Chapter 506 The palace takes orders, my surname is not Bai!
Xianyang City is located in the mansion that Bai Yan has already built but has never moved in before.
Before dawn, Bai Yan had already gotten up.
There are maids working around the clock in the mansion. If there is any movement in the room, these maids will already enter the room, light candles and wait for Bai Yan to wash up.
Power, wealth, status, it is no wonder that from ancient times to the present, countless people have pursued these regardless of cost, even if they sacrifice their lives.
Compared with the ordinary people's hard-working life, exposed to wind and sun, leaving early and returning home late, working hard every day, and sometimes even having no food to eat, this kind of life now has many maids and servants following them all day long, and all they eat is big fish.
Big meat, good wine and good food, and even more, they have food, land, and power. Not to mention money, they will not worry about money in the future. When they leave the house, everyone must look respectful to them. Even in order to curry favor with those rich and powerful families,
, he gave away money and women, too many to count, and finally he was able to talk to the owner of this land, the king of a country.
Who wouldn’t want to live like this when people are superior to others?
Without comparison, there is no contrast.
In front of the wooden frame.
Bai Yan was served by the maid, and after putting on his official uniform with black patterns, he walked out of the room.
Outside the room, it was dark all around and the sky was already bright. Bai Yan was led by the maids and slaves to the gate, then got on the carriage and headed to the palace under the protection of the servants.
The sky was getting brighter and brighter. When Bai Yan arrived at the palace gate, many officials were already waiting outside the palace gate, and Bai Yu also arrived early among them.
When most of the officials saw Bai Yan coming, they all looked sideways, their eyes filled with complex emotions.
Three years ago, when Bai Yan came to the palace gate, not to mention these officials, even the guards guarding the arch, did not take a serious look at Bai Yan. Only the Bai family or officials close to the Bai family would take Bai Yan seriously.
.
Even later, although they were all surprised that Bai Yan became the person who led the troops and took power of the Bai family, they did not take it too seriously. Instead, they still lamented that the once glorious Bai family had fallen to such an extent, and that the person in power actually
Falling into the hands of a young boy, I thought that the Qin court had no shortage of young generals. Wang Li, Li You, Li Xin, Qiang Yu and other young generals, some were weaker than Bai Yan, and the other were not as experienced as Bai Yan.
Until later, I watched Bai Yan leading the Gao Nu army, Bai Yan defeated the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu first, I watched Bai Yan serve as deputy general to attack Zhao, fight with Li Mu, I watched Bai Yan conquer Jingxing, I watched Bai Yan conquer all Zhao Bian
ride.
From a doctor to a general.
From a descendant of the Bai family who was not in power and came from a declining family, to a powerful general who gained the favor and favor of the Ying government and held a large camp in a county.
At that time, everyone was suddenly shocked.
It seems that this young Bai Yan is different from the other young nobles and the young generals in the court. Such a growth rate almost makes everyone stunned and caught off guard.
And now, in a short time, this young man will serve as the commander-in-chief of Qin's army, with more than 100,000 soldiers, leading troops for Qin to attack and destroy a country, Wei!
"It is a big taboo for people to be arrogant and arrogant~!"
I don't know which official suddenly said something, which immediately caused all the officials outside the palace to look sideways. When they saw that the speaker was Cai Chao, the admonishing doctor, no one showed any expressions of surprise, but instead
Look at the excitement.
All the officials present knew the official who spoke, Cai Chao, who was in his forties and nearly fifty.
When Cai Chao was young, he served as an official in the State of Zhao. Later, he was almost killed by the enemy and was rescued by Zhuang Chu. Zhuang Chu and his Zhuang clan were old people of Yanmen. When Bai Yan was dealing with the robbery and sale,
, directly executed Zhuang Chu, together with the Zhuang family, and punished them.
Although Cai Chao did not explicitly say that he was dissatisfied with Bai Yan because of this incident, anyone with a discerning eye knows that since then, Cai Chao has been hating Bai Yan because of this incident.
Cai Chao's words just now were nothing more than an insinuation that Bai Yan was in Luoyin, in full view of everyone, saying that he wanted Wei Pang and the others to witness the demise of Wei with their own eyes.
Think of this.
The officials all looked at Bai Yan in the distance, wondering if Bai Yan would argue with Cai Chao.
"."
Bai Yu's eyes were filled with anger, and he was about to speak. Bai Yan quickly blocked Bai Yu's path, looked at Bai Yu and shook his head, then held his hands in a salute.
Seeing this, Bai Yu knew what Bai Yan meant. Thinking that Bai Yan would be ordered to lead the army today, Bai Yu could only look angrily at Cai Chao and the officials around Cai Chao with contemptuous eyes.
Outside the palace gate.
Many officials were a little surprised when they saw Bai Yan's actions, but Bai Yan did not choose to argue, and they were too lazy to continue paying attention, so they all started talking to each other again. In addition to the past events, many officials talked about Jiuding's affairs.
Cai Chao also snorted coldly, and showed a contemptuous smile when he saw that Bai Yan and Bai Yu did not dare to argue. In this world, only those who are unreasonable and have no talent dare to argue.
In Cai Chao's heart, Bai Yan did not dare to argue, which was equivalent to admitting that Luo Yin was delusional and arrogant. If word spread in the future, people in the world would definitely know Bai Yan's character.
"Master Li!"
"Prime Minister Zuo!!"
With the arrival of Li Si and Wei Zhuang, some officials saluted the two of them one after another, and Li Si and Wei Zhuang also returned the courtesy.
Li Si, Wei Zhuang and others naturally noticed that many officials were talking about Jiuding. They were not surprised by this. They had also heard about Luoyin.
Jiuding has always been a topic that Qin cannot get around. Even Li Si, one of the ministers who advocated Yingzheng's destruction of the Six Kingdoms, is very clear that Jiuding symbolizes the righteousness of the world and is a kind of identity. Losing it
Jiuding is by no means a trivial matter to Qin.
But Jiuding has disappeared for so many years and is difficult to find. It is useless to discuss it now.
"General Bai Yan!"
Li Si and Wei Zhuang walked past other officials until they came to Bai Yan and Bai Yu.
Bai Yan, Bai Yu, and Wei Zhuang were a little surprised when they saw Li Si, but when they saw Li Si, Wei Zhuang naturally didn't hesitate to greet him.
"Master Li, Prime Minister Zuo!"
Bai Yan returned the courtesy with his hands raised, and then looked at Li Si in front of him, wondering why Wei Zhuang came to find him.
After Li Si greeted Bai Yu, he saw Bai Yan's eyes, so he looked at Kai Xiang. After Wei Xiang nodded, he took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Bai Yan with both hands.
Bai Yan quickly took it with both hands.
This scene made all the other officials look sideways and looked curiously at the bamboo slips in Li Si's hand.
"This is?"
Bai Yan held the bamboo slips in both hands and took a look, a little confused as to why Li Si gave him this scroll.
"General Bai Yan, this slip contains a list of famous people from the Wei State. In this attack on the Wei State, I hope that General Bai will not harm these people, especially those ministers in the Wei State's court."
Li Si explained to Bai Yan, and after giving Bai Yu a look, he looked back at Bai Yan: "There are many great Confucian scholars in the Wei State, and there are countless celebrities. After discussing with Prime Minister Wei last night, Li Si specially wrote this list.
, I hope General Bai will send these people to Xianyang if he sees them!"
Wei Zhuang also nodded aside, looked at Bai Yan and Bai Yu, and raised his hand.
"Everyone in the world is talking about it. This matter is very important to our country of Qin. I'd like to trouble General Bai!"
As the left prime minister of the Qin State, Wei Zhuang basically contracted all the affairs of the left and right prime ministers during the days when Changping Lord was away from Xianyang. It would be a lie to say that he was not more tired than before, but equally, after this hard work, he had greater rights.
Bai Yan looked at the rosters inside the bamboo slips. After a glance, he heard Li Si's words, so he put away the bamboo slips and saluted the two of them.
"Prime Minister Wei, Lieutenant Ting, and Bai Yan will definitely remember this matter!"
Bai Yan said to the two of them, indicating that he would remember this matter.
The number of talented people in Wei is well known to the world. When Qin was so powerful, it could not escape the help of famous people in Wei. Bai Yan also understood Wei's situation, and Li Si was trying to win over those people in Wei.
Regarding the names on the bamboo slips in his hand, Bai Yan didn't know whether those people were truly talented and learned scholars, but Bai Yan was now sure that behind those people, there must be the support of many scholars, even individual scholars.
Factions of people.
The purpose of Li Si and Wei Zhuang was the scholars behind those people.
Talk for a while.
Soon they saw Wang Jian, Wang Wan, Feng Jie and others arriving. Not long after Li Xin arrived, Chang Wenjun's carriage also slowly arrived.
When they saw Li Si, Wei Zhuang was with Bai Yan. Wang Jian, Chang Wenjun and others all came over to pay their respects, and Ying Kan was the last one to arrive.
After being informed by Li Si, Wang Wan, Feng Jie, Wei Liao and others knew the purpose of Li Si and Wei Zhuang's search for Bai Yan.
Hearing that many of the other officials around were talking about Jiuding, Wang Jian, Wei Liao, and Wang Wan all couldn't help but look at Bai Yan. They had also heard about what happened in Luoyin.
Ying Kan was probably the most emotional person. In Ying Kan's eyes, he was naturally very happy about Bai Yan's words and deeds. Then Wei Pang dared to curse Qin in public. As a clan member of Ying's clan, how could Ying Kan?
If you can bear it, how can you not be angry? Bai Yan's next words made Ying Kan breathe a sigh of relief.
But for Jiuding, as a member of the Ying clan, Ying Kan couldn't help but secretly feel that it was a pity.
"This is a great boast for Haikou. General Bai Yan must not let down the king's expectations!"
Ying Kan looked at Bai Yan with a smile. In the past, Ying Kan saw how much Bai Yan disliked him, but now Ying Kan admires Bai Yan so much. The relationship where he dislikes first and then likes is much stronger than other relationships. This is why
The reason why Ying Kan has more and more contact with Bai Yan is that even when he was no longer hostile to Bai Yan, Ying Kan never expected that his relationship with Bai Yan would be so good now.
"Please rest assured, Master Yingkan!"
Bai Yan smiled and gave Ying Kan a look.
"That's good!"
Ying Kan also smiled and nodded.
As someone who was once responsible for escorting Ying Zheng and the Queen Mother to Handan, Ying Kan was naturally aware of Bai Yan's abilities. Seeing Bai Yan's appearance, he guessed that Bai Yan must have a plan.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Yingkan!"
Bai Yan looked at Ying Kan with gratitude.
Ying Kan waved his hand quickly, knowing that Bai Yan was talking about how he and Feng Jie were the first to stand up and speak for Bai Yan in the court that day.
"Brother Yan!"
Li Xin came over at this time and saluted Bai Yan.
Looking at Bai Yan in front of Ying Kan, Li Xin still had a hint of complexity in his eyes at this moment. Regarding Mi Jing, Li Xin was naturally very grateful that Bai Yan could give him face. He also recalled that in the beginning, although Bai Yan rejected him,
But he did say that he should wait patiently for the future when Qin attacked Yan.
It was indeed as Bai Yan expected!
Regarding this, Li Xin no longer cared about the past.
But as King Yan fled far away, on the way back, seeing all the generals of the cavalry, all the generals, all the generals, everyone was thinking about Bai Yan, even every cavalryman, Li Xinxin still couldn't bear it.
Feeling a little disappointed.
Obviously he spent so much time with those soldiers!
Then, when he returned to Xianyang, he finally became one of the staff of Ying Zheng's study. He thought he had surpassed Bai Yan, but who would have thought that in the study of the palace, he saw with his own eyes that Ying Zheng was far superior to Bai Yan.
, unprecedented favor, trust, and respect.
This made Li Xin feel uncomplicated when he looked at Bai Yan in front of him.
The former is okay, after all, the cavalry has always been commanded by people from the Bai family, and Bai Yan is a descendant of the Bai family, but what about Ying Zheng? Li Xin has never seen Ying Zheng trust someone so much, and Li Xin still doesn't.
I clearly remember what it looked like at that time. Faced with the advice of Prime Minister Zuo Wei, Wei Wei and Wei Liao, Ying Zheng trusted Bai Yan without hesitation.
"Brother Youcheng!"
Bai Yan and Ying Kan didn't say a word just now. When they saw Li Xin, they quickly raised their hands to return the favor.
Then Bai Yan, Li Xin and Ying Kan were talking together.
As the sky became brighter, more and more officials arrived at the palace gate. Not long after, the palace gate slowly opened, and all the officials walked towards the palace.
Bai Yan, Ying Kan, and Li Xin also followed Li Si, Wang Jian and others into the palace gate.
Inside the main hall.
Bai Yan came to the place where he had been kneeling before. Not long after he knelt down, he saw Ying Zheng walking out of the side door above the hall and walking towards the throne. Bai Yan noticed that Ying Zheng had just kneeled behind the throne and looked at him.
Look at him once, and then look elsewhere.
"Greetings to the King!"
"Meet the King!!"
Bai Yan, along with all the civil and military officials, saluted Ying Zheng, and then saw Ying Zheng in the main hall, raising his hand to return the salute.
After the ceremony, everything started for the morning court.
However, unlike ordinary court meetings, this time, at Ying Zheng's signal, Han Ye immediately came forward with an edict.
"Xuan Baiyan comes forward!!!"
Han Yezhe shouted.
Following Bai Yan's words, all the civil and military officials in the hall looked at Bai Yan among the generals.
Bai Yan stood up and walked out of the ranks of generals in the eyes of everyone. Then he came to the center of the hall and looked at Ying Zheng. When he saw Ying Zheng looking at him, Bai Yan slowly bowed.
"My dear, Bai Yan!"
Bai Yan saluted and then waited quietly.
Han Yezhe glanced at Bai Yan, then took the edict and read it to all the civil and military officials.
"In the Kingdom of Wei, King Jingmin died, and he pretended to be the king of Wei. Now the king of Wei pretends to be the king of Wei. He allows his dogs to eat humans and animals. He becomes a loyal dog and serves as a doctor, and he rules the dog and becomes a minister. He is ignorant and ignorant, and completely loses the support of the people.
The way of heaven, the will of the people, the promotion of benevolence and righteousness, Qin conquered Wei, and ordered You Geng Bai Yan to be the general to attack Wei."
Han Yezhe read the content of the edict, and its general purpose was nothing more than to announce to the world the reasons for Qin's attack on Wei and the appointment of Bai Yan.
All the civil and military officials were listening quietly at this moment.
Three eunuchs walked down from the main hall. The leading eunuch was holding a wooden tray with a tiger talisman on it. They came to Bai Yan. A eunuch carefully handed over half of the tiger talisman from the wooden tray.
Bai Yan.
In the main hall.
Ying Zheng watched Bai Yan take the tiger talisman. At this time, Ying Zheng was kneeling on the throne. At a glance, he could clearly see that many civil and military officials looked unhappy when they saw this scene.
"My minister, Bai Yan, is appointed as the king and will attack and destroy the Kingdom of Wei!"
After hearing Han Ye's announcement of the edict and Bai Yan's voice, Ying Zheng turned around and looked at Bai Yan, who was holding his hands in salute.
"Don't let me down!"
Ying Zheng said.
Behind the simple words, there is deep expectation, Ying Zheng's expectation for Bai Yan.
Ying Zheng hoped that Bai Yan could show it to all the civil and military officials in the court. Ying Zheng was right!
Ying Zheng hoped that Bai Yan could fulfill what he said in Luoyin City that day and use his actions to tell the people of the world that Qin could destroy Wei, and he, Ying Zheng, could become the master of the world!
"Bai Yan will live up to the king!"
Bai Yan raised his head and saw Ying Zheng's eyes. He didn't understand what Ying Zheng meant. He quickly saluted and shouted. Then when he saw Ying Zheng's permission, he stood up, walked through the civil and military officials, and walked out of the hall.
Outside Xianyang City.
"Drive, drive!!!"
"drive!!"
Following the shouting, the chaotic sound of horse hooves sounded on the official road. People along the way heard the sound and ran to both sides of the road to avoid it. Then they saw a group of dozens of cavalry soldiers galloping past.
However, not far away, under the disbelieving gazes of all the people coming and going, a man in civilian clothes stood in the official road, looking at the galloping cavalry soldiers, not wanting to hide away.
In the eyes of all the people, they thought that man was crazy. Even the carriages of the nobles did not dare to stop these cavalry, but the man actually dared to stand in the official road.
really.
Soon one after another the war horses slowed down in advance because of that man.
"who?"
A cavalry officer looked at the man in cloth and shouted, his eyes full of anger. The other two cavalry officers were already riding forward slowly.
Just as the cavalry officers were preparing to arrest the man, and just as other people on the official street thought that the man in cloth was bound to be doomed, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Stop!"
The common people vaguely heard a sound, and then saw that not only the two cavalry soldiers who were originally going to arrest people stopped, but also the cavalry soldiers behind them all moved out of the way, and a young general rode on
The war horse came out and walked straight towards the common man blocking the road.
After a while.
Beside the Weishui River, Bai Yan led his war horse to the grass and let the horse eat the water plants on the riverside.
"Did you kill Qu Yi?"
Bai Yan looked at Wu Gao in disguise and asked softly, with some guilt in his tone.
As the death of Qu Yi was investigated, after in-depth investigation, all the clues pointed not to Lord Changping, Lord Changwen, or even those who had grudges against him. It was learned that the person who killed Qu Yi came to Chu with Qu Yi.
After the events in the country, as well as the news about where the country is.
Bai Yan had already vaguely guessed that the person who killed Qu Yi in Luoyin was none other than Wu Gao.
"You are actually Bai Yan!"
Wu Gao's eyes were red at the moment and he was looking straight into Bai Yan's eyes. The expression on his cheeks was full of absurdity.
Looking at the young Bai Yan, Wu Gao couldn't help but think of the scene in his mind when he and his eldest sister escaped from the village at night, and were finally rescued by Bai Yan, as well as the scenes of their subsequent interactions.
Wu Gao could never have imagined that Xu Zixiao in front of him at that time was actually Bai Yan.
In Wu Gao's eyes, he was even willing to risk his life to protect Bai Yan.
When the truth was revealed, no one could understand how uncomfortable Wu Gao felt about being deceived.
"I came to see you this time without telling my eldest sister. During this trip, you will lead the troops to attack the Wei State. If the Wei State's city is destroyed, can you do it?"
Wu Gao held back the tears in his eyes and lowered his head slightly.
"Let go of Corpse Weir and the Corpse Weir clan!"
After Wu Gao finished speaking, he looked at Bai Yan, waiting for Bai Yan's reply. The reason why he came here without telling his eldest sister was because of his friend Xiyan. Otherwise, he would not want to meet Bai Yan again.
"good!"
Bai Yan agreed.
When Wu Gao saw this, he glanced at Bai Yan, said nothing, turned around and walked towards the official road.
"Where is your eldest sister?"
Bai Yan's voice came from behind, but Wu Gao didn't answer or pay attention anymore. It seemed that he didn't intend to tell Bai Yan the news about Wu Yun.
Bai Yan looked at Wu Gao's leaving figure and remembered Zhao Qiu's guess.
"Tell her for me that my surname is not Bai!"
It wasn't until another voice came from behind that Wu Gaofang was stunned, turned his head, and looked behind him with confusion at Bai Yan, who was holding the horse.
Bai Yan looked at Wu Gao, with a familiar smile on his lips, but said nothing more.
He led the horse and walked straight past Wu Gao.
"You will know later!"
Bai Yan said to Wu Gao, and then left here. Bai Yan knew that Wu Yun didn't want to see him yet. Bai Yan didn't ask for forgiveness from the two of them, but at least as Zhao Qiu said, even if Wu Yun didn't want to see him,
I don't want to tell him any news, but I should let Wu Yun know about it.
Before attacking Wei State, the last chapter foreshadows!
