In the middle of the Xu hour, although the sky was already dark, the heat of summer still made people unable to calm down. The sound of insects and frogs intertwined, and fireflies were flying all over the sky, giving off a warm atmosphere that only midsummer could be.

Meng Yi was lying on a rocking chair in the pavilion in the backyard of the mansion and chatting with his brother Meng Tian, ​​rocking his palm-shaped fan. Of course, the details discussed with Li Xin Jiangheng and others tonight.

"Master, the Fourth Master is back and said there is something important to report!" The housekeeper of the Hou's Mansion hurriedly came and reported in a low voice.

"Please hurry!" Meng Yi frowned slightly and sat up.

"Yes!" The housekeeper stepped back, and Meng Tian sat up and asked, "Why, have you arranged for the fourth brother to go out for business?"

"No, there is another thing I have never told my brother that the old house in Jianchenghou in the south of the city was transformed into a Quyuan. I invested 300,000 yuan to occupy 300,000 yuan, so I arranged for the fourth brother to be a supervisor in it. I told him not to come to the mansion to see me if there is nothing to do on weekdays. I am afraid that something happened in Chunfang Garden today?" Meng Yi explained briefly.

"So that's it, but why are you so nervous about Chunfangyuan?" Meng Yi asked in confusion.

"The brother doesn't know anything. The Queen of Qinghe suspected that Zhao Hai intended to collude with his son Hu Hai, and was suspected of conspiring to usurp the throne. This is like this..." Meng Yi roughly told the story of Zhao Gao's possible collusion between Zhao Hai and Hu Hai.

"Since the Queen of Qinghe is suspicious, why didn't she make arrangements personally? If the fourth brother gets involved, he might be implicated?" Meng Tian also frowned.

"Brother, don't be nervous. This matter was arranged by the Hou Qinghe. Because I have shares in it, I used my hand to convey the message..."

Meng Yi said as he stood up, gently shaking his palm-leaf fan to the edge of the pavilion, looking up at the sky and glorious galaxies, sighing slowly, "What the Marquis of Qinghe said at the beginning is coming, maybe it will be Zhao Hai and Hu Hai. If Your Majesty does not establish the crown prince, he will suddenly die in the sky, and Zhao Hai and Hu Hai plan to usurp the throne, there will inevitably be a great purge in the Chinese military. If I want to be invincible, I must have a choice. Now is the time to choose..."

"First, if you defect to Prince Hu Hai, once Your Majesty is buried in the future, Hu Hai will ascend the throne, you will definitely be respected. My Meng family will still be honored and prominent."

"Secondly, investigate Hu Hai's rebellion clearly. Regardless of whether Your Majesty has made a crown prince or not, as long as the support of Qinghe Hou, the Meng family can still be at ease and watch the situation and choose the opportunity to take action!"

"How can a real man do things like this? My Meng family is blessed by His Majesty. He has been loyal to the Qin Dynasty for generations. How can he betray the family for his family? If Hu Hai tried to usurp the throne, the Meng family would definitely not be able to follow him. Don't consider this first and second brother. If Your Majesty does not establish a crown prince, it will be the order of the eldest son Fusu ascends the throne. This is a legitimate reason..." Meng Tian shook his head.

"Brother, don't bother, I'm just a reasoning reason. Qinghe Hou already knows this, and it is naturally not very possible to defect to Hu Hai. In order to find out the movements of Hu Hai and Zhao Hai, Qinghe Hou specially held a courtesan competition, putting two actors into Chunfang Garden, and using Zhao Hai to contact the ministers and civil and military officials to find out some news. As the supervisor of Chunfang Garden, the fourth brother can easily send out the inquiry. At this time, the fourth brother must have had some changes..."

"So that's it. Since you have made an agreement with Qinghe Hou, my brother won't ask, so you can do it yourself!"

"Don't worry, brother, I must be cautious!"

Just as the two brothers were talking, the old housekeeper came hurriedly with a middle-aged man about 40 years old. Although the sky was dark, it was still obvious that the man was somewhat similar to Meng Yi and Meng Tian with the glass lamp hanging outside the pavilion.

"I have met two brothers!" After entering the pavilion, the man bowed respectfully to Meng Yi and Meng Tian.

"The fourth brother doesn't need to be polite. Why did he come in a hurry so late? What happened to Chunfang Garden?" Meng Yi asked after a simple greeting.

"Second brother, today you and Di Daohou and others left after a banquet in Chunfang Garden. Di Daohou was left alone by Jiancheng Hou and then took it to the chess and card room to play. They did not leave until the middle of Xu. Lin Xian'er privately told me that Jiancheng Hou and Di Daohou had 3,000 gambling funds, Di Daohou won more than 10,000 yuan in the end. Marquis Wucheng invited him to fight another day, and said that he would go hunting outside the city together..."

After listening to it, Meng Tian and Meng Yi looked at each other. Under the faint light of stars and moon, it was obvious that both of them were very serious.

"I already know this. The fourth brother should go back quickly to avoid being suspicious. Don't be too close to Lin Xian'er on weekdays!"

"Yes, I'll take my leave!" The man came and went quickly, and there were only two or three words in front and back.

"Brother, Zhao Hai is indeed secretly trying to win over many princes, princes, ministers, civil and military officials. Li Xin just returned to the capital, so he couldn't wait to start to win over. According to my private contact, not only are the orders of the Inner Shifu, Qi Dang, the Ministry of Personnel, Shen Gongyan, Tongwu Wang Li, but also the Marquis of Wenjing Yao Cuo, Changwu Zhao Cheng, the Five Doctors Zhao Ying, and the Five Doctors Yang Mu..." Meng Yi said while shaking the palm-leaf fan hard, as if he suddenly became hot.

"It seems that the Queen of Qinghe is good to speculate. Zhao Hai's rebellion has already emerged. Marquis Wucheng was dismissed from office and was at home. Although he was not in the army, many generals in the army and even many civil and military officials in the court were close to him. A large number of trusted generals in Wang Jian and Wang Ben were all working in the two military camps in the northwest. Li Xin is now neglected by His Majesty for enamel equipment, and he is naturally depressed. If Zhao Hai devoted his favor to his money and interests, maybe Li Xin would surrender secretly. In addition, so many princes, princes and ministers were involved, it was quite difficult to control..." Meng Tian thought about it and felt that this matter was also difficult to control.

"If we could find out what Hu Hai took away from Zhao Gao's mansion, this matter might be easy to control, but the palace is very cautious and I really can't do it!" Meng Yi shook his head and sat back on the rocking chair, lying on his back, shaking gently and sighing.

"I know what, so what if I don't know. Hu Hai is a young man, and the palace is so big, it is too simple to hide something. The Qinghe Hou is unwilling to inquire. Don't think about it. The current task is to suppress the Western Army's reselling enamel equipment. Besides, if he is dismissed from office and seized his title for his brother, Hu Hai and Zhao Hai will usurp the rebellion in the future. The chaotic court will make the Meng family even more helpless. Don't forget. Since the Qinghe Hou has already suspected that Zhao Hai and Hu Hai have made plans to rebel, he cannot explain to the emperor without any evidence, but there should be more arrangements for support in private, so we don't need to be too nervous. No matter which young man comes to power, the position of Qinghe Hou will be unshakable unless..." Meng Tian suddenly shook his face slightly.

"Unless what?" Meng Yi stopped shaking the palm-leaf fan.

"Unless Hu Hai and Zhao Hai plan to be unfavorable to the Hou of Qinghe!" Meng Tian slowly said this sentence word by word, and then for no reason he made a move, feeling chill all over.

Meng Yi shaking his hand, slapped his palm and fell on his face. He suddenly sat up and looked at Meng Yi: "Brother, don't talk nonsense. Chen Xugui is the Grand Master and has the name of a young master. How dare Hu Hai?"

"Hmph, why don't you dare? Since ancient times, the royal family has fought for the crown prince and used all kinds of methods to do everything. Although the Queen of Qinghe was a disciple of the immortal family, he himself admitted that it was just Taiyi Immortal Lord who dreamed of giving heavenly books, and he was still the body of an ordinary person. Could it be that the second brother forgot the Hangu Pass that happened, and the Ji brothers almost killed him. If it weren't for the Jiang family's daughter blocking the arrows for him, I'm afraid that the Qin Dynasty would have lost the title of Queen of Qinghe!" Meng Tian stroked his beard and spoke in a cold voice.

Meng Yi sat blankly for a long time before coming to his senses. After pondering for a long time, he nodded: "Brother, this speculation makes some sense, no wonder... No wonder Qinghe Hou gritted his teeth every time he mentioned Hu Hai, repeatedly bewitched us about the harm of Hu Hai's ascension. It must be that he had calculated that Hu Hai would be unfavorable to him after he ascended the throne, so he urged us to deal with Hu Hai together..."

"You think too simple. Hu Hai's ascending the throne may be unfavorable to the Marquis of Qinghe, but the Marquis of Qinghe is definitely not worried about this reason. It is because he is worried that all the prosperous times he has created after Hu Hai ascended the throne will be destroyed. The Marquis of Qinghe needs a respectful and gentle king to ascend the throne, not a person like Hu Hai who is ill-intentioned. According to my understanding of the Marquis of Qinghe, even if Hu Hai succeeds in ascending the throne, he will definitely have a backup plan to pull him off the throne of the emperor. However, the cost of doing so is too high, which will cause huge turmoil in the court and the people, and will also affect his reputation in the court and the people..."

"Oh~" Meng Yi lay down again, "As strong as Li Si, they all failed in his hands. I always claimed that I was still clear-headed, but I could not see through him. The rapid changes in Daqin now made me dizzy. I really don't know what he wanted Daqin to become in the end. Compared with him, all the civil and military officials in the court were like fools!"

"Some things don't need to be too smart, just watch them on the wall. The more you participate, the greater the risk you will naturally bear. Since you know that the Qinghe Hou will have a fight with Zhao Hai and Hu Hai, as long as the Meng family does not participate too deeply, they will definitely be invincible in the future. Let's give up today and go back to the house for rest for my brother. In the past two days, it's better to organize the memorial on the military system reform as soon as possible..." Meng Tian stood up and waved his palm fan and walked out of the pavilion, floating away under the dark night.

"Watch on the wall...how to watch on the wall...ah..."

Meng Yi lay on the rocking chair and sighed. Unlike his brother who has been fighting abroad for many years, he has been in Xianyang for a long time and knows how smart and cunning his son-in-law is. Since he decided to deal with Hu Hai, how could he allow Meng's clever sword to be used without pulling out.

Hiding it seems that it is not the habit of this thief son-in-law.

Since becoming the Left Prime Minister in recent years, this son-in-law's aura has become increasingly prosperous. Now he has a title of Grand Tutor, and his status is unshakable. He sat high in the court next to the First Emperor and looked down at the civil and military officials in the court. Even Meng Yi felt a little worried and cautious when talking to Chen Xu now.

Therefore, it is unlikely that Montessori wants to watch it on the wall, but it is a fisherman who fights against the snipe and clams and waits for profit.

As a tycoon in the court, there are not many choices in many things. It is necessary to take sides. Between Chen Xu and Hu Hai, the Montessori must have a clear support object.

And Meng Tian was right. Since Chen Xu had discovered the movements of Zhao Hai and Hu Hai, there must be more secret moves. Lin Xian'er undercover Chun Fangyuan is just the most superficial thing, and deeper methods should have already begun to be planned and arranged.

"Oh, I'm really thinking too much..."

Meng Yi sighed again, feeling that instead of worrying about the future of this thief son-in-law, it is better to worry more about the crisis Montessor is facing now.
