Chapter 1278

"Second brother, what does Your Majesty say?"

Meng Yi had just returned home after coming out of the palace. Meng Tian, ​​who had been waiting for his house, couldn't wait to come up to ask.

As the commander of the Western Army, Meng Tian is now regarded as the backbone of the Qin army and is absolutely the first in terms of seniority. However, in this era of monarchy, everything he had depends on the emperor's attitude.

Yesterday, he entered the palace to visit the First Emperor as soon as he arrived in Xianyang. Meng Tian made detailed statements about the Western Army's stolen and sold ceramic equipment, and also apologized for guilt and was willing to take the title and dismissal to calm the court and the people's views on this matter. However, the First Emperor did not denounce him, but just told him not to worry and guard Longxi and guard the Western Regions well.

The emperor's words were unclear, and Meng Tian was naturally anxious. News had just come from the court. The civil and military officials called for punishment of the generals of the Western Army very high. He heard that the emperor had to express that Meng Tian and others were indeed unforgivable. It was just because the Western Army went deep into the Western Regions far away from Xianyang, and once the disturbances of the morale of the army were dealt with, they were temporarily suppressed.

But in Meng Tian's opinion, the First Emperor will definitely not delay for a long time.

"Feng Xiang and Feng Zhongcheng are very determined in this matter, I am afraid that it is really difficult to deal with. Once the elder brother and Di Dao Hou Yinshan Hou are dismissed from office and deceased, I am afraid that the Western Army will be in turmoil in an instant..." Sitting down in the study, Meng Yi briefly said the comments he had just been in the palace.

After hearing this, Meng Tian frowned and drank tea. After thinking about it, she sighed slightly and said, "If the Marquis of Qinghe is here, there may be a turning point in this matter, but at this critical moment, he actually returned to his hometown to visit his relatives. What should he do now?"

Meng Yi twitched his face a few times and said, "I guess he left on purpose!"

"What does the second brother mean? I heard that Qinghe Hou's sister got married. It was the Dragon Boat Festival. It was the time for him to go back this time, so why did he say it on purpose?" Meng Tian put down the teacup in surprise.

"Hmph, this guy is extremely smart, and has been planning to reform the military system for a long time. The messenger for a month ago reported that Li Xin's troops rebeled from the north of Tianshan Mountain, and more than 50,000 prisoners were about to return to the court to offer prisoners. He knew that Li Xin would return to Beijing, so how could he miss this good time to reform the military system? This time he left in the name of visiting relatives, he must have wanted to put this matter on you and me..."

After hearing Meng Yi's complaint, Meng Tian remained silent for a long time again, but his face that had been frozen slowly began to melt, and finally turned into an inexplicable surprise and excitement. Finally, he punched the desk and suddenly stood up, "I understand, okay, Qinghehou's arrangement is indeed old and did not treat our Meng's support for him unfairly!"

"Why is my brother so excited?" Meng Yi was so scared by Meng Tian's sudden punch that he almost fell off the chair. He hurriedly put the teacup while shaking the tea from his clothes while asking in confusion.

"Qinghe Hou is now in power, unwilling to participate in the military reform, nor is he willing to get involved in the military's restructuring, and arouses too many suspicions from the army, so he has always been unwilling to take action. But this is indeed the best time for reform. He just wants to put this credit on us and resolve this enamel crisis by the way!" Meng Tian explained excitedly.

"Brother, don't be too happy too early. The reform of the military system is difficult and the details are extremely complicated. I have communicated with him at the beginning. Many of the words are like the heavenly book. Who can do it if he is not here? Also, if the elder brother writes a letter to reorganize the army, but if the reform fails, the blame will be inevitable. If the two crimes are added together, I am afraid that the elder brother and the Marquis will not be guaranteed. This is not a merit to my Montessori, but obviously he wants me Montessori to take the blame!" Meng Yi curled his lips very unhappily.

"Haha, second brother, don't be too stubborn. The arrangement of Qinghe Marquis is a strategy of killing two birds with one stone. It can not only promote the reform of the military system, but also avoid the crimes of Yinshan Marquis of Di Dao. The military strategy says: The military has no constant momentum, the water has no constant shape, and the one who can win due to the changes in the enemy is called god. In my brother's opinion, Qinghe Marquis is not in the capital at this time, but it is a stroke of a god. The second brother will give the reform of Qinghe Marquis and the military system you mentioned in detail, and will make a detailed report for you to ask your Majesty to reform the military system!" Meng Tian seemed to have figured out Chen Xu's arrangement, and his worry and anxiety disappeared.

Although Meng Yi could probably guess that Chen Xu was indeed suspicious of leaving the capital this time, he was not as far-reaching as Meng Tian.

Meng Tian has always been in charge of the army. He can tell the truth about the past and current situation of the Qin army. He also has some ideas about reforming the military system, but it is far less thorough than Chen Xu's thoughts.

Originally, Meng Tian and Meng Yi had communicated several times about the reform of the military system mentioned by Chen Xu through letters, but neither of them expected that when things really reached a critical moment, Chen Xu actually lifted his pants and ran away. This made Meng Yi very unhappy, and Meng Tian also lost his innocence in an instant.

According to Meng Yi's original idea, after Li Xin and Meng Tian returned to the capital, the court would inevitably have impeachments and various punishments for punishment. Chen Xu would definitely take the opportunity to point out the increasingly deeper and deeper military system of the Qin Dynasty, and then propose memorials to reform the military system, so that the Meng family and Jiang family could help shake the flag and shout to promote this reform.

If Qinghe Hou is the shield, Meng Tian and Li Xin and Jiang Hu will have much less guilt, and the possibility of being dismissed from office is very small. The ending is just a false alarm.

If we really want to calm the anger of Emperor Shin and the dissatisfaction of many ministers, there is also the Wuhou, who has a low family status in the court.

In short, the risk of Montessori must be minimized.

However, Meng Yi had a lot of calculations and thought that he could still be a bystander or cheerleader like before, but unexpectedly, the protagonist Chen Xu suddenly ran away and left the mess to them to deal with it themselves.

At this moment, Meng Yi suddenly realized that the son-in-law who was easy to deal with in the past was so terrible that he could hardly catch his tail.

At the same time, he also sighed inexplicably. It seems that in order to resolve the Montessori crisis, Montessori really can only roll up his sleeves and rush to the front.

Because this matter did have nothing to do with Chen Xu, Chen Xu had nothing to say, no matter they were concerned about them, now Chen Xu threw this matter to the Montessor, asking the Montessor to open up the gap in military reform according to the military system reform he set, and then the drastic reform will come naturally.

If the Montessori just wanted to sit and enjoy the idea of ​​taking the lead, Chen Xu would only say that he could not help Montessori's future situation.

In the future, the military and political circles of the Qin Dynasty will inevitably need more fresh blood. Chen Xu was worried that he would still have a lot of people to put in, and he would overturn Meng Tian. In the future, the people of Ying Bu and Han Xin could climb up quickly. After all, he was almost completely out of control of the Montessus. The relationship between the father-in-law and son-in-law was not enough to make the two completely closely tied together. Only factions were the most stable cornerstone.

For the next half day, Meng Tian and Meng Yi sat in the study to drink tea to discuss the military reform plan that Chen Xu had mentioned, from local lieutenants to soldiers guarding the capital and guarding the border, from taking turns to selecting and recommending combat troops composed of elite soldiers, during which he also talked about the exemption of service, the reform of military titles at the level 20, and the military merit evaluation of soldiers and soldiers, and everything Chen Xu said about Meng Yi still remembered.

Meng Tian was still holding a pencil and recording it on the paper. When he encountered something he was puzzled, he had to ask repeatedly and circle it. When the day passed before and after Shenshi, he had already passed, and dozens of draft paper were piled up on the desk.

The two heads of the family closed the study to discuss the military reform. Meng Yi's wife, concubine and servants dared not disturb him. Many people stood outside the study and waited anxiously.

At the sun set, Meng Yun, a handsome and elegant man in brocade robe, rode a golden sweat-blooded horse and took several servants back to the house from outside the city. After washing and changing clothes, he discovered this situation. He tiptoed to the crack of the door to see what shameful things the uncle and father were doing inside. As soon as he pressed the door on his hand, he heard a creaking sound. The door opened. Meng Yun fell into the study without any warning and hit a man's belly.

Accompanied by a muffled groan and a crackling sound, Meng Yi, who had just opened the door, was caught off guard by his son's arms. He immediately took a breath of pain and almost passed away. He covered his chest and abdomen and stepped back to the desk. The pens, ink, paper, ink, ink, and pen holders and pen holders on the desk were scattered all over the ground, frightening Meng Tian, ​​who was still sorting out the manuscript.

"Dad~" Meng Yun stood up in confusion and looked at his father who was grinning with his teeth on his face. He was so scared that he woke up, and ran out.

"You beast, what a sensation? Stop, I have to break your legs today~"

Meng Yi picked up a feather duster casually. He thought that he was not good enough. He glanced in the study room and then pulled out the long sword hanging on the wall and roared and chased after him.

"Dad, please spare my life. My child did not mean it. He was just worried that you and uncle hadn't eaten for half a day, and they were afraid that they would get hungry!" Meng Yun ran away in the garden with his head in his arms, explaining loudly.

"Fuck you, you won't knock on the door and speak with your mouth when you eat. I will definitely forgive you today..." Meng Yi followed behind and danced his sword and walked like flying. A group of wives, concubines and servants all exclaimed, but in the face of Meng Yi's unstoppable murderous aura, no one dared to stop him. He could only watch the father and son running wildly in the back garden, and the whole Meng Mansion was in an instant and was very lively.

"Oh!" Meng Tian, ​​who had packed up the manuscript, looked at the lively scene, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, then pinched more than ten manuscript papers and left.

Military and national affairs are of great importance. If he wants to escape smoothly from this matter, it can be said that reforming the military system is the best way. Chen Xu threw the task of charging to the Montessori. He was the first to bear the brunt of this big tripod.

However, the reform of the military system involved the emperor's forbidden area. If one is not careful, he would have a different body and head. Therefore, he and Meng Yi had to deal with it carefully. Therefore, he had to write this military reform memorial first. Not only should he point out the shortcomings of the current military system in detail, but he also had to come up with military reform strategies that suit his status. Many things that looked like Chen Xu's usual strong style must be abandoned. All he had to do was go back and consider them carefully. Based on the military reform strategies summarized by Chen Xu and his own ideas, he would write a reform strategy that suited the current military system of the Qin Dynasty.

The reason why it is said to be a strategy is that once this memorial receives enough support, as long as the emperor is moved, Chen Xu should do the next thing.
