With the sound of dismissal, the civil and military officials left with different expressions.
The prince also left, leaving only three Goguryeo envoys kneeling there with miserable expressions.
The guards outside the palace came in and looked at him coldly.
Chu Qing waved his hand, and the guard turned and walked outside.
Looking at the three envoys, Chu Qing opened his mouth, turned around and shouted: "Come back."
A group of Praetorian guards are back.
With a laugh, Chu Qing walked out of the palace door cheerfully with his hands behind his back, as if he was mentally ill. He didn't know what he was thinking of.
He left the palace directly without going to Jingyi Hall to find the prince.
Instead, Qin Gang, Nangong Xi and others went to Jingyi Hall to discuss matters with the prince about Goguryeo.
Chu Qing's mood was like this, good and bad, coming and going as he said.
Humming a little tune, Chu Qing wanted to sing loudly.
The Dachang Dynasty needed such a prince!
Where can there be so much forgiveness and where can there be so much kindness.
Dignity comes from fighting. This is what the Chang Dynasty should look like, and this is the prince that the Chang Dynasty should have!
After returning to the government office, Chu Qing asked people to quickly release the news.
In the afternoon of that day, everyone in the capital knew that the Goguryeo envoy had come to the capital to discuss peace and marriage. Even if he was beaten and subdued, the queen could marry him. However, the prince was still dissatisfied. The domineering prince was confused. Since I was defeated, why didn’t I lower my ranking?
In Nanshi, teahouses, streets and alleys, everyone was discussing this matter.
After the people learned about it, they straightened their waists even more.
Goguryeo, what the hell is Goguryeo? It needs to be beaten, not dealt with!
Many Confucian scholars felt that the imperial court had gone too far. They even lowered their faces and admitted their mistakes in a low voice. They wanted to lower their status. Isn't this too overbearing and unreasonable?
We can't say who is right or wrong. We can only talk about the people. That's how the people are.
If the prince nods today, he agrees.
No one will say anything. The court is full of smart people. What they say and do must be right.
But if the prince is "overbearing" and the court is overbearing, the people will be happy, and they will like the overbearing country and the overbearing leader.
The people don't know what the truth is. They even think that the emperor and the prince don't need to be so smart. As long as they have backbone, courage, and courage, that's enough. If you say to fight, we people will follow you, because this is Our country.
Because the people are really tired of hearing about moderation, about being merciful and merciful.
The Chang Dynasty was too moderate. Everything had to be moderate and just right, not too much and not too little.
Chang Chao Tai had a place of mercy and spared people, but what about the Liang thieves, Ke Ying thieves, and the Fan people in Nanguan, did they have a place of mercy and spared people?
This is what the people in the capital think. It’s not that the people have lost their backbone and blood and bravery, but they are all looking at the court and the dignitaries. When the court has lost their backbone and blood and courage, they are also gone. They can’t even ask. I didn’t dare to ask. If I asked, I would tell you that you know nothing. Are national affairs as simple as you think?
Okay, it has nothing to do with me, so don’t let me get involved when you fight, rely on your grandma!
It had just fallen into the night and the weather was still a bit hot.
Chu Qing and Tao Ruolin, who was wearing a veil, walked aimlessly in Nanshi.
Chu Qing hadn't seen Tao Ruolin for a long time, and today Tao Changshan took the initiative to come to her door and asked Chu Qing to go shopping with her.
Fu San and Bi Hua followed behind.
Bihua, who has recently started to lose weight, has begun to see results, but it cannot be seen from the outside. Bihua feels that she has lost weight in her heart.
People who can practice Sanfu in winter and Sanfu in summer for more than ten years can't bear to skip one dinner.
Moreover, people who lose weight have bad tempers. Except for Tao Ruolin, even Qin An and Tao Yao can't control Bihua. They say they must eat and take away if they don't give it.
"Why did you rush to the government office today on a whim to find a husband?" Chu Qing asked with a playful smile: "Have you heard about the Goguryeo envoy?"
"I heard it, but I'm not looking for you because of this."
"Then why."
"I miss you and want you to accompany me." Tao Ruolin held Chu Qing's arm and smiled.
Chu Qing felt that it made no difference whether Tao Ruolin wore a veil or not.
Not many people in the capital knew Tao Ruolin, but they all knew her. When she saw a woman hugging her, she was blind and realized that she was the eldest daughter of the Tao family.
The two of them walked slowly, and somehow, the smile on Tao Ruolin's face disappeared.
Noticing that something was wrong with Tao Ruolin, Chu Qing couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
"Come with me for a walk, the house is so boring."
The Tao Mansion is quite boring. Tao Ruolin is used to living in the Tao Mansion.
But now Chu Qing has offended too many people, mainly Buddhist disciples.
The previous assassination of He Mowen by a Buddhist disciple has not yet been concluded. Although the possibility is very low, Chu Qing is still afraid that someone will jump over the wall, so he goes out by himself, with guards in the dark. There is Bihua beside Tao Ruolin, don't let anyone else No matter which bastard sets his sights on Tao Ruolin, no matter how powerful Bihua is, he is still just one person.
Out of concern, Chu Qing asked Tao Ruolin to live in Beijing instead of Tao's village.
"Chu Qing..."
Tao Ruolin let go of her arms and said quietly: "Earlier, that girl from Qingyang came to look for me."
Chu Qing sighed, already guessing what Qingyang wanted to do with Tao Ruolin.
"Don't pay attention to her. When she was in the palace, she sneaked out of the palace to have fun. Now she is wild and wants to go back..."
"It's not what you think."
Tao Ruolin interrupted softly: "It's not that Qingyang thinks Jingzhong is boring and wants to return to Donghai. He just told me that your cousin is not happy. He is not happy in Jingzhong. He is not as happy as he was in Donghai."
Chu Qing's expression changed slightly, and then he showed a dumbfounded expression: "Listening to her nonsense, there is nothing that makes you happy or unhappy."
"Um."
Tao Ruolin gave a slight "hmm", said nothing, and hugged Chu Qing's arm again.
After walking for a while, Tao Ruolin said she was tired and took Bihua back to Tao's Mansion, which was a little baffling.
After sending Tao Ruolin and Tao Ruolin back to the mansion, Chu Qing did not follow them. As they got farther and farther away from Tao's mansion, Chu Qing felt like there was a fire burning in his heart.
I don’t know why, but I suddenly feel unaccustomed to being in Jingzhong.
Not used to walking slowly.
I am not used to Nanshi being a scholar with his head lowered.
He was not used to the fact that the Qianqiying Yamen office was full of busy Tan Ma.
He is even more unaccustomed to always baring his teeth and making noises to scare the courtiers in the court.
Jingzhong is still the same Jingzhong, and there hasn't been much change, but Chu Qing always feels that the changes have made him uncomfortable and at a loss.
When he was at the border, he was riding a horse and galloping wildly. When he was closest to the Liang Pioneer Pioneer Army, it was only more than twenty miles away. At that time, he was thinking that he would not do anything when he returned to the capital, and he would be free and happy with his military exploits. lifetime.
After returning to the capital, he was angry again, angry with the Japanese thieves, and finally ran to the East China Sea.
Stepping on the deck, enduring the strong wind, breaking the giant wolf, and thinking again, I want to destroy the Japanese thieves, return to the capital, marry Tao Ruolin, live happily with my friends every day, and live a happy life.
But now that I'm back in the capital, there's no one missing, and everyone has their hair cut off, but I don't know why, no matter what, I can't be happy.
As for the title issue and the prince's identity, I couldn't care less. I just wanted to wait for my parents, my sister, my fourth son and the Supreme Emperor to take care of things properly when they came back, and get married.
Thinking of this, I can't help but think that even if I have a title and get married, I still have to live in Beijing.
A city that everyone yearns for, a cage that everyone wants to squeeze in. There are too many people, and the hearts are too complicated. What you yearn for and long for become a bondage, and the city also becomes a cage, a prison. It's the spirit, the heart, not the body.
"Third brother, do you like the capital?"
Fu San smiled and returned: "There's nothing I like or dislike. I can follow you wherever I go."
I can follow you wherever I go.
This sentence is very thought-provoking, especially the four words "It can go anywhere", which is enough to show that the third brother has seen the essence of the problem.
"Third brother, tell me, why do people live?"
"Anything is possible, as long as you are happy."
Chu Qing's eyes lit up, and cracks appeared in some things that should not be thought about in his heart but were slowly solidified.
"Then tell me, do we brothers have the right to pursue happiness?"
"You are Tianhuang noble, the commander of Qianqi Camp. You have done something that others cannot do in eight lifetimes. If you haven't, who can?"
Chu Qing laughed loudly and waved his arms: "Fuck you, uncle, let's go to the craftsman's courtyard first!"
The third brother also laughed and was very happy.
