After drinking another full cup of wine, Lu Buwei's beard and hair turned gray, and there was a trace of sadness on his old face.
He entered the official career in middle age, and although he was successful and famous, he also devoted his whole life to the Qin Dynasty. At this moment, his heart inevitably felt sad.
"Even if it's what you said, I can't see it anymore!"
Not being able to see the prosperous age that one wants, it is a difficult process for a person like Lu Buwei who pursues ideals.
"Marquis Wenxin, I didn't tell you..."
Raising his glass to Lu Buwei, Cai Ze smiled and said: "Laozi said: A small country with few people must be governed by inaction. Confucius said: benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust..."
"Throughout their lives, they have not even seen the unification of the world, let alone the day when their ideals will be realized!"
"And some ideals can only be ideals and may not be realized!"
The two people raised their glasses and drank together. Cai Ze sighed quietly and said: "Looking at the entire history of the Qin Dynasty, only Shang Jun did it."
"Shang Jun saw with his own eyes the rise of Qin in Xichui, and even captured Hexi and became one of the great powers in the Central Plains. The princes of the world despised Qin and refused to form an alliance with Qin. This turned into the princes of the world sending envoys to Qin to congratulate him, and the princes of the world feared Qin.
"
"However, Lord Shang sacrificed his own blood for the sake of the Qin Dynasty and for the sake of the Qin Dynasty with the torture of quartering the body with five horses."
…
"Prime Minister, the young master wishes to see you..."
While the two were drinking, the waiter quickly came over and whispered to Lu Buwei.
"Young Master is tall?"
With a murmur, Lu Buwei suddenly woke up from the alcohol. He would not really treat this weird boy as an eight-year-old boy.
No matter it was the scene in Qinian Palace where he rushed towards me, or the scene at Xianyang South Gate, or even the scene in Xianyang Palace.
The young master left a deep impression on him.
If there is no expert guidance behind Mr. Gao, then he is a genius who is not inferior to Gan Luo.
As Gan Luo's boss, Lu Buwei naturally has a deep understanding of Gan Luo's young genius.
When he first met Gan Luo, Lu Buwei knew that there were real geniuses in this world.
"I would like to ask you, Sir, to go to the pavilion and bring me a pot of herbal tea!" With a deep look in his eyes, Lu Buwei was silent for a moment and then ordered the attendants.
"promise."
…
"Third Young Master, the Prime Minister invites you!" The attendant came out and bowed solemnly to Ying Gao.
"lead the way!"
With a slight nod, Ying Gao followed the attendant into the Wenxin Academy and looked at the Wenxin Academy. He was very curious about the first national university in the Qin Empire.
Similarly, he was also full of curiosity about Lu Buwei.
"Qin Gao, I have met Marquis Wenxin and Lord Gangcheng!" When he reached the stone pavilion, without being greeted by his attendants, Ying Gao bowed solemnly to the two of them and said.
Cai Ze smiled and said nothing. Lu Buwei put down the wine cup in his hand and said to Ying Gao: "I wonder what the reason for the arrival of Young Master Gao is?"
Seeing Lu Buwei's bad attitude, Ying Gao didn't care. He chuckled and said: "In accordance with the wishes of the father, I came to talk to Marquis Wenxin. I wonder if Marquis Wenxin has time?"
Ying Gao admired Lu Buwei very much, and he also knew that leaving Lu Buwei would only benefit Da Qin and not bring any harm.
Of course, this was the case when Lu Buwei upheld the legal system of the Shang king and the Qin king's government.
Ying Gao didn't want the Qin Empire to go down the old path. He knew in his heart that it would be a bit foolish to rely on just one person to control the mighty Qin Empire.
The power of one person is too small and is insignificant under the mighty torrent of history.
And as long as he can unite a large number of people, once he exerts influence at a specific point in time, it is not impossible to make the carriage of Da Qin deviate from its own track.
Hearing this, Lu Buwei took a deep look at Ying Gao, then turned to Cai Ze and said, "Jun Gangcheng, please excuse me——!"
"Ha ha……"
With a chuckle, Cai Ze drank another glass of wine: "Marquis Wenxin, please go. I don't need you to accompany me here. Since the Third Young Master is here, there must be something important."
"Farewell!"
Lu Buwei walked in front, and Ying Gao nodded and smiled at Cai Ze: "Jun Gangcheng, just drink, I can't delay Marquis Wenxin for long..."
…
Watching Ying Gao and Lu Buwei leave, Cai Ze's cloudy eyes burst into light. He had a feeling that the world of Da Qin was about to change.
Moreover, Ying Gao gave him a strange feeling, always feeling that there was a turning point in this matter, and the turning point was Ying Gao.
"Master, sit down!"
Lu Buwei made a magic move, and then he sat down safely on the other side of the long table: "There are only you and me here, so you can talk about anything important."
Ying Gao sat down calmly and glanced at Lu Buwei. He felt that Lu Buwei looked a bit older in just a few days: "Marquis Wenxin, you must also know what my father means."
"My father told me that Marquis Wenxin made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty and was very kind to him..."
Seeing Lu Buwei's eyes twinkling, Ying Gao smiled slightly. He knew that Qin Wangzheng had feelings for Lu Buwei, and Lu Buwei also had feelings for Qin Wangzheng.
These two people are different from Xiaogong Shang Yang, and they are also different from King Huiwen and Zhang Yi. They have a trace of paternal affection.
"Actually, Marquis Wenxin, I don't think there must be any opposition between you and your father!"
"boom……"
Lu Buwei waved his right hand as he set the herbal tea, then raised his head, looked directly at Ying Gao, and said, "What do you mean by this, Third Young Master? You might as well say it clearly?"
"My father aspires to unify the world, annex the six kingdoms, fulfill the dream of the previous kings of the Qin Dynasty since Duke Xiao, and incorporate the Central Plains into one country."
"Marquis Wenxin has served as the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty for decades. He must also know that the Shang monarch's legal system will be a catalyst for war. This is something he cannot give up in terms of his father's ambition."
"And Marquis Wenxin wrote "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" with the intention of neutralizing Qin's laws, making them both hard and soft, and achieving the great road of eternity!"
Speaking of this, Ying Gao said solemnly: "With my father's great talent and broad strategy, coupled with Marquis Wenxin's vertical and horizontal talents, and the unity of all the people in the Qin Dynasty."
"As well as the invincibility of the warriors of the Great Qin, once the monarchs and ministers unite as one and work together to move eastward, it will definitely not take more than ten years for our Great Qin to destroy the six kingdoms and unify the world."
"This also means that Marquis Wenxin can see with his own eyes that Qin unified the Central Plains and became a unique great power."
Hearing Ying Gao's eloquent talk, Lu Buwei's heart moved and he couldn't help but said to Ying Gao: "Even so, what does it have to do with me, what does it have to do with "Lu's Spring and Autumn"?"
"Hahaha……"
With a chuckle, Ying Gao's eyes were as bright as a torch: "Marquis Wenxin knows his father very well, do you think he doesn't understand the shortcomings of Qin Fa?"
"In order to unify the Central Plains, my father must adhere to the legal system of the Shang monarch. But once the Central Plains are unified and there is only Da Qin in the world, will my father still adhere to the legal system of the Shang monarch?"
