Chapter 420: Ying Zheng's thoughts, on the eve of the Chu chaos
When Bai Yan returned to Bai Yu's mansion, it was already late at night. However, in the study, Bai Bo and the others still didn't sleep, and they were all relieved to see Bai Yan come back.
"Where are you going today? That's when I returned! After Bai Yu saw Bai Yan come back, he asked with a smile, the smile on his face was the same as before, which made Bai Yan a little uncomfortable.
After all, in Bai Yan's eyes, Bai Yu treats him like a little man, and his words and deeds are always straightforward, this smile ...... What does that mean?
"I'll go to the embassy today, and I'll see my friend Rui Wei later!" After Bai Yan saluted everyone, he looked at Bai Yu with some confusion in his eyes.
"Rui Wei?" When Bai Bo and Bai Yan heard Bai Yan's words, they remembered that this Rui Wei was a squire, a disciple of the Rui family.
However, I heard that Bai Yan went to the embassy of Qi State today. Come to think of it. Bai Bo looked at Bai Yan.
"I received news today, I heard that Tian Ding seems to have been looking for someone during this time, and I don't know who he is looking for!" Bai Bo opened his mouth and said, shaking his head slightly, his eyes full of doubts.
Although this is Xianyang, Tian Ding, as a relative of the Qi State, also has a lot of connections in Xianyang, so Tian Ding's whereabouts have always been very secretive, and his purpose is even more difficult to figure out.
"If you can let Tian Ding find it, I'm afraid this person must be extremely important to Tian Ding. It's a pity that Tian Ding acted cautiously, and if he wanted to find out who Tian Ding was looking for, the chances were slim. Bai Yan also sighed.
Previously, Tian Ding had stumbled Bai Yan three times and twice, and openly separated Bai Yan in the court of the Qin State, although Hu Lao protected Bai Yan that day, but for the Bai family, he and Tian Ding had already made a feud.
Therefore, at the moment, even if Tian Ding is not secretly plotting against Bai Yan, if there is a chance, the Bai family naturally does not want Tian Ding to be happy.
"Boy, who taught you to arrange the Luoyin Bureau?" Bai Yu saw that the two brothers were talking about Tian Ding's affairs, and he didn't take it to heart, if Tian Ding was so easy to deal with, and it was so easy to know his purpose, it would not be a feared Tian Ding, at the moment, he was more concerned about Luoyin's affairs than Tian Ding.
"I asked a few times before, but you kid didn't say it!" As Bai Yu spoke, he picked up the bamboo slip on the table and waved it at Bai Yan, with a smile on his face.
"Before going to Qin Road, I saw two traders crossing the river and arguing about a few dollars, and after crossing the river, I went to the restaurant and did not hesitate to spend hundreds of dollars to make the beauty smile, and I just remembered it for a while! It's not a famous teacher! Bai Yan listened to Bai Yu's mention of Luoyin, looked at the bamboo slip in Bai Yu's hand, and immediately knew that the news of Luoyin had been sent, and he didn't hide it when he saw this, so he just found a reason to explain.
"What did you kid think of yourself?" When Bai Yu heard Bai Yan's words, his eyes widened, he was a little puzzled, and his eyes looked at Bai Yan in disbelief.
Seeing this, Bai Yan looked down at himself with some doubts, and then looked at Bai Yan, not understanding what Bai Yu's expression was, why couldn't it be that he came up with it?
Day 2. Before that, in the study room of the Xianyang Palace, Bai Yan and Yingzheng, who had a day off, immediately had to face the soaring workload after the break.
Although he did not go to the court, the affairs of the entire counties and counties of the Qin State were still continuously presented to Xianyang.
Bai Yan is okay, so he will help to present the bamboo silk, and after Ying Zheng deals with it, put it away, some things that need to be remembered will also be kept in mind, it is Ying Zheng who is tired, looking at Ying Zheng's busy appearance, Bai Yan sighed, and fortunately Ying Zheng's physique is not bad, otherwise my body may have collapsed long ago.
"Your Majesty, a secret letter from the State of Chu overnight!" A eunuch held a rolled-up cloth, walked into the study, and said to Ying Zheng.
Seeing this, Bai Yan walked up to the eunuch, picked up the secret letter in the eunuch's hand, and handed it to Yingzheng. Ying Zheng heard the news that it was from Chu State overnight, and knew that it must not be a trivial matter, so he put down the bamboo slip in his hand, took the secret letter and opened it, after reading it, Ying Zheng raised his head, sighed, and handed the secret letter to Bai Yan.
"Check it out!" Ying Zheng said to Bai Yan. Bai Yan looked at Ying Zheng's eyes and knew what Ying Zheng meant, so in front of Ying Zheng, he looked at the cloth and looked at the news that the King of Chu had died violently, and his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.
"Your Majesty, the country of Chu is going to be in chaos!" Bai Yan looked at Ying Zheng and spoke. Don't look at the death of the king of Chu, for Qin, the death of the king of Chu also means that the situation of Chu and even the situation of the world will be affected, before Qin destroyed Han, Qin destroyed Zhao, and even now Qin sent troops to destroy Yan, all considering that the king of Chu has been seriously ill and dying, and Chu does not dare to send troops easily.
Now that the dying King of Chu has died violently, it means that there is a struggle within the Chu State, and the Chu State in chaos will not appear until the next King of Chu appears.
"Chu State!" Ying Zheng got up, slowly came to the window, and looked at the scene outside.
"Someone! summoned and ordered the left and right prime ministers Kui, Guowei, and Tingwei....... Enter the palace to discuss matters! Ying Zheng shouted.
And the eunuch, who was originally waiting in the distance, hurriedly saluted Ying Zheng, and then slowly retreated.
"Bai Yan, in your eyes, this is the time to destroy Chu?" Ying Zheng looked out the window and asked softly.
Although Bai Yan is young, Ying Zheng is very clear about Bai Yan's ability to lead troops in battle, and his talent is no less than that of other generals in the court, whether it is the battle exploits of destroying Han, or the famous Gaonu battle, or even fighting with Li Mu, Bai Yan has never disappointed him.
Therefore, at the moment, in the face of the violent death of the king of Chu and the imminent turmoil of the Chu State, Ying Zheng could not suppress the excitement in his heart, so he chose to ask Bai Yan.
"Back to the king!" Bai Yan stood at the wooden table, listening to Ying Zheng's inquiry, his face was thoughtful, and then he saluted Ying Zheng.
"I think that now is not the time to destroy Chu!" Bai Yan didn't hesitate too much before speaking.
This made Ying Zheng, who was standing by the window, quite surprised, and surprised Bai Yan's decisiveness.
"Your Majesty, in the eyes of the ministers, Qin and Chu will have a war, if you take advantage of the sudden death of the king of Chu and attack Chu now, it will only be the state of Chu, which was originally prepared for civil strife, and work together to deal with the state of Qin, which is not good for the state of Qin, if at this time the state of Qin is caught in a war with the state of Chu, it will definitely allow the state of Wei and the state of Yan to take the opportunity to recover their homeland, and even help the destroyed Han and Zhao remnants to restore the country. Therefore, the minister thinks that it is better to watch the chaos of Chu now, and the Qin State will take the opportunity to destroy Yan and Wei, and after Qin annexes Yan and Wei, he will destroy the Chu State! At that time, the Qin State had enough time to send troops to destroy the Chu State, one year could not be two years, two years could not be three years! The isolated and helpless State of Chu can hold out for a few years, and it can block the successive attacks of the Qin State! Bai Yan said to Ying Zheng.
The front is an analysis, and the latter paragraph is even more clear that Ying Zheng is very excited at the moment, so what he just said, Bai Yan knows that only by letting Ying Zheng's mind see the scene where the Chu State will only be destroyed by the Qin State in the future, Ying Zheng will easily give up the current temptation.
I have to say that Bai Yan did not guess wrong. With some remarks, Ying Zheng, who was originally standing by the window, turned around and looked at Bai Yan directly.
Fang Cai's words were not only reasonable, but the last remarks poked into Yingzheng's heart, not only dispelling the current intention of sending troops to attack the Chu State, but also as if seeing the picture of the whole world returning to the Qin State in the future.
"It feels like a superfluous move for the widow to summon those ministers!" Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile and said. At this moment, Ying Zheng's expression and Fang Cai saw the violent death of the King of Chu is dignified, and the judgment is like two people.
"Right now, the state of Chu is about to be in chaos, how about the state of Qin?" Ying Zheng looked at Bai Yan with a smile and asked. Bai Yan arched his hand at Yingzheng.
"Let the country of Chu be chaotic, chaos, the more chaotic the better, the longer the better!" Bai Yan said. Ying Zheng laughed when he heard Bai Yan's words.
"Hahaha, Cai!" After laughing, Ying Zheng looked at Bai Yan, and was even more convinced of his thoughts, although Bai Yan led the troops, for the Qin State, and even for him, the King of Qin, he was very relieved, with Bai Yan leading the troops to guard Yanmen, there was no need to worry about the many nomadic tribes in the north going south.
But compared with Bai Yan's ability to lead the troops, Yingzheng attaches more importance to Bai Yan's talent. If it was before Luoyin's incident, Bai Yan's talent was intelligent, and Ying Zheng could also understand that it was Tian Jin who preached, and Ying Zheng still agreed with Tian Jin's ability.
However, after the Luoyin edict, Bai Yan's talent and understanding of the situation made Ying Zheng deeply realize that as Tian Jin's apprentice, I am afraid that Bai Yan's talent and learning have already surpassed his teacher Tian Jin.
Otherwise, if Tian Jin could seek the world with one city like Bai Yan, how could the Qi country still be the current Qi country!
So. As early as when he received a secret letter from Bai Yan from Luoyin, after Ying Zheng read the news, he had already decided that he would take Bai Yan with him in the future and promote him to the middle attendant, and when the old ministers of the court returned to seclusion, he would let Bai Yan take his place.
There are many generals in the court who can lead the army of Qin, not to mention the generals under 10,000 people, but there are Qiangqi, Wang Li, Li You, Li Xin, Meng Tian and others above 10,000 people, and a number of young Zhuang generals are from famous families, and more than 100,000 people, Wang Jian Wang Ben, father and son, Xin Sheng, Yang Duanhe, Feng Zai, Hu Jin and others, are even more numerous.
It is indeed a rare good thing that there are more famous generals like Bai Yan in the Qin State, and they are from a clean background, and it can also reassure Yingzheng, who is the king of Qin.
But Ying Zheng knows better that what the Qin State lacks more now is still great talent, and the great talent who can share Anbang's worries for him in the court, Kui Zheng, Wang Xuan, Feng Qujian and others are all old, not to mention the Shaozhuang faction, that is, the middle class, none of them are embarrassed by the big responsibility.
The appearance of Bai Yan made Ying Zheng see the solution to the predicament of the Qin State, and now the Qin State has attacked and established, and the destruction of Han and Zhao has caused dissatisfaction among the soldiers of the world, and the scholars of all countries are unwilling to enter Qin.
Such a young Bai Yan, where is Ying Zheng willing to let people go to other places, once Bai Yan has three longs and two shorts, the predicament of the Qin State court will inevitably repeat the mistakes of the past, and at that time, where will the Qin State still have time.
"This matter of Chu State will be handed over to Changping Jun to deal with!" Ying Zheng sighed, and when he looked out the window again, although he no longer had the excitement and joy of Fang Cai, it was much easier for Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this time, perhaps, we can also take the opportunity to solve the Yingchuan chaos together!" Bai Yan heard Ying Zheng's words and said to Ying Zheng.
"Yingchuan?" Ying Zheng just relaxed for a few breaths, and when he heard Bai Yan's words, his brows furrowed slightly, his face was thoughtful, and then he immediately thought of the meaning of Bai Yan's words.
"You want to take advantage of Han Wang'an! Get rid of those warrior forces in Yingchuan in one fell swoop? Ying Zheng turned around and looked at Bai Yan again.
In just a while, Bai Yan had already surprised Ying Zheng twice, looking at Bai Yan who nodded his head, Ying Zheng's eyes were full of smiles.
Bai Yan wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the Chu State and had no time to meddle in the affairs of Yingchuan, and attack Yingchuan, killing two birds with one stone, but what Bai Yan didn't know was that in the eyes of his Yingzheng, this matter was actually a triple win, because in addition to the Chu State and Yingchuan, there was also the Chu family, and Yingzheng had been planning for two years for this matter.
After the fall of Korea two years ago, he ordered Han Wang'an to move to Yingchen, and preparations had already begun. Thinking of this, Ying Zheng is not in a hurry to inform Bai Yan of this matter at the moment, there are some things that need to be understood by Bai Yan, and when Bai Yan comprehends it, he will naturally understand when he Ying Zheng started to quietly prepare to make a move on the Chu system.
"After Changpingjun, Wei Yi and the others leave, you go and leave Li Si, the widow needs to talk to Li Si alone!" Ying Zheng commanded softly, and as he walked towards the desk, he was ready to continue to deal with affairs before Wei Yu and the others arrived, otherwise there would be too much backlog of affairs, and he would be even busier in the future.
"No!" Bai Yan heard Yingzheng's words and hurriedly received the order. ......... Yanmen is good.
As the dry season passes, the continuous rains for months continue to nourish the land, and everything grows new, as if God is compensating.
After sunset, as the place of Yanmen County, Shanwu City is still quite lively, although it is not as good as Handan, Taoyi, Luoyang and other famous rich places in the world, but it is also a unique partiality and a couple.
Because of its proximity to the northern grassland, as one of the many shops in Yanmen Shanwu City, it also has scenery that Luoyin and Handan do not have.
In Lu's Restaurant. As the sun sets, taxis and businessmen who are busy all day or all day long naturally come to the restaurant in groups.
For thousands of years, in addition to three meals a day, don't let men be satisfied, once satisfied, they will be lustful, whether it is between colleagues, businessmen, friends, will always revolve around the wine culture.
"Have you heard? Yingzheng divided Luoyin, as Bai Yan's fief, is now Bai Yan, the county lieutenant here in Yanmen! ”
"I've heard about this matter a long time ago, I listened to the people in Luoyin during this time, after Bai Yan got the fief, the three old scholars in Luoyin also joined forces to deal with Bai Yan, but the back, ah....... "In the private room."
As several middle-aged businessmen who were quite well-dressed gathered together to drink and talk with each other, Cen Qing obediently asked the restaurant woman to come in and pour wine for the guests.
Listening to the words of those rich businessmen, and listening to the things related to that young man, Cen Qingmei's eyes were full of flashes.
Fief!!! Even if she is from a humble background and is basically a woman from a small village, Cen Qing is extremely clear about the meaning of these two words, and how much time there is for heroes, what she wants all her life is nothing more than money and power, but fiefdom!
But it is like Fengjun, a dream that many men dream of but can't get. For thousands of years, non-royal relatives, their ancestors have been in the shadows, and a few people can be rewarded by the king with fiefs.
And that teenager did it! If it weren't for this time, ten, twenty, dozens and hundreds of guests, all talking about this matter, Cen Qing couldn't believe anything, the young man in the water village at the beginning had now been rewarded by the king with a fief.
The matter of the fiefdom has made Cen Qing hear about it so far, and she is in a trance. Recalling that in the water village, those villagers who laughed at the teenagers, as well as in their own villages, when they talked about the teenagers, the elders and even those respected old people showed laughing smiles.
"Beauty, can you sit down and have two drinks with me!" The words of a businessman made Cen Qing come back to his senses, and he looked at the middle-aged man with a confident face, but his eyes were squinting, and Cen Qing saluted the man.
"Excuse me, don't drink!" Cen Qing said to the middle-aged wealthy businessman. A long time ago, before the young man left, he didn't know what he had explained, but since then, Cen Qing found that the shopkeeper of the restaurant no longer let himself accompany the wine, and was mostly responsible for leading guests and arranging private rooms.
Although it is busy, it does not let other men take advantage, compared to the busy day and day outside Linzi, this life is a very decent job in Cen Qing's eyes, if she meets a generous guest, she is happy, maybe the guest will reward her with one or two dollars.
"Don't drink?" When the middle-aged wealthy businessman heard Cen Qing's words, his brows furrowed slightly, he was a little disappointed, and looked up and down the woman in front of him with his eyes silently.
This made the well-informed middle-aged wealthy businessman can't help but feel a little thoughtful, but now he heard the woman's words, but he was a little surprised.
"Brother Zhu, you don't know! This girl is a girl, but she doesn't accompany the wine, and I don't know how many people are so hungry that they can't eat! You, don't think about it hahahaha! ”
"Hahahahaha!!" In the private room, the other men laughed and teased. For these middle-aged men, it is normal to talk about women, but for this girl, everyone is indeed itchy, and the reason for the itch is not anything else, but simply not eating!
This makes people want to take a bite even more. Good is not in the city. In the county governor's mansion, Wei Lao was in the pavilion, listening to the reports of the people behind him, and his face was thoughtful.
And just after Hu Cong left, Zhao Qiu walked from the courtyard to Wei Lao's side.
"Old Wei, there is news from Xianyang that Yingzheng plans to take Bai Yan with him!" Zhao Qiu stood beside Wei Lao, looking at the scenery outside the pavilion, in the dim sunset, Zhao Qiu did not feel beautiful, but was a little irritable.
"Although Luoyin is good, after all, it is in the homeland of Qin State, so close to Xianyang, whether it is for us or for him, it is not as good as this Yanmen!" Zhao Qiu said softly.
Thinking of the layout of Luoyin, although he is in Yanmen, Zhao Qiu has always been concerned about the situation in Luoyin, so when Bai Yan arrived in Luoyin to investigate the case, Zhao Qiu and Wei Lao received the news.
And then everything after that is naturally clear.
"Don't worry, it won't! If you don't mention you and me, even if you are worried, it is not suitable to go to Luoyin, that kid is not a person who will let others down! When Wei Lao heard Zhao Qiu's words, he reached out and took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Zhao Qiu.
Zhao Qiu took the cloth, looked at the contents, and breathed a sigh of relief after reading it.
"It's good not to go to Luoyin!" After finishing speaking, Zhao Qiu turned around and walked towards the courtyard. Wei Lao turned his head to look at the back of Zhao Qiu leaving, and shook his head, since he rejected Zhao Qiu's suggestion, Zhao Qiu had been sullen, and after learning from him some time ago that Bai Yan was in Luoyin's layout, he was even more resentful of him, an old man.
"Tian Ding, Tian Ding! Now that you are in Xianyang, he is also in front of you, whether you can see it clearly depends on yourself! Wei Lao continued to look back at the scenery outside the gazebo, looking in the direction of the setting sun, and then a little south.
That direction is the direction of Xianyang in the Qin State.
