Up until now, Lu Buwei could still clearly remember the scene when he first came to the State of Qin.
That day, the sky was vast and the sun was shining brightly.
Just like his mood.
He knew that one day, he would stand at the peak of this country.
Below one person, above ten thousand people!
In fact, he had done it!
But now, the young man in front of him wanted him to give up his official position and leave Xianyang.
Instantly, Lu Buwei's frown deepened.
He sat there with a dark expression and did not say a word.
Now, Ying Lan was holding onto his "lifeline".
He didn't know whether to agree or not.
Of course, he could also take a gamble.
After Lao Ai's death, he had been suppressed by Ying Zheng in various ways.
However, there was still a certain amount of power in the royal court.
Seeing that Lu Buwei had fallen silent, Ying Lan knew that he was conflicted. She changed her attitude and said in a much gentler tone,""Does Lu Xiangguo know why I have this evidence but did not directly offer it to my father, but came to negotiate with Lu Xiangguo?”
Most people liked to be polite before resorting to force.
However, Ying Lan was different. He liked to use force first before giving gifts.
A slap and a sweet date.
Now, the plot was revealed.
Next, it was time to use reason and emotion.
Old people, especially those who used to be in power, liked to hear good words.
"Why?" Lu Buwei raised his eyes.
"For Great Qin and for you, Lord Prime Minister!”Ying Lan said seriously.
"For this old man?" Lu Buwei said indifferently.
For Great Qin, he could understand.
After all, if he told Ying Zheng about this, it would inevitably lead to another round of bloodshed.
But for him? He did not understand.
"Yes, it is for you, Lord Prime Minister.”Ying Lan nodded and said sincerely," Actually, Ying Lan has always admired the Prime Minister.”
Lu Buwei was stunned for a moment before he chuckled.""Second Young Master, are you serious?”
He brought a deadly thing to threaten him, but said he admired him.
If this wasn't self-contradictory, then what was?
"Why not?" Ying Lan asked back," If it wasn't for the Prime Minister, there wouldn't be me, Ying Lan!”
"Back then, when Ying Lan's grandfather, King Zhuang Xiang, was a hostage in the State of Zhao, it was you who helped him return to Xianyang and ascend the throne.”
"It was also because grandfather ascended the throne that father was able to return from Zhao.”
"If father didn't return from Zhao, then Ying Lan wouldn't exist in this world!”
Lu Buwei's eyes lit up.
He nodded slowly and did not speak.
"It's reasonable." Ying Lan continued to speak passionately," Lord Prime Minister has a unique vision!”
"To be able to go through so much hardship from a merchant to become the prime minister of a country!”
"Moreover, during this period of time, you will fulfill your duties and expand the territory of Great Qin."
"Deepen the reform, abolish the beheading and knighthood system, solve the problem that has plagued the Qin country for 30 years, and further strengthen the Qin country!”
"He's definitely a role model for young people like me!”
"So, isn't it normal for Ying Lan to admire the Prime Minister?”
Lu Buwei's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
In the end, the anger from before could no longer be seen.
He was obviously very happy.
Even though he knew that Ying Lan was suspected of feeding him sweet soup.
However, what the other party said was true!
In fact, he liked to flatter people.
The premise was that this "flattery" could be done well.
Coincidentally, Ying Lan filmed it very well!
Of course, there was one thing that puzzled him. He pointed at the wooden box and asked," Since you admire me, why did you bring this to threaten me?"”
"What kind of person does the Prime Minister think my father is?" asked Ying Zheng instead of answering.”
Lu Buwei was silent for a moment before he replied,""Domineering and reserved, cruel but wise. He is a ruler who is scheming, resourceful, courageous, and ruthless.”
Although he was not on good terms with his adopted son now.
He had to admit that the other party was a powerful monarch.
Ying Lan nodded." That's right. Since that's the case, with Father's strength, he will control the entire imperial court sooner or later."”
"At that time, the Prime Minister will feel that even if there is nothing in the box.”
"Can the Prime Minister leave Xianyang safely?”
"In that case, if I ask the Prime Minister to resign and leave Xianyang in advance, is it for the good of the Qin country and the Prime Minister?”
“……”
Lu Buwei fell silent again.
Actually, he had always been worried about this.
She just didn't want to think about it deeply because she was afraid.
With Ying Zheng's vengeful and ruthless personality, he was a man who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.
If he had the chance one day, he would definitely not let him live!
It wasn't that she hated him.
Instead, he would not allow him to "cause trouble" again.
Because even if he was no longer the prime minister, his hanger-ons and the juniors he had nurtured in the court were still around.
Looking at Lu Buwei's ever-changing expression, she knew that he was about to give in.
So, Ying Lan opened his mouth again and said,"I know that although the Prime Minister is a Wei person, he has feelings for the Qin country. I also know that the Prime Minister loves profit more than fame.”
Lu Buwei pulled a long face, displeased by this remark.
But he also knew that the other party was right.
The words are rough, but the truth is not rough.
Indeed, he loved money more than fame.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come up with the Lu Family Spring and Autumn Annals.
However, who in this world did not love money and fame?
Ignoring Lu Buwei's unhappy expression, Ying Lan continued," As the Prime Minister of a country, the Prime Minister is indeed famous.”
"However, since the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty existed in name only, it was the Five Tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, followed by the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.”
"In the past seven hundred years, there have been at least a few dozen or a hundred famous Prime Ministers in the vassal states.”
"And Lord Prime Minister is just one of them.”
"Perhaps someone knows now, but what if a hundred or a thousand years later?”
"At that time, how many people will know about the Prime Minister?”
"Lord Prime Minister, don't you want your name to be known throughout history?”
"What are you trying to say?" Lu Buwei looked at Ying Lan.”
Ying Lan returned his gaze and said righteously,"What I want to say is that as long as the Prime Minister is willing to leave Xianyang, my father will be in charge of the government.”
"In ten years, the Qin Country will definitely be able to sweep through the Six Directions and unify the world!”
"At that time, you will be the former prime minister who will unify the world.”
"The name of the Prime Minister will naturally be known by more people in the future!”
"One is the prime minister of a vassal state, and the other is the prime minister of the world!”
"Do you still need to say more?”
Ying Lan's high-pitched words made Lu Buwei's expression change slightly.
Indeed.
How could the Prime Minister of a country compare to the Prime Ministers of the world?
Even if he resigned, the history books would still highlight him.
However…
Ever since King Zhaoxiang, the State of Qin had said that it would go east to destroy the six countries.
However, until now, it was still just a theory.
Because it was too difficult.
That was why he didn't dare to gamble.
If the six states allied, who knew if the Qin country's land would shrink? His back cover was at the border.
Thinking of this, he muttered to himself in a daze,"Can the Qin country really unify the world?"
"Of course I can." Ying Lan raised her head, her tone filled with confidence." Since the Prime Minister understands my father, then he knows his ability!”
"Besides, I'm here!"
"The Qin country will definitely be able to destroy the six countries!"
"Perhaps, it won't even take ten years!"
“……”
She met the young man's clear and confident eyes.
Lu Buwei's gloomy heart was touched again after so many years.
He had been young and energetic before.
Later, he became the Prime Minister of a country and satisfied himself.
He no longer had the heart to advance.
Every day, he was thinking about how to expand the back cover and how to earn fame.
Lu Buwei fell silent again.
This time, the silence lasted for about a quarter of an hour.
Fifteen minutes later, he slowly closed his eyes and nodded."I agree to your two conditions.”
