Chapter 439

At present, all the civil and military officials in the court, as long as the noble family with high-ranking titles, they all live in Xianyang. This is an important method for Qin Shihuang to control all officials and ministers. This makes it easier for the three tribes of Yi to rebel when the ministers rebel, and once they rebel, none of them can escape.

This is true for Wang Jian and Li Si. This is almost the most important pair of civil and military officials that Qin Shihuang relies on today.

But Chen Xu is different. His identity is too special. Although his family is poor and his family's background is clear, Qin Shihuang has long been inquired about it. However, he is sure that Chen Xu's identity is a disciple of the Immortal Family. Therefore, Chen Xu's family stayed in his hometown alone. Moreover, Qin Shihuang did not dare to move around, and even dared to ask Chen Xu to bring his family to live in Xianyang, for fear that Chen Xu would misunderstand.

Chen Xu had a conflict with Li Si a day ago, and today he asked to go back to his hometown to visit relatives. Qin Shihuang was not worried. He was afraid that Li Si would make Chen Xu unhappy because he had not dealt with him. What if Chen Xu did not come back after returning to Funiu Mountain in Nanyang? Then his imperial way would never succeed in his life.

Although Chen Xu also told him that the hope was slim, there was still hope after all. If Chen Xu left, there would be no hope at all.

Therefore, Chen Xu promised to return for more than a month after returning home, which made him feel relieved.

Although Chen Xu was young, the few months he came to Xianyang can be said to be the time when he had changed and felt the most since he ascended the throne and became emperor. Whether it was eating habits or restructuring the court, whether it was improving iron and crafting horse harnesses or weapons, or some incredible ideas that he had made casual comments on daily life, or the newspaper offices he had been running and the Fang family sorcerer who proposed to separate and stayed in Xianyang, he made him feel the importance of Chen Xu's existence. And once he had doubts or couldn't figure it out, he would think of Chen Xu at the first time, rather than thinking of Li Si or Wang Jian like before.

This kind of thinking has formed a habit.

It seems that as long as Chen Xu is by his side, he will feel at ease. Whether it is internal or external, he can get the answer he wants from Chen Xu. Although sometimes many answers make him feel incredible, Chen Xu can always put this idea into practice.

As a talented and stubborn emperor, he could naturally feel from Chen Xu that if his Qin really wants to prosper, strengthen the country and maintain peace, Chen Xu is essential. As for immortality, he has rarely thought about it now.

Qin Shihuang personally sent Chen Xu to the gate of Zichen Palace, and couldn't help but say: "I heard that Shi Man was in the bedroom for half a night yesterday. I didn't have to marry Shi Man, but Shi Man said: A beautiful lady is a good match for a gentleman. Shi Man is well-educated, gentle and intelligent. She is my favorite daughter. Moreover, she has been admiring Mr. She for a long time. I still hope that Mr. can marry Shi Man and treat him with a wife and I will be satisfied!"

Chen Xu struggled in his heart and bowed respectfully and said: "Your Majesty treats me so kindly, I am grateful. When I return from Nanyang, my mother will be in the hall. If the fifth princess does not dislike me, I will definitely marry the fifth princess!"

"Okay~, at that time, I will give you a marriage to let the daughter of the Censor's family marry Mr. Yu, and become a three-wife ritual, and no distinction between noble and humble!" Qin Shihuang showed a satisfied smile.

"It depends on your Majesty!" Chen Xu quickly bowed and felt his heart numb.

Traveling through time to ancient times, and having a high position, three wives and four concubines are not something you don’t want. Marriage is just a political means, and many women cannot marry them.

The daughter of a big boss like Qin Shihuang must not be pushed out again and again, otherwise it will be easy to create estrangement. If there is a estrangement between the king and the minister, nothing will be done. After a long time of suspicion, the final outcome is very unpredictable. Moreover, it is false to say that Chen Xu is not moved at all in the face of a gentle and beautiful woman like Ying Shiman.

As for the Censor Meng Yi, he was an old hooligan. He was not only a hooligan, but also a hooligan in his body. He deliberately put Chen Xu in a difficult position in advance and retreat, and he had no excuse to reject Qin Shihuang's plan to marry his daughter.

Monogamy was popular in later generations. Many people said they should go all out and ended up with one mind. They despise those fickle big bodies. When they say that ancient people had three wives and four concubines, they spit out to show their purity. But in Chen Xu's opinion, those people did not meet better. If they had and met, they would probably change their minds faster than anyone else.

What's more... I'm not a good man either, otherwise why did I leave Shui Qingrou alone in my hometown to wait and hope for the empty room alone?

Only by marrying Shui Qingrou can he feel more at ease and accept this kind of political marriage transaction more calmly.

But this is how life is. What kind of identity and status you have to face, and many of them cannot choose from.

Moreover, if you marry a wife, it is better to be better than the more. As a marquis who is worth diamonds, one, two or three are necessary. Moreover, if you marry the daughter of the fifth princess and Doctor Meng, there will inevitably be fewer women who come to your door in the future, because the status of these two people will never be found in Daqin. Li Si has no daughter, Feng Quji has, but they are already married. Therefore, if others want to cling to each other, they may have to face the joint suppression of Qin Shihuang and Meng Yi.

Marrying three beautiful wives is also a dream to achieve the beginning! Although one of them will take several years to support them.

So Chen Xu figured it out and after returning home, he began to arrange to go home.

The entire Marquis' Mansion was also busy. The Marquis wanted to go back to his hometown to visit relatives, guards, servants, chefs, servants, maids, grooms..., and there were a whole range of people who were embarrassed to go out. Moreover, I heard that the Marquis would return to his hometown to marry this time, and all kinds of silk, satin, money and jade must be prepared. For a moment, the whole Marquis' Mansion was in chaos and packed boxes of items were moved out.

Chen Ping, Ying Bu, Sun Shujiong and other groups of subordinates returned. Ma Gan, Gongshusheng and the two carpenters who came to Qinghe Town also wore brand new official uniforms and prepared to go back to their hometown to visit relatives. For a moment, the entire Qinghe Marquis Mansion turned into a noisy market.

Chen Xu squatted in the panda garden, hugging a panda and was reluctant to let go.

"Mr. Marquis, don't worry. We will definitely feed Tuantuan and Yuanyuan white and fat, and we will never be hungry!" Several servants responsible for taking care of the two giant pandas looked at their Marquis and stood beside them and persuaded with great thoughts.

"You said that if I come back, I find that they are black and thin, I will definitely send you a few to the northwest to build the Great Wall!" Chen Xu finally fed two pandas and a few bamboo shoots before he stood up reluctantly.

Several servants shivered at the same time and nodded quickly, "Mr. Marquis, please put your heart on your belly button!"

"Okay!" Chen Xu turned around and left the panda garden. The two giant pandas sat on the ground from beginning to end and gnawed bamboo shoots. The birds were too lazy to feed their marquis every day, and even looked very disdainful. The stupidity finally left. Now he could eat bamboo quietly and every day, and no longer had to accompany him to roll around the yard to act cute.

The whole Marquis' Mansion was busy and Chen Xu was too lazy to ask about it. He wanted to be low-key when returning to his hometown to visit relatives.

But because Meng Yi suddenly let out a scream in Qinghe Garden, he fell into a very passive position and had to go ahead.

What's more, the next few issues of newspapers will publish several major discussions on the strategy of governing the country, taking Xunzi's thoughts as the tone and integrating the remarks of mainstream schools such as Confucianism, Taoism and Legal names to promote the cracking of the current situation of the Qin Dynasty's supreme magic. The disciples of the Legalists represented by Li Si will inevitably bear tremendous pressure.

He was not in Xianyang, so he could pretend not to know these things and let Chen Ping and others follow his instructions. No one can interfere in the newspaper affairs except the emperor. Even if Li Si wanted to act, he would probably think about it again and again. Moreover, Qin Shihuang had agreed to prepare for the History Museum and Bookstore and other offices, and also personally agreed to convene leaders of the hundreds of alchemists to the court to discuss government affairs. In this atmosphere, the eyes of the disciples of the hundreds of schools of thought will inevitably be attracted by the content of the newspaper's discussion, forming a wave of great discussions on governing the country.

The reason why Confucianism is so prosperous is that Confucius's teaching philosophy was brought about by the teaching concept of teaching without distinction. Three thousand disciples and seventy-two sages wandered among the princes. Many of them were guests of the princes, and they promoted Confucian theory everywhere. The images among the nobles were very large. Most of the ideas of the hundred schools of thought were images of the Confucian school, and they valued the etiquette and morality inherited from the Zhou Dynasty.

The Confucian theory at this time is very different from the Confucianism in later generations. It is a very pragmatic school. In addition to valuing the superiors and inferiors of the superiors and subordinates, etiquette and morality, it is more of a lot of demands on individual behavior, valuing the sages and kings of the outside, which requires both self-cultivation and political propositions. From the perspective of thought, we teach by example, and everyone respects the five virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. In this way, a good gentleman society will be formed and the world will be peaceful.

However, Confucianism in later generations was very powerful. It distorted theories proposed by Confucius and Mencius, and confined the idea of ​​self-cultivation with various rules and regulations, thus forming Confucian doctrines similar to a religious nature. As a result, Confucian disciples began to appear and corrupt Confucianism, only emphasizing behavior, not paying attention to thoughts, only knowing how to search for chapters and sentences, but not knowing how to be flexible and flexible. Confucianism also greatly imprisoned the thoughts and behaviors of intellectuals, leading to the decline of Chinese civilization from the Tang and Song dynasties.

However, at present, the strict Legalist thought has seriously imprisoned the development of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and is no longer suitable for the future development of the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, we must find another more relaxed governance strategy. The Confucian theory of the inner sage and the King of the outside and the Huang-Lao technique of governing inaction is used to dilute and resolve the solvent of the only Legalist, introduce different governance concepts, and use Xunzi's pragmatic theory as the basis, integrate Confucianism and Huang-Lao's theory of justice to weaken the Legalist strategy, which is pragmatic and deformed, and finally form a governance strategy that can be widely accepted by disciples of hundreds of schools and can also be accepted by the emperor and officials of the court. In this way, the Qin Dynasty can walk on two legs and walk smoothly.

The emergence of newspapers is the best way to promote.

As a medium, with the participation of many disciples from hundreds of schools of thought, the newspaper spreads much faster than the propaganda of Confucius' students running around among the princes, and the impact formed by this is naturally not the same.

According to Chen Xu's speculation, it only takes two or three months at most, these newspapers will spread to the entire Qin Dynasty. Under the guidance of newspaper propaganda and public opinion, more and more gentry members who can accept this kind of fusion of ideas will be more and more. Under the guidance of this idea, they will gradually erode and melt various rigorous laws and laws, so as to begin to implement light taxes and levies in the court, and promote the equal status of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.

Chen Xu was not completely sure whether this matter could be successful, because everything was in the hands of Qin Shihuang.

However, through these court reforms and the implementation of some policies, Qin Shihuang was able to accept his own ideas.
