The next day, Bai Yan, who had to go to court, woke up early after being informed by the maid. He looked at the woman who was still sleeping beside him and the frown on her pretty face. No matter how sleepy he was, he couldn't help but turn into a smile. .
After gently kissing the woman's forehead, Bai Yan stood up slowly, looked at the messy clothes on the ground, and bent down to pick them up.
The door opened, and under the service of the maid, Bai Yan washed up, put on the Qin official uniform, put on Zhan Lu, and left the mansion.
"He, meet my little master!"
Not long after Bai Yan left, a maid came to the room and knelt in front of the bed.
"go out!"
Tian Feiyan's beautiful eyes quietly opened, and after taking a look at the maid, she asked her to go out.
"promise!"
Upon hearing this, the maid stood up gently and left obediently.
It turned out that when the maid reported it, it was not just Bai Yan who woke up. Tian Feiyan, who had never slept with anyone before, had also woken up. He was just pretending to be asleep the whole time.
Smelling that the bed did not have the familiar fragrance from Qi Guo, but instead smelled of a man. Feeling the discomfort in his body and the residual warmth under the quilt beside him, Tian Feiyan's pretty face couldn't help but turn red.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Tian Feiyan was not surprised that the maid left the room.
Everyone thinks that Qi Martial Arts are just those soldiers and assassins who are good at skills and various weapons on the battlefield! But in fact, among Qi's technicians, there are also female martial artists.
However, contrary to the male martial arts in the military, there are few female martial arts who are proficient in martial arts. They are more involved in housework, music, or serving the head of the family. Although these skills cannot be used on the battlefield, they can be used in the bustling world. In the city, the female martial artist can easily enter the mansion, get close to the owner, and serve as eyes and ears.
In the past twenty years, his father Tian Ding regarded Qin as a tiger and had been arranging female martial artists to be scattered throughout the Qin State. Moreover, as the vassal states of Han, Zhao, Yan, and Wei were successively annexed by the Qin State, the vassal states that he had arranged in the past were A large number of eyes and ears in the imperial clan and official residences also followed their masters to Xianyang. Because they all had special skills, the martial arts women who came to Xianyang were much easier to adapt to than ordinary servants and maids.
Ying Zheng had never mentioned the marriage in the court before, but Tian Xian and Tian Feiyan already knew about it before coming to Xianyang. From this matter, it can be seen that it is not only the connections of the Tian family, but now The eyes and ears Tian Feiyan had in his hands would probably make Bai Yan smack his tongue when he heard about it, and even the residences of some important ministers of the Qin State would not be spared.
This is why Tian Ding can't follow him to Xianyang, but he can still let Tian Feiyan live in Xianyang with confidence.
In Xianyang City.
As the darkness recedes and the sky becomes brighter, pedestrians are constantly coming and going on the streets. Wealthy people can be seen walking together in front of shops, restaurants and other places.
Qin destroyed the princes, and King Qin Yingzheng moved the old princes' clans to Xianyang. This move not only stabilized the land of the former princes, but also had a huge impact on the prosperity of Xianyang.
At this moment, in the streets and alleys of Xianyang City, among the busy traffic, there are scenes of traffickers and servants, scholars having fun, children visiting relatives, and friends paying visits. The atmosphere is extremely lively.
And as the hours passed by.
In the middle of Xianyang City, in the huge, vast and towering Xianyang Palace.
In the palace hall, as the civil and military officials left the palace, Bai Yan could not leave early. He could only wait in the palace like Feng Quji and others, and then went to the palace study under the leadership of Han Yezhe. discussion.
"Wu Liejun!"
Ying Kan was wearing Qin's official uniform and was waiting for Bai Yan on the way to the palace study. When he saw Bai Yan arriving, he held his hands in greeting.
"Chongquan-kun!"
Bai Yan returned the favor to Ying Kan. They were both acquaintances, so neither of them were too polite in terms of etiquette.
As for Ying Kan, Bai Yan had not yet found time to get together with Ying Kan during the period when he returned to Xianyang. In addition to the fact that there were too many people in front of the mansion who wanted to visit and give gifts, another reason was that Bai Yan did not want to participate in the cooperation with Ying Kan. Things between the clan members and Ying Zheng.
Bai Yan was not stupid. After returning to Xianyang City, he learned about the actions of the Ying clan and Feng Quji's words. Bai Yan had a vague premonition that the cause of Qin's destruction in the future was far from as simple as Zhao Gao.
Throughout the history books of later generations, all the rebellious ministers, without exception, either controlled the power of the court and emptied the king! Either the close relatives of the clan hold important positions and control the military power, and thus start an army and plot rebellion.
Simply relying on a young master to monopolize the court is equivalent to a eunuch in future generations, relying on a prince and half-prime minister to control the entire country.
This will be difficult to achieve in later generations, let alone in Qin.
Whether it is Ying Zheng today, King Zhuangxiang of Qin, or King Xiaowen of Qin, they all relied on the powerful Chu power in the Qin State to become the King of Qin. The same was true for King Qin Zhaoxiang. At that time, King Qin Zhaoxiang was still far away in Yan. The hostage could return to Qin and inherit the throne among countless Qin princes, and he could not do without the help of King Zhao Wuling and the forces of Qin.
Bai Yan couldn't imagine that Zhao Gao, a eunuch, wanted to completely control the court with just one Hu Hai and one Li Si.
Recall that after Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, he got rid of his brothers and sisters. Recall that after Li Si died, Zhao Gao still had no worries. Recall that Zhao Gao, who had always been in control of the Qin court, died easily in the hands of Ziying.
Throughout the whole process, the Ying clan, a force that had been heavily documented when the kings of the Qin Dynasty fought for it, seemed to have disappeared and never appeared.
Down the corridor.
Bai Yan was chatting with Ying Kan and walking. Looking at Ying Kan beside him, Bai Yan also hoped that he was being suspicious, otherwise, even Bai Yan couldn't help but shiver behind his back.
"Wu Liejun, Yingkan had a private discussion with Guowei, Tingwei, and the left and right prime ministers. Since the king is anxious to destroy Qi, it would be better for Wuliejun to lead the army, pretend to go north to destroy Yan, and capture King Xi of Yan, and then use lightning to cover his ears. We will go south to attack Qi State and approach Linzi!"
Ying Kan looked at Bai Yan and expressed his thoughts.
Bai Yan had been kind to him, and before that, Bai Yan had saved Ying Xi. Ying Kan respected Bai Yan very much, both in public and private matters, and kept Bai Yan's kindness in mind.
At present, regarding how to destroy Qi, apart from the generals who led the troops in Chu, the only certainty is that Bai Yan, who controls the military power in northern Xinjiang, must be the one who participated in the destruction of Qi, and may even be the main leader.
Previously, General Teng was also a Korean, and General Teng was the main general who led the army to destroy Korea. Now, it doesn't feel strange when it comes to Bai Yan.
"Attack them all?"
Bai Yan was a little surprised when he heard Ying Kan's words.
"But if we forcefully attack Qi, it will inevitably cause the King of Qi to panic. If the King of Qi summons the Qi army to resist Qin, and the nobles of the six countries in Qi respond one after another, Bai Yan is worried that it will be counterproductive! There will be turmoil in all parts of Qin. !”
Bai Yan did not expect that all the ministers had decided to persuade King Qi to surrender before, but now they all changed their minds.
"Therefore, Lord Wu Lie needs to personally lead the troops. The sooner we arrive at Linzi, the better. When the troops arrive at the city, and we force the King of Qi to surrender to Qin, why worry about the Qi nobles resisting!"
Ying Kan looked at Bai Yan and explained that this decision was very risky. He needed to send envoys from the Qin State. Before arriving at Linzi, the Qin army had already attacked Linzi. As long as he persuaded the King of Qi to surrender earlier, the nobles of the Six Kingdoms in Qi would be willing to do so. There is no time to respond to Qi State.
And if something goes wrong, then it is very likely that the consequences that we were most worried about before will occur.
Bai Yan and Ying Kan then talked together, and the two soon arrived in the palace study.
In the study room.
Bai Yan, Ying Kan and others, after meeting Ying Zheng, saw the joy on Ying Zheng's face, and they all came to the map.
After a while, listening to Ying Zheng asking about how to deploy troops to Qi after pacifying the Chu region, under Bai Yan's eyes, Ying Kan finally stood up and gave Ying Zheng suggestions for attacking Qi.
During Ying Kan's story, not only Ying Zheng listened patiently, but even Wei Liao, Li Si, Feng Quji and others did not object.
"Your Majesty, if this plan can be successful, we can annex the entire land within three months!"
After Ying Kan finished speaking, he looked at Ying Zheng seriously.
Feng Quji, Li Si, and others all knew what Ying Kan's words meant to Ying Zheng at this time.
"What do you think, dear ladies?"
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and others and asked.
"Although this plan is risky, it is worth a try. I will all listen to the king's decision!"
Li Si and other ministers, none of them are nearly fifty years old.
Everyone knows the pros and cons of Ying Kan's advice. Now that Ying Zheng is so eager, even if they block it, it will probably not help. They might as well just go with the flow.
"What do you think, Mr. Wu Lie?"
Ying Zheng looked at the important ministers of the Qin State, but none of them had any objection. Then he looked at Bai Yan and asked.
Chongquan Jun Yingkan on the side, as well as Li Si, Wei Liao, Wang Wan and others, also looked at Bai Yan at this time. Everyone knew that now that Wang Jian was not in the court, as far as leading troops, Bai Yan was the only one. Yan led the troops to destroy the country.
When this move requires attacking Qi, the momentum is overwhelming. At present, only Bai Yan can lead the army, which is the safest.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to attack Qi!"
Bai Yan raised his hand and saluted Ying Zheng, but when he said this, Bai Yan still felt a little complicated. After all, Bai Yan had never planned to lead troops to attack Qi in person, thinking that Qin would make peace. Persuade the King of Qi to surrender.
However, Bai Yan also knew now that following Ying Kan's advice, and with the consent of Wei Liao and other ministers, even if he refused, Qin would send others to lead the army to attack Qi.
It seems that according to later records, Wang Ben and Li Xin led the troops, first went north to destroy Yan, and then went south to directly attack Linzi. They sent envoys to lure the King of Qi to surrender, and gave them a land of 500 miles, so that King Jian of Qi issued an edict and ordered Qi to surrender. The country surrendered to Qin.
"good!"
Ying Zheng looked at Bai Yan's actions with joy on his face.
Looking at Bai Yan, who had previously led the troops to garrison Shangjun for the Qin State, and then attacked Zhao, destroyed Wei, and then defeated Chu, Ying Zheng was full of confidence. In Ying Zheng's eyes, Bai Yan led the troops to go, whether it was Yan, Neither Qi nor Qi could stop Qin's iron hoof.
Yan, Qi!
Thinking that within three months, it would be possible to destroy these two vassal states and realize the unification of the world and the rule of Qin, Ying Zheng could not wait for Bai Yan to set off immediately and lead his troops to the northern border.
"Wu Liejun, if you have any needs during this trip, please let me know. I will definitely satisfy you!"
Ying Zheng suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked Bai Yan if he had any request.
"Your Majesty, the State of Yan is in the north. Unless Donghu comes to help, there is nothing to fear. I am worried about the State of Qi! If Tian Ding can come to Xianyang and Bai Yan can attack Qi, we will be 100% sure!"
Bai Yan thought for a while, then raised his hands to Ying Zheng and said.
Feng Quji frowned slightly when he heard Bai Yan's request. Before Bai Yan returned to Qin from Chu, Feng Quji also lamented that Bai Yan had taken precautions and nipped in the bud.
But Bai Yan's current behavior made Feng Quji a little worried. Feng Quji would rather Bai Yan was greedy at this time.
Tian Ding is a powerful minister of the Qi State. In fact, there is no need for Bai Yan to speak to Ying Zheng in person. As ministers of the Qin State, they will discuss with Ying Zheng how to summon Tian Ding to Xianyang for marriage.
"good!"
When Ying Zheng heard Bai Yan's words, he couldn't help but replied happily.
Tian Ding was a minister of Qi, but how could he be Bai Yan's opponent in war? When Bai Yan made his request, Ying Zheng knew that Bai Yan's words were more selfish.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng was not only not dissatisfied, but on the contrary, he liked Bai Yan more in his heart. Throughout Bai Yan's visit to Qin, he only begged him three times. The first time was to hide things about his family, and the second time was to Bashang, for Tian. Ding pleads for mercy.
But now, Bai Yan once again asked him to bring Tian Ding to Xianyang.
Whether it's a request for a loved one or a request for the person you like, and you still have that three-foot-long body to promise Qin!
Ying Zheng knew clearly that the young man in front of him did not value fame, fortune, or money, but rather love! Love is divided into family love, love between men and women, love between friends, and love between monarch and minister.
Friends, Bai Yan's friends all served the Qin State and died in the battle for the Qin State. It was Ying Zheng who made Bai Yan a high official and a general. He was also named Wu Liejun. Men and women, Tian Ding and his daughter will come to Xianyang.
The last remaining ones are Bai Yan's family members who are still in Qi!
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng decided that after Yan and Qi were destroyed and Qin unified the world, he would not only go to Mount Tai to enshrine himself, but also go to Qi to ask those scholars if they were willing to serve Qin. In addition, he would also personally visit Bai Yan's family to see Look at that old woman I’ve never met.
As long as Bai Yan's family is personally invited to live in Xianyang, there is no need to worry about a talented man like Bai Yan not being devoted to Qin.
…………………………
Night falls.
When Bai Yan returned to the mansion, it was already midnight. When he came to the study, he saw Tian Feiyan and Bai Junzhu talking.
Looking at the two girls, Bai Yan couldn't help but wonder why the two girls were getting along more harmoniously with the one he imagined. Logically speaking, let alone Tian Feiyan's character, even Bai Junzhu's unyielding personality could not be so harmonious. yes.
"Even more entertainment than my father!"
Tian Feiyan watched Bai Yan coming over, smelled the smell of alcohol on Bai Yan's body, and frowned.
Bai Junzhu looked at Bai Yan, then quietly went to the stove nearby, took down the tea that had been prepared, and brought it over to sober up Bai Yan.
"The Li family wants Li Xin to serve in the army!"
Bai Yan smiled at Tian Feiyan and explained, watching Bai Junzhu pour tea for himself, pick it up and take a careful sip.
After going to court, Bai Yan went to the Li family for an appointment. Unsurprisingly, the Li family came to him because of Li Xin's affairs and wanted to give Li Xin a chance as soon as possible.
Bai Yan was a little surprised to see that Tian Feiyan didn't look shy at all because of what happened last night.
"Um?"
Bai Yan suddenly looked at the tea in the cup and could feel that the taste was different from usual.
"It's the tea that Madam specially prepared for Mr. Wu Lie!"
Seeing Bai Yan's gaze, Bai Junzhu said softly, recalling today's contact, but one day, Bai Junzhu was a little confused. Whether it was talking or anything else, Tian Feiyan was taking care of her unknowingly.
And even Bai Junzhu herself had to admit that despite being unfamiliar with him at first, it was difficult for her to feel any resistance to Tian Feiyan when they came into contact with him later.
Tian Feiyan never targeted her from beginning to end. Instead, he asked her to help Bai Yan with laws and other matters. This made Bai Junzhu, who had been prepared for tit-for-tat before, not only feel at ease, but also because own thoughts, and a little ashamed.
"Um!"
When Bai Yan heard Bai Junzhu's words, he looked at Tian Feiyan with a smile in his eyes.
Bai Yan is used to Tian Feiyan's sharp-tongued character. Tian Feiyan's words are meant for outsiders to listen to, but only the person involved can understand Tian Feiyan's actions. Just like drinking tea, it will not warm you. Only Bai Yan understands the warmth of the heart.
However, thinking about what happened in the palace study today, Bai Yan felt vaguely uneasy. From Ying Kan's actions, it could be seen that not only Ying Zheng was anxious, but also the forces of the Ying clan were waiting for Qin to merge with the world. Waiting for Ying Zheng's enfeoffment.
Recalling the records of later generations, before the unification of the Qin Kingdom, Wang Jian said: If you are a great king and general, you will not be granted the title of marquis!
After the unification of the Qin State, there were dozens of marquises in the Qin State. Even Li Xin was eventually named the Marquis of Longxi. This had to make Bai Yan guess whether there was a stalemate between Ying Zheng and the Ying clan. In the end, Yingzheng probably used the method of enfeoffment to win over the generals in the court, weaken the power of the clan, and stabilize the implementation of Qin's counties.
These are just Bai Yan's guesses at this time, and we need to wait until later to know, but the only thing that is certain is that now the Ying clan has all gathered together. When the Ying policy destroyed Qi Yitong, the clan members, They can't wait to entrust them.
Xianyang is not peaceful either!
While Bai Yan was thinking, he thought that Ying Zheng had already ordered people to go to Chu Di, planning to have him quietly leave Xianyang and go to Yanmen in the near future while the side cavalry and cavalry were heading north.
"Young disciple, I'm going to bed!"
Tian Feiyan stood up slowly, but after taking just one step, his pretty face began to frown unnaturally.
"Watch out!"
Bai Yan naturally knew why, and was about to stand up and help Tian Feiyan, but he didn't expect it. Tian Feiyan glared at him angrily. Bai Yan, who couldn't laugh or cry, could only give up and watched Bai Junzhu stand up, help Tian Feiyan, and move toward the room. Go outside the door.
Watching the two girls leave, Bai Yan, who was sitting on his knees in front of the wooden table, saw a roll of bamboo slips beside the wooden table. He reached for it and opened it. When he saw that it was clearly recorded on it, Tian Feiyan was already in his Bai Yan's house. According to the household registration, she is Bai Yan's wife. According to Qin laws, Tian Feiyan already has the name and rights of his wife.
Bai Yan couldn't help but smile.
for a long time.
After resting, Bai Yan heard that the maid had prepared hot water, so he got up and went to wash up.
In the night, when Bai Yan returned to the room, he was a little surprised to see the maid extinguishing the candle and leaving the room. Looking at the maid who was doing the ceremony, and thinking of Tian Feiyan's strong temper, Bai Yan asked the maid to leave first.
In the dark room, Bai Yan came to the bed and slowly lay down on it.
Bai Yan, who had tasted the joy of men and women for the first time, although he still had thoughts in his heart, but when he thought about Tian Feiyan's unnatural walking and frowning look, he finally felt sorry for Tian Feiyan and lay aside honestly.
In the silence, Bai Yan knew that Tian Feiyan was not asleep yet, but was just pretending to sleep.
I don’t know why, at first, Bai Yan could feel calm whether he was with Zhao Qiu or in the same tent with Master Xu. However, after what happened last night, and now lying together with Tian Feiyan, Bai Yan always felt that My whole body feels hot and my mind is always filled with random thoughts.
You can always give her a hug. Let’s see if Tian Feiyan can pretend to sleep!
Following the thoughts in his mind and thinking of Tian Feiyan's alluring appearance, Bai Yan shamelessly turned around and put his arms around the beauty, smelling the woman's unique body fragrance and feeling the softness of the beauty's delicate body in his arms.
Bai Yan clearly felt that when he met Tian Feiyan, Tian Feiyan seemed a little frightened, and his delicate body trembled slightly.
Looking at Tian Feiyan, who was still pretending to be asleep, Bai Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but as he lay there, his thoughts gradually became active, and his hands began to become dishonest, but as he touched a soft place, Bai Yan on the bed suddenly wrinkled My brows, something feels wrong...
Dengtuzi comes from the literature of the Warring States Period, specifically referring to a person's name - Dengtuzi. According to legend, Deng Tuzi was a senior official of the Chu State and was described as a lustful man in front of King Xiang of Chu. Later, people used the word "dentuzi" to describe a lustful man.
