Cheng Qiao's secret tricks on Lu Buwei will not happen immediately, but will be subtle and require a lead. And the so-called lead is something that both men and women love to do. It only takes a few times to become useless.
At Lu Buwei's age, he also had a lot of beautiful concubines in his family. Some of them were taken in by him, and some were gifts from other dignitaries. They were all very beautiful.
As for Lu Buwei's first wife, she has passed away long ago, and no concubine has been rehabilitated in these years.
The first wife left two boys and one girl to Lu Buwei. Plus some children born to common people, Lu Buwei had no shortage of children.
Not long after Lu Buwei's children were born, Lu Buwei rose to prominence. Because his wife died and he felt guilty, he inevitably doted on his children. In addition, he was busy with government affairs and had no time to train them.
Lu Buwei's two sons were useless and became dandy disciples. The daughter was better than the son, but she was born a daughter after all, and her reputation was not known to the public.
In the days before Lu Buwei is scrapped, necessary precautions must be taken.
In addition to telling Zhao Gao to be careful, Cheng Qiao also kept an eye on Lu Buwei's whereabouts. Whenever Lu Buwei entered the palace, he would follow him and find excuses to visit Lanzhi Palace.
As a result, Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji didn't have much time to be alone. However, every time Cheng Qiao went to Lanzhi Palace, he would bring various gifts to express his filial piety, so Zhao Ji had no excuse to have an attack.
The concubine is so filial, but his nose is not a nose, and his eyes are not eyes. What do you think of the concubine, his biological son, and Mrs. Han, who usually has a good relationship with her?
The most important thing is what do the mothers-in-law above you think?
Although Zhao Ji listens to politics behind the curtain, and although the Queen Mother Huayang and the Queen Mother Xia have no right to interfere in political affairs, they still have no problem disciplining Zhao Ji in the harem.
For Zhao Ji, a legitimate mother and a biological mother are extremely difficult to mess with, at least they cannot openly contradict them.
Moreover, Zhao Ji also knew that her thoughts were wrong and she felt guilty, which made it even more difficult to get angry. She still dealt with Cheng Qiao with a normal attitude, for fear that Cheng Qiao would notice something was wrong.
…
Half a month passed by in a flash. In the study room in the inner courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Buwei was sitting in front of a large table with a frown on his face. He did not look dignified in front of the courtiers.
The reason for this is, firstly, for his own body, and secondly, because of Zhao Ji's pressing pressure. However, whether it is his own body or Zhao Ji's affairs, it is not easy to ask outsiders for advice, but this makes Lu Buwei very depressed.
Already.
After sitting for a while, Lu Buwei felt irritable. He frowned and stood up, walking around the study, as if this could relieve the irritability and depression in his heart...
Normally, it wouldn't be a big deal if his power was low. He is already older and has enjoyed all kinds of beauties more over the years. It would not be a big deal if he didn't touch beauties.
The key point is that the Queen Mother has been pressing harder and harder recently. If she does not satisfy the other party and the other party gets angry, she may no longer be so handy in government affairs and her power will be reduced accordingly.
Although it has been reduced, he is still the prime minister and the power in his hands is still great, but it is impossible to go back to the days when everything was decided by one word.
Power is addictive and is much stronger than other desires such as money and beauty.
Especially for those who have enjoyed it, the feeling of being high in the mountains and having one word decide the fate of countless people is really hard to let go of.
In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, many officials suffered from various illnesses once they lost power, and their life span was greatly shortened. They would die soon. However, when they were in office, they had nothing to do and were as energetic as a young man.
Zhao Ji is extremely beautiful, but Lu Buwei is not someone who has never seen the world. Not to mention that after he became the prime minister of the Qin State, he was still a big businessman, and there were never fewer beauties around him.
For Lu Buwei, beauty is secondary. Although the change of identity is fresh and exciting, the most important thing is the power that the rekindling of old love brings to him by satisfying Zhao Ji.
This is the most important.
Either lose the support of Zhao Ji and lose the power of Yiyan Jiuding, or get the support of Zhao Ji and continue to have the power of Yiyan Jiuding.
Beyond that, there is no third option.
Lu Buwei weighed it for a long time, and finally found that he still couldn't give up his power, so he decided to find the secrets of famous doctors to treat him.
Nice romance
If it can be cured, then it is recommended that Zhao Ji live in Ganquan Palace on the south side of the Weihe River. There are fewer people there and it is more convenient. The Lama Temple is too dangerous.
If it can't be cured and there is no willpower, then it is God's will, and we can only enjoy the power of Xiangbang in peace and contentment.
Having made up his mind, Lu Buwei immediately called his confidant butler to give some instructions.
The Prime Minister's Mansion showed its power, and the efficiency was quite high. One day passed, all the famous doctors in Xianyang City and nearby cities were secretly gathered in a house in the south of Xianyang City.
In the evening, Lu Buwei returned home, had dinner, changed his clothes, got into an ordinary carriage, secretly left the Prime Minister's Mansion, and came to the south of the city where famous doctors were housed.
One by one, famous doctors came to see Lu Buwei. Because Lu Buwei wore a mask, most of the word "wang" in Chinese medicine's "look, hear, ask, and ask" was lost.
This trick was something Cheng Qiao didn't expect. He didn't expect Lu Buwei to think of this method to treat the disease. Fortunately, Cheng Qiao had made extra preparations, otherwise the famous doctors like Guangqiao Kidney Deficiency would definitely be able to cure it.
Just as Cheng Qiao expected, no famous doctor would check Lu Buwei's privacy, and Lu Buwei would not allow famous doctors to check. The real root cause of the disease could not be discovered at all.
Therefore, the famous doctors all came to the same conclusion: Lu Buwei suffered from kidney deficiency and could just replenish the kidneys, but the prescriptions they prescribed were slightly different.
Hearing that he only had kidney deficiency, Lu Buwei was very happy. This was not a serious problem and he just needed good care. He was so happy that he rewarded the famous doctors heavily.
After returning home, Lu Buwei immediately asked his confidant butler to personally arrange for someone to prepare the medicine. All the medicinal materials were the best.
I drank a dose that night. I don’t know if it was a psychological effect or if it was really effective. Lu Buwei felt a fever in his lower abdomen and felt a little better.
It's a pity that it's all an illusion. After drinking kidney-tonifying medicine for half a month, I should feel soft again.
This made Lu Buwei so angry that he cursed quack doctors. After calming down, he realized that he was really old, so he stopped forcing himself, found an opportunity to meet Zhao Ji, and told Zhao Ji the truth.
Zhao Ji was very disappointed in her heart. She is not a woman who likes pure love. She wants to eat meat. What's the use of Lu Buwei like this even if his old love rekindles?
Zhao Ji, who was very disappointed, couldn't help the anger in her heart and taunted Lu Buwei a few words. Lu Buwei's face turned red with anger, he snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left.
From then on, because of her disappointment and dissatisfaction with Lu Buwei, Zhao Ji no longer followed Lu Buwei's advice on government affairs and often found fault with him.
Even though Lu Buwei's handling opinions were pertinent, Zhao Ji was just a little woman, but no matter how many things there were, national affairs were not more important in her heart than the love between her children, which made Lu Buwei angry and helpless.
For general government affairs, the Prime Minister's Office can decide on its own, but for major matters, Zhao Ji, who acts as the king, and Lu Buwei, who holds the power of the Prime Minister, need to reach an agreement. If they cannot reach an agreement, nothing can be done.
This feeling of being stuck made Lu Buwei secretly anxious.
Lu Buwei's current pursuit, in addition to power, is to leave a name in history. This is true in "Lu's Spring and Autumn", and it is also true in leading the Qin Kingdom to glory. Even power is ranked second to leaving a name in history.
Just when Lu Buwei was secretly worried, the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion handed over a list of people who wanted to become the guests of the Prime Minister's Mansion. In addition to stating their origins, the most important thing on the list was to state what they were good at.
Now Lu Buwei has nearly 3,000 disciples. Among them there is a mixture of dragons and snakes, some are real talents, and some are thieves. There are huge polarizations, but there are only people who don't know anything and don't have any skills.
Lao Du's name is on the list, and her expertise is martial arts and the secrets of the house.
In fact, Lao Du does not know the secret skills in the room, it is purely a gift.
Seeing what Lao Du was good at, Lu Buwei suddenly became interested...
