The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

Lu An didn't know what Wei Liao looked like in the eyes of others, but in Lu An's eyes, his brother was an out-and-out offensive faction.

Usually his gentlemanly appearance is just pretending, as long as he is given a chance, he will immediately charge forward without hesitation.

But Lu An didn't expect him to be like this emotionally.

He was sitting on the carriage almost in a daze, watching Wei Liao drive the carriage towards his small home in Xianyang city-state, he tensed his fingers back and forth a few times, but he couldn't say anything if he wanted to stop him.

Lu Buwei has several properties in Xianyang, but the old man of the Lu family likes to live in a hot spring house when he is old, so the whole Lu family also lives there, and the house in the city is reserved for Lu An and Lu Buwei to use when they go to and from get off work.

The state of Qin is required to be on call on weekdays, even if there is a problem after entering the bed, he has to get up immediately to solve the problem.

But Lu An is in charge of the capital water supervisor, and Lu Buwei is the prime minister of a country, so the problems that can alarm them are basically not small problems.Therefore, the two of them don't need to stay in the office on standby at any time, but in order to facilitate the handling of emergency affairs, both father and son live in the house in Xianyang City on weekdays.

Today is a rest day, Lu Buwei went straight to the old house after work, the house in the city was empty, only Lu An and Wei Liao were left now.

Lu An jumped out of the carriage, stood by the side and watched Wei Liao lightly tap the horse's buttocks with the whip, and his horses pulled the carriage into the stable obediently.

He hesitated on the spot, if it was the past, he would definitely step forward to help, but now he feels more or less awkward, the kind of awkwardness that he doesn't even know how to put his hands on.

After Wei Liao took off the harness, he saw the junior brother standing still, his eyes drifting and trying to explain his uncomfortable appearance with his whole body, he couldn't help but twitched his lips.

Before confessing that day, he had thought of countless possibilities, but now this is undoubtedly the best one.

If he really hated it, how could he be in such a posture now?

The young man stepped out of the stable, patted his hem that was stained with grass, and said casually as he walked forward: "I heard that the prince wants to build a bridge on the Yellow River."

Lu An was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously followed Wei Liao's footsteps and said, "Well, I'm still investigating, and I haven't decided on the location yet..."

"What's the problem?"

"The urgency of the water and the traffic along the coast are both related. It is best to have a traffic backbone or it will be more conducive to future development..."

After the two sat down, the topic of the two had moved to the pros and cons of building a bridge under the current state of Qin. In order to explain clearly, he even pulled a piece of paper and rubbed it on Wei Liao's side to write and draw for him to see.

After a while, he spoke more and more slowly, the hand that was holding the pen trembled slightly, he opened his mouth, looked up at Wei Liao, and met the smiling eyes of the young man.

Lu An's whole body stiffened.

Too, too cunning, how could his senior brother get along with him with his usual attitude as if nothing had happened! ?I am also stupid enough to be taken over by my senior brother.

Wei Liao grabbed Lu An who was about to escape in time. Lu An only felt the heat coming up from the place where they were holding each other. He opened his mouth and felt that all the sensory cells in his body had moved to the place where Wei Liao was holding him. , he seemed to be able to feel every trace of the lines in Wei Liao's palm, even the calluses on his head.

He and Wei Liao are too familiar and too trusting, whether it is breath or body, Lu An even felt that if Wei Liao climbed into his bed in the middle of the night, not only would he not feel it, but he could turn over and turn him over. As a pillow.

But now, he feels like he is getting to know his senior brother again, and the person in front of him is like a strange yet familiar person. This kind of awkwardness makes him want to escape, and all the hairs on his body explode to catch him. The feeling of existence is the first time.

He even felt that he had become a newborn little beast, wishing to use his five senses to perceive and identify each other.

So this is the smell of the incense on Wei Liao's body?It smells a little chilly.

Was Wei Liao's palm really that big?He could actually hold his wrist directly.

Wei Liao...is his aura so aggressive?Bit by bit, it completely wrapped around his side like an invisible cage.

Lu An even felt that if he stayed longer, he would be infected with this person's breath.

Wei Liao felt his discomfort, so he opened his hand lightly. He stretched out his hand and sat down Lu An, who was about to retreat immediately, and stuffed a cup of cold water into his hand. Being able to sit down obediently like a cat whose neck was pinched, he looked up at Wei Liao in a daze, as if he didn't understand why things turned out like this.

The latter raised the corners of his mouth at him, and was a little surprised to see Lu An's pupils shrinking instantly.

This was a pleasant surprise.There was a smile in Wei Liao's eyes, he moved a little closer, and sure enough, he saw Lu An shyly avoiding him.

Being able to make a man amazed by another man's appearance and ashamed by another man's approach undoubtedly proves that Lu An has feelings for him, and his heart suddenly settled down.The fierce beast that was roaring with teeth and claws calmed down its black energy, and after licking its paws, it regained the patience to wait.

Wei Liao returned to his original position, and said: "An'er, don't worry, Liao will not force you."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, the expression on Lu An's face not only did not relax, but became even more tense.Wei Liao was a little bit taken aback by this abnormality.

Lu An closed his eyes forcefully, clearing his mind of thoughts.When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was extremely calm, even a little sharp.

His gaze swept Wei Liao's face inch by inch like a scraper, and finally took a deep breath, "I like senior brother."

If it was in the past, Wei Liao would never have thought that there was a person who could easily break all his defenses and make him lose all his calm with just five words.

And now, he knows.

Seeing Wei Liao stunned, Lu An, who was still a little shy just now, immediately raised his tail, and he slid past a little bit, but Wei Liao didn't respond.

He tentatively stretched out his hand to cover Wei Liao's hand, but Wei Liao still didn't respond, and Lu An, who had grown up with a villainous heart, stretched out his villainous hand again to silence his senior brother's head, but Wei Liao still didn't respond.

The effect is so good!

Lu An immediately laughed, and he leaned over and called softly, "Brother?"

"Wei Liao?"

After a pause, he said again, "Ah Liao?"

He tilted his head slightly, leaning into the unresponsive Wei Liao's ear and said, "How can I call you, senior brother?"

Then he watched Wei Liao's earlobes turning red little by little, and he was mentally balanced now!

That's right!It's the first time for everyone, so it's only fair that we should be shy together, otherwise wouldn't he look very raw?

He looked at Wei Liao's reddened earlobes and felt itchy. Wei Liao's skin was white, and it was a cold white that could not be tanned. This little bit of red was like peach petals, only the tips of the petals were red, which made the skin red. People especially want to touch it.

At this moment, Lu An's guts reached the pinnacle in his life, and he immediately reached out to touch it, and the red spot quickly spread to the entire earlobe.

Whoa!The ears are so red, so the senior is blushing!

Just as he was about to step back a little to confirm this, he found himself held in someone's arms at some point, "Brother?"

"You can call it whatever you want." The voice in his ear was soft and shallow, with a slight uptick in the end of his words, showing that he was in a very good mood.Then he tightened his arms bit by bit, from probing to finally trapping him firmly in his arms. When Lu An was obediently hugged by him, Wei Liao finally showed a light smile, "I'm happy."

The person in his arms was silent for a moment, and finally gave a muffled reply, and then he felt his earlobe being gently pinched, and his senior brother's cold fingers made his earlobe hot.

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment, the noisy cicadas outside the house, the sound of the water wheel in the courtyard, and the sound of the heartbeat all condensed in a kind of peace, but...

Lu An endured it, but in the end he couldn't hold back, he stretched out his hand and pushed Wei Liao, "Senior brother, it's hot."

"..." Wei Liao let go of his hand slowly, and saw the person in his arms slipping away into the distance. He looked at Lu An's voice of turning his back and ignoring him, and curled the corners of his mouth, "An'er can Want to visit Chengdu?"

Lu An immediately turned around, his eyes widened, and he was extremely pleasantly surprised, "Senior, can there be a way? My father was very disapproving of my going before!"

Lu An really wanted to go to Chengdu to have a look. Li Bing sent him a lot of news in Shu County, but no matter how superb his description skills were, the Shu County in his eyes was completely different from the Shu County in Lu An's imagination. A concept, which also led to many obstacles in the communication between the two.

The good tools tested in Xianyang will not be usable when they move to Chengdu, and the well-prepared prescriptions will not be picked out when they are sent to Shu County. There are so many different things, it is really not convenient.

Moreover, Lu An was also very curious about the Guanjiang Estuary Treatment Project that Li Bing had spent more than ten years building, and wanted to see what it was like.

However, for the people of Xianyang, Shu County is basically no different from a poor country. Not to mention all kinds of inconveniences, the road is still very far away, and the information is not clear. Therefore, he told his father last time that he wanted to go to Shu County to see it. Lu Buwei He refused directly.

Although Lu An never mentioned it later, he did have some thoughts about Chengdu in his heart, but how did the senior brother know that he wanted to go to Shu County?

Wei Liao smiled slightly, "You are about to win the crown, and Xiangbang said that he is going to study abroad... Xiangbang should not refuse."

"If Xiangbang still has concerns, I would like to walk with you."

"..."

Naive Lu An thought about it and thought it made sense, but a few days later, when he went back to talk to his father, Lu Buwei immediately dismissed it.

Seeing his son's complex expression, Lu Buwei scolded Wei Liao to the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't say anything with his son's inquisitive expression, he was almost suffocated.

The old father, who didn't know that his son's elbow had turned outward, could only describe the road to Shu County as a sea of ​​swords and flames, and the miserable life in Shu County as a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, but his son was even more excited when he heard the words.

Lu An said that he just wanted to see how difficult the road was so that he could find ways to improve it.He was already mentally prepared, and he didn't go for pleasure.

At the end, he shook his head to express that Dad, you don’t understand me too much!

Lu Buwei, Lu Buwei felt very sad, but he quickly found a perfect reason. The Yellow River Bridge Project has just started, and the work is halfway done. Can we let it go?

Unexpectedly, Lu An immediately showed a smug expression when he heard the words, because after hearing that his brother wanted to go to the governor of Shu County to see him, His Royal Highness, the very caring prince, said that brother, you can play at ease. I probably know these things, and I can do it for you you do.

And then again, the matter of building the bridge itself is not under the supervision of Dushui. After the investigation is completed, he will change hands.

But despite this, Lu An still hugged his younger brother for a long time, feeling that his younger brother was not raised in vain.Zhao Zheng, who was already a half-year-old boy, was a little shy against the ghostly eyes of his companions, and then said pitifully that he had never gone out, and I am afraid that he would never have the chance to go out...

Lu An immediately patted his chest and said that if the king is willing to let him go to Shu County, he will definitely write a letter to his younger brother about what he saw and heard along the way, so that his younger brother can know the things thousands of miles away without going out.

Lu Buwei couldn't find a good reason for a while, but felt very sad. On the one hand, he knew that his son was right.

Lu An has already accomplished something in his studies, and the next step is to accumulate and increase his knowledge. Xun Qing told him about this a long time ago.

Being erudite but ignorant is nothing to do in the end. If you want to be a useful person, you still have to go out and get in touch with people's livelihood and local conditions.He also walked out like this when he was young, when he left home he was younger than Lu An now.

However, knowing Gui knew that he was still not at ease if he wanted to release his son, and it was Wei Liao who had to accompany his son on the trip.

That brat... I'm afraid it wasn't too early to settle it!

Just looking at his son's expectant eyes, Lu Buwei gritted his teeth and admitted: "Go and write a memorial, and go and talk to the king for your father."

Of course, if Lu An wants to go on a study tour, he can no longer hold an official position, especially if he goes to Shu County, it will take half a year to commute back and forth. Qin's welfare has not improved to this level, so of course he has to resign.

In the pre-Qin period, study tours were a normal thing. It was very normal to suddenly resign in the middle of work and go out to gain some knowledge. After returning, most of them can be promoted. It seems that it is a steady profit?Wrong!The premise is that you have to be alive to come back.

In the era of war, as long as you can come back from other places alive, you can basically make progress, and in this era of unsmooth communication and information, you can go to other places, not to mention, the local topography alone is very important information .

Of course, it's normal to go to other countries after turning around, and there are both active and passive ones.Based on this situation, Lu Buwei thought it would be very difficult to ask for his son's resignation, but the stranger agreed immediately. Not only did he agree, he also took a scroll from the side cabinet with a smile on his face and handed it to Lu Buwei. .

Lu Buwei was a little confused. He opened it and saw that this was the document appointing Lu An as the governor of Shu County.

This……! ! !

The stranger smiled very kindly, and said: "Li Bing, the prefect of Shu County, has written many times to transfer Xiao Lu Qing... I was still a little hesitant, but I didn't know such a coincidence."

The paperwork has already been written, how could it be a coincidence?Lu Buwei smiled wryly, and thanked his son for his kindness.

Shujun Juncheng, the second in command of Shujun, his son has been promoted from supervisor to Chengcheng, and the speed of promotion is really amazing, but this makes Lu Buwei unhappy.

His son is just a newly crowned person, so this is too eye-catching.

The stranger saw through his gentleman's thoughts at a glance, and he couldn't help shaking his head. Concern confused this point, but he didn't expect that the gentleman would be unavoidable.

"A few days ago, the widow traveled to the Qin State Academy, wanting to hear what young people are learning today," the stranger said slowly, "then I heard a very interesting sentence from a young man."

The king of Qin said softly, "The prime minister must rise from the prefecture, and the strong general must rise from the army."

The author has something to say:

The prime minister must start from the state department, and the fierce general must start from the army.

——by, the young Han Fei.

Yesterday, a baby asked Gan Luo, quack quack, Gan Luo is about the same age as Yingzheng, he is the grandson of Gan Mao, and Gan Mao is a subject of King Wu, and after King Wu died, King Zhaoxiang took over, and because Gan Mao offended someone, Someone kept saying bad things about King Zhaoxiang, and Gan Mao felt that the situation was not good, so he fled to Qi State.

However, he is indeed a talent. King Zhaoxiang was not willing to part with this talent. After persuasion by Su Dai (this is also a wonderful person, remember him), he asked people to bring Xiangyin to Gan Mao to invite him back to the country, and awarded him the official position. Gan Mao refused to go back, so Su Dai went to King Qi again and said: Gan Mao would not go even if the King of Qin gave him such a heavy gift, which shows that he is really optimistic about the king. How can you keep him?So King Qi granted Gan Mao the position of Shangqing.

In order to win back Gan Mao's heart, the state of Qin pardoned the taxes of Gan Mao's family members and gave them extremely high treatment.

Later, the king of Qi sent Gan Mao to Chu, and the king of Qin secretly poked and said to the king of Chu: "Send Gan Mao back?"

The King of Chu hesitated, so he asked his courtiers whether he should do this?Is it worth offending Qi?

There was a courtier of Chu State named Fan Xun, who said no, sending Gan Mao back to Qin State would be like adding wings to a tiger, and he did not send him back in the end.

Why did I ask you to pay attention to Su Dai?This is Su Qin's younger brother, and his role in this matter is very subtle.

He was doing things for the Qi country at the time, and political strategists were considered mercenaries at the time, that is, the type who would speak for anyone who received an order.And Gan Mao can be regarded as his friend. The two had a lot of exchanges before. When Gan Mao ran away, he happened to be an envoy to Qin State for Qi, and asked him to take care of his wife and son in Qin State. This relationship It should be pretty solid, right?

However, after Su Dai finished his business, he said to King Qin: Gan Mao has been used in Qin State for many years, and he knows the terrain clearly. He is a danger to Qin State outside.

King Zhaoxiang asked: "Then what should we do?"

Su Dai said: "If the king does not value his reputation, he will be generous with his salary to welcome him, and if he comes, he will be put in the ghost valley, and he will not come out for life."

That's right, he suggested that King Qin trick him back and lock him up, that is - I can't get this talent and I can't give it to others.

King Zhaoxiang said: Good.

So he sent someone to ask Gan Mao to go back, but Gan Mao didn't go back, so Su Dai went to recommend Gan Mao to King Qi.

This is a passage recorded in Shiji. Of course, the biography of Shiji has some elements of fiction, but when I read this passage, I thought, if Gan Mao really went back, wouldn’t he be imprisoned?Didn't Su Dai, who is Gan Mao's good friend, just dig a hole for his good friend to jump into?

Of course, it can also be said that this was a test given by Su Dai to Gan Mao. Gan Mao did not go back, but he passed the test given by Su Dai, so Su Dai recommended him to King Qi.Since then, the official has worshiped Shangqing.

I don’t know what you think, but I thought at the time—this is really terrible.

You never know who is giving you the test questions, and you never know what the result will be if you pass the test question or fail the test question.

The king of Qin gave Gan Mao the position of Shangqing, he was the top leader, and he was extremely wealthy.If it weren't for Gan Mao's determination, he knew very well why he left, and he would probably go back, and what awaited him after returning was a dead end.

So people, every step of the way, you have to think clearly about the decision you make, and don’t regret it once you make a decision. Of course, we will not encounter a dead end like Gan Mao, but whether it is breaking up with the ex-boyfriend, resigning, or divorcing. Or many decisions are the same.

If you make a decision, you must think clearly about the reason why you can't bear to leave. Unless the main reason can be solved, you must not look back, because you never know when you look back, what is waiting for you Not "Ghost Valley"

Let's talk about his grandson smashing Gan Mao.

In fact, there are many opinions about Gan Luo's age. According to historical records, Gan Luo was 12 years old when Gan Mao died. When did Gan Mao die?Uh, I don’t know, but Gan Luo at that time was a disciple of Lu Buwei (the original story of the historical records is about Lu Buwei, the Prime Minister of Qin Dynasty.) The word Xiang is very subtle. The abbreviations of prime minister and Xiangbang are both prime ministers. Bang was in the era of Qin Shihuang, so there was a gap of almost 3 years.

Another key point is Prince Yan. Prince Dan actually came to Qin State twice, one time was insulted by Qin Shihuang, and the other time was this time, but this time it was Qin Yan who later united and finally cheated Zhao State.

Then he returned Prince Yan back.

If you take Prince Yan as the time point, it would be when Shihuang was 28 years old (almost) but Lu Buwei had already been killed when he was 28 years old!So I acquiesce that this incident should have happened when King Qin just came to the throne, that is, when he was 14/5 years old.

In fact, Lu Buwei really recommended a lot of talents to Yingzheng (whispered BB). He is still very concerned about Shihuang's education and talents. When Shihuang was young, the two had a sincere heart, but Zhao Ji... Dead end.
