Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 50: Killing Lu Buwei with a borrowed knife?
"possible."

Xu Lin answered.

Zhao Gao looked puzzled.

Didn’t the strategists say that if one is angry, the princes will be afraid, and if one is at peace, the world will be at peace?
If the world is unified, what use will the art of diplomacy be?
"The situation of Qin is now set, and it cannot be changed by strategists."

"As far as I know, this generation of Guigu's descendants is not good at the art of diplomacy, but is more skilled in swordsmanship. Is this true?"

Xu Lin asked seriously.

When he watched the anime "The Legend of Qin" in later life, he couldn't understand at first why Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang were more focused on swordsmanship rather than the art of diplomacy, which was completely different from the previous descendants of Guiguzi such as Su Qin and Zhang Yi.

After watching it for the second time, he understood it.

After the Battle of Changping, the Qin State had already become dominant. What was the point of Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang focusing on the art of diplomacy?
Perhaps this is why Gai Nie entered Qin.

"That's true."

"Sir, you really see through things!"

"Sir, your words have opened my eyes like the sun, and my mind has been enlightened!"

Zhao Gao was stunned when he heard this, and then he flattered her.

He has formed a habit of flattery, so he flatters others subconsciously.

"A ruler is long, an inch is short."

"As far as I know, Eunuch Zhao has good calligraphy."

"Since you wanted to win the king's favor, why didn't you volunteer to print the book?"

Xu Lin took a sip of tea and asked.

Zhao Gao has been performing well recently, so he can give Zhao Gao some pointers.

In Xu Lin's opinion, to put it nicely, Zhao Gao is a sword in Ying Zheng's hand, to put it bluntly, Zhao Gao is a dog under Ying Zheng. If he is obedient, he will be used, and if he is disobedient, he will be killed.

"What you said is absolutely true!"

"I was thinking at the time... well, it's all in the past now, so I won't talk about it anymore."

"If there's another chance in the future, I'll definitely fight for it!"

"I will never forget the kindness you gave me today, sir!"

"Sir, please go to bed early."

Zhao Gao nodded and said immediately.

After saying this, he bowed and left.

After Zhao Gao walked away, Xu Lin looked towards the direction of South Korea.

Zhao Gao has performed well recently. After dealing with the matters of Jing Niu and Lu Buwei, he can enter Han and meet Zi Nu, Ming Zhu and others.

He felt a little bored of staying in Qin all the time.

In his later life, Xu Lin was not a homebody. He would feel uncomfortable if he didn't go out to travel for half a year.

Same now!
After more than ten breaths, Xu Lin couldn't help yawning and turned his gaze to Jingwei's bedroom.

He and Jingwei have sparred many times, why hasn't Jingwei been honest with him?

Afraid of Lu Buwei?

Don't stop! Don't stop!
Although Lu Buwei had his salary fined some time ago, he was still the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty and the master of Luowang.

Luowang has very strict rules. According to Li Wu, becoming a top-ranking official in Luowang is just like becoming a general in the Qin State. It can be said that one general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers.

Jing Niu is just a woman, but to be able to become the top-ranking member of Luowang, she must have suffered a lot.

Thinking of this, Xu Lin decided to be gentler to Jingwei in the future.

Then he looked towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As long as that old villain Lu Buwei is not killed, he will always be a trouble.

How to get rid of that old villain Lu Buwei?
After a brief pause, Xu Lin shook his head and decided to think about it tomorrow. He was very sleepy now and just wanted to have a good sleep with Li Wu's long legs as his pillow.

……

The next day.

After lunch, Xu Lin did not take a nap, but called Li Ji and Li Wu to the study.

After confirming that Jingwei had fallen asleep, Xu Lin told Li Ji and Li Wu about his plan to get rid of Lu Buwei and asked them to help with advice.

We all work together.

"There is no turning back when the bow is drawn."

"Have you thought it through, sir?"

After listening, Li Ji asked seriously.

Although Lu Buwei was not like Lu Liang who bullied men and women all day long, he was not a good person either.

Countless honest officials in the Qin State died mysteriously because of their disagreements with Lu Buwei.

"Since there will be a battle sooner or later, it's better to fight sooner rather than later."

"The sooner the battle ends, the sooner it ends."

Xu Lin nodded.

Upon hearing this, Li Ji, dressed in a light blue silk dress, stood up suddenly and pointed towards Huayang Palace. Her high ponytail and slender waist, with a curvaceous figure, made Xu Lin's heart flutter.

Seeing this, the tall Li Ji coughed twice.

Xu Lin smiled awkwardly when he heard that, looked in the direction of Li Ji's finger, and let Li Ji continue.

It’s not that he lacks self-control, but Li Ji’s outfit today is so beautiful!
"gentlemen."

"As far as I know, Huayang Palace and Lu Buwei have always been at odds."

"Chang'an Jun Chengjiao was raised by the Queen Mother Huayang, but died because of Lü Buwei."

"Would the Queen Mother Huayang not want to avenge Chang'an Jun Chengjiao?"

"Therefore, we can kill with a borrowed knife!"

Li Ji suggested seriously.

Then he placed his hand on the sword at his waist.

If Xu Lin looks around again, she will draw her sword!
She was talking about serious matters with Xu Lin!

"Huayang Palace can indeed lend a hand."

After listening, Xu Lin nodded thoughtfully.

After saying this, he picked up the tea bowl and took a big sip of the cold tea.

"gentlemen."

"I think Ganquan Palace can also be used."

Li Wu said with a charming smile.

"Oh?"

“How to use it?”

Xu Lin frowned slightly and asked.

Although Zhao Ji was the queen mother, she was ultimately a weak woman, and it was difficult to use her to deal with Lu Buwei.

"As far as I know, the Lüshi Chunqiu written by Lü Buwei's retainers is, to put it nicely, a fusion of the strengths of various schools of thought. To put it bluntly, it's academic plagiarism!"

"If the Confucianists and Mohists knew the contents of Lüshi Chunqiu, they would definitely not let Lü Buwei off!"

"Sir, perhaps you can use the Queen Mother Zhao of Ganquan Palace to make the contents of Lüshi Chunqiu public, and then make Lü Buwei the target of public criticism!"

Li Wu is enchanting and moving.

"Have you read Lüshi Chunqiu?"

Xu Lin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked immediately.

"I've seen part of it."

"When I was ordered to approach you, sir, the Lüshi Chunqiu was basically completed."

Li Wu nodded.

She had thought about telling Xu Lin about 'using the various schools of thought to attack Lu Buwei' before, but this matter was too serious to rely solely on the various schools of thought, such as the School of Names, the School of Agriculture, and the School of Legalism. Would they become enemies with the powerful Lu Buwei?
Confucianism, Mohism and Taoism were the prominent schools of thought at the time, and most people were not afraid of Lü Buwei. However, Lü Buwei was not only the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, but also the leader of Luowang.

Therefore, using the hands of various schools of thought to deal with Lu Buwei can only be icing on the cake, rather than providing timely assistance!

But sometimes all it takes is one straw to break the camel's back.

"it is good!"

Xu Lin's brows raised with joy when he heard this.

Then we took a car to Ganquan Palace.

After learning that Xu Lin wanted to see her, Zhao Ji, who was wearing a red dress, was delighted.

Then he pulled the bed curtain and asked Hongzao to bring Xu Lin in.

If Xu Lin didn't come again, she would not be able to help but ask Hongzao to find Xu Lin.

"Humph!"

"Still want to fight me?"

Zhao Ji puffed out her chest and said with a look of pride that could not be concealed.

The reason why she likes lying on her side is that if she sits, her chest will be too heavy and feel droopy.

Zhao Ji is different from Li Ji, Jing Niu and Li Wu. Zhao Ji does not know martial arts. When she was young in Handan, Zhao State, she was not well fed and clothed, so she was not that old yet.

After entering Qin, especially after Ying Yiren's death, Zhao Ji's figure became increasingly plump.

Recently, Zhao Ji doesn't even want to lie down because it makes it difficult for her to breathe.

Soon, Xu Lin arrived in front of Zhao Ji's bed.

After seeing Xu Lin through the purple curtain, Zhao Ji's eyes sparkled and she waved her sleeves to send the people around her away.

"Sir, why are you free to come to Ganquan Palace today?"

"I thought the master had forgotten me!"

After Hongzao and the others walked away, Zhao Ji lifted her hair to her chest and complained lazily.
