Qin Gong

Chapter 449 News of Yanmen Great Victory

In Xianyang Palace, when Concubine Mi came to the study, as soon as she entered, she saw Concubine Qi beside Yingzheng.

Seeing Concubine Qi, Concubine Mi did not show a strange expression. In her eyes, in the palace, she was already very favored. If she could not tolerate her, she was really unworthy of Yingzheng's favor, let alone her son Fusu. .

Carrying the hot soup, she came to the study, walked to the wooden table and slowly knelt down, looked at Concubine Qi, Princess Mi smiled, nodded slightly as a salute, and did not disturb Ying Zheng, who was reviewing the bamboo and silk , reached out to bring out the hot soup in the wooden tray, and put it aside.

When she saw that Concubine Qi was about to abdicate, Princess Mi quickly looked at Concubine Qi, smiled and shook her head, signaling that Concubine Qi did not have to leave.

After getting up.

Concubine Mi glanced at Ying Zheng before turning around and leaving the study.

Concubine Qi followed Concubine Mi imperceptibly throughout the whole process. Looking at Concubine Mi, Concubine Qi knew that if Concubine Mi hadn't been persuading the King to send troops a few days ago, she would not have angered the King.

"Stay!"

Ying Zheng raised his head at some point, looked at Princess Mi who was about to leave, and said softly.

After finishing speaking, he continued to look down at the bamboo in his hand.

But at this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the study.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Yanmen!"

Outside the study, an eunuch reported.

With Ying Zheng's permission, an eunuch hurried to the study with a palace guard.

"Your Majesty! News from Yanmen!"

Gong Wei knelt on the ground, holding a scroll of bamboo and silk in both hands.

Hearing that it was Yanmen news, Ying Zheng's eyes showed a trace of worry and uneasiness, and he looked at the scroll of bamboo slips held by Gong Wei.

Seeing Ying Zheng's appearance, Princess Mi saw that she was the closest to the palace guard, so she walked up to the palace guard with small steps, gently took the bamboo slips with both hands, turned back to the wooden table, and handed them to Ying Zheng.

Concubine Mi watched Ying Zheng take over the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng's words these two days were still vivid in her memory, she already understood why Ying Zheng valued Bai Yan so much.

The gentry in the world are fierce. With the destruction of Han and the fall of Zhao and Qin's attack on Yan, the gentry of all countries have been secretly fighting against Qin. The root of it is that the officials who committed crimes were ordered to serve in Yingchuan for four years and then they were exonerated.

Behind every incident, it is the famous scholars who have left, and the scholars in the world who do not want to serve in Qin Dynasty.

The county magistrate is not the same as the county official. The county magistrate is not recommended by some elders in the village and transferred. Being able to serve as a county magistrate and manage a county in an orderly manner is definitely not something ordinary people can do.

Behind the deployment of troops to aid Yanmen, Yingzheng has decided to support Bai Yan to be the leader of Qin in the future.

wooden table.

Ying Zheng took the bamboo slips and quickly opened them with worried eyes, eager to know the current situation in Yanmen.

After the bamboo slips were opened, Ying Zhengzai looked at the contents carefully.

moment.

Ying Zheng's face changed drastically.

Seeing this, Concubine Mi and Concubine Qi had already thought about how to comfort Ying Zheng.

Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng suddenly looked ecstatic.

"Good! Great good!"

Ying Zheng looked at the contents of the bamboo slips over and over again, and after confirming them again and again, he was amazed again and again.

When putting down the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng's face was filled with joy, which was in stark contrast to his previous appearance.

"Your Majesty, there is good news from Yanmen?"

Princess Mi looked at Ying Zheng curiously.

Princess Mi can't remember how long Yingzheng hasn't laughed like this, half a month, a month, or longer, Princess Mi can't remember clearly, the bad news and some trivial things that Yingchuan received innumerable in the past made Yingzheng often show her face Anxiety and seriousness are the norm.

Without smiling, not to mention other concubines, even she is actually a little afraid of Ying Zheng.

After all, Ying Zheng's majesty is too impressive, and Ying Zheng, who is expressionless and frowning, makes people feel nervous spontaneously.

The news from Yanmen in the past few days has made Yingzheng even more emotionally unstable, irritable, and impulsive. If it wasn't for Chang Wenjun's orders, she would not bite the bullet and persuade Yingzheng.

Seeing Ying Zheng's appearance suddenly, Princess Mi had to wonder what kind of news could make Ying Zheng laugh so heartily.

"Yanmen wins! Baiyan wins!"

When Ying Zheng heard Princess Mi's question, he even forgot that he was a little annoyed because of Princess Mi's chatter.

At this moment, Ying Zheng was holding the bamboo slips, his face was full of joy.

As the King of Qin, Yang Duanhe of Yanmen had just informed Yanmen of danger a few days ago, and even prepared for the worst.

As a result, within two days, the news of Yanmen's great victory came.

Bai Yan led the side cavalry and killed more than [-] Xiongnu in the Yunzhong Mountains. Touman Shanyu of the Xiongnu was seriously injured by Bai Yan and fled northward without knowing his life or death.

A moment ago, Yingzheng was still worried about the safety of Yanmen, and even sent troops to help Yanmen. As for the attack on Yan, Yingzheng had already prepared the worst plan in his heart.

As a result, the next moment, the news that Bai Yan defeated the Xiongnu and killed more than [-] Huns was sent to him. This instant reversal caught people off guard. Can't control the excitement in my heart.

"Bai Yan!"

Thinking of the young man who left that day, Ying Zheng asked himself several times about the promise he had made, whether it was correct to let the young man return to Yanmen and not be by his side, and what to do if he was in danger, after all, when Bai Yan found out about the plundering and selling For one thing, he led troops to destroy Han and Zhao, and offended countless rebels.

But now, seeing the boy's good news, Ying Zheng's previous thoughts disappeared in an instant.

From leaving Xianyang to go straight to Yanmen, and then to the south of the Xiongnu, riding a big victory, Yanmen was in danger.

This may be the best answer!

"Great victory in Yanmen?"

When Princess Mi and Concubine Qi heard Ying Zheng's words, they looked at each other in surprise.

Didn't it mean that after the border cavalry split up and went south, the Xiongnu raided the Yunzhong Mountains, and the situation in Yanmen was already very dangerous?Why are you talking about the great victory in Yanmen now?

"Look, Aifei!"

Ying Zheng looked at the unbelievable appearance of Princess Mi and Concubine Qi, and smiled. When he saw the contents of the bamboo slips for the first time, he couldn't believe his eyes.

Who would have thought that Bai Yan would not only lead the side cavalry to defend Yanmen, but also severely attack the Xiongnu forces when he dispatched iron cavalry to aid Yishui.

After seeing Princess Mi accepting the bamboo slips, Yingzheng got up slowly. After learning that the Yanmen crisis had been resolved, Yingzheng's first reaction was not to write an edict, but to immediately chase after Lord Changwen and withdraw the transfer order from the three counties. But keenly aware of one thing.

Inside the study.

Coming to the extremely wide map, Ying Zheng stood beside the map, scanning the entire map in a daze.

After Bai Yan led the border riders to kill more than [-] Xiongnu, what Yingzheng saw was not only that the crisis in Yanmen was resolved, but also that Yingzheng saw the current situation in the entire north.

Yingzheng looked at Zhongshang County in the territory of the Qin State. There was a battle between the Gaonu and the Xiongnu and Baiyan, and tens of thousands of Xiongnu tribes died in the battle.

Subsequently
Yingzheng looked at the Yunshan pass north of Gaonu, where the Yuezhi once besieged and killed the defenders of the Xiongnu tribe, and tens of thousands of Huns died at the hands of the Yuezhi.

Immediately afterwards, the Xiongnu fought endlessly with the Yue clan, and now they fought against Bai Yan again in Yunzhong, and they were defeated.

Ying Zheng looked to the north at the territory of the Yue clan and the Huns, and then turned to look north of Yanmen.

"What! Bai Yan led the side cavalry and killed more than [-] Xiongnu!"

The exclamation of Princess Mi and Concubine Qi came from behind, Ying Zheng didn't turn his head, but looked at the eunuch waiting outside the study door.

"Come on!"

Ying Zheng shouted.

As the two eunuchs walked into the study, Princess Mi and Concubine Qi who were not far away had already read the bamboo slips, and their eyes were full of shock.

Especially Princess Mi, although she knew that Bai Yan was very good at leading troops, she never expected that Bai Yan could still lead the border cavalry to defeat the Xiongnu in such a dangerous situation in Yanmen, and even the leader of the Xiongnu tribe, Tou Manchanyu , after fighting with Bai Yan, they still don't know whether they are alive or dead.

At this moment, Princess Mi looked at the study in front of her, and suddenly came to her mind, the young man who was in this study and would silently follow Ying Zheng every day, walking back and forth on the bookshelf, that seemingly introverted, harmless to humans and animals Thin boy.

"Pass the widow's order to summon Li Si, Wei Liao, and Kai Zhuang immediately."

Ying Zheng's voice sounded.

Concubine Mi recovered from her thoughts and looked at Ying Zheng with a happy expression. night.

After seeing the eunuch leave, Princess Mi stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, since General Bai has won a great victory, there is no need for Yanmen to rush to help!"

Princess Mi came to Yingzheng's side and reminded softly that after all, Lord Changwen had left Xianyang for two days.

Ying Zheng nodded when he heard the words, looked at the map, and now only needed the detailed situation of the Xiongnu, Bai Yan's big victory, for the Qin State, was not just about the safety of a single Yanmen.

However, Ying Zheng also knew that in the future, the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu had to be clarified, and detailed investigations had to be arranged.

"The two concubines think that Bai Yan has won a great victory, what should I give you?"

Ying Zheng suddenly remembered something, turned his head and looked at Concubine Mi and Concubine Qi with a smile.

After the rejoicing, Ying Zheng naturally thought of rewarding Bai Yan, after all, Bai Yan is real and has made great contributions to the state of Qin.

"You can be rewarded with a thousand gold! Beauty attendants! I heard that Bai Yan's mansion is under construction, why don't you give me another mansion, Your Majesty!"

Princess Mi thought for a while and said softly.

Money, beauties, and mansions, these are pleasant rewards, and no one in the world can avoid them.

And as Princess Mi finished speaking.

Concubine Qi listened to Princess Mi's words, and Princess Mi had already mentioned the mansion of the rich beauty, she thought for a while, looked at Ying Zheng and said softly.

"Your Majesty, I just said something on bamboo and silk. Bai Yan pierced his back with a sword, and the Xiongnu guarded him. Shan Yu fled north with his sword in his hands. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead! It must be that the most likely thing that General Bai lacks now is a saber!"

After Concubine Qi finished speaking, she looked at Ying Zheng.

As for Concubine Qi's words, Ying Zheng suddenly turned his head and looked at Concubine Qi with an unexpected smile.

"good!"

Ying Zheng replied with joy.

Comparing the money and jewelry, the mansion of the beauty, and the words of the concubine Qi, Yingzheng's eyes are brightened. The sword has high and low value. Since ancient times, the meaning of the sword is not only the body of the sword, but even its source is very important.

And compared to rewarding money and beauties, not mentioning the merits of Bai Yan, just recalling that Bai Yan sacrificed his life to stand in front of him in Xianyang Hall, Ying Zheng now prefers to give it to Bai Yan. Yan a saber.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng turned around and gave orders to the eunuch outside.

Concubine Mi looked at Concubine Qi in surprise, and Concubine Qi smiled at Concubine Mi.

After half an hour.

The eunuchs in the study came to the study one by one, and the two of them held a sword stand. On the ancient wooden frame above the sword stand, there were exquisite sabers of different lengths and shapes.

Looking at Zhubo, Yingzheng saw a pair of treasured swords in the past, and slowly got up.

Walking around the wooden table, he looked at the many swords in front of him.

Xiaolian, Chengying, and Hanguang, these three swords, were once hidden by Wei Renzhou, and then presented to Qin State by Wei Junjiao.

Gongbu and Longyuan, these two swords were forged by Ou Yezi and Gan Jiang, his master and apprentice, for the king of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period. They are famous swords in the world.

Looking at the more than twenty sabers in front of him, Ying Zheng hesitated, not knowing which one would be better.

As for the Tai'a sword hanging on the wall, it is not in Yingzheng's choice. Tai'a is after Qin King's sword was held by the clan, and successive Qin kings entrusted the clan ministers to assist the servants of the Qin King. Tai'a gradually became the Qin King. saber.

Thinking of giving Bai Yan a sword as a gift, Ying Zheng felt a little troubled.

"Aifei thinks, among the many swords, which one is suitable for Bai Yan?"

Ying Zheng thought about it, and when he thought this one was good, he felt that the other one was also good, and the meaning behind it was unusual.

Hesitation comes and goes, but in the end it is not a good choice.

In the study, seeing Ying Zheng's eyes, Princess Mi didn't rush to answer, but turned to look at Concubine Qi, and gave the opportunity to Concubine Qi first. After all, if Concubine Qi hadn't mentioned the saber just now, she wouldn't have noticed Bai Yan The thing about the missing sword.

Ying Zheng saw that Princess Mi was looking at Concubine Qi, so he also looked at Concubine Qi.

Concubine Qi saw the eyes of Ying Zheng and Princess Mi, then looked at the many swords in front of her, and finally hesitated for a while, her eyes were on a black sword.

"Back to the king! The concubine thinks that Zhanlu is the first choice!"

Concubine Qi said.

"Zhanlu?"

Concubine Mi was very surprised when she heard Concubine Qi's words, and then looked at the sword among the many swords, the one with a dark body. She knew that Yingzheng had said before that the sword was Li Mu's sword. After Li Mu died, Guo Kai sent people to Xianyang.

According to legend, the Zhanlu was cast by Ou Yezi and his wife and daughter in the mountains at the beginning. It is clear and clear. The way, the sword is on the side, the country is prosperous, the king has no way, the sword is flying away, and the country is ruined.

There are too many legends on Zhanlu's dark sword.

The most famous one is that when the king of Yue got Zhanlu, he regarded it as a national treasure. However, when Yue was attacked by Wu, King Yunchang of Yue dedicated the sword of Zhanlu to King Liao of Wu. In the hands of Helu, Helu, who had always collected countless famous swords, loved Zhanlu very much when he saw him, and kept him with him all day long.

Later, Helu was cruel and innocent. According to legend, one day Zhanlu left Helu by himself and went to the king of Chu. Zhanlu's sword of benevolence was spread all over the world.

But in the end, when King Helu of Wu heard that Zhanlu Sword was in Chu State, he was furious for a while, launched a war, and took back the sword from Chu State.

In these hundreds of years, Zhanlu has gone through many twists and turns. It is said that it was held by the royal family of Zhou, and later the famous Zhang Zi Zhang Yi also held it. However, when King Qin Wu succeeded to the throne, Zhang Yi returned to Wei State and ended. Li Mu sent Zhan Lu to Zhao State and handed it over to Li Mu. After seeing Zhan Lu, Li Mu, who had always been stubborn, fell in love with him very much and couldn't refuse.

After Li Mu died, he was sent to Xianyang by Guo Kai to present to Yingzheng.

"Zhanlu!"

When Yingzheng heard what Concubine Qi said, he also looked at the sword Zhanlu in surprise. Indeed, in terms of background, Zhanlu was forged by Ou Yezi. Many legends are related to this sword, and because he wants to take back this sword, Wu and Chu fought.

If Yingzheng was still a little confused at the beginning, why did Concubine Qi say that this sword was the most suitable for Bai Yan? It was only when she recalled the battle between Wu and Chu that she suddenly realized that because of this sword, Chu and Wu fought, and because of this sword The sword is called the sword of benevolence.

Thinking of Bai Yan, thinking of Concubine Qi's intentions.

"color!"

Ying Zheng said with a smile, looking at the Zhan Lu and nodded.

Zhanlu, but it is really a precious sword. When he saw Zhanlu at the beginning, he couldn't put it down. If Tai'a hadn't been the sword of King Qin, he would have chosen Zhanlu to wear it among many swords.

Thinking of Zhang Yi, the famous Prime Minister of Qin, who also held it before, Ying Zheng felt relieved, after all, why didn't he hope that Bai Yan would eventually become a prime minister of Qin in the future.

"Come on, leave Zhanlu behind, and put the rest of the swords back in place!"

Ying Zheng ordered.

"promise!"

"promise!!"

The eunuchs who had been waiting respectfully all nodded their heads to accept the order, and then carefully moved the sword seat again.

Han Yezhe and Princess Mi looked motionless at the moment. The dark Zhanlu was placed in the study. From Yingzheng's plan to give Zhanlu to Bai Yan, they couldn't see that Yingzheng Looking forward to Bai Yan.

Inside the study.

As the eunuch carried the sword away, time passed slowly and learned that Li Si, Kui Zhuang and other ministers had arrived at the palace. Naturally, Concubine Qi and Concubine Mi did not dare to disturb Yingzheng anymore. The harem did not participate in politics. This is what Ying Zheng said himself.

"Kings!"

"Kings!!"

Li Si, Kai Zhuang, Wang Wan, Wei Liao and others came to the study one after another.

But standing in the empty study room, standing next to the huge map, Li Si and the others saw Ying Zheng who was handling the bamboo and silk behind the wooden table in the innermost part of the study room, and also noticed that visiting the separate sword seat on the ground, on the sword seat, It was a dark but exquisite saber.

"The whole body is dark, and the sword is like human eyes. Zhan Lu!"

Wei Liao guessed the saber first, then looked at Li Si.

Li Si, Wang Wan and the others also nodded when they heard Wei Liao's words, with a look of surprise on their cheeks. They had heard that Zhan Lu was in the Xianyang Palace before, and they regretted that they had no chance to see the legendary famous sword , I didn't expect that right now, being able to see it with my own eyes is finally seeing it with my own eyes.

"Disciple Wen Guigu, Minister Zhang Zi of Qin used to own this sword! It's a pity, alas."

Li Si stared intently at the sword placed on the wooden table, and finally took a deep breath, seeming a little regretful, but when he looked at Ying Zheng, there was rarely a trace of longing in his eyes.

Wei Liao, Kui Zhuang and the others were not surprised when they saw Li Sihan's eyes.

There are many legends about Zhanlu, not to mention the world-famous Qin Xiang Zhang Yi, who once held Zhanlu.

All the people in the world, no matter the dignitaries and merchants, like to wear swords, and they are always proud of wearing swords. Among the swords that have been handed down to this day, even princes and dignitaries can hardly find a sword that was forged by the famous Ou Yezi himself.

Not to mention Li Si, how many famous scholars and ministers in the world have dreamed of getting this sword all their lives.

"Free gift!"

Seeing that Li Si and others had come to the study, Ying Zheng put down the bamboo and silk, slowly got up and walked around the wooden table, came among several ministers, looked at the map, and pointed to Yanmen.

"Just now there is news from Yanmen!"

When Ying Zheng said this, he looked at the ministers beside him.

When Li Si, Wei Liao and others heard the news about Yanmen, they all looked at Ying Zheng with serious faces, but for some reason, Li Si and others suddenly found that when mentioning Yanmen, Ying Zheng seemed to be smiling a little.

How is this going?

Under the puzzled eyes of Li Si and others, Ying Zheng looked at them.

"The Huns have already retreated. Bai Yan led the side cavalry and killed more than [-] Huns in the Yunzhong Mountains. The leader of the Huns, Tou Manchanyu, was seriously injured and fled to the north. His life and death are unknown."

Ying Zheng said.

A word fell, instantly.

Li Si, Wei Liao, Wang Wan and the others all raised their heads in an instant, opened their eyes, and looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief.
