Early in the morning, Chu Qing didn't need Fu San to wake him up. He woke up by himself. After waking up, he immediately went to find the bronze mirror. After looking at it for a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief. In his dream, he was beaten badly, with a bruised nose and swollen face. As soon as the big fat man named "Shi Dao" made a move, the group of big shots who were originally frightened became fierce and chased him everywhere.
I think about it every day and dream about it at night.
Struggling in this damn world, Chu Qing was both angry and timid, wanting to be angry but also groveling.
After a simple breakfast, Chu Qing took Fu San away from the house and went to the Hubu Yamen Office to work as an errand.
While walking on the road, Chu Qing was not in good spirits.
Fu San followed his habit and asked again: "Master, you have something on your mind."
This time, Chu Qing did not deny it outright, but nodded slightly.
"Yeah, I had a dream and I wasn't in a good mood."
"What dream?"
"There's nothing to say, I just feel a little..." Chu Qing sighed, forced a smile and said: "Forget it, just be alone when you are poor, take care of yourself, just turn a blind eye to things you don't like, I told you that you also don't know."
"Why don't you understand? You understand." Fu San said cheerfully: "Young ones have also studied for a few days. If you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are rich, you will have a group of wives and concubines. This is the principle."
Chu Qing gave a thumbs up: "Immaculate."
Fu San was happy and felt that he had the potential to become a great scholar.
Chu Qing looked around at the official sedans rushing to go to court, feeling suddenly confused.
After the imperial examination, there were thousands of soldiers and horses on the single-plank bridge, and when he became an official, he worked hard to climb up, climbed to the fifth rank, and entered the court to engage in intrigues.
But life and death depend on the emperor's words.
Guang Haishang, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry and the right minister of the imperial court. With one word from the emperor, everyone in the family was arrested and put in the jail of the Ministry of Punishment.
Chu Qing was not used to this feeling of being in the hands of others.
He did know that Hong Hai was not a good official, and this was the fate he deserved.
But when I think of my father, although his business is not up to standard, he is dedicated to serving the people, so he is still frightened all day long.
Is it really like what he usually says, that there is no way out by doing practical things and flattering is the right way?
When he went to the Household Office today, he should also talk to the two adults, Lao Wei and Lao Qiu, about a thorough tax and bank investigation. What follows is likely to be a turning point in his life.
For a moment, Chu Qing was extremely hesitant. Should he be alone, or should he take care of his wife and concubines?
Chen Yan and Tao Shaozhang are one extreme, while Qiu Wanshan is the other extreme.
Chu Qing wanted to be Chen Yan and Tao Shaozhang, but he was afraid of dying without a burial place.
Chu Qing wanted to be like Qiu Wanshan, but he was afraid that he would not be able to sleep well for the rest of his life.
If he had a choice, he would want to make a compromise that could live up to his conscience and live happily at the same time. But if he had to make a compromise, it would depend on the emperor's face. The problem was that this new king always felt a little unreliable.
"San'er." Chu Qing lowered his voice: "What do you think of the emperor?"
"Emperor?" Fu San said carelessly, but there was nothing unusual on his face: "I haven't had any dealings with him before."
Chu Qing rolled his eyes.
Isn’t this nonsense? Master, I haven’t dealt with Buffett yet.
"I just want to ask you, as an ordinary citizen, what do you think of the emperor? What do you think of the emperor?"
Fukusan scratched the back of his head out of habit and fell into thinking.
Chu Qing slowed down and waited patiently.
Seeing that they were approaching the Household Office, Fu San finally spoke.
"have no idea."
Chu Qing: "..."
"Young Master." Fu San shook his head: "I have never seen the Emperor before, so I don't know what kind of virtue he is."
"What about the people? What do the people think of the emperor?"
"Isn't that what the emperor is like? If the people can wear warm clothes and have a full stomach, they will be grateful. How can they think about what the emperor is like?"
"Too."
"Master, why did you suddenly mention this?"
Chu Qing smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm just going to hug you and find someone to support you."
Fu San was puzzled: "Didn't you say that Mr. Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, favors you?"
"That's true, but yesterday the entire family of the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, Hiroshi Shang, was arrested. The minister is one level lower than the minister, and he was arrested as soon as he asked. So, young master, I think Lao Wei's thighs are not thick enough."
"You mean someone who is more powerful than Shangshu... Shangshu Ling Zaifu?"
"Shang Shu Ling is better than the six ministers, but I still feel that the thighs are not thick enough."
Fu San suddenly realized: "Are you talking about the crown prince and the prince?"
Chu Qing's eyes lit up.
Yes, I can't see the emperor, but I have met the two princes. The prince Chang Yu looks very cool, so he should be easy to fool. The second prince Chang Xian is well-educated and seems to be an easy person to deal with.
"San'er, if I want to get close to the two princes, is there anything I can do?"
Fu San was all amused when he heard this: "Tianhuang nobleman, how can it be that ordinary people can see him whenever they want."
"Too."
Chu Qing was in trouble. Fu San was right. Not to mention himself, even his father couldn't see the prince if he wanted to. This was not something anyone could see casually.
But after thinking about it, Chu Qing thought that he could give it a try. Isn't Tao Yao the prince's young master? It all depends on people. If he is happy by being licked by the old man, he might be able to introduce him to the prince or prince.
"Is it possible..." Chu Qing looked dejected: "Is it still necessary to go to Tao's house to carry gas?"
"Tao family?"
"Yes, you can contact the prince through the Tao family."
Chu Qing trembled a little when he thought of Bihua's appearance. She was not as old as her father described her, around thirty. The main reason was that the eldest lady of the Tao family was completely different from what she thought. She thought she was puffy. It turned out that he was really strong.
Fu San shook his head: "Even if you meet the prince, young master, you won't be able to make friends with him."
"Oh, you don't understand. Giving gifts is just flattering." Chu Qing snapped his fingers: "The second prince doesn't know that the prince called me before and insisted on hearing something about Ju Bajie and Sanshou Baigujing. You can tell at a glance what this prince is not. Serious people, we can send beautiful women as gifts, right? There are so many foolish kings in history, don’t they all like beautiful women?”
Fu San shook his head: "I haven't heard that the prince has ever been in a talent show. How old is the prince? Most likely he is still a boy."
"The prince is a virgin, don't make trouble, he is already twelve or thirteen years old."
Chu Qing couldn't laugh or cry. People in ancient times married early. Who is the prince? He is a weakened version of the emperor. Not to mention three thousand beauties, there must be more than thirty.
"Master, do you think the prince is not a boy?"
Chu Qing shrugged: "Yes, third brother, everything you say is right, let alone the prince, his father and the emperor are both virgins."
Fu San fell into deep thought again. He felt something was wrong. Where did the prince come from?
Fu San is really not just careless. Counting back a few years, there was an emperor from the Lao Chang family more than a hundred years ago. The old pervert was like the reincarnation of a pervert. He searched for beauties from all over the world and made the people miserable.
As a member of the common people of the Dachang Dynasty, Fu San felt that he had an obligation to judge whether the prince was a womanizer.
In fact, Chu Qing was just talking. He hadn't even made a horoscope yet, so he could only think about whether he should hug the thigh in front of him or not.
When he arrived at the door of the Hubu Yamen Office, he saw a group of officials surrounding the notice board. After Chu Qing walked over, he discovered that it turned out to be a notice about the crimes of the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, Hiroshi Haishang. There were sixteen articles, big and small, about how much and how he was corrupted. , when did he become greedy, who were the witnesses, and what was the physical evidence? The evidence is overwhelming and extremely detailed.
Chu Qing looked at it intently, slightly shocked.
Emperor, what a deep city.
Qianqiying could not have just grasped the evidence of the crime, but the emperor actually knew that Hiro Haishang had been greedy for so much money, but he kept it secret and watched Hiro Hai Shang go to court with joy every day!
