After everyone left, Chen Xu opened a bottle of Qinghe wine for Meng Yi and himself to fill a cup of each other and said with a smile: "Mr. Meng, my Qinghe restaurant is rich in dishes and mainly fried, with a small number of dishes and exquisite, so it adopts a shared meal system, so I designed this kind of round table, and everyone gathered to sit and talk while eating!"

After Chen Xu finished speaking, he reached out to break off a duck leg and put it on his plate, dipped it in a sauce and started to chew it.

In the morning, I ate two buns and a bowl of porridge. I sat in court for nearly two hours and listened to the process of the restructuring of the court. At this time, I was so hungry that I was almost out of reach.

You should know that at the age of fifteen, no matter how much you eat, you won’t feel full. You can eat seven or eight meals a day. You have almost never stopped snacks in the Marquis’ Mansion or the Academy of Sciences. But when you go to court, you can only hold on. Even if there is a braised chicken leg hidden in his sleeve, it is definitely not convenient to chew under the noses of Qin Shihuang and Li Si. That person is so embarrassing, and throwing Taiyi Immortal Lord.

Meng Yi had never eaten such a strong and fragrant roast duck, especially this secret sauce, which was dipped in some and tasted so fragrant that it was so numb and numb. Meng Yi swears that he had never eaten such delicious duck meat in his life for most of his life.

"Come on, Lord Meng, please try this braised elbow!" Chen Xu saw that Meng Yi was only eating one duck, and it was already a bit terrible, so he gently turned the turntable in the middle of the round table.

Ga! Seeing the table turning, Meng Yi almost poked a duck bone into his nostril with a trembling hand. After a long time of stunnedness, he put down the duck bone in his hand, and used his hand to pluck the disc to watch the table rotate continuously, with amazement on his face.

"Because the meals are rich in dishes, and in order to ensure that all diners can eat what they want, I designed this kind of rotating desktop. If Lord Meng needs it, I will ask the craftsman to help you make one and send it to the mansion. The family gathers together to have a meal. It is also a rare family joy. It is much more harmonious than eating in different meals..."

"Okay, thank you, Qinghehou. This round table is not only exquisitely designed, but also convenient to feed..." Meng Yi was already picking up a stewed soft pig's trotter with his hand and chewing it.

"Mr. Meng, and this sweet and sour pork rib is also good, it is not fat or thin, sweet and sweet..."

"Mr. Meng, this Mapo tofu is also delicious, fresh, fragrant and tender..."

Under Chen Xu's explanation, Meng Yi ate the beard and clothes, and he licked his fingers while eating. After more than twenty minutes, he burped and stopped and said with emotion: "Qinghe Hou is worthy of being a master of food. Every dish is a peerless delicacy. I have never eaten such a rich and delicious food. This table of dishes must be valuable!"

"It's not expensive, and if it's not counted as alcohol, it's only three to five thousand yuan!"

Meng Yi's eyebrows shook violently, Chen Xu wiped his mouth with a napkin and picked up the wine and said, "I originally said that I would invite Lord Meng to drink, but I just had to eat the food. Come and have a drink together!"

"Drinke together!" Meng Yi's face calmed down instantly. He covered his sleeves and drank the Qinghe wine in a tow in a gulp. After putting down the wine glass, he said: "Qinghe Marquis invites me to have a banquet today. If you have anything, just say it. I will naturally not refuse if I can help!"

As the saying goes, "With a short hand and a weak mouth, Meng Yi also knows that Chen Xu will not wait for him to treat him to dinner outside the court for no reason today.

Chen Xu filled the wine glasses of the two again and sat down and said, "Since Lord Meng is willing to help, Xu will no longer hide it. It is the thing he said just now. I want to resolve the grudge between me and Zhao Gao, so I need to ask Lord Meng for help!"

Meng Yi shook his head after a long time of silence and said, "It's hard. Zhao Gao is a royal family member and is highly valued by His Majesty. This time, the restructuring of the three provinces and six ministries can be seen that he serves as four nine ministers. Although he is not involved in military and political affairs, he is all important positions related to the royal family. He is in charge of sacrifices, chariots, royal families and daily offerings. These positions seem to be inconspicuous, but they are closely related to His Majesty's daily life. Moreover, his son Zhao Zhe is now an eunuch in the inner palace, in charge of hundreds of eunuchs in the inner palace.

Those who are eunuchs serve the emperor's concubines, princesses, and princesses. The father and son are close ministers inside and outside. They must be sure that they cannot move them. If Zhao Zhe uses the reason for communicating with bandits robbing summer grain, they may not be powerful enough, and there are too many people involved. The most important thing is that more than a year has passed. The officials in Wancheng have turned the matter into a real case, unless there is a person with enough weight to prove Zhao Gao!”

"You said you are the general?" Chen Xu asked calmly.

"Yes!" Meng Yi nodded, "This case was also handled by me at the beginning, and I don't know the inside story. Once I take action, I will be under great pressure. If I am not careful, I will lose my official position. Offending Zhao Gao is not a wise choice for me!"

After hearing this, Chen Xu was silent, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and then slowly picked up the food and ate it.

"Qinghe Marquis, it's not that I am unwilling to help, but it's not worth the loss for me. My Meng family has been favored by the Qin king for several generations, and Zhao Gao is also a royal family member. As long as Zhao Gao does not lose favor for a day, then he and Your Majesty will be one. I cannot do such a thing that is not very sure at the cost of the entire Meng family! I also advised Qinghe Marquis to say that it is not a wise move to oppose the royal family. In Your Majesty's eyes, the blood relationship that has the same lineage is much more reliable than that of us foreign tribes. The Shaofu Order Zhao Wei and the Ministry of Rites are all royal family members. Outsiders cannot get involved in the royal family. In fact, Qinghe doesn't have to be so cautious. With your current reputation and status, Zhao Gao will definitely not dare to touch you at all!" Meng Yi was soft-hearted and could not help but explain.

"It's a pity that the emperor's favor is probably because he feeds the dogs. If Lord Meng keeps thinking this, he will be too late to regret it one day!" Chen Xu put down his chopsticks and sighed and shook his head.

"Why did the Queen of Qinghe say this?" Meng Yi asked after being stunned for a long time.

"Master Meng, would you believe me if I said that Zhao Gao would plot against rebellion one day?" Chen Xu said, looking at Meng Yi's face.

"Bang~" Meng Yi's chopsticks fell onto the table, and his cheeks twisted, "Don't be suspicious about his own selfishness. If this is spread..."

"Haha, it's not that I've been suspicious, but that I've already obtained the evidence, otherwise I wouldn't have invited adults to come here for dinner. In fact, Zhao Gao is not just trying to usurp the rebellion, he also wants to kill all the civil and military officials in the court to control the Qin world alone, including you and me, and the left and right ministers!"

"Crash~" Meng Yi stood up in shock, and the bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses in front of him fell to the ground with a stuttering look on his face, saying in horror: "What is the evidence...where is the evidence?"

"When Meng Yun went to Qinghe Town to snatch papermaking, it was not Ao Ping, so Lord Meng should have some doubts about this matter, right?" Chen Xu said lightly.

After a long time, Meng Yi nodded with a ugly expression and said, "Yes, I do suspect that it was Zhao Gao's actions, but I also brought down Ao Ping and Shang Tu. This lesson is enough for him. If he is wise, he shouldn't mess with me again!"

"Haha, there is an idea in the world called wishful thinking. Lord Meng has lived in the court for a long time, which can be said to be a scheming. As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge for ten years, and a villain holds revenge from morning to night. Xu, but I heard that the hatred between you and Zhao Gao is much greater than the hatred between me and him, right!"

Meng Yi was silent again.

After a full minute, he sighed: "Yes, when Zhao Gao committed a serious crime, His Majesty handed him over to me for interrogation. Therefore, I sentenced him to death according to the Qin law. But later when he was about to be executed, His Majesty softened his heart and released him. Zhao Gao was not dead, so he naturally hated me to the core. Eight years have passed, and Zhao Gao has no other news to me. However, Zhao Gao is a narrow-minded person. Therefore, last time the dog son was bewitched to Qinghe Town to rob papermaking, I also secretly investigated. Although he had some doubts about Zhao Gao, there was no conclusive evidence, so I could only endure this matter for the time being."

"If I had conclusive physical evidence and personal evidence that could prove that the last incident was instructed by Zhao Gao, what would Lord Meng do?" Chen Xu looked at Meng Yi.

Meng Yi picked up the wine glass and took a few sips silently, and the room fell into silence for a long time.

"In the past, those who are good at fighting first were invincible, and wait for the enemy to win. The invincible lies in oneself, and the invincible lies in the enemy. Therefore, those who are good at fighting can do invincible lies in their own way, and cannot make the enemy win. Therefore, it is said: Victory can be known, but it cannot be done."

Looking at Chen Xu's confused expression, Meng Yi put down his wine glass and said, "This sentence is Sun Tzu's strategy of the Art of War, which tells the strategy of the enemy and us to deal with the military operations. My Meng family has been martial for generations. Although I am a member of the court, I am also a military profession. Now the secret waves in the court are strange like battlefields. Both civil and military officials are secretly accumulating strength. The military strategy says: If there are more temples, there are no more temples. In just over the past year, three nine ministers have been dismissed from the court. From Gao Ji to Yang Tong to Ao Ping, they are all old ministers entrenched in the court, especially Ao Ping, who is miserable and regretful..."

Strictly telling you! Ao Ping was trampled to death by the three tribes of Yi!

Chen Xu started drinking with a black head, not wanting to talk to a hypocrite like Meng Yi.

"Haha, does the Marquis of Qinghe think that I killed the three tribes of Aoping and pretended to be a very villain?" Meng Yi said with a smile.

Just know! Chen Xu curled his lips and drank without saying anything.

All civil and military officials in the court were hypocrites and villains.

This is an experience summarized from the historical civilization of two thousand years later. The higher the position and the more powerful he is, the more he is, he is in a sack, beats up the stick, throws blood, and takes the opportunity to kill his opponents who are disagreeing with his own political views. He is so thief who can't climb up for the rest of his life or he will be trampled to death.
