After all, Fu San still didn't visit the Chenghubu Yamen Office, and followed the carriage back to the palace dejectedly.
Chu Qing did not ride in the carriage with the old eunuch, but sat in the official sedan of the Ministry of Revenue.
A day ago, Chu Qing must have been secretly having fun, laughing so hard that he couldn't close his legs.
If you want to hold your thigh, you have to hold someone with the word "emperor" in it.
The chancellor is great, but the problem is that this position is not lifelong. It is different for the prince. You are a prince when you are born, and you will be a prince after you die.
But after yesterday's incident, Chu Qing's mentality changed again.
He doesn't want to flatter him now, and it doesn't matter whether he is living a good life or not. He just wants to take over the Li family now, and take over the Li family through Xiao County's tax affairs. Only when the Li family falls, can the people of his Chu family sleep peacefully.
The two princes are just two little buddies. They have no real power and their status is noble enough, but they don't participate in the affairs of the court. Even if they behave like buddies, they still can't help him.
Another thing is that the second prince is okay and well-educated, but Chu Qing doesn't like the prince and always feels that this kid will definitely be a fool in the future.
While thinking wildly, everyone arrived outside the palace and the sedan chair dropped down.
After Chu Qing came out, he stretched his arms and legs. He was still not used to sitting in a sedan, which was like a mobile cage.
Sun An told the imperial guards to take Chu Qing to the East Palace and left.
In fact, originally the old eunuch should go to Chu Qing to recite the imperial edict after leaving the court, but last night Qianqiying got a confession from jailer A. This is not the first time that the Li family has done this kind of thing.
The old eunuch was deeply afraid that the Li family would attack Chu Qing again, so he went to read the imperial edict early in the morning.
For the Li family, it was not a big deal to appoint a small official in the household department, but to appoint an official in the East Palace was of another nature. It was an insurance for Chu Qing.
He was taken to the East Palace by the imperial guards and went straight to the Wenlou Yangyi Hall. Chu Qing opened the door and saw the two princes there, reading "The Doctrine of the Mean".
The prince was obviously pretending, shaking his head and showing an exaggerated expression, which was in sharp contrast to the prince Chang Yu who was really studying.
Chu Qing looked a little helpless.
He just asked the old eunuch how long he would teach his left and right disciples, and the old eunuch said that according to His Majesty's instructions, the time for teaching will be counted.
Hearing the footsteps, the two princes stood up and were about to salute when they saw it was Chu Qing.
"Is it you?" The prince's face was full of confusion: "Where is Old Man Tao."
Chu Qing saluted: "Your Highnesses, Your Majesty has ordered me to enter the palace and teach you arithmetic."
The two princes looked at each other, and Chang Xian smiled and said: "No wonder the Internal Affairs Supervisor came early in the morning and said he wanted to attend a lecture today. It turned out that he was going to teach arithmetic."
After finishing speaking, Changxian straightened his unicorn robe, bent down and saluted: "Changxian, I have met you, sir."
Chu Qing's eyebrows were smiling.
This child looked like he was destined to be an emperor, but it was a pity that he was born too late.
Compared to the second prince, the prince was like a dead child. He sat down on the stool, squinted his eyes and said, "Aren't you a storyteller? Why did my father ask you to teach Gu? Do you really know how to do arithmetic?"
"
"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."
"Forget it, who knows what my father means, tell me a story to relieve my boredom."
Chu Qing rolled his eyes fiercely.
I can give you a baby.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty asked me to teach you arithmetic, not to tell stories."
"I don't care, I want to hear that story about a princess and seven big men who were not ashamed."
"It's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and there's no such thing as shame."
"Yes, yes, that's it. Tell me quickly."
Chu Qing was even more certain that this kid would definitely be a fool in the future.
Too lazy to talk to Chang Yu, Chu Qing picked up the bamboo slips and pen on the desk, wrote from one to zero, and placed them in front of the prince.
With a "crash", the prince swept the bamboo slips to the ground and narrowed his eyes: "I told you, I want to hear a story."
Chu Qing shrugged: "Your Majesty said that you must learn arithmetic."
"I want to hear a story."
"Your Majesty wants you to learn arithmetic."
The second prince said softly: "Brother, father..."
"Shut up, what does it have to do with you!"
Chu Qing looked unhappy but said nothing.
He was thinking about one thing. Normally, if a child doesn't study well, a beating would be enough.
But this little kid has a special status and cannot be beaten. He can only go to his parents.
But the problem is, the emperor doesn't care about this matter, so don't punish the prince and give yourself a beating.
Chu Qing thought for a while and decided to let it go. Whether the prince would learn or not had nothing to do with him. There was no need for Fan to report it. The risk was too great.
Picking up the bamboo slips and placing them in front of Changxian, Chu Qing smiled and said, "Your Highness, the Second Prince, Arabic numerals, from one to zero, can I teach you?"
"Mr. Thank you, I haven't asked you your last name yet."
"Chu Qing, the Chu from Farewell My Concubine."
The second child, Changxian, blinked and didn't understand.
"It's the Chu who belongs to the Overlord of Western Chu."
The boss Chang Yu shouted: "You have the same surname as the rebel!"
Chu Qing didn't look down on him at all, and smiled at Lao Er: "Let's start learning."
"Okay, here's Mr. Laochu."
Chang Yu slapped the table: "How dare you ignore Gu."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty asked me to teach arithmetic. If you don't want to learn it, I can't pinch your neck and force you to learn it. Don't make things difficult for me either. I'm here to teach arithmetic. I can't just sit here.
"
Chang Yu frowned and said, "I don't like the tone and appearance of the words."
"What's the meaning?"
"You should be humble and humble." Looking at the second prince, Chang Yu snorted coldly: "You are not allowed to learn."
"Brother Imperial, this..."
Chu Qing sat down, stretched and yawned again, and looked out the window.
Chang Yu frowned: "What are you doing?"
Chu Qing shrugged without looking back: "Look at the scenery outside for a while, and then go to sleep."
"If you dare to sleep, my father will know and I will skin you!"
"No." Chu Qing turned around and laughed: "Your Highness doesn't want to learn from it, and he won't let the second prince learn from it. When your Majesty asks, I will just tell the truth."
Although Chu Qing said it with a smile, he carefully observed the expression on the prince's face.
Sure enough, there was a trace of hesitation on this kid's face.
Chu Qing continued to test: "I will tell your majesty that if the prince does not learn, he will not let the second prince learn."
The prince was anxious: "How dare you!"
Chu Qing's smile grew stronger: "If there's anything I dare not do, I can't lie to His Majesty."
"No, no, no, no." Chang Yu said in a slight panic: "You can't talk nonsense with your father."
"It turns out that His Highness also knows that you are fooling around."
Chu Qing took out his ears and laughed.
Prince, Tai is your sister!
I'm not afraid of offending you. Your Majesty is only over thirty. As long as you brew more wolfberry and drink it, you will be fine for another thirty years. You prince, let alone wait for thirty years. It will be good if you are not deposed within three years. Who can
Will be afraid of you!
Involuntarily, Chu Qing looked at the second prince Changxian who was smiling wryly, and had an idea.
Dad made a bet back then and bet on the referee who was sure to lose but not win. That's why now even cats and dogs dare to bully the Chu family. This young master cannot make such a low-level mistake.
Standing up and coming to the second prince, Chu Qing showed a friendly smile: "Your Highness, the second prince, do you want to go see Jin... No, do you want to learn some other fun things?"
Changxian shook his head: "Mr. Chu, my father said to learn arithmetic, so I will learn arithmetic."
Chu Qing nodded heavily.
Look, this kid looks like a real prince, not like some dead children.
"Boom" thunder came, and the sky changed again, with strong winds.
Chang Yu caught the wind and coughed twice.
Chu Qing looked sideways.
He is still a sick man, so he probably won't be able to be the prince for much longer.
