The Supreme Emperor hurriedly explained, he was quite flustered, and he looked like a habitual offender.
In fact, this is also the case. The Supreme Emperor is like a Viagra, always merciful, and he likes to hook up with people in the world.
Chu Qing finally understood.
As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy. This sentence has always been on the lips of the Emperor when he was young. It can be regarded as a mantra.
What Chu Qing just said was almost the same, and his demeanor was roughly the same as when the Emperor was young.
The Supreme Emperor was quite proud. He looked at Chu Qing and asked, "Your child really looks like me. Then I ask you, why do you want to be emperor?"
Chu Qing poured a glass of wine for the Supreme Emperor and asked tentatively: "For the country and the people, create a prosperous age?"
The Supreme Emperor chuckled and said, "Tell the truth."
Chu Qing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Minghui Qingshi?"
"Tell the truth."
Chu Qing gritted his teeth and risked his life: "Sit among the beauties in the world and enjoy all the glory and wealth."
The Supreme Emperor laughed heartily again, as if seeing a close friend. The more he looked at Chu Qing, the more delighted he became.
Instead of marrying any kind of man to any kind of wife, Chu Qing didn't know what Zhang Muling was like before marrying into the Tian family. He just knew that the aunt was quite good now, and he still agreed with the Supreme Emperor.
The Supreme Emperor drank another drink and wiped his mouth: "Yes, when I seized the throne, I was thinking that if I became the emperor, all the beauties in the world would belong to me, and I could chop whoever I wanted, as much as I wanted. We need as much money as we need, if it weren’t for this, who the hell would seize the throne.”
Concubine Hua started to stir up trouble again: "If you don't fight for it and someone else takes the throne, how will your fate be?"
"This is true." The Supreme Emperor sighed: "But who would have known that only after he ascended the throne did he know that this emperor was not a human being."
As soon as this matter was mentioned, the Supreme Emperor began to complain uncontrollably.
"It's still dark, and I'm about to go to court. I want to choose a beautiful girl, but I have no fucking money. There are constant natural and man-made disasters. Memorials are piled on the desk, and it seems that there will never be enough approval. If I had known this, no one would go there. After one day of seizing the concubine, I was like a wild dog in the dog days of summer. I was even more exhausted physically and mentally. Lying on the bed, I didn’t even want to take a look at the concubine’s naked buttocks. Qing’er, tell me, this was done by humans. An errand?"
Chu Qing swallowed a sip of saliva. He hadn't drunk too much. Even if he had drunk too much, he wouldn't dare to continue.
But he can be sure that the Supreme Emperor may have had a little too much to drink, and he would not call himself me anymore.
The Supreme Emperor was happy again: "Then I called the boss, the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth, the seventh and the eighth. I am not this material. I won't do this job. Which of you will come and grab it? As long as you don't want it." I cut my brother and saw blood, use my true skills to sit on the dragon chair."
Concubine Hua said with a smile: "Afterwards, the Supreme Emperor felt that You'er was good enough, so he also spread the rumors, saying that his body was broken and he abdicated the throne."
"The Supreme Emperor would have fun if he didn't sit in the Jingyi Hall and the Political Affairs Hall." The more the Supreme Emperor spoke, the more proud he became: "I, I can sleep as long as I want, and I can spoil whoever I want... I want to favor whoever I want. Just favor whoever you like, change your clothes, and go out and play if you want, so happy, the gods won't change either."
Chu Qing gave a thumbs up: "You are really sober in the world."
This is the truth, Chu Qing praised it sincerely.
That’s true at all. The emperor is in charge of the world and has the most authority, but there is a price to pay for guarding this right. Are there so many hard-working emperors in history really happy? Not necessarily. Of course, there are also many foolish emperors who live in wine pools and meat forests, but it’s refreshing. Well, the dragon chair cannot be kept for a few years.
Looking at the Supreme Emperor again, it turned out that he was not the material at all. He gave up and did whatever he wanted. He declared to the public that he was ill and could do whatever he wanted.
Concubine Hua was obviously a woman who didn't care about etiquette. She poured Chu Qing a glass of wine and asked with a smile: "I know you are confused. Although Zhang Songling is my eldest brother, he is also a sycophant."
"you…"
"The Supreme Emperor and I are like mirrors in our hearts. You can't figure out why I don't speak for Zhang Songling, can you?"
Chu Qing nodded honestly.
Concubine Hua's smile changed slightly, with some unspeakable complexity: "If you are a daughter, you will know that when you reach the age of hair, your relatives will send you to the palace. These so-called close relatives' bloodline is just Use you as goods in exchange for benefits..."
Having said this, Concubine Hua shook her head slightly: "After going to the palace, those who treat me well are not relatives anymore, but the Supreme Emperor. Even though Zhang Songling is my eldest brother, he is like a stranger. He says something that shouldn't be said. , My child, do you know that if I lose favor and are driven out of the palace, Zhang Songling will drive me away with a stick, do you believe it or not."
Chu Qing was silent, the answer was self-evident.
He understood clearly that the world was awake, not only the Emperor, but also Concubine Hua.
Yes, why should such a family member care about him?
They have been treated as goods for profit exchange since childhood. If they lose their value, they will be worse than strangers. This is also the greatest sorrow for women from aristocratic families. Regarding this, Concubine Hua understands this point better than anyone else.
Raising his head and looking at the Supreme Emperor, Chu Qing asked: "Then...do you have feelings for Zhang Songling?"
"Yes, why not." The Supreme Emperor said with a carefree look: "I have been in the border army for many years, and even a dog has feelings."
"But boy, I have to..."
The Supreme Emperor interrupted: "If you don't say it, I know it in my heart, but don't worry. I ask you, does it benefit or disadvantage me, Dachang, to have Zhang Songling as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites?"
Chu Qing didn't hesitate at all: "There are disadvantages, big disadvantages."
"I ask you again, whose world is this Chang Dynasty?"
"The emperor's, the emperor's, the prince's, the world of the Chang family."
"The dragon chair of the Chang family is gone. Who will be the first person to be found dead in two places?"
"Yes Yes…"
"Yes, they are members of our Chang family." The Supreme Emperor once again showed a seemingly bold but slightly wise smile: "Zhang Songling is harmful to the country. If this huge Chang Dynasty dies, our Chang family will undoubtedly die. In this case, protecting him would be harming myself, my children, and my relatives. Will I harm my own life, harm the lives of my relatives, harm my Chang family, and lose my great country for an outsider?"
Chu Qing stood up, filled the cup of wine for the Supreme Emperor, and said sincerely, "My dear Chu Qing, I would like to call you the sleeping dragon, phoenix, and wise man of my Dachang Dynasty."
The Supreme Emperor laughed loudly: "Now you know why Youer wanted to cut off all my trusted people after he ascended the throne."
"You mean...you acquiesced?"
"No, I told you that these people who were dismissed are all my cronies in the border army. They have no ability. Without official positions, they can at least be rich and enjoy their old age. If they are high in the court, it will harm them. , in addition to Qin Gang and Wu An, there are a few others, I will not allow Youer to touch them, and these people do not include Zhang Songling."
Chu Qing's expression changed greatly: "But some time ago, there were always rumors in the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Civil Affairs that my father was dismissed."
The Supreme Emperor seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Are the Ministers of Provincial Affairs and the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the palace? Has the emperor ever personally said that Wu'an will be abolished?"
Chu Qing was stunned for a long time and wanted to curse.
Then you two, you should have said this earlier!
"Your Majesty, what about the palace's income?"
"In addition to Zhang Songling, you can make up for it."
"I…"
"If you don't make up for it, you will be relieved of your duties as deputy commander of the Qianqi Battalion."
Chu Qing didn't know why: "What does it have to do with my errand?"
"Where do you think the palace's income has gone? The salaries of the Thousand Cavalry Camp detectives are not given by the Ministry of Revenue."
"I see." Chu Qing sat down on the embroidered pier: "No wonder I haven't heard of any profitable industry in the palace."
The Supreme Emperor poured a glass of wine for Chu Qing: "Every month, about 50,000 guan, Zhaoyang Palace 30,000 guan, and the rest will be sent to Jingyi Hall."
Concubine Hua said angrily: "It's all for Jingyi Palace, it just has a name. For our Zhaoyang Palace, a thousand guan is considered too much."
Chu Qing couldn't laugh or cry.
It turns out that all the money from the Supreme Emperor was given to the Emperor, and the Emperor used it for expenses at the Qianqi Camp and the palace.
The Supreme Emperor clinked their bowls with Chu Qing and said with a smile: "Let's discuss it with Lao Jiu. As long as the Qianqi Camp no longer needs money and food from the palace, if you don't get rid of Zhang Songling, I can think of a reason to help you get rid of it."
Chu Qing smiled bitterly.
Originally, he should be happy.
Because after drinking this meal, he could be sure that he was in an invincible position, while Zhang Songling was in a certain death situation, but when it came to Qianqi Camp's expenses, it really made him numb. .
Concubine Hua asked strangely: "You kid, you are not stupid. Since you are dealing with him, you have never thought about who will take over Jingzhong Stone after his fall. You still think you have a plan, but you are so reckless."
"Fuck!" Chu Qing knocked on his forehead, then pulled out a pile of banknotes from his sleeve, counted 50,000 banknotes, and slapped them on the table.
"This is the income of the palace next month. Your Majesty, my empress, you two will be exchanged for Zhang Songling. From now on, I, Chu Qing, will buy out all the sycophants in Zhaoyang Palace!"
The old couple's eyes were wide open. They looked at the hundreds of thousands of silver notes in Chu Qing's sleeves. The emperor swallowed and said, "How about I recognize you as my adopted son?"
Concubine Hua kept nodding her head as if she had never seen money in her eight lifetimes.
In fact, the couple really didn't have any money, and Huang Laosi wanted to take away all the money.
