Qin Gong

When Bai Yan returned to Bai Yu's mansion, it was already late at night.

However, in the study, Uncle Bai and the others still did not sleep, and they were all relieved to see Bai Yan come back.

"Where are you going today? You're only coming back now!"

When Bai Yu saw Bai Yan came back, he asked with a smile, the smile on his face was completely different from before, which actually made Bai Yan a little uncomfortable.

After all, in Bai Yan's eyes, Bai Yu treated him like a kid, and his words and deeds were always straightforward. What's the meaning of this smile?
"Go to Qi's embassy today, and see my friend Rui Wei later!"

After Bai Yan made a salute to everyone, he looked at Bai Yu suspiciously.

"Rui Wei?"

When Uncle Bai and Bai Yan heard Bai Yan's words, they remembered that this Rui Wei was a servant, a son of the Rui family.

But I heard that Bai Yan went to the embassy of Qi State today.

thought here.

Bai Bo looked at Bai Yan.

"I received the news today. I heard that Tian Ding seems to have been looking for someone during this time, and I don't know who he is looking for!"

Uncle Bai said, shaking his head slightly, his eyes full of doubts.

Although this is Xianyang, Tian Ding, as a clan member of Qi State, also has a lot of connections in Xianyang, so Tian Ding's whereabouts have been kept secret, and his purpose is even more difficult to figure out. information.

"For Tian Ding to find, I am afraid that this person must be extremely important to Tian Ding. It is a pity that Tian Ding is careful, and the chances of finding out who Tian Ding is looking for are slim."

Bai Yan also sighed.

Previously, Tian Ding repeatedly tripped Bai Yan secretly, and openly separated Bai Yan in the court of the Qin State. Although Mr. Hu protected Bai Yan that day, for the Bai family, the relationship with Tian Ding was already considered a settlement. revenge.

Therefore, even if Tian Ding is not secretly plotting against Bai Yan, if there is a chance, the Bai family will naturally not want Tian Ding to go his way.

"Boy, who taught you how to set up the Luoyin game?"

When Bai Yu saw his two elder brothers talking about Tian Ding, he didn't take it seriously. If Tian Ding was so easy to deal with, and so easy to know his purpose, then he wouldn't be a dreadful Tian Ding. Compared with Tian Ding now, , he is more concerned about Luoyin's affairs.

"Thanks to the previous several inquiries, you boy didn't say anything!"

While Bai Yu was talking, he picked up the bamboo slips on the table and waved them at Bai Yan with a smile on his face.

"Before I went to Qin Road, I saw two merchants crossing the river and arguing about the money. After crossing the river, I went to the restaurant and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to win the beauty for a smile. I just remembered it for a while! It's not a legend of a famous teacher!"

Bai Yan heard Bai Yu's mention of Luo Yin, looked at the bamboo slips in Bai Yu's hand, and immediately knew that the news from Luo Yin had been sent, and he didn't hide it when he saw it, so he just found a reason to explain it.

"You kid thought it yourself?"

When Bai Yu heard Bai Yan's words, his eyes widened, he was a little puzzled, and he looked at Bai Yan in disbelief.

Seeing this, Bai Yan looked down at himself with some doubts, and then looked at Bai Yan. He didn't understand what Bai Yu's expression was like, why couldn't he think it up?
Day two.

At the end of the day, in the study of the Xianyang Palace, Bai Yan and Ying Zheng, who had been resting for a day, were about to face a surge in workload after the break.

Although not going to court, the affairs of the counties and counties of the entire Qin State can still be continuously sent to Xianyang.

Bai Yan is fine, so I will help to present the bamboo silk, and after Yingzheng has dealt with it, put it away, and some things that need to be remembered will also be remembered in my heart. It is Yingzheng who is tired, looking at Yingzheng's busy appearance , Bai Yan felt emotionally, and luckily Ying Zheng's physique is not bad, otherwise his body would have collapsed long ago.

"Your Majesty, a secret letter from Chu State overnight!"

An eunuch held a piece of rolled cloth, walked into the study with small steps, and said to Yingzheng Jili.

Seeing this, Bai Yan walked up to the eunuch, picked up the secret letter from the eunuch, and handed it to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng heard that it was the news from Chu State overnight, and he knew it was not a trivial matter, so he put down the bamboo slips in his hand, took the secret letter and opened it to read it. After reading it, Ying Zheng raised his head, sighed, and handed the secret letter to Bai Yan.

"have a look!"

Ying Zheng said to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan looked into Ying Zheng's eyes and knew what Ying Zheng meant, so in front of Ying Zheng, he held a cloth and looked at it. Seeing the news that the King of Chu had died suddenly, his heart beat faster.

"Your Majesty, the state of Chu is about to fall into chaos!"

Bai Yan looked at Ying Zheng and said.

Regardless of the death of King Chu, for Qin, the death of King Chu also means that the situation of Chu and even the world will be affected. Before that, Qin State destroyed South Korea, Qin State destroyed Zhao, and even now Qin State sent troops to destroy Yan, has considered that the king of Chu has been seriously ill, and the state of Chu dare not send troops easily.

The sudden death of the dying king of Chu now means that there is a struggle within the Chu state, and the Chu state is in chaos until the next Chu king appears.

"Chu country!"

Ying Zheng got up, walked slowly to the window, and looked at the scene outside.

"Come here! Summon the left and right prime ministers, Wei, Guowei, and Tingwei to enter the palace to discuss matters!"

Ying Zheng shouted.

The eunuch who had been waiting in the distance hurriedly bowed to Yingzheng, and then slowly retreated.

"Bai Yan, in your eyes, is this the time to destroy Chu?"

Ying Zheng looked out the window and asked softly.

Although Bai Yan is young, Yingzheng is very aware of Bai Yan's ability to lead troops in battle, no less than other generals in the court, whether it is the military exploits made by Mie Hanli or the famous high-ranking generals. Bai Yan has never disappointed him in the first battle with slaves, even with Li Mu.

So right now, facing the sudden death of the King of Chu and the imminent turmoil of the Chu State, Ying Zheng could not restrain his excitement, so he chose to ask Bai Yan.

"Back to the king!"

Bai Yan stood beside the wooden table, listening to Ying Zheng's question, with a pensive expression on his face, and then bowed to Ying Zheng.

"I think that it is not yet the time to destroy Chu!"

Bai Yan spoke without much hesitation.

This surprised Ying Zheng standing by the window, surprised by Bai Yan's determination.

"Your Majesty, in the eyes of my ministers, there must be a war between Qin and Chu. If we take advantage of the sudden death of the King of Chu to attack Chu, it will only cause Chu, which was preparing for civil strife, to work together to deal with Qin. This will not be good for Qin. If at this time Once Qin State is caught in the war with Chu State, Wei State and Yan State will take the opportunity to take back their old land, and even help the exterminated Han and Zhao remnants to restore their country. Therefore, I think it is better to watch Chu State now In the great chaos, Qin State took the opportunity to destroy Yan and Wei, and after Qin annexed Yan and Wei, then destroyed Chu State! At that time, Qin State had enough time to send troops to destroy Chu State, not in one year for two years, but not in two years for three years! With the isolated and helpless Chu State, it can last for a few more years, and it can stop Qin State's successive attacks!"

Bai Yan spoke to Ying Zheng.

The first part is the analysis, and the latter part, Bai Yan knows that Ying Zheng is very excited at the moment, so what he said just now, Bai Yan knows that only in Ying Zheng's mind can he see that in the future Chu State will be defeated by Qin State. In the scene of death, Ying Zheng would easily give up the current temptation.

It has to be said that Bai Yan guessed correctly.

After some remarks, Ying Zheng, who was standing by the window, turned around and looked at Bai Yan.

What he said just now was not only well-founded, but the last remark pierced Ying Zheng's heart. It not only dispelled the idea of ​​sending troops to attack Chu State now, but also seemed to see the picture that the world will belong to Qin State in the future.

"The widow summoned those ministers, it feels like it's superfluous!"

Ying Zheng couldn't help but said with a smile.

At this moment, Yingzheng's expression was completely different from the dignified expression on seeing King Chu's sudden death just now.

"Chu is about to go into chaos, how about Qin?"

Ying Zheng looked at Bai Yan with a smile and asked.

Bai Yan bowed his hands to Ying Zheng.

"Let the state of Chu be in chaos, chaos, the more chaos the better, the longer the better!"

Bai Yan said.

Ying Zheng laughed out loud when he heard Bai Yan's words.

"Hahaha, Cai!"

After laughing, Ying Zheng looked at Bai Yan and believed in his own thoughts even more firmly in his heart. Although Bai Yan led the army, he was very reassuring to the State of Qin, and even to him, the King of Qin. There is no need to worry about the many nomadic tribes in the north going south.

But compared to Bai Yan's ability to lead the army, Ying Zheng paid more attention to Bai Yan's talent as an official.

If before the Luoyin incident, Bai Yan was talented and intelligent, Ying Zheng could understand that it was Tian Jin who preached, and Ying Zheng still agreed with Tian Jin's ability.

However, after the Luoyin Buzhao incident, Bai Yan's talent and knowledge and understanding of the situation made Yingzheng deeply realize that, as Tian Jin's apprentice, Bai Yan's talent and learning may have already surpassed that of his teacher Tian Jin.

Otherwise, if Tian Jineng and Bai Yan were able to seek the world with one city, how could Qi State still be the Qi State it is today!
Therefore.

As early as when he received Bai Yan's secret letter from Luoyin, after reading the news, Ying Zheng had already decided that he would take Bai Yan by his side in the future and be promoted to be a Zhongchang servant. Bai Yan took his place.

There are many generals in the court who can lead the army of the Qin State. Not to mention the generals under ten thousand, but there are Qiang Li, Wang Li, Li You, Li Xin, Meng Tian and others who are above ten thousand. The generals were all from famous families, and Wang Jian, Wang Ben, his father and son, Xin Sheng, Yang Duanhe, Feng Jie, Hu Jin and others with more than 10 people were too numerous to count.

It is indeed a rare good thing that there are more famous generals like Bai Yan in the Qin State, and the famous generals with clean backgrounds are indeed a rare good thing, and it can also reassure Ying Zheng, who is the King of Qin.

But Yingzheng knows better that what Qin lacks more now is great talents who can share his worries in the court. Wei Zhuang, Wang Wan, Feng Quji and others are all old, and others Speaking of the young school, even the middle-class school, there is no one who is embarrassed.

The appearance of Bai Yan made Yingzheng see a solution to Qin's predicament. Now that Qin has invaded and conquered Han and Zhao, it has aroused dissatisfaction among scholars all over the world. Talented ministers are scarce, looking at the young but outstanding Bai Yan, it is impossible for Ying Zheng to let Bai Yan lead the army.

With such a young Bai Yan, how could Yingzheng be willing to let him go to another place? Once Bai Yan had something wrong, Qin's predicament would inevitably repeat the same mistakes, and at that time, Qin would not have time.

"This time, the matter of the state of Chu will be handled by Mr. Changping!"

Ying Zheng sighed, and when he looked out the window again, although he no longer had the excitement and joy just now, it was much easier for Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, I think that maybe this time, we can take the opportunity to solve the chaos in Yingchuan together!"

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, Bai Yan cupped his hands and said to Ying Zheng.

"Yingchuan?"

Ying Zheng just relaxed for a few breaths, and when he heard Bai Yan's words, he frowned slightly, his face showing thought, and then immediately thought of the meaning of Bai Yan's words.

"You want to use Han Wang'an! Get rid of those gentry forces in Yingchuan in one fell swoop?"

Ying Zheng turned around and looked at Bai Yan again.

In just a short while, Bai Yan had already surprised Ying Zheng twice. Seeing Bai Yan nodding his head to compose the ceremony, Ying Zheng's eyes were full of smiles.

Bai Yan wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the Chu state and have no time to intervene in Yingchuan's affairs, so he could kill two birds with one stone by attacking Yingchuan, but what Bai Yan didn't know was that in Ying Zheng's eyes, this matter actually killed three birds with one stone, because In addition to Chu and Yingchuan, there is also the Chu family. Yingzheng has been planning this matter for two years.

After the demise of Korea two years ago, it was ordered to relocate Han Wangan to Yingchen, and preparations have already begun.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng is not in a hurry to tell Bai Yan about this right now. There are some things that Bai Yan needs to comprehend. hands on.

"After Huichang Pingjun, Wei Liao and others leave, you go and keep Li Si, I need to talk to Li Si alone if I have something to do!"

Ying Zheng ordered softly, and walked towards the desk, ready to continue dealing with business before Wei Liao and others arrived, otherwise there would be too much business backlog, and he would be even more busy in the future.

"promise!"

Bai Yan heard Ying Zheng's words and quickly took orders.

Yanmen is good at nothing.

With the passing of the dry season, the continuous rain for several months has continuously nourished the land, and everything is growing new, as if in the dark, it is God's compensation.

After sunset, as the seat of Yanmen County, Shanwu City is still quite lively. Although it is not as famous as Handan, Taoyi, Luoyang and other world-famous rich and prosperous places, it is still unique.

Because it is close to the northern grasslands, as many shops in Yanmen Shanwu City, it also has scenery that Luoyin and Handan do not have.

In Lu's restaurant.

As the sun sets, scholars and merchants who have been busy all day or all day come to the restaurant in groups.

For thousands of years, in addition to three meals a day, don't let men be satisfied. Once satisfied, they will become lustful. Whether it is among colleagues, merchants, or friends, there will always be a culture of drinking and sex.

"Have you heard? Yingzheng enfeoffed Luoyin, and as Bai Yan's fiefdom, he is Bai Yan, the county lieutenant here in Yanmen!"

"I've heard about this matter a long time ago. I've heard from people in Luoyin that after Bai Yan got the fiefdom, the three old noble families in Luoyin even joined forces to deal with Bai Yan, but later on."

Inside the room.

As several well-dressed middle-aged merchants gathered together, drinking and chatting with each other, Cen Qing obediently let the woman from the restaurant come in and pour wine for the guests.

Listening to what those rich businessmen said, and hearing the things about that young man, Cen Qing's eyes were full of twinkles.

manor! ! !

Even if she is a girl from a humble background, basically a small village, Cen Qing is very clear about the meaning of these two words. However, no matter how many heroes and talents, what they want in their life is nothing more than money and rights, but fiefs!But it is like Feng Jun, a dream that many men dream of but can't get.

For thousands of years, non-royal family members have entrusted their ancestors to Shangmengyin, how many people can get the king's reward and fiefdom.

But that boy did it!

If it wasn't for this period of time, ten, twenty, tens of hundreds of guests would all be talking about this matter, and Cen Qing would not believe what she said. The boy in the water village back then has now been granted a fiefdom by the king.

Cen Qing was in a trance after hearing about the fief.

Thinking back to those villagers who laughed at the young man in the water village, and in my own village, when talking about the young man, the older elders, even those respected old men, laughed out loud.

"Beauty, can you sit down and have a drink with me!"

A businessman's words brought Cen Qing back to her senses, she looked at the confident middle-aged man who was looking at her with squinting eyes, and Cen Qing bowed to the man.

"Guests forgive me, Xi'er doesn't drink alcohol!"

Cen Qing said to the middle-aged wealthy businessman.

A long time ago, before the young man left, he didn't know what he had explained, but since then, Cen Qing discovered that the shopkeeper of the restaurant no longer allowed herself to accompany the wine, and was mostly in charge of welcoming guests and arranging private rooms.

Although he was busy, he didn't let other men take advantage of it. Compared to the time when he was busy working in the fields outside Linzi, this job was quite decent in Cen Qing's eyes. If he met generous guests, he would be happy and point out Maybe the guests will reward her with one or two coins.

"No drinking?"

Hearing Cen Qing's words, the middle-aged wealthy businessman frowned slightly, a little disappointed, and looked up and down the woman in front of him calmly. Although she was not stunning, she was young, but her figure was quite attractive, and she was different from other women. The taste is biased towards women.

This made the well-informed middle-aged wealthy businessman couldn't help but be taken aback, but he was a little surprised when he heard the woman's words.

"Brother Zhu, you don't know this! Miss Xi'er, if you don't drink with her, I don't know how many people are so greedy! You, don't even think about it hahahaha!"

"Hahahahahaha!!"

In the private room, other men laughed and joked one after another.

For these middle-aged men, it is normal to talk about women's sex, but for this Xi'er girl, everyone is really itchy.

This makes it even more tempting to take a bite.

Shanwu City.

In the prefect's mansion, Elder Wei was in the gazebo, listening to the report from the people behind him, with a pensive expression on his face.

And just after the servant left, Zhao Qiu walked from the courtyard to Elder Wei's side.

"Old Wei, there is news from Xianyang that Ying Zheng intends to take Bai Yan by his side!"

Standing beside Mr. Wei, Zhao Qiu looked at the scenery outside the gazebo. In the dim sunset, Zhao Qiu didn't feel beautiful, but felt a little irritable.

"Although Luoyin is good, but after all, it is in the hometown of Qin, so close to Xianyang, whether it is for us or him, it is not as good as this Yanmen!"

Zhao Qiu said softly.

Thinking of the layout of Luoyin, although people are in Yanmen, Zhao Qiu and Wei Lao have been paying attention to the situation in Luoyin, so when Bai Yan arrived in Luoyin to investigate the case, Zhao Qiu and Wei Lao Just received the message.

Then one thing after another is naturally clear.

"Don't worry, it won't! If you don't mention you and me, it's just worrying, and it's not suitable to go to Luoyin. That kid is not a person who will let others down!"

Hearing Zhao Qiu's words, Elder Wei reached out and took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve pocket, and handed it to Zhao Qiu.

Zhao Qiu took the cloth, looked at the contents, and breathed a sigh of relief after reading it.

"It's fine if you don't go to Luoyin!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Qiu turned around and walked towards the yard.

Old Wei turned his head to look at the back of Zhao Qiu leaving, and shook his head. Ever since he rejected Zhao Qiu's suggestion, Zhao Qiu has been depressed, and after learning from him some time ago that Bai Yan was in Luoyin, he treated him even more. The old man felt resentful.

"Tian Ding, Tian Ding! Now that you are in Xianyang, he is right in front of your eyes. Whether you can see clearly depends on yourself!"

Elder Wei continued to look back at the scenery outside the pavilion, looking at the direction of the setting sun, and then went a little south.

That direction is the direction of Xianyang in Qin State.
