Chapter 493: Iron Eagle Warriors transfer order, Mr. Hu is not here
"Hehehe, Mr. Zhao, please!"
"Please, sir!"
"Lord Hu"
Under the banquet in the main hall, behind the wooden tables in neat and orderly rows with intervals, officials of the Qin State were drinking wine, talking, or watching the beautiful dancers dancing gracefully.
The exquisite music slowly echoed in the ears. At this moment, whether it was Wei Zhuang, Li Si, Wei Liao and other Qin ministers, or the officials talking to Li Si, Tai Jing, Le Shang and others who were at the end of the queue
, they all looked at the dancers with great enjoyment and had bright smiles on their faces as they chatted and laughed quietly with the officials beside them.
The territory of Yan State was once again integrated into the territory of Qin State. As Qin State's territory expanded, Qin State's strength became stronger and stronger, and the status of every Qin State official in the hall also increased.
At this time, everyone in the main hall was talking and laughing. No one noticed that after reading the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng's face, which was originally full of joy, now turned into a gloomy one.
"This time the Yan Kingdom is defeated, and General Li Xin has made such a great contribution, his future will be bright!"
"No, the king's hearty laughter that day is still vivid in my mind. The king bluntly said, 'General Li is very brave'. I think in the king's eyes, Li Xin will definitely be a great general in the future."
"General, Li Xin's father, Li Yao is now the general and the governor of Nanjun. Li Xin's grandfather Li Chong is the governor of Longxi. If Li Xin is the general, then in the Qin State, even the Wang family may not be as good as him!
"
During the banquet, following the discussions of the Qin ministers around him, and listening to those words of envy and emotion, the most complicated person in my heart was undoubtedly Bai Yu.
Qin destroyed Yan. As an official of the Qin State, Bai Yu should be happy. However, whenever he saw Lord Chang Wen in the distance, Bai Yu couldn't be happy when he thought that Li Xin was a disciple of Lord Chang Wen.
Li Xin was the commander of the Bai clan's cavalry who had just defeated the Yan army, and he also led the Bai clan's cavalry to chase and kill the fleeing King of Yan, and finally forced the King of Yan to kill Yan Dan and offer Yan Dan's head.
In his eyes, he didn't mind, after all, Li and Bai were now on good terms.
But when he thought of the Bai family, Lord Changping, and Lord Changwen secretly assassinated him, and before that Li Xin not only went to Shan Wu in person, but also took Li Yun and Li Yun to plead for mercy, Bai Yu felt depressed in his heart.
Take a breath.
Looking at the dancer in the hall, Bai Yu reached out and picked up the wine baron on the wooden table and took a sip alone.
Suddenly.
Bai Yu saw Ying Zheng's eyes looking at him. He didn't react at first. When he reacted, he saw Ying Zheng handing the bamboo slips in his hand to Han Yezhe. After Han Yezhe left, Ying Zheng looked at him again.
He glanced at himself.
With doubts, Bai Yu felt a little strange when he saw Ying Zheng no longer looking at him.
But I can't tell.
Bai Yu frowned slightly, trying hard to think about what was wrong. After a long time, Bai Yu suddenly understood and looked at Ying Zheng again.
It's the eyes!
The look in Ying Zheng's eyes was wrong. It was obviously a banquet to celebrate the victory over the Yan Kingdom, but the look in Ying Zheng's eyes just now was obviously not joyful.
What on earth is going on? Could it be that something happened? But if something happened, why did Ying Zheng look at him? It was Bai Yan!!!
After Bai Yu came to understand, he became inexplicably flustered. Especially when he recalled the look in Ying Zheng's eyes just now, Bai Yu felt that something was getting more and more wrong.
Could something have happened to that boy Bai Yan again?
Under night.
After the banquet was over, all the Qin officials said goodbye to Ying Zheng and walked out of the palace in groups.
Bai Yu stood up and looked at the main hall, watching other officials leave in front of him.
"What's wrong? Why don't you leave?"
Hu Wujing, who was wearing the official uniform of the Qin State, was about to leave with several other officials when he suddenly saw Bai Yu still standing there blankly. After saying goodbye to the other officials, he turned around and came to Bai Yu's side.
After Bai Yu heard Hu Wujing's voice, he was about to speak when he happened to see Han Ye walking slowly in the distance.
Under the gazes of Bai Yu and Hu Wujing, Han Yezhe walked over and bowed slowly.
"General Bai, Your Majesty has summoned General Bai to go to the apse!"
Han Yezhe said to Bai Yu.
When Bai Yu heard this, his heart skipped a beat. The arrival of Han Yezhe now undoubtedly confirmed his previous suspicions.
"Zidu, you go back first!"
With a worried look in his eyes, Bai Yu quickly asked Hu Wujing, then looked at Han Yezhe, asking for trouble to lead the way.
Hu Wujing stood there, looking at Bai Yu's hurried back, thinking of Bai Yu's worried look just now, and in silence, he vaguely guessed that something might have happened.
Inside the apse of Xianyang Palace.
Bai Yu followed Han Yezhe, led by the maid, and just arrived at the back hall, where he saw Ying Zheng already waiting for him.
"Your Majesty Baiyu, please pay homage to the King!"
When Bai Yu saw Ying Zheng, he raised his hand to salute.
“No need to be polite!”
Ying Zheng turned to look at Bai Yu and motioned to the eunuch beside him to give Bai Yu a bamboo slip.
When Bai Yu saw this, he knew that the wooden plate held by the eunuch in front of him was the bamboo slips that Ying Zheng was looking at at tonight's banquet.
With worries in his heart, Bai Yu saluted Ying Zheng, stretched out his hand to pick up the bamboo slip, opened it and looked at it. However, when he saw the first sentence in the bamboo slip, he was completely stunned.
Bai Yan is in Yangxia!!!
Isn't that boy in Yanmen County? Following this thought, Bai Yu immediately thought that General Wang Ben was now leading the Qin army to attack Chu on the orders of Ying Zheng.
Look at the bamboo slips again.
After reading the contents of the bamboo slips, Bai Yu was completely frightened and broke into a cold sweat.
"Your Majesty, someone must have betrayed Qin."
Bai Yu saw that Bai Yan was almost ambushed, and the anger in his heart almost made Bai Yu lose his mind. In Bai Yu's heart, it was almost certain who sent the news about Bai Yan to Chu State.
"who?"
Ying Zheng looked at Bai Yu and asked.
"yes"
Bai Yu almost instinctively wanted to say the names of Lord Changping and Lord Changwen. However, looking at Ying Zheng's eyes, Bai Yu calmed down when he was about to blurt out, and Bai Yan's words suddenly rang in his mind.
"I don't know how many people know about this matter, and who Bai Yan told this matter to!"
Bai Yu lowered his head, his desire for fairness and his desire to complain for Bai Yan made Bai Yu want to say the words Chang Ping Jun and Chang Wen Jun. However, after coming back to his senses, Bai Yu knew clearly that what Bai Yan said
That's right, they can't prove that it was Lord Changping or Lord Changwen who did it.
And even if there is evidence, will Ying Zheng really execute Lord Changping and Lord Changwen?
Not mentioning the character of Ying Zheng, not mentioning the things that Lord Changping and Lord Changwen did for the Qin State, it can be seen from the incident of Mi Jing that the officials of the Chu family and the people of the Ying family
, will not let Lord Changping and Lord Changwen be executed. The Chu family plus the Ying clan will be enough to influence Yingzheng's decision.
In the apse.
Ying Zheng looked at Bai Yu, who was bowing his head, and looked outside the hall. At this moment, Ying Zheng's eyes were full of confusion.
The moment he saw the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng doubted the person who knew these things. However, whether it was Wei Liao, Wei Zhuang, or Wang Wan, it was impossible. Meng Yi was a descendant of the Meng family, and the most famous
It may be that Lord Changping has never been involved in this matter. As for Lord Changwen, Ying Zheng believes it cannot be him.
After Ying Zheng returned to Qin from Handan of Zhao when he was young, he began to contact Chang Wenjun. Over the past twenty years, all the things Chang Wenjun did were witnessed by all the officials of Qin, not to mention Ying Zheng.
.
All the ministers of the Qin State knew the character of Lord Chang Wen, and Lord Chang Wen would never betray him, let alone the Qin State.
Moreover, Mi Jing’s matter has just been settled not long ago. In Ying Zheng’s eyes, neither Chang Wenjun nor Changping Jun can harm Bai Yan at this time. After all, once Bai Yan makes any mistakes, he will be the most suspicious at the moment.
, that’s the two of them.
"Who will benefit from Bai Yan's death?"
Ying Zheng thought about it and put himself in the shoes of Lord Chang Wen and Lord Chang Ping. One of them was a general and the other was the prime minister of the Qin State. Bai Yan's death would not be of any benefit to either of them. Not only could Lord Chang Ping not die because of Bai Yan,
But returning to Xianyang only aroused suspicion.
Behind this situation, who will benefit except Chu State?
Was it the officials that Bai Yan had offended? Or was it Li Si who wanted to use Bai Yan's death to make Changping Lord completely lose power?
"Bai Yan's whereabouts have been exposed."
Ying Zheng turned to look at Bai Yu.
"Tomorrow you will go to Lantian under my order and order Sima Xing to immediately dispatch the Iron Eagle warriors to Yangxia to find Bai Yan and let Bai Yan dispatch them!"
Ying Zheng said.
Thinking of Yan Dan's head now hanging in Xianyang City, Ying Zheng knew clearly that it was Li Xin who led thousands of people to defeat the Yan army and forced the King of Yan to hand over Yan Dan's head. During this attack on Yan,
Li Xin was brave and good at fighting, and he promoted the power of the Qin army and frightened the six countries.
Regarding this matter, Ying Zheng was naturally very happy. After all, only by making the princes and states afraid to move could Qin conquer and encroach on them one by one.
However, compared with Li Xin's attack on Yan's army and taking Yan Dan's head, Ying Zheng has never forgotten that in the past, if Bai Yan had not been in the hall, blocking him, and even risking his life to block that
With one stab, he, Ying Zheng, might not even be able to live to this day, let alone witness the news of Qin's attack on Jicheng and see Yan Dan's head in the main hall.
So after learning that Bai Yan was in danger, Ying Zheng immediately decided to transfer the Iron Eagle warriors under Sima Xing to Yangxia and hand them over to Bai Yan.
Wang Benzheng leads the army to attack the Chu-Wei border. General Mengwu is guarding Qianzhong County. Before Wang Jian, Xin Sheng, Li Xin and others return, Bai Yan still needs to wait for the opportunity at the Qin-Chu border, but also be wary of Chu.
country’s counterattack.
In the apse.
Ying Zheng looked at Bai Yu's back after accepting the order, then turned to look at the moonlight outside.
Although it has not been found out who leaked the news, the appearance of the young man in the study in those days appeared in Ying Zheng's mind!
Ying Zheng believed in that young man!
Inside Xianyang City.
Bai Yu was riding a carriage and was rushing back to his mansion at night. However, before he could reach the mansion, Hu Wujing's retinue suddenly came to him in a hurry and said that Hu Wujing wanted him to go to Hu's mansion immediately.
When Bai Yu followed Hu Wujing's retinue and arrived at Hu's mansion, the entire mansion was ablaze with candlelight.
Walk through the yard.
Bai Yu hurriedly walked towards the bedroom when he looked at the servants who were standing outside the door with their heads lowered and in the yard, all in low mood and quiet.
The Hu family and the Bai family are aristocratic families, and Bai Yu is already very familiar with the Hu family, so he doesn't need to lead him at all.
When Bai Yu came to the bedroom, he saw old women and some young family members in the room as soon as he entered.
When the family members saw Bai Yu, they all got out of the way.
I saw my father Bai Zhong, and my brothers Bai Bo and Bai Yan inside.
Bai Yu hurried to the bedside, looked at Hu Wujing with red eyes, and then looked blankly at the pale and dying Mr. Hu on the bed.
"Mr. Hu!"
Bai Yu came to Mr. Hu's side, knelt on the ground, held Mr. Hu's hand tightly with both hands and put it next to his face.
Looking at Mr. Hu's appearance at this moment, Bai Yu was panicking and scared like a man at a loss. Why was Mr. Hu's complexion getting worse and worse these days?
"Where is the doctor? In a few more days, Miss Xu can rush back to Xianyang from Yanmen, just a few more days!"
Bai Yu looked at Hu Wujing, his tone full of anxiety. He had already ordered people to travel day and night to Yanmen with letters.
Bai Zhong, Bai Bo and others looked at this scene, their eyes were red and swollen, and they fell silent.
"Uncle Yu is here!"
Before Hu Wujing could answer, Bai Yu heard Mr. Hu's weak voice.
Seeing this, Bai Yu quickly turned his head, looked at Mr. Hu, and nodded.
"Shu Yu is here, Shu Yu is here!!!"
As Bai Yu spoke, his mouth trembled more and more, and then looking at Mr. Hu's appearance, tears instantly flowed from his eyes.
Thinking back to when he was young, it was Mr. Hu who always taught him. He was young and energetic, made many mistakes, and always offended people in the court. Mr. Hu always protected him and treated him as his own child.
"Shu Yu is here!"
Tears fell down Bai Yu's weathered cheeks at this moment. He held Mr. Hu's hand with both hands and put it on his face.
In Bai Yu's eyes, Mr. Hu is like an umbrella, sheltering them from the wind and rain all the time.
"Zidu.Say."
Mr. Hu's wrinkled eyes looked tired, and it was very difficult to speak.
Bai Yu's lips trembled, knowing that Hu Wujing must have said what happened in the hall just now, and Mr. Hu heard it, so Mr. Hu asked. Bai Yu quickly looked at Mr. Hu.
"Mr. Hu, don't worry, don't worry, the king is going to transfer Sima Xing's Iron Eagle warriors to that boy Bai Yan! Mr. Hu, you don't have to worry! Mr. Hu!"
While Bai Yu was talking, looking at Mr. Hu who was so ill and still worried about his descendants, his hands were trembling. He slowly raised his head and closed his eyes, tears falling from the corners of his eyes.
I recall the scenes of contact with Mr. Hu when I was a child, Mr. Hu’s smile, and Mr. Hu’s words!
At this moment, Bai Yu bit his gums.
After finally holding back his tears, Bai Yu looked at Mr. Hu.
"Mr. Hu, that kid Bai Yan will be crowned in less than two years. Mr. Hu will give that kid a title when he gets there. That kid offended so many people. Mr. Hu, you are in the hall and you give that kid a title every day.
I'm trying to protect you, but I haven't given you a toast yet, Mr. Hu."
Bai Yu said anxiously. At this moment, there was only one thought in Bai Yu's mind. Wait until Miss Xu arrives. Mr. Hu's illness will definitely be cured by then.
However, Bai Yu's wish did not come true.
In this night.
Mr. Hu, who supported the Bai family, the Hu family, and the Sima family in the Qin court, could not survive the night and did not even have time to pick up the words for Bai Yan.
As Bai Zhong said, Mr. Hu has been enduring hardships when he was young, and when he is old, he has been sheltering his descendants from wind and rain. In addition to businessmen like Bai Bo and Bai Yan, he also worked in the court to provide shelter for younger generations.
The younger generations like Bai Yu, Hu Jin, Sima Xing, Sima Chang, and Hu Wujing sheltered them from wind and rain and protected them.
It can be said that Mr. Hu supports three families.
Perhaps seeing the younger generations like Bai Yu, Hu Jin, Sima Xing, Sima Chang, and Hu Wujing growing up in the court, and seeing people like Bai Yan among the younger generation, Mr. Hu felt at ease.
Early next morning.
Hu Mansion's crying didn't stop all night long. Bai Yu knelt down all night with a white cloth tied up and his eyes red and swollen.
Uncle Bai, Bai Yan, Bai Ji, and Hu Wujing all knelt in the main hall, their eyes red from crying.
Hu Jin is in Yuzhong, Shangjun, Sima Xing is in Lantian, and Sima Chang is in Wancheng. They will all come back to Xianyang to see Mr. Hu off.
Bai Yu's eyes were bloodshot and red and swollen from crying all night, but he could still clearly see the tears in his eyes.
"Old Hu! Shu Yu went to deliver a message to that boy, and then came back with Sima Xing!"
Bai Yu slowly stood up and walked out of the main hall.
Inside and outside the door, under the eaves, the entire courtyard was covered with white silk. Every maid and servant was dressed in white. Bai Yu walked through it with red eyes.
Mr. Hu did not see the unification of the world.
