Chapter 338: Worrying too much

Because Yingbu, Yu Wuya and Fusu are familiar, after all, they got along well for half a month on the way to Xianyang, so they didn't care too much, but Huangfu Que was different, knowing that the young man who lost in the jade belt in front of him was Fusu, the great prince of Daqin today, so he was very nervous, and he repeatedly made mistakes in playing cards, and was finally driven away by Yu Wuya, and Chen Xu had to go on top.

The four of them talked and laughed easily while playing cards, winning and losing, Fusu seemed to have never had the ease and pleasure of playing cards with Chen Xu and others, and he was reluctant to go back to the palace.

"The three of you stay, Fusu will come back tomorrow, and you will definitely win the jade pendant back!" Fusu sat in the carriage with a pair of mahjong in his arms, and he was still a little unsatisfied.

"Haha, Your Highness remember to bring money tomorrow!" Yu Wuya held two jade pendants in his hand and laughed heartily.

Seeing Fusu's carriage and horses leave, Chen Xu's face became slightly serious.

Today's events may be unintentional, but they are intentional.

When Fusu came to invite him into the palace, on the way, Chen Xu also roughly learned about Concubine Zheng's illness from his mouth, according to later generations, it was called postpartum depression, plus status and status, as well as Qin Shihuang's attitude towards women, so Concubine Zheng became more and more lonely and silent, her mood was not good, she was depressed, and she naturally couldn't eat or sleep.

Therefore, on the way to the palace, Chen Xu was constantly thinking about how to handle this matter carefully.

Concubine Zheng's identity is different from others, he is the mother of the emperor's eldest son, Fusu.

The palace of Qin Shi Huang is huge, there are hundreds of concubines, there are thousands of palace women's football teams, and there are more than 20 of them with heirs, but such a big harem, there is no queen, this is a very strange and strange thing in Chinese history, there are countless speculations in later generations, the most important of which is that Qin Shi Huang because of the chaotic relationship between his mother Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei and Chang Yu, which caused him to hate women very much, so he was reluctant to set up a queen.

Of course, Chen Xu also roughly agrees with this statement.

But since it has traveled to this era, if you want to change Great Qin, it is better for Qin Shi Huang to set up an empress, which is more conducive to the stability of Great Qin.

And the mother of the emperor's eldest son, Fusu, is the best candidate for the queen in terms of identity and status.

As for the inheritance of kings or princes and property, as early as the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, it was fixed by etiquette, that is: the establishment of a descendant is not a virtuous one, and the son is a noble one. This is the so-called primogeniture inheritance system, and this patriarchal system was not canceled until the founding of New China in later generations, but because the customs and habits formed by this system have too great an impact on the Chinese circle, many big families actually use this primogeniture system to maintain the development of the family.

Throughout Chinese history, the primogeniture inheritance system is an important means to maintain the normal replacement of the entire feudal dynasty, which greatly guarantees the replacement of the emperor and does not lead to the chaos of the country.

To a large extent, the death of Great Qin II is also greatly related to the disrespect for the patriarchal system.

Hu Hai is the youngest son of Qin Shi Huang, according to the normal inheritance relationship, it will not be his turn to be the emperor anyway, so after Zhao Gao and Li Si supported him to come to power, Hu Hai killed all his brothers and sisters in one breath because he was afraid, and he really became a lonely man, and there was no direct blood relationship with the support of the Zhao clan, and he was completely manipulated and played by Zhao Gao.

And Hu Hai's approach also made the Manchu civil and military detachment from morality.

For the sake of autocratic power, Zhao Gao deceived and bewitched Hu Hai to kill Li Si, kill Feng Quji, kill Meng Yi, kill Meng Tian, and after killing all these pillars that supported the Great Qin Empire, Great Qin collapsed in an instant, completely burying the originally powerful Great Qin Empire.

You must know that when Liu Bang, Xiang Yu and others rebelled, Daqin's troops were still extremely strong, 400,000 people were stationed in the south to suppress Baiyue, and 300,000 people were stationed in the northwest to resist the Xiongnu.

But the result was that after the uprising broke out, the soldiers in the south under the leadership of the general Zhao Tuo drew the land as the king and claimed that the Nanyue Kingdom was independent.

The 300,000 troops in the northwest were taken over by Wang Li, and led 200,000 of them south to join the 400,000 prisoner army led by Zhang Han, but in the battle of Julu, the people's hearts were chaotic, and the nine battles were defeated and the army was defeated, and Wang Li was captured and killed by Xiang Yu.

The 300,000 Qin troops stationed on the Northwest Great Wall are the most elite troops of Great Qin, but why they were quickly defeated by the peasant army led by Xiang Yu, the reason for this is very simple, because these 300,000 troops have always been controlled by Meng Tian, Meng Tian was killed, and Fusu, the eldest prince who was supposed to be the emperor, was forced to commit suicide. On the contrary, the 400,000 prisoners who repaired the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor near Xianyang became the main force to resist the righteous army, and this also became the only army in the hands of Hu Hai that could fight, but soon this army was also defeated by Xiang Yu, and the general Zhang Han was also killed by Zhao Gao because he was afraid of returning to Xianyang, so he surrendered directly, and the army of 200,000 prisoners who surrendered was killed by Xiang Yu, and Daqin had no ability to resist at all.

As the saying goes, there are no rules.

Li Sigui is the left minister, and he has devoted his life to the rule of the Legalists to fulfill his ambitions, but he did not respect the law and destroyed the Great Qin Empire that he supported with his own hands, and even buried his own life.

One of the very important reasons for this is because Qin Shi Huang has never set up a queen, and the so-called improper name is not good, even if Fu Sugui is the eldest son, but his mother Concubine Zheng is only the identity of a lady, which is no different from Hu Hai's mother's identity, so there is no halo protection of the eldest son, which leads to Zhao Gao can support Hu Hai to power very well.

Therefore, if Qin Shi Huang can set up Concubine Zheng as the queen in advance, and then through the reorganization of the court system, then many things can be solved smoothly, even if Qin Shi Huang dies suddenly, even if someone is overbearing, Chen Xu can also contact many ministers to support Fusu to come to power, because Fusu already has a legitimate legal inheritance.

And if Concubine Zheng is to be made the queen, then her illness must be improved, and she must be favored by Qin Shi Huang.

But this is not easy, after all, Concubine Zheng is almost forty years old, and she can't compete for favor with the young and beautiful concubines in the harem, so she can only use her maturity to impress Qin Shi Huang.

After all, Qin Shi Huang is also forty years old, no longer an energetic age, what he needs is warmth and understanding, not endless tossing on the bed.

Therefore, Chen Xu said something in the palace today, and used a sycophant to make Qin Shi Huang happy, as long as he can change Qin Shi Huang's mind a little and be able to love Concubine Zheng again, then it is not impossible to be in the future.

Because Chen Xu could see that Qin Shi Huang still liked his eldest son Fusu.

And today's approach seems to have worked, at least Qin Shi Huang is willing to stay in Concubine Zheng's bedroom, plus drink a little wine, it is almost inevitable that the two will stay warm at night, as the saying goes, heart disease still needs heart medicine, as long as Qin Shi Huang is often pampered, Concubine Zheng's depression can also recover faster.

What's more, the effect of stinky tofu that Chen Xu said in the palace is not nonsense, Concubine Zheng's depression Shen Ke has been accumulated for more than ten years, as the saying goes, serious illness still needs fierce medicine, eating too much delicate and delicious food caused by the disgust of eating this smelly and fragrant strange food may really make a big difference, and stinky tofu contains a large number of plant-based lactic acid bacteria, after eating, it can strengthen the stomach and regulate the intestines, and it does have the effect of improving appetite.

Nima, Lao Tzu is now in charge of more and more, and he even has to worry about the affairs of Qin Shi Huang's wife!

Chen Xu returned to the room and sighed.

But in any case, whether it is for Qin Shi Huang or Concubine Zheng, this is an unprecedented change.

The next day, the wind and snow subsided slightly, and by noon, the snow finally stopped after three days.

More than two feet of snow was on the ground, and more than three feet outside the city.

The entire Weihe Plain is covered in silver, and the Qinling Mountains are meandering, like a silver dragon lying between heaven and earth, which is extremely majestic and magnificent.

In the courtyard of the Qinghe Marquis's Mansion, a group of domestic servants are shoveling snow, piling up several piles, and also using wooden shovels to prepare to make several huge snowman statues.

Chen Xu made two convex lenses out of ice, and was holding them up in his hand to observe the layers of palaces and city walls in the distance, watching the black dragon flags hunting in the wind on the city walls flip and flutter.

Yu Wuya, Yingbu and Wang San also took two ice lenses and looked around, all of them full of interest.

"Master Hou, His Royal Highness Fusu is here again!" The steward Huangfu ran over in a hurry.

Chen Xu had no choice but to hand the two lenses to the maid beside him, and then tidied up his clothes and hair and went out to greet him.

"Your Highness came so early today, it's not to turn the book!" Chen Xu smiled and bowed to Fusu who got out of the car.

"No, the Marquis of Qinghe, please go into the palace with Fusu, I dedicated mahjong to my mother today, I didn't expect my father to be very interested, but I am not very familiar with it, many of the skills are not very clear, so I specially invited the Marquis of Qinghe to enter the palace to explain!"

"Uh, okay!" Chen Xu couldn't, so he had to go back and change his clothes and arrange for the carriage to follow Fusu into the palace.
