Because Yingbu, Yu Wuya and Fusu are familiar with each other. After all, they have been together well for half a month on the way to Xianyang, so they didn't care too much about it. Huangfu Que is different. He knows that the young man who lost in front of him who is untied his jade belt is Fusu, the current eldest prince of the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, he has been extremely nervous and makes mistakes in playing cards. In the end, he is driven away by Yu Wuya, so Chen Xu has to take over.

The four of them were playing cards and chatting easily, winning and losing. Fusu seemed to have never had the ease and pleasure of playing cards with Chen Xu and others. He was so reluctant to return to the palace. He played until the end of You hour, and the sky was completely dark and could not see it before leaving.

"Three people stay, Fusu will come again tomorrow and will definitely win the jade pendant back!" Fusu still felt a little unsatisfied when he was holding a pair of mahjong.

"Haha, Your Highness remembers to bring money tomorrow!" Yu Wuya laughed happily with two jade pendants in his hand.

After watching Fusu's carriage and horse leave, Chen Xu's face became slightly serious.

Today's things may be unintentional, but they are intentional.

When Fusu came to invite him into the palace, Chen Xu also roughly learned about Concubine Zheng's illness from him. According to later generations, it was called postpartum depression. In addition to his status and status, and Qin Shihuang's attitude towards women, Concubine Zheng became more and more lonely and silent. He was in a bad mood and was mentally depressed, so he naturally couldn't eat or sleep. Fortunately, the palace was carefully cared for by the imperial physician and many palace maids and eunuchs, which enabled him to persevere for so many years. Otherwise, according to ordinary families, Concubine Zheng would either be crazy or died.

Therefore, on the way to the palace, Chen Xu kept thinking about how to deal with this matter carefully.

Concubine Zheng has a different identity. He is the mother of the eldest son of the emperor Fusu.

Qin Shihuang's harem was huge, with hundreds of concubines, thousands of palace maids, and more than twenty of them had children. However, in such a large harem, there was no queen. This was a very strange and strange thing in Chinese history. There were countless speculations about this incident in later generations. The most important one was that Qin Shihuang hated women because of his chaotic relationship between his mother, Zhao Ji, Lu Buwei and Lao Ai, so he was reluctant to establish a queen.

Of course, Chen Xu also generally agrees with this statement.

But since we have traveled to this era and want to change the Qin Dynasty, it is better for Qin Shihuang to set up a queen, which is more conducive to the stability of the Qin Dynasty.

The mother of the eldest son of the emperor Fusu is the best candidate for the queen in terms of identity and status.

The inheritance of kings or marquises and property was fixed by etiquette as early as the early Zhou Dynasty, that is, the ruler was established as the eldest son, not the virtuous, and the son was established as the noble was established as the eldest son, and this patriarchal system was continued until the founding of New China in later generations. However, because the customs and habits formed by this system had a great impact on the Chinese circle, many big families actually used this system of eldest son to maintain the development of the family.

Looking at Chinese history, the system of inheritance of the eldest son is an important means to maintain the normal replacement of the entire feudal dynasty, greatly ensuring that the emperor changes and changes will not lead to a great chaos in the country. In history, there were several emperors who were not the eldest sons who came to power, such as Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, and Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. Although these two people were extremely talented and wise figures, the country experienced a great improvement in national strength after taking office, but in fact they were all at the cost of brothers' destruction. Although they made outstanding achievements, they were repeatedly criticized by later generations.

To a large extent, the demise of the Second Qin Dynasty was also closely related to the disrespect of the patriarchal system.

Hu Hai is the youngest son of Qin Shihuang. According to normal inheritance relationship, it is not his turn to be the emperor anyway. So after Zhao Gao and Li Si support him to come to power, Hu Hai killed all his brothers and sisters in one go because of fear. He became a lonely man and had no direct blood relationship. He was completely controlled by Zhao Gao and played with him in his palm.

Hu Hai's approach also made the civil and military officials in the court free from their abilities and virtues.

In order to be authoritarian, Zhao Gao deceived Hu Hai to kill Li Si, Feng Quji, Meng Yi, and Meng Tian. After killing all the national pillars that supported the Qin Empire, the Qin Empire collapsed instantly and completely buried the originally powerful Qin Empire.

You should know that when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu and others revolted, the Qin army was still extremely strong. Four hundred thousand people stationed in the south to suppress Baiyue, and 300,000 people stationed in the northwest to resist the Huns. These two armies were truly brave and good at fighting. There was no problem with the peasant army such as Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.

But the result was that after the uprising broke out, the soldiers in the south, under the leadership of general Zhao Tuo, drew the land as king and claimed that the South Vietnam Kingdom was independent.

After Wang Li took over the 300,000 army in the northwest, he led 200,000 of them to join the 400,000 prisoners led by Zhang Han. However, in the Battle of Julu, people were in chaos and were defeated in nine battles. Wang Li was captured and was killed by Xiang Yu.

The 300,000 Qin troops stationed at the Great Wall in the northwest were the most elite troops of the Qin Dynasty, but why was it quickly defeated by the peasant army led by Xiang Yu? The reason for this is very simple, because these 300,000 troops have always been controlled by Meng Tian. Meng Tian was killed, and Fusu, the eldest prince who should have been the emperor, was forced to commit suicide. The army that has always respected Meng Tian and Fusu was naturally dissatisfied. Whether it was soldiers or officers, they did not want to work hard for Hu Hai, they fled and fled.

The surrender instantly became a mess. Instead, the 400,000 prisoners who built the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum near Xianyang became the main force of the resistance rebel army, and it became the only army in Hu Hai's hands that could fight. However, this army was soon defeated by Xiang Yu. General Zhang Han also surrendered directly because he was afraid of being killed by Zhao Gao after returning to Xianyang. The 200,000 prisoners who surrendered were killed by Xiang Yu, and the Qin Dynasty had no ability to resist.

As the saying goes, there is no order without rules.

Li Sigui was the left prime minister and devoted his life to the Legalists' rule of the country and fulfilled his ambitions, but he did not respect etiquette and law and personally destroyed the Qin Empire he supported, and also ruined his life.

One of the very important reasons for this is that Qin Shihuang had never made an empress. The so-called "unright" name means unsatisfactory. Even if Fusu was the eldest son, his mother, Concubine Zheng, was only a wife, which was no different from Hu Hai's mother's identity, so there was no halo of the eldest son to protect her body, which led to Zhao Gao being able to operate well to support Hu Hai on the stage.

Therefore, if Qin Shihuang could make Concubine Zheng the empress in advance and then reorganize the court system, many things would be solved smoothly. Even if Qin Shihuang suddenly passed away, even if someone forged an edict, Chen Xu could still contact many ministers to support Fusu to power, because Fusu already had a legitimate legal inheritance status.

If Concubine Zheng is appointed as the queen, her illness will improve and she will be favored by Qin Shihuang.

But this is not easy. After all, Concubine Zheng is almost forty years old. She cannot compete for favor with young and beautiful concubines in the harem, but she can only impress Qin Shihuang with her maturity.

After all, Qin Shihuang was forty years old and no longer had the energy. What he needed was tenderness and understanding, rather than endless troubles on the bed.

Therefore, Chen Xu said in the palace today and used flattery to make Qin Shihuang happy. As long as he could slightly change Qin Shihuang's ideas and be able to pamper Zheng again, it would be impossible for him to establish the queen.

Because Chen Xu could see that Qin Shihuang liked his eldest son Fusu quite a bit.

Today's practice seems to have effect. At least Qin Shihuang is willing to stay in Zheng Fei's bedroom. With some wine, it is almost inevitable that the two of them will have warmth at night. As the saying goes, heart disease requires heart medicine. As long as Qin Shihuang is often favored, Zheng Fei's depression can be recovered faster.

What's more, the effect of stinky tofu that Chen Xu mentioned in the palace is not nonsense. Chen Ke, the depression syndrome of Zheng Fei, has accumulated over ten years of accumulation. As the saying goes, serious illness requires severe medicine. Anorexia caused by eating too many delicate and delicious foods may really improve if you stimulate this strange smell and smelly food. Stinky tofu contains a large amount of plant-based lactic acid bacteria. After consumption, it can strengthen the stomach, digest food, regulate the intestines, and indeed improve appetite.

Damn, I'm taking care of more and more now, and I have to worry about Qin Shihuang's wife!

Chen Xu was still sighing when he returned to the room.

But no matter what, this is an unprecedented change for Qin Shihuang or Concubine Zheng.

The next day, the wind and snow fell slightly, and by noon, the snow that had fallen for three days finally stopped.

The snow on the ground was more than two feet, and even more than three feet outside the city.

The entire Weihe Plain is covered with silver, and the Qinling Mountains are winding, like a silver dragon lying across the sky and the earth, looking extremely majestic.

In the yard of the Qinghe Hou Mansion, a group of servants were shoveling snow, which was piled up in a large pile, and they also used wooden shovels to prepare several huge snowman statues.

Chen Xu made two convex lenses with ice, and was holding them in his hand to observe the layers of palaces and city walls in the distance, watching the black dragon flag flying in the wind on the city wall flirting and fluttering.

Yu Wuya, Yingbu, Wang San and others also took two ice lenses and looked around, and they were all full of interest.

"Marty, Marquis, Your Highness Fusu is here again!" Huangfu Que, the manager, hurried over.

Chen Xu had no choice but to hand the two lenses to the maid beside him, then tidy up his clothes and hair to go out to greet him.

"Your Highness came so early today, maybe it was to make a comeback!" Chen Xu bowed to Fusu who had got off the car with a smile.

"No, the Queen of Qinghe, please follow Fusu to the palace. I presented mahjong to my mother today. I didn't expect that my father was also very interested, but I was not very familiar with many of the techniques. Therefore, I specially came to ask Queen of Qinghe to enter the palace to explain it on my father's order!"
