In fact, since he began to fight for His Majesty the Emperor, Meng Tian has always known very little about the affairs above the court, and he only cares about whether he can win the next battle and how many soldiers under his command will die on the battlefield. So much so that now, what is the situation in the court, Meng Tian, as the newly appointed internal history of His Majesty the Emperor, does not know anything.

Meng Yi is the opposite, he is a literati and a Confucian student, he is good at politics, so he has always been above the court of the Qin State. As a close minister of the emperor's reign, coupled with a high position, Meng Yi can be said to know everything above the court of the Qin State well.

Meng Tian sat on the bed, Meng Yi sat on the chair next to the bed, the two brothers hadn't spoken together like this for a long time.

"Big brother, who are the people who assassinated you? Didn't you say that you caught one alive? and didn't ask anything?" Meng Yi asked.

Meng Tian sighed, and the captured killer died early the next morning. Because of Meng Tian's injury, everyone ignored this person. When he tried to question the leader of the killer, when he entered the room where he was being held, he found that he had been poisoned to death, and even the soldiers guarding the door did not notice the movement in the house.

"It seems that the main messenger behind these people must have made a double insurance, if these people succeed in assassination, they will get the antidote, and if they don't go back, then we won't get anything useful in their mouths. I have to say that the methods of these people are indeed a bit vicious. After learning that the arrested killer committed suicide by poisoning, Meng Yi felt a little sorry, and in this way, all the clues of these killers were broken.

"Not really, though. Meng Tian said, "Although we didn't catch it alive, one of these people escaped, and our people followed, and finally followed this person to a place, and then disappeared, and our people were afraid of startling the snake, so they didn't continue to follow." ”

Hearing the eldest brother say that there were new clues, Meng Yi asked, "Then where did this person flee to?"

"A place you can't think of. ”

A place that you can't even think of, where will this be? Although Xianyang City is very large, if you say that you have the ability to cultivate killers, I am afraid that you can count it on one hand. Naturally, there is no need to say it in the palace, but how could His Majesty the Emperor send someone to assassinate Meng Tian? I am afraid that the next thing is the Great General's Mansion here, the scale of the General's Mansion is already much larger than when Meng Wei was still alive, and there are 500 soldiers in the General's Palace, which is the right granted to the Meng family by His Majesty the Emperor after he became emperor, so in this way, the General's Mansion is also capable of cultivating such a group of killers.

In addition to the palace and his own home, Meng Yi really couldn't think of any other place where he could have such a great ability to afford so many killers, the Prime Minister's Mansion? Meng Tian drank wine in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Li You escorted Meng Tian home, Li Si couldn't take such a big risk with his only son.

Meng Yi thought for a moment and asked, "What place......?"

"Our people followed that person to a place, because this person's position is a bit special, and if it weren't for special circumstances, I still don't want to provoke this person. Meng Tian said to his younger brother.

After all, Zhao Gao is the person next to His Majesty the Emperor after all, although his time by Ying Zheng's side is not very long, but the time he has been with Ying Zheng is much longer than Meng Tian, so Meng Tian doesn't feel that the current Zhao Gao is in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor

The position in the position will be much lower than yourself.

"CRRC government order, Zhao Gao's home. "Say such a place from Meng Tian's mouth.

Hearing Zhao Gao's name, Meng Yi was taken aback. Zhao Gao can be said to be the henchmen of His Majesty the Emperor, compared to the Meng brothers, Li Si and these people, Zhao Gao is better to make up. Not to mention anything else, a eunuch who can accompany the emperor at any time for twelve hours a day, Zhao Gao has grown from a small eunuch at the beginning to the chief eunuch who controls the entire palace today, and his rank above the court is not too low.

"Zhao Gao, how could it be him? Why did he kill the eldest brother?" Zhao Gao is a minister, and Meng Tian is a courtier, the two of them will be said to have no big intersection, usually when Zhao Gao comes to pass the edict on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, the two of them will only say a few words, how can Zhao Gao have a grudge against the eldest brother.

Seeing Meng Yi's incredible expression, when Meng Tian learned that Chu Fei had entered Zhao Gao's mansion, his expression was not much better than Meng Yi's expression at this time.

Meng Tian said helplessly: "Why, you don't dare to believe it, to be honest, if it weren't for the elite of my subordinates who repeatedly confirmed that the killer entered the CRRC Mansion Lingfu, I wouldn't believe it." ”

Meng Yi felt that things would not be so simple, there were killers in Zhao Hao's hands, and there were quite a few of them, even masters, which made Zhao Gao, who had always been unknown by His Majesty's side, suddenly become a little terrifying. Zhao Gao is in charge of the affairs of the palace, and he has the right to interfere in the safety of the palace. If he had evil intentions and mixed the killer into the palace, wouldn't His Majesty the Emperor be very dangerous?

Meng Yi recovered from the shock, he looked at his eldest brother and said, "Then, in that case, isn't the safety of His Majesty the Emperor very dangerous?"

Meng Tian nodded, Meng Yi's worry was also what Meng Tian was worried about, but now that His Majesty the Emperor has been safe and sound, it means that Zhao Gao's goal may not be His Majesty the Emperor.

"By the way, I want to know Zhao Yu, how much do you know about him?" Meng Tian asked, since Zhao Yu is Zhao Gao's brother, and he was appointed by His Majesty the Emperor to thoroughly investigate the treasury under Zhao Yu's jurisdiction, and he happened to be assassinated at this time, there may be some connection between the two.

Of course, Meng Yi knew that Meng Tian wanted to investigate the treasury, so when he heard Meng Tian ask about Zhao Yu at this time, Meng Yi didn't feel anything else.

"Zhao Yu became an official very early, but at that time, Zhao Gao had not yet sat in the position of the CRRC government commander, and he was not qualified to go to the court. Later, when Zhao Gao became the commander of CRRC, the relationship between Zhao Yu and Zhao Gao gradually became well-known, so Zhao Yu came to this day step by step. Meng Yi said to the eldest brother.

"But it's strange to say, Zhao Yu is not a big person, and he can't settle accounts, I don't know why His Majesty the Emperor personally appointed Zhao Yu to manage the treasury. However, I don't think this person is very bold, and he can be regarded as diligent in doing things, I don't think Zhao Yu will dare to send someone to assassinate you. ”

After hearing this, Meng Tian said to his younger brother: "No matter what, this matter has happened, whether it is Zhao Yu or Zhao Gao, since they dare to get involved in my Great Qin's society, then I will take care of it no matter what." ”

Meng Yi stood up and said, "Okay, let's start investigating the treasury when the eldest brother is injured, I believe that there are a lot of cats in the treasury, and this is also what His Majesty the Emperor is worried about." Oh yes, one more thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"A month later is the birthday of His Majesty the Emperor, which also happens to be the birthday of our brother, and His Majesty means that we will spend it with him. A month later, His Majesty will have a banquet for all the ministers in the Afang Palace, and the eldest brother must go at that time. Meng Yi said with a smile, it's strange to say, the birthday of the two brothers and Ying Zheng's birthday is actually the same day, Meng Tian used to fight outside, every year Ying Zheng and Meng Yi celebrate their birthday together, this year Meng Tian is at home, so Ying Zheng is very happy, and the three good friends want to spend a birthday together.

"Uh. Unexpectedly, Meng Yi said this, but Meng Tian has always ignored it. "Well, it's okay, I also want to go to Afang Palace to have a look, and I'll just go when the time comes. ”

Meng Yi smiled and nodded, he said: "By the way, don't forget to bring gifts for Your Majesty, you haven't been at home all these years, I selected your gifts for you, this time it's up to you to figure it out yourself, eldest brother." ”

Meng Tian smiled slyly, his gift was naturally prepared a long time ago. "Rest assured, my gift has already been prepared, and it is guaranteed to surprise everyone when the time comes. ”

Meng Yi left, Meng Tian got up from the bed, although the wound under his ribs was still a little painful, but under the treatment of the best gold sore medicine, it was good very quickly, but his left arm still couldn't lift anything.

Meng Yi said a lot, Afang Palace, the imperial tomb, the killer, it seems that everything revolves around the treasury, Meng Tian felt a little pressure. Court politics is indeed not his strong point, rather than letting him deal with these tedious things, it is better to let him lead his troops to fight the enemy.

Meng Tian looked out the window, feeling a little heavy.

The Great Wall in the north, with the joint efforts of seven or eight hundred thousand people, the progress of the Great Wall is not very slow, at least the section of 300 miles from Rock City to Heishui City has been built for nearly 100 miles in more than a year. However, only one-third of the trees and boulders in the 300-mile area were consumed, and the stones needed to build the Great Wall were now mined from the mountains behind the rock city and transported to the construction site of the Great Wall.

Zhang Kui stood on the built Great Wall and looked to the north, and from a distance, he saw the green grassland. Thanks to the general's strategy, the Huns basically did not attack here again, but there were a lot more caravans between the steppe and Daqin, which increased the taxes of Yancheng a lot, and indirectly accelerated the progress of building the Great Wall.

Xue Bin and Tu Qin led an army of 50,000 into the grassland to help the Xiongnu princess regain the Khan throne, and in the past year and a half, Yancheng has received a lot of news, basically the news that the army has won the battle, and occasionally there is also news that it has been defeated by the coalition forces of other tribes, but fortunately, the equipment of the Qin army is better than that of the Huns, and the loss of each defeat is not too big.

Some time ago, news came that the army of Kundu had been completely defeated, Princess Yinting had regained the throne of Khan, and was gathering the scattered herdsmen on the grassland, and the army would soon be in charge. So after getting the news, Zhang Kui had to board here for nearly an hour almost every day.

The sun was gradually fading in the west, but there was still a long time before it set, Zhang Kui turned around and prepared to leave the Great Wall, but the moment he turned around, he seemed to see something out of the corner of his eye. He hurriedly turned around and looked into the distance, where a black flag was raised high and slowly drove in his direction.

Although the distance was a little far, Zhang Kui still recognized the huge "Meng" character woven with gold thread on the banner at a glance, which was the return of the army that had gone to the grassland.
