The lake surface of the inner lake in Baijiazhuang is still frozen. Children in the clan like to wrap their wooden boards around their feet and slide on the lake surface in this weather. While sliding, they bent down to grab the clean snow and smashed them into groups toward their companions. Snowball fights are not in vain. Winners can get the sugar cakes of the losers, which are made of good wheat noodles and malt sugar. Even in Baijiazhuang, they are considered first-class food.

Three layers of gauze tents were pulled on all sides of the pavilion, which could slightly block the wind. The "I'm out of seclusion" carved by the Gongshuoist were placed on the stone table with red fruit dumplings, fried soybeans, sugar cakes and a few side dishes for wine. The most tempting thing was a plate of wild venison, which was cut into thin transparent slices of meat and placed in the copper cauldron in the middle of the small table and eaten. It was combined with the sauce specially prepared by Bai Dong, which was tender and juicy and very delicious.

However, Ying Quliang still likes Hongguodun'er. Isn't it better to say that men are more angry? He ate more than twenty times in this moment, and combined with the good wine brewed by Baijia, he would not change it to a god. Unfortunately, he didn't want to be a god, but he just wanted to see Lao Qin prosperous and dominate the world in his lifetime.

"When the father was dying, Ping Anlang once said that Lao Qin would be the world within fifty years. Only when the father heard you say this would he be willing to leave with confidence. The third brother originally thought that Ping Anlang was just to comfort his father's heart. Now it seems that Ping Anlang should have such a method, but why don't you teach me, but you want to introduce a Wei Yang to make the third brother understand!"

Ying Quliang was really unwilling to give up. After breaking up with Bai Dong, he still had to make the final effort after thinking about it. Bai Dong also understood that this kid would not take action without being forced. If he forced him with brotherly feelings, maybe he would change his mind. Old Qin had to reform, but Wei Yang might not be able to take responsibility. The most satisfactory result was that Bai Dong presided over the reform and Wei Yang was an assistant, but it seemed that there was great difficulty in realizing it.

"The king said that Wei Yang is a talent."

"It's a good talent, but unfortunately his prestige is far from enough. Otherwise, the third brother would have appointed him as the Minister of Reform. How could he still hesitate? Now that the emperor has given him the flesh, the third brother will hold a ceremony of heaven and earth soon. The eldest brother supports me with all his strength. The Longdong elite cavalry is becoming a general, and the old noble group of Yongqi will never dare to make any changes. If Ping Anlang presides over the reform, the world will be settled! But if it were Wei Yang, I'm afraid I'll have to prepare for half a year before I can let go! Ping Anlang, Wei Yang is very anxious. Third brother is even more anxious..."

"If you are anxious, you will inevitably get burned by hot tofu. Third brother won't make such a mistake, right? I once made an appointment with my ancestor. Qin will not force me to do things I don't want to do. Is Third brother going to violate the agreement? Third brother, how delicious is this red fruit dun'er? This is made by bitter wine and grass overnight. Just for me, I said, "Don't miss the good snow. They knew that their mother needed to eat this food, and they knew that I liked it. In order to make this food, they could not even sleep..."

Bai Dong ate the venison and pointed at the child playing on the lake with a smile: "San brother, look, is there such warmth and happiness in the Qin Palace? Is there such a warm scene in the court? I am a very, very selfish person. I just want to have this kind of happiness and protect my home. It's not that I don't do anything for Lao Qin, but I just don't want to stand on the cusp of the storm! The way to move ancestors is either dead or dead! Third brother, do you have the heart to let your brothers be in danger?"

"You are the one who has been admitted to the Ying family, and there is also the jade tablet that the third brother gave you! What are you afraid of?"

"Of course I'm not afraid, but my family will be afraid, and my descendants will be even more afraid of being retaliated. After seeing the reform strategies offered by Wei Yang, wouldn't you know how many people's interests will touch? These people may not dare to provoke me, but what about my family and descendants? Third brother, you have to consider Sier and leave him a powerful Qin State so that he will no longer have your troubles today. Brother, shouldn't I consider my son, grandson, and grandson's grandson? You are my third brother, should you cheat me too?"

Bai Dong put down his wine glass heavily.

"How could the third brother be such a person? However, the Qin State reform was the most worried about Wei State, and it is difficult to guarantee that Wei Ying would not send troops in the chaos. Pang Juan once said that the one who respects him in the world is Mr. Guigu, and the one who is afraid of him is the fourth brother. The strategy of adding troops and reducing stoves used in the battle of Longdong is most likely to be difficult to escape even if he encounters it. If the Qin State reforms, Wei State will inevitably covet intentions. You are the only one who can shock Wei State. The third brother is afraid that Wei Yang will not be able to bear it..."

Ying Quliang glanced at Bai Dong: "Besides, it was Haikou you boasted that day, and you said that it would use the world's salt profit to provoke the dispute between Wei and Qi, so that Wei Wuxia would look around Lao Qin. Although Wei Qi has friction, there is no war. Instead, the national strength of Wei is getting stronger and your words have not been realized. Shouldn't you make up for Lao Qin? Third brother doesn't care..."

No matter what? The dignified king also learned to act coquettishly... Bai Dong coughed heavily, and the drink almost choked into the trachea. Fan Qiang even twisted his head to the side and watched the children playing snowball fights on the lake, meaning I didn't hear it.

"Don't worry, third brother, I had an appointment with the Grandmaster of the Grandpa of the Grand Historian that day, and Lao Qin gave me the private salt management rights. The Bai family also pays the operating expenses every year. Will I be willing to pay for it? Don't worry, Wei Qi will definitely fight, and if he doesn't fight, he will be a big battle. But now there is not the most suitable time...well..."

Bai Dong glanced out of the pavilion. Although he was passing through the hazy gauze tent, he still saw the bitter wine hidden behind the rockery by the lake.

A "bad guest" came to his house, and he was the most terrifying guest with Lao Qin's status. He couldn't drive him away. What else can he do besides hiding here and gritting his teeth? If he couldn't, he had to send this "bad guest" away as soon as possible. The moment he had spent with him, he would have to waste his money on him.

"The third brother doesn't need to persuade me. I will support the reform, but I won't preside over the reform in person. Don't worry, let Wei Yang do it. He is a trustworthy person. At most, I promise my third brother that I will go to the court meeting when discussing the reform. If necessary, I will support Wei Yang."

"Ping'anlang, this is what you said. We must fully support the reform and support Wei Yang?"

"San brother, please rest assured. Since Wei Yang is the one I recommend, why would I not support him? Today, my brother still has important things, so I won't spend more time with my third brother. Look at him..."

"Are you going to drive me away?"

Ying Quliang was stunned and the monarch arrived at his minister's home. That was the great glory of his ministers. The longer the monarch stayed, the more favor he favored. I have never seen a minister take the initiative to expel guests.

Fan Qiang smiled slightly, reached out and pointed to the distance, lowered his voice and said in Ying Quliang's ear: "Your Majesty, we are not the time to come, it's time to leave earlier."

Following the direction of Fan Qiang's fingers, Ying Quliang looked at the bitter wine with resentment at a glance, and suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, let's go... that, I'm going!"

Wei Yang is now reading at night every day, from Guan Zhong's reform strategy, to Baili Xi's reform of observing etiquette, to Li Qing's series of policies and regulations surrounding farming and land power development... He is familiar with every historical reform successor, absorbing their essence, and criticizing their cowardice and slowness.

In Wei Yang's view, Baili Xi, a famous minister of Lao Qin, was not considered a reform. He just brought complete Zhou etiquette to Lao Qin who was still in the "cultural desert". Guan Zhongqiang had the word "profit". For the sake of profit, he even did not hesitate to introduce the system of the ladies first, without fearing the criticism of later generations. This is for the strong king to use power, and the lowly ministers to do profit, which is not enough for Lao Qin to gain. What can really provide him with a lot of nourishment is Li Jue. The Qin State's change should also start with farmers and land, and use cool methods to correct it. It will be effective in five years!

Bai Dong gave him a chance, and Ying Quliang needed a strong man. This is the road to repaying Wei Yang. He had roughly convinced Ying Quliang that what he had to do now was to defend the civil and military ministers of the court. This matter was very difficult...

Today, Wei Yang is no longer the Wei envoy who entered Qin that day. In order to reach a ceasefire with Wei, the whole country must think about how to curry favor with him and convince him. Even if he talks freely in the Liyang Hall and speaks rudely, the Qin monarch and ministers know how to listen honestly; now he is just a down-and-out scholar who wanders to Qin, a nameless "guest minister". Anyone can refute him loudly and point at his name and curse "superman"! When he thinks that he will face those conservative old aristocratic groups and Gan Long, who are full of "loyal ministers" who are full of thoughts of restoring the old system of Duke Mu, Wei Yang will suffer a lot of headaches.

After a headache, Wei Yang clenched his fists tightly and told himself that he must succeed! He must get Bai Zi's support. Now he has started to learn the latest official script, just like a scholar in the world. The more he learns, the more he realizes the beauty of new words. He has also heard that the king and the military officials are leading hundreds of miles away to welcome Bai Dong. How many ministers have the emperor and his ministers been worshipping him? To reform, he must be enemies of the old Qin Dynasty. He needs the greatest help. The toughest backstage is not enough. If Bai Dong supports him, great things will be accomplished!

"Wei Zi, I am Jing Jian, open the door quickly!"

Wei Yang hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether he should take the risk to see Bai Dong; the emperor has already said that at tomorrow's court meeting, it is best for ministers to support him. If he objected, then he would argue and convince them one by one! This is the most critical moment in his life, and he needs a strong backstage. But he was very hesitant. The last time he was rejected by Bai Dong for three days is still vivid in his mind. If he fails to ask for a meeting, he is really afraid that he will not be able to bear it.

Jing Jian came at this time. Since entering Qin, Jing Jian has been his only friend. This is a flower-like man who likes to help the "weak". Moreover, the more tenacious the "weak" is, the more vigorous Jing Jian will help. Wei Yang is very lucky to be able to get the help of Jing Jian, at least he is not completely isolated.

"I will come to the North Korea to discuss reform tomorrow. Success or failure will be here, so don't you want to fight for Heianlang? If he has spoken for you, all the civil and military officials in the court will give you some face."

Shaking off all the snow, Jing Jian sat in front of the brazier, baking the fire while looking at him with a smile.

"Forget it... Everyone in the world is difficult to measure what Bai Zi does, I'm afraid..."

"Haha, I'm afraid of being rejected by him? At that time, the entire Qin Dynasty was all your enemies except me. If you ask me, you can't modify your reform strategy slightly and become gentler? This may make you less enemies..." Jing Jian shook his head slightly. As Wei Yang's "good friend", he knew some reform strategies. It would be strange if he said it out and not be attacked by the crowd. Why is this guy so stubborn?

"Never! Whether it is unchanged or a great change, Yang never takes the middle path!"

"Haha, I knew you would be like this... OK. I'm just a joke. Heianro has a letter to you. Let's take a look."

"Bai Zi has a letter to me!"

Wei Yang was overjoyed and quickly opened the letter. After reading it, he was speechless for a while.

"Why don't you say anything? What did Peace Lang write for you? Isn't it Qingxi Secretology? Tell me quickly... Are you going to be anxious?"

"It's a story...'Tortoise and Hare Race'..."

"What, the story of the turtle and the rabbit race? It's a joke. Even if the turtle is fighting for its life, it won't be able to escape the rabbit? I understand, Heianlang wants you to be a rabbit and win the 'turtle' in the court? Bah, it's my husband's fault. I'm not calling the doctor and the turtle..."

"Don't worry. Bai Zi didn't let me be a rabbit. He wanted me to be a turtle, a turtle that would win in the end..."

Wei Yang held Bai Dong's letter tightly, and his heart was undulating for a while, and it was difficult to violate the decision for a long time.

***

It was still a small dynasty meeting, and most of the participants were officials of the old Qin. Ordinary county magistrates were not allowed to attend. Ying Quliang was very cautious, so in order to avoid these old ministers being prepared in advance to collude with each other, so he did not mention the reforms, but only said that it was a discussion of strategies to strengthen the country.

There are always more than a dozen times in this kind of court meeting a year, and there is no new meaning at all, but a few days ago, just worshiping the world. Ying Quliang officially ascended the throne, and Bai Dong's new words were quickly promoted throughout the world. The old Qin Dynasty was a new atmosphere. The ministers had some expectations for this court. When they were waiting for the court, there were many topics left by Bai Dong, and they were all wondering if the Bai Zuo, who was unprecedented in the King of Zhou, had some new insights and was preparing to open up a new trend. If it were really him, it would be a bit exciting.

When the eunuch sang the title of "Bai Zuo Geng", everyone was excited and focused their eyes on Bai Dong. It seemed that there was nothing wrong. I had never seen him attend court several times on weekdays, but today I came early. I guess there must be an amazing plan to offer it to Lao Qin, which makes people look forward to it.

Bai Dong walked along the way, all the ministers consciously dodged, allowing him to reach the third place in the literary class; Zhang Feng returned to Yongdu, and now in the literary class, he has the highest title. Although he has no real position, he should retreat by inventing new words and the great achievements of returning the meat.

Old Gan Long smiled and looked at Bai Dong: "Boy, you have never been to court. It is not easy to come here today. Why are you hesitating about it? You should take the seat of the chief officers and chief officers."

Bai Dong was about to wave his hand, and the ministers laughed and said, "There is no need to be a fool. If you don't sit in this seat, who can sit in the hall? Haha, although we are old ministers, we have never received the honor of the king and the ministers greeting each other for a hundred miles. If you don't sit, you're joking me..." Du Zhi even grabbed Bai Dong's sleeve and pulled him towards the top of the ministers.

The position of the head of all officials has always been Lao Gan Long. The last time Bai Dong was placed in this position was because he obtained 100,000 stones of food and saved countless victims. This time he made more achievements than the sun and the moon, which was unprecedented for Lao Qin, and it was even more natural. Even Lao Gan Long had no objection to Du Zhi's move. The higher Bai Dong's achievements, the happier he was. Who made the kid's word be obtained by him? Zhu Guo... A promised word that day became a reality today. Who wouldn't praise the doctor for having the foresight?

"Everyone, it's not that boy refuses to sit, but I'm afraid this seat is not that boy, I can't sit."

Bai Dong pushed away Du Zhi's hand and shook his head repeatedly.

"Okay, it's really my old Qin's beauty. I have said a long time ago that although Bai Zuoreng has made great achievements, he is a humble gentleman, not an arrogant person. Now it seems that this is true. You are really capable of knowing pearls, and you are not as good as a disciple."

Although Bai Dong has made great contributions, he needs to give a special order to the monarch to sit in the top of the officials. After all, compared with Lao Gan Long, his qualifications are far inferior to Lao Gan Long. Last time, it was Ying Lian and Li Jiangqiang's order, so he just sat down. This time Ying Quliang did not give the order. The ministers in the hall actually had the intention to compare him. If he took it seriously, even if no one objected on the spot, he would privately think that young people were ignorant and arrogant, and they would always be unbearable. Now Gongsun Jia saw Bai Dong taking credit but not arrogant, and he was even more respectful to this young important minister. Lao Gan Long nodded repeatedly. Now he thinks that Bai Dong is good, Bai Dong is happy to sit, and he is even happier if he doesn't sit.

Du Zhi smiled and said, "Bai Zuo doesn't sit, and Daliangzao never comes to court. The head of the officials is the seat of his mentor. Please..."

"This Du Zhi is the worst thing he has!"

Bai Dong secretly complained in his heart, but unfortunately he had no time to stop him. Old Gan Long was moving the deer head crutch in his hand and walked towards the top of all officials with a smile...

"Doctor, wait!"

Fan Bo suddenly turned out from behind the scenes and looked at Gan Long and said, "Today's court meeting, the seat of the head of the officials does not belong to the senior official, the emperor has a special order."

"Haha, I have said a long time ago that I should be a newbie... This kid knows how to respect the old ministers and be as humble as a gentleman. It really makes people love and hate them. Boy, why don't you come quickly? Do you really have to wait for the order from the Lord to come and invite you?"

Old Gan Long's expression changed slightly. He looked at Bai Dong, but laughed again. Although it was a bit inappropriate for the Lord to give up his position at this time, it was nothing to give it to this kid, it was originally his intention.

"The Supreme Doctor is wrong to meet the emperor, and this position is not even better. The emperor has an order, and now Wei Yang, a famous scholar in Wei State, entered Qin, and the strategies he offered are in line with my intentions. Today, the court meeting is led by Wei Yang, and he should be the first of all officials!"

"What! The emperor asked Wei Yang to be the first of these officials?"

Gan Long's old face turned red, and the officials in the hall were even more impatient. Bai Dong didn't say anything, but was secretly surprised. The monarch is the monarch. The third brother's move is really cruel to cut off people's back. It turns out that the imperial power strategy is so terrible...
