Although Jiang Yuesheng is not as smart as Mr. Qiu and Tao Ruolin, he has a very good trait, that is, he admits that others are smarter than him and is willing to listen to smart people.
Early the next morning, Qianqiying Tanma released news about the military report.
At the same time, the Tao family also began to have activities. Tao Yao always followed his daughter's words and began to trick Xu Shiqing.
Chu Qing had calculated everything, but in the end he still hadn't calculated this point.
When he wrote to Qiu Wanshan before, he didn't mention Xu Shiqing, but he asked the messenger to send a message to Mr. Qiu. Don't touch Xu Shiqing. No matter how Xu Shiqing finds friends to connect with him or impeach him, don't touch this old guy.
It's a pity that Tao Ruolin doesn't know this.
In any case, the news has spread completely, and some people are happy and some are sad.
The most worried person must be Qin Gang. Just after leaving the court, his confidants came in and said that people in the streets and alleys were talking about the border army's military report. Old Qin felt as if he had been struck by lightning and could not recover for a long time.
Now he no longer cares about how the news spreads, he only cares about how to keep Chu Qing, because he knows with his feet that someone is definitely going to cause trouble.
The one who is worried is Qin Gang, and the one who is happy is naturally the aristocratic family and some officials.
Even an expert like Qin Gang knew that the military report must be fake, and it was a complete fantasy, let alone other laymen.
I have to say here that Chu Qing is careless in his work.
Others write military reports, the causes and consequences, especially the process, are extremely detailed. Chu Qing is better. I killed several princes, robbed so much grain and grass, and how many herdsmen entered the customs. It is like a crappy financial report. It only writes the results and not the process.
Lao Qin was tired, as if his body had been hollowed out. He tremblingly took out the military newspaper from the cabinet and asked someone to take it to the palace. He should show it to the fourth brother first. The matter must be hidden. He couldn't do anything about it. there is none left.
The military report was finally sent to the palace and appeared on Huang Laosi's desk.
Huang Laosi looked at the military report with his eyes straightened.
Sun An stood aside and read the military report. His old face was as wrinkled as a Shar-Pei dog.
Neither the master nor the servant said a word. The fourth child was shocked and Sun An did not dare to speak easily.
The old eunuch looked at the fourth child and didn't know what the emperor was thinking. This matter was too big. It was obvious that he was risking his merits, and he was risking great achievements. He was risking countless great achievements. Isn't this looking for death?
Huang Laosi pondered for a long time and asked in a deep voice: "What do you think?"
"I don't dare to make any judgments, it's just, it's just..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that this matter has spread a lot in the outer court. Somehow, the military report that arrived yesterday was known to the outer court today. I heard from the eunuchs who went out to purchase it that it has spread among the people."
Huang Laosi frowned: "Has the news spread?"
"yes."
"Why…"
With a long sigh, Huang Laosi murmured: "This Lao Shi, come to think of it, is not my aunt's child."
Sun An's expression changed slightly.
He heard the implication. Now that the military report has been spread, it can no longer be concealed. The emperor also knows that Chu Qing cannot be protected. If Chu Qing's identity is disclosed, it will become a joke. The biggest joke of the royal family since the beginning of the dynasty. Members of the royal family Taking advantage of others, isn't it a joke?
"That's true. The more I think about it, the more I feel that Chu Qing's identity is suspicious. He doesn't look like his aunt's child."
Sun An didn't respond and was filled with emotion. The fourth child is still an emperor after all. A strong man can cut off his wrist without hesitation.
Huang Laosi sighed and added: "He must be the son of the Supreme Emperor."
"ah?"
Huang Laosi nodded heavily: "Yes, it must be so. With such shameless energy, if it is not the son of the Supreme Emperor, who else could it be? It must be like this."
Sun An: "..."
"Returning the damn formation to killing several princes and seizing the food and grass of 200,000 vanguard troops is nothing but a fart." Huang Laosi shouted angrily: "Just Chu Qing's face and military report are no different from the Supreme Emperor. Just like this old guy insists on saying that he is the two heroes of Zhongzhou, he is shameless and shameless to the extreme. The two heroes of Zhongzhou are clearly talking about me and Chu Wensheng!"
Sun An opened his mouth but did not dare to say a word.
According to what you said, Chu Qing might still be your son, it's up to you.
Huang Laosi can have no business, but Sun An, as the chief assistant of Dachang Dynasty, cannot and has no business.
"Your Majesty, if this matter is spread like wildfire, Commander Chu will definitely become the target of public criticism. The ministers and aristocratic families from other dynasties will definitely gather together to attack him. I am afraid that the ministers will attack him in the morning tomorrow morning."
"Not bad." Huang Laosi looked at the military newspaper, looked at the words "250,000 grain and grass" in the military newspaper, and kept shaking his head.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand, two hundred and fifty thousand...this..."
Sun An echoed: "Yes, even if it is food for 50,000 people, it will not become a handle."
"No, what I mean is that if Chu Qing doesn't give me 250,000 yuan, he can't ask me to suppress this matter."
Sun An was dumbfounded. He looked sideways at the frowning emperor, feeling more and more that the fourth son's bottom line was unfathomable. Is this a matter of how much money it costs?
"Your Majesty, this old servant feels that if you force this matter to be suppressed, I'm afraid those aristocratic families and officials will feel resentful."
"I know that, so I forcibly saved Chu Qing."
Sun An was completely confused: "Then ministers..."
Huang Laosi smiled slightly: "I will protect Chu Qing, and the ministers will feel resentful, so that's it."
"yes."
"But Chu Qing is safe and sound, right?"
"yes."
"Then I will let Chu Qing, who is safe and sound, take care of the ministers who are complaining, and we will end it."
Sun An was confused, where is this bug?
But then he thought about it, and Sun An suddenly wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Huang Laosi immediately.
This damn... is impeccable.
Chu Qing is the nemesis of an aristocratic family, and the officials are all from aristocratic families. As long as Chu Qing is protected, there is nothing wrong with complaining. Chu Qing will deal with you, and that will be it. It will be done until you have no complaints.
But if Chu Qing is given up in order to prevent the ministers from complaining, but the fundamental problem still cannot be solved, then if the ministers complain about other things in the future, who will deal with them?
Huang Laosi added happily: "The most important thing is that I also made 250,000 yuan in vain, hahahaha."
Sun An said nothing, he was sincerely convinced and bowed his head: "Your Majesty is wise."
The fourth child was very proud. He grabbed the military newspaper and walked to Zhaoyang Palace. It was obviously a big deal, but he was very happy.
After entering Zhaoyang Palace, the fourth child asked Sun An and Sun Ping to stay outside and woke up the sleeping emperor.
As usual, the Supreme Emperor slept on the floor instead of a bed, and there were also a few disheveled palace maids.
After the maids were kicked out, General Lao Si threw the newspaper in front of the Supreme Emperor who was rubbing his eyes.
There was no smile on Lao Si's face anymore, and he said seriously: "Old Ten is not a fool, nor is he a greedy person. What is his intention for such military retribution?"
The Supreme Emperor was confused and looked at the military report. Before he finished reading it, Huang Laosi spoke again and said in a deep voice: "If you command the army, how can you achieve what is stated in this military report? Is it possible?"
