After the court was over, Zhang Songling walked out of the political hall like a zombie.
The ministers all stayed away from him.
The minister, the doctor, the stewards, the officials he was close to, all the friends and colleagues who were in the same camp as him during this period, stayed away from him as if they were avoiding the god of plague.
He chose neither of the two options.
The emperor did not give him a chance to choose, because he did not take the initiative to explain. Finally, Sun An said on behalf of the emperor that King Wu was the emperor's brother, and it should not be what Qianqiying was worried about.
But that being said, in fact, is it really the case?
No one is a fool, not the emperor, nor the courtiers, so everyone knows that Zhang Songling either smuggled the palace's money or received money from King Wu.
So from this moment on, Zhang Songling is a bomb. Whoever gets close will be shattered into pieces one day.
When Zhang Songling stepped out of the threshold of the Council Hall, Sun An chased him out and forced 50,000 silver notes into Zhang Songling's hands in front of countless courtiers.
Sun An smiled, harmless to humans and animals, but his voice was very loud.
The old eunuch said that the emperor and the emperor would no longer accept money from the Zhang family. The money that the concubines in the palace had "financed" the Zhang family to open the shop had been "earned" back.
The courtiers were extremely certain that this was the emperor and they wanted to completely draw a clear line with the Zhang family.
And when the emperor wants to get a minister, he will do this.
Zhang Songling had a look of horror on his face.
The old eunuch said another heart-breaking words. Sun An said, if Mr. Zhang feels that the fifty thousand yuan is not enough, the emperor will find another way to raise it, because he does not want to take advantage of the Zhang family.
After finishing speaking, the old eunuch left.
The courtiers were further away, and even many supervisors had begun to sneer because they had found the target of impeachment.
The emperor's attitude became clear, it was not alienation, but disgust.
Will the emperor be indifferent to the money that is being defrauded of the emperor? If he ignores it, where is his prestige?
No matter what the purpose or the reason, Zhang Songling was finished.
Everyone left, and Zhang Songling's body was covered in cold sweat.
He wanted to speak loudly and explain to the courtiers that he had been tricked.
He wanted to rush back and explain to the emperor that he had been cheated.
But he couldn't open his mouth because he couldn't explain it.
Chu Qing, the two options given to him were both fatal situations!
"Master Zhang."
A soft call, so familiar.
Standing in the autumn wind, Zhang Songling turned his head, his pupils were dilated, and he looked at the young man in front of him. His eyes slowly filled with blood.
"you you…"
Chu Qing shrugged: "Accident or not, surprise or not, exciting or not?"
"You...why...why do you want to murder me like this!"
"It's okay to be idle, let's play."
"you…"
As the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Songling was not allowed to lose his dignity, and he was not allowed to lose his dignity in the palace, even if he had already lost his dignity.
Zhang Songling shouted with a stern expression, "Do you think you can overthrow me like this? I am still the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. Even you, Qianqiying, can't do anything to me!"
"I didn't say what I would do to you." Chu Qing stretched out and said with a smile, "Although it's a pity, I have to admit that at most, I can only do this."
Zhang Songling showed a ferocious smile: "As long as you don't kill me, I will still be the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. If I don't fall down, I will find ways to avenge this arrow!"
"No, no, no, no, no." Chu Qing stretched out a finger and kept shaking it: "You have no chance, because all you have now is the title of right minister of the Ministry of Rites. The emperor will not trust you. , I have cut off my relationship with you, which means that your biggest supporter is gone."
Zhang Songling gritted his teeth and shouted, "But I am still the right servant."
"Yes, I didn't say you weren't, but all the courtiers will alienate you, your subordinates, your superiors, and your lackeys will all alienate you and keep a distance from you."
"you…"
"Besides that, don't make mistakes. Once you make a mistake, the courtiers, you know, will be beaten by thousands of people." Chu Qing lowered his voice and continued: "Master Zhang, just a friendly reminder, maybe you now, Maybe, it should be, it has something to do with the King of Wu. Once you make a mistake, the courtiers will jump out one after another and prove to the emperor that they have nothing to do with you or the King of Wu, and then use the most vicious means to criticize you. you."
Zhang Songling's face turned pale.
How could I not understand this truth myself?
Chu Qing stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Songling's face gently: "Even if you didn't make a mistake, everyone will find a way to make you make a mistake. At that time, the prince's young master, the young minister of Dali Temple, the governor of Jingzhao, The Minister of Hubu and the Right Minister of Hubu, I, Qianqiying, will still criticize you as we did a few days ago and try every means to ruin your reputation. But I don’t know that by then, it will still be like before, with the people of the Ministry of Rites and the supervisory envoys, Your best friends, stand up and support you, will they? Don’t forget, the Ministry of Rites will be the target of public criticism if you are here, and even without the emperor taking action, Cao Wu Shangshu will also let you get out of the Ministry of Rites!"
"You have such a cruel heart!"
"Thank you for your support. Compared with you, I'm a little worse."
Chu Qing laughed loudly, pinched his waist, and said proudly, like a villain: "Old bastard, stop dreaming, you will never have a happy ending in this life, I will seal your shop and the Zhang family's shop one by one. I will take away all the money you have, one penny at a time. I will investigate your relatives one by one. Your closest friends will be alienated from you one by one. Let you know that those who originally loved you most will become The person who hates you the most."
Chu Qing stretched out his hand again and slapped the bloodless old face hard. His expression became more and more ferocious and happy: "Death is not terrible. What is terrible is that what you own is lost to a person." Taking things away one by one, you must be familiar with this kind of thing, after all, you have destroyed so many doors and broken down so many households, you are the veteran, dear Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Songling couldn't bear it any longer and shouted with all his teeth and claws: "I will fight with you..."
Chu Qing kicked Zhang Songling to the ground. The courtiers leaving the palace in the distance turned their heads and turned a blind eye. The guards in the distance turned a blind eye, and the eunuchs and maids coming and going turned a blind eye.
It's the most embarrassing thing in the world. The right minister of the Ministry of Rites was kicked in the palace, at the foot of the steps outside the political hall, but no one asked or even looked at him.
Chu Qing clasped his fingers, frowned, looking particularly embarrassed, and muttered to himself.
"Who should we kill first? Oh, by the way, let's kill your eldest lady first, that big octopus. I heard that she beat the servants in the mansion to death. Yes, check her first and then throw her into the prison of Jingzhao Mansion. inside."
"you dare!"
"Why don't I dare? Do you think the Yu family will protect her? No, no, no, the Yu family will not. They will even take the initiative to send the evidence of the crime to Qianqiying, break away from her, and finish your wife. I should Do it..."
After a pause, Chu Qing was really distressed this time, and then he yelled: "Zhang Songling, you have lived for sixty or seventy years, but except for your wife, there is no one who really cares about you or anyone you care about. How sad!”
The embarrassed Zhang Songling stood up and was about to speak when he was kicked to the ground by Chu Qing.
Chu Qing chuckled: "I'm just teasing you. I know you have three children and a grandson. I promise you that I will make arrangements for your whole family as soon as possible and reunite them neatly in prison."
