According to the original plot, Fan Yuqi fled to Yan State, was taken in by Yan Dan, and later committed suicide because of Yan Dan's plan to assassinate Qin.

And based on Bai Yuan's understanding of Fan Yuqi during this period, this guy is definitely not someone who will take revenge at all costs for his family.

In his eyes, family is not that important at all, otherwise he would not risk being attacked by the Yi tribe to rebel.

Therefore, Bai Yuan is more likely to have the influence of Lord Changping.

After all, the peasant family Tian Guang contributed to the assassination of Qin, and the peasant family later had a close relationship with Lord Changping, so it can basically be said that Lord Changping participated in this plan.

However, it is Bai Yuan's speculation that Fan Yuqi is a dead soldier, and there is no evidence.

Bai Yuan casually burned the secret letter and released the dove.

No matter what, Fan Yuqi's death means that the case of Chenglong's rebellion is almost over.

Ying Zheng will definitely try to eliminate the impact of this incident and then secretly investigate the truth.

Bai Yuan would have chosen this way.

Bai Yuan sighed about the troubled times and then put the matter behind him.

After meeting his beautiful wives again, Bai Yuan didn't want to think about these conspiracies. He just wanted to spend the night with Concubine Yan and others.

After a night of absurdity.

Early the next morning, Bai Yuan was still hugging Luna and lying on the bed to rest, when he was woken up by the maid outside.

"Sir, someone is coming from the palace."

Bai Yuan yawned and stretched, a little dissatisfied with someone disturbing his rest.

But he still asked the maid to come in to help him get up and get dressed, wash up and prepare to meet the people in the palace.

Because Luna was so tired, she didn't get up and slept in the room for a while longer.

Bai Yuan came to the front hall and saw that the person who came was an eunuch beside Ying Zheng, and there were many people following him, carrying some boxes, and he couldn't help but be curious.

Seeing the rightful owner coming, the eunuch quickly took a copy of the king's order.

"Master, I am here to announce the order under the orders of the king."

Bai Yuan nodded, guessing what was going on.

"Tianzong Bai Yuan, you traveled thousands of miles to capture the traitors Cheng Jiao and Fan Yuqi, relieved me of my worries and made great contributions. I hereby grant you a thousand pounds of gold, a hundred pieces of silk, and a fief of ten thousand households!"

Chapter 459 The truly strong are willing to use the freedom of the weak as their boundary

(Note: The rewarded attendants were changed to one hundred pieces of silk, but the attendants are still not needed)

After the eunuch announced his decree, he immediately showed a flattering smile.

"Congratulations, sir! Congratulations, sir!"

Bai Yuan listened, smiled softly, and nodded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

As he expected, this attitude brought him benefits.

But Bai Yuan was really surprised. Ying Zheng actually gave a reward of up to 10,000 households. Aren't you afraid of causing dissatisfaction among others?

In fact, the capture of Cheng Yu and Fan Yuqi is not a great achievement. Bai Yuan himself feels that compared to Wang Jian, Meng Ao and others who attacked the city and captured the land for the Qin Dynasty and killed countless enemies, his contribution must be Far inferior.

It's just that from Ying Zheng's perspective, he won't think about this. As long as it allows him to vent his anger, it's worth it.

Moreover, it has also shortened the relationship with Taoism, and Ying Zheng is sure to make a profit.

Bai Yuan didn't bother with these trivial matters. Ying Zheng would handle these matters by himself, so he accepted the reward calmly.

At the same time, he also secretly stuffed a gold cake into the eunuch who came to announce the decree.

The eunuch congratulated him so flatteringly just because he wanted to get some benefits from him, and Bai Yuan would not be stingy with a little money.

Humanity is just that.

After receiving the benefit, the eunuch immediately beamed with joy, asked his attendants to put down the things, and then said some good words before going back to resume his duties.

After those people left, Ning Yan and others who had just witnessed the whole process were a little uneasy and looked at Bai Yuan with wide eyes.

"Didn't we just have a hallucination?"

"Just now I seemed to have heard that King Qin was granting you... food for ten thousand households?"

Seeing the surprised expressions of the girls, Bai Yuan couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

"You are not hallucinating."

Ning Yan and the others looked at each other, then covered their mouths, almost not screaming.

"There's no need to be so surprised, right?"

With a calm expression on his face, Bai Yuan walked aside and poured himself a glass of water.

Concubine Yan and others couldn't help but give him a roll of their eyes when they heard these flamboyant words.

"This is a city with ten thousand households! Originally, Lu Buwei was the only one with more than ten thousand households in the entire Qin Dynasty. However, Lu Buwei has long since lost power. You are now considered the number one person in the Qin Dynasty!"

If we only talk about food and towns, this is indeed the case.

Although Lu Buwei previously had a settlement of 100,000 households, after the Lao Ai incident, Lu Buwei resigned and went to a fiefdom. He took the initiative to reduce his settlement to reduce his threat to Ying Zheng and protect himself wisely.

Therefore, Bai Yuan, who has thousands of households in the city, is already the number one person in the Qin Dynasty.

Bai Yuan laughed.

"It's just a settlement, not a title. In the final analysis, it's just more tax revenue."

There is indeed a close relationship between food and title.

However, the feudal system and the feudal system are actually independent of each other and do not restrict each other.

Among the recorded feudal lords, some did not have fiefdoms, and some nobles who enjoyed fiefdoms did not have fiefdoms.

Compared with the title of king, it is easier to obtain food and fief. As long as you make certain achievements or reach a certain position, you may enjoy food and fief.

In Ying Zheng's royal decree just now, Bai Yuan was given a city to live in, but he was not given any title.

For Ying Zheng, it actually means paying a small part of the tax. In the final analysis, it means spending money.

Most of the things that can be solved with money are not problems.

It can be said that the title of Ten Thousand Households is just a symbol of honor. Compared with the reward of Ten Thousand Households mentioned in later generations, it is still one less than a marquis.

But the Marquis is not that easy.

Since Shang Yang's reform until now, only a handful of people have been granted the title of marquis, and the conditions are extremely harsh.

Even if Bai Qi, the God of Killing, had made so many contributions, in the end he was only granted the title of Lord Wu'an.

Although Bai Yuan said so, the joy in Concubine Yan's eyes was still hard to calm down.

For example, Duan Murong and Nong Yu's eyes are almost like stars.

For a moment, everyone admired Bai Yuan extremely.

The man they have decided to entrust their life to is so capable, they will naturally feel extremely proud in their hearts.

"No matter what, this is a big happy event, so we still have to celebrate it!"

Ning Yan smiled and made the decision for Bai Yuan, and immediately ordered Yun Xi and others to buy some ingredients and prepare a banquet in the evening to celebrate Bai Yuan's reward.

Seeing this, Bai Yuan had no choice but to let them make trouble.

It's okay to celebrate it.

While the girls were busy preparing for the banquet, Bai Yuan went to the study.

Zi Nu caught a glimpse of Bai Yuan entering the study alone. She hesitated for a moment and felt that there was nothing she needed help with, so she followed him.

In the study, Bai Yuan was about to polish his ink when he heard Zi Nu pushing the door open and entering.

"Let me help you!"

Zi Nu stepped forward and took over Bai Yuan's work.

Bai Yuan nodded with a smile, sat down slowly, laid out a piece of white paper on the desk, and picked up a writing brush.

Zi Nu polished the ink for Bai Yuan, and then stood quietly watching Bai Yuan write, which was quite a bit like red sleeves adding fragrance to accompany reading.

Zi Nu looked at what Bai Yuan had written, and the look on her face gradually changed from curiosity to seriousness.

"Are you planning what you are going to do?"

"Well, now that we've been waiting for so long, some things should be put on the agenda."

Bai Yuan paused, then nodded and smiled.

The content of what he wrote was nothing else but his eastbound plan for the Qin Dynasty.

The first country to be tackled in the plan is South Korea.

Zi Nu frowned slightly: "Are you planning to help Great Qin attack South Korea?"

"If possible, I certainly don't want to use war to achieve this goal. After all, Han Fei and I are also good friends, and Honglian will not be happy to see this scene, so it is a last resort. I will not do it unless it is a last resort. .”

Bai Yuan put down his pen, reached out and took Zi Nu's delicate hand, and pulled her into his arms.

Zi Nu sat on Bai Yuan's lap, and when she heard Bai Yuan mention Honglian, her eyes darkened.

"You made these plans for Princess Honglian, right?"

Bai Yuan saw that Zi Nu seemed to be a little emotional, so he smiled and took a sip on Zi Nu's face.

"You shouldn't be jealous of Guren, right?"

"I didn't..."

Zi Nu touched the place where she had just been kissed, her face suddenly turned red, and she turned her head away with evasive eyes.

Bai Yuan put his arm around Zi Nu's slender waist, gently squeezed Zi Nu's small hand, rested his chin on Zi Nu's shoulder, and smelled the faint fragrance of purple rush on her body.

"I promised Honglian that I would not let her wait too long. Since I made the promise, I cannot break it."

"Not long ago, I received a letter from Xinzheng. The old man Ji Wuye actually tried to ask King Han to marry Honglian, but he failed because of Han Yu's manipulation."

"But Ji Wuye's power is getting bigger and bigger. Even if Han Yu joins forces, they can only deal with it for a while. After all, it is not a long-term solution."

Without the restraint of Liusha, the fourth son Han Yu completely broke up with Ye Mu again because of the Nanyang incident. Now Ye Mu is acting more and more unscrupulously in South Korea, and there is a faint tendency to suppress the royal power.

So Bai Yuan can't wait that long anymore.

Zi Nu was a little surprised: "You just said that Han Yu was involved in it. Could it be that Han Yu had reached an agreement with you?"

Zi Nu is good at strategy and has very keen political intuition, and she immediately guessed the connection.

Bai Yuan was surprised by Zi Nu's keen intuition.

He nodded: "Yes, I helped Han Yu solve the Nanyang disaster and help him ascend to the position of prince. In exchange, he must protect Honglian for me."

When Zi Nu heard this, she suddenly realized.

"It turns out that you helped Han Yu solve the disaster in Nanyang, and also got rid of the Emerald Tiger, one of the four evil generals in the night!"

She was extremely surprised when she learned the news in Xinzheng.

After all, neither the Nanyang disaster nor the Emerald Tiger is easy to solve, let alone solving them both at once.

Bai Yuan smiled and nodded.

"The disasters in Nanyang at that time were all man-made, not only because of the rebellion in Tianze, but also because of the Emerald Tigers who took the opportunity to raise prices. To solve the disaster in Nanyang, we must first get rid of the Emerald Tigers."

Zi Nu smiled after hearing Bai Yuan's explanation.

She, Han Fei and others formed Quicksand to fight against Ye Mu, but in the end they did not have much impact on Ye Mu.

Now that she knew that Bai Yuan had removed the Jade Tiger, Zi Nu felt like she had let out a bad breath.

"If you get rid of it well, people like Emerald Tiger should end up like this!"

She hates Emerald Tiger, a businessman who is so unkind for his wealth and only clings to the powerful.

In order to make money, they don't even care about the lives of innocent people and make them worse. Such people deserve to die!

Seeing Zi Nu's sudden look of indignation, Bai Yuan suddenly felt that Zi Nu was a little cute, and couldn't help but take another sip on Zi Nu's face.

Zi Nu wiped her face unhappily: "Why... did you suddenly kiss me..."
