Chapter 343: The Inside Story of the Insider
What's weird?" Ying Zheng looked at Meng Tian, the strange things of today's events are impossible for everyone in the hall to feel it, why Gao gradually departed Changzhu can be brought into the hall This is a suspicious thing in itself, although it was said before that Changzhu was inspected by Fusu, but the fact that the hidden mechanism inside it is a certainty, which no one can change. If there is really something strange, it is that Changzhu was manipulated before Gao gradually left the palace.
Meng Tian stepped forward, Fu Su stood in front of him, looked at him and said, "Teacher, let Fu Su fight this matter alone, I don't think the teacher will be and cannot be the mastermind behind the scenes." ”
Yingzheng was a little confused when Fusu said this, he looked at Fusu and Meng Tian, and didn't know what the two of them were talking about.
Meng Tian patted Fusu's hand that grabbed his arm, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have my own measure." ”
After finishing speaking, Meng Tian said to Yingzheng: "Your Majesty doesn't know that this Gao gradually leaving is what the minister met in a post house on the bank of the Yishui River when he returned to Xianyang from Yandi. Because the minister had met Gao Yuanli in his early years, he recognized Gao Yuanli who was building there, and brought him back to Xianyang City, ready to sacrifice to His Majesty. It's just unfortunate that the minister was assassinated before, coupled with the battle with Chu Fei in the palace, His Royal Highness Gongzi delayed the time to find a birthday gift for His Majesty in order to take care of the minister, so the minister handed over Gao Yanli to Gongzi and asked Gongzi to offer it as a birthday gift. Therefore, the prince is not at fault for Gao Yuan's departure, it is the minister who is at fault, and please punish His Majesty. ”
Fusu said on the side: "No, father, Gao Yuanli was sacrificed by his son, he dared to assassinate his father, it was a dereliction of duty by his son, this matter has nothing to do with the general, please ask my father to investigate." ”
Seeing that the master and apprentice were arguing over their faults there, Ying Zheng looked a little impatient. "Alright, don't talk about the two of you, one is my own son, and the other is the person I trust the most, and I believe in the loyalty of you two to me. It's just that today's events are happening in front of so many people, and I have to find someone to come out and condemn them. Fusu, Meng Qing, don't argue between the two of you, Fusu has already been punished, and after a while, you can write a letter asking for the guilt to come up, and I will forgive your grounding. ”
"Son-in-law, thank your father. Fusu happily knelt down and bowed to Yingzheng.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Meng Tian bent down to thank Yingzheng.
Seeing that the matter was satisfactorily resolved, Meng Yi stood aside and said, "Big brother, Fusu, Your Majesty didn't intend to really punish the two of you, look at the two of you are scared." Today's matter is actually not extraordinary, because two days ago, Zhang Han just came to Yandi with a message, saying that someone would be unfavorable to His Majesty at His Majesty's birthday banquet, so today Pang Fei and Tu Qin will appear in front of Your Majesty, otherwise Your Majesty will really be in danger. ”
This time it was Meng Tian and Fusu's turn to be a little shocked, they didn't expect that Yingzheng would have known about today's assassination, but why did he take the risk to continue to hold a birthday banquet......? Meng Tian didn't dare to continue thinking about it, if he really let Gao gradually leave his hands, then I'm afraid no one can say anything about the situation in the Qin State next.
"Since Your Majesty has already received the information, why do you continue to appear at the birthday banquet?" Meng Tian asked. "What if something happens?"
Ying Zheng looked at Meng Yi and said, "Meng Yi, it's up to you to speak for me." ”
Meng Yi nodded, and opened his mouth to explain all this to the eldest brother and Fusu.
Three days ago, Zhang Han sent a flying pigeon to Xianyang City, and Zhang Han wrote in the secret letter that he had sent a message from the Mo family that he had placed in the Mo family, saying that someone would bring the Mo family's organs into Xianyang City, intending to disadvantage His Majesty at His Majesty's birthday banquet, but he did not find out who the assassin who appeared at the birthday banquet was. Zhang Han didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly sent a message to Xianyang City, Ying Zheng hurriedly summoned Meng Yi after receiving Zhang Han's report, Meng Yi was one of Ying Zheng's most trusted people, Meng Tian's injury had not yet healed, Ying Zheng did not tell him about it.
After reading Zhang Han's recital, Meng Yi realized the seriousness of the matter. His Majesty's birthday banquet has been prepared, and those who are qualified to attend or invited to attend His Majesty's birthday banquet have also come to Xianyang City, and if the birthday banquet is canceled because of an unknown assassin, I am afraid that it will provoke criticism, or someone will make a big deal about it.
So Meng Yi suggested to Ying Zheng that the birthday banquet should be held as usual, since he didn't know who the assassin was, instead of facing a danger hidden in the shadows, it was better to take the initiative to attack and find out the assassin lurking in the shadows. For the sake of insurance, Meng Yi secretly found Pang Fei, who had already taken office, and asked him to arrange for the iron guard to strictly protect His Majesty the Emperor at the birthday banquet. Then there was the scene above the birthday banquet, the whole plan can be said to be perfect, the only fly in the ointment is that everyone ignored the power of the mechanism in Gao Yanli's hand, Pang Fei actually failed to take all the three silver needles shot out of the hidden weapon, fortunately, Meng Tian also found out that something was wrong, so that Tu Qin also protected Ying Zheng's side, blocking the silver needle that missed from Pang Fei's hand.
After listening to Meng Yi's answer, Meng Tian came to his senses, and it seemed that the assassination was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface. The reputation of the Mo family is not so outstanding among the hundreds of schools, but the Mo family's organ technique is still above Lao Zhou's public loser machine technique, for no other reason, because the grandfather of the public loss family lost to the Mo family's grandfather Mozi in the written test. Therefore, after that, everyone in the world thought that the Mo family's mechanism might still be above the domineering mechanism of the public loser, but there were also rumors that the public loser was good at attacking and the Mo family was good at guarding.
However, since this matter involves the Mo family, it shows that the assassination is no longer an assassination in a simple sense. Although the reputation of the Mo family is not obvious, but its influence is not small among the hundreds of schools, the Mo family is known as the love of the world, there are many famous knights are related to the Mo family, and even the Taoists, Confucianism, etc. among the hundreds of schools of thought are inextricably linked with the Mo family.
If the Mo family also intervened in today's affairs, it would mean that the hundred schools of thought were still secretly fighting against the rule of Great Qin, which was intolerable to the emperor's reign, and a king would never allow his country to have an organization that dared to resist his rule.
"Then does Your Majesty still want to continue to go on patrol?" Meng Tian asked, since there are still so many people in the secret who think that it is not good for Yingzheng, then I am afraid that it will not be as safe as I thought at the beginning, God knows what kind of means these remnants of the Six Kingdoms who are not afraid of death will come up with to assassinate again.
Ying Zheng snorted coldly, and he said in a tone that could not be refused: "It is impossible for anyone to change the things I decide, and the same is true for the things I have decided. Meng Tian, I ordered to go down and go on patrol according to the previous plan, I want to see how many people in my huge empire want to be unfavorable to me!"
Meng Tian, Meng Yi and Fusu glanced at each other, and they all saw a hint of ominousness in their eyes, since Yingzheng had already decided, they only had to obey orders.
"Obey. ”
"The retainers obeyed. ”
Ying Zheng opened a scroll of bamboo slips, and then said, "I'm going to review the chapter, you should step back first." ”
The three of them responded in unison: "No." ”
Walking outside the hall, Fusu walked in front, Meng Tian and Meng Yi walked side by side behind Fusu, and behind them, Tu Qin walked slowly ten steps away.
Fu Su walked at the front and said, "Teacher, Meng Qing, today's incident is thanks to the two of you, otherwise I may really be severely punished by my father." ”
Meng Yi agreed with what Fusu said, today's events are too dangerous, and it is not impossible for Yingzheng to directly send Fusu to prison for questioning under his anger. "Childe is too worried, Your Majesty understands in your heart that in this matter, Your Highness is just a wronged substitute for the dead, maybe Your Majesty will punish Childe, but will never punish Childe and Gao as the same crime. ”
Fusu stopped, turned to face Meng Tian and Meng Yi, and Meng Tian and Meng Yi also stopped. "Having said that, no one can be sure of the emperor's temperament, and it is hard to imagine that if Gao Yuanli's silver needle really hurts his father, then the Qin country will really change the sky. ”
"Actually, Gongzi is not more than thinking like this, even if something really happens to His Majesty, Gongzi is the eldest son of His Majesty, and Gongzi will naturally succeed His Majesty and continue to take charge of the Qin State, and no one dares to do anything to His Highness. Meng Yi persuaded Su Dao.
Fusu's heart settled down a little, and he looked at Meng Tian, who hadn't spoken since he left the hall, "Teacher, what are you thinking?"
Meng Tian woke up from his contemplation, he looked at Fusu and his younger brother and said, "I was thinking that maybe this matter today is not as simple as we know. Today, Gao gradually left the assassination unsuccessfully, and then Li Si began to attack Gongzi, I feel that all this is like someone designed, maybe today's incident is just a cover, their real target is not His Majesty the Emperor, but Gongzi You. ”
"Me?" Fusu said with a look at himself, confused.
"Yes, it's you. Meng Tian replied. "Once His Majesty the Emperor is successfully assassinated, then Gongzi will naturally be the best candidate to succeed him, but Gao Yuanli is from the hands of Gongzi, so it may not be easy for Gongzi to continue to take over His Majesty's throne. ”
Meng Yi suddenly realized, "Yes, why didn't I think of this. However, Childe is the eldest son of His Majesty, and no matter what happens, Childe is the best candidate to succeed him. ”
Meng Tian broke Meng Yi's words: "But you must know that Your Majesty is not only a prince of Fusu, even if Fusu can't be a prince, there are so many princes below, wouldn't everyone have a chance to be called the future emperor of Great Qin?"
Fusu sighed, he leaned on the white railing outside the main hall, looked at the huge and empty square in front of the hall and said, "Fusu would rather be stabbed with three needles by someone than those three silver needles on his father's body." ”
"That's why I wonder who is the target of the mastermind behind today's incident? Your Majesty, Emperor, you, or someone else, I have asked Your Majesty for an order, and I must find out this matter clearly, and give justice to my son. Meng Tian said to Fusu.
"Okay, then Fusu thanked the teacher first. Fusu bowed down to Meng Tian and thanked him.
