"My dear concubine, I really don't want Bai Yan to leave Xianyang!" In the palace study, Bai Yan has left, but Ying Zheng is outside the door of the harem, looking at the night in the sky, full of melancholy.
Behind Ying Zheng, Princess Mi took a thin coat and put it on Ying Zheng. Not only around the corner, but also outside the door, there were maids and eunuchs guarding him.
"Why did the king hesitate?" Princess Mi stood behind Ying Zheng and looked at Ying Zheng with confusion. In her eyes, anyone who is a virtuous and wise king will not hesitate on this matter. After all, there is no need for Bai Yan in Yanmen right now. If something goes wrong somewhere in Yanmen, or there are changes in the Zhao region, not only the Zhao region will be in turmoil. , it may be taken back by the Zhao people, and even the Qin army in Yishui will be in danger.
"Please, Your Majesty, don't blame Concubine Mi for being too talkative. Since ancient times, wise kings will not delay government affairs because of favors. This is true for concubines in the harem and ministers!" Concubine Mi thought for a while and finally cautiously advised Ying Zheng, I hope that Ying Zheng will not leave Bai Yan in Xianyang and not go to the far north of Zhao because he likes Bai Yan and favors Bai Yan. In history, there are countless monarchs who have delayed state affairs because of their favor.
In Princess Mi's eyes, as Ying Zheng's concubine and Fusu's mother, it was necessary to persuade the king at this time.
"It's true that I favor Bai Yan, but my beloved concubine doesn't know it. That Bai Yan is very important to the Qin State!" Ying Zheng heard what Princess Mi said behind him and did not blame Princess Mi.
Princess Mi has lived in the palace all year round and rarely leaves. Even when she leaves, she always goes to see Fusu. She has little understanding of state affairs. How could she be so clear about it? Nowadays, scholars from various countries are quite resistant to Qin. How can they realize the importance of Bai Yan? .
"In the eyes of the king, is Bai Yan really that important?" Princess Mi frowned slightly in confusion when she heard Ying Zheng's words.
"But Your Majesty, that Bai Yan, after all... is the Bai family!" Princess Mi paused, then softly expressed her worries.
Even if Princess Mi did not leave the palace during this period, the rumors in the city still reached Princess Mi's ears. Princess Mi did not believe those rumors. After all, Princess Mi also came into contact with Bai Yan during this period. Bai Yan said in the rumors If so, it is most likely slander.
But one thing is true, that is Bai Yan is a descendant of the Bai family! outside the room. Under the moonlight, Ying Zheng looked at the bright moon in the sky and did not answer the words of Princess Mi behind him.
"Your Majesty!" A eunuch held a piece of cloth and came to Ying Zheng's side. He bent down and held the cloth in both hands.
Upon seeing this, Ying Zheng reached for the edict, opened it, and looked at the faint handwriting on it under the weak candlelight and moonlight. This was the edict that had been prepared for Bai Yan's appointment, and he had been waiting for the opportunity. Announce it.
But the news coming from Yanmen made it clear to Ying Zheng that it was not the time to announce it now.
During this period, Ying Zhengtai had always wanted to keep Bai Yan by his side and cultivate him carefully. In the future, when the ministers of the DPRK aged out, he would immediately let Bai Yan take over his important political affairs and assume the responsibility of being a pillar of Qin's temple.
However, Guo Zong's actions put the entire Zhao region in danger of riots. At the moment, the most reassuring and safe way is to let Bai Yan go to Yanmen.
"Put the edict into the room of the widow!" Ying Zheng returned the edict to the eunuch and did not choose to destroy it. However, obviously, thinking that Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Xin Sheng, Li Xin and other generals were all in Yishui, Ying Zheng finally chose to compromise and let Bai Yan rush back to Yanmen.
Those generals are all generals and generals of Qin State, and behind them are all famous families. If something happens, for Qin State, it will not be as simple as losing generals and generals.
No matter what happens in the future, Bai Yan will mention Zhong Chang Shi. But obviously the current time is not suitable!
"No!" When the eunuch heard Ying Zheng's words, he bent down and raised his hands in the air. After holding the edict, he slowly stepped back.
Ying Zheng watched the eunuch retreat, then turned around and continued to stand under the eaves, looking at the bright moon. Thinking of Bai Yan's excuse for not moving his family to the Qin State due to the lack of care in the Qin State, for some reason, Ying Zheng had a vague hunch that in addition to returning home after becoming famous, the young man seemed to be ready to resign and return home.
Along with this thought, thinking that there might still be this possibility, the corners of Ying Zheng's mouth slowly rose. Resign and go into seclusion!
Good idea! Regardless of whether Bai Yan has this idea or not, for the Qin State in the future, as the king of the Qin State, how could Ying Zheng agree to let a young and capable minister like Bai Yan leave!
.........Xianyang City. Outside the gate of the ambassador's residence, servants and maids were busy carrying things out of the residence and then loading them into carriages. More than ten of the Qi soldiers who had escorted Tian Ding to Xianyang came to the residence with swords. Wait outside.
Obviously, Tian Ding, who had stayed in Xianyang for a long time, was finally ready to return to Linzi, Qi State. And in the mansion.
Lin Anshun and Tian Ding, who accompanied Tian Ding, looked at the busy maids and servants outside, looked at each other, and both breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally able to leave, when they passed by Yingchuan, the two of them looked for an opportunity and asked Tian Ding to leave, saying that they were going to see their friends.
When the two of them arrive at Yanmen, they can ask why their close relatives stayed in Yanmen to help Bai Yan. At this moment.
Outside the courtyard, Tian Xian's hurried figure ran past the maids and servants and ran towards Tian Ding.
Seeing Tian Xian's appearance, not to mention Lin Anshun and Xunzhou, even Tian Ding looked surprised.
"Father!" Tian Xian panted heavily and came to Tian Ding panting.
"What's the matter?" Tian Ding frowned slightly when he saw the appearance of the third son. He had some doubts in his heart. Could it be that there was something wrong with leaving Xianyang?
Lin Anshun and Xunzhou also had the same idea as Tian Ding. Seeing Tian Xian's appearance, they both felt a little nervous. They had wanted to leave Xianyang for a long time, and they were about to leave. Don't let anything happen again.
"Father, there is news. I heard that Ying Zheng ordered Bai Yan to return to Yanmen!" Tian Xian swallowed and said to his father.
Because he had been in Chu State, Tian Xian also had many old friends in Xianyang. He finally came here and was about to leave in a hurry. Naturally, he had to meet them and then heard the news.
"What? Go back to Yanmen?" Lin Anshun and Xunzhou were shocked when they heard Tian Xian's words, and their eyes were full of surprise.
Both of them knew that before, Ying Zheng had taken Bai Yan with him almost every day, and the matter of promoting Bai Yan to the rank of Zhongchang Shi was almost finalized. Why did he suddenly transfer Bai Yan back to Yanmen now.
Could it be...thinking of something, Lin Anshun and Xunzhou both looked at Tian Ding.
"Yanmen!" Tian Ding's face was a little surprised at the moment, but then he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"It seems that Ying Zheng still cares about Bai Yan's identity as a descendant of the Bai family!" Tian Ding thought of this and looked at the weather in the early morning. He had rarely felt very relaxed and happy in the past month.
As long as it is confirmed that Ying Zheng is still wary of the Bai family, there will be many means in the future to prevent Bai Yan from entering the Qin temple and not being reused by Ying Zheng.
"It seems that is indeed the case!"
"Not only the king of any country, but also the Bai family will not be able to forget what happened to Bai Qi!" Lin Anshun and Xunzhou shook their heads slightly after hearing Tian Ding's words, not knowing what to do about this matter. describe.
Bai Yan was not reused by Ying Zheng, which was naturally a good thing for Qi State, but they also felt sorry for Bai Yan. After all, they had experienced the Luoyin incident, and they both clearly felt that Bai Yan was young It is light, but has the appearance of a pillar of peace and prosperity.
"In the future, Bai Yan, as a descendant of the Bai family, is destined to be restricted in the Qin State. It can be said that Bai Yan's matter has been solved. The only pity is that the person Mr. Tian is looking for has not been found yet!" Lin Anshun spoke. In the meantime, he looked at Tian Ding with some regret.
When Xunzhou heard this, he was also full of curiosity. Because both of them were promoted by Tian Ding, Tian Ding did not hide what Mao Jiao said and told them in private.
So for the Qi person Mao Jiao talked about, whether it was Xunzhou or Lin Anshun, even if he tried hard, he couldn't figure out who it was.
They have searched all over the Qi people in the temple of the Qin State, and even worried about the other party hiding it, they have tried many methods, but without exception, they are not worthy of Mao Jiao's evaluation, they can be worthy of the word "talented". There are very few people.
"Maybe it's really an excuse!" When Tian Ding heard Lin Anshun's words, there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, and in the end he could only sigh.
"Father, it must be that Mao Jiao doesn't want to return to Qi!" Tian Xian nodded in agreement when he heard his father's words.
As several people were talking, the servant quickly came over and told Tian Ding that the carriage was behind him and could set off at any time.
