About This Novel
Lu Buwei entered the Qin Dynasty and used his extraordinary political ability to resolve the crisis of power transfer in the Qin royal family several times, implemented the Lu family's New Deal, and later led the country as regent as Marquis Wenxin, helping the young Yingzheng succeed to the throne to establish a solid foundation. Qin's national power was unprecedentedly powerful. Fan Ju recommended Cai Ze as prime minister, resigned and retired, and got to know Lu Buwei along the way south. Lu Buwei went north to Handan, and happened to meet the Qin prince Ying Yiren who was serving as a hostage. He was born with political ambitions, and finally decided to abandon business and join Qin. The legend of the Lu family began. Lu Buwei used his abundant resources to go to Xianyang to make a deal, and made the young master Yiren the legitimate son of the prince. Pingyuan Jun of Zhao State led his army to pursue him, but Lu Buwei was protected by a bloody battle with hundreds of loyalists, and escaped with Ying Yiren and returned to Qin. King Zhao of Qin died of illness, and the old prince Ying Zhu (King Xiaowen) succeeded to the throne and died of illness a year later. A stranger succeeded to the throne (King Zhuangxiang of Qin) and appointed Lu Buwei as prime minister to implement the New Deal. King Zhuang Xiang died of illness three years after his reign, and his 13-year-old son Ying Zheng succeeded him. Lu Buwei co-regents with the Queen Mother as "Second Father". During this period, Lu Buwei twice presided over the handover of the overall situation, stabilized the government and the opposition, and expanded the territory, and his reputation greatly increased. However, his ambiguous entanglement with the Queen Mother Zhao Ji attracted criticism from the royal family elders. Lu Buwei used extraordinary means to free himself, causing Lao Ai, a barbarian, to have an affair with Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji used the power of the regent mother to designate Lao Ai as a Marquis of Changxin, monopolized the power of the palace, and plotted a coup to seize the throne, causing the biggest scandal in the history of Qin. The young Ying Zheng teamed up with Lu Buwei to eradicate the Lao Ai rebellion in one fell swoop, deposing the Queen Mother and placing her under house arrest. Ying Zheng came into power at the age of twenty-one, and Lu Buwei summoned his disciples to write "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" to establish the royal strategy for governing the country. Ying Zheng insisted on Shang Yang's legal system and was seriously opposed to Lu Buwei's political views. Lu Buwei decided to publish the "Lu Spring and Autumn Annals", hoping to decide the strategy of governing the country through public discussion between the government and the public. King Qin Yingzheng was under tremendous pressure, and the State of Qin was once again facing a turning crisis.
