Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 422: The subordinate Lu Buwei meets the prince!

Soon, Zhao Yun entered the palace with a group of ministers dispatched from Qin.

Looking at Ying Jun sitting above them, everyone bowed their hands and said in unison: "I will see you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince!"

Ying Jun nodded slightly, glanced at the ministers below, raised his hands and said: "Everyone, I have called you here today because I have something important to announce!"

With that said, Yingjun gestured to Zhao Yun below.

Zhao Yun immediately took out the county system written by Ying Jun from his arms and handed it to the minister closest to him.

The minister quickly took it with both hands and read the contents carefully.

The other ministers looked at the bamboo slips with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.

After a moment, the minister's expression suddenly changed, and even the hand he was holding gradually began to tremble a little. He looked at Yingjun with horror in his eyes: "Your Highness, this is not allowed!"

After hearing what the minister said, the faces of other ministers around him became surprised, and they became even more curious.

Ying Jun's face turned cold, he looked at the ministers below and said solemnly: "What's wrong with abolishing the enfeoffment and establishing counties?"

"Do you think I am not qualified, or do you think the new system has affected the interests or status that some of you have sought after the Zhao Kingdom?"

puff~
The minister standing below suddenly knelt on the ground with a face full of horror: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please calm down, I... I did not mean this!"

"It's just that the enfeoffment system has lasted for hundreds of years in the Qin State. Now rashly recommending a new system will inevitably plunge the Qin State into chaos. Moreover, this system will make many generals who have made great contributions to the Qin State feel dissatisfied!"

When other ministers around him heard this, they immediately understood and immediately knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

But Lu Buwei walked up to the minister, took the bamboo slip from his hand, and slowly examined it.

Seeing this scene, Ying Jun, who was sitting above, raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him with an indifferent expression.

After a while, Lu Buwei also read the content on the bamboo slips, with a look of horror on his face, and said loudly: "Okay, okay, if we have this system, we can ensure peace in the country!"

"In the past, King Wen and King Wu of Zhou also enfeoffed many children with the same surname. However, the result was that these children were divided and alienated from each other. In the end, they even ended up killing each other like enemies. Even the princes attacked each other. In the end, Even Emperor Zhou could not prevent such a tragedy from happening."

"If this system existed back then, why would the Zhou Dynasty need to be destroyed?"

"Now that the Zhao Kingdom has been destroyed, which one of the remaining five countries can stop the unification of our Great Qin? Soon, the Great Qin will be able to unify the six countries and become the overlord!"

"But if we continue to adopt the enfeoffment system, after unification, who of you can guarantee that Great Qin will not repeat the mistakes of Zhou Dynasty? Who of you can guarantee that Great Qin can survive forever?"

"The system of prefectures and counties should be adopted, and all civil servants and generals should be rewarded for their merits. The land under the princes should also be returned to the hands of the people, instead of occupying it for waiting. Only in this way can the Qin State avoid the occurrence of civil strife. The subjects will live in peace as a result.”

"Only when the country is peaceful and the people are safe, is the foundation for a strong country! Therefore, I feel that if Qin wants to become strong, it must abolish the old system and create a new system."

Lu Buwei's words instantly made all the ministers in the hall speechless, with a trace of anger filling their eyes.

Ying Jun, who was sitting above, looked at the man who had just spoken with a strange look in his eyes.

He knew most of the ministers in the Qin court, but he had never seen this person.

Faced with such a pair of ministers, they can still remain calm in the face of danger and argue with reason, which is much better than those ministers who can only deal with trends.

I didn’t expect there to be such a far-sighted person in Qin!
Thinking of this, Yingjun couldn't help but touch his chin and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

Seeing Yingjun asking questions, Lu Buwei immediately turned to look at Yingjun, bent down and bowed, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Lu Buwei!"

Lu Buwei!
Is it the businessman Lu Buwei who invested in Zhao State and eventually became the Prime Minister of Qin State?
Even after Yingzheng ascended the throne, this person still monopolized the power of Qin for several years.No wonder they have such a long-term vision!

I didn't expect to meet him here!

Ying Jun frowned slightly, looking at Lu Buwei standing below with complicated eyes, and then asked: "When did you enter the Qin Kingdom?"

Lu Buwei looked up in surprise and glanced at Ying Jun sitting above him. He didn't know why he asked this question, but he still lowered his head and replied:

"Reporting to Your Highness, I was in Handan with Prince Zhu's son Gongzi Yiren. A few months ago, when His Royal Highness led troops to attack Handan and defeated the Zhao army, I returned to Qin with Gongzi Yiren. "

After hearing this, Yingjun recalled it.

Historically, Lu Buwei indeed accompanied Ying Yiren in Handan, and it was not until Wang Zizhu was established as the crown prince that he escaped from Handan.

Thinking about it now, when they conquered Handan, they were rescued and allowed them to return to Qin early.

It's just that now the person who is established as the prince is not Ying Zhu in history, but Ying Jun, so Lu Buwei's investment plan naturally came to nothing.

Lu Buwei was extremely ambitious, and he was also a very intelligent and loyal person to his country.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to help King Qin put down the rebellion during the Lao-Ai Rebellion.

Right now, there is a shortage of manpower. If you can be loyal to him, you can take him under his command.

After all, he Yingjun was not as kind-hearted as the First Emperor back then.

"I don't want to ask about your purpose of coming to Zhao State this time, but since you are here, you should concentrate on your work and manage the land well."

"You will assist General Zhao Yun in handling the matter of recommending the system of prefectures and counties. Are you willing?"

Yingjun looked at him with an extremely serious face and said.

When Lu Buwei heard this, he suddenly felt joyful in his heart.

Although he knew that Yingjun was using this matter to test him, in the currently huge Qin State, there was no one except King Qin.

No, even the King of Qin was very optimistic about Yingjun, and he had the most power in the entire court.

What's more, Ying Jun has been appointed as the crown prince and will become the new king of Qin soon. Only by joining him can we achieve limitless achievements in the future.

But if you want to recommend the county system, you are bound to offend many powerful people, and you may even lose your life.

For him, this was not a risky job.

Lu Buwei lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then looked at Ying Jun sitting above him with a firm expression and shouted:
"The minister is willing!"

Yingjun nodded with expectation on his face, waved his hand and said, "If there is nothing else, just step back!"

Now he doesn't want to have too many negotiations with Lu Buwei prematurely.

At least not now!

After all, it was because Lu Buwei knew the First Emperor too well that he controlled him for several years.
