Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 293 Lu Buwei visits the Prime Minister’s Mansion!

Upon hearing this, the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately left in a hurry.

Notices issued by the prime minister's office to solicit customers were posted all over the streets, and countless passers-by gathered to watch.

Most of the people in Xianyang City were farmers and could not read a word. How could they know the contents of the notice? They all stood there, pointing to the notice on the wall and talking with each other.

"What do you think is written on this wall?"

"I don't know these characters Qin, but these people are all members of the Prime Minister's Mansion. They have noble status, and the content above must be extraordinary!"

"It's quite extraordinary. It says here that the Prime Minister's Mansion wants to recruit outstanding figures from all over the world as its clients. Anyone who has confidence in themselves can go to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion to participate in the selection."

"What? Did I hear that right? The Prime Minister's Office is actually going to start recruiting people?"

"My lord! To be able to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion is because my ancestors have accumulated virtue for eight lifetimes. Even if I am asked to sweep the floor and raise horses first, I am willing to do it. It is a great blessing to be able to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to work!"

"But the Prime Minister's Mansion has never recruited clients. Why did it suddenly start recruiting talents this time? It even recruited talents from all directions. Anyone who has confidence in themselves will have a chance. In this case, we ordinary people can also Any chance?"

"You're overthinking, that's the Prime Minister's Mansion! Who can be favored by the Prime Minister without any skills? We ordinary people are not even qualified to sign for the Prime Minister!"

"..."

While everyone was discussing, Ying Zichu and Lu Buwei, who were wandering on the streets of Xianyang City not far away, heard the comments of the people around them. They couldn't help but frown slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes.

Ying Zichu is the son of Ying Zizhu and the grandson of the current King of Qin.

He has been living as a hostage in Handan for these years, and even gave birth to a son in Handan, named Ying Zheng!
After the Battle of Handan, the two of them were sent back to Xianyang and settled in Yingzhu's mansion.

At this time, Ying Zichu was in his prime.

"Sir, why do you think the Prime Minister suddenly thought of recruiting talents from all over the world to live in his mansion as guests?"

Ying Zichu looked at the bustling Prime Minister's Mansion in front of him, and looked at Lu Buwei beside him with confusion in his eyes.

Lu Buwei paused, and then said in a deep voice: "The Prime Minister is the Third Duke of the Qin Dynasty. He has extremely high prestige and power in the court. He only obeys the constraints of the King. This must be the King's wish!"

"Nowadays, the successive wars have caused the Qin State to lose many soldiers and heroes. The recruitment of retainers now is also to reserve generals for the future development of the Qin Dynasty."

Although he said this, Lu Buwei's eyes flickered and he had a lot of thoughts in his heart.

How could he not know the Prime Minister's intention of recruiting followers?

Today, Wang Zijun's strength is gradually growing, becoming stronger and stronger, and has a very high reputation in the military.

This time, they solved two major problems of Qin Dynasty, repelled the armies of several countries, and guarded Xianyang City.

With such great achievements, how can we not make people jealous?

I'm afraid that when Wang Zijun returns to Xianyang this time, many people will definitely come to visit and flatter him.

This will inevitably affect Fan Sui's status in the court.

This is similar to how he does business. Once another entity appears in the market that affects his own interests, he will definitely not sit idly by.

What's more, Lu Buwei has staked his entire future on Ying Zichu.

Not only did Ying Jun's prestige in the Qin State, but also his achievements far surpass that of Ying Zichu's father Ying Zhu.

Once Ying Zhu fails to become the prince of Qin, all his efforts will be in vain.

For the current plan, this situation can only be changed by making Ying Zhu the Prince of Qin with the help of Prime Minister Fan Sui.

Thinking of this, Lu Buwei's eyes were sharp and he turned to look at Ying Zichu:
"Zi Chu, your father and Prime Minister Fan have always had a good relationship. Since we are already here, why not go and visit him? After all, we will all settle down in Xianyang City in the future. Your father also has a good relationship with Shandan Military Racecourse. The matter is long gone, if anything happens in the future, I can ask Prime Minister Fan to help take care of it!"

Ying Zichu nodded slightly, nodded and said: "That's fine, since we are back in Xianyang now, we should pay him a visit!"

After saying that, the two of them came to the prime minister's door.

The guard who was standing at the door to maintain order saw the two people approaching, and said proudly: "The applicants should line up at the back!"

The two were stunned and looked at each other.

This is someone who regards them as applicants for recruitment!

Lu Buwei quickly stepped forward and explained with a smile on his face: "Little brother, you must have misunderstood!"

"We are not here to recruit hangers-on."

As he spoke, he turned around and pointed at Ying Zichu who was standing beside him and introduced: "This is the son of Prince Qin Ying Zhu, and I am his..."

Lu Buwei hesitated, not knowing how to introduce himself.

After all, after returning from Handan, he didn't have any official position and had been following Ying Zichu.When Ying Zichu saw this, he immediately said, "He is my teacher!"

Lu Buwei nodded, with a hint of joy on his face: "I would like to ask my little brother to go and tell you that the two of us are here to visit the Prime Minister!"

The guard glanced at the two of them and saw that the son of Prince Qin Yingzhu had indeed returned to Xianyang not long ago, not to mention how a servant of his own dared to question their identities, and then said: "Wait a moment, you two!"

After saying that, he turned around and entered the mansion to pass the news.

Not long after, he hurried out, bowed to the two of them and said, "The Prime Minister invites you!"

Lu Buwei stretched out his hand and said to Ying Zichu beside him: "Master, please!"

Ying Zichu waved his sleeves and entered the Prime Minister's Mansion under the leadership of his guards.

Lu Buwei also followed closely behind.

Under the leadership of the guards, the two people quickly arrived in the lobby.

Seeing Fan Sui sitting upright, he quickly stepped forward and bowed: "Ying Zichu has met Prime Minister Fan!"

Fan Sui raised his hand slightly and said with a smile: "Young Master, you're welcome. Please take a seat!"

Ying Zichu and Lu Buwei turned around and walked to the chairs beside them to sit down.

The servant immediately placed the hot tea in front of the two of them in a sensible manner.

Fan Sui looked at Ying Zichu, his face full of joy: "I didn't expect that Zichu has become a young man after not seeing each other for such a long time!"

"I have really suffered as a hostage in Handan all these years!"

Ying Zichu smiled slightly and said quickly: "Forget it, Prime Minister Fan. As a member of the Yingshi clan, Zichu can only do something for the Qin Dynasty. Besides, I am only a hostage in Zhao State, fighting bloody battles with the enemy on the front line." Compared with our soldiers, this little hardship is nothing!"

"Hahaha!"

Fan Sui laughed loudly, his eyes full of relief: "Okay, you can teach me!"

After speaking, he looked at Lu Buwei who was sitting next to him. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand and asked, "This is..."

Ying Zichu stood up immediately, raised his finger and pointed to Lu Buwei beside him and introduced: "This is the master I met in Handan! All these years, I have relied on him to teach me knowledge in Handan."

Lu Buwei quickly stood up and saluted Fan Sui: "Lu Buwei, I have met the Prime Minister!"

Hearing this, Fan Sui looked at Lu Buwei a few more times and nodded with satisfaction: "Sit down and drink tea. Your father and I have a very good relationship, so you're welcome!"

The two turned around and sat down again.

Ying Zichu picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, then turned to look at Fan Sui who was sitting above him: "Zi Chu saw Prime Minister Fan soliciting customers at the door. Did he find any talented people?"

Fan Sui sighed and shook his head: "Although there are many people who applied, none of them meet my expectations."

Ying Zichu frowned slightly, feeling a little confused.

With so many people applying, how come they can’t even find a single customer?
It seems that the retainers hired by Prime Minister Fan must have some other purpose.

With doubts in his heart, he looked at Fan Sui: "I don't know what kind of retainer Prime Minister Fan wants to find. Zi Chu will see if he can help!"

Fan Sui glanced at the two of them and said bluntly: "Actually, what I'm looking for is not a retainer, but someone with great talents who can share my worries and solve my problems!"

"Now that King Qin's health is getting worse day by day, I originally wanted to suggest that the king appoint the crown prince as soon as possible to prevent unexpected events. Who would have thought that the four kingdoms would invade our country Qin at this time."

When Lu Buwei heard this, his thoughts were racing in his eyes, and he looked at Fan Sui expectantly: "Then which prince does Prime Minister Fan want to recommend as the crown prince?"

Fan Sui turned his head and glanced at Lu Buwei, then looked at Ying Zichu again, murmuring: "The two princes have their own strengths and weaknesses. Yingjun is brave and brave, no one can match him, and he also has a very high prestige in the army. For our great Qin Make great military exploits."

"But he has been on the battlefield all year round, and his violent spirit is too strong. He has always said that if he were a general, he would be able to lead the Qin soldiers invincibly, but he is not suitable for the position of king!"

"If Ying Jun is the king of the Qin Dynasty, with his uncompromising character, any minister in the court would dare to give advice easily. Over time, it will definitely cause disharmony in the court and put the Qin Dynasty into crisis."

Speaking of this, Lu Buwei's face showed a hint of joy.

Just as he thought.

Yingjun is only suitable to lead troops in war, not to be a king at all.

As long as Prime Minister Fan is on their side, Ying Zhu still has a chance to become the king of Qin.

Then his investment efforts will not be in vain!
