Just when the scene was full of singing and dancing, Liu Xiaoye followed the housekeeper of Xiangguo Mansion here. Liu Xiaoye came to Lu Buwei first, then knelt on the ground on both knees, touched the ground with his forehead, and knelt on the ground without speaking.

Lu Buwei said to Liu Xiaoye: "Rebel, don't apologize to General Meng and Master Meng soon." As a father, I really indulged you too much, and you were so domineering under the nose of the king, today fortunately, General Meng and Master Meng told me, otherwise I don't know how much trouble you will cause me in the future. ”

Liu Xiaoye stood up, bowed to Meng Tian and Meng Yi respectively, and said: "I have no eyes today, I have offended General Meng and Lord Meng, I hope that the two adults can not remember the villain and forgive me." ”

Meng Yi saw that Liu Xiaoye bowed his head to himself and his eldest brother and admitted his mistakes, and today he was in Xiangguo's Mansion again, so he had to give Xiangguo a face. Meng Yi said: "Lord Xiangguo, since Ling Gongzi already knows that he is wrong, then it is inconvenient for me to say anything. It's just that when Young Master Liu goes out again in the future, he hopes to be more low-key, after all, not everyone in Xianyang City wants my eldest brother to talk as well as me. ”

Meng Tian continued: "What my brother said is that Lord Xiangguo is also a well-known figure in the Qin State, and the book "Lu's Spring and Autumn Period" by Lord Xiangguo has impressed the people of my Great Qin, but don't damage the image of Lord Xiangguo because of the lack of a way to teach your son." Lord Xiangguo, do you say yes or no?"

"The two of you are right, it is indeed my negligence, Lu did his best to assist the king, and neglected to discipline his family, but fortunately, this child has not made any big mistakes. Lu Buwei stood up and said, "Today, the old man is here to thank all the colleagues here, these days because the dog is ignorant, he has caused trouble to everyone here, and the old man is here to thank you." ”

When everyone saw Lord Xiangguo standing up, they also stood up one after another and saluted Lu Buwei. Seeing that his effect had been achieved, Lu Buwei couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, and then waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down and continue to watch the dance in the field.

Lü Buwei sat down, poured a glass full of wine, raised it and said to Meng Tian and Meng Yi: "This cup of wine should be used as the old man to make amends for the two of them. ”

Meng Tian and Meng Yi also raised their glasses, and Meng Tian said: "Then the general will thank Lord Xiangguo for his good words here, and this expedition will definitely be victorious." ”

"Come, let us wish the Major General a victorious start. Lü Buwei said.

"I wish the Major General a victory. ”

Meng Tian and Meng Yi stayed in Xiangguo Mansion until they returned to the mansion, and Lu Buwei saw that the two were too drunk and were about to get drunk, so he persuaded the two to simply stay in Xiangguo Mansion for the night, and he would send someone to inform them from Mengfu. It's just that Meng Yi helped his brother who was about to get drunk, saying that his parents didn't allow them to drink too much outside, let alone spend the night outside, and promised his mother to go back to rest at night before going out, so he could only thank Xiangye for his kindness. Seeing that the two insisted on returning to Mongolia, Lü Buwei was inconvenient to persuade them to stop them, so he sent someone to drive them home.

When they arrived at the Mongolian Mansion, the coachman from the Xiangguo Mansion got out of the car and greeted the soldiers of the Mongolian Mansion, helped Meng Tian and Meng Yi out of the car and sent them back to the mansion, and then drove away.

After the coachman was far away, the two who could only stand firm with the support of the family soldiers patted and supported their family soldiers, signaling that they were fine, and after standing firm, Meng Yi said to Meng Tian: "The eldest brother has never been drunk in a bar before, but the first time he played drunk, he can act so similarly, the younger brother really admires." ”

Meng Tian smiled and said: "Your acting skills are no worse than mine, presumably when grandpa, father and I am not at home, I will steal a lot of grandpa's treasured beautiful bars." ”

Meng Yi scratched his head, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from my eldest brother, but when grandpa comes back, you have to help me, when grandpa asks, I will say that you took the wine and then invited me to drink it, so grandpa is reluctant to beat you, of course he won't punish me." ”

Meng Tian held his forehead with his hand, "I'm really afraid of you, okay, okay, when grandpa comes back, I'll tell him that it's my idea." Let's go, go back and get some good sleep. ”

In Xiangguo's mansion, after the banquet, Lü Buwei returned to the backyard. When he arrived at the room where he was resting, Liu Xiaoye was sitting inside waiting for him. Seeing his father-in-law walk in, Xiao Ye Liu quickly stood up, poured a cup of hot tea from the table, and brought it to Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei took the teacup, took a sip, and then sat down, and at the same time motioned for Liu Xiaoye to sit down as well.

"Father, at today's banquet, I don't think the Meng brothers are really drunk, but they seem to be deliberately keeping a distance from their father. And I see that Meng Yi seems to be deliberately provoking his father several times at the banquet, and it seems that he is hostile to his father. After Liu Xiaoye sat down, he said to Lu Buwei.

Lu Buwei nodded, continued to take a sip of tea, and after putting the cup down, "Dong'er, you see it well, my father has not cultivated you for so many years in vain. Indeed, none of the two brothers is very easy to settle, especially Meng Tian, don't look at him as a military general, his mind may even be more than Meng Yi's, I think he already knows that I have the intention of recruiting him, it is estimated that Meng Wu should also know now, then King Qin will know tomorrow. Originally, tonight I wanted you to meet the two of them, and then I would be a guarantee for you to join Meng Tian's newly built Meng Family Army. As a result, I didn't expect you to see him in advance, and you almost didn't fight him. ”

Liu Xiaoye stood up and said embarrassedly: "A few days ago, the child fell in love with the Hu woman, but at that time I thought they would stay in Xianyang City for a while, and today I heard that the Hu people are auctioning their treasures and will leave Xianyang City tomorrow, so the child didn't hold back and took someone to take the woman back to the house, but I never thought that it was the Meng family brother I met there." The child broke his father's plan and was willing to be punished. ”

Lu Buwei waved his hand and said, "Dong'er, it's okay, I originally wanted you to join the Meng family's army, I guess Meng Tian would not agree, rather than being rejected by Meng Tian at the banquet at that time, it is better to come like this." ”

Liu Xiaoye asked: "Then why didn't my father directly ask the king to let me enlist in the army, and then my father asked the king to assign me to the Mengjia army?"

Lu Buwei sighed and said, "You don't know too much about the affairs of the court, and there are some things you don't understand. Now I have a gap between me and the king, although I have managed to entrap the queen mother, but the king has always regarded me as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh. Back then, I scattered all my family wealth to rescue the first king back to Qin, but I forgot that the king was still a child, and it was not until the first king ascended the throne that I took the mother and son back to Qin. It can be said that the king can ascend to the throne today, and my credit is greater than anyone else's, but it is precisely because of this that I have become the only obstacle in front of the king's future government. ”

"I understand, father, the king wants to unload the mill and kill the donkey, so he has to cultivate his own forces to fight against his father, as my father said, there is a queen mother in the palace, and there are many ministers in the court who can back up for my father, and the king can't move you. ”

Lu Buwei nodded, "But the only bad thing about being a father is that he doesn't have military power, if he has the support of the army, then our father and son can really run rampant in the Qin country, and then we don't want anything." Therefore, I want to send you to the Meng family's army, go in, don't be stingy with money, and encircle a group of people, and when the time comes, you will replace Meng Tian, so that we will have the support of the army. ”

After listening to his father's words, Young Master Liu asked, "Then what should I do now?" According to this, even if I go to the king, the king will allow me to enter the Mengjia army. ”

"Alas, I can only take one step at a time, I hope God can treat me Lu Buwei well and protect my Lu family. Lü Buwei said.

Today is the 70 th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and I wish the great motherland greater prosperity and long live the People's Republic of China!
