Chapter 243 The Minister Asks the King to Crown His Hand
When Yang Ming and Xiong Qi were secretly discussing in the study of Changping Monarch's mansion to jointly promote Qin Wangzheng's pro-government, in Xiangguo's mansion, Lu Qi was also asking his father Lu Buwei about similar matters.
"Father, although the position of internal history is not named as Jiuqing, it is a more important position than Jiuqing. Why did you hand it over to Ganquan Palace? Isn't that boosting the power of Ganquan Palace?"
"Encouragement? That's a good thing to say, but that's what I meant. I'm not worried that Ganquan Palace is too powerful, I'm just worried that Ganquan Palace isn't powerful enough." Lu Buwei looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, with a thoughtful look on his face meaning.
"Why is this? Since Yang Ming appeared in Ganquan Palace, it has gradually drifted away from us." Lu Qi asked in surprise.
Although the current Xiangguo Mansion and Ganquan Palace are not enemies, they are definitely not on good terms, but Lu Buwei wants to increase the power of Ganquan Palace, which is really incomprehensible to Lu Qi.
"Back then, we cooperated with Ganquan Palace because we were not strong enough, so we had to join hands to control the court situation, but it is different now. Now I am only worried that my power will be too heavy, so that it will be difficult for me to win the whole body in the future." Retire, so we have to find an enemy for ourselves." Lu Buwei said.
"Respect yourself?" Lu Qi said tentatively.
"You can see this, you are not too stupid." Lu Buwei glanced at Lu Qi and said.
"It's just that after the domineering Queen Mother Zhao moved to Ganquan Palace, she suddenly seemed to be a different person. She lived in a secluded house and came out, which was really unexpected for me." Lu Buwei revealed a thoughtful look when he spoke.
"She had no intention of meddling in the government affairs, and I couldn't do anything about it, and Yang Ming was beyond my expectation."
"Yang Ming is very courageous, and he can even be said to be a rare arrogant person in this world." As Lu Qi spoke, he recalled the information he had learned about Yang Ming, as well as the past, including when he was with Yang Ming when he was in the Guard's Mansion. s contact.
"That's true, but he is also very cautious. When the Queen Mother Zhao suddenly became reclusive, I started to investigate Yang Ming. The information I found shocked the old man a lot. He dared to attack the Queen Mother Zhao. .” Lu Buwei revealed a strange expression while speaking.
"It's really surprising. Ever since I knew about it, I've been thinking about what kind of person Yang Ming is. He dared to have such a relationship with the Queen Mother Zhao. It can be seen that he is a bold and reckless person. People are also greedy people, so this is actually a good thing for us, after all, Queen Mother Zhao wants to live in seclusion, but Yang Ming may not be willing."
"So, when the Queen Mother Zhao was seeking power and position for Yang Ming, I helped in secret. After all, if Yang Ming can use the power of the Queen Mother Zhao to integrate the forces that are inclined to the Queen Mother Zhao..."
"Young people are always young and vigorous, and Yang Ming is the most vigorous and vigorous. In this way, the power of Ganquan Palace will be even greater. At that time, the king will be even more inseparable from us."
"After all, we are just courtiers. To Qin, we are outsiders after all. But Queen Mother Zhao is different. She is really capable of abolishing and establishing."
"It's just." Speaking of this, Lu Buwei showed a wry smile: "It's just that I was wrong about Yang Ming after all. He seems to be bold and reckless, but in fact he is extremely cautious. On the battlefield, he is obviously extremely greedy. But in politics, he is too cautious, he is close to currying favor with Queen Mother Zhao, it seems that it is not for power at all."
"He doesn't even keep a single guest. In such a huge mansion, there is only one maid to take care of the daily life, which is really strange."
"If things go on like this, in the power structure of the Qin State, there will be a direct conflict between us and Xianyang Palace. For us, that is not the situation we want. Therefore, we must push Ganquan Palace behind." Lu Buwei is cunning and calculating.
"Isn't father worried about raising tigers?" Lu Qi asked tentatively.
"According to the relationship between Yang Ming and Queen Mother Zhao, it is impossible for him to become a fierce tiger. It is enough to kill him at a critical moment. It is impossible for him and the king to be of the same mind. As long as this can be guaranteed A little is enough for us."
Lu Buwei is worthy of being the most outstanding politician of this era. His ability to plan is amazing, but he doesn't know Yang Ming. He doesn't know that although Yang Ming can't play chess, he can set the chessboard.
Therefore, when he was thinking about how to push Yang Ming and Zhao Ji behind him to the fore, Yang Ming directly wanted to promote Qin Wangzheng by himself.
Zhao Ji's thighs are not only soft, but also very strong. Yang Ming doesn't want to fight for anything.
In the early morning sunshine, Qin's civil and military officials walked out of their homes, either by car or on horseback, and headed towards Xianyang Palace.
Today is the great dynasty, in Xianyang City, officials who reach a certain level must enter Xianyang Palace to discuss matters, and the person in charge, Xiangguo Lu Buwei is no exception, but Lu Buwei, who is No. 1 under the throne of the Qin Dynasty, does not need to So anxious to rush to Xianyang Palace, after all, the more important the person, the later they usually appear.
Sure enough, when Lu Buwei came to the main hall of Xianyang Palace, on both sides of the royal road in the center of the main hall, the clans, dignitaries, and ministers of civil and military affairs of Qin State had already lined up on the left and right, enjoying the eyes of the people around him, Lu Buwei walked to his place, then It is the closest position to the throne.
Lu Buwei likes to be looked up to by the important officials of Qin State. Back then, he gave up everything he had in Zhao State and came to Qin State for the sake of power, but now he has got what he wants.
It wasn't until seeing Qin Wangzheng and Queen Mother Zhao Ji that Lu Buwei realized something was wrong.
As Zhao Ji herself said, she likes to have fun the most, and she doesn't like things like political achievements at all. Therefore, Zhao Ji rarely appears in the court of Qin State, which is why Lu Buwei can monopolize power in Qin State one of the reasons.
But today, Zhao Ji was uncharacteristically appearing in this court.
Lu Buwei vaguely felt something was wrong.
"In this Chengyu rebellion, the guards in the guard's mansion should be the first in terms of merit. I think that the guards in the guard can be promoted to the position of captain of the guard to make up for the vacancy of the captain of the guard." In Qin Wangzheng's At the behest of the Chinese doctor, Ji Ling came out to play.
The captain of the guard army, the chief of the guard army mansion, ranks two thousand stones, among the Qin army, except for the generals who actually lead the troops, in Xianyang, among the military officials, he can be ranked among the top three existences, among them In fact, only the three positions of Guowei, Taiwei, and General can stabilize this position.
"Do you have different opinions?" Qin Wangzheng, who was sitting on the throne, asked.
"The minister seconded the proposal." One of the Nine Ministers, Wei Wei Lu Jie came out and said.
"My minister seconded the proposal." Lord Changping and Xiong Qi, the official censor, also came out to agree.
When Lu Jie and Xiong Qi, who represent the Ganquan Palace and the Chu family, expressed their attitudes, the officials who belonged to or tended to the two sides expressed their attitudes one after another. For a while, all eyes in the court were on Lu Buwei.
Now, just waiting for Lu Buwei to speak, as long as Lu Buwei speaks, Yang Ming will be promoted to the captain of the guard army, in charge of monitoring the army and assessing the generals. When the Taiwei is vacant and the leading generals are away, Yang Ming is the leader of Xianyang. Among them, the most popular military official.
"Yang Ming can be the captain of the army." Lu Buwei said under the watchful eyes of all civil and military ministers.
"Quite." Qin Wangzheng finally took out his voice.
Yang Ming, who successfully completed his promotion, walked out of the very front position on the left column, and bowed to the throne. After thanking him, Yang Ming did not retreat, but continued: "The king is already twenty, and I invite the king to be crowned and governed personally." .”
As Yang Ming's voice fell, the atmosphere in the hall became quiet. There was a conspiracy between Yang Ming and Xiong Qi, Zhao Ji and the Queen Mother Huayang. Since it was a conspiracy, not many people knew about it. Therefore, when Yang Ming When these words are thrown out, it can be said that a situation that is enough to cause turbulent waves has been thrown into the deepest pool in the world, the Chaotang.
The king crowned himself in charge?What does this matter mean?
"Your Majesty invites the King to be crowned and take charge of the government." Xiong Qi, who had just retreated into the court, walked out again.
"Your Majesty, I invite the King to be crowned and take charge of the government." Seeing that Xiong Qi had already expressed his attitude, Chang Wenjun said not to be outdone.
Wei Wei Lu Jie's eyes fell on Yang Ming, and he couldn't help showing more regret in his hesitant expression. He was a little slower, and let Chang Wenjun take the lead. Thinking of this, Lu Jie came out vigorously and said loudly : "Your Majesty, I invite you to be crowned and be in charge."
Lu Buwei also reacted at this time, no wonder the Queen Mother Zhao appeared here today, and in the midst of pondering for a while, more and more people came out to agree.
"Quiet." Lu Buwei looked back at the officials. For a moment, the atmosphere that was still hot suddenly stopped. The majesty of Lu Buwei who has been in charge of the government for more than ten years is not because of his own boasting, but with his own strength and achievements time and time again. of proof.
"Your Majesty is over [-] years old and married, so he should be crowned and governed, and the ministers also invite the King to be crowned and governed." After suppressing the voices of everyone, Lu Buwei said with a hammer, this is the power from the Prime Minister Lu Buwei.
"Since all the ministers think so, then the king should be crowned and ruled by himself. The seal and tiger amulet of King Qin have also been returned by the government." Zhao Ji, who was behind the curtain obliquely behind the throne, said.
Zhao Ji's clear and melodious voice echoed in the silent hall, Lu Buwei's pupils couldn't help shrinking, Zhao Ji's was simply beyond his imagination, Qin Wang's seal is easy to say, Qin Wangzheng was in charge, and should have been handed over, but What about the Tiger Talisman?Zhao Ji actually handed it over directly.
With the Tiger Talisman in hand, Qin Wangzheng can be said to have truly possessed the sword of kingship, plus Qin Wang's seal...
Qin Wangzheng is not just crowned as a pro-government, but directly in power.
However, although Lu Buwei is greedy for power, he is only a courtier after all. At this time, there is nothing wrong with it, so he can only acquiesce in Zhao Ji's behavior.
This scene fell in the eyes of the officials in the court, but it was already another matter.
