Qin Gong

In the study room of the palace, due to the news of Yi Shui, the ministers who had originally descended from the court were all summoned into the palace by Ying Zheng's order for about an hour, and gathered in the study room.

Bai Yan was still helping Ying Zheng deal with the books.

And beside the huge and vast map in the middle of the study, Li Si, Wei Liao, Chang Pingjun, Kui Zhuang and others were all talking to each other in low voices. The eyes are different.

Ying Zheng just got up after finishing a roll of bamboo slips.

Bai Yan came to the wooden table after waiting for Ying Zheng to leave, picked up the bamboo slips that Ying Zheng placed on the wooden table, and walked towards the other wooden frames.

When Bai Yan came to Ying Zheng's side, Ying Zheng had already talked with Li Si and the others for a long time, pointing to the location of Yi Shui on the map.

And through observation, Bai Yan also gradually heard the current situation of Yi Shui.

The two generals Wang Jian and Xin Sheng have led the Qin army to Yishui, and the Yan State has also assembled the Yan army in Yishui with all its strength, preparing to resist the attack of the Qin army.

"Your Majesty, according to the news I have received, the King of Wei has suddenly contracted a serious illness and is lying in bed. It is absolutely impossible for the State of Wei to send troops. The enemy army in Yishui at this moment, apart from Yan, should belong to Zhao Jia's generation. Army."

Wei Liao looked at Ying Zheng.

Li Si, Kui Zhuang and others looked at the map, and then looked at the location of Zhao Di.

The word Zhao Jia is no stranger to these ministers. After all, when the Qin State besieged Handan, Zhao Jia led most of Zhao's clansmen to leave Handan and fled to Daidi.

"Zhao Jia! It's just a county, but dare to stop my Qin State soldiers! Arrogance!"

Ying Zheng listened to Wei Liao's words, looked at the map, and commented lightly.

"Is there any news from the direction of the Huns?"

Ying Zheng looked away from Yi Shui's position, and turned to look at the vast territory north of Daidi.

Yingzheng knows that now that the Qi State is not moving, and the kings of Chu and Wei are sick in bed, the biggest threat to Qin's destruction of Yan is that only the Huns, Donghu, and husbands in the north are left. To deal with Qin State, whether it is to unite with Yan State or go south, it is quite a threat to Qin State.

"Go back to the king, not for the time being. I have already ordered someone to go to the Yue clan to persuade the Yue clan to send troops to attack the Xiongnu when they see the Xiongnu going south!"

Li Si bowed to Ying Zhengji.

Ying Zheng nodded upon hearing this.

Bai Yan couldn't help but glance at Li Si, then looked at the situation on the map, and sighed wonderfully.

Although Qin Mieyan can imagine that it is not the countries in the Central Plains that worry Qin, but the Xiongnu and Donghu in the north, and the one who can finally help Qin threaten the Xiongnu is precisely the deadly enemy of Qin for hundreds of years Yuezhi.

"Your Majesty, Tian Ding, the envoy of Qi outside the palace, begs to see you!"

An eunuch bent over, walked slowly into the study, and came to report to Ying Zheng.

When Ying Zheng heard the eunuch's words, he turned his head in surprise and looked at the eunuch. After a few breaths, he chuckled and looked at Bai Yan.

"Bai Yan, you go to entertain Tian Ding first, and then go to see Tian Ding after the widow's discussion is over!"

Ying Zheng said, and then continued to look at the map after speaking.

Lord Changping, Kui Zhuang, Li Si and the others all looked at Bai Yan when they heard Ying Zheng's words. If there was even a slight possibility before, then with Ying Zheng's words at this moment, Li Si and the others are convinced that Ying Zheng is indeed He wants to promote Bai Yan to Zhongchang servant.

After all, no matter what Bai Yan is doing or Ying Zheng's arrangement at this moment, it is all the affairs of Zhongchang Shi.

"promise!"

Bai Yan was a little surprised, but looking at Ying Zheng's side face, he still hurriedly clapped his hands and saluted, took two steps back, turned around and walked out of the study with the eunuch.

After a while.

Next to the main hall of the Xianyang Palace, Tian Ding followed the eunuchs all the way to the inner hall,
Whether it is Qin, Chu, Qi, Wei, Yan, or South Korea and Zhao, which have been destroyed, there will be inner halls in their palaces, which are used in the early dynasty and another place to prepare for emergencies, such as some envoys from other countries Or the words of the ministers in the court can only be told to the king, and if the officials cannot be informed, they will be taken to the inner hall.

Tian Ding glanced at the two maids outside the door, and then walked through them. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the young Bai Yan was already waiting for him.

Tian Ding looked at Bai Yan who was dressed in Qin's official uniform, and Tian Ding's eyes were complicated.

"Bai Yan, I have met Master Tian!"

Bai Yan bowed to Tian Ding.

"General White!"

Tian Dingye bowed his hand and returned the gift.

Although they hadn't seen each other for a few days, when they met again, both of them had complicated eyes, Tian Ding plotted against Bai Yan, and Bai Yan plotted against Tian Ding, their positions were different, they both knew each other's thoughts.

The eunuch who led Tian Ding came saluted Bai Yan, and then retreated slowly.

Bai Yan looked at the back of the eunuch leaving, and turned to look at Tian Ding.

"The state of Qin sent troops to the state of Yan. Your Majesty is dealing with important matters. Lord Tian, ​​please wait here for a while!"

Bai Yan said.

Tian Ding nodded, and as Bai Yan's words fell, Tian Ding glanced at the Xianyang inner hall in front of him, and then looked at Bai Yan.

"Tian Ding didn't expect that General Bai would be entrusted with an important task by the King of Qin at such a young age, and the future general will be nothing more than in his pocket!"

Tian Ding sighed.

"Your Majesty is very gracious, Bai Yan is still young and acts recklessly, not to mention going in and out of generals, even if he is an official of the same place, he has more than enough heart but not enough power, the king will not give up, Bai Yan is lucky, what can he say about generals."

Bai Yan raised his hand and saluted Tian Ding slowly, showing humility in every word and demeanor.

What is humility? Modesty and obedience are mostly used by juniors towards elders. Bai Yan's attitude is obviously not from the standpoint of an official position. He directly said that his ability is not good enough. It is all due to Ying Zheng's kindness, and he is willing to support him. This court junior.

"General Bai is too modest!"

Tian Ding looked at Bai Yan who didn't look complacent at all, and all his tentative moves turned into a sigh in his heart.

Tian Ding has seen a young and talented person, but he has never seen a second one in his life.

Just like Xunzhou back then, his words were humble, but his eyes were full of pride, none of which could be hidden from Tian Ding's eyes.

not to mention.

At that time, Xunzhou was much older than the boy in front of him!

In the inner hall, Tian Ding turned his head, looked at the exaggerated wooden window to the side, and looked at the scenery outside.

"I heard that the little girl gave General Bai something belonging to her deceased mother before. I wonder if General Bai can take it with her?"

While Tian Ding was speaking, he looked at Bai Yan.

Then, under Tian Ding's gaze, Bai Yan nodded, and took out the jade pendant from his official uniform.

"Miss Tian gave this thing to Bai Yan. Before giving it, Miss Tian told Bai Yan about the origin of the jade pendant, and asked Bai Yan to keep it safe, so Bai Yan never let this thing leave her body."

While talking, Bai Yan looked at the jade pendant in his hand.

Looking at this jade pendant that has been with him for more than two years and helped him a lot, Bai Yan is full of memories. Recalling that when he was in Linzi, Tian Feiyan turned around and squatted down, took it out of his clothes and handed it to him. Never left him.

No matter where it is, whether it is training in Lantian or going to the battlefield.

After feeling emotional in his heart, Bai Yan raised his head and looked at Tian Ding. He would not hide the matter of the jade pendant from Tian Ding, nor would he find a reason not to carry it with him, because at this time Tian Feiyan gave it to him, and he always cared about it.

"Since my daughter gave it to General Bai, Tian Ding will not say anything more. This is one of the few things that my deceased wife gave to my daughter. I hope General Bai will not throw it away in the future!"

Tian Ding looked at the jade pendant, and then at the frank and frank boy's face, but finally did not take back the jade pendant.

In fact, before coming here, even before opening his mouth, Tian Ding still had the idea of ​​taking back his dead wife's jade pendant, but seeing the frank young man standing in front of him holding the jade pendant, Tian Ding hesitated.

Recalling the words of Xunzhou and Lin Anshun in Luoyin City, and looking at the young man who was brought by Ying Zheng's side, Tian Ding thought about it, and finally decided not to take back the jade pendant.

"Bai Yan begrudgingly, can Mr. Tian tell Bai Yan something about Mrs. Tian and Miss Tian?"

Seeing Tian Ding asking about the jade pendant, Bai Yan was also relieved. After putting away the jade pendant, he looked at Tian Ding who was looking sideways at the scenery outside the window, hesitating for a while, and still asked softly.

"General Bai is the general of Qin, a descendant of the Bai family, why ask these trifles?"

When Tian Ding heard Bai Yan's words, he glanced at Bai Yan, turned his head and continued to look out the window, reminding both inside and outside of the words that Bai Yan's question was meaningless, Bai Yan was from Qin, a child of the Bai family, and Qin country general.

"I heard~!"

Just as Bai Yan was about to speak, there was movement from outside the inner hall.

Seeing this, both Bai Yan and Tian Ding stopped talking.

"Kings!"

"Kings!!"

Following the voices of the two maids outside the door, Ying Zheng appeared in front of Bai Yan and Tian Ding, and walked into the study.

"Kings!"

Bai Yan raised his hand and saluted Ying Zheng.

"Free gift!"

Ying Zheng walked past Bai Yan, and then went to the throne in the inner hall.

"Qi envoy Tian Ding, met King Qin!"

At this time, Tian Ding was facing Ying Zheng, and slowly arrived.

"The envoy of Qi asked to see the widow today, but something happened?"

Ying Zheng looked at Tian Ding and asked curiously, looking straight at Tian Ding.

When Tian Ding saw Ying Zheng's eyes, he didn't do anything, but chuckled lightly.

"Tian Ding heard that there was an assassin assassinating General Bai last night, so he was worried about King Qin's safety, so he came to the palace to ask to see King Qin!"

Tian Ding cupped his hands to Ying Zheng and said.

"It's Lao Qi who bothers me!"

Ying Zheng looked at Tian Ding and said with a smile.

"The widow has already ordered all the officials in Xianyang to conduct a strict search in the city. The Qi envoy need not worry! It will not take long to find out who the assassin is."

Ying Zheng looked at Tian Ding, and Tian Ding also looked at Ying Zheng.

As Ying Zheng's words fell, Tian Ding put away his smile and saluted Ying Zheng with a serious face.

"Tian Ding is not worried that the assassins will plot against Tian Ding, but he is worried that someone dares to assassinate General Bai in Xianyang, the state of Qin, and he took advantage of the night to do it when General Bai left the palace."

While Tian Ding was speaking, he looked up at Ying Zheng.

"Those who can accomplish this must surely be powerful and powerful in Qin State!"

Tian Ding looked at Ying Zheng word by word and said.

Bai Yan stood aside, listening to Tian Ding's words, looked at Tian Ding calmly, a little surprised that Tian Ding would react so quickly.

However, Bai Yan is not worried about Tian Ding's awakening. It doesn't matter whether Tian Ding guesses or not, what matters is the result. Tian Ding can't leave Qin, at least right now without Ying Zheng's permission, Tian Ding can't leave Xianyang privately .

"What does Qi envoy want to say to the widow this time?"

Ying Zheng looked at Tian Ding, put away his smile, and asked.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Qin State couldn't turn against Qin State right now, Ying Zheng wouldn't care about Tian Ding's identity at all.

"King Qin, don't misunderstand. What I said today is not provocative, but worrying. I am worried that the next person in Qin State to assassinate King Qin may not be Yan Dan, but Qin people! Minister of Qin State!"

Tian Ding saw a little anger in Ying Zheng's eyes, and he didn't panic, but stated the purpose of this trip.

"Wang Jian? What does Qi envoy mean?"

When Ying Zheng heard Tian Ding's words, he looked at Tian Ding meaningfully, a little surprised, and also curious about what Tian Ding wanted to say.

"Before, General Teng led the troops to destroy Han, and Han was only a county. However, I heard that General Teng had the same prestige in Qin State. Why?"

While Tian Ding was speaking, he held his back with one hand and raised the other, like a lobbyist speaking his mind while walking slowly with his head bowed.

"Without him, it's just annihilation of the country!"

Tian Ding said this, stopped and looked at Ying Zheng.

"What is the destruction of a country, the destruction of a country's community, the destruction of a country's temple, the capture of a country's king, who did this, how many people destroyed the country in the Qin State in the past? Looking at the stream of Shang Yang, looking at the people who rose up all over the world in the past Generation, there is no act of destroying the country yet!"

Tian Ding's words resounded loudly in the inner hall.

Neither Ying Zheng nor Bai Yan interrupted, but continued to look at Tian Ding and continue talking.

"Tian Ding dare to ask King Qin, as far as Qin is concerned, which one is stronger and weaker than Bai Qi's achievements in defeating the six kingdoms in the past?"

Tian Ding looked at Ying Zheng.

Hearing Tian Ding's words, Ying Zheng thought for a while, then shook his head slowly.

"It's all due to Qin, they can't be said in the same way!"

Ying Zheng said softly, because of being the King of Qin, Ying Zheng would naturally not lean to that side. If this is spread, it will definitely have an impact on the generals in the court in the future.

Therefore, Ying Zheng chose not to respond to Tian Ding's words.

However, to Ying Zheng's surprise, Tian Ding laughed when he heard his answer.

"Then dare to ask the King of Qin, if it is the achievement of destroying the two countries?"

Tian Ding looked at Ying Zheng and asked slowly again.

After Tian Ding's voice fell, Ying Zheng looked at Tian Ding calmly.

"What does the envoy Qi mean?"

Ying Zheng's complexion has changed a little, but looking at Tian Ding, he still asked lightly.

Tian Ding naturally knew what his actions just now represented, but since Tian Ding came in front of Ying Zheng, he would naturally not be timid.

"General Teng is only South Korea, which led the Qin army to destroy a county. Even if it has such momentum, then South Korea is stronger than Zhao State. Compared with Wang Shang, he must be clear. Now, the Qin State has been defeated several times before. The State of Zhao was destroyed by Wang Jian. Dare to ask the King of Qin, if the State of Yan was destroyed by Wang Jian again, Wang Jian's contribution could surpass that of Bai Qi, and the death of Bai Qi in the past, the King of Qin was magnanimous, so Wang Jian!!! ! But have you forgotten?"

Tian Ding was talking, and when he said the rest, not only his speech speed increased, but also he looked indignant.

in the inner hall.

Tian Ding's voice disappeared, but his words were not only heard by Bai Yan and Ying Zheng, even the eunuchs serving Ying Zheng and the maid outside the door could clearly hear them.

The eunuchs and maids all lowered their heads and remained motionless, not daring to take a big breath, their foreheads already covered with sweat.

As long as you don't live in the deep mountains and old forests, not only the Qin people are familiar with Bai Qi's affairs, but also the people all over the world have heard of it. Back then, Bai Qi led the army for the Qin State and made great achievements in the battlefield, but the result was It was bestowed to death by King Zhaoxiang.

This incident has already spread all over the world and is well known to the world.

Hearing the words in the inner palace right now, the eunuch and the maid felt terrified.

"Emissary Qi is trying to sow discord?"

After a long time, Ying Zheng's voice sounded slowly.

But looking inside the door, unexpectedly, Ying Zheng was not angry because of Tian Ding's words, and still had the same face from the beginning.

"Back to King Qin, just now Tian Ding said that it wasn't Tian Ding who provoked him, but Tian Ding was worried about the safety of King Qin. Now that Qi and Qin have a good relationship, Tian Ding naturally hopes that King Qin will be safe, otherwise there will be turbulent changes in the relationship between Qi and Qin. !"

Tian Ding bowed to Ying Zheng.

After the ceremony, Tian Ding looked at Ying Zheng.

"King Qin, just listen to Tian Ding, if 30 years ago, Bai Qi led the army outside! The order of King Zhaoxiang, I am afraid that Bai Qi's death did not end well!"

After Tian Ding finished speaking, he shook his head.

Throughout the whole process, Tian Ding reminded Ying Zheng to be careful of Wang Jian and the Wang family. In case Wang Jian supported himself and even attacked Qin, or even deliberately sent assassins to assassinate Ying Zheng, this kind of thing is not common among the countries. Not uncommon, even in the State of Qin, shortly after the death of Dang Hu in Bai Qi, Fan Ju's benefactor, Zheng Ping'an, led [-] Qin troops to surrender to the State of Zhao.

"The envoy of Lao Qi is worried. As far as I am concerned, General Wang Jian is the pillar of the Qin State, and the Wang family is a generation of Qin generals. I firmly believe that the envoy of Qi does not need to worry!"

Ying Zheng looked at Tian Ding's appearance, and said loudly and boldly. In his words, there was trust in Wang Jian and the Wang family.

Seeing this, Tian Ding showed a look of helplessness in his eyes.

"Since the king of Qin is like this, it is Tian Ding's slip of the tongue. If the king of Qin doesn't believe what he said today, Tian Ding naturally has nothing to say. Now that it is okay to see the king of Qin, Tian Ding will leave first!"

Tian Ding clapped his hands to Ying Zheng and made the ceremony. After the ceremony, he looked at Ying Zheng who said nothing, turned and walked towards the outside of the inner hall.

The eunuch waiting outside the hall saw Tian Ding and hurriedly led Tian Ding.

in the inner hall.

In an instant, Bai Yan and Ying Zheng were left.

"That Tian Ding, actually tried his best to drive a wedge between the widow and you, and used methods again and again!"

Ying Zheng got up and said to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan, who had been silent just now, immediately bowed his hands in salute when he heard Ying Zheng's words.

Tian Ding's purpose today seems to be aimed at Wang Jian and the Wang family, but in fact, it is to drive a wedge between him and Ying Zheng. Bai Yan knows that if he is really a child of the Bai family, Tian Ding said those words just now to his face. Although there wasn't even a single sentence pointing at him, Bai Yan, but both inside and outside the words reminded him and Ying Zheng how Bai Qi died.

This is to sow dissension face to face. If it were any of the Bai family's children, I'm afraid that he would be impatient just now, and thus his emotions would be influenced by Tian Ding. Even Ying Zheng would inevitably have some invisible estrangement in his heart.

"If you hadn't asked the widow, I would have really wanted to tell Tian Dingru about myself just now!"

Before Ying Zheng left, he looked at Bai Yan and said with a smile.

"Thank you, my lord, for concealing it!"

Bai Yan cupped his hands to Ying Zheng and said.

"The widow will one day tell him personally!"

While Ying Zheng was speaking, he walked past Bai Yan, telling Bai Yan not to let him down in the future.

Bai Yan, who was facing Yingzheng's compilation ceremony, watched Yingzheng leave, and followed him. There was still a lot of bamboo and silk in the study room, so naturally he couldn't go back now.

But after leaving the inner hall.

When Bai Yan followed Ying Zheng and was walking on the main hall, he turned his head and glanced at the empty main hall gate, which was the direction Tian Ding left just now.

To be honest, if Bai Yan was not very afraid of Tian Ding because he was not a child of the Bai family before, then seeing Tian Ding's behavior of ignoring Ying Zheng's anger just now made Bai Yan understand why there are so many people in Qin State , are afraid of Tian Ding, even though this is Qin State, not Qi State.

Even though he was not a child of the Bai family, Tian Ding's act of sowing discord just now did not make the relationship between him and Ying Zheng flawed.

But Bai Yan had a vague premonition.

What Tian Ding just said has already had some influence on Ying Zheng and Wang Jian. Although it is slight, it is real.

thought here.

When Bai Yan thought that Tian Ding would know his true identity one day, he couldn't help but worry.
