Cheng Qiao was a little surprised by Lu Buwei's reaction.
Although he had long guessed that Lu Buwei's political wisdom and the government's scheming would prevent him from reacting too violently, but such calmness and calmness still surprised him. After all, knowing and doing are completely different things.
How can ordinary people react so calmly and calmly after suffering such a big loss? Perhaps most of them can't even imagine the consequences of falling out, and they can't think clearly...
Although he was surprised, Cheng Qiao was not a vegetarian, and his face did not show any signs of it, and he still had a faint smile on his face.
"This matter has not been exposed directly. I think the Prime Minister has guessed that I don't mean to cause trouble. This is sincerity."
"The Prime Minister suddenly changed from a big businessman to the Prime Minister of the Qin State, Marquis Wenxin. His psychology was greatly inflated. His identity and status did not completely change. It is understandable that he occasionally lacked sense of proportion."
"I don't want much, and the net is not suitable for the Prime Minister to be in charge of."
"That's all."
Cheng Qiao smiled and stated his conditions. After speaking, he picked up the wine bottle and tasted the jade liquor leisurely.
"It turns out that the young master wants to snare you. Yes, I will submit my resignation to the king tomorrow."
Lu Buwei agreed without any hesitation. Compared with his future political life and leaving a name in history, a snare is nothing. He failed this time, but it doesn't matter. The one who laughs in the end is the winner. Let's see. …
"Thank you so much, Prime Minister, for your success. Here's a toast to Prime Minister."
Although he suffered a loss, Lu Buwei was not someone who could not afford to lose. He picked up the wine bottle and had a drink with Cheng Qiao very gracefully.
What he lost was very little compared to what he had done. He didn't resent Cheng Qiao, he just blamed himself for underestimating Cheng Qiao and making a bad move. He even felt a touch of gratitude in his heart. If things got bigger, , he definitely has no good fruit to eat.
He didn't understand why Cheng Qiao raised his hand. If he had this handle, he would definitely make things worse and he would show no mercy!
Is this the kindness of a woman?
It doesn't look like it. Is there any conspiracy?
It's possible that the Second Young Master's scheming is much deeper than he imagined!
"Sir, can you tell me how you did it?"
Lu Buwei put down the wine bottle and pointed to the bamboo slips on the table.
Cheng Qiao smiled and said nothing.
Of course he can't reveal his trump card just to show off. Wouldn't that be stupid?
Let Lu Buwei guess slowly by himself. It is good for him to maintain a sense of mystery.
"This seems to be an inconvenient question. Can you tell me why you let me go?"
Well, this question can be answered.
"First of all, this young master is safe and unscathed, so there is room for change."
"Second, my brother doesn't know about this."
"Third, the Prime Minister is a great talent, and I don't want the Qin State to lose such a great talent as the Prime Minister."
Lu Buwei is indeed a great talent. Even though he did some fucked up things, before Ying Zheng took charge, the Qin State won more wars against the Six Nations under his leadership. He opened up territory for the Qin State and divided the Six Nations. He also did a good job of coaxing and suppressing him, and overall he was a very outstanding prime minister.
"Fourth, this incident alone cannot completely bring down the Prime Minister."
"Fifth, after all, the Prime Minister is kind to his father and brother. I don't want to see the gap between the Prime Minister and my father and brother."
"Sixth, I don't want to have too deep animosity with the Prime Minister. You schemed against me once, and I schemed against you once. It's even."
"What do you think the prime minister wants?"
At the end, Cheng Qiao looked at Lu Buwei with a half-smile.
"Hahaha……"
Lu Buwei laughed heartily, and the laughter echoed in the palace for a long time, until his face turned red from laughing, he stopped laughing and spoke again.
"The young master has impressed me again and again today, making me want to change my mind and support the young master."
"Okay, let's just follow what the young master said and it's even."
"I'd like to offer you a drink, sir."
Cheng Qiao accepted Lu Buwei's toast safely. He deserved the toast. He was indeed showing his dignity and letting Lu Buwei go.
The two drank it all in one gulp, and Lu Buwei put down the bottle and stood up.
"Is the Prime Minister leaving?"
"Everything has been said, is it possible to spend the night here if we don't leave?"
"Haha, the matter is not over yet, more important things are still to come. As the saying goes, be polite first and then attack with force. My master is going to be polite with soldiers first."
Cheng Qiao simply stopped kneeling and sat casually on the cushion, saying something meaningful.
"oh?"
"Young Master, you think you have something good to tell me?"
"Yes, it is a good thing, but the time has not come yet. Prime Minister, please be patient and don't be impatient."
"Someone is coming!"
Cheng Qiao turned to look outside the palace and shouted. Soon, Xiu Niang opened the palace door, followed by six strong servants and stepped into the palace.
Two eunuchs carried a set of tables and placed them in the center of the hall. Xiu Niang and the other four eunuchs each carried a dark red food box in both hands and quickly arranged it.
Lu Buwei glanced at the busy servants, turned to look at Cheng Qiao, and said in a deep voice: "Master, do you have any guests?"
"Yes, if you calculate the time, it should be here soon."
Lu Buwei thought about who the guests were, but he had no intention of leaving and sat down on his knees again.
Xiu Niang and the six chambermaids were all very agile and quickly arranged the seats. They bowed respectfully to the two of them, took a few steps back, quickly turned around and left, but this time they did not close the palace door.
Less than half a quarter of an hour later, a hearty yet slightly childish voice came from outside the hall.
"Little brother, what are you planning to do by inviting me to dinner for no reason?"
Ying Zheng, who was twelve years old at the time, quickly stepped into the hall wearing a golden silk robe. He immediately saw Cheng Qiao sitting casually and Lu Buwei sitting upright. He immediately stopped and smiled stagnantly, but it was very short. His smile soon returned and he bowed to Lu Buwei.
"Unknown teacher is here, I'm sorry."
Ying Zheng had more than one teacher, but Lu Buwei was the most important one among them.
Although Ying Zheng was Lu Buwei's student, Ying Zheng's identity was there, and Lu Buwei was not Zhong's father, so he could not accept the gift calmly, so he stood up and returned the gift.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
Lu Buwei is currently thinking about Cheng Qiao's intention of calling him and Ying Zheng together. How can he care about it? Besides, in this era of broken etiquette and music, this matter is nothing.
"Brother, how do you look like you are sitting like this? Sit upright."
Ying Zheng looked at Cheng Qiao, winked quietly, and scolded softly.
"Brother, Lu Xiangguo and I had a great time drinking today without being polite. If you don't believe me, just ask Lu Xiangguo."
When Ying Zheng heard this, he looked at Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei could not say he was unhappy, but he could only nodded lightly.
Since Lu Buwei didn't mind, Ying Zheng couldn't say anything. His younger brother usually did a lot of inappropriate things, and he was used to it.
However, what was his younger brother talking about with Lu Buwei before? The two of them had no friendship, and they invited him over. What was their plan?
"Brother, please take your seat quickly."
"The teachers all sit at the side, how dare I sit at the front?"
With the status of Lu Buwei and Cheng Qiao, the only ones who can sit in the first place are his father, the queen, and his grandmother.
"Brother, why are you acting so coquettishly, like a girl, and not happy at all? With Lu Xiangguo's mind, how can he mind such a trivial matter?"
Lu Buwei glanced at Cheng Qiao, "You have said all the good things, what else can I say?"
"Sit down, no need to be formal."
Having reached this point, Ying Zheng did not refuse any more. He walked to the front seat and sat down on his knees upright.
