Chapter 701: Ying Zheng's inquiry, Jue's telling
In the middle of the night, although it was in the bustling Xianyang, but standing outside the palace, Jue still felt hot and dry, walking back and forth, his panicked face and forehead were already a little sweaty.
Looking at the palace guards, holding Changge, and the palace guard general, Qi couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Up to this point, he did not understand why the king's church had summoned him, and he had summoned him privately in the middle of the night.
"You're the Five Doctors?"
After a long time, Han came to the palace from outside the palace gate, illuminated by the candle lamp lit by the maid.
"The last general!"
Jue has an impression of Han Zhi, and now standing outside the gate of this palace late at night, when he sees Han Zhi, he has settled down.
"The king is waiting in the study, let in!"
Han Yu looked at Jue, who was about the same age as Bai Yan, with a young look, nodded, and then turned around and prepared to enter the palace.
And one of the accompanying eunuchs had already carried the wooden plate, and motioned for Jue to remove his sword and put it on the wooden plate.
"Han is slow!"
Jue watched the eunuch bring the wooden plate, his heart tightened, swallowed his saliva, and looked at Han Yu with a panicked face.
Seeing Han Yu turn around, Qi hurriedly bowed his hand.
"Han Liejun, I am Wu Liejun's cronies, I used to be by Wu Liejun's side, and I have a relationship with Han Liejun, Wu Liejun is also with Jue, and I have talked about Han Liejun......"
As she spoke, her breath became short.
Han Yan frowned slightly, nodded, and because of Bai Yan, he learned that Qi was Bai Yan's cronies, and Han Yan also had a good impression of this general, but seeing that Qi did not remove his sword, but mentioned Bai Yan, which made Han Yan a little baffled.
"Dare to ask Han Yu, summoned by the king, can it be related to Wu Liejun?"
When he said this, regardless of the clothes and armor he was wearing, he knelt on the ground and saluted Han Zhi, his expression was tense, and his eyes looked directly at Han Zhizhi, full of pleading.
At first, Han Yu didn't understand what he meant, but when he saw the eyes of Qi kneeling on the ground, he looked at the soldiers who were the most brave iron horsemen in the world and were not afraid to go to the battlefield, and knelt down to ask.
Thinking of Jue's reluctance to unload the sword, Han Yu instantly understood what Jue meant, especially looking at Jue's increasingly rapid breathing and pale expression.
"It is related to Wu Liejun, Wu Liejun has won the king's trust, and he has merit in destroying Qi, if the king asks about something, he must inform the king, don't hide it!"
Han Yu said to Jue, under the dim candlelight, taking advantage of the night, he nodded slightly at Jue, and motioned to Jue to unload his sword with his eyes, don't think too much.
"Thank you, Han!"
When he heard Han Zhizhi's words, he instantly seemed to drain all his strength, and the whole person softened, and after two breaths, he kowtowed to Han Zhizhi with red eyes, and then got up and hurriedly put his sword on the wooden plate held by the eunuch.
Han Yan looked at Jue's actions, and couldn't help nodding in admiration, in the end, he followed Bai Yan from birth to death, if he hadn't reminded him, I'm afraid that this upright general would definitely draw his sword and kill himself!
However, the generals didn't want to think about it, if they really killed themselves, even if they made up some crimes to die, but in the eyes of King Yingzheng of Qin, I am afraid that it would cause Yingzheng's disgust.
"Although the king is in Xianyang, he has an understanding of what Wu Liejun did, and it cannot be said that he is not unfavored, and the king has sent an urgent summons to summon Wu Liejun back to Xianyang!"
Han Yu looked at the sword he had put away, and when he turned around, he said to him as if chatting.
Looking at the somewhat stunned Jue, Han Yu stopped speaking, turned around and walked towards the palace, Han Yu who should be reminded has already reminded that this general is an upright person, as far as this is concerned, what remains is how much this general can understand.
Inside the Xianyang Palace.
Jue followed Han Yu all the way, accompanied by the maid, and finally came to the study, the first time he came to the palace study, and met Yingzheng's Jue, and the whole person was in a very nervous state.
"Your Majesty, the man has been brought!"
When he saw Han Yu, he saluted the man in black standing next to the huge cloth in the study, and realized that the man was Yingzheng's Jue, and quickly knelt on the ground.
"Five Doctors, meet the king!"
Jue raised his hand and saluted.
As a small village born in Qishan with only a few dozen families, not to mention the ancestors of Qishan, even all the people in Qishan, as well as their ancestors, have not yet produced a single five doctors.
He is the only five doctors in the village, and the first five doctors.
Qishan is just a remote and poor village in the vast territory of Qin, and now he was born in a small village in Qishan, but he can come to the palace and meet King Yingzheng of Qin, this glory is no less than meritorious service.
When this news came back to the village, Jue couldn't imagine how proud his parents would be.
"You are Wu Liejun's cronies? In the past, when Wu Liejun was promoted to the fifth doctor, he personally went to Qishan to visit the household registration, which was you? β
Ying Zheng heard Han Zheng's words, and after Han Zheng stepped aside, he couldn't help but glance at Han Zheng and knelt on the ground to salute.
"Back to the king, it's the last general!"
Jue nodded, and instinctively glanced at Ying Zheng, but when he saw Ying Zheng's gaze, instinctive fear lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at Ying Zheng.
If you are here, you will definitely smile with relief when you see the appearance of the Devil, full of empathetic comfort.
Not everyone has the courage to be able to care under Ying Zheng's direct gaze.
"Inform the widow of all the matters concerning the old gentleman who used to escort the old man in Qidi and come all the way to Xianyang!"
Ying Zheng saw Jue's appearance and turned his head to look at the map.
Han Zheng stood quietly on the side, bowing his head quietly, and noticed that after hearing Ying Zheng's words, his face changed instantly, and Han Zheng could only sigh in his heart, hoping that Qi would not hide it.
In a quiet atmosphere, one breath passed, two breaths passed, when Ying Zheng tilted his head slightly, he looked at the kneeling Jue, his expression was full of nervousness, and his doubtful heart had been answered at this moment.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng continued to look at the map, letting Jue hesitate.
Finally, Jue looked at the Han Confessor who bowed his head silently and saluted Yingzheng.
"Back to the King's ......"
Jue looked at Ying Zheng, and in hesitation, he informed Ying Zheng of the passage of setting off from Qidi and escorting the old man all the way to Xianyang.
"Does Wu Liejun have any instructions?"
Ying Zheng listened to Jue's sayings, and after Jue finished speaking, he looked at the map and asked.
"Yes!"
Jue's voice came, Ying Zheng's gaze looked at the map, and suddenly there was a momentary flicker, and he turned his head slightly to look at Jue.
Under Ying Zheng's gaze, he swallowed his saliva and told Ying Zheng about Bai Yanzeng's two rolls of bamboo slips secretly beside the old man.
As early as when he was summoned, Qi had a hunch that King Yingzheng of Qin summoned him, which must have something to do with the two bamboo slips, or with the old man.
Inside the study.
After listening to Jue's words, although Han Yu's expression remained unchanged, his eyes when he lowered his head seemed to finally relax, and with Jue's words, Han Yu's words were also very sure that as Liu Yu said, all the bamboo slips were all cast by Bai Yan at the beginning.
"But these two bamboo slips?"
Ying Zheng spoke, and then motioned to Han Yu to bring the two rolls of bamboo slips on the wooden table and show them to Jue.
At this moment, Ying Zheng's expression was also full of complexity, looking at Jue, thinking of Jue Fang and saying that in Qidi, Bai Yan asked Jue to Yingchuan in private and secretly handed over the bamboo slips to the fake old man.
Thinking of Bai Yan, he ordered his cronies to escort the fake old man to Xianyang to see him......
"Your Majesty, the last general has never opened the bamboo slips! Looking at the bamboo knots of the two rolls of bamboo slips, it is indeed the thing that Wu Liejun will hand over to the old man at the end of his life! β
Jue saluted Ying Zheng, although he didn't open the bamboo slips, but when he looked at the bamboo slips sent by Han Yu, he still looked at the position of the pieces of bamboo outside the bamboo slips, and recognized these two bamboo slips, which were indeed the two bamboo slips that Bai Yan handed over to him when he was in Linzi.
After finishing speaking, Jue's whole person looked uneasy, on the one hand, he was afraid that if he said it, it would harm Bai Yan, and on the other hand, he was afraid that if he didn't say it, it would also hurt Bai Yan, especially Han Yu's reminder.
"Stand down! Today's conversation must not be spread outside, and Wu Liejun is no exception, otherwise, all three of your clans will be beheaded! Bai Yan...... And so it is! β
Ying Zheng commanded softly, and then asked Han Yu to leave the palace with Jue.
"No!"
When Jue heard Ying Zheng's words, the whole person was a little stunned and shuddered, and when he saw that Ying Zheng didn't seem to have the intention of condemning Bai Yan, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Jue didn't know that seeing Yingzheng by himself late this night was good or bad for Bai Yan, and at the moment, Jue had no choice, praying that he didn't cause a catastrophe, so he could only follow Yingzheng's instructions and keep silent about today's affairs, otherwise don't talk about himself, even Bai Yan will be condemned by Yingzheng.
Seeing that Han Yu motioned to get up, Qi got up with a confused face and left behind Han Yu.
A moment later.
With the departure of Han Yu and Qi Zhi, in the quiet study, there was only Yingzheng alone, standing alone next to the layout, looking at the territory of the world, and there was only a big Qin character.
If there was no Liu Yu in the past, Ying Zheng would not suspect this fake old man, let alone this old man, who still had bamboo slips in his hand to present.
And with Liu Yu's telling, beware of being vigilant, when he saw the old man, the old man's words and deeds were so ridiculous in the eyes of Ying Zheng, especially with the contact, every time he asked the old man what his opinion was, the old man kept silent again and again.
"Bai Yan!"
Ying Zheng sighed and looked at the location of Qi on the map.
If he hadn't seen Liu Yu, he would have been in the dark by Bai Yan.
At this moment, when it was absolutely certain that Bai Yan was the one who wrote those bamboo slips, Ying Zheng's mind was shocked, angry, joyful, relieved, and a trace of excitement hidden in his heart.
Compared with before, now Yingzheng finally doesn't need to worry anymore, the person who has never met and has a shocking genius will be used by others, and there is no need to worry, the mysterious person he has always wanted to see will be the remnants of the old ministers of the countries and the enemies of Qin.
Ying Zheng turned his head, looked at the quiet study in front of him, looked at the countless candles, and the many wooden shelves where bamboo slips were placed inside, thinking that before, Bai Yan was in this study, and he had been accompanying him for a long time, assisting him in dealing with the important affairs of the Qin State.
Mu Ran, Ying Zheng was a little angry, but also couldn't cry or laugh, especially thinking that he had specially given those bamboo slips to Bai Yan to read.
"Your Majesty! People have left! β
Han Zheng returned to the study and reported to Ying Zhengyu.
"Can you tell this person, you can't tell Bai Yan!"
Ying Zheng looked at the scene in the study and asked with his back to Han Yu.
In Ying Zheng's eyes, since Bai Yan didn't want this amazing name, even if Ying Zheng was angry, he would not expose Bai Yan.
Maybe a few years ago, Ying Zhenghui didn't understand Bai Yan's intentions, and was a little worried, confused, and suspicious, after all, many of the contents recorded in the bamboo slips were enough to be praised through the ages in the future.
But at this time, with the annexation of the kingdoms by Qin, Yingzheng became the king who sat on the entire territory of the world, and after Zhou, he was another co-lord of the world.
Looking at the Ying clan's relatives and the remarks of the military generals in the DPRK and China, Ying Zheng didn't know what Bai Yan was afraid of.
Bai Yan!
Don't want to be the enemy of everyone!
But Bai Yan is the same as his Yingzheng, he knows that Qin Xingzhou, then Qin will destroy all countries and annex the world, it will become meaningless.
Therefore, Bai Yan will be friendly with his clan relatives and meritorious warriors on the surface without offending anyone, but secretly he will launch a stand-in to make enemies of his clan relatives and meritorious warriors, help him implement the county system and give advice to solve hidden dangers.
Even if this matter is this, even he, the King of Qin, doesn't know!
"Your Majesty, this man has been warned!"
Han Yu nodded, and then told Ying Zheng exactly what he had told when he left the palace.
Ying Zheng listened to what Han Yu said, while thinking of Bai Yan, thinking about it, slowly, his eyes couldn't help but appear gratifying, Qin destroyed the world, in terms of merit, Bai Yan is no less than anyone, if it is not for insufficient qualifications, it is not as good as Wang Jian and others! In Qin's foundation, it is not deep, and it is not as good as the scholars behind those meritorious generals in the court! and the identity of the Qi people......
How could Bai Yan talk to the government and opposition officials and scholars, mostly in the mouths of the people, after Wang Qian, Wei Yi, and Yao Jia!
But such a general who has no credit for anyone, a Qi countryman, and the hero who should and most likely want to divide the feud, but he did something that the Ying clan, the vast majority of ministers, and the scholars could not do.
Opposition to separation!!
Thinking of Bai Yan's achievements in being born and dying again and again, he was finally willing to give up the division, and even more so to implement the county system in the book, and give up the amazing name that he should have.
Yingzheng now, whenever he thinks of Bai Yan's concealment, and has complaints and anger against Bai Yan in his heart, he can't help but dissipate them one by one, and he can't blame them in the end.
"Before entering the palace, did you remind this person?"
Ying Zheng thought of Fang Cai's hesitant behavior in the study, and asked.
When Han Zheng heard this, his face was stunned, and after hearing Ying Zheng's inquiry, he also knew that he couldn't hide Ying Zheng, so he knelt down and told Ying Zheng what happened before entering the palace.
"The old slave was worried that this person was Bai Yan's cronies, and he would rather draw his sword and kill himself than enter the palace, so he reminded him!"
Han told Ying Zheng of the original situation of the matter, and after speaking, he waited for Ying Zheng to deal with it, after all, this was without Ying Zheng's permission, so he made the decision without his permission, hinting at Yu Zheng.
Han Zheng also didn't know how Ying Zheng would deal with him, after all, in the Qin State, it was taboo for the general to have a cronie general, and he was still a die-hard person.
If it is placed in the period of King Zhaoxiang, I am afraid that this is enough to kill Bai Yan and Qi.
Fortunately, with the administration of LΓΌ Buwei, Qin law was much more relaxed, and as the territory of Qin gradually expanded, it was necessary for generals to lead troops in various places, and these things were more or less unavoidable, so that there was no taboo as in the Zhaoxiang period.
But right now, these things appear naked in front of Ying Zheng, and I am afraid it will inevitably make Ying Zheng unhappy.
"Get up! Calculate the time, another volume of edicts should also be in the hands of Wang Ben! β
Ying Zheng's words surprised the Han confessor who was kneeling on the ground, and the Han confessor who accompanied Ying Zheng all the year round was not clear, Ying Zheng didn't seem to blame Fang Cai's five doctors, let alone Bai Yan.
In addition to being surprised, Han Yan could only guess, and perhaps the king also knew that Bai Yan and Fang Cai's five doctors were born and died together in the early years.
"Back to the king, it should be here!"
Han Zheng stood up and reported to Ying Zhengyu.
Before Han knew that before Yingzheng, he specially ordered someone to give Wang Ben an edict, the content of which was to order Wang Ben to lead the troops to Linzi, and arrest all the Chu Wei Yanshi clans who were hiding in Qidi, as well as the scholars in Qidi, and move all those scholars to Xianyang and Guanzhong.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night!"
Outside the door of the study, Concubine Qi was wearing thin clothes, accompanied by the maid, standing outside the gate to remind Ying Zheng that it was time to rest.
Ying Zheng heard Concubine Qi's words, and at this time he also noticed that it was late at night and he would go to court tomorrow, so he turned around.
"When Bai Yan returns to Xianyang, immediately order Bai Yan to come to the palace to see the widow!"
Before Ying Zheng left, he didn't forget to tell Han Zheng, and then walked towards the outside of the study.
"No!"
Han Yu hurriedly bowed his head and saluted.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Yawn~!"
Bai Yan lay on the bed and rubbed his nose, not knowing who was scolding him.
In the middle of the night, Bai Yan, who was less than insomnia, got up and came to the window, looking at the bright moon and stars in the sky outside the window.
Tian Feiyan is in Xianyang, Bai Yan naturally wants to return to Xianyang as soon as possible, but Bai Yan also knows that after returning to Xianyang, there will be a series of trivial matters coming to the door.
Thinking that Ying Zheng planned to let him accompany him to the land of Yongqi to worship, Bai Yan was a little puzzled.
But fortunately, at this time, Xianyang City has Tian Ding, Yanmen has a teacher, and the stele Ji has moved the tomb of his teacher Yin back to his hometown, and now he is in Chu, and Xu Shi also moved his mother's tomb to Zhao Di to be buried with his deceased father.
This time it is his own return, if something really happens, he will find a way to let Tian Feiyan leave Xianyang first.
"Xingyang!"
Bai Yan thought that he would be able to arrive in Xingyang tomorrow, and it was not particularly far from Luoyang and Hangu Pass.
Check it out again tomorrow!
Although there has been no news from Xingyang, Bai Yan still plans to go to a place to take a look when he passes by Xingyang.
