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

Chapter 802: What have I done for Qin? I actually sat on the stage! Master and disciple, monarch and minister!

Looking at Lu Buwei who was bowing and shouting loudly in front of him, Ying Zheng felt an electric current under his feet and rushed directly to his head.

Mr. Zhong, you finally agree with my aspirations!

Although Ying Zheng knew that it was Ying Zheng who took the lead and embarked on a path of no return, which forced Lu Buwei to support Ying Zheng.

But the biggest political difference between Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei was thus resolved!

Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel a little proud and confident. He turned to Lü Buwei and bowed in return, saying in a deep voice: "With the help of Marquis Wenxin, why should I worry about not being able to accomplish my great cause?"

"Pass the widow's order!"

"Depose Xiang Bangwan from his position as prime minister, and promote Shangqing Wang Wan to be the governor of Handan County."

"Promote Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei to be the prime minister of Great Qin!"

Even though they had been mentally prepared, when Ying Zheng personally announced the order, the Qin officials could not help but feel complicated.

With Lu Buwei's return to the court, the existing political ecology of the Qin Dynasty will be subverted again.

I don’t know how many officials will be ruined because of this, and I don’t know how many officials will be promoted because of this.

However, faced with the trend jointly promoted by Ying Zheng, Ying Chengjiao and Lu Buwei, all the officials in the court could only bow and shout: "Greetings to the Prime Minister!"

Lü Buwei turned around and looked back at his ministers. He calmly bowed and returned the greeting with a faint smile on his face: "I hope you can help me in the future!"

After the greeting, Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Handan is now stable, I am very relieved and have no more worries."

"Pass on my order."

"All troops must assemble and set out at sunrise tomorrow to return to Xianyang."

Then Ying Zheng looked at Wang Wan and said gently, "So, I'll trouble you, Lord Shangqing, to take care of the affairs of Zhao."

All the courtiers bowed and saluted again: "Yes!"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "Dismiss the court!"

Then, Ying Chengjiao ran away!

Ying Zheng was stunned, and then he shouted: "All the ministers, please leave the court, my brother, please stay!"

Without even turning his head, Ying Chengjiao shouted loudly: "My brother has a stomachache! Go and change your clothes first!"

Don't think that I don't know why you want me to stay.

After all, I am a general who has killed over a million enemies, a very fierce general!

I can't always be the one passing messages to you, breaking the ice, and easing conflicts, right?

Wouldn’t that mean my brother has become a little eunuch?

Brother, handle your own business!
Seeing Ying Chengjiao running out of the hall in just a dozen breaths, Ying Zheng laughed and cursed: "This brat!"

Lü Buwei also looked at Ying Chengjiao's back and smiled warmly: "The king has a good brother."

"There are so many kings in the world, but the only one who could have such a brother was King Wu of Zhou!"

When Lu Buwei compared Ying Zheng to King Wu of Zhou, he was comparing Ying Chengjiao to Duke of Zhou!

This was also Lu Buwei's further statement that he would support Ying Zheng in unifying the world, and secretly expressed his hope that Ying Zheng could guide Ying Chengjiao to follow the path that Zhou Gong had taken.

However, Ying Zheng said calmly but firmly: "My achievements will definitely surpass those of King Wu of Zhou."

"The virtue of the king's younger brother is far superior to that of Zhou Gongdan!"

I am just me, not a king like King Wu of Zhou!

The king's brother is the king's brother, not a minister like Zhou Gongdan!

Through Ying Zheng's words, Lu Buwei felt Ying Zheng's ambition, which was as hot and surging as a volcano.

Ying Zheng's goal was even greater than that of King Wu of Zhou, who laid the foundation for the Zhou Dynasty.

When we think about the fact that Ying Zheng had never granted fiefdom to any courtier except Ying Chengjiao since he took power, the fact that Ying Zheng invited Lu Buwei back to the court but never gave him an inch of land or fiefdom, and his admiration for the county system, it is self-evident what kind of era Ying Zheng wanted to create!

After only briefly imagining Ying Zheng's goal, Lu Buwei sighed in his heart.

The king’s ambition is so terrifying!

I didn't die from the poison, but I'm afraid I'll die of exhaustion in the Qin court!
Lu Buwei was thinking about how to persuade Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng didn't say anything on his own initiative.

As the ministers left Longtai Palace, silence fell throughout the hall, and the suppressed breathing of the eunuchs and ministers seemed so harsh.

A quarter of an hour later, Ying Zheng cursed Ying Chengjiao inwardly, and finally spoke first: "Come here, let him take a seat!"

Several ministers looked at each other and hurriedly moved a soft couch to place next to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng ordered calmly: "Everyone get out!"

When there were only two people left in the hall, Ying Zheng stretched out his right hand toward the couch beside him and said, "Prime Minister, please come in!"

Lü Buwei smiled and shook his head: "The ruler is the ruler, the minister is the minister, each has his own duties and each has his own place."

"This minister should not be on stage."

Ying Zheng said in a louder voice: "I order the Prime Minister to sit on the stage!"

Lü Buwei responded calmly: "What have I done for Qin? Why do you want me to sit on the stage?"

Ying Zheng: ￣へ￣
This boomerang really hurts!
If my brother were here, he would definitely not put me in such a difficult position!
But unfortunately, Ying Chengjiao left without looking back, so Ying Zheng had no choice but to personally carry the couch down from the high platform, and then put it heavily in front of Lu Buwei, and said in a deep voice: "If the Prime Minister does not want to go on stage, I will go down the steps to face him!"

After saying this, Ying Zheng was sitting in front of Lu Buwei, and his voice became more serious: "After the court session, the Prime Minister has been reluctant to leave. I think he has something important to discuss with me."

"Now there are only you and me in the palace, so there is no need for you to worry, just speak your mind!"

In Ying Zheng's view, Lu Buwei would definitely nag Ying Zheng, after all, it was Ying Zheng's responsibility that the Qin Dynasty was in such a dangerous situation.

In the past, whenever Ying Zheng made a mistake, although Lu Buwei would not scold him in front of his ministers, he would definitely nag him for a long time in private.

Although Ying Zheng was extremely resistant to Lu Buwei's nagging as an elder and teacher, in order to get Lu Buwei's help, Ying Zheng accepted it!

However, beyond Ying Zheng's expectation, Lu Buwei actually smiled and said softly, "The reason I stayed here is just to tell the king."

"Your Majesty's talent is far beyond my expectations!" Ying Zheng was slightly stunned.

Lü Buwei continued, "After destroying Wei, I thought that the Qin would fall, but I never thought that the Qin would remain stable under the king's rule."

"After destroying Chu, I thought that the Qin Dynasty would be destroyed at any moment. However, I never expected that the Qin Dynasty would not only survive, but there would not even be any large-scale unrest."

"To have expanded such a vast territory in just five years, Chang'an Jun's talent is unrivaled in the world."

"Your Majesty's talent in governing such a vast new territory in just five years makes me admire him even more."

"It was not until this battle that the Zhao was destroyed that the Qin Dynasty began to show signs of shaky ground."

"The king, however, let bygones be bygones and immediately asked me to return to the court to stabilize the situation, which shows how broad-minded the king is."

After saying this, Lu Buwei bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "I was once a minister, but I underestimated the king!"

"Because of my poor eyesight, my Great Qin almost missed a great opportunity."

"I know I was wrong!"

Ying Zheng's eyes were a little dazed.

Father Zhong, have you admitted your mistakes to me?

My dear, am I really not dreaming?!

Ying Zheng tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth, and nodded slightly with as calm an attitude as possible: "Since the Prime Minister has admitted his fault, I will let bygones be bygones."

Ying Zheng: (*^-^*)
Seeing Ying Zheng's straight mouth, his crescent eyes and slightly flushed cheeks, Lu Buwei couldn't help but smile a little more kindly, like coaxing a child, and continued, "Your Majesty, thank you for your forgiveness!"

"In the past five years, the territory of Great Qin has doubled and doubled again, but there has been no major chaos in Great Qin. It is clear that the king must have worked extremely hard."

"If my prediction is correct, during the past five years, Chang'an Jun has been engaged in many foreign wars, and Your Majesty must have been busy with documents all day, without a moment's rest."

Ying Zheng couldn't help but nod and said, "What the Prime Minister said is true."

The historical feat that originally took fifteen years to complete was compressed into five years.

How many more problems does this raise? !

Even someone as diligent as Ying Zheng would feel his scalp tingling when looking at the mountains of memorials every day!

Lu Buwei sighed distressedly: "My king, you have worked so hard!"

"The amount of government affairs that the king needs to handle every day is at least five times more than what he needed to handle when I was assisting him in governing the country!"

"I really cannot imagine how Your Majesty can handle so many government affairs and still make most of them without making any mistakes!"

Ying Zheng's smile was about to burst out, and he waved his hand casually: "I am very troubled by so many government affairs every day, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes and omissions."

"But now that Marquis Wenxin has returned to the court, he will surely be able to help me a lot!"

Lü Buwei smiled gently and said, "Your Majesty is too modest."

"So before the powerful people of Wei colluded to cause rebellion, the king had already laid an ambush and annihilated the possibility of rebellion with lightning speed at the very beginning!"

"It's just that the king was a little too hasty. When it came to framing the evidence..."

Outside the Longtai Hall, Ying Chengjiao sat on the stairs and waited for half an hour, then he saw candles lit inside the Longtai Hall.

The two silhouettes of an old and a young, a master and a disciple, a monarch and a minister were reflected on the window silk, making Ying Chengjiao feel as if he had returned to many years ago.

After a while, Ying Chengjiao smiled with relief: "Finally I can relax a little."

The eunuchs around him heard what Ying Chengjiao said, but they didn't know whether Ying Chengjiao was saying that he could relax a little or that Ying Zheng could relax a little.

He stood up and brushed off the dust on his butt, then Ying Chengjiao whispered, "Knock on the door at midnight (23:00), bring the soup in, and say it's my order."

"There is no end to government affairs. I remind the king and the prime minister to take good rest."

Meng Yi quickly raised his hand: "Wei!"

Taking one last look at the two people in the hall, Ying Chengjiao walked out cheerfully with his hands behind his back: "Let's get ready to go home!"

There's one more person to clean up the mess.

So cool!!!
-
After blessing the fertile land, Lu Buwei once again struck the entire world like a blockbuster bomb!

Lu Buwei had been away from politics for only five years.

Lu Buwei, whose every word was worth a thousand gold and who defeated five armies with a wave of his hand, is still remembered by the world.

As the news spread that Lu Buwei had officially returned to the court and assumed the post of Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, a storm was brewing both inside and outside the Qin Dynasty!

But Ying Chengjiao did not care about the turmoil in the outside world, and did not even participate in the banquet held after Ying Zheng returned to Xianyang City. He just urged the warhorse under his crotch to gallop towards home.

On the banks of the Weishui River.

Ying Chengjiao scattered a bag of insects into the banks of the Wei River, which instantly attracted a large number of river fish to compete for the food.

The scene, like water falling into a hot oil pan, was enough to show that the officials of Chang'an Township did not slack off during the time when Ying Chengjiao was away on the expedition.

The increasingly fat river fish even made Ying Chengjiao wonder if there were other people besides the officials of Chang'an Township who were giving them special treatment.

But this lively scene could hardly bring a smile to Ying Chengjiao's face.

The hexagram man knew why Ying Chengjiao ran all the way here but was unwilling to go any further.

The fortune teller also knew what Ying Chengjiao was thinking.

But the fortune teller still stepped forward and said in a gentle voice: "My Lord, it is dark and candles have been lit in the village."

Ying Chengjiao held the cloth bag tightly in his palm and asked in a complicated voice: "Are you all ready, brothers?"

The fortune teller nodded and said, "Everything is ready."

Ying Chengjiao turned around and looked towards the candlelight that was lit in the direction of Chang'an Township. He finally gave the order: "Pass the order."

"go home!"

Behind Ying Chengjiao, 215 family soldiers shouted in unison: "Go home!"
