Martial arts crossing begins with the story of looking for Qin

Chapter 55
Faced with this situation, Lu Buwei is not afraid.

Now the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are respected by Lu Buwei, the right minister.The prince is not in charge of the government, the queen mother is regent, and he has a friendship with the queen mother, even because of this rumor, he has become a natural ally of the queen mother and the prince, even Xiang Shaolong has to stand in the same camp with him, his power has reached peak.

Lu Buwei entered the palace to meet the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince, and when Xiang Shaolong was there, he presented the hardcover version of "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals". He smiled kindly at the Crown Prince and said, "This is a sage and capable person from the world that I have recruited. Strange people and strangers gathered together to sum up the way of governing the country, from governing the world to farming in four seasons, all in one book. The book will be completed in the future, as long as the prince has a book in hand, he will be able to Know everything, know everything.”

Zhu Jijiao said with a smile: "Zheng'er is young, so he still has to rely on Lu Xiang and Mr. Xiang to help him."

As soon as King Zhuang Xiang left, Zhu Ji seemed to break free from the cage and became excited.

Lu Buwei said: "This is exactly the responsibility of the minister. Don't worry, the queen mother. If the prince needs anything from the veteran, the veteran will do his best. The day when my Great Qin will rule the world is not far away."

He seemed to regard Daqin as his father and son's.

The Crown Prince smiled and said: "I have read Lu Xiang's masterpiece a long time ago, and it seems that I have gained more recently, so I must study hard."

When only Chu Jun and Xiang Shaolong were left, Chu Jun said to Xiang Shaolong with a sullen face, "Master, what does Lu Buwei mean? Does he want to confirm the rumors? He really treats the widow as his son."

Xiang Shaolong didn't dare to speak, it was the Chujun's family business, not to mention he also believed that the Chujun was Lu Buwei's son.

Seeing Xiang Shaolong's silence, Chu Jun was furious and shouted, "Master also thinks the rumors are true?"

Shi Huang's aura burst out, he had never talked to Xiang Shaolong like this before.

Xiang Shaolong knew that it would be useless not to speak, and said: "It doesn't matter what Lu Buwei thinks, we don't need to bother, the main thing is what the prince thinks?"

Chu Jun said: "I don't need to think about anything. I am Yingzheng, the king of Qin. The former king handed over the land of the Great Qin Dynasty to me. I will naturally inherit the will of the former king and rule the world."

Xiang Shaolong asked: "Then do you want to ask the Queen Mother..."

"Crack!" Chu Jun slapped the desk, interrupted Xiang Shaolong, and shouted: "I don't need to ask the Queen Mother any questions, she is the mother of the widow, so naturally I will always stand with the widow."

Xiang Shaolong quickly changed his words and said: "I mean, the Empress Dowager is very powerful now, but she has no foundation in the court, and only Lu Buwei is familiar with her. Once she needs help, she will definitely go to Lu Buwei. There is no other way. .”

Chu Jun said: "The widow will tell the queen mother, isn't there still a master in this court, the master will definitely support the widow, right?"

Xiang Shaolong said: "Of course, it will always be. The prince should communicate more with the queen mother. The queen mother has no contact with the state affairs, but she has the right to make decisions. Although the prince cannot personally govern, he is already very familiar with the state affairs. The prince should let the queen mother Knowing the ability of the prince, we can't let her treat the prince as a child, so that there will be less constraints when the prince exercises his power. Two years is not a long time, so don't rush forward in these two years. The prince and I, Daqin, must accumulate strength. In the next year, the prince will be able to flex his muscles as soon as he takes charge."

Chu Jun smiled and said: "Yes, the most important thing is stability in the past two years. How should Lu Buwei treat it?"

Xiang Shaolong said: "It's fine to treat it normally. He is the prince's natural ally. As the head of all officials, it is very important to have his support."

Chu Jun's eyes flickered, he thought for a while, and said: "The head of the hundred officials may not necessarily be Lu Buwei, the master can directly replace him."

When Xiang Shaolong heard that he wanted to take Lu Buwei down, maybe he wanted to kill him, he was chilled and said: "Lu Buwei is not small, taking him down will have too much impact on Daqin."

Chu Jun said: "The military is not small, and it only maintains orthodoxy. With Lu Buwei around, the military is afraid of causing trouble."

Xiang Shaolong said: "They will not act rashly when it comes to important matters involving the king, not to mention that I am also a member of the military system, let's wait for the opportunity."

Chu Jun nodded and said: "Okay, let's look at the situation first. I won't deliberately target Lu Buwei, but I won't take sides either."

Xiang Shaolong sighed secretly: "Lu Buwei is showing his wrong feelings, what he is facing is not a normal person at all."

The prince doesn't want to know whose son he is. He is already a king, so what can he get if he recognizes Lu Buwei as his father? He will only regard Lu Buwei as an obstacle preventing him from taking power.Even if Lu Buwei is really his father, he will eradicate him mercilessly, even if the whole Daqin pays for it, even if the national strength declines.As long as you can secure the position of king, everything else is fine.

Xiang Shaolong said: "Since we want to draw a clear line with Lu Buwei, the queen mother is especially important. The late king is mourning, and the queen mother is sad. As a son, the crown prince should care more about the queen mother and pay more attention to her."

What Xiang Shaolong is most worried about now is the Queen Mother.

Zhu Ji is dissolute by nature, although Lai Ai was eunuched by herself, there are not only Lai Ai men, will Lu Buwei give her another man if she likes her?

If Zhu Ji just raises a little boy, even if she raises a few more, as long as she doesn't participate in the power struggle, Xiang Shaolong doesn't care.She is most afraid that she will only favor one person, and this face is not willing to be lonely, if she wants to gain power, she will cause big trouble.

But he couldn't say these words directly to Chu Jun, so should he tell Chu Jun: "Be careful of your mother stealing people."

Not to mention the prince, even if he was still a farmer, he would have to play with his life.

Xiang Shaolong now has only one belief, that everything will be fine until the crown prince is in charge.

Generals Ji Gong and Xu Xian visited Xiang Shaolong together.

Xiang Shaolong knew that it seemed that the military wanted to have a showdown with him regarding Chu Jun's background.

After being seated in the living room, Mr. Mo said without any politeness, "There have always been rumors about Chujun's life experience, and the rumors have become more and more serious recently, what does Shaolong think?"

Xiang Shaolong said decisively: "It's all nonsense, don't pay attention to it at all."

The two generals looked at each other, they didn't expect Xiang Shaolong to answer so simply.

It was still Li who said openly: "The royal blood has a great relationship, we can't ignore these rumors."

Xiang Shaolong said, "What do you want?"

Gong Gongdao: "We must confirm that the prince is of the blood of the previous king before we can fully support it."

Xiang Shaolong asked: "How to confirm?"

Gong Gongdao: "Recognize relatives with a drop of blood."

The method of dripping blood to recognize relatives was actually created during the Three Kingdoms period. It was recorded at that time that the method of dripping bones was to drop the blood of the living on the bones of the dead to see if it penetrated; there was also a method of combining blood, which appeared in the Ming Dynasty. The blood of two living people is dripped in the vessel to see if they are integrated into one.

Here in order to conform to the original plot.

Xiang Shaolong asked: "Since there have always been rumors, why didn't you ask the late king for proof?"

The two were at a loss for words, how could they have the courage to ask King Zhuang Xiang: "Is your son your own?"

Xu Xian said: "Although there were rumors at the beginning, they were not serious. We always thought that someone was slandering Lu Buwei. But now the rumors are getting worse and worse, so we have to pay attention."

Xiang Shaolong said: "Now that the rumors are spreading more and more powerful, it is not surprising. We can even guess who is fanning the flames, but the attitude of the two generals is worrying."

Ji Gongdao: "This involves royal orthodoxy, we must be cautious."

Xiang Shaolong said: "The rumors have always been there, and there has been no change, but the attitude of the two generals has suddenly changed. Is it because the former king has gone, and the two generals feel that the remaining orphans and widows are weak and can be bullied?"

Xiang Shaolong doesn't think that soldiers must be straightforward, and they care more about the purity of the royal blood than their own wealth and life.Bringing it up now is not for the greater right to speak, and Xiang Shaolong has no intention of saving face for them.

The two were furious, and Gong Gong said: "Shaolong, we came to you to discuss this matter as if you were our own. I know that you and the prince have a deep relationship, but the previous king treated you well. Why do you disregard the kindness of the previous king?"

It seems that Xiang Shaolong is greedy for power because he is valued by the prince, and they are dedicated to the country.

Xiang Shaolong was indeed greedy for the position of the crown prince, and he went to great lengths to gain access to Qin Shihuang, wasn't he?But the two generals were not without plans. They stood up at this time to show their strength in front of the prince, and wanted the prince to give them more rights.If the prince disagrees, they will support Cheng Jiao, believing that Cheng Jiao will be able to meet their requirements in order to become a king.

Xiang Shaolong said: "Here, there is nothing to discuss. I have never believed in these rumors. As for the kindness of the late king, since I entered the Qin Dynasty, everything I have done has been worthy of the late king. What I have to do now is to do my best. Assist the prince and lead me to rule the world."

The two generals saw Xiang Shaolong's categorical words, without the slightest room for maneuver, and they were even more suspicious of the prince's blood in their hearts.

Gong Gongdao: "Our military is only loyal to the orthodoxy of the royal family, we must not be so ambiguous in the past."

Xiang Shaolong said: "I'm also a general, you still can't represent the whole army."

Duke Mo was furious. He was the oldest member of the court with civil and military qualifications, and even the former kings dared not talk to him like that.Xiang Shaolong is young, although he is powerful and capable, but he despises him so much, how can he let it go.

Xu Xian saw that Duke Lu was trembling with anger, and quickly comforted him: "Duke Mo calm down!"

He also didn't expect that Xiang Shaolong would dare to be so hard on them.All along, Xiang Shaolong has always respected them very much, but he never expected to turn against them for the sake of the crown prince.

Xu Xian said to Xiang Shaolong: "What if we must do this?"

Xiang Shaolong said: "How do you prove that this method is effective?"

The two were stunned. They firmly believed in the method of confessing relatives by dripping blood. They never thought about whether this method is really accurate.
