Chapter 43: Ying Gao's Three Questions for Attention]
Ying Gao did not want the situation in the court to become confrontational all of a sudden, so while affirming that the Qin Dynasty implemented the legal system of the Shang Dynasty, he also complimented Lu Buwei.
However, at this moment, Qin Wangzheng and Lu Buwei are competing against each other, and the winner must be determined by the "Lu Family Spring and Autumn Annals" and the Shang Jun legal system.
Ying Gao, who lacked political experience, forgot about the two ends of the matter, and ambiguity was often a big taboo in the court.
After all, Wang Ben, Wang Jian, Li Si and others had already chosen Qin Wangzheng, and at the same time they had given up on Lu Buwei.
At this time, Ying Gao was just a newbie in politics, so he couldn't help but take things for granted, forgetting that political struggles are often the most cruel and ruthless.
Drawing a sword to kill is just one or two people fighting on the battlefield. This is a number that cannot be counted.
But in the political struggle, if it fails, hundreds of people will surely die, including women and children, without any sense of humanity.
Facing Ying Gao and Xi Ni, Qin Wangzheng on the throne frowned, but he didn't say much. Wang Jian and Wang Ben shook their heads.
In their opinion, Ying Gao is still too young. Although he is extremely intelligent, he still has too many flaws and must be polished.
Only by experiencing the vicissitudes of life can one become a peerless talent. At this moment, Qin Wangzheng, Wang Jian, and Wang Ben had such thoughts in their minds almost at the same time.
…
At this moment, Lu Buwei was sitting upright, not smiling at all. When the hall became quiet, he slowly and calmly said: "The current Qin Dynasty, whether it is rich or powerful, is not enough to talk about unifying the Central Plains."
"I think the Third Young Master's lofty remarks are far-fetched and not enough to take seriously."
"If it is for the good of the Qin Dynasty, we can only pursue the rule of law. The Qin Dynasty is not rich or strong, and the emperor's ambitions and corrective words are just in vain."
When Lu Buwei's words fell, the entire Xianyang Palace was silent, and the rapid breathing could be heard clearly. Lu Buwei's words were not impassioned, but everyone could hear the ridicule and admonishment in them.
Ying Gao's eyes were deep. He was not a fool. Naturally, he knew that these taunts and admonitions were obviously aimed at himself, but in fact they were an attack on King Qin's government.
It is really an absurd and unrealistic dream to talk about reunifying the Central Plains just after being crowned president...
Although he was going to Qin Wangzheng, Ying Gao was really extremely angry at this moment.
He showed kindness to Lu Buwei, but Lu Buwei ignored him. Instead, he used him to reprimand King Qin Zheng, which made Ying Gao lose his face.
With thoughts flashing in his mind, Ying Gao stood up suddenly. The quiet hall suddenly became quiet, and all the civil and military officials focused their attention.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ying Gao solemnly raised his hands to the King of Qin and said in a loud voice: "We, the Qin Dynasty, have strongholds in Weihan, the land of Yongzhou, and the natural granary of Bashu Pass in Hanzhong."
"We, the warriors of Great Qin, are invincible in every battle and attack, and our monarchs and ministers of Great Qin are all honest and upright!"
Having said this, Ying Gao looked directly at Lu Buwei and said decisively: "May I ask Marquis Wenxin, why can't I, the Qin Dynasty, conquer the world?"
"What's more, I only talked about Da Qin's plan to annex the six countries, but not immediately."
"If I, the ruler of the Qin Dynasty, don't even have the ambition to annex the six kingdoms, and everything has to wait, then I am still in charge of the army. What does it mean to be in a high and powerful position? It is better to go home and nurse the children!"
"Marquis Wenxin, what do you think of what I said?"
…
Being slapped in the face by Lu Buwei, Ying Gao no longer had any scruples. In his opinion, it was Lu Buwei who was seeking death anyway, so why should he be a good person? He might as well add fuel to the flames.
"Young boy, how dare you talk about national affairs!" Stimulated by Ying Gao's last words, Lu Buwei was a little hesitant to speak.
"Hahaha……"
Hearing this, Ying Gao sneered and faced Lu Buwei: "A disciple of a merchant is worthy of standing on the temple of Da Qin——!"
"boom!"
When these two sentences from Ying Gao and Lu Buwei came out, the atmosphere in the court immediately became solemn. The Great Qin court had not seen this kind of confrontation and exposing each other's shortcomings for many years.
A kid with a yellow mouth, a merchant’s disciple!
This was the weakness of Ying Gao and Lu Buwei, and as a result, they were exposed in the court hall and exposed in front of everyone.
Such a confrontation was full of gunpowder, but Qin Wangzheng didn't seem to see it and didn't stop at this time.
"I have devoted my whole life to the Qin Dynasty, and the revision of "Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals" has also improved Qin's laws. Does the Third Young Master think that Shandong scholars are not enough to stand in the Qin Dynasty?"
Who is Lu Buwei!
Even when he was angry, he still had a clear mind and dug holes one after another.
As Lu Buwei's words came out, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly changed. At this moment, even Qin Wangzheng's face became gloomy.
Wang Jian and others prayed for Ying Gao, but they could not agree to this, otherwise, Ying Gao's life would be over.
"Marquis Wenxin, Marquis Wenxin!"
Ying Gao shook his head, smiled at Lu Buwei, and said: "There are so many scholars in Shandong, but only the prime minister is Wenxinhou, so the prime minister alone cannot replace the scholars in Shandong."
"Besides, our king, the Qin Dynasty, cherishes talented people, and everyone knows that since Duke Xiao, there are many scholars from Shandong who have held high positions, been granted the title of marquis and worshiped the prime minister."
"This is the heart of the Qin Dynasty and the heart of the King of Qin, which is to treat everyone equally on the land of the Central Plains."
Having said this, Ying Gao's eyes showed a trace of murderous intent, he looked directly at Lu Buwei and said: "Ying Gao has three questions. I wonder if Marquis Wen Xin can answer them?"
At this moment, Ying Gao's murderous intent is revealed!
Before this court meeting, when Ying Gao came up with a plan against the King of Qin, it was just to suppress Lu Buwei's arrogance, and he did not intend to show his sharpness.
However, at this moment, Lu Buwei went too far to deceive others, which made Ying Gao have no intention of hiding his clumsiness.
Ying Gao has always been a person who will retaliate for his anger. Now that Lu Buwei is attacking him, even if he can't kill Lu Buwei, he still wants to take a bite of his flesh.
Seeing Ying Gao suddenly becoming serious, Lu Buwei's heart gradually became serious. He naturally knew that although Ying Gao was young, he must be taken seriously.
At this time, no matter who he is facing, he must use all his strength.
Lu Buwei knew in his heart that he could not be defeated at this moment!
After thinking about this, Lu Buwei said to Ying Gao: "If you have any doubts, Third Young Master, I am willing to answer your questions!"
At this moment, the main hall of Xianyang Palace has become a battlefield between Lu Buwei and Ying Gao.
This battle.
The entire Qin Dynasty was paying close attention to it. This was not only a battle between Lu Buwei and Ying Gao, but also a battle between Lu Buwei and Qin Wangzheng. It was also a battle between "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" and Shang Jun's legal system.
Therefore, at this moment, no matter Qin Wangzheng, Ying Gao, or Lu Buwei, they can't give up and can only bite the bullet.
