The emperor's meaning is very clear, Chen Xu is now blessed with two marquis titles, which is unprecedented in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, and even less in the Qin Dynasty.

Chen Xu himself was stunned, and he stayed for a long time before he came back to his senses and said, "Your Majesty, this ...... This is not in line with etiquette. ”

"It's true that it's not polite, but I can't treat my grandson badly!" Qin Shi Huang waved his hand.

Chen Xu stopped talking with black lines on his head.

It's not too embarrassing to say this, and the grandson who hasn't come from anywhere at the moment, not to mention that the grandson is so important in your eyes? Li You's wife and Meng Yun's wife are both your daughters, and you probably haven't seen the children you gave birth to.

After Qin Dada inspected the cement road, he drove back to the palace, and Chen Xu stood alone by the river for a long time, and then slowly figured out the joints.

Qin Shi Huang's greatest possibility was to take this opportunity to leave him in Xianyang.

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers, except for Wang Jian and his son, did not have any foreign officials' food within the scope of the Inner History Mansion, because the Inner History Mansion included Xianyang and dozens of surrounding counties, it was the location of the Great Qin Jingshi, and it was also where the cardinal was located, and the foreign ministers could not touch it, and several titled titles in the Inner History Mansion were all royal families surnamed Zhao, Jianhou Zhao Hai, Changwu Hou Zhao Cheng, Shaofu Ling Zhao Wei, and the exiled Zhao Gao, the former Chang'an Jun Chengjiao, etc., Even Li Sifeng, who went to Meng Yi, and many great heroes who assisted in the unification of Great Qin, could not get the fiefdoms within the scope of the Inner History Mansion, and at most they rewarded 100 hectares of land and manors around Xianyang.

Moreover, all the marquis of Daqin did not have a precedent of being knighted by the name of the county, whether it was Marquis Wu or Marquis Wen, the title was titled by the name of the place, which was the way of dividing the princes in the past, which was also the reason why Chen Xu and all the civil and military ministers were surprised.

That is to say, although Qin Shi Huang overthrew the Great Zhou Dynasty and established the pattern of the Great Qin to dominate the world, abolished the feudal system and changed it to the county system, and laid the imperial model of the central dynasty, but in fact, his heart is still the same as the Son of Heaven of the Zhou Dynasty, or only believes in his own people, and divides the surname Zhao near Xianyang, and all the heroes are divided in remote places.

It can be seen from Zhao Gao's incident this time that the emperor's trust in the clansmen has reached the point where people can't let go, if it weren't for the cooperation between Chen Xu and Meng Yi for months, I'm afraid it would not be easy to bring down Zhao Gao......

Chen Xu thought back to Zhao Gao's incident in his mind, and suddenly felt that the matter was not related to the need to reduce the punishment due to the autumn drought mentioned by Taibu, but there must be other reasons for it.

It seems that you have to find an opportunity to communicate with Meng Yi to figure out the reason, otherwise you may not be able to climb out of the pit next time!

"Congratulations to the marquis for becoming an official and marrying the fifth princess, his subordinates will definitely go to congratulate!" Zhang Cang and a group of craftsmen and craftsmen from the Academy of Sciences all came over to congratulate Chen Xu.

"Joy and joy, you have also been rewarded by His Majesty today, I hope you can work tirelessly, the location of the Weihe Bridge survey as soon as possible after the preparation of materials, if it can be repaired before the winter, next year will be a year of great strength of the Academy of Sciences, we want to build a Xianyang through Luoyang, Handan, Daliang, Linzi highway, once this road is repaired, Xianyang to Qi County land route is only five days, freight will save nearly 20 days on the basis of the present, but also will drive the development of business travel along the road, The whole Central Plains will flourish because of this road, let's go back to the Academy of Sciences for a meeting to discuss the preparation of the road construction department......"

Tempted by Chen Xu's blueprint of a beautiful highway scenery, Zhang Cang and a group of craftsmen and craftsmen from the Academy of Sciences excitedly surrounded Chen Xu to return to the Academy of Sciences.

At the end of the day, after Chen Xu came out of the Academy of Sciences, he returned to the Qinghe Marquis Mansion, found out the title deed of the manor outside the city that Li Xin gave him, and then arranged for a steward to invite Meng Yi to a banquet at the Qinghe Hotel in the middle of the afternoon with his own greeting post.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon.

The entrance of Qinghe Garden.

Meng Yi's four-bridle luxury Mercedes Benz arrived as promised under the escort of a group of guards with tigers on their backs.

Meng Yi was expressionless as always, and there was not the slightest joy, anger or sorrow on his face.

Chen Xu stood at the door against the big sun to greet him, and Meng Yi only bowed slightly to show politeness, his face was not good-looking, as if he felt that Chen Xu owed him millions of money.

What's going on with this old rascal today? When I was just by the river, I was still talking and laughing, why did I turn my face in a blink of an eye!

Chen Xu was inexplicable, but he was still very enthusiastic to welcome Meng Yi into his suite for picking up guests.

Greetings, sitting, serving tea, a few little maids came over to fan, and when they felt cooler, Chen Xu waved his hand and asked a few maids to leave to arrange a banquet.

"Why doesn't Montenegro look unhappy today?" Chen Xu finally couldn't help but ask.

"When did the old man become unhappy?" Meng Yi stroked his beard and said lightly.

Chen Xu's cheeks twitched a few times, how did this Nima let Lao Tzu answer, don't you know if you are happy? However, since he had a treat, as the host, he must not be cold, so he smiled and said: "Xu hasn't drunk and chatted with Lord Meng for a long time, and I just have free today, so I invite Lord Meng to have a banquet, and at the same time, I want to confirm with Lord Meng." ”

"What?" Meng Yi was still expressionless.

Chen Xu didn't bother to continue to talk to this old rascal, so he arched his hand and said: "It's about Zhao Gao, there must be some inside story later, did Master Meng ever know?" ”

Meng Yi picked up the teacup and said: "There is naturally an inside story, and the old man also knows a little, I heard that His Majesty summoned Zhao Hai, Marquis of Jiancheng, Zhao Cheng, Marquis of Changwu and other royal relatives to discuss, and then used Taibu's words to reduce Zhao Gao's guilt!" ”

Chen Xu pinched the teacup for a long time and shook his head with a wry smile: "Zhao Gao is such a serious crime, but His Majesty still doesn't kill him, if it goes on like this, it will only make the Manchu Dynasty civil and military cold, if it is not done by Ming Jun, this is the way to take trouble!" ”

Meng Yi didn't speak for a long time, and after taking a few sips of tea, he sighed: "Your Majesty's mind is difficult to figure out, and the old man thought that he could succeed in one fell swoop, but it's a pity that ...... We still underestimate Zhao Gao's connections in the court, more than ten years later, Zhao Gao has been rooted in countless henchmen in the court, and the royal family is also intricately implicated, you know, when Zhao Gao served as a servant of Jiuqing, the old man was just a school captain, when he served as the commander of the CRRC government, the old man became the imperial history of the Cheng, if it weren't for the accident eight years ago, why would the old man wade into this troubled water, dealing with the people of the royal family, is a taboo for our foreign officials, because of the disposal of any royal person, It may make other royal families feel frightened, let alone killed, do you know why Shang Ying was torn apart in the first place? It was because he was too heavy on the criminal law and did not respect the royal family, so he cut off Gongzi Qian's nose, so Qin Xiaogong died, Gongzi Qian immediately rebelled against Shang Ying, and all the royal families agreed to and supported Gongzi Qian's move, Shang Yingzhong rebelled and rebelled hastily, but was soon killed and then abandoned the city......"

Meng Yi said that he was silent for a long time before he continued: "So in dealing with Zhao Gao, the imperial family is actually holding together for warmth, and does not want to impose heavy punishments on the royal family because of our foreign ministers, and there will inevitably be a second and third time, which is what they are most afraid of, and there is that we planned the last time too completely, and there is no flaw or room for perfection, and when the dynasty arrested more than ten officials of the second grade, the third grade, and the fourth grade, this will inevitably cause the emperor's suspicion and vigilance......"

Chen Xu was stunned for a long time before shaking his head with a wry smile.

Meng Yi's words are very clear, the so-called excessive, that time in the court with the help of Zhao Zhe's matter like a storm to trample Zhao Gao and his henchmen all overturned, at that time it was dealt with too quickly and too quickly, not only the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were stunned, even the emperor had to be forced to express his stance to severely punish Zhao Gao, and in a fit of rage, the three clans and other serious crimes were all added, it was this kind of operation that was too complete and did not give the emperor room at all, so that the emperor would definitely have some scruples about Meng Yi's operation afterwards, Because he didn't know anything about all of Meng Yi's investigations, this was a sign of mutual distrust between the monarch and the minister.

Even if Qin Shi Huang could understand Meng Yi's approach, it did not mean that he liked the most important courtiers to operate behind his back.

What's more, that incident also involved Wang Qian, the imperial military god.

In other words, this was a premeditated move against the imperial family by several of his most trusted ministers.

Although Wang Jian only said one thing in the previous dynasty, it seems that it is not important in that matter, but Wang Qian's identity is the most feared.

Wang Jian retired and ignored any court affairs, but because of Wang Qingsleeve's affairs, he had to come forward to testify against Zhao Gao.

No matter how much Zhao Gao deserved to die for his crimes, the foreign ministers united to target the imperial family and even persecute the emperor, which would inevitably cause unease among all the imperial families.

An emperor who is accustomed to controlling everything suddenly finds that he has lost control of many things, which is bound to feel very aggrieved and angry.

Therefore, even if Zhao Gao is a capital crime that cannot be recovered, Qin Shi Huang still has to use his own attitude to express his anger, that is, no matter how anyone operates, the life and death of everyone is still controlled in his hands, and Zhao Gao's life or death is in his thoughts.

Excluding Zhao Gao's capital crime, it was just an attitude of the emperor to show his foreign ministers.

"Zhao Gao is not dead, the old man is not able to sleep and eat, but killing Zhao Gao will inevitably make His Majesty suspicious of the old man, this is the most difficult choice for the old man since he became the imperial doctor, Zhao Gao's exile to Shu this time is the best time to kill him, how did the Marquis of Qinghe arrange it?" Meng Yi turned his head to look at Chen Xu and asked.

"After the court discussion that day, I informed Shang Qi and Ma Teng of this matter, and at the same time secretly sent domestic servants to follow to Shudi, but there is no news back yet!" Chen Xu replied.

"In fact, at this end, Zhao Gao basically has no room to turn over, it doesn't matter if he dies or not, the important thing is another thing?" Meng Yi nodded.

"What?" Chen Xu asked suspiciously.

"When does the Marquis of Qinghe plan to marry the little girl Wan'er?"

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Chen Xu took a sip of tea and squirted out directly from his nostrils, and tears and snot came out.

Your family must have a grudge against Lao Tzu, and every time you drink tea, you will suddenly have such an exciting topic.
