The two brothers sat down on the steps and murmured for a long time before settling the matter.
Either that or a lot of things in this world are so small. Chu Qing had previously boasted that he was the emperor's gold medal spy, and his words came true.
After Chen Yan left the palace, he returned directly to the Qianqiying Yamen Office.
Chu Qing was teaching Changxian how to make beggar's chicken. Changxian didn't like any delicacies, but he couldn't help but his brother Changyu liked it, so Xunsi learned how to cook it for his elder brother.
Chen Yan quietly appeared behind the two of them, and reluctantly pulled off the waistband representing the deputy commander of Qianqiying.
Chu Qing didn't know who was standing behind him, so he said cheerfully: "Brother, I'm not bragging to you, Your Highness, it's just the chicken, I've done it clearly, look at this beggar's chicken, it's fat, juicy, and the meat is fresh and tender. At first glance, it seems that you often play basketball and do more sports. If you learn well, pick a few in the palace, do more for your elder brother and His Majesty to try, and do your best to fulfill your filial piety. It is better than investigating cases and arresting people. You are the right person. When a son becomes a younger brother, he doesn't need to prove anything, as long as he respects his elder brother and is filial to his father, don't worry all day long."
Changxian stood up and saluted Chu Qing: "Student, you have been taught. Although what you said is simple, it is the most reasonable thing in the world."
Chu Qing waved his hand: "No need to be polite, continue to beggar chicken."
What Changxian said was really not a polite word. After "death" once, many things have been figured out.
Yes, in fact, he really didn't need to prove anything. He didn't need to prove that he was better than his eldest brother. He didn't need to prove that he was worthy of being a prince. It would be great to be a prince peacefully. His father and his eldest brother had never I had never imagined what kind of person he would grow into, how wonderful it would be to live a happy life as a prince.
Unfortunately, after the accident in Yuan Ye, many things changed. Even if the prince and the emperor forgave him, he still wanted to make amends, make up for his mistakes, and make up for it twice as much.
Chen Yan stared at the back of Chu Qing's head for a long while.
He finally knew why he liked this guy, and he finally knew why his fourth brother Huang Laosi liked this guy.
Yes, there are so many messy things between relatives. They care about each other, care for each other, and treat each other sincerely. That’s all. Whose belongs to whom belongs. Don’t fight or grab. What else can be more important than family love? Importantly, if you take away something that does not belong to you, you will have to give up everything you originally owned.
Changxian squatted down again and said with a smile: "Master Chu is really versatile, and he is also proficient in cooking."
"That's a must. I know a lot."
"He who is able will work hard. When this matter is settled, the student will definitely ask for credit from his father and be promoted to a higher rank for Master Chu."
When Chu Qing heard this, he waved his hands in fright: "Brother, please stop making trouble and don't get promoted. Let's just let nature take its course. I will just slowly earn my qualifications in the household department and slowly climb up through normal channels. Don't get those useless ones. All the official positions that the emperor can appoint are military commanders in the palace. I don't want to enter the palace. Even if I don't enter the palace, it is still an errand for Qianqi Camp. Then I might as well enter the palace. In Qianqi Camp It’s hard to find someone to work as an errand, so if I’m given an official position in Qianqiying, I’d rather resign than be a bastard rather than a lackluster member of Qianqiying.”
Chen Yan, who was "eavesdropping" behind him, was still smiling and preparing to give Chu Qing a surprise. When he heard this, his face turned dark as if something was wrong.
Chen Yan couldn't listen anymore and whispered softly.
Chu Qing turned around, startled, and cursed: "Why don't you make any sound while walking down the aisle? You're cosplaying Xiaoqian with me."
Chen Yan also squatted down and opened his mouth. When the serious matter he was about to say came to his lips, he swallowed it back.
Originally, he wanted to say "congratulations" directly, and then said that Chu Qing was now appointed as the deputy commander of Qianqi Camp, and then everyone would discuss how to deal with the Li family.
But just now Chu Qing said that when the bastard was not on duty at Qianqi Camp, Chen Yan suddenly felt that it was not easy to say this.
His eyes rolled around, and Chen Yan started to talk nonsense.
"Oh, just after I left the palace, the emperor reprimanded me. Long Yan was furious, Long Yan was furious."
Chu Qing rolled his eyes.
This emperor seems to be out of business every day. He is very angry and has never heard of anything else. He doesn't know where he can get so angry. Why, he was reincarnated as a balloon spirit in his previous life.
Changxian looked a little suspicious.
He couldn't figure out why Huang Laosi was angry. There was progress in the case, which was a big breakthrough. He was angry at the ministers who had taken refuge in King Wu, not at Chen Yan.
Chen Yan glanced at Chu Qing, who was not paying attention, and said tentatively: "Your Majesty said that I, the deputy commander of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion, was incompetent and demoted me."
"It's true." Chu Qing smiled: "Congratulations, if you hang around for a few more days, I might be expelled from the Thousand Cavalry Camp. You can be regarded as a completely good person."
Changxian's face became more suspicious.
Chu Qing didn't know what was going on. How could he not understand that he was always staying in the palace.
Chang Xian had never found out the details about Chen Yan. He believed that even Sun An didn't know. In short, this man appeared out of nowhere. After Huang Laosi ascended the throne, he established a Thousand Cavalry Battalion. , were all former confidants, and Chen Yan, who led this group of people, was neither a civil servant in the court nor a military general in the army. The most puzzling thing is that the emperor trusted him so much, and his unconditional trust was probably to open the door for Sun An Now, it is impossible for Chen Yan to demote him.
Moreover, the nature of the Qianqi Camp is also very special. There is no horizontal competition externally, and it is only responsible to the emperor. Internally, it has a very single organizational structure. The commander-in-chief Sun An is in the name, and the deputy commander is actually in charge of the Qianqi Camp. There are eight small flags below. , the eight small banners in charge of the capital and the Tanma of other provinces, if Chen Yan demoted them to small banners, who would frighten the group of arrogant soldiers in charge of the Qianqi Camp?
Chen Yan glanced at Chu Qing's face and said with a smile: "Brother Xian is right, this commander-in-chief is the one who takes the blame, so he might as well be demoted."
"Who says it's not? Oh, by the way, I kicked you, so who will be the deputy commander? Is it easy to deal with the new person?"
Chen Yan chuckled and put the waist card in Chu Qing's hand.
Changxian took a breath.
Chu Qing was dumbfounded.
Chen Yan's face was full of smiles, and his smile was very teasing.
"What the hell..." Chu Qing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and pointed at himself, looking as confused as a goose.
Chen Yan nodded: "Your Majesty is very angry and very dissatisfied with Brother Yu."
"Brother Yan, are you kidding me?" Chu Qing almost cried: "I am dissatisfied with you, let me take over, let me, a small household minister, take over, we can't joke like this."
"Who is joking with you? Emperor Long Yan was furious and said that anyway, humans and dogs can control the Qianqi Camp. Why don't you come? How bad are you? The Emperor wants your head." Chen Yan smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is still considerate. Brother Yu, if you know this is not going well, you will anger Qianqi Camp. I think it is because you are afraid that Brother Yu will take the blame when the time comes, so I let you take over."
"Haha." Chu Qing turned to look at Changxian: "Your father... no, our Majesty of the Dachang Dynasty is really a sage."
Chu Qing looked at the badge in his hand and suddenly felt that he was not surprised at all.
According to his understanding of the "Emperor", this bastard is quite dishonest and unreliable in doing things. If nothing else, as Huang Laosi described it, this Emperor is basically just one step away from being a fool. Far away, grabbing outsiders and trapping them to death.
It has to be said that Chen Yan and Huang Laosi are real brothers. Now when they face Chu Qing, they both throw the blame on the "Emperor"'s head.
Adding burdens or promotions to other ministers is a sign of trust in you. The country needs you. Chu Qing, Chen Yan and Huang Laosi understand clearly. It's simple and rude, do it. If you can't do it well, you will be asked. Head!
