My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 658: Guo Kai, the most loyal minister of Zhao, is in action! Ying Chengxuan: Lao Deng, it’s time to pay the rent!

Zhao Wangqian's expression changed when he heard the words 'Dune Rebellion', which directly changed the history of Zhao State.

King Wuling of Zhao and King Yan of Zhao both had a mature and stable eldest son as the prince who was convinced by both the government and the public. They both had a favored concubine, and the favored concubine gave birth to a younger son who was very popular with them.

King Wuling of Zhao and King Yan of Zhao also made the same choice. They both deposed the eldest son from the position of prince and designated the younger son as prince. The younger son eventually inherited the throne.

After King Wuling of Zhao abdicated to the throne, the eldest son Zhang and Tian Buli conspired to ambush King Huiwen who succeeded him, but were defeated by Prime Minister Fei Yi with his life, and were eventually suppressed by Li Dui and Gong Zicheng.

However, after Li Dui and Gong Zicheng suppressed the rebellion, they sealed the palace of King Zhao Wuling, starved King Zhao Wuling to death, and ousted King Huiwen. Gong Zicheng became the prime minister and Li Dui became the secret service officer. The two jointly controlled the Zhao Guochaotang.

How similar is the former eldest son Zhang to the current eldest son Jia!
How similar is the former King Huiwen to his Zhao Wangqian!

What’s even more coincidental is that Li Dui, who committed regicide and usurped power, was the great-great-grandfather of Li Mu, the number one man in the Zhao Kingdom’s military today!
This damn sense of déjà vu!
What's the difference?
The first is that King Zhao died at the end of his life, but King Zhao Wuling took the initiative to take the Zen throne. King Huiwen was cared for by King Zhao Wuling, but King Zhao Qian had no one to look after him.

The second reason is that Li Mu has never interacted with other young masters, but has only publicly expressed his appreciation for the eldest son Jia!
Imagine that if Li Dui had supported the eldest son Zhang, then King Huiwen might not even be able to become a puppet!

Suddenly realizing that all the necessary conditions for recreating the Dune Rebellion have been gathered, and even worse, Zhao Wangqian's face turned pale.

Worried about his life, Zhao Wangqian subconsciously turned to Guo Kai for help: "I am actually in such a critical situation?!"

"Master, how should I break this situation!"

"Are we going to punish both Master Jia and Lord Wu An to death?!"

"As well as Zuo Shi (Chu Long) who supported Lord Wu An in leading the expedition, should we also be held guilty?"

Guo Kai comforted in a warm voice: "Don't worry, Your Majesty! Don't worry!"

"Although Gongzi Jia was deposed from the position of prince, he is still quite famous in the government and the public."

"For the sake of the reputation of the king and the stability of the court, please do not touch it lightly!"

"Now that Qin is powerful, Lord Wu'an is one of the few generals in the court who can defeat Qin."

"For the survival of the country and the stability of the ancestral hall, we must not move lightly!"

"As for Zuo Shi? As an assistant minister left by the previous king, how can the king accuse him of a crime?"

Zhao Wangqian's eyes flickered a little.

If Guo Kai agreed with his statement, then Zhao Wangqian would definitely be wary of Guo Kaixin.

But Guo Kai actually vetoed Zhao Wangqian's proposal!

Zhao Wangqian inevitably had a little more trust in Guo Kai.

Zhao Wangqian pretended to be anxious and said: "This won't work, and that won't work either. Master, do you want to sit back and watch others make the same mistakes as King Huiwen!"

Guo Kai said sincerely: "The Lord humiliates his ministers to death!"

"As an auxiliary minister left behind by the late king, and also as the king's wife, how can I sit back and watch the king fall into danger?"

"I would like to first accuse Young Master Jia of being imprisoned, and then the king will come forward to pardon him and change his death sentence to imprisonment."

"In this way, we can not only show the king's benevolence, but also keep Young Master Jia under guard and avoid his unrest."

"When the internal problems are stabilized, I will order Wu'an Lord to lead the army to attack and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop while Qin is tired."

"Unexpectedly, the great ambition of the first king!"

Zhao Wangqian thought carefully about Guo Kai's plan and was shocked to find that Guo Kai's plan had no harm to him and almost no benefit to Guo Kai.

Is Guo Kai really as loyal a minister as he said?
Zhao Wangqian's eyes were a little more touched and trusting: "Fortunately, I have a master who plans for me."

"Otherwise, even if I die, I won't know whose hand I died!"

Guo Kai bowed slightly, so that his eyes were level with Zhao Wangqian, and his voice was gentle but firm:
"My lord, I am willing to go through fire and water for your Majesty, no matter what!"

Zhao Wangqian cupped his hands in gratitude and shouted: "I thank you, Master!"

Looking at Zhao Wangqian who was bowing and cupping his hands, Guo Kai revealed a hint of hidden sneer at the corner of his mouth.
-
at the same time.

Shu County is governed by Chengdu County.

Lu Buwei was nestling next to a pile of ice, holding a roll of silk in his hand, letting the maid fan him in the cool breeze, with a bright smile on his face.

Zhuang Jia scooped out a spoonful of fermented glutinous rice from a wooden barrel placed in a bronze ice mirror and poured it into Lu Buwei's lord. He had no choice but to remind: "My lord, you have been watching it for three days."

"Let's drink some ice wine first to relieve the heat."

Lu Buwei took the wine and drank it in one gulp.

The cold and refreshing glutinous rice fell down the throat into his belly, making Lu Buwei feel more comfortable and laughed heartily: "I can't put it down, I can't put it down!"

"I have never misjudged Mr. Chang'an."

"Not afraid of the stench, not hesitant to be criticized, but determined to go his own way to cure the golden juice, and finally achieved such a great benefit to all people."

"What does it mean to care for the people?"

"This is to love and benefit the people!"

"Chang'an Jun's single action is better than all the old man's ingenuity!"

Although Lu Buwei made a lot of efforts and formulated many strategies during his reign, the lives of the Guizhou leaders were only slightly better, far from meeting the standard of 'loving and benefiting the people'.

Ying Chengyu seldom interferes in the affairs of the government, but with this gold juice treatment method, Ying Chengyu can make the life of the leader of Guizhou in the world much easier.

Not to mention the Chang'an paper, Chang'an plow and other objects that Ying Chengyu developed before.

Lu Buwei sighed with emotion: "I'm so old, I'm so far away from Chang'an!"

Zhuang Jia poured the glutinous rice wine for Lu Buwei and said with a smile: "After the Lord of Chang'an destroyed Chu, he found traces of me."

"I was originally planning to go north to Zhao to continue my work, but I was forcefully dragged back to Qin by Lord Chang'an."

"On the way, I had a hearty chat with Lord Chang'an, and Lord Chang'an's words impressed me deeply."

Lu Buwei asked curiously: "Oh?"

"What is it?"

Zhuang Jia raised his head and said seriously: "Technology is the primary productive force!" Lu Buwei looked puzzled: "Technology is the primary productive force?"

Lu Buwei knew every word.

But how come these words were combined into words that Lu Buwei couldn't understand at all!

Zhuang Jia explained: "Chang'an Jun believes that the ability of all people to change nature, conquer nature and produce food, soldiers, armor, cloth and other items is productivity."

"And I think that the reason why ancient times, medieval times, modern times, and today are constantly advancing is that productivity is constantly improving."

"The higher the productivity, the more food and cloth will be available, and it will be easier for all people to eat and clothe themselves."

"And technology is the primary productive force!"

Lu Buwei thoughtfully said: "That's why Chang'an Lord has just focused on studying craftsmanship and farming, and developing Chang'an plow, Chang'an paper, and gold juice to treat excrement!"

"In your opinion, Lord Chang'an, as long as you increase the so-called productivity, you can achieve the goal of caring for the people?"

At this moment, there is a reasonable explanation for the fact that before the age of sixteen, Ying Chengyu, who liked to travel around mountains and rivers, fish and cultivate flowers, suddenly plunged into wood and gold juice after he turned sixteen.

It's not because Ying Chengyu likes craftsmanship and farming.

Ying Chengyu is just practicing his own way!
Zhuang Jia shook his head: "I also asked Lord Chang'an the same way at that time."

"Chang'an Jun said that technology is the primary productive force, but it is not the whole of productivity."

"National policies, laws, roads, etc. all affect productivity."

"Even if productivity develops further, if the rich are exploited to the extreme, the poor will still have to struggle hard for a meal or a piece of tile."

"Of course, Chang'an Jun's ability only lies in his skills."

"As for the rest, Lord Chang'an doesn't understand, so he doesn't think about it."

To Lu Buwei's ears, Ying Chengyu was clearly saying that it would be up to Ying Chengyu to grow enough corn to feed everyone in the world.

But the matter of distributing these millets to the people of the world requires Lu Buwei to think about countermeasures.

After Lu Buwei was silent for a moment, he suddenly laughed heartily: "Chang'an Jun is asking for rent from this old man."

"Now, the old man's food, clothing and residence are all supported by Lord Chang'an."

"Since Mr. Chang'an wants to ask for advice, how can I refuse?"

"Of course, Lord Chang'an, aren't you afraid that your Majesty will find out that this is an old-fashioned strategy?"

Zhuang Jia said seriously: "I think that if it is just advice and suggestions, given the friendship between Chang'an Lord and the king, the king should not think too much about it."

"Since Lord Chang'an has done this, he already knows what he is doing."

A trace of excitement flashed in Lu Buwei's eyes: "Let's go."

"I'm old, but I can't owe anyone any favors."

"Since Lord Chang'an has something to ask for, I should give it some thought."

Zhuang Jia couldn't help but smile.

Lu Buwei was not a man of idle temper. Even after he was dismissed as prime minister, he would convene many retainers to discuss the general situation of the world every day.

After moving to Chengdu and being warned by Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei couldn't express his thoughts or even put them on bamboo slips. He was so depressed that he became negative and decadent.

But now, Lu Buwei's eyes lit up!

Zhuang Jia bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, be benevolent and righteous!"

Lu Buwei was so excited that he returned to the study to think about countermeasures.

But the servant Wei An strode into the backyard and shouted with a gasp, "Master, Chang'an Jun's five hundred soldiers are here to see you!"

Lu Buwei looked back in astonishment: "Are you sure it's the hexagram master?"

Wei An nodded vigorously: "The seals are all correct."

"When the head of the family entered Shu in the past, it was Gua Fu who led Chang'an Lord's personal soldiers to protect him. If not for Gua Fu's intervention, I would have died in Neishi County long ago. I will never admit the wrong person!"

Lu Buwei and Zhuang Jia looked at each other and could see the shock in each other's eyes.

Who doesn’t know that Guafu is deeply trusted by Ying Chengyu and even often serves as Ying Chengyu’s spokesperson?
Now that Ying Chengyu has sent the hexagram master, there must be something important!

Lu Buwei said firmly: "Please come in quickly!"

Picking up his lower clothes, Lu Buwei ran all the way into the front hall and saw the fortune teller already waiting here.

"The 500 hexagram masters under the command of Lord Chang'an are paying homage to Marquis Wenxin!"

Lu Buwei returned the courtesy with his hands raised: "No need to be polite. Lord Chang'an sent the Master of Hexagram Five Hundred to come, but there is something important?"

The hexagram master took out a bamboo tube from his arms and held it up with both hands: "This is the handwriting of the head of the family. Please read it, Marquis Wenxin!"

After checking the letter sealing you, Lu Buwei opened the bamboo tube, took out the silk and scanned it quickly with his eyes.

[The prince of Chang'an became a dragon and paid homage to Marquis Wenxin from afar. 】

【Nowadays, the Qin Dynasty has a series of successful external battles and abundant domestic crops, which is really a prosperous scene. 】

[However, today Qin is actually in danger. 】

[The king intends to govern the people of Guandong and the officials at the lower levels, but the people of Guandong and the officials at the lower levels have second thoughts. 】

[In order to solve this problem, the king has only been able to rest for at most two or three hours a day recently. There has been no good news in the harem for half a year. 】

[Due to my lack of intelligence, Your Majesty, I can only deal with the pack of wolves alone, becoming increasingly haggard but making little progress. 】

[I look at it and sigh with sorrow all night long! 】

[There are many virtuous people in the world, but I think that only Marquis Wenxin can relieve the king's worries. 】

[Therefore, I would like to ask Marquis Wenxin to return to the court to help your Majesty! 】
