Changjing, Jingyi Hall.
Huang Laosi did not approve the memorial today. Instead, he played with the sword after going to court. He was sweating profusely and sat behind the desk with a stinky body.
Looking at the various memorials piled on the desk, Huang Laosi was unhappy again.
"Autumn requires money and grain, winter requires money and grain, spring requires money and grain, and summer also requires money and grain. The first word is money and grain, and the whole article is only about the word "money and grain." Aren't all the officials stupid? The crops are not harvested, the taxes are not collected, and there is a lack of harvest everywhere. , wine sacks and rice sacks, they are all wine sacks and rice sacks.”
The old eunuch glanced at Huang Laosi, who had become increasingly bad-tempered recently, as if he was hesitant to speak.
Huang Laosi cursed: "What are you looking at? You are also a loser."
"I know my crime." Sun An said nothing, kneeling on the ground, his movements were so smooth and skillful that it made people feel distressed.
"It's really just wine and rice bags. Why are you standing there in a daze? I'm sweating. Why don't you go get some water?"
Sun An ran out quickly.
As he ran, the old eunuch felt a secret bitterness in his mouth.
The fourth child is now a little moody and exerting himself. When we were outside, we had to wipe the sweat of the fourth child. However, I liked the feeling of sweating profusely. But when I entered the house, you had to wipe the sweat again. This is With whom?
After getting a basin and a sweat towel, the fourth child wiped his face, then lowered his head and smelled his armpits, with a look of disgust on his face.
You always have to face what you have to face. I wiped my sweat, drank tea, and sprayed Sun An to relieve my anger, but I still had to read the memorial.
I just opened the first book, and the fourth child was unhappy again.
"For Lao Shi, this money is as easy as picking something out of a bag. Why do others say it is difficult, difficult, so difficult, and even more difficult!"
The fourth child, who was in a bad mood, felt that it was pointless to find an old eunuch to take out his anger, so he cursed and asked: "Have you impeached the old eunuch recently? Any minister can do it, right?"
The old eunuch shook his head repeatedly: "Your Majesty, since Commander Chu left Beijing, Qianqi Camp has set up a report box. General Jiang has people guarding it every day. Not to mention the ministers, even the aristocratic families dare not talk about Chu in private. Commander."
"Report box?"
"Yes, it's just a wooden box. The people can report it. General Jiang said that the Chu Commander-in-Chief said before he left the capital that he was not in the capital. Qianqiying could not offend the courtiers and aristocratic families, but it could take care of the aristocratic families. The younger the younger the The better, if you catch a son of aristocratic family, you will be punished by death... you will be tortured to death. You will not beat the old ones, only the younger ones. Those who commit serious crimes will be punished to death. Those who commit misdemeanors will be punished severely. Those who are innocent will be punished. , to frame... to death?"
"What, you are framed for being innocent?" The fourth child's expression changed slightly: "This... this... this is wonderful!"
Sun An: "..."
The fourth child showed a pleased smile: "That's right, Thousand Cavalry Camp, the emperor's personal army, my personal army, whoever is not happy, just frame it, wonderful."
Sun An is silent every day.
He wanted to remind Laosi that Qianqiying, the emperor's personal soldier, seemed to be a person not displeased by you, Huang Laosi, but by Chu Qing.
Mentioning Chu Qing, Lao Si's mood gradually improved, and he asked habitually: "How long has Lao Ten been gone?"
Sun An was slightly startled and looked strange: "Fifty days?"
"Fart!" Huang Laosi scolded: "When I asked this morning, you still said forty-nine."
Sun An felt aggrieved and refused to give up.
That's right, you asked me this morning, and we said it was the forty-nine. You asked again, and we thought we remembered it wrong. You knew it, but you still asked?
Seeing that the fourth child was ready to vent his anger on him, Sun An quickly said: "Although no one has impeached Commander Chu, some aristocratic families are talking about him privately."
Huang Laosi was gearing up: "Who, who talked about him, and what did they say?"
"It is said that the commander-in-chief of Chu amassed money without any means. Before leaving the capital, he plundered 10 million yuan."
"Mother, how much?" Huang Laosi suddenly stood up, his expression changing.
"Ten...ten million." Sun An carefully explained: "It is said that Chu Qing extorted money from the family on the pretext that he would no longer make things difficult for them. As a result, after leaving the capital, Commander Chu did not make things difficult for them, but Qianqiying remained the same. Diao...still stares at the family."
"Damn Chu Qing!" Huang Laosi became angry without any warning: "How dare he act so recklessly."
The old eunuch was startled. He was so old just now, now he is dead?
Huang Laosi was really angry this time and actually kicked the desk over.
"In the bright world, at the feet of the Emperor, he dared to blatantly plunder so much money from a noble family, ten million yuan, which is shocking, shocking!"
Huang Laosi's chest was heaving: "Although I don't like aristocratic families, there are many loyal people in the aristocratic families in Beijing who helped me to win the great treasure. This Chu Qing is so bold as to secretly use thousands of horses to ride on his own. In the name of the commander of the battalion, he blackmailed a family worth tens of millions of dollars?!"
Sun An really didn't expect that Huang Laosi would actually get angry, and he could also see that Chu Qing seemed to have encountered Lao Si's reverse scale.
When Qian Qiying attacked aristocratic families before, he did not overwhelm them all with one stroke. As Lao Si said, many aristocratic families had experienced dragons. However, Chu Qing attacked indiscriminately and asked for money, which was a bit unjustifiable. , and the amount is really too big, 10 million yuan, let alone seeing it before, the fourth child has never burned so much money when he went to the imperial mausoleum to visit the grave.
"Sun An!"
"The old slave is here."
"I issued an order and sent it to the border troops after giving instructions. This Chu Qing is so bold and reckless. Relying on my holy favor, do you really think you can have nothing to worry about? You bastard!"
Sun An did not dare to hesitate and quickly asked the young eunuch at the door to get a second-hand imperial edict.
After a while, the young eunuch brought the tools. Sun An looked at Huang Laosi's face and said, "Your Majesty, how...how to write."
"How to write, you tell me how to write!" Huang Laosi shouted: "I thought that brother De Laoshi was more powerful than a tiger, and regarded him and Chengyan as my right-hand men, and I confided in him, but this Chu Qing, How...you actually let me down like this!"
Punching his fist on his thigh, Huang Laosi yelled: "Ten million guan, damn 10 million guan. Before leaving Beijing, you only gave me 50,000 guan. Just give me 50,000 guan. He It’s shameless. It’s only 50,000 guan. I was so happy that I couldn’t sleep for several nights. I would wake up smiling from my dreams. As a result...as a result...as a result, this bastard actually plundered 10 million guan. Sun An, tell me, is he a human or an animal? He has 10 million guan, so give me 50,000 guan, only 50,000 guan!"
Sun An's mouth opened wide. Even though he had followed Lao Si for so many years, he was still impressed by Lao Si's unfathomable bottom line.
But in an instant, Sun An realized it again.
Yes, the fourth child should be angry.
Because when Chu Qing gave Lao Si 400,000 yuan, he clearly remembered how happy Lao Si was at that time and said "Thank you, Brother Chu".
"Excuse me!" Huang Laosi shouted angrily: "A serious apology, a big apology, write it now."
Sun An swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Your Majesty, old slave, how do you write this?"
"Just write..."
Huang Laosi was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what he suddenly thought of. He frowned: "This bastard has always been soft-hearted rather than hard-lined, but I am the emperor, and I should let him know the emperor's majesty. Okay, I said ,you write."
"Old slave, I'll write it now."
"The commander of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion, the supervisor of the three military weapons, Chu Qing, a man from Si'an County, has bad moral conduct, is arrogant and rude, and repeatedly offends the emperor with words. This is a crime of great disrespect. The so-called ministers are those who share the worries of the emperor. I Since I came to the throne, I have been diligent in running the country, but I have only two sons. I did not hold the draft ceremony, which is really a regret in my heart. It is not that I want to waste people and money, but that the old man, the Supreme Emperor, has been urging me all day long. I have been a filial person since I was a child. , I don’t want to only add to the worries of this old guy, but I know that the internal treasury is empty, so I can do nothing. Chu Aiqing is a minister, sharing the worries for the king, as it should be, why don’t you give me money, and fulfill the wish of the great emperor, I am not a greedy person. , one million guan is enough. If it is not enough, I will order you to send someone to deliver the banknote. No, no, no, one million guan is enough. If the need is less than one million guan, I will return the remaining money. Dear dear, dear dear, you are my confidant. You know that I never lie. If I say I will pay you back, I will pay you back. No, no, no, five hundred thousand gold is enough, but it is not possible. Three hundred thousand gold, Three hundred thousand guan, at least 300,000 guan. The one-time price is 300,000 guan. It cannot be less. You have collected 10 million guan in the capital. You must know that when we were in Huachuan, you and I conspired on big things. He also said three to seven points, I am seven and you are three. This time it is only three hundred thousand guan, which is not too much. If you have money in the future, you will pay it back in full. 300,000 guan, it is settled. Thank you Brother Chu, I appreciate this. "
Sun An finished writing with a grin on his face. After writing the last word, he looked at the fourth child and was no longer able to complain.
Is this a warning? Is this an IOU?
"Three hundred thousand gu..." Huang Laosi hesitated and looked at the old eunuch: "Would you like to add that this boy is probably my tenth brother? If he is a brother... an extra 200,000 guan is not too much. ?”
The old eunuch was embarrassed to speak.
For what you wrote in the IOU, it would be great if Chu Qing could give you ten strings.
