More than a year has passed, Ziying has followed Chen Xu to attend more than ten classes intermittently. As Ziying grows older, she has become more sensible. She is eight years old this year. Although she is a little shy, she is well-behaved and polite. She is a very good emperor.

At least that's true in Chen Xu's opinion.

As a royal family, as the heir of Daqin who will support Chen Xu to embark on the throne of the emperor in the future, he first asked not to be a tyrant. After more than a year of observation, Ziying has a very gentle personality and studies very seriously. He can complete Professor Chen Xu's courses well every time. The most important thing is that he has his own ideas about the strange questions that Chen Xu raised every time. Although these ideas make Fusu very angry every time, they are deeply loved by Chen Xu.

The future development of the Qin Dynasty will change with each passing day. Chen Xu will slowly guide the country's governance strategies and theories of many future generations. Those things are very subversive and cannot be said at the moment. Otherwise, they may be imprisoned by Qin Shihuang and raised them. However, in a subtle way, Ziying may not reject Chen Xu's theories. However, these things are too early to be said. Only a few years later will Chen Xu make the final decision.

If the emperor really cannot overcome the hurdle, then all arrangements will be shown like a storm. Li Si, Hu Hai and others cannot turn the tables unless he dies!

As for whether Fusu can come to power, Chen Xu still has many hesitations. Just like Qin Shihuang's worries, Fusu has been influenced by Confucianism since childhood. Although he is constantly learning Xunzi's theory of governing the country, the deeply rooted thinking habits that have been formed are difficult to change. The most important thing is that Chen Xu cannot control the subsequent development of the Qin Dynasty when Fusu comes to power. If all the strategies of magic governing the country are overturned and Confucianism is vigorously promoted, I am afraid that China will once again embark on the path of future generations, which Chen Xu will definitely not want to see.

It is not bad for Confucianism to govern the country, but Confucianism will constantly destroy the pioneering and innovative ideas. As long as the Confucian school occupy the court and follows various ancient rituals of the Zhou Dynasty, various rules and regulations will still appear slowly. This is like a fruit tree. The seeds have determined what the tree will grow roughly in the future. Therefore, the best way to govern the country is to constantly graft theories of hundreds of schools of thought on the basis of magic and governing the country, so that the tree can grow into a fruitful shape, rather than letting it grow into a towering tree but the fruits it bears bitter and astringent.

Almost an hour later, Chen Xu finished class for Ziying, and then he came to the living room again to have tea and chat with Fusu.

"Your Highness Fusu, because after the Shangsi Festival, Xu will accompany His Majesty to tour the southeast, and may not be able to teach Ziying for several months, so the courses taught today are a little complicated. Please go back and urge Ziying to complete her studies well!"

"I have a hard time, I will urge you after I go back!" Fusu quickly bowed and bowed.

"Actually, there is no need to be too demanding. Ziying is still young after all, and she is the age of playing. I gave him a set of the latest "Poetry" scriptures, so that he could take the time to recite them even if he had a poetic spirit, and the future of the Qin Dynasty was expected to be prosperous. As the eldest grandson of the emperor, Ziying would definitely have great achievements in the future. Therefore, he must not only understand the strategies for governing the country, but also have humanistic thoughts. My Chinese sages left brilliant books, and they can all recite them according to the best. Only when academic freedom and free thought can China truly be based on the world and pass on all generations!"

"Every word of the young master is pearls, Fusu is taught!" Fusu bowed again.

He is now increasingly impressed and even admired Chen Xu. Whether it is Chen Xu's wild ideas or the actions of very unusual people, Fusu feels that Chen Xu's unfathomableness is unfathomable.

As a eldest prince who has always been mediocre, he now puts almost everything on Chen Xu. He doesn't have much hope to be an emperor. However, with Chen Xu's support, Ziying's chances of ascending the throne in the future are very high. At least for the civil and military officials of the court who can influence the emperor's decision-making, Chen Xu is the first. Now even if Li Si has a little bit of momentum, the court is no longer the only situation where Li Si alone takes charge of the government's affairs and controls the emperor's decision-making.

Although there is still great hope for becoming Emperor Fusu.

But as long as the emperor does not establish a crown prince for one day, he will not be able to calm down for a day. Moreover, the position of crown prince is not the only one, because a few days ago, he vaguely heard a bad news in the palace.

Looking at Fusu's thoughtful look, Chen Xu put down the teacup curiously and said with a smile: "Your Highness seems to have something to do. Can you tell me that Xu can help me explain it?"

Fusu nodded slightly after being silent for a moment: "A few days ago, the left prime minister once entered the palace to meet the emperor. Afterwards, I heard a piece of news from the palace people, and it seemed that the emperor intended to make a crown prince!"

"What?" Chen Xu suddenly stood up, then quickly returned to his expression and sat down and said, "Is this news true? Have you ever found out which young master you want to make the crown prince?"

Fusu shook his head: "This matter has not been clear. I only heard from the words of the palace servants and heard Li Xiang and His Majesty mention Hu Hai vaguely!"

"Click~~"

Chen Xu seemed to hear a shocking thunder falling from the sky on his soul, and the soul that slashed him was trembling.

Li Si's move is a trick to remove the firewood from the cauldron. If Hu Hai was really made the crown prince by the emperor, then what Chen Xu did today would definitely be a wedding dress for Li Si in the future. The increasingly prosperous and prosperous Qin Dynasty would inevitably fall into the control of Hu Hai and Li Si.

Moreover, once the emperor makes a decision, no one in the world will be able to object, including Chen Xu.

The establishment of a crown prince is a family matter, and as a minister, he can only accept it. Even if there is a tradition of establishing a eldest son but not a young son, and a legitimate son but not a wise man, the Qin Dynasty was after all, and many etiquettes inherited by the Shang and Zhou dynasties have long been unrecognizable. The Qin State has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the position of crown prince in the middle is not respected by these ancient rituals, including Qin Shihuang himself, his father Yiren ascended the throne as the King of Qin. He was neither the legitimate descendant nor the eldest son. It was just that Lu Buwei operated from it to let Mrs. Huayang recognize him as his son, and then he had the opportunity to ascend the throne. As Yiren's only son, Qin Shihuang naturally inherited the throne of Yiren. Therefore, although the civil and military officials in the court were worried about who to make the crown prince, they did not have a set goal, and even the emperor was the same.

If the emperor does not establish a queen, then all the concubines with sons in the harem may become queens, but no one dares to raise this matter in person to the emperor.

Although civil and military officials and royal families were both willing to remind the emperor to become a crown prince as soon as possible and had argued several times in the court, the emperor had never made any statements, so this matter has gradually disappeared in recent years.

But Li Si suddenly entered the palace to discuss this matter with the emperor alone. Whether it succeeds or not, it is a very dangerous signal.

As the left prime minister and the emperor's most important minister, as Hu Hai's teacher, Li Si would definitely not be someone else's request to be a crown prince, but only Hu Hai must be.

Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that after killing Zhao Gao, Li Si jumped around.

Overall, Li Si is a rebellious boy who is born to be deeply concerned about his power. Seeing that he could not beat Chen Xu in the court, he simply used a trick to get rid of the firewood and handle the future successor of Daqin in advance and control it in his hands.

Once the emperor is in vain, as long as the imperial decree is established, even Chen Xu can't make any waves. At that time, Li Si can naturally slowly deal with the forces and networks of Chen Xu's camp, and hold all the results in his hands.

"Qinghe Marquis, although Fusu does not want to compete for the throne, if Hu Hai is appointed as the crown prince, your previous worries will be true, and Ziying will definitely not have any chance to ascend to the throne..." Fusu sat next to him and looked at Chen Xu with great concern.

"It's true, but the emperor must have not finally made up his mind about this matter, so there is still time to turn things around..."

Chen Xu stood up, thought for a long time, and then continued: "Your Highness, don't worry about this matter for the time being. You can go back to the palace for the time being. I will go to the palace tomorrow to meet the emperor, and explore the emperor's words before making plans. Moreover, even if Hu Hai is appointed as the crown prince, Your Highness does not have to worry too much about the future, because the conquest of the Western Regions has just begun, and many things are still unknown..."

"Western Regions?!" Fusu stood up for a long time and looked at Chen Xu in confusion, "Please ask the young master to solve his doubts, what is the connection between the Western Regions and the Crown Prince?"

Chen Xu thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness follows me!"

Fusu had no choice but to follow Chen Xu to the study room with confusion, and then he saw a huge world map hanging on the wall of the study room filled with various drawings and manuscripts.

"Your Majesty, please look at this world map!" Chen Xu closed the door and pointed to the map and said.

"What is a world map?" Fusu looked straight at the strange map two feet long and eight feet wide.

"The world map is the way we live in. The ancient world is full of heaven and earth. This map is the way the earth is. These areas marked with text are land, and the large blank space is the ocean. Our Daqin is here right now..." Chen Xu pointed at an area with Daqin written on it.

"Big... Daqin is so small?" Looking at the place where Chen Xu pointed, Fusu's mind instantly turned blank.

"Yes, compared to the entire land, my Great Qin is just a corner of my life, and it is absolutely not a big deal. The princes of the Central Plains have fought with each other for hundreds of years, and they are just rolling in a small area. I have already presented this map to Your Majesty. The civil and military officials of the court do not know why Your Majesty suddenly wanted to use troops to the bitter and cold areas of the Western Regions. But in fact, Your Majesty has made far-sighted plans and has long planned to conquer the Western Regions and open up the road to the West. There are many countries as powerful as my Great Qin. Even if we don't go, they will still come in a hundred years. Therefore, Your Majesty is just planning ahead. The Western Regions are vast and the Qin Dynasty is sparsely populated. The management after conquest is extremely difficult. If you follow the example of the Central Plains and govern the county, it will definitely be beyond your reach. Therefore, this marquis gave Your Majesty a special idea..."

"What's the idea?" Fusu asked dullly as if he was dreaming.

"Title the princes!"

"Ah?!" Fusu woke up in an instant and grabbed Chen Xu's arm and asked anxiously: "Young Master, please tell me clearly how to enfeoff the princes?"

"The princes are naturally divided into His Highness and the princes. Although the Western Regions are a bitter and cold place, after all, once the feudal state is divided, they have the right to establish a country, and they can start a court and discuss politics and form an army alone. Therefore, unlike now, all the young masters are worried all day long when they are nothing to do and wait for the emperor to become a crown prince!"

"Qinghe Marquis, this matter... how possible is this matter?" Fusu felt his soul burning, and his mouth was dry and he could only suck his saliva hard to nourish his throat.

"At least 80% sure, after all, the situation in the Western Regions and our Qin Dynasty is like this at the moment. There is no better strategy than ceasing the Western Regions. Even once Your Majesty begins to conquer the Western countries, it will take several thousand miles apart. It will take several months or even more than a year to go there. It will take so long to spread the news. The county system is not possible. Therefore, regardless of whether you have a crown prince or not, most of the princes will stay away from Xianyang to guard. Although Li Si now suggests that Your Majesty make Hu Hai the crown prince, because of the matter of ceasing the feud, Your Majesty must still think carefully. I think the biggest possibility is to wait until after conquering the Yuezhi. Li Si does not know the purpose of Your Majesty's conquest of the Western Regions. If you propose, Your Majesty will definitely not agree quickly. Or even if Your Majesty has the intention to become a crown prince, you will have to wait until this tour of Dongfang Road as soon as possible..."

Chen Xu carefully explained his speculation, but Fusu was shocked by Chen Xu's two messages and was distracted. Finally, under Chen Xu's persuasion, he calmed down his extremely chaotic mood and left Qinghe Villa and returned to the palace.

"What did your husband and brother tell me? Why did your brother look distracted?" Ying Shiman, who was watching Fusu's carriage and honor guard go away at the gate of the marquis's mansion, snuggled beside Chen Xu and asked quietly.

"Your Highness Fusu is worried about the fact that Your Majesty has appointed the crown prince!" Chen Xu walked slowly into the yard with Ying Shiman's hand.

"Husband means that the father is about to become the crown prince?" Ying Shiman couldn't help but exclaim and quickly covered her mouth and looked around.

"This matter is not yet concluded, but according to His Highness Fusu, Li Si went to the palace a few days ago to report to the emperor, and once mentioned the establishment of the crown prince, so he was very anxious. Today I specially lent Ziying to class to find out my words!"

"The father and the emperor have not yet established a prince, and all the brothers are anxious. However, according to the Zhou Li tradition, the eldest brother is the most likely. I wonder what else is there to worry about?"

Ying Shiman didn't understand the struggle between the court and the officialdom, and never understood the emperor's thoughts. Therefore, her idea was extremely simple and she thought that Fusu was most likely to ascend the throne in the future.

"Haha, according to common sense, I also think he shouldn't be too worried, so I persuaded him, but he was still anxious and uneasy in it. This is human nature. Be careful of your feet... Now the spring is getting stronger. A few days ago, I saw shepherd's purse seedlings on the edge of the field. Later, we went to the vegetable garden to dig some fresh shepherd's purse to make dumplings at night..."

"Okay, OK, Shiman hasn't eaten the beauty made by her husband for a long time!" Ying Shiman was very happy.

"I have been busy lately and I have neglected you and Wan'er. Tonight, my husband cooked in person. At that time, Qingrou also loved eating dumplings and vegetable cakes with shepherd's purse stuffing..."

"Sister Shui doesn't know where she went? She hasn't been back for almost a year. Husband, this time you follow your father to tour the southeast. You can also inquire about Sister Shui's whereabouts and find her back as soon as possible!"

"Well, I will go, but after I leave, you should be careful at home. Be sure to protect yourself and not eat some taboos of raw and cold. It will take at least three or five months for your husband to go there. I will try my best to come back to accompany you before the baby is born!"

"Don't worry, go there. There are many servants and maids in the mansion, and there are also women arranged by the mother to serve you. There will be no mistakes..."
