"Hmph, now I know, you have a plan, but Zhao Hai and others are not Qinghous, they are born with the halo of royal family. They are much easier to operate than those of us, the foreign ministers who seem to be of high status and powerful status. The inner courtyard of the palace is completely unstoppable. At most, we can only ask for some information. If we want to control it, it is far inferior to the royal family. Moreover, they have been planning for this matter for many years, and the current forces are already very large..."

"We cannot master the imperial guards of the Lieutenant and the Weiwei Palace, and the Xuanwu Guard cannot intervene even more. If the Xuanwu Guard commander Zhao Yue agreed with the edict in Hu Hai, he would definitely regard it as a new emperor and protect it. Then there will be a large number of important officials, including the Duke of Dangshen and Yan, and the assistants of Qi Dangshen, and the assistants of the throne, they can ascend the throne with justification, and then what you and I do will be the real monarch-killing usurpation of the throne!"

Meng Yi looked at Chen Xu straight, "You used a book to warn me to pull the Montessor into the trap. Now the situation is getting more and more complicated. If there are three or two shorts in my Montessor in the future, I will not forgive you if I am the first one!"

Chen Xu curled his lips and continued to drink tea with the tea cup: "Don't worry, my son-in-law will definitely not let Hu Hai succeed. Even if it is successful, the crime of regicide will be borne by the son-in-law. It will never involve you, Mengshi. But do you know that if I had not appeared, you and the Marquis of Jingwu might have fallen to the ground now. I told you about the warning of the Heavenly Book. In recent years, I tried my best to move to Zhao Gao and defeat Li Si, and finally reversed the world and gave Your Majesty a glimmer of hope. Finally, I have a stable control situation today. Although Your Majesty is in an urgent condition, the great disaster predicted by the Heavenly Book has been passed, otherwise this sand dune will be the place where Your Majesty collapses. If the news of Your Majesty's sand dune collapses back to Xianyang, you will know the consequences..."

Chen Xu also looked at Meng Yi straight.

"The consequence is that Hu Hai will definitely take action in advance. First, they will get rid of you. Then they will send an edict to eliminate Jingwu Hou in the Western Army. Once you and Jingwu Hou are gone, and Feng Xiang is seriously ill, who else will resist Hu Hai's power in the court? I am still outside and have not returned. They have enough time to arrange everything to put me in vain. At that time, even if I come back, I can only sigh..."

Meng Yi's face became darker and darker. Finally, he leaned on the back of the chair with a depressed expression and nodded: "Indeed, if Your Majesty collapsed on the road, this would be the case in the capital. Now Your Majesty returns to the capital alive, so he naturally gives us some time to deal with it. But the situation is very critical at the moment. You only ask my brother to be prepared for the civil strife in Hu Hai, but he has never deployed forces in Xianyang City. Once Hu Hai suddenly rebelled, the capital will inevitably lose control!"

"Who said I didn't make any arrangements? My son-in-law has secretly concealed the 100,000 troops in advance. Hu Hai will definitely not succeed!" Chen Xu continued to drink tea slowly.

"A hundred thousand army..." Meng Yi shook his hands and poured his legs into his trousers.

"Um!"

"Don't fool me. There are so many people entering and leaving Xianyang every day, and Xianyang City is just that big. When and where can we ambush 100,000 soldiers?" Meng Yi came back to his senses and rolled his eyes.

"This matter cannot be said for the time being. The son-in-law can only tell his father-in-law not to panic. By the way, what happened to my uncle when he set out last time?" Chen Xu remembered something.

"It has been done. All 200 gliders have been transported to the Montessor Farm near the Ximen Gate of Xianyang to hide, and the soldiers are well trained. Last time, I said, "I don't know what this kind of playful thing is of use except for spending money?" Meng Yi shook his face with distress for a few times.

"It's just a matter of precaution. If something happens to His Majesty in the middle of the night and Lu Xiao is unreliable, will my father-in-law be alone in the city then?"

"Why is it me alone? At such an emergency, don't you live in the city?" Meng Yi put down his teacup and widened his eyes.

"Hehe, my son-in-law's family is outside the city, and living alone in the city is too cold and lonely..."

Meng Yi stared at Chen Xu with a dark face for a long time and nodded slightly, "I have been tired of living in the city recently. It seems that I can move to a different courtyard tomorrow!"

Chen Xu:...

An hour later, Chen Xu came out of Mengyi's mansion and drove out of the gate of Mengyi's mansion. Chen Xu turned around and looked at his father-in-law who was standing in front of the living room with his hands on his face. His face was so thrusting that he couldn't stop.

Regarding Hu Hai’s usurpation of the throne, we can no longer expect more help from Montessus. It’s enough not to cause trouble at that time.

At least after quelling the civil strife of Hu and Hai, the Montessus will be a huge helper to stabilize the dynasty.

Moreover, he also needs the Montessus’s huge reputation and influence in both the military and political circles. Otherwise, he, the Left Prime Minister and Qinghou of the newly rising empire, would be unable to hear the enemy alone, or he would be in a hurry at that time, and some bad things would have to be dealt with.

First of all, Meng Yi was deeply trusted by Emperor First Emperor. Not only did he hand over the task of supervising all officials in the world, but he was also a must-have pet every time he toured... Well, a favorite minister, the royal family and the court had to discuss many important matters with Meng Yi, and entering and leaving the palace was common. Before Chen Xu appeared, Emperor First Emperor was closer to Meng Yi than Li Si.

And now that Wang Jian and Wang Ben died one after another, the Marquis of Jingwu Meng Tian has become the mainstay of the Qin army. No matter how old, seniority or military merits are, Chen Xu wants to quell the civil strife after killing Hu Hai, it is not enough without the strong support of the military.

But what Chen Xu gained after ten years of official career was not the power of the court, but the huge influence of the people.

In fact, with the old families like Meng Yi, Feng Quji, Meng Tian and other old families and Qinghous, Chen Xu's power in the military and political circles is still not strong. He can control everything on weekdays, but he still relies on the support of Emperor First and the halo of an immortal disciple. Once Emperor First and Emperor Long's funeral, his biggest reliance will no longer exist.

In addition, some people may add fuel to the fire. Chen Xu may usurp the throne, which will cause the court officials to break up with Qinghou Xu. New nobles such as Chen Ping and Li Shun may surrender to Chen Xu, while a large number of old forces may turn to Hu Hai, and many others will watch the ending on the wall.

Because no matter which party has the upper hand, the court will eventually have to operate normally. A large number of official positions cannot be changed just by saying that they are replaced. Waiting for the dust to settle before operating slowly can still protect your official position and future.

So, this is politics.

All successes are accumulated bit by bit.

The so-called like-mindedness is just a common goal and interest.

Once the goal is achieved, many like-minded people will turn against each other.

Fortunately, Chen Xu himself did not have the ambition to be the emperor. Otherwise, if he defeated Hu Hai's group, Chen Xu himself was preparing to usurp the throne and ascend the throne, but I was afraid that the Meng family would instantly turn against him.

The Montessori could spare no effort to help Chen Xu for the safety of the Qin Dynasty and the safety of his family, and even took huge risks to kill Hu Hai.

But Chen Xu will never be allowed to overthrow the rule of the royal family.

This is their loyalty to the Qin Dynasty and the First Emperor.

...

Horse hooves gallop along the flat cement pavement.

It was already afternoon.

The climate in the northwest is very different from that in the southeast. The mountains and fields are yellow and dry. After harvesting, the farmlands are exposed in patches of yellow wheat stubble and tall haystacks.

Although it was a nice and refreshing weather in autumn, Chen Xu pinched his chin and looked at the scenery flying past the car window, and he always felt restless in his heart.

It has been the end of September since I left in early March, and it has been half a year.

In the eyes of others, this half year is just a trip with the First Emperor, but for him, every day is like torment.

Because he knew history, he was worried all the way, fearing that the First Emperor would die suddenly. Because he was traveling abroad, the capital could not control it. Once the news came back to Xianyang, it would be easier for Zhao Hai and others to take action in advance.

Although this time, the tide was turned around and the smooth return of the living First Emperor to Xianyang, it did not change the plan of Hu Hai's group to usurp the throne at all, and it was even possible that it would be in a hurry to jump over the wall.

After just getting in touch with Meng Yi, Zhao Hai and others have actually become more active in the past six months or more. Qinghe Garden is full of traffic every day, and everyone is in the process of official and ministers.

In addition, Wang Li used a bitter plan to stay in Xianyang, Feng Qu was seriously ill, and Wang Yu, the commander of the Weiwei Office, died of illness and Bai Zhen served as the commander. Everything was shown. Hu Hai and Zhao Hai's group usurped the throne more and more urgently, and the preparations were made more and more.

The carriage was getting closer and closer to Qinghe Villa, and Chen Xu's face became more and more serious. Less than a hundred feet away from the villa gate, Chen Xu suddenly patted the window and ordered him to turn around and go to the experimental factory of the Academy of Sciences first.

"Husband"

"Where are you going, Husband?"

Shui Qingrou Ying Shi Meng Wan Fan Caiying sisters, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and hundreds of people from the entire Marquis' mansion had already been fully equipped with the guards, and they were all dressed neatly at the gate of the other courtyard.

But when Chen Xu's carriage was about to reach the door of his house, he suddenly turned around and hurried away, which made the marquis' mansion confused, and the group of wives and concubines were even more anxious and at a loss.

"Dad~" Chen Xi and Chen Qiuyue broke free from their mother's hand and chased them along the road.

"Go and call Xi'er and Qiuyue back. My husband must have something urgent. The housekeeper arranged for someone to chase him and ask. Everyone will go back first. Don't go out before your husband comes back!"

"Yes, madam!" Under Shui's gentle instructions, the old housekeeper quickly arranged two guards to chase after him.

Looking at the galloping guard, a hint of worry and solemnity appeared on Shui Gengrou's beautiful cheeks.

She doesn't like to dress up, but she still carefully dressed up today. She wore a slim dress, combed her hairstyle, rouge, and even drew her eyebrows in the mirror.

Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. A sixteen-year-old girl has now become a twenty-six-year-old woman. Although she is still as beautiful as a beauty, only she herself knows that the most beautiful years of youth for women are no longer there. They are already at the age when outsiders think that people are old and deteriorating.

Moreover, my husband went home for half a year, and the deep expectation and attachment in his heart also made her want to give her the most beautiful meeting.

Ying Shi, Meng Wan and Fan Caiying and others were the same. When they learned that the First Emperor's parade team had returned to the capital, they had already begun to arrange family banquets and dress up carefully. However, after waiting for a few hours, the husband suddenly turned around and left as soon as he reached the doorstep.

Surprise and excitement suddenly turn into loss and worry.

The two guards quickly returned and brought Chen Xu's message back, asking their family not to worry. If there is any urgent matter, they should go to the factory of the Academy of Sciences and return at most an hour.

"Is the Marquis in good health?"

“Are you thinner?”

After the guard reported the report, a group of women still surrounded and asked. After learning that Chen Xu seemed to be fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around. Then he ordered the servants to boil water and prepare hot bath soup and clothes, and prepare to welcome Chen Xu home later.
