Qin Gong

in the middle of the night.

Bai Bo and Bai Yan's carriage slowly stopped in front of Bai Yu's mansion. When the two got off the carriage, they saw the iron cavalry guards standing near the entrance.

Looking at the soldiers wearing armor and swords, Bai Bo and Bai Yan looked at each other, and then walked towards the mansion.

As a member of the Bai family.

Different from Bai Yan, the two people who came by Bai Yu's mansion from time to time were naturally known to the servants of the mansion.

soon.

Under the leadership of the servant, Bai Bo and Bai Yan came to the study.

Just now when he entered the study, he saw the young Bai Yan in official uniform, kneeling in front of the wooden table, eating vegetables.

Bai Yan also saw Bai Uncle and Bai Yan at this time, quickly put down the food in his hands, and then got up.

"Bai Yan, I met the two uncles!"

Bai Yan raised his hand and bowed to Bai Bo and Bai Yan.

Not seeing each other for half a year, Uncle Bai, who is mostly a Confucian scholar, and Bai Yan, who looks blessed and full of wealth, still haven't changed much.

In fact, when he was in front of the mansion, he heard the servant say that Bai Yu was in Bai Yan's mansion, Bai Yan really didn't want to go,

The whole journey was tiring and there was no rest, Bai Yan really didn't want to meet Bai Uncle and Bai Yan at this time.

However, Bai Yu finally invited the two of them over.

Inside the study.

When Bai Uncle and Bai Yan saw Bai Yanji's ceremony, they also bowed their hands in return, and the courtesy was very polite.

After all, both of them knew that in the eyes of outsiders, Bai Yan was a member of their Bai clan, but in fact, Bai Yan was not a member of their Bai clan. Before that, Bai Yan needed their Bai clan, and later their Bai clan needed Bai Yan.

In this complicated relationship, their Bai family has no longer resisted Bai Yan. Even the young men in the clan, whether male or female, have a very longing for Bai Yan, who has no name but no real name, to let Bai Yan Really become a member of the Bai family.

Without him.

Before this, Bai Yan gave Bai's face too much, and gave Bai's prosperity and reputation that had disappeared.

Different from the older generation in the clan, among the younger generation of Bai's children, no one has ever experienced the status and reputation of the Bai family when their ancestor Bai Qi was alive.

All the young Bai's children have heard it from the older generation, but they have never really experienced it.

However, before this, Bai Yan actually let all the young members of the Bai family experience the experience of being crowded with people and countless people wanting to visit them.

That is, when being introduced by others outside, after mentioning that they are the children of the Bai family, all the children of the Bai family will receive the kind eyes of the children of other noble families.

As such.

Nowadays, the younger generation of the Bai family members, if there is any resistance to Bai Yan in their hearts, they all wish that Bai Yan could return to the Bai family in Pingyang as soon as possible.

"This is?"

The uncle looked curiously at the dishes on the table, and then looked aside Bai Yan, Bai Yu who had just finished compiling the ceremony.

On the side, Bai Yan, who also finished the ceremony, also watched this scene curiously.

"This kid hasn't eaten anything!"

Bai Yu said angrily.

The voice fell, and at this time in the study, two maids were already holding the cushions, and slowly lowered the cushions on the other two sides of the wooden seat.

"I've already told this kid that next time you come, if you haven't eaten anything, you can just ask the maid to cook. Although there are no delicacies, you can still get good food and wine."

While Bai Yu was speaking, he raised his hand, motioning for elder brother and Zhong brother to sit down.

When Bai Bo and Bai Yan heard Bai Yu's words, they glanced at Bai Yan, and seeing Bai Yan's chuckle, they didn't say anything.

After Bai Bo and Bai Yan took their seats.

Bai Yan also sat down on his knees, and after a quick bite, he asked the maid to pack up the food and leave.

Watching the two maids come in front of them and take away bowls of vegetables, Bai Yan looked at Bai Bo and Bai Yan at this moment.

"During this time, Bai Yan has caused trouble for the two uncles!"

Bai Yan took the lead in compiling the ceremony.

Since the person had arrived, Bai Yan spoke first.

The matter was done by Bai Yan, and then caused trouble to Bai Shi, so Bai Yan would not pretend to be confused.

On the other side of the wooden table.

Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan in surprise, he didn't expect Bai Yan to be so direct.

But upon hearing Bai Yan's words, Bai Yu glanced at the two elder brothers and nodded first.

"Tell us, why do you want to get rid of so many gentry, even the generals of the Qin State, and you don't let go of them one by one. Do you know the relationship behind those people, which involves a wide range of people."

Bai Yu turned his head to look at Bai Yan.

talking room.

Uncle Bai and Bai Yan looked at Bai Yan, who was dressed in official uniforms of the Qin State and wearing a royal hat, their eyes were full of complexity.

Before the Yanmen incident, not to mention the Meng family and Ximen family in Pingyang, even the big and small noble families in Yongcheng and other places, and even the royal family members, all wanted to make friends with the Bai family.

Not to mention the officials of various factions in Qin State.

However, after Bai Yan slaughtered the Yanmen gentry.

Not only the gentry who came to the door shunned the Bai family, but even some gentry and officials who had been on good terms with the Bai family almost turned against the Bai family.

The Bai family is not bad here, only losing some relationships and connections, and it doesn't matter if there is less business, but Bai Yu in the court has many more political enemies.

He already had an enmity with the Prime Minister of the Right, Mr. Changping, so it was really unwise to make an enemy like this.

"Bai Yan knows!"

Under the eyes of everyone, Bai Yan nodded slowly.

Bai Yan looked at Bai Yu, Bai Bo and Bai Yan, and raised his hand.

"The chaos in Yanmen is rooted in the chaos. Bai Yan killed people because he had no choice. Looking at the chaos in Yingchuan, if Bai Yan is in Yanmen, if those people are not eliminated, it will only take a year and a half. Bai Yan will not only do the same thing General Yang Duanhe's mistakes will even be killed in Yanmen by those gentry and Lord Changping together!"

Bai Yan said, after he finished speaking, he thought about it.

"Yingchuan is in chaos, the gentry is in chaos, and the Zhao Kingdom is dead. Bai Yan is in Yanmen, and Lord Changping is in the court. If Bai Yan doesn't do something today, the gentry will get rid of Bai Yan in the future!"

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he stopped talking.

Bai Yan didn't say that he wanted to develop his foundation in Yanmen, he didn't say that he wanted to subdue Zhao Bianqi, he didn't even say that he wanted to repay the king and gain his trust.

Bai Yan knew that even if he said those words, Bai Yu, Bai Bo, and Bai Yanding would still feel that the previous practice of not leaving any room in Yanmen was too much.

Therefore, when Bai Yan faced Bai Yu and the others, he could only change his angle.

Since he asked why those gentry were eliminated, he could only blame the Bai clan. If it wasn't for the Bai clan's offending Lord Changping, and if it wasn't for the Lord Changping being the prime minister of Qin, how could Bai Yan be so anxious to deal with the gentry.

In the final analysis, it was not placed in Yanmen, the foundation was unstable, and there was another extremely human minister in the Qin Dynasty, the right prime minister who was second only to Yingzheng in power was always watching.

Inside the study.

Hearing Bai Yan's words, Uncle Bai, who was about to say something, suddenly spoke up.

Bai Yan was fine, after all, looking at the young Bai Yan in official uniform, he didn't come to question Bai Yan in the first place.

It can be said that after the Yanmen incident, when all the clansmen were frightened by Bai Yan, and even his father Bai Zhong didn't understand Bai Yan, he was the only one who didn't rush to question Bai Yan.

learn from mistakes.

Back then when he was blind and rejected such a good son-in-law, Bai Yan didn't know how many times he was in the study, looking out the window and regretting it.

Whenever I heard that Bai Yan, who was young, wearing Qin armor and wearing a Qin sword on his waist, led the iron cavalry to fight against Li Mu outside, breaking through Yanyu and Jingxing.

One thing came to my ears.

How regretful Bai Yan is, if you don't experience it personally from Bai Yan's perspective, you can't describe how bitter that regret is.

Therefore, after the Yanmen incident.

From the beginning to the end, Bai Yan was not in a hurry. The figure of that young boy appeared in his mind, and he always had a premonition that the boy would not act recklessly, and he must not have acted recklessly.

Everything happened for a reason!

"Other gentry are fine, after all they messed around, but the generals of Qin, especially Su Han! Why don't you show mercy? You can write a letter to the king, and then the king will make a decision, rather than be executed immediately after you do it!"

Bai Yu sighed, and after listening to Bai Yan's explanation, he thought of Mr. Changping.

Bai Yu felt very helpless.

But what Bai Yu cares most about is not those Yanmen gentry, after all, no matter how many gentry kills, they are still gentry after all.

Although the gentry has a wide network of contacts, as long as Qin is present, although it can make the Bai family unhappy, it is not a big threat to the Bai family.

Those who really influenced the Bai family were those generals of the Qin army who were killed by Bai Yan.

Behind the person who can become the general of the Qin army, there is no one related to the Qin State, and Bai Yan's killing directly caused the court of the Qin State to explode. Many sons, son-in-laws, or confidants of ministers died directly in the In Bai Yan's hand.

Bai Yu now thinks back to the time when the news was just sent back to the Qin Dynasty's court hall, looking at the noisy and chaotic hall, he was sweating for Bai Yan in his heart.

Even Bai Yu was worried that Ying Zheng would order on the spot that day to remove Bai Yan's title and send him back to Qin for trial.

"Do you know that after the incident, Meng Jia, the concubine, came directly to my mansion and had a chat with me!"

When Bai Yu said this, his whole expression was discouraged.

"Su Han followed the great general Meng Wu more than ten years ago, with the saddle on his back, the general didn't say ah, just think about it, if your old friend Gui made a mistake that day, his head would be chopped off by other ministers. rank, and was also taken back the title, what would you think?"

Bai Yu said angrily, the Meng family is not an ordinary noble family in the court of Qin State.

Not to mention the fact that Meng Ao, who has already passed away and made great military exploits for the Qin State all his life, is the middle-class son Meng Jia, the great general Meng Wu, the lieutenant general Meng Shu, and the younger generation Meng Tian and Meng Yi.

The Meng family not only took root in the Qin Dynasty, but more importantly, every Meng family was deeply favored by the king and entrusted with important tasks.

No matter how you look at it, Bai Yan's act of offending Mengshi was unwise.

Although the great general Meng Wu didn't say anything, Bai Yu specially brought out Bai Yan's friend Gui from the deeds he had heard, and let Bai Yan experience it.

"Bai Yan has killed so many people, if Su Han is favoritism, what will people in the world think?"

Bai Yan said this, pondered for a while, and looked at Bai Yu: "What will the king think?"

"What do you mean?"

When Bai Yu heard Bai Yan's words, when he heard about Ying Zheng, he frowned slightly.

Looking at Bai Yan's eyes, Bai Yu was a little puzzled.

What does the king think?
"Kings?"

The uncle couldn't help lowering his head and muttering, then looked at Bai Yan.

Under the watchful eyes of Bai Bo, Bai Yan and Bai Yu.

Bai Yan thought for a while, and after looking around, he was sure that there was no one around, so he was relieved.

"The matter of Yanmen, no matter what, cannot be sent to Xianyang of Qin State, and the king will handle it!"

Under Bai Yu's puzzled eyes, Bai Yan then told Bai Yu: "Sending back to Xianyang, Qin State, although this is a safe method, on the surface, even in the eyes of the world, this is the most sensible move, but in fact , this is the most stupid decision!"

Bai Yan's voice fell.

Seeing Bai Yu's puzzled face, not only Bai Yu, but even Uncle Bai looked at the pensive Bai Yan, and then continued to look at Bai Yan.

"In Bai Yan's eyes, sending back to Xianyang seems to be the most appropriate method, but in fact, it is to leave all the 'trouble' and 'offending' matters to the king!"

When Bai Yan said this, he sighed.

"The final result is that the king can't be killed. After all, he is the confidant of the general Meng Wu, and he has made many military exploits for Qin. Even if General Meng Wu doesn't ask, the king will give Meng and Meng Wu Face can't dampen the heart of a meritorious official, not to mention that the concubine Meng Jia will plead for mercy."

When Bai Yan said this, he changed the subject, knelt behind the wooden table, looked up at Bai Bo and Bai Yan, and then at Bai Yu.

"However, if people are released, where is the authority? How will the people of the world view the king?"

Bai Yan chuckled lightly: "What's more, just imagine if a person sees rotten insects in a newly acquired house and cannot get rid of them, and watches them continue to eat the things in the house, even knowing that one day, it will affect people's lives. As far as the pillars in the house are stuck in the throat, that's all!"

Inside the study.

Those words awakened the person in the dream. When Bai Yan said this, not to mention Bai Yan, even Bai Bo and Bai Yu had already reacted.

Indeed, if according to Bai Yan's words, then the king may be in a dilemma, and he is not a human being inside or outside.

Whether you let it go or not, you will not get any benefits in the end. It is not even an exaggeration to say that this will affect Ying Zheng.

thought here.

Not to mention Bai Bo and Bai Yu, even Bai Yan raised his eyes and looked at Bai Yan in shock.

They couldn't imagine that these words actually came from a young man's mouth.

"So you not only get rid of the gentry, even the generals of the Qin State, as long as the people involved are convicted, they will be executed immediately! The only thing that will be sent back to the Qin State is a scroll of bamboo slips!"

Bai Yan opened his mouth slowly, looking at Bai Yan, who almost became his son-in-law back then.

At this moment, Bai Yan felt that he, who had never underestimated Bai Yan, felt more and more unable to understand Bai Yan, a disciple of the Zou family who was once named Zou Xing.

Before he came all the way to Pingyang of Qin State and Bai Clan, what did Zou Xing go through?
The same is the son of the gentry.

Why is this Zou Xing different from others!
Bai Yan could foresee that one day in the future, Bai Yan, who led the troops abroad and returned to the court, with his exquisite heart, might not have to worry about losing Ying Zheng's favor in the court.

"Yes!"

When Bai Yan saw Bai Yan's gaze, he didn't hide anything, and nodded.

In Bai Yan's eyes, Ying Zheng knew better than anyone else that if the gentry in Zhaodi didn't kill them, then the chaos in Yingchuan would happen in Zhaodi one day.

The land of Zhao is different from the land of Han. The state of Zhao has a vast territory, and the people of Zhao are fierce, brave and good at fighting.

Zhao Guo is in chaos, that is chaos!
Not to mention that behind those Qin generals involved in plundering and selling, Ying Zheng could see that those people had been co-opted and corrupted by Zhao Di's clan.

Ying Zheng has too many scruples.

Seeing clearly the helplessness behind Ying Zheng, this is also why Bai Yan suddenly ordered a thorough investigation of the looting and selling when he was in Yanmen.

Now in the study of the Xianyang Palace, the large boxes of remonstrances that cannot be filled are not fake, and behind each volume of remonstrances is a minister and general of the Qin State.

Why is Bai Yan doing nothing.

Why, after telling the story, not only did Ying Zheng not question it, he didn't even have the slightest bit of blame.

Behind all of this, it was Ying Zheng who saw that all of Bai Yan's actions in Yanmen were for the Qin State, loyal to Ying Zheng, and after knowing everything, he did it on purpose.

Now everyone in the world is blaming him, Bai Yan, and now in the court of Qin State, Bai Yan is making enemies everywhere, and there are volumes of memorials admonishing him.

Just like in the story, there are worms and rotten wood, there are big shopkeepers bullying customers, and there are guests cursing,
Just like what Bai Yan said.

What Bai Yan wanted was for the porcelain bowl containing tea to be stable and make people feel at ease.

If the porcelain bowl is the royal power and the interests of Qin, then what Bai Yan expressed is that no matter in the future, Yingzheng can trust Yanmen with peace of mind, trust Baiyan and Yanmen cavalry, Yanmen will not be chaotic, no It will shatter to the ground and the tea will be spilled.

Elder Wei is a wise man. When he saw Bai Yan ordering the execution of the general of the Qin Army, Elder Wei not only did not stop him, but supported him very much.

Inside the study.

After a moment of silence, under the candlelight, there was a faint sigh.

"Your Majesty, it's better to have a stick in your throat, but now that you have offended so many ministers, your situation in Qin State will be very difficult."

Bai Yu shook his head: "Originally, I just needed to keep an eye on Mr. Changping, but now I have offended Mengshi. Not to mention me, even Hu Lao has a headache."

Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan.

Although Bai Yan had already explained clearly, even Bai Yu couldn't help feeling that Bai Yan was thoughtful.

But no matter how the king goes, offending Mengshi and so many Qin officials and generals are real problems, if one is not good, Bai Yan will be attacked by Qin officials and generals in the future.

Just relying on his status and connections with Mr. Hu, he couldn't stand up to so many political opponents.

What's more, Mr. Changping is waiting for the opportunity in the dark.

It would be fine if Bai Yan returned to the court, but now that Bai Yan is leading the army, he does not know what year and month, Ying Zheng will order Bai Yan to be recalled, and take his title with him to serve as a permanent servant.

"grown ups!"

Before Bai Yan could answer Bai Yu, at this moment, a servant knocked on the door suddenly.

"What's the matter?"

Bai Yu frowned slightly, logically, the servant knew he was talking, and at this late night, no matter what, he would not come over to disturb him.

Why are you knocking on the door all of a sudden now?
The study was very quiet, because the servants were outside, no matter whether it was Bai Uncle, Bai Yan, or the youngest Bai Yan, they kept silent.

And under the watchful eyes of Bai Bo and Bai Yan, the servant outside the room said what he wanted.

"My lord, outside the mansion, General Yang Yan of the Yang Mansion is begging to see you!"

The servant's voice sounded.

Everyone in the study became puzzled. Uncle Bai, Bai Yan, and Bai Yu were all puzzled when they heard what the servant said.

Yang's Yang Yan?

Why did Yang Yan come here late at night.

Among the crowd, Bai Yan suddenly noticed Bai Yan.

Bai Yu, who was about to speak, followed Bai Yan's gaze at this time, and he didn't seem surprised to see Bai Yan at all.

"Before in Yanyu, Bai Yan saved Yang Yan's life, maybe he came to find Bai Yan!"

Bai Yan explained.

When Bai Yu heard Bai Yan's words, he turned his head and looked at Bai Yan, both of them were puzzled.

Although Bai Yan had saved Yang Yan's life in Yanyu, Yang Yan knew why Bai Yan was here, so he shouldn't have come here in the middle of the night.

After all, the grace of saving life should be prepared with a generous gift, and a wine banquet should be set up for him.

It's late at night.

Yang Yan came over in a hurry.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't feel like it's because of the grace of saving lives.

"Please come in first!"

Bai Yan said.

Bai Yu nodded, glanced at Bai Yan, and then ordered his servants to invite Yang Yan into the mansion.

Thank you for the monthly tickets and recommended tickets, thank you everyone.

Kneel down with a knife and kowtow to everyone!
Thank you so much guys!
At the end of the year, the updates with knives were not so stable in the past two days. Those older relatives who came to visit had to pour tea with them.

I should have had the experience of being forced to spend time with relatives, being gossiped at the thought of leaving, and my blood pressure rising every time.
