The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain - 562. Lu Buwei

Li Mu has always been clean and upright, has a good reputation in the Zhao court, and does not get involved in the battles between various forces. Therefore, everyone in Wujiabao had the same view as Wu Shiluo before. The reason why Wujiabao fell to this end was inseparable from Juluhou Zhao Mu. The person Wu Tingfang was most familiar with was Bai Gui, so when she saw Bai Gui, she immediately scolded him.

It is beneath your dignity to argue with a woman. Bai Gui glanced at Wu Tingfang and said nothing. Just a beautiful and brainless woman. He signaled to the diners around him, and someone took action on his behalf.

After a while, half of Wu Tingfang’s face became swollen.

“The leader of the Wu clan has no right command and a bad family tradition. No wonder he suffered like this.” Bai Gui clamped his horse’s belly and walked to the vicinity of Wushiluo, who was being guarded by the soldiers. He looked down and said, “It is your Majesty’s duty to eradicate Wujiapu.” Although there are some contradictions between the Wu Clan Chief and my father, the king is wise and powerful, how can he listen to one side’s words? Now that the Wu Clan Chief and his family have been captured, he insists that it is my Julu Marquis Mansion who instigated the king. Could it be… that he thinks… Is your Majesty in a state of confusion?”

Bai Gui has long been accustomed to being accused of minor crimes.

Even though many ministers in the Zhao court thought that Zhao Wangdan was not wise, they could not say such things. Wu Tingfang and everyone in the Wu family said this, which gave him an excuse to use the topic.

Even if the assassination was proven false in the future, this accusation alone would be enough for everyone in the Wu family to drink.

What’s more, the Wu Mansion is not aboveboard in the first place, so there is no need to frame him with trumped-up charges.

“You…” Wu Shiluo’s expression suddenly changed.

During the Warring States Period, the official culture was not yet prosperous. Even though there was a “literary prison”, it could not be as skillful as Bai Gui. The main thing is that when Bai Gui said this, he even thought it made sense. With such talk, not to mention that compared to Su Qin and Zhang Yi, even if they go to any country, they can prosper.

He suddenly felt a little regretful. If he had known that “Zhao Li” was so powerful, why would he have to be a mortal enemy of Julu Hou Zhao Mu. Yun Wen Yun Wu, such a talented person, is destined to be unable to defeat Zhao Mu, the Julu Hou.

Seeing this, Li Mu didn’t think it was shameful for Bai Gui to talk. A few years ago, Zhao Xiangru and Lin Xiangru also relied on their words to become the heroes of Zhao.

“Chief Wu, I’m sorry.”

Li Mu came over, bowed his hand to Wushi Luo, and then waved his hand without waiting for Wushi Luo to speak, asking Zhao Jun to escort the Wushi family to Gandan City to accept the punishment of Zhao Wangdan.

Zhao Jun began to move away, leaving Wujiabao full of devastation.

This attack on Wujiapu not only captured the entire Wu family alive, but also captured the Wushi Luo merchants’ accumulation of decades of experience, war horses, armor, gold and silver, etc. These things alone are enough to cover half a year’s tax from Zhao State.

“Pity……”

Halfway through, Li Mu started chatting with Bai Gui, and the two soon talked about the situation of the Wu family, “In the past few years, the Wu family was still a loyal minister of our Zhao country, but since the defeat of Changping After that, the national power of Zhao could no longer compare with Qin, so gradually some Zhao ministers secretly defected to Qin, and Wu Shiluo was one of them…”

There was something he didn’t say. Today’s Zhao State is declining, and Qin State’s national power, anyone can see that Qin State will dominate the world sooner or later. The reason why today’s Qin State did not destroy South Korea and the Three Jin Dynasties is that the Qin State’s domestic political turmoil was turbulent. In just three or four years, the King of Qin changed twice, so he had no time to send troops to the six countries, giving the six countries a chance to survive. , Secondly, Qin was afraid that destroying a country would cause turmoil in the world, so it kept looking for a suitable opportunity…

Today, the Qin State already has more than half of the world.

Wu Shiluo turned from a loyal minister of the country to a treacherous minister, and Li Mu felt unhappy.

The exchange is shallow and deep. When Bai Gui saw Li Mu making this call, the idea came to his mind subconsciously. However, Li Mu was a well-known lonely minister in Zhao State, and he didn’t mind whether Li Mu’s words were a test. He smiled and said: “General Li is overly worried. Qin has already produced several wise kings. Since ancient times, when the moon is full, it will be weak, and when the water is full, it will overflow. As long as the next Qin king is stupid, the six countries will have the opportunity to counterattack…”

The Qin State had six successive generations of emperors, until the First Emperor, who unified the world. This is the end of history. But in the eyes of celebrities from all over the world, the next monarch of Qin may not be able to remain wise…

What Bai Gui said is also the mainstream view of the Six Nations.

As for the deeper matter, he would not speak easily and reveal the news.

Li Mu nodded and said “I hope so.”

Soon, the two returned to the court.

But as soon as he reached the palace hall, he heard someone in the palace talking about the assassination of Zhao Wangdan.

“The king was assassinated?”

“The king was assassinated again?”

Li Mu and Bai Gui looked at each other and hurriedly entered the palace.

When they entered the palace, the throne was heavily curtained, and people kept coming in and out. Through the curtain, Zhao Wangdan could be vaguely seen, but his face was pale and a little uncomfortable.

“Did you two capture the Wushi Ruohe clan?”

Zhao Wangdan coughed and asked.

There was a slight frailty to his voice.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The two stepped forward and replied.

“The Wushi Luo was so daring that he took advantage of the king’s division of troops and assassinated the king. The humble ministers boldly asked for orders to have the entire Wushi Luo clan executed. Their heads were announced at the city gate for a month as a warning to others.”

Among the two rows of ministers, one man came out and made a speech.

“I second the proposal.”

Another group of ministers bowed in agreement.

Seeing this, Bai Gui nodded. Sure enough, everything was under his control.

Wushi Luo was assassinated for the second time. King Zhao was not sure whether it was Wushi Luo who assassinated him, and the ministers were not sure either. But a good scapegoat like Wushi Luo has been found. Whether it is King Zhao or the ministers, they will hope that Wushi Luo will bear this crime.

Wushi Luo is not alone in making good friends with the people of Qin. In the Zhao court, half of the Zhao ministers had more or less private connections with Qin. They were also afraid that King Zhao would take advantage of the situation and find trouble on their heads. Therefore, they will try their best to narrow this wave of turmoil to a certain range.

If it’s not done by Wu Shiluo, it must be done by Wu Shiluo…

As for whether Wu Fu was wronged for this matter?

In the dispute between Qin and Zhao, if these fence-sitting factions dare to place bets on either side, they must be prepared to be killed. When Wu Shiluo was selling horses for the Qin State, he had already sentenced Zhao Wangdan to death. All the following were preparations for the eradication of Wujiapu, and Wu Shiluo had already expected this outcome, but What Wu Shiluo didn’t expect was that King Zhao would strike so quickly and ruthlessly.

“The people from Wu Mansion need to be discussed.”

King Zhao stood up and waved his hand weakly, “The second assassination has not yet been found out. Whether it was done by Wushi Luo or it is still unknown. It will not be too late to make a judgment after the truth comes out.”

As long as Wu Shiluo is alive, he will be a knife hanging over the heads of the ministers of Zhao State. All he had to do was ask Wu Shiluo to identify which of his ministers he wanted to execute. He was not willing to leave such a useful chess piece idle so early. In addition, Wushiluo’s wealth is not only that of Wujiabao, but can be looted again.

Therefore…, it would be better for Wu Shiluo not to die than to die.

“The king is wise.”

The ministers who stood up retreated with unwilling expressions.

In the past, King Zhao could not deal with them by means. But with the addition of Wushiluo, they would have to be on tenterhooks day and night. Because this was an assassination of the king, it was equivalent to Zhao Wangdan having great justice in his hands. Even if it was widely implicated, the Chinese people thought it was common sense.

“I…” Zhao Wangdan coughed a few more times. When he returned to the palace, the chariot bumped a few times. At first, the injury was not serious, but after the bumps, the bleeding became a bit heavy, and his body became a little unable to bear it. His old and obvious injuries recurred at the same time, and he murmured: “I have returned to the palace to recuperate for a few days. I will leave the government affairs to my consort for the time being. Julu Hou, you must also obey the orders of my consort…”

He was still in his prime, so it was impossible for him to hand over power to the prince. The Sand Dune Rebellion in the past was still fresh in my mind. Gongzi Cheng killed the rebellious Gongzi Zhang. He was afraid that King Zhao Wuling would settle the score with him, so he sent troops to surround the palace and starve King Zhao Wuling to death. Zhao Wangdan believed that he was no match for his father (King Zhao Wuling), so he never dared to let the prince take charge of the court…

Among the royal family, only “Zhao Li” has a reputation, but his foundation is not stable, and he is vaguely at odds with his father, Julu Hou. It is a good choice to temporarily take charge of the court. The domineering nature of Zhao Mu, who is used to protect his father by his son, will definitely become dissatisfied over time, and the separation of father and son will not be far away.

Of course, he was only away from the government for a few days to recuperate, so he wouldn’t cause any major chaos. Letting “Zhao Li” take charge of the government now will only pave the way for him to serve as the prime minister in the future.

“My son, I would like to thank my father.”

Bai Gui stepped forward to receive the order.

He has no soldiers and horses, and he has no reputation in the army. The same goes for Juluhou Zhao Mu. Zhao Mu, the Marquis of Julu, was just a lucky minister. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand Zhao Wangdan’s behavior. If Zhao Wangdan had not made such a decision, he could also ask Zhao Qian to return to the palace to persuade King Zhao to delegate power. If that doesn’t work, there are other strategies. In fact, all kinds of strategies are useless, and there is also magic to support it.

…

Qin State, Xianyang.

Although the team escorting Zhao Zheng back to China had been surrounded by assassins several times, fortunately, Xiang Shaolong heroically killed the enemy and finally allowed Zhao Zheng to return to his homeland without any danger.

“Thanks to Mr. Bai for warning me in advance…”

Xiang Shaolong was sitting in the carriage, holding a bronze mirror, and said with gratitude: “If it weren’t for you, Mr. Bai, no matter how powerful my fists and feet are, I still can’t beat four hands. It only hinders Mr. Bai from using your magic power. The injury got worse.”

Outsiders thought that his swordsmanship was superb, but he understood that if the man in the mirror had not secretly helped him, he would have been almost killed several times with a direct sword, or his life would have been taken with a secret arrow.

“These are just little things.”

The man in the mirror coughed lightly, his face looked a little pale, and he said: “As long as you cultivate to the realm of golden elixir and go to Penglai Immortal Island, you may be able to find the reason why I succumbed here. I will help you, too. I have selfish motives for my own enlightenment, so you don’t have to be too grateful.”

After going through all kinds of things along the way, he also opened up his heart and told Xiang Shaolong some of his secrets, such as the fact that his magic power was greatly reduced and he suffered internal injuries.

“Mr. Bai…”

Xiang Shaolong was moved when he heard this.

At first, he had some doubts about the man in the mirror, but after hearing these words, any doubts soon disappeared. After all, the person in the mirror said that helping him was also for his own gain. Also, who would be willing to teach Taoism to others easily if it were not for their own private affairs.

“Stop talking, we are almost at the palace.”

“There is someone in the palace who has good luck, which is harmful to my immortal family. I will become invisible first.”

The man in the mirror interrupted Xiang Shaolong’s words, and with a flash of movement, the figure on the bronze mirror disappeared immediately. This bronze mirror returned to calmness, not much different from an ordinary mirror.

The carriage stopped outside the royal palace.

Xiang Shaolong stepped out of the carriage.

“Xiangbang, this is Xiang Shaolong, a retainer of the Wu family, who escorted the prince all the way back to Xianyang.” The Qin envoy also got off the carriage, and he walked to an imposing man with gray hair and said.

Xiangbang? Lu Buwei?

Xiang Shaolong’s expression became solemn, and he immediately stepped forward to greet him, “Xiang Shaolong has met Xiangbang.”

Lu Buwei’s name is famous in other countries, and it will be the same in later generations. He didn’t dare to underestimate it at all.

“You have done a good job in escorting the prince. After the king and the prince recognize each other, you…will be rewarded heavily.”

Lu Buwei glanced at Xiang Shaolong lightly and said casually.

Xiang Shaolong originally thought that he would be taken seriously when he came to Qin, but he didn’t expect that he would be despised after meeting Lu Buwei. Although Lu Buwei never expressed it in his words, his contempt for him was obvious.

“Lu Buwei is good at sneaking into the camp. In his eyes, you are just a brave man. It is understandable that he looks down on you. However, you have to be careful. He just glanced at Zhao Ji and then at you. With his shrewdness, I must have seen the private affairs between Zhao Ji and you…”

Suddenly, Xiang Shaolong heard the voice of the person in the mirror.

A sudden chill ran down his back, and he looked towards Sakon. Zhao Ji looked at Lu Buwei with affection, but Lu Buwei took a few steps back and glanced at him coldly.

Even though Lu Buwei didn’t find out about his private affair with Zhao Ji now, the convoy returning to Qin was crowded with people. Even if he and Zhao Ji were careful, it would not be difficult for someone to get some information.

“Qin Yiren is seriously ill and Zhao Zheng ascends the throne. It is foreseeable that Zhao Ji will become the queen mother in the future and will inevitably have power. You and Zhao Ji have private affairs, which means that you will become Lu Buwei’s political enemy in the future…”

The man in the mirror analyzed.

Xiang Shaolong felt cold all over when he heard this whip-piercing analysis.

“Mr. Bai, don’t worry…”

He gritted his teeth, feeling that the way he looked just now was a bit embarrassing, and said quickly: “I am a time traveler. I have known about him Lu Buwei for a long time. And with the analysis of Mr. Bai, a historian, I can defeat Lu Buwei in the Qin Kingdom.” It’s not difficult, I have the confidence.”

As a time traveler, he has always maintained a sense of superiority towards the natives of the Warring States Period.

What’s more, the man in the mirror is a famous historian…

He doesn’t have to be afraid of Lu Buwei.

“You are right. There is no need to be afraid of Lu Buwei. As long as you have the support of Zhao Ji and Zhao Zheng, Lu Buwei is afraid of these two people and will not attack you. You just need to wait for the opportunity.”

The person in the mirror smiled, as if appreciating Xiang Shaolong’s decisiveness.
