Chu Qing gave a thumbs up, sincerely convinced.
He has never seen anyone more damaged than Qiu Wanshan.
Chu Qing thought about this matter for a long time and asked Qiu Wanshan to help him. This Minister of Rites will not last long, let alone help himself. No scholar can tolerate this Minister of Rites, even if he looks on coldly.
But if you don't help yourself, if you don't look on coldly, you can't help scholars.
This was where Chu Qing was in trouble, so he thought about asking Mr. Qiu.
As a result, Mr. Qiu either didn't get involved, or just messed around when he got involved.
Aren't you thinking about whether I can last long as the Minister of Rites? Well, Brother Qiu, I will quit immediately. Before I quit, I just happened to make a big fortune. After cheating the scholars, I will go back to the Ministry of Revenue to be the Minister. It's the same thing. thing.
Either that, Mr. Qiu's success is no accident, and he thinks about the problem from a very tricky angle.
Chu Qing patted his chest and said confidently: "There is no problem at all. As long as Uncle Wei goes down, with Dahuang and I... No, with my relationship with His Majesty and the Crown Prince, I must get Brother Qiu back to the Ministry of Household Affairs to continue working." Minister."
"There's no rush, even if you don't go back to the Ministry of Husbandry, it's fine. I heard that you are going to draft Chang's Law recently. It's okay for Brother Yu to go to the Ministry of Punishments. As a minister, it's okay to trick all the losers in the Ministry of Punishments."
Chu Qing: "..."
Even the third brother gave Chu Qing the same thumbs up.
There are very few people in this world that Third Brother can admire. They are all top people in the professional field, and Brother Qiu is the same. When it comes to cheating people, there is no one who can surpass him.
Officials are always sleeping around, but Mr. Qiu is always trying to trick people.
When Chu Qing deceives people, he does it directly.
When Mr. Qiu deceives people, he first sneaks into the enemy army, directly carries the banner among the enemy troops, and then leads the enemy troops to jump into the pit. When the enemy troops are almost done jumping, he retreats.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites used Mr. Qiu as their handler, but it turned out that Mr. Qiu used the Office of the Ministry of Rites as a flower boat, the kind that he could leave after sleeping.
After the matter was settled, Chu Qing left the Ministry of Rites with his third brother without disturbing Mr. Qiu's sleep.
There was no need to discuss how to handle the matter. Mr. Qiu made it very clear that it was not a big deal for Chu Qing to watch.
Next stop, the Ministry of Justice.
What Mr. Qiu just said is right. Chu Qing has a lot to do. He still needs to improve the Chang Law. Improving the Chang Law will definitely not bypass the Ministry of Punishment.
When we arrived at the Ministry of Justice's office, the situation was almost the same as before. The disciple was so scared that he trembled and ran in to report as if he had been reincarnated.
After a while, the person who came out to greet him was Minister Zuo, which was called respectful.
Zuo Shilang can be regarded as a high-ranking official in the court, but who doesn't know that Chu Qing specializes in high-ranking officials.
As soon as he heard that he was looking for Zhai Xiu, Zuo Shilang was not relieved, because Chu Qing usually hired a group of high-ranking officials, and the high-ranking officials he found first would leave a large area behind after he was done.
Zhai Xiu is the minister, so it is definitely impossible for him to come out to greet him in person. It is not shameful enough.
However, when he entered the main hall, Zhai Xiu, who looked upright, had already made tea. Outside the room, he kept his reputation as a minister, but inside, he was polite to Chu Qing and fulfilled his etiquette.
This kind of politeness is not due to Chu Qing's identity as a member of the Chang family, but to the things Chu Qing does. There are many things that Zhai Xiu wants to do but cannot do.
The two parties sat down and Chu Qing smiled and said: "Master Zhai, logically speaking..."
Zhai Xiu interrupted impatiently: "You are not a logical person. Stop being logical and just tell me what you have to do with me."
Chu Qing was not angry, but instead smiled: "Then let me tell you straight, Chang Lv still needs to be improved. Not only must it be improved, but some disadvantages must also be deleted."
"for example?"
"Whatever the scholars are guilty of, the common people can be punished. The scholars are exempted, but the common people can die. The scholars are just exiled. The common people punish nine tribes. The scholars only kill one person. This does not make sense."
Zhai Xiu's pupils narrowed: "You want to combine the scholars in this world with ordinary people..."
"That's right." Chu Qing said sternly: "In terms of law, scholars no longer have privileges, at least they should not enjoy such great privileges when they contribute to the country. Scholars cannot read a few books just because they have a good family background. He is supported by people all over the world as if he were his father."
Zhai Xiu stood up, took out a paper bag, placed it next to Chu Qing, and then returned to the desk.
"Meitan Cuiya, also called Bird's Tongue, is so named because its shape is small and resembles a bird's tongue. Its aroma is very unique and rich. The tender buds are used to bake excellent bud tea. It is produced in Meitan. In the Yuan Dynasty, the palace gave me this tea. Officer, Commander-in-Chief, if you take some back, it will be a worthwhile trip."
Chu Qing smiled bitterly: "I'm not here to ask for tea, and I'm not good at it."
"Then the commander-in-chief can only return empty-handed."
Chu Qing sat up straight and took out a jade pendant, eight-clawed and dragon-shaped, which he got from Chang Chengke who drank too much during the Chinese New Year.
"Then I want to use this. Can I talk to you about it?"
"Yes, in the court room."
Chu Qing took out the Qianqiying Commander's waist badge and slapped it on the table: "What about this? Have we discussed it in private?"
"Yes, let's talk about tea."
Chu Qing put the waist badge and jade pendant together: "What about this, can we talk about it?"
"Yes, let's talk about tea in the court room."
Chu Qing's nose was so angry that he said, "I will go to the court to talk to you about tea leaves and dried chicken feathers."
Zhai Xiu was also led astray and said angrily: "Commander Chu, don't force others to make things difficult. This matter is not a trivial matter. It is not a matter that I can decide with my words. The stakes are very important. Even today, the Commander-in-Chief of Chu has moved." Scholars all over the world will also suffer backlash.”
"I'm not asking you to agree, nor am I asking you to support me. Just discuss the matter as it stands."
Zhai Xiu showed no mercy at all: "It's inappropriate to discuss the matter as it is."
"Then just watch and watch."
"Standing on the sidelines is because of the power of the commander-in-chief."
"Then support me."
"That's because I had to stand up and say that it was inappropriate because of your power."
Chu Qing: "..."
Zhai Xiu became a little angry when he saw Chu Qing, and looked at the tea bag on the table: "You don't want the tea, do you?"
Chu Qing has discovered that this old guy Zhai Xiu is not a good guy. He must have done it on purpose. Who wants your shabby tea leaves?
"Okay, then when you get to the court, don't say that I don't give you face."
Zhai Xiu muttered: "I never gave it to me in the first place."
"No, why is your dignified Minister of Justice acting like a garrulous person?"
Zhai Xiu: "Don't you want the tea?"
"I…"
Chu Qing stood up, very angry: "I don't want to talk to him anymore, let's go."
The third brother suddenly said for no reason: "Master, I think you still have to do this."
"What to do?"
"Isn't there a vacancy in the Ministry of Justice?"
Chu Qing was stunned and didn't understand what the third brother meant.
Fu San deliberately lowered his voice, but the volume was just right for Zhai Xiu to hear.
"Just now, Master Qiu said that he could be the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. He asked Master Qiu to serve in the Ministry of Punishment directly."
With a "shua" sound, Zhai Xiu suddenly stood up: "I have been suffering from the world's scholars for a long time. How can you be so arrogant and domineering? You are a bastard. You are a bastard to the extreme. I, my criminal department, will take Commander Chu as the leader and take care of it." Deal with this scholar!"
"Damn." Chu Qing threw the eight-clawed jade pendant directly on the table, with a look of disgust on his face: "What a piece of crap, and Mr. Qiu doesn't have the reputation to use it. It's time to change the tea leaves. Take the tea away and send it to Mr. Qiu." , give the jade pendant to Lao Zhai to take home and play with it yourself."
The third brother grabbed the tea bag and walked away with Chu Qing.
Zhai Xiu looked at the eight-clawed jade pendant on the table, his eyes round and round.
What do you want me to do with this thing, rebel, or take the whole family to the execution ground?
