Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 60 A sneak attack on Zhao Ji?

"Yes."

"But he has nothing to do with Lao Ai."

"He is from Chu."

Lu Qian nodded and explained immediately.

Lao Ai was from Zhao, and Lao Zheng just had the same surname as Lao Ai, that's all!

"This is a serious matter, don't worry."

"Let him stay in Xianyang first."

Lu Buwei frowned slightly and said immediately.

More haste, less speed. Therefore, we cannot rush to send Lao Zheng to Ganquan Palace.

"promise!"

Lu Qian immediately accepted the order.

Then he took Lao Zheng away from the prime minister's residence.

……

the other side.

Taoist Taiyi Mountain.

Mi Chen bribed the disciples of the Taoist Tianzong and finally met the leader of the Taoist Tianzong, Chisongzi.

Chisongzi is nearly seventy years old, with white hair and beard, and has been in charge of the "Xue Ji" for three consecutive years.

"Young friend, are you from the Qin State?"

Chisongzi looked at Mi Chen and asked.

"Yes!"

"I am here on the orders of the Lord!"

Mi Chen nodded and explained.

"Your Majesty?"

Chi Songzi frowned.

The 'Lord' that Mi Chen was talking about was most likely not Ying Zheng, because if it was Ying Zheng, he would definitely say that he came on the orders of the King of Qin!

"I wonder if you have ever heard of Madam Huayang?"

Seeing this, Mi Chen asked while thinking.

Lord Yangquan was not well-known, and Lady Huayang was more famous, so he chose to move out Lady Huayang directly.

"Madam Huayang?"

"Although I seldom leave Taiyi Mountain, Madam Huayang still knows about it."

"Are you here on her orders?"

Chisongzi's white eyebrows slightly frowned and he stroked his beard lightly.

When people from the six states of Shandong talk about the State of Qin, the first person they think of is either Lu Buwei, Queen Dowager Huayang or Xu Lin. No matter how they rank them, Queen Dowager Huayang is unlikely to fall out of the top three.

The reason why Ying Zheng is not in the top three is because Ying Zheng has not yet been crowned.

If it weren't for the Queen Dowager Huayang, could Ying Yiren become the King of Qin, and could Ying Zheng succeed to the throne?

"It is."

Mi Chen nodded.

Then he looked at the Taoist disciples not far away.

Seeing this, Chisongzi smiled warmly and waved his sleeves to send his attendants away.

After the Taoist disciples walked away, Mi Chen stepped forward and told Chisongzi that Lüshi Chunqiu was suspected of plagiarizing Taoist classics.

After he finished speaking, he took out from his arms the chapter in Lüshi Chunqiu related to Taoism that he had prepared in advance.

After reading it, Chisongzi felt unhappy.

"This is real?"

After more than ten breaths, Chisongzi put down the stack of straw paper and asked seriously.

"If you don't believe me, you can send someone to Xianyang to investigate."

Mi Chen suggested with a smile.

Chisongzi saw that Mi Chen looked calm, and thought that Mi Chen was not lying.

"Sir."

"In fact, it's not just you Taoists, there are also Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism, etc."

"Mr. Fu Nian has probably already left for Xianyang."

Mi Chen added seriously.

After he finished speaking, he told Chisongzi the details of how Lüshi Chunqiu plagiarized the classics of hundreds of schools of thought.

After hearing this, Chisongzi's face looked extremely ugly.

In fact, as early as last year, he had heard about Lu Buwei's obvious ambition, but he did not expect that Lu Buwei would extend his hand to Taoism so quickly!
You are not satisfied with being the master of the Qin State, and you are not satisfied with being the master of Luowang. Now you want to be the master of all schools of thought?

As early as when straw paper and printed books came out, Chisongzi wanted to go to Qin to find out what they were like.

Now that Lüshi Chunqiu is suspected of plagiarizing Taoist classics, he wants to go to Qin State in person!
"I will go to Xianyang in person."

Thinking of this, Chisongzi said expressionlessly.

"Thank you!"

Upon hearing this, Mi Chen bowed.

Then he left Taiyi Mountain.

Time is running out, the next stop is to the Mohist Mechanical City.

……

Seven days later.

Xianyang, the Prime Minister's Residence. After lunch, Lü Qian handed Lü Buwei his findings on Lao Zheng.

First, Lao Zheng and Lao Ai have nothing to do with each other, they just happen to have the same surname.

Second, although Lao Zheng was not tall and had a woman's face, he was not weak in that aspect. Or it could be said that he was very strong, just slightly weaker than Lao Ai!

Third, Lao Zheng was very obedient, unlike Lao Ai who was arrogant and ambitious.

After reading it, Lu Buwei rubbed his fingers and fell into deep thought.

Although Lao Zheng has many advantages, he also has many disadvantages, such as not being tall enough and not handsome enough. Would Zhao Ji be interested in him?
"grown ups."

"I thought that the Queen Mother had lived in the deep palace for a long time and wanted to be served."

"As for whether the servant is tall enough or handsome enough, it's not important!"

Lu Qian said respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Lu Buwei nodded thoughtfully, feeling that what Lu Qian said made sense.

"In that case, find an opportunity to send him to Ganquan Palace."

After a brief pause, Lu Buwei gave the order.

"Yes!"

"Actually, I have a plan, but I don't know..."

Lu Qian coughed twice and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

"Say!"

Lu Buwei urged.

He hates it most when people talk in a slow and faltering manner!
"Lao Zheng resembles a woman in both height and appearance, and he can even imitate a woman's voice."

"Therefore, I want him to disguise himself as a woman and go to Ganquan Palace as a palace maid."

Lu Qian said.

"can."

Lu Buwei frowned slightly, his brows gradually turning white, and then nodded.

It is indeed more appropriate for a man to dress up as a woman than to enter Ganquan Palace as a fake eunuch!
"Does the lord still remember Miss Dongyue?"

Lu Qian asked respectfully.

After saying this, he took a few steps forward and poured a cup of tea for Lu Buwei.

"Fuyutsuki?"

Lu Buwei shook his head.

He is not lustful, therefore, he is not impressed by women, which is completely opposite to Xu Lin!

"It's her."

"A few years ago, I sent her to Ganquan Palace."

"She and Lao Zheng are not only of similar height, but also of similar build. I want Lao Zheng to succeed her."

"Attack them by surprise. By the time Queen Mother Zhao discovers, it will be too late!"

Lu Qian added with a wicked smile.

"Impersonate, then attack by surprise?"

"That's a good idea, but you have to be careful."

"I don't care about the details, I just want the results!"

Lu Buwei's eyes turned stern and he said sternly.

"Yes!"

Lu Qian immediately accepted the order.

Then he left the prime minister's residence.

After leaving the prime minister's residence, Lu Qian found Lao Zheng, and the two went to the road that was the only way from Ganquan Palace to Dongyue's home.

Why did Lu Qian go to Lu Buwei to talk about this matter today?
This is because Dongyue is supposed to take a day off tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happens, after the sun goes down, Dongyue will change into casual clothes and go home from Ganquan Palace.

……

Less than half an hour later.

Lu Qian and Lao were waiting by the official road until the winter month.

Dongyue is in her early twenties this year, of average build, with a medium chest and a small butt, but she is very perceptive and honest.

"Lord Lu?"

"Why are you here?"

Dongyue was surprised when he caught a glimpse of Lu Qian out of the corner of his eye.

Then he walked towards Lu Qian, breathing out white air.

Although it is late winter, the temperature is still very low.

"I heard you have a day off tomorrow, so I'm waiting for you here."

Lu Qian said loudly.

"Waiting for me specifically?"
