Chapter 1441 White rainbow pierces the sun
Chen Xu looked at his father-in-law who was laughing and crazy, pouring wine and drinking slowly. After Meng Yi laughed enough, he said slowly: "The so-called tiger poison is not a child. In order not to cause any failure to make his son in the future, Lu Xiao drove him to Langya and far away from Xianyang. Although Lu Sanlang is a playboy like his uncle, he is not a fool. He ran to my boat and told me everything he knew and asked me to save the Lu family. These happened under the eyes of his father-in-law, but his father-in-law didn't know anything. It can be seen that his father-in-law cannot escape the crime of dereliction of duty in supervision. In the future, he would rather not focus on investigating trivial matters such as Wenwuqinghou and his concubine's fun..."
Chen Xu slowly took out a piece of hemp pulp from his pocket, opened it and pushed it to Meng Yi, "There is a small courtyard here. Zhao Hai used the seal of the princes to buy Lu Xiao. I have arranged for someone to go and investigate. I did find that some ghosts were coming in and out, but I didn't see Zhao Hai and Hu Hai and others appear!"
Meng Yi took the hemp pulp and took it into his arms, nodding with a rather ugly expression: "Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to sneak in and inquire, and try to get the evidence!"
"Then I wish my father-in-law success. As the saying goes, the cunning rabbit has three holes, and my father-in-law should not have too much hope. Remember not to alert the snake!"
"Hmph, I will naturally not leave any flaws when doing things, and you don't need to worry about it!" Meng Yi obviously disdained Chen Xu's kind reminder.
"That's not necessarily the case. Lu Xiao's arrangements and plans were perfect, but he ended up giving birth to an incompetent son!" Chen Xu curled his lips with a smile on his face.
Meng Yi's face was dark in an instant.
"The firearm factory is now under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu, and officials from the three provinces and six ministries cannot intervene. The Shaofu ordered Zhao Wei to have no problem. It is unlikely that others would get involved in stealing muskets and gunpowder. They can only get it by the excuse of equiping the imperial guards. In these days, Lu Xiao or civil and military officials may request to transfer the memorials of the armed imperial guards?" Seeing Meng Yi's ugly face, Chen Xu decided not to stimulate him and continue to communicate with him again.
"No one has requested this matter yet, but the last time someone asked the Marquis of Wucheng to reinstate his post, and after the beginning of spring, he led a large army to conquer peace!" Meng Yi shook his head and said another seemingly inconspicuous thing.
"What does Your Majesty say?" Chen Xu was slightly stunned for a moment and asked anxiously.
"Your Majesty has not agreed, but it seems quite moved!" Meng Yi looked at Chen Xu slightly seriously, "Wang Ben died because of the Yanmen Pass incident, and Wang Li was deprived of his post. Now he has been idle at home for two years. Wang Li is young and energetic, and he holds a grudge against you and Jiang. He has insulted you and Jiang several times in Chunfangyuan. If Wang Li resumes his military position, he will definitely collude with Hu Hai in the future. After successfully usurping the throne, you will be the first person he wants to kill!"
"Let him talk about it after he successfully usurped the throne. This marquis is not the marquis of Ni Nan. What's more, even if His Majesty re-activates him and arranges him to lead his army to fight Anxi, he will be in trouble when he gets the news. If he really wants to seek revenge on me, he will be in a relationship with Zhao Hai, Hu Hai and others. He will never seek to fight in the West, but to seek another position that is more beneficial to usurping the throne!" Chen Xu thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Hiss, are you saying that they are trying to attack the east and the west?" Meng Yi suddenly heard different information from Chen Xu's words.
"It should be that. Since Wang Li was in the same circle with Zhao Hai and others, he would definitely not leave Xianyang easily. However, if he wanted to obtain enough military power, he had to use some strategies. In order to successfully usurp the throne, the best official position was the commander of the imperial guards. Pulling Lu Xiao into the gang was only one of them. The better way was to push Wang Li to a high enough position. After all, Lu Xiao was not easy to control, and he could only win over and not force and suppress. Zhao Hai and others must have used the matter of expedition to ask Wang Li to resume Wang Li, and Your Majesty would definitely not agree on the spot. Then he colluded with some officials and officials to prevent Wang Li from being the commander. Your Majesty was already guilty of Wang, and then someone suggested that Wang Li serve as an important position in the imperial guards, and Your Majesty would definitely agree!"
Although I suddenly heard that someone proposed to use Wang Li, Chen Xu instantly thought that it was Zhao Hai and others who were in it, and after following the initial idea, he suddenly felt a sudden enlightenment.
Meng Yi leaned blankly on the back of the chair and his heart was wafting. Although he had lived in the court for more than ten years and claimed to be a meticulous person, he had never speculated on the joints in this way. If Chen Xu had not said it, he would probably not understand the entire arrangement of Zhao Hai and others in the end.
"It seems that Zhao Hai has attracted many talented people. This plan is a plan, and it is a real thing. If you can't see through it, it will be easy for them to take the initiative!" Chen Xu grabbed a few beards on his chin and sighed with emotion.
"As far as I know, Zhao Hai, Wang Li, Yang Mu and others around Hu Hai, did not have such a trick. The only suspicious thing is that there was a young scholar next to Zhao Hai, who had mysterious whereabouts on weekdays and did not show up in Chunfangyuan. However, the fourth brother had seen Zhao Hai take this person to have a drink and banquet with Hu Hai, Wang Li and others, and behave intimately. Maybe this person is the planner behind the scenes!" After pondering for a long time, Meng Yi spoke.
Chen Xu was stunned for a moment and then had a strange smile on his face.
Meng Yi was restless by Chen Xu's sudden ghost smile, and he gently knocked on the table and asked in confusion: "Does the son-in-law know this person?"
"I don't know!" Chen Xu shook his head and denied it.
If you guess correctly, this person should be Zhang Liang, then it would not be surprising that Zhao Hai and others have stranded strategies.
Although he reminded him to join Hu Hai's camp as an undercover agent based on his ability, Zhang Liang's approach also made Chen Xu unable to guess the reason for recruiting talents for Hu Hai to promote the process of rebellion.
It would be impossible to say that Zhang Liang would completely surrender to Hu Hai and usurp the throne together, because Chen Xu had already told him clearly that Zhao Hai and Hu Hai and others had already known that their actions were against each other. He knew that his arm could not twist his thighs, and that Hu Hai and Zhao Hai were on a path of no return, Zhang Liang would never die with him.
In other words, he was absolutely relieved to treat Zhang Liang and Chen Xu. He had been dating in Xia Pi for more than a month and had a good talk about Zhang Liang's character. Chen Xu was also quite clear about Zhang Liang's character. This person was not very utilitarian, nor was he good at being powerful, lustful and kind. He was not kind to treat Huang Shi Gong who had never known each other politely helped him pick up shoes and wear shoes. It can be seen that he was not a nobleman from the Six Kingdoms who were very utilitarian, and had a good tradition and moral qualities of respecting the elderly and loving the young.
Chen Xu rubbed his forehead and began to think about Zhang Liang's motivation for doing this repeatedly, but he could never find a good explanation.
Looking at Chen Xu's frowning and concentrating, Meng Yi also poured himself into drinking and began to think about what he would face in the future and how to resolve it based on Chen Xu's speculation.
The restaurant is extremely quiet, and the two bigwigs are thinking about their own motivations and countermeasures.
"The soldiers come and the generals block it, and the water comes and the soil comes and cover it. The current plan is to try to prevent Wang Li from taking the throne and prevent Zhao Hai and others from taking control of the imperial guards. The second is to find a way to appease Lu Xiao, and it is best to convince him to become our undercover..." Chen Xu broke the silence after a long time.
"It is still possible to stop Wang Li from taking office, but it is not easy to appease Lu Xiao. Once he feels that you and I already know the interactions between him and Zhao Hai and others, he might be eager to kill people to silence him. Lu Xiao was the commander of the Xuanwu Guard before, and he heard that his swordsmanship was even more true to the real master of the raider Nie Zheng. Even Wang Ben could not defeat him. Li Xin and Zhao Tuo and others were unable to resist. His Majesty ascended the throne and became the First Emperor and formed a lieutenant imperial guard. Lu Xiao became the lieutenant's mansion. If he showed up rashly, the consequences would be unpredictable. At most, he would kill you and me, at most he would be punished by his life. But if he colluded with Zhao Hai to rebel, he would be the three tribes of Yi. No fool would choose the wrong thing in such a thing!" Meng Yi reminded with a ugly face.
"Does my father-in-law have more plans now? What's more, the catastrophe is about to stop. If we hesitate and delay, we are afraid that we will be caught off guard and fall into a passive position!" Chen Xu sighed.
"Well, I will arrange to deal with Wang Li, you will deal with Lu Xiao, you have the magic to protect your body, but I don't have it!" Meng Yi instantly chose a relatively relaxed opponent for himself.
Chen Xu nodded a few times, and knew that this was the most reasonable arrangement. Lu Xiao would naturally be a little timid when facing him. After all, he had the aura of the immortal disciples to protect his body, but if he faced Meng Yi, he might have finished his cheap father-in-law with one move. Lu Xiao inherited Nie Zheng, one of the four major assassins of the Warring States Period, and his martial arts skills would definitely not be too bad.
However, no matter how high martial arts are, they are afraid of kitchen knives. In the face of high-tech weapons, all martial arts are scattered. Huangshi Gong was beaten into a sieve by muskets. Lu Xiao must have the most martial arts skills that are comparable to Yu Wuya, and he will definitely not be able to stop the pistol bullets, so Chen Xu decided to receive Lu Xiao himself.
As they were eating and drinking, the two of them slowly discussed some plans to deal with Zhao Hai's reactionary group. Half an hour passed by, and the food on the table was already cold. The two of them also discussed it and prepared to leave.
After this discussion, Meng Yi's fear last night and his eagerness when he first arrived were almost completely calmed down. As a noble family who had been deeply engaged in the court for more than ten years, his family was even more of a high-ranking official for three generations, he would never just mess up.
"My father-in-law must remember that this matter should be notified as soon as possible. Preparations should be made early. Don't be lucky!" Chen Xu gave a special advice when he got up and left.
"Don't worry, I will communicate with my brother twice a month, and my brother has already started planning!" Meng Yi wiped his mouth and stood up, and before leaving, he suddenly said, "By the way, I want to remind you, I'm afraid that your undercover courtesan is in danger. Yesterday's secret letter said that Zhao Hai has arranged for someone to secretly monitor her behavior recently. If Zhao Hai really noticed her real purpose, he would probably kill someone to silence her!"
A cold light flashed in Chen Xu's eyes, and he nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me, the son-in-law will arrange this matter!"
"Well, don't be a woman's kindness in some things. I'm going to take the lead!" Meng Yi put on a bearskin cloak and a bearskin hat, and was wrapped tightly in his body and left the door like a black bear. Chen Xu sat alone in the room and thought about it again for a long time before leaving Qinghe Restaurant.
"Mr. Marquis~" Huangfu Que followed up like a follower.
"What's the matter?" Chen Xu was ready to get on the car.
"Mr. Marquis, are you planning to renovate Qinghe Garden? If you continue like this, you will almost lose customers. Why don't you transfer me to the newspaper office to serve as a job!" Huangfu Que looked at Chen Xu with a sad face.
"Pretty, why don't you pretend? Go and ask if the Liuxiang Garden opposite you are willing to sell. If you can buy it, buy it. If you can't buy it, discuss the partnership. Give you three days to get this done. After that, I will spend money to decorate it. I will definitely make Qinghe Garden the most lively place in Xianyang!" Chen Xu said while getting on the car.
