When Li Mu came back, he saw his own men and many uninvited Meng Ao's men gathered in a group. There were about five or six hundred people. The rest were missing. They must have gone out to look for flowers. Ying Zheng

Today, he said in front of everyone that he should be kind to the Zhao people, so Li Mu was not worried. He looked at these many people, their faces were shiny with food, their clothes were half-undressed, and they were enthusiastically inviting people to drink and eat. They were not as dazed as when they entered the city before.

With Lost, a large open space had been cleared in the large and clean courtyard. A bonfire was lit in the middle, and a roasted sheep was placed on it. It had been cut into pieces, and many people had their mouths full of oil.

, still shouting to eat and drink more, when someone saw Li Mu coming back, they quickly shouted happily: "The general is back!"

Suddenly, the people who were originally gathered around the bonfire surrounded Li Mu. I don’t know who put a leg of lamb into Li Mu’s hand, and said enthusiastically: "General, why don't you come and have a drink?"

!" Li Mu has always been close to all the soldiers, and there is no strict distinction between superiority and inferiority. Everyone respects him and loves him extremely, so now someone dares to invite Li Mu to drink and eat meat with him. But Li Mu is laughing and laughing.

, and stuffed the leg of lamb back into the man's hand. After everyone had tidied up, Meng Ao's men were obviously smart. In order to avoid suspicion, they sat in a pile by themselves, leaving only hundreds of people under Li Mu to surround them.

When he came up, Li Mu was grateful to the people of Qin for their consideration, but he did not avoid everyone. He was now considered a member of the Qin State, so he naturally did not need to make any factional distinctions to make people feel uncomfortable. Therefore, he said in public: "Your Majesty, Ce is Wu'an."

Lord, and seal Handan as a certain fiefdom!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone paused, followed by a burst of earth-shattering cheers. Today's rewards are mainly for a few generals, but the rest of the officers and soldiers below the rank of officials and above the five hundred camp commanders will have to wait until tomorrow

ri Ying Zheng announced the reward order only after he ordered the troops in person. As soon as Li Mu said these words, not only the Zhao people were happy, but also the Qin people were happy. Although fighting to the death was for the sake of the king and to unify the world, many small soldiers were still

I hope that I can earn a military merit and a title, and that I can take care of my family, wife and children. Now that I see the future in sight, I am naturally happy. Needless to say, Li Mu’s soldiers, both from Zhao and Qin, were all overjoyed, and the atmosphere was even more obvious.

Harmony.

On the second day of Ying Zheng's reward to the three armies, the Qin Kingdom was naturally filled with joy. No matter the soldiers or ordinary people, everyone had a smile on their face. But among the joy, only Lu Buwei's house was full of joy.

He was so gloomy that no one could laugh. At this moment, Lu Buwei was still thinking about the incident of Lao Ai not showing any face to him in front of everyone. Every time he thought of it, he couldn't help but grit his teeth. Some of the counselors knew Lu Buwei's intentions very well.

Therefore, he proposed to get rid of Lao Ai. Unfortunately, Lao Ai is not the scoundrel of the past, who can be rounded and kneaded by him. Today, Lao Ai is not only Zhao Ji's guest, but also the elder named by Ying Zheng himself.

Xinhou is a real noble nobleman of the King of Qin, a person who is almost on an equal footing with Lu Buwei.

However, the more he knew this, the more Lu Buwei couldn't tolerate Lao Ai in his heart, so he secretly summoned Li Si and others to discuss a plan and vowed to get rid of Lao Ai.

Li Si knew that Lao Ai had become a close friend of Lu Buwei's heart. The chess piece that Ying Zheng had buried in the past was now officially functioning. This time Lao Ai's appointment as a marquis added a lot of pressure to Lu Buwei's heart. No wonder he wanted to jump over the wall. He

He was thinking in his heart, but his face remained silent. After all, he had his reasons for Lao Ai entering the house in the first place. Now, once Lao Ai becomes a thorn in Lu Buwei's side, no one will care how much Lu Buwei wanted to kill Zhao Ji.

If he throws it away as a burden, he will only hate him for leading a tiger into the door. If he speaks rashly at this time, it will inevitably draw fire to him, so Li Si pretends to be deaf and dumb. Even though Lu Buwei is dissatisfied, he also knows his scruples. It is undeniable

Yes, Li Si's way of revealing himself made Lu Buwei, who was originally doubtful, feel much more at ease.

"Everyone, Lao Ai is now very powerful, and is slightly overpowering me. I wonder if you have any good ideas?" Lu Buwei was really anxious at this time. He was greedy for power, and even the rightful master like Ying Zheng was unwilling to return the power.

, not to mention the little fake waiter Lao Ai, when he thought that Lao Ai could now be equal to him, he felt like a cat scratching his heart. When Lu Buwei spoke, everyone saw how anxious he looked, and many people secretly

Frowning, Li Si hesitated for a moment and sighed, with a look of self-blame on his face.

"Huh!" Lu Buwei couldn't help but feel furious when he saw the expressions of everyone. He snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves and left. He also knew that Lao Ai's current power was closely related to Zhao Ji, so he thought

He wanted to lead Lao Ai in right away, but it was a little too hasty. The person who tied the bell had to be tied to untie the bell. Lu Buwei knew that this happened to Zhao Ji. If he could coax her to change her mind, Lao Ai would not be able to do it.

After finding a backer, he naturally let him round and flatten him. Thinking of this, Lu Buwei decided to meet Zhao Ji right now.

In his impression, Zhao Ji was extremely weak and easy to control, but Lu Buwei never expected that when he took the time to come to Yonggong and his party, not only did he not see Zhao Ji, but even after the report, even the people around Zhao Ji

None of the waiters saw it. But in Yong Palace, when Lao Ai learned that Lu Buwei asked to see Zhao Ji, he felt very proud. Zhao Ji was pinched to death by him. He didn't say anything, so naturally he would not meet Lu Buwei, but

However, Lao Ai thought of the scene when she was in the Lu family's house, and wanted to humiliate Lu Buwei, so she brought her old friends and others to the gate of Yong Palace. When she saw Lu Buwei being stopped by the attendants, her face was filled with shame and annoyance.

, couldn't help laughing, and said hypocritically: "Brother Lu, are you okay? If I had known that Brother Lu was coming, I would have ordered someone to prepare a small amount of wine so that I could drink with him!"

This was the first time the two of them saw each other again after they broke up on bad terms in Zhangtai Palace that day. When Lu Buwei heard that Lao Ai actually called him brothers, murderous intent arose in his heart. A yinyin smile appeared on his face, and he shook his head.

He touched his sleeves and said loudly: "I am following the order of the king to take the Queen Mother Zhao back to the palace to raise her. I wonder if Chang Xinhou has any objections?" Hearing his pretentiousness, Lao Ai couldn't help but get furious.

But he smiled even more cheerfully: "I'm afraid it's too much for Mr. Lu to falsely convey the king's order like this. If the king learns about it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to forgive Mr. Lu's crime. If not Mr. Lu goes back here, I will pretend that this did not happen."

,how?"

Lao Ai is good at observing words and trying to please others. When Lu Buwei contradicted Ying Zheng in front of everyone, he could tell that Ying Zheng had been patient with this person for a long time. Even if he offended Lu Buwei, he would not really get reprimanded by Ying Zheng.

, On the contrary, it might be able to please him, so seeing Lu Buwei's angry face, he smiled even more: "Although Mr. Lu is noble now, he must be careful in the future, so as not to weaken the love that the king has left for you.

When the time comes, even if my brother is grateful for Lu Gong's kindness in the past, he will not be able to plead for Lu Gong!" The sarcasm in Lao Ai's words was heard very clearly by the people present, and some scoundrels around him became interested when they heard Lao Ai's intention.

The pun made the whole room burst into laughter, and Lu Buwei's heart became even more angry.

Seeing Lu Buwei's face flushed with anger, Lao Ai felt greatly relieved and deliberately said: "Lv Gong, now I have ordered the Queen Mother to prepare some drinks. Lu Gong was also a benefactor of a certain person in the past, so why don't you move on?

How about we go to Yong Palace together and have some wine and meat?"

His proud look was mixed with domineering. Zhao Ji did not have time to see Lu Buwei, but she had time to be ordered by Lao Ai to prepare wine and meat. At that moment, Lu Buwei was so angry that his face was so dark that he could drip ink, and he glanced at Lao Ai with a cold look.

, and then he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "No need!" After saying that, Hei Hei had a sullen face, without even saying hello, and turned around and left. The entourage around him looked at Lu Buwei's face, how could he dare?

Duoliu quickly followed him. Lao Ai laughed arrogantly, and Sun Jie and others beside him shouted loudly: "Lv Gong, stay here, drink this glass of water and wine before leaving! Hahaha!" Lu Buwei walked faster.

, behind me I could hear people laughing even more wildly, and their faces became even more ugly.

When he returned to the mansion, Lu Buwei couldn't bear it any longer, and summoned all the counselors over again, insisting on removing Lao Ai to relieve his hatred. Li Si saw that his face was so angry that he was about to lose his mind, and he quickly said: "My lord, my lord."

, this matter can be regarded as arising from Tong You, Tong You does have a plan, but I don’t know..."

"But it doesn't matter!" When Lu Buwei heard about Li Si's plan, he was overjoyed. Although he was still worried about Li Si's original suggestion to use Lao Ai, which would cause trouble in the future, Lao Ai was like a thorn in his side.

There was a thorn in his heart that he couldn't get rid of quickly, so he heard that Li Si had a plan and quickly let him speak out. Li Si hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Lu Buwei was really anxious, he sighed and said a little apologetically: "

My lord, in fact, that Lao Ai is just a scoundrel in the market. If he had not achieved great achievements now and was personally granted the title by the king, he would not be afraid of it. But now that he has the merit of getting rid of the dragon, he would not be granted the title by chance.

I have been waiting for a long time, but I can't compare with my lord. This person is from a humble background, and once he gets his ambition, he will become rampant. You have supported me in the past, and you have been kind to the previous king. How can this person, Lao Ai, compete with you?

"

Lu Buwei was overjoyed and convinced by these words. A rare smile appeared on his face, and he motioned for Li Si to continue.

"In Tongyou's humble opinion, Lao Ai has a shallow foundation and is arrogant. It is better to raise him for a while. If you take him first, you must give him first!" Li Si stroked the beard on his chin and looked at it.

Lu Buwei said this. Lu Buwei was not stupid at all. He immediately understood Li Si's plan and his eyes lit up: "The purpose of Tongyou is to ask someone to help his ambition first and then kill him?"

"However, if Lao Ai is domineering, killing him will be justifiable. If not, even for the king's sake, if the lord touches Lao Ai, the world's population will fall, which will be very bad!" Li Si pointed out!

He nodded and saw that some of the counselors had narrowed their eyes, obviously realizing something, and couldn't help but sneer. In some aspects, Lao Ai's situation is very similar to Lu Buwei's, both were used by Ying Zheng in the same way.

If you keep him alive and then kill him quickly, you won't be criticized by the world. Some counselors have realized this. However, Lu Buwei's current behavior is as domineering as Lao Ai. I'm afraid he won't listen to such advice. On the contrary, if someone

If he spoke at this time, he would be judged as having bad intentions by the angry man. It was because of this that Li Si dared to speak out, knowing that there were tigers in the mountains, but preferring to go to the tiger mountains.

Everyone was silent for a while, and no one said anything about Lu Buwei's crisis. However, after this incident, many people were recalcitrant. However, it is not easy to find a wise master in the world. Looking at the world now, although it is divided into seven, but

At this time, the State of Zhao existed in name only. Even if the other countries joined forces to fight against each other, they were really no match for the State of Qin. If they wanted to express their ambitions, they could only get ahead in the State of Qin. Because of this, everyone felt hesitant.

It’s just that Lu Buwei now sees that he is not a wise master. Although this person is talented, he is really narrow-minded. Lao Ai is just a small person, and he is worthy of his efforts to deal with it. He regards Lao Ai as an opponent, which proves that Lu Buwei at this time

They were only at the same level as Lao Ai. This idea made many knowledgeable people feel uncomfortable, but they were reluctant to leave rashly. However, they were even more disappointed with Lu Buwei in their hearts. Many people began to secretly choose another Ming master, and Lu Buwei

But he was so focused on dealing with Lao Ai that he didn't notice it.

In the seventh year of Yingzheng's reign, Queen Mother Xia Ji'en was worried about the rebellion of Chang'an Jun Chengyu. She was deeply worried. She was ill for a long time and lingered on her bed. Yingzheng calculated that at this time, one of the three political parties in the country was already full, and Queen Mother Xia would take over again.

As a result, Xia Ji's condition became more serious and she died before autumn. Ying Zheng was deeply saddened, but ordered the Queen Mother of Xia to be buried alone in Dudong instead of being buried with King Xiaowen.

At this time, Mrs. Chu Ji of Huayang heard that when Xia Ji died, this charming woman was stunned for a while, and then she suddenly laughed. She had been fighting with Xia Ji for all these years, and she recognized her since she returned from Chu.

Xia Ji has always regarded her as her enemy since she became a mother, but unexpectedly, she died at the hands of her own grandson. After many calculations, she not only lost Cheng Qiao, but also her own life.

It was really ridiculous that he did not get the good news, but ended up with the extremely bleak ending now. Mr. Changping disguised himself and went to the palace to meet her, but he saw that she was smiling at the death of Queen Mother Xia, and he felt a little dissatisfied at the moment.

, the voice was slightly raised: "Queen Mother! Now that the Queen Mother Xia has passed away, it is a good time for you to make a difference. Now I and everyone are willing to listen to the Queen Mother's instructions and return to the glory of the past!"

"Aqi is really too eager! Your Majesty has now buried Xia Ji in Dudong. Does Aqi know what he means?" Chu Ji was very charming. She stretched out her jade hand to brush her long hair, with a smile in her eyes, which made her

The originally soft appearance was even more like water, containing tenderness. However, Lord Changping knew that this woman was ruthless, and if he underestimated her because of her appearance, he would definitely suffer a big loss. So he only glanced at her and quickly lowered his head.
