The magazine of the Hundred Schools Forum was created by Chen Xu, so Qin Shihuang also vaguely believed that this policy was for Chen Xu to have some purpose and was still fighting with Li Si. However, before he could figure out Chen Xu's intentions, he felt it was not easy to directly scold Chen Xu. After all, Chen Xu, as his most respected right-hand man now, completely surpassed his identity as a minister. Various reforms have caused many earth-shaking changes in the Qin Dynasty. At the same time, all kinds of incredible ideas have broadened his horizons, especially the description of the world, which directly shattered his understanding of the world.

Whether the earth is flat or round, this is not a problem. The problem is that if what Chen Xu said is true, it will inevitably confirm the identity of the disciple of Chen Xu's immortal family.

Now, as Chen Xu promotes reforms increasingly, from court to business, it has begun to expand to military affairs. This not only makes the civil and military officials uneasy in the court, but Qin Shihuang is actually even more uneasy.

This uneasiness comes from the depths of the soul.

Because of the world described by Chen Xu, everything invented and created is completely different from the traditional cognitive world.

He didn't know how the Qin Dynasty would change, how the court would change, and even whether his own status would be threatened if he continued to continue according to Chen Xu's reform.

But judging from what Chen Xu did, it seems that everything is really a worry about the country and the people. Chen Xu is lazy and does not go to the court to discuss politics at all. In addition to having had fierce conflicts with Li Si on the matter of burning books, his relationship with the civil and military officials in the court is harmonious. Everyone is polite and smiling when they see everyone, and never compete for power and profit.

Chen Xu's way of acting made the emperor feel more and more at a loss.

Therefore, the emperor was angry and a little nervous when he invited Chen Xu to the palace for discussion when he suddenly published this article in the magazine.

But the answer given by Chen Xu made him even more confused.

"If you listen to both sides, you will be clear; if you believe in both sides, you will be secret... My dear words are indeed reasonable. I, the wise men, discuss national policies. This is true. My great Qin and other princes are like this. But this blatant attack on national policies will only bring more chaos. How can we get the benefits?"

"Your Majesty, these people are hiding among the people. Your Majesty does not mean that they do not speak nonsense. Some words are not afraid of people saying it openly, they are afraid of people saying it behind their backs, some things are not afraid of people doing, they are afraid of people secretly bewitching it. The most elusive thing in the world is the human heart. Even if the two of them are together day and night, they do not know what they think in their hearts. This is the most terrible thing. The purpose of my mission to run this magazine is to let these people surface and expose what they want to say in public. If others know, your Majesty will naturally know. Since you know, you will definitely come up with countermeasures to deal with it..."

"For example, although this theory of the ten evils of magic is suspected of being nonsense, it is not full of slander. It is said that household registration is harsh and labor service is too heavy. These arguments express the common ideas of many people. Sun Pi must be just an ordinary scholar, who was used or even elected to throw stones and ask for directions. Even if Your Majesty wants to investigate and deal with it, he will definitely be useless and end up being an unfair name. Li Qingchu gave a letter of advice to expel the guest, and Your Majesty accepted it happily and finally got help from the guests of the six countries. Now that the world is unified, Your Majesty wants to perform the emperor's way, and even wants to compete with the King of Tang to surpass the name of Tiankang. How can it block the world's mouths?"

"The sun shines on the heaven and earth, but it is not light everywhere. The lights are still dark. There is no fixed way to govern the country. It is just to follow the heavens and the road is without traces. All living beings are confused and struggling in it. All people are like this. This is the same for you. If you are poor, change, and if you change, you will be able to understand it. This is the principle of unchanging through the ages. Times change and worlds change. Only when the rules are abolished and established are in line with the great way. Those who stick to the rules will be bound to be restrained. Your Majesty is an emperor of the ages. If you have a mind to the heaven, earth and the universe, how can you change your mind because of this policy? Your Majesty should look at this matter calmly. If you guess well, when the next issue of the magazine comes out, it will definitely give Your Majesty a new understanding. Because those who use magic will definitely refute this theory. The wonderful things are still in the future. Your Majesty should not be anxious!"

"Is it true that someone will make a new policy and it is difficult to refute Sun Pi's words?" Qin Shihuang was stunned for a long time.

"Yes, magic is the strategy of establishing a strong country in the Qin Dynasty. How can it be easily abolished? Sun Pi is just a way to explore the stone. This strategy will definitely cause a sensation among the famous scholars of the hundreds of schools. Some people support it and some people will object. This is the effect of the forum. This magazine is their battlefield. The abolition of laws and protectors will last for a long time. Many strategy articles will emerge one after another. As long as your Majesty sits in the palace, a cup of tea and a furnace of sandalwood, you can learn what the leaders of the hundreds of schools think and then choose their good strategies. Just like a fisherman casts a net, you can benefit a lot, which is much more convenient and stable than blindly recruiting talents. At least through the strategy theory in the magazine, those who are just a fool can be eliminated, and all the gains are good talents in governing the country..."

Chen Xu wrote a long speech, and Qin Shihuang's face changed unpredictable. After pondering for a long time, he slowly showed a hint of relaxed expression on his face. Then he nodded slowly and said, "Yes, my dear principles make me suddenly enlightened. The most difficult and unpredictable person in the world is also the hearts of people. With this hundred forum magazine, these disciples of the hundred schools and inaudible strategies and arguments that are invisible on weekdays will be revealed one by one. Good or bad are not important. What is important is that I know their most sincere thoughts."

"That's right!" Chen Xu stood up and bowed, "Governing a big country is like cooking small fresh food. Oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, green onion, ginger, garlic and mustard can be seasoned. Your Majesty only needs to use it with a decent amount, and you will definitely get a delicious food!"

"Haha, I am worthy of being a good person in the Qin Dynasty. My words must be well-reasoned and my heart. Last time I ate a delicious black pepper steak in the Aiqing Villa, which made me miss it. The imperial chef in the palace has also made several times, but he always feels that it is not as delicious as the ones cooked by Aiqing. Recently, I have developed more delicious foods?" Qin Shihuang held Chen Xu's hand and laughed happily.

"The way to eat is to have color, fragrance, taste, meaning, form, but if you want to taste the real delicacy, you must be in harmony with the heart and mind. When you are in a bad mood, it will be tasteless no matter what delicacy you eat. When the environment is bad, it will be like chewing wax. It is not that the food tastes bad, but the timing is wrong. I have not developed other delicacies recently, but it is the strong spring season. I heard that the five-colored fish in the stream in the Nanshan Mountain are fat. I am preparing to invite three or five friends to enjoy the spring and catch fish at the foot of Nanshan Mountain tomorrow, and have a picnic to relax..."

"There are indeed five-colored fish in the South Mountain, but I have never tasted them before. I don't know what it tastes?" Qin Shihuang looked outside the hall with a little yearning.

"This matter is easy. I will catch the five-colored fish tomorrow and send it to the imperial chef for the production. It is wrapped with pepper mustard noodles sauce and cooked with wild onions. It must be a rare delicacy in spring!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

Qin Shihuang's Adam's apple shook and hesitated for a moment, nodded: "Then I'll have to worry about you. I'll wait for you to return from harvest in the palace tomorrow!"

"Don't worry, your Majesty has many streams in the south mountain, and it's only a few dozen miles away. Your Majesty will definitely be able to taste it tomorrow. It's getting late, so I'll say goodbye first!"

Chen Xu bowed and left. Qin Shihuang took Chen Xu's hand and personally sent him outside the Zichen Hall. He watched Chen Xu leave under the escort of Xuanwu Guard and the eunuch, and then returned to the hall to sit down and began to read the Hundred Schools Forum again. At this time, he read through the ten evils of magic again, and found that the heart was completely gone, and there was no initial anxiety and anger.

Chen Xu returned to the villa outside the city and arranged for people to prepare fish nets and fish pots and pans for picnics. Then he sent someone to invite his brother-in-law Meng Yun, asking him to bring all his friends and wife and children tomorrow, and go to Nanshan to catch fish and picnics together tomorrow.

The picnic was not Chen Xu's idea, but Ying Shiman proposed it during her meal a few days ago, mainly because of the sequelae after the last time at the Women's College.

Ying Shiman's proposal was naturally strongly agreed by Meng Wan and Xing'er and Yu Ji, and she had been clamoring for several days.

These days, the spring scenery is getting thicker, the mountains, rivers and fields are full of flowers and plants, and the mountains in Zhongnan are also covered with green mountains, which is just right for picnics and play.

After staying in Xianyang for more than a year, all arrangements have begun to get on track. Chen Xu finally had the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief and live the peaceful and comfortable life that the marquis should live.

After breakfast the next morning, dozens of guards and servants began to load all the fishing nets and picnic tools onto the carriage.

Ying Shiman, Meng Wan, Xing'er, Yu Ji, Han Xin and a group of maids who served with them also began to prepare for their luggage and set off.

At the end of the Chen period, Meng Yun and a group of fox friends who were laying bamboo kites on the river beach last time rode a horse with long swords and bows and arrows. They accompanied them with two or three guards, and several carriages with their wives and children. The fourth princess Ying Liman was also among them, and Ying Liman also brought her daughter Meng Ping'er.

When a group of people meet, it is naturally a lively greeting.

The women were all wearing colorful spring skirts, and they were all modified long skirts and robe skirts. They all had elegant and beautiful skirts. They gathered together with Ying Shiman and Meng Wan and others to discuss the fun and picnic matters excitedly.

A group of children are big and small. The older ones are Xing'er, who are already eleven years old, and the younger ones are Meng Ping'er, who is only three or four years old. They are the age of joy, so they are all playing shuttlecocks and hopscots in the yard. There are two chubby giant pandas next to them, and they are rolling back and forth on the ground, making the yard scream and laugh.

A group of men such as Chen Xu and Meng Yun gathered together to chat and laugh, studying their respective horses, swords and weapons and other topics that men were interested in.
