Most of the young people in the country have become the right-hand men of the three ministers and nine ministers, holding important positions.
Lu Buwei was sitting in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Cai Ze sat aside with a smile and took out the bamboo slips and asked Lu Buwei to check. The biggest beneficiary of this restructuring was probably Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei himself did not expect that he would actually get the position of Prime Minister.
While Wu Chengjun, Xunzi, Gongsun Long and other sages were in Qin, he could still become the prime minister, no, the prime minister, which made him ecstatic.
Years of investment finally paid off at this moment.
This businessman with an excellent political sense completed this huge deal. When he sat in the Prime Minister's Mansion and looked at Cai Ze sitting below, the excitement in his heart slowly dissipated. He did not
Foolishly, he also knew the purpose of King Qin's appointment and dismissal. The Qin State did not lack generals, nor did it lack grassroots officials. It was just that after Fan Ju left, there was no one who could succeed him. There were many people who could replace him, including Zhao Kuo, Xunzi, and Gongsun Long.
, even Cai Ze, young Han Fei, and Li Si in front of him.
This made Lu Buwei dare not show off at all. Cai Ze took out the bamboo slips and said seriously: "Prime Minister, I think: Zhan Gong should be the prime minister and belong to Cang Cao Cheng, and Zheng Guo should be the subordinate to Sikong Cao...", here
On the bamboo slips, all the appointment methods proposed by Cai Ze were outrageous. Lu Buwei smiled and looked at the bamboo slips handed over by Cai Ze. After looking at them for a moment, he nodded and said: "You do the work, I will
There’s no need to worry.”
It took him a lot of time to read all the bamboo slips.
"Mr. Cai, you are doing things as usual and will not make any mistakes. I don't understand why you just don't want to assume the position of Prime Minister? Your talents are better than mine, but I really don't have it.
I have the face to sit here and listen to you report these things." Lu Buwei shook his head and said. But Cai Ze laughed, he squinted his eyes and said: "The truth I know is: you get the credit you want.
Then you have to know how to save your own life.”
Lu Buwei was a little surprised. He thought for a moment and then asked: "Save your life?"
"The more prominent a person is, the more likely he is to be harmed by villains; the closer a person is to the king, the easier it is to offend the king. You are my friend, and I have a few things to tell you.
Prime Minister, the first thing you have to do is to treat all the ministers politely and don't be rude to them because your status is higher than theirs. This can avoid their jealousy and avoid being murdered."
"You must respect them but cannot get close to them, and cannot draw them to your side to increase your authority."
"When dealing with the king, you must strictly obey his instructions and do not make your own decisions. When you encounter anything, you must first ask him for advice and act with his consent. This way you can avoid being accused by the king..."
"You must obey the king's orders but know how to stop the king from making wrong decisions. This is your duty as the prime minister and the reason why the king uses you."
Lu Buwei stood up, bowed to Cai Ze, and said: "Thank you for your teachings, I will definitely keep these in my heart." Cai Ze smiled in return, and then said: "Please come and continue reading.
These bamboo slips." Lu Buwei then continued to read with him. Soon, the two of them completed the draft, and Lu Buwei came to give the bamboo slips to the King of Qin.
The King of Qin actually never thought about asking Lu Buwei to serve as the prime minister, but after Cai Ze resigned, there were not many people the King of Qin could appoint. Lu Buwei also made great contributions by inviting Wu Chengjun to Qin by offering suggestions.
For meritorious service, one can be enthroned as the Prime Minister. Therefore, the ministers did not object to this proposal. After all, the ministers all knew that the King of Qin valued Wu Chengjun.
In Zhao Kuo's mansion, Han Fei sat beside him a little tiredly.
Han Fei said helplessly: "I will never go to school again..."
"When I first started studying the laws, they were not complicated. I learned them quickly, but... later I started teaching "Ma Fu Shu"..."
Zhao Kuo laughed and asked: "These are all written by you yourself. It should be very simple to learn." Han Fei shook his head and said: "No, it is not simple. I wrote it casually.
They all interpreted tens of thousands of words, and asked me smugly if I was right, I... really can’t learn anymore.” Zhao Kuo laughed again, and the two were about to chat when they saw
Ge walked in.
"Mr. Ma Fu, a warrior came and spoke a lot of words, but I couldn't understand what he was saying."
Zhao Kuo then stood up and walked out of the mansion. When the warrior saw Zhao Kuo coming out in person, the warrior was a little frightened. He hurriedly bowed and bowed, and then said: "Greetings to Lord Wu Cheng, I came here on the order of Lord An Guo..." Zhao Kuo immediately
After understanding the purpose of the warrior's visit, An Guojun said several times that he wanted to see his grandson. Zhao Kuo turned around and looked at Zhao Zheng who was playing with clay figures in the courtyard and couldn't help but sigh.
He had always regarded Zhao Zheng as his own son, and there was no way he could tell him that he was not his biological father. That would be too cruel.
But he couldn't refuse the invitation of An Guojun. An Guojun was indeed Zhao Zheng's biological grandfather, and there was nothing wrong with the grandson that the old man wanted to see. He thought for a moment, then walked into the courtyard and asked Zhao Zheng to wash.
Cleaning his hands and getting him ready to go out, Zhao Zheng was very happy when he heard that his father was taking him out. After working for a while, the two of them got into the carriage, with Ge driving the car.
"I'll take you to see an old man this time. You can call him Dad..."
"Don't be rude to him..."
Zhao Zheng gave a few instructions, but Zhao Zheng became quiet, lowered his head, and was thinking about something.
An Guojun's courtyard is not far away from Zhao Kuo's residence. They are on the left and right of the palace. They can also be regarded as neighbors living in the same community. When Zhao Kuo and others arrived here, there were warriors ready to welcome them.
They, Ge, were taken to rest by the warriors. Zhao Kuo took Zhao Zheng's hand and walked into the courtyard. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw several children playing in the courtyard.
There were six or seven people, the oldest must be twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest looked like he had just learned to walk.
They all looked at Zhao Zheng curiously, but Zhao Zheng was not afraid. He looked at them proudly, raised his head, and followed Zhao Kuo into the inner room.
There were quite a few people in the inner room. An Guojun was sitting on the bed, but he was not kneeling down, he was lying like that. On the other side of him, there was a woman standing, who was not young either. She smiled.
He looked very kind, but the only ones sitting on his knees were a few young masters, including Ying Yiren. They looked at Zhao Kuo and then at Zhao Zheng. An Guojun struggled to get up, but Zhao Kuo hurriedly asked him to continue.
Sitting.
Lord An Guo shook his head helplessly and said, "I beg your forgiveness for not being able to stand up to greet me."
"No problem...no problem."
"This is Wu Chengjun? Why is he so young?" The woman on the side couldn't help but exclaimed. Ying Yiren said with a smile: "Mother, Wu Chengjun could discuss the art of war with his father before he was crowned.
When he was just crowned, he was able to lead the army to repel Lord Wu An... I felt very ashamed when I was around him..." Mrs. Huayang chuckled and then looked at Zhao Zheng.
Her eyes lit up and she said: "Child, come here!"
Zhao Zheng was neither afraid nor hesitant, and walked to her side openly.
An Guojun also looked at him with a smile and asked: "Why are you a kid not afraid of life at all?"
"Mr. Gongsun told me: A rabbit, even in a safe garden, will feel scared and in danger. It will tremble all over, curl up into a ball, and close its eyes. But a tiger can do whatever he wants even in the most dangerous place.
move around because everywhere is its hunting ground.”
"Hahaha~~ I can't see that you are still a little tiger..." An Guojun suddenly straightened his face and asked seriously: "Did Gongsun Long tell you: Even if he is a tiger, when he is young?
Even when he is young, he can't deal with a jackal that's taller than him?"
"He didn't tell me, but I know this truth. If the tiger follows the tiger, does it still need to be afraid of the jackal?" Zhao Zheng said and looked at Zhao Kuo again.
An Guojun was speechless and laughed again. He looked at Yiren and said, "This kid doesn't look like you, he looks like your father!" Ying Yiren's face was filled with pride and pride.
With a smile, the young masters sitting around him were not very comfortable at this moment. One young master Zhao Kuo did not know said angrily: "You kid, you are so rude, how can you compare your father to a jackal?"
Woolen cloth?"
An Guojun suddenly turned his head and stared at him fiercely, just like a tiger staring at its prey. The young man's face was pale, he lowered his head hurriedly and said, "Father, I was wrong, please forgive me."
An Guojun turned back to the gentle old man and looked at Zhao Zheng with a smile.
"Have you read? Do you know how to read?"
"I'm already reading. I just finished reading "Ma Fu Shu". I know the characters Zhao, Qin, and Qi a little bit..."
"Okay..." An Guojun admired, and then said with a smile: "I am your eldest father!" On the way here, Zhao Kuo had already told him to call him eldest father, so Zhao Kuo
Zheng Zheng shouted without hesitation: "Uncle!" An Guojun pulled Zhao Zheng to his side lovingly and touched his head. Mrs. Huayang also hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "I am you
’s eldest mother.”
Zhao Zheng shook his head seriously and said, "I have a eldest mother, but you are not my eldest mother."
Mrs. Huayang was stunned, and her expression suddenly turned bad. The stranger looked at this scene and wanted to say something. He looked at Zhao Kuo on the side, but did not say anything. Zhao Kuo then smiled and said: "My mother
Raise him up..." Mrs. Huayang nodded, but said no more. An Guojun thought for a moment and then said to Zhao Zheng: "You go out to play first."
Zhao Zheng looked at his father, and after Zhao Kuo nodded, he left here happily.
An Guojun watched the little guy leave, then looked at Zhao Kuo, and said with some worry: "When are you going to tell him the truth? After all, he is still the son of a stranger." Zhao Kuo frowned and thought.
After a moment, he said: "Let's wait until he grows up, he is still too young...I can't say it."
"Okay, that's all."
"I'm very happy that you came to visit me today. These are all my sons. If they come to ask you for advice in the future, please don't refuse..." An Guojun said, and Ying Yiren also brought him
He brought several of his brothers to visit Zhao Kuo. The two parties were officially acquainted, and then they sat down again. Ying Yiren smiled and said: "I heard: Mr. Zheng Guo, who followed you here, is
Talents in water conservancy construction."
"I also know a person like this. His name is Li Bing, who serves as the prefect of Shu County... He also built a canal in Shu County..."
"I know this person..."
"I already know that Mr. Zheng Guo sent people to build canals in Zhao State, and I also met with him. He has been inspecting various places in Qin State these days and said that canals can be built in Qin State..."
Several people started chatting like this.
But at this moment, in the courtyard, Zhao Zheng was surrounded by several children.
These children are all the grandsons of An Guojun and brothers of Zhao Zheng. However, these children do not know Zhao Zheng.
"Who are you?"
"I am Zhao Zheng."
"where do you come from?"
"Zhao Guo."
"It turns out to be Zhao Lu!!"
“Who do you think is Zhao Lu??”
"You! Zhao Lu! You are Zhao Lu!!"
.......
"An Guojun!!" Zhao Kuo was chatting with everyone about the water canal when he saw a middle-aged man pulling Zhao Zheng into the room angrily. This man looked a little thin and held on tightly.
Zhao Zheng's arm dragged him into the inner room. Zhao Zheng stared at him angrily, his eyes full of anger. Zhao Kuo stood up in a hurry. After being interrupted by him, An Guojun was also a little annoyed and asked: "
Mr. Yangquan? What happened?"
Soon, several children came in crying.
They cried loudly, and some of them had blood on their faces and rushed to their father's side with bruises and swollen noses. The young masters were very surprised and hurriedly coaxed them. Only then did Yangquan Jun say angrily: "This child,
Whose child is he? As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I saw him kicking his head. I couldn’t stop him!!" Everyone looked at Zhao Zheng, and Zhao Kuo also looked at him helplessly.
Asked: "Zheng, why do you want to beat them?"
"They called me a Zhao prisoner and told me to go back to Zhao country!"
Zhao Zheng shouted angrily.
Hearing Zhao Zheng's words, everyone's expressions changed drastically, especially Lord An Guo. He looked at the children and scolded: "Who taught you?! Ah? Qin and Zhao are countries like brothers.
Where did Zhao Lu come from?! Take care of your children!!" The young masters lowered their heads and dared not speak anymore. Yangquan Jun was a little confused. Who is this child? Who is this young man in front of him?
ah??
Yangquan Jun looked at Zhao Zheng with some displeasure and shouted angrily: "You kid, I just said a few words to you, why do you need to be so cruel?!"
"They were the ones who started it!"
"Still talking back!!"
"You!!!" Zhao Kuo suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Yangquan Jun's lapel. Zhao Kuo stared into his eyes and said word by word: "My child, I can educate myself, there is no need for you to be here.
Roaring and roaring...do you understand?" Yang Quanjun felt inexplicable fear in his heart, and he let go of Zhao Zheng's hand and nodded dully. Zhao Kuo then let go of him and looked at An Guo
Jun, said: "Sorry, I'm rude... I'll take the child and go back first."
Zhao Kuo took Zhao Zheng's hand and walked toward the door angrily.
An Guojun wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Zhao Kuo had already gone out.
"Who is he?" Mr. Yangquan came back to his senses and asked angrily.
"Wu Chengjun..."
"Um???"
Sitting on the carriage, Zhao Kuo's face was still a little angry, and Zhao Zheng's arms were turned blue from being held.
"How do you knock down kids who are bigger than you?"
Zhao Kuo suddenly asked. Zhao Zheng raised his head. He was already prepared to be scolded, but he did not expect that his father would actually ask him this question. Zhao Zheng grinned and said, "This is a secret."
Zheng, if you meet someone taller than you who bullies you, just hit his nose with your head. A headbutt will make him cry. Then while he is crying, continue to hit the bridge of his nose.
It’s best to break his bones so that he can’t fight back. By the way, this is my secret for beating people. I have relied on this secret to never lose a fight since I was a child. Don’t tell anyone else!
