The sun sets, and the lights in Xianyang City, which had been busy for a day, are blooming again, entering a lively and relaxed nightlife.

At the end of Shen time.

A luxurious four-wheeled carriage drove into Chunfang Garden. After the carriage stopped, Liu Yao, the Minister of Revenue, got off the carriage in casual clothes and a fox fur hat, wrapped in gray cloaks.

"Does Lord Liu make an appointment?"" A young man with a steward came forward to greet him.

"I have made an appointment with Director Xiang yesterday, Haitang Pavilion, I'll go by myself!" Liu Yao walked straight to the backyard with a beautiful gift box with a happy face.

Liu Yao, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is the fourth-rank chief official, and is definitely of a high position and powerful position. His family is next to the Women's Academy. In order to make chicken feather shuttlecocks, a group of chicken thieves almost pulled out all the feathers of a group of cockfighting he raised. He was so angry that he almost vomited three liters of blood. However, facing the great god Qinghehou behind the Women's Academy, he had to swallow this anger. Later... Later... Chen Xu became more and more powerful, and his seat in the court became higher and higher. So Mr. Liu's anger completely calmed down. Every time he saw Chen Xu, he flattered without any moral integrity.

There was no such thing as Chen Xu came to him to apologize because of the matter of sucking chicken feathers, and invited him to have a meal in Qinghe Garden. This meal also made many princes, princes, and ministers envious.

The day before yesterday, he wanted Lin Xian'er, the chief flower in Chunfang Garden, to accompany him to drink, but Lin Xian'er's identity is not ordinary, and Chunfang Garden is different from other Quyuan restaurants that can be regarded as a prestigious official position, because he can't afford to fight for Lin Xian'er's Jiancheng Hou or Qinghe Hou. He can't afford to offend many nobles who come and go to Chunfang Garden. Even the powerless and powerless nobles have their own complicated relationships behind them. If you offend one, you may have to wear a lot of small shoes in the future.

However, after all, he is a fourth-rank official in real power. Chunfangyuan still needs to meet this kind of demand that is not too outstanding. Moreover, most of the princes, princes, nobles and wealthy people who come to Chunfangyuan to play are for Lin Xian'er's appearance and singing and dancing. So Meng Hao, the director of the Quyuan, personally arranged for Lin Xian'er to accompany him tonight. As soon as the sky was dark, Liu Yao couldn't wait to come.

At this time, luxury cars and horses came one after another in Chunfang Garden. Men of all kinds, wearing brocade robes and gorgeous clothes or fur cloaks came one after another, and headed to the various halls of Quyuan Garden with various welcomes and greetings. The noise and singing and dancing gradually sounded from all directions of the garden. The entire Chunfang Garden was as usual, and soon entered the lively evening entertainment time.

Shortly after Liu Yao entered Haitang Pavilion, Lin Xian'er, wearing a colorful skirt and wrapped in a snow fox cloak, brought two maids and a manager in to come in.

Meng Hao, who was talking and laughing with Liu Yao, saw it, stood up and reminded Lin Xianer to give a few words before leaving. Lin Xianer was like receiving princes and princes in the past. After preparing briefly, he performed musical instruments and dances for Liu Yao to entertain. Among the ding-dong music and light singing and dancing, the room quickly became quiet, and Liu Yao's applause and cheering sounds from time to time.

Two minutes later, until Meng Hao appeared again, a young servant guarding outside the door left and came to a separate attic deep in the yard.

It was very quiet, with only one lonely lantern swaying slightly in the cold night wind, and several warriors holding swords patrolling back and forth. In the attic, a room covered with thick blankets was not bright. Jiancheng Hou Zhao Hai, Prince Hu Hai, Changwu Hou Zhao Cheng and a young scholar of twenty-seven or eight years old were gathering together to talk. Apart from tea and snacks, there were neither singers nor dancers nor servants to serve. The situation in the room and the excitement of the entire Chunfang Garden were extremely cold and weird.

"Tu tuk tuk" knocked on the door, and the four of them stopped talking, and Zhao Hai asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Marquis, Xiao Liu is here!" The voice of the guard guards sounded outside the door.

"Let him come in!" Zhao Hai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Cruff~" With a low voice, the door was pushed open. The young man who had just come from Haitang Pavilion walked into the room, turned around and closed the door carefully before walking to Zhao Hai, Hu Hai and others.

"How about it, can Lin Xian'er have abnormal communication with Liu Yao?" Zhao Hai asked.

"When I returned to the Marquis, Liu Yao was indeed here to listen to the music. After two moments of monitoring, Miss Xian'er kept performing in the hall, and there was no much communication except pouring wine!" The young man answered respectfully.

"Did Meng Hao do something abnormal?" Zhao Hai asked again.

"The subordinates did not find out. Manager Meng was visiting the flower houses in Quyuan as usual, and welcomed and sent guests and arranged guests. There was no suspicious thing!" the young man replied.

"I understand. You go down first and continue to monitor. If you find any doubts, you must report them as soon as possible!"

"Yes, my subordinates took their leave!" The young man quickly left the room.

"Is the emperor's uncle too sensitive? I think there is nothing wrong with Miss Xian'er..." Hu Hailiu said in a low voice in confusion.

"At the moment, nothing can be careless. Benhou sent someone to inquire about Lin Xian'er's background. It seems that there is no problem. However, I secretly observed and found that there were occasional suspicious things about him. Moreover, his belongings were not decided. I had another bet with Qinghe Hou. If Lin Xian'er was won by him, it might reveal some of our secrets. This is also the reason why I knew that she had no problem with her, but still refused to trust her too much!" Zhao Hai waved his hand with a serious expression and interrupted Hu Hai's words.

"Why did the fifth brother still put Lin Xian'er in the chess and card room? There are many people in the chess and card room that are closely related to our future achievements!" Changwu Hou Zhao Cheng frowned and spoke.

"Lin Xian'er was the first dealer to learn how to stumble. Many guests who came to gambling came for her, not to mention that the chess and card room is just a place where we win over our party. There is nothing suspicious about it. Even Your Majesty has never discovered it. There is no need to worry. The reason why I have to monitor Lin Xian'er and even Meng Hao recently is because Qinghe Hou is back. You all know that the biggest obstacle to whether we can accomplish things is not the emperor, but Qinghe Hou..."

There was an incomparable silence in the room, and only the sound of the heart pounding was heard.

For all those who participated in the usurpation plan, Qinghe Hou was like a mountain pressing on everyone's heart, and it was so heavy that it could not breathe whenever it was thought of.

"Meng Tian and Meng Yi are both senior ministers, and they all have close contacts with Chen Xu. In the future, if Haier wants to control the court, except for the Qinghe Hou, the two brothers must be eliminated in advance, otherwise they may not be supported by civil and military officials. Meng Hao is now the supervisor of Chunfangyuan. Although he is doing things to welcome and send off and has not contacted their secrets, he is afraid that Meng Yi will be suspicious, so he must be careful. If he really discovers the secret of us, he must be killed to silence him!" Zhao Hai clenched his fist and gently smashed the desk to see the remaining three people.

"What the Marquis said is that those who accomplish great things do not care about the details. Meng Hao is indeed very careful. Since the opening of Chunfang Garden, Meng Yi, as a shareholder, has hardly come to have a banquet or has no close contact with Marquis and others. All of them are in charge of Meng Hao. I am afraid he does not want to be involved in the crime of a foreign relative making friends with the royal family. It can be seen that he is extremely careful!" The young scholar next to him nodded seriously.

"Well, since Lin Xian'er, Meng Hao and others have nothing to do with suspicion, let's put it aside for now. Lu Xiao lost more than 20,000 yuan today, and it is estimated that the family's money has almost been lost. As long as I continue to force and seduce it, maybe he will completely surrender. With Lu Xiao's support, my chances of success will be greater in the future!" Zhao Chuang felt that Zhao Hai was spending his kung fu on Lin Xian'er, Meng Hao, and Liu Yao and other officials who were drinking.

Liu Yao was just a fourth-rank official, and his personality was a little changed. These people were basically of no help to what they planned. At present, their main targets were officials and nobles with very special status in the military and political circles, such as Shen Gongyan, the Ministry of Personnel Order Qi Dang, and the Wucheng Marquis Wang Li. In addition to some idle but mixed family forces, Lu Xiao was the powerful minister they wanted to win over the most.

Once they controlled the fourth battalion of the capital, plus the inner historian Qi Dang, they could say that they had completely controlled all the places in Xianyang except the Kaihuang Palace.

The palace is under the management of the Imperial Guard, but it is not impossible to pry it open. Bai Zhen, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, is Wang Li's cousin. The two have grown up together since childhood. As long as Wang Li comes forward, and with the temptation to be a marquis in the future, Bai Zhen is 70 to 80% sure that he will surrender. In addition, Hu Hai grew up in the palace since childhood, and has a group of guards and palace eunuchs under his command. Recently, he made friends with Zhou Bo, the commander of the Yulin Guard who was guarding the east gate of the palace. Once all the plans are carefully planned, just wait for the time to arrive, the entire Xianyang will fall into their hands in an instant.

The only thing that makes people feel uneasy and unremoved is Chen Xu, the Marquis of Qinghe.

But things have come to this point, and everyone can only walk with longing with ambition. It is impossible to give up. At least many people who were enlisted by them have been blinded by the identity of future princes. There are also Wang Li, who has a deep prejudice towards Chen Xu, who has strong support. The pace of usurping the throne is like a galloping carriage. The coachman has begun to lose control and can only continue to drive along this road and continue to move forward. To be honest, Zhao Hai, who was once the most enthusiastic, is now frightened every day and has no confidence.

At present, Lu Xiao already knew their secret, but he did not fully agree, but he did not tell the emperor about it. He also accepted the license for the development of Yingzhou Silver Mine from them. All signs indicate that Lu Xiao is still struggling in his heart. The reason for his struggle is naturally because the future outcome of this game is not very predictable, but Lu Xiao's performance allowed Zhao Hai and others to see the dawn of victory.

Pulling Lu Xiao into the water was the idea of ​​the young scholars in the four-person group.

If Chen Xu were here, he would have recognized it at a glance, which was Zhang Liang who was fooled by him in Lushan.

Zhang Liang was later called the wise saint, who won a thousand miles away and was able to plan. In the history of the late Qin and Han dynasties, he had his own fans in every era. Regardless of whether he had obtained the legendary Taigong military strategy of Huangshi Gong, this person's IQ and ability were definitely the first row of the big bull in the Hall of Fame in Chinese history. Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen and others had to stand aside and dare not compare with him.

Chen Xu didn't know how Zhang Liang got into Zhao Hai's camp and became a confidant and decision-making center, but this time the series of operations to pull Lu Xiao into the water were all done by Zhang Liang.

Lu Xiao, the commander of the Imperial Army who was highly anticipated and loyal by the First Emperor, also embarked on a path of no return step by step under Zhang Liang's arrangement.

Although Lu Xiao has not yet fully entered the trap, he is basically at the end of his journey under Zhang Liang's plan. He either completely turned to Hu Hai's camp or told the First Emperor now. The ending is very clear, that is, to die together. Even if the Lu family can rely on the credit of Zhao Hai and Hu Hai and others to escape and die, the entire family will be moved three thousand miles away, serving as slaves and punished as ghost wages, and also face some invisible revenge. The death of the whole family is almost the only ending.

The people who offended Zhao Gao at the beginning died in this way by hundreds of people from several families.
