The Yueshi belong to a nomadic tribe, and the conditions for obtaining one are very limited.
The two Yuezhi princes did not know where they got the news. They learned that Bai Yan, the Qin general who burned tens of thousands of their Yuezhi people to death in a fire, was also in the court, so they went to the inn to rest after hearing the news. There was no rejection either.
But before leaving.
But his eyes kept looking at the ranks of generals until he saw the youngest Bai Yan.
Their eyes met. At this moment, Bai Yan looked at the two Yuezhi princes without any hint of guilt.
Many civil and military officials saw this scene and naturally knew why.
The two Yuezhi princes looked at Bai Yan angrily and continued to walk out of the hall.
In the main hall.
Seeing the two Yuezhi princes leaving, the civil and military officials in the court were divided into two groups. One group advocated supporting peace talks with the Yuezhi, and the other group advocated no peace talks because the Yuezhi were close to the border and the Qin State was in serious trouble.
The two groups argued for a long time. After all the officials expressed their opinions, some important officials of Qin were left to speak.
Changping Jun, Wei Zhuang, Wei Liao, Li Si and others all supported the peace talks.
Anyone who is an important minister knows that for the Qin State, destroying the Zhao State is the most important thing now. Besides, without peace talks, it will not be easy for Qin to destroy the Yueshi. Instead of not having peace talks like this, the Yueshi must be stabilized first and then send troops. Destroy Zhao.
Down towards the back.
Bai Yan stood up, and when Hu Quan came over, he followed Hu Quan and walked out of the hall.
In the past two days, Shangqing Maojiao heard that he had left Xianyang after receiving the king's order.
As for where he is going, no one knows, not even Hu Quan. He only knows that he will not be in Xianyang in a short period of time.
"You don't have to worry, kid. The person who harmed you will definitely be found."
When Hu Quan walked down the hundred steps, he looked at the palace gate in the distance and said softly.
I was in the court just now.
Hu Quan was also shocked when he heard that someone had given Gao Nu's defense plan to the Xiongnu. He was thankful that Bai Yan was lucky.
However, the king has ordered the imperial censor Wang Guan, the left and right prime ministers Wei Zhuang and Chang Pingjun to start the investigation. I believe that the truth will be revealed soon.
"Bai Yan knows!"
Bai Yan nodded.
However, in Bai Yan's heart at this moment, he already knew about this matter, and the investigation was destined to be fruitless.
The first is that Lu Lou has been silenced. Lu Lou has left no backup plan, and his whole family has been turned upside down.
The second thing is that no one knows at this moment that the person behind the scenes is none other than Right Prime Minister Changping Jun. With Changping Jun around, the person who will eventually be found out must be a scapegoat.
In later generations, there are many golden cicadas who have escaped from their shells, not to mention that in this era, investigating a man behind the scenes is a prime minister with great power.
Outside the palace gate.
It was just noon, and Hu Quan wanted to invite Bai Yan to Hu's house as a guest to talk about Shangjun affairs.
Bai Yan politely declined Hu Quan's invitation and said he would visit another day. He watched Hu Quan leave in a carriage and was about to get into his own carriage.
Li Xin walked up at this time.
"General Bai Yan, wait!"
Li Xin, who was dressed in official uniform, came to Bai Yan, who was also wearing official uniform, and bowed his hands in greeting.
"General Li Xin! General Qiang Yu!"
Bai Yan returned the gift with his hand, wondering why Li Xin suddenly came to him.
"It's still early today. I wonder if General Bai Yan would like to go to the mansion. Li Xin has prepared wine and food. Let's have a drink."
Li Xin looked at Bai Yan and asked.
Li Xin had wanted to make an appointment with Bai Yan before, but he never had the chance. Bai Yan either returned to Pingyang, or was summoned urgently, and then went to visit Hu Mansion.
"General Li Xin's kind words, Bai Yan will not dare to say goodbye!"
Bai Yan bowed gratefully to Li Xin.
Having said that, if he refuses again, it would be too disrespectful to others. They are all colleagues in the same dynasty, and if they look down and don't look up, the relationship will not be too bad.
There may be a day when someone is on the battlefield and needs to lead a large army to rescue him.
"please!"
Li Xin said happily.
"please!"
Bai Yan returned the gift and extended his hand to indicate that he should come with him.
Prime Minister's Mansion.
Mi Qi returned to the mansion, and after the maid made tea for him, Mi Qi ordered his eldest son Mi Nuo to be called.
After a while.
Mi Zhu came to the study.
"Father!"
Mi Nuo bowed her hands to her father.
"There is no need to let people forge the stirrups. Get rid of them and burn the drawings!"
Mi Qi told his eldest son Mi Nuo.
In the study room, when Mi Nuo heard his father's words, he immediately raised his head and looked at his father with a puzzled expression.
"Father, why is this? As long as the stirrups are made, they can be given to Li Mu. During the battle, even if Bai Yan does not die in Li Mu's hands, Bai Yan can still be framed for his dereliction of duty."
Mi Nuo said softly with doubts.
His father had been planning to use Li Mu to get rid of Bai Yan, and just two days ago, a stirrup happened to appear. This was an excellent opportunity.
"Today the Yueshi sent a prince to sue for peace and tell the story of someone wanting Bai Yan's death in front of all the civil and military officials."
Mi Qi took the teacup and looked up at the eldest son: "Now the king is furious in the court."
"What?"
Mi Nuo's face changed drastically when she heard her father's words.
Mi Zhou never thought that how could the Yuezhi know about this? Could it be that the Huns had said it before?
"Father, what about the king?"
Mi Nuo was a little panicked.
Regarding the current King of Qin Yingzheng, Mi Zhu knew his character well. If King Qin Yingzheng knew about it, the consequences would be absolutely disastrous.
"Don't worry, the king ordered Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang and my father to investigate together. My father and your uncle had previously eradicated Lao Ai and dealt with Lu Buwei. Plus our relationship with the king, the king will never doubt us now."
Mi Qi looked at the panicked Mi Nu and said calmly.
His grievances with the Bai family involve old events decades ago, and he has been growing up in Qin State. He also assisted Ying Zheng when he was young and made great achievements.
Unless he sees solid evidence with his own eyes, Ying Zheng will never doubt him now.
In fact, if it wasn't for revenge, or if he didn't want to return to Chu State in the future, he needed a reason that everyone would be convinced of, and he didn't need to be in such a hurry to touch the Bai family.
The reason why I want to leave Qin is.
After the death of Queen Mother Huayang, Ying Zheng did not appoint Princess Mi as queen for a long time. You must know that Princess Mi was the biological mother of the eldest son Fusu. After many years in Qin, he had keenly felt that Ying Zheng was preparing to suppress the Chu clan.
While the Queen Mother Huayang was away, the Chu clan was headed by him.
On the other side, the half-brother of Chu King Xiong Han is now in declining health. The power of the Chu Kingdom's court has gradually been lost to his two other half-brothers, Xiong (Mi) You and Xiong Fuchu. Controlled by two people.
If King Chu You, Xiong Han, were not here, the throne would definitely not fall to the heirs of King Chu You, but would definitely fall into the hands of Xiong You and Xiong Fuchu.
They are half-brothers.
The throne of the Chu Kingdom could fall into the hands of those two people, why can't it fall into my own hands? Obviously I am also a member of the Chu Kingdom's family, and I have also served as the prime minister of the Qin State, so I know the Qin State very well.
Even the Xiang family was secretly supporting him to return to Chu and succeed to the throne.
In the study room.
After Mi Qi took a sip of tea, he put down the teacup, closed his eyes, and kept thinking about opportunities in his mind.
King Qin Yingzheng is definitely not the king of Qin in the past, and now the destruction of Zhao is imminent.
"Mao'er, I'll send you a letter later. I'll send it to Chu State and give it to Hong'er, so that Hong'er can go to the Xiang family."
Mi Qi opened his eyes and spoke.
The matter of getting rid of Bai Yan and the Bai family needs to be put on hold for the time being. The most urgent delay right now is to prepare the Xiang family and accompany the Yuezhi to come for peace talks. When the Yuezhi sends a proton to Qin, it will not be long before Qin. The state will send troops to attack the state of Zhao.
this matter.
The sooner Xiang knows, the better!
