Chapter 14 Each choice
"My Lord Prime Minister, are you telling me this to drag the Black Ice Platform into the vortex?"
At this moment, Ying Zifei secretly cursed Lu Buwei as an old fox. Ever since Luowang approached Qin and was used by Qin, the right to use this force has represented something.
"You and the king dragged me into this game." Lü Buwei snorted and said with an incomprehensible emotion: "The marriage with the Chu clan is the bargaining chip for the king and you to turn the tables on this plan."
"With the title of 'Second Father', the truth is pushed to the point where there is no room for maneuver."
"Ying Zifei, do you dare to say that you didn't have a hand in this?"
Lu Buwei now recognizes the ability of King Ying Zheng of Qin, but the secret base of Heibingtai and even the things in other secret bases are all in the hands of Heibingtai controlled by Ying Zifei.
This guy is not a simple person!
Ying Zifei was speechless, and spread his hands and said: "Master Xiangguo, I have given the king the right to use all these things, but I have never interfered with the king's decision on these matters."
"Really?" Lu Buwei was slightly stunned when he heard this. He was confident that Ying Zifei would not lie to him at this moment because there was no need to.
After all, there is no need for the two of them to continue competing against each other at this time.
"Master Xiangguo, you think too highly of me."
Ying Zifei wiped the Chiyou sword and said leisurely: "Prime Minister, until now, do you still want to look down on the king?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Buwei's expression froze for a moment, then changed again.
After a while, he let out a long breath and said in a leisurely tone: "Thank you for the reminder!"
Yes, until now, in his heart, he only felt that King Qin Ying Zheng was very politically savvy, but he also regarded him as a child who had not grown up yet.
"No need." Ying Zifei smiled and said, "In the current court of Qin, or even in the future court, how many people can make the Prime Minister pay so much attention to the king?"
"Whether it's a political conspiracy or a future hegemony, the king's decision this time has proved a lot."
"Mr. Xiangguo, what a blessing!"
Lu Buwei narrowed his eyes, then burst into laughter.
Yes, the decision made by King Ying Zheng of Qin today is the best respect for Lu Buwei.
Whether it was emotional gratitude or a struggle for power, King Ying Zheng of Qin had already given Lu Buwei what he deserved.
Such a relationship between the monarch and his subjects will surely become a good story in future history books.
Of course, the prerequisite is that after today, Lu Buwei can restrain his desire for power and not cross the line drawn for him by King Qin Ying Zheng today.
"After hearing what you said, I feel that the king's address to me as 'Uncle' is more sincere."
Ying Zifei smiled when he heard this, and said, "Only with a little sincerity and a little calculation can the Prime Minister feel at ease, right?"
Lu Buwei also smiled when he heard this. Yes, standing at their level, some things are already very rare.
"That's fine. From today on, I will be a wise minister!"
Ying Zifei had no doubt about the truthfulness of Lu Buwei's words. People like Lu Buwei needed a stage to perform.
And what King Ying Zheng of Qin could give him was a bigger and higher stage.
"After returning to Xianyang, you can talk to Cheng Jiao." Lü Buwei said slowly. Ying Zifei was stunned and asked puzzledly: "Has the Prime Minister changed his mind?"
Lu Buwei nodded and said in an inexplicable tone: "My original plan was to lure those people to push Chengjiao forward and then catch them all in one fell swoop."
"This is the only way to resolve the threat to the king." Lü Buwei changed the subject and said, "But you just reminded me of my true self. Don't underestimate the king's ability and vision."
"Let's talk to him. What we are going to do in the future will be the beginning of an era. It is best not to make the life and death of Cheng Jiao a sore spot for the king to be accused and slandered."
"If he still insists on being wrong, then let the truth come out."
Ying Zifei nodded slightly. It would be good to have a talk. There were too many things behind Cheng Jiao. Every decision he made forward was a drain on the Qin State's resources.
After a moment's thought, Ying Zifei said, "Prime Minister, what if Queen Mother Zhao Ji hands over that part of Luowang's power and Cheng Jiao takes over?"
Lu Buwei frowned slightly, but soon relaxed his brows and said with some amusement: "Are you trying to use this method to force him and some others to surrender?"
Being in charge of that part of Luowang means that Cheng Jiao will be under the supervision of Lu Buwei and Ying Zifei.
Most of the power of Luowang is in the hands of Lu Buwei, and Ying Zifei's Black Ice Platform has the power of supervision and investigation.
It can be said that once Cheng Jiao took control of that part of Luowang's power, it would no longer be a help to him, but a sword hanging over his head.
"Master Xiangguo, I would like to use this opportunity to try to split the web and see the reactions of those who have hidden too well."
Ying Zifei said calmly, and then said: "If possible, in the future, I will try to split up Luowang's top killer."
Lü Buwei frowned upon hearing this, looked at Ying Zifei and said, "The net cannot be disassembled. Ever since the net came close to Qin and was used by Qin, those who feared the user of this sharp blade have tried it."
"It's a pity that they all failed!" "So, I want to see what's hidden behind it." Ying Zifei smiled slightly and continued: "Because of the Yin-Yang family's resolute attitude to enter Qin, some interesting things have emerged."
"Is that so?" Lu Buwei thought for a moment and said, "Then it's up to you."
"In the future, I trust your Black Ice Platform more than Luowang's intelligence network."
"I will continue to use this sharp blade of Luowang. If you can split it, I will not object."
Ying Zifei knew some vague secrets, and so did Lu Buwei.
"Thank you, Prime Minister." Ying Zifei bowed slightly. With the support of Lu Buwei in this matter, he had fewer people holding him back, and it was relatively easier to test the waters.
……
After entering Xianyang City, the two separated and Ying Zifei went into the Qin Palace. He needed a clear attitude from King Ying Zheng of Qin on the matter of Cheng Jiao.
King Ying Zheng of Qin was extremely relaxed at this moment. Today's conversation with Lu Buwei had greatly relieved his worries.
After Ying Zifei arrived, the two had a closed-door conversation. Today, King Ying Zheng of Qin seemed more relaxed and cheerful.
Talking about Cheng Jiao, Ying Zheng sighed with a complicated expression and said: "Let me talk to him. For some things, the only way to completely solve the problem is to completely eliminate the only resentment in his heart."
Cheng Jiao believed that Ying Zheng had taken away everything from him, and Ying Zheng was well aware of this.
Although the two brothers have affection for each other, there are too many troubles and emotions between them that are difficult to express.
"Your Majesty, how about letting me try to talk first?" Ying Zifei said. He knew that once King Ying Zheng of Qin and Cheng Jiao had a showdown, there would be two possible outcomes.
Either Cheng Jiao completely gives in and never thinks about something again.
Or you can just use chariots, horses, and cannons and make a big gamble on that slight chance.
"No need." Ying Zheng shook his head slightly, and said firmly: "Brother, there are some things that I am the only one who can solve the problem perfectly."
"Not only him, but also my grandmother, Queen Mother Xia Ji. There are some things that I will no longer tolerate. At the beginning of the future era, I don't want to see anyone from within disrupt my pace."
Ying Zifei said no more. At this moment, King Ying Zheng of Qin and Lu Buwei were in the same rhythm, and some things were best solved by him, the King of Qin.
After paying his respects and saying goodbye, Ying Zifei walked out of the palace and returned to the residence of Marquis Zhen'an, where he began to keep a low profile again.
The cold of winter cannot cover up the throbbing hearts of some people, and the changing rhythm of the court in Xianyang City makes it even more difficult to understand.
Some of Lu Buwei's actions were incomprehensible, but Ying Zifei didn't pay attention to them. Instead, he helped Qing Yunzi speed up the construction of the Medical Academy.
"Boy, if every city in the world has ten medical huts in the future, you will be the first to make contributions."
In the mansion of Marquis Zhen'an, Qing Yunzi sat beside Ah Fu's barbecue grill and talked happily.
"This will happen at least 20 years later." Ying Zifei smiled and poured wine for Qing Yunzi. He then said, "Senior, you'd better tell the seniors in the medical field to test and prepare more prescriptions."
"Once we have a finished product, we can promote it widely. While earning money to subsidize the expansion of the Medical Academy, we can also make it convenient for more people."
Qing Yunzi nodded slightly. Although he didn't quite understand what was going on, Ying Zifei had already mobilized some talents from the Black Ice Platform to take charge of this matter.
In addition, Queen Mother Zhao Ji, in addition to being in charge of the female doctor training program, is also increasingly interested in taking over some matters, so Qing Yunzi is even less concerned about this aspect.
"The Queen Mother is overworked. We are all worried that she will quit."
Qing Yunzi said with some sighs, Ying Zifei shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, senior, our queen mother has already aroused her ambition for success."
If at the beginning Queen Mother Zhao Ji wanted to give it a try and have some fun, now, Queen Mother Zhao Ji has obviously found a very interesting path.
It is difficult for people to escape fame, wealth and power. Queen Mother Zhao Ji had no shortage of them, but she also wanted the temptation of fame and power.
The temptation to go down in history!
The temptation of opening a special inheritance page for her in the medical family inheritance!
The temptation for the world to bow down and thank you!
All these things will become the driving force for Queen Mother Zhao Ji to move forward step by step.
It can be said that the spiritual emptiness of the current Queen Mother Zhao Ji has been filled by these motivations.
After finding her own value, Queen Mother Zhao Ji is now very tired, but her mental state is very good.
Qing Yunzi laughed loudly at this time, and said in a very good mood: "The old man and others will naturally remember the Queen Mother's contribution. After the Medical Academy is built, we will compile medical classics in the future as a means of inheritance."
"This medical book must bear the name of Queen Mother Zhao Ji to show our medical profession's gratitude."
Ying Zifei gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Senior, you have finally grasped the key points."
Qing Yunzi laughed again. It could be said that he had figured out some of Ying Zifei's style of doing things.
Fame, wealth and power are hard to escape from in this world. If you grasp what the other party wants, some things will naturally be of help to you.
