Chu Qing did not return to the mansion, but went to the Hubu Yamen Office. He had to find someone to ask questions.
The lectures in the palace were held until Youshi, while the Hubu Yamen office was at Xushi. When Chu Qing arrived, the officials were still running errands.
Seeing Chu Qing coming back, the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs all greeted him with a smile.
Chu Qing was deeply afraid that someone would shout "Geneva pay back the money", so he cupped his hands perfunctorily and quickly ran into Qiu Wanshan's cell.
"Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days. Do you miss Brother Yu?" Qiu Wanshan stood up and went to get the teapot, and asked with a guarded face: "Isn't it borrowing money again?"
Chu Qing sighed helplessly after sitting down.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Qiu Wanshan was indeed very similar to him in some aspects. If someone suddenly came to his door, his first reaction would be that the other party wanted to borrow money.
"I'm not borrowing money, I just want to ask you something."
"Guide me?"
"Roughly the same."
Qiu Wanshan smiled slightly: "Things in the palace?"
"No." Chu Qing shook his head: "I met Li Lin when I left the palace."
"The second young master of the Li family?"
"Yes, there is also the scholar named Zhang Yun."
Qiu Wanshan pushed the teacup in front of Chu Qing: "What did I say to you?"
"Threatened me."
"Are you scared?"
"It's not that I'm afraid, but I can't figure it out. When I was in Jingzhao Mansion, I was framed by the jailer bribed by the Li family. After that, the men from the Qianqi Battalion went and killed the jailor Jiayi who framed me, and Li Xunnan of the Li family.
He took them away, including Hong Haishang's son Hong Gaozhi, and the Hong family also attached themselves to the Li family."
After a pause, Chu Qing continued: "Logically speaking, there are Hong Gaozhi, Jiayi, and Li Xunnan. There are these three key witnesses who know the inside story. According to Qianqiying's methods, even if the Li family or the Li family cannot be implicated,
Lin, at least Zhang Yun has to be bitten out, but the question is how can this guy still live so arrogantly to this day? It's because Qianqiying didn't ask anything..."
Looking at the expressionless Qiu Wanshan, Chu Qing felt a little guilty: "Or is it that someone suppressed the matter?"
"Jingzhao Mansion, hijacking the prison, and involving false accusations against court officials, is a big deal."
Chu Qing nodded hurriedly: "Yes, otherwise Qianqiying would not have intervened."
"Are you worried that His Majesty... suppressed the matter?"
Chu Qing shook his head like a rattle: "You said that."
In fact, Chu Qing really thought so.
Qianqiying is the emperor's personal army, Jingzhao Mansion may betray the Li family's favor, and even the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple will turn the big issue into a trivial matter. After all, the Li family's influence and energy are there.
But only Qianqiying does not need to give anyone face, and even the outside world does not know who is really in charge of Qianqiying.
It is worth mentioning that Qianqiying was nominally under the orders of Sun An, the emperor’s personal attendant, but in fact, the old eunuch had so much time to fawn around in the palace every day. The person who really controlled Qianqiying was a deputy commander.
, and who this deputy commander is, only a handful of people know his identity. No one knows whether he is a civil servant or a military commander, or even a man or a woman.
There are too many ministers in Qianqiying's investigation, so it is impossible for them to help the Li family hide the evidence. Since Qianqiying is not afraid of external pressure, there is only one possibility.
That's why Chu Qing returned to the Hubu Yamen Office in panic, wanting to ask Qiu Wanshan.
If it was as he suspected, it would be useless even to investigate the Li family. The Emperor would protect the Li family, and the Chu family would definitely be doomed.
"Forget it, I won't argue with you. In short, what I say is in your ears." Qiu Wanshan took a sip of tea and said calmly: "You are worried that the emperor will suppress the matter, so you are panicked.
"
Chu Qing rubbed his temples and said an inaudible "hmm".
Qiu Wanshan was happy and said for no reason: "It's really not a loss for me to make friends with you. From now on, I will stay away from the Li family."
Chu Qing was confused: "What do you mean?"
"If you didn't come to ask me, I have been thinking about whether to visit the Li Mansion in person these days. The Li family in the province misunderstood that I have a good personal relationship with you."
"You originally wanted to please the Li family, but you also said you would draw a line with the Li family..." Chu Qing became more and more confused as he listened: "The Li family is going to be finished?"
"good."
"But the emperor obviously suppressed this matter."
Qiu Wanshan smiled half-heartedly: "Who told you that the emperor suppressed this matter?"
"But Qianqiying doesn't care. Not to mention Li Lin, Zhang Yun is swaggering around the capital."
"Yes, the cases handled by Qianqi Camp have no beginning and no end. It is indeed possible that the world suppressed them, but there is another possibility."
"What's possible?"
"If you don't move, it will be over. If you move, it will be thunderous!"
Chu Qing's expression changed slightly: "You mean...the emperor is not satisfied with just arresting Zhang Yun, but...he wants to uproot the Li family?"
"I can't make a conclusion, but I know that the Li family will shed their skin even if they don't die."
Chu Qing still couldn't believe it: "Isn't the leader of the Li family Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs? Zuo Shilang's father is also a veteran of three dynasties. He just retired and returned to his hometown. The disciples of the Li family have old officials all over the world. The emperor just because of Chen Yan and me,
Are you really willing to go to war with the Li family?"
It's not that Chu Qing doesn't have "confidence" in himself and Chen Yan, but that he is too self-aware.
Chen Yan was from the sixth rank, and he was from the eighth rank. Just because of these two little people, the emperor would wield a butcher's knife against the Li family. It was impossible.
Although Chu Qing had read a lot of historical novels in his previous life, he only read them for fun and would not take them seriously.
Many emperors, or big men, saw their subordinates bullying ordinary people or minor characters, and became furious and killed them directly. This is entirely the author's imagination and imagination, or it can be said that the author lacks experience, no matter how accurate it is.
That means he has never been beaten up by society.
Who can hang out with the boss, but who is not serving the boss front and back?
Someone who is able to live with the emperor and hold a high position, is it really possible to get there by flattering him?
Of course it's impossible. Credit and hard work are all there, even a lot of credit.
So let me ask, the Li family, which has made a lot of contributions to the Chang Dynasty, just because they bullied two little people, the emperor wants to drive out the Li family and kill them all?
The reason why the little people are called little people is because no one cares. The higher the position, the less they care, whether it is the Li family or the emperor.
Unless there are too many little people, hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of them, all suffering, then "justice" will come forcibly.
If someone kills a close friend because of a small person, other people may praise him for his righteousness in killing relatives or for being able to distinguish between public and private matters, but privately they will definitely think not to hang out with such a boss.
The emperor is not an idiot and knows how to win people's hearts. How can he go to war against the Li family just because he has a small household, a prime minister, and a sixth-rank official?
Looking at Qiu Wanshan in confusion, Chu Qing always felt that the former's judgment was inaccurate.
"You, after all, are not transparent enough." Qiu Wanshan's face straightened: "The Li family did not bully you and Chen Yan."
"They also bullied others."
"The Li family, it is the new king who is being insulted!"
He was not called emperor or your majesty, but the new king.
Qiu Wanshan said seriously: "The style of the Li family is the style of the Supreme Emperor and even the previous emperors when they were still in power. But now, the person sitting on the dragon throne is a new king, whether he is the eighth-grade prime minister or the sixth-grade chief minister.
, even if you are a lowly official of the ninth rank, you are still an official of the imperial court, and this imperial court is the court of the new king!"
Chu Qing seemed to understand: "Does this mean that the Li family ordered the Emperor Ji?"
"what for?"
"Um...it's Ni Lin, yes, I'm fighting against the Emperor Ni Lin."
