After describing the situation of Princess Qingyang in a few words, Chu Qing realized that Lao Si and the Supreme Emperor had already known about this girl's situation.
"Old Shi, you are determined."
The fourth brother had a look of distress on his face and sat on the steps: "Outside the palace, you and that crazy girl Tao Ruolin are with her. Fourth brother, I feel at ease."
Chu Qing sat aside, with a heavy heart. He pinched his eyebrows and said: "It's useless to find Taoist Yun. If Taoist Yun could cure it, he would have cured it at the beginning. As for the three hidden doors that Zhao Baodan said, Lord, he doesn’t know if it can be cured. The only thing he can do at the moment is let Qingyang become Baodan’s disciple. With the identity of a disciple of the Three Hidden Sects, he can enter the mountain and enter the Three Hidden Sects. See if he can We can't let He Jizhen's father diagnose and treat her."
"Try your best, you must try your best."
The fourth child said with great solemnity: "Qingyang, you are a good boy. You should not be so blessed. If you want to be a teacher, you can be a teacher. You can be a teacher of anyone, as long as you can diagnose and treat this girl."
"Don't worry, I'll find a way."
"besides…"
The fourth child hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and said softly: "If it really can't be cured, we must make this girl healthy and happy outside the palace. Give her whatever she wants. Just buy whatever she wants." , recorded in Fourth Brother’s account… recorded in the account of Fourth Brother’s chamberlain, Sun An.”
Chu Qing: "..."
Looking sideways at the fourth child angrily, Chu Qing said helplessly: "I understand, Tao Ruolin is with her, don't worry."
Speaking of Princess Qingyang, the fourth child no longer looked like his usual energetic and fierce self. He seemed to be worried and sighed heavily: "Go and speak to the Supreme Emperor. He will definitely agree. You and Ruolin are in the palace." The Emperor and I feel very at ease with Qingyang outside, but if you want to leave the government office on weekdays, don't take her with you."
"Why?"
The fourth child was too embarrassed to say anything. He felt that Chu Qing would have to be assassinated in the future, so as not to accidentally injure Qingyang.
Chu Qing didn't think much, and said with a smile: "Why don't you tell my uncle that it's okay? If I go to Zhaoyang Palace and drink again, I will have to go to court early tomorrow morning."
"Go to court?"
When the fourth child heard this, his expression changed, and he suddenly became energetic again: "But we want to impeach?"
"Absolutely. Originally, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Civil Affairs were investigating the capital, and with the assassins involved, I took the opportunity to kill a few civil servants who were usually gibbering, as well as the Ying envoy. This time I did a big job."
"Okay!" Huang Laosi stood up suddenly and said quickly to Sun An: "Quickly go and get the list of courtiers in the capital who are quite qualified...and have complaints about me and Qianqiying."
Chu Qing smiled.
This is also what he likes most about the fourth child. He doesn't hide it at all. If he doesn't like you, he will punish you if he says so. Don't you have complaints against my fourth child? Don't you scold me every day? Don't you have Money? Aren’t you very rich? Aren’t you very rich? Then I will punish you, tease you, fuck you, ravage you, raid your home, rob you of your money, rob you of your money, and rob you of your money.
However, it can also be seen from this that the fourth child is quite dissatisfied with this generation of courtiers. It is not only Chu Qing who wants to make a big change, but also the emperor.
Throughout the history of China, almost all the kings of the feudal dynasties had their favorites. These favored officials were often not literal. The emperor was particularly interested in him or something, just because he was quick and quick with his sword, so he regarded this favorite as his The sword is used to remove the ministers that the emperor wants to get rid of, but cannot get rid of them openly for one reason or another.
Of course, when the cunning rabbit is done cooking and the lackey is comfortable, the bell will be called. This is the end for favorite ministers.
In fact, Chu Qing is also involved, but the fourth child is not only a very loyal emperor, but also a very particular fourth brother. He will always protect Chu Qing, especially because the two share the same goals.
The prosperous age has different interpretations in the eyes of different classes.
For the people, their requirements are very low. Through diligent work and hard work, they can earn a stable life, with no worries about food and clothing, and no danger of war. If taxes can be reduced and corvees can be reduced, this is already possible. It can be called a prosperous age.
For many scholars, living in a rich life and playing music every night can be considered a prosperous age. The most important thing is to have Confucianism in power. In a qualified prosperous age, Confucian scholars must be the most respected and enjoy the most privileges. This is considered a prosperous age. The world is prosperous.
For the aristocratic family, it doesn't matter whether they are prosperous or not. They would rather have a world where war is raging but they can control the current situation, than a world where singing and dancing are prosperous but they have no say.
For the emperor, the so-called prosperous age couldn't be more simple than three words: long-term peace and stability!
If you want to achieve long-term peace and stability, you need to have a high degree of concentration of imperial power. However, if the imperial power is highly concentrated, it will offend the interests of many people. Therefore, the aristocratic family and the imperial power may seem to be in harmony, but in fact they are in subtle opposition.
There were too many emperors in history who were pushed to the ground and rubbed by aristocratic families, singing skateboard shoes while rubbing them, and there were also emperors who were ridden on their heads by aristocratic families and played with bulls, waving their hands while playing.
Chu Qing, as for Chu Qing, was the vanguard in overthrowing the aristocratic family camp and tearing apart the young masters of the aristocratic family. On this point, he coincided with Huang Laosi. What was even more rare was that the fourth lao could win without hesitation. As an arbitrator, " Just count the money", he just needs to make sure that Chu Qing is the winner every time.
But if he wants to do this, it’s not that the fourth child didn’t pay, he has to throw his face away.
At first, Lao Si refused. After all, he carried out a purge of the court as soon as he came to the throne. In order to prevent the world from thinking that he was a tyrant, he immediately created an image of a generous and benevolent person.
But later Lao Si discovered that the people's establishment was good, but the problem was that they were poor, so poor.
Later, Chu Qing showed up and said, face or money, you can only want one thing, choose one of the two, which one do you want?
After all, the fourth child is also the emperor. He is a person who is completely divorced from high-level tastes. How can he not care about face, so he chose money.
As soon as he was shameless, the fourth child felt like he had discovered a new world. The tenth child ransacked his family and exterminated his family outside, and he was counting money in the palace. Although most of it was used by Chu Qing to "squander the family" and was used for official purposes. For the people, this can be regarded as a long-term investment. When the people are rich, his country will also be rich. When the country is rich, he, the emperor, can also be satisfied both materially and spiritually.
The roster was delivered, and it was indeed in line with Huang Laosi's usual style. There were more than twenty names, all from aristocratic families, some were courtiers, some were officials in the capital, and they all had one thing in common, they were rich.
"Fourth brother, let's go back to the same code. Just having money is not enough. We can't do it for no reason..."
"Hey!" The fourth brother was unhappy: "What are you talking about? Do you think I, Fourth Brother, ransacked my house just for the sake of confiscation? Do you think the ministers and officials on this list are innocent?"
Chu Qing flipped through it for a long time: "I didn't write any evidence of guilt."
"Do you still need to write evidence of guilt?" Lao Si said with contempt on his face: "From the ninth rank to the fourth rank in the capital, 619 people were all brought to the Zhengyang Gate to separate the corpses. Ten upright officials could be picked out, and four Brother, I will make this emperor for Sun An!"
"You old slave, you scared me!" Lao Si cursed: "Punishment..."
"I will punish the old slave with one year's salary."
"Guess wrong, add another year!"
Sun An: "..."
Chu Qing was finally convinced, and even he couldn't stand it anymore: "I'm not telling you, but you can't punish Eunuch Sun alone, and you'll be detained for decades. Isn't it interesting?"
Sun An raised his head. He couldn't figure it out. He was catching a toad and pinching it to urinate.
The fourth child laughed happily: "It's true that the deduction will be made decades later, but do you know that Sun An will hand over as much as I deduct."
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the salary deduction did not mean that wages would not be paid, but that it was similar to a fine.
Father Chu Wensheng has experienced it before. After being fined, he handed it over to the inner treasury within a time limit.
The fourth brother continued: "The eunuchs in and outside the palace rely on their work in the palace. On weekdays, you think that they can't do it without money. The fourth brother tells you this, even if the imperial kitchen is buying melons and fruits outside the palace, The eunuchs of Lvcai can get at least seven, eight or even dozens of guans every month."
"What's the meaning?"
"Officials and ministers outside the palace, who don't want to know what I think and do every day, but they can't enter the palace, so they have to start with these eunuchs."
Chu Qing suddenly realized, but asked in confusion: "You don't think that Eunuch Sun also accepted money, do you? It's impossible. When I first entered the palace, I tried to ask my third brother to give Eunuch Sun money, and Eunuch Sun became anxious. , I almost beat Fu San, Eunuch Sun is definitely not such a person."
Sun An almost cried.
They are both brothers, but the gap is too big. Look at my tenth brother, and then look at your fourth brother. What the hell is this?
But then I thought about it, and Sun An couldn't remember it. When was Fu San going to give him money?
"I know what Sun An is like, fourth brother." The fourth brother laughed: "He doesn't accept money from outside the palace, but he can accept money from the eunuchs in the palace."
Chu Qing finally understood. Apart from giving a thumbs up, he really didn't know what to say.
The fourth child knew that the eunuchs were collecting money outside the palace, and he had no way to stop it, nor did he want to stop it, so he specially harvested wool from Sun An, while Sun An harvested wool from other eunuchs.
The fourth child only needs to be a villain in front of Sun An, but Sun An has to be a villain in front of hundreds of people. The fourth child has grown up in his mind.
"What you're doing is like a pyramid scheme." Chu Qing thought of another thing: "Then what do you mean you keep deducting Jiang Yuesheng's salary recently? He also takes the money?"
"I'm not even angry if you don't mention him. It's so fucking unlucky." The fourth child cursed and said, "This has deducted four years of salary. He has never paid it into the inner treasury. Is it possible that you usually Why don't you reward him with some money?"
"No, why should I reward him with money?"
This time it was the fourth child's turn to suddenly realize it, and grinned: "I told you earlier, no wonder, his salary will not be deducted from now on, he is a fucking poor guy."
Chu Qing: "..."
After thinking about it, Chu Qing suddenly realized something.
The fourth child wanted to gather Jiang Yuesheng's wool, and he thought he would give Jiang Yuesheng a lot of money if he had nothing to do. In other words, the fourth child was... keeping on trying to get rid of him?
