The sun rises and sets, the sun sets and the sun rises.
On this day, the morning light slowly rose from the sky and gradually penetrated the green shade on the mountainside. When the whole land became brighter, Bai Yan kept kneeling in front of the mausoleum, but finally did not bring any more wine.
"General!"
Mu led four soldiers wearing Qin armor and slowly came to a place not far behind Bai Yan and Hu Jin. He stopped and saluted Bai Yan.
Hu Jin glanced at the soldiers, and then looked at Bai Yan beside him.
Bai Yan did not look back, knowing that the fifteen days had come and it was time to say goodbye to Mr. Hu.
"Mr. Hu, when Yan destroys the Wei Kingdom, I will come here to guard the mausoleum for you."
Bai Yan said softly, looking at the mausoleum in front of him, thinking of the way Mr. Hu used to protect him in the court, and those he had never seen before, who had been taken care of by Mr. Hu countless times.
Thinking of Mr. Hu's appearance during his lifetime, Bai Yan kowtowed to Mr. Hu's mausoleum again.
After getting up, Bai Yan turned around and saluted Hu Jin.
Hu Jin nodded.
"Go to Xianyang quickly. During this period, there are many people advising you in the palace hall."
Hu Jin said, Bai Yan can stay here with the Hu family to guard the mausoleum for fifteen days, and even when Ying Zheng planned to let Bai Yan lead the army to attack Wei, Bai Yan still resigned from Ying Zheng. This move alone is worthless in the world. Not many people can do it.
A person who can put aside fame and fortune, no matter how talented he is, can at least make people feel at ease.
As for the news about the Xianyang Palace, Hu Jin did not pull down any of them during the past fifteen days. Those officials took advantage of his father's funeral to do anything that Hu Jin would never forget until his death. Keep it all in mind.
"Indeed, there are still many people waiting to see your jokes!"
There was a voice not far away. I turned around and saw Hu Wujing in mourning clothes coming over with a wooden plate.
Hu Wujing walked up to Bai Yan and looked at Bai Yan.
"Don't let us down, this trip will definitely destroy the Wei Kingdom!"
Hu Wujing's meaning was very simple. He hoped that Bai Yan could directly destroy Wei this time and use his actions to make the officials in the court take a good look.
Since those officials ignored the funeral period and wrote letters of remonstrance one by one, they must be prepared for the consequences.
Not to mention Bai Yan, he and his brother Hu Jin will not let those people go. Their father has passed away, but the Hu family is not empty!
"Bai Yan, you will definitely live up to your expectations!"
Bai Yan took off the white silk ribbon, placed it on the wooden plate, and nodded.
Looking at Hu Jin and Hu Wujing in front of him, Bai Yan naturally understood what they were talking about. Not to mention the Xianyang court, there were also many thoughtful people in Xianyang City talking about Bai Qi's affairs.
The meaning of bringing up old things again is so obvious.
But what does this have to do with him!
Bai Yan turned his head and looked at Mr. Hu's mausoleum. He raised his hand, slowly bent down to salute, then turned and walked down the mountainside.
Mang followed behind Bai Yan.
Hu Wujing looked at Bai Yan's leaving figure and walked down the mountainside from the front, looking a little melancholy.
"I don't know if Bai Yan can successfully destroy Wei this time."
Hu Wujing said softly, and after finishing speaking, he turned to look at his brother Hu Jin.
Hu Jin shook his head when he heard Hu Wujing's words.
"You and I both know that no matter whether Bai Yan can destroy Wei this time, as long as there are too many casualties, there will be no shortage of people in the court to advise!"
Hu Jin, who was wearing white silk, looked at the sky in the direction of Xianyang when he said this. His deep eyes were obviously filled with anger.
Hu Wujing took a deep breath, looked in the direction of Xianyang, and fell silent.
Luoyin City.
As Bai Yan's fiefdom, more and more merchants gathered in Luoyin after the incident of crossing the river, and the good effects brought about were far beyond the appearance of these merchants.
Perhaps from the beginning, many people came to cross the river for free, but gradually more and more people came, and the reputation became more and more popular, and many businessmen came here because of it.
The benefits brought by the flow of people are difficult for the nobles in Luoyin to digest alone. This has also led to many merchants coming to Luoyin to do business and open shops and restaurants. As the conditions get better and better, there are more and more places to have fun. The more there are, and the free crossing of the river, the more merchants and pedestrians will naturally be attracted to Luoyin.
After all, in the eyes of others, there are many friends in Luoyin City, and it is also convenient to know the news from all over the world, so why not do it.
Outside the city gate, except for the merchants crossing the river, dense crowds of people gathered under the city wall, looking at the people who were arrested in the distance and pointing.
"Look! Bai Yan is here!"
"Bai Yan is here!"
When these onlookers saw the carriage approaching in the distance, they all started shouting. When the carriage approached, they stopped talking.
The onlookers stopped talking, but the men who were tied up and kneeling on the ground suddenly struggled hard when they saw the carriage, looking at the carriage and roaring continuously.
"Bai Yan! You must die a happy death!"
"The Qin State is cruel. Bai Qi helped Zhou to commit cruelty. He will die a good death. Sooner or later, Bai Yan, you will follow in Bai Qi's footsteps!"
"Bai Yan! I can't kill you, I can't kill Ying Zheng, I can only hate the sky without eyes!"
One by one, the men struggled and screamed, eager to rush towards the carriage. However, behind each man, there were soldiers on cavalry holding them down, preventing the tied people from moving.
The carriage slowly stopped not far from these people.
"General, these are the people who came here to assassinate me during this period!"
He rode a horse and followed the carriage. He glanced at the men and said to the carriage.
Twenty-six people in total.
For these people, it is clear that except for a small number of them who are heroes, the rest are mostly Wei scholars with little martial arts.
They learned that Qin wanted the general to attack Wei. They didn't know whether it was because they heard the news that the general was almost assassinated in Yangxia, or they wanted to imitate Jing Ke. In short, these people came to Luoyin with one purpose, to assassinate the general. !
If he fails, he will inevitably die, but if he succeeds, his name will definitely be spread throughout the world, just like Jing Ke. Everyone has to admit that after Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin, although he failed, Jing Ke's name and deeds have already been spread throughout the world. It is well-known all over the world.
However, no matter whether these people in front of me are heroes or Confucian scholars, whether they come for fame or fortune, you will not have any sympathy for them. They are here to kill the general. This is enough to make you want to kill them. idea.
"Take him to Xianyang and hand him over to Tingwei for conviction!"
Bai Yan's voice came from inside the carriage.
"promise!"
He nodded. Just when he was about to speak, and when the carriage was about to continue driving towards the city gate, among the men in the distance, a man suddenly exerted his strength and stood up, but the next moment he was killed by an iron rider. The soldier kicked him in the thigh and fell down, then stood up again.
"Bai Yan, you Qin people have forgotten that the famous prime ministers Zhang Yi and Fan Ju are both from Wei. They helped your Qin country become stronger. Now, you Qin people want to destroy their country!"
Just as the man finished speaking, the two burly soldiers who were already enraged had already pushed him down with all their strength and pressed his head firmly on the soil. The huge force even made the man's face turn pale and blue in an instant.
Although the man had been knocked down, the merchants who were watching in the distance had heard what the man had just said. They were now making noises in a low voice, and many of them were pointing.
This scene made Zhang and other cavalry generals frown.
"stop!"
Bai Yan's voice came from the carriage, and the coachman quickly reined in the two horses again.
The curtain was opened, and Bai Yan slowly walked out of the carriage, looked at the people watching in the distance, and then got out of the carriage.
"General!"
You and the other two generals also quickly dismounted and followed Bai Yan.
"General, that man's name is Wei Pang. He is a well-known scholar in the Wei Kingdom."
The cavalry general in charge of guarding these people fell over and stepped forward to report to Bai Yan.
After hearing the words "Qiao", Bai Yan looked at the men being held in front of him, and then in front of everyone, he came to Wei Pang who had just spoken.
This is not the first time that Bai Yan knows about this kind of thing. When General Wang Jian was the leading general in the attack on Zhao, General Wang Jian often encountered such people. Needless to say, General Teng, who was born in South Korea, before the destruction of South Korea. After being scolded, many excessive Korean scholars could not accept the fact that they had become "people who had subjugated their country" after the destruction of Korea. Many people went to the gate of the governor's mansion in Nanyang County and were killed or committed suicide in front of the mansion. .
Since it was an assassination, it was good that Bai Yan did not kill them. If it was left to Qin Lu, these people would at least have hope of living.
"Let him go!"
Bai Yan said to the two people who were escorting Wei Pang, and then looked at Wei Pang, who had an indignant look on his face, and stood up while glaring at him angrily.
"After talking about Zhang Yi and Fan Ju, Bai Yan has a question, that is, why did your Wei State, together with Han and Zhao, divide the Jin State into three parts? How did the Duke of Jin treat your Wei State monarch at that time? How did he trust him? ?”
Bai Yan looked at Wei Pang with a calm expression and asked.
If it weren't for the reputation of the Qin State and the reputation of being a master, Bai Yan would not stop and answer Wei Pang's words.
This sentence made Wei Pang, who was originally full of anger and ferocious eyes, suddenly turn dull. After he realized what he said, he wanted to refute Bai Yan, but he couldn't think of anything to refute in his mind.
"In the Qin State, Zhang Yi and Fan Ju were prime ministers and served the emperor. The Qin State remembered its kindness and treated the two good prime ministers well, which is obvious to all the world. And looking at the Duke of Jin, he was the king of Wei, Zhao and Han in the past! All the Dukes of Jin have been Treat the Wei, Han and Zhao clan well! How did the Wei Kingdom get the throne?"
Bai Yan said, staring straight at Wei Pang.
The three families were divided into the Jin Dynasty. This was a fact that the Wei State could not get rid of no matter what. After all, it was 'the lower ones committed the superior'. This also made the status of Han, Zhao, and Wei quite controversial. Even the Qin State was divided into feudal states by the Emperor of Zhou. Han, Zhao, and Wei But he forced Emperor Zhou to seal it.
Seeing Wei Pang's irrefutable expression, Bai Yan noticed that the tone of conversation had changed among the countless merchants and passers-by who were looking around, so he turned around and was not prepared to pay attention to Wei Pang.
"Bai Yan!"
When Wei Pang saw Bai Yan leaving, his eyes were full of unwillingness. When he saw Bai Yan, he still didn't look back. Wei Pang finally thought of something and shouted angrily at Bai Yan.
"How can Qin win the world if it loses its nine tripods! One day, both tripods and states will be lost!!!"
Wei Pang almost roared in the end.
And this sudden roar could be heard clearly by almost everyone, including the merchants and nobles who were watching, as well as the people and pedestrians of Luoyin.
Even all the Qin soldiers were stunned and looked at each other in confusion.
Jiuding.
It is said that after the founding of the Xia Dynasty, the Nine Tripods were made by Yu the Great using the copper tribute from the Nine Shepherds in the World to symbolize the Nine Provinces. Since then, not only the Xia Dynasty, but also the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty have regarded the Nine Tripods as a national treasure symbolizing state power. , whoever wins the Nine Cauldrons wins the world.
Chu State has always been regarded as a barbarian. After generations of Chu kings worked hard to strengthen the country, during the period of King Chuzhuang, it was already the only vassal state in the world that could resist the strongest Jin State on its own. King Zhuang of Chu went to Luoyi specifically , which is today's Luoyang, asked Emperor Zhou about the weight of the Nine Tripods, and "Aiming for the Central Plains" came from here.
During the reign of King Hui of Qin, Zhang Yi formulated a strategy, hoping to capture Jiuding to command the princes. King Qingxiang of Chu and the king of Qi also hoped to compete for Jiuding.
Then King Wu of Qin specially raised the cauldron to show that he was lifting Jiuzhou. As a result, the cauldron fell out of his hand and broke his tibia. King Wu of Qin died of anger.
The legend of Jiuding is very mysterious. Its origin is far longer than the famous sword Zhanlu worn by Bai Yan. It has a long history. Whether it is a symbol or a story that surrounds it, it is probably difficult to match it in the world.
But for Jiuding, for people in the world, few people have seen it, and there are different opinions on the whereabouts of Jiuding. Some people say that in the second year after Qin destroyed Zhou, Qin moved the Jiuding of the Zhou royal family west to Xianyang, but that It is an incomplete Jiuding.
Rumor has it that Qin and Qi proclaimed themselves emperors of each other, and the Zhou royal family who was close to Qin, in order to check and balance Qin, and coerced by Qi, secretly handed over a cauldron to the king of Qi in exchange for the safety of the Zhou royal family. So far, there is a cauldron in the kingdom. together.
Then King Huai of Chu happened to be imprisoned in Qin. King Qi let Xiong Heng return to Chu to succeed him in exchange for two hundred miles of Jianghuai, and King Qi moved Ding to Pengcheng.
Later, the five kingdoms attacked Qi, and Qi was destroyed in chaos. When King Min of Qi saw that his country was about to be destroyed, he became angry and threw the tripod into Surabaya, signaling that Qi would lose the world and no one in the world could regain it.
But these are all rumors. Let alone the real Jiuding, even the ordinary big cauldron is hard to see.
Outside Luoyin City.
No one expected that Wei Pang would suddenly mention the Jiuding matter, but the effect of Wei Pang's sudden roar was much more obvious than what he just said. After all, as a Wei person, Wei Pang stood on the side of justice and benevolence. Insult the people of Qin, insult the king of Qin and be ungrateful.
But now, directly from the perspective of the people of the world, in terms of the world's righteousness, he not only bluntly stated that Qin's words were unfair and unjust, but also cursed that Qin would one day be destroyed.
Bai Yan could refute the morality of Wei State, but the Jiuding matter was a dead end for anyone in the world, let alone Bai Yan.
Bai Yan stopped, frowned slightly, and looked not far away, where he saw Wei Pang laughing wildly after seeing everyone around him making noises and talking.
Wei Pang looked at Bai Yan who turned around with crazy eyes. The ferocious smile on his face, as if seeing Bai Yan's frown, made his whole body tremble with excitement. He had never been more excited, and even felt that he was no longer excited. It was a waste of time.
"Hahaha, your Qin State says every day that you are virtuous, and all the officials of your Qin State wear black uniforms, but Ying Zheng has asked the people of the world whether the Qin State, which has lost the Jiuding, can be the master of the world! "
Wei Pang said with a smile, the sarcasm in his tone undisguised.
"The Qin Kingdom will bring peace to the world!!!"
"Qin will bring peace to the world!!"
The scholars who were tied up all around felt as if they had found a backbone when they heard Wei Pang's words. They all looked at Bai Yan and shouted with ferocious faces. Their tone was full of ridicule and anger. After that, all the voices slowly faded away. They became neat and organized, speaking in unison, as if they wanted to resound through the sky.
Perhaps they all knew that after their assassination failed, even if they didn't die, they would still be worse off than dead, or they would inevitably die after all, so they no longer had any fear and shouted loudly, hoping that all the people in Luoyin City could hear their voices.
"Shut up!"
One by one, the cavalry officers kept knocking down these scholars. However, even after being beaten to a bloody head, these scholars and knights still shouted.
Seeing this, Bai Yan raised his hand so that the soldiers did not have to hold it down.
Although the soldiers were confused, they still pretended. After all, Bai Yan was their general, and they would not disobey any orders Bai Yan gave them.
Five breaths, ten breaths, fifteen breaths
Gradually, as the scholars saw Bai Yan's actions and looked at Bai Yan's appearance, they all stood up and shouted with doubts on their faces. If one less person shouted, the voice would become quieter, and the others would naturally react. , and then everyone noticed Bai Yan's appearance.
soon.
All the bound scholars glared at Bai Yan with confusion in their eyes.
"Bai Yan will write to the king to plead for mercy on your behalf, so that you and others will not die!"
Bai Yan said.
There were hundreds of merchants and pedestrians talking around, or even more. Bai Yan knew that Wei Pang's words and the scene in front of him would reach Xianyang tomorrow, and it would not be long before they reached Ying Zheng's ears. This was undoubtedly This is a big taboo. The Qin State once turned the whole country into evil for the sake of "morality" and proved its virtue.
Wei Pang and these people are now using Jiuding's incident to not only curse the Qin State, but even ridicule Ying Zheng. Normally speaking, it will be a dead end.
But Bai Yan still didn't want them to die like this.
"Bai Yan!"
Wei Pang frowned, put away his smile, looked at the people on the left and right, and saw that everyone else looked confused and confused, then looked at Bai Yan and asked, "What do you mean? "
Wei Pang had already thought about what would happen if the assassination failed. When he said those words, Wei Pang had already guessed Bai Yan's reaction, and no matter which one, he could laugh at it. It was just a death anyway. Who would have thought that when he After getting ready, Bai Yan said that he would intercede for them.
This made Wei Pang feel a little at a loss and looked at Bai Yan with confusion.
Bai Yan looked at Wei Pang, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Bai Yan will let you see with your own eyes that Wei will be destroyed!"
Bai Yan said, and turned around after finishing speaking.
When Ming and other cavalry officers heard Bai Yan's words, they were stunned. When they understood what Bai Yan meant, they immediately laughed and looked at Wei Pang and the other scholars with ridicule.
Wei Pang and the other tied up scholars already knew what Bai Yan meant. Their eyes instantly turned red, and they kept yelling and cursing at Bai Yan with extremely ferocious faces. However, they looked at Bai Yan's back who didn't care at all and walked away. , they could do nothing except look at Bai Yan with eyes full of hatred.
Countless merchants and passers-by who were watching around looked shocked when they heard Bai Yan's words. At this time, they looked at Wei Pang and others, but they didn't know what was written.
As Wei Pang and others said, the State of Qin did not have the Nine Cauldrons that symbolized the world. On this matter, King Qin Yingzheng could not stop everyone in the world from talking about this matter.
But this time, Bai Yan is indeed going to attack Wei. At this time, the words of Wei Pang and others may not only anger Bai Yan, but even spread to Ying Zheng, and they will definitely anger Ying Zheng.
