In the beginning, he could be a businessman and become rich enough to rival a country. Then, he could become a politician and become the prime minister of the strongest country. He could lead troops to attack the land of Zhou, Zhao, and Wei, and establish Sanchuan Prefecture, Taiyuan Prefecture, and East Prefecture respectively.
He also compiled the "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals," which included eight views, six theories, and twelve eras. It gathered the theories of various schools of thought in the pre-Qin period and became an eclectic school.
Therefore, Lu Buwei was definitely a true all-rounder.
If he had not been forced by Ying Zheng to commit suicide by taking poison, it was not impossible for him to be called 'Master Lü' by the later generations.
"What does the Prime Minister have to report?”
Ying Zheng lowered his head and continued reading the information on the bamboo slips.
"Your Majesty is investigating Lord Chang Ping and Cheng Jiao…"
Lu Buwei waited for Ying Zheng to finish reading a roll of bamboo slips, then said in a deep voice.
Ying Zheng suddenly raised his head, his gaze dark, like that of a demon.
Boom!
A terrifying rumble rang out in Lu Buwei's mind, as if the world was about to explode, as if the sky was about to collapse and the earth was about to collapse. In an instant, he felt that Ying Zheng's figure, which was slowly standing up, had become incomparably tall and huge, and was getting bigger and bigger. An incomparably terrifying emotion rose in Lu Buwei's heart, and a boundless pressure pressed down on him.
This kind of pressure was a hundred times more terrifying than when he first encountered a great grandmaster.
In the decades of his life, nothing could compare to this level of terror.
Weng weng weng weng!
Lu Buwei seemed to have seen the incessant rumbling of the space, and Ying Zheng seemed to have become a giant that could support the sky and the earth, looking down as if he was looking at an ant that could be crushed at any time.
"Big!"
Lu Buwei's hands and feet turned cold, and his scalp tingled. His expression changed drastically.
"Kneel down!"
Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei indifferently, his eyes filled with endless killing intent. It was as if the Heavenly Emperor was issuing a decree, which kept ringing in Lu Buwei's ears and mind.
Bang! Bang!
Along with the cracking sounds of his bones and muscles, Lu Buwei kneeled on the ground, sinking into the ground.
Seeing Lu Buwei kneeling on the ground without any resistance, Shi Yao and Ge Nia were stunned. Ge Nia knew that Ying Zheng's strength was terrifying, but he did not expect it to be this terrifying. Lu Buwei was a Primordial Chaos Great Grandmaster, and even those top-notch Primordial Chaos Great Grandmasters in the world would have to treat him with caution.
However, Ying Zheng was able to force a Great Grandmaster to kneel on the ground with just his aura alone.
This was simply beyond his imagination.
"I'm afraid that even master is no match for the king.”This thought popped into Ge Nia's mind.
"No…no…impossible!"
Lu Buwei felt as if there was an Archaic divine mountain on his back. He raised his head with great difficulty, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"How is that possible? How is that possible?"
He had never imagined that Ying Zheng's power was even more terrifying than he had imagined.
He had been a businessman in his early years. At that time, he had not reached the point where his wealth could rival a country, and he had only just begun to practice martial arts.
Later on, when he encountered the battle between the martial grandmasters, the two martial grandmasters actually died together. He took advantage of it. Over the years, he had long fused the cultivation techniques of the two martial grandmasters into one for his own use.
He was very confident that he could even fight against those top-notch martial grandmasters in the world.
In the State of Qin, other than Donghuang Taiyi and Baiqi, he feared no one. Martial strength had become his greatest reliance.
But now…
Ying Zheng had displayed an incomparably terrifying will, and with just a glance, he had pinned him down on the ground, rendering him unable to move. His greatest reliance had become a joke.
"Prime Minister, how did you know that I was investigating Cheng Jiao and Lord Chang Ping?”Ying Zheng lowered his head and looked straight into Lu Buwei's eyes as he asked with an indifferent expression.
Sensing the increasingly intense killing intent in Ying Zheng's eyes, Lu Buwei shivered, and did not dare to delay any longer, saying hurriedly,""I have planted people in the Black Ice Platform and the Shadow Secret Guardians…"
"Then go to hell."
Ying Zheng stretched out his hand and pressed on the air.
Boom!
Lu Buwei felt the void above his head twist as if it was being squeezed by a great force. Crunching sounds could be heard as his bones, muscles, Genuine Qi, and willpower were all suppressed. It was as if he was going to die in the next moment.
"Great King! Great King! I came to the palace today to report this matter!”
" Die!" Lu Buwei shouted as his life was threatened.
"Hmm?"
"Tell me the truth," said Ying Zheng calmly as he withdrew his hand.”
Lu Buwei panted a few times, and a chill ran down his spine. He said as quickly as he could,""The Network has planted people in the Black Ice Platform and the Shadow Secret Guardians. I entered the palace today to present the Network to Your Majesty.”
"Continue."
"This subject is already old and weak, and is unable to do anything. The position of Prime Minister is busy, and this subject is already unwilling to accept it. Today, I entered the palace to specially request for my retirement.”
Old age? Incompetent?
Lu Buwei was only in his fifties and looked to be less than forty years old. With his cultivation, he had at least another fifty years to live. He had begged for bones and offered a net. Was he showing weakness to the enemy or was he really showing weakness?
"This subject is Marquis Wenxin, and the hundred thousand households in Henan and Luoyang are my fiefdoms. All these years, this subject has felt guilty every day. With this subject's contributions, I shouldn't have been conferred the title of Marquis.”
Lu Buwei glanced at Ying Zheng's expression, which still showed no emotion. He gritted his teeth and said,""Back then, this subject was doing business and had a small fortune. For the prosperity of Great Qin, this subject was willing to donate all of his fortune.”
Lu Buwei was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered, but still did not receive an answer from Ying Zheng. Just as he was feeling uneasy, a pair of strong hands helped him up. He raised his head and saw Ying Zheng's bright smile,""Zhongfu has sacrificed a lot for Great Qin, and this is what he deserves.”
After saying that, he changed the topic." However, since you are willing to pay for the prosperity of Great Qin, I am embarrassed to refuse. Of course, I will have to write a letter tomorrow to inform the officials and see what they think. After all, I am not a dictator.”
