Chapter 654 Questioning the King of Qin
In the majestic Xianyang Palace.
King Zhao Zheng of Qin knelt down behind the desk and quietly browsed the urgent letter from Fei Ge.
As he looked at it, the silk in his hand suddenly fell from the gap between his fingers, and the handsome face hidden behind the twelve crowns unconsciously revealed a complicated expression.
"Father Zhong...he actually committed suicide by drinking a dove!"
"Gu specially sent Meng Tian to deliver the message, hoping that Father Zhong could understand Gu's thoughts."
"I hope Father Zhong will restrain his attention and not meet with envoys from other countries again to prevent bad consequences in the future and force Rang Gu to kill ruthlessly."
He had this in mind.
Meng Tian was originally asked to carry the letter, which was at most a warning, and he never really wanted to kill Lu Buwei.
After all, Lu Buwei may be his biological father.
How could he execute him at will?
But now!
The man who made King Qin Zhao Zheng loved, respected, feared and angry, chose to commit suicide by drinking a dove after reading his letter.
Such an action undoubtedly put him on the fire.
"If this statement comes true, wouldn't it label Gu Gu as an ungrateful person?"
"Father Zhong, this is really a good trick!"
"It's just... why did Father Zhong do this? He simply wanted to give Gu Kou an image of an ungrateful, white-eyed wolf who would burn bridges when crossing rivers?"
King Qin Zhao Zheng forced himself to calm down and calm down the emotional fluctuations in his heart.
Recalling every detail of Lu Buwei's past in his mind, he always felt that the purpose of Lu Buwei's suicide was definitely not that simple.
There must be some secret information hidden in it that he was not aware of.
"Father Zhong, what exactly do you want to express?"
"Why do this?"
Qin Wangzheng closed his eyes and analyzed it carefully.
After a long time.
He vaguely guessed some of the real reasons hidden inside, and understood some of the secret information that Lu Buwei wanted to express.
"Father Zhong, do you want to use this to teach Gu Gu that as a king, you need to be ruthless when necessary so that you can sit more firmly?"
"Remembering old feelings too much makes you feel kind."
"At certain critical moments, it can become a fatal hazard and ruin major things."
Open your eyes again.
King Zhao Zheng of Qin's eyes stared quietly at the outside of Xianyang Palace through the crown on his head. He was silent and did not say a word.
He was somewhat grateful for Lu Buwei's self-commitment.
Resolve the fatal hidden dangers of the powerful master.
But at the same time, he also felt grief and sadness in his heart. His ability to have everything he has now depends to a large extent on Lu Buwei's strong support and suggestions.
He even taught him a lot of things.
It can be said that without Lu Buwei, there would be no existence of Qin King Zhao Zheng.
The complex and contradictory emotions always lingered in the heart of King Qin Zhao Zheng, making him a little distracted and staring blankly outside Xianyang Palace.
…
…
Unknowingly.
A few hours passed quietly.
King Qin Zhao Zheng finally recovered from his daze, and the conflicting emotions in his heart had regained calm.
"Someone is coming!"
The eunuchs who served in the chamber immediately came out.
He stood in the center of the hall, bowed to Zhao Zheng, the King of Qin, who was sitting on the throne of King Qin, and bowed his hands.
King Qin Zhao Zheng turned a blind eye and looked calm.
Give new orders aloud.
"My father, Lu Buwei, has passed away. He was buried with honors according to the etiquette of Marquis Wenxin."
"Every matter must be completed as soon as possible without any mistakes."
"Hi!"
The eunuch who served in the chamber bowed down in response and bowed his hands.
Then he slowly retreated, left Xianyang Palace, and went to deliver the oral instructions of Qin King Zhao Zheng.
…
…
Two days later.
After Meng Tian's almost sleepless and crazy riding on the road, and using the stations along the way to change horses, he finally quickly returned to Xianyang City.
Shi Yi entered Xianyang City.
He didn't even bother to repair himself, wash away the dust, rest, relieve fatigue, or even take a bite of food.
With a gloomy look on his face, he headed straight to Xianyang Palace.
Wait until you see King Qin Zhao Zheng inside the study.
Meng Tian suppressed the emotions in his heart and asked Qin Wangzheng coldly.
"I am here today and I have only one question."
"Why did the king force Master Lu to death?"
"Meng Ai Qing, my condolences!" Qin King Zhao Zheng turned his head slightly, stared at Meng Tian who looked very ugly, and explained with a hint of sadness: "I didn't really want to kill Father Zhong."
"If Gu really wanted to kill him, it would be impossible for him to let you deliver the letter."
"You regard Father Zhong as your mentor, and you still have a sworn relationship with me. It's extraordinary. With what kind of person I am, I believe you understand how I could do such a thing."
As soon as these words were spoken, the angry and gloomy expression on Meng Tian's face disappeared slightly, and turned into a thoughtful look.
Just like what Qin Wang Zhao Zheng said.
He has a very special relationship between King Qin and Lu Buwei.
As for the character of King Zhao Zheng of Qin, as a childhood playmate, he knew it very well and would never do anything ungrateful or burn down bridges.
Now calm down again and no longer be overwhelmed by anger and sadness.
Meng Tian also noticed something was wrong.
"Your Majesty, you mean...?!"
"My father Zhong resigned and returned to his hometown to take care of himself and live a comfortable life." King Zhao Zheng of Qin stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly to the window.
He looked out the window, his eyes calm and steady.
"But other countries in the Central Plains took advantage of this opportunity and often sent envoys to visit Father Zhong."
"With Father Zhong's reputation and talent, things will continue like this for a long time."
"If one day in the future, Father Zhong agrees to envoys from other countries and becomes his country's new guest, then by then, Father Zhong will definitely bring great harm to the entire Great Qin."
Meng Tian could understand what Qin King Zhao Zheng said.
That's the danger of knowing yourself and your enemy.
Because Lu Buwei knew the entire Qin State too well and understood that it would be effortless to destroy it.
What's more, Lu Buwei's personal reputation is too terrifying and dangerous.
That's a real response.
No matter which king faces such a person, he will feel restless, find it difficult to remain calm, and live in fear all day long.
"The reason why I wrote this letter is that I sent you as the messenger to deliver it to Father Zhong personally."
"I just hope that Father Zhong can understand Gu's difficulties and stop paying attention."
"Don't bring danger or disaster to Great Qin."
"Who would have thought...!" When he said this, Qin King Zhao Zheng raised his head slightly and looked out the window, his tone was sad but complicated: "Who would have thought that Father Zhong would be so decisive."
"Just commit suicide by drinking a dove, and personally eliminate the anxiety and worry in Gu Gu's heart, and eliminate future troubles forever."
After hearing this, Meng Tian almost understood a lot in his heart.
