Chapter 402 Hot Potatoes

At that time, Chen Xu was packing up and took a car to the factory outside the city under the escort of Yu Wuya and a group of guards.

Almost at the same time, Meng Yi also left the mansion with a bow and arrow with seven or eight escort chariots on his back, and soon came out of the north gate of Xianyang City as if he was going out to hunt.

The four gates of Xianyang City are crowded with people every day, with millions of people inside the city, and outside the city, there are also prosperous areas near Dachang'an. The palaces on both sides of the Wei River stretch for dozens of miles, and from a distance, they look like immortal palaces.

Since Shang Yang suggested that Qin move the capital from Yongcheng to Xianyang, Xianyang has become larger and larger. In addition to the Xianyang palace complex, there are also Zhangtai Palace and Chang'an Palace. Zhangtai Palace has been completed long ago, on the south bank of the Wei River. It is the place where the emperor and civil and military officials handle the government affairs. It is also the most lively and prosperous area in Xianyang. The story of Heshi Bi and the assassination of Qin between Jing Ke both took place in Zhangtai Palace, and many government offices in the court were in Zhangtai Palace.

Chang'an Palace is the fief of the Chang'an Jun Cheng's Palace. However, after Cheng's rebellion against Zhao State, Chang'an Palace has been empty. The Chang'an City in later generations was built on the basis of Chang'an Palace. According to Qin Shihuang's plan, there is also a larger Afang Palace, which is to connect several palaces such as Xianyang Palace, Zhangtai Palace, Qutai Palace, Chang'an Palace, etc., and finally form a huge palace group covering more than 300 miles. However, this plan has not begun yet, because the mission of the battle between the south and the north has not been completed, and Qin Shihuang is not foolish.

Therefore, although Xianyang and Chang'an are already full of palaces, they are actually not connected together. Therefore, the farmland and forests on both sides of the Wei River are also in large numbers.

After Chen Xu arrived at the factory, he did not go in, but waited at the door. Half an hour later, Meng Yi galloped over with seven or eight servants.

Because of the improvement of saddles and stirrups, these new horse harnesses have begun to become popular in Xianyang. There are now four saddle making workshops outside Xianyang City, producing a large number of civilian saddles for sale every day. There is even a workshop specializing in the market in the south of the city that specializes in installing horseshoes. Although steel is very in short supply, there are still people with great powers to get it, such as Qinghehou, because that workshop was opened by Qinghehou.

As for stirrups, they can be made of bronze, or even bamboo strips or vines and wood. I don’t have to use iron. Therefore, now, whether it is the horses Meng Yi rides or the horses on Chen Xu’s mansion, they are also equipped with saddles, stirrups and horseshoes. They run on the gravel-covered river beach, and the sounds can be heard from a distance.

After the two groups of people met, Chen Xu also abandoned his car and rode a horse, and only took Yu Wuya and Meng Yi to the west along the river.

Looking at the increasingly desolate road and a large forest closer and closer, Meng Yi's face became more and more weird. He rode his horse and couldn't help asking: "Qinghe Hou, it seems that there is an abandoned Hou Mansion in front of him?"

"Haha, it turns out that Lord Meng knew, right, Shang Qi was placed in this abandoned villa in Lao Ai by me!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Qinghe Hou is indeed cautious in doing things. The Changxin Hou Mansion has been abandoned for nearly twenty years. Because of Lao Ai, no official or official in Xianyang wanted it, so it has been vacant. Perhaps it has become corrupt, right?"

"Absolutely, many doors, windows, and beams have decayed. Some rooms have begun to collapse, but they are basically still intact. If you repair them a little, it will be a good villa!" Chen Xu nodded and asked curiously, "Mr. Meng is very familiar with Lao Ai?"

Meng Yi nodded and shook his head again: "I'm not familiar with her. Lao Ai was born in a lowly family. After being presented to the empress dowager by Lu Buwei, she lived in the harem in a quiet place. Later, the empress dowager became pregnant. In order not to arouse the emperor's suspicion, she moved to the old palace in Yongcheng and secretly gave birth to two sons. Lao Ai was also named Changxinhou, raising thousands of children and disciples. Her power became increasingly serious, and the conflict with Lu Buwei became increasingly deeper. Later, Lao Ai claimed to be a fake father and aroused the anger of His Majesty. Later, His Majesty went

When the ceremony of Yongcheng was held, Lao Ai tried to rebel. His Majesty secretly arranged for people to defeat him and captured him. The car was broken outside the Xianyang Palace. The three clans of Lao Ai were also killed. Later, Lu Buwei was demoted from Xianyang to be exiled to Shu. When these things happened, I was only twenty years old at that time, and I was just a lieutenant. I had no intersection with Lao Ai and Lu Buwei. However, I often saw Lao Ai's huge ceremonial warriors coming and going between Yongcheng and Xianyang, and I was envious at that time..."

The two rode their horses and said that Yu Wuya and several guards were around ten feet away, and soon arrived outside Lao Ai's villa. The two guards guarding the door rushed to meet him.

"Everyone is waiting outside!" Meng Yi gave an order after dismounting, and followed Chen Xu into this abandoned mansion.

Half an hour later, the two of them came out together and then left on horseback. The deserted mansion regained loneliness and tranquility.

Returning to the factory gate again, Meng Yi, who had never spoken all the way, looked at Chen Xu calmly and said, "Marty Qinghe, as long as Shang Qi is willing to come out to testify, I will definitely move Zhao Gao down. Are you really planning to protect Shang Qi?"

"Yes, Zhao Gao colluded with Shang Tu and Ao Ping to harm me. Now all the family is destroyed. The merchants have reached this point. If Shang Qi comes to court to prove Zhao Gao again, he will inevitably suffer the disaster of destroying the three clans. I can't bear to see it. Besides, Shang Qi does not know the truth and the whole story. For Lord Meng, whether he testifies or not, right?" Chen Xu said calmly.

Meng Yi was silent for a while and said, "Now the restructuring of the court has just begun, and Your Majesty's mind is mainly focused on this matter. I am also busy, and Zhao Gao is still stable. Therefore, I suggest that I take action after the restructuring is calm. What does Qinghe Hou think?"

"Haha, I'm not in a hurry!" Chen Xu nodded with a smile.

"Qinghe Hou stayed and said goodbye!" Meng Yi's face twitched a few times, and led a few guards to ride a horse and whip it towards the north gate of Xianyang.

The meal that Chen Xu invited today can be said that Meng Yi was in a big mood. The pretty little tea girl with big white legs was not asked for, but she got a fatal job, and he couldn't refuse it.

After seeing Shang Tu's confession, he went to meet Shang Qi and asked for confrontation. Meng Yi had no doubt about what Chen Xu said at the dining table.

Zhao Gao was actually a Mo Tu, which he never expected.

Meng Yi was very clear about Zhao Gao's origin. Although he was also a royal family, he was already the identity of the Qin king before three generations. His mother was abolished as a slave. Zhao Gao was born as a slave. However, after Qin Shihuang took power, he did not trust outsiders very much. He heard that Zhao Gao was diligent and proficient in the law, so he restored his identity to the royal family and filed it in Zongzheng Mansion. He successively gave him the position of the Grand Duke and the Order of the Langzhong Ling and other nine ministers. Finally, he was promoted to the Order of the Central Che Mansion in charge of the Emperor's Imperial and Jade Seal. However, when he was the Order of the Central Che Mansion, Zhao Gao actually made a private edict to stamp the emperor's seal and sealed him with three thousand households in a remote place. After this matter was exposed, Qin Shihuang was furious and threw him into the prison of the Tingwei Mansion, and Meng Yi was interrogated and asked Meng Yi to interrogate and deal with it. So Meng Yi was beheaded according to the Order of the Law. However, before the execution, Zhao Gao begged hard, and Qin Shihuang was soft-hearted and pardoned his death penalty and restored his official position.

It was because the boss Qin Shihuang threw the resurrection scroll around, which led to Zhao Gao's escape and death. Not only did he hate Meng Yi to the core, but he also eventually killed all the descendants of Qin Shihuang, becoming the culprit for the collapse of the Qin Dynasty.

Liu Xiang, editor of the Warring States Strategy, pointed out bluntly: "Qin Xin has the same surname (that is, the royal family, here refers to Zhao Gao) as a king. When it declines, it is not easy to have the same surname, but will die. Therefore, the king's rule of the world is in the practice of law, not in the faith of the same surname."

The meaning of this sentence is that Qin Shihuang believed too much about the royal family and clans of Zhao Gao and ignored the real rule of law. He just imposed the law on ordinary people and did not truly govern the country according to law, which led to death. If Zhao Gao had committed a crime and was cut off by Meng Yi, what happened later would not have happened.

What happened later was that Chen Xu knew, but Meng Yi didn't, but this did not prevent Chen Xu from using it to scare Meng Yi.

In fact, it is not considered a scare, but rather a fact and reasoning, using big data to analyze Zhao Gao's life trajectory and historical trend.

Meng Yi naturally knew that what Chen Xu said must be exaggerated, but based on his understanding of Zhao Gao, for the hatred that cannot be resolved between the two, what Chen Xu said was almost a matter of arbitrary.

As long as Zhao Gao's plan is successful, the entire Montessori will inevitably suffer.

For those who have been deeply involved in the court for generations and are wise and calculating, they are absolutely very fresh in their minds between Zhao Gao's death and his own death, and they will never press the wrong key.

Therefore, whether it is Chen Xu who uses him or for the lives of the Montessors, he must take over the hot potato thrown out by Chen Xu. No matter how unpalatable it is, he must close his eyes and grit his teeth and chew it.

Because Chen Xu said it well.

Chen Xu is a disciple of the Immortal Family. As long as Zhao Gao has no evidence to prove that Chen Xu is a fake, he must endure it. The emperor should know the most, otherwise he would not have the transcendent status of Chen Xu in the court in Xianyang. Therefore, Meng Yi naturally believed that Chen Xu was a disciple of the Immortal Family. Even if the disciple of the gods was a piece of shit, mortals had to offer to worship him, so as to absorb a little fairy energy from it. Therefore, even if Zhao Gao succeeded in plotting a rebellion, Chen Xu would at most leave Xianyang and find a place to live in seclusion in Funiu Mountain. There would be no loss or life danger at all. But the Meng family is different. He has a big family and is both ordinary people. Zhao Gao would not have any psychological burden when he killed him. He would be willing to kill him one by one and he would not be tired of it.

Seeing Meng Yi disappearing into the undulating farmlands and woods of green wheat, Chen Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
