Chapter 436: Marry Your Daughter
Chen Xu walked out of the court hall, looked at the civil and military officials who dispersed one after another, and waited until Meng Yi came out, then he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Thank you Lord Meng for helping to explain!" ”
Meng Yi's cheeks twitched a few times and said, "Even if the old man doesn't explain, His Majesty will agree!" ”
"Hehe, that's different, the help must be thankful, how about I invite Lord Meng to eat in Qinghe Garden at noon?" Chen Xu said with a smile.
"Great goodness!" Meng Yi's face instantly burst into laughter.
Li Si and Feng Quji came out of the court hall almost side by side, the two put on their boots at the door, and then looked at Meng Yi and Chen Xu who left together, and after glancing at each other, Feng Quji gave up his hand and prepared to leave.
"Lord Feng stays!" Li Si stopped Feng Quji.
"What did Li Xiang say?" Feng Quji's face was flat, and he asked.
"I didn't have any selfish intentions about burning books, but now it puts me in a dilemma, Feng Xiang also thinks that an old man is confused to make this decision?" Li Si said with a somewhat ugly face.
"Why should Li Xiang be so decadent, yesterday's dispute, Qinghe Marquis may not be selfish, but I have read the newspapers sold on the street today before the early dynasty, and carefully read Xun Qing's "Minister's Road", and found that many of them made me suddenly, Xun Qing really deserved to be the great sage at that time. And Li Xiang takes Xun Qing as his teacher, listens to his words, watches his deeds, gets his courtesy, and understands his righteousness, so that he has today's glory and wealth, and the theory of human ministers: there are ministers, there are usurpers, there are meritorious ministers, and there are holy ministers...... The inner foot makes a people, the outer foot makes it difficult to distance, the people are close to it, the scholars believe it, they are loyal to the king, and they love the people tirelessly, and they are also heroes. The upper can respect the king, the lower can love the people, the government decree is edified, the punishment is like a shadow, the pawn is changed, the Qi is given like a ring, and the class is honored, so as to wait for no way, and the image is bent, and it is a holy minister. Therefore, the king who uses the holy ministers, and the strong ...... the meritorious ministers"
Although he only got the newspaper in the morning and glanced at it in a hurry, Feng Qujian had a superb memory, and directly memorized the "Chendao" article published in the newspaper, and after memorizing, Feng Quji stopped talking.
Li Si looked at the layers of palaces and city walls in the distance, and after a long time, he sighed and said to Feng Quji: "Thank you Feng Xiang for forgiveness, the old man used to think that he was comparable to Yin Yi and Taigongwang, and could be a holy minister, but now it seems that Zibi may not even be as good as Guan Zhongsun Shuao, and he can't even be a hero. ”
"I'm afraid we can't do it, but maybe we can still be a virtuous minister, if the virtuous minister can't do it, then be a meritorious minister, in short, we can't be a state minister, let alone a usurper, Daqin can have today's situation, you and I are witnesses, Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, since he is in a phase, he will never allow anyone to destroy him, if so, Feng will definitely be blocked, Li Xiang, Feng will take a step first, farewell!" After Feng Qujian finished speaking, he bowed his hand, and swayed down the steps with his big sleeves.
"Master, did the disciple really do something wrong!" Li Si looked up to the sky and sighed, a trace of decadence appeared on his thin cheeks, and he seemed to be more than ten years old.
Chen Xu naturally disdained to guess Li Si's doubts, and at this time, he and Meng Yi had already driven to Qinghe Park and warmly received Meng Yi in their exclusive reception room.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, under Meng Yi's full expectation, two maids brought in two bamboo baskets, one of which contained several fried golden cylindrical pancakes stacked together, which were also rolled with verdant and attractive mountain vegetables and egg skins, and the other bamboo basket contained several round dough cakes, which were cut in the middle and placed with sauce meat and tender green onion leeks.
"Lord Meng, please!" Chen Xu smiled and reached out to pick up a steamed bun with sauce and meat to eat.
Meng Yi was stunned for a long time, his mouth grew several times, and finally he couldn't help but say, "Qinghe Hou, this is the meal you invited me to eat today?" ”
"Yes!" Chen Xu nodded while eating, and after a few bites, most of the meat sandwich buns in his hand were missing, and he also reminded hesitantly, "Master Meng, hurry up, this donkey meat should be eaten while it is hot, the dough is crispy, and the marinated donkey meat is fragrant and delicious......"
Chen Xu finished eating a donkey meat, and then reached out and took a golden thin noodle roll, and after a bite, the soup dripped from the noodle roll to his hand, and quickly put his hand to his mouth to lick it clean, and said while licking: "Master Meng, this spring roll is also delicious......
Meng Yi almost cried, his face twitched for a long time and sighed, and he reached out with a black face and took a donkey meat to burn.
Qinghehou has a treat, no matter what, this face is to be given, but the depression in his heart is not easy to say, he feels a feeling of being deceived.
"Click~Hmm!" Meng Yi took a bite of donkey meat and burned it, his face changed in an instant, and he only felt that a fragrant marinade of donkey meat in the crispy dough instantly melted in his mouth, and he suddenly felt that his soul had a feeling of wanting to fall into it.
"Hmm...... Fragrant...... It is indeed fragrant and crispy...... Delicious...... The peerless delicacy is also ......" Meng Yi praised loudly while eating, and he didn't care about the marinade dripping onto his beard and placket, and he ate it in a few bites, and then couldn't wait to reach out and pick up a spring roll.
According to the experience of the last meal, since Chen Xu said that it is delicious, then every dish should be delicious, but don't just eat roast duck and ignore other delicious foods like last time.
Sure enough, at the entrance of the spring rolls, Meng Yi couldn't help but praise them again, a spring roll with fried eggs and vegetable sauce was also eaten in three or five bites, and then he couldn't wait to pick up a donkey meat and burn it.
Chen Xu also ate two fire roasts and two spring rolls in one go, and then began to drink a bowl of boiled millet porridge slowly with a porcelain spoon.
Twenty minutes later, Chen Xu sat leisurely on the chair drinking tea and picking his teeth, while Meng Yi leaned back on the big chair, rubbing his belly and burping, but he still looked at the two empty bamboo baskets with an unsatisfied expression.
"Lunch is not a main meal, this donkey meat fire and spring rolls are the best food, it is convenient and quick to eat!" Chen Xu said with a smile.
"What Qinghe Hou said is very true, not only is it convenient to eat, but also delicious, and when you are hungry in the government office, these are two excellent hunger-filling foods, which are more delicious than those cold, hard and dry pastries!" Meng Yi couldn't help but nod.
The two chatted for a few words, and after drinking a cup of tea, Meng Yi tidied up his clothes and sat down and said, "Qinghehou invited the old man to eat this delicious meal, is there something to ask the old man to help?" ”
"It's not for me!" Chen Xu's face became slightly serious after he sat down, "I just want to ask Lord Meng, more than a month has passed since I got Shang Tu's confession last time, and I don't know how Lord Meng arranged it!" ”
Meng Yi's face instantly became serious, and he muttered for a while and said: "Qinghe Hou, it's not that the old man doesn't want to bring down Zhao Gao, but that confession alone can't solve the problem once and for all, I'm really afraid that once the snake doesn't die, if Zhao Gao is activated by His Majesty again, my Mengshi will definitely be in a deep crisis, but Qinghe Hou rest assured, since the old man promised to meddle in this matter, he will definitely not give up halfway, the contradiction between me and Zhao Gao is just as Qinghe Hou said, sooner or later there will be a time when the poor dagger will see, either he dies or I die, There will definitely be no second result, the old man has been collecting evidence of Zhao Gao's bad intentions recently, and he is also waiting for an opportunity......"
"What time are you waiting?" Chen Xu asked suspiciously.
"Zhao Gao's power in the court is very great, in addition to the emperor's favor, among the ministers of the Shaofu Zhao Wei, Wenjing Hou Yao Cuo, Taishi Ling Hu Wujing are all friendly with him, and now he also controls the Ministry of Rites Fengchang, Zongzheng, Tai Servant, Pawn Siqing, these people are all in the court for many years, and each other is close to each other, if Zhao Gao is moved and there is no sufficient certainty, it will inevitably be jointly defiled for slander, although the old man controls the supervision of the world's hundreds of officials, but it is not possible to cover the sky with one hand, the emperor can not get over this hurdle, In fact, the old man has no way to take anyone, Qinghe Hou understands the difficulties of the old man? ”
Chen Xu sighed silently and nodded.
"Therefore, the old man has to collect enough evidence, and then take the opportunity of Zhao Gao to make a mistake......" Meng Yi looked at Chen Xu and said.
"Lord Meng is thoughtful, it seems that I am too anxious!" Chen Xu sighed again, feeling that the spring rolls and donkey meat that he had just eaten began to distend, and he was a little indigestion, as uncomfortable as Zhao Gao arching in his stomach.
"Qinghe Hou is not in a hurry, the old man has now mastered some evidence, he just needs to wait for the opportunity?"
"I wonder what evidence Lord Meng has?" Chen Xu's spirit was shocked and he hurriedly asked.
"Hehe, last time you said that Shang Tu wrote a confession in prison and hid it under the floor tiles, the old man was inspired to go to Tingwei Prison to secretly search Ao Ping's cell, and found the same confession, the content is similar to Shang Tu, the comparison between the two can further confirm that Zhao Gao is indeed ill-intentioned, and the old man also personally searched Shang Tu and Ao Ping's mansion, and each seized more than a dozen letters exchanged between the three people, proving that the three people have repeatedly and closely contacted, which can confirm that the three may indeed have colluded, However, these are only circumstantial evidence, so the old man arranged for people to track down important people such as the housekeepers of the former Shangtu and Ao Ping Mansions, but these people were all assigned to the border wasteland, and now there is no news back, but now it is mid-spring, and the roads in the northwest counties have also begun to be smooth, and it is fast to come! ”
"Master Meng is really scheming, Xu admires!" Chen Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
"I'm afraid it's not the old man who is scheming!" Meng Yi rolled his eyes at Chen Xu angrily.
"Hehe, those who can work harder, this is what Lord Meng does, if a villain like Zhao Gao is allowed to be in the high hall, once he really succeeds in his rebellion, Lord Meng will die at that time!" Chen Xu laughed dryly and picked up the teacup.
"You ......" Meng Yi's face jumped a few times, and then his face suddenly relaxed and said: "Qinghe Hou, I found that you and the old man's personality is very similar, so the old man decided to marry his daughter to you......"
