……

In the spring of the thirty-first year of the first emperor, the tenth day of the first month.

A group of 300 heavily armed soldiers, armed with Changge and the black Great Qin Dragon Banner, escorted a delegation of ten carriages and several officials selected from the three provinces and six ministries, as well as interpreters from the Pawn Bureau, out of Xianyang City to the west.

At the gate of the city, Chen Xu and a group of colleagues in the newspaper hall and some relatives and friends who sent each other waved goodbye to Li Shun.

"Hou Ye, rest assured, I will definitely complete my mission to repay Hou Ye and His Majesty!"

Li Shun had a bruised mark on his cheek, and he waved goodbye with a twitch on the horse's back, and then left with a pinch of the horse's belly.

Originally, I heard Chen Xu say that hundreds of civil and military officials above the court were vying to be the ambassador of the Yue clan this time, but in fact, after inquiring the next day, he found out that Hou Ye was really talking nonsense, and no one in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty was willing to take on this drudgery that might not return.

But in any case, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and the emperor will have no room for change of office as soon as he gives the order.

Therefore, after listening to the seal in the court, Li Shun went home and hugged his wife and concubine and cried for a long time, and then did not go out all day to at home all day long.

"The rich and the rich can't be lewd, the poor can't be moved, the mighty can't be bent, what about the ambition of the husband you talked to the old man at the beginning? Such a great opportunity to serve the emperor and Daqin, but crying and crying like a woman, how can you say a husband, well, how can you say a husband? What's more, this matter is arranged by the Marquis of Qinghe, and it will inevitably go smoothly, and what kind of system will it become......

The thunder in the sky is big, and the uncle on the ground is big, under Qiu Cheng's beating and scolding, Li Shun can only frown and beg to admit his mistake.

As for why the old man suddenly came to the door and beat him indiscriminately, he didn't dare to ask.

And the inner truth of this matter is naturally only known to Chen Xu and Qiu Cheng.

Regarding Li Shun's changes, although Chen Xu usually doesn't care much about it, he still knows a little about it, when he comes back from the army in the northwest to get promoted and make a fortune, young people will inevitably swell, live in mansions to marry beautiful concubines, and go in and out of carriages and horses, which fully fulfills Chen Xu's promise to tempt him to go to the northwest to be a reporter with the army.

But how could such a good young man be wasted and buried?

Chen Xu personally came to Li Shun's mansion to inform the envoy of the matter, and found that this guy had nothing to do in the daytime to the two concubines on the kang, and as soon as he asked Xiao Yun about Li Shun's usual state, Xiao Yun began to weep and sob, and said that Li Shun had ignored her since he came back, spoiled the two concubines every day, and once said that he wanted to divorce her.

Chen Xu was angry at that time.

The so-called bad wife can not be abandoned, although the status of women under the Great Qin is not high, but there are provisions in the Qin law, the status of the husband and wife at home is equal, the wife can be punished for making mistakes, but the wife can also be punished if the husband makes mistakes, if the contradiction is big to go to the government for mediation, the officials will not be too biased towards men, and the theoretical things advocated by Confucianism have no basis at the moment, because what Qin Dada hates the most is the Confucian disciples who are full of benevolence and etiquette.

Chen Xu himself has three wives, which was arranged by the emperor, and Chen Xu treats them equally and respects them very much.

The most independent and flexible personality of the water is also Chen Xu's favorite, gentle as water and empathetic, he has always respected the gentle lifestyle of the water and never interfered, sometimes the interest comes, and the two will also turn the phoenix in broad daylight, but there is absolutely no forced action.

Ying Shiyan, as a princess, Chen Xu is more cautious and cautious, and there are very few hugs and hugs in broad daylight, this is to maintain the identity of the princess and the face of the heavenly family, so as not to let people gossip about Ying Shiyan, so the two have always felt respectful of each other.

Not to mention Meng Wan, Chen Xu is still well raised, if he were to be another man, he would have been unable to help breaking the melon, which is also a kind of love and respect.

As for Fan Caiying, Chen Xu is more pampered, and occasionally does some outrageous actions, such as swinging a swing and fighting a field battle or something, but he definitely respects Fan Caiying's ideas and will not force them, and Fan Caiying is a businesswoman with a low status, no matter what kind of daytime prostitution she makes with Chen Xu as a concubine, no one will make irresponsible comments, because her identity and status determine that her behavior will not attract criticism.

And Chen Xu has never been immersed in it because he likes her, and he doesn't work well.

Therefore, Chen Xu was naturally not very satisfied with Li Shun's changes, but it was not good to teach him a lesson in person, so he mentioned Li Shun's matter to Qiu Cheng, and Qiu Cheng was naturally angry.

As the saying goes, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized.

Li Shun has fallen to this point, Qiu Cheng, as an uncle, naturally wants to remind Li Shun for Chen Xu.

Therefore, after Li Shun was beaten, he honestly led the team to Yue's business trip.

Although the future is bright, it is a drudgery anyway, because it has just started spring, although the weather is slowly warming, but the northwest must still be cold, and the royal court of the Yue clan does not know where it is, even if it goes smoothly, it will take at least two months to return, and the flower world of Xianyang City will not be visible, and the little ladies of many gardens will not be able to hold it......

Li Shun's mood on the road was like mourning.

The news of the envoy Yue's clan spread in Xianyang, causing a slight ripple among the people, but as the envoy left, Xianyang City quickly calmed down and left the matter behind.

Because after the conquest of the Xiongnu and Donghu, the confidence of the people of Xianyang had already exploded, and the Yueshi, a barbarian tribe almost equal to the Huns, was actually not worth sending envoys, and it was over if they directly sent troops to fight them.

What's more, now the Oriental Road has been completely repaired, take a carriage and horse along this straight cement road to Qi County, more than 2,000 miles back and forth only takes about 20 days, a large number of merchants are preparing goods, just wait for the imperial court to officially issue an order to open to traffic, this road will be very busy overnight.

Li Sixiang's house.

The stove is hot, the kang is also warm, and it is covered with a thick black bear skin, and the silver-haired and old-faced Li Si is sitting on the kang, wearing a thick mink coat, and there are several middle-aged officials with serious faces sitting on the big chairs on both sides of the stove, all of whom are high-ranking officials above the court.

"Li Xiang, the Marquis of Qinghe is now pressing step by step, we still have to think of a countermeasure to clamp it down, otherwise if it goes on like this, there will be no chance for us to speak in the court!" Zhongshu Cheng Xie An arched his hand and said.

"Yes, Xiangye, Dongfang Dao bet failed, Qinghe Hou's new business law was promulgated and implemented, and we now feel that we are constrained everywhere, and many chapters in Shangshu Province are reviewed and approved by us, and they actually came to the door to insult us for not respecting the new business law......"

"Yes, even the candidate for the Yue clan this time, Qinghe Hou has also stolen the limelight from Xiangye, and he has become more and more aggressive......"

Several officials spoke one after another, hoping that Li Si could come up with a countermeasure to deal with Chen Xu.

"Clamp, how to clamp?" Li Si was silent for a long time and then spoke, "The old man can't do anything about the affairs of the Eastern Dao, the investment of 400 million yuan, such a huge project, he will complete it within a year, how can you let the old man stop it, Your Majesty is prosperous with him, and the old man can't do anything except forbearance!" ”

"It was a good opportunity for the Ten Evils of Spells to appear last time, but it's a pity that ...... Your Majesty is so gracious to the Marquis of Qinghe! An official sighed.

Lis's beard and eyebrows twitched a few times.

Originally, seeing that the construction of Dongfang Dao was too smooth, so he asked people to plan the strategy of the Ten Evils of Spells, hoping to provoke the emperor to ban hundreds of forums and newspapers, so as to give Chen Xu a hard blow, but he didn't expect Chen Xu to see through it, and he defused the attack with an understatement of retreat, and then buried his head in the government, and put his mind on the construction of Dongfang Dao, and also organized a Keju Conference, which made a lot of money lively, and even the emperor went to bet on the lottery of 100,000 yuan.

After that, Li Si didn't want to find a way to stumble Chen Xu, but because of one thing, he began to be afraid.

Because on the third day of the appearance of the Ten Evils of Spells, the emperor secretly went out of the city to catch fish and have a picnic with the Marquis of Qinghe.

This made him feel extremely dangerous and even dangerous.

Although the theory of the ten disadvantages of spells appeared very hidden, and no one knew about it except for Li Si and a few cronies, the timing of this incident was too strange, and it was not the same as Chen Xu's usual style, there was indeed a very violent wave at that time, and the emperor was also very angry, but because of the emperor's special trip, the entire court was quiet at once, and the subsequent disposition was also understated.

The emperor must have guessed afterwards that the policy may have come from Li Si, so he went out of the city to catch fish and cook with Chen Xu, and used this action to show his support for Chen Xu.

The battle between Li Si and Chen Xu became more and more intense, and the emperor didn't want Li Si to do more excessive things, and at the same time, this could also be regarded as a warning to Li Si.

Although the emperor didn't want to see the court officials in harmony, and he could only better control them by fighting each other, he also didn't want to see the two ministers he relied on the most fighting to the death.

Because Li Si has a criminal record, poisoning Han Fei at the beginning made Qin Shi Huang regret it, once the struggle between Li Si and Chen Xu reached the point of life and death, I dare not guarantee that Li Si will no longer use the means of indiscriminate, and Chen Xu is not Han Fei, he is a disciple of the Immortal Family, once Chen Xu is hurt, the wrath of Taiyi Immortal Venerable Thunder comes, and no one can bear the consequences.

Protecting Chen Xu is actually protecting Li Si and even the emperor himself in disguise.

Later, Li Si secretly stole Chen Xu's Five Poisons Soul Relief Water, hesitated for a few days and drank it for a few days, and finally it was the old age and frailty who carried this domineering poison, and almost died.

Even if Li Si believed that Chen Xu did not see the origin of Li Shun's family, this incident still gave him a heavy blow and warning, it seemed that it was easy for Chen Xu to kill him, and the methods of the immortal disciples were extremely strange, making people unguardable, and he could take the bait and find death.

Therefore, under the influence of these many factors, Li Si is now becoming more and more weak, even how much he resents Chen Xu in his heart, he has to endure it, because he can hardly find the means and methods to deal with Chen Xu now.

And if he continues to deal with Chen Xu secretly, he can't guarantee that the emperor will not be disappointed in him, once this happens, the status of the court will inevitably plummet, and it is very likely that he will go home early to retire.

What's more, the implementation of the new commercial law, from those rigorous and substantial legal provisions, he let him see another completely different realm of magic governance.

Even he began to expect to see more reforms from Chen Xu in the future.

Because the words of Chen Xu's new legalists have now been circulated, that is to say, Chen Xu himself also advocates the rule of magic, which can be seen from the promulgation of the new commercial law, the provisions are clear, the punishment is clear, and the scope and rights of businessmen and civilians are relaxed, but the restrictions and punishments on merchants are not relaxed.

Seeing that Li Si was silent, several officials could only say goodbye and leave.

Without Li Si taking the lead, these Legalist disciples who had previously upheld the invincibility of the government began to feel a kind of powerless desolation.

"Chen Xu, Chen Xu, the old man wants to see what you can change Daqin into? Even if the old man dies, you must not be the last person to laugh, a disciple of the Immortal Family...... It's not that he won't die, Enlong will always have a limit, it's just that day hasn't come yet......"

Li Si sat alone on the kang, tightly wrapped in a mink coat, looking at the blazing fire, and whispered softly in his mouth.
