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 the 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: "Based on your understanding of the emperor and 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, this courtier, 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 change back to that person.
Immediately general, let the knife speak."
Chu Qing shook his head. This is 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 gets impatient.
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 knife. At that time, you say, the various aristocratic families, the various local officials, 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 there,
The emperor is not afraid of armed rebellion. If he dares to rebel with force, he will be killed and turned upside down. This principle is understood by the aristocratic families and court officials, 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 his father's position? Then, guess what, these sour scholars, these civil servants, these hypocrites who talk about their family and the world, and those aristocratic families will let
Who entered the capital and seized 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."
Now, do you understand the power of the Chang family?"
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 the people miserable, a tyrant who resorts to militarism, but this word "tyrant" does not belong to you.
I have the final say, but the family 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, no one else could
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 a big mistake. I, the king, wanted to be in our Chang family.
It seems that I am the one who lost, the one who saved the country, but it was the fourth child who lost, because he is the last one of the Chang family, I am!"
Huang Laosi curled his lips: "Go to hell with you, you 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 Battalion, but before the tenth brother entered the court, you dare to say that I am not the back-up man of our Chang family. You dare to say that you will be kicked.
When you come down, don't you rely on me to protect you and our Chang family?"
Huang Laosi said nothing and continued drinking with Chu Wensheng.
Chu Qing had a look of shock on his face and subconsciously looked at the Emperor. The 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... everyone in the world knows that they want to rebel, and they are shouting every day to replace the emperor with the emperor Chang Chengke!
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 wants to cut off his relationship with Bing Tao.
No wonder he took the initiative to give money to the border troops.
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 at all, 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 never been in power and was just an insignificant minister. With the ability of Qianqiying, 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 obviously fake at a glance. They looked like military talismans, but in reality they were fake.
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 his wine glass: "His Royal Highness, King Wu, let me toast you."
Chang Chengke laughed heartily 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 burst into laughter, and he looked so proud of himself.
