Businessmen pursue profit, and their greed never ends.
Lu Buwei is one of the best. When he was in Weiguo in the past, he was one of the most famous businessmen in Weiguo.
But he was not satisfied,
So he had some rare things to live in, and he spent all his wealth to help Qin Yiren return to Qin, and helped him become the prince, and even the current king of Qin.
In return, Lu Buwei, who was a merchant, became the powerful Prime Minister of the Qin State and the Marquis of Wenxin, with a settlement of 30,000 households.
But is he satisfied?
No, he was even more greedy.
He hoped that Qin's chariot would move forward according to his wishes.
Qin Yiren was not favored in his early years and was sent to Zhao State as a hostage very early.
Even though he is now the King of Qin, it has to be said that King Qin Yi is not a courageous hero.
Therefore, Lu Buwei has always taken the initiative in cooperating with Qin Wangyi.
certainly.
In Zhang Heng's opinion, this kind of initiative is the way to death.
Even the Qin State under the true boundary is not the Qin State under the historical trajectory.
But Qin Yiren will eventually grow up, and Ying Zheng is getting older day by day.
Zhang Heng predicted that there was a 90% chance that Lu Buwei would still be forced to commit suicide just like in history.
Because he could hardly tell the difference anymore.
In the huge city of Xianyang, who is the master and who is the guest?
"Lu's Spring and Autumn Period."
"What a great name."
"Most of the classics of various schools of thought were compiled into books by their disciples after their death."
"Lu Buwei, you started writing Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals while you were still alive. What do you want to do? My heart is the people's heart and my words are the holy words. Do you want to be a contemporary sage?"
Zhang Heng whispered: "The path of the sage is the path to death!"
Lu Buwei was a Confucianist and a Mohist, collectively known as Fa, and was a master-level figure in the miscellaneous family.
He has five inheritances: Confucianism, Mohism, famous schools, Legalism, and Zajia.
If Zhang Heng guessed correctly, Lu Buwei might have followed the path of establishing a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a destiny for the people, inheriting the unique knowledge of the saints, and creating peace for all generations.
If, under his leadership, the Qin State can wipe out the Liuhe, unify the eight wastelands, and create peace, he will be able to achieve success and achieve the status of a sage.
Lishi is also a class of scholars, above the country and laws, not a heavenly being, but an existence better than a heavenly being.
But think about Ying Zheng, Bai Hao, Zhao Yi, Han Li, Yuan Wen, Hua Rou, this bunch of proud men.
Taking the path of sages in a world of great strife is undoubtedly a dead end.
Who among these people would allow others to take precedence over themselves?
If others don't say anything, Ying Zheng, who is eyeing He Xiongzai, will not allow him to succeed.
Although Zhang Heng has never met Ying Zheng, he has watched the air movement above the Prince's Mansion.
Ying Zheng, he should cultivate hegemony.
This Tao is achieved, and the world is in hand, and no one will be allowed to be equal to it.
How can you, Lu Buwei, live in Luoyang, a city with 100,000 households?
You, Lu Buwei, are so virtuous that you can be called the father of a widower.
Historically, Lu Buwei died because of these two sentences.
"My boss..."
It's half a month again.
Since Zhang Heng took over the enshrined position of the Qin State, he has received much less disturbance.
Just when he felt that he could continue to sit back and watch the changes, just like watching chess in a pavilion, Zhao Gao came to him.
"Is something wrong?"
Zhang Heng's tone was calm.
"Is such that."
Zhao Gao lowered his head: "I have been in the store for a few months, but I feel that I can't like these rare treasures. This line of work may not be suitable for me."
Zhang Heng looked at Zhao Gao: "What do you think is suitable for you?"
Zhao Gao whispered: "I want to be like Prime Minister Lu and Prime Minister Zhao, who can coordinate the rise and fall of a country."
Zhang Heng shook his head: "Before Lu Buwei became an official, he was a big businessman in Weiguo. He had more than a hundred beauties and thousands of servants at home. He also had a good level of cultivation, so he was able to live in a rare place. How could he have such a platform and opportunity now?
you?"
Zhao Gao refused to give up: "My boss, where is Prime Minister Zhao?"
"Zhao Xuanji?"
Zhang Heng thought for a while: "Zhao Xuanji was born in a clan, and he was wise when he was young, just like today's Bai Yi, Wang Jian, and the three brothers of the Meng family. When he entered the officialdom, he started to follow the king and struggled as an ordinary person.
It takes less than twenty or thirty years to get to this point, how can you compare?"
Zhao Gao was a little lost: "It's incomparable."
"Actually, it's not impossible."
Zhang Heng looked at him and said in a deep voice: "The prince's residence is currently recruiting chamberlains. As expected, the future monarch of the Qin Kingdom will definitely be Ying Zheng. If you accompany him as a chamberlain, when Ying Zheng ascends the throne, you will be with us."
As a king and a courtier, you will naturally become a hot new person.
Moreover, you are a chamberlain, someone who accompanies you, and there is no conflict with people from martial arts families like Bai Yi. It is relatively easy to rise, but I don’t know if you are willing to give in."
Zhao Gao opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't make up his mind.
Because his father was Hou Wu's childhood friend, he knew very well that chamberlains like Hou Wu needed to purify themselves before entering the palace.
He craves power and can rise or fall a country with just one word.
But he was not prepared to be stabbed.
"Let's think about it when we go back."
Zhang Heng signaled to Zhao Gao that he could leave.
A few more days followed.
Zhao Gao didn't want to drink tea or eat, and he lost weight.
Just when he was hesitating, he saw two immortal monks accompanying a clan member to buy rare treasures.
Listening to the flattering words of the two people, and looking at the fat head and big ears, Zhao Gao finally decided: "My talent is average. According to the eldest lady, I will continue to cultivate step by step.
I'm afraid that nothing will be accomplished. If you want to succeed, you have to find another way. This way..."
Zhao Gao gritted his teeth and said: "My path is in the palace. Compared with that knife, I am more afraid of doing nothing."
that day.
Zhao Gao handed in his waist card, asked for leave, received his monthly payment and went home.
What he was going to do was not explained to anyone.
It wasn't until half a month later that he returned to Hengguzhai with some spiritual fruits and spiritual wine, as if recovering from a serious illness.
Zhao Gao knelt down to Hou Wu on the spot: "I want to stand out so much. The Prince's Mansion is recruiting people right now. If I'm cruel, I'll cut myself off."
"ah!"
Hou Wu's expression changed drastically, but he didn't know what to say.
Zhao Gao did not regret it, but instead comforted Hou Wu: "Uncle, you are my father's childhood friend, my uncle. This is what my nephew thinks. There is no one in the palace, and it won't last long just relying on you to deal with the outside world."
As a plan, when I enter the East Palace, our Hengguzhai will have our own people in the palace, so it will be more convenient if we need to do anything in the future."
Hou Wu cried: "You kid, why don't you discuss it with me? How can you tell me to explain to your father?"
Zhao Gao also cried: "Old uncle, there's nothing I can do about it. I am a human being and practice law. No big adventure can happen."
"Speaking of adventures and opportunities, I'm not a very hard-working person. I can't compare to Miss Rou who can travel around the world."
"After thinking about it, I have two advantages: hard work and knowing how to please people. If I want to make a difference in the future, I have to cut it off."
at this point.
What else could Hou Wu say, he could only sigh: "I still have some connections in the palace. It will not be difficult to send you to the East Palace and find a job for you. As for whether you can be appreciated by the prince, it depends on yourself."
That’s it.”
Zhao Gao smiled uglier than crying.
The reason why he dared to make this determination was because of Hou Wu's connections in the palace.
"Uncle, do I want to meet my boss?"
Zhao Gao hesitated: "In this state, I really don't have the face to see my boss."
"What is a face?"
Zhang Heng had long noticed that Zhao Gao was coming, but he just didn't come out: "You have to remember, the last thing before entering the palace is to hide your face at home. You won't get ahead with that thing."
"My boss."
Seeing Zhang Heng coming out, Zhao Gao hurriedly knelt down again: "It's all my failure that makes you worry."
Zhang Heng shook his head: "Your talent is average and your understanding is not that good. If you stay in Hengguzhai, you will be doing nothing. In my opinion, your future and outlet are in the palace. Once you enter the palace, you will be like a dragon entering the sea."
, the carp leaps over the dragon gate, this is your destiny."
Zhao Gao was in a daze: "My boss, you didn't lie to me, did you?"
Zhang Heng asked back: "You didn't lie to me, did you?"
Well...
Zhao Gao was a little confused: "My boss, I don't understand very well."
"Is your name really Zhao Gao?" Zhang Heng asked again.
Zhao Gao nodded.
"That's right."
Zhang Heng sighed: "With your name, you are born to be stabbed."
