Qin Gong

Chapter 419 Tian Ding's Worries

"Assassination?"

In the ambassador's mansion, Tian Ding was in the study, and when he heard Xunzhou's words, he turned his head in surprise.

"In Xianyang, Qin State, someone dared to assassinate Bai Yan?"

Lin Anshun frowned slightly, lowered his head slightly, with a pensive look on his face.

"This matter is too strange!"

Lin Anshun looked at Tian Ding and said softly.

Xunzhou also looked at Tian Ding.

"The assassins are being searched everywhere in the city at this moment. It is said that the person who assassinated Bai Yan last night was premeditated."

Xunzhou truthfully told all the news he knew.

However, Tian Ding's attention was not on the assassin. The keen Tian Ding noticed that when Bai Yan was assassinated last night, it was almost midnight.

"Can you find out why Bai Yan passed by late at night? Between that road and Bai Yu's mansion, the other end is Qin Palace!"

Tian Ding asked.

Hearing this, Xunzhou took a look at Lin Anshun under Tian Ding's watchful eyes, then thought for a while, and then slowly opened his mouth.

"I heard that after the imperial court, Bai Yan was called to study by Ying Zheng. According to the news, Ying Zheng will probably promote Bai Yan to be a regular servant and keep him by his side!"

Xunzhou said.

After the words fell, Tian Ding immediately stood up with an expression of disbelief, his eyes full of suspicion.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! I will spread the news in Xianyang. Even if Ying Zheng finds out, even if Bai Yan sacrifices his life for Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng will never rest assured that he will stay by his side, and even be promoted to a Zhongchang attendant!"

Tian Ding shook his head slightly, and there was an imperceptible panic in his trance-filled eyes.

If Bai Yan had been regarded by Tian Ding before as a general capable of conscripting and fighting, Tian Ding would not be afraid, because he had already offended the gentry in the world, and the Qin law was strict, sooner or later, the Qin State would perish.

But after experiencing Luoyin City and seeing Bai Yan's strategic talents with his own eyes, Tian Ding was very afraid that one day, a talented and capable man would become the Prime Minister of Qin State and the pillar of Qin State.

This kind of uneasiness is far from comparable to Li Si, Meng's, Li's, or even Wang's.

One of the reasons is that Bai Yan is younger than everyone else. He is not only good at fighting, but also has the ability to govern the country and stabilize the country. Such a person is a pillar in the temple of the Qin Kingdom. A more important reason is that in Bai Yan, Tian Ding saw something that Li Si, Wang Jian, and Wei Liao didn't have.

That is a glimmer of Qin's future.

Tian Ding clearly said that it was not an exaggeration. Lord Changping and Kai Zhuang served as the left and right prime ministers of the Qin State. Wei Liao, Wang Wan, Li Si, Feng Quji and other ministers of the Qin State were in charge of the temple of the Qin State. The Qin State has not changed.

In addition to making Qin's territory more and more vast through killing, wherever Qin went, people's grievances were boiling, and the gentry turned against Qin.

Such an unchanged state of Qin will perish sooner or later.

But in Luoyin, Tian Ding saw the young man held on him, saw the change, appeased the people, recruited the gentry, from the generals to the soldiers, all believed in the young man, and remembered the previous experience of the high slaves in the county. Things, I remembered Lu Qi mentioned what Meng Yu once said.

This is the reason why Tian Ding is worried, if one day, once Chu Qi can't stop Qin.

Qin, also must not have a future!

"My lord! My lord!!!"

When Xunzhou's voice came to his ears, Tian Ding slowly came back to his senses and looked at Xunzhou.

"My lord, could it be that my lord's method works, and Ying Zheng is using this to remove Bai Yan's military power!"

Xunzhou looked at Tian Ding who had just lost his mind, and said softly.

To be honest, as a junior, after following the elder Tian Ding for many years, it was the first time for Xunzhou to see Tian Ding showing his talent just now. This made Xunzhou full of curiosity. Yan, Tian Ding's expression was extremely dignified.

It was when Qin State destroyed South Korea, and even when it was learned that Qin State sent troops to attack Yan, he did not show his appearance. The last time it was like this, Zhao State was destroyed by Qin State.

"Absolutely not. If Yingzheng wants to get rid of Bai Yan's military power, he can go to Longxi of Qin State, or the northern part of Qin State, where he is far away from the flames of war!"

Tian Ding shook his head.

"If Yingzheng really brings Bai Yan with him, then he must be planning to promote Bai Yan to be a Zhongchang attendant!"

Tian Ding sighed, the worry in his eyes became more and more obvious.

If he hadn't come to Qin country this time, and hadn't met Bai Yan in person, Tian Ding might not have dared to imagine that one day he would be panicked because of a young boy.

"Why did Ying Zheng bring Bai Yan by his side? You must know that Bai Yan is a child of the Bai family. After Bai Qi! Is it true that Ying Zheng's heart is as big as the sea?"

While Tian Ding was thinking, he suddenly sighed again and asked in a puzzled way.

For the first time, Tian Ding suddenly discovered that Ying Zheng, whom he thought he knew very well, now seemed to know nothing at all.

Inside the study.

Xunzhou and Lin Anshun looked at each other. Regarding Tian Ding's doubts, they were not the same.

Ask yourself, now both of them admire Ying Zheng, the whole city of Xianyang is full of Bai Yan's gossip, there is no shortage of mentions of Bai Qi and Bai Yan's disrespectful words, under such circumstances, Ying Zheng didn't say anything at all. If he didn't mind, he boldly brought Bai Yan by his side to do the cultivation.

strangeness!strangeness!
"My lord, do we have to return to Qi Kingdom early?"

Lin Anshun and Xunzhou looked at Tian Ding.

In fact, at this moment Lin Anshun and Xunzhou already had the intention of returning. Apart from wanting to return to Qi, more importantly, they wanted to say goodbye to Tian Ding when passing by, and the two of them went to Yanmen together.

After all, there are too many doubts and mysteries, and they all need to go to Yanmen in person.

Xunzhou wants to see his clan brother, and Lin Anshun wants to see the old Wei who brought him up and cultivated him carefully!
"Ok!"

When Tian Ding heard Lin Anshun and Xunzhou's words, he nodded while thinking about it.

After all, hands and feet are bound in Xianyang, and the contacts and means available are limited after all. It is better to return to Qi State earlier, and then there will be more ways to keep Bai Yan away from the temple of Qin State.

"Okay, then we will return to Qi Kingdom tomorrow!"

When Xunzhou and Lin Anshun heard Tian Ding's words, their eyes were full of joy, and they wished they could pack up their things and set off immediately today.

But at this time.

Tian Feiyan, who was kneeling in front of the wooden window and looking at the bamboo slips, quietly looked at Lin Anshun and Xunzhou.

"Bai Yan was assassinated just now. All Qin officials and palace guards in Xianyang are looking for the murderer. Once my father leaves, he will tell the world that the assassin was sent by his father!"

Tian Feiyan was full of helplessness.

To use a sentence I read in the bamboo slips once, a wise man is bound to make a mistake. When his father heard about Bai Yan's assassination, he didn't take it to heart. He thought it was other nobles who did it, or Bai Yan's enemy.

Father has been ignoring one problem, that is, this assassination was aimed at father from the beginning to the end!

"Father can't go anywhere now! We can only wait until there is news of the assassin!"

After Tian Feiyan finished speaking, she continued to look at the bamboo slips.

Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng has a good eye!

Thinking of this, the corners of Tian Feiyan's mouth slowly raised, looking at the bamboo slips, watching the stories in them. In the past two years, although the young man has gradually written stories, why can't Tian Feiyan spy on them from them? The way of the world conceived in the boy's mind.

A world where the people can live and there is no war in the world!
Why even though everyone laughed at him and thought he was not good, she, Tian Feiyan, firmly believed.

Because she, Tian Feiyan, is the only person in the world who has seen a young talent!He knows better than his father and everyone.

"Will you stay by Yingzheng's side and become an important minister of Qin in the future, will the whole world be like the one in the story?"

Looking at the bamboo slips, Tian Feiyan murmured in his heart, his eyes flickered slightly.

If that's the case, she, Tian Feiyan, has to wait and see!
Inside the study.

Following Tian Feiyan's words, Tian Ding, Lin Anshun, and Xunzhou were not stupid people, so they didn't realize it just now, but after Tian Feiyan's reminder, they all froze in place.

As Tian Feiyan said right now, if they really returned to Qi, they might be driven back without going far. If they escaped secretly, it would undoubtedly be a matter of actually assassinating Bai Yan.

thought here.

By putting the cart before the horse, it is obvious that Bai Yan's assassination was indeed aimed at Tian Ding. There was no assassin at all, and no one dared to assassinate Bai Yan in Xianyang.

After all, those assassins belonged to Bai Yan, no, they belonged to Ying Zheng! ! ! !
After trying to understand what happened, Tian Ding frowned, and Lin Anshun and Xunzhou also became short of breath. No one expected that Bai Yan and Ying Zheng would use this method to keep them in Xianyang. It will not destroy the friendship between Qin and Qi, provided that they do not sneak away.

"Master Tian, ​​Master Tian!!!"

There were hurried footsteps outside the study, and Hou Yao's angry and anxious voice came from outside the door.

Under the eyes of Lin Anshun and Xunzhou, Hou Yao hurriedly came to the study, and went directly to Tian Ding to compose the ceremony. After the ceremony, he glared at Tian Ding.

"Master Tian, ​​did Lord Tian know about Bai Yan's assassination yesterday?"

Hou Yao asked, in Hou Yao's heart, he had prepared thousands of words and countless righteous words to say to Tian Ding, but the next sentence made Hou Yao unexpected.

"Are there many people in the city saying that I, Tian Ding, sent assassins to assassinate Bai Yan?"

Tian Ding glanced at Hou Yao and said softly.

After all, Tian Ding is Tian Ding. When Hou Yao, who was upright and confident, saw Tian Ding's faint eyes, his heart suddenly swelled up, and his momentum disappeared. He was too scared to meet Tian Ding's eyes.

"Could it be Master Tian?"

What Hou Yao said was completely contrary to what he wanted to say before, but now Hou Yao only dared to ask a submissive question.

Looking at Hou Yao's appearance, Tian Ding sighed, didn't bother to speak anymore, and looked at Lin Anshun and Xunzhou.

"I'm going to Xianyang Palace!"

Tian Ding said, after Lin Anshun and Xunzhou nodded, he turned and walked past Houyao, and walked out of the study.

Hou Yao not only dared not speak, but also took a step in fear, worried about meeting Tian Ding.

Watching Tian Ding's figure disappear outside the study, Hou Yao turned his head and looked at Lin Anshun and Xunzhou.

"My lord, don't provoke Mr. Tian. Mr. Tian has devoted himself to the state of Qi. Even the prime minister knows this. When your lord is having fun in Xianyang in the future, don't be fooled by other people's words!"

Xunzhou compiled etiquette to Hou Yao.

The words in the words seemed to be good-natured, but they made Hou Yao nod and smile, his face was a little embarrassed, because Hou Yao had already heard what Xunzhou meant, and there was a cold sweat behind his back.

Lin Anshun also raised his hand to salute Hou Yao, and after the salute, he walked out of the study together with Xunzhou.

a time.

Except for some maids, only Tian Feiyan and Hou Yao remained in the study.

Tian Feiyan glanced at Hou Yao, and Hou Yao's eyes were full of fear apart from surprise, and he quickly backed away with a smile, and walked out of the study.

It was also Houyao's move, which made the two maids look back at Houyao slowly, and then quietly accompanied Tian Feiyan in the study, while outside the study, whether it was outside the door or at the corner of other corridors, one by one held The soldiers of Qi State with swords on their waists watched Hou Yao leave, and then closed their eyes.

In a forest in the yard, a pair of eyes in the gaps of dense leaves also looked at Hou Yao's disappearing back.

･･･････
Inside Xianyang Palace.

After the court, as civil and military officials stood up one after another to end the day's government affairs, the entire hall was full of noisy voices.

Among the officials, Bai Yan also got up, but he didn't rush to walk outside the hall.

"You boy, why didn't you tell your uncle yesterday that you met an assassin when you returned home?"

With a gloomy face, Bai Yu came to Bai Yan.

"Uncle, don't get in the way! They're just some thieves!"

Bai Yan explained with a smile.

While talking, he also accompanied Bai Yu to the outside of the main hall, but at this time, because he had to go to the study, Bai Yan could not accompany Bai Yu to leave the palace.

"You boy, remember to go back tonight and make it clear!"

Bai Yu looked around and knew that this was not the place to talk, but he just looked at the kid in front of him and was so angry that being assassinated by an assassin was actually a trivial matter!
This kid!It was to piss him off.

"it is good!"

Bai Yan nodded, and bowed to Bai Yu.

"Remember to be diligent when you go to the king's side, and be humble in your attitude, and don't lose your sense of propriety, but you boy is not such a caressing person! Go!"

Although Bai Yu was angry, seeing that Bai Yan still couldn't leave the palace, the anger in his heart also dissipated a lot. He wanted to tell Bai Yan as an elder, but he found out that Bai Yan's character is It seems that no instructions are needed.

Seeing this, Bai Yu had no choice but to give up!
"Bai Yan is clear!"

Bai Yan saluted Bai Yu.

Outside the palace, all the civil and military officials who had walked out of the hall, as well as those officials who were about to go down the hundred steps, seemed to feel something, and turned to look at Bai Yan, Bai Yu and his nephew.

Seeing Bai Yan standing there without the consciousness of leaving, no one who can be an official in the hall is not a fool, and they all know what the consciousness is at this time.

For a while, there were countless envious people, and the envious officials even shook their heads repeatedly.

"Remember, do things well by the king's side, and see how the king handles county affairs! This will be very important to you in the future!"

Mr. Hu and Mao Jiao also walked out of the hall at this time, and when they came to Bai Yan's side, they looked at Bai Yan who was compiling the ceremony, and said with a smile.

Needless to say, Mao Jiao looked at Bai Yan with indescribable emotion.

Even Mao Jiao was a little bit emotional, there was no chance to go to Qi State again, otherwise, if he had the chance, he would rather go to one of the courtyard houses in an alley and tell the old woman that King Qin Yingzheng had brought his grandson By my side, prepare to teach and cultivate, and prepare for serving as an important minister in the future.

"Thank you Mr. Hu, Bai Yan will definitely remember it in his heart!"

Bai Yan saluted Mr. Hu.

At this time, looking at the figures of Li Si, Lord Changping, Wei Liao, Wang Wan, Kui Zhuang and other ministers of Qin State, and seeing those kind eyes, Bai Yan nodded one by one in return.

After a while.

Bai Yan was standing in front of the palace gate, watching Mr. Hu, Bai Yu, Mao Jiao, and other civil and military officials walking down the hundred steps one after another, walking towards the outside of the palace, feeling the noise of the palace hall which was still noisy just now. Very quiet, some dumbfounded.

"What's so enviable!"

Bai Yan looked at the endless stream of rooftops outside the palace and in the distance of Xianyang City, turned around slowly, and walked towards the study.

When Bai Yan came to the study, Ying Zheng hadn't arrived yet, but a few eunuchs had already brought a large box full of tall bamboo slips.

Bai Yan went to court today.

I knew a little about some things, so I went to the wooden frame and found some corresponding bamboo slips.

Mo about half an hour later.

"Kings!"

"Kings!!"

Hearing the voices of eunuchs and maids, Bai Yan quickly stood beside the wooden frame and saluted Ying Zheng.

"Kings!"

Bai Yan waited until Ying Zheng asked him to stand up before raising his head.

Perhaps it was the continuous turmoil in Yingchuan that made Yingzheng extremely angry. Yingzheng, who heard about the turmoil in Yingchuan again today, did not look very good.

So for the next time, Bai Yan didn't speak, and quietly took out the bamboo slips from the wooden box, and brought them to Ying Zheng. Whenever Ying Zheng finished reviewing them, he took the bamboo slips to the wooden stand.

Different from yesterday, Han Yezhe was not in the study today, only Bai Yan, Ying Zheng, and a few eunuchs were serving, very quiet.

After experiencing yesterday's teaching, Bai Yan is not as flustered as yesterday.

Arranging the bamboo slips in an orderly manner and handling them clearly, Bai Yan also kept advising himself in his heart, this was regarded as tempering his mind, and he should not be impatient about anything.

"Your Majesty! An urgent report from Yi Shui!"

Outside the study, suddenly an eunuch hurriedly entered the hall with a roll of bamboo slips and reported to Ying Zheng.

"bring here!"

Seeing that Bai Yan didn't respond, Ying Zheng said softly.

When Bai Yan heard Ying Zheng's words, he came to his senses at this moment. Han Yeren was not here, and it was only him and Ying Zheng here. He had to get any urgent reports and news. Bai Yan, who had thought about this clearly, hurried to take small steps. Go to the eunuch and take the bamboo slips.
