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 him. 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 he 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 mountains and enter the Three Hidden Sects. See what he can do.
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. You can become a teacher as long as you can treat this girl."
"Don't worry, I'll find a way."
"besides…"
The fourth child hesitated for a moment, lowered his head again, 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 the fourth brother’s account… recorded in the account of the 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: "How about 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?"
"More or less. 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 envoys. This time I did a big job."
"Okay!" Huang Laosi stood up suddenly and hurriedly said to Sun An: "Quickly go and get the list of courtiers in the capital who are quite well-placed...who have complaints against 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 wants to. Don't you have complaints about my fourth child? Don't you fuck every day? Don't you have
Money? Aren't you very rich? Aren't you extremely 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 be seen from this that Lao Si is quite dissatisfied with this term 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 sharp, 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 do so openly due to one or other reasons.
Of course, if the cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey is done cooking, the bell will be called. This is what happens to 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 common people, their requirements are very low. Through hard work and hard work, they have always been able to 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 will be enough.
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, they don't really care 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 peaceful 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 a high degree of concentration of imperial power. However, a high concentration of imperial power 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 tit-for-tat opposition.
There were too many emperors in history who were pushed to the ground and rubbed by aristocratic families. They sang "skateboard shoes" while rubbing, 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 victor every time.
But if he wants to achieve this, the fourth child 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 people had set things up well, but the problem was that they were poor, so poor.
Later, Chu Qing showed up and said, face and money, you can only want one thing, choose one of the two, which one do you want?
The fourth child is also the emperor after all. 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 seemed to have discovered a new world. The tenth child ransacked the family and exterminated the clan 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, make this emperor for Sun An!"
"You old slave, you scared me!" Lao Si cursed: "Punishment..."
"The old slave will be punished 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 it will be deducted 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 this before. After being fined, he handed it over to the inner treasury within a time limit.
The fourth brother continued: "The eunuchs in the palace and outside the palace rely on their work in the palace. On weekdays, you think they can't do it without money. Let me tell 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. 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 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 are 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 not paid it into the inner treasury even once. 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 collect 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, as he was gathering here and there, the fourth child was... always working hard for himself?
