After eating, Shui Yan, who was about to go out, suddenly saw a subordinate come to him, saying that Bai Zhong wanted to see him.

Shui Yan did not refuse. Although he has already had a showdown with the Bai family, before he gets what he wants, the old man of the Bai family opens his mouth, and he still wants to give the Bai family face.

After all, no matter what, you will have to use the surname Bai in the future.

"Grandfather, is this going to see him?"

"I don't know what my grandfather will write to him!"

"In the future, when he leaves Baifu, we don't have the slightest relationship, why do you care so much!"

In the courtyard, the three young Bai clan members were about to go out to play, but they accidentally saw Shui Yan following the subordinates in the direction of the pavilion, and they whispered one after another.

Yesterday they already knew the ins and outs of the whole thing, and they also heard that Zou's father was dead.

Therefore, in the words, there is no need to hide the disdainful tone of Shui Yan.

In their eyes, the boy was no different from a civilian now.

They are not afraid that the young man will hear it, after all, it is not the former Zou father who was kind to the Bai family, and the young man is not even worthy of taking a step towards the Bai family's mansion.

The reason why my grandfather met him now was mostly for the sake of the past. What could the boy do when he heard them?

Inside the gazebo.

Shui Yan followed his subordinates and soon saw Bai Zhong.

But what Shui Yan didn't expect was that Bai Yan was actually there.

After saluting Bai Zhong, the servant turned around and left, leaving Shui Yan, Bai Zhong, and Bai Yan in the pavilion.

"Yan, I've seen Bai Lao, I've seen my uncle!"

Shui Yan bowed to Bai Zhong and Bai Yan.

Looked at.

Bai Zhong returned the salute, and Bai Yan, who still had a bad complexion, also raised his wide cuffs and returned the salute to Shui Yan with both hands.

Although after the Zhou family, etiquette collapsed, but that only means that etiquette is no longer taught on the battlefield.

And in communication, etiquette is still very important.

The more rude people are, the more they will not do it. After all, people with status pay attention to a reputation.

This is why Bai Yan still reciprocates the courtesy even if he has a prejudice against Shui Yan.

"I don't know what Bai Lao is looking for?"

Shui Yan looked at Bai Zhong and asked softly.

The words have been made clear, and yesterday was direct enough. Right now, Bai Zhong is looking for him, and he doesn't know what the matter is.

"Can you tell the old man in person, why do you have to enlist in the army when you are only fifteen years old?"

In the pavilion, Bai Zhong didn't make a detour and asked directly.

"If you want to gain fame and fortune, the old man promises that you will study in the Bai family, and when you become an adult, the old man will help you enter the Qin Kingdom."

After Bai Zhong finished speaking, he looked at Shui Yan, he hoped that Shui Yan would be able to think about it.

After all, if you enlist in the army, Shui Yan's age is too young.

"Thank you for your kindness. The intention of enlisting in the army has been decided, and it will not be changed. ”

Shui Yan said to Bai Zhong.

Bai Yan on the side looked at Shui Yan in front of him and listened to Shui Yan's words. The fat face was full of impatience.

He knew it.

Father is just talking in vain, this kid is already determined to enlist in the army.

With a cold snort gently, Bai Yan looked at the other places outside the pavilion again, too lazy to look at this kid again.

In Bai Yan's heart, it was not that he didn't want to look at Father Zou's kindness and make up for this kid.

But this kid is bent on enlisting in the army.

So in the future, this kid will really die on the battlefield.

That's no wonder he is.

Inside the gazebo.

There was a sigh.

"Zou Ji, the ancestor of your Zou family, what a hundred years ago was, why don't you want to follow the path of your ancestor Zou Ji, assist Mingjun, and become famous all over the world?"

Bai Zhong persuaded softly.

A hundred years ago, the reason why the State of Qi was outside the Hangu Pass at that time was that all countries did not dare to provoke it. It is inseparable from Zou Ji's contributions.

If it weren't for the exclusion of Tian Ji later. I am afraid that the name of Zou Ji is now no less than the famous ministers of the past dynasties.

If the young man in front of him really wants to light the lintel and revive the Zou family.

Entering the office, it is the best choice!

"Ancestors are ancestors, and the road that ancestors have walked, if they are walked again after a hundred years, it will be boring."

Shui Yan replied to Bai Zhong with a smile.

Shui Yan looked at Bai Zhong and knew in his heart that if Zou Xing was here, he would be eager to agree.

But he didn't want to get in.

For him, in addition to his ability being greatly reduced, he can't play. The most important thing is the promotion path to the office, which is very difficult and difficult, and it takes years or decades to stay up.

Don't look at the previous Gan Luo at the age of twelve, he was in the Qin State to pay homage to the prime minister.

But think about the clan behind him and who his grandfather is, aside from his abilities.

Moreover, at that time, the interior of the court of the Qin State was turbulent. The powerful Chu family, Lü Buwei, and Zhao Ji Changyu, these three forces are secretly clashes, not to mention the Qin Wang Yingzheng.

Ganluo was first under Lü Buwei, and finally died at the hands of Yingzheng.

The cause of his death, the most popular is that when Ganluo met King Yingzheng of Qin once, he pinched the princess's feet, and the princess blamed her, Yingzheng didn't want to kill, but Ganluo bluntly said that it was deliberate.

In the end, Ying Zheng ordered to kill Ganluo!

This is the cause of Ganluo's death in the world's mouth.

But Shui Yan has always felt that things are definitely not so simple.

The reason why Gan Luo was able to be named the secretary of state was that he could also pay homage to the prime minister. It was nothing more than to go to Zhao for Qin to ask for five cities, and persuade King Zhao to give five cities to Qin. In the end, King Zhao was persuaded by Ganluo.

Without spending a single soldier, the Qin State obtained the five cities of the Zhao State!

It seems that there is no problem, but it is also the biggest problem.

Because, this is in conflict with the cause of Ganro's death.

A man who is far more resourceful than ordinary people and knows the hearts of the people well, why can he easily analyze the pros and cons in front of King Zhao, and he is even more eloquent.

How could such a person pinch the princess's feet in front of Yingzheng?

You must know that under the Zhou ceremony, many children are sensible, and the elders will tell them that a woman's feet can not be touched, let alone pinched.

This is something that his mother has warned him since he was a child.

He, the son of a commoner, knows it. Gan Luo is a famous family, how can he not know this.

What's even more puzzling is that after Yingzheng spoke, Gan Luo directly admitted that he did it on purpose. This mind is not close to rumors at all.

Shui Yan once heard his mentor mention this matter, and at that time Shui Yan guessed that Gan Luo was just a chess piece, a packaged chess piece. And the person who packaged Ganluo is likely to be Lü Buwei.

Shui Yan knows that if people in this period want to be famous, they will package their own reputation, and even the reputation of others.

Among them, Lü Buwei is the leader.

Although Ganluo persuaded King Zhao to offer the five cities, this matter will definitely not be fake. But who can guarantee that Ganluo's 'strategy' did not come from Lü Buwei?

The reason for this is likely to be related to the three forces of the Chu family, Chang Yu, and Qin Wang Yingzheng in the thatched cottage of the Qin State.

Lü Buwei knew in his heart that these three forces all wanted him to die. And he is already a supreme minister, and his position of power has not been promoted.

In the face of three forces, the way he can protect himself is not only not to make mistakes, but also to guard against any one side becoming stronger.

For example, the position of the prime minister of Qin!

This also just touched the scale of Yingzheng's rebellion, the crowning of pro-government is imminent, and Yingzheng cannot let Lü Buwei succeed. After all, it is impossible for Ying Zheng to watch the position of prime minister who is most capable of helping him after the pro-government, a twelve-year-old boy, and a pawn that overrides the position of prime minister.

This can also explain why Ganluo was worshiped as a secretary soon after his meritorious service. Because of Lü Buwei!

And not long after paying homage, he was killed. Because Yingzheng can't tolerate it!

This is Shui Yan's personal speculation, it may be that he is too worried, but whether it is right or wrong, Shui Yan will not go to the path of entering the office.

Because even if there is no Ganluo, Shui Yan can see this era clearly.

It is very difficult for an ordinary person, who has no background in the scholar clan and marries with a famous family, to enter the government and take power. Although the status of the current Qin State Taiwei Wei Wei (尉缭) is not high, how old is it to get ahead.

Although Bai Zhong had already spoken, Shui Yan knew that after Bai Qi, the Bai clan had already declined.

Only the former name may still be useful in the army. But in front of the kind of power institutions in the court of the Qin State, the Bai family, which has declined, is not worth mentioning at all.

Otherwise, when he came to the Bai Mansion yesterday, why would the reaction of the people of the Bai clan be so big, and they could even be said to be 'anxious'.

It was nothing more than the fear that his appearance would prevent the Bai clan from marrying other clans.

.......

The water in the pavilion didn't know.

After he left, outside the room where he was staying, a young girl sneakily opened his door, looked around, and then walked in.

The girl is Bai Yingxue.

The reason why I went to Shui Yan's room was because I was worried that Shui Yan would regret it, so I stole the jade pendant.

In Bai Yingxue's thoughts, just in case, she might as well steal the jade pendant. If Shui Yan really suddenly regretted it one day, then he couldn't find the jade pendant, and he lost it, no wonder the Bai family.

At least that's what Bai Yingxue thought.

in the room.

Bai Yingxue walked lightly, came to Shui Yan's package, opened the package, and when she saw the shabby cloth clothes still placed inside, she frowned, and her beautiful eyes were full of disgust.

It's all such tattered clothes, and I'm still reluctant to throw them away.

With such a person, 10,000 are not worthy of my eldest sister!

Bai Yingxue looked disgusted, and pinched the corner of the clothes with her slender fingers and gently lifted it.

"Huh? Why are there so many bamboo slips? ”

Bai Yingxue suddenly saw a pile of bamboo slips in the package, she was a little surprised, and she picked up a roll of bamboo slips and looked at them while curious, and found that they were all words she didn't recognize.

"It's good that the eldest sister is here! The eldest sister must know what this is written about. ”

Bai Yingxue muttered, with a look of pity on her face, she couldn't understand what was written in it at all.

And this time Bai Yingxue's purpose was to take away the jade pendant, since the bamboo slip couldn't understand it, she didn't take it to heart, so she continued to look for the jade pendant in the package.
