Chang Chengke poured another glass of wine for Chu Qing and asked with a smile: "You are very curious about why the emperor and the emperor don't kill me, right?"
"No, I know that uncle told fourth brother that if you don't use a sword, no one can touch you, because uncle cares about family ties, and so does fourth brother."
"Yes and no."
"Then what does this non-yes mean?"
"Let me ask you, when the emperor first came to the throne, did this Chang Dynasty look like it would be subjugated?"
Chu Qing's expression changed slightly, and he glanced at Lao Si and the Supreme Emperor. The father and son still needed to eat and drink. They were already chatting with Chu Wensheng about interesting things in the army, as if they hadn't heard anything.
"You are a smart man. You know whether you have it or not." Chang Chengke continued to ask: "With your understanding of the emperor, and your understanding of the emperor who is decisive and decisive in the battle, how can he be so generous and kind?" How long can the image of a wise king be kept on?"
Chu Qing frowned: "What do you mean?"
"If you hadn't appeared, would this family, the courtiers, and the emperor really tolerate them? Tolerance is just an illusion. If you tolerate it for one year, if you tolerate it for two years, sooner or later the emperor will fall out and turn back to that person. Immediately General, let the knife speak."
Chu Qing shook his head. It was true. If he hadn't appeared, according to the temper of the fourth child, he would never have been able to bear it for long. It might have been Huairou at first, but as time went on, he would find that the family was doing something secretly. One set, in the end, the fourth child will perform a full martial arts show if he is anxious.
Chang Chengke clinked glasses with Chu Qing and said faintly: "When the emperor can't stand these courtiers and aristocratic families, he will raise his butcher's knife. At that time, you say, the aristocratic families of various tracts, the local officials of various tracts, the wealthy families , how to do it.”
Chu Qing's expression changed slightly, but he still said nothing.
"Don't dare to say?"
"Don't go so far as to sow discord."
"If you don't say, well, let me tell you that by then, these aristocratic families and courtiers will definitely rebel. But this rebellion can also be divided into military rebellion and civil rebellion. If it is a military rebellion, Qin Gang is there, and the Supreme Emperor is here, The emperor is not afraid of armed rebellion. If he dares to rebel, he will be killed and turned upside down. The aristocratic families and court officials all understand this, so what they want to do is to rebel and force the emperor to abdicate."
Chu Qing did not look at Huang Laosi this time, but nodded subconsciously.
Chang Chengke smiled slightly: "But the prince is young. If he is allowed to ascend the throne, he will definitely become the puppet of the ministers. I am afraid that in a few years, he will be completely ignored. This country will no longer have the surname Chang, let alone Not to mention, it is difficult for the prince to ascend the throne. How can the prince take away the position of his father? Then, guess what, these slanderous scholars, these civil servants, these hypocrites who talk about their family and the world, and those aristocratic families will let him. Who entered the capital and took the throne of emperor?"
"you!"
"Yes, I am the king. I am known as the wise king."
Chang Chengke sighed slightly, with an extremely inexplicable bitterness on his face: "This is the meaning of my life. At least, this country can still be named Chang. At least, no matter how dilapidated this country is, it can still be ours." Do you understand the power of the Chang family now?"
Chu Qing's face was full of doubts: "Does this mean that if the Chang Dynasty is prosperous, you will never rebel?"
"Why do you want to rebel? What do you mean by rebelling?" Chang Chengke smiled proudly: "The person I want to rebel against is a tyrant, a tyrant who makes life miserable for the people, a tyrant who resorts to violence, but this word tyrant does not belong to you. I have the final say, it’s the family that has the final say, and I, the king, am not rebelling, but…”
Glancing at Huang Laosi, who was having a drink with Chu Wensheng, Chang Chengke had a look of helplessness on his face: "I fought with Laosi back then because I knew that he, the emperor, would not last long, except for me. Brother, I couldn't do it, but in the end, I still let this old guy, the Supreme Emperor, choose the fourth child. Do you think I was really driven away back then? Wrong, it's really wrong. I, the king, wanted to be in our Chang family. The back-up man, the back-up man who protects the country, seems to be the king who loses, but the loser is the fourth child, because he is the last back-up man of the Chang family, I am!"
Huang Laosi curled his lips and said: "Fuck you, you will become a king and lose a bandit. You can change your name to Changcheng bandit from now on."
"Ha!" Chang Chengke snorted coldly.
"What the hell are you doing? I have Chu Qing. Do you dare to act rashly? Kill them, ransack their homes, and rob their money. Who needs you?"
Chang Chengke sneered and said: "I don't deny the reputation of the tenth brother as the commander-in-chief of the Thousand Cavalry Camp, but before the tenth brother entered the court, you dared to say that I was not the back-up man of our Chang family. You dared to say that you were kicked. When you come down, don't you rely on me to protect you and our Chang family?"
Huang Laosi fell silent and continued drinking with Chu Wensheng.
Chu Qing looked shocked and subconsciously looked at the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor still turned a deaf ear and drank with his father.
The so-called anti-king... turns out to be a back-up move!
If the aristocratic family is dissatisfied with the emperor and wants to change the emperor, then who should be replaced? Of course...it is Chang Chengke, the wise king of Weijiang, who everyone in the world knows that he wants to rebel, and who wants to replace the emperor every day!
Chang Chengke, on the other hand, never thought of rebelling. Rather than rebelling, it was better to say that he was a back-up, and one was a back-up to protect the Chang family!
At this moment, everything was figured out.
No wonder Chang Chengke dared to take the initiative to enter Beijing.
No wonder he had to cut off his relationship with Bing Tao.
No wonder he took the initiative to give money to the border army.
No wonder he drove out most of the aristocratic families in the fiefdom, but kept making good friends with the aristocratic families and courtiers in the capital.
Many confusions have been solved.
Let's just talk about the Li family. The Li family raised so many dead soldiers in the mountains and forests of Xiao County, but they couldn't find any direct connection with King Wu.
On the contrary, it was Chen Yan who was able to find out the locations and details of those villages so quickly. It was not the detectives who found out the location and details of the villages so quickly, but Zhang Yun, a close confidant of the King of Wu, who had someone reveal them to Qianqiying.
Zhang Yun's whereabouts have always been unknown. At that time, he, Chu Qing, had not taken the position at all, and was just an insignificant minister. With Qianqiying's ability, how could he not catch a fugitive? It was obvious that Chen Yan let Zhang Yun go on purpose, and Zhang Yun also didn't know Chen Yan's identity.
In addition, the fourth child knew that Chang Chengke managed the fiefdom in an orderly manner, but he never asked about it.
No wonder, Wu Wang Tiantian and Huang Laosi are both old and young. It turns out that this guy has never thought about raising a flag to rebel on his own. The so-called rebellion is just to create an illusion for the aristocratic families. What he said The purpose of rebellion is to clean up the mess left by the fourth child in the future!
At this moment, Chu Wensheng, who was drinking with Huang Laosi, suddenly turned his head and looked at Chang Chengke with a frown.
"When I went to Weijiang, His Majesty gave me two imitation military talismans. They were extremely crude. They were said to be able to mobilize two trustworthy Zhechong Mansion troops. These military talismans were immediately obvious to be fake. They looked like military talismans, but in reality they were fake. Above, it’s a token…”
Chang Chengke laughed: "Yes, I gave it to the emperor."
Chu Wensheng remained silent and continued drinking with the fourth child.
Looking at Chang Chengke, Chu Qing felt mixed emotions in his heart.
The so-called anti-king, it turns out...
"Come." Chu Qing suddenly smiled bitterly and raised the wine glass: "His Royal Highness, King Wu, let me toast you."
Chang Chengke laughed loudly and drank the wine in one gulp, his chubby face glowing red.
Chu Qing suddenly realized that he didn't seem to hate this well-known rebel king anymore.
Qingyang tilted his head and looked at Chang Chengke, giggling and saying: "I know that dad is not a rebel. You have always been timid. No matter how you dare to rebel, you will not be able to defeat His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor."
Chang Chengke: “…”
"I can break both of his dog legs!" Huang Laosi laughed loudly, and he was so proud of himself.
