Chen Xu tossed and turned all night, and when he woke up in a daze, it was already dark.
He got up with dark circles under his eyes, washed up, and just finished a simple breakfast. A group of soldiers surrounded a four-horse luxury carriage and stopped outside the Prime Minister's Mansion. Jiang Heng, the official of the CRRC Mansion, walked out of the car holding a silk book in his hand. Up and down.
"Master Jiang, please forgive me, Xu is late to greet you!" After hearing the announcement from the soldiers guarding the gate, Chen Xu quickly wiped his mouth and came out to greet him.
"Mr. Chen, don't be too polite!" When Jiang Heng saw Chen Xu saluting, he naturally didn't dare to show off. He quickly returned the gift and handed the silk book in his hand to Chen Xu and said, "Your Majesty has invited Mr. Chen to come to the meeting hall to accept the award!"
Chen Xu took the silk book and unfolded it to read it. Although the small seal script was crooked, he could still recognize most of it. It was indeed the emperor's edict, and it was also covered with the bird seal script and jade seal, which was ordered by God to live long and prosperous.
This is the edict of Qin Shihuang. Later generations have never discovered it. It is worth collecting.
So after reading it, Chen Xu put it away in his arms and ordered Yu Wuya and Yingbu to prepare their carriages and horses.
It was already Chen hour and the morning dynasty had begun.
Standing majestically in the Chaoyi Hall in the center of Xianyang Palace, the First Emperor Qin Shihuang sits on a nine-step dragon chair, with dozens of court officials sitting on both sides below.
The emperor¡¯s complexion seems not to be very good today, and the circles under his eyes are a little dark.
Although the aura is still calm and majestic, it always feels like yawning at any time.
Sure enough, in full view of everyone, Qin Shihuang suddenly covered his face with his sleeves and yawned loudly.
The ministers all looked at each other in silence.
"Your Majesty, please go to bed early every night to avoid harming your body!" Left Prime Minister Li Si stood up and reminded his big boss to take care of his health with concern.
"Xiang Li reminds me that I promise to go to bed early today!" Qin Shihuang nodded and couldn't help but yawned again.
"Your Majesty, at yesterday's palace dinner, we talked about today's meeting on the implementation of new farming methods. I would like to ask for your Majesty's clarification!" Zhi Su Nei Shi Gao Teng stood up with a wat board in his hand and said.
"Don't be anxious, Gao Neishi. I have arranged for Jiang Mansion to invite Mr. Chen. I will listen to his advice in detail today!" Qin Shihuang calmly waved his hand to signal Gao Teng to sit down first.
"Wow~" The officials below suddenly became slightly commotion. Many of them, including many officials who were not qualified to attend the palace dinner yesterday, couldn't help but be confused and began to exchange questions.
During the Qin Dynasty, the court affairs inherited the Zhou system, and basically remained in the style of the princes' affairs. In other words, there were not many rules, and officials could speak freely. Therefore, quarrels between officials with different ideas in the court were common. Although Qin Shihuang, the emperor, was relatively arbitrary, he was always an emperor who could listen to advice, so he did not prevent the ministers from discussing and making noises.
Amid the low-pitched exchanges, a call came from outside: "Mr. Chen is here~~"
This announcement made the court even more noisy.
The term "Sir" has been around for a long time. The literal meaning can be understood as the person who was born first. In the early Zhou Dynasty, "Sir" was used to refer to people older than himself, so both father and brother could be called "Sir". By the Spring and Autumn Period, the title "Sir" had been extended to older people. A learned person. During the Warring States Period, Zhou etiquette further collapsed. The title sir has become very common. All older men who are educated can be respectfully called sir, but most of them are still used to address teachers.
However, the title sir is a title for private interactions and is not used in formal occasions such as the court. Qin Shihuang could call Mr. Chen Xu in private, but now the visitor actually calls him sir in the court. It can be seen that Chen Xu's status was immediately raised to the level of a national teacher.
And this title must have been authorized by the First Emperor, otherwise he would not dare to give the visitor a hundred courages.
Amid the noisy waiting of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, Jiang Heng, the order of CRRC Mansion, led a young man into the main hall.
"Your Majesty, I have invited Mr. Chen!" Jiang Heng saluted Qin Shihuang.
When Chen Xu entered the main hall, Qin Shihuang had already stood up. Under the shocked gazes of the civil and military officials of the court, he personally walked down the nine steps to greet him. This was the same as the greeting he left the city yesterday. It had never happened since the first emperor ascended the throne and was called King of Qin. Yes, even Lu Buwei had never received such treatment.
"Chen Xu has met His Majesty the First Emperor!" Chen Xu quickly raised his hands in salute.
"Sir, please don't be too polite. Quickly arrange a seat for you, and put it next to me!" Qin Shihuang directly took Chen Xu's hand and walked up the steps.
"Wow~~" All civil and military officials in the court suddenly burst into an uproar.?Under.
The most frightening thing is that he will be awarded a gold seal with a purple ribbon, which means that Chen Xu will have real power, not just a false title. Da Qin now only has Li Si, the left prime minister, Feng Quji, the right prime minister, and the imperial censor. Meng Yi, the three ministers, can be matched with gold seals and purple ribbons. In this way, Da Qin will have an extra powerful minister for no reason. In this way, the structure of the court will be completely chaotic.
As for the Marquis, it can be ignored for the time being, because the Marquis is just a false title in Da Qin, with no power or position. However, it is too much to be granted the title of Marquis of Guannei without any merit.
The court hall suddenly turned into a mess. Chen Xu felt as if someone had suddenly shouted in his ear, and his head was filled with roaring. Then he suddenly woke up with a jolt, and quickly jumped up from the chair and bowed. He said loudly: "Chen Xu thanks your majesty for your kindness, but Xu is a mountain man and is used to being free and undisciplined, so I ask your majesty to take back the reward!"
"Your Majesty, please temporarily withdraw the reward!" Meng Yi, who had been silent, turned to look at Chen Xu and suddenly stood up.
"Your Majesty, please take back your orders!" Zhao Gao immediately stood up.
"Your Majesty, please take back your order!" Dozens of ministers bowed together and saluted. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
