Chapter 414: Hu Lao, who once again protects his shortness
"Tian Ding, I heard that Yan Dan has visited you in Linzi many times, I don't know that Yan Dan planned to assassinate the widow, do you know?" In the main hall, Ying Zheng, who was kneeling on the throne, looked at Tian Ding, who was making a ceremony under His Royal Highness, and the first thing he said was to ask about Yan Dan.
Whenever he thought of Yan Dan sending assassins to turn into envoys to assassinate him, the anger in Ying Zheng's heart made Ying Zheng's breathing become short, but as the king of Qin, Ying Zheng knew the overall situation and kept his sanity, and did not say that Yan Dan had visited Tian Ding many times, so what would he do to Tian Ding.
But after beating Tian Ding, Yingzheng was still very happy. Your Highness. The civil and military officials were still looking at Li Si and Xunzhou, and suddenly heard the voice of Yingzheng in the main hall, and they were all startled.
Yan Dan sent assassins to assassinate Ying Zheng, this incident is not only a shadow for Ying Zheng, but also a matter of deep memory for the civil and military officials in the main hall.
What's more, all the civil and military officials know how angry Ying Zheng is about the assassination, when Bai Yan was carried away in a coma on the main hall, Ying Zheng stood on the main hall and looked at the eyes of everyone in the hall.
in the main hall. When Xunzhou and Lin Anshun heard Ying Zheng's words, they also breathless, and their expressions became extremely serious.
At this moment, Lin Anshun and Xunzhou didn't expect that Ying Zheng's first sentence was to ask about Yan Dan's visit to Tian Ding, and it was not difficult to hear from Ying Zheng's words that Ying Zheng knew that Yan Dan and Tian Ding had often interacted.
This can't help but make Xunzhou and Lin Anshun a little worried. After all, no one dares to guarantee that Ying Zheng will not do anything to Tian Ding when he is angry.
"Back to the King of Qin, Yan Dan came to see Tian Ding several times before, all of them wanted to persuade Tian Ding, join Qi Yan and Alliance Wei Chu, and jointly send troops to the Qin State, Tian Ding had a friendship with Qin Qi, and refused to be polite when he talked for the first time, Yan Dan came to the door several times with Yan Gongzi!" Tian Ding heard Ying Zheng's inquiry, as a party, Tian Ding was not worried at all at this moment.
Tian Ding knew Ying Zheng's intention to let him come to Xianyang, and Ying Zheng's answer was nothing more than an answer, what he wanted was when the Qin State destroyed Yan, he Tian Ding was in Xianyang, Qin State, as for Yan Dan's assassination, whether he Tian Ding knew about it or not, it didn't matter at all, because the Qin State already had a reason to destroy the Yan State.
If Ying Zheng was angry and ordered him to be killed, then Ying Zheng would not have destroyed other forces step by step when the Qin State was in turmoil, and finally came to this day and became the king in charge of a country.
"Tian Ding never thought that the Yandan Alliance of Korean countries would not succeed, and he actually tried in vain to order the assassin to assassinate! Fortunately, King Qin has General Bai Yan in front of him, and King Qin is safe! As Tian Ding spoke, he quietly talked about Bai Yan's protection of Yingzheng, turned around, and stretched out his hand to point at the young man in the ranks of military generals not far away.
Magnificent hall. After Tian Ding's voice fell, everyone couldn't help but look at Bai Yan. Fortunately, at this time, among the civil and military officials, Hu Lao's figure slowly walked out, came to the center of the main hall, and saluted Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, Qi envoy said, the minister agreed, wanted Yan to assassinate, my king was frightened, and General Bai Yan almost died, thanks to the protection of God. Now my Qin country sent troops, inherited the way of heaven, and cut down the Yan country, and the minister thought that he should sacrifice to the heavens and tell the world that my king was protected by the blessings of heaven! After Hu Lao finished speaking.
Among the hundreds of civil and military officials in the main hall, many officials got up one after another, stood up together, and saluted Ying Zheng.
"The ministers seconded it!"
"My king is protected by the blessings of heaven, and the ministers second!!"
"The ministers seconded it!!" Five officials, ten officials, as more and more officials seconded the ceremony, for a while, even Li Si, Changping Jun, Wei Yu and others also joined in with the ceremony.
After all, the current non-compliant actions are too conspicuous. Everyone says that Yingzheng is a good person and is deeply protected by God, if you don't congratulate him together, do you think that Yingzheng is not a person protected by God, do you still want to tell the people of the world that Yingzheng is not a king of a country favored by God.
The people in the court, although there are mediocre people, but this bit of vision still has to be there, when everyone exaggerates the government, they must echo it together, and the more excited the better.
Le Shang had been deeply rooted in the essence before, and he didn't know if it was taught by the elders in the clan or born with it.
"Good!" On the main hall, Ying Zheng looked at the words of the hundred officials in unison, and a smile appeared on his face, after all, who doesn't like to hear others say that they are deeply blessed by God, for thousands of years, up to the king, scared the cultivators, no one is outside.
Although Ying Zheng also knew that Hu Lao saw Tian Ding deliberately mentioning Bai Yan, he pretended to guide him in his words, and he was worried that Bai Yan would come out.
But for Hu Lao's words, Ying Zheng is not lamenting whether he is deeply blessed by God. After all, Qin Wuyang, who was also one of the assassins at the beginning, was suddenly afraid, so Jing Ke stepped forward, and it happened that Qin Wuyang provoked Bai Yan in Hangu Pass, Bai Yan hurt his face, so he took the initiative to replace Qin Wuyang, looking at the entire court, Ying Zheng knew that there were very few people who could block the assassination at that time, and Bai Yan was one of them, not to mention that if it was a different person, even if he had the ability, Ying Zheng would not dare to say it, and he could sacrifice his life to block him and suffer for him.
All this, coupled with the things that happened when he was young and when he succeeded to the throne. When Yingzheng heard Hu Lao's words, he didn't feel a little emotional, if it weren't for God's blessing, I'm afraid that he would not be able to do it today.
Your Highness. Tian Ding looked at the appearance of the civil and military officials, and listened to Ying Zheng's words and did not look at Ying Zheng, but at the elderly Hu Lao.
Fang Cai Tian Ding deliberately gave Ying Zheng eye medicine, and quietly deliberately said that it was fortunate that Bai Yan was there, and Ying Zheng was safe and sound, don't underestimate this sentence, this simple sentence will usually make Ying Zheng happy, but now Xianyang City is full of gossip, and those gossips continue to enter Ying Zheng's ears, even if Ying Zheng is broad-minded, but with more and more words, Ying Zheng will eventually have impatience.
At this time, add this sentence of your own. Bai Qi, rumors, the king is meritorious, and he does not go to Bai Qi's end, these words add together, it is easy to make Ying Zheng dissatisfied with Bai Yan, and let Bai Yan form a complacent image in Ying Zheng's heart.
As long as there is dissatisfaction in his heart, even if he thinks of merit and does not kill Bai Yan in the future, he will no longer be allowed to be in a high position, especially the prime minister under the king of a country.
However, Tian Ding didn't expect that he finally spent the price, in order to say that sentence in the main hall at this time, but in a blink of an eye, he was dissolved by a Hu Quan.
For Hu Quan, Tian Ding naturally has an impression that his father was defeated by Zhao Hao in Yanhe, and Zhao Hao became one of the world's famous generals in the first battle.
But Tian Ding didn't expect that Hu Quanneng would react so quickly, and he would not hesitate to stand up to protect Bai Yan.
"I forgot that there is another Hu Quan!" Tian Ding secretly regretted in his heart. In Tian Ding's plan, Bai Yu of the Bai family was a martial artist, and Bai Yan was the party involved, so in the face of his trap, the Bai family had no solution at all.
Looking at Hu Quan, who was protecting his shortcomings, Tian Ding knew that it was impossible to stumble Bai Yan in the court.
Fortunately, those gossips are still fermenting, and over time, they will still have an impact on Bai Yan.
"What do the envoys of Qi think?" Ying Zheng's voice sounded in the main hall, Tian Ding came back to his senses, saw Ying Zheng looking at him with a smile on his face, and slowly raised his hand.
"King Qin is indeed deeply protected by the heavens, and there is nothing wrong with sacrificing to the heavens! Tian Ding, on behalf of my King Qi, congratulated King Qin!! Tian Ding echoed softly, not only echoing, but also standing in the position of Qin Qi's friendship, congratulating Yingzheng and making the etiquette of the envoys of Qi State thorough.
················· Downwards and backwards. As soon as Yingzheng left, Bai Yan got up, came to Hu Lao among the civil and military officials, and saluted Hu Lao.
"Bai Yan, thank you Hu Lao Fang for relieving the kid!" Bai Yan said to Hu Lao, his words were full of gratitude.
Bai Yu also came over at this time, and greeted Hu Lao with a grateful salute, for Tian Ding's words, Bai Yu didn't react at first, until Hu Lao finished speaking for a long time, he didn't know Tian Ding's intentions, and then he was also scared out of a cold sweat by Tian Ding.
Bai Yu didn't dare to imagine how dangerous Fang Cai would be if Bai Yan was really a disciple of the Bai family, not only for Bai Yan, but also for the entire Bai family.
gritted his teeth with hatred for Tian Ding, Bai Yu was also very glad that there was Hu Lao in the court, if it weren't for Hu Lao, even if he Bai Yu woke up, he couldn't think of how to open his mouth to relieve Bai Yan, after all, it was a fact that Bai Yan gave up his life to protect the king, and it was self-defeating to talk nonsense, and Tian Ding seized the opportunity, no one dared to say what Tian Ding would say.
Although Bai Yan is not a disciple of the Bai family, although Hu Lao doesn't know about this matter, but looking at the old Hu Lao in front of him, thinking of Hu Lao's actions, not to mention Bai Yan, even he Bai Yu, can't help but feel warm in his heart.
Bai Yu and Hu Jin have a very good relationship, and they have always regarded Hu Lao as an elder.
"It's okay, in the future, you should be careful of Tian Ding, today's incident is not a bad thing, at least I know that the rumors in the city are all Tian Ding's conspiracy!" Hu Lao looked at the two uncles and nephews of the Bai family, smiled and waved his hand.
Especially looking at the young Bai Yan, this Bai family disciple has such achievements now as a young man, Hu Lao believes that one day Bai Yan will go further, until he supports the pillars of the Qin State alone.
This is Hu Lao's expectation of Bai Yan, and Hu Lao, who is good friends with the Bai family, naturally does not allow anyone to harm Bai Yan before that day comes.
"Yes! Bai Yan will definitely remember Hu Lao's words! Bai Yan saw Hu Lao's concerned eyes, his heart was full of warmth, this kind of loving eyes of the elders taking care of the younger generations, Bai Yan was sincerely grateful to Hu Lao.
"Boy, go to Hu Mansion to visit Hu Lao more in the future!" Bai Yu looked at Bai Yan and said angrily.
Bai Yan nodded sensibly. Looking at Bai Yu, to be honest, except for his birth and background, he rarely envied Bai Yu's Bai Yan, but now, Bai Yan was a little envious of Bai Yu for the first time, because Bai Yan knew that one of the prerequisites for Hu Lao to protect his shortcomings was that he always thought that he was a disciple of the Bai family.
Come to think of it. Bai Yan was also a little relieved, and his envy slowly faded. For Bai Yan, although he does not have an elder with status like Hu Lao, in Linzi, a distant Qi country, he has a maternal grandmother who loves him the most.
Hu Lao's kindness is remembered in his heart, and he will definitely repay Hu Lao several times when he has the opportunity in the future.
"General Bai, the king ordered you to go to the study!" A eunuch suddenly walked over and said to Bai Yanji.
Bai Yan nodded when he heard this, and saluted Hu Lao again.
"Go ahead!" Seeing this, Hu Lao and Bai Yu both nodded. Inside the city of Xianyang. In Mao Jiao's mansion, with a servant bringing Tian Ding over, Mao Jiao stood in the pavilion and saluted Tian Ding.
After Tian Ding returned the salute to Mao Jiao, the two knelt in the pavilion.
"Lord Mao is in the Qin Kingdom, comfortable and comfortable!" Tian Ding knelt behind the wooden table, glanced at the scenery around the pavilion, and sighed softly.
"Compared to Lord Tian, Mao Jiao is not worth mentioning!" Mao Jiao smiled and waved his hand, anti-praising Tian Ding's mansion. As the maid came up with the fruit and tea, Mao Jiao looked at Tian Ding quietly, and naturally knew Tian Ding's intention in his heart.
"What does Lord Mao think of Qin Guo's Yan?" Tian Ding turned his head to look at Mao Jiao. One was wearing the official uniform of the State of Qi and the other was wearing the official uniform of the State of Qin, and the two gathered together to talk about the State of Yan, which had to cause emotion.
"What Yan Dan did was immoral, and Yan Guo was unjust, so he should be defeated!" Mao Jiao explained softly. Tian Ding heard Mao Jiao's words and nodded.
"What about Qi Guo? Can the Qin State have a day to attack the Qi State? Tian Ding looked at Mao Jiao again. This time, Tian Ding did not talk about Yan State, but mentioned Qin State, to be honest, Mao Jiao was in Qi State a long time ago, but at that time Tian Ding was still young, and it was not his turn to make decisions in the court of Qin Tian Ding, plus he met his wife Lu Shi, at that time, he was focused on Lu Shi, and Tian Ding didn't care about Mao Jiao's departure at all.
However, more than ten years have passed, as Mao Jiao served as the secretary of state in Qin, and as the state of Qin became stronger and stronger, Tian Ding saw Mao Jiao again, how not to be melancholy.
"What do you mean by Lord Tian?" Mao Jiao didn't take Tian Ding's words, but looked at Tian Ding. When it comes to the mother country, Mao Jiao said that it is false not to miss it, after all, Mao Jiao is a native of Qi, there is no doubt about this, and it is worthy of helping Qin to destroy other countries Mao Jiao, but when he thinks of his mother country, Mao Jiao is also a little complicated.
The word "mother country" has weight for anyone.
"You and I both know that once the Qin State annexes Chu Wei in the future, we will definitely not let go of the Qi State!" Tian Ding did not hide it, and said bluntly.
Looking at the aged Mao Jiao in front of him, the Qin State had already sent troops to prepare to destroy Yan, since Tian Ding came to Xianyang of the Qin State, he would definitely not do nothing, and Mao Jiao, who was a Qi person, was the first person Tian Ding wanted to see.
Once in the Qi State, Mao Jiao was wary of his Tian Ding and was afraid of his Tian Ding's power, but now in Xianyang, Qin State, he Mao Jiao should be able to let down his guard and have a good chat.
"Why did Lord Tian say this, Mao Jiao can't stop the Qin State!" Mao Jiao heard Tian Ding's words, his eyes were a little complicated, and then he smiled helplessly and shook his head.
"However, there is still time now, if Mao Lao returns to Qi Country and cultivates great talents for Qi Country, Qi Country will not be able to survive in the future." Tian Ding said what he meant.
In Tian Ding's eyes, now that the Qin State is attacking the Yan State, the Chu Wei State is still there, and the Qi State still has a lot of time, ten, twenty, or even thirty or fifty years.
"You underestimate the Qin State too much!" Mao Jiao said. After finishing speaking, Mao Jiao turned his head to look at the scenery outside the pavilion, and saw that the small rockery was full of dead branches and rotten leaves.
Tian Ding felt the refreshment of the breeze blowing through the gazebo, and took a sip of tea from the teacup.
"Lord Mao is now old, serving as the secretary of state in Qin, but only in this life, why not return to the country of Qi, one day even if the country of Qi is destroyed in the hands of the state of Qin, Lord Mao is worthy of the mother country, all people in the world will be grateful for Lord Mao's actions!" Tian Ding put down the teacup and sighed.
A few breaths later. Mao Jiao turned his head, looked at Tian Ding, and then laughed. To tell the truth, Mao Jiao has a solid admiration for Tian Ding, although Tian Ding is much younger than him, but in terms of people's hearts and human nature, Tian Ding is the most powerful person Mao Jiao has ever seen.
Tian Ding's simple words, even Mao Jiao, couldn't help but be moved. When you become famous, who doesn't want to return to your hometown, let your childhood friends, let your old friends when you were studying, and let the younger generations of Jixia School Palace see and enjoy the love of the people of your mother country.
Looking at Tian Ding in front of him, decisive and ability, Mao Jiao is also difficult to find a second person among the clans of all countries, it can be said that the importance of Tian Ding to the Qi State is even more important than the original Qin Lizi to the Qin State.
"Lord Tian holds Mao Jiao high, Mao Jiao is embarrassed, and Lord Tian is still looking for someone else!" Mao Jiao said to Tian Ding, and after finishing speaking, he put away his smile.
Seeing this, Tian Ding looked at Mao Jiao's eyes, full of disappointment, and shook his head slightly.
"The loss of the Lord of Qi is like the loss of a beam in a temple, it is not only the pain of the King of Qi, but also the pain of the people of Qi, and the State of Qi is not in danger of collapsing!" Tian Ding said.
In the words, Mao Jiao was said to be the pillar of the Qi country, and the Qi country that lost Mao Jiao, all the Qi people, including the king of Qi, were extremely sad, and even the Qi country was in danger of losing the country because of the loss of Mao Jiao.
This remark, it is estimated that if you change to an ordinary old Confucian, it is estimated that your blood will surge, even if you are seventy or eighty years old, you will have to go back to Qi country.
But Mao Jiao shook his head.
"Just now in the court, why did Lord Tian say what he said, as far as Mao Jiao knew, Lord Tian and General Bai have no hatred!" Mao Jiao turned the topic to Tian Ding's stumbling block to Bai Yan, this sentence was also a disguised inquiry, why Tian Ding, who was a dignified Qi clan's clan, wanted to stumble on a young general, and he was so unscrupulous, he Mao Jiao was a little puzzled.
"Could it be that in the eyes of Lord Tian, General Bai has a white posture?" Mao Jiao looked at Tian Ding. When talking about Bai Yan, Mao Jiao looked at Tian Ding in front of him full of complexity, because Mao Jiao not only knew that it was Tian Ding who drove the young man out of Qi State, but also went to Linzi in person, went to the young man's home, and saw the young man's family.
Mao Jiao really wanted to tell Tian Ding in person, Bai Yan in your eyes, this young and famous young general, the person you did not hesitate to set up in person today, is the young man you ordered your servants to drive him out of the Qi country.
But Mao Jiao won't say it. Because Mao Jiao has always remembered Ying Zheng's instructions, Ying Zheng not only has the grace of promotion and reuse for Mao Jiao, but also has a trust in it.
Mao Jiao has lived most of his life, and he doesn't want to ruin his lifelong reputation and become a villain when he is about to enter the earth.
Inside the gazebo. Tian Ding shook his head when he heard Mao Jiao's inquiry, and smiled helplessly in Mao Jiao's puzzled gaze.
"It's not just nothing!" Tian Ding said in a slightly melancholy tone. This sentence made Mao Jiao full of surprise, and his eyes were full of surprise to look at Tian Ding, there are not many people in this world who can make Tian Ding pay so much attention, not to mention that obviously the young man is far more than Tian Ding in his eyes.
This made Mao Jiao curious. It stands to reason that the relationship between the young man and Mao Jiao should not know each other very well, but for half a month, why did Tian Ding have such high praise for Bai Yan.
