Xianyang Palace.

As the center of power in the Qin State, the place where the civil and military officials in charge of all the affairs of the Qin State gathered, and it was also the place where people in the world talked about it.

With the drizzle falling, the sky was just getting bright, and one after another officials' carriages stopped at the gate of the palace, and a man wearing the official uniform of the Qin State walked out of their respective carriages, and their numbers increased.

How wide the territory of the Qin State is, you can get a glimpse of it from the number of these officials.

"Master Li!"

"General Wang!!"

"General Lee!"

The noise was loud, and a civil and military official saw other officials and colleagues, and they all smiled and bowed.

Don't look at this scene as harmonious, but in fact, like other vassal states, the civil and military officials of the Qin State have often argued on other matters large and small, except for the fact that they have the same opinion on the matter of going east.

After all, among the hundreds of officials of the Qin State, there are also factions, and the vast majority of these officials are people of the scholar clan, whether they are voluntary or not, in daily life, they will be involved in some conflicts of interest.

Fortunately, the successive monarchs of the Qin State were virtuous and wise, as well as the Qin law, which made the officials of the Qin State far less likely to fight than the other vassal states.

This is also why compared to other vassal states, the hundred officials of the Qin State are more restrained, and they can have this scene.

The gate of the royal palace.

Because of the drizzle, a servant or servant took an umbrella and gave it to their ministers.

Speaking of umbrellas, the first person to make them, some rumors are Luban, and some people also say that they are Lu Ban's wife Yun, but no matter who it is, now the umbrella has become a symbol of the scholars and the powerful.

Because whether it is made of the first cowhide or the current silk silk, not ordinary people can afford to consume it.

Today, people want to travel in the rain, but they are still clothed.

Although the robes are not as valuable as umbrellas, they are extremely convenient, just like around the palace gate at this moment, an elite soldier of the Qin State with a long name in his hand is also wearing a robe.

Just as the officials were waiting for the court.

Not far away, a carriage that was not an official appeared in a row of carriages, and many officials on the periphery noticed this scene.

After all, this is the palace gate of Xianyang Palace, why did that carriage come here?

When he was puzzled, as the ordinary carriage slowly stopped, a young man wearing Qin armor, holding a bamboo slip, got off the carriage.

Seeing this scene, many people were a little stunned.

A young man wearing Qin armor, sitting in a carriage, and holding a bamboo slip came to the gate of this palace, what kind of trouble is this?

Heralds? Not like? But if you are an official, how can you wear armor?

Puzzled, the officials looked at each other.

"Do you know that man?"

"I haven't seen it!"

With the sound of whispering, many officials saw that the carriage was slowly leaving, and only the young man in Qin armor stood in the drizzle.

Seeing this, these officials were very puzzled.

Seeing this, several Qin soldiers in the distance were also a little puzzled, and after glancing at each other, the general led by him was wearing a robe, holding a Qin sword, and walked towards the young man.

The official who was talking about it was watching this scene, and the gate of the palace suddenly opened slowly.

When these officials saw this, they all knew that they were going to the palace to go to court.

"Please!"

"Please!!"

Officials saluted each other, and then marched towards the palace in groups.

Officials in other places didn't notice anything, but with the movement of officials, more and more officials also noticed the teenager standing in the drizzle at this time.

To be able to become an official of the Qin State, and to wear this official uniform of the Qin State, and come to the court in this palace, the knowledge, ability and connections of every official are far beyond the reach of others.

But strangely, almost all the officials, seeing the boy, did not know him.

But after a few breaths

In a group of officials in their forties and fifties, a middle-aged man with a burly body, wearing an official uniform and wearing a high mountain crown on his head, noticed that when he was a teenager, he was full of surprise, and then stopped.

See this scene.

The two officials in their forties and fifties who were traveling with him all stood still.

"Master Yao knows that person?"

Li Si, who had a good relationship with Yao Jia, was the first to ask.

The burly man is Yao Jia.

"Acquaintance!"

Yao Jia smiled at Li Si, and then saw Wang Juan looking at him suspiciously, Yao Jia smiled even more: "Yao Jia was the escort of the young man who sent Xinzheng before!" ”

Yao Jia's voice just fell, and Li Si and Wang Juan were all surprised.

"Bai Yan?"

"He's Bai Yan?"

Li Si and the others instinctively spoke, because they all knew that it was Bai Yan who escorted Yao Jia to Xinzheng in the first place.

Thinking of this, Li Si and the others all turned their heads to look at the young man in the distance.

Thinking about the past six months, from the sudden rise of fame to the repeated exploits of war, the previous battle of Gao Nu was even more amazing, and they have always been curious about how brave the Bai family disciple named Bai Yan is.

However, now, looking at the thin boy standing in the drizzle in the distance.

This really surprised Li Si, Wang Juan and others in their hearts, which was obviously different from what they imagined.

"What? Is he Bai Yan? ”

"He's Bai Yan?"

"That young man in Qin armor is Bai Yan?"

Around Li Si, when an official heard the words of Li Si and the others, they all looked at the young man in surprise, a person who had heard the name countless times during this time, and made the entire court argue.

Among the hundreds of officials, two young and burly men in official uniforms immediately stopped and glanced at each other after learning that the young man was Bai Yan.

"He's Bai Yan?"

It was Li Xin who spoke, and the other was Qiang, both of whom were the younger generation of Qin generals in the Qin court.

As the two of the top two of all the young generals in the Qin State, their identity, background, fame, and ability, the most unconvincing thing during this period of time is Bai Yan, the son of the Bai family.

Even when they didn't know Meng Tian at the beginning, when they heard the world talk about Meng Tian, the two of them didn't care so much.

Only this sudden appearance of Bai Yan made the two of them feel a depression in their hearts when they talked about their deeds.

Yangcheng ascended first, killed five doctors in a battle, and had one in twenty enemy soldiers.

led the iron cavalry to the north, beheaded more than 3,000 Han soldiers in Fuxi Mountain, beheaded Han Qiu, the Korean general, and went north to capture four cities.

Xincheng's words directly saw through Han Junshen's plan.

In the first battle of Gaonu, he not only predicted that the Xiongnu and the Yueshi would go south, but also ordered the people to migrate, and led more than 10,000 iron horsemen to face the Yueshi and the Xiongnu 150,000 horses, and fought to the death.

Among them was Bai Yan's fire, which burned a high-slave city and tens of thousands of horses of the Yue Clan.

Anyone who hears about this deed will be in a trance, and I am sincerely curious about what Bai Yan looks like, he has such a talent, leading the troops to plan, and he is even more decisive and fierce.

"I can't see it at all!"

Qiang Yan frowned, not only Li Xin, but also him, standing here at this moment, looking at the thin young man in the distance who was holding a bamboo slip.

These are completely two extremes from the fierce and decisive Bai Yan in his imagination.

"Bai Yan?"

Li Xin looked at the young man in the distance, his eyes full of doubts.

In fact, not only Li Xin, but also the surrounding officials, especially some military generals wearing official uniforms, were also full of doubts.

Because everyone looked at the young man, they couldn't see that the young man could kill a total of twenty-two including the five doctors with his own hands after he ascended first.

But Yao Jia is gone.

That young man is Bai Yan's business, and it can never be fake.

Besides, calculating the time, Bai Yan did return to Xianyang in the past few days.

Puzzled, one of the officials took one last look at the young man, turned his head and continued into the palace.

"Bai Yan?"

Outside the palace, the Qin soldier general who was holding the Qin sword heard the words of the civil and military officials behind him, and then looked at the young man in front of him with doubts.

He is Bai Yan!

The commander of the Gaonu Iron Cavalry in Shangjun.

Thinking of this, the general holding the Qin sword did not interrogate again, especially when he saw that Shangqing Yao Jia had already walked towards the youth.

"Bai Yan, I've seen Lord Yao!"

Bai Yan looked at Yao Jia who came and bowed his hand.

In the past, Bai Yan didn't expect to be here, so he would meet so soon, he originally thought that after entering the court, he would meet him.

"General Bai, I haven't seen you for many days!"

Yao Jia came to Bai Yan with a smile on his face, and then returned the salute.

Yao Jia is naturally no stranger to Bai Yan, when the boy not only escorted him to Xinzheng, but also when he was in Xincheng, he witnessed the boy guessing Shen Yan's plan word by word, and destroyed the last vitality of South Korea in one fell swoop.

This is also why, after the bamboo slips sent by Yang Xian arrived at the palace in Shangjun, Yao Jia felt that things might not be as simple as Yang Xian said.

Especially after two days, Yang Xian's bamboo slips came again, and when he learned that Bai Yan directly ordered the Gaonu people to all move south, Yao Jia thought of the new city at the beginning, and had some worries in his heart.

But then.

Not to mention other people, even Yao Jia himself, he is not sure.

Even if I have seen the sensitivity of a teenager on the battlefield, even if there is some skepticism.

I didn't think about it.

The results really blew everyone away.

"Yao Jia congratulates General Bai on his great achievements!"

Yao Jia looked at Bai Yan and said with a smile.

Bai Yan hurriedly returned the salute.

"Lord Yao's praise!"

Bai Yan said modestly, and at this time, Bai Yan suddenly saw that three officials slowly walked up.

Looking at the three officials, he had never seen any of them, Bai Yan was a little confused, but those three people all wore high mountain crowns, and the lines on their official uniforms were different from those of other officials.

Bai Yan guessed that these two officials were ministers with extremely high status, although he didn't understand what position it was, but the only thing he was sure of was that the two titles were all Shangqing.

Two Shangqing!

Bai Yan thought that he was still a big doctor, and he was not even a general.

Not to mention that he was worried, but he was also very puzzled, because he couldn't think of why two officials came over, you know, the official who was walking with Yao Jia just now was also Shangqing, but he just looked at it, and he didn't mean to come over at all.

A big doctor, in the eyes of the people, is high, and in the eyes of ordinary Qin officials, he is also high.

But compared with Shangqing, the gap is incomparably large, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is far away.

There are also three ranks, the lowest rank is equal to the lowest general, and the lowest general is the middle left chief and the right chief.

And the five doctors and the chief Zuo seem to be only one knight, but this is the one who is very different.

One is a doctor and the other is a general.

The five doctors with the highest number of doctors have 25 hectares of fields and houses, while the left chief of the first lord is 74 hectares each.

From the nine hectares of the eldest doctor's lord to the twenty-five hectares of the five doctors, there are five titles in between.

The five doctors and the chief Zuo are only one title apart, but it is this title, the gap is unimaginable.

And Shangqing is equal to the general among the generals.

So at the moment, Bai Yan is still a big doctor, a doctor.

And those two are Shangqing!

"Hehe~!"

When Yao Jia saw the young Bai Yan, he suddenly became restrained, and when he saw the two officials, he suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Especially looking at Bai Yan, Yao Jia shook his head, and with kindness, he introduced Bai Yan.

"General Bai, this is Shangqing Hu Quan, Lord Hu. This is Shangqing Mao Jiao, Lord Mao. ”

Yao Jia introduced Bai Yan one by one.

"Lord Yao!"

"Lord Yao!!"

Yao Jia's voice fell, Hu Quan, who was in his sixties, and Mao Jiao, who was in his fifties, all bowed to Yao Jia, and this move was also goodwill.

Because Yao Jia took the initiative to introduce the two of them, whether the two of them were greeting or something else, they naturally returned the favor.

Under the huge embroidered mouth of Yao Jia's official uniform, he returned the salute with both hands.

And because of Yao Jia's introduction, Bai Yan, who was a little confused from the beginning, immediately knew that among the two Shangqing in front of him, one of them had a slight relationship with him, and could even be said to be a backer.

Hu Jin's biological father, Shangqing Hu Quan!

In the past, when Yang Xian wrote to Xianyang, General Hu Jin also wrote to his biological father, Hu Quan.

At this time, Bai Yan finally understood why Yao Jia was smiling at him.

"Bai Yan, meet Lord Hu, Lord Mao!"

After Bai Yan returned the salute to Yao Jia, he stretched out his hand to Hu Quan and Mao Jiao and bowed his hand, looking at the elderly man Hu Quan, Bai Yan's eyes were full of gratitude.

Although he was not in Xianyang, Bai Yan could know that half a month ago, it was the old man in front of him who spoke for him in the Xianyang Palace.

As for Shangqing Mao Jiao, almost everyone in the Qin State today knows about it, and no one knows it.

After the incident of Chang Yu, the Empress Dowager Zhao was imprisoned, and 27 officials were executed for advice, and Mao Jiao was the official of the 28 admonitions, and it was also because of Mao Jiao that King Yingzheng of Qin took back the Empress Dowager Zhao.

Therefore, even if I dare not say that Mao Jiao can be as upright as Lord Meng Yu, this Lord Mao must be a bold and careful person.

The most important thing is that Shangqing Mao Jiao is still a Qi person.

"The afterlife is terrifying!"

Mao Jiao saw Bai Yan, simply returned the salute, and then laughed.

The elderly Hu Quan on the side looked at the young Bai Yan, and his eyes were also full of intimate smiles.

"The Bai family has another incredible son, Bai Zhong's old guy, it's really enviable."

Hu Quan said to Mao Zhi, then looked at Bai Yan and looked at the drizzle: "Why don't you bring an umbrella?" ”

Bai Yan heard the words of the old man Hu Quan, and bowed his head.

"Out of the way! It's just a little rain, Bai Yan is wearing the Qin armor of the bloody battle, if he holds an umbrella, he will inevitably make people with a heart laugh at me. ”

In fact, the Tyrant Clan has always had an umbrella, but the first time he came to the palace, Bai Yan had no experience at all, especially when he was wearing Qin armor, and he also felt that the umbrella was not appropriate.

After all, it is different from wearing an official uniform, this Qin armor is a bloody thing, just hold an umbrella for this little rain, and let others see it, which will inevitably be passed out as a joke by people with a heart.

Not to mention, it may even reach the royal palace.

"Hahahaha! Good! ”

Hearing Bai Yan's words, Hu Quan's wrinkled face burst into laughter, and he kept stroking his long beard.

Even Yao Jia and Mao Jiao, listening to Bai Yan's words and looking at their young appearance, couldn't help but smile and shake their heads.

In a word, the Taoist was born as a Qin general who was rebellious and frivolous.

It's no wonder that General Teng, and even Lord Meng Yu, all praise it, don't say it's them, even if it reaches the ears of the king, it is estimated that the king feels comfortable listening to it.

Wenchen admonishes to the death, soldiers fight to the death, this is a word, no monarch will refuse.

"Okay, since you are wearing this Qin armor, the old man will not give you an umbrella! The old man will enter the palace, and when the king will meet him, he will summon you in. ”

Hu Quan smiled at Bai Yan.

Looking at the young Bai Yan, Hu Quan couldn't help but sigh, this time, this young man was waiting outside the palace gate here.

Maybe next time, there will be no need to be like this, drenched in the rain, standing alone outside the palace gate.

"Hmm!"

Looking at Bai Yan arching his hand, Hu Quan nodded, and then turned his head to Yao Jia and Mao Jiao: "Lord Yao, Lord Mao, please!" ”

"Please!"

With Yao Jia and Mao Jiao's return salute, the three of them glanced at Bai Yan and walked towards the palace gate.

Bai Yan stood in place with his hands in place, watching the three of them leave.

A moment later.

After Hu Quan, Yao Jia, and Mao Jiao entered the palace, Bai Yan withdrew his gaze.

Standing outside the palace gate, feeling the drizzle alone, Bai Yan once again felt the benefits of being born in the Shi clan, the Hu family of the Qin State, Hu Quan is Shangqing, Hu Quan's eldest son Hu Jin is the county lieutenant of Shangjun, and the second son Hu Wujing is a prison official from Liyang and has made a city order.

Don't look at the Hu family, there are only three people in power, but the connections of these three people are far from being so simple, not to mention that Bai Yan has never seen it, Mao Jiao, the Shangqing who is also a Qi person, obviously has a very good relationship with Hu Quan, that is a Shangqing.

is such a family, because he has a white surname, so it is also his reliance in the court.

Sigh.

Bai Yan looked at the drizzle that was constantly falling in front of him, full of emotion.

In the eyes of Lu Qi and Lu Sheng, he is a backer, but in the court of the Qin State, he is far from enough.

Real power, above him, is far from being so simple.

There is also a chapter, half-past twelve.

(End of chapter)
