Volume 7 Chapter 53 Pretending to be confused
Qin State, Zhangtai Palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Standing in the center of the hall, Lu Buwei greeted the eyes from all around. Ying Zheng sat in a high position, drooping his head, drowsy, and without saying a word. As if it had nothing to do with him, you can wake him up when you have had enough noise.
The content of today's court discussion is the implementation of the eviction order, and the things that were originally discussed were discussed by Lü Buwei's "Lü's Spring and Autumn", and I couldn't understand the situation. Ordinary ministers can quarrel with each other, but when they encounter figures at the level of Lü Buwei and Changpingjun, they all die down.
They saw very clearly that Lu Buwei and Changpingjun were bound to have a big quarrel, and if they didn't quarrel and produce a result, whoever got involved would inevitably offend one of them.
This contradiction can no longer be reconciled, Changping Jun and Shang Gong want to drive out customers, which one in Xianyang has the most customers? Only Lu Mansion. Taking advantage of Lu Buwei's absence, after playing such a hand, the Prime Minister will definitely not be angry.
As expected, people don't talk nonsense with you, and directly take action to launch "Lu's Spring and Autumn". This book is written by the guests of Lufu, a huge work integrating the thoughts of all families, how many literati to find faults, stunned that they failed to change a word, and it is worthy of being called a good book of "a word of gold".
As soon as this book was launched, it was necessary to discuss the eviction of customers, and the matter of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge was too ugly, and of course Lü Buwei would oppose it. If he didn't object, he was embarrassed to go back to Lu Mansion to see those people, and this stuffy stick was beaten down, which made Lu Buwei almost go crazy.
If the eviction order continues, who will dare to walk with him Lu Buwei in the future? So he stood in front of the officials and made a silent protest. has been a prime minister for a long time, and his own power is very heavy, and ordinary ministers are not qualified to argue with him at all.
Those generals, like Yingzheng, closed their eyes and didn't look at anyone, and they also pretended to be asleep. No matter which side wins the quarrel, it has nothing to do with them, whoever wants to participate in it will either offend Lu Xiang or Changping Jun, and neither of them will be offended.
Changping Jun and Shang Gong glanced at each other, the person who came was not good, and Lu Buwei wanted to oppose it. The eviction order was their idea, and if it was rejected today, the order would be changed and their power would be lost.
Taking a step, Changping Jun said: "What is this Lu Xiang? If there is any movement, you can put it forward in person, and everyone will discuss it together. Today's discussion is about the implementation of the eviction order, urging Ganquan Palace to seal it as soon as possible, who should be sent over to talk to the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji. ”
Changping Jun and Shang Gong were also very anxious, from Ganquan Palace to Xianyang, it only took one day and one night, and the edict stamped with the seal should have arrived last night. But for some reason, the queen mother delayed issuing the edict and deliberately delayed it.
The subordinates sent to Ganquan Palace all said that they were not strong enough to enter the city gate at all, let alone enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother. At this time, everyone understood that Zhao Ji was showing her power and cheering for Yingzheng. If you bully her son one by one, she will deliberately make things difficult for you, and if you want to use the jade seal, you will send powerful people to meet her.
The situation in Xianyang still needs to be stabilized, they can't leave at all, and they are ready to discuss who to send today. At this juncture, Lu Buwei jumped out, and it was too timely. They all knew that there might be a shadow of a certain queen mother behind her, otherwise Lu Buwei's movements would not have been so fast.
Even if you want to quarrel, you don't say a word, and there is a silent protest. Lü Buwei is the prime minister of Great Qin, and Changping Jun is only the prime minister of Zuo, and his position is a little lower than Lü Buwei. Just such a little bit is very revealing, as long as Lu Buwei does not nod his head and agrees on something, it will not be able to be implemented.
They also wanted Ying Zheng to take the initiative to speak, but Ying Zheng was drowsy and obviously didn't plan to participate.
Lu Buwei was angry in his heart, Ying Zheng pretended to be confused, and he definitely couldn't speak. In other words, he has to face the attacks of these colleagues independently, and he doesn't know if anyone will help. You still have to rely on yourself, these old guys in the upper court, one is more sleek than the other, all of them are like ghosts, it seems that they want to bring Li Si, Gan Luo and others up as soon as possible.
Those people have studied in Lu Mansion for many years, after all, they are students who have taught themselves. If he encounters today's situation, he will definitely take the initiative to stand up and talk to Changpingjun and block the rain of bullets for himself. It's a pity that no, now he can only face it independently, and he has to guard against the cold arrows of the old fox of Shang Gong.
Lü Buwei said: "I have sent my cronies to Ganquan Palace to explain the benefits and disadvantages to the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji in person, and the edict of expulsion cannot be issued because I oppose it." Even if Changpingjun goes to meet the Queen Mother in person, do you think she believes in you or believes in me Lu Buwei? Therefore, the matter of the eviction order does not need to be discussed, it is impossible. ”
When this sentence was said, the whole dynasty was in an uproar, it turned out that you had already taken action, and before the edict entered Xianyang, you had a conversation with the queen mother. No wonder the edict has not arrived for a long time, so it is useless to send other people, unless King Yingzheng of Qin personally sends an order, the queen mother will not listen.
Changping Jun was so angry that he said angrily on the spot: "Lord Lu Xiang, do you still look like you are the prime minister of the court?" The colleagues discussed the matter, and the king also nodded, if you don't discuss it with us, you will secretly prevent the queen mother from issuing an edict, and you will not even go through the formal procedures, which is really not in accordance with the rules. ”
Lu Buwei didn't say a word, Changping Jun could only salute Yingzheng, and said: "Please ask the king to call the shots, and you also nodded about the eviction order." ”
Ying Zheng pretended to rub his eyes, looked at Changping Jun innocently, and said, "Have you discussed?" So is it possible to retreat? ”
The man held his breath, Changping Jun also shivered, and he woke up and didn't hear anything. Changping Jun could only say again: "In the previous court meeting, the people who were agreed to expel the people of the countries were asked to let the queen mother stamp the seal." ”
Ying Zheng said innocently: "I have already passed this order to my mother, has the edict not yet arrived?" Then wait a few days and it will be there. ”
Changping Jun shook his head and said, "I can't wait, because Lu Xiang sent someone to intercept the edict last night." ”
Ying Zheng asked, "Father Zhong intercepted?" Why is that? ”
Changping Jun said: "Because he is against it." ”
Ying Zheng smiled bitterly: "One of you is in favor and one is against, who should I listen to?" Anyway, all the ministers are here, so let's discuss it again, and after the discussion, just tell me the result. ”
Shang Gong frowned and said, "Please give the king a direct order, only you can decide this matter." ”
Ying Zheng waved his hand and shook his head: "It's not proper, I'm still young, I haven't been in charge yet, and I don't have the power to judge right and wrong." Father Zhong and Changping Jun are both my Great Qin Dongliang, your opinions are very important, you must discuss this matter to a unified opinion, otherwise I will not dare to speak to my mother, lest I be scolded by her old man. ”
The ministers gasped, the king was telling the truth, but such a big truth, how could it sound so awkward. If you don't intervene, this contradiction will not be reconciled, and Lü Buwei and Changpingjun will have to quarrel.
Changping Jun also saw that Ying Zheng was unwilling to interfere, so he could only quarrel.
He said to Lü Buwei: "Why do you oppose it? ”
Lü Buwei said: "Because the expulsion of guests is harmful to Great Qin, I must oppose it. As we all know, in history, the most outstanding figures of Great Qin were all born in other countries. If the expulsion order continues, the talents of other countries will be used by other countries, and in the end, it will definitely threaten our Great Qin. ”
"Take the "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" written by the doorman of my house as an example, there is a clear concept of governing the country in it, and all walks of life can learn it. If this writing is incorrect, please pick out the disease, and I will burn it immediately, so as not to laugh at it. Most of the people who wrote books were not Qin people, and since they were good books, then the people who wrote books could be regarded as talented people. ”
Everyone nodded secretly, and the people who participated in writing the book were indeed talented. Where can ordinary people write an article that can't change a single word? Many people have read that book, and some of the content in it is similar to what they think, and they really can't find anything wrong with it.
Changping Jun was also speechless, let him lead the troops to fight, it can be said that he is a good hand, but it is really difficult to find fault with the article. Answering questions with books, Changpingjun really can't refute it, and he doesn't know how to refute it.
Shang Gong said: "The biggest problem with this book is the title. Gathering the works written by so many people, why didn't Lu Xiang report it to the king? "Lü's Spring and Autumn", who gave you the courage to use Lü's? It should be called Ying's Spring and Autumn Period. ”
Everyone nodded, Changping Jun's eyes lit up, the old fox is the old fox, this can find out the problem, it depends on how Lu Buwei answers. He couldn't avoid this problem.
Lu Buwei was very bitter in his heart, this name was taken by Yingzheng, and it was not his idea at all. For this question, everyone in the Lu Mansion thought about it all night before they came up with a good wording, otherwise it would be very difficult to pass today.
Lü Buwei said: "The name of the book is not about the name, but about the content. A native of Honshuru, he wrote the Analects; A native of Chu in Miyuan, he wrote "Lisao"; And in this book, there are so many people involved that it is impossible to name it by surname. Gathering everyone's thoughts, this book was written in the Lu Mansion, so it can only be used "Lü's Spring and Autumn". ”
"This name represents the place where the book was written, not me, Lu Buwei himself. They are all guests of the Lu Mansion, and they have no official position, how can they be named after the Ying family? That's a great disrespect to the royal family. And as soon as the book was finished, when I heard about the expulsion of guests, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to stay in the Qin State for a long time, so I was in a hurry to carry it out. ”
Everyone suddenly realized that this was the case, and the people of the nations were terrified, so naturally they didn't think much about it, which is understandable. They are not members of the royal family, Lü Buwei is just a representative of this book, everyone is leaving, why should they use the surname of the royal family to name it?
Since ancient times, literati have a sense of arrogance in their bones, and the book was written by them, and how to name it is naturally up to them. Even if Lu Buwei is the prime minister of Qin, he can't stop it, after all, there are so many people who write books, and most of them may have to leave Qin, and you are not qualified to say anything.
Maybe after leaving the Qin State, he will enter the court as an official in other countries, and when the time comes, each will be his master, so naturally this book will not have anything to do with the Qin royal family. What's more, naming the Spring and Autumn Period of the Ying family, Lu Buwei did not dare to report to the royal family without ventilating in advance.
At the end of the day, the eviction order came so quickly that many people were caught off guard. No wonder the city gate will be made public with such fanfare, and there may be plans to leave immediately after the catharsis. In such a situation, where did Lü Buwei have time to think about the title of the book.
Ying Zheng listened to it secretly, such reasons can be made up, there are really many talented people in the Lu Mansion. Just Lu Buwei himself, in such a short period of time, came up with a countermeasure, absolutely impossible.
