Chapter 568: Wenzhi Martial Arts
A quarter of an hour later, under the escort of the forbidden army, Chen Xu came in with two cooks carrying an ice bucket, because he was in a hurry, his forehead was sweaty, and his clothes were also sweaty.
"Your Majesty!" After entering the door, Chen Xu respectfully saluted Qin Shi Huang.
"Aiqing is exempt!" Qin Shi Huang had already greeted the door at this time, looked at Chen Xu's sweaty face, took Chen Xu's hand and said with concern on his face, "The weather is so hot, why is love in such a hurry, could it be that there is something important to report?" ”
"It's not an important matter, in recent days, the heat is unbearable, the minister has developed a new snack in the courtyard outside the city, called ice powder, which has the effect of cooling and relieving the heat, and the minister specially made some and sent it to His Majesty to taste!" Chen Xu said with a smile.
"Hehe, Aiqing has a heart, this weather is indeed very hot, Taibu Zhan said that there will be little rain and drought this autumn, it seems that it must be good, Aiqing's delicious ice powder is in this bucket?" Qin Shi Huang asked, looking at a tightly wrapped wooden barrel wrapped in animal skins and linen cloth placed at the entrance of the main hall.
"Exactly, the minister asked His Majesty to summon the imperial physician order and the imperial official order to come to inspect and taste one or two, and I have already told the imperial kitchen how to make it, and I also made dozens of catties of ice powder and sent it to the imperial dining room, Your Majesty can arrange the imperial dining room to make it at any time if you want to eat in the future!"
"Okay, I'm still considerate!" Qin Shi Huang smiled very happily, and ordered the palace people to carry the wooden barrel in and put it in the center of the main hall, and uncovered the lid of the barrel with his own hands, and instantly a cool breath came to his face.
And looking at the clumps of crystal clear ice powder floating in a clay basin inside the wooden barrel, under the double stimulation of vision and feeling, Qin Shi Huang felt that half of his body was transparent at once, and even his restless soul was quiet.
"Sure enough, just like the legend outside, its shape is like ice, its quality is like snow, crystal clear like ice crystal chalcedony, I feel much cooler before I enter it, come here, take the jade bowl!" Qin Shi Huang couldn't wait to turn around and order.
"Yes!" A palace maid withdrew, and soon brought over a delicate light blue jade bowl.
Qin Shi Huang took the bowl and handed it to Chen Xu: "Trouble Aiqing to make a bowl for me, I can't wait!" ”
"Your Majesty still summons the Imperial Physician Order and the Imperial Official Order first!"
"Don't use it, if I can't even believe Aiqing, how can I dare to believe in the world, Aiqing is my humerus, like my arm, why should you distinguish between you and me!" Qin Shi Huang said with a warm face and helped Chen Xu.
"Thank you Your Majesty for your trust, and you should do your best for Your Majesty!" Chen Xu bowed excitedly.
"Aiqing doesn't have to be like this, since Aiqing arrived in Xianyang, everything he has done has been seen by everyone, and all the piles and piles are for my Great Qin, this disaster relief also made me see Aiqing's benevolence in the world, I was deeply moved, and I was greatly inspired, or Aiqing was right before, you can take the world immediately, not rule the world right away, and take it against the grain and obey it, which is the way to govern the country, so I have been thinking about this matter in recent days, well, Aiqing do it quickly, I will taste it first, and I will discuss one thing with Aiqing later!"
At the urging of Qin Shi Huang, Chen Xu hurriedly filled a bowl of ice powder, then opened a ceramic wine bottle of Qinghe Jiajiu in the barrel, poured out some fruit vinegar and honey juice from it and poured it on the ice powder, and then put his hands respectfully on the desk and said, "Your Majesty, please taste!" ”
Qin Shi Huang sat down, looked at this bowl of crystal clear ice powder that still exuded a slight coolness, and without the slightest hesitation, he picked up a bamboo spoon and scooped a small piece into his mouth.
"Well, it's cool and sweet, the color and taste are good, it's indeed a good thing to relieve the heat......" Qin Shi Huang admired while eating, the bamboo spoon danced quickly, and quickly ate a bowl of ice powder, and then wiped his mouth with his sleeve, stood up and scooped a bowl of ice powder himself, Chen Xu helped pour sweet and sour, this time Qin Shi Huang slowly tasted it, and it took a few minutes to eat.
"Love is worthy of being a master of food, eating ice powder has a ingenious artistic conception, two bowls of eating, I feel like the summer heat is gone......" Qin Shi Huang was in a comfortable mood at this time, his whole body was cool and transparent, and he couldn't help but praise Chen Xu viciously.
"Your Majesty, this thing can't be stored for too long, it will turn into water after two or three hours, and the taste will deteriorate, the minister suggested that His Majesty let people send the rest to the concubines in the harem to taste, on the way to the minister, I heard that the concubine sent someone to Qinghe Garden to buy but could not get it, the minister was a little panicked......"
"Aiqing is a great minister of Great Qin, and he is also my humerus, so why be afraid!" Qin Shi Huang waved his hand and then beckoned a few palace people to carry the remaining ice powder to the harem and send it to Concubine Zheng and a few other concubines he liked, and also specially told the five princesses to send some.
After watching the palace people carry the ice bucket away, Qin Shi Huang said to Chen Xu with a smile: "Aiqing hasn't come to the court for a long time, and I haven't come to chat with me, I miss it a lot, and I'm not in a hurry to go back to the house today, I have some things to discuss with Aiqing!" ”
"Your Majesty, please!" Chen Xu didn't know what the emperor wanted to say, and after thinking about it in his heart, it seemed that there was nothing major except for disaster relief and the collection of summer grain tax recently.
"I heard that Ziying went to follow Aiqing to class a few days ago, and when I came back, I saw that he wrote a sentence on the paper, which made me feel very deeply, it seems that Fusu was right to hope that Aiqing would be Ziying's teacher!"
"But the industry is good at diligence and frolic, and the success is in thinking and ruining?" Chen Xu sat on the big chair and arched his hand.
"Exactly!" Qin Shi Huang nodded, his face returned to his usual plain demeanor, "Ziying also told me the story about the emperor of the Tang Dynasty who covered his beloved bird, which made me deeply shocked, today Aiqing is in person, I want to listen to this story carefully!" ”
"Your Majesty wants to hear it, the minister naturally does not dare to hide his privacy, this story comes from the three volumes of the book of heaven in the Kyushu Anecdotes, the minister said before, the Kyushu Anecdotes recorded are all specious things throughout the ages, many things can not distinguish the true from the false, the story told by the minister is one of the founding kings of the Tang Empire, named Li Shimin, he rose in the troubled times, led the army to the east and west to discuss the final Ding Shenzhou, Li Shimin ascended the throne and called the emperor at the beginning of the diligent governance of the country, within a few years the world was governed in an orderly manner, and the people were rich and rich, But as the world gradually became peaceful, the Tang King was also complacent, and began to get tired of playing in the court, but he had a minister named Wei Zheng, who was still a subordinate of the Tang King's opponent before, because he was honest and never flattered, the Tang King took great pains to take it under his command, and Wei Zheng also helped the Tang King unify the world and made great contributions, so when the Tang King began to enjoy himself, Wei Zheng would criticize him face to face every time, and even questioned him face to face because of the mistakes of the King of Qin in the court, and the Tang King was very angry, Many times I wanted to kill Wei Zheng, and Wei Zheng was not afraid of him, and bluntly contradicted the Tang King and said: Good medicine is good for disease, and loyalty is good for action, you were determined to be a Ming Jun, a virtuous king, and an emperor who loves the people to follow you to fight the world, but now you can't listen to advice, what is the difference between you and the faint monarch in history, you kill me will only make the world laugh at you, and now the four seas are not quiet, and there are many barbarians who want to invade our country all the time, what face do you have to covet pleasure, Wei Zheng always spoke so bluntly and advised, and the Tang King felt ashamed because of Wei Zheng's advice, so he no longer dared to be greedy for pleasure but worked hard to deal with government affairs, so for more than ten years, the Tang Dynasty has been unprecedentedly prosperous and has become the most powerful empire in China throughout the ages......"
"Your Majesty, covering the bird to death is just a very inconspicuous matter between Wei Zheng and Tang Wang's ministers, there are many such things that happen between the two, and then Wei Zheng died, Tang Wang was inexplicably sad, and he felt that he could no longer find a courtier who could scold him like Wei Zheng, so he wept bitterly and said: The husband uses copper as a mirror and can be dressed properly; With the ancient as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; With people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses. I always keep these three mirrors in case I make mistakes. Now Wei Zheng has passed away, and he has died in one shot! ”
"Your Majesty, this is the complete story between the Tang King and Wei Zheng, although there is disharmony between the monarch and the minister, but it is the most memorable story in the Kyushu Anecdotes, the medicine is bitter, and the loyalty is against the ear, but if you want to be an honest and selfless person, you must be able to accept the mistakes and shortcomings pointed out by others in person, and the minister told this story to Ziying, but also to let Ziying be able to listen to advice like Tang Wang in the future, and be able to tolerate the direct reprimand of the courtiers, so that the future of Daqin will be passed on through the ages!" After Chen Xu finished speaking, he arched his hand and looked at Qin Shi Huang.
"With copper as a mirror, you can be dressed; With the ancient as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; With people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses......" Qin Shi Huang's face was serious, but his eyes were a little confused, and he whispered this sentence in his mouth, and only after a long time did he look up at Chen Xu: "Aiqing, I am better than Tang Wang?" ”
"If you talk about merit, Your Majesty wins, if you talk about martial arts, Tang Wang wins!" Chen Xu thought for a moment and replied.
"It's also the same thing that is set in the world, why do you talk about merit?"
"The unification of the world and the unification of the six countries are one, this is an immortal achievement, and no one can surpass Your Majesty!"
"Essay on martial arts, where does the Tang King win?"
"The Tang Dynasty recovered the four Yi and conquered the world, the territory is more than three times that of the Great Qin, the population is 80 million, is four times that of the Great Qin, and now the Xiongnu Donghu Zhudi, the Western Regions Zhuhu until the west is thousands of miles away, all are the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the giant boat travels in the rivers and seas, the products are piled up into mountains, silk porcelain is sold to the country of the four seas, the people in the territory are rich and there are no ragged people, there are no poor and no home, there are no traitors and lawbreakers, singing and dancing to level the hearts of all the people, throughout the ages, it can be called the first in the world of civil governance and martial arts, Your Majesty can not reach!"
"I can do that!" Qin Shi Huang looked at Chen Xu directly, as the first emperor who has achieved hegemony through the ages, Qin Shi Huang thinks that he can do better than Tang Wang.
"The minister also thinks so, but at the moment, His Majesty is still inferior to King Tang, and the minister is just talking about things, and has no intention of offending His Majesty!" Chen Xu said lightly.
"I hope Aiqing can be my Wei Zheng!" Qin Shi Huang stood up.
"Your Majesty invites, your ministers want!" Chen Xu stood up and respectfully bowed his hand again.
"Okay, with the mirror of Aiqing, I will inevitably be the first in the world in terms of civil and martial arts in the future, collect the land of the four yi, and subjugate all the countries in the world to come to the court!" Qin Shi Huang stepped forward and took Chen Xu's hand and swayed it again and again.
A few days ago, he heard that Fusu took his children to Chen Xu's other courtyard outside the city to study, so Qin Shi Huang took the time to visit Fusu's dormitory, most of which was mainly out of curiosity, because he wanted to know what kind of governance Chen Xu could teach a six-year-old child.
As a result, when he arrived at Ziying's study, he saw the sentence written on the paper by Ziying, which made him feel that Chen Xu was really unusual, because although this sentence seemed simple, it had a very profound truth, so he asked Ziying a few words, and Ziying recalled the content of Chen Xu's class and said it again.
A novel country, such a domineering courtier, and such an elegant emperor, all these elements aroused the emperor's interest.
That's why there is this right between today's monarchs and ministers.
Every accomplished emperor must be competitive, if he doesn't even have this mind, then it will be impossible to achieve brilliant things.
The First Emperor faced an emperor who might be more powerful than him, and although this story may be apocryphal, it can't be made up, and I can do what he can do.
And the content of Chen Xu's teaching of his children and babies is naturally also well thought-out, if he wants to assist Qin Shi Huang, he will inevitably arouse Qin Shi Huang's ambition, and Qin Shi Huang must be not lacking in ambition, but Qin Shi Huang's martial arts are more than enough to govern and lack of culture, and he is too heavy on spells and despises the people's livelihood, plus the six kings and nobles are still ready to move, although the external troubles are not as good as the Tang Dynasty, but the internal worries are much more powerful than the Tang Dynasty, after all, before Li Shimin ascended the throne, the Great Sui had already helped him unify China, and what Li Shimin did was just to overthrow the rule of the Sui Dynasty. The internal worries faced are much smaller than those of Qin Shi Huang.
Therefore, Chen Xu needs to let the emperor know that it is not enough to unify the six countries, but to be an emperor through the ages, in addition to martial arts, Wenzhi must also keep up.
As for the content of the lecture, Chen Xu believes that Qin Shi Huang will find out about it no matter how busy he is, and then he will inevitably be interested in Tang Wang.
And interest is the biggest source of motivation.
Chen Xu believed that as long as Qin Shi Huang understood this specious history, he would definitely not be willing to do worse than the Tang Dynasty.
After chatting for a while, Chen Xu said goodbye and left Zichen Palace, and followed a few palace people to Huayu Palace to visit the fifth princess Ying Shiyan, who had not come to visit for a long time.
