Chapter 1415 Chaos
"Uncle Emperor, Chen Xu is becoming more and more arrogant and domineering when he comes back this time!"
In a warm room in Chunfang Garden, the fire was red and the bed was warm. Several people walked in with a cold air. A young man pulled off the sable fur and threw it on the kang, and sat down angrily.
"Shh, don't make a loud noise!"
Zhao Hai, who was walking at the end, quickly closed the door and cooked water and tea by himself. The middle-aged and elderly men with black and white hair and beards who came in were all familiar with him and found a place to sit down, taking off their coats or leather boots. None of them looked very good.
The room was extremely silent and no one spoke.
The so-called feathers gather together by birds of a feather, and the fact that these people can gather together at this time must be because of the same thing or because of the same person.
"Since the Marquis of Qinghe has returned to Beijing, we must be more careful in the future and try to restrain ourselves as much as possible and not expose ourselves!" After a long time, Zhao Hai broke the silence.
"I always feel uneasy when I saw the Marquis of Qinghe at the dinner today. I am afraid this matter cannot be accomplished!" Zhao Bing, the Marquis of Gaoyang, who was old and white with a silver beard, shivered on the kang and said with a very ugly expression.
"What does the emperor mean when I say this? Since we have already planned to support Hai'er ascend the throne, we have no way out of retreat. We either confiscate our family and exterminate our clans, or succeed. Now that your Majesty has married and valued foreign ministers, we are loyal but have to settle for more than a thousand households. In a few years, with the introduction of the new military system reform and more reform laws, I am afraid that my royal family will be run by these foreign relatives and will never be able to establish a place to stand. The Qin Dynasty is the Qin Dynasty of my Ying surname, not the Qin Dynasty of the Feng family of the Chen family and the Meng family. Have you forgotten the incident of Tian Qi replacing Jiang. Your Majesty has been delayed in establishing a crown prince. Once Your Majesty is in the heavens, Chen Xu will definitely plan to usurp the throne. Then what are we going to meet the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty?" Changwu Hou Shi clenched his fists and said in a low voice.
"The Four Emperors' Uncles are right. The Qin Dynasty can only be ruled by the royal family. The hard work and contributions of several emperors should naturally be granted the title of princes of a country. Otherwise, wouldn't the descendants of future generations be even worse than merchants and civilians? If Hu Hai could ascend the throne, he would definitely not go back on his word and enfeoffed the imperial uncles in the most prosperous place in the Central Plains!" Hu Hai quickly expressed his opinion.
Now he seems to be the core position of a group of people, but in fact, those who have made suggestions to promote this matter are all ambitious people among the royal family. Zhao Hai, Zhao Cheng and Zhao Bing and other groups of royal family members who are not worthy of use are constantly striving to make friends with civil and military officials, officials, princes, princes, gentry and merchants, and thus form a huge network of interests to create their own power.
Especially after Chen Xu left Xianyang to patrol the Tantu plan, their actions accelerated a lot. In just half a year, they used their money, beauty and various future promises to win over several powerful ministers, especially the Lieutenant's Mansion Commander Lu Xiao, which made them feel that their backs were much thicker and they also had infinite ambitions, and they had almost seen the dawn of success.
Because the lieutenant imperial guards are the last line of defense to defend Xianyang City, as long as they master the 40,000 well-equipped imperial guards in the fourth battalion of the capital, the imperial palace is almost at hand. Once the capital Xianyang is firmly controlled, all civil and military officials are under control, and with the imperial edict in hand, there will be almost no obstacles to Hu Hai's ascending the throne.
But no matter how beautiful the planning and prospects are, Chen Xu is always a lesion in everyone's heart, as stubborn as cancer. As long as Chen Xu is in one day, under the cover and oppression of the halo of the disciples of the immortal family, all his grasps are still just an unknown number, full of unpredictable variables.
Moreover, as soon as Chen Xu came back today, the emperor's performance could only be described in one word, that is, petting, and this petting is almost at the extreme that ordinary people cannot understand, and there is no gap or strangeness between the common relationship between king and minister. Because I heard from the eunuch that the banquet had not yet ended, the First Emperor took Chen Xu to the bedroom of the harem and drove out all the eunuchs inside. The two of them secretly did not know what they did in the bedroom, but this extremely intimate relationship had broken through the space that everyone could imagine.
"I heard Tai Shiming say privately a few days ago that if there are signs of chaos today, the marsh is in the east, and the fire will rush or invade the heart, something big will happen in the future..."
"Cough cough, Yinghuo, a disaster star, it is a cause of war and death. Yinghuo invading Xinsu is not a good omen. It is a cause of trouble for the Qin Dynasty!" Zhao Bing, who had silver-bearded hair and white, coughed and straightened his body, his faint eyes were filled with fear.
"The emperor brother doesn't need to be nervous. Ying Huo Shuxin does have signs of heavenly disaster, but the time has not yet been determined..."
"Although the celestial phenomena are mysterious, why don't we use this to create some chaos and make profits from chaos..."
"Yes, Ying Huo Shuxin will have disasters and disasters. Maybe it will be difficult for him to be the lord..."
Since ancient times, astrology has been an important means of sacrifice. The royal family has a special astrology master, that is, the Taishi. All major events of the king and the country need to be questioned, judge the good and bad luck based on the astrological signs, and implement national policies.
After discussing this news, several people actually pulled the emperor into the body. In an instant, the room became extremely quiet and could only hear the sound of the heart pounding.
"Why not call Zhang Liang here? Maybe he has some ideas about this matter. At the moment, we can't sit still and wait for death!" Zhao Cheng, the Marquis of Changwu, spoke in silence.
"Okay, although Zhang Liang is ambitious, he is indeed full of plans. Lu Xiao is in trouble because of him, which actually adds half of our chances of success!" Zhao Hai stood up and pushed the door out, whispered a few instructions, and then a servant left. In just half a moment, a young man wearing a long robe, a servant scarf, a slender white face and black beard came hurriedly. After entering the warm room, he closed the door. Then he muttered and heard a low conversation.
When Qinghe Hou returned, countless people could not sleep late at night. Except for Kaichunfang Garden and Quyuan Restaurants scattered all over the streets and alleys of Xianyang, the Taishi Mansion has not been lively for a long time near the southeast of the city. It was brightly lit and full of laughter and joy.
After half a year of separation, the Grand Tutor returned home. His wives, concubines, and children gathered in the room, sat on the warm kang and chatted around the stove, and were having fun. The maids and servants in the house were also running back and forth with smiles on their faces, serving tea and pastries.
When Chen Xu came back this time, not only did he have a backbone in the court, but he also had a backbone in the usual cold Taishi Mansion. Even the people in Xianyang and the little lady in Quyuan felt that he had a backbone, and his body was heavy, which made people happy and excited.
But all the excitement finally ended. When the time came slowly, several daughters fell asleep in their arms one after another, and a group of wives and concubines were persuaded by Chen Xu to return to their room to rest.
"It's late at night, my husband should rest sooner. You have to go to court tomorrow!"
After washing up, Shui Qingrou passed by with a lantern and found that Chen Xu was still sitting alone on the kang in a daze. Chunxiang Qiuxiang, who was supposed to serve him to sleep, was not in the room. So he quickly closed the doors and windows and reminded him gently.
"Qingrou comes right, I have something I want to ask you!" Chen Xu pulled Shui Qingrou onto the kang, covered her with a quilt, and hugged her in his arms, "At the end of today's dinner, Your Majesty will take me to the Purple Palace and take out a tube of Ziyun Fairy Tea..."
Chen Xu talked about what happened in the emperor's bedroom, and took out a bamboo tube from the head of the bed and poured the fruit into the palm of Shui Qingru's palm. "The fruit is probably the Floating Life Grass Fruit, but now Miss Xia and Brother Yu are not in Xianyang. I am afraid that only the people from Luoshengtang or Chisongzi Guiguzi and other seniors in the world can recognize this Grass Fruit. Therefore, I dare not confirm it without authorization, and it is still unknown what the fruit is useful..."
Shui Qingrou looked at the red fruit as bright as blood and jade as the palm of her hand, and was obviously confused by this sudden and incredible news.
"Husband, if you want to figure out the true face of this fruit, it is best to send it to Luoshengtang for Sister Zijin's master elders to identify it. Maybe my master may not really know this kind of spiritual herb, because the master can't refine alchemy, and our brothers and sisters have never seen the master refine alchemy before!" Shui Qingrou hugged the quilt and sniffed the fruit and said softly.
Chen Xu thought for a moment and shook his head slightly, "We don't know where the temple of Luoshengtang is. Miss Xia and Brother Yu are also very important and cannot leave. The two seniors Chi Songzi Guiguzi are even more divine. Let's put this matter down for the time being. You can hold this fruit first. If you have the chance to see Senior Chi Songzi, please help me ask. After all, it is a rare spiritual medicine and must have extraordinary effects!"
"Yes, Qingrou will definitely help you protect this fruit. It's late at night, so you can rest soon!" Shui Qingrou put the fruit into a bamboo tube, took it and was about to get out of bed and leave.
"Chunxiang Qiuxiang has gone back to her room to sleep. Please accompany me. When I came back from home, I found that I was a little unfamiliar and unccustomed to it. I suddenly changed someone to accompany me, and I was afraid I couldn't sleep!" Chen Xu lay down gently with the water in his arms, blowing out the candles and hugging him.
In the next few days, Chen Xu was completely busy like a gyroscope. He first carried Zhonglimei's head to worship at Jiang Chuyue's tomb. Apart from that, there was basically no extra time. He had to work hard during the day and stay up late to review the memorials at night. He also had to comfort a group of beautiful wives and concubines who had been away for a long time. He lived a very fulfilling life. He wanted to break it into two or three hours and still felt that it was not enough.
There are hundreds of important memorials in the Secretariat. Although many of the First Emperors have reviewed and processed on their behalf, Chen Xu must review them personally when it comes to some laws and reforms. The most are various memorials on the Tantu Plan. Because they were planned by Chen Xu and the Academy of Sciences, and the First Emperor also ordered Chen Xu to be fully responsible for all the Tantu Plans. Therefore, as long as the memorials sent from various places involve unclear or need to be revised, they will be left to Chen Xu to come back to solve. However, all the memorials in the Secretariat, the Six Ministry and the Academy of Sciences have already reviewed and given many opinions. Moreover, the officials of the Secretariat have also classified them according to priorities, and Chen Xu is not particularly troublesome to deal with them.
According to Chen Xu's own inspection process, with the promotion of the powerful state machine of Daqin and sufficient funds, all projects were carried out very smoothly, with occasional minor errors and flaws, but they would never affect the development of the entire plan.
