At present, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, as long as there are noble families with high-ranking titles, all live in Xianyang, which is an important way for Qin Shi Huang to control the ministers of the hundred officials, so that it is convenient for the ministers to rebel when the three clans are destroyed, once they rebel, none of them can escape.

Wang Jian is like this, and Li Si is also like this, this is almost the pair of civil and military forces that Qin Shi Huang relies on the most today.

But Chen Xu is different, his identity is too special, although his family is poor, and Qin Shi Huang has already inquired about the details of his family, but he is sure that Chen Xu is a disciple of the immortal family, so Chen Xu's family is the only one to stay in his hometown, and Qin Shi Huang did not dare to move, and he didn't even dare to ask Chen Xu to take his family to Xianyang to live, for fear of making Chen Xu misunderstand.

And Chen Xu had a conflict with Li Si only a day ago, and today he asked to return to his hometown to visit his relatives, so Qin Shi Huang was not worried, he was afraid that Chen Xu would be unhappy because he did not deal with Li Si, what if Chen Xu did not come back after returning to Nanyang Funiu Mountain? Then his way of being an emperor will not be successful in this life.

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

Therefore, Chen Xu promised to return to his hometown for more than a month, which made him feel relieved.

Although Chen Xu is young, the past few months in Xianyang can be said to be the time when he has changed and felt the most since he ascended the throne and became the emperor, whether it is eating habits or restructuring the court, whether it is improving ironmaking to build horse harness weapons or some unbelievable ideas casually put forward on weekdays, or handling the newspaper and proposing to divide the Fang family warlocks stranded in Xianyang, all of which made him feel the importance of Chen Xu's existence, and once he had doubts or couldn't figure out something, he would think of Chen Xu as soon as possible. Instead of thinking of Li Si or Wang Jian as before.

This kind of thinking has become a habit.

It seems that as long as Chen Xu is by his side, he feels at ease, no matter whether it is internal or external affairs, he can get the answers he wants from Chen Xu, although sometimes many answers make him feel unbelievable, but Chen Xu can always put this idea into practice.

And as an eloquent emperor, he can naturally feel from Chen Xu that if his Great Qin really wants to prosper, prosper, strengthen the country, and the people and peace, Chen Xu is indispensable, and as for immortality, he has thought very little about it now.

Qin Shi Huang personally sent Chen Xu to the door of Zichen Palace, and couldn't help but say: "I heard that yesterday Shi Yan was sad in the dormitory for half a night, I don't have to marry Shi Yan, but Shi Yan: My Fair Lady, a gentleman is good, Shi Yan is knowledgeable and gentle, she is my favorite daughter, and she has admired her husband for a long time, I still hope that Mr. can marry Shi Yan, and I will be satisfied with his wife's courtesy!" ”

Chen Xu struggled in his heart, and saluted respectfully and said: "Your Majesty treats the minister so kindly, the minister is inexplicably grateful, and when the minister returns from Nanyang, there will be a mother in the hall at that time, if the five princesses do not dislike it, the minister will definitely marry the five princesses!" ”

"Okay~, when the time comes, I will give marriage, let the daughter of the Imperial Doctor's family marry Mr. Yu together, and become the gift of three wives, regardless of whether you are high or low!" Qin Shi Huang smiled contentedly.

"It's all up to Your Majesty!" Chen Xu hurriedly bowed his hand, and instantly felt that his heart was very numb.

Traveling to ancient times, and having a high position, three wives and four concubines are not something you don't want if you don't want it, marriage is just a political means, and many women can't marry it.

Qin Shi Huang, the daughter of a big boss, must not be pushed out again and again, otherwise it is easy to produce estrangement, there is an estrangement between the monarch and the minister, then nothing can be done, suspicion is long, and the final outcome is very unpredictable, not to mention that in the face of a gentle and beautiful woman like Ying Shiyan, it is false to say that Chen Xu is unmoved.

As for the imperial historian Meng Yi, he is an old hooligan, not only a hooligan in his mind, but also a hooligan in his body, and he is also a hooligan in his work, and he deliberately put Chen Xu in a dilemma, and there is no excuse to push back Qin Shi Huang's plan to marry his daughter.

Monogamy was popular in later generations, and many people said that they wanted to be single-minded and end, and they despised those flowery big robes, and when they said that the ancients had three wives and four concubines, they spit to express their purity, but in Chen Xu's view, it was those people who did not meet better, and if they did, I am afraid that they would change their minds faster than anyone else.

Let alone...... Lao Tzu is not a good man, otherwise why would he leave the water gently alone in his hometown and wait and hope for the empty house.

Only by marrying Shui Qingrou can he feel calmer and more comfortable, and can he accept this political marriage deal more calmly.

But life is like this, what kind of identity, what kind of status, what kind of outcome must be faced, many can't choose by themselves.

And marrying a wife, not to mention the more, the better, as a diamond-worth marquis, one, two, three is still necessary, and marrying the daughter of the fifth princess and Doctor Meng, there will inevitably be a lot less women sent to the door in the future, because the status of these two people can no longer find a third in Daqin, Li Si has no daughter, Feng Qujian has, but they are all married, so if other people want to cling to it, I am afraid that they will have to face the joint suppression of Qin Shihuang and Meng Yi.

Marrying three beautiful wives can be regarded as achieving the dream of the beginning! Although one of them still needs to be raised for a few years before it can be used.

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

The whole Hou Mansion is also in a mess because of this, the Hou Ye wants to go back to his hometown to visit relatives, the guards, servants, kitchen workers, servants, maids, maids, grooms, ......, all the total number of people is not three or five hundred people are embarrassed to go out, and I heard that the Hou Ye will return to his hometown to marry relatives this time, all kinds of silk and satin and money and jade must also be prepared, for a while, the whole Hou Mansion chickens and dogs jump, boxes and boxes of items moved out.

Chen Ping, Yingbu, Sun Shujiong and a group of other subordinates all returned, and the carpenters who came together with Ma Gong, Gong Lose, and the two Qinghe towns also put on brand-new official uniforms and prepared to return to their hometowns to visit relatives together, and for a time the entire Qinghe Marquis Mansion became a noisy market.

But Chen Xu squatted in the panda park, holding a panda and reluctant to let go.

"Master Hou, don't worry, we will definitely feed Tuan Tuan and Yuanyuan for nothing, and we will never be hungry!" Several servants who were in charge of taking care of the two giant pandas looked at their Hou Ye and kept standing beside him and persuading him bitterly.

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

Several servants shuddered at the same time and hurriedly nodded together, "Master Hou, you put your heart on your navel!" ”

"Okay!" Chen Xu left the panda park step by step, and the two giant pandas sat on the ground and gnawed bamboo shoots from beginning to end, the birds were too lazy to feed their Hou Ye every day, and even the eyes were very disdainful.

The entire Hou Mansion was a busy mess, and Chen Xu didn't bother to ask, he originally wanted to keep a low profile when he returned to his hometown to visit relatives.

But because Meng Yi suddenly snorted in Qinghe Garden, he fell into a very passive position and had to make the trip in advance.

What's more, the next few issues of the newspaper will publish several great discussions on statecraft, based on Xunzi's thoughts, integrating the remarks of mainstream schools such as Confucianism, Taoism, and Faming, so as to promote the cracking of the current situation of Daqin's exclusive magic, and the Legalist disciples represented by Li Si will inevitably be under great pressure.

He is not in Xianyang, so he can pretend not to know these things, let Chen Ping and others operate according to his instructions, and no one can interfere in the affairs of the newspaper except the emperor, even if Li Si wants to move, I am afraid that he will consider it again and again, not to mention that Qin Shi Huang has promised to prepare for the history museum and the bookstore, and he also personally promised to convene the leaders of the hundred schools of thought to discuss government affairs.

The reason why Confucianism will be so prosperous is that Confucius originally had the teaching concept of teaching without class, 3,000 disciples and seventy-two sages, wandering among the princes, many of whom were guests of the princes, preaching Confucian theories everywhere, and the image of the aristocracy was very large, and the vast majority of the hundred schools of thought were affected by the image of Confucianism, and they attached great importance to the etiquette and morality inherited from the Zhou Dynasty.

At this time, the Confucian theory is very different from the Confucianism of later generations, it is a very pragmatic school, in addition to emphasizing the humility and etiquette and morality, it is more about making a lot of requirements for personal behavior, stressing the inner and outer kings, not only requiring self-cultivation, but also emphasizing political opinions, teaching by example from the ideology, everyone respects the five virtues of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, so that a good gentleman's society will be formed, and the world will be peaceful.

However, the Confucianism of later generations was very deformed, and a large number of distorted interpretations of the theories put forward by Confucius and Mencius were carried out, and the idea of self-cultivation was imprisoned with various rules and regulations, thus forming a Confucian doctrine similar to a religious nature, so that Confucian disciples began to appear and sour Confucianism, only emphasizing behavior, not paying attention to thought, only knowing how to find chapters and excerpts, and not knowing its flexibility, Confucianism also greatly imprisoned the thoughts and behaviors of intellectuals, resulting in Chinese civilization from the Tang and Song dynasties, it went downhill step by step.

But at present, the strict Legalist ideology has seriously imprisoned the development of agriculture and industry, and is no longer suitable for the continued development of the Great Qin in the future, so it is necessary to find another more relaxed statecraft strategy, the Confucian theory of the inner sage and the outer king and the Huang Lao's technique of ruling by inaction, which is used to dilute and dissolve the solvent of the sole respect for the Legalist, introduce different concepts of governance, based on Xunzi's pragmatic theory, integrate the theory of Confucianism and Huang Lao's retreat, and weaken the pragmatic to deformed Legalist governance strategy. In the end, a statecraft that can be widely accepted by the disciples of the hundred schools of thought, and the emperor and the officials of the court can also be accepted, so that Daqin can walk on two legs and walk steadily.

And the emergence of newspapers is the best way to publicize.

The newspaper as a medium, coupled with the participation of many disciples of hundreds of schools of thought, spread much faster than the propaganda of Confucius's students running between the princes, and the resulting influence was naturally not the same.

According to Chen Xu's speculation, it will only take two or three months at most, and these newspapers will spread throughout Daqin, and under the guidance of the newspaper's propaganda and public opinion, there will be more and more scholars who can accept this kind of fusion thought.

Whether this matter can succeed or not, Chen Xu is not completely sure, because everything is in the hands of Qin Shi Huang.

But through these court reforms and the implementation of some policies, it seems that Qin Shi Huang can also accept his own ideas.

In this era, whether it is the emperor or the civil and military officials who are keen on politics, they are still in a semi-confused state of how to govern such a large country, and they are in a feeling of crossing the river by feeling the stones, and they want to reform many systems of the Zhou Dynasty, but they don't know how to change it to be better.
