The surface of the lake in Baijiazhuang is still frozen, and the children of the clan love to slide on the surface of the lake with wooden planks wrapped around their feet in this weather, sliding while sliding, while bending down to grab the clean snow, and smashing it into a ball to their companions. Snowball fights are not fought in vain, the winner can get the loser's sugar cake, which is made with good wheat noodles and caramel sugar, even in Baijiazhuang, it is considered a first-class good food.

The pavilion is torn up on all sides of three layers of gauze tents, slightly can block the wind, the stone table carved by the public loser 'Lao Tzu out of the customs' is placed on the red fruit dun, fried soybeans, sugar cakes and a few small dishes with wine, the most mouth-watering is a plate of wild venison, which is cut into thin transparent meat slices, placed in the copper tripod in the middle of the small table and eaten, with the sauce specially prepared by Bai Dong, the entrance is tender and juicy, very delicious.

But Yingquliang still likes Hongguodun'er, doesn't it mean that it's best for men to be angry? He ate more than 20 of them in a while, and with the good wine brewed by the Bai family, he didn't change it for a god. It's a pity that he doesn't want to be an immortal, he just wants to see Lao Qin rich and strong in his lifetime, competing for dominance in the world.

"When the father-in-law was dying, Ping'an Lang once said that Lao Qin should dominate the world within fifty years, and the father-in-law was willing to leave with peace of mind when he heard you say this. The third brother thought that Ping An Lang was just comforting his father-in-law's heart, but now it seems that Ping An Lang should have this means, but you don't want to teach me anything, but you want to launch a Wei Ying, so that the third brother can't figure it out! ”

Yingquliang is really unwilling. After breaking up with Bai Dong, after thinking about it, he still has to work hard, Bai Dong's temperament He also understands that this kid will not make a move if he is not forced, if he uses brotherly affection to force him, maybe he will change his mind? Lao Qin must change the law. Wei Ying may not be able to take it. The most satisfying result is that Bai Dong presided over the change. Wei Ying is an assistant, but it seems to be very difficult to achieve.

"The king said that Wei Ying is a talent."

"It's a good talent, but it's a pity that his prestige is far from enough, otherwise the third brother would have appointed him as the minister of law change a long time ago, how could he still hesitate? Now that the Son of Heaven has given meat, the third brother will hold a heaven and earth ceremony soon, and the eldest brother will support me. Longdong is about to become a fine horseman, and the old aristocratic group of Yongyi will never dare to move, if there is a Ping An Lang who presides over the change, then the world will be decided! But if I change the martingale, I'm afraid I will have to prepare for half a year before I can let it go! Ping An Lang, Wei Ying is very anxious, and the third brother is even more anxious"

"If you are in a hurry, you will inevitably be burned by hot tofu, the third brother will not make such a mistake, right? I have made an appointment with the ancestor that the Qin State will not force me to do what I don't want to do. Is the third brother going to break the agreement? Third brother, how delicious do you think this red fruit pier is? It was made overnight with bitter wine and grass. Just for me to leave, I said, don't miss the good snow. They know that their mothers need to eat this thing, and they know that I love to eat, and in order to get this thing, I can not even sleep."

Bai Dong took a bite of shabu venison, and pointed to the children playing on the lake with a smile: "Third brother, look, is there such warmth and happiness in the Qin Palace?" Is there such a warm scene in the court? I'm a very, very selfish person, and I just want to have this happiness and protect my home; It's not that I don't do things for Lao Qin, I just don't want to stand on the cusp! If you move the law of your ancestors, you will either die or die! Third brother, can you bear to put your brother in danger? ”

"You are the one who has taken the family motto of the Ying family, and you have the death-free jade plate given to you by the third brother! What exactly are you afraid of? ”

"I'm not afraid, but my family will be scared, worried, and my descendants will be even more afraid of retaliation. The third brother has seen Wei Ying's strategy of changing the law, does he not know how many people's interests will be touched by the change of the law? These people may not dare to provoke me, but what about my family and descendants? Third brother, you have to think about Si'er, you have to leave him a powerful Qin State, so that he will not have your troubles today, brother, shouldn't I think about my son, grandson, grandson's grandson? You are my third brother, do you want to trap me? ”

Bai Dong put down his wine glass heavily.

"How could the third brother be such a person? However, the Qin State changed the law, and the Wei State was the most worried, and it was difficult to guarantee that Wei Ying would not take advantage of the chaos to send troops; Pang Juan once said that the person who respects him in the world is Mr. Guigu, and the person who is jealous of him is the fourth brother, the fourth brother, the strategy used in the first battle of Longdong to increase troops and reduce the stove, even if he encounters it, it is most likely difficult to escape. If Lao Qin changes the law, the Wei State will inevitably covet it, and you will be the only one who can deter the Wei State, and the third brother is afraid that Wei Ying will not be able to bear it."

Yingquliang glanced at Bai Dong: "Besides, it was Haikou that you boasted about that day, saying that you would use the salt of the world to provoke the dispute between Wei and Qi, so that Wei had no time to look at Lao Qin." Now that there is friction in Wei Qi, there is no big war, but the stronger the Wei State is, if your words have not been realized, shouldn't you make up for Lao Qin? The third brother doesn't care."

In spite of? The dignified monarch also learned to be coquettish Bai Dong coughed heavily, and the wine almost choked into the trachea, and Fan Qiang turned his head to the side to look at the children who were having snowball fights on the lake, meaning I didn't hear it.

"Third brother, don't worry, I had an appointment with Mrs. Xianjun that day, and Lao Qin gave me the right to operate private salt, and the Bai family has to pay operating fees every year, will I be willing to lose money? Don't worry, Wei Qi will definitely fight, and if he doesn't fight, it's just a big battle, but it's not the most suitable time yet."

Bai Dong peeked out of the pavilion, and although he was through the hazy gauze tent, he still saw the bitter wine hidden behind the rockery by the lake.

There is a 'villain' at home, and he is also the villain with the highest status of Lao Qin, it is impossible to drive people out, what can Kujiu do except hide here and grit his teeth? No, you have to send this 'evil guest' away as soon as possible, and the time between yourself and the bitter wine will be wasted on him.

"The third brother doesn't need to be persuaded, I will support the change, but I will not personally preside over the change. Don't worry about letting Wei Ying do it, he is a trustworthy person, at most I promised the third brother that I would go to the court meeting when discussing the change of the law, and I would definitely support Wei Ying when necessary. ”

"Ping An Lang, this is what you said, you must fully support the change of law and support Wei Ying?"

"Third brother, rest assured, since Wei Ying is the person I recommend, how can I not support him? Brother still has important things to do today, so I won't accompany the third brother much, third brother, you see"

"Are you trying to drive me away?"

Yingquliang was stunned. The monarch arrives at the house of his courtiers. That is the great glory of the courtiers. The longer the monarch stays, the more grace he becomes, and I really haven't seen a courtier take the initiative to drive out guests.

Fan Qiang smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance, lowered his voice and said in Yingquliang's ear: "Your Majesty, it's not the right time for us to come, it's time to leave early." ”

Following the direction of Fan Qiang's finger, Yingquliang looked at the bitter wine full of resentment and hiding at a glance. Suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, yes, let's go that, the widow will drive!" ”

Wei Ying is now reading every day at night, from Guan Zhong's reform strategy, to Baili Xi's change of etiquette, to Li Kui's series of policies and decrees around farming, land development, etc., he is familiar with every successful person in history, absorbing their essence, and criticizing their cowardice and slowness.

In Wei Ying's view, Bai Li Xi, a generation of famous ministers of Lao Qin, is not a change of law, he just brought a complete Zhou etiquette to Lao Qin, who is still in the 'cultural desert'; Guan Zhongqiang is in the word 'profit', for the sake of interests. He even did not hesitate to introduce the women's system first, not afraid of the criticism of later generations. This is for the monarch to be strong and use his power, and the subordinates to make profits, which is not enough for Lao Qin to take. What can really provide him with a lot of nutrients is Li Kui, the changes in the Qin State should also start from the peasants and the land, and the cool law will take effect!

Bai Dong gave him a chance, and Yingquliang needed a strong man, which was the broad road for him to achieve defeat. He has roughly persuaded Yingquliang, and what he has to do now is to convince the Manchu Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, which is very difficult

In order to reach an armistice and peace treaty with Wei, the whole country has to think about how to convince him and persuade him, even if he talks eloquently and rudely in the Liyang Palace, the monarchs and ministers of Qin also know that they can listen honestly; Now he is nothing more than a down-and-out scholar who wandered to the Qin State, a nominal 'guest qing', and anyone can refute him loudly and scold him by his name! The thought that he will have to face those old-fashioned old aristocratic groups and Gan Long, who are full of 'loyal ministers' who are full of thoughts about restoring the old system of Mu Gong, Wei Ying will have a headache.

After the headache, Wei Ying clenched his fists tightly and told himself that he must succeed! Be sure to get the support of Shirako. Now he has begun to learn the latest official book, just like the world's scholars, the more he learns, the more he realizes the wonders of the new text, and he has heard that the king led hundreds of civil and military officials to go out hundreds of miles to meet Bai Dong. If you want to change the law, you have to be the enemy of the old Qin Manchu Dynasty, he needs the greatest help, the toughest backstage, it is not enough to have a king, if there is Bai Dong to support him, then the big thing will be done!

"Weizi, I'm Jing Jian, open the door quickly!"

Wei Ying hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether to take the risk to meet Bai Dong; The king has already said that tomorrow's court meeting will ask him to propose a new plan to change the law, and the ministers will support it best, if they oppose it, then they will be persuaded one by one! This is the most critical moment in his life, and he needs a strong backstage so much. But he was very hesitant, the last time he was rejected by Bai Dong for three days was still vivid, in case he was hit by Bai Dong if he failed to see him, he was really afraid that he would not be able to bear it.

Jing Jian actually came at this time, and since entering Qin, Jing Jian can be said to be his only friend. This is a man like a flower who likes to help the 'weak', and the more tenacious the 'weak', the more energetic the Jing Jian will help, Wei Ying is very lucky to have the help of the Jing Jian, at least he is not completely isolated.

"I'm going to enter the court tomorrow to discuss the matter of changing the law, success or failure is here, don't you want to fight for Ping Anlang? If he speaks for you, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military will also give you some face. ”

Shaking off the snow, Jing Jian sat down in front of the brazier, looking at him with a smile while the fire was baking.

"It's still hard to measure what Bai Zi thinks in the world, I'm afraid"

"Hehe, afraid of being rejected by him? At that time, the old Qin Manchu Dynasty was all your enemy except me? If you want me to say, can't you modify your change strategy a little bit and become more gentle? This may make you less enemies" Jing Jian shook his head slightly, as Wei Ying's 'good friend', he knows some of the magic strategies, and it is strange to say that he will not be attacked by the crowd, why is this guy so stubborn?

"Never! Either unchanged or greatly changed, martingale never takes the middle way! ”

"Ha Luha, I know you're going to do this, I'm just kidding. Heian Lang has a letter to you. Check it out. ”

"Baizi has a letter to me!"

Wei Ying was overjoyed. I quickly opened the letter and was speechless for the rest of the day.

"Why don't you speak? What did Ping An Lang write to you, it can't be some Qingxi secret study, right? Tell me quickly, are you going to die in a hurry? ”

"It's a story of the tortoise and the hare race"

"What, the story of the tortoise and the hare race? It's a joke, the tortoise can't outrun the hare even if it fights hard? I understand, Heian Lang wants you to be a rabbit and win this 'turtle' of the Manchu Dynasty? Phew, it's my father's gaffe. I'm not scolding the doctor, they're turtles."

"You don't have to worry. Bai Zi didn't let me be a rabbit, he wanted me to be a turtle, a turtle that will win the most."

Wei Ying held Bai Dong's letter tightly, and his heart fluctuated for a while, and it was difficult to disobey for a long time.

***

It is still a small court meeting, and most of the participants are ministers of the old Qin Dynasty, and ordinary county guards are not allowed to attend. Yingquliang was very cautious, in order to prevent these old ministers from colluding with each other in advance, so he did not mention the matter of changing the law, but only said that he was discussing the strategy of strengthening the country.

There are always a dozen pilgrimages like this a year. Originally, there was nothing new, but I just worshiped heaven and earth a few days ago. Yingqu Liang officially ascended the throne, Bai Dong's new text was rapidly implemented in the world, the old Qin weather was new, and the courtiers had some expectations for this court. If it's really him, it's a little exciting.

When the chamberlain sang the name of 'Bai Zuogen', everyone was in high spirits, and they all focused their eyes on Bai Dong. It seems that there is nothing wrong, I haven't seen him go to the court a few times on weekdays, but today he came early, there must be an amazing strategy dedicated to Lao Qin, which makes people look forward to it.

Bai Dong went all the way, and the ministers all consciously dodged, allowing him to go to the third place in the literary class; Zhang Yu returned to Yongdu, and now in addition to Lao Ganlong and Fungus Gai in the literary class, he has the highest title, although he has no real job, just with the great merit of inventing new words and welcoming back the flesh, even old ministers like Gongsun Jia should retreat.

Lao Ganlong glanced at Bai Dong with a smile: "Boy, you have never been in court, it is not easy to come here today, what are you hesitating about?" You still sit in the position of the chief of the hundred officials. ”

Bai Dong was about to wave his hand, and the ministers also laughed and said: "Zuo doesn't have to be pretentious, if you don't sit in this seat, who in the hall can sit it?" Hehe, although we are old ministers, we have not won the honor of welcoming Baili and worshipping each other, if you don't sit, then you are making fun of me waiting" Du Zhi even grabbed Bai Dong's sleeve and pulled him to the first place among the ministers.

The position of the head of the hundred officials has always been Lao Ganlong's, and the last time Bai Dong was pressed on this position, it was because he obtained 100,000 stone of grain and saved countless victims. For Du Zhi's move, even Lao Ganlong has no objection, the higher Bai Dong's achievements, the happier he is, who let this kid's words be obtained by him? Zhu Guo's words of expectation that day have become a reality today, and now who does not praise the doctor for his foresight?

"Everyone, it's not that the kid won't sit down, it's just that today's seat, I'm afraid it's not a kid, I can't sit it."

Bai Dong shook his head away from Du Zhi's hand and shook his head again and again.

"Okay, it's really my old Qin's show. I have said a long time ago that although Bai Zuo has made great achievements, he is a humble gentleman, not an arrogant person, and now it seems that this is the case. Doctor, you really have the ability to know pearls, Jia can't either. ”

Although Bai Dong's merits are great, he also needs a special order from the monarch to sit at the top of these hundred officials, after all, compared with Lao Ganlong, his seniority is still far inferior. Last time, it was Ying Lian and Li Jiang who forced the order, and sat down, this time Yingquliang did not give an order, and the ministers in the palace actually still had the mind to compare him, if he really sits, even if no one objected on the spot, he would privately think that young people do not know the importance of the matter, and if they have great achievements, they will be arrogant, and they are always not beautiful. Now Gongsun Jia sees that Bai Dong is not arrogant, and he doesn't feel that he values this young minister even more, and Lao Ganlong also nodded again and again, now how he looks at Bai Dong, Bai Dong is happy to sit, and he is even happier if he doesn't sit.

Du Zhi said with a smile: "Bai Zuo doesn't even sit, Da Liangzao has never come to the court, the head of this hundred officials is the seat of the teacher, the teacher please"

"This Du Zhi, count him as the worst!"

Bai Dong secretly screamed in his heart, but unfortunately it was too late to stop it, Lao Ganlong was moving the deer head in his hand, and walked towards the first place of the hundred officials with a smile

"Slow down on the doctor!"

Fan Bohu turned out from behind the scenes, glanced at Gan Long and said: "At today's court meeting, the seat of the head of the hundred officials does not belong to the doctor, and there is a special order from the king. ”

"Hehe, the old man has said a long time ago, he should have sat on the left side of the white left, this kid just knows how to respect the old minister, and is as humble as a gentleman, which is really loved and hated. Boy, why don't you come quickly, do you really have to wait for your order to invite you? ”

Lao Ganlong's face changed slightly, he looked at Bai Dong, but laughed again, although it was really inappropriate for the king to order him to give way at this time, but it was nothing to let this kid sit, it was originally his intention.

"The doctor misunderstood the meaning of the king, and this position is not Bai Zuo should be seated. There is an order from the king, and now there is a famous man who defends the country and Wei Ying enters Qin, and the policy offered is deeply in line with the meaning of the widow; Today's court meeting, led by Wei Ying, should be the first among the hundred officials! ”

"What! The king asked Wei Ying to sit on the first place of the hundred officials? ”

Gan Long's old face suddenly turned red, and the hundreds of officials in the palace were even more agitated. Bai Dong didn't say anything, but he was secretly surprised in his heart, the monarch is the monarch, the third brother is really ruthless in cutting off people, and the emperor's power technique is so terrifying
