Meng Tian went home to correct homework... Well, the book was revised. Meng Yi caught up with his son with his hair and beaten him up. After washing and changing clothes, he wrote a few letters and arranged for the servants to send them out quickly.

If you want to completely pick your elder brother Meng Tian out of this matter, it is not possible to rely on the Montessus alone. Under the suppression of two important officials, the right prime minister Feng Quji and the censor Feng Jie, the Chief Censor Feng Jie, the First Emperor will definitely not be able to hold on for long before he will start to deal with the Western Army. The Montessus must find enough helpers.

As brothers in distress, Di Dao Hou Li Xin and Yinshan Hou Jianghu's tribe members are Meng Yi's first choice, and some other generals, principal Shi, who serve in the Western Army, are also involved. Although these people's families are not as prominent as their Meng family, they still have several children from the ancestral military general Qing Houshi family. They can be called together to discuss countermeasures.

The letters sent by Meng Yi were quickly responded to. Several families of the Western Army generals were already worried after learning the news of today's court. Therefore, after seeing the letters sent by Meng Yi, it felt as if they had caught a life-saving straw, and they were preparing to drive straight to Chunfang Garden.

Since Li Xin learned about Chen Xu's plan, he has been in a calm mood recently, but after all, Chen Xu is not in Xianyang, and the affairs in the court are beyond his reach. Therefore, today, the news in the court that Feng Quji, Feng Jie and more than ten senior officials all demanded a thorough investigation of the Western Army to punish the soldiers. This made Li Xin uneasy. Therefore, after receiving Meng Yi's letter, he did not hesitate too much. He took a few guards to ride straight to Chunfang Garden, and met Jiang Pu, the Minister of Personnel, who was also in love with the same thoughts.

Regarding the situation of being in the same tragedy as Jiang, Li Xin and Jiang Pu chatted together, leading a manager in Chunfangyuan to a separate courtyard. When they came in, five or six family members who also had clan members in the Western Army as chief principals and other officials gathered in Xianyang. They were basically still quite prestigious and status figures.

When the group met, they naturally gave greetings. Not long after, Meng Yi, wearing a brocade robe, wearing a jade crown, a hair and beard, combed neatly, and accompanied him with the inner historian Qi Dang and the Marquis of Jiancheng Zhao Hai.

"Forgive me for my sins, I'm late!"

Meng Yi came in and apologized. Zhao Hai and Qi Dang also smiled and bowed to everyone and then sat down. Soon a maid poured tea and water to serve him. Chunfangyuan's manager quickly arranged a group of singers who were proficient in musical instruments to accompany him.

Everyone was drinking tea and watching dance quietly, but most of them were uneasy, but Meng Yi didn't say anything, so everyone could only continue watching. After two songs and dances, Zhao Hai found that the atmosphere in the whole room was very depressed, so he stepped down and said with a smile: "You all came to Chunfangyuan to listen to the song and dance, why are they all worried? Could it be that this marquis was not well-received?"

A general's tribe was about to speak, but Li Xin smiled and said, "As soon as he returned to Xianyang, he heard that Jiancheng Hou and Qinghe Hou had a big bet called Soha for a famous actor named Lin Xian'er. As a result, Jiancheng Hou narrowly defeated Lin Xian'er and accepted Lin Xian'er. Today, we came to have a banquet, so of course we still wanted to see Lin Xian'er's style. Is Jiancheng Hou so hiding, is this called complete etiquette?"

"Haha, Di Daohou was joking. It was not because I was reluctant to let Xian'er come to have a banquet to make fun of it, but there were several noble people in the chess and card room next door, and Miss Xian'er was invited to be a dealer! This maid has arranged that when the game is over, Xian'er will come to offer music to Di Daohou and you all for fun." Zhao Hai explained with a smile.

"That's great. I went back to Xianyang for a few days and heard how Lin Xian'er sang and danced so well. I must take a good look today!" Li Xin nodded happily.

"Didao Hou will definitely not be disappointed after seeing it. Lin Xian'er has a good figure and voice, and her poems, songs, lyrics, songs, pipa, zither and zither are all good!" A strong middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Are you brother Cheng Duwei?" Li Xin looked at this guy with a familiar look.

"It is precisely because Cheng Tao is in the lower Cheng Pei, his younger brother Cheng Pei is working under the tent of the Yinshan Marquis. His family letter mentioned the matter of expeditioning the Xiongnu Yuezhi with the Marquis. Tao admires the Marquis for no reason..." The middle-aged man quickly bowed.

"Haha, there is no need to be polite. Cheng Duwei is very skilled in martial arts and is very brave in wars. When he followed me and the Yinshan Hou to conquer the Huns, he seemed to be a hundred generals. He was promoted to Duwei in just a few years. It was indeed good!"

"Thank you for your praise. I am thanks to the general and the two marquis who have appreciated and promoted me. But what is the matter of reselling enamels this time? Will my brother be implicated..." Cheng Tao asked in a low voice in a worried voice.

Li Xin shook his head slightly and whispered to Meng Yi: "Don't be too anxious. This matter is too much involved. No one can bear it. We can only work together. Since Dr. Meng invited me to discuss, he must have a problem..."

"Yes, thank you for the reminder of Didao!" Cheng Tao suddenly woke up, but the anxiety in his heart instantly calmed down a lot.

Several other family representatives who came to discuss also whispered to each other, and their expressions were different. Zhao Hai and Meng Yi Qidang said a few words and stood up and bowed to say goodbye, saying that they would arrange a banquet, and then the atmosphere in the room soon became solemn.

"You are gathered here today, so why should you be very clear in your heart. The incident of the Western Army generals and soldiers stealing enamel equipment is badly affected. The emperor was furious. If you cannot explain this matter clearly, you will be dismissed from office and get a title. Whether you are the Meng family, the Jiang family or you will have a loss of reputation, your family will suffer. The reason why Your Majesty has been hesitating is not that you cannot punish the Western Army generals and soldiers, but that you are worried that the involvement will cause the army to be turbulent and unstable..."

Meng Yi sat cross-legged on the mat and roughly explained the reason for treating him today.

"Please give me some advice, and I will follow it!" A gray-haired and halbered bride couldn't help but stand up and bow.

"Since I am confused, I naturally have no way to give guidance. My brother, Marquis Jingwu, was also dragged down by you and suffered this unpredictable disaster. Marquis Di Dao, you know best about this matter. Have you ever had any connection with my brother from beginning to end?" Meng Tian looked at Li Xin with an unhappy expression.

Li Xin blushed awkwardly and bowed: "This matter has nothing to do with the Marquis of Jingwu. The soldiers on the front line privately stole and sold equipment. When we know it, the number was huge and it was impossible to stop it. The lower-level military supervisors and officers participated, and the number was too large. Even if they were the chief general, they could do nothing!"

"The people all compete for greed, and never get tired of seeking. Qu Zi sighed at the danger of Chu State, and the human hearts arose from greed. Since you know the matter of stealing and selling, you still forged military letters to ask for supplements. If it weren't for this repeatedly, how could the ending be there? Alas, it's over here, and it's useless to say more..."

Meng Yi sighed and shook his head, his eyes swept across Li Xin, Jiang Pu and others' faces one by one. Finally, he gently tapped the desk with his hands and pondered for a while before speaking again: "This matter is too much. If there is no sufficient reason for your Majesty to accept it, officials from the three provinces and six ministries will inevitably continue to impeach and report memorials until Your Majesty is determined to punish the generals of the Western Army. However, if this matter is all on my brother and you, it is not entirely reasonable. I have discussed this matter with my brother for a long time. I feel that reselling equipment and even military equipment may occur in the future. It is just a matter of time. The root cause of this thing is not in military discipline and military laws, but in the military system..."

"Sure enough!" Li Xin's eyes lit up and his heart suddenly became bright.

"I wonder what the military system that Doctor Meng said means?" An elegant old man asked.

"The military system is naturally the structure and establishment of our Great Qin army. It involves military service, military laws, military titles and other aspects. Although I have led troops to fight, I am not a front-line soldier after all. Moreover, my Great Qin army is completely different from when the princes fought more than ten years ago. The one who knows the most about the accumulated problems of the Great Qin army is Di Daohou. If you don't understand, please explain it to him?"

The old man, including Jiang Pu, turned to look at Li Xin. Li Xin nodded slightly and sat down, then coughed gently and said, "Doctor Meng said it well. Now our Qin army system has accumulated more and more problems. In the past, the military service was constantly running. Food, soldiers and armies were constantly accumulating training. The soldiers could also obtain military merits and titles in this battle after another. They obtained real estate and food, and fields. Naturally, the army was motivated. It was under the stimulation of the military merits and titles that our Qin soldiers suffered heavy casualties but were as brave as tigers and wolfs. They wiped out the six countries in just over ten years. However, after the six countries were unified, the military service law had not changed. Not to mention the long-term military service operation consumed a lot of people's strength, these generals and soldiers who joined the army could no longer obtain military merits through battles, and their morale became increasingly slack. Whether it was stationed in the Great Wall Passes in the northwest or defending the Five Ridges, a large number of soldiers were because of

In order to obtain military merit, he had to go home after two years of military service. Now it is even worse. Since our marquis participated in the conquest of the Xiongnu Yuezhi and the Western Regions six years ago, the system of resumption has been in name only. Now the camps in the northwest are all pawns, and riding horses and fighting wars require strict training. Therefore, the two northwest armies have totaled more than 90,000, all of them have served for more than six years in a row. Most of these people have neither achieved military merit nor retired. Moreover, the two armies of our marquis and Yinshan Hou are stationed at the Western Regions Passage with wind, sand and sand, which is thousands of miles away from our Great Qin. Not only does it take half a year to go back and forth, but the supplement of food, grass, weapons, weapons, and other supplies are also very slow. Many soldiers cannot even be replenished in time even if they have damaged their bows, crossbows, swords and swords. As for eating, drinking, sleeping, it is even simpler. This time, we stayed in the Western Regions for three years, and almost no battle was fought in these three years..."

Li Xin sighed quietly, his eyes were desolate and his emotions were deep, and he looked up and swept everyone in the room.

"I haven't fought for three years, my military supplies are insufficient, my food is not adjusted in bitter and cold places. In the winter, I have to hide for several feet in the simple barracks and eat cold and hard pot-help. Many soldiers died of starvation due to lack of medical treatment and medicine. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are not covered in clothes and food and not filling their stomachs. You are eating delicious food and drinking wine in Xianyang, and singing peacefully every night. Has anyone ever cared about the soldiers of the Western Army... "

"The soldiers of the Western Army have difficulty in running food and salary. They can only steal some enamel equipment and get some money, and they can also spend some time to buy some wine, food and clothing from those Hu merchants, and play dice to save their time. As the chief general, even if they know, so what? Those soldiers who are far away from their hometown are all human beings. How can I punish them cruelly? Moreover, the generals and soldiers above and below are involved, so I can only turn a blind eye..."

After Li Xin finished speaking, the whole room was extremely quiet. After a long silence, Jiang Pu spoke: "What Mr. Di Dao said should be true. My cousin Chu Tian had mentioned the daily life of the military camp in his letters before. Because the horses guarding the border cannot be replaced by normal service, they are irritable and lazy. Therefore, the fights in the military camp happen from time to time. Your Majesty does not know these things, but the generals and soldiers in the military camp all have experiences. If you want to completely solve this problem, you have to start with the military system and change the general system..."

"Hiss~" Several sounds sounded in the room instantly, as if they were tooth pain.

"Master Jiang, the change of the military system is not something we can argue with!" an old man said with a pale face.

"Yes, yes, my Great Qin military system has been around for hundreds of years and has never been changed. Only Your Majesty can speak for this matter!" Several other family representatives nodded in fear and agreed.

"Reforming the military system is indeed not easy, but what I said today is just a reminder that if you want to get rid of this matter, you must convince Your Majesty and the civil and military officials of the court. Otherwise, the consequences will still be unpredictable. Since the Qin army system is so ill-fated, we will naturally use this to excuse the soldiers of the Western Army. My brother has written a memorial to prepare to present it to Your Majesty three days later. What I said is the accumulated problems of the Western Army and some military system reform. I hope you don't wait for Your Majesty and the many censors to give it to you, but contact more court officials and officials to support it. Only when everyone works together can we do this matter well. Regardless of whether the military system reform is successful or not, at least let Your Majesty know that the military system has reached a point where it must be changed, and the full Majesty's documents know the difficulties and hardships of the Western Army..."

After Meng Yi said something, everyone not only nodded secretly, but after discussion, they decided to go back and contact more officials from all over the court.

As the saying goes, everyone has high fireworks. Apart from Meng Yi, Li Xin and Jiang Pu, almost no one here has high officials and high titles. However, these people have lived in Xianyang for a long time and have good family status. A lieutenant is at least five doctors of the ninth level. They can lead troops alone. Not to mention the entry and exit of chariots and horses, they already have 600 households and can also collect guests. This is the so-called doctor's house. When they reach the level of the lieutenant, the military title is at least Zuo Geng, who is already a real senior general and can control a army as the commander.

With such high titles, the family will naturally rise with the flow, have fiefs and fiefs. As aristocratic class, they are all nobles and officials. They cannot help with the reform of the military system, but there is no big problem to find some people to help shaking flags and shouting.

Meng Yi did this out of helplessness.

His identity is different from Chen Xufeng Quji. He is in charge of the Provincial Supervision Bureau and is engaged in the activities of supervising officials in the world. In order to ensure his integrity and justice, Meng Yi usually interacts with officials from the Provincial Supervision Bureau and the Censorate of various places. The Secretary of the Secretariat and other government officials do not deal with them very much. Therefore, when such a major event occurs, Meng Yi feels a little bit unable to support him.

This is especially true for Li Xin and Meng Tian. The two generals are always away and are blinded by the affairs of the court. It would be fine if nothing happens. If there is no one in the court, there will definitely be a sudden burst of trouble.

Therefore, the generals who fought abroad have been the most difficult to manage since ancient times. Not only are they rebellious, but more are wrongly accused of beheading, but they are in a situation where both sides are not pleased.

There was a character who could help them resolve the crisis, but he had already lifted his pants and ran away, and he also threw a big iron pot for them.

The meaning is very simple. You can set the pot first, prepare the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, ingredients and seasonings, and finally let me stir-fry the dishes.

Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi and Li Xin are very clear about Chen Xu's cooking skills.

As long as Chen Xu is willing to intervene in this matter, the final outcome will not be too ugly.

The problem is that this starts smoothly. If the military system reform cannot gain enough interest from the First Emperor, Chen Xu may still not put mud on himself.

What's more, if the Montessori is unwilling to make a comeback this time, I'm afraid Chen Xu will not like the Montessori in the future.

If a family does not take responsibility, all partners will retreat.

What's more, if the military system reform is successful this time, Montessus and Li Xin and many other generals and schools will not only get rid of this matter, but will also benefit from it.

This is also the reason why Meng Yi had to come forward in person.

If the military system reform is officially implemented, the Western Army will be the first to be affected. Meng Tian, ​​the generals and soldiers of the Western Army must cooperate with the reform with all their strength, otherwise what they will be welcomed may be a one-stop shop, which is not impossible for the First Emperor. After all, only 20,000 people are far from reaching the point where the Qin Dynasty is damaged.

However, if you want to use the reasons for the drawbacks of the military system to convince the First Emperor and the civil and military officials of the court, and to accept the strategy of military system reform, you must have enough support in the court.

The army has always been the forbidden body of the king. No one can be affected by the firm control. No minister dares to stretch out his hands randomly.

The left prime minister, including Qinghehou, who was so keen on various reforms, was unwilling to touch him first.

Now that the Meng family has to touch it, Meng Yi and Meng Tian are worried about Feng Quji, the right prime minister of the Qin Dynasty.

Just a free money would make Feng Quji jump up to stop him.
