Thump!
Thump!
Dull drumbeats sounded, and the court session began again.
Because of Ying Zheng's actions, the court meeting, which was supposed to be held once every three days, was brought forward to today.
This was also what all the ministers were secretly speculating about. Logically speaking, Ying Zheng should have taken a rest after entering the Broken Heaven Gate.
Could it be that the Great King had a deep foundation? Can be ignored?
Moreover, what kind of attitude should he have when facing a king of Celestial Being Realm?
Most importantly, the news of Lu Buwei's resignation as Prime Minister had also spread.
Everyone looked at Lu Buwei curiously.
He actually came to participate in the court meeting today!
What was the meaning of this?
Lu Buwei himself didn't know why the king had summoned him to attend the court meeting.
Perhaps it had something to do with rewards.
However, he did not know what it was.
He didn't dare to think too much about it. If he still had some thoughts before yesterday, then they were completely gone now.
Heavenly beings!
Immortals from the Broken Sky Gate!
How could they be enemies?
Moreover, Lu Buwei had never intended to do anything to Ying Zheng.
The palace gates opened.
The ministers walked towards the main hall with solemn expressions.
Unlike before, the Ying Zheng they were going to face today was no longer the Ying Zheng who had just ascended the throne.
It was a king.
A king that they respected and revered!
As soon as they stepped into the hall, they saw Ying Zheng.
The domineering and majestic aura that came at him almost condensed into a substance.
Just sitting there made people feel like they were facing the previous emperor. It was simply impossible to look straight at him.
This was a deva!
This was their king!
In an instant, all the ministers shouted in unison,"Yes, Your Majesty!"”
Ying Zheng raised his hand, gesturing for them to skip the ceremony.
The palace instantly fell silent.
No one spoke.
Facing the current Ying Zheng, none of them had recovered from yesterday's Broken Heaven Gate.
His mind was in turmoil, and for a moment, he did not know what to say.
At this moment, Lu Buwei suddenly stood up and said solemnly,""I feel that I am old, so I request Your Majesty to remove me from my position as Prime Minister and take back the fief of Marquis Wenxin. Also, I want to dismiss 3,000 of my followers today and focus on studying the path of the miscellaneous family.”
"Writing the Spring and Autumn Annals of the Lu Clan!"
This sentence contained a lot of information.
Even though Lu Buwei had already made a secret agreement with Ying Zheng, he had been the Prime Minister for a few years, after all, so he still had to go through the proper procedures.
Shang Yang, Zhang Yi, Wang Jian, and the others were listening from the side, and they all glanced at Lu Buwei.
They hadn't expected Lu Buwei to be so determined.
It was reasonable that he would lose his position as prime minister.
After all, Lu Buwei had too much power and too much money.
Before Ying Zheng ascended the throne, during the period of Ying Yiren, almost all major matters in the court had to be carried out with Lu Buwei's permission.
However, since Ying Zheng had already ascended the throne, and had displayed his powerful skills, his strength was beyond imagination.
No matter how well Lu Buwei did as Prime Minister, he couldn't stay.
However, the fief and the hanger-on had not expected this.
A fief of 100,000 households was not a small number.
The three thousand henchmen were the forces that Lu Buwei had painstakingly accumulated.
Give up?
How determined!
Hearing this, Ying Zheng also began to examine Lu Buwei seriously.
The Celestial Thearch's Eye had seen through Lu Buwei's thoughts clearly. He had even told his 3,000 henchmen yesterday to dismiss them.
It wasn't that he was hiding anything.
Instead, he really handed over everything he had. He just wanted to keep the miscellaneous family.
To fulfill his own Dao.
Because of this, Lu Buwei's aura changed.
All along, Lu Buwei's miscellaneous family had been unable to succeed because he had too much power.
It affected his Dao!
Now that he had completely put it down, he actually felt a little enlightened.
"The Prime Minister is surprised. He's only in his forties and his cultivation has reached the peak of the Finger Profound realm.”Ying Zheng said indifferently.
As soon as he said this.
Everyone's heart trembled.
Did the king not want to let Lu Buwei off?
Although this was somewhat overbearing, it was also a decisive killing move.
After all, Lu Buwei's attitude this time was too straightforward and strange.
"Moreover, the Prime Minister has made great contributions to the Qin Country. He led his troops to attack the territories of the Zhou Country, Zhao Country, and Wei Country.”
"Zhan Zhan is handling the government affairs for my Qin country, this is hard work.”
Ying Zheng's voice rang out in the great hall, each and every word he said was about Lu Buwei's achievements.
This made Shang Yang and the others nod slightly.
To be fair, Lu Buwei's performance was actually quite good.
It laid a good foundation for the Qin country to unify the six countries.
Although he was a powerful official, he was not a treacherous official.
As for having an affair with Concubine Zhao, which Empress Dowager in the Qin Country didn't have a male escort?
It was just a normal operation.
The only mistake was that this prime minister had too much power, and he was Ying Zheng's second father.
If he didn't step down, how would Ying Zheng manage the government?
Moreover, with the pre-arrival of the Chaos, Ying Zheng had no time to waste. He had to unify Great Qin as soon as possible, and even unify the world under the rule of Qin!
Only then could he conquer the heavens!
Hearing these words, Lu Buwei's heart was also stirred. He had not expected to receive such praise from Ying Zheng.
Then the reward must be a real reward, not death or poison!
He gritted his teeth and his eyes lit up.
In the past, he could invest in Qin Yiren, a rare commodity.
Today, the king can also invest.
And the investment capital was all he had!
In exchange for the king's support for my family.
"Your Majesty's words make this subject shed tears of gratitude, but this old subject is no longer able to take on the position of Prime Minister. In addition, this subject is willing to do one last thing for the Qin country.”
He looked around and said firmly,""This subject is willing to offer all of my wealth to the Qin country!”
"To build a foundation for our Great Qin to unify the world!”
As soon as he said this.
The hall was shocked, and even Shang Yang looked at Lu Buwei in surprise.
This old man was so determined?
One should know that with the means that Ying Zheng had displayed now…
All of his assets were really all of his assets. Don't expect to hide anything.
However, she was so obedient.
Wouldn't it be unreasonable if the king didn't reward him?
This old man must have some ulterior motive.
Shang Yang's eyes flickered. He immediately stood up and said solemnly,"Prime Minister, your words are too much. Our Great Qin is unified, so why do you have to do this? If he had all his assets, how would the prime minister's life be in the future? 50% will do."
"Exactly." Zhang Yi also noticed that something was wrong.”
"That's right. Even if the Prime Minister is not the Prime Minister, in my heart, he is still the old Prime Minister.”Wang Jian said in a deep voice.
"I also think so. The position of prime minister and the fief can be exempted, but this property is still good for yourself.”Meng Ao said.
These people were all smart.
Even though he couldn't see through Lu Buwei's scheme, he knew that there must be something wrong with this old man's actions.
There was no way Ying Zheng would accept it.
Ying Zheng also looked at Lu Buwei with interest. Almost instantly, he had seen through Lu Buwei's thoughts.
"The Prime Minister is doing this because he wants me to promote the Lu family's Spring and Autumn Annals in the Qin country?”
