Whew~!

Outside the palace gate, after reporting to the Qin guards guarding the city gate, Bai Yan waited.

I don't know how long I stood there, but the rain that was originally light suddenly became heavy again.

Bai Yan tightly guarded the bamboo slips.

Ye and Huai had come, but Bai Yan asked the two of them to leave.

Finally.

A eunuch with two palace maids came out of the palace gate and came to Bai Yan step by step.

"General Bai, the king has summoned you to the palace!"

The young eunuch came to Bai Yan and bowed to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan nodded.

Feeling that the maid was holding an umbrella for herself, Bai Yan did not refuse, after all, this umbrella was not prepared by herself, but by the king, representing Wang En.

"In this volume, Bai Yan wants to sacrifice to the king."

Bai Yan took this opportunity to hand over the bamboo slip to the eunuch, which Bai Yu told him in his letter.

The eunuch took the bamboo slip and nodded hurriedly.

"General Bai, please!"

The eunuch made a gesture of invitation to Bai Yan and motioned for Bai Yan to follow him into the palace.

Bai Yan nodded, returned the salute very politely, and also made a gesture of please.

Bai Yan's actions surprised the eunuchs a little, if it were some elderly ministers, it might be fine, but among the young civil and military officials, like Li Xin, Meng Tian and others, although they did not despise him, they never looked down on him.

To be able to treat him, an inconspicuous eunuch, such a polite person, this young man in front of him is still the first.

Come to think of it.

The eunuch looked at Bai Yan's eyes, and unconsciously showed a touch of closeness.

When the eunuch knew that the person who came was Bai Yan, he was still a little worried in his heart, after all, Bai Yan was famous for his murder and made countless meritorious contributions, and even other eunuch colleagues once said that the king had mentioned this Bai General several times in private.

I thought that this white general, who was leading the troops outside, was burly and arrogant.

I didn't think about it.

At first, his appearance was surprising, and then his words and deeds were even more surprising.

The eunuch asked himself, if he didn't know that the young man in front of him was Bai Yan, he wouldn't have been able to put the young man in front of him with the rumored Bai Yan who was decisive in killing and leading the troops fiercely.

Outside the palace gates.

Following the eunuch, Bai Yan came all the way to the gate of the palace and stepped into the threshold of the palace for the first time.

Just after entering, Bai Yan saw the huge Xianyang Palace in the distance at a glance through the huge open space.

Looking at the magnificent palace that symbolized the center of power in the Qin State, Bai Yan followed the eunuch step by step, his heart full of nervousness.

Until a long time, I came to the front of the hundred-step ladder, followed the eunuch, step by step on the ladder, and stepped on this step symbolizes the height of power.

Bai Yan was so nervous that he could hear his heartbeat.

At last.

Bai Yan came to a huge palace just now.

With the huge and towering palace doors open, Bai Yan stood outside the palace gate, waiting for the eunuch to enter.

While waiting for the announcement inside, Bai Yan kept taking deep breaths, feeling that time seemed to pass very slowly, and it seemed to be a blink of an eye.

The next moment.

The eunuch's proclamation came from inside the palace.

"Xuan, Bai Yan enters the hall!"

The eunuch's voice came from inside, Bai Yan was shocked, but after taking a deep breath, Bai Yan's eyes became firm and strode towards the palace.

Inside the huge palace.

Civil and military officials kneel on both sides, this is a rule that has been passed down from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, whether it is the original Shang or the later Zhou, when the officials go to court, there will be cushions to kneel and sit.

Although the Shang and Zhou dynasties have long since disappeared, both the Qin state and other vassal states have continued this tradition.

The kneeling system is to show the king's respect for talented and famous ministers.

So.

At present, Bai Yan can say that under the gaze of hundreds of civil and military officials, when entering the gate of the palace, and under the eyes of hundreds of officials, he walked towards the center of the hall step by step.

On the main hall.

A thirty-year-old man, wearing a royal crown, also looked at the young man who walked in alone from the main hall.

The man is King Yingzheng of Qin.

At this moment, Ying Zheng raised his head and looked at the young man, and he was also very surprised.

I didn't expect that Bai Yan, who had surprised him one after another, would actually look like this, or perhaps, it should be more appropriate to be called Zou Xing.

Thinking of this, the corners of Ying Zheng's mouth rose.

Because in the entire hall, he was the only one who was in power, and he knew that the young man was not a child of the Bai family at all.

The center of the main hall.

Bai Yan's head was also a little confused at the moment, even if he had made a lot of preparations, but until he really walked through the hundreds of civil and military officials of the Qin State, and really saw the man with the crown in the main hall with his own eyes, Bai Yan's mind would still be blank.

There are no ideas.

"Shangjun Gaonu City, the city guards Bai Yan, meet the king!"

Bai Yan stood in the center of the main hall, facing the Qin King Yingzheng in the main hall, bent down slightly, looked at the ground in front of him, and bowed his hand.

After saluting, Bai Yan could feel how rapid his breathing was.

"Bai Yan, no courtesy."

Bai Yan heard the man's voice in the main hall, and at this moment, his heart trembled with excitement.

He came to Qin from Qi State, and now he finally saw King Yingzheng of Qin!

And the king of Qin Yingzheng called his name personally.

Due to his excitement, Bai Yan almost forgot about Xie En, but fortunately, he reacted quickly.

"Thank you, the king!"

Bai Yan said, then raised his head and looked at the thirty-year-old Ying Zheng wearing a crown on his head in the hall in the distance.

Not fat, maybe hesitant to work all year round, his cheeks are a little thin, and his face is not beautiful, but it is by no means as ugly as some people say.

At this glance, Bai Yan looked at it very seriously, and even lost his mind a little.

Bai Yan's behavior quickly attracted the attention of King Yingzheng of Qin above.

Ying Zheng had a slight smile on his face.

For His Royal Highness, the young man's eyes, Yingzheng is no stranger, many people, the first time they see him, their eyes are so excited.

However, seeing that the young man who kept surprising him during this time, like others, was now so excited to see him for the first time, Ying Zheng said in his heart that it was false to be dissatisfied.

But Yingzheng was also a little surprised.

Compared to the excitement of the other officials when they met for the first time, he vaguely saw a trace of reverence in the young man's eyes.

Is it a delusion? Still is?

Ying Zheng was a little puzzled, but he knew that this young man was a Qi person, and it was understandable for a Qin person to see him and show such a look.

But a young Qi man showed such a look.

It's curious.

Ying Zheng clearly knows how to look at him in the eyes of the world!

"Bai Yan!"

In the main hall, Ying Zheng looked at the young man and slowly spoke.

Thinking of Meng Yu's evaluation of this young man, looking at the young man named Bai Yan now, Ying Zheng has too much curiosity, but there is one thing that must be asked at the moment.

On the main hall.

After Ying Zheng put away his smile, he gave people completely two feelings.

At this moment, looking at Ying Zheng's appearance of not smiling and not being angry, Bai Yan came back to his senses, and then he felt that Fang Cai's faux pas.

"Your Majesty is here!"

Bai Yan replied, and then waited for Ying Zheng's next sentence.

At this moment, the civil and military officials in the main hall also seemed to know about King Qin Yingzheng, and they were about to ask something, so they all looked at Bai Yan intently.

Thereinto.

Even the Changping Jun who was wearing the official uniform of the Qin State led by the civil official, Qi Qi, squinted his eyes and looked at the young man.

"The widow asks you, why did you order the burning of the city after the people migrated? Can there be consequences to consider? ”

In the main hall, Yingzheng's voice sounded.

As soon as this sentence came out.

Bai Yan, who lowered his head and gave up his hand, felt a little up and down in his heart, after all, he didn't know what Yingzheng thought of the burning of the city.

In the face of the inquiry, Bai Yan still said it truthfully.

"Back to the king, in the past, Bai Yan knew that Shangjun had no help, in the face of the invasion of the Xiongnu and Yue's army, Bai Yan was burdened with the king's grace, at that time Bai Yan only had one thought in his heart, the only way to eat the king's Lu and be loyal to the king, the only way to burn the city and destroy its momentum, lead the army to fight to the death, in order to repay the king's promotion, and did not consider the aftermath."

Bai Yan looked at King Yingzheng of Qin in the main hall and arched his hand.

In a word, Ying Zheng in the hall was very surprised.

Even the civil and military officials in the main hall looked at Bai Yan with strange expressions.

The food of the king, the matter of loyalty!

As soon as this sentence came out, those officials who were talking about Bai Yan who should lead the army to retreat in the palace suddenly looked villains.

After all, under the king's inquiry, Bai Yan said in person in the main hall that at that time, knowing that there were no reinforcements in Shangjun, in order to repay the king's kindness, he made up his mind to lead the army to fight to the death, and he didn't even have time to think about the future.

This sounds exaggerated, but no one can refute the facts, because Bai Yan did not even want his life at that time, and stayed in the bloody battle of Gaonu in Shangjun.

Inside the main hall.

Just as Bai Yan was waiting for the result, a moment later, a sentence came from the hall.

"Good!"

Bai Yan didn't know if his answer satisfied Ying Zheng, but when he heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

On the main hall, Ying Zheng turned his head to look at a eunuch, whispered a few words, and then looked at Bai Yan under the main hall, in fact, the reward for the young man had already been determined, and he just wanted to ask and heard the young man's answer with his own ears.

I watched the eunuch take the edict and read out the reward for the young man.

Ying Zheng looked at the bamboo slips on the table in front of him, which had just been presented by the eunuch officials, and there were still some traces of rain on it.

I didn't understand what it was, but I knew that it was the bamboo slip presented by the young man, so Ying Zheng still opened the bamboo slip slowly.

"King Qin's edict, Gaonu City guards Bai Yan, previously ordered the people to move, to a city of people to avoid being destroyed, but its burning of the city, although there is a blockade of the Yue, the Huns looted, but to a city of people homeless, according to Qin Lawying, the merits and demerits are offset, read that it is meritorious to guard the county, and give Bai Yan the title of left chief, 74 acres of land and houses, and another 500 gold!"

Inside the main hall.

The shrill voice of the eunuch sounded.

After hearing this, the civil and military officials began to discuss, and most of the officials nodded, but only a very few officials felt that the reward was too much, or a little less.

Among the hundred officials, Hu Quan and Mao Jiao glanced at each other, when they were in the court, they had been arguing for so long, but they didn't expect that in the end, it was decided by Qin Luying, no wonder the king would support Meng Yu.

If Meng Yu is here, all the other officials don't say it, but Meng Yu is definitely the first to stand up, and when the time comes, it is estimated that there will be another argument in the court.

"Bai Yan! Thank you, Your King! ”

Bai Yan, who was standing in the main hall, heard the contents of the edict, and was not surprised or disappointed.

Being in the Qin State, how could Bai Yan not know about Qin Luying's theory, for the burning of the city, when he was in Shangjun, General Hu Jin said that what he was most worried about was to define the burning of the city according to Qin Luying's theory.

Because it was the houses that were burned, no one knew how to decide when the time came.

Not to mention that Bai Yan was the fifth doctor at the beginning, in the Qin State, it was the title of doctor, and it was no longer based on the meritorious service of the enemy's generals, but on the basis of meritorious service.

For example, if more than 4,000 soldiers were killed in this battle, if he killed less than 6,000 enemies, he would be useless, and if he was less than 6,000, he would be fined, and if it was less than 4,000, he would be demoted.

Now.

Bai Yan knew that although the burning of the city was according to Qin Luying's theory, it was obvious that Qin Wang Yingzheng was not unaware of his merits, but as Hu Jin said, his actions could not begin.

Ying Zheng's move is that although he does not have a title, five hundred gold is a reward for Bai Yan.

Inside the main hall.

Accompanied by the edict, Bai Yan knelt on the ground, put his head on the ground, and bowed, which is also the most valuable ritual among the rituals.

This is because when the king gives a reward, the minister will do it as a token of his heartfelt gratitude to the king.

Bai Yan was already very satisfied with the result in front of him, after all, he was now crossing from the eldest doctor to the general, crossing the insurmountable gap, and there was also five hundred gold as a reward.

This has exceeded Bai Yan's expectations, after all, if it is really according to the theory of cleaning up, it is impossible to have five hundred gold!

Inside the main hall.

With the noise of civil and military officials, it disappeared.

At this time, the civil and military officials noticed that King Yingzheng of Qin in the main hall was looking at a roll of bamboo slips intently, with a particularly strange expression, as if he was smiling.

Looked at.

Many officials looked at each other with puzzled expressions, and even Li Si, Wang Juan and others looked at Qin Wang Yingzheng in surprise.

As an important minister of the Qin State, the confidant minister of King Yingzheng of Qin, even Li Si and others, it is rare for Yingzheng to show such an expression.

What is written in that bamboo slip?

"Interesting, hehe, interesting!!"

Just when Li Si, Wang Xuan, and Mao Jiao and others were puzzled, they suddenly heard the voice of Yingzheng in the main hall.

This made Li Si and others even more puzzled.

Just when Li Si and the others thought that the king would be as usual, after reading it, he would let the eunuch read it out, but they saw Yingzheng put away the bamboo slips and didn't seem to plan to say it.

See here.

Not to mention Li Si and the others, Changping Jun Qiqi, who is the head of the civil officials, frowned slightly, and became more and more confused in his heart.

Inside the entire main hall.

Perhaps only Bai Yan was full of apprehension, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he saw Yingzheng in the main hall, put away the bamboo slips, and put them aside.

"Bai Yan, get up!"

Ying Zheng in the main hall opened his mouth and said.

Even Ying Zheng, looking at the young man at the moment, was a little stunned, if he hadn't seen the words written on the bamboo slips with his own eyes, Ying Zheng couldn't believe that there was such an outrageous thing in the world.

The world thought that the young man was a child of the Bai family, named Bai Yan, but the Bai family had already written to inform him that the young man was actually called Zou Xing.

However, for now.

When I first saw the boy. The young man wrote the bamboo slips by himself and told him the origin.

The boy is not Zou Xing, but called Yan, the son of an ordinary person in Qi State, because he was expelled by the magnates of Qi State, and left Qi State, and happened to meet Zou Xing on the way to Qin State.

That is to say.

In fact, not only the world, but also the Bai family, were all kept in the dark by this young man.

Come to think of it.

Even Ying Zheng, who was in charge of the entire Qin State, couldn't help but laugh, looking at that young man, he felt extremely interesting.

This confusing experience made Ying Zheng feel unable to cry or laugh.

Ying Zheng was curious, I really don't know what Bai Shi's expression would be if he knew.

But in the same way, Ying Zheng also has a trace of sadness, the young man's experience is similar to his, he hides his identity, sends people under the fence, and does not dare to easily tell others his name.

Ying Zheng didn't doubt the young man, because if the young man didn't say it, no one would know, and there was no need to do more, and the parents, the village, and the whole story were recorded in detail in the bamboo slips.

Not to mention that this is known to the Bai family.

Thinking of this, looking at the young man, Ying Zheng really couldn't cry or laugh.

"Bestow!"

Ying Zheng turned his head to the eunuch and said.

Hearing this, the eunuch who had already been prepared, dragged the wooden plate containing the official uniform with both hands, and walked towards the young man under the Great Highness.

Inside the main hall.

Bai Yan bowed to Ying Zheng again, this time, Bai Yan looked at Ying Zheng in the main hall, and in addition to excitement and reverence, there was more gratitude in his eyes.

When a few eunuchs came over and helped him remove the Qin armor, Bai Yan honestly opened his hands.

As Qin Jia faded, the clothes inside naturally faded slowly, implying identity, status, everything was different from the past.

And yet it was at this time.

The civil and military officials of the Qin State, everyone saw that the young man with a delicate face in their eyes was covered with knife wounds, and the knife wounds were distributed on the thin body of the young man, which looked particularly hideous.

"Hiss~!"

"No wonder~!"

"This one!"

At this moment, a famous civil and military official, seeing this scene, glanced at each other, whispered, looked at the young man, his eyes were full of surprise and emotion.

If you see the boy for the first time, everyone still thinks that the boy is young.

At this moment, they saw that the young man was covered in knife wounds, and even many of the knife wounds were not healed, and it was only at this time that they saw with their own eyes how dangerous the young man's exploits were.

In the ranks of military generals, Li Xin and Qiang Qi looked at the young man, and they couldn't help but glance at each other, and the doubts outside the palace gate before were all dissipated now.

This body was injured more than them.

On the main hall.

Qin Wang Yingzheng looked at the young man who was looking at him gratefully, and lowered his head shyly.

remembered the origin of this young man, remembered the death battle of this young man in Shangjun before, and then looked at the wound of the young man.

Eat the king's fortune and be loyal to the king.

Although it was the first time he saw this young man, he didn't even say much, but in Yingzheng's heart, it was rare to have a lot of good feelings and closeness to the young man.

And among all the kingdoms, Qi is the vassal state that he has the most favor.

At the beginning of his succession to the throne and his pro-government, the Qin State was turbulent, and he was the general of Mengfu, who stabilized the society of the Qin State, and the general of Mengfu was once a Qi person.

When he solved the problem of Chang Yu and imprisoned his biological mother in Yongcheng, he was also a Qi man Mao Jiao who was not afraid of death and admonished.

Previously, the Yueshi and the Xiongnu invaded Shangjun, and it was also this young man from Qi who led the iron cavalry in Shangjun, fighting to the death, and the Yueshi and the Xiongnu looted less than half a point, but suffered heavy casualties.

Compared with the officials of other factions, compared with other capable officials, Ying Zheng has always had a good impression of the officials who used to be Qi people.

The Qi State has not participated in the wars of the vassal states for decades, and compared to the officials of other factions, they need to beware of seeking personal interests for the mother country, and the officials of the Qi family are the most reassuring.

Your Highness.

Under the service of the eunuchs, Bai Yan put on brand new clothes, an official uniform with a pattern, and wore it on his body, his hair was also curled, and he buttoned up a knight.

As the eunuch retreated, Bai Yan saw that on the main hall, King Yingzheng of Qin looked at him.

Bai Yan raised his hands and hung on his wrists along with the huge embroidery of his official uniform.

"Bai Yan, thank you!"

Bai Yan faced King Yingzheng of Qin and bowed again.

When saluting, he bowed his head and looked at the official uniform he was wearing, which symbolized the official uniform of the general.

At this moment, Bai Yan was in a trance for a moment.

Remembering that when he was a child in Qi State, he sat in the village, watching those villagers one by one, busy returning.

He remembered that when he was a child, he stood behind his grandmother, who always held a broom to drive away the mocking teenagers who were many years older than him.

I think of my parents, I think of my eldest brother, I think of my uncle and aunt.

Thinking that at his grandfather's house, after Zilu went on a blind date, the remaining girls and their parents saw him and left one after another.

When I think of the villagers of Water Village, I think of the villagers of other places and other villages.

Finally, in my mind, the words that my grandmother had said countless times came to mind.

"My grandson will be better than you! There will definitely be a Ming monarch and a virtuous king who knows my grandson, and Feng Qing will pay homage to the general! ”

Bai Yan's eyes gradually reddened, and his grandmother's words came to mind, and when he thought of his grandmother's figure, a slight smile appeared in his heart.

"Grandmother!"

"Yan'er, today, goodbye!"

"Waiting for my grandson to come back!"

With a trace of thought flying by, Bai Yan murmured in his heart.

As long as the world is unified, just wait to get rid of Qi Qi, and he can return to the village.

When the time comes, the villagers who used to laugh at their grandmother, the villagers of other villages, will no longer be able to laugh.

Come to think of it.

Bai Yan came back to his senses, and then heard the voice of Yingzheng coming from the main hall.

"Take your seat, give your seat!"

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Bai Yan raised his head, looked at Ying Zheng in the main hall, and bowed again.

"Thank you, the king!"

After finishing the salute, Bai Yan cautiously took two steps back before turning around.

Just when I turned around.

Bai Yan saw the man sitting in the position of the prime minister on the right, headed by the civil official on the side.

Right Prime Minister, Changping Jun!

Fang Cai came to the palace for the first time and saw Yingzheng, he was so excited that he almost forgot about this person.

Just as Bai Yan looked at Changpingjun and remembered Changpingjun's appearance.

Chang Pingjun also noticed Bai Yan's gaze at this time.

The two looked at each other.

Changping Jun, who is the right prime minister, cast a kind look at Bai Yan, nodded slightly, as if to express his 'affirmation' to his juniors, with an amiable appearance.

Looked at.

Bai Yan also smiled kindly, revealing closeness.

Ask yourself, if it weren't for where his uncle knew about the assassination of Bai Yu, if it wasn't for where Lu Lou learned about it, just looking at the surface, Bai Yan really couldn't believe that such a kind person was actually the mastermind behind everything.

almost made the entire high slave a person who became a hell on earth.

Fortunately, Changpingjun doesn't know that he already knows everything at the moment.

met for the first time, and there were not many scenes of Ying Zheng.

Because I want to get a big chapter, I work overtime until four o'clock, and it's late, sorry, big guys!

Love you guys!

(End of chapter)
