When Hu Hai learned that Chen Ping and others had escaped from the city, he immediately told Li Si and Zhao Gao about the matter.

Li Si and Zhao Gao found that the situation was wrong, and when they sent someone to search for Chen Ping and others, they could not even find the root hair, and they didn't even figure out the route of escape, so they couldn't help but become angry.

But if the monks can run away, they can’t run away, so they took over Pinyang County.

The candidate who served as county magistrate is Ma Liang, who is responsible for helping them monitor Yang.

Ma Liang took the lead in the Pinyang County Magistrate and the first order issued was to arrest Chen Ping and others.

But this order came to the hands of all the officials in Pinyang, like a piece of waste paper, and everyone was working but not working hard.

In this way, the time was delayed for half a month. When the funeral of Emperor Shin-Emperor ended, Hu Hai immediately issued an edict to arrest Wang's family, Chen Ping and Han Xin for the crime of committing corruption.

After Wang Ben and his son learned the news, they looked for the Ying family and their daughter, while claiming that the Dayuezhi invaded the territory and mobilized a hundred thousand troops to Didao, and acted as if they were the generals outside and their military orders were not accepted.

Zhao Gao and Li Si knew Wang Ben's temper well and did not dare to act rashly for the moment.

On the other side, the remote Beidi County suddenly became a turbulent place.

Since Meng Tian was imprisoned, all forces were shocked.

Although Meng Tian has stepped down as the general of Jiuyuan, all the generals of Jiuyuan and the generals stationed in the border have come to visit him in the north.

Even the herdsmen on the Yinshan grassland drove groups of cattle and sheep to the north.

In the small Beidi County, countless people were surging day and night.

People couldn't stand Meng Tian being imprisoned, but Meng Tian was unaware of it. She was sitting in the cell, leisurely spitting out smoke rings.

"call......"

As soon as a flower was pulled, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the door.

Meng Tianxun looked over and saw an old man with gray hair hurriedly stepped into the threshold and cried sadly: "General, Your Majesty is in trouble!"

"It's outrageous! You dare to talk nonsense!"

Before Meng Tian could speak, a violent shout suddenly rang out.

Hearing the loud shout, the old man turned his head and looked at him, but saw a masked general, and then stopped.

He wanted to ask about his identity, but Meng Tian's voice came into his ears in a hoarse manner: "When did something happen?"

"Three days ago..." The old man subconsciously took out a ball of white silk.

"Show me!"

The masked general snatched the white silk from the old man's hand, and just took a look and then collapsed into the ground.

"Come here! Take my heart pills!"

When the old man saw that the masked general fell to the ground, he was startled and yelled outside the cell.

Soon, a middle-aged man who looked like a prison hurriedly sent a pill.

The old man and the prison worked together to break open the masked general's teeth and sent the pills in. Not long after, the masked general opened his eyes suddenly and bowed to Meng Tian: "General Meng, time is no longer waiting, I will make a decision soon!"

"Yes, General Meng, if you don't make a decision, something big will happen in the north!" The old man agreed excitedly.

Hearing the words of the two, Meng Tian didn't say a word, but just lit another cigarette silently. Only now did he understand Fusu's feelings.

However, General Masked snatched the cigarette from his hand and shouted in a low voice: "General Meng, are you really going to miss the last opportunity!"

"Why!"

Meng Tian looked at the smoke on the ground, looked up at the masked general, then looked at the old man, and sighed: "Marquis Longxi, old county magistrate, can you listen to me?"

Marquis of Longxi?

The old man was shocked and looked at General Masked, only then did he realize that he was the new commander of Jiuyuan and the Marquis of Longxi Li Xin.

Since Li Xin took over the power of Jiuyuan, he never thought of taking it for himself. Whenever there is something important, he would definitely go to the north in person to discuss with Meng Tian.

In fact, the main content of the discussion was to rush south.

But Meng Tian refused repeatedly, and he had no choice.

Now that the death of Emperor First Emperor is a God-given opportunity for Li Xin.

After all, he also knew that Fusu was not dead.

After hesitating for a moment, the two looked at each other, and then bowed to Meng Tian: "I am willing to be taught by General Meng!"

"The news of His Majesty's death proves my previous suspicion."

Meng Tian said in a hoarse voice: "The person who gave the eldest son and I to death is not Your Majesty, but the new king. If I guess it well, the new king should be the eighteenth prince Hu Hai."

"good!"

The old man nodded: "The envoy who proclaimed the edict has made it clear that the new king is the eighteenth prince Hu Hai."

"hehe!"

Meng Tian shook his head and smiled bitterly, then sighed: "Your Majesty, you believe in people too much, and you will eventually harm yourself and Daqin..."

"General Meng, if Your Majesty is safe, he will never declare such an edict. Hu Hai's life is in trouble first. Why don't we correct the law of the country?" Li Xin frowned.

"The Marquis of Longxi and the old county magistrate are not because Meng Tian does not want to use the law of the country, but because he cannot make a decision!"

Meng Tian glanced at Li Xin and the old man and said calmly: "Jiuyuan has 300,000 troops. If he leads his troops south, the overall situation will be decided, but I cannot do this!"

"Why?" Li Xin was a little puzzled.

But Meng Tian explained: "There are four reasons why I cannot do this. First, Your Majesty passed away, and Your Majesty has never had the intention to harm me. How can I be sorry for him?"

"Second, the eldest son has passed away. Even if we stabilize the world, who will be the second generation of Qin?"

"Third, Jiuyuan is located in the northern border and is close to the northern Huns. If there are no troops stationed in the northern border, then China will be in danger!"

"Fourth, my Meng family is loyal to Qin. After three generations, they are all Qin ministers. How can we bring troops to rebel against Qin?"

"General Meng, the eldest son..."

Li Xin originally wanted to say that Fusu was not dead, but Meng Tian waved his hand and interrupted him meaningfully: "Sometimes, death of one's heart is more unforgivable than death of one's body."

"this....."

Li Xin hesitated and said unwillingly: "You can't put your hope on Hu Hai, right?"

"What ability does Hu Hai have to do to Qin Ershi?" the old man said disdainfully.

"If you can listen to the advice, you may be a successful monarch..."

"Whose advice?"

Li Xin said angrily: "He sent his elder brother and General Meng to death, but I don't believe that no one would advise me!"

"General Li, as the commander of Jiuyuan, why do you speak so frivolously?"

Meng Tian looked at Li Xin with some displeasure and scolded him: "Even if you have some estrangement from Your Majesty, Your Majesty has never blamed you. Before he got there, he would hand over the Jiuyuan military affairs to you, which shows His Majesty's trust in you.

!”

"No matter how talented the second emperor is, you will always be your majesty's minister. You should be loyal to the Qin Dynasty. I believe that even if the second emperor is bewitched for a while, he will wake up one day. As long as Li Si is on the throne of prime minister, he will be able to turn it into a state of mind.

Daqin takes the right way!”

Speaking of this, he suddenly said in tears: "If General Li and I have a turbulent country, how can we face Your Majesty in the future?"

"General Meng——"

When Li Xin heard Meng Tian's words, he suddenly rushed to the ground.

At dusk, Li Xin and the old man left the prison together. According to Meng Tian's deployment, the two of them separately persuaded the people from all over the country to gather. After much talk, they finally persuaded the gathering crowd to leave.

When Li Xin returned to Jiuyuan, he immediately wrote a memorial and sent it to Xianyang overnight. He also secretly wrote to Prime Minister Li Si, asking him to persuade the second emperor to pardon Meng Tian.

.........

Li Xin's memorial naturally came to the sea.

Not to mention whether Hu Hai would have seen Li Xin’s memorial, even if he had a secret letter to Li Si, Li Si would not be able to persuade the second emperor to pardon Meng Tian.

After all, the edict to kill Meng Tian and Fusu was written by Li Si himself, so he could not shoot himself in the foot.

But Li Xin's temper is not easy to mess with, and Li Si cannot ignore it. So he sent someone to Jiuyuan to appease Li Xin, saying that he would find a way to save Meng Tian, ​​while beating indirectly, instigating Hu Hai to issue an edict to execute Meng Tian.

However, what surprised Li Si was that Hu Hai was a little reluctant to execute Meng Tian.

There are two reasons for this: First, Fusu died and the greatest threat to him was gone; second, Li Xin held 300,000 border troops in his hand, which was also difficult to mess with.

Although Hu Hai is a political idiot, he still has the awareness of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune. He doesn't want to be the emperor just now, and he is caught by Li Xinkang within a few days.

Just when Hu Hai was hesitating, Zhao Gao learned about Li Xin's memorial, so he immediately went to Xianyang Palace to meet Hu Hai.

"Your Majesty! I don't know whether to say it or not!" As soon as Zhao Gao entered the palace gate, he showed a worried expression.

Seeing this, Hu Hai quickly stopped the brush in his hand and raised his hand at Zhao Gao: "What does the teacher have to say, but it's okay to say it."

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Fusu and the Montessori are originally one, and Fusu dies and the Montessori exists, which is not in common sense!"

Zhao Gao said seriously: "If we cannot eradicate the roots, we will inevitably suffer from great trouble in the future!"

"this....."
