Chapter 147 Granting Land and Becoming a King

Qin Palace.

The scorching sun was rising high, but saliva was splashing everywhere in the palace, and the courtiers were quarreling over a position.

Meng Ao's death was undoubtedly a huge shock to the Qin court. Correspondingly, the forces have been reshuffled, and several important positions have become objects that all forces must strive for.

Above the court, the Chengyu family, the Changpingjun family, the Lu Buwei family, and the Zhao Ji family represented by Lao Ai, their respective courtiers were criticizing each other. Faintly, above the Qin State's court, It has become a mess.

However, Lu Buwei stood at the head of the group of ministers, and only Cheng Yu stood side by side with him. From beginning to end, he never said a word.

Likewise, there is King Qin on the throne.

When the debate came to an end and all parties had decided on several candidates, King Qin looked at Lu Buwei.

"What do you think, Xiangbang?"

"I believe that among these people, only Fan Yuqi, recommended by Lord Changping, is worthy of this post and should be the general in charge of Lantian Camp."

Changping Jun was shocked. What happened to Lu Buwei? He actually took the initiative to make Fan Yuqi a general instead of sending his own troops?

"In this way, Guo Si recommended by the Queen Mother will be the internal history, Fan Yuqi recommended by Changping Jun will be the chief general of Lantian, and Han Cong recommended by Cheng Xi will be the central official."

Everyone was a little surprised at why Lu Buwei was so humble today and didn't even fight for a single position.

But what surprised them even more was when King Qin on the throne announced the new personnel changes. Lu Buwei stood up from the train again, cupped his hands and spoke.

"Your Majesty, I have recently inspected the civil affairs of various places. When Bai Qi attacked Chu, a large number of clans participated in it and made great contributions to our Qin Dynasty. Although Bai Qi was guilty, their achievements should not be buried. Later. For decades, they managed the mediocre land, appeased the people's grievances, and opened up the land, and they have made great contributions."

"What does Xiangbang mean?"

"I think we should reward the descendants of these meritorious officials to show the king's holy virtue and to show our great Qin's grace and power."

The ministers were wondering, how could Lu Buwei dig out the old memories in these nooks and crannies, and what on earth did he want to do?

King Qin on the throne smiled and asked.

"Who does the Prime Minister think should be the leader of the descendants of these heroes?"

"We should take Zhao Shuang, the son-in-law of Lord Changping, as the leader, and grant the land and title of Lord."

When Lu Buwei said this, all the ministers were horrified, and even Lord Changping himself was stunned.

But then, Lord Changping noticed the look from Cheng Xi's side, which was filled with deep defensiveness and a hint of anger.

Becoming a king means that you can bypass the Qin Dynasty's 20th-level military merit title system and directly grant land. This is a privilege that only a few core clans can enjoy.

But what is even more surprising is that this was proposed by Lu Buwei and given to Lord Changping's son-in-law. In addition, before, Lu Buwei agreed to Fan Yuqi, the general recommended by Lord Changping.

For a moment, everyone was wondering whether Lu Buwei and Chang Pingjun had formed some secret agreement or formed an alliance. However, everyone ignored the name Zhao Shuang for the first time.

"Then let Xian Da Zongzheng and the others discuss a title ban!"

Finally, King Qin made the final decision.

After the court, Lord Changping ignored all the mutterings and went directly to Huayang Palace.

"What are you in such a hurry for?"

Queen Mother Huayang teased the bird in the cage, looking calm and relaxed.

"The Ai family has already heard about what happened at the court meeting."

"What exactly does Lu Buwei want to do?"

Lord Changping couldn't understand Lu Buwei's intention at all. He only knew that in the court just now, Cheng Yu looked at him with eyes as sharp as a knife, as if he could kill someone.

"Lu Buwei's trick is great! Killing two birds with one stone has made the water in the Qin court even more muddy."

Lord Changping saw Empress Dowager Huayang smile slowly and turn around.

"First, he alienated the relationship between you and Cheng Xi; second, you are the son of the Chu State, and it doesn't matter if you make yourself a king; if your son-in-law makes you a king, you will definitely be hated even more; third, Zhao Shuang originally wanted to hide In Yongdi, we waited for the moment when the chaotic situation in Xianyang settled down before entering the game. But Lu Buwei's move directly brought him into everyone's sight, and Zhao Shuang couldn't hide even if he wanted to."

The smile on Queen Mother Huayang's face did not fade. With the support of Lord Changping, she slowly walked to another birdcage.

"The Ai family helped Lao Ai rebuild the Taiyuan Army in order to deepen the rift between them. But Lu Buwei's backhand move put us in an even more embarrassing position. What's more important is that Zhao Shuang, the young emperor, may not be the same as the young emperor. You are of one mind. But once he steps into the whirlpool of power in Xianyang and makes a mistake, everyone will blame you."

After hearing what the Queen Mother Huayang said, Lord Changping broke into a cold sweat and understood Lu Buwei's sinister intentions.

"From the beginning to the end, Lu Buwei didn't give anything. He just gave Zhao Shuang what he originally had. But you are different. You are suddenly in the whirlpool."

"The King and Queen Mother, what should I do? How should I explain to Cheng Yu?"

"Even if you explain it, will others believe it?" Queen Mother Huayang patted Mr. Changping's somewhat stiff shoulder, "You'd better thank the guests behind closed doors and wait and see what happens!"

"but I?"

"How this matter develops in the end does not depend on you, but on Zhao Shuang."

Zilanxuan.

Wei Zhuang broke into the door and looked very unhappy.

Seeing him like this, Zi Nu was busy trying to please him with a smile.

Wei Zhuang glanced at Zi Nu, who was sitting behind the desk, and saw her holding a wine flask and pouring Wei Zhuang a glass of wine.

"You know everything?"

Zi Nu thought: The whole Xianyang knows now, how could I not know?

"I actually wanted to tell you at the beginning, but this guy Zhao Shuang insisted that it would be interesting, so he asked me not to tell you."

Zi Nu's face was full of smiles. Zhao Shuang is not here now anyway, why didn't he say it?

Wei Zhuang took a sip of wine with a sullen face, while Zi Nu beside him was only busy adding wine and did not dare to speak.

"Don't be happy too soon."

Wei Zhuang glanced at Zi Nu and warned.

"Zhao Shuang played a trick on Lu Buwei and offended him severely. Zhao Shuang thought that he would just leave Xianyang, a place of right and wrong, and hide in a commonplace, so Lu Buwei could not do anything to him."

Zi Nu's face became serious, and the action of pouring wine in her hand stopped in mid-air.

"It's a pity that Lu Buwei is more skilled. Zhao Shuang will be unable to hide even if he wants to. He will return to Xianyang and serve in the court."

Wei Zhuang took a sip of wine, stood up, and left a message.

"Go and tell Zhao Shuang that the net is already being prepared. He is not easy to be the Lord of Hanyang."

In the dark room, the Frightened Salamander stood in the center.

Several assassins wearing red Shura masks stood in front of her.

"Lord Jing Salamander, Hanyang Lord Zhao Shuang is your next prey."

With cold words ringing in his ears, Jing Salamander drew out the long sword in his hand, a wave of emotion rising in his eyes.

"It seems it's time to end!"
