At the end of the day, although it was winter, there were already many pedestrians on the streets, and horse-drawn carriages kept coming and going in the bustle.

In addition to Chen Xu, the ministers who went to the court every day also rode in a carriage to the court hall in the center of Xianyang City at this time.

On the square outside the Xianyang Palace, a straight avenue leads straight to the main gate of the Chaoyi Palace, the ninety-nine steps are divided into three layers, the forbidden army wearing Xuanjia and holding a halberd has already lined up to stand guard, the black dragon flag is hula and rolls in the morning breeze, the atmosphere is solemn and solemn.

When Chen Xu arrived, the civil and military ministers who were qualified to go to the court had already arrived one after another, and the luxury carriages of four or two horses stopped in the square one after another, and then greeted each other and stepped up the steps to the court hall together.

When Chen Xu got down from the carriage, he immediately attracted the attention of many people, and they were all full of surprise, not knowing why the Marquis of Qinghe, who had been silent in Xianyang for nearly a month, came to the court today.

"Qinghe Hou is good!" Several ministers who got off the bus hurriedly saluted Chen Xu.

Although the Marquis of Qinghe is silent on weekdays, no one dares to underestimate it, because this product is deeply loved by the emperor, and he will be recruited into the palace to eat, drink and have fun at every turn, and even heard that he also entered Concubine Zheng's bedroom to accompany the emperor and Concubine Zheng and the eldest prince Fusu to play a game called mahjong, which has never been seen in the whole Great Qin Dynasty.

"Hello adults~" Chen Xu, the ministers who greeted him, basically didn't know each other, so he could only smile and say hello next to each other, and then walked towards the court hall together.

When he walked into the main hall, the ministers who had already arrived in advance saw him come in, and they all greeted Chen Xu with a suspicious face, even Li Simeng Yi Feng Qujian was no exception, Chen Xu naturally could only return the salute one by one, dozens of bows, and felt that the two big buns he ate in the morning were almost exhausted, and he felt a little hungry and had some back pain.

A large chair covered with black bear skin was still placed at the front of the left, closest to Qin Shi Huang's dragon chair.

This chair has been placed here since the day Chen Xu was named the Marquis of Qinghe, although it is empty on weekdays, it has never been moved, and it is tidied up every day.

Chen Xu endured his thumping little heart, smiled all the way and saluted past everyone, and finally walked to the front of the chair, stared at the chair for a long time, and finally sat down.

At this time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty above the main hall have basically arrived.

Dozens of pairs of eyes were almost all looking at him.

I'm rubbing, this is a special test for people!

Chen Xu was sitting on pins and needles, feeling that there were caterpillars crawling around all over his body, but in order to maintain his composure, he looked at his nose and nose with concern, his eyes lowered, and he began to adjust his breathing according to the gentle water and the Taoist contemplation method of Yu Wuya's teaching, and slowly some things were forgotten.

Chen Xu's calm approach also made the Manchu Minister of Civil and Military Affairs even more surprised, muttering and muttering began to communicate left and right, all discussing why Chen Xu suddenly came to the court.

"Your Majesty is in court~"

With a shout from a confessor, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military hurriedly stood up from the chair, holding the wat board and looking at the direction of the apse, after a while, Qin Shi Huang was wearing a dark dragon robe, wearing a jade crown, and strode out of the apse with a majestic face accompanied by several palace people and guards, and at the same time his eyes swept over the hall, when he saw Chen Xu, who was still sitting on the chair and closed his eyes, he was stunned for a while, and then walked to the imperial case with a calm face and sat down with a big sleeve.

"See Your Majesty~" The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty bowed down together.

"Everyone, love Qing Ping!" After Qin Shi Huang finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Chen Xu, and said with a slightly strange expression: "Li is close, please wake up the Marquis of Qinghe!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Si's cheek twitched slightly, took two steps forward, and gently poked Chen Xu a few times with the wat board in his hand.

"Ah~ what's the matter?" Chen Xu was woken up in a panic, his hands and feet fluttered a few times, and he stood up with a blank face, only to find that Qin Shi Huang didn't know when he was already sitting on the dragon chair, and the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty were still staring at him.

I'll go, how many days did Lao Tzu sleep?

Chen Xu hurriedly wiped his mouth with his sleeve and saluted respectfully to Qin Shi Huang, "Your Majesty forgives me, the minister is not used to going to court so early, so he couldn't help but take a nap for a while!" ”

"Haha, it's okay~" Qin Shi Huang may have never encountered such a fun thing in most of his life, and he laughed heartily with a smile on his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated!" After laughing, Qin Shi Huang spoke, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty took their seats one after another, and Chen Xu also sat down with embarrassment.

"Why is the Marquis of Qinghe suddenly interested in coming to the court today, there must be something to play!" Qin Shi Huang changed his usual inquiry, and looked at Chen Xu with a smile on his face.

Chen Xu had no choice but to stand up again, salute with a wat board in his hand and said: "Your Majesty, after nearly a month of preparation, under the coordination of your lords and the government officials, the Great Qin Royal Academy of Sciences has begun to operate, and the first batch of materials and craftsmen requisitioned are also ready, after a few days of testing, the steel has been refined, and some new weapon samples have been created, so the minister specially came to report to Your Majesty, hoping that Your Majesty can choose a day to go to the martial arts training ground of the factory outside the city to review the results and test the power of the new weapons." ”

The ministers of civil and military affairs below immediately whispered.

Although everyone knows that Chen Xu is responsible for managing the Daqin Academy of Sciences, and they also know that the Academy of Sciences is used to research and manufacture some things, they don't know what is being studied inside, Zhao Gao and the craftsman Shaofu Ling Ao Ping and Zuo Zhong Hou Shang Tu may know some general situation, that is, using coal and stone to make iron, but unfortunately the smelting workshop and the iron workshop are surrounded by walls, and everyone inside is strictly managed by the forbidden army.

"The factory of the Academy of Sciences is ten miles outside the city, and the developed things can be sent directly into the city, so why bother to work and move out of the city, and if the cold ground is freezing today, the cold river breeze is not good for Your Majesty's health!" Zhao Gao stood up and said.

"The servant is reasonable, a few weapons can be sent into the city, Your Majesty drove thousands of honor guards out of the city, a negligence and an accident, has the Marquis of Qinghe ever considered it?" The craftsman Shaofu Ling Ao Ping also stood up.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Shang Tu also stood up.

"The ministers seconded the proposal, Your Majesty's body is important, and you must not leave the palace rashly!" More than a dozen ministers who were close to Zhao Gao and others all stood up together to dissuade them.

Qin Shi Huang looked at Chen Xu with a slight hint of doubt on his face.

"In the past, His Majesty shook the long-term strategy and won the universe, swallowed two weeks and died the princes, performed the supreme and controlled, and spurred the world to vibrate the four seas. The whole world is not the king's land, the shore of the land is not the king's ministers, whether it is the officials, the people, the craftsmen, or even the merchant slaves, they are all His Majesty's people, regardless of the noble and the low, are all doing their duties for His Majesty and for Daqin, the Royal Academy of Sciences is His Majesty's industry, and the craftsmen and slaves in it have been smelting steel and building weapons day and night recently, in order to be able to use these weapons to sweep the Huns and Baiyue one day, so that my Majesty will be able to use these weapons to sweep the Huns and Baiyue, so that my Great Qin will be forever undisturbed. Swallowing charcoal paint body stabbed Zhao Xiangzi many times, and finally killed himself, leaving the eternal story of the death of a confidant. If Your Majesty can personally visit the craftsmen in the factory, personally inspect their achievements, and cordially receive them as a reward, all the craftsmen and apprentices and even the convicts and slaves will be grateful to Your Majesty for the kindness of your knowledge, and swear allegiance to Your Majesty, which is an act to win the hearts of the people. ”

After Chen Xu finished speaking at length, he looked at Qin Shi Huang with a wat board in his hands.

"Qinghe Hou said it well!" A doctor in the rear stood up in support of the loud voice.

"Your Majesty, what the Marquis of Qinghe said is very much in favor of the ministers!" Another doctor stood up.

There was silence in the main hall.

These two doctors are usually soft-spoken in the court, but they are representatives of Confucian disciples, and they particularly advocate the word benevolence and righteousness that Chen Xu said, so no matter what the purpose of Chen Xu's words is, they represent another kind of wind that is completely different from the atmosphere of the court, which seems to be ...... The Marquis of Qinghe is an advocate of Confucianism, and there is such a high-minded marquis who calls for Confucianism, and it is too sorry for the identity of a Confucian disciple if he does not stand up at this time.

"Okay, I'll personally go to the construction site outside the city to see what kind of magic weapon the Great Qin Royal Academy of Sciences has developed, which can help my Great Qin sweep away the Huns and Baiyue!" Qin Shi Huang hesitated slightly, and then agreed.

At the same time, he was also a little excited in his heart, just now Chen Xu's first few sentences were completely above his heart, vibrating the long-term strategy and Yuyu, performing the supreme and controlling **, these two sentences are completely his most proud credit.

"On behalf of all the craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences, thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Xu bowed to the end.

"Qinghe Hou, please take a seat, I will go to the factory immediately after the dispersal of the dynasty, you Aiqing can participate!" Qin Shi Huang nodded and began his daily government affairs.

Although the civil and military officials of the court all had their own concerns about this matter, since the emperor had already agreed, there was no room for change in this matter, so they all packed up their moods and began to report to the court.

Although Chen Xu was blind to the handling of these government affairs, he was still very interested in sitting on the chair as a bystander, listening carefully to the kings and ministers, and at the same time secretly observing the pattern above the court.

More than an hour passed in a flash, and the boring government affairs were too much to listen to, Chen Xu began to doze off again, and in a daze, he heard a sound of moving chairs, and suddenly opened his eyes, only to find that the early dynasty had ended.

"The servant quickly arranged the carriages and horses, and I was going to inspect the factory outside the Academy of Sciences at noon, and you Aiqing also went with me, and it was only twenty miles away, so I should be distracted!" After Qin Shi Huang finished speaking, he stood up.

"Congratulations to your majesty to the palace!" All the ministers saluted together, and after seeing Qin Shi Huang enter the apse, they exited the court hall in order.
