Qin Gong

Chapter 311 Facing that helpless choice again.

In the dark night, in the corridor of the mansion, two maids walked in front holding candle lights, and a man looked at the mansion in front of him in a hurry.

for a long time.

Accompanied by the maid, the man came down to a study room, just before entering, the man immediately saw three men in the study room, and then saw the boy.

The moment he saw the young man looking over, the man's expression was full of excitement. Regardless of the other three men, he directly knelt on the ground and saluted the young man solemnly.

"Yang Yan! Thank you, General Bai Yan!"

The man knelt down to salute, his tone full of gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

see.

In the study, no matter it was Bai Yan, Bai Uncle, or Bai Yu, they were all stunned. Looking at Yang Yan who came in and saluted so solemnly, the three of them were at a loss.

How is this going?

First, in the middle of the night, in the middle of the night, I came to visit.

Now this meeting is such a solemn ceremony, and the object of the ceremony.
thought here.

The three of them couldn't help but followed their gazes, looked to the side, and looked at Bai Yan who was also a little surprised.

Well at this time.

Bai Yan also came back to his senses, hurriedly passed by Bai Yu and the others, and stepped forward to return the salute.

"General Yang Yan doesn't need to be polite!"

Seeing Yang Yan's forehead and brow touching the ground, Bai Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly knelt on the ground, facing Yang Yan, returning the same courtesy.

If you kneel on the ground and your forehead touches the ground, it is the most solemn Jishou. This kind of etiquette is often used between monarchs and ministers.

Although there are other important occasions to use.

But right now, if Yang Yan performed the first ceremony, it would really startle Bai Yan, and if it spreads, someone will add embellishments.

Li Bi.

Bai Yan and Yang Yan, who were bowing to each other in the study, slowly raised their heads.

"In the future, if General Bai Yan needs anything, Mrs. Yang will not give up!"

Yang Yan looked at the young Bai Yan, his eyes were full of gratitude, he cupped his hands and said: "Before Yang Yan left the mansion, my father told me to hold a banquet in the mansion tomorrow, and I hope General Bai Yan will not refuse!"

Just after Yang Yan finished speaking, Uncle Bai and Bai Yu, who were sitting beside the wooden table not far away, looked at each other.

"Huh? Banquet?"

"Yang Duan and the general?"

Uncle Bai and Bai Yu felt that they couldn't change their minds at the moment. First, Yang Yan made the ceremony, and now they even mentioned in their words that Yang Duan and the general were going to host a banquet in Yang's mansion for Bai Yan.

What exactly happened to make the Yang family so grand!

The only thing that is certain right now is that it is definitely not the matter of Bai Yan saving Yang Yan in Yan.

Yang Duanhe is a general of the Qin State, and his status is even higher than that of Bai Yu. Before that, even Mr. Hu couldn't match him. The grace of saving his life alone allowed Yang to host a banquet, but the person who hosted the banquet must be Yang Yan. , far from enough for Yang Duan and the general to personally order.

Bai Yan on the side frowned, looking at Bai Yan, who was kneeling on the ground after performing the ceremony, but hadn't gotten up yet, and looking at his back, Bai Yan's eyes were full of doubts.

"The old general's kindness, Bai Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed for a moment, Bai Yan will definitely visit Yang's residence tomorrow, so take the liberty to visit!"

Bai Yan raised his hand and said.

Since it was the old general's order, as a junior, Bai Yan naturally wanted to exaggerate his feelings a bit.

After speaking, Bai Yan put down his hands.

"General Yang Yan, please rise up!"

After finishing speaking, Bai Yan saw Yang Yan nodded and got up slowly, finally heaved a sigh of relief.

At this moment.

Bai Yan who just got up saw that Bai Yu, Bai Bo, and Bai Yan who were waiting at the side saluted Yang Yan one after another.

Yang Yan also quickly apologized, because Bai Yan had shown great kindness to the Yang family before, so he was excited for a while.

And Yang Yan's words made Bai Yu, Bai Yan, and Bai Uncle look at Bai Yan after the ceremony.

Seeing this, Yang Yan couldn't see anything. Obviously, General Bai Yu, Bai Bo, and Bai Yan didn't seem to know anything, so he also looked at Bai Yan and asked what was going on with his eyes.

Inside the study.

Bai Yan saw the gazes of the four, thought for a while, and smiled wryly.

"Just now when Bai Yan was chatting with the king in the palace, the king did mention the old general, but~ Bai Yan doesn't know how the king will decide."

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he looked at Yang Yan.

In fact, Bai Yan was also very curious about how Ying Zheng would give the order. After all, when he left the palace just now, because he was going to Bai Yu's place, he happened to see the carriage in the palace.

After Bai Yan finished speaking.

Bai Yu and the others also looked at Yang Yan. At this time, Yang Yan naturally didn't hide anything. After all, besides the king, he should be most grateful to the young man in front of him for obtaining the imperial edict.

The other three people are all members of the Bai family.

"The king just brought an edict, saying that my father led the army to quell the rebellion and destroyed Zhao for meritorious service. He was rewarded with [-] gold and [-] more households in Shiyi. He will go to Handan with him today to sacrifice together!"

Yang Yan cupped his hands and said, looking at the three people beside Bai Yan from the corner of his eye, especially General Bai Yu.

Yang Yan knew that, as a general of the Qin State, General Bai Yu should be able to understand this edict the best. In the previous situation of the Yang family, what it meant to get this edict.

really.

Just as Yang Yan finished speaking, he saw Bai Yu's expression of surprise, and then he came back to his senses and hurriedly cupped his hands.

"Congratulations, old general!"

Bai Yu said.

With a simple sentence, there is nothing else to say, and in this matter, this sentence is enough.

Bai Bo and Bai Yan, who had come to realize it, suddenly raised their heads at this moment, and looked at Yang Yan in surprise.

Now there are rumors outside that Ying Zheng no longer values ​​Old General Yang.

In this royal decree, in addition to the rewards, Ying Zheng even asked General Yang to go to Handan together in the future to participate in the sacrifice.

Where is this deprecation!
If you think about it, you will know that Yang Duanhe is an old general of the Qin State. If he goes, the ministers around the king must have a place for the old general. It can be said that he has always been by Ying Zheng's side.

This.
"Congratulations!"

"congratulations!!"

Uncle Bai and Bai Yan recovered from the shocking news, and quickly raised their hands to congratulate Yang Yan.

After all, both Uncle Bai and Bai Yan knew that as long as Yingzheng still trusted the old general and did not blame the old general for what happened to Yingchuan, then with the status of the old general, the old general would still be an extremely human minister in the state of Qin in the future, protecting the whole of Yang Shi.

"It should be Yang Yan who is grateful to General Bai Yan! Han Mo is my father's old friend. I accidentally revealed that after sunset, General Bai Yan and the king were alone for more than two hours. Afterwards, the king issued an order, and even heard Han Mo say However, the king also intends to appoint my father to serve as the governor of Yanmen County!"

Yang Yan bowed his hand in return.

But when they heard Yang Yan's words, Bai Yu and the others suddenly remembered that because of Wang Zhao's incident, they fell into a trance and forgot what Bai Yan said earlier.

In other words.

The king's ability to summon Yang Duan and the old general has something to do with Bai Yan!
And what did Yang Yan's words mean just now?Bai Yan and Qin Wang Yingzheng have been alone for more than two hours?

one thing.

Not to mention Bai Yu and Bai Bo, even Bai Yan couldn't react. He turned his head to look at the young man in Qin's official uniform beside him, with a dazed expression on his face.

Two hours! ! !

Bai Yan was summoned alone by Ying Zheng for more than two hours, what did he say during this time?
Moreover, if Ying Zheng sent an edict to Yang Duan and the general after Bai Yan had met Ying Zheng, it was obvious that Bai Yan had said good things to Yang Duan and the general.

No wonder Yang Yan came to see Bai Yan overnight.

After reacting.

"You boy!"

Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan and sighed.

Bai Yu knew that Yang Duanhe received the news of the reward not long after Bai Yan returned to Xianyang and met Ying Zheng.

This matter will definitely be known by the eunuchs and palace guards, and if it is spread, the world will know that it was Bai Yan who spoke good words in front of Ying Zheng!

The Yang family will definitely be grateful to Bai Yan, and it is no secret that Bai Yan has saved Yang Yan's life.

Everyone knows that the relationship between Bai's and Yang's will be firm and stable in the future.

The king is no exception.

In this way, Wang Shangming knew that Yang would be grateful to Bai Yan, and under such circumstances
The king also plans to let Yang Duan and the old general be the guards of Yanmen County!

thought here.

Even Bai Yu, with a complicated heart, looked at the young Bai Yan.

How much does the king trust this kid!

At this moment, Bai Yu, who has been in the army of the Qin State for more than ten years, opened up territories and conquered cities and lands, did not hide the jealousy in his eyes, the envy and yearning in his heart.

Now thinking back on the matter of Yanmen plundering and selling, and Bai Yan's inhumane way of offending countless people, Bai Yu has nothing to say in his heart.

"General Yang Yan, sit down!"

Bai Yu saw Bai Yan heard his voice, and looked over. Bai Yu ignored Bai Yan, but turned his head and let Yang Yan, who is a guest, take his seat.

Yang Yan hurriedly clapped his hands together and thanked him.

Accompanied by several people sat down again.

in the night.

In Bai Yu's mansion, everyone in the study chatted under the candlelight.

Because the king's order has not yet been issued, and things are likely to change, so Yang Yan ordered that this matter should not be spread at the moment. Uncle Bai and the others naturally understand this, and they have repeatedly promised that it will not be spread.

Even Bai Bo knew it.

Judging from the news of serving as the county guard, and in the previous edict, the king mentioned that Yang Duan and the old general should go to Handan.

This is obviously the king's special preparation to order in Handan.

If it is spread to other gentry and officials, I am afraid that Yang Duan and the general will encounter a lot of resistance.

The court ministers who have long been eyeing the official position of Yanmen County, as well as the gentry forces behind these ministers, will try their best to obstruct it.

Not to mention the many officials, generals, and gentry who wanted Bai Yan to die after seeing the friendship between the Yang family and the Bai family, how could they be willing to see Yang Duan and the old general who had a good relationship with Bai Yan regain power.

After half an hour.

Because it was late at night, Yang Yan got up and said goodbye, not wanting to disturb him.

Before leaving, Yang Yan kept instructing the Yang family to have a banquet tomorrow, hoping that General Bai Yu, Bai Uncle, and Bai Yan would be there together.

At that time, no matter what they have to say, everyone can chat while drinking and watching dances at the banquet.

"Brother Uncle, Brother Zhong, Bai Yan, you are here, I will send General Yang Yan out of the mansion!"

Seeing that Yang Yan was about to leave, Bai Yu got up and said to everyone.

"uncle!"

Seeing Yang Yan leaving, Bai Yan was about to hand in his hands and leave.

However, Bai Yu stopped him before he finished speaking.

"Wait a minute, your uncle still has something to explain to you!"

After Bai Yu finished speaking, he glanced at Bai Yan, then turned around, ignoring Yang Yan's obstruction, and insisted on sending Yang Yan away.

see.

Bai Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, watching Bai Yu send Yang Yan out of the study, then turned to Bai Uncle and Bai Yan.

Inside the study.

Uncle Bai and Bai Yan looked at each other, and there was some helplessness in their eyes at this moment.

Before Yang Yan came, before seeing Bai Yan, all the adult members of the Bai clan, including Bai Yu, gathered in the Pingyang White Mansion to discuss the matter of Yanmen.

Never thought.

It is true that I saw Bai Yan now, but what Bai Yan said before Yang Yan's arrival, and what happened after Yang Yan's arrival.

Not to mention Bai Yu, even Uncle Bai and Bai Yan can clearly feel and see with their own eyes how much the king trusts Bai Yan now.

In this situation.

Things get complicated.

"Uncles, what's the matter?"

Bai Yan's voice distracted Bai Bo and Bai Yan from their thoughts, and looked at the curious Bai Yan.

Bai Bo thought for a while, then turned to look at Bai Yan.

"Brother Zhong, tell me!"

Bai Bo said.

Uncle Bai knew that it was best for Zhong Yan to say anything about Bai Yan.

Looking at the closed door of the study, Bai Yan nodded when he heard his elder brother's words, and then turned to look at Bai Yan.

"Nephew, you didn't inform Bai Shi about the Yanmen incident before. Afterwards, Bai Shi made enemies everywhere, so my father decided to use Hu Jin's relationship to win Feng Shi over!"

When Bai Yan said this, he saw Bai Yan nodded.

"Bai Yan has already learned about this incident from General Sima Xing when he passed by Lantian Camp."

Bai Yan said.

Sima Xing had mentioned about Bai's letter going to Shangjun, so Bai Yan was not surprised.

However, what happened next caught Bai Yan by surprise.

"Master Feng Quji has agreed, but the premise is that the Bai family and the Feng family are married!"

Bai Yan said.

Then, under Bai Yan's gaze, Bai Yan told what happened back then.

Now Feng Quji is already the sheriff of Shangjun. If he wants to go up, he will be the left and right prime ministers. However, in the Qin court, the Chu family is the most powerful. After Changping Lord, Ting Wei Li Si is also eyeing.

In addition, ministers and generals stationed in other counties, as well as Wang Wan, Wei Liao and others.

Feng Quji wanted to be transferred from Shangjun to serve as the prime minister of Qin among so many forces and ministers, so he needed allies.

And Bai's family, relying on Bai Yan and Bai Yu, is a very good choice.

Bai Zhong saw this clearly, so he ordered people to write letters, one to Hu Jin and one to Feng Quji.

Finally, after several letters, Feng Quji did agree, but the requirement was that the Bai family and the Feng family should marry each other.

At first Feng Quji asked to marry a granddaughter to Bai Yan as his wife. After the Bai family refused to discuss, Feng Quji took a step back and asked to betroth Bai Junzhu to Feng's Feng Jing or Feng Dai. The eldest son, Bai Ping, married Feng Jie's daughter Feng Hui.

Feng Quji later agreed.

"At that time, even my father was puzzled as to why Master Feng would agree. Thinking about it now, Master Feng at that time may have already seen clearly the intention behind your execution of the general of the Qin Army at Yanmen."

Bai Bo suddenly said something at this time, full of emotion.

The more things he knew, the more Uncle Bai sighed. If Bai Yan hadn't explained it himself, he, his brother Zhong and his uncle would have been kept in the dark. However, Feng Quji's compromise at that time was undoubtedly because he had seen Bai Yan's intentions clearly.

If not.

I'm afraid Feng Quji would not agree so readily. The two sons of the fifth doctor Feng Wuze, it is impossible that they have not heard of Bai Junzhu of the Bai family, which is well-known in Xianyang and Yongcheng.

Bai Junzhu, who is erudite and well-versed in laws and regulations, it is impossible for the Feng family not to want such a daughter-in-law.

Inside the study.

After listening to Uncle Bai's words, Bai Yan thought of Feng Quji whom he had met in Shangjun.

At that time, Feng Quji had treated him with kindness, and upon hearing Bai Bo's words, Bai Yan also guessed that Feng Quji might have seen everything clearly in Shangjun.

"It is naturally the best for Feng and Bai to marry each other!"

Bai Yan looked at Uncle Bai, and then at Bai Yan.

The Bai family has already made friends with the Yang family. If Feng's family is added, with such a relationship, it will be difficult to shake someone who wants to touch the Bai family.

But why do you have to tell yourself this matter so seriously?

Bai Yan was a little puzzled, remembering the expressions of Uncle Bai and Bai Yan just now.

Inside the study.

Seeing Bai Yan's eyes, Bai Yan and Bai Bo thought about it for a while, and after explaining the matter clearly, they spread the word out.

"Nephew, do you know why Mrs. Bai is unwilling to betroth Junzhu to Mrs. Feng?"

Bai Bo looked at Bai Yan and asked softly.

Bai Yan was on the side, looking at Bai Yan, actually feeling helpless in his heart.

If he hadn't regretted the marriage back then, why would there be so many incidents today!
But at the same time, Bai Yan is also clear, whether it is himself, or his father, elder brother, Bai Yu, Bai Ji, or even his mother and other clansmen.

Everyone thought that if they didn't speak to Bai Yan at this time, they would never have another chance in the future.

In the past, everyone was unwilling to betroth Bai Junzhu to Bai Yan because the Zou family had already been destroyed, and Zou Xing, who had no background, was disliked by everyone.

However, Bai Yan, who is young now, is already a general of the Qin State, and his title is also a general, and he is even more favored by Ying Zheng.

For Bai's.

Now it doesn't matter whether Bai Yan has background or not, the most important thing is to let Bai Yan truly become a member of the Bai family.

By candlelight.

Hearing Uncle Bai's words, Bai Yan was a little puzzled at first, but soon, Dang looked at Uncle Bai and Bai Yan.

After reacting, Bai Yan still couldn't feel it, couldn't guess anything.

"Back then it was Mrs. Bai who regretted the marriage!"

Bai Yan said softly.

At this moment, Bai Yan's heart was full of complications, and he didn't expect that the matter would involve him again.

Now, seeing Bai Bo and Bai Yan who are about the same age as his father but are noblemen, Bai Yan didn't ask if this was a threat.

The words have already been said to this point.

Bai Yan couldn't see it, if he didn't agree, after the Yanmen incident just now, the Bai family would still be friendly with him on the surface, but no matter it was the Bai family, the Hu family, or even Feng Quji, they would all stay together again. It won't help him at all.

And most deadly.

Yang Duan and General Yang Duan also went to Yanmen to serve as the county guard in the future, not in the court hall of the Xianyang Palace.

"Although Mrs. Bai regrets the marriage, she has never owed you anything. Now Mrs. Bai is proposing marriage."

Bai Yan said.

Uncle Bai at the side turned his head to look at Bai Yan. Bai Junzhu is Bai Yan's eldest daughter. Now that Bai Yan said this to a young boy himself, it is difficult for Bai Yan.

After Bai Yan's voice fell.

The library is very quiet.

The candle lamps placed on the four walls shook slightly, and no matter whether it was Bai Yan, Bai Uncle, or Bai Yu in front of a wooden table, they all fell silent.

Bai Yan looked at the candle lamp on the side, feeling a little absent-minded.

At this moment.

The study door opened, and Bai Yu walked in from the outside. Seeing this scene, he felt helpless.

"Boy, it was Jun Zhu who married into your family, not you into the Bai family, why do you hesitate?"

Bai Yu stepped forward, continued to kneel and sit in the original position, looked at Bai Yan and said softly: "At the beginning, you said that you were still young, and it was time for the war, so you didn't consider starting a family. Now nearly two years have passed, and the war has ended again. , don’t tell me you never thought about women!”

"Think about it, kid, how many people want to marry Junzhu, even if you and Junzhu divorced, but Junzhu used to be your fiancée, seeing Junzhu become someone else's wife, can you feel nothing in your heart? Besides, you You have no background in Qin, and you don’t have many powerful connections, and your connections are all in the army.”

Bai Yu was straightforward by nature, and told Bai Yan the pros and cons bluntly, but before he finished speaking, he was touched by Bai Yan.

After glancing at Brother Zhong, Bai Yu looked at the silent Bai Yan, and finally stopped talking.

At this moment, Bai Yu felt aggrieved. It was impossible to say that he didn't like Bai Yan. If he didn't really like this kid, he wouldn't have taken care of Bai Yan so much back then, and even handed over the cavalry to Bai Yan instead of other cavalry generals.

But it's frustrating.

No matter what you say, Bai Yan just doesn't want to marry Bai Junzhu.

Sighing, Bai Yu looked at the thoughtful Bai Yan under the candlelight, even if he liked Bai Yan, no matter what, he would force him to make a choice tonight.

He, Bai Yu, used to take care of Bai Yan like this, but now, as a member of the Bai clan, he also has to think about the Bai clan.

Bai Yan will either agree to marry Junzhu tonight.

Either Bai Yan refused and left the mansion, and left with the cavalry officers outside.

　The Bai family is not a philanthropist. In the final analysis, the Bai family is also a gentry, and not just an ordinary gentry.

　　During this time, there were a lot of banquets, and they all got together to hold a New Year's Eve, and they just attended a wedding in the afternoon.

　　Thinking of this choice about to write about!
