Multiverse: Beginning with Forced Binding

No matter how much Sheng Hong dotes on Sheng Molan, he can't do the behavior of abandoning other girls and finding a teacher only for Sheng Molan.

But if Lin Qige pays for this money, there will be no problem, not to mention that this money is given by Anping Marquis Mansion, even Old Lady Sheng and Wang Ruofu can't control it.

Sheng Molan did not refuse the money. Holding the silver note, she thought for a while, and then said: "Cousin, I will use this money to hire a teacher, but not only teach me, but also my two sisters will follow and learn together, and I will pay for the expenses."

"Hahaha!" Chen Xi laughed out loud and patted Sheng Molan's head: "Well done!"

Lin Qinshuang was still a little unhappy. When she thought that Wang Ruofu's daughter took advantage of her family, she felt uncomfortable all over.

Sheng Molan, on the contrary, saw it clearly. If she really ate alone, she would not be wrong, but her reputation would be ruined. Even Sheng Hong would think she was vicious, and would instead favor Sheng Rulan and Sheng Minglan who suffered losses.

On the contrary, if Sheng Molan is generous enough, Sheng Hong will value her more. He will think that if this girl suffers a loss, he will definitely make it up to her afterwards, and Sheng Molan will also have a reputation.

Sheng Molan has been taught by Chen Xi, and she knows very well that what is a loss, taking advantage, etc., can not be judged by the surface, but by the final benefits.

The most important point is not to stand on the opposite side of the majority, unless you have the strength to crush.

Just like Kawakami Tomie's teaching to Zhao Xi, the most important idea is that "power comes from the barrel of a gun". Without armed forces, everything is nonsense.

Without absolute strength, let alone Zhao Xi, the current official family dare not stand on the opposite side of the courtiers. In many things, even the emperor has to learn to compromise.

From the country to the family, it's the same.

Sheng Molan can't let herself be cut off from the Sheng family. If she can't make it in her own family, then she shouldn't enter the palace.

Seeing Sheng Molan's growth, Chen Xi is very happy and can leave with peace of mind.

In Bianjing, Zhao Xi had been taken out by Kawakami Tomie several times to understand the people's sentiments and see with his own eyes how the lower-class people lived.

Understand the people's sentiments, understand the prices, and understand the various aspects of the world, so that he would not be deceived when he became the emperor in the future.

The most important point is to let Zhao Xi see what kind of virtues those so-called literati in Bianjing are, as well as the yamen in those families.

Zhao Xi really saw a lot of things that destroyed his worldview. He returned to the palace with a lot of questions, found the current emperor, and asked all the questions he couldn't figure out.

The emperor has only one son, and the throne will definitely be passed to Zhao Xi in the future. Seeing that his son is learning to think, he should teach him more.

The emperor began to teach Zhao Xi the way of the emperor. The 10-year-old Zhao Xi also studied seriously. Even if he had different opinions in his heart, he would not say it directly on the surface, but chose to go back and ask Tomie.

Tomie would break down the emperor's words to help Zhao Xi better understand why the emperor made such a decision.

After being taught by Kawakami Tomie, Zhao Xi's heart became quite wild. Whenever the government had to compromise because of the court officials, he would tremble with anger.

It can be said that Zhao Xi had no good feelings for those so-called literati. In his opinion, they were a group of parasites.

The officials in the court had formed their own interest groups, and even the government did not dare to confront them head-on.

Zhao Xi was very distressed. How should he deal with such interest groups after he succeeded to the throne in the future?

Kawakami Tomie gave timely advice: "Your Highness, you can't break that shell with your bare hands. You need a weapon and smash it directly with a hammer."

"Hammer?" Zhao Xi was thoughtful.

Kawakami Tomie guided Zhao Xi little by little, making him want to form an army. Only by mastering the army could he have the capital to confront the officials in the court.

The idea was good, but the officials in the court would not be willing to see Zhao Xi holding an armed force in his hands.

Kawakami Tomie gave timely advice: "Your Highness, we didn't think about forming an army, we just wanted to have fun. Your Highness likes to have fun, so it's not a big deal to have a Boy Scout troop for fun, right?"

"Boy Scout?" Zhao Xi's eyes lit up, and he immediately realized the importance of this army. Now he is a Boy Scout, and when he grows up, he will be a regular army.

"To reassure the court officials, Your Highness must not find adults to manage the army. From the commander to the soldiers, all the troops in this army must be children."

"But... let children command?" Zhao Xi was a little worried: "Isn't it too childish?"

"If we don't do this, the court officials will not agree."

"Then... who is more suitable to lead this scout for me?"

"Your Highness, we can only find available talents from the military merits."

"Tomie, it shouldn't be that simple. Those civil officials will not be willing to see this. They say that the children at home are helping me, and they are also worried that the military merits behind those children will intervene."

"Your Highness is right, I think it's simple."

"But what you said is also a way." Zhao Xi began to think about it. If I find someone with a less powerful military merit, will the civil officials have no objection?

Zhao Xi told the emperor about his ideas, and the matter was naturally handed over to the emperor to help select the right candidate. After choosing and choosing, the contemporary Anping Marquis, the 8-year-old Chen Xi, caught the emperor's eye.

After getting the name Chen Xi, Zhao Xi did not rush to the door, but prepared to observe secretly to see if this person is suitable.

With Kawakami Tomie as an insider, Zhao Xi's sneak observation had long been exposed. What he saw was what Chen Xi wanted him to see, and what he heard were all words of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

In Zhao Xi's heart, Chen Xi's image was already very good. He was a nobleman loyal to the court and the royal family. At the same time, this kid looked down on those so-called literati in his heart.

Zhao Xi was overjoyed. This was simply the best helper God had given him.

The government did two things. It officially issued an edict to appoint Zhao Xi as the prince and to form the prince's personal army. The former was not important, but the latter was opposed by all officials.

It was not until the government talked about the composition and number of the prince's personal army that all officials reluctantly agreed. It was just a thousand children. Even if they grew up in the future, they would not be of much use.

Besides, without a famous general leading them, the so-called prince's personal army was a joke. They might not even know how to train.

The 8-year-old Anping Marquis Chen Xi was appointed as the commander of the prince's personal army. He led a group of children, like playing house, and almost became a joke in the whole Bianjing.

Because Chen Xi's name is the same as Zhao Xi, the government gave him a special character, Qianhe.

Chen Xi, whose character is Qianhe, implies that he is humble and peaceful.

Chen Xi thinks this character is very suitable for him.

Kawakami Tomie and Yingwei have a lot of complaints, and there is no place for his boss to be humble and peaceful.

Zhao Xi likes Chen Xi very much. He knows that the 8-year-old Anping Marquis is his most intimate confidant. Whether his ideals and ambitions can be realized depends on how Anping Marquis leads this army.

Zhao Xi patted Chen Xi's shoulder and said earnestly: "Qianhe, I will leave everything to you."

"I will live up to your expectations!"

Chen Xi began to play house games with a thousand scouts. At first, officials in Bianjing would check on the situation of the scouts from time to time. In the later period, they were too lazy to check on them. They were just a group of children playing around.

The court had money, so it was nothing to support 1,000 scouts. They were just entertaining the prince.

The prince's personal army completely became the biggest joke in Bianjing. After laughing, they were gradually forgotten.

Only Zhao Xi knew the true situation of the prince's personal army. He didn't even tell the emperor about this matter. He only trusted Fu Jiang.

Fu Jiang was the liaison between Chen Xi and the prince. The three of them were in the same camp.

Only when the prince was well could they be well.

If the prince was finished, the two of them would die with him.

One year after the establishment of the Prince's personal army, Kawakami Tomie took the ancient recipe she found 'accidentally' and presented it to His Royal Highness the Prince.

Looking at the ancient recipe, Zhao Xi's first reaction was not to present it to his father, but to do this business himself and use the money earned to secretly expand his army.

Zhao Xi only believed in the armed forces in his hands. With enough troops, he could do what he wanted.

For this purpose, he specially called Chen Xi back, and the monarch and his ministers discussed for a long time.

"You can do it." Chen Xi gave a positive answer: "But this matter needs to be extremely secret. Not only can your highness not appear, but even I cannot be involved."

"If Qianhe doesn't go, who will manage this army?"

"Let my butler go." Chen Xi directly pushed out the shadow guard: "My butler is also good at fighting. Let him be the coach and train this army. If there is any change in the future, it can be quickly mixed with the personal army."

Zhao Xi remained silent. He also had to consider the pros and cons of doing so. This was equivalent to handing over the army to Anping Hou. What if Anping Hou had some bad intentions?

"I'll think about it." Zhao Xi did not agree immediately.

Back to the palace, Zhao Xi asked Tomie again what to do.

"Your Highness, I believe in Anping Hou." Kawakami Tomie's tone was very affirmative.

"Why?" Zhao Xi didn't understand.

"There is no possibility that Anping Hou will rebel. The current emperor is diligent and loves the people. He is highly respected by the people. The country is peaceful. No matter who rebels, he will not win the hearts of the people. Moreover, Anping Hou did not have any prestige before. Why would he rebel?"

"But my army is in the hands of Anping Hou..."

"Your Highness, how many people does Anping Hou have? Have you forgotten the emperor and other armies?"

After hearing this, Zhao Xi suddenly realized that yes, he was only thinking about the prince's personal army and forgot that his father had the imperial guards.

Even if Chen Xi was in charge of the prince's personal army, he could not do anything bad because the current emperor was watching.

When he became the emperor in the future, the army in Bianjing would be under his control, so there would be no need to worry about Anping Hou's disloyalty.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xi felt much more comfortable.

Kawakami Tomie also added: "Your Highness, in my opinion, the Marquis of Anping is loyal to you and the court, and is a rare talent."

"Hmm..." Zhao Xi trusted Kawakami Tomie very much. Since she said so, he stopped struggling: "This matter is handed over to you, you arrange it for me."

"Yes, I will definitely do it properly."

Zhao Xi did not interfere in anything on the surface. He studied and kept fit every day, and then followed the government to learn the way of the emperor. Everything outside was handed over to Kawakami Tomie.

Kawakami Tomie started to make money with the ancient recipe she discovered, and secretly used the money she earned to raise soldiers. The training of these soldiers was handed over to the shadow guards.

To the outside, the crown prince Zhao Xi still controls the 1,000 boy scouts. Secretly, the shadow guards searched for young people of the right age all over the country and brought them back for special training.

With the financial support of Kawakami Tomie, the shadow guards trained smoothly and hid in the mountains without worrying about being discovered.

The caravans that transported food and supplies to this army had been charmed by Kawakami Tomie and would never betray her until death.

As the protagonist of the Sheng family, Sheng Hualan got married and Wei Xiaoniang gave birth to a bastard named Sheng Changsong.

Since Wei Xiaoniang was alive and well, Sheng Minglan also lost the opportunity to be raised by old lady Sheng and still served as a bastard of the Sheng family.

Sheng Molan used the money left by Chen Xi to hire the best master. She wanted to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery and needlework. Not only did she learn, but she also took her two younger sisters to learn together.

Sheng Hong admired Sheng Molan's cleverness, understanding and generosity. He once wanted to register Sheng Molan under Wang Ruofu's name, but was opposed by the eldest lady.

Sheng Molan also politely refused afterwards. She used a legitimate reason, filial piety.

"Father, it's not that my daughter doesn't know what's good for her, but if my daughter is registered under the name of the eldest lady, how will I feel?"

"My daughter ignored my feelings for her own selfishness. I dare not do such an unfilial thing, and I don't want to do it."

Sheng Hong looked at Sheng Molan with relief: "You are a good person, let's just leave it at that."

"Yes, thank you for your understanding, father." Sheng Molan was generous and generous. Although she was a concubine's daughter, her temperament was no worse than that of a legitimate daughter, and she was confident.

Looking at Sheng Molan, Sheng Hong couldn't help making a comparison. As a concubine's daughter, Minglan was a little petty and submissive, while the legitimate second daughter Rulan was not bad, but too pure.

Thinking of this, Sheng Hong also got angry: "Mo'er, take care of the two sisters more in the future."

"Yes."

Sheng Minglan has begun to hide her shortcomings because of Wei Xiaoniang's teachings. Both mother and daughter are not competitive and don't think there is anything wrong with this. Even if she gave birth to a son, Wei Xiaoniang's character can't be arrogant. She just wants to live her own life.

Sheng Rulan is heartless and lives a very happy life every day. She is most like Wang Ruofu. Some emotional changes are directly written on her face.

Wang Ruofu and Lin Qinshuang are not in harmony with each other, but it has not affected the relationship between the younger generation. Sheng Rulan likes Sheng Molan very much. Sheng Minglan also thinks that the fourth sister is very powerful. She admires but can't get close to her.

Chen Xi occasionally writes to Lin Qinshuang and Sheng Molan to tell them about his recent situation.

Knowing that Chen Xi has become the commander of the prince's personal army, Sheng Changfeng studies even harder and makes up his mind that when he becomes a civil official, he must give Chen Xi, a military official, a good look.
