Chapter 69 [The ministers will bet]
Bai Dong was sent to the court meeting like a duck, and it was a grand court meeting. This was the first time that the dignified Qin guest minister had entered the Liyang Hall, and he was not a qualified minister.
Ying Lianzheng looked at him with a smile. A bamboo curtain hung behind the old man. It was obvious that someone was hiding behind and peeping. Needless to say, it must be the national lady.
Ying Quliang and the young master blinked at him. The other ministers were not very familiar with him, so they covered their mouths and laughed secretly. That is, Gan Long was the most mature and generous, and looked up at him: "Doctor, please join the class first..."
The Liyang Hall is different from the later royal halls, and the area is not much larger than that of the modern elderly activity center. The monarch is not high above, but there is a long case with a picture of the storm and beast in the hall. According to the Zhou system, the crowns of the princes are also kneeling behind the case. The civil and military stations are arranged on both sides. Except for the princes of Qin, they are important officials in the country, with a total of twenty or thirty people. At this time, the Qin State had already listed the counties and counties, and the county magistrates below would not easily participate in the grand court meeting.
Lao Ganlong is the head of the ministers. According to the rules, he can set up a small case in front of Yinglian, and he is also sitting on his knees. When he sees Bai Dong coming in, he will remind Bai Dong to join the list before Yinglian speaks. This is his responsibility and it is not considered arbitrary power.
"Doctor Bai Gong, listen to the reward of Jingjian, you entered Liyang three days ago. You, a guest of Qin, don't face the king, and don't ask about state affairs, but ran to the Yue Girl's shop. Did I not give you land in the residential area? Or did I have no official and in-house office in Liyang? Do you know that the seventh-class title is already a nobleman and lingering in the restaurant for no reason. Can I punish you?"
Lao Ying even said it harshly, but there was a smile on his face. How could he really punish Bai Dong? This kid really had a solution. The whole country was holding back at Wei Yang, but he secretly asked Wei Yang to chat. According to Jing Jian's return, Wei Yang was smiling when he left. The two said goodbye in the rain. It was obvious that they had a deep friendship, which looked like Boya met Ziqi...
If it weren't for the court meeting, Ying Lian would have been scolded as a bad boy. I was worried that I could not persuade Wei Yang, so you would have a speculative talk with him? After all, you are also a guest minister of Qin and have a salary in Qin. Since you can have a good relationship with Wei Yang, you wouldn't share my worries for me? You heard the conversation between me and my husband and uncle. With your intelligence, would you not know that Wei Yang is the key to the negotiations between Qin?
"Your Majesty, Duke Bai is young and affable, and he was a minister for the first time. He did not understand the etiquette and national laws of the nobles. The old minister asked for affection for Duke Gong." Old Gan Long smiled and looked at Bai Dong, and even asked for affection for him.
"We are asking for help from the Duke..."
Since the senior official has spoken, the ministers will naturally respond. Regardless of ancient and modern times, when it is time to be a good person, you must strive forward bravely. This is the way to be an official and also the way to be a human being.
"You still want to make love for him? This kid..."
The charge of aristocrats lingering in common people's restaurants for no reason is actually nothing. It is really hard to find out if they want to get some more charges, and Ying Lian can't continue.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"
The leader has no way out, so the subordinates should be clear and express to pass by a ladder. This is the only rule for the world. Bai Dong reacted very quickly and immediately called an injustice: "When I met Wei Yang, I did not act as a minister of Qin, but was a debate between the Qingxi School and the Legal School. Naturally, it was the most suitable for restaurants. However, when discussing with Wei Yang, I knew that the king was worried about how to convince Wei Yang. Don't worry, I thought this matter was actually very easy to solve..."
"What did you say? It's very easy to solve?"
Lao Yinglian stood up excitedly, even forgot the etiquette of the king and his subjects. Gan Long turned around and bowed: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious, wait until the old minister asks the doctor first."
"Yeah, that's fine..."
Ying Lian blushed slightly. As soon as he sat back, he was hit by the man behind the bamboo curtain with his hand, as if he was blaming him for not being too impatient for the king.
"Doctor Bai Gong, do you know Wei Yang..."
"The doctor of the senior official doesn't have to worry about narration. Wei Yang is the key figure in persuading his husband and uncle, and it is also the key to the Qin and Wei peace talks. If Wei Yang is willing to convince his husband and uncle and promote peace talks, the old Qin State can get at least ten years of rest time. The benefits are so great that it cannot be calculated by the golden pearl."
"It's good if Doctor Bai understands it. Do you know that my old Qin Dynasty was so worried about Wei Yang alone. Even if you use all the methods, you can't change him? What can you do? How can you say that this matter is easy to solve?" Old Gan Long looked at Bai Dong with a smile, as if questioning, but in fact, he wanted to see how many skills this "magical" boy has.
"Simple. Wei Yang is an independent person. If you want to convince such people, you can only argue. If he doesn't agree, he will argue until he is convinced. After he obeys, he will naturally become a lobbyist for me, Lao Qin, to convince Gongshu Zhuo. For such a simple thing, I really don't understand what is difficult?"
"If you don't agree, just argue to him?"
With the calmness of Old Ganlong, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed loudly. All the civil and military officials in the court were even more hilarious. Some people with low laughter even burst into tears. Even Ying Quliang smiled and shook his head, Ping Anlang, Ping Anlang, you think things too simple. Only the young master and young official were very angry, and he would glare at anyone who laughed. My brother said that simple is simple, what's so funny about this!
Old Yinglian also wanted to laugh wildly, but fortunately, the person behind him did not lose his monarch's style again. "Your Majesty, this kid is probably successful, so he should be careful of being deceived by him..."
"Li Jiang is worried too much. If he can really convince Wei Yang, what if I have been deceived once? Haha, I'm just afraid that he won't be deceived."
After the ministers laughed, their eyes looked at Bai Dong incorrectly. This boy seemed ridiculous, but when they thought about it carefully, everyone felt their old faces were hot. On that day, Wei Yang was talking about everyone at the state banquet. Who was not his defeated general in the court? But this boy said that Wei Yang was not convinced and argued that he was convinced? It seemed that it was easier to argue against Wei Yang than to eat and drink water. Is this considered looking down on Wei Yang or looking down on everyone? Could it be that the old Qin dynasty could not compare to you, a young boy?
Among the civil and military officials in the court, Du Zhi was the most insidious and mean person. He walked to Bai Dong and sneered: "Doctor Gong is such a big tone. If you can't tell Wei Yang, then what if you can't tell Wei Yang?"
"Will Zuo Sikong bet?"
Bai Dong was worried, and finally someone was willing to provoke him. Thank God, Du Zhi is a fortune-giving boy? Although it was his first court meeting, I heard Ying Quliang and others talk about the ministers in Qin State and what specific official positions it was. There was a black mole under Du Zhi's left eye, which was so easy to identify.
"bet?"
Du Zhi was stunned. He was stingy by nature. When he heard about money, he subconsciously went to copy his sleeves. The young master and young official laughed and said, "Old Du, why are you picking up your sleeves? Don't you dare to bet with my brother?"
"Who said he didn't dare? How much did you gamble?"
Bai Dong smiled and spread his hands: "Bai took it all the way to bet Zuo Sikong wants to bet. Don't worry, if I lose, even if I sell my house, land, and beg on the street, I will definitely admit it."
"It's interesting and interesting. Gongdao is such a wonderful person. I'll start a new head. If you can really argue with Wei Yang, the Gan family will pay 50,000 yuan!"
The first bet was Lao Gan Long: "I don't love Jinzhu. If the Duke Doctor wins Wei Yang, I will regard this 50,000 yuan as I thank you for Qin. If I lose, the Duke Doctor doesn't have to pay me a penny, what about?"
"Then thank you, doctor." Bai Dong bowed slightly, and he always had to respond.
"I'll bet 10,000 yuan too..." The teacher participated, and Du Zhi had to go there with a tough head, not to mention that in his opinion, Bai Dong was sure to lose.
"It's my one, five thousand dollars!"
"Ten fifteen thousand dollars!"
None of these ministers is a fool. What kind of person is Wei Yang? His words are sharp and eloquent. Even a well-educated person like Shangdao was defeated. You kid? Shangdao doesn’t want you to lose money if you lose. That’s the style of a national prime minister. I don’t care about these things. Someone sends money to the door, so he’s an idiot!
After a while, the bets made by the ministers in the palace were more than 200,000 yuan. Lao Ying was secretly shocked. These ministers were inherited from generation to generation, and it was difficult for him, a king, to investigate whether they had greed for their behavior, but they were greedy.
Bai Dong smiled and slapped the ministers one by one, but was afraid that these people would regret it. He asked the palace guards to find bamboo slips, and wrote the names and money of the people involved in gambling. Then he hid himself in his sleeves with a smile, turned his head and said to Ying Lian: "Your Majesty, my subordinates will definitely be able to argue with Wei Yang this time and promote the negotiations between Qin and Wei. You are the richest person in this hall. Have you not rewarded me?"
"What!"
Lao Ying's eyes were even wide open when he heard this. The hands behind the bamboo curtain trembled. The boy actually came to him and became a reward when he got here? It was simply outrageous!
ps: Thank you for your rewards and support from brothers such as "Burongyi", "Chinese interests", "monkeys ask for help", "little fleas" and other brothers.
