisor, Ximen Cheng suddenly interrupted Ying Zheng.

Before I finish pretending, you are busy canonizing me as a national master. You are really an unqualified compliment. Ximen Cheng rolled his eyes at Ying Zheng angrily.

Ying Zheng noticed the speechless look in Ximen Cheng's eyes and thought secretly. Only then did he realize that he was a little too excited. He quickly made up for it: "I wonder what Mr. Ximen has to say?"
