Meng Yi learned that Wuxian had been assassinated, and hurriedly came to ask Wuqi about the specific situation, and after listening to Wuji's description, he got up and thought, "Could it be that the group of demons did it?"

Wuji shook his head and said: "Those people are mediocre, Jin Xingzi can deal with them alone, it will never be." ”

Meng Yi said: "It's not them, it's the remnants of the restoration, recently there are many remnants of the country who have infiltrated Xianyang, spreading rumors, looking for opportunities to assassinate officials in the DPRK and China, and the virtuous brother is an official in the DPRK, so he is naturally among them assassinated!"

Wu Jie said: "Those remnants of the lost country will never send so many mediocre people to assassinate, these people have no experience in assassination. ”

Meng Yi was shocked: "That virtuous brother means the people of the lieutenant's mansion? they want to assassinate the virtuous brother, there is no reason for this!"

Wu Barrier said: "Maybe it's because I offended those Confucian students in the Doctor's Palace in the court, they found some killers and looked for an opportunity to take revenge, but this is just a suspicion, and there is no conclusive evidence now." ”

"Although those doctors in the Doctor's Palace are usually arguing and arrogant, they are all some elegant people, and I don't see that they have anything to do with the people in the Lieutenant's Palace. ”

"It didn't matter in the past, but now I don't see it, just imagine, Your Majesty has not implemented the sub-feudal system now, and many heroes and generals are secretly indignant, and it is not impossible to do such things. ”

"But they are too bold, this is disobeying the law, forming a party for personal gain, excluding dissidents, and plotting to frame the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, to exterminate the nine clans!"

"If a person is timid, when there are more people, he will naturally be bold. ”

Meng Yi squinted his eyes slightly, slammed his fist on the tea table, and said fiercely: "Once it is verified, it will be severely punished!"

Wuji smiled and said: "The second brother's duty is to lead the palace, the security outside the palace is not easy to interfere with, it is better to ignore them, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, they did not succeed in assassinating this time, and they will not dare in the future." ”

"No, this matter can't be ended like this, early tomorrow morning, Brother Xian will go with me to find Tingwei, inform me of this matter, and let Tingwei come forward to deal with this assassination case, how can this be reasonable, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, dare to assassinate Brother Xian, I think they are going to turn around!" After speaking, he got up and left.

Wuxian expected to be right, the veteran Huan Qi had captured Zhao Pingyang, Wucheng, Zhao 100,000 troops were killed, and then Li Mu was defeated in Feicheng, fled back to Xianyang alone, since then nearly ten years have not been reused, not rewarded, only to be the general of Xianyang City, subordinate to the lieutenant's office, has a long grudge, often with the people of the Doctor's Palace, trying to implement the feudal system, get a piece of land, become a prince, no obstacle in the court to belittle Confucianism, advocate the implementation of the county system, not only offend the Confucian disciples of the Doctor's Palace, but also dash his hopes, is to be instigated, looking for revenge, it is really unwise.

However, there are more people who have been sinned by Wuxian in the court, and those courtiers who advocate the sub-feudal system have all been offended, and Wuxian has long known that he will face more and more enemies if he does not settle and rise again, and he will face more and more enemies, I just hope that they will not come together and give him a chance to breathe.

After Meng Yi left, he sat on the chair and thought hard, this day, very tired, chaotic, and very hurt.

It rained heavily in Xianyang City this night, and there was a strong wind, lightning and thunder, and the roar was endless.

In the early morning of the second day, the pavilion was washed fresh, the smoke was shrouded, the chaffinus was singing, the air was refreshing, the rain came and went quickly.

Wuxian came to the door of Li Si's mansion with Meng Yi, and after the ceremony, Li Si went out and greeted him with a smile: "The two adults come to visit early in the morning, there must be something urgent, please inside!"

Although Li Si's mansion is big, it is simple and simple, Meng Yi looked at the courtyard and said with a smile: "Lord Tingwei is going to be the prime minister, why is this mansion still so simple, this Daqin's face has been lost by Tingwei!"

Li Si smiled: "Those are just things outside the body, no matter how gorgeous the house is, it is only a three-foot bed, as long as you sleep, the bed is warm." ”

Meng Yi said: "Tingwei has devoted all his mind to political affairs, and he has done his best for Daqin, day and night!"

"Why isn't Lord Meng, as soon as the rain stopped, he came to find the old minister, I don't know what is urgent?" At this time, the three of them had entered the living room.

After the three of them sat down, Meng Yi told Li Si about the entire story of Wuji's assassination, and then told the object of suspicion together.

After hearing this, Li Si was silent for a moment, and then sighed: " To tell the truth, I have long hated them, I have nothing to do all day long, do not sing praises of virtue, and keep to myself, but use the past to satirize the present, discussing the gains and losses of the military and politics, what good policies, they can say a bunch of problems, but they can't come up with a practical way, from the court to the palace, from the palace to the streets, and then the entire Xianyang City is gathering people to discuss, so that the people of the whole world know about our affairs in the court, and become a topic of conversation after dinner, even the children who have just learned to speak can say a few words, and the style of discussing politics has become a tradition of my DaqinIf you don't take this style of politics seriously, the whole world will be restless, and the doctor will expose those hypocrites in the court, which is really happy, I wanted to invite the adults to come to the Burrow yesterday to discuss the national policy, but because His Majesty ordered the old ministers to enter the palace, the matter was delayed, the two came just right, today on this matter, we will discuss countermeasures together!"

Meng Yi said: "This kind of **** political atmosphere is indeed hateful, when my brother resisted the Huns, the court and China made a fuss, and the insults and slanders were unbearable, if there was no support from the court lieutenants and the old ministers, I am afraid that before the Huns were repelled, the head of the brother would be transported back to Xianyang!"

Li Si said: "If you want to fully implement the county system, you must first punish those hypocrites who are full of holy words, but those doctors collude with the people in the lieutenant's mansion, the assassins must be their people, and they will handle the case, and they will never leave traces, we don't have sufficient evidence, how can we find them out and be convincing, I don't know what the two of you think?"

"Crack the grass and scare the snake!" said in a deep voice without hindrance.

"Hit the grass and scare the snake?" Li Si and Meng Yi wondered at the same time, "How to scare the snake?"

"Weichen sued Huan Qi for colluding with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms in a vain attempt to restore, taking away the assassins, and bending the law for personal gain. ”

Li Si was even more puzzled: "This crime is to exterminate the Nine Clans, give them a few guts, they don't dare to do it, not only the ministers will not believe it, but even Your Majesty will not believe it!"

"If not, how can you arrest him and send him to prison to investigate. ”

"If the investigation is a false accusation, not only will the title be revoked, but also the prison sentence and escort to the frontier will not be a trivial matter!"

Wu Jian smiled slightly: "My lord knows that once he gets out of the prison of Tingwei's mansion, a few people can come out alive, and before Tingwei becomes prime minister, he will deal with a big case and extinguish the arrogance of those people." ”

Li Si got up, stroked his beard, paced, and thought: " Such a big crime, once he is imprisoned, no one will dare to come forward to speak for him, and those who usually deal with him will inevitably be afraid, for fear of being implicated by him, take this opportunity to arrest those people and others for interrogation, in order to warn them of their style of political discussion, the wall is pushed down by everyone, Huan Qi's usual misconduct will inevitably be reported from their mouths, so as to exonerate the guilt and draw a clear line, if so, Huan Qi will definitely die, good plan, good plan, the wisdom of the adult is really worthy of the name!"

Meng Yi smiled: "It took me a lot of trouble to invite him here, how can it be false!"

Li Si said to Wu Ji: "But if he dies and does not admit his guilt and asks for a public trial, then the adult will be in danger!"

Without obstacles: "Serve the country and take risks!"

Li Si said awe-inspiringly: "What a gut, I will send someone to dismiss Huan Qi and go to prison to ask for the crime!"

......

Wuxian wrote the charge and handed it to Li Si, and the Tingwei Mansion dispatched thousands of officers and soldiers to take Huan Qi and the patrol soldiers who were present last night, causing a sensation in the entire Xianyang City, Meng Yi and Wujian left the Tingwei Mansion and went to the palace.

Wuqi quickly finished handling business and wanted to get out of the internal affairs office, at this time, Zhao Gao, who was hiding in the corner, coughed secretly, and after hearing it, he saw that it was Zhao Gao, turned around and followed, and came to the corner of the corridor.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhao Gao took out a small bamboo tube more than three inches long from his arms, handed it to Wujian with trembling hands, and whispered earnestly: "It's inside, thank you first!" said and bowed to the ground.

Wujian put the bamboo tube into the sleeve, hurriedly helped Zhao Gao up, and said in a low voice: "After the matter is done, it's not too late to thank you, get up quickly, don't be seen!"

"Yes!" Zhao Gao wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his long sleeves, and said again: "It's all up to adults!"

Wu Barrier said: "No accident, seven days later, I will send a carriage to pick you up at the gate of the palace, it is inconvenient to talk here, you will understand then, don't worry!"

Zhao Gao was speechless, bowed to the ground again, tears flowed out again, Wujian helped Zhao Gao up again, and persuaded: "Don't kneel, let people see doubts, go back quickly!"

At this time, two little eunuchs came with a load of bamboo slips on their shoulders, Zhao Gao hurriedly turned around, and greeted the two little eunuchs with a calm face, and the two little eunuchs saw Zhao Gao and knew that he was a popular person serving His Majesty, and hurriedly said: "I have seen Lord Fu Ling!"

Zhao Gao said sharply: "Don't hurry up, the Internal Affairs Office is about to close!"

The two little eunuchs hurriedly stepped up their steps and walked past Zhao Gao's side, and then Zhao Gao turned around again, behind them, and shook deeply towards Wuji again.

Seeing that Zhao Gao was so eager, Wujian shook his head, turned around, and walked straight out of the palace.

When he returned to Mengfu, he ordered Jin Xingzi to take the medicine pot, put the many herbs that Meng Yi had bought according to the amount, and ordered Jin Xingzi to boil it over a warm fire for two hours.

Wujian took out the bamboo tube and poured out the contents of it, Jin Xingzi saw it, glared at the mouse eyes and said: "Little Master, where did you pick this, how did you put it in lime, it is so small, it is all shriveled like this!"

Wuji didn't answer, and said calmly: "Take it and wash it, blot it with a cloth, and give it to me when you come back." ”

"Does Little Master want to use it to make wine?" Jin Xingzi asked with a grin, pinching something.

"Don't ask, do it!"

When Jin Xingzi came back, Wuxian had already filtered the boiled herbs with silk silk, and was pouring the bright red liquid into seven porcelain bottles, putting things into one of the porcelain bottles, closing the lid, and changing one porcelain bottle a day to cultivate.

......

As soon as he had dinner, the Tingwei Mansion sent someone to 'lift' Wuxian to the Tingwei Mansion, and Meng Yi also followed.
