Chapter 339 Just For Peace of Mind
Most of the snow on the street was arranged by the soldiers of the Lieutenant's Mansion to eliminate the people in the city and piled on both sides of the street, so the carriages and horses were smoothly passed. The snow on the roofs on both sides was half a meter thick, like a thick quilt covered on it. Although it was cold, some ragged and thin beggars were still staggering along the street, looking at the convoy of freshly dressed and angry horses, trembling all over. Even in some snow piles, you could see the bodies buried in it frozen to death. Along the way, you could see soldiers dragging the frozen people out of the city with carriages.
Chen Xu sighed slightly and said to a guard beside him: "You go back and notify the manager and ask him to arrange for people to set up pots outside the mansion to cook porridge for free to the homeless people. At the same time, go to nearby doors to purchase some old clothes and distribute them to those who are thin. There is no limit on money and grain expenditure, go!"
"Here~" Although the guards didn't know why Chen Xu did this, they still took the order and left.
"There are people who are frozen to death and starved to death almost every day after the winter. There are so many beggars in the world, so I am afraid that my benefactor will not save them!" Yu Wuya followed the side with his sword and horse riding.
"The rich family smells like wine and meat, and the road is frozen to death. I just can't bear to see it. If a person doesn't even have the most basic sense of compassion, it's no different from beasts. If he doesn't save the person he sees in front of him, how can he save the world!" Chen Xu sat in the carriage and said lightly.
Yu Wuya silently lowered his head and pondered for a long time and sighed, "I don't know if the ambition of benefactor can be realized. It is really difficult to make peace in the country and peace in the world! The emperor cannot do these things, and the emperor ignores them, so why should benefactor force them?"
"It's not about forcing it, it's just for peace of mind!" Chen Xu shook his head.
...
Chen Xu entered the palace yesterday and today he entered the palace again.
And both times, the eldest prince Fusu personally welcomed and saw him off.
Although Chen Xu was young, his rise was very sudden, so his every move was under the attention of the princes, princes and ministers of Xianyang.
The incident about Chen Xu's stinky tofu for Concubine Zheng yesterday spread among the princes, princes and ministers almost overnight.
Therefore, many people began to speculate on the reason why Chen Xu entered the palace today.
At Zhao Gao’s mansion, several people were having a banquet and enjoying the fun.
In addition to Zhao Gao, there were also Jiangzuo Shaofu Order Ao Ping, Zuozhong Hou Shang Tu, Shi Gaoteng, and several other senior officials of the current dynasty.
After listening to the servant's report, Zhao Gao's face looked quite ugly.
This situation only shows that Emperor Shi Huang really valued Chen Xu very much and did not even shy away from the inner palace. Moreover, Emperor Shi Huang stayed in Zheng Fei’s bedroom last night, and some conversations between Chen Xu and Emperor Shi Huang were also spread in a few words. Through some of these words, through the attitude of the eldest prince Fusu towards Chen Xu, there was too much content conveyed.
Chen Xu was valued by the emperor and respected by the eldest prince, and was now associated with Concubine Zheng, which was definitely not a good thing for Zhao Gao.
Before the song and dance ended, Zhao Gao drove out all the singers and dancers, and even the servants he served were all gone.
"Why is Zhao Taipu depressed?" an official asked in confusion.
"Just just got the news, Chen Xu was recruited into the palace by the emperor!" Zhao Gao said with a gloomy face.
"Master Zhao, last time you traveled to the southeast with Your Majesty, I heard that it might be Chen Xu's gift that allowed Your Majesty to escape the assassination in Yangwu County. What you saw with your own eyes is really like this?" asked Gao Teng, a Shin-ji.
Zhao Gao shook his head and said depressedly: "There is indeed a tip, but no one can see the contents in it. Only Your Majesty knows it. But Your Majesty did order three sets of emperor co-pilots after reading a letter inside, so he just happened to escape the assassin's assassin!"
"Could this Chen Xu really be a disciple of the Immortal Family? Otherwise, how could he have the ability to be a prophet!" Another official said in horror.
"Chen Xu, I checked his background. He is just an ordinary mortal. When a disciple of the immortal family said it, he might just spread rumors!" Zhao Gao shook his head.
"What is the explanation for the sudden thunder and fire from the sky in Wancheng that collapsed the houses, and the Taiyi Divine Monument appeared?" Another official asked with a little nervousness.
"Yes, thousands of people in Wancheng saw this, and even His Majesty worshiped him personally. I just don't know what His Majesty and Chen Xu said when they were alone in the theater?"
"Master Zhao, it's better for us not to provoke Chen Xu! Today's banquet has been full, so I'll say goodbye to the mansion first!" Zhisu Nei Shi Gaoteng stood up and said.
"Well, thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your banquet today. We will say goodbye. I will ask Mr. Zhao to go to the mansion to have a banquet in the future!" Several other officials also stood up one after another to say goodbye.
After Zhao Gao arranged for his servants to send Gao Teng and others away, only the only ones left in the room were Ao Ping, the Shaofu Order of the Craftsaw and Shang Tu.
"Shang Zhonghou, how did you do the things I asked you to arrange last time?" At this time, Zhao Gaohe's tone just now changed a lot.
"Don't worry, the master has done it!" Shang Tu replied carefully.
"That's good. Chen Xu hurt my son Zhao Zhe, and arranged for someone to assassinate me in the street, causing me to lose my official position. I, Zhao Gao, will not be able to bear this series of hatreds. Now that I have just entered Xianyang, I have received such favor from Your Majesty. In the future, I will definitely become a major concern for us. I have heard from someone secretly that a few days ago he told Your Majesty that he intended to reorganize the court. I heard that Your Majesty was also quite intent. Once it was reorganized, there would be no more three ministers and nine ministers..."
"What?" Ao Ping and Shang Tu stood up at the same time.
"Master Zhao, you heard it right? If there are no three ministers and nine ministers, what position should we have?" Ao Ping asked anxiously.
"I don't know that this is just a few words that the palace servants heard intermittently. Now Chen Xu ran to the inner palace every few days, and was mixed with the eldest prince and Concubine Zheng in the past two days. If he let him deceive Your Majesty, the court and the harem will inevitably change if it continues. Both of you know that Your Majesty has never been appointed as the queen. It is not that he is unwilling to establish the queen, but that he is still considering the pros and cons in his heart. But the so-called "establishing the legitimate elder is not to be virtuous, and he is not to be virtuous, and he is not to be elder. If Your Majesty establishes Concubine Zheng as the queen, Prince Fusu will definitely rise and he will inherit the throne and ascend to the throne in the future. By then, with this contribution, Chen Xu will have no place to shake his position. We will no longer have a place in the Qin Dynasty!" Zhao Gao said while sitting on the warm couch with a gloomy face.
"The eldest prince Fusu is a kind and righteous person, and has always been famous for his reputation. It will be no harm for him to inherit the throne in the future, and it will be in line with the etiquette..."
Before Shang Tu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Gao. "Has the Shang Zhonghou not seen that the eldest prince was close to the people of the Confucian school. Most of the disciples in the mansion were Confucian disciples. These Confucian disciples were all hypocritical, full of benevolence, righteousness, morality, ethics, integrity, integrity, and humility, and are completely contrary to Mohism. As long as His Highness Fusu ascends the throne, the Mohism family will suffer heavy blows again. Ao Mansion Order, do you think what I said makes sense?"
Zhao Gao turned his head to look at Ao Ping who sat down silently.
"The Taipu said it is right. The Confucian and Mohism are enemies of the world. Although we conceal our identities, we dare not forget the governing philosophy and teachings of the ancestor Modi. Our Xiangli family will work hard to restore the honor of the Mohist school, so we must prevent His Highness Fusu from ascending the throne and becoming emperor!" Ao Ping said in a cold voice after a long silence.
"What should we do now?" Shang Tu said with a pale face.
"To stop all this, Chen Xu must stop his Majesty from constantly bewitching His Majesty. Now Chen Xu has established the Daqin Academy of Sciences. Judging from the current trends, he must have wanted to improve the iron smelting method and obtain a new type of iron tool to impress His Majesty. As far as I know, the craftsman named Gongshusheng is the key. As long as he moves his hands and feet on the iron smelting furnace, once the iron stone is refined, the furnace will suddenly collapse. Hehe, I see what he has to give to His Majesty. As long as we secretly destroy his plan, once, twice, and three times, His Majesty will inevitably begin to be cold to him. When the so-called immortal disciple's skin is stripped naked, I think he has any ability. A mountain village man who relies on his tricks and tricks all day long will only end up in a miserable end. Whether to be cut off or dismembered, we will decide in one word!" Zhao Gao gritted his teeth and punched the desk.
"By the way, I heard that Chen Xu went to Meng Yi's mansion a few days ago. The two had a good conversation in detail and Meng Yi left him for a banquet. It seems that the last incident had completely failed. You are a little more low-key recently and concentrate on dealing with Chen Xu. Meng Yi may have become suspicious of me!" Zhao Gao took a few sips of tea and waited until his mood calmed down.
"The last time's incident was indeed a bit hasty, and we underestimated Chen Xu. Although this boy is young, he is cunning. Not only did he not turn against Meng Yi, he let them get involved. Don't be held by Meng Yi in the future!" Ao Ping nodded seriously.
"Well, be careful in everything. Just move Chen Xu down. Once Your Majesty is in vain, we will only assist an obedient young master as the emperor and restore the honor of my Mo family. I will only say this today. Don't make any noise after you go back!" Zhao Gao waved his hand and said.
"Okay, Mr. Zhao said goodbye!" Ao Ping and Shang Tu stood up and said goodbye and left.
Zhao Gao sent the two out of the mansion. When he returned to the living room where he had just had a banquet, he suddenly found that there were two more people in the room.
A middle-aged man in his forties had a short jacket on his upper body, thick trousers on his lower body, straw sandals on his feet, a bun on his head, a wooden hairpin in his arms, a thin face, and a big sword hanging around his waist. He knelt on the warm couch expressionlessly.
A handsome young man in his twenties stood beside him.
Zhao Gao's eyes tightened, he stood at the door and hesitated slightly, stepped into the room and turned around to close the door, and whispered: "Why are you here?"
"We have come long ago!" The middle-aged man still had a expressionless face.
"You heard what we said just now?" Zhao Gao looked a little angry.
"Haha, why should Mr. Zhao do this? You and I help each other, but we just need it. If it weren't for me, how could you know that Ao Ping and Shang Tu were disciples of the Mo family? If it weren't for our secret help, how could you get the value of Your Majesty again? If it weren't for my disciple Mozi, you had been killed by Chen Xu's entourage last time, so you don't have to be careful of me, and I won't harm you. Xiangli does not respect Mo Rules and assists Qin with the skills passed down by the ancestors. He is no longer my disciple of the Mo family. As long as you control it properly, it will definitely be your great help in the future. As for whether to kill or cut after success, you can do whatever you want, but I only have one requirement, that is, to destroy the heirs arranged by the First Emperor as you want!" said the middle-aged man.
"Don't say that I will do this, but now there is a Chen Xu. You may have heard of the matter in the court. His Majesty, who came to Xianyang, personally welcomed him out of the city and almost made him the Grand Tutor and Prime Minister. Recently, he was recruited by the emperor into the inner palace every day. Once His Majesty appointed Concubine Zheng as the queen, it would be extremely difficult to do this matter again!" Zhao Gao sat on the warm kang and said with an ugly expression.
"We will not interfere in the affairs of the court and the palace. You should do it yourself. Today I want to tell you that my father has received the Juzi Order and has truly become the leader of the Mozhe in the world. He is secretly summoning disciples. As long as you plan successfully and with our support, it will be easy for you to be a marquis and minister in the future..."
Zhao Gao stood up suddenly, a hot light appeared in his eyes. After the dimming instantly, his face became extremely gloomy again. He turned his head and stared at the middle-aged man and said, "Why are you doing this?"
"The Qin King's extravagance in the Mohist family is known to everyone, which has made our Mohist family, as a famous scholar known as Confucianism, almost disappear now. The Qin law is harsh and the Qin government is tyrannical, and the people in the world are like pigs, dogs and livestock. The construction of the straight road and the imperial tombs and the Great Wall consumes millions of people's power. The people in the world are suffering. We have only one purpose, that is, to overthrow the tyranny of the harsh laws and tyranny, so that the people in the world can live a life of full food and food, and no longer endure this kind of forced and enslavement.
, The reason why we help you is that Zhao Taipu will repay you, and after taking power in the future, we will abandon evil laws and help our Mohist family restore their fame. When our Mohist family re-ranks as the top student in the school, with our help, Zhao Taipu... Well, it is the Prime Minister of Zhao that will definitely be in power. Even like Lu Buwei of the past, it is not difficult to control the emperor and be the emperor behind the scenes. At that time, you will be able to trample on Li Simengyi and Chen Xu and other civil and military officials under your feet."
The middle-aged man's voice was calm, but the last few sentences made Zhao Gao tremble all over like thunder. His face was sometimes excited and sometimes ferocious. He held his hands tightly and all the veins appeared.
Zhao Gao never had any idea of overthrowing harsh laws and tyranny, and letting the people live a life of full food and food, but the power of the government and the people were the second Lu Buwei, able to trample all the civil and military officials under his feet, and even...
Zhao Gao became more and more excited as he thought about it, and his eyes gradually turned red.
