Chapter 1188: Who's Darker Than Whom
Since he has entered the city, he must still take Meng Wan back to her parents' house to have a look, and at the same time, Chen Xu also has some things to discuss with Meng Yi.
Back to the current Zuo Xiangfu to wash up, the family simply had a lunch and rested for half an hour, went out to send the servant who came back to report, the imperial doctor had returned to the house in spring, Chen Xu then ordered to carry the prepared gifts into the car, and set off with Meng Wan holding her daughter Yanxia, and before leaving, let Shui gently arrange for someone to go to the Qinghe Theater to invite Shi Xuan and Wanwan to the mansion.
Meng Yi learned that Chen Xu came to visit, and took the family to welcome him outside the house in person, Meng Yun took the fourth princess and her daughter to be there, Meng Wan and her sister-in-law who had not seen each other for a long time were naturally overjoyed, and gave some soap and moisture to her sister-in-law, and then the two sisters-in-law took their daughters to the backyard to find their mother to talk about some topics between women.
And Chen Xu accompanied Meng Yi to the guest hall to drink tea and chat, after a few words, Chen Xu took Meng Yun away, and asked him to go to his Qinghe Marquis Mansion to pull some carrots back and feed the horses, and after Meng Yun left, Meng Yi asked with a serious face with a teacup: "Does the virtuous son-in-law have something to discuss with the old man?" ”
"Yes!" Chen Xu nodded slightly.
"You all stand down, watch the doors and windows, no one is allowed to enter the hall!" Meng Yi waved his hand and ordered, waiting for a group of domestic servants and maids to exit the living room before speaking, "Let's talk about something directly!" ”
Chen Xu put down the teacup and asked with a serious face: "The son-in-law wants to know how much the father-in-law knows about the Chunfang Garden of Jianhou?" ”
Meng Yi couldn't help frowning and muttered for a moment before speaking: "Didn't the old man already say last time, the house was built and vacant for a long time, so at a banquet he mentioned that he wanted to use this house to open a home, but he didn't have the money to decorate and buy the singer and dancer, so he asked me if I would like to invest and make a fortune together, it just so happened that the old man has made a lot of money in Jiangxi porcelain factory in recent years, and has not found a new investment project, so he agreed to invest 300,000, Qi Tang and Shen Gongyan are also willing to invest 100,000 yuan each, the situation is like this, Why, do you suspect that there is another mystery in this matter? ”
"Not bad!" Chen Xu nodded slightly, "Last time, Zhao Gao and Hu Hai went out of the palace late at night and took something from Zhao Gao's mansion, but Zhao Gao died, so I have no way of knowing what it was that fell into Hu Hai's hands, but this matter is very likely to bring chaos to Daqin in the future. ”
Meng Yi shook his head slightly and said: "The situation in the palace is complicated, the old man can't interfere with Wei Wei and Shaofu, so there is very little news, judging from the news he gets, Hu Hai lives in a simple place on weekdays and hardly communicates with outsiders, and for the time being, he can't find out what he took from Zhao Gao's mansion?" ”
"Then does my father-in-law remember the last time I sweated and sweated?"
"Son-in-law mean that square gambling fight?" Meng Yi was stunned for a moment and asked.
"Yes, when we talked about sweat and blood in Chunfangyuan, only the three of us knew, and Hu Hai said it when the next day was fighting, since Yuezhang denied that he did not inform Hu Hai, then only Jiancheng Hou told him!"
"Yes, the old man really didn't tell anyone about the bloody BMW, if it was Zhao Hai who told Hu Hai, it was normal, after all, the two of them are royalty, and the relationship is relatively close!" Meng Yi nodded slightly.
"Today I took my family into the palace to accompany Your Majesty to enjoy the spring, and when I went, it happened that Chengcheng Hou and Hu Hai were also there, and the two were playing chess with Your Majesty, and the relationship seemed to be very harmonious!" Chen Xu suddenly changed to a topic that seemed unrelated.
Meng Yi's face instantly became solemn, and he twisted his beard and muttered for a long time before speaking: "You mean that Zhao Hai wants to support Hu Hai as the crown prince?" ”
Chen Xu nodded, "Only this explanation is more reasonable." ”
"The eldest and youngest are orderly, the concubines are different, Hu Hai is the youngest among all the sons, and it stands to reason that he has the least chance to become the prince......"
"I have no way of knowing Your Majesty's thoughts, but I have said before, Your Majesty's catastrophe is imminent, and if you don't set up a prince for a day, then any prince has a chance, Zhao Gao and Li Si have both been Hu Hai's teachers, and subtly Hu Hai is very suspicious and even hateful to Montessori and me, not to mention that everything needs to be arranged in advance, and preparations can only be invincible in the future, no matter how Zhao Hai and Hu Hai plan, we can't turn a blind eye to this matter, we should take action!" Chen Xu said.
"Yes, this matter is indeed full of suspicions, what do you want the old man to do?" Faced with this uncontrollable matter, Meng Yi lowered his identity for the first time and began to ask for Chen Xu's arrangement.
"Since the father-in-law has shares in Chunfangyuan, this may also be Zhao Hai's means to win over the father-in-law and Qi Tangshen Gongyan, so the son-in-law thinks that the father-in-law can use this identity to insert some undercover ......"
"What is an undercover agent?" Meng Yi looked up suspiciously.
"The undercover agent is a secret agent, the identity requires innocence and cleanliness, and it also requires boldness and carefulness, and Zhao Hai and others can find out some inside information, and the father-in-law manages the imperial history of the world, and what he does is this kind of shady business, so the son-in-law thinks that the father-in-law must arrange it himself!" Chen Xu explained while drinking tea.
"Fart, when did the old man do the shady thing!" Meng Yi glared at Chen Xu, then tugged at his beard and nodded, "But what you said is right, this matter should indeed be planned, Zhao Hai can even eat soap, he should be a ruthless person, you really have to be careful!" ”
Chen Xu's face twitched a few times.
Zhao Hai had only been eating soap in the palace for more than an hour, but he didn't expect Meng Yi to already know about it, which shows that the heavily guarded palace is like a sieve for these powerful tycoons, and there is no secret at all.
"Look at what the old man is doing, it's not a secret that Zhao Hai eats soap in the imperial garden, hundreds of palace people and guards see it!" Meng Yi pursed his lips disdainfully.
Well, you win!
Chen Xu withdrew his gaze from Meng Yi's face.
"If you want to secretly install an undercover agent in Chunfangyuan, the old man must not be able to intervene in person, and he needs to arrange someone else to do it, and he also needs to find a suitable person, so as not to arouse the suspicion of Zhao Hai and others, the most important thing is that these servants must be good enough to attract the attention of Zhao Hai and other princes and princesses, otherwise ordinary maids will not even be able to enter the door, let alone accompany and serve left and right......" Meng Yi looked at the bright sunshine outside the lobby and groaned.
"Don't worry about this matter, the son-in-law has already thought of a plan that will inevitably attract Zhao Hai's attention, and then the father-in-law only needs to arrange someone to spread the news!"
"Don't swallow and spit if you have a plan, let's talk about it, let's talk about it!" Meng Yi glanced at Chen Xu very unhappily, and then couldn't help but move his ass back to get away from Chen Xu.
Meng Yi remembered very clearly the experience of interrogating Yan Le at night, the various strange processes and unbelievable methods designed by Chen Xu made him eye-opening and creepy at the same time, until now he has not completely figured out Chen Xu's arrangements at the beginning, and in retrospect, he will even be a little involuntarily afraid, if Yan Le is replaced by himself that night, he does not dare to guarantee that he will not pee his pants.
From this, he came to the conclusion that generally speaking, when his son-in-law wants to deal with others, it is best to act as a partner, rather than an enemy, because Chen Xu's methods are not ordinary and indiscriminate, but very indiscriminate.
"Just like the abbot said just now, the person who is installed must be good enough to obtain enough useful information, so the son-in-law plans to secretly arrange for someone to hold an Oiran selection competition in Xianyang, and the specific operation is like this......"
In Meng Yi's chrysanthemum cold feeling, this son-in-law who was inferior to the three was surprised and surprised by a plan, and it was not inferior at all, on the contrary, it made him a little excited.
"Well, yes, Oiran tryouts, that's a good idea, haha...... The old man who said it was itchy in his heart...... "Meng Yi's eyebrows flew when he heard it, and he rubbed his hands again and again, feeling that his blood was flowing a lot more smoothly.
Chen Xu regretted a little after speaking, looking at the lewd expression of the old man, he was afraid that the undercover agent would be ruined by him before he entered Chunfangyuan.
"Uncle Yue, once the Oiran selection competition is over, these Oiran who have become famous among the people will be remembered by countless princes and princesses, and then you will instigate Zhao Hai to spend money to buy a few and put them in Chunfangyuan, under the seduction of this kind of top card effect, it will inevitably attract more princes and rich people to go to Chunfangyuan to spend money, and this will inevitably be in Zhao Hai's arms, we can find out who is close to Zhao Hai, what topics are discussed and other information......"
"Jiang Taigong fishes, the willing person takes the bait, the old man thinks it can be operated, but how can the virtuous son-in-law ensure that the selected famous singer can win the Oiran? In order to avoid suspicion, the old man can't ask for the bottom of the ranking to be bought into Chunfangyuan, right? ”
"Uncle Yue doesn't need to think too complicated, since the son-in-law is secretly preparing for the Oiran competition, he will inevitably let others come out on top, everything in the world seems to be fair, but there is another method called dark box operation!"
"What is a dark box operation?" Meng Yi once again expressed his doubts about this new term.
"The obscurator, just don't know to the audience, the Oiran competition seems to be fair, everything is on the bright side, each Quyuan can elect its own celebrities to participate in this competition, and the votes are all celebrities in the Quyuan industry, but in private, these celebrities can still spend money to buy it...... Why did the father-in-law look at his son-in-law with such eyes! ”
"The old man finally discovered that you are the darkest ...... in the entire court" Meng Yi looked at Chen Xuyun's light face.
"Uncle Yue don't want to interrupt, although it is a dark box operation, but it still can't be too obvious, so these elected top Oiran are not all the people I arranged, when the time comes, Uncle Yue will arrange people to contact Qinghe Theater, and you will know who can use it!" Chen Xu was too lazy to discuss the question of who was darker with the rogue father-in-law, in fact, there was no good bird who could stand in the court, and someone as pure as him would never be able to find a second one.
"Since the virtuous son-in-law has already made arrangements, he will handle it like this, and the old man will arrange for someone to contact Miss Wanwan at that time!"
"Then leave this matter to Uncle Yue, don't let go of any clues!"
"Hmph, rest assured, when did the old man make a mistake!" Meng Yi rolled his eyes unhappily.
