"Standing attentive~"

Chen Yong and the eleven boys all had a bang at the same time, and stood up straight like a javelin with a solemn expression.

"Ask a moment!" Chen Xu was very satisfied, and his serious expression relaxed slightly, "I brought you all from Qinghe Town. Have you heard of the story of this Hou being a Lidian in Qinghe Town back then?"

"I've heard of it!" a group of teenagers replied loudly.

"Then when did you hear that this marquis is the most powerful?"

"Kill the mountain pig and the big snake!" Many young men said in unison.

"Go, the Marquis asked about what happened after Lidian. When he killed the mountain snake, wasn't the Marquis still Lidian?" A young man who looked smart at the sight of him curled his lips.

"Yes!" A group of teenagers came to their senses and scratched their heads and thought about it for a while. Some said they were killing tigers in the Wild Wolf Valley, some said they beat Ma Teng in Wancheng, some said they were beating Meng Yun in the papermaking workshop, and some said they were destroying bandits who hijacked tax grains.

"You are right. The most powerful thing about this marquis is to wipe out those bandits!" Chen Xu nodded at a young man, and then his face became serious again. "At that group of bandits were hiding near Qinghe Town, and for more than ten years, the biggest good thing that this marquis did for Qinghe Town is to wipe out all these bandits. If the bandits were allowed to hide near Qinghe Town, you might be captured by them and now they have become bandits!"

"The Marquis is right. I knew that a beggar boy who was a few years older than me was taken away by bandits, but I don't know if he was a bandit or was killed by them and eaten meat..."

"How could you eat meat? You must be a little bandit!" Someone retorted.

"What's the difference? Anyway, they were either killed or caught by the marquis later, and in the end they were all cut off by the county magistrate!"

"It's different. I heard that some women didn't behead their heads..."

"I'm talking about a man!"

Although a group of teenagers had the momentum of military force, they must be a group of former mountain teenagers, and they were familiar with each other every day, so they also liked to argue with each other. Chen Xu did not interrupt them. After the group of people habitually ended the argument and calmed down, Chen Xu spoke.

"You may have heard later that the bandits were instigated by a man named Zhao Zhe to rob the tax grain of Qinghe Town. Zhao Zhe's father was the former high-ranking official in the court, Zhao Gao, the CRRC Mansion Commander, and later Zhao Gao and Zhao Zhe colluded with him to murder this marquis. Now almost everyone knows that Zhao Zhe was dominated by Prince Qingning because of murdering this marquis in the palace, and Zhao Gao was also sent to Shu by the emperor because of his rebellion. According to the news from this marquis, Zhao Gao's family was killed by all the bandits in Shu, but Zhao Gao escaped his life... Now, he put on makeup and became a Miao doctor and hid in the palace. He must have wanted to find an opportunity to murder this marquis to take revenge..."

"Zhao Gao actually dared to murder the Marquis. Since he was not dead, let me kill him!" A young man angrily pulled out the dagger from his waist.

"Yes, kill this bastard to avenge the marquis!" The other young men all jumped up, including Commander Chen Yong.

"Standing at attention~" Chen Xu gave the order, and the noisy and excited group of teenagers stood at attention in an instant, looking at Chen Xu without squinting.

"I'm here today for this reason. I have a grudge against Zhao Gao to kill his son. Now that his family is destroyed, he must be looking for an opportunity to seek revenge on me. This marquis cannot wait for him to kill me, so I want to kill him in advance!" Chen Xu said in a cold voice.

"Mr. Marquis, just arrange it, how can you kill this bastard Zhao Gao!" Chen Yong said angrily with his fists.

"There is only one Miao doctor in the palace, the imperial doctor in the Imperial Hospital. This Miao doctor was pretended by Zhao Gao. He gave medicine to cure Li Si's disease. Zhao Gao is now unrecognizable. He was blind and had a little lame right leg. Therefore, as long as he came out of the palace, it would be easy to recognize him. What I want you to do is to find a chance to kill him after discovering that Zhao Gao came out of the palace. Can you do it?"

Chen Xu looked at a group of teenagers, and after looking at each other, he knelt on one knee on the ground under Chen Yong's leadership.

"If the Marquis had not taken us in at that time, we might have starved to death. Our lives were given by the Marquis. The Marquis' enemy was our enemy, and the Marquis' enemy was our enemy. For the Marquis, we would never refuse to die. Don't worry, we would definitely kill Zhao Gao!" Chen Yong said loudly.

"Killing Zhao Gao is one of them. You must conceal your identity and not let anyone know that this matter was arranged by this marquis, so you cannot use the Taiyi God Musket!" Chen Xu reminded.

"Don't worry, Marquis, we used to be beggars, and there were many beggars on the street. We would put on makeup and beggars and guard near the palace. Once Zhao Gao came out and killed him immediately, he would definitely not involve Marquis. If the imperial guards discovered, we would commit suicide and die. We would definitely keep the Marquis' secrets strictly..." Chen Yong turned his head and looked at the row of young men behind him and said coldly, "Did you hear what the commander said just now?"

"I heard it!" a group of teenagers answered without hesitation.

"Okay, if you successfully kill Zhao Gao, I will give you a reward. If anyone is injured, I will support him for the rest of my life. If someone dies, I will buried him with great care and if there are relatives in my family, I will support him to end my old age!"

"Thank you, Marquis!"

"Well, get up. Chen Yong is responsible for this matter. Follow his arrangements and keep it confidential, quickly and without any flaws. There is a snack stall selling pancakes near the east gate of the palace. If you go, you will say that the king of heaven will cover the earth tiger. He will return you to hoe the wheat at noon. If not, ignore him. If so, he will tell you about some movements in the palace!"

"Marty, what is the one who bought pancakes..." a young man couldn't help asking.

"Shut up, don't ask much!" Chen Yong interrupted the young man's words, then stood up and bowed, "Marty, as long as Zhao Gao leaves the palace, we will guarantee to complete the task!"

"Go, take care of yourself. I hope you all can come back alive. At that time, you will get married, have children and enjoy wealth and prosperity. It is not in vain to have a fight with me. Remember, you must see Zhao Gao die with your own eyes!" Chen Xu finally reminded.

"Don't worry, Master Marquis, we will definitely bring Zhao Gao back and leave!" Chen Yong hugged his fists again, and quickly left the backyard with ten teenagers.

In order to keep an eye on Zhao Gao's whereabouts, Chen Xu has arranged for more than a year, and Zhao Gao is like a turtle hunched in the palace and has never come out.

But now, after learning that the emperor had already suffered from poisoning, Chen Xu had to find a way to do it in advance, even if he lost a few lives.

Whether Qin Shihuang died or not would be too sentimental to Chen Xu. After all, the two of them were not as good as wearing the same pair of pants. Chen Xu's ideal was just not to expect that China would undergo violent turmoil after the collapse of the Qin Dynasty, which would reappear the tragic killing and great destruction of civilization during the Chu-Han battle for hegemony.

But now is the critical moment when the Qin Dynasty flourishes. Chen Xu's many reforms need the support of the emperor. Once Qin is dead and has not established a crown prince, it is estimated that the court will be in a mess in an instant, and all reforms may stagnate. If the court and the young masters are fighting too hard, it is not impossible for the Qin Dynasty to split in an instant. Although officials from all over the country and nobles of the six countries have been honest and docile in recent years, as long as the seeds of hatred and the determination to restore the country are still there, a slight turbulence will jump out.

And the most important thing is that Chen Xu has almost no big influence on the military, and Meng Tian cannot control it, and Wang Ben and Wang Li cannot control it even more. Even in the court, Feng Quji and Meng Yi are not exactly wearing a pair of pants with him. When it comes to matters of principle and things that may cause the family to take risks, the two of them are surprisingly consistent, that is, they will never get involved.

The court is a whirlpool of officials fighting for power and interests. All officials must be careful in their words and deeds. In the past, in order to deal with Zhao Gao, Meng Yi and Chen Xu stood together, but later in order to deal with Li Si, Chen Xu won over Feng Quji. However, Zhao Gao has been ruined and Li Si has passed away. The foundation of previous cooperation no longer exists. Therefore, the court has once again formed a stable iron triangle, and is in a very delicate state between each other.

On national affairs, Feng Quji and Meng Yi still supported Chen Xu's reforms, and it was not possible to support them, because Chen Xu could easily handle the emperor. At present, Chen Xu's status and power in the court were even higher than when Li Si was in power. Feng Quji felt that he was about to become a younger brother again and had to compromise with Chen Xu.

Fortunately, Chen Xu is different from Li Si. Chen Xu is not authoritarian and never randomly reaches out to interfere in government affairs of the government office outside the Secretariat. Therefore, he still gets along well with Feng Quji and Meng Yi.

The relationship between the three giants in the court and the emperor was also a very toothache for Chen Xu.

The three nobles and the emperor were all relatives, including the former left prime minister Li Si, who were all relatives, of course, Wang Jian and Wang Ben and his son.

Li Si's son Li You, Meng Yi's son Meng Yun, and Feng Quji's eldest son Feng Jing both married the emperor's daughter. Of course, Chen Xu also married a princess. Therefore, Chen Xu, Li You, Meng Yun, and Feng Jing are all brother-in-law relationships, and you can call me brother-in-law when you meet.

Chen Xu married Meng Yi's daughter, so he and Meng Yun were still in the relationship between him and his uncle and brother-in-law.

Chen Xu also had a engagement with Wang Qingxiu, and it was promised by the emperor himself, so he was also a relationship with Wang Ben.

There was a saying in later generations that there was no father or son in the casino. Now in the court, these relatives who could have sat together and had a drink and had a happy relationship, but they all became a semi-hostile relationship. They only had family interests and rights, and they had plotted against each other, and they had no relative feelings at all.

Therefore, in court politics, both father and son can turn against each other, and in the battle for the throne, both flesh and blood can be killed.

If anyone is so stupid that he thinks that he can rely on these relatives and blood ties to maintain a stable position, he will sooner or later fail.

Among all of these people, the only one who made a profit was the Emperor.

Through marriage, he can tie all the ministers he valued and the royal family together, and prosper and lose together.

At present, Zhao Gao was hiding in the palace, and Chen Xu's big net had been spread out, waiting for Xu Fu's arrangement to seduce Zhao Gao out.

After Chen Yong left with a group of teenagers, Chen Xu grinned and thought about the chaotic relatives between him and a group of important officials in the court, while repeatedly thinking in his heart how he should remedy it if a group of teenagers failed to assassinate or were captured alive by the imperial guards.

Although I don’t know when Zhao Gao will leave the palace, everything must be arranged step by step according to the worst plan.
