Chapter 202 The Yuezhi came and all the officials were shocked
Xianyang City.
In the next two days, Bai Yan never left Xianyang because Ying Zheng's edict was not issued.
Since he was not in a hurry to rush back to Shangjun, Bai Yan rarely had time to relax in the past two days.
After going to court every day, I would either write bamboo slips at home or go shopping in Xianyang City, which was very pleasant.
During this period, Bai Yan also brought some valuable things to visit Hu's house.
After Hu Quan taught me carefully for several hours, I drank some wine at Hu's house until dark, and then I left Hu's house.
Lu Qi was rather anxious to return to Yingchuan. After all, he had just settled down in Yingchuan. During this critical period, Yingchuan still had a lot of things to deal with.
On the third day, after bidding farewell to Bai Yan, Lu Qi set out on the road to Yingchuan, preparing to make a fortune.
No more Lu Qi.
Bai Yan had been more leisurely since then, basically doing nothing, until on the fifth day, something unexpected happened, breaking the tranquility of several days.
When going to court, Bai Yan knelt down and sat quietly in his place. Just when he was about to go down to court, suddenly a guard of Qin soldiers hurried into the hall.
"Your Majesty, the prince of the Yuezhi tribe is asking for an audience outside the palace gate!"
Qin soldiers came to the main hall and reported to King Qin Yingzheng.
Qin Zu's words instantly caused all the civil and military officials in the hall to start shouting and talking among themselves.
"The Yuezhi suddenly went to Qin. Could it be that a war broke out between the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu?"
"It should be, otherwise Bai Yan burned tens of thousands of Yuezhi people to death, and the Yuezhi people would never go to Qin at this time."
"With Yuezhi's nature, this should be true!"
Along with the discussion, many civil and military officials involuntarily looked at the young man sitting behind the ranks of military officers in the palace.
Bai Yan!
Because everyone knows that it was Bai Yan who burned tens of thousands of people from the Yuezhi tribe to death in a single fire. The Yuezhi are not from the Central Plains. In the past, when the Central Plains countries fought, tens of thousands of people were killed or injured, and they would negotiate for peace talks to cede territory.
But the Yueshi belong to a nomadic tribe, and Bai Yan's fire was equivalent to burning down the men of several tribes.
Bai Yan, who was sitting on his knees, was also full of surprises at this moment.
He had guessed before that the Yuezhi would never enter Qin so quickly. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the Yuezhi would send envoys to Xianyang.
Obviously, either the Huns are already attacking the Yuezhi, or the Yuezhi are preparing to fight the Xiongnu, otherwise they would never be in such a hurry.
"General Bai, how many people did you burn to death with that fire?"
While Bai Yan was thinking, he suddenly heard a general beside him, asking curiously in a low voice.
Bai Yan turned his head, looked at the middle-aged general beside him, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Bai Yan doesn't know either!"
Bai Yan replied softly.
The reason why the main hall is noisy is precisely because of this. If many colleagues who are from the same dynasty do not answer, it will appear rude and arrogant.
Looking at Li Xin in the distance, he also cast a curious look.
"Let him enter the palace!"
At this time, Ying Zheng's voice came from the main hall.
When they heard Ying Zheng's voice, all the civil and military officials who were making some noise stopped talking, and Bai Yan also turned around to look.
After a while.
All the civil and military officials and Bai Yan saw two Yuezhi men with messy beards and wolf skins entering the main hall.
"Tukeha, Yuezhi, has met King Qin."
"Multon, Yuezhi, has met King Qin."
After the two Yuezhi men entered the hall, they came to the center of the hall and performed the Yuezhi ceremony to King Qin Yingzheng on the hall.
However, since they are Yueshi people, their voices when speaking were a little distorted.
Although the languages of the various countries in the Central Plains are different, after experiencing the Zhou royal family, the words they spoke were as understandable as the etiquette. This is why scholars can travel around the world and study everywhere.
But the Yuezhi people are different. As a nomadic tribe, they have rarely had contact with people from the Central Plains since they were young, let alone actively learn the language and customs of the Central Plains.
All the civil and military officials in the main hall, and even Ying Zheng on the main hall, knew this, so they didn't mind.
As the two of them finished the ceremony.
After a few breaths, in the quiet hall, Ying Zheng's voice came from above the hall.
"Why have you two traveled thousands of miles to come to Xianyang to see me?"
When Bai Yan heard Ying Zheng's words, he turned to look at the two Yuezhi men.
"King Qin, the two of us represent the Yuezhi this time and have come to form an alliance with Qin!"
The Yuezhi man named Tukeha spoke to Ying Zheng.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yan saw two civil servants stand up hurriedly, walked quickly to the main hall, and bowed their hands to Ying Zheng in the main hall.
"Your Majesty, these two people are ridiculous. Previously, the Yuezhi sent tens of thousands of people to plunder the upper counties of our Qin Kingdom, and now they have come to form an alliance. It is extremely ridiculous!"
"Your Majesty, the entire city of Gaonu was burned down because of the Yuezhi, leaving the people in the Qin State homeless. I think it is ridiculous for the Yuezhi to talk about an alliance without saying a word."
The serious words of the two officials resounded in the hall.
Almost immediately, the expressions on the faces of the two Yueshi men became very embarrassed.
When the civil and military officials of Qin saw this scene, the expressions on their faces were particularly wonderful.
"King Qin, it was just a misunderstanding before. Besides, your Qin State burned down an empty city, and we, the Yuezhi, burned tens of thousands of people alive and paid such a huge price. The most important thing is that all this is because
Instigated by the Huns.”
A Yuezhi man named Multon spoke to Qin King Ying Zheng, and then told the original story of what happened.
It was the Xiongnu who took the initiative to go to Yuezhi, saying that Gaonu City would be replaced by a young defense general, and they also obtained Gaonu's defense plan.
The Xiongnu also brazenly assured the Yuezhi that even if they plundered Shangjun, Qin would not dare to send troops to the grasslands.
Inside the main hall.
All the civil and military officials listened, all looking shocked and taking a deep breath.
At this time, all the officials and generals were still unaware that someone wanted to kill Bai Yan and even betrayed Gao Nu's defense plan to the Xiongnu.
Thinking of this, one after another the officials turned their heads to look at the young man kneeling at the end of the line of military generals.
Even Li Xin and others did the same, all looking at the young man.
Looking at Bai Yan who was also surprised, he seemed to have no idea about this matter.
No one found it strange.
Thinking about it, if Bai Yan knew who that person was, that person would have been killed by the Yi Tribe long ago.
"Who could it be?"
"Who is so brave? This is rebellion against Qin!"
"No wonder the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu went south!"
In the main hall, the voices of civil and military officials discussing in private could be heard one after another without any concealment.
After all, this is a big deal.
Dare to murder officials of the Qin State, which is a capital crime, let alone hand over the defense plan of a city to the Xiongnu, it is not an exaggeration for the Yi tribe.
Who would have such courage.
"who?"
In the main hall, Ying Zheng's angry voice also sounded, and the anger in his tone caused all the civil and military officials in the court to shut up.
Looking at Ying Zheng in the main hall, he screamed in anger.
All officials knew that since the Qin general Huan Ji was defeated a few years ago, Ying Zheng had not been so angry for several years.
among the generals.
Bai Yan also pretended to be confused and did not look at Changping Jun Mi Qi. He looked straight at the two Yuezhi men.
Because if something is wrong at this time, the problem will be seen.
Looking at the two Yuezhi men, Bai Yan knew in his heart that even if he told this matter, it would not be discovered.
In the Bai family, the reason why Bai Yu and others were not told about this incident was that they did not want Bai Yu and others to bear grudges against Mi Qi, so he could take his share of the blame into account and Bai Yu could avenge himself.
Here, he will take revenge in the future.
After finding Master Xu and detoxifying Bai Yu, he owed very little to Bai.
However, now that these two Yuezhi people are suddenly visiting, it doesn't take much to think about it. In a few days, Bai Yu and others of the Bai family will know the news. By then, they will definitely guess that it is probably Changping Jun Miqi.
And the reason is because of Bai.
"King Qin, it is said that only Touman Chanyu knows about this matter. As long as the Qin State joins hands with me, the Yueshi, to destroy the Xiongnu, then the traitors of the Qin State will naturally be found."
Multon in the main hall looked around, and quickly took advantage of this opportunity to speak to Ying Zheng in the main hall.
"The State of Qin will investigate this matter, so you two don't have to worry! If the Yuezhi wants to form an alliance, it's better to talk about the benefits of the alliance to our State of Qin."
Prime Minister Zuo Wei, who was in his fifties, stood up and said with a smile.
Tukeha turned his head and looked at Wei Zhuang.
"War horses! After destroying the Xiongnu, Qin and the Yuezhi can divide the Xiongnu's war horses and land."
