……

Back at home, Chen Xu was still smacking his lips to show that he didn't understand.

In his opinion, the First Emperor is all right, but he is too indecisive in this matter, if it drags on like this, Chen Xu is a little afraid that he will not see the day when he will assist Qin Da to conquer the earth, after all, this has just done the Yueshi, and the area under his current control will reach the location of the Later Shijiayuguan at most, and there are still two thousand miles away from the Tianshan Mountains to the west, and although the two roads in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains can lead to Central Asia, the terrain and situation along the way are more complicated than the Yueshi.

"Why does the husband look sullen?" Back at the Hou Mansion, Shui Qing, who was practicing swordsmanship in the backyard, came up to help sort out his clothes.

"Today, the emperor plans to assess several princes and choose one of them to guard the Yue Clan, but Feng Xiang suddenly proposed to set up a prince first, and as a result, he sat in the Zichen Hall for an hour in vain!" Chen Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head to explain briefly, and sat on the wooden chair in the garden with his gentle hand to bask in the sun.

"The emperor is so hesitant, it is indeed too indecisive, but this is the emperor's family matter, and the husband should not be too worried, the weather is still good today, the spring is warm, gently teach the husband to learn swordsmanship!" The water gently pushed Chen Xu, who was napping with his eyes closed, and said gently.

"Well, it's okay, I've been meditating every day recently, and I also feel that there is strength in my body, so I can learn a few tricks to control the enemy's self-defense, and when the time comes, I won't be chased by Ma Teng again!" Chen Xu got up with a grunt, and quickly went into the room to change into a tight-fitting and narrow-sleeved samurai suit, and came out with a long sword in his hand.

"My husband looks more energetic in this dress!" The water was gentle, and she couldn't help but be beautiful, and her eyes lit up, and she kept praising it.

"Hehe, Xiao Sheng is the jade-faced little white dragon known as the Jianghu people, dare to ask this woman what her surname is, who is the teacher, and where is the teacher, have you ever promised to be married?" Chen Xu smiled and held the long sword and bowed softly to the water.

"Hee-hee!" A rare smile appeared on Shui Qingrou's face, and then her face quickly returned to her usual tranquility and softly whispered: "Husband, sword practice is important in the harmony of minds, so first of all, you must concentrate and calm down, and all your thoughts fall on the sword in your hand......

Now there are too many people in Chen Xu's family, and there are very few opportunities for the two of them to be alone like this, the weather is fine today, and the backyard is quiet, so Chen Xu began to clumsily learn swordsmanship with the help of Shui Qingrou, Shui Qingrou taught very seriously, but Chen Xu learned a mess.

A sword is usually soft and soft, and Yu Wuya, Xia Zijin and the others are easy and bright to use, and it seems to point where to fight, but when it falls into Chen Xu's own hands, it feels like an eighty-year-old lady walking, trembling and afraid of dancing too fast and poking himself to death.

Soon half an hour passed, Chen Xu had only learned three moves, and he was already tired and sweating, just when the water gently and constantly instructed him to repeatedly practice a golden rooster independence, Yu Wuya ran in from outside, still carrying a rabbit in his hand.

"Hey, Engong is still practicing swords!" Yu Wuya was stunned for a moment and then dragged Chen Xu, who was independent of the golden rooster, down, "It's useless to practice swordsmanship, it's better to use a musket to be refreshing, I just caught a hare outside the city, Engong quickly go and make a charcoal roast rabbit ......"

Chen Xu's face twitched, wiping his sweat and said, "Who said that practicing swords is useless, I still want to be a big swordsman!" ”

"Engong, don't make trouble, the big swordsman is useful, Huang Shigong is so powerful that he hasn't been beaten into a sieve by a musket, I don't practice swords now, go and make delicious roast rabbit meat, I've been hungry for days!" Yu Wuya dragged Chen Xu away, leaving Shui Qinglu standing in the courtyard in a daze alone crying and laughing.

Chen Xu killed Huang Shigong with the Taiyi God Musket at sea, which was a great blow to Shui Qingrou, Yu Wuya and Xia Zijin.

They have been practicing swordsmanship for more than ten years, and they are vulnerable to the musket, even if Huang Shigong, who has broken through the innate realm, can only die of hatred under the bullet, so after coming back, Yu Wuya went out to bring a firearm every day, and he used to get up early to practice almost every day, but now he gets up every morning to study the firecracker, and he is almost a little crazy.

……

"Ahem......"

Coming back from Zichen Palace, Li Si also sat in the back garden to bask in the sun.

Although it is already the thick spring season, it will be summer in about ten days.

But in such a warm sun, Li Si felt that his body was getting colder and colder, as if there was a kind of cold that reached the bone marrow and wanted to freeze the whole person, this situation has become more and more obvious recently, and he is often haunted by the nightmare of various poisonous insects, snakes and scorpions in the middle of the night.

"Could it be that the old man has really reached the year of destiny!" Li Si's face was a little desolate, and he reached out to touch a slightly raised pimple on his back and gently rubbed it, feeling a faint stinging pain that connected his heart.

Since last year, he followed the emperor to tour the southeast and had a serious illness, although he was cured by Zhao Gao's miracle medicine, but after all, the old man was decrepit and his blood was exhausted, and he would feel this biting chill every time he didn't drink a sip, but Zhao Gao had already made it clear that he only stole two gourds of that kind of medicine at the beginning, and he heard that this kind of medicine with no toxic side effects at all was not made by many of the herbs, so the supervision was extremely strict, Li Si only got half a gourd at the beginning, and now he has drunk it to the bottom, and the remaining half gourd is taken to detoxify Qinghe Hou, and a gourd imperial physician ordered to be collected in the imperial medical office for the emperor to drink.

Li Si felt that if he wanted to live a few more years, this medicine was the key, and he used ordinary decoction pills almost every day on weekdays, but this situation did not improve much, and even became more and more serious.

"Master, don't say anything frustrated, it's just that the weather is cloudy and sunny this spring, do you want the old slave to find a doctor to diagnose the old man and prescribe a few herbal medicines to recuperate?" The old butler said beside him.

"Don't use it, I've already seen it at the Imperial Medical Office, and there will be medicine delivered in a while, go and help me make a pot of hot tea, and by the way, get today's newspaper too!"

"Yes, sir!" The housekeeper left, Li Si sat on the recliner and pondered about today's Zichen Palace, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his body was cold and unbearable, and gradually felt that his hands and feet began to tremble involuntarily, and even the strong sun in the sky seemed to have turned into an ice ball.

Li Si stood up tremblingly, trembling slightly and staggered towards the study, but every step felt like stepping into the cold water, and he fell down as soon as he walked into the study.

"Bang Dang~"

The old housekeeper who came over with a pot of hot tea and a newspaper looked at Li Si who was lying at the door of the study, threw away the teapot and newspaper in fright, rushed up to help Li Si and yelled: "Come on, go and call the imperial doctor, the old man has fainted!" ”

In an instant, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was in chaos, some people went to the Tai Hospital to ask for a doctor, and some people went to the palace to report the news.

And Li Si was seriously ill in an instant like a gust of wind swept across Xianyang, the emperor's edict came out of the palace, the imperial hospital and the imperial medical office moved quickly, a large number of imperial doctors poured into Li Sixiang's mansion like a marquee, and all kinds of precious medicinal materials were also transported from the palace treasury to Li Si's mansion in large carts, Li Si fell ill for less than half an hour, the emperor personally drove out of the palace to visit the prime minister's mansion, and instructed the imperial doctor and the imperial doctor to save Li Si.

……

"Bang Dang~"

The kitchen door of the Qinghe Marquis Mansion was suddenly knocked open, and Chen Xu, who was concentrating on roasting a hare, was startled, and when he looked up, he saw a steward rushing in with a happy face.

"What's the matter with such a hurry?" Chen Xu frowned.

"Master Hou, the news just came that Li Xiang is dead!"

"What?" Chen Xu was stunned suddenly, and then grabbed the steward's neckline with his hand stained with sauce, "You say it again, Zuo Xiang Li Si is dead?" ”

"Yes, there is a legend on the street that Li Xiang died!" The steward nodded repeatedly.

"Is the news true?"

"Message...... Message ......"

"Master Hou, the emperor urgently summons you to the palace!"

Just when the steward couldn't determine the truth of the news, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion hurriedly ran in to report it.

"Engong, it seems that Li Si must be dead!" Yu Wuya gloated and poked out a smoky black face from behind the stove.

Li Si's death is indeed good news for Chen Xu.

When he was in Zichen Palace, Chen Xu was still cursing how this old man didn't die, but he didn't expect his wish to come true so soon.

Although Li Si does not have much threat to Chen Xu's reform at the moment, he is Hu Hai's teacher, and he is also Shangqing and the prime minister of Zhongshu Province, as long as Chen Xu does not die for a day, he will not rest assured for a day, basically only Li Si and a group of Legalist disciples are hostile to Chen Xu in the Manchu Dynasty now, and for Chen Xu's reform, in fact, more people are in a wait-and-see state, not supporting or opposing, because whether they support or oppose, it is not their turn to call the shots.

After Chen Xu hurried to the palace, he learned that the news was not confirmed, Li Si was not dead, but according to the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor and the imperial doctor, Li Si's condition was very serious, he was completely unconscious, his breath was intermittent, and there was a dorsal gangrene on his back...... Judging from various circumstances, Li Si may be in danger this time.

In addition to Chen Xu, the ministers recruited by the emperor also include Meng Yi, Feng Qujian and several old and serious princes, and the purpose of convening these people is also very clear, that is, to make arrangements for the operation of the court after Li Si's death, because it depends on the situation Li Si may also be seriously ill if he does not die this time, and he has almost no ability to deal with government affairs, and Li Si is nearly seventy years old, this age has long belonged to the point of stepping into the coffin with half a foot, even if he looks extremely healthy, he may die at any time, so after Li Si is seriously ill and comatose, The emperor did not panic at all, and after a hurried visit, he began to gather important ministers to discuss the future.

Li Sixiang's mansion was overcrowded, dozens of imperial doctors were crowded in Li Si's bedroom, although the temperature was very high at the turn of spring and summer, everyone was sweating on their heads, but Li Si slept on the couch, covered with a thick blanket, but his gray and wrinkled face was like frost, his breathing was weak, his teeth were clenched, his whole body was trembling, and the room was filled with a strong smell of decoction.

Imperial Physician Ling Zhou Jiong, Imperial Physician Cheng Xu Fu, Imperial Physician Department Decree and a large group of Imperial Physicians and Imperial Physicians all gathered together to discuss with solemn faces, even Zhao Gao, who was wearing a mask and a headscarf, was among them.

"Alas, I'm afraid Li Xiang won't be able to!" A gray-haired imperial physician kept shaking his head.

"The whole body is cold to the bones, and the back is poisonous, this is a desperate elephant!" Xu Fu also sighed with an ugly face.

Even if he and Chen Xu wore a pair of pants, as a doctor, the feeling of powerlessness in the face of this helpless serious illness made him feel an inexplicable sadness.
