After Li Yuanfang investigated the surname of the visitor from the Meng Mansion, Xiao Rui knew that it was related to the characters who came to the system, and he wanted to meet immediately, but who knew that Mo Liangchen suddenly sent a message, and Huang Qilin ordered the dead soldiers of the Qin State to be ready to assassinate at any time.

There was a visitor from the Meng Mansion in the front, and Huang Qilin was preparing to assassinate him, how could there be such a coincidence, it seems that this visitor from the Meng Mansion is also inseparable from Huang Qilin.

I have to say that Huang Qilin is scheming, if he wants to assassinate Xiao Rui, it is naturally impossible to break into the palace, he can only find a way to lure Xiao Rui out, and he must prepare for assassination in advance, so that he can be foolproof.

So what can be done to lure Xiao Rui out quietly and without suspicion?

Naturally, it is what it likes!

Now there are not many things that can attract Xiao Rui's attention and go out of the palace to see them, beauty is no longer good, and men with talent and skills are almost the same.

Anyone with a smart mind can see that Xiao Rui is in charge of the six ministries in charge of the affairs of the country, and has been grasping the construction of the six ministries, and now Yang Feiyuan, the secretary of the household department in the six ministries, is a small problem, although he is talented, but his identity restricts his thinking and decision-making, and has become a constraint for him to exert his talents, Xiao Rui has long wanted to replace him.

With the more and more serious natural disasters, the role of the household department is becoming more and more important, to replace Yang Feiyuan, we must choose a talented person, rather than indiscriminate, this is the basic condition.

Therefore, Xiao Rui needs a talented candidate for the secretary of the ministry, this is his appeal.

Since this is the case, then Huang Qilin will do what he likes, introduce him to a talented person, and look at the praise of Master Meng: With Wang Zuo's talent, he can make the merit of the society!

Who is Old Master Meng? The dean of Yuewen Academy, the enlightenment teacher of Emperor Xia that year, Xiao Rui received the kindness of Master Meng when he was not the prince, and he had great respect for him.

He praised talented people, how could Xiao Rui let it go? will inevitably visit the Meng Mansion in person, this is Corporal Lixian, and it is also a respect for Master Meng.

And Xiao Rui went to Meng Mansion, although there will be personal guards to protect him, but in order to be low-key and respectful, he will not appear to be Meng Lang, and he will definitely not bring too many personal guards! It's a given.

Therefore, Huang Qilin only needed to wait for Xiao Rui to assassinate when he went to the Meng Mansion, and he seized the best opportunity!

I have to say that Huang Qilin's calculations are interlocking, if Xiao Rui hadn't seen all this earlier, he might really fall into his trap.

Since he knew about Huang Qilin's conspiracy, Xiao Rui would wait for the time being, and he would not be in a hurry to meet the descending figure for a while.

At the end of the next morning, when Xiao Rui left the Baohe Palace, Meng Tianhai, who was a scholar and a scholar, suddenly caught up with Xiao Rui and said with a smile: "Your Highness, please stay." ”

Xiao Rui stopped, pretending to be curious: "It turned out to be Lord Meng!" Is there something wrong with Lord Meng? ”

Meng Tianhai nodded and said: "Your Highness, Meng Tiannan, the brother of Weichen, ordered Weichen to ask His Highness for peace, and set up a banquet in the evening. ”

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Old Master Meng has the grace of teaching to this palace, please ask Master Meng to tell the old man that he will arrive in this palace at night." In addition, one more question, could it be that there is a happy event in the Meng Mansion? ”

Meng Tianhai explained: "It's not a happy event, it's my brother who wants to introduce a friend to His Royal Highness, this person has the ability to strategize, and he has learned it, if he is willing to serve Daxia, it will be a blessing for the people of Daxia." But this person has a special background, he is an old minister of Zhao State, and this person has no intention of becoming an official in the court, so his brother set up this dinner party and asked His Royal Highness to move to meet this person. ”

"I see! This palace likes Corporal Lixian the most, and Daxia also needs talented people the most, and this palace arrives at your mansion on time at the end of the year. Xiao Rui responded.

Meng Tianhai arched his hand and said: "Weichen is waiting for His Highness!" ”

Xiao Rui smiled, and then got up and went back to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Meng Tiannan and Meng Tianhai are naturally not bad people, they are both Huang Qilin's pawns! Huang Qilin knew Meng Tiannan's character, for the sake of Great Xia, he must want to keep that person as an official in Great Xia, but that person has no intention of officialdom, and if he wants to convince him, he must show enough respect.

And what could be more sincere than Corporal Crown Prince Lixian?

Therefore, Meng Tiannan set up a banquet to win nine out of ten.

Of course, this is Xiao Rui's speculation, Huang Qilin must still have actions to ensure that Meng Tiannan will set up a banquet, all in all, his purpose is to not let Xiao Rui suspect and lure Xiao Rui out of the palace.

Xiao Rui will plan everything, and even say when he will be there, and then wait to watch the show.

As Xiao Rui expected, Huang Qilin learned the time of Xiao Rui's arrival in the Meng Mansion through the channel, and then he immediately sent someone to inform the dead soldiers of the Qin State.

Before noon, Mo Liangchen and the others received a message, telling them to get ready, ready to set off, disguised as merchants, to keep hidden, and at the same time gave them a place to meet, which was a mansion, just next to the Meng Mansion.

However, Mo Liangchen has never seen Huang Qilin, which shows Huang Qilin's cunning and is very careful about his safety.

When the time soon came, Xiao Rui changed into casual clothes and left the palace, so that Li Yuanfang only brought a dozen iron dragon riders and guards, and the carriages and horses they rode were very ordinary, and they were like ordinary magnates in the streets, and they couldn't see that it was the prince's honor guard at all.

The carriage stopped at the Meng Mansion without hurrying, and then Li Yuanfang stepped forward and knocked on the door, the Meng Mansion steward opened the door, and saw a group of people wearing ordinary clothes, and when they wanted to drive away, Li Yuanfang took out the waist card of the prince's personal guard.

The steward hurriedly went to report, and it didn't take long for Meng Tianhai to leave the house in a hurry.

"Your Highness is blessed with Jin'an, your majesty has lost her welcome, and I hope Your Highness will forgive your sins." Meng Tianhai didn't expect the prince to come so low-key this time, and he didn't order someone to pass it on in advance, so that he couldn't leave the house in advance to wait, which was rude.

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "This palace has always disliked the tediousness of cleaning the street, since I came to visit the master in Mengfu, it is still so good." ”

Meng Tianhai knew the relationship between his brother and the crown prince, and then said with a smile: "Your Highness, please enter the mansion, my brother has a bad leg and foot, and he can't go out of the mansion to greet him." ”

"How can you let the master go out of the house to greet him, don't mess around." Xiao Rui followed him into the palace and said as he walked.

At the same time, the scene of Xiao Rui entering the Meng Mansion was also seen by those who were secretly peeping.

In another secluded house, Huang Qilin is hiding here waiting for news.

It didn't take long for the person who had just peeped to return and tell Huang Qilin the details of the situation.

"Have you checked all the five streets outside Mengfu? Are you sure there are no princes' personal guards, forbidden troops, or patrol battalions? Huang Qilin asked.

The subordinate replied: "Back to the master, I have checked it out, and I am sure that there is no one." The prince came in a micro-suit, and only brought fifteen personal guards, including Li Yuanfang! ”

"Good!"

Huang Qilin patted his thigh and stood up, a smile appeared on his face.

Carefully set up this ring scheme, just to lure out Xiao Rui, who was not tightly guarded, and he really hit it.

Usually, when he goes out of the palace, he has a patrol camp to clean the streets, and there are a large number of forbidden troops and personal guards to protect him, so he can't assassinate him at all, but now this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"Have all those Qin dead soldiers arrived at the designated place?" Huang Qilin asked.

The subordinate said: "It's all gathered, fifty people are not a lot, is the master still going to meet them?" ”

Huang Qilin had seen this group of dead soldiers before entering Kyoto, and then came to Kyoto for safety, so he didn't see them again, at this moment, the assassination of Xiao Rui was imminent, and it was a critical moment. But Huang Qilin still chose not to see, very cautious.

"Nope! You go to meet them for me and tell them that after entering the Meng Mansion, don't fall in love with the war, and directly kill Xiao Rui is the most important thing! Huang Qilin instructed.

"Yes!" The subordinate immediately left.

Mo Liangchen stayed in the house with Mo Zhan and the other dead soldiers, waiting for this assassination mission, and the time had passed, and the sky had already darkened.

Huang Qilin's subordinates rushed over, Mo Liangchen didn't see Huang Qilin was disappointed, Xiao Rui gave him the task of capturing or killing Huang Qilin, but he didn't expect the assassination task to be close at hand, Huang Qilin was still so cautious.

At this time, in the Mon Mansion.

Xiao Rui first went to meet Master Meng.

Meng Tiannan's legs and feet were inconvenient, and he couldn't get off the ground anymore, but his spirit was okay, and when he saw the prince coming, he hurriedly sat up and talked to Xiao Rui.

At that time, Zhao Gaogao of the Inner Court Division relied on him to help because the palace made things difficult for Xiao Rui, and because of that time, Xiao Rui and Master Meng had a close relationship, and Xiao Rui would take the time to come to see him every year.

After chatting with Meng Tiannan for a while, Meng Tianhai led an old man into the house.

Seeing that his age is slightly older than Meng Tianhai, he should be about sixty years old, although he is already at the age of ear shun, but the old man is in good spirits, a pair of eyes are bright, and no one has reached the twilight of his old age.

After he entered the house, he saw Xiao Rui and smiled and signaled. This meeting was arranged by Meng Tiannan privately, and he did not tell the old man in advance.

Meng Tiannan sat on the bed and introduced with a smile: "Your Highness, this gentleman is from the west of Qijiang, his surname is Du, his name is Qiao, and his name is Xuanling, he is my best friend!" ”

Sure enough, it's you!

Fang Xuanling in the house plot!

The system is the character of Xiao Rui's arrival!

There is no need for a system introduction, Xiao Rui also knows Fang Xuanling's skills, the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and the famous Ming Xiang in the early Tang Dynasty in his previous life!

Coming to such a famous minister, for Xiao Rui, God helps me! Not to mention letting Fang Xuanling serve as the head secretary of the household department, it is a piece of cake to let him be the first assistant of the cabinet.

Xiao Rui pretended to be calm, and then shouted, "Mr. Fang is polite!" ”

When Fang Xuanling heard Meng Tiannan call the young man in front of him "His Royal Highness", he knew that he was a member of the royal family, so he couldn't help but ask: "I don't know Taishan with my eyes, and I don't know what His Highness's identity is..."

Meng Tianhai on the side introduced in a low voice: "Brother Fang, this is His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Prince?" Fang Xuanling was taken aback, he didn't expect the prince of Great Xia to be in person, so he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Xiao Rui stretched out his hand to hold up Fang Xuanling, and said with a smile: "Mr. Fang is polite, I heard that Mr. has the talent of Wang Zuozhi, and he can be determined by Sheji, so the palace rushed impatiently to ask to see Mr., which made Mr. smile." ”

Fang Xuanling felt Xiao Rui's respect and respect, and he was greatly moved, but he smiled and didn't say anything.

Meng Tiannan took the opportunity to ease the awkward atmosphere and said, "It's not early, let's start the dinner." ”

So everyone moved, and taking advantage of this effort, Meng Tianxing told Xiao Rui in detail about Fang Xuanling's origin and situation.
