In the imperial palace, there is the Jingyi Hall.
Sun An just told Huang Laosi what happened in Jingzhao Mansion today.
"Bastard thing!"
After hearing this, Huang Laosi's face was full of anger: "He treated this Jingzhao Mansion as a place. He robbed the prison and killed the jailers. Since the beginning of the dynasty, there has never been such a shocking thing. That Chu Qing is so courageous."
Sun An was not surprised.
If you are wrongly accused, you are wrongly accused, but you cannot rob a prison, and you spread hay, pour kerosene, and kill people. It is indeed said that you are arrogant and courageous.
"Did you accept the imperial edict?"
Huang Laosi's tone was gloomy, and he obviously regretted giving Chu Qing the "official title".
"After opening the prison door, Mr. Chu passed out. The old slave sent people from Qianqi Camp to investigate the matter, so he did not read it out."
"It's okay if it's not read out. This person is too bold. Let's investigate the matter clearly before talking about it."
"Your Majesty, the investigation has been clear. All the people involved have been brought to the Ministry of Punishment. The son of Hiroshi Shang, Hiroshi Gaozhi, is also deeply involved. There is also a jailer named Jiayi who was bribed by the Li family. These two people were He was brought to the Qianqiying Yamen Office and has been recruited."
"What happened?"
"As Mr. Chu said, Jia Yi wanted to frame him. Not only that, he also wanted to frame Tao Shaoqing. Mr. Chu saw the flaw and refused to arrest him. The two jailers Jia Yi and Jia Er wanted to use torture, but Mr. Chu fought back. , accidentally killed Jia Er and knocked Jia Yi unconscious. Because he didn't know who to trust, he restrained the other two jailers who had changed duties, and locked the prison door until night."
Huang Laosi nodded slightly and said angrily: "I didn't see it, but there is a bit of bravery and strategy."
After a pause, Huang Laosi changed the topic: "Even if this happens again, we can't rob the prison. The Jingzhao Mansion is at the feet of the emperor. This bastard should be punished. The imperial edict should not be announced, but an order should be sent to Chu." In the mansion, scold Chu Wensheng again."
"I will send it to you tomorrow, old slave."
"Just find any eunuch and send them to you. The Chu family is really asking for a beating!"
"Your Majesty." Sun An gave a bitter smile and commented with a rare subjective opinion: "The Master Chu was also scared at that time. He looked around and saw no one he could trust, not to mention Lord Ma or Lord Tao. , and the old slave, he didn’t believe it, and even scolded the old slave, saying that the old slave was bribed by the Li family.”
"This bastard doesn't know who is good or bad, and he doesn't know who is good or evil."
Sun Anle said: "The old slave also asked who he believed in. Who he believed in told his name, and the old slave brought him."
"He must be talking about his father, or Wei Changfeng."
"No, no, Your Majesty, he mentioned you, no, he mentioned General Huang Si and said he only believed in General Huang Si."
Huang Laosi looked very moved: "Is that really what you said?"
"How could I lie to you? That's what I said. Mr. Chu said that as soon as General Huang Si left, he would open the prison door and only tell Huang Si about his grievances. No one else would believe it."
Huang Laosi was silent, expressionless, and then suddenly burst out laughing: "Whatever, you see, I said, this guy is very talented, and he also has a pair of discerning eyes, even though he doesn't have much contact with me. , but I know that General Huang Si, who is full of righteousness and a dignified gentleman, hates evil and hates evil. He did not mention his father Chu Wensheng or Wei Changfeng, but he mentioned me, hahahahaha."
Sun An laughed sarcastically.
Originally, he should have believed our family. It wasn't because a certain General Huang said behind our back that our family was full of evil.
"What did you say..." Huang Laosi said with beaming eyes: "Yes, yes, you are impressed by my charisma. Yes, that's what Chu Qing said. You are impressed by my charisma. The world , only trust me!"
Huang Laosi, who was still angry just now, changed his face whenever he was told, happily.
"Although I am not wearing a dragon robe, I still can't hide my awe-inspiring righteousness. Jingzhao Mansion is in charge of all matters in the capital. The prince's young master is a famous scholar in the world. You, this old slave, are my personal attendants. Chu Qingdu Don’t believe it, don’t believe it, hahaha, just believe me.”
Huang Laosi was indeed very happy.
It's cool to get along with others as an ordinary person, and then pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, reveal your identity as a real dragon emperor, and frighten the other person into submission.
But it would be even more satisfying if, as an ordinary person, you could make the other person "wow him down".
"Tomorrow, after court, you can go to the Chu Mansion to read out the imperial edict."
"Then the old slave shouldn't be too harsh in his words when drafting orders?"
"Idiot!" Huang Laosi glared: "What are you admonishing? I want to praise such a brave, resourceful and discerning young man. Yes, praise him a lot. In addition to this East Palace subordinate officer, I want to praise him a lot. "
The old eunuch was finally convinced.
I don't know whether to say Chu Qing is lucky or unlucky.
There was such a big mess, and it didn't matter that he wanted to find General Huang. It turned out that right and wrong were all decided by the emperor.
Huang Laosi, whose vanity was unprecedentedly satisfied, said cheerfully: "I always say that good talents like this are rare, and there are even fewer good talents that I can trust. As everyone knows, to work for me, not only do I need to be trustworthy, but also He must also trust me, he must not leave any room for error, he must use his life, and he must know that I will not treat him badly. This Chu Qing believes in me, and I also believe in him."
The old eunuch was a little confused.
Do they trust General Huang Si? To take a step back, it cannot be said that they trust General Huang Si. They just think that Huang Si is a favorite of the emperor. That's why you said so. Are you over-interpreting it?
Huang Laosi suppressed his smile, was silent for a moment, and then said: "I didn't expect that not only did he have an official status and join the Ministry of Revenue, but he also became a tutor in the Ministry of Revenue. He is quite capable."
"Yes, you haven't seen her today. Master Wei is so precious."
"It's a pity that this official position is too low. If he has some qualifications, it would be best for me to let him do this thorough tax investigation."
After a pause, Huang Laosi showed a trace of sadness on his face: "I don't know how many people I will offend if I conduct a thorough investigation of the world's taxation. Wei Changfeng is too upright, Tao Shaozhang is too upright, and the others are not qualified enough. This tax inspection should Whoever I send will give me a headache."
Sun An responded.
It's really like this. It's very difficult to find a perfect candidate by mobilizing your whole body. Everything else is easy to say. The main thing is that this person has a "strong head", or his identity is "iron" enough. , it can be seen from the reaction of the Li family that these people who are greedy for money and money can do anything. Even Wei Changfeng, this group of people may dare to scheme.
Huang Laosi was also thinking about this matter, and suddenly said in an uncertain tone: "What if King Langya came to investigate...?"
Sun An looked confused: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince?"
"That's right, apart from a few veterans, the only people I can trust are the flesh and blood of the Tian family. Changxian, the boy, also reads some memorials on weekdays. If he finds a reason for him to investigate, he will pick up the opportunity and let me know. Does he really know how to repent..."
Sun An's expression changed drastically, he quickly lowered his head and said nothing.
It was related to the second prince and an accident in Yuanri. It was a secret in the palace, and even he did not dare to say anything casually.
Huang Laosi fell into silence again, unable to make up his mind.
After a while, the old eunuch reminded: "But His Highness, the Second Prince, is not familiar with accounting and accounting matters."
"That's easy to say, then Chu Qing will teach him."
Huang Laosi, who was a little undecided for a moment, smiled and said: "It is also good to learn more skills. It just so happened that the person who conferred Chu Qing was an official of the East Palace. In addition, he should be taught by arithmetic, and there is also the prince. Let King Langya and the prince first." Let’s learn more and then talk about it.”
"Old slave, I took note of it."
There are many officials in the imperial court who hold multiple positions. The subordinate officer of the East Palace is just a false title. There is no conflict between the subordinate officer of the seventh rank and Chu Qing's deputy prime minister of the eighth rank.
