"Report, Master, there are people who claim to be Han Xin coming to visit!"

Just as Meng Tian and Meng Yi were talking, a manager hurriedly came to report.

"What are he doing?" Meng Tian and Meng Yi stood up at the same time, their faces confused. After a moment, Meng Yi waved his hand and said, "Please go to the living room and prepare tea and entertain you. My brother and I will arrive later!"

"Yes!" The manager retreated, Meng Tian and Meng Tian also went back to their rooms to change clothes and clean up. A quarter of an hour later, they came to the living room in the front yard and saw Han Xin sitting in the living room drinking tea and waiting.

"My younger brother Han Xin pays homage to Marquis Jingwu and to Dr. Meng!" Seeing two big bosses of the dynasty coming together, Han Xin quickly stood up and bowed.

"Haha, my dear nephew doesn't need much politeness, please sit down!" Meng Tian and Meng Yi bowed slightly and before they could sit down, Han Xin took out a sealed bamboo tube from his pocket and put it on the coffee table in front of Meng Tian and said, "I am here to offer tea this time. My brother also asked me to bring back a secret letter to Marquis Jingwu, and I especially remind Marquis Jingwu to burn it after reading it and not show it to others!"

Meng Tian and Meng Yi were even more surprised. After looking at the bamboo tube as thick as a finger together for a while, Meng Tian slowly picked up the bamboo tube with a serious expression, looked through the seal on it and handed it to Meng Yi. Meng Yi also looked at it for a few seconds and handed it to Meng Tian and said, "No, it's Qinghe Hou's private video."

Meng Tian hesitated for a moment and twisted his hands gently, and the mud seal was smashed with a slight click. Under Meng Yi's attention, Meng Tian poured out a roll of white paper from the bamboo tube, opened it, and glanced slightly and his face changed drastically.

"Brother, what is Qinghe Hou saying?" Meng Yi couldn't help asking.

Meng Tian was about to speak, but instantly shook his head and said, "The secret message from Hou Qinghe cannot be revealed. I can't say it for the time being, come and get the fire candle!"

"Master, wait!" A servant in the hall replied, and soon came over with a lit glass candle. Meng Tian put the letter on the candle lamp to light it. Seeing the white paper burning and turning into ashes, he relaxed and said to Han Xin, "Please ask the nephew to reply to the Marquis of Qinghe. I will consider what I said carefully and will never reveal a word!"

"That's great, I won't bother you anymore, say goodbye!" Han Xin also breathed a sigh of relief and bowed his farewell.

"Why don't you stay for a banquet before leaving? I still have some questions about Ziyun Fairy Tea?" Meng Yi stood up and tried to stay.

"Doctor Meng forgives his crime. I don't know what happened to his brother going to Mount Lu. Even the guards and servants who followed him to the mountain stayed at the mountainside and never went to Senior Chi Songzi's cave, so I couldn't answer Doctor Meng's question, but there were indeed only fifty tubes of tea!" Han Xin replied with a wry smile.

"Oh, there's so little tea, but it's a pity!" Meng Yi shook his head helplessly. After Han Xin left, he sat down and looked at Meng Tian and said, "What did the Queen Qinghe said to his brother? Can't you really tell me?"

"It's not that I can't talk about it, it's because my brother hasn't made up his mind yet. He asked to burn the letter to burn it, but it's just not to leave any handle. Second brother should not ask about this matter first. When I think about it, I will naturally tell you. Also, you can arrange someone to call Yun'er back. This time I will take him to the Western Army barracks. According to his title, I can be a lieutenant now. Then once the military system reform begins, I can also get a military position for him in the army. I have been a military general for generations, and I have only one man in the direct line. How can I fall into depravity!"

"What my brother said is that my original intention is the same. However, after the Western Army's reselling enamel equipment was exposed, I was afraid that my brother would be affected, so I would also get involved and punished. Therefore, I have not made any arrangements. Since my brother thinks so, it is of course the best!"

Meng Yi nodded, and then ordered his servants to find Meng Yun. A fifth-rank official would be transferred to the military camp and many procedures were required, but this kind of thing was just a few words for Meng Yi.

Meng Yun hurriedly came back with his servant and heard the news, and immediately felt like he was wailing: "Dad, the princess is about to give birth, and she will definitely give birth to Lin'er this time. Do you want me to go to the military camp at this time?"

"Hmph, if you want to go, you go. How could I be a greedy man in the Meng family? Your great-grandfather and grandfather are both famous generals in the world. Why is it your turn to be a wine bag? My husband's legitimate grandson will naturally take good care of him. What are you worried about? Besides, your concubine has never seen you so nervous when she gave birth to two children and one daughter!" Meng Yi snorted coldly.

"Dad, that's different. The princess is the main wife. She will be the legitimate son when she is born. She will definitely inherit my title in the future..."

"Haha, do you want to laugh to death? You only know how to eat, drink and have fun every day, so how can you get a title? Besides, Your Majesty will soon implement the military system reform. No military officer will be granted titles. The ninth-level duke on your body will probably turn into nothing. You will only be a civil servant without titles in the future. I want to see how my grandson inherits your title in the future!"

"Ah?" Meng Yun opened his mouth like lightning. He stayed for a long time before he came to his senses and said anxiously: "Dad, you... you didn't lie to me. The emperor really wants to abolish the title?"

"This matter is already eight or nine out of ten. Today, your uncle has written to the court to implement the reform of the military system. Your Majesty has agreed. It is just a matter of details that need to be discussed. Since ancient times, I, the Qin Dynasty, have been awarded a title for military merits. You have been wandering all day long. With some clever tricks in the past, you have been awarded a title with a name but a name without real title. This title is just a false reputation. If the reform of the military system begins, your title will be gone in an instant. If you want to keep this title, you must go to the military camp to serve. Once the new military title decree is implemented, your title can become a real title. This is the only opportunity!" Meng Yi looked at his son who was already old and said earnestly.

"Then... won't Qi Erlang and Gao Sanlang all have no titles?" Meng Yun asked stutterly.

"Of course, this military system reform began in Qinghe Hou, and I had already talked with me. Now that the military system is too ill, the military morale has become unstable. Once the military system is reformed, the first thing to do is to evaluate military merits and award medals. In order to inspire military morale and fighting spirit, military merit evaluation will introduce daily training, competitions, military arts and other contents. Therefore, in the future, military merit evaluation does not necessarily have to go to the battlefield to fight to the death. As long as you work hard in the military camp, it is not impossible to obtain a high title in the future. Moreover, this reform will separate the military and political affairs, and the military rank is independent of the civilian official system. In the future, all civilian officials in the court and county will no longer rely on military merit rewards, but will completely merge with official positions, and arrange fiefs and fiefs according to the ninth rank. I am not clear about the specific details, but it is roughly like this..."

"Dad, didn't you just say that the reform of the military system was proposed by the uncle, why did you involve a sister-in-law? Could it be that you are afraid that Your Majesty will punish the uncle and want to take the sister-in-law to take the sister-in-law's back?" Meng Yun was confused and confused.

Meng Yi twitched a few times and clenched his fists tightly, but instantly sighed and let go of his fists and said, "Don't worry about this matter. You should go home and pack up your salutes and follow your uncle tomorrow!"

"Okay, I'll go now!" In order to keep his title, Meng Yun knew that his father would not fool him in this matter, so he obeyed the will and went home to prepare.

Looking at the son's departure, Meng Yi's black-skinned eyes were almost gone. After a long time, he sighed quietly and leaned on the back of the chair and felt weak all over.

A son-in-law is so stupid, but a son is as stupid as a piece of shit.

How could the difference between people be so big?

Meng Yi was puzzled, and the First Emperor in the palace was also puzzled.

At this time, he was holding a fiery red fruit the size of a finger in his hand, sitting in front of the window and looking carefully.

This fruit was found from the tea leaves sent by Chen Xu.

When the Zichen Palace was being called, several important officials were welcomed. The tea was taken out of the open bamboo tube that Han Xin took out.

However, when he finished his work, he ordered another pot of tea to be prepared to read Meng Tian’s memorial again, he found that the tea leaves poured out of the bamboo tube were mixed with such a fruit.

The fruit is red in color, like jade, with a slight sense of transparency, but if you look closely, you will find that there seems to be a layer of faint patterns on the surface.

This is obviously a fresh fruit.

Qin Shihuang was full of doubts and watched for a long time but still couldn't understand the key points.

I don’t know if it was Chen Xu who deliberately placed it inside or it fell into it accidentally when he opened the bamboo tube. Even after sniffing it, the fruit still had a refreshing fragrance.

Emperor Qin Shi's first emperor hesitated about this wild fruit with inexplicable origin. He had the urge to eat it, but naturally he was afraid that someone would secretly put it in on the road.

He was confident that Chen Xu would never harm him.

Even Han Xin wouldn't have too many problems.

The reason why Chen Xu arranged for Han Xin to send tea was naturally because Han Xin was a brother, which made him more relieved and at the same time reassuring the emperor. However, the servants who followed Han Xin to escort tea back could not guarantee that they would be fine.

In case it's toxic...

After hesitating for a long time, the First Emperor forced himself to resist the urge to eat and asked the palace servants to invite the imperial physician Zhou Jiong and the imperial physician Xu Fu.

Soon Zhou Jiong and Xu Fu came together, and the First Emperor took out the red fruit for Xu Fu and Zhou Jiong to watch.

"Your Majesty, this should be a kind of wild fruit in the mountains, but I have never seen it before!" Xu Fu said after reading it.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has never seen this fruit before. It should be just an ordinary wild fruit!" Zhou Jiong looked at it for a long time but couldn't tell it.

"Then is this fruit poisonous?" The First Emperor asked seriously.

"There are no toxic flowers, plants and fruits in the world. Only after tasting them can you tell them. I have never tasted them before, so I dare not answer your Majesty rashly. If your Majesty wants to know, I am willing to taste them!" Xu Fu bowed and replied.

"Your Majesty, what Doctor Xu said is right. Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs and identified five grains. Later, he left Shennong's herbs for the doctors. So far, there is a medical inheritance. Although we are familiar with many herbs, this kind of fruit is really unfamiliar, so we can only taste and distinguish according to Shennong's method. I am willing to try to solve your doubts!" ​​Zhou Jiong also nodded and agreed.

Looking at the finger-sized fruit of the palm of his hand, and then looking at the two most important imperial physicians, the First Emperor hesitated slightly and shook his head and said, "Forget it, I just occasionally see it in the back garden, and I was curious and picked it back. How could the two dear ministers take risks because of trivial matters, so let's retreat for the time being!"

"Yes, I'm leaving!" Xu Fu and Zhou Jiong bowed and left Zichen Hall, and after leaving, he discussed in a low voice.

After looking at the red fruit several times again, the First Emperor still put it in the tea barrel and sealed it, and placed it on the bookshelf in front of his bed in the bedroom.

If you want to figure it out, you can only wait until Chen Xu returns to the capital to ask. If you ask around rashly, you will probably soon have many messy speculations.

This is just a very subtle thing, and Xu Fu and Zhou Jiong did not take it seriously. After all, it is midsummer now, and all kinds of wild flowers and fruits are everywhere. The flowers and plants in the imperial garden are flourishing, and it is not surprising that such a kind of wild fruit suddenly grows.
