……

For three days in a row, the emperor did not go to court.

Not only were the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty confused, but the people of Xianyang also privately circulated various versions of speculation.

The biggest speculation was that the emperor was seriously ill.

But there was no news of illness coming out of the palace.

Li Si, Feng Quji, and Meng Yi successively applied for palace visits, but they were all rejected by the emperor, which made the Manchu civil and military ministers even more panicked.

Therefore, whether it is a high-ranking official or a businessman, the common people, and even the disciples of the hundred schools who have been quiet for a long time began to become restless.

Even many of them had ill-intentioned nobles from the Six Kingdoms who began to contact the conspiracy in private, and the pedestrians on the street began to become cautious, and they did not dare to make loud noises when they talked.

But early on the morning of the fourth day, the gate of the palace, which had been closed for three days, suddenly opened, and countless guards and forbidden troops poured out like a tide, followed by five hundred black-clothed and masked Xuanwu guards, escorting the four-wheeled Tianzi chariot driven by six horses out slowly.

Through the open glass window, you can see Qin Shi Huang wearing a dark dragon robe and a crown of cupola, sitting in the carriage with a majestic and calm expression, and next to him sits a dignified woman with a delicate appearance, which is Ying Shiyan's mother, Concubine Yun.

"The emperor goes out on patrol, the idlers retreat, and the violators are beheaded~~"

Thousands of forbidden troops sounded the gong in front of the road, in the long horn sound and the emperor's shouts and cheers, Xianyang City, which had been silent for several days, seemed to be injected with a booster, and it came to life in an instant, and the people gathered from all directions to the central street leading to the east gate to watch the emperor who had not heard from him for several days.

And when all the people saw that the emperor was sitting in the carriage safe and sound, they were all instantly relieved, those who should buy vegetables to buy vegetables, those who should deliver goods, those who set up stalls, those who did business, those who read books, and those who read newspapers were at ease.

"Where did the emperor go on patrol?"

Li Si's mansion, Li Si, who was not in the mood to go to work in the government office for several days, was sitting alone in the study in a daze at this time, and when he heard that the housekeeper came to report, he suddenly stood up very excitedly as if he had suddenly returned to his body.

"Xiangye, I don't know where the emperor is going, but the car is heading to the east gate, and it seems that there is Concubine Yun with him." The butler replied respectfully.

"East Gate...... Concubine Yun ......" Li Si waved his hand with a dejected expression after chanting a few times, "You go first, don't bother me if you don't have anything important!" ”

"Yes, Xiangye!" The butler exited the room and gently closed the door to the study.

"Chen Xu, what did you say to the emperor......" Li Si sat alone in front of his desk, looking at the new green sprouting from the branches outside the window and the beautiful sunlight coming in through the window, his face was cloudy.

"The emperor took Concubine Yun out of the East Gate for a parade?"

Meng Fu, Meng Yi, who was also sitting in the study in a daze, suddenly stood up, and nodded as if he had suddenly realized, and his serious expression seemed to relax instantly.

And Feng Quji's mansion, Feng Quji was sitting in the courtyard at this time with a cup of tea that had long been out of temperature in a daze, and after receiving the servant's report, his tightly locked brows slowly loosened, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Without any warning, the emperor suddenly took Concubine Yun out of the east gate, if nothing else, it must be to go to the courtyard of the Marquis of Qinghe.

And three days ago, the emperor also suddenly did not go to the court to govern after receiving the Marquis of Qinghe in the Zichen Palace, and today must be because of the results of the discussion with the Marquis of Qinghe.

Although everyone didn't know what the Marquis of Qinghe and the emperor said, it was certain that this matter was very important, so important that the emperor lost his bearings a little, or so important that the emperor needed to think about it for three whole days before he could accept it.

This phenomenon not only entangled the three ministers, but also the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were even more entangled.

In addition to doubts and curiosity, we can only wait for the next time to see what instructions the emperor has.

This kind of non-government failure for several days without reason has never happened since the first emperor ascended the throne.

The emperor's style has always been as fast as a thunderstorm, and no matter the affairs of the government and the opposition, he can quickly decide, but only the emperor who may be important in this matter can't make up his mind, and needs to discuss with the Marquis of Qinghe repeatedly, and even personally drive to the other courtyard to ask for advice.

And in the past few days, Chen Xu has also been nervous.

Things about the earth are indeed a subversive theory for people in Daqin's era, and normal people will not believe it.

People who believe are absolutely abnormal.

Chen Xu is not a normal person, because he is a disciple of the Immortal Family, and what he does is not normal.

But although the emperor is not a normal person, after all, he can't get rid of the limitations of this era, and once the earth is a ball, the world will inevitably shake and be uneasy.

Believe it or not, the problem is that this completely unreasonable statement will inevitably cause fierce opposition from the disciples of the hundred schools, since ancient times, it is the saying that the sky is round and the land is round, and the marquis of Qinghe, even if he is a disciple of the immortal family, can not be blind J8 nonsense.

You say the earth is a ball, how can you prove it?

Can't prove it!

At least Chen Xu can't prove it now.

And when the emperor went out on patrol, Chen Xu was actually not in the Qinghe Courtyard, but in the Nanshan Courtyard, instructing a group of teenagers brought from Qinghe Town to conduct musket drills.

These teenagers are about the same age, they are all thirteen or fourteen years old.

After nearly three months of training and dietary supplementation in Qinghe Town, although it is still dark, the spirit on his face is no longer the same, standing neatly and neatly in rows, each holding a firearm more than one meter long in his hand is practicing the three-stage platoon gun shooting training.

Gunpowder and iron bullets were not used in the training, but the gun was constantly raised and collected according to the order, and then the ammunition was reloaded with a bamboo tube filled with fine sand.

Although the musket is sharp, if there is no strict reloading and shooting training, once it is on the battlefield, it may soon collapse under the frontal impact of the horsemen.

Although this particular musket unit may not be used, it is necessary to prepare in advance.

"Report, Master Hou, His Majesty the Emperor made a surprise visit to the Qinghe Courtyard, the two ladies please go back quickly!"

A fast horse rushed straight to the door of the Nanshan Courtyard, and a guard jumped off the horse with a token in his hand and rushed into the courtyard to report it.

Chen Xu was stunned for a moment and ordered the leader of the guards next to him: "Continue to arrange training, practice bows, sabers and guns after half an hour, and everyone is not allowed to leave the farm without my order!" ”

"Yes, Master Hou!" Several guards clenched their fists together.

And in the Qinghe Courtyard, there was already a mess at this time.

The emperor came suddenly without saying hello, and thousands of forbidden troops surrounded the dense layers of the Qinghe Annex, and hundreds of Xuanwu guards rushed into the courtyard, closely monitoring all the places that might hide the assassins.

The butler and hundreds of servants and guards all knelt on the ground to greet them.

Although Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan have married women, they are both teenagers after all, and they are a little overwhelmed in the face of the sudden emperor.

Chen Xu is not there, and the Hou Mansion has no backbone.

"The husband has not come back yet, the father and the mother can go to the living room with their daughter to rest and drink tea, so as not to be tired!" Ying Shiyan was happy to see her father, but she was also nervous, not knowing what her father was doing with so many people, and whether it would be detrimental to her husband.

"It's okay, the spring is thick right now, the peach and willow green scenery in the park is just right, I may not have been out of the city for a long time, today I have time to take your mother out to play, by the way, come to chat with the virtuous son-in-law, take your mother to the backyard first, I will wait here for the return of the virtuous son-in-law!" Qin Shi Huang smiled and looked kind.

"Yes, my daughter is leaving, and my mother will go to the backyard with my daughter!" After Ying Shifu saluted, she and Meng Wan accompanied Concubine Yun to the backyard, while Qin Shi Huang walked around the garden outside the Qinghe Courtyard accompanied by a group of Xuanwu guards.

This annex was only repaired last summer, covering an area of more than 200 acres, which is not only luxurious and atmospheric, but also unique under the guidance of Chen Xu.

The four-to-five-foot tall water tower standing by the canal alone stands out like a flock of chickens, and water pipes and pipes are erected on top of the fence to bring running water to the buildings in all directions.

A few bushes of bamboo have begun to grow several feet high bamboo shoots, one by one like sharp arrows, there are willows, pines, cypresses, plums, apricots, pears and many other trees grow intermingly, the green grass on both sides of the winding path, the bright sunlight sprinkles down, the whole yard is filled with a fragrance of flowers, and there are birds jumping and frolicking during the period, with a little bit of wild fun.

There was a small arched door on the side of the courtyard, the courtyard door was hidden, looking at Qin Shi Huang as if he wanted to go through it and see, a few Xuanwu guards quickly pushed the door out, and came back after a while to report.

"Your Majesty, there is a beast garden in the back, with two flowers!"

"Check it out!" Qin Shi Huang nodded with a flat face, and passed through the side door under the escort of a group of Xuanwu guards, and sure enough, he saw that it was a forest, and in a beast garden with several acres of wood fenced in, in addition to some bamboo, wood, flowers and plants, several wooden platforms and wooden frames were built with logs, and two giant pandas were climbing and playing on the wooden platform, and several servants saw the emperor coming in, and they were all frightened and kowtowed on the ground to greet them.

"Get up, don't be afraid, I heard that this flower likes to eat green bamboo?" Qin Shi Huang stood outside the fence with interest, looking at the fat rolling at the two ends, and said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this giant panda likes to eat bamboo and has a soft spot for fresh bamboo shoots!" An older servant hastened to answer.

"Go get some bamboo shoots, I'll feed them!"

"Yes!" Several servants hurriedly left, and soon brought more than a dozen bamboo shoots of all sizes, one of the servants knocked on the fence a few times with a bamboo stick, and the two giant pandas immediately rolled down from the wooden frame excitedly, and ran over with a rolling belt.

Qin Shi Huang personally picked up a bamboo shoot and stretched it out into the fence, a giant panda stretched out its fat paws to grab it, and as soon as he sat on the ground, he tore open the bamboo shoot shell and began to chew it, while the other panda was anxious and screamed, until Qin Shi Huang handed over another one, and then he sat on the ground with his mouth and started eating.

"Your Majesty, these two flowers were sent to the Hou Mansion by the fifth princess from the palace!" A servant said cautiously.

"Well, I also seem to remember that these two flowers were offered by Orion in Taiyi Mountain, and they were originally kept in captivity in the palace for people to see, I always thought that the flowers were eating meat, but I didn't expect them to eat bamboo......" Qin Shi Huang said as he took the bamboo shoots from a servant's hand and threw them in. (https:)
