In fact, many courtiers have discovered one thing recently. Qiu Wanshan's presence in the court is getting stronger and stronger, and most of them are related to Qianqi Camp.
You must know that although Qiu Wanshan was the right servant in the past, he made friends with everyone and smiled at everyone, giving people a very flattering feeling.
For example, before the Li family fell, Li Wenli, a left servant, could call Qiu Wanshan around.
But unknowingly, Qiu Wanshan felt as if his body had been taken away from him. Whenever it came to Qianqi Camp, he would definitely jump out, and as soon as he jumped out, he would kill with one knife. He drew the knife, put it away, and returned to the squad. .
There is always a reason for people to change suddenly.
The same is true for Lao Qiu.
What outsiders didn't know, not even Chu Qing, was that beneath Qiu Wanshan's flattering surface, there was a heart that was as gray as ashes.
Although Qiu Wanshan came from the Qiu family in Qinghe, he was the son of an unpopular concubine and a concubine. When he was young, Qiu Wanshan also had ambitions and ideals, but the Qiu family never appreciated him. In the end, he resolutely defected to his daughter-in-law's family. That is, the Shang family.
This kind of defection was almost an intrusion into the door. Originally, Qiu Wanshan thought that the Shang family could protect him. In fact, the Shang family did protect him. However, the Shang family had a request to send Qiu Wanshan's biological sister to the palace.
You must know that in the Qiu family and the Shang family, the only person Qiu Wanshan cares about is his sister. Since childhood, this brother and sister, who were not popular in the master's family, have been dependent on each other and have experienced countless hardships.
Qiu Wanshan naturally disagreed, but he didn't expect that his sister entered the palace and became a talented person without Qiu Wanshan's knowledge.
As a brother, he doesn't want to sacrifice his sister's happiness, even if he breaks up with his backer.
But the younger sister is willing to take the initiative to enter the palace to protect her brother's success.
After that, Qiu Wanshan was heartbroken and blamed himself, but he never showed it. It was because of his sister that he was promoted to the right minister of household affairs, but he had already despaired of "reality".
Some people are desperate and will give up on themselves, no longer working for anyone or themselves.
Qiu Wanshan did not, he just chose to lie down, work for anyone, and not offend anyone. He just wanted to live peacefully until he was old and returned to his hometown. In this life, that was it, protecting the most important things to him. If you don’t live there, there’s nothing else worth paying attention to.
Until Chu Qing appeared, Chu Qing, like him, hid many things in his heart. He said he didn't care about anything, but in his heart, he cared. When he encountered many difficulties and obstacles, he gritted his teeth and was willing to give. Protect everything.
This is the reason why Qiu Wanshan "returned" to the court and even fell out with many powerful courtiers.
Back then, no one helped Qiu Wanshan to protect the things he cared about.
Qiu Wanshan recalled himself in Chu Qing's body.
Back then, no one helped him, and no one cared about his feelings. The so-called family affection and friendship he talked about were considered a joke, and interests were eternal.
Chu Qing, just like him back then, wanted to protect family and friendship, so Qiu Wanshan stepped forward.
No one helped Qiu Wanshan before, but Qiu Wanshan knew that he could help Chu Qing. Chu Qing might be able to do what he failed to do back then.
A wolf will always be a wolf, even if he pretends to be a husky every day, even if he lies down, even if his life is hopeless, when one day he no longer wants to pretend to be a husky, he will still be a wolf.
This is Qiu Wanshan, the right minister of the Ministry of Finance. He has the face of a husky. When he bares his fangs, he looks like a bloodthirsty wolf in the court.
After being insulted by Qiu Wanshan in an understatement, Cao Wu, the dignified minister, shed a cold sweat and hurriedly explained, looking at the emperor on the dragon throne.
Everyone knew that Cao Wu didn't mean this, and the emperor also knew it.
But when Qiu Wanshan said it, the meaning was already obvious.
That's not what you meant, yes, but if you continue to pester Chu Qing, I, Qiu Wanshan, will continue to talk about this topic, so you must mean that.
You must know that this is the palace of political affairs, where the emperor and his ministers are all present. Even if you say the wrong word, you may fall into a place of eternal disaster.
Cao Wu was not stupid, but he had been too impatient and lost his sense of control when losing troops recently. His face was full of embarrassment, and he retreated to the class in shame and anger.
Cao Wu retreated, but Zhai Xiu didn't want to let Chu Qing go.
"Deputy Commander Chu, your Qianqi camp is the emperor's personal army. It is responsible for detecting lawlessness, investigating chaos, and arresting and imprisoning this merchant... Even if he conceals his tax return, he is just violating the Chang's law on mutual business. Why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?"
Zhai Xiu smiled slightly and continued: "If Qianqiying has to govern even the mutual business affairs, then our Ministry of Punishment and Jingzhao Mansion, which are all state capitals in the world, will become decorations."
The so-called articles on mutual business are actually a scope of Changlu, targeting merchants.
Not to mention, in Chang's Law, there is no crime of confiscating houses and exterminating merchants, not even beheading. The punishment method is very simple and crude. If it is true or false, you will pay ten for every one. It can be summed up in a few words. The grains are not available. If the fruits are not grown, there will be no porridge in the market; if the trees are not cut down, there will be no porridge in the market; if the animals, fish and turtles are not saturated with sand, there will be no porridge in the market.
This means that you are not allowed to sell food that has not fully grown or matured fruits. You are not allowed to sell trees that have not fully grown or been properly felled or repaired. There are also fish in the pond, eels that dare to dig in anywhere. Ah, as well as tortoises and the like, they cannot be sold without being processed and impurities removed.
If you sell it, if you sell it for one penny, you will be compensated for ten pence, if you sell it for ten thousand guan, you will be compensated for 100,000 guan. There is no rule that if the money is more or less, you will be killed or your house will be ransacked.
So when it comes to businessmen's affairs in central Beijing, they are usually under the control of the Jingzhao Prefecture. If it changes to other bureaus, it can also be handled by the state governments. If there is a big problem, such as smuggling of salt and iron, it will be overwhelming. The Ministry of Punishment is responsible.
The Qianqiying's duty is to monitor courtiers and various officials. It has great power and wide jurisdiction, but it only investigates major and important cases.
So according to Zhai Xiu's words, your Qianqi Camp is obviously here to catch rebels, so it's nothing to have trouble with a group of merchants every day.
In future generations, it will be like the FBI running around the night market all day long to catch vendors selling burritos. Isn't that sick? Besides, you have the FBI doing it. What do the American urban management do? Study and kneel down.
This was Chaobian. Everyone, including Huang Laosi, looked at Chu Qing.
The so-called court debate is not to argue, but to calmly reason and see who is right.
There are winners and losers in court debate, but the meaning is far-reaching, related to fame and prestige.
Chu Qing didn't defend Zhai Xiu today, so maybe it didn't matter. A few days later, he was silenced by other courtiers. After a while, it was still the same. After several times, this man lost his reputation and majesty. , if there is anything else, the emperor will not ask him, and the courtiers are too lazy to criticize him. When this person is mentioned, everyone will say that this guy is nothing, can't explain, has no ability, and can't get things done.
This was the first time Chu Qing had competed with someone in the court. Facing Zhai Xiu's difficulties, he looked calm.
Qiu Wanshan was about to leave work again, but it was Wei Changfeng's turn to hold him back.
Lao Wei whispered: "Always protected by you, how can the young eagle fly to the nine heavens."
Qiu Wanshan nodded slightly. For the first time in a long time, he showed a nervous look in the court. Like an old father waiting for his son to take the college entrance examination, he clenched his fists and felt uneasy.
