Chapter 1216 Playing cards out of order
"Wow~~"
The civil and military officials in the court were shocked and commotion. Many people had already understood the meaning of the emperor's actions, and their faces were extremely complicated.
"How can I dare to accept such a great courtesy of Your Majesty!" Chen Xu quickly stood up and bowed to the end, and also bowed deeply. "I am a mountain village man. Fortunately, your Majesty admires you to have the opportunity to assist Your Majesty. What I do is to uphold the teachings of your master. Your Majesty should not break the evil deeds!"
"Chen Qing, don't refuse. I am just an emperor in the mortal world and cannot give my beloved more honor. Only the honor of the Grand Master can express my respect. Come and lift the Grand Master's seat out!" The First Emperor turned his head and ordered.
"Here~" As the answers of several eunuchs came out, a group of large and round imperial guards quickly carried a pitch-black and wide seat from the back hall, and placed the big chair on the right side of the first step below the Qin Shihuang dragon chair, slightly to the southeast, almost as high as the First Emperor, he could look down at the entire court. He was only one step away from the dragon chair of the Nine Five Lord.
All the civil and military officials in the court looked straight at the big chair, their hearts were beating so hard that they could not hold them down. At the same time, their mouths and tongues were dry and they felt blood flowing out of their temples and Niwan Palace.
Taishi, this is the head of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
Tai means greatness, and the ultimate is Tai.
Although the Grand Tutor is a king's minister, he is a king's teacher. When the king sees him, he also wants to bow down to his teacher's courtesy. In this era of respecting teachers and respecting Taoism, this is already the ultimate of a minister.
But the person in front of him who was respected as the Grand Tutor by Emperor Qin Shi, was too young and was only twenty-two years old this year.
Xunzi recommended the rule of law in the country, and advocated the supreme world of heaven, earth, king, parents and teachers.
Although you are above, Chen Xugui is the master. This noble title is enough to shine the entire Qin Dynasty. Anyone who sees you will worship you.
Although Chen Xu was prepared for a long time, he thought that the emperor would give him a title of Grand Tutor, and then rewarded a lot of real estate, land, wealth, and slaves, but he didn't expect that the First Emperor had even prepared a seat for him.
Qin Shihuang took Chen Xu's hand and walked step by step to the eighth floor steps. He stood in front of the big chair, looking at the strong and thick big bed carved with the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, water, fire, and dragon turtle patterns... Chen Xu was still a little dizzy when he was big chair.
Your Majesty is not playing according to the rules.
It’s so difficult for the Master to sit so high?
Chen Xu has been in Xianyang for seven years and is no longer a novice. Although there are no three dukes in the Qin Dynasty, the three nobles are the three dukes in the past. They lead and ministers to assist the emperor in governing the country's affairs. Although their status is extremely noble, they can only sit down like all civil and military ministers and listen to the emperor's command and help out their suggestions.
He really didn't expect that the emperor would let him sit next to his dragon couch.
Chen Xu looked at the chair like a big bed, and then couldn't help but look back at the civil and military officials below. He suddenly felt a look of high above. Meng Yifeng Quji, who was on the same height as him, was waiting for several officials of the court who were the same as the three ministers and nine ministers. At this time, they all seemed to have a smaller circle, and there was a clear hurdle that was above them.
"Please sit down with the Grand Master!" Emperor Shiniu held the respect of his disciples again, bowed deeply before asking Chen Xu to take his seat.
"Nee~~" Chen Xu suddenly woke up and bulged his cheeks, shook his head and was about to refuse, but the First Emperor pressed him down, and showed a satisfied and warm smile on his face, turned around, and his eyes swept across the court and spoke seriously: "Today, I respect Chen Qing as the Grand Tutor, and since then, I will listen to the government with me. The Secretariat is still under the leadership of the Secretariat. If you see the Grand Tutor, you will be respectful and polite. The Su Mansion Order immediately planned to use a seal. After the scattered court, the Ministry of Works will prepare to build the Grand Tutor's Mansion, the Ministry of Revenue will investigate the household registration and land in Jingyang County, grant the Grand Tutor a hundred hectares of fertile land, a hundred hectares of mountains and forests, and an additional fief of 5,000 households. The Ministry of Rites will follow the etiquette of the Zhou system and the title of Grand Tutor to set up clothing, chariots, horses, and ceremonials…"
"Your Majesty..." Chen Xu couldn't help but stand up.
"The Grand Master should not refuse, and there is no need to be nervous. My intention is to decide this. Chen Qingquan should regard it as my gratitude to Taiyi Immortal Lord with the Taiyi God Cannon." Qin Shihuang waved his hand to stop Chen Xu from speaking.
Chen Xu had no choice but to stop. Now the First Emperor is the biggest in the court. Continuing to shirk responsibility and disputes will only embarrass the First Emperor, and there is no benefit to the harmony between the monarch and the ministers.
As for this sudden edict, civil and military officials were surprised and could only accept it.
When Chen Xu first entered Xianyang, the First Emperor wanted to be the Grand Tutor, but was blocked by all civil and military officials. They all said that Chen Xude was not qualified for his reputation. Although the First Emperor gave in at that time, Chen Xu's performance later was like a cheating. His actions within six or seven years were dazzling, and anything he did could only be described as jaw-dropping.
Now seven years have passed, and the emperor has been holding it in for so long, and finally he hit Chen Xu's iron hat with a clang.
Today, no one in the civil and military officials jumped out to object.
Because even Chen Xu himself couldn't stop it.
The First Emperor was already determined to spoil Qinghehou, the immortal disciple, as his teacher, and this passionate teacher-student love has become a foregone conclusion.
The Grand Master, the noble title that was personally abolished by the First Emperor, was finally released again today, and it is so vigorous and unstoppable.
At midday, the court will disperse, and soon a news swept across Xianyang City like a hurricane and was transmitted to all directions at a speed of huge waves.
The Marquis of Qinghe was appointed as the Grand Tutor by the First Emperor. During the court discussion, he sat high on the right side of the emperor to follow the government. He ordered the Grand Tutor's Mansion to be established and the fief of five thousand households...
This is news that shocked the world, and the actions of the First Emperor were extremely sudden, almost everyone did not come to their senses.
After the scattered court, Chen Xu entered the palace again to thank Qin Shihuang. When he left the palace, it was already late noon. At this time, the sun was the strongest, and the streets and alleys were crowded with people. Seeing Chen Xu's carriage, the streets instantly knelt down in a dense crowd. Many officials and gentry bowed respectfully and shouted in unison to pay homage to Tai Shi Chen.
Chen Xu was so amused that he had to open the car window and waved his hand while leaving the city. Originally, today, he planned to go to the riverside with his family for a picnic after going to Shangsi Festival, but now it seems that this plan is going to be ruined.
Sure enough, when Chen Xu's carriage left the east gate, the river beach was already crowded with people. When he saw Chen Xu's carriage coming, tens of thousands of people knelt down like tsunamis. Shui Qingrou Ying Shiman and others, who were originally playing on the river beach, were all holding their daughters and servants to greet each other.
"Congratulations to your husband for being named Grand Tutor!" Shui Qingrou Ying Shiman Meng Wan saluted together.
"Congratulations to the Marquis for being named Grand Tutor!" Fan Caiying and Fan Caiwei and a group of maids and servants also bowed excitedly.
"It's useless and polite. This matter is too sudden. Your Majesty's kindness is hard to stop. Please follow me home first. Later, your Majesty's envoy will go to the Marquis' Mansion!" Chen Xu waved his hand with a wry smile and told his servants to prepare their carriages and horses to return home quickly.
"Brother Xiaoxu~~Wait for me~"
Accompanied by a clear and bright sound, a rapid sound of horse hooves came. The crowd dispersed, and Yu Ji was seen riding her black and shiny black hair all over. Her pretty figure, colorful dress, and black hair were flying in the wind. Her ultimate face was like an elf girl, instantly causing cheers and cheers from countless boys and girls on the river beach.
"Yu~~" Yu Ji took the reins, and the black squatted and stopped two feet away from Chen Xu. Yu Ji jumped gently and got off the horse's back. He jumped to Chen Xu in three or two steps and grabbed Chen Xu's arm, "Brother Xiaoxu doesn't wait for me!"
"I didn't even see you, so I blame me for not waiting for you. Besides, I want to go home and wait for the imperial edict. You can continue playing on the river beach!" Chen Xu said with a smile and wiped the sweat from Yu Ji's forehead with his sleeve.
"We are all a group of junior college students who can only fly kites and kick shuttlecocks. It's not fun. I heard Brother Meng Yun say that you are the Grand Tutor?" Yu Ji said in a strange and coquettish way.
"Well, I just went to court to His Majesty to signify me as the Grand Tutor. Next, some imperial edicts will be sent to the mansion. We must go back to welcome the imperial edicts quickly. Since you don't want to play, let's go back together!" Chen Xu waved his hand and ordered his maids and servants to serve Ying Shiman, Meng Wan, Fan Caiying and others as soon as possible.
"The emperor is so boring. Why do you want to make your brother the Grand Tutor today? I want to have a barbecue and picnic with you!" Yu Ji followed Chen Xu into the car and looked out the window in a depressed mood.
"How can you blame Your Majesty? You can go to the picnic at any time, let alone your father and Miss Xia are coming back. Wouldn't it be even more lively when we go to the picnic together?" Chen Xu comforted.
"By the way, husband, Xing'er brought a letter last month and said that she and Dashi got married after the Dragon Boat Festival in May. Should we prepare to go back soon?" Meng Wan sat next to her, holding her daughter Yanxia, but was thinking about her sister-in-law's marriage.
"Yes, Sister Xing'er is getting married, we all have to go back. I wonder if my father can catch up!" Yu Ji's interest was also attracted instantly.
"According to the last letter from my senior brother, they should have arrived in Langya at this time. Maybe they will return to Xianyang in the past few days!" Shui Qingrou said softly.
"I guess that's the same, otherwise I wouldn't have said it in the court a few days ago. This time, Brother Yu got so much money back, I'm afraid the entire Xianyang City will cause a sensation, and it will definitely be so lively that it will explode!" Chen Xu said with a smile.
"Husband, you won't donate all the silver and sulfur to your father, right?" Ying Shiman held her second daughter Fangfei, and looked at Chen Xu with a pair of beautiful big eyes with some concern.
"Haha, look at what you are worried about. These silver and sulfur must be given to Shaofu and the Academy of Sciences, but the money is still ours. Two percent of it is handed over to Shaofu as taxes, and 80% of the money will be paid to us by redemption. This time, after more than two years of going to sea, Cao Shen and Xiao He and the boatmen suffered with each other. I plan to give them 10% of it to reward them. After all, they were summoned at risk of their lives and must get enough rewards. The remaining 70% I plan to build a ship leasing company, use this money to build dozens of large sea ships and purchase navigation equipment, and then rent these boats to those explorers who want to go out to sea to make a fortune. In addition to providing enough funds for shipbuilding, it can also stimulate the enthusiasm of people to explore the sea. In this way, Brother Yu's long journey has been hard for nearly three years, and it is a perfect merit!" Chen Xu smiled and told roughly the purpose and whereabouts of the money.
