Qin Gong

Chapter 450 Li Si's Advice

The Xiongnu retreated, and the life and death of the leader was unknown!
In the quiet study room, following Ying Zheng's words, Li Si, Wei Liao, Wang Wan and others were all in a state of mind, never expecting to hear such news.

Who could have imagined that the Huns' army going south would end up like this in the end.

"Your Majesty! Are you sure this news came from Yanmen?"

Li Si pondered a little, bowing his hands to Ying Zheng to salute.

Upon hearing Li Si's question, Ying Zheng ordered Han Yezhe to come over with the bamboo slips and hand them over to Li Si and others for viewing.

After a while.

After reading the bamboo slips sent by Yanmen, Li Si, Wei Liao and others looked at each other, and they could still see the surprise in each other's eyes. Except for the chaos of the Yue clan, they did not expect that in this battle, Yanmen Riding, so brave in Bai Yan's hands.

At this moment, all the ministers inadvertently saw Zhan Lu on the sword seat not far from the study, and it was not clear why it was there.

Obviously, the king is going to reward Bai Yan!
"Now the Xiongnu and the Yue clan are seriously injured, and they will definitely be unable to go south in three to five years!"

Kai Zhang looked at the huge map spread on the ground in front of him at this moment, turned his head to look at Ying Zheng, and raised his hand in salute.

"Your Majesty, the destruction of Wei is just around the corner!"

In the short words of Wei Xiang, he directly expressed his thoughts on destroying Wei in the future.

Ying Zheng nodded when he heard what Kai said, and looked at the map.

"The widow called you into the palace today because I want to talk about this matter!"

Ying Zheng didn't hide his ambition from Li Si, Kui Zhuang and others, and directly stated his ambition to destroy Wei!

Ying Zheng pointed to the map of Handan County to the north of Wei State, Yingchuan County to the west of Wei State, and the Xiongnu territory to the north of Yanmen.

"The most important thing now is to find out the situation of the Yueshi and the Xiongnu. When the time is right, I can order Yingchuan and Yanmen to send troops to attack Wei from the west and north."

Ying Zheng said.

When mentioning the extermination of Wei, Ying Zheng's eyes showed excitement and excitement.

In less than three years, Han was first followed by Zhao, and now Yan is about to be destroyed. If Wei can be destroyed as soon as possible, only Chu and Qi will be left in front of Qin in this world.

Qi State keeps fighting against the city walls, Chu State is now fighting for the king and power!
Qin ruled the world, and the long-cherished wish of the Qin kings of all dynasties was about to come true in the hands of Ying Zheng.

"Kings!"

After Li Si, Wang Wan and the others came back to their senses, seeing Ying Zheng's appearance, Li Si thought for a while and bowed his hands.

Under Ying Zheng's gaze, Li Si thought for a while and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, there are not enough officials in Qin State now. Even if Yan is exterminated, it may be difficult to fill the vacancies of officials!"

Lis said.

Following Li Si's words, Wei Liao and Wang Wan showed concern. What is lacking most in Qin State is not brave soldiers and generals who attack cities and lands, but officials.

Qin State has been unable to transfer officials to go to the places it just conquered. To be able to serve as an official in Qin State, apart from the ability to manage a city (county) in an orderly manner, the most important point is to know one thing. Article Qin law.

The law of Qin is needed for investigation and conviction, and the law of Qin is also needed for logging and picking leaves.

As a legalist, Li Si knew very well that a place without Qin officials and laws would be unstable.

And Li Si, who is the Ting Wei, is also more aware that the officials Qin can call are far from enough. In the past two years or so, the speed of Qin's annexation of the world is too fast, so fast that even if he participated in the plan to destroy the six countries Li Si didn't expect that.

"If the original officials continue to be appointed, I am afraid that the matter of Peng Yi and Guo Yi will appear in other places in the future."

When Li Si said this, he looked at the huge map beside him, and looked at the patterned characters drawn one by one on it.

"What's more, if Qin destroys Yan and Wei, and there are no officials stationed there, as far as Qi and Chu are concerned, it will be at their fingertips!"

Li Si looked at Qi and Chu, and after two breaths, he looked at Yingzheng.

In the study, because of Li Si's words, it became quiet again.

Ying Zheng's original excited expression no longer existed at this moment, and it was rare to see joy on his face, and he frowned again at this time.

The vacancy of officials has always been Yingzheng's heart disease.

Ying Zheng looked at the map in front of him, and when he set his eyes on the territory of Qi State, there was a kind of anger in his eyes. There are so many scholars in the world, but no one is willing to serve Qin State. Most of them are in Qi State.

Recall that Mao Jiao mentioned the number of scholars in Qi State
"Can the widow destroy Qi first?"

Ying Zheng looked at the territory of Qi State and asked softly.

"Your Majesty, don't do it! Although Qi has no battles, does not repair its wars, and does not repair its cities, for decades, Qi's population has risen and fallen, and its national power has become rich. If Qin attacked by force, the gains outweighed the losses. Chu State."

Wei Liao was taken aback when he heard Ying Zheng's thoughts, and hurriedly cupped his hands to persuade him.

Wei Liao also knew that Ying Zheng was irritated by those rebels in Yingchuan at first, and now that the gentry in Qi State made it difficult for Qin State to move forward, Ying Zheng has no patience.

Regarding this point, Wei Liao knew that there was nothing he could do about it. Most of the scholars in the world came from Qi. Although Qi State had good relations with Qin State, those noble families and scholars in Qi had already united in private, and most of them were recruiting scholars. , against Qin.

"Your Majesty! Don't attack all!"

"Your Majesty, attacking Qi Feiliang!"

Inside the study.

With the current troubles of the Qin State exposed, and even blocking Ying Zheng's attempt to destroy the Wei State, Li Si, Wang Wan and others also shook their heads in the face of this difficult problem at the moment, but they all knew that if they attacked together, Not a wise move.

After discussing for a long time without any result, Ying Zheng asked Kai Zhuang to send someone to investigate the effectiveness, and then let Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang and others leave, leaving Li Si alone.

Hearing the news of the footsteps of Kai Zhang and others leaving, everything became quiet again.

"Li Si, how are things going in Yingchuan?"

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si who stayed behind, and sighed deeply.

Perhaps it is only in front of people who are convinced that Yingzheng will show such a tired look. Since the start of the war of destroying the country, all the pressure has been on Yingzheng, whether it is war or food, or government deposits. The visible expenses, not to mention the successive rebellions in the captured places, made Ying Zheng overwhelmed.

One thing after another piled up, even Ying Zheng was exhausted physically and mentally.

"My lord! Everything is ready, just waiting for an opportunity!"

Hearing Ying Zheng's question, Li Si bowed his hands to Ying Zheng and said.

Yingchuan was a bureau set up by Yingzheng against Lord Changping to let Lord Changping leave the court of Qin. Li Si understood that Chu was about to be destroyed, and there should not be too many officials of the Chu family in the court of Qin.

Qin regards the right as the most respected. Lord Changping is the right prime minister of the Qin State. He is the head of the officials of the Chu family in the Qin State. And Changwen Lord, not to mention other counties, is also quite prestigious in the court of the Qin State. Even Wei Liao, Wang Wan, etc. People, as well as generals Meng Wu, Li Yao, and Wang Jian, all admire Chang Wenjun, and Li Xin from the Li family of Longxi is Chang Wenjun's beloved disciple.

Such a situation is actually difficult for any king to ignore, let alone Yingzheng, who is determined to destroy Chu.

Although Li Si is an official of the Chu family, his position is different. During Lu Buwei's reign, he worked for Yingzheng. After that, all his children married the royal family or princes. It can be said that he has always stood by Yingzheng. beside.

Moreover, Li Si is not without selfishness regarding the matter of Lord Changping. He is over 50 years old, and he is over half a century old. , Zhang Zi and other names have been passed down through the ages.

"good!"

After hearing what Li Si said, Ying Zheng nodded and felt relieved.

Looking at the vast map in front of him, Ying Zheng was full of complexity.

The most torturous thing is never not being able to get it, but seeing helplessly that it is close at hand, but can only wait helplessly.

Just like people in the world who have been away for a long time, when they finally have to go home for a few days, thinking of their loved ones at home is the most difficult, but at this time, in front of him, Yingzheng, it is the long-cherished wish of the Qin kings of all dynasties, but it is the great cause of the unification of the world. Return to Qin.

Seeing it, you can go one step further.

"Your Majesty, if you dare to ask your Majesty, you are going to give Zhanlu to General Bai who will win the Yanmen."

Li Si's words came suddenly, Ying Zheng heard the words, turned his eyes from the map to the Zhanlu in the distance, and nodded.

"The widow does have this intention."

Ying Zheng said that he did not hide it from Li Si.

"Zhanlu is the sword of benevolence. It is known as a wise ruler and good minister. It was worn by the eldest son of a famous minister in the past. The king bestowed it with Zhanlu. It shows the meaning of valuing it. I dare to say it."

Standing beside Ying Zheng, Li Si raised his hand and asked Ying Zheng.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng looked at Li Si in surprise, not knowing what Li Si wanted to say.

"General Bai Yan is a descendant of the Bai family!"

Li Si said to Ying Zheng, looking at Ying Zheng, frankly, without the slightest guilty conscience.

"Although the rumors in the past are rumors, the king must guard against them! The Bai family in Pingyang is after all Bai Qi, and General Bai Yan is a member of the Bai family after all!"

Li Si looked at Ying Zheng and spoke his mind.

In Li Si's eyes, his position has always been on Ying Zheng's side, so now he is standing on Ying Zheng's position, he must persuade Ying Zheng, and must not be too fond of Bai Yan.

Seeing Ying Zheng looking at him, Li Si didn't look away.

"Your Majesty knows in his heart that General Bai did what he did before, and he was lucky. However, Bai Qi's death in the past was known all over the world, and I am worried."

When Li Si said this, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if a burden had been lifted from his heart.

"Are you worried about Bai Shi and Bai Yan?"

Ying Zheng heard what Li Si said, and asked softly before Li Si finished speaking.

Li Si shook his head.

"Your Majesty, Si is worried about the people in this world!"

Li Si explained, looking at Ying Zheng, he saluted Ying Zheng.

"Now that the Qin State is attacking and destroying other countries, chaos and thieves are everywhere, and there are countless rebels in the dark. General Bai is not a sage! The rumors of the past may be inevitable in the future."

After finishing his words, Li Si stopped talking. To Li Si, there are so few sages in the world, and he Li Si is not counted. At the beginning, Li Si went to Qin for the sake of prosperity and wealth, not to mention that the Bai family was far from With Bai Yan alone, there are so many members of the Bai clan.

In the past, there have been incidents where people with good intentions started for nothing, spreading news in Xianyang.

This time, Ying Zheng didn't mind, and Bai's family didn't disagree, so what about the next time, the next time, not to mention who can guarantee that no one will secretly mention this matter in Bai Yan's ear, those secret things How could they know.

In case Bai Yan has a different mind.
The purpose of Li Si's words now is to hope that when Ying Zheng favors and values ​​Bai Yan, he can take some precautions against Bai Yan in his heart, and don't favor him too much, otherwise it may cause serious trouble in the future.

However, after finishing speaking, to Li Si's surprise, Ying Zheng didn't seem to care and smiled.

"Don't worry about this!"

After Ying Zheng said something casually, he turned his head and looked at the location of Yingchuan County on the map.

Li Si frowned slightly, looking at Ying Zheng's side face, he was a little puzzled, and his heart was full of doubts, but Li Si also knew that looking at Ying Zheng's attitude, the matter of the Bai family was not a good time to discuss right now, and he had better wait until later If there is a chance, I will advise Ying Zheng again.

It's a pity, the sword of Zhang Xiang in the past!

Li Si thought of this, and inadvertently looked at the dark sword in the distance.

The eldest son Zhang Yi used to wear this sword.

Day two.

In Xianyang City, as the sky was getting brighter, civil and military officials came to the Xianyang Palace under the dark sky.

The carriages of Qin officials stopped outside the palace, and officials wearing Qin official uniforms stepped out of the carriages, saluting and chatting with their familiar colleagues.

Among the many officials, one of them was surrounded by many officials, and this official was Ying Kan.

As another carriage arrived, Bai Yu's figure stepped off the carriage.

Seeing Bai Yu, many officials all looked at each other with mocking smiles in their eyes.

"General White!"

Ying Kan saluted many officials around him, then left, came to Bai Yu, and raised his hand to salute.

"Win the adults!"

When Bai Yu saw Ying Kan, he quickly returned the salute.

"Ying Kan has heard about the Yanmen incident, General Bai Yu, don't worry, General Bai Yan is sure to be safe."

Ying Kan said to Bai Yu, comforting him softly.

"Thank you! Borrow the auspicious words from the adults!"

Bai Yu said to Ying Kan with a grateful salute, looking at Ying Kan, Bai Yu already knew what happened in Liyang, and he wanted to make Ying Kan feel sad, but he was worried about Ying Kan's pain.

After the ceremony.

When Bai Yu saw the other officials, when he saw the smiles in the eyes of some officials, a wave of warmth and anger emerged in Bai Yu's heart. Fortunately, Bai Yu is not Bai Yan, and this is the capital Xianyang, otherwise those As an official, Bai Yu may not dare to move.

Ying Kan naturally also noticed Bai Yu's anger, and after thinking of something, he glanced at the surrounding officials vigilantly.

"Xi has already investigated the murder case in Luoyin. On the way to Xianyang earlier, it is said that Qu Yi was accompanied by two other men besides his followers. The two men were all aliases. If there is no accident, it should be It was those two men who killed Qu Yi."

Ying Kan looked at the officials around and whispered to Bai Yu.

After experiencing the investigation of Zhujiaxiang in Handan City, Ying Kan's servant Xi was also promoted. Because of what happened in Liyang, Ying Kan was assigned to Luoyin to do it, and Xi did not disappoint Ying Kan. Finally found something.

The reason why he should be afraid of other officials is that Ying Kan still doesn't know whether there are officials from Xianyang involved in Qu Yi's death, and his purpose is to frame Bai Yan.

After experiencing the matter of escorting the king to Handan and Liyang, Ying Kan deeply understands a truth, people's hearts are separated by belly, and it is always right to be careful.

"To be by Qu Yi's side, one should be familiar with Qu Yi, why kill Qu Yi?"

Hearing what Ying Kan said, Bai Yu frowned and analyzed the matter in his heart, but he still couldn't understand why someone wanted to kill Qu Yi in Luoyin.

"Old Hu!"

Ying Kan didn't reply to Bai Yu at this time, but noticed that Mr. Hu from the Hu family was coming, and quickly raised his hand to salute Mr. Hu.

The Hu family is an old family of the Qin State. Although the population is not considered prosperous, all of them hold important positions. Not to mention that Hu Lao is the Shangqing of the Qin State, the eldest son Hu Jinshang is a county captain, and the second son Hu Wujing, now After being transferred to Xianyang, he was also reused. I heard that he is writing and revising Qin characters together with Li Si. Thinking about it, he knows that his status will definitely not be low in the future.

"Win the adults!"

When Mr. Hu saw Ying Kan and Bai Yu saluting to him, he bowed his hands and returned the salute.

Follow the conversation.

A moment later, Wang Wan, Wei Liao and others arrived one after another. They thought it was the same as before, but to the surprise of all the officials, Wang Wan and Wei Liao went straight to Bai Yu after their arrival.

This surprised all the officials who saw it, even Hu Lao and Hu Jin were quite puzzled.

After all, Wang Wan and Wei Liao seldom talk to them unless they have something to do.

Then, in the eyes of everyone, Wang Wan and Wei Liao first exchanged salutes with Mr. Hu, and then they bowed their hands to Bai Yu with a smile on their faces.

"General Bai Yu, congratulations!"

Wang Wan said with a smile.

Hearing Wang Wan's words, Bai Yu was stunned. Ying Kan and Mr. Hu looked at each other, full of doubts. All the officials around were also stunned, not understanding what Wang Wan meant.

Where does joy come from?

Under Bai Yu's puzzled eyes, Wei Liao smiled.

"Yesterday, a great victory came from Yanmen. General Bai Yan led the side cavalry and beheaded more than [-] heads of the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu fled northward."

Wei Liao explained to Bai Yu that he should tell Bai Yu the news about Yanmen yesterday, and if Wei Liao had guessed correctly, Ying Zheng would be promoted and rewarded today in front of civil and military officials.

As a captain of the state, if he sees Bai Yu now, he might as well inform Bai Yu in advance.

"what?"

When Bai Yu heard Wei Liao's words, he straightened his eyes and looked at Wei Liao in disbelief.

"This"

Ying Kan and Mr. Hu were dumbfounded when they heard this.

Recall the news from Yanmen earlier.
How could it be possible that Bai Yan led the side cavalry and killed more than [-] Huns, forcing the Huns to flee north.

Bai Yan!

so fierce? ? ?

"We have seen it with our own eyes. The king must have already planned to reward General Bai Yan!"

Wang Wan said with a smile, looking at the appearance of the three people in front of him, Ruo Ri and Wei Liao couldn't believe it when they heard the news from the king.

outside the palace.

Following Wang Wan and Wei Liao's words, all the officials who had been paying attention to Bai Yu's side were stunned, and they all froze in place, looking at each other in disbelief.

what happened?Didn't it mean that Yanmen is in danger, Bai Yan has been tricked, and his life is in danger?Why in the blink of an eye, just a few days later, he told them in front of them that Bai Yan, who was in danger for his life, not only did not die, but led the side riders to kill more than 2 Huns, a great victory in Yanmen!

Dazed, all the officials were stunned at this moment, unable to believe their ears.

If Wang Wan and Wei Liao hadn't said it themselves, they definitely wouldn't have believed it.

But it happened that Wang Wan and Wei Liao said it themselves.

After returning to God.

Officials who were friendly with the Bai family mentioned that those neutral officials were okay, and they couldn't help but sigh after Bai was a famous goalkeeper.

As for those officials who were hostile to Bai Yan or Bai's family, their complexions kept changing at this moment.

"Did you hear that? The Xiongnu were defeated and killed more than [-] people by Bai Yan!"

"It's not that the only side cavalry in Yanmen has already divided up and went south. Why was the Huns' army defeated and so many people died?"

"I don't know how Bai Yan did it, but after this battle, Bai Yan has made such great achievements, I'm afraid he can be promoted again!"

The comments of other officials came to my ears. Those officials who used to gloat and wished that Bai Yan would die soon all fell silent at this moment.

How happy they were laughing two days ago, how ugly their faces are now.

　In the records of swords, it was found that there were steel swords in the late Spring and Autumn Period. The Changyang Sword unearthed in Changsha is the steel sword in the late Spring and Autumn Period.

　　In addition, it is said that the Yue King Goujian sword forged by Ou Yezi has memory ability, so it is not known whether it is true or not.
