Before then, Chen Xu cleaned up and took a car to the factory outside the city under the escort of Yu Wuya and a group of guards.

And almost at the same time, Meng Yi also carried a bow and arrows on his back and took seven or eight guards to leave the mansion in a light car, and he quickly came out of the north gate of Xianyang City as if he was going out on a safari.

The four gates of Xianyang City are full of people every day, millions of people in the city, and the vicinity of the city and the Great Chang'an is also a prosperous area, and the palaces on both sides of the Wei River are layered and stretch for dozens of miles, and the distance is really like the fairy palace building.

Since Shang Ying suggested that Qin move the capital from Yongcheng to Xianyang, Xianyang has become bigger and bigger, in addition to the Xianyang palace group, there are Zhangtai Palace and Chang'an Palace, Zhangtai Palace has long been completed, on the south bank of the Wei River, it is the place where the emperor and civil and military officials deal with the government affairs, and it is also the most lively and prosperous area in Xianyang.

Chang'an Palace is the fief of Chang'an Jun Cheng Chan, but after Cheng Chan rebelled against Zhao State, Chang'an Palace has been empty there, the Chang'an City of later generations was built on the basis of Chang'an Palace, according to the planning of Qin Shi Huang, there is a more huge Afang Palace, to connect Xianyang Palace, Zhangtai Palace, Qutai Palace, Chang'an Palace and other palaces together, and finally form a huge palace group covering more than 300 miles, but this plan has not yet begun, because the task of the southern expedition and the northern war has not been completed, Qin Shi Huang is not yet deaf.

Therefore, although Xianyang and Chang'an are now full of palaces, they are not actually connected together, so the farmland and forests on both sides of the Wei River are also in patches.

After Chen Xu arrived at the factory, he did not go in, but waited at the door, and half an hour later, Meng Yi galloped with seven or eight domestic servants on horseback.

Because of the improvement of saddles and stirrups, these new harnesses have begun to become popular rapidly in Xianyang, and now there are a total of four saddle making workshops outside Xianyang City, producing a large number of civilian saddles for sale every day, and even in the bazaar in the south of the city, there is a workshop dedicated to installing horseshoes, although steel is in short supply at the moment, but there are still people with magical powers who can get it, such as Qinghe Hou, because that workshop is arranged by Qinghe Hou.

As for stirrups, they can be made with bronze, or even with bamboo strips or tree vine wood, and it is not necessary to use iron, so now whether it is the horse that Meng Yi rides or the horse on Chen Xu's mansion, they are also equipped with saddles, stirrups and horseshoes.

After the two groups of people converged, Chen Xu also abandoned the car and rode a horse, and only took Yu Wuya and Meng Yi to the west along the river.

Looking at the increasingly barren road and a large area of woods getting closer and closer, Meng Yi's face became more and more weird, and he couldn't help but ask while riding on his horse: "Qinghe Hou, it seems that there is an abandoned Hou Mansion in front of you, right?" ”

"Hehe, it turns out that Lord Meng knows, yes, Shang Qi was placed by me in this abandoned courtyard in Chang Yu!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"The Marquis of Qinghe is really cautious, this Changxin Houfu has been abandoned for nearly twenty years, because of Chang Yu's reasons, no minister doctor in Xianyang wants it, so it has been vacant, maybe it has been rotten, right?"

"Almost, many of the doors and windows have rotted, and some rooms have begun to collapse, but they are basically still intact, and it is still a good courtyard with a little repair!" Chen Xu nodded and asked curiously, "Lord Meng is very familiar with Chang Yu?" ”

Meng Yi nodded and shook his head: "Not familiar, Chang Yu was born lowly, after being dedicated to the Queen Mother by Lu Buwei, he lived in the harem in a simple place, and later the Queen Mother became pregnant, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the emperor, so she moved to live in the old palace of Yongcheng, and secretly gave birth to two sons, and Chang Yu was also named a long letter waiter, raising thousands of children and doormen, the power is getting worse, and the contradiction between Lu Buwei is getting deeper and deeper, and then Chang Yu claims to be a false father caused His Majesty's anger, and later when His Majesty went to Yongcheng to crown the ceremony, Chang Yu tried to rebel, After being defeated by His Majesty's secret arrangement, the car was split outside the Xianyang Palace, and the three clans of Chang Yu were also killed, and then Lü Buwei was also demoted out of Xianyang and distributed to Shudi, when these things happened, the old man was only twenty years old at the time, and he was just a school captain, and he had no intersection with Chang Yu Lü Buwei, but he often saw Chang Yu's huge guard of honor coming and going between Yongcheng and Xianyang, and he was still envious at that time......

The two rode their horses and said that Yu Wuya and several guards were separated by more than ten zhang guards, and soon came to the outside of Chang Yu's courtyard, and the two Hou Mansion guards guarding the door hurriedly greeted him.

"Everybody's waiting outside!" Meng Yi dismounted and gave an order, and followed Chen Xu into the abandoned mansion.

Half an hour later, the two of them came out together, and then rode away together, and the deserted mansion was once again lonely and quiet.

Returning to the gate of the factory again, Meng Yi, who had never spoken all the way, looked at Chen Xu with a calm face and said, "Qinghe Hou, as long as Shang Qi is willing to testify, the old man will definitely bring Zhao Gao down, do you really plan to keep Shang Qi down?" ”

"Yes, Zhao Gao colluded with Shang Tu and Ao Ping to harm me, now all the families are ruined, and the merchants have fallen to this point, if Shang Qi is allowed to go to the court to testify against Zhao Gao, he will inevitably end up in the disaster of destroying the three clans, I can't bear to see it, and Shang Qi doesn't know the truth and the reason, for the people of Meng, it doesn't mean much whether he testifies or not, right?" Chen Xu said with a calm face.

Meng Yi was silent for a long time and then said: "Now that the reform of the court has just begun, Your Majesty's mind is mainly on this matter, the old man is also busy, and Zhao Gao is also stable, so the old man suggested that he should start after the restructuring stops, what does Qinghe Hou think?" ”

"Hehe, I'm not in a hurry!" Chen Xu smiled and nodded.

"Qinghe Hou stays, farewell!" Meng Yi's face twitched lightly, and he took a few guards to ride his horse and whip towards the north gate of Xianyang.

The meal that Chen Xu invited today, it can be said that Meng Yi was in a mood of ups and downs, and the delicate little tea lady who showed her big white legs didn't get it, but she got a fatal errand, and he couldn't refuse an errand.

After reading Shang Tu's confession and going to meet Shang Qi to ask and confront, Meng Yi no longer had the slightest doubt about what Chen Xu said at the dinner table.

Zhao Gao turned out to be a Mo disciple, which he never expected.

Zhao Gao's origin Meng Yi is very clear, although he was also born in the royal family, but that is already the identity of the three generations of Qin kings before, his mother was abolished as a cheap slave, Zhao Gao was born a slave, but Qin Shi Huang did not trust outsiders very much after the government, I heard that Zhao Gao was diligent and proficient in the law, so he restored his identity to the royal family, filed in the Zongzheng Mansion, and successively let him serve as the servant and Lang Zhongling and other Jiuqing positions, and finally promoted to the CRRC Mansion Order in charge of the emperor's edict and jade seal, but it was when the CRRC Mansion Order, Zhao Gao actually privately stamped the emperor's seal on a remote place to seal himself 3,000 households, after the matter was exposed, Qin Shi Huang was furious, put him in the prison of the court governor's mansion, and let Meng Yi interrogate and dispose of it, so Meng Yi beheaded according to the law, but before the execution, Zhao Gao begged bitterly, Qin Shi Huang relented for a moment and pardoned his capital crime, and the official was reinstated.

It was because of the big boss Qin Shi Huang who threw the resurrection scroll indiscriminately, causing Zhao Gao to escape and die, not only hating Meng Yi to the bone, but also killing all the descendants of Qin Shi Huang in the end, becoming the culprit of the collapse of Great Qin.

And Liu Xiang, the editor of "Warring States Policy", pointed out bluntly: "Qin Xin has the same surname (that is, the clan, here refers to Zhao Gao) as the king, and until his decline, he is not easy to have the same surname, and the country dies." Therefore, the rule of the king lies in the practice of the law, not in the belief in the same surname. ”

The meaning of this sentence is that Qin Shi Huang believed too much in Zhao Gao's royal clan and ignored the real rule of law, and only imposed the law on ordinary people, but did not really govern the country according to law, which led to the death of the country.

What happened later was that Chen Xu knew, but Meng Yi didn't know, but this did not prevent Chen Xu from using it to scare Meng Yi.

In fact, it is not a scare, but a reason with facts, and big data is used to analyze Zhao Gao's life trajectory and historical trend.

And Meng Yi naturally knew that what Chen Xu said must be exaggerated, but according to his understanding of Zhao Gao, for the indissoluble hatred between the two, what Chen Xu said was almost a matter of course.

As long as Zhao Gao's strategy succeeds, the entire Mengshi clan will inevitably suffer.

And for Meng Yi, a person who has been deeply involved in the court for several generations and is in the position of Shangqing, he is absolutely very fresh in his mind between Zhao Gao's death and his own death, and he will never press the wrong button.

Therefore, whether Chen Xu is using him, or he is for the lives of the three Mengshi clans, he must take the hot potato thrown by Chen Xu, no matter how unpalatable it is, he has to close his eyes and grit his teeth to gnaw it.

Because what Chen Xu said is right.

Chen Xu is a disciple of the immortal family, as long as Zhao Gao has no evidence to prove that Chen Xu is an imposter for a day, he must endure it, and the emperor should know this identity best, otherwise there will be no Chen Xu's transcendent status in the court in Xianyang, so Meng Yi naturally believes that Chen Xu is a disciple of the immortal family, and even if the disciple of the immortal is a piece of, mortals have to worship it, so as to absorb a little immortal energy from above, so even if Zhao Gao succeeds in rebellion, Chen Xu will leave Xianyang at most, Then go to Funiu Mountain to find a place to live in seclusion, there will be no loss and danger to life, but Montessori is different, the family is big and the business is big and they are all ordinary people, Zhao Gao will not have half a psychological burden when he kills, and he will never get tired of it.

Seeing Meng Yi quickly disappear into the undulating farmland and woods, Chen Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This hot potato finally allowed him to find a next home to take over.
