Qin Gong

"Can Tonggu see the intention behind the situation in Luoyin?"

Seeing Meng Yu also walking towards the young man not far away, Wang Wan quietly came to Li Si's side and said softly.

"Si, my eyes are clumsy, I haven't seen it!"

Li Si shook his head. At the age of 52, Li Si looked at the young man in the distance, and his heart was full of complexities.

As a teacher of Xunzi, he never thought that there are still things in the world that he cannot see clearly, and situations that he cannot understand clearly.

Ask yourself, if you don't know that the king seems to have approved this matter, Li Si will think that the young man is acting rashly and arrogantly.

However, Li Si didn't know that boy well, but he knew Ying Zheng very well!

"It's ashamed to say! I don't know if Mr. Wang has an opinion?"

Li Si sighed and turned to look at Wang Wan.

Seeing this, Wang Wan smiled wryly, looked at Li Si and shook her head.

Meanwhile, Wei Liao, Kui Zhuang and other ministers of the Qin State were in the same mood as Li Si and Wang Wan. They looked at the young man not far away as if they were looking at a monster.

It's not yet a weak crown, what they are doing now, no matter whether it is intentional or not, or unintentional, after all, all the officials in their entire court, and all the veterans who are a round or two older than that boy, can't see it. Clear up its real plot.

"We are all getting old, old, in the future! This temple is a place for young people after all!"

Mr. Changping, who had just experienced the pain of hurting his son, said softly at this time.

After finishing the words, seeing the gate of the palace opened, Mr. Changping turned around and walked towards the gate of the palace.

Li Si stood there, listening to Lord Changping's words, frowned slightly inadvertently, turned his head to look at the young man not far away, and after a few breaths, he also turned around and walked towards the gate of the palace with Wang Wan and others.

At the gate of the palace.

"Your Majesty agrees, I won't ask about Luo Yin, but there are rumors and rumors everywhere in Xianyang these days, obviously someone is trying to slander behind the scenes!"

Hu Lao said to Bai Yan.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Mr. Hu didn't ask too much about Luoyin's affairs, after all, there are too many people at the moment.

As long as the young man has a sense of proportion, in the situation that the king has agreed to, Mr. Hu knows that even if there are any problems and problems, Bai Yan will at best be demoted, nothing will happen.

Compared with Luoyin, Mr. Hu cares more about the recent rumors in the city.

Hu Lao, who is quite old, knows that gossip kills people without a sword, it all depends on their tongue!

"Bai Yan thank you, Mr. Hu! Please rest assured, Mr. Hu!"

Bai Yan nodded to Mr. Hu, and clapped his hands in salute.

While speaking, Bai Yan and Mao Jiao looked at each other calmly.

Mao Jiao also smiled at Bai Yan, Mao Jiao was one of the few people who knew the experience of the young man, so Mao Jiao was not worried about Mr. Hu's worries at all.

On the contrary, Mao Jiao was very curious about what happened in Luoyin. After all, Mao Jiao couldn't figure out what was behind Bai Yan's act of letting people cross the river for free. Contribute money, one contributes, this is the right way.

Now Bai Yan let merchants cross the river without paying, which is really against common sense.

But right now it's not easy to ask, Mao Jiao can only give up.

Seeing that the gate of the palace had been opened, Mao Jiao greeted Mr. Hu and Bai Yu to go to the temple. Regarding the matter of Luo Yin, the eyes of the young man were as humble as ever. Come.

Except for Mao Jiao.

Among the crowd, the second person who believed that Bai Yan did not mess around in Luoyin was Meng Yu.

If you want to ask who has the most affection for Bai Yan, Meng Yu is definitely not weaker than the others. After all, Meng Yu went to Gaonu in Shangjun in person. To this day, Meng Yu has not forgotten that he saw scenes in the canyon with his own eyes. And when he saw Bai Yan for the first time, Bai Yan was in the canyon, covered in blood, patiently bandaging wounds of seriously injured soldiers.

So no matter how outsiders talk about Bai Yan, Meng Yu always firmly believes in Bai Yan's character, after all, he has seen scenes with his own eyes that no one else has ever seen.

As the gate of the palace opened, the officials walked towards the palace one after another.

After Bai Yan and Meng Yu exchanged salutes, they very politely made a gesture of invitation to each other, and then walked towards the palace gate together.

"Brother Yan, have you ever been free tonight? I have a banquet in Zuimeilou. We will have a few drinks tonight!"

Bai Yan let go a few steps, and suddenly Tai Jing, who was wearing the official uniform of the Qin State, bowed his hands to Bai Yan in front of him.

It turned out that it was just now that Tai Jing saw too many ministers beside Bai Yan, and Bai Yan was also talking to the ministers, so he couldn't get in the way when he stepped forward, so he waited until Bai Yan was about to go to court before he stepped forward.

"Brother's kindness, Bai Yan will never refuse! Please!"

Bai Yan saluted Tai Jingji.

Just now, Bai Yan also noticed that Tai Jing had been looking at him, but due to the presence of Mr. Hu and Mr. Mao, Bai Yan couldn't get away.

Facing Tai Jing's invitation right now, Bai Yan would naturally not refuse.

And seeing that all the officials had already entered the palace, Bai Yan quickly invited Tai Jing to go in together.

"Please!"

Tai Jing looked at Bai Yan's intimacy, and with a smile on his face, he made a gesture of invitation to Bai Yan.

Inside the Xianyang Great Hall.

Bai Yan came to the main hall again, and when he knelt and sat in his seat, he looked at the top of the main hall, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

The last time I came to the Xianyang Hall was when Jing Ke assassinated Ying Zheng, and he almost died in Jing Ke's hands at that time, even now thinking about it, I still feel a little palpitating.

While thinking, seeing Ying Zheng appearing in the hall, Bai Yan quickly regained his senses.

"Meet the king!"

Bai Yan raised his hand, saluted Yingzheng together with other officials, and only got up after the head of Yingzheng returned the salute.

"Bai Yan, is your health better?"

Ying Zheng's voice came from the main hall, which made Bai Yan, who had just finished compiling the ceremony, unable to react for a while. When he did, Bai Yan had already seen the generals and other officials around him looking sideways at him.

"what!"

Bai Yan looked astonished, got up quickly, walked out of the ranks of generals, and came to the center of the hall to salute Ying Zheng.

"Back to the king, thanks to the concern of the king, Bai Yan's body is just a flesh injury, it is no longer a serious problem!"

Bai Yanshi honestly did not expect that the first sentence Ying Zheng said after going to court was not about the general situation of the military, not about the disputes among the nations, and it was not because of the many things about sending troops to attack Yan, but actually asked about his injuries.

This caught Bai Yan a little off guard.

Inside the hall.

In fact, the same people who were caught off guard like Bai Yan were civil and military officials. Everyone was the same as Bai Yan. Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng's first sentence after he came to court was to ask about Bai Yan's situation.

At this time, all the officials did not react, and it was extremely quiet.

After regaining consciousness, all the officials looked at Bai Yan with envy and jealousy. What is Wang En's protection? This is the real favor.

Hearing about Luoyin before, and hearing the raging gossip in Xianyang city, many officials were watching Bai Yan's reaction and the king's reaction.

It turned out great!

Contrary to everyone's expectations, His Majesty's current behavior seems to be totally indifferent to the gossip and gossip in the city, as if he never took those words to heart.

How can this not make people jealous!
And ask yourself, I have been an official in Qin for more than ten years, and since Yingzheng succeeded to the throne, there are no less than ten generals and ministers who have been favored. Now Li Si and Wei Liao are among them in the court, but how can Yingzheng be in the court? In the eyes of civil and military officials, Bai Yan was the first one who was unabashedly concerned.

This also made Kai Zhang, Lord Changping, Li Si and Wang Wan, headed by civil and military officials, couldn't help but look at each other with doubts in their eyes.

Logically speaking, no matter how broad-minded and magnanimous Ying Zheng is, it is impossible not to listen to so many rumors in Xianyang. There is doubt in the heart and a little grudge is born.

Why now.

Ying Zheng doesn't care at all?
On the contrary, people feel that they trust Bai Yan more!
Li Si couldn't figure it out, Wang Wan and Kai Zhuang couldn't figure it out either, and even Lord Changping, who was wearing Qin's uniform, couldn't help but look at Ying Zheng in the main hall with puzzled expressions in his eyes.

Ying Zheng's attitude towards Bai's family background from Bai Yan really made them feel a little weird, it wasn't like Ying Zheng in his impression.

what is the problem?

"Before the wound heals, during this period of time, there is no need to go to court! If you need medicinal materials, you can submit them to the palace. The widow has ordered the imperial physician!"

Ying Zheng sat on his knees in the hall, looked at the empty and majestic hall, the figure of the young man, and said softly.

Fortunately, Ying Zheng also knows that this is the court, the power center of the Qin State, and a place to discuss state affairs, so after a few simple instructions to Bai Yan, when he saw Bai Yan thanking him, he continued to turn the topic to yesterday's unfinished business matter.

Following Ying Zheng's opening.

In the hall, order returned to normal again.

However, the scene just now made all the civil and military officials clearly understand how much Ying Zheng now favors the Bai family and Bai Yan.

Even Tai Jing, who is at the back of the civil servants, is looking at Bai Yan eagerly at this moment, his eyes are full of admiration and yearning, if possible, Tai Jing really wants to take that stab for Bai Yan, no, two stabs, three stabs Stabbing is fine, as long as you don't die, you can lose an arm.

There are other officials such as Zhou Leshang who have the same idea as Tai Jing.

All the officials looked enviously at Bai Yan who entered the ranks of generals.

An hour later.

As the court meeting was going on, a palace guard walked in from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, envoys Tian Ding, Lin Anshun, Xun Zhou, and Hou Yao from the State of Qi are begging to see you!"

The guards came to the center of the main hall and saluted Ying Zheng on the main hall.

When Ying Zheng heard this, he looked at the soldier, and from the corner of his eye, he glanced calmly at Bai Yan, who was in the ranks of generals, and it disappeared in an instant.

"Xuan~!"

Since going to court, Ying Zheng, who had been serious because of the court meeting, almost couldn't hold back his smile when he spoke.

In fact, Yingzheng had a lot of dissatisfaction with Tian Ding when he mentioned this person, and he often wanted to get rid of it quickly, but he had no chance. In the country, the officials who advocated an alliance with other countries to fight against Qin were still relatives of the Qi royal family. How could this prevent Ying Zheng from killing Tian Ding.

However, since knowing that the boy was driven out of Qi by Tian Ding.

As time passed, as the young man gradually showed his talent in Qin, Ying Zheng was more and more grateful for Tian Ding's actions at the beginning, and the dissatisfaction with Tian Ding in the past gradually dissipated.

After all, in Ying Zheng's eyes, if Tian Ding hadn't driven the young man out of Qi, how could the battle to destroy Korea go so smoothly, and how could the war of trapped beasts in Korea not start before being trampled by the army.If it wasn't for the young man guarding Gaonu in the upper county, the Yue clan and the Xiongnu joined forces to plunder southward, how could they return without success, and they dare not offend Qin again.

There is one more thing behind!

So now hearing the name Tian Ding again, Ying Zheng has no hatred at all now, and what's more is the smile that even Ying Zheng can't help laughing, and the evil humor in his heart.

"Xuan, the envoys of the Qi Kingdom are going to the palace!!!"

The eunuch not far from Yingzheng heard Yingzheng's order, stepped forward two steps, and shouted loudly from the hall towards the outside of the hall.

"Xuan, envoys from the Qi Kingdom are going to the palace!!"

"Xuan, the envoys of the Qi Kingdom are going to the palace!!!"

The eunuch's voice kept coming from outside the hall.

All the civil and military officials in the main hall became quiet one after another. Many people turned their heads slightly and looked at the magnificent main hall gate behind them. They were full of curiosity about the envoy of the State of Qi, Tian Ding.

After all, as long as you are an official of Qin State, you have a certain understanding of Qi Guotian Mansion. It is not that every official of Qin State has news all over the world, but that the Tian family of Qi State and Tian Ding are well-known in Qin State, and even in the whole world. Among the countries, there is enough weight.

After a while.

Under the watchful eyes of civil and military officials, following the eunuchs leading the way, the four Tian Ding, who were dressed in the official uniforms of Qi State, appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing Tian Ding and his party walking through the gate of the main hall, among civil servants and military generals, many officials became short of breath.

Tian Ding's innate aura is rare in the world, just like when Qin Wuyang came to Xianyang Hall, when he saw Ying Zheng, he felt the aura of the hall, and the whole person became afraid.

Yingzheng has the blessings of all the officials in the main hall, so the prestige is naturally there, while Tian Ding is born powerful, and the things he has experienced make Tian Ding's aura far higher than ordinary people.

"Hoo~!"

Although many officials did not dare to look at Tian Ding, but looking at Tian Ding and his party, many officials still became nervous, some even had shortness of breath, and looked nervously at the backs of Tian Ding and others.

This is not because Bai Yan's aura is so powerful, but looking at the backs of Tian Ding and his party, many officials can't help but think of the assassination of the envoy of Yan State last time.

The rewards that Bai Yan got for saving the king by risking his life back then, when I think about it today, make people jealous with envy.

So at the moment, whether it is Le Shang, Tai Jing, or even some other officials, they all wish that Qi State envoy Tian Ding and his party will have another assassination. At that time, they will rush to protect Ying Zheng no matter what they say. It's a small matter, just keep your breath.

"Qi State Envoy Tian Ding, pay homage to King Qin!"

"Lin Anshun, the official of the State of Qi, pays homage to the King of Qin!"

"Xunzhou, the doctor of Qi State, pays homage to King Qin!"

"Hou Yao, the doctor of the Qi State, pays homage to King Qin!!"

The four of Tian Ding came to the Great Hall and performed the etiquette of envoys to Ying Zheng in the main hall. As envoys of Qi State, Tian Ding and his party did not need to perform the first salute to Ying Zheng.

After all, Ying Zheng is not the king of the four of them.

Compilation room.

Xunzhou also noticed Li Si, who was headed by hundreds of officials, looked at Li Si who was over [-] years old, Xunzhou nodded slightly to Li Si, and bowed his hands to salute calmly.

Seeing this, Li Si returned the salute to Xunzhou.

Lord Changping, Kui Zhuang and other officials were not surprised when they saw this scene. After all, it is well known that Li Si learned from Xunzi, and Xunzhou is the son of Xunzi, the descendant of Xunzhou.
