At the end of the day, Meng Yi returned home from Shangshu Province and found that his brother was already waiting in the living room, and Meng Yi probably knew the reason why his brother, who had nothing to do recently, so the two also discussed Chen Xu's Keju Conference, and agreed that Chen Xu was a little idle recently, and at the same time did not want to have a head-on conflict with Li Si again.

"It's okay to act like this, the construction progress of Dongfang Road is unstoppable at the moment, there is no need for him to force Li Si, we can also sit and wait and wait for the ending!" Meng Yi nodded.

"However, we still have to closely monitor Li Si's movements, Li Si did not succeed in the last time, and he will definitely not give up, since we clearly intend to support Qinghe Hou, we can't completely ignore it!" Meng Tian thought for a moment and said.

"This matter is natural, after all, it is an in-law, Wan'er will give birth to an heir in the future, and she will inevitably inherit the position of a marquis, which will also be a great help to my Montessori clan in the future, I will arrange this matter carefully, but what does my brother think about His Majesty's revelation that he was going to conquer the Western Regions yesterday in the court?" Meng Yi changed the subject.

Meng Tian was silent for a long time and then shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty's mind is unpredictable, Your Majesty has never had a plan to conquer Qiangrong in the west before, and the Northwest Army is also stationed in Jiuyuan, Yanmen, Liaodong and other northern places, and the defense of Qiangrong in the west is not strict, and now the scourge of Hunghu in the north has subsided, according to my speculation, there will be no more wars in the northwest, but I didn't expect that Hun and Hu have just been pacified, the army has not yet been dismantled, and Your Majesty is going to attack the Western Regions again, this matter is weird, and I can't think of the reason...... Maybe...... Qinghe Hou should know! ”

"Looks like I'll have to ask him again!" Meng Yi frowned slightly.

Although the two families are relatives, Meng Yun and Chen Xu also have close contacts, but Meng Yi knows his son's temperament, and he doesn't care about the government and politics, which is a typical gentleman, don't expect Meng Yun to ask about this kind of military affairs, and Chen Xu will never take the initiative to talk to Meng Yun about these things.

And when he thought of his son, Meng Yi hated it a little.

If the son is not successful, then the Mengshi clan will almost have to rely on Chen Xu, the son-in-law, in the future.

"There is no need to worry about this matter, if it is done by the Marquis of Qinghe, there will definitely be a purpose, and Your Majesty is not a foolish king, and the conquest of the Western Regions must also be because of the benefits, otherwise you will not make such a decision easily, wait and see what it will be!" Meng Tian shook his head.

"But in this matter, I suddenly feel that Your Majesty must have planned for a long time, and my brother's transfer back to Jingshi is estimated to have something to do with this matter?" Meng Yi stroked his beard and said suddenly.

Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, and then stood up with a slightly excited face: "You mean that Your Majesty is going to transfer me to take charge of the army to attack the Western Regions?" ”

Meng Yi nodded slightly with a serious face: "Although this matter is not yet clear, but with the current situation, it seems that there are six or seven percent certainty, Wucheng Hou took over from his brother to take charge of the Northwest Army, although the three generations of the Wang family are all good generals, but Wang Li is young after all, only more than twenty years old, more than enough to defend and lack of experience in battle, and the Western Regions must be very important in the eyes of His Majesty, otherwise he would not act so cautiously, since the elder brother is well guarding the northwest, and he is familiar with the generals and soldiers and the land of Huhu, why does Your Majesty do so much, With my current status and merits, my brother has not made a big mistake, and it is absolutely impossible to act like this according to His Majesty's consistent style, otherwise it will not make the hearts of the Manchu generals cold! ”

"Isn't it what I thought before, it's because of Zhao Gao's matter?" Meng Tian stood and looked at Meng Yi suspiciously.

"Zhao Gao committed the crime of rebellion, according to the law to be beheaded by the whole house, although the testimony and evidence are not rigorous, but he arranged to collude with several county officials to modify the migration order, and secretly sent domestic slaves to kill more than 200 people successively, the evidence is conclusive, do not use him to deny it at all, and Zhao Zhe hidden in the palace with the intention of assassinating the Marquis of Qinghe is also a matter of conclusive evidence, Your Majesty is not stupid, how can you not think through the powerful joints, my Meng clan has been loyal to Your Majesty and Great Qin for three generations, and there is no disobedience at all, and the investigation of Zhao Gao is also important for Your Majesty and Great Qin. If Your Majesty is angry with my Montessori brothers because of this matter, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of hundreds of officials! ”

"What the second brother said is reasonable!" Meng Tian also suddenly realized at this time.

"This matter was also suddenly thought of because His Majesty suddenly wanted to crusade against the Western Regions!" Meng Yi nodded.

"In this way, Your Majesty has never been angry with me because of Zhao Gao's matter!" Meng Tian's face showed a touch of joy.

"I hope so, only such speculation can explain why His Majesty suddenly wants to transfer his brother back to Jingshi!"

"If His Majesty's conquest of the Western Regions is the idea of the Marquis of Qinghe, then it seems that I still underestimate him!"

"It's not that my brother underestimated him, I'm afraid that except for the emperor, the entire court civil and military officials have underestimated him, including me and Li Si, in less than two years, what happened in Xianyang can only be described as dazzling, my brother came back this time with the deepest understanding, Xianyang has changed so much that it is jaw-dropping, if it is not for the deep taste in it, and come back in two or three years, I am afraid that my brother will feel like he is dreaming!"

"That's true, Xianyang has changed so much, it's like a dream for my brother to this day, the first day I returned, the newspapers and the bus shocked me, I felt that I couldn't keep up with the times, and I couldn't talk when I got together with relatives and friends, like a villager isolated from the mountains......" Meng Tian couldn't help but sigh.

"Hehe, since this is the case, then let's wait and see what happens, if Your Majesty can re-enable your brother to take charge of the army that conquers the Western Regions, and all future developments will be under the control of your brother, then you will finally understand the reason why Your Majesty attaches so much importance to the Western Regions!"

"Yes, the matter of the Western Regions will definitely not be a whim of His Majesty, I am very much looking forward to it for my brother!"

Meng Tian's heart knot was completely opened at this time, and he was uneasy every day for the two or three months when he was transferred back to Xianyang, and today he finally had a comfortable feeling of seeing the clouds.

"In this case, let's go and watch this Keju Conference held by Qinghe Hou, I heard that Yun'er also organized a Keju team to participate, and it just happened that my brother was also a little itchy, so I went to bet!" Meng Tian laughed heartily and called a servant of the Meng Mansion, and took out a handful of finger-sized gold cakes from his pocket, "Take it to the Lingering Fragrance Garden, help me sell the first Keju competition the day after tomorrow, and the old man wants to sell the Tiger Team of the Academy of Sciences of Qinghe Hou to win!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The servant respectfully took a handful of heavy gold, thinking in his heart that this handful of gold seemed to have not been counted by the general, hehe!

"Wait, help the old man make a bet and buy that ......" Just when the servant was about to pay a few taels of gold for Meng Tian after going out, Meng Yi also spoke.

"Wild donkey, master, the other Keju team in the first game is called the wild donkey team!" The servant hurriedly reminded.

Meng Yi twitched his cheek and nodded: "Yes, just help me sell the wild donkey team to win!" ”

"How much?" The servant hurriedly asked.

"Bet 10,000...... Well, five thousand dollars! ”

When he said 10,000 yuan, Meng Yi felt that it might be a little unreliable, so he cut it in half, but he regretted it after two days.

In the blink of an eye, it was already two days later.

From the beginning of planning to the start of the first official competition, the Hercules Cup Keju Contest was only about ten days of preparation.

Although the time is short, there is a lot of what should be there.

On May 28, the weather was clear.

After yesterday's rainstorm, the water in the Wei River rose several feet, and the newly renovated Keju field also showed a particularly green grass after the heavy rain.

The course is re-painted with lime and therefore looks particularly clear and pleasing to the eye.

After a few days of brewing and fermentation, this most novel and special Keju competition in history has also attracted tens of thousands of people from all over Xianyang to watch, and there are countless gamblers who can't go to the scene to watch, and they are a little absent-minded when they go to work.

The ball game has not yet started, but the stadium not far below the Weihe Bridge at the East Gate is already surrounded by crowds, and the crowd is full of people, which can be described as a sea of people.

The lieutenant's mansion specially arranged for a hundred generals to come with soldiers to maintain order.

Stopped by the soldiers, the onlookers stood a foot away from the sideline of the court.

Around the stadium are some hastily made billboards, and the rough wooden board is written in huge black letters with the logo of the first Keju Conference of the Hercules Cup and the names of sponsors such as Shui's Tea House, Liuxiangyuan Gaming Company, Huaxia Qianzhuang, Maofeng Freight, Jiangxi Porcelain, and Qinghe Store.

The pitch and conditions seem to be rudimentary, but they don't look much different from the commercial football activities of later generations.

Behind the billboard closest to the stadium stood spectators with lottery tickets in their hands, and the rest of the spectators or gamblers who bet on the black village could only stand on tiptoe a few feet away, and some even brought stones and bricks to stand on it.

At the end of the day, with the sound of a gong, after a brief opening ceremony like a rehearsal, the two teams were ready to take the stage.

The Tigers of the Academy of Sciences are wearing white shorts and short sleeves under the basket, with a black forehead guard on their heads, their hair is also carefully tied, and a white tiger head is painted in the center of the forehead, with the Tigers of the Academy of Sciences written on the chest and Arabic numerals written on the back.

The wild donkey team wears shorts and short sleeves with yellow and green, and also wears a white forehead guard on their heads, with a donkey head pattern drawn in the center of the forehead, and the wild donkey team in the south of the city is written on the chest, and the number is also written with Arabic numerals on the back.

The rules of football are similar to those of later generations, the two sides played, there was a group of little ladies wearing light short skirts holding the team flags of both sides to go around the field, and finally the two teams were in front of their own team flags, according to Chen Xu's requirements, they all raised their scissor hands and shouted eggplant, waiting for the referee to draw the box with their hands and shouted a click, and began to toss coins, the captains of the two teams chose sides, and then the players scattered into the field, and the audience suddenly began to stir up nervously and excitedly.

In the past few days, teams have warmed up here every day, so many of the onlookers have almost completely understood the rules of the game, and know that after these processes are over, the game will officially begin.

At this time, on the huge blackboard score record board, the names of the two teams have also been hung out, and the score below is 0:0.
