Chapter 705: Return to Xianyang
Xianyang City.
Bai Yan took the carriage used by the government, and when he came to the streets of Xianyang City, he saw that the streets were full of lively scenes, whether it was a wide street or a winding alley, there was a flow of people everywhere.
Pedestrians and common people are running for their livelihoods, the scholars walk in the streets dressed in bright clothes, elegant and calm, talking and laughing, and the children in beautiful clothes are proud and walk past the small people on the side of the road with a little contempt.
The old mansions, tall restaurants, and shops that line the street all highlight the characteristics of the building, and the hawker stalls on the street are arranged in a staggered manner, but they cannot stop the bustling pedestrian pace.
Sitting in the carriage, Bai Yan listened to the bustling sound outside the carriage, thinking about Yingzheng's intention to urgently summon him.
Long.
When the carriage, which had been driving all the way, came to a stop along the gradually quiet alley, Bai Yan came back to his senses.
"General! It's time to the mansion! ”
The sound of the carriage came from the front of the carriage, Bai Yan heard this, got up and left the carriage, and when his mansion came into view, Bai Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Entering Guanzhong, in order to prevent encountering the people of the Qin clan and the people of the scholar clan who knew each other, Bai Yan could only take the carriage used by the government, and even the cronies who accompanied him also divided into two routes and went to Luoyin and Xianyang after calling the carriage.
Everything is because I don't want to be asked by the people of the clan halfway.
Bai Yanming politely rejected Li Si on his face, the purpose of which was to let the people of the clan know that if he made an appointment to meet the people of the clan halfway, in the eyes of Yingzheng, I am afraid that he would undoubtedly respect the matter of separation.
Inside the mansion.
Tian Feiyan was looking at the bamboo slips in the study, which recorded some rare treasures in detail, even the rare thin clothes in the land of Baiyue, and the rare white fox fur of the Yue Clan, all of which were listed one by one.
"Those clan relatives are willing to do it!"
Tian Feiyan looked at him with a slight smile, and after finishing speaking, he handed the bamboo slip to the maid on the side: "Order people to register them separately, and send everything to the Lu family's mansion at night." ”
The maid nodded and stepped forward.
Bai Junzhu held the ancient book in his hand, knelt behind the wooden table, and when he heard Tian Feiyan's words, his pretty face couldn't help but show a puzzled look, and he looked up at Tian Feiyan.
"Non-smoking, no returns? Those who are relatives ......"
Bai Junzhu was a little worried, the clan relatives and those princely vassals were obviously because they learned that Bai Yan was going back to Xianyang, so they sent rare treasures in advance, if they accepted it rashly, they were afraid that Bai Yan would be dissatisfied if they learned about it.
"Don't retreat in a hurry, return at this time, it is a strange choice, a lot of enemies, isolation, and unwise! When Bai Yan returns, he will meet Yingzheng and be in trouble, so he will be replaced by the Lu family and return with the same courtesy, if he is in danger, there is still this simple ......"
Tian Feiyan looked at Bai Junzhu with a smile, picked up the bamboo slip and shook it, and then handed it to the maid.
"As for the rare treasures, they can be exchanged for money, whether they leave Xianyang or save their lives, they are all of great use!"
Tian Feiyan's voice fell, Bai Junzhu's eyes were full of astonishment, looking at Tian Feiyan, who was younger than himself, Bai Junzhu didn't dare to imagine, after seeing the bamboo slips, Tian Feiyan thought of it so thoughtfully.
Before Bai Junzhu could say anything, a servant came to report that Wu Liejun had returned to the mansion.
The smile on Tian Feiyanqiao's face dissipated instantly, biting his thin lip, hearing Bai Yan come back, his beautiful eyes gradually reddened in his slightly rapid breathing.
Inside the yard.
Bai Yan, who returned to the mansion, was communicating with the servants, and then saw Tian Feiyan and Bai Junzhu walking in the distance.
After not seeing her for a long time, Bai Yan looked at the second daughter, with a look of longing in her eyes, but as Tian Feiyan approached, she saw Tian Feiyan's puffed up and straight eyebrows, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.
Obviously, the rush to leave before made Tian Feiyan angry.
A moment later.
In the room, Tian Feiyan looked at Bai Yan angrily, especially when he saw Bai Yan's gaze.
Seeing this scene on the side, Bai Junzhu looked at Bai Yan who raised his hands, and then looked at Tian Feiyan, with a trace of worry in his eyes.
But in the end, under Bai Junzhu's gaze, Tian Feiyan stepped forward silently, stretched out his hand gently, and stretched out his clothes for Bai Yan.
"Father told you to go see him when you come back!"
Tian Feiyan looked at Bai Yan angrily.
“…… Good! ”
The smug smile on Bai Yan's face gradually dissipated, when he thought of his father-in-law Tian Ding, Bai Yan had a headache, in order to appease Tian Feiyan's father, he told all about the death of Qin State II, and finally succeeded in persuading Tian Feiyan's father to give up his status and power in Qi and give up resisting Qin.
Now, with marrying Tian Feiyan as his wife, Tian Ding has also become his father-in-law, and now, he has come to Xianyang.
What he did in the past, Tian Ding must have been completely clear!
But speaking of which......
Bai Yan looked at Tian Feiyan, and couldn't help but show a trace of guilt in his eyes, when he married Tian Feiyan, due to the special situation, he did not perform the six rites.
The so-called "six rites" are six steps, one of which is: if the man falls in love with a girl, he must send someone to propose to the woman with a bride price, which is the so-called "Nacai".
Second: If the elders of the woman's clan make a marriage contract, the man must also confirm with the woman's family which girl is willing to marry, which is "asking the name".
Third: After asking the name, the man has to go to the temple to divinate and ask for the hexagram, if he gets the auspicious hexagram, he must send someone to inform the woman's elders, it is "Najib".
Fourth: If you get the evil hexagram, that is, the birth date of the man and the woman does not match, the marriage may have to be annulled, only after getting the auspicious hexagram, the man should bring a heavier gift, to the woman's home to formally conclude the marriage contract, so, called "Nazheng".
Fifth: After the recruitment, the man and the woman discuss the auspicious day, which is called the "invitation period".
Sixth: On the auspicious day, the man will personally go to the woman's house to welcome the bride home to get married, which is "personal welcome".
After the greeting is completed, the so-called six rites are truly completed.
These six rites are very cumbersome, and between Qin and Qi, there are thousands of miles apart, and there are often rogues, thieves, local heroes, and enemies of other countries along the way, so this set of six rites is only between the princes and princes, and even the clans and clans will be frightened, not to mention the ordinary scholars.
But now that Tian Ding has come to Xianyang, there are not so many fears, Bai Yan still wants to make up for Tian Feiyan's six rites.
"My father already knows about the past, think about how to explain it to my father......"
Tian Feiyan took off Bai Yan's coat and handed it to the maid, and when he saw Bai Junzhu handing over the official uniform, he picked it up gently, and his beautiful eyes immediately looked at Bai Yan.
"The Kingdom of Qi is now gone, and sooner or later my father will slowly get used to it!"
For Bai Yan to deceive his father, Tian Feiyan knows better than anyone that everything is for his father's good, otherwise what his father did at the beginning, not to mention that his father would agree to Qi Wangjian's surrender to Qin, that is, after the death of Qi, his father is still alive, and with his father's prestige in Qi, Chu, Yan, and even Wei, it will be a hidden danger for the Qin State and will be eliminated by the Qin State.
Now my father can be safe and sound in Xianyang, enjoying wealth and power, all of which are rooted in Bai Yan's private request for Yingzheng that day.
"Even if you don't get used to it, why can't you do it, but my father still has to hold thorns with his own hands and chase after his only son-in-law?"
Tian Feiyan glanced at Bai Yan angrily, and then came behind Bai Yan and put on the official uniform for Bai Yan.
Bai Yan grinned.
in the room.
With Tian Feiyan's story, soon, Bai Yan gradually knew what happened during this period of time after his father-in-law Tian Ding came to Xianyang City, and when he learned that he secretly gave Ying Zheng an idea, Tian Ding didn't mind, and Bai Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, this may also be his father-in-law Tian Ding, who still doesn't know what the Tui En Order is!
"I'll go over later!"
Bai Yan said.
When Bai Junzhu saw Tian Feiyan finish speaking, his beautiful eyes struggled, but he still looked at Bai Yan guiltily, and opened his mouth to tell Bai Yan the thoughts of his grandfather, uncle, and the entire Bai family.
"Walk around a lot with your clansmen?"
Bai Yan heard Bai Junzhu's story, and did not have a trace of dissatisfaction with Bai Junzhu because of Bai's actions, some things, Bai Junzhu, who is a daughter, has no right to participate, let alone decide.
Moreover, the Bai family's behavior was to appease Bai Yan's clan relatives and the forces behind many sons.
"Among the Bai family, Sister Junzhu's father has been speaking for you all along......"
Tian Feiyan saw Bai Junzhu bowing his head slightly, looked at Bai Yan who was thinking, and immediately defended Bai Junzhu, telling Bai Yan what happened at the beginning, as well as Bai Yan's words and deeds all along.
Bai Yan looked at Bai Junzhu in some surprise.
And Bai Junzhu looked at Tian Feiyan with gratitude.
Inside the city of Xianyang.
In the Lu Mansion, when he learned that Bai Yan had returned to Xianyang, he was in the study, enjoying the service of several beautiful concubines, and his fat body hurriedly struggled to get up, and finally with the help of the beautiful concubines, he put on his boots.
As Lu Qi ran towards the outside of the study, the knight on his head swayed from side to side.
At the beginning, Lu Qi risked raising grain and millet for the Qin army in Qidi, scattered his family wealth, and destroyed Chu, Yingzheng did not treat Lu Qi badly, not only to make up for Lu Qi's losses, but also to give Lu Qi the identity of a guest.
Qing, can be presented in the palace, such as Li Si as a guest when the book is presented in Yingzheng, the famous exhortation of the guest book came from this.
In some special circumstances, the guest secretary is not limited to people from other countries, sometimes the people of their own country will also be awarded this position, more than 100 years ago, the position of the guest secretary is second only to the prime minister, holding important official positions in the court, such as military, diplomatic and other affairs, sometimes will be given a certain amount of real power, until the Zhaoxiang King period, the number of relatives increased, the number of guest secretaries increased, and the real power was withdrawn.
The other side.
In the Xianyang Palace, Yingzheng, who had just descended from the court, knelt behind the wooden table and looked at the bamboo slips in his hand.
At this time, Meng Yi took Wei Yi, Wang Xuan, Li Si, Feng Quji and other ministers of the Qin State to the study.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!!"
Ying Kan was the first to speak, and the other ministers also saluted Ying Zheng.
After the ceremony, looking at the wooden table, Ying Zheng, who looked unhappy and frowned slightly, Ying Kan and Wang Juan couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both knew that Ying Zheng was because of the argument between hundreds of officials in the court.
The news submitted from all over the country showed that the officials of the Qin State in various places were unable to control the remote places for a long time, and with the negotiation of the solution, the problem once again returned to the county system.
Qinxing County is disliked by the old clans of the Six Kingdoms, and they are all rebelling openly and secretly.
"Your Majesty! Wu Liejun has returned to Xianyang! ”
Han Yu hurriedly walked to the study, came to Yingzheng, bowed his head and saluted.
In the study, hearing the report of Han Yu, Ying Zheng behind the wooden table instantly put down the bamboo slip in his hand.
"Bai Yan!"
As soon as Ying Zheng thought that Bai Yan had finally returned to Xianyang, his face, which originally looked a little gloomy, finally got better, and even his gaze was no longer as stunning as he was.
"Summoning Bai Yan to the palace!"
Ying Zheng commanded to Han Zhi.
And also heard the news of Bai Yan's return to Xianyang, not to mention Ying Kan, Wang Xuan, Wei Yi, Feng Qujian and others, it was Li Si, his eyes flashed instantly, but fortunately, his face did not show anything, but suddenly noticed Ying Zheng's expression, Li Si couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
Previously, Li Si had always speculated that Ying Zheng urgently summoned Bai Yan because Yunyang Jun went to Qi to contact Bai Yan, which made Ying Zheng dislike, so he used the sacrifice to transfer Bai Yan back to Xianyang, thus depriving Bai Yan of his military power.
But at this moment, suddenly seeing Ying Zheng's fleeting expression, it made Li Si a little confused.
It stands to reason that if Yingzheng wants to remove Bai Yan's military power, he will not mention Bai Yan, but show that kind of gaze......
Odd!!!
But before Li Si could think about it, Yu Guang noticed the eyes of Ying Kan and Wang Juan inadvertently, and in an instant, Li Si couldn't help but sigh melancholy, and his face was gloomy.
Fortunately, he got the news that Bai Yan returned to Xianyang to hide his whereabouts and did not contact any clan relatives, which made Li Si breathe a sigh of relief.
Obviously, although Bai Yan didn't want to offend everyone, in private, he didn't want to dislike Yingzheng!
……………………
Inside the field.
Tian Ding was under the pavilion, drinking tea with two Qin officials, and Wei Gaoyi and Yan Zhang arrived with the two officials.
"Ying Zheng has not wanted to do the matter of dividing the seal for a long time, and he is afraid of his ambition, but in the county! I heard that Master Mao has the idea of retreating......"
Wei Gaoyi drank tea, and Yu Guang looked at Tian Ding and said.
"Since the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the world has been divided for eight hundred years, this is the hearts of the people in the world, he wants to sit on the territory of the world alone, which is tantamount to a fool's dream, look at the current Qin clan, the Qin State of the government and the opposition, he wants to lose the hearts of the people, he is not afraid of rebellion?"
Yan Zhang patted the wooden table and roared with indignation, as if he wanted to see Yingzheng and lose everyone's hearts.
"Merit without separation......"
Yan Zhang wanted to say something, but was stopped by Wei Gaoyi.
"Yanzhang!"
Wei Gaoyi put down the teacup and sat down indignantly when he saw Yan Zhang's angry face, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lord Tian, we have known each other for many years, today we will not hide from Lord Tian, we all support the establishment of the seal, in the past, Princess Wei gave birth to an heir for Yingzheng, it is for the prince of Qin, although Wei is destroyed, but Yingzheng is divided, it is also the long-cherished wish of our Wei clansmen, Yingzheng is still the master of the world!"
Wei Gaoyi said to Tian Ding.
When the words fell, the two Qin State officials on the side nodded one after another, and they also thought deeply of Wei Gaoyi's words.
Under the gazebo.
Tian Ding drank tea with a porcelain cup, and was not in a hurry to speak, this is not the first time Wei Gaoyi has come to the door to talk about this matter, Tian Ding is clear about what Wei Gaoyi has to say.
At present, although countless forces are implementing separation, Tian Ding is not in a hurry to express his position.
Thinking back to what his son-in-law Bai Yan did in the past, Tian Ding had to see his son-in-law before he knew how to decide.
"My lord, Wu Liejun and his wife have gone outside the mansion and sent a ride of property and silk cloth!"
Wei Gaoyi was about to say something when a servant hurriedly walked over and reported to Tian Dingyu.
Hearing this, Wei Gaoyi and Yan Zhang suddenly got up, looked at each other with a happy face, with an excited look in their eyes, and then looked at Tian Ding.
"Congratulations to Lord Tian, son-in-law Wu Liejun has returned, Lord Tian will be in Xianyang in the future, and he will have no scruples!"
Wei Gaoyi arched his hand and said.
Yan Zhang also smiled and arched his hand, thinking of Bai Yan's appearance with their pleasant face and close demeanor when he saw Bai Yan in Daliang, and now hearing that Bai Yan had returned to Xianyang, Yan Zhang's excitement was no less than anyone else.
"Check it out!"
When Tian Ding learned that his son-in-law Bai Yan had arrived, his cheeks were also irrepressibly excited, with a little smile, looking at Wei Gaoyi and the others, who were very excited, Tian Ding got up and motioned to go outside the door to take a look.
Outside the mansion.
Bai Yan watched the servants move wooden boxes back and forth into the mansion, and couldn't help but look at Tian Feiyan beside him.
"You still have a conscience......
Tian Feiyan saw Bai Yan's gaze, glared at Bai Yan with beautiful eyes, and then turned his head to look at the busy servant, no longer paying attention to Bai Yan, and when Bai Yan couldn't see it, Tian Feiyan's eyes couldn't hide a touch of joy and satisfaction.
Bai Yan looked at Tian Feiyan's muttering appearance in a low voice, with a smile on his face, he had known each other for many years, and he had already been accustomed to Tian Feiyan's duplicity.
