Chu Qing randomly found a breakfast stall and arrived early. As soon as the stall was set up, an old man was busy, setting up stools and bringing steamed cakes and pickles.
After taking a few bites and paying the bill, Fu San said it was a few cents more expensive than usual. When he asked, he found out that the price of rice in Beijing was rising steadily, 30% to 40% higher than two months ago.
Chu Qing asked garrulously when the people would come down. The old man replied that all the refugees would be gone. The more refugees there are, the more expensive the rice will be.
After almost not sleeping all night, Chu Qing was in good spirits. He returned to the government office and wanted to deal with these bad things as soon as possible. He was worried and scared every day, mainly because he was tired.
In fact, with the recent series of events, Chu Qing's mentality is slowly changing.
It's not that the Li family has a problem, but that there are too many problematic families like the Li family. The problem is not the people, but the system.
Get rid of the Li family, the Wang family, and the Zhang family. A bastard fell and a group of bastards hatched from the eggs. This is the system and environment.
According to the history of later dynasties and generations, the only emperor who completely killed the aristocratic family was an aunt named Wu. If it were so easy to change the environment and system, there would have been emperors who had done this long ago.
Chu Qing won't think about these things because he knows very well that the money he owes has not been paid off yet.
When he thought of this, Chu Qing regretted it. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have pretended to be so smooth yesterday, and he would have saved hundreds or even thousands of strings.
After returning to the government office and coming to the class room, Chu Qing was in a daze because he didn't know what to do.
He and Fu San looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. They yawned at the same time and then found a comfortable position to catch up on their sleep.
Lying on the table, Chu Qing was feeling sleepy, and finally got into a good state. The door to the class room was pushed open, and a face that was as charming as a country appeared.
Tao Ruolin stretched her head and said with a signature smile: "Hey, isn't Chen Yan here?"
"Let me go." Chu Qing stretched out: "I have the final say in Qianqi Camp now."
Tao Ruolin laughed out loud and looked around after walking in: "Going to Xiao County?"
"how do you know?"
"You guessed it." After Tao Ruolin walked in, she looked at Chu Qing with a smile: "Did you guess it right?"
"Bingo." Chu Qing snapped his fingers: "The guy caught yesterday ran away from Xiao County. It is said that there are thousands of desperadoes hidden in the mountains and forests next to Xiao County. Maybe they are all Wu The king's men, Chen Yan said, want to see with your own eyes. If this is really what happened, then the capital camp will be mobilized to encircle and suppress it."
"Like This."
There was nothing unusual about Tao Ruolin's face. After sitting down, she tilted her head and thought: "Then let's do something serious."
"Serious business?"
"Yes, I was originally looking for you to do something serious. Let's go scare the governor of Jingzhao Mansion."
Chu Qing was confused: "Why are you scaring him?"
"The price of food is flat. Didn't you give me a lot of banknotes yesterday? The price of rice in Beijing is much higher recently. I want to buy it. I will buy a lot for the refugees, but I don't want those profiteers to take advantage of me."
Chu Qing deeply agreed. Look, what does it mean to be able to live a good life? This is it.
Tao Ruolin looked at Chu Qing with a smile: "Save some, maybe there will be a lot left. The rest will be returned to you."
Chu Qing suddenly stood up: "Fu San, the copycat guy named Qi Mazai, rush into Jingzhao Mansion!"
"Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute, listen to me." Tao Ruolin grabbed Chu Qing's sleeve: "Many grain shops are under the name of Lord Chaozhong. The governor of Jingzhao may not sell your face. Wait until King Langya Come and go together."
"Right."
Chu Qing didn't let the sugar-coated bombs go to his head. It must have offended someone, so he should let Chang Laoer share the burden.
Stretching, Chu Qing sat down again. Looking at Tao Ruolin's quirky appearance, he couldn't imagine how lustful this young lady was... how she could serve the country and the people and be cheated by Wu, Yu and King Wu. Be like that bear.
"What do you always watch people do?"
"I'm asking you something." Chu Qing hesitated: "It's just hard to say. If I ask, don't be angry."
Tao Ruolin stopped smiling, frowned slightly, and tilted her head: "Isn't that a good thing?"
"Asking something out of curiosity."
Tao Ruolin bit her lip, as if thinking, and then nodded: "Ask."
"That is, you and the Emperor know each other?"
"Yes, we are inseparable. If you annoy me, I will go find the emperor and he will catch you and beat you in the prison."
Chu Qing rolled his eyes.
I’ve never seen big winds and waves, and there are so many farts in the Tianlao. It’s not like I’ve never been in there before. Even Fu San has been there to experience it.
Fu San also pricked up his ears and became interested.
Chu Qing: "Can you tell me how you two met?"
In fact, Chu Qing was simply curious. In his eyes, the emperor was usually an old woman. Tao Ruolin was so beautiful and proficient in poetry and songs. Why wasn't she included in the harem?
Again, in the eyes of the diaosi, everyone is a diaosi. In the eyes of Chu Qing, those who fucked the emperor must be Lao Sepi. If not Lao Sepi, why did he have so many concubines and collect figures?
Chu Qing picked up the tea cup and pretended not to care and just asked casually.
"Oh~~~" Tao Ruolin looked like she suddenly understood: "You want to ask about the red-faced princes who were fighting for the throne."
Chu Qing didn't react for a moment: "I want to ask about the Eight Dragons seizing the throne."
"Yes, some people also call it the Eight Dragons Seizing the Progeny."
Chu Qing was confused.
In Tao Ruolin's eyes, the eight dragons fighting for the throne are just a few red-faced princes fighting for the throne?
"No, eldest sister, eight dragons are competing for the throne, eight princes and grandsons are vying for the dragon throne, and they are vying for the supreme power. Why are you rolling around with a bunch of dead children when it comes to your mouth?"
"I didn't say that." Tao Ruolin chuckled: "People say that the eight dragons seize the throne."
Chu Qing: "..."
Tao Ruolin looked back at the window and lowered her voice with a smile: "When the Supreme Emperor seizes the throne, it is the eight dragons who seize the throne. When His Majesty seizes the throne, it is very easy."
Chu Qing looked suspicious: "Is it easy?"
"I think it's easy. Let's talk about the prince first. When the prince sees other princes trying to compete for the throne, his true nature is exposed. He threatens the prince and his party. If anyone has second thoughts, they will confiscate the family and destroy the family. On the contrary, it chills the hearts of the ministers."
Chu Qing nodded: "That's right."
"The second prince is the most stupid one. He brought thirty-one imperial guards into the palace at night and asked the Supreme Emperor to issue an edict and abdicate the throne in favor of a worthy person. Who would have thought that the concubine serving the Supreme Emperor in Shangyang Palace was someone else? , from the common people, he followed his father, a bodyguard, to practice martial arts since he was a child. He traveled all over the country when he was young, and he was very good at using a fast sword. The emperor adopted him as his princess during his study tour. At that time, the two of them were wearing inner clothes, and the concubine used a sword. With a knife, he killed all the guards in a matter of seconds, and the second prince was chased out of half the palace."
Speaking of this, Tao Ruolin was so happy that her branches trembled with laughter.
Chu Qing was dumbfounded. He knew about this, but he didn't know that the Supreme Emperor's concubine was so fierce. This second prince must be too Der.
The Supreme Emperor was originally a general on horseback and was an expert at killing people, but it turned out that his wife was even more ruthless. She was a bodyguard and escorted the bodyguards all the time. The second son went to force the palace, and it was the two of them who forced him. How could he run around the palace without being chased?
"As for the third prince, he is also the King of Wu." Tao Ruolin stopped laughing and played with the jade bracelet in her hand: "He is also a stupid guy."
Chu Qing sat up straight. He was not too interested in what happened to the other princes. He just wanted to know about King Wu, not because he was investigating King Wu now, but what role Tao Ruolin played during this period.
"Forget it, let's talk about the fourth prince first."
Chu Qing: "..."
"It's hard to say that the fourth prince is the emperor. Let's talk about the fifth prince." Tao Ruolin was happy again: "The fifth prince is in the palace and is hosting a banquet for the four princes, the fourth prince, the third prince, the second prince, and the prince. Tsk, tsk, tsk, you have to say he is cruel. , these fifth princes are the most cruel, do you know what his intention was in inviting the four princes to a banquet?"
"Didn't he threaten the other four princes? He said that he wanted to be the emperor and that anyone who stopped him would be destroyed in the future."
"No, he wanted to kill the other four princes at the banquet. He was so obsessed that he went crazy."
Chu Qing looked horrified: "In the palace, we must kill the other four princes."
"Yes, at that time, several princes were already jealous and could not trust each other. Although they went to the banquet, they agreed to leave the guards outside the palace. The fifth prince who entertained other princes was the most cruel and ruthless. There are eight dead soldiers hidden behind the pillar, preparing to assassinate the four princes."
"I'll go, this guy is too cruel."
"Yes, that's why I said he was bad. The eight dead soldiers were all the guards of the fifth prince. After they jumped out, they were holding sharp swords. After that..."
"Then the four princes worked together to subdue these dead soldiers?"
"Where is this? There are eight dead soldiers. Three of them are the fourth prince, who is the current emperor. Two others are the prince's people. The remaining three are the second prince, King Wu, and the fourth prince. people."
Chu Qing was dumbfounded and completely confused. Fu San even opened his mouth.
Lao Wu called eight dead soldiers and prepared to kill the other four princes by force. The eight dead soldiers jumped out, and when they were finished...they were all the other party's people. Why the hell was there no one of his own? !
"Hahahahaha."
Chu Qing burst out laughing like a firecracker.
Tao Ruolin also smiled slightly: "The eighth prince is thirteen years old. He blushes when he sees several royal brothers fighting. He wants to run out of the capital and remain anonymous. He is afraid of being eliminated by his royal brothers. As for the seventh prince, he wants to sit back and take it all in. Fisherman Zhili also left the city, but who expected it? He and the Eighth Prince both left the city at night, on the same day, and brought dozens of guards with them. When they met in the north of the city, they both thought that the other party was here to kill. My own, the two sides fought and injured each other. Their respective guards took their princes and ran back to the palace, not knowing that the other party was also leaving the city to avoid disaster."
Chu Qing was stunned at first, and then laughed even louder.
"As for the sixth prince, he has been in poor health since childhood. He learned that the two princes were fighting outside the city. After asking, he found out that it was a misunderstanding, so he invited the two princes to his palace to make peace. But Unexpectedly, the two princes quarreled again on the spot and started fighting. The two of them struggled on the ground. The sixth prince tried to pull them apart, but he didn't know who pushed him down. The sixth prince's head accidentally hit the corner of the table. Since then, he fell into a coma. When the Supreme Emperor learned about it, he almost broke the legs of the two princes. Finally, oh, the fourth prince won the throne."
"Hahahahaha."
Chu Qing was already smiling like something, and his whole body slid under the stool, laughing forward and back.
At this moment, Chu Qing finally understood why Tao Ruolin called the second Eight Dragons to seize the throne as a red-faced fight to death and stalking the throne. This was all put in a tactful way, and it was ridiculous that the Eight Dragons to seize the legitimate son and the kindergarten children to snatch the little red flower capital. More intense than this.
