Chapter 349 How many days did you sleep?

At the end of Mao, although it was the winter, there were already many pedestrians on the streets, and there were carriages coming and going in the bustling crowd.

In addition to Chen Xu, the ministers who attend court every day also took carriages to the Chaogong Hall in the center of Xianyang City.

In the square outside Xianyang Palace, a straight road leads directly to the main entrance of the Chaogong Hall. The ninety-nine steps are divided into three levels. The imperial guards wearing black armor and holding long halberds have already lined up to stand guard. The black dragon flag rolled in the morning breeze, and the atmosphere is solemn and solemn.

When Chen Xu arrived, civil and military officials who were qualified to attend court had arrived one after another. Luxury carriages with four or two horses stopped one by one in the square, and then bowed and greeted each other and stepped on the steps to the hall of the Concord.

When Chen Xu got off the carriage, he immediately attracted the attention of many people. Everyone looked surprised. He didn't know why the Qinghe Marquis, who had been silent for nearly a month in Xianyang, came to court for the first time today.

"Hello, Marquis of Qinghe!" Several ministers who got out of the car quickly greeted Chen Xu.

Although the Qinghe Hou was silent on weekdays, no one dared to underestimate it, because this guy was loved by the emperor and was always recruited to the palace to eat, drink and have fun. I even heard that he also went to Zheng's bedroom to play a play called mahjong with the emperor, Zheng Concubine and the eldest son Fusu. This honor has never been seen in the entire Qin Dynasty.

"Hello, sirs~" Chen Xu, the ministers who greeted him, basically didn't recognize them, so he could only smile and bow and greet him, and then walked towards the hall together.

When he walked into the hall, the ministers who had arrived in advance saw him coming in, all of them bowed to Chen Xu in surprise and greeted him with surprise. Even Li Simeng Yifeng Quji was no exception. Chen Xu naturally could only give him a gift one by one, bowing dozens of times, and felt that the two big buns he ate in the morning had almost been consumed. He felt a little hungry and a little pain in his back.

A large chair covered with black bear skin was still placed in front of the left head, closest to Qin Shihuang's dragon chaise.

This chair has been placed here since the day Chen Xu was named Qinghe Marquis. Although it is empty on weekdays, it has never moved and someone has sorted it out every day.

Chen Xu held back his little heart, smiled and bowed his hands all the way past everyone, and finally walked to the front of the chair, stared at the chair for a while, and finally sat down.

At this time, all the civil and military officials in the dynasty in the hall had arrived.

Dozens of eyes almost looked at him.

Damn, this is such a fucking test!

Chen Xu was sitting on pins and needles, feeling caterpillars crawling around all over his body. However, in order to remain calm, he cared about his eyes and nose, his eyes drooped, and began to adjust his breathing according to the Taoist method of concentrating the mind of the Shui Gentle and Yu Wuya's teachings. Slowly, he actually forgot about something.

Chen Xu's calm behavior also surprised the civil and military ministers in the court even more. They started to communicate left and right, discussing why Chen Xu suddenly came to court.

"Your Majesty is here~"

As a voyeur shouted, all the civil and military officials in the court quickly stood up from the chair, holding a tablet in his hand and looking at the direction of the back hall. After a while, Qin Shihuang was wearing a black dragon robe and a jade crown on his head. With a majestic look on his face, he walked out of the back hall with a majestic accompanying several palace servants and guards. At the same time, his eyes swept across the hall. When he saw Chen Xu, who was still sitting on the chair, closed his eyes and rested, he was stunned for a moment, then walked calmly to the imperial desk and then sat down with his sleeves.

"See Your Majesty~" All the civil and military officials bowed together to salute.

"You all have a good time!" After Qin Shihuang said that, he turned to look at Chen Xu, and said with a slightly strange expression: "Li Xiang is close to you, please wake up the Marquis of Qinghe!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Si's face twitched slightly, walked forward two steps, and poked Chen Xu lightly with the tablet in his hand a few times.

"Ah~What's the matter?" Chen Xu was awakened in panic, and his hands and feet danced a few times, standing up with a confused look on his face. Only then did he realize that Qin Shihuang had already sat on the dragon throne at some point, and the eyes of the civil and military officials in the court were still staring at him.

I'm going, how many days have I slept?

Chen Xu quickly wiped his sleeve and saluted respectfully at Qin Shihuang, "Your Majesty, I am not used to going to court so early, so I couldn't help but take a nap!"

"Haha, it's okay~" Qin Shihuang may have not encountered such a fun thing in most of his life, and he smiled happily.

"Please sit down with all my dear friends!" After laughing, Qin Shihuang spoke, and all the civil and military officials in the court took their seats one after another, and Chen Xu also sat down with awkward expression on his face.

"Why is the Marquis of Qinghe suddenly interested in coming to court today? Is there something to report?" Qin Shihuang changed his usual questions and looked at Chen Xu with a smile on his face.

Chen Xu had no choice but to stand up again, holding a tablet in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, after nearly a month of preparation, under the coordination of all the adults and the government office, the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Great Qin has begun to operate, and the first batch of materials and craftsmen recruited were also prepared. After a few days of tests, steel has been refined and some new weapon samples have been created. Therefore, I came to report to Your Majesty, hoping that Your Majesty can go to the martial arts training ground in the factory outside the city to review the results and test the power of the new weapons."

The civil and military ministers below immediately started to whisper.

Although everyone knows that Chen Xu is responsible for managing the Daqin Academy of Sciences and knows that the Academy of Sciences is used to study and manufacture some things, they don’t know what they are studying inside. Zhao Gao and Jiangzuo Shaofu Order Ao Ping, and Zuozhong Hou Shangtu may know some general situations, which are to use coal stone to smelify iron. Unfortunately, the refining workshop and the ironwork workshop are surrounded by walls, and everyone inside is strictly managed by the imperial guards. In recent days, they are not allowed to eat, drink, defecate and slaughter inside, so they don’t know what they are made inside.

"The factory of the Academy of Sciences is just ten miles outside the city. The things developed can be sent directly into the city. Why bother to mobilize the troops to leave the city? And as cold as the cold land is today, the cold wind and cold rivers are not good for Your Majesty!" Zhao Gao stood up and said.

"The Taifu is right. Just send a few weapons to the city. His Majesty goes out of the city and drives thousands of people. A negligence comes to an accident. Has the Qinghe Marquis ever considered it?" Ao Ping, the commander of the Jiangzuo Shaofu, also stood up.

"I'm going to discuss it!" Shang Tu, the left middle-aged man, also stood up.

"I am here to discuss, Your Majesty is the most important thing, and you should not leave the palace rashly!" More than a dozen ministers who were close to Zhao Gao and others stood up to dissuade him.

Qin Shihuang looked at Chen Xu with a slight confusion on his face.

"In the past, Your Majesty was revived and ruled the world, swallowed two Zhou dynasties and destroyed the princes, took the supreme and controlled the Liuhe, and held the thrust and spurted the world to the world. All the kings and earth were kings, officials, people, craftsmen, and even merchants and slaves were all the people of Your Majesty. No matter how high or low are, they are all for Your Majesty, and they are all for Your Majesty, and they are all for Your Majesty. The Royal Academy of Sciences is Your Majesty's property. The craftsmen and labor slaves in it have been smelting steel and making weapons all day and night, so that Your Majesty can use these weapons to sweep the Huns and Baiyue in the future, so that our Qin Dynasty will never be able to bear the situation.

Invasion, in the past, Yu Rang used a favor to repay Zhi Boyao's knowledge of his favor, and went to the toilet on the bridge and swallowed charcoal paint to assassinate Zhao Xiangzi many times, and finally committed suicide, leaving the veterans to die for their confidants. If Your Majesty could personally visit the craftsmen, personally test their achievements, and be kind to show commendation, all craftsmen apprentices and even prison slaves would be grateful for Your Majesty's favor and swear to be loyal to Your Majesty. This is a move to win the hearts of the people. Did Your Majesty still remember that when he was traveling to the southeast, the road to Kuaiji County encountered a storm. Your Majesty had a thought of benevolence and righteousness, and all the people would return to their hearts, which was as strong as a government in the palace for a hundred days."

After Chen Xu finished his long discussion, he looked at Qin Shihuang with both hands holding a tablet.

"Qinghe Hou said it well!" A doctor from behind stood up and loudly supported.

"Your Majesty, the minister of Qinghe Hou agrees with what he said!" Another doctor stood up.

There was an incomparable silence in the hall.

These two doctors usually speak lightly in the court, but they are representatives of Confucian disciples. They particularly admire the words "benevolence and righteousness" mentioned by Chen Xu. Therefore, no matter what the purpose of Chen Xu's words was, they represent another trend that was very different from the atmosphere of the court. It seems... The Marquis of Qinghe advocates Confucianism. There is such a noble marquis who call Confucianism. It is too sorry for the identity of Confucian disciples if they don't stand up and post it at this time.

"Okay, I'll go to the construction site outside the city to see what kind of magical weapons developed by the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Great Qin, which can help me destroy the Huns and Baiyue!" Qin Shihuang hesitated slightly and agreed immediately.

At the same time, I was also a little excited. Chen Xu's first few words just now were completely above his heart, and he was able to revive his plans and control the world, and he took the supreme level and controlled the six-member world. These two sentences were his most proud credit.

"I thank Your Majesty for your Majesty on behalf of all the craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences!" Chen Xu bowed to the end.

"Marquis of Qinghe, please take your seat. After the court is dispersed, I will go to the factory immediately. You all have a report!" Qin Shihuang nodded and began his daily government affairs.

Although all the civil and military officials in the court had their own thoughts about this matter, since the emperor had agreed, there was no room for change in this matter, so they all calmed down and started to report to the court.

Although Chen Xu was completely disgusted with these government affairs, he was still very interested in sitting on the chair as a bystander, listening carefully to the monarch and ministers' comments, and secretly observing the situation in the court.

Time flies, more than an hour has passed. I have heard too much of the boring government affairs. Chen Xu started to doze off again. He heard a sound of moving the chair in a daze. He quickly opened his eyes and found that the morning court had ended.

"The servant quickly arranges the carriages and horses. I will go to inspect the factories outside the Academy of Sciences during the Wu Dynasty. My dear friends will also go with me. It's only twenty miles to go, so I'll just take a break!" Qin Shihuang stood up after he said that.
