Bai Yan came to the ranks of generals, which was relatively close to the palace gate. After the eunuch placed a soft cushion, Bai Yan put on his official uniform and knelt down to sit down.
Around Bai Yan, there were officials wearing official uniforms and all of them were military commanders.
Looking at everything unfamiliar around him, Bai Yan felt that he was surrounded by generals and generals. It was the first time that Bai Yan was sitting in a place where generals were sitting together. Bai Yan was inevitably a little nervous.
Fortunately, we are in the court, so there is no need to bow your hands to these officials when you see them.
After a while.
Hearing that the civil and military officials in the main hall were already discussing state affairs, Bai Yan knelt down quietly on the cushions.
As a newcomer who came to the Qin court for the first time, he was not clear about everything, and he was just a Zuo Shu chief. Naturally, Bai Yan would not speak out to show off at this time, let alone say anything to give advice to the officials.
As a city guard, Bai Yan knew clearly when Gao Nu was dealing with minor matters of the people that the cause of any incident might involve many aspects.
If no one explains the cause and process in detail, and outsiders rush to intervene, it will only be self-defeating.
This is why before leaving Shangjun, he wrote bamboo slips and told Chai some things.
The affairs of a city are like this, not to mention that what is being discussed in the court at the moment is a state matter, a matter of a country!
If you make a mistake here, your future will be ruined.
"Um?"
As time passed, Bai Yan discovered that not far away, a young official in his twenties or thirties had looked at him out of the corner of his eye two or three times.
Bai Yan had some doubts in his heart. Not to mention the civil servants, there were only a few people who could be awarded the title of general at such a young age, not to mention the civil servants. They could be counted on one hand.
Who could this young official be?
With doubts, Bai Yan had a hunch that the young official would definitely come to find him after the court.
The court meeting in the main hall is going on.
I don't know whether it was an hour or two hours later, but the matter was discussed almost later.
When Ying Zheng stood up in the main hall, a eunuch's sharp voice sounded in the main hall.
"Next court!"
Seeing this, Bai Yan quickly stood up from his seat like all the civil and military officials around him, and then saluted Ying Zheng in the main hall.
It wasn't until he saw Ying Zheng returning the gift in the main hall and turning around to leave that Bai Yan lowered his hands like other civil and military officials.
The first time I went to court was in the Qin Palace.
This kind of experience made Bai Yan feel novel and a little bit emotional. Although the Zhou royal family has been destroyed, it still affects all aspects, the most obvious one is this Zhou ritual.
Zhou rites have long been ingrained in the hearts of the world.
Even the etiquette between monarch and ministers will probably not change until the next dynasty unifies the world.
"Li Xin, I have long admired the name of General Bai Yan!"
Just as Bai Yan was lamenting Zhou Li, Li Xin, who had been staring at Bai Yan just now, came over and saluted Bai Yan with his hands under the wide sleeves of his raised robe.
Hearing this, Bai Yan immediately turned his head.
Looking at the young official in front of him, Bai Yan was filled with surprise.
Li Xin!
The person in front of me is Li Xin who will be ruined by Changping Jun Mi Qi in the future?
After regaining consciousness, Bai Yan turned sideways and faced Li Xin.
"Bai Yan, I have met General Li Xin!"
Bai Yan also bowed his hand to Li Xin in return.
Looking at the young Li Xin in front of him, Bai Yan recalled that in the past, whether in Lantian or elsewhere, he often heard others talking about Li Xin, with mixed praise and criticism.
Some people praised Li Xin for being brave and resourceful at a young age and daring to lead an army to attack Zhao.
Some people privately scolded Li Xin for being arrogant and arrogant, for letting his family members and countless Qin people's bones lie in the cold of Zhao.
Even General Fei and the elite cavalrymen they met on the way from Baishi to Lantian had some complaints against Li Xin in their hearts.
Think of this.
Bai Yan was about to ask Li Xin, but something happened.
However, before he could speak, he saw a young official next to Li Xin, also wearing official uniform, stepping forward.
"Qiangxu!"
Qiang He bowed his hands to Bai Yan and saluted. His bold voice and the smile on his face made him look like a straightforward person, which made people feel good about him.
"Bai Yan!"
Bai Yan returned the gift with his hands in hand.
In the main hall, officials in twos and threes walked together towards the outside of the main hall. Many civil and military officials saw Li Xin, Qiang Xu and Bai Yan standing together, but they didn't pay attention.
After all, those who can stand here are all officials and ministers with status and status.
Hu Quan, Mao Jiao, and Chang Pingjun were walking and chatting when they happened to see Bai Yan and the others and stopped.
"You three know each other?"
Hu Quan asked, a smile appeared on the old man's face, and then he looked at Bai Yan.
"I have met Prime Minister You! Lord Hu, Lord Mao!"
"I have met Prime Minister You! Lord Hu, Lord Mao!!"
Li Xin, Qiang Yu, and Bai Yan quickly bowed their hands in greeting.
After Li Xin finished the salute, he quickly explained.
"Li Xin has heard of General Bai Yan before, so he came here today to make acquaintance. In the future, Li Xin is willing to pay a visit and ask General Bai Yan about the art of leading troops and marching."
Li Xin raised his hands to the old man Hu Quan and said.
As a descendant of the Li family in Longxi, Li Xin didn't know anything about it. When he asked, Master Hu Quan looked at Bai Yan, but his words reminded him of Li Xin.
She was obviously worried that he would be hostile to Bai Yan.
However, Li Xin can also understand that given the relationship between the Hu family and the Bai family, Lord Hu Quan will definitely protect Bai Yan.
"Okay, the three of you are all generals. You should take care of each other in the future and expand the territory for the Qin Dynasty!"
Hu Quan heard Li Xin's words and looked at the three of them with a smile.
Li Xin, Qiang Yu, and Bai Yan quickly bowed their hands again.
Lord Changping looked at Bai Yan and smiled at Hu Quan, his words full of emotion.
"There is hope for the rise of the Bai family!"
After Changping Jun finished speaking, he looked at Bai Yan with eyes full of admiration, as if he admired the young man in front of him very much.
Hu Quan listened to Mr. Changping's words, looked at Bai Yan, his wrinkled face was full of smiles, and nodded.
"Right Prime Minister, you are so complimentary!"
Bai Yan cupped his hands and said, lowering his head slightly.
It was at this time.
A eunuch in the distance suddenly walked towards here,
"Prime Minister, the king is waiting in the study!"
The eunuch came to Lord Changping and said softly while saluting.
Changping Jun heard the eunuch's words, nodded, and then faced Hu Quan and Mao Jiaogong and cupped his hands.
Hu Quan and Mao Jiao also returned the favor.
Bai Yan also stood there and bowed his hands to Lord Changping.
After the ceremony, Bai Yan looked a little confused as Lord Changping followed the eunuch towards the palace gate.
"Let's go!"
While he was wondering and thinking, Bai Yan nodded when he heard Hu Quan's words, and then turned to Li Xin and Qiang Yu to make a gesture of invitation.
Li Xin and Qiang Hu also returned the gift.
Then several people walked towards the outside of the hall together.
Outside the palace.
After chatting all the way out of the palace, Li Xin and Qiang Yu left in their own carriages after agreeing with Bai Yan to visit them when they had the opportunity.
"Among the Li family, Li Xin is a good person and has a wide network of contacts in the court. His mentor is Lord Chang Wen. However, Li Xin is very strong and has a high spirit."
Hu Quan turned to Bai Yan and said.
Mao Jiao stood aside and laughed.
"That Qiang Yu is a straightforward person."
Mao Jiao said to Bai Yan.
"Bai Yan knows, thank you Master Hu and Master Mao!"
Bai Yan saluted Hu Quan and Mao Jiao, his words full of gratitude.
As for Li Xin's mentor being Chang Wenjun, Bai Yan was not surprised as he knew about it from the beginning.
But Bai Yan didn't mind.
At the moment, Lord Changping doesn't know, but he already knows what happened. He can also give Lord Changping more wrong information through Li Xin.
"You, Mrs. Bai, and I, Mrs. Hu, are family friends. If anything happens, come to Hu's house!"
Hu Quan looked at Bai Yan.
When he was a child, he saw Lord Wu An Bai Qi and said the same thing to his father Hu Yang.
If necessary, go to Bai's!
Now that the Bai family has lost its former glory, Hu Quan, as he did to Bai Yu, also gave these words to the younger Bai Yan.
"Thank you Lord Hu!"
Bai Yan said.
Bai Yan did not take Hu Quan's words seriously, because sooner or later, the entire Qin court would know the truth.
He is not a descendant of the Bai family, nor is he a member of the noble clan.
When the time comes, all the favors owed will have to be repaid.
Inside Bai Yan's mansion.
Mr. Bao is in his study, holding a brush and learning to write Qin characters.
Xi waited on the side, turning his head to look at the door from time to time, his eyes full of expectation. Counting the time, the doctor should be back soon.
Hu Wujing, the second son of Hu Quan, was a famous calligrapher in the Qin State. In history, Hu Wujing was promoted to Taishi, and he worked with Li Si and Wang Guan to revise the Qin seal script.
Hu Quan is very important to Bai Yan, write about it.
I was looking for the Feng family tree last night but couldn't find it. I really haven't slept all night until now.
At the beginning, both the Zhang family and the Xiang family could be found, and the Feng family also had a genealogy.
