Chapter 545: Jiuding to Luoyang
When Bai Yan captured Fucheng and the cities near Qufu, he received news from Yao Jia, and on the other hand, Jiuding had arrived outside Luoyang City.
To be able to get so fast, this is indispensable to all the Qin officials along the way to contribute, not to mention not to encounter a large obstacle to block, the only time the big obstacle is in the Wei land, encountered the thieves, but those thieves did not even block more than a day, they were exterminated, after receiving the news Changping Jun even ordered that all the officials of the cities along the way must lead the city officials and defenders to protect Jiuding.
Inside Luoyang City.
Jiuding has not yet arrived at the city gate, inside and outside the city, has already gathered hundreds of people, as the ancient capital of the Xia, Shang, Western Zhou, Eastern Zhou, prosperous Luoyang City, there has never been a shortage of merchants, scholars, and some descendants of various countries.
Inside a mansion.
A man ran quickly from the corridor to the courtyard, and finally into the main hall, and came to a group of men, among whom were five or six old men with gray temples.
"My lord, Jiuding is about to arrive in Luoyang!"
As the man gasped, he turned to the man above the main hall.
Hearing this, the man at the head nodded slowly, looking at the other men in the main hall who were also nodding, and finally looked at the six white-haired old men.
"Wei Lao, Zhu Lao, Tian Lao, Chen Lao, ......, now that the fake Ding has been sent to Luoyang, Bai Yan deceived the sky and deceived all living beings, so you will tear off his face, don't shame the treasure that has been handed down since ancient times!"
The man at the head is named Kuang Jing, who is a well-known Kuang clan in Qi State.
After receiving the news from Qi Guo, Kuang Jing waited for these old men in Xianyang, and also gathered all his connections, waiting for Bai Yan to send the fake Jiuding.
"We once had the honor of the purpose of Jiuding, and now Bai Yan is deceiving the world by using the fake Ding, we are naturally obliged, Kuang Jun is at ease, tomorrow, we will go to Luoyang with the fake Ding!"
"We must expose that Bai Yan, the Zhou family does not exist today, the Qi State has declined, however, the Kyushu Ding is not something that the Qin State can get, he Bai Yan, he can't use the fake to bully the public, that Yingzheng, there is a fake Ding, and it is categorically impossible to inherit from heaven!"
The gray-haired old men, with their old faces, said loudly.
These people are all old men from the Qi country, they have all seen Jiuding with their own eyes, and for decades, with the loss of Jiuding, they have always been proud of it.
Now that they heard that Bai Yan wanted to deceive the people of the world with the fake tripod, how could they agree, if the fake tripod was used by the Qin State to deceive the people of the world, it would not only be an insult to the Kyushu tripod, but also an insult to their lifelong reputation.
Kyushu Ding is Kyushu Ding! It is the world, and no tripod can replace it.
"Yesterday, I heard news from the Chu State, saying that Bai Yan came up with a fake tripod because of Wei Shi Wei Pang's words, for this reason, Bai Yan did not hesitate to slaughter all the people of Shili Pavilion, as well as the Song family, blame the Liukou, take the Song family's tripod and pretend to be Jiuding......"
Kuang Jing saw the appearance of those old men, nodded slowly, and then informed everyone in the main hall in front of him of the news he learned from Chu Guo.
"Is there such a thing?"
"Then Bai Yan is so tyrannical?"
Hearing Kuang Jing's words, not only the white-haired old men, but also the other men also frowned in surprise.
"This matter is true, the only surviving person of the Song family, Song Jin, is seen with his own eyes, the Qin people slaughtered their clan, seized their Jiuding, and then put Jiuding in Surabaya, and now I heard that Song Jin, fled to Shouchun in Chu State, only survived, and is still in Shouchun City."
Kuang Jing explained.
As Kuang Jing's words fell, almost instantly, a man slammed the table angrily and stood up.
"How can this be reasonable, vainly bear that Bai Yan holding his Zhanlu, such an unkind and unrighteous person, how can he be worthy of the sword of benevolence and righteousness!!"
The man's words had just come out, and under Kuang Jing's eyes, a man sneered in understanding.
"How can the people who flood the beams have benevolence and righteousness!"
The man shook his head.
As soon as the question and answer were answered, all the men in the lobby felt the same indignation, and the white-haired old men looked at each other angrily, their eyes full of determination.
"My lord, Jiuding has entered Luoyang!"
At this time, another servant suddenly hurried into the main hall to report.
Seeing this, Kuang Jing hurriedly got up and bowed his hand to everyone.
"Today's events, please don't spread the word, go! Everyone, let's go and see what the 'Jiuding' that Bai Yan found looks like! ”
Kuang Jing said.
Kuang Jing told the story of Song and Jin in the hope that these scholars would spread it, and he had already opened his mouth to let people not say it, but Kuang Jing knew that once Jiuding left Luoyang, once he went to Xianyang with Chen Lao, Tian Lao and others, he was not there, and the news would not be hidden sooner or later.
At that time, they had already arrived in Xianyang, and the people in Xianyang would also spread the news of the Song family and Song Ding in Xianyang one day in advance.
"Let's go!"
"Go see that Song Ding!"
Seeing Kuang Jing's invitation, the others were already itching, how could they refuse, so they got up one after another, bowed to Kuang Jing, and signaled to go together.
In Luoyang City, like this scene, it also happened in other places, and some old people who had seen Jiuding gathered in Luoyin City from all over the world.
And on the streets of Luoyin.
At this time, all the people of Luoyin looked at the big black step wrap in the distance, and the big tripod wrapped up needed more than thirty people to carry it with a giant tree in front and back.
This scene made hundreds of people breathe in one after another.
"It's huge! That's Jiuding? ”
"It's huge! It's a pity that I can't see the rumored map of Kyushu! ”
"Don't think about it, the Kyushu Ding was dedicated by Bai Yan to King Yingzheng of Qin, Yingzheng has not yet seen it, how can the world be impressive!"
In the noisy discussion, looking at the iron cavalry soldiers holding Changge and sharp swords along the way, as well as those city officials and Qin soldiers, everyone gave way and did not dare to stop.
Looking at the frighteningly large scale of the Ding, almost everyone exclaimed in surprise.
Soon.
Some people on the second and third floors of the building shop, looking at the scale of Dading, frowned, but fortunately, these people seemed to know something, so they endured the accident in their hearts.
However, in the eyes of some old men, they looked at each other with some surprise, as if they didn't expect that the tripod under the black cloth of the Qin character is not small, but it seems that the tripod should be wrapped around the hay or the like to prevent collisions on the way, which makes them unable to see the specific edges and corners and the body and feet of the tripod.
However, thinking of the matter of Shili Pavilion and the Song family, all the old men felt angry, and looked at the fake tripod wrapped in black cloth with Qin characters on the street.
Fake tripods will always be fake tripods!!
Inside Luoyang City.
Xun Shuo and Jiu followed Ran Wu to the mansion.
Bai Bo, Bai Yan, and Bai Ping were all in the courtyard at this time, and when they saw Xun Shuo and the dove, Bai Bo and the others bowed their hands one after another.
Under Ran Wu's introduction, Xun Shuo learned that these people in front of him were all members of the Bai clan.
"Xun Clan, Xun Shuo, I've seen you!"
Xun Shuo bowed.
As soon as the words came out, not to mention Bai Ping, Bai Bo and Bai Yan were all stunned, and after glancing at each other, they looked at Xun Shuo, full of serious bows.
A long time ago, they learned about Xun's Xunshuo from Bai Yan's letters, and now that they met, even if it was the Bai family, Bai Bo and Bai Yan didn't dare to have the slightest contempt.
Pingyang Bai is famous because of Wu Anjun Bai Qi, and Bai Qi is a military general, and Xun is famous because of Confucianism, the great integrator and named, in the eyes of the world's corporals, the status is extraordinary, that is, now won the trust of Yingzheng, and is in charge of the Qin State law Li Si, is his disciple.
Therefore, seeing Xun Shuo, Bai Bo and Bai Yan's background, compared to Xun Shuo, it may not be possible to say it.
"We heard that we learned about Jiuding, so we are waiting here, please!"
Bai Bo was the first to speak.
In fact, when they came to Luoyang, it was not Jiuding's matter at the beginning, for Jiuding, they originally planned to wait with Bai Yu in Xianyang, but they never thought that under the arrangement of Feng's family and his father Bai Zhong, Bai Ping's matter finally had a result.
Bai Ping went to Luoyang and served as the chief official!
Compared with important positions such as county officials and county lieutenants, the chief official Peng seems to have a low status, but this is Luoyang, and the chief official Peng is in charge of the advance and retreat of the group officials, it can be said that Bai Ping's official position does not seem to be high, but the real power is very great, and it can not only buy people's hearts and manage the relationship between the Luoyang scholars, but also lay the foundation for future promotion.
So when they learned of this position, the people of the Bai clan were very satisfied, and Bai Bo and Bai Yan personally sent Bai Ping over to take up the post, and they also met Ran Wu by the way.
"Please!"
Xun Shuo saw Bai Bo's invitation, thought about it, and stretched out his hand.
……………………
Qi country Linzi.
With the news of the assassination of the prime minister of the Qin State, it spread in the city, involving the diplomatic relations between Qi and Qin, and the slightest carelessness would cause a war, so martial law was everywhere in the city, and Qi soldiers could be seen everywhere on the streets, searching everywhere.
But anyone who can't tell the history, as well as suspicious people, will be investigated by the soldiers of the Qi State, and if they can't be investigated, they will be arrested directly.
And so it was at the gates.
Due to the strict security, under the city gate that used to be able to pass quickly, more than 30 Qi soldiers were carefully searching for pedestrians entering and leaving.
Many of the children of the scholars and officials who rode in the carriage could not help but complain, but in the face of search and martial law, everyone had to endure it.
After all, it was the prime minister of Qin who was assassinated, and no one wanted to have anything to do with such a serious matter, and when the time came, the person who was used as a scapegoat would have no place to complain.
There are exceptions, though.
With a delicate carriage, escorted by Qi Qi, it quickly came to the city gate, and in the face of the search, a middle-aged man with a fortune walked out of the carriage.
If Shui Shou was here, he would definitely tremble with fear when he saw the man, because this man was Tian Jiao, who had ordered someone to break his leg before.
"Get out of the way! I'm a royal family, do I want to search it? ”
Tian Jiao is more blessed than at the beginning, obviously he has not eaten and drunk well, but at this moment, Tian Jiao's face is full of impatience, obviously if Qin Xiang was not assassinated, he Tian Jiao would not be in such a hurry to rush back to Linzi.
How good it is to be in your own fiefdom, beautiful people and fine wine, and it is more comfortable.
"Don't dare!"
The Qi guards at the city gate, who dared to stop Tian Jiao, gave way one after another, and the other people also retreated to the side, for fear of offending this powerful man who they could not afford to offend in their lives.
Not far away.
On a carriage, the middle-aged man who was waiting patiently also saw this scene, but the man was also accustomed to this, and patiently followed behind the other carriages and waited.
"Zhan'er, how long will it take to enter the city?"
An old man's voice came from inside the carriage, and Ram Zhan listened to his mother's words, and hurriedly comforted his mother, and there was a while.
Looking at the Linzi City in front of him, Ram Zhan also knew that his mother was homesick and wanted to enter the city earlier, to see the places he had seen before, and to see his old friends.
Ram Zhan can understand his mother's thoughts, and this is also the case, so he asked his middle brother to take his family to Dongyang first, and he took his mother to Linzi.
Thinking of the past, looking at this Linzi City, Ram Zhan's eyes were still full of horror.
Bai Yan!
Qin General Bai Yan is actually the grandson of his mother's old friend.
If this hadn't been seen with his own eyes, Ram Zhan would never have believed that their Ram clan could actually have something to do with Bai Yan, a powerful minister of the Qin State and a favorite minister of Yingzheng.
Inside Linzi City.
In the alley, in the dilapidated courtyard, when she walked back to the courtyard, she saw her mother and wife looking at her inquiringly.
Seeing this, Miamata could only shake her head helplessly.
"The city is still heavily guarded, there are inspections everywhere, many shops have been made difficult to make a living, and there are even some other peddlers who have been arrested, and they still can't sell today."
Tsumata walked into the courtyard and whispered, looking at her mother's gray-haired appearance, and then at her wife, Tsumata was also a little worried.
It's been so long, and I don't know when it's going to be a head.
"It'll pass!"
Hearing her mother's words of comfort, she nodded.
But at this time, suddenly there was a dense sound of footsteps outside, and while he was curious, he came to the door to look, and then saw that many soldiers were holding Changge and swords, and were searching from house to house.
"Fuck off! Those who dare to block, arrest them! ”
"Sit down!!"
Mamata watched as the residents of the alley were driven out of their homes, and under the scolding of the soldiers, they knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.
At this time, Xiao Mata also saw the leader of the general, and walked towards here with a few of his soldiers.
Worried about his mother, and he didn't dare to stop the soldiers, he hurriedly opened the door and let them come in to search.
"Search!"
The leader of the general, who was in his thirties, took a brief look at the old woman, and when he saw the white-haired old woman and the frightened woman, he looked at the room and ordered softly.
However, compared to the residents outside, whether it was a general or other soldiers, they were much more eloquent, and they did not throw everything around, either kicking or throwing it away, as they did outside.
Seeing this, Bai Yan's grandmother didn't know where she was, it must have been Yan'er who instructed the servants of Tianfu to give advice.
The prime minister of Qin State was assassinated, and everyone was worried about being implicated, once he was implicated, even if he was in Tianfu, he would not be able to get better, so when he saw Yan'er, he didn't forget to worry about it, and his grandmother also felt guilty.
At his age, this body always feels that he is dragging other people down, not only the eldest son, but also Yan'er has to worry about it all the time.
"Let's go!"
There weren't many things at home, so the soldiers checked them and left quickly.
Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at his wife, who hurriedly walked towards the room, and when in the corner of a coin, she saw that the small bag containing dozens of coins was safe and sound.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
When she saw her wife come out and nodded, she was about to speak, when she suddenly found her mother's lost look and worried about her mother, so she hurriedly asked.
"It's fine!"
The grandmother shook her head slightly at the eldest son, as if she was a little tired, and slowly came to a firewood, picking up the firewood that had just been knocked down.
At this time, suddenly there seemed to be footsteps outside, and Matsumata, thinking that the soldiers had forgotten something, suddenly became nervous again.
However, this time, to his surprise, a man about his age, supported an old woman, and slowly came to the small courtyard, neither of whom he had ever seen before, nor did he know each other.
