Chapter 546
After Qin Shihuang finished speaking, he waited quietly for half a minute and found that all the civil and military officials in the court were bowing their heads and silent. Therefore, he withdrew his eyes and said, "But the Marquis of Qinghe refused the title of Grand Master. I have asked the Emperor's grandson Ziying to take Qinghe Marquis as his teacher and learn the skills of governing the country with Qinghe Marquis. Therefore, I will today grant Qinghe Marquis the Marquis of Qinghe as his junior teacher and add a thousand households to the fief..."
"Shaoshi? Ziying's teacher?"
Capturing the content of the emperor's words, the quiet court suddenly became an uproar, and an excited light appeared in the eyes of countless people.
Li Si, Feng Quji, and Meng Yi looked at each other and exchanged their eyes, and then began to touch the little abacus hidden in their hearts.
The officials of the three provinces and six ministries and the civil and military officials of the court all began to whisper to each other, obviously feeling a little uneasy when the sudden news came.
The young master is the prince's army. If he has the position of the young master, the emperor must have already planned to establish a successor. This is indeed exciting and uneasy good news for the civil and military officials of the court in the future, as the assistant minister, he will take the position of the Three Dukes to command the court in the last step. It will be almost a natural thing for the superior ministers to be above ten thousand people.
But what surprised everyone was that Chen Xu, the young master, was the teacher of the emperor's grandson Ziying. Is the emperor planning to pass the throne to Ziying in the future instead of a certain young master? This is completely inconsistent with the ancient rituals.
But this is just the idea of ordinary officials, and many people still guess that this is just the emperor's expedient approach, because Ziying's father is Prince Fusu. Once the emperor is in vain and Ziying is underage, he will definitely let Fusu on the stage, but His Majesty has not made up his mind yet.
But at least from the emperor's words, the emperor already had some plans to establish a prince, and the first person to choose was Gongzi Fusu.
Amid the whispers and speculations of the civil and military officials in the court, Chen Xu stood up and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will teach Your Highness Ziying carefully and will definitely not dare to hide your own private interests or slack off!"
"Well, Ziying is still young, and Qinghe Hou is busy with affairs. Just arrange a class for Ziying every ten days. Don't delay national affairs!" Qin Shihuang nodded, then his eyes fell on Li Si and said, "My youngest son Hu Hai is now in his school year. His former teacher was Zhao Gao, but Zhao Gao was imprisoned in a death row for committing a death sentence. Therefore, I want Li Xiang to teach Hu Hai. I wonder what Li Xiang wants to do?"
As soon as Qin Shihuang said this, the civil and military officials in the court were even more surprised, and their faces changed and their suspiciously.
Although Li Si is not the young master, he is the leader of the Supreme Master. In the past, he was the third minister. He asked him to teach Hu Hai. The signal sent is also very obvious. According to the emperor's degree of gratitude to Li Si, the status of this teacher seems to be more obvious than Chen Xu's intention of the young master. If the rule of establishing a eldest son but not a young master, once the emperor is in the future, even with the assistance of the young master Chen Xu, the next emperor may fall on Hu Hai more.
But the emperor had more than ten sons, so why did he attach so much importance to the youngest son? Moreover, it was obviously inconsistent with the ancient rituals.
"I have no objection, and I will definitely teach Mr. Hu Hai's skills to govern the country!" Li Si was stunned for a moment and stood up and bowed.
Feng Quji and Meng Yi frowned almost at the same time.
Chen Xu also frowned while sitting down, but his face soon returned to the same as usual, but his heart was like a tide and it was difficult to calm down.
Zhao Gao has no chance of turning around now.
According to Chen Xu's idea, as long as Zhao Gao is crushed to death, the behind-the-scenes push to 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 innocent people after he came to power, resulting in the collapse of the Qin Dynasty.
But I never thought that as soon as I stepped ashore, my other foot fell into the quagmire again.
The emperor would actually hand over the task of teaching Hu Hai to Li Si.
This is something he never expected.
Even something that was never expected.
Pressing the gourd to float up, actually racking my brains to pull Meng Yi and Zhao Gao to fight wits and courage, he finally succeeded, but history is still using its best efforts to twist the trajectory known to future generations.
Once Li Si becomes Hu Hai's teacher, he will definitely use his best efforts to push Hu Hai to power unless the emperor makes a crown prince in advance.
But according to the current situation, the emperor has no plans to establish a prince yet.
Since ancient times, the emperor's thoughts are the hardest to guess.
Perhaps the emperor was not very satisfied with Prince Fusu.
Or maybe it is just a simple technique of checks and balances, allowing oneself and Li Si to be hostile to each other and form a new balance of court.
For Qin Shihuang, Li Si was definitely an important minister who could rely entirely on, and also the first candidate who could give his country and the country to assist him. This can be seen from Li Si's position in the court. Almost every time the emperor made a decision, he would ask Li Si if he had any questions.
His own existence is an anomaly, with the halo of immortal disciples, so it is different from all other ministers. Other emperors can control it, but Chen Xu himself, the emperor must feel that he cannot control it. His own existence is actually apart from the control of the court and the emperor, and is full of variables.
As a talented and stubborn emperor, although he did not have more than two thousand years of historical accumulation and vision, his mind was definitely the most powerful person in the world. He allowed himself to struggle under his nose, but he definitely had his own plans and plans for the future of the Qin Dynasty.
Even if he is really a disciple of the immortal family, the emperor will never allow himself to get involved in his country.
After half a year of getting along, although Chen Xu knew that the emperor valued and relied on him very much, the emperor might also be worried that he would threaten the safety of the throne in the future and was afraid that the emperor who assisted him in the future would be manipulated. Just like Zhao Gao's secret plan, he used Li Si to assist a young man to come to power. At that time, he and Li Si would be in a state of competing with each other in the court. Li Si would definitely not be able to cover up the sky, so he could ensure that his future generations control the Qin Dynasty...
But why is it Hu Hai?
In addition to Fusu, the emperor had more than 20 sons. According to the order of the elders and young people, it was not Hu Hai's turn to become emperor in any case.
Is Hu Hai's identity unique?
Chen Xu thought a lot in an instant, but no matter which one was, he felt that it was not reliable, so he could only quickly throw all the messy thoughts in his mind behind him.
Because no matter what the situation is, Chen Xu would never allow Hu Hai to come to power. Even if Qin Shihuang died on the road a few years later, and did not make a crown prince, he had to kill Li Si and Hu Hai if he had no choice.
After the dynasty was dispersed, all the civil and military officials left the court with a tangled expression on their faces.
Many ministers discussed the two things that happened in groups in the square outside the court. Some people secretly looked at Chen Xu and Li Si.
If Li Si had not been Hu Hai's teacher, most officials would have run up to greet Chen Xu with a smile on their faces, because the title of the young master was too clear. The future successor of the Qin Dynasty was either Fusu or Ziying, but the emperor's other decision made this matter confusing.
Without communicating with anyone, Chen Xu walked down the steps and got on his carriage and prepared to leave.
"Mr. Marquis~" A man behind him ran over panting. Chen Xu turned around and saw that it was Li Shun, so he smiled and said, "Let's go, take my car and leave together. I'm going to go to the newspaper office!"
"Thank you, Marquis!" Li Shun climbed onto Chen Xu's four-bridle luxury carriage in a happy mood.
"Look, I'm right. I'll make great contributions when I go to the northwest this time. I'll get all the real estate, land, titles and rewards. After I go back, I have a few days to rest and go to the newspaper office to work. You are now a celebrity in the Qin Dynasty!" Chen Xu said with a smile as he walked.
"It depends entirely on the cultivation and respect of the Marquis. If it weren't for the Marquis' earnest teachings, how could Shun have today's glory? In the future, if the Marquis is sent, Shun will definitely follow the horse's leader!" Li Shun bowed respectfully.
"No need to do this. Just like what you said at the beginning, just be a real man who cannot be lustful, poor and humble. Don't change your original intentions in glory and wealth. I hope that you will have the greatest expectation for you. Now that you have just come back, don't mess around in a while. Go home and see if your wife is still there and have you run away with a wild man..."
Li Shun almost fell from the carriage as soon as he got there.
I wiped my forehead sweat all the way and didn't dare to chat with this little marquis who was not adjusted anymore. After the carriage arrived at the newspaper office, I couldn't wait to jump out of the car and run home before I could completely stop.
Although the little marquis is not inconsistent, he should not talk nonsense. Moreover, he has been there for more than two months and his wife is only eighteen years old. This may be... Hiss, it's so big!
Seeing Li Shun run away with fire, Chen Xu walked into the newspaper office with a small square step and hummed a small song.
After teasing Comrade Li Shun for a while, Chen Xu felt that his depressed mood in the court had suddenly improved a lot.
"Mr. Marquis!"
"Mr. Marquis!"
When the people in the newspaper saw Chen Xu, they stopped to salute respectfully. Chen Ping, Fu Anqiucheng and others also came out of the office to greet him. Chen Xu did not stay in the newspaper for long, but simply mentioned the rewards in the court, and then reminded Chen Ping to temporarily arrange for Li Shun to familiarize himself with the business of the newspaper.
"The soldiers have been busy these days. Let's sort out the manuscripts for the past two days and try to publish another special issue mixed in this issue of newspapers to publish them together, especially the Martyrs' Temple's Shrine!
"Don't worry, Mr. Marquis, we have received hundreds of submissions in the past two days, and are being selected and sorted out, especially the fireworks of last night. The people in Xianyang were stimulated to restlessness. There were more than 20 people writing fireworks alone, including poems and essays, and several of them were amazing!" Chen Ping said excitedly.
"You can do it. Just choose to publish two articles on fireworks. It is mainly focused on rewards and rewards for soldiers. This issue of newspapers should be printed in a step-by-step manner."
Chen Ping suddenly said with a bitter face: "Mr. Marquis, we want to be quick, but the previous special issue has not been printed yet. Recently, several newspapers have only produced proofreading models, and I have been tired for several issues!"
"Yes, when will the new printing house be ready? Otherwise, the publication of newspapers will not be enough. Besides, you hired Yuliang to open the journals of the Hundred Forums, and in the future, the bookstore and the history museum will require a lot of printing..." Qiu Cheng, Fu An and others were also helping each other.
"Don't worry, I asked a few days ago that the new copper movable type font model has been completed, and it has been casting. It can be provided in a large amount of 10 days. At that time, you can complete as many printing stations as you want. By the way, you can arrange someone to go to the bookstore to see how the new printing factory is built. At the same time, you can quickly arrange people to make font model libraries and typesetting platforms, printing platforms, and speed up the training of printing workers. Otherwise, you may not be able to keep up with the speed of publishing books. Also, hire some craftsmen who are proficient in painting and carving, and many books will be used to mix pictures and texts..."
