In the middle of the day, although the sky has already darkened, the summer heat still makes people unable to be quiet, the sound of insects and frogs is intertwined, and fireflies are flying all over the sky, rendering a warm atmosphere that can only be found in midsummer.

Meng Yi was in the pavilion in the backyard of the house at this time, lying on a rocking chair with his brother Meng Tian and shaking a pu fan chatting, and the conversation was naturally the details discussed with Li Xin, Jiang Heng and others tonight.

"Master, the fourth master is back, saying that there is something important to report!" The housekeeper of the Hou Mansion hurriedly came and whispered.

"Please!" Meng Yi frowned slightly and sat up.

"Yes!" The housekeeper retreated, and Meng Tian also sat up and asked, "What, you arranged for the fourth brother to go out on errands?" ”

"No, there is another thing I haven't told my brother, the old house in the south of the city was transformed into a Quyuan, I invested 300,000 yuan to account for 30% of the shares, so I arranged for the fourth brother to be a supervisor in it, I told him not to come to the house to see me if he has nothing important on weekdays, I'm afraid something happened in Chunfangyuan today?" Meng Yi explained simply.

"I see, but why are you so nervous about the matter of Chunfangyuan?" Meng Yi asked puzzled.

"Brother doesn't know, Qinghe Marquis suspects that Zhao Hai intends to collude with his son Hu Hai, and is suspected of plotting to usurp the throne, this matter is so ......" Meng Yi roughly recounted the fact that Zhao Gao pretended to be a Miao doctor and infiltrated the palace until Zhao Hai and Hu Hai might collude.

"Since the Marquis of Qinghe is suspicious, why don't you arrange it personally, if the fourth brother gets involved, he may be implicated?" Meng Tian also frowned.

"Brother doesn't need to be nervous, this matter was arranged by Qinghehou, because I have shares in it, so I passed the news under my hand......"

Meng Yi said and stood up, gently shook the pu fan and walked to the edge of the pavilion, looked up at the brilliant stars in the sky, and sighed slowly, "The catastrophe of His Majesty that the Marquis of Qinghe said at the beginning is coming, maybe it will be on Zhao Hai and Hu Hai, if His Majesty does not establish a prince but suddenly dies in the sky, and Zhao Hai and Hu Hai and others seek to usurp the throne, there will inevitably be a big purge of the Chinese and martial arts, if I want to be invincible, I must have a choice, and now is to choose the right time......"

"First, take refuge in Gongzi Hu Hai, once His Majesty buries Hu Hai on the throne in the future, he will inevitably still be reused, and my Montessori will still be honored and prominent."

"Second, investigate Hu Hai's rebellion clearly, no matter whether His Majesty has a prince or not, as long as there is the support of the Marquis of Qinghe, the Montessori can still be at ease and quietly watch the changes in the situation and choose the right time to act!"

"The eldest husband acts, how can he be so swaying, my Mengshi is under the grace of His Majesty, and I have been loyal to Daqin for generations, how can I betray the family, if Hu Hai tries to usurp the throne, Mengshi categorically can't follow him, don't think about this first second brother, if Your Majesty does not establish a prince, in order, the eldest prince Fusu ascends the throne, this is justified......" Meng Tian shook his head.

"Brother don't worry, brother is just reasoning, this matter Qinghe Hou has already known, it is naturally not very possible to take refuge in Hu Hai, in order to find out the movements of Hu Hai and Zhao Hai, Qinghe Hou deliberately held an Oiran competition, put the two excellent Ling into Chunfang Garden, and used Zhao Hai to contact the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to inquire about some news, the fourth brother as the director of Chunfang Garden, it is easy to send out the news of the inquiry, at this time the fourth brother came, there must be some changes......"

"I see, since you have made an agreement with Qinghe Hou, my brother won't ask, you can do it yourself!"

"Brother don't worry, brother must be cautious!"

Just as the two brothers were talking, the old housekeeper came in a hurry with a middle-aged man about forty years old, although the sky was dark, but through the glass lamp hanging outside the pavilion, it could still be seen that this man was somewhat similar to Meng Yi and Meng Tian.

"My brother has seen two brothers!" After the man walked into the pavilion, he bowed respectfully to Meng Yi and Meng Tian.

"Fourth brother doesn't need to be polite, why did he come in a hurry so late, what happened to Chunfangyuan?" After a simple salute, Meng Yi asked.

"Second brother, today you and Di Daohou and others left after the banquet in Chunfangyuan, but Di Daohou was left alone by Jianchenghou, and then took him to the chess and card room to play, until the middle of the time, Lin Xian'er privately told me that Jiancheng Hou and Di Daohou 3,000 gambling money, Di Daohou finally won more than 10,000 yuan, Wucheng Hou invited him to fight again another day, and said that he would go hunting outside the city together......"

Meng Tian and Meng Yi glanced at each other after listening, and under the faint light of the stars and moon, they could see that their expressions were very serious.

"I already know about this matter, the fourth brother should go back quickly so as not to arouse suspicion, don't get too close to Lin Xian'er on weekdays!"

"Yes, brother retires!" The man came and went quickly, and only two or three sentences were spoken before and after.

"Brother, Zhao Hai is really secretly constantly wooing many princes and civil and military officials, Li Xin has just returned to Beijing, he can't wait to start wooing, according to my private contact, the current relationship with Zhao Hai is not only the internal history of the palace order Qi Tang, the ministry order Shen Gongyan, the marquis of Tongwu Wang Li, but also the Marquis of Wenjing Yao Cuo, Changwu Marquis Zhao Cheng, the fifth doctor Zhao Ying, the fifth doctor Yang Mu ......" Meng Yi said while shaking the pu fan, it seemed that suddenly it became hot.

"It seems that the Marquis of Qinghe speculated well, Zhao Hai's rebellion has been revealed, the Marquis of Wucheng was dismissed from office and was idle at home, although he is not in the army, but many generals in the army and even many civil and military forces in the court are close to him, Wang Jian Wang Ben A large number of cronies and generals are all serving in the two military camps in the northwest, Li Xin is now neglected by His Majesty because of the enamel equipment, and his mood is naturally depressed...... Meng Tian thought about it for a while, and also felt that this matter was tricky.

"If I can find out what Hu Hai took from Zhao Gao's mansion at the beginning, this matter may be easy to control, but the palace is heavily guarded, and I really can't do it!" Meng Yi shook his head and sat back in the rocking chair, lying on his back and shaking and sighing gently.

"I know how, I don't know what, Hu Haigui is a son, and the palace is so big, it's too simple to hide a thing, Qinghe Marquis doesn't want to investigate, you don't have to think about it, the current task is to suppress the resale of enamel equipment by the Western Army, if it is for his brother to be dismissed from office, Hu Hai and Zhao Hai will try to usurp in the future, and the chaos of the dynasty will make the Meng clan even more helpless, and you don't have to forget, since the Marquis of Qinghe has suspected that Zhao Hai and Hu Hai have rebelled, Although he can't explain it to the emperor without any evidence, there should be more arrangements in private, so we don't need to be too nervous, no matter which prince comes to power, the position of the Marquis of Qinghe is unshakable, unless it ......" Meng Tian's face suddenly shook slightly.

"Unless what?" Meng Yi stopped shaking the fan.

"Unless Hu Hai and Zhao Hai intend to be unfavorable to the Marquis of Qinghe!" Meng Tian slowly said this sentence word by word, and then for no reason, he actually made a swing, feeling cold all over.

Meng Yi's hand shook and the fan fell on his face, and he suddenly sat up and looked at Meng Yi: "Brother, don't talk nonsense, Chen Xugui is the Taishi, and he has the name of the young master, how dare Hu Hai?" ”

"Hmph, why don't you dare, since ancient times, the royal family has competed for the crown, and all kinds of means have been used to the extreme, although the Marquis of Qinghe is a disciple of the Immortal Family, but he himself admits that it is just the Taiyi Immortal Venerable Dream of the Book of Heaven, and he is still an ordinary man, could it be that the second brother forgot the matter of Hangu Pass at the beginning, and the Ji brothers almost killed him by ambushing hundreds of heroes, if it weren't for the daughter of the Jiang family to block the arrows for him, I am afraid that Daqin would not have the name of Qinghe Marquis now!" Meng Tian stroked his beard, and his voice was cold and chilling.

Meng Yi sat in a daze for a long time before coming back to his senses, and nodded after pondering for a long time: "Brother's speculation makes some sense, no wonder...... No wonder the Marquis of Qinghe gritted his teeth every time he mentioned Hu Hai, and repeatedly bewitched us that the harm of Hu Hai's accession to the throne must have been deduced that Hu Hai would be unfavorable to him after he ascended the throne, so he asked us to deal with Hu Hai together......"

"What you think is too simple, Hu Hai's accession to the throne may not be good for the Qinghe Marquis, but what the Qinghe Marquis is worried about is definitely not this reason, but he is worried that after Hu Hai ascends the throne, all the prosperous and prosperous times created by his promotion of the Great Qin reform will be destroyed, the Qinghe Marquis needs a deferential and gentle monarch to ascend the throne, not Hu Hai who harbors evil intentions, according to my understanding of the Qinghe Marquis, even if Hu Hai succeeds in ascending the throne, he will definitely have the back hand to pull him down from the emperor's throne, but the cost of doing so is too great, It will cause great turmoil in the court and the people, and it will also affect his reputation in the government and the opposition......"

"Alas~" Meng Yi lay down again, "Strong as Li Si, all of them are broken in his hands, I have always prided myself on being clear-headed, but I have never been able to see through him, Daqin's changes are so fast that I am dizzying, I really don't know what he wants Daqin to become in the end, compared to him, the Manchu Dynasty is like a fool!" ”

"Some things don't need to be too smart, just watch from the wall, the more you participate, the greater the risk you will naturally take, since you know that the Marquis of Qinghe will have a fight with Zhao Hai and Hu Hai, as long as the Mengshi is not too deeply involved, the future will definitely be invincible, let me stop today, go back to the house for my brother to rest, these two days or as soon as possible to sort out the book of military reform......" Meng Tian stood up and strode out of the pavilion with a pu fan, and floated away in the dark night.

"Watching from the wall...... How to watch from the wall...... Alas......"

Meng Yi lay on the rocking chair and muttered and sighed, unlike his brother who has been fighting outside all the year round, he has been in Xianyang for a long time, and he knows how smart and cunning his son-in-law is, since he has decided to deal with Hu Hai, how can he allow Mengshi to use such a good blade without pulling it out.

Hiding and tucking doesn't seem to be the habit of this chicken thief's son-in-law.

And over the years, since becoming the left minister, this son-in-law's momentum has become more and more prosperous, and now he is knighted as a prince, and his status is unshakable, and he sits next to the first emperor and looks down on the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and even Meng Yi feels a little worried and cautious when talking to Chen Xu now.

Therefore, it is not easy for Montessori to be a wall-to-wall watcher, a fisherman who fights with sandpipers and mussels and waits for profit.

As a court boss, he doesn't have much choice in many things, it is necessary to take sides, and between Chen Xu and Hu Hai, Montessori must have a clear object of support.

And Meng Tian is not wrong, since Chen Xu has already discovered the movements of Zhao Hai and Hu Hai, there must be more backhands in secret, Lin Xian'er undercover Chunfangyuan is just the most superficial thing, and the deeper means should have already begun to be planned and arranged.

"Alas, the old man really thinks too much......"

Meng Yi sighed again, feeling that instead of worrying about the future of this chicken thief's son-in-law, it was better to worry more about the current crisis facing Montessori.

If Meng Tian can't be successfully removed from the crisis of the enamel incident, I am afraid that Montessori will soon begin to fall.
