Qin Gong

Chapter 417 Tian Ding's doubts.

"Why did Lord Tian say such a thing?"

Mao Jiao looked at Tian Ding.

Although under the gaze of Mao Jiao, Tian Ding slowly talked about what happened in Luoyin City before.

Mao Jiao also knew about the edict, but he didn't know Bai Yan's intentions. Right now, after learning about his passage and Bai Yan's purpose from Tian Ding, even Mao Jiao, who was prepared in his heart, couldn't help it. Shocked, unable to recover for a long time.

"I see!"

After an unknown amount of time, Mao Jiao just said something softly with a dull face.

To be honest, if it weren't for Tian Ding, Mao Jiao would never have imagined that behind the seemingly free crossing of the river, he would collect money for Bai Yan and gather the world's news in Luoyin.

"Looking at the past, Bai Qi led troops to conquer the station, and there was no defeat. However, Qin can only be strong for a while. Once Bai Qi dies, Lord Xinling and Li Mu can lead troops to defeat Qin and regain the territory. Therefore, if Bai Yan is only a famous general Cai, Tian Ding may not be like this."

Tian Ding said this and looked at Mao Jiao.

"A powerful country that leads troops to conquer wars can only be strong for a while, but a strong country in Anbang can be strong for generations. This is the case with Shang Yang, and so is King Zhao Huiwen!"

Tian Ding said.

After finishing speaking, Tian Ding looked at Mao Jiao and got up to leave.

"Since Mr. Mao is unwilling to return to Qi State, Tian Ding will not bother you anymore. When Qi State needs it in the future, I hope Mr. Mao will remember the kindness of his mother country and give him a helping hand!"

Tian Ding Jili said.

Mao Jiao got up quickly, under the loose Qin Guo sleeve robe, he saluted Tian Ding with both hands.

But I don't know if it was out of guilt, or because of Tian Ding's words just now, Mao Jiao didn't say anything.

Inside the gazebo.

After the ceremony, Mao Jiao watched Tian Ding turn around and leave. After Tian Ding walked out of the pavilion, he thought about it and suddenly spoke.

"Master Tian!"

Mao Jiao said.

Tian Ding, who had just left the gazebo, heard Mao Jiao behind him, thought that Mao Jiao was hesitating, and might want to change his mind, so he quickly stopped, turned to look at Mao Jiao, and saluted Mao Jiao.

However, to Tian Ding's surprise, Mao Jiao still had no intention of returning to Qi.

This made the joy in Tian Ding's eyes dissipate instantly.

But what Mao Jiao said next made Tian Ding stunned in place.

"Your Majesty Tian doesn't know that in the state of Qin, Mao Jiao is the one who is the most talented person in Qi and who is worthy of a high position! If Lord Tian can bring this person back to the Qi State, perhaps in three or fifty years, Qi Ke will be like what Lord Tian said! Can stand side by side with Qin!"

Under Tian Ding's gaze, Mao Jiao uttered a sentence, which made Tian Ding puzzled.

After Mao Jiao finished speaking, he bowed his hands to Tian Ding.

"Qi people are talented?"

When Tian Ding heard Mao Jiao's words, he looked puzzled and puzzled, but Tian Ding was about to ask.

"As far as this is concerned, Mao Jiao can't say more!"

Mao Jiao finished speaking, looked at Tian Ding, and finally turned and left.

Because Mao Jiao just couldn't help but say Bai Yan's name. After knowing Bai Yan's layout in Luoyin City, Mao Jiao was amazed by Bai Yan's intelligence, which made Bai Yan's talent in Mao Jiao's heart , and further improved.

Maybe it is true that Bai Yan has been in Qi State for 50 years and developed Qi State with the help of Tian Ding. Maybe one day, Qi State can stand side by side with Qin State.

thought here.

Mao Jiao didn't know what to say to Tian Ding. If Tian Ding hadn't chased away the young man and let him stay in Qi State, then the young man who stayed in Qi State would only Can be an official in Qi State.

So how come today.

Mao Jiao owes Yingzheng's favor and trust, and Mao Jiao is unwilling to betray Yingzheng, but he was born in Qi State, and the meaning of the word "a countryman" is not a heavy weight in Maojiao's heart.

Under the entanglement, finally Mao Jiao couldn't hold back his selfishness, and told Tian Ding that in the temple of Qin State, not only was he, Mao Jiao, but also a person from Qi with a great talent. As for who that person was, he, Mao Jiao, could not Sorry Ying Zheng, I can't name him.

Mao Jiao didn't know if Tian Ding could think of the boy who had been chased away, but for Mao Jiao, his reminder was enough to make him feel better.

People are so strange, they often need an interface, whether it is to vent their emotions or make up for guilt, they need an interface to comfort themselves, it seems that whenever they are angry, uncomfortable, or guilty, they can feel much better.

Mao Jiao is in this state right now.

When he was young, he lived in Qi State for many years, but he was not valued. Then he left Qi State and came to Qin State. Even though he was in a high position and advised Qin State, Mao Jiao could comfort himself. Qi State did not cherish him, so he could not be resentful.

However, now that Tian Ding came in person, and the attention he gave, as well as the remorse of the Qi people and the sorrow of the king of Qi, made Mao Jiao feel guilty for a while. The original excuse could no longer make him feel better. So Mao Jiao needs a new excuse to comfort himself.

Remind Tian Ding that there are Qi people in the temple of Qin State, and they are still great talents. As long as they return to Qi State, they may really help the great talents of Qi State and Qin State.

This is the excuse in Mao Jiao's eyes.

Qin Guochaotang, a Qiren, a great talent who is more suitable than Mao Jiao, three or fifty years later, if Tian Ding thinks about these words with peace of mind, he will not be able to think of them.

The premise is whether Tian Ding believes his words!Not as an excuse for his refusal.

"The Qi people in the Xianyang court?"

Tian Ding stood outside the gazebo, watching Mao Jiao leave from another direction, with a pensive expression on his face, full of puzzlement.

An hour later.

Tian Ding returned to the embassy's mansion, came to the study, saw his beloved daughter Tian Feiyan quietly looking at the bamboo slips in the study, and several maids waited on him, so he came to the window and knelt down.

Lin Anshun and Xunzhou had already been invited to the mansion of Tingwei Li Si, Tian Ding didn't care about this matter, Tian Ding still knew everything about Xunzhou and Lin Anshun.

Then Yao went to visit a Montessori.

"Qin State, Qi people? In Xianyang Chaotang, there are Qi people with great talents?"

As the maid poured tea into the teacup in front of Tian Ding, Tian Ding was still repeating what Mao Jiao said when he was in Mao Jiao's mansion.

He paid special attention to Tian Ding of Qin State, so he knew the court of Qin State, and even officials from Qi people in Qin State's counties and counties, but Tian Ding never knew that there was a person who had the talent and learning that Mao Jiao said.

"Father, why did you come back so soon today? It seems that Mao Jiao has made up his mind to stay in Qin!"

Tian Feiyan, who had been looking at the bamboo slips, heard his father's murmur, and was stunned for a moment. After thinking of something, Tian Feiyan suddenly raised her beautiful eyes calmly, and looked at her father.

"Well! Mao Jiao doesn't matter if he doesn't return to Qi State! Being a father today doesn't necessarily mean that Mao Jiao should return to Qi State."

Tian Ding nodded and looked at his daughter.

"Yan'er knew that father was going to trip Bai Yan again!"

Tian Feiyan shook her head helplessly when she heard her father's words.

"Father is not afraid of being stumbling, and being fooled by Mao Jiao!"

After Tian Feiyan finished speaking, he continued to look at the bamboo slips, as if he didn't bother to pay attention to his father.

This made Tian Ding look at his beloved daughter dumbfounded. If the eldest son could say that sentence just now, Tian Ding would be so relieved, and he is not afraid that after a hundred years, there will be no successors.

It's a pity that whether it is the eldest son or the other two boys, they are always inferior to Yan'er in terms of intelligence.

For example, if the three sons were there just now, they might not be able to see that his purpose is not just to persuade Mao Jiao to return to Qi. Yan's evaluation told Mao Jiao to prepare for the future.

Still the same sentence, Bai Yan doesn't have to die, but he must not be trusted and valued by Ying Zheng for a long time. It is best to stay in Yanmen in the future and not return to Xianyang of Qin State, nor be summoned by Ying Zheng.

"Mao Jiao!"

However, Tian Ding couldn't help frowning slightly for his daughter's unintentional words.

For a moment, Tian Ding didn't know whether Mao Jiao's words just now were a polite refusal, just because he didn't want to be wooed by him again in the future.

But recalling the appearance of Mao Jiao standing in the pavilion at that time, Tian Ding didn't feel like it.

However, looking back at the Qi officials in the court of the Qin Dynasty, it seems that none of them can be worthy of Mao Jiao's evaluation.

···········
In the palace study book.

Accompanied by the eunuch, Bai Yan saw Ying Zheng in the study. What Bai Yan didn't expect was that, apart from caring about his injuries and Luoyin's affairs, Ying Zheng didn't intend to let him go, but stayed in the room all the time. In the study, help Ying Zheng deliver the bamboo slips presented by the officials. After Ying Zheng finishes processing, he picks up the bamboo slips and puts them on the bookshelf.

Because it is a royal palace, Yingzheng, King Qin's study room is not so big, and there are too many bookshelves and bamboo slips in it. Fortunately, Yingzheng let Han Yezhe come in to teach Bai Yan, so Bai Yan didn't mess it up, but as time went by In the past, he was too busy.

Seeing Ying Zheng knelt behind the wooden table reading the bamboo slips in the study, frowning from time to time, Bai Yan and Han Yezhe stood on the left and right.

Even Bai Yan didn't know how long the time had passed, until the sky outside the window gradually darkened, and one by one the maids entered the study to light candles, Bai Yan was still unable to leave.

Looking out of the window from time to time, Bai Yan was full of pity. After all, Bai Yan still planned to go to Tian Ding's mansion to see Tian Feiyan. After all, he didn't see Tian Feiyan often. Tian Feiyan was far away in Linzi, Qi State, and he couldn't leave Qin State without authorization.

Right now, every day is precious to Bai Yan.

"Yingchuan is in turmoil again!"

Ying Zheng looked at a roll of bamboo slips and said with a sigh.

Perhaps Ying Zheng, who was cruel and heartless in the eyes of outsiders in the past, will only show a tired and helpless look at this time.

This sentence is not an exaggeration at all. It is far from easy to be the king of a country. It seems that if Yingzheng shows weakness in the entire Qin Dynasty, countless forces will confront and fight. , gossip is more than just.

Therefore, a successful king can't even show an expression or even a look in his eyes at will.

"Han Mo, in the past ten days, how many books about the unrest have there been in Yingchuan County?"

Ying Zheng looked at the bamboo slips and asked.

Han Yezhe heard the words and saluted Ying Zheng.

"Back to the king, a total of 37 points, a total of 79 places rebelled, the turmoil spread to two towns, 110 people died, [-] officials were captured, and [-] rebels were captured!"

Han Yezhe said to Yingzheng in detail, this is the number that Han Yezhe memorized during this period of time, among the bamboos and silks submitted by all officials, the statistics related to Yingchuan County, these are all after Yingzheng's review , Han Yezhe took Bai Yannao and placed it on the wooden frame in Yingchuan County behind.

Unlike secret letters or urgent reports, these figures related to the rebellion must be counted.

"Yingchuan County, why are there so many people rebelling?"

Ying Zheng frowned when he heard Han Yezhe's words, and put down the bamboo slip in his hand full of worry.

Han Yezhe didn't answer Ying Zheng's words, nor would he know how to answer them. Instead, he inadvertently raised his head to look at the young man standing beside Ying Zheng, Bai Yan.

If Han Yezhe was still worried about Bai Yan yesterday, then Han Yezhe couldn't help but feel palpitations right now.

Han Mo, who has won the trust of Yingzheng, has been in the palace for decades, and knows better than anyone else the intention behind the king's leaving Bai Yanqi, and he also understands the weight of this move better than anyone else.

Just like now.

Bai Yan was not a regular servant of Zhongzhong, but was left behind to do the work of a regular servant of Zhongzhong. If Han Mo couldn't see Ying Zheng's intentions, he would have spent decades in the palace for nothing.

"Bai Yan! In your eyes, how do you view these things?"

Ying Zheng turned his head and looked at Bai Yan.

If Bai Yan didn't dare to speak when he saw Han Yezhe's eyes just now, then seeing Ying Zheng's question, Bai Yan already knew that Ying Zheng was asking his opinion.

"Returning to the king, in the eyes of the minister, the people of Yingchuan County were all Koreans before, and now they have become Qin people for only two years. They must not be used to the rule of Qin law. In addition, the interests of the gentry have been damaged, and they are secretly provoking under dissatisfaction. The act of rebellion is normal and has nothing to do with the Xianyang court!"

Bai Yan cupped his hands to Ying Zheng and said.

While speaking, Bai Yan could feel some sweat on his back. If he used to lead troops in battles, every promotion was a test for Yingzheng. Now, every word is a test.

This made Bai Yan tense up, thinking very hard, for fear of saying the wrong thing or talking nonsense.

"Oh?"

Hearing Bai Yan's words, Yingzheng said that the rebellion had nothing to do with the Xianyang court, and that the gentry in the counties were at fault. This statement made Yingzheng's eyes shine, and the gloom and worry just now subsided quietly. .

"Details!"

Ying Zheng didn't express his opinion in a hurry, but asked Bai Yan to explain in detail, and looked at the bamboo slip in his hand.

Seeing this, Bai Yan saluted Ying Zheng with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the chaos in Yingchuan is nothing more than interests in the final analysis. The interests that Qin Law hurts are not farmers and people, but the nobles of the gentry. In the past when Korea was here, scholars were all scholars. The sons of the powerful will still be the sons of the powerful in the future. Now that Korea is destroyed, the nobles of the gentry not only lose their former rights, but also their status and wealth, so they are dissatisfied. Most of the farmers and the people believe their words! Therefore, the accidents of the farmers are mostly related to the gentry!"

Bai Yan said what was in his heart, and his main purpose was to push the problem to the gentry. In fact, no matter which dynasty, the most important reason for the chaos in the world is also the gentry.

I really think that all the courts are not good to the people, but the orders of the court are not as good as the means of the local gentry.

One is a court far away in the sky, and the other is a well-known local famous family. Most of the time, the common people will choose to listen to the latter, because they can only hear the latter.

"Those gentry want rights?"

Ying Zheng didn't show any special expression when he heard Bai Yan's words, he still looked at the bamboo slips.

Under the candlelight.

Bai Yan looked at Ying Zheng and thought about it.

"I thought that what those gentry wanted in the end was the restoration of Korea!"

Bai Yan said softly, saluting to Ying Zheng.

And Bai Yan's words startled the Han Yezhe standing on the other side of the wooden table, and immediately looked at Bai Yan.

Ying Zheng, who had been looking at the bamboo slips, was still looking at the bamboo slips, but his eyes remained motionless, obviously not looking at the bamboo slips.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yan didn't speak.

When he said that just now, Bai Yan wanted to tell Ying Zheng that according to the current Qin law, it could not meet the needs of those gentry. Qin law and those gentry could not coexist at all. Either completely get rid of those gentry, or modify Qin law.

When he said this, Bai Yan was also selfish.

After all, it is clear that the Qin State in later generations was defeated by Qin Law. Qin Law has corvees, and it has to commit crimes. Tuli, food, drink and housing, including clothes, are all allocated by the government according to the Qin law. This is good for the Qin State during the war, but if the world is united, facing hundreds of thousands or millions of apprentices, what should be done? how.

It is delicious and delicious, and ten dollars are given every month! ! !

It is still like the later generations, without wasting manpower and labor, building a series of major projects such as mausoleums, the Great Wall, and straight roads, and then investing more manpower if they want to finish the project quickly.

In Bai Yan's heart, he knew better than anyone else that the laws of Qin must be changed, and it must be changed after the world is unified, otherwise Qin will still follow the old path.

But right now, Bai Yan can't say, and it's not suitable to say, to revise the four words of Qin Law.

In Xianyang City.

As night fell, the sky gradually darkened.

In Bai's mansion, Bai Yu, Lu's, Bai Uncle, Bai Yan and others have not waited for Bai Yan to return, and everyone is extremely puzzled.

"Strange, that kid was summoned by the king when he was going to court. It is reasonable to say that he left the palace in only an hour or two. Why is it that it is dark now and he didn't come back? Could it be that he was dragged to a restaurant halfway?"

Bai Yu shook his head, because after returning from the court, he told his elder brother and others that his elder brother was worried about Bai Yan, and he was going to discuss how to solve the rumors in Xianyang City, after all, it would also affect Bai Yan in the long run.

Never thought that Bai Yan would not come back until dark.

"Strange! Logically, even if he doesn't come back, Bai Yan should send his servants back to the manor to inform him!"

Bai Bo and Bai Yan looked at each other, but they couldn't figure it out either.

At this moment, a servant hurriedly walked in and came to Bai Yu.

"My lord, there is a minister outside the mansion who calls himself Tai Jing. He said he has an appointment with General Bai Yan, but he didn't see General Bai Yan attending the appointment. Out of curiosity, he came here to inquire!"

The servant cupped his hands at Bai Yu and said.

After hearing this sentence, Bai Yu, Bai Bo, and Bai Yan were even more convinced that Bai Yan hadn't gone out to drink, otherwise Bai Yan, who had already made an appointment with his friends, would never be absent for no reason and lose his credibility. It's a bad reputation to spread.

"Invite someone into the mansion!"

Bai Yu glanced at his elder brother Bai Yan, and after seeing Bai Yan nodding, he gave instructions to the servant.

Seeing this, the servant hurriedly turned around and left.
