Chapter 435: They are all old foxes
"Are you sure?" Meng Xifan said in a deep voice.
"I can use my life as a guarantee." Feng Quji said confidently.
After Meng Xifan was silent for a moment, he said, "Let's go find the Bai Family and the Gan Family."
The head of the Bai family is called Bai Siqi, and the head of the Gan family is called Gan Mao.
Bai Siqi is Bai Qi's younger brother, and Gan Mao is Gan Mao's grandfather. They are both very old, but they are both very energetic.
This is attributed to their health regimen, which simply means not minding other things, eating when you are full, and exercising when you wake up.
Meng Xifan took Feng Quji to a restaurant, and then sent someone to invite Bai Siqi and Gan Mao to the restaurant to discuss matters.
Not long after, Bai Siqi and Gan Mao arrived at the restaurant.
Gan Mao took the lead and said, "What's going on? We are called here at this juncture. Has something important happened?"
Meng Xifan said: "Prime Minister Feng said that the hereditary system will be completely outlawed. This happened early. You two, what do you think?"
Gan Mao said: "What should come has come. Gan Luo once said that the hereditary system will destroy the Qin sooner or later.
I didn't expect that the First Emperor would take action so quickly. "
Bai Siqi said: "Anyway, our Bai family has left the army, and whether there is a hereditary inheritance in the imperial court has nothing to do with my Bai family.
Even if the Bai family wanted to join the army again, they would start as a top soldier and would not drag their connections to get a position in the army. "
When Feng Quji heard this, he sneered in his heart: It is because you three masters have their own opinions that I became the head of the nobles.
Gan Mao nodded and said, "Now that Gan Luo is dead, our Gan family has also lost the right to speak in the court. Therefore, whether it is hereditary or not, it is not necessary for our Gan family."
Meng Xifan sneered and said, "Although you don't have any clansmen, you do have a lot of disciples. Without them, how could your Bai family and Gan family become one of the greatest nobles in the Qin Dynasty?
You two don’t have to stand and talk, it won’t hurt your back. I asked you to come here to let you know the seriousness of this matter.
In the future, the status of our three companies will definitely plummet. "
Bai Siqi frowned slightly and said, "It's a court matter. What does it have to do with the status of our three major families?"
Our three major families are big in business and have a large population. If we want to produce a few talents, it is not easy to find them at our fingertips.
Lao Meng, don't think too much. It is not a good thing to go against the imperial court, and Lord Wu An is a lesson learned from the past. "
"That's right." Gan Mao said, "Old Meng, let's not interfere with the court's affairs. As long as Your Majesty does not touch the interests of our family, everything will be fine."
Meng Xifan sneered and said: "Now His Majesty is affecting our interests. Once we compromise this time, then next time His Majesty asks us to give up our interests, should we also compromise?"
Bai Siqi and Gan Mao looked at each other.
"Lao Gan. What do you think?" Bai Siqi asked.
Gan Mao shook his head and said: "No matter, let the court handle it freely. Any more intervention will only make your Majesty attack us directly."
"I think so too." Bai Siqi said, "Since my brother's death, I know that you cannot disobey Your Majesty, otherwise the consequences will not be something you and I can bear.
In addition, Your Majesty wants to conquer Japan, and I have decided to send the descendants of the Bai family to Japan, as well as the land of Baiyue.
Now the prince has laid the foundation in the land of Baiyue. Once the prince succeeds to the throne, the land of Baiyue will be the prince's strong backing. At that time, if we don't listen to the prince, then the land of Baiyue will replace us. "
"Haha... Lao Bai, you are getting better and better as you get older." Meng Xifan laughed, "If you let His Majesty do what you want, then I will ignore you. When the Nine Ministers System and the Six Ministry System are over, I will I will go to court in the name of the head of the Meng family to persuade Your Majesty."
"It's up to you. If nothing happens, I'll leave first." After Bai Siqi said that, he stood up and left without giving Meng Xifan a chance to speak.
Gan Mao also stood up and said, "Then I'll take my leave too."
"Hmph." Meng Xifan snorted coldly and ignored Gan Mao at all.
Feng Quji waited until the two family heads left and then said: "Meng family, it seems that the three families of Meng, Bai and Gan have broken up from today on.
Although there is no complete break, there are already gaps. "
Meng Xifan snorted coldly and said, "Don't you see that the two of them have already discussed it, and they want me, the Meng family, to deal with the First Emperor alone.
Humph, they think too much, how could I go against the First Emperor for them? "
"Then the Master of the Meng family was in front of them just now..." Feng Quji was shocked and couldn't say anything else.
"Humph, they put on a show for me, so of course I have to put on a show for them too." Meng Xifan said, "So this matter depends on you."
Feng Quji twitched the corner of his mouth and shouted in his heart: "Old foxes, they are all old foxes. On the surface, the three of them are at odds, but in fact they are trying to get themselves into a trap."
"Master Meng, my position as Prime Minister is about to be lost. If you ask me to go against His Majesty now, I'm afraid the entire Feng family will be in trouble?" Feng Quji could only say with a grimace.
"Don't worry, I have arranged for Fu Zikang and the others to take the lead. All you need to do is help, especially at the political discussion meeting of the Six-Ministry System and the Nine-Ministry System. You can help the Nine-Ministry System win this political discussion meeting," Meng Xifan said.
"How can I help? Li Si and I are responsible for this matter. In fact, when Fu Zikang and the others agreed, they were already doomed to fail. How can I help?"
"I believe you can find a way." Meng Xifan said with a smile.
When Feng Quji saw Meng Xifan like this, he had a bad feeling in his heart. This old boy wanted to drag him into trouble.
Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.
"Master Meng, please rest assured, I will do my best."
"Okay, I'll leave everything to Prime Minister Feng."
After Feng Quji left the restaurant, he went directly to Li Si's house
At this time, Fu Zikang and others had forced their way into Li Si's house. After Li Si's servants discovered that someone had forced their way in, they immediately took action to drive them away.
Fu Zikang and others found out that a group of servants from Li Si Mansion were blocking them. Fu Zikang and others, who were already angry, became even more angry. So they forgot about etiquette and directly led their men to fight with the men from Li Si Mansion. .
Because of the large number of people on the other side, all the servants in Li Si's mansion were beaten, and finally Li Si appeared directly.
It was impossible not to show up. The servants had all been beaten and he couldn't wait any longer.
Originally, Li Si knew that troublemakers were coming when he learned that Fu Zikang and the others were here, so he closed the door and thanked guests, not wanting to see them at all. ap.
But no one expected that Fu Zikang's group of people would barge in directly.
At first, there were servants who blocked him, but Li Si didn't take it seriously. But in the end, the other servants actually hit his servants. This was a slap in Li Si's face. How could he endure this?
