Xianyang Palace, morning court.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
In the hall, the ministers were paying their respects. Ying Zheng, dressed in a black dragon robe, was kneeling on the highest throne, looking down at the ministers from above.
"Everyone, rise!"
Ying Zheng's majestic voice echoed in the palace.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
……
After a round of greetings, the officials took their positions and some officials began to step forward to report.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, there was news from Shu yesterday. This year's drought has reduced the production of grain. The governor of Shu has written a letter for help!”
" Reporting to the king, Prime Minister, there is news from the Qin-Zhao border. Zhao's general Pang He suddenly led his troops and approached the Qin-Zhao border. He seems to have the intention of attacking our Qin country. Please give us your instructions…"
……
The officials reported, but the one handling these matters was Lu Buwei.
In the imperial court, Lu Buwei was kneeling on the seat of honor below Ying Zheng, making decisions on all the affairs of the State of Qin with a single word, full of vigor!
However, Ying Zheng sat on the throne with a calm expression, but no one knew what he was thinking.
As a matter of fact, Ying Zheng was already used to Lu Buwei's control of the court, so he could naturally accept it. After all, this was a posthumous edict of the former king, and it had a righteous status. The officials in the court would still listen to Lu Buwei. In addition, there were many of Lu Buwei's students and old officials. Although Ying Zheng had the mandate of heaven and his prestige was unparalleled, it was still difficult for him to command the officials!
However, things were different now!
After Lu Buwei had dealt with dozens of state affairs, it was supposed to be Lu Buwei who asked Ying Zheng if he had any orders, and if there was nothing else, he could withdraw from the court. But today, after Lu Buwei had dealt with so many state affairs, his gaze fell on Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!”
Sitting on the throne, Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei in surprise.
"Zhongfu, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei and said.
Lu Buwei cupped his hands again.
"Ever since I received the will of the previous king, I have been working day and night for Great Qin's affairs. I have done my best to maintain Great Qin's current good situation, and I only hope that one day, I will be able to hand Great Qin over to the king!”
"In this way, Your Majesty will be able to easily realize the ambition of Great Qin to rise from the east and sweep across the six directions!”
"However, if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools! If Your Majesty wants to unify the six countries, not only do you need a brave warrior who is good at fighting, but our Qin soldiers also need a king who is good at fighting and familiar with military affairs!”
" Therefore, I think that although Your Majesty is familiar with military books, it's still too shallow on paper. Why don't you take advantage of the fact that you haven't taken charge of the government? Why don't you go to the army to train for two years and familiarize yourself with military affairs? You can also accumulate strength for the war against the six countries in the east…"
……
Lu Buwei cupped his hands towards Ying Zheng, and his words were sincere, as if all of this was for the good of Ying Zheng and the Qin Country!
Hearing this, Ying Zheng subconsciously glanced at his mother, Lady Zhao, who was standing beside him.
Meanwhile, Lady Zhao looked at Ying Zheng with a calm expression, her eyes filled with a kind smile.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng knew that his mother had been taken care of by Lu Buwei!
How could Ying Zheng not know that Lu Buwei's intention was to expel him from the royal court? Lu Buwei was a shrewd and astute man, and since he could bring it up in front of all the ministers, he would definitely be able to ensure that nothing would go wrong!
Sitting on the throne, Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng with a concerned expression, but a strange sense of nervousness rose in his heart.
After all, Ying Zheng was still the King of Qin State. Although he had yet to take over the government, he was still under the mandate of heaven. In addition, the East Military Hall was not a puppet that could be manipulated by him at will!
Lu Buwei was fully focused, waiting for Ying Zheng to counterattack.
Sitting on the throne, Ying Zheng looked down at Lu Buwei from above, but he was so happy that he almost burst out in joy.
Lu Buwei was also a genius, but he had made many mistakes in this matter!
He wanted to expel Ying Zheng, but he actually forced Ying Zheng into the army!
This was exactly what Ying Zheng wanted!
Although Ying Zheng had never heard of the saying that 'political power comes from the barrel of a gun', his innate will of a king made him firmly believe that strength was justice!
Lu Buwei was so focused on the power of the royal court that he forgot that power was the foundation of power!
With King Ying Zheng's identity and ability, he believed that if he went to the military camp, it would not take long for him to make the soldiers submit to him and subdue the entire army!
When he had military power, Lu Buwei would be nothing more than a fish on the chopping board.
"What Zhongfu said is true!"
"However, other than my own experience, I am also worried about the Qin country day and night!”
"Even though the Great Qin Country is filled with talents, in the future, if our Great Qin is to unify the world and manage the entire world, we will need many talents. Right now, our Great Qin Country's talent reserves are simply insufficient!”
"In the past, Prince Yan Zhao spent a lot of money to buy bones. Now, I want to set up a recruitment hall in Xianyang City to recruit talents for my Great Qin!”
"If I go to the army, this recruitment hall hasn't been set up yet…"
Ying Zheng pretended to be in a dilemma.
Hearing this, Lu Buwei immediately relaxed. He thought that Ying Zheng was finding an excuse not to leave Xianyang!
However, hehe!
This excuse was really clumsy…
Lu Buwei cupped his hands on the spot and helped Ying Zheng solve his problem.
"It is a blessing for my Qin country that Your Majesty has such a heart of cherishing talent! Congratulations to Great Qin!"
"However, if Your Majesty wants to train, it will only be in the Lantian camp. As for the recruitment hall, Your Majesty only needs to send people from the East Chamber to accept scholars from all over the world!”
"I will definitely spread the news and make Great Qin's Recruitment Hall famous!”
"At that time, scholars from all over the world will definitely compete to join us. At that time, the Recruitment Hall will be bustling every day. If Your Majesty wants to choose a talent from them alone, it will be extremely difficult!”
" Therefore, Your Majesty only needs to arrange for the people of the East Chamber to join the scholars in the future. Only then can they be divided into three grades. Your Majesty can summon the superior talents personally…"
In order to block Ying Zheng's excuse, Lu Buwei even directly proposed a perfect way to manage the Recruitment Hall, and promised to help the Recruitment Hall become famous!
Hearing this, Ying Zheng almost burst out laughing.
Zhongfu is really anxious!
"This…"
"Since that's the case, I'll have to trouble you with my Recruitment Hall!”
"As for training in the army, I'll go to the Lantian camp to temper myself…"
……
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Ying Zheng pretended to hesitate for a moment, then agreed to go to the Lantian Camp according to Lu Buwei's wishes.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
