Chapter 546: Go home and see if your mother-in-law is still there
After Qin Shi Huang finished speaking, he waited quietly for half a minute, and found that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty bowed their heads and were silent, so they retracted their eyes and said: "However, the Marquis of Qinghe refused the title of Taishi, and I have already asked the emperor's grandson to worship the Marquis of Qinghe as a teacher, and follow the Marquis of Qinghe to learn the art of governing the country, so I have named the Marquis of Qinghe as a young master today, and I have a thousand households in the ......."
"Young Master? The child's teacher? ”
Capturing the content of the emperor's words, the quiet court was in an uproar in an instant, and the eyes of countless people flashed with excitement.
Li Si, Feng Quji, and Meng Yi looked at each other and exchanged glances, and then each began to dial the small abacus hidden in their hearts.
And the officials of the three provinces and the six departments, as well as the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, all began to whisper to each other, obviously disturbed by this sudden news.
The young master, that is, the prince's teacher, has the position of the young master, and the emperor must have a plan to establish a successor in his heart, which is indeed an exciting and worrying good news for the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, because in the future, once the auxiliary prince ascends the throne, as an auxiliary minister, the last step to step on the position of the three princes to lead the court, one person under ten thousand people above the extremely human minister is almost a matter of course.
But what makes everyone strange is that Chen Xu, the young master, is the teacher of the emperor's grandson, does the emperor plan to pass on the throne to Ziying in the future instead of a certain son? This is completely inconsistent with the ancient rites.
But this is just the idea of ordinary officials, and there are still many people who guess that this is just an expedient measure of the emperor, because Ziying's father is Gongzi Fusu, once the emperor dies and Ziying is still underage, it will inevitably let Fusu come to power, but His Majesty has not completely made up his mind.
But at least from the emperor's words, it seems that the emperor already has some plans to make a prince, and the first choice is Gongzi Fusu.
In the earnest whispers and speculations of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, Chen Xu stood up and arched his hand: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister must carefully teach His Royal Highness Ziying, and never dare to hide his selfishness and slack!" ”
"Well, Ziying is still young, Qinghe Hou is busy with affairs, just arrange a class for Ziying every ten years, don't delay national affairs!" After Qin Shi Huang nodded, then his eyes fell on Li Si and said, "My youngest son Hu Hai is now in his school year, and his former teacher was Zhao Gao, but Zhao Gao was imprisoned on death row for committing capital crimes, so I want Li Xiang to teach Hu Hai, I don't know what Li Xiangyi will do?" ”
As soon as Qin Shi Huang's words came out, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces were even more surprised, and their faces were unpredictable and suspicious.
Although Li Si is not a young master, but he is the head of Shangqing, in the past, he was the position of the third duke, let him teach Hu Hai, this signal is also obvious, according to the emperor's degree of grace for Li Si, the status of this teacher seems to be more obvious than Chen Xu's intention to be a young master, if according to the rule of standing long and not young, once the emperor dies in the future, even with the assistance of young master Chen Xu, I am afraid that the next emperor is more likely to fall on Hu Hai.
But the emperor has more than ten sons, why does he attach so much importance to this youngest son? Moreover, Hu Hai was appointed as the crown prince, which is obviously inconsistent with the ancient rites.
"The minister has no objection, and he will carefully teach Hu Hai Gongzi the art of governing the country!" Li Si was stunned for a moment, then stood up and bowed.
Feng Quji and Meng Yi frowned almost at the same time.
Chen Xu also frowned as he sat down, but his face soon returned to the same as usual, but his heart was churning like a tide and it was difficult to calm down.
Zhao Gao has no possibility of turning over at the moment.
According to Chen Xu's idea, as long as Zhao Gao is crushed, the behind-the-scenes promoter who will support Hu Hai to power in the future will no longer exist, and there will inevitably be no situation in history where Hu Hai killed innocents indiscriminately after coming to power, resulting in the collapse of Great Qin.
But I never thought that as soon as one foot stepped on the shore, the other foot fell into the mud.
The emperor would even give Li Si the task of teaching Hu Hai.
This was something he never expected.
It was never even expected.
Pressing the gourd to float the scoop, in fact, racking his brains to pull Meng Yi and Zhao Gao to fight wits and courage, and finally succeeded, but history is still using its best efforts to twist and move on the trajectory known to future generations.
Once Li Si becomes Hu Hai's teacher, he will inevitably use his best efforts to push Hu Hai to power in the future, unless the emperor appoints a crown prince in advance.
But judging from the current situation, the emperor has no plans to appoint a crown prince for the time being.
Since ancient times, the mind of emperors has been the most difficult to guess.
Perhaps the emperor was not very satisfied with Gongzi Fusu.
Or maybe it's just a simple check-and-balance technique, pitting himself and Li Si against each other, forming a new ending of court balance.
For Qin Shi Huang, Li Si is definitely an important minister who can be completely relied on, and he is also the primary candidate who can hand over the Jiangshan Sheji to him for assistance, which can be seen from Li Si's status in the court.
And his own existence is an outlier, with the aura of a disciple of the immortal family, so it is different from all other courtiers, other emperors can control it, only Chen Xu himself, the emperor must feel that he can't control it, his own existence is actually outside the control of the court and the emperor, and the maverick is full of variables.
As an eloquent emperor through the ages, although he does not have more than 2,000 years of historical accumulation and vision, his heart is definitely the most powerful in the world, he allows himself to toss under his nose, but he definitely has his own plans and plans for the future of Daqin.
Even if he was really a disciple of the Immortal Family, the emperor would never allow him to get involved in his Jiangshan Sheji.
After half a year of getting along, although Chen Xu knew that the emperor was very important to him and relied on him, the emperor may also be worried that he would threaten the safety of the throne in the future, and that the emperor who would assist him in the future would be manipulated, just like Zhao Gao's secret plan, so he used Li Si to assist a prince to come to power, and when the time came, he and Li Si would show a situation of confrontation above the court, and Li Si would inevitably not be able to cover the sky with one hand, so as to ensure the control of the future generations over the Great Qin Jiangshan......
But why Hu Hai?
In addition to Fusu, the emperor also had more than 20 sons, and according to the order of the eldest and youngest, it would not be Hu Hai's turn to come to power as emperor anyway.
Could it be that Hu Hai's identity is different......
In an instant, Chen Xu thought a lot, but no matter which one he had, he didn't feel very reliable, so he could only quickly leave all the messy thoughts in his heart behind him first.
Because no matter what the situation, Chen Xu will never allow Hu Hai to come to power, even if Qin Shi Huang dies on the road a few years later, as in history, and does not set up a crown prince, he must kill Li Si and Hu Hai as a last resort.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty left the court with a tangled face.
Many ministers were in groups on the square outside the court to discuss the two things that happened in the end, and some people secretly looked at Chen Xu and Li Si.
If there was no Li Si as Hu Hai's teacher, most of the officials would definitely run up to greet Chen Xu with a smile on their faces, because the meaning of the young master's title is too clear, and the future successor of Daqin will either be Fusu or Ziying, but another decision of the emperor has made this matter confusing.
Chen Xu didn't communicate with anyone, so he walked straight down the steps and got into his carriage to leave.
"Hou Ye, Hou Ye~" A person behind him ran over panting, Chen Xu turned his head and saw that it was Li Shun, so he smiled and said, "Let's go, take my car and leave together, just as I was going to go to the newspaper office!" ”
"Thank you, Master Hou!" Li Shun was overjoyed and climbed into Chen Xu's four-bridle luxury carriage.
"You see what I said is right, I will make a great contribution to the northwest this time, and the rewards for the title of real estate and land are all in hand, and after going back, I will rest for a few days and then go to work in the newspaper hall, you are now a celebrity in Daqin!" The carriage walked while Chen Xu said with a smile.
"It all depends on the cultivation and weight of the Hou Ye, if it is not for the Hou Ye's earnest teaching, how can Shun have today's scenery, but the Hou Ye will be sent in the future, and Shun will inevitably only look forward to the horse!" Li Shun bowed respectfully.
"There is no need for this, just like you said at the beginning, just be a rich and noble husband who can't be lewd and poor and can't move, glory and wealth don't change your original intention, that's my biggest expectation for you, now that you've just come back, don't fool around for a while, hurry home to see if your mother-in-law is still there, has you run away with the wild man......"
Li Shun almost fell off the carriage as soon as he got over.
Wiping the sweat on his forehead all the way, he didn't dare to talk to this unobtrusive little marquis again, and when the carriage arrived at the newspaper hall, he couldn't wait to jump off the car and run home.
Although the little marquis is not in tune, he should not talk nonsense, and he has been gone for more than two months, and the lady is only eighteen years old, this may be ...... Hey, it's huge!
Seeing Li Shun running away, Chen Xu walked into the newspaper hall with small square steps and humming a little song.
After teasing Comrade Li Shun, Chen Xu felt that Fang Cai's depressed mood in the court suddenly felt much better.
"Master Hou!"
"Master Hou!"
When the people in the newspaper saw Chen Xu, they all stopped and saluted respectfully, Chen Ping, Fu Anqiucheng and others also came out of the office to greet them, Chen Xu didn't stay in the newspaper for long, but just briefly said the reward above the court, and then reminded Chen Ping to temporarily arrange for Li Shunxian to temporarily arrange an editor in the military section to familiarize himself with the business of the newspaper.
"Soldiers Triumphant, things are busy these days, sort out the manuscripts of the past two days, and strive to publish another special issue mixed with this issue of the newspaper to be issued together, especially the Martyrs' Shrine to publicize it well!"
"Hou Ye rest assured, we have received hundreds of submissions in the past two days, and we are selecting and sorting out, especially last night's fireworks scene, the people of Xianyang are stimulated and restless, there are more than 20 articles written about fireworks alone, there are poems and endowments, several of which are amazing!" Chen Ping said with a little excitement.
"You can do it, just choose to publish two articles for the fireworks, mainly on the rewards and rewards for the soldiers, and this issue of the newspaper should be printed as soon as possible."
Chen Ping suddenly said with a bitter face: "Master Hou, we also want to hurry, but the previous special issue has not been printed yet, and the last few issues of the newspaper have only published proofreading models, and I have been tired for several issues!" ”
"Yes, Lord Hou, when will the new printing hall be completed, otherwise the publication of the newspaper will not be able to catch up at all, not to mention that you have hired Yuliang to openly hold the periodicals of the 100 forums, and in the future, there will be a bookstore and a history writing hall that will need a large number of printing ......" Qiu Cheng and Fu An and others were also on the side to help.
"Don't worry, I just asked a few days ago, the new copper movable type mold has been completed for the most part, and has begun to cast, at most ten days can be provided in large quantities, when you want as many printing stations can be completed, by the way, you arrange someone to go to the bookstore, to see how the new printing plant is built, and at the same time quickly arrange people to make a word mold library and typesetting platform, printing platform, speed up the training of printing workers, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to keep up with the speed of publishing books, and, hire some craftsmen who are proficient in painting and engraving, At that time, there will be many books that will use a mix of pictures and texts......"
"Master Hou, I'm afraid it's too difficult to mix pictures and texts, just making a clear and exquisite picture engraving requires three carpenters, painters and carvers, and the speed is still slow, it takes three days to complete the engraving of one-eighth of the layout, and the price is too high......" Chen Ping continued to smile bitterly.
