For three consecutive days, Chu Qing ate and slept in the prison, and even gained two kilograms after sleeping and eating.
While he was in the prison, he didn't know that he had unlocked a new posture for the emperor because of what he said unintentionally.
Outside the palace and in the capital, rumors spread everywhere.
First, the Jingzhao Prefecture received a complaint, and several people in Xiao County sued the county government, Li Mu, for sucking the bones and blood of the people.
The people's lawsuit against the officials really caused quite a stir.
Then some nameless people had a dream, saying that they saw divine thunder falling from the sky and striking Xiao County.
It was passed down from one person to another, and the common people became masters of dream interpretation in their spare time.
Then there were rumors that the cliffs on the south side of Xiao County were full of withered bones, the bones of common people.
Finally, I don't know where the source came from. It was said that the Li family was full of treacherous officials. God couldn't stand it anymore, so he sent down natural disasters one after another to warn the world and the emperor.
In fact, this kind of guiding public opinion has always been an area that aristocratic families and scholars are good at.
Everything has advantages and disadvantages. The so-called divine connection between heaven and man and the divine right of kings undoubtedly maintain the status of the ruler to a certain extent, but from another perspective, it is also a constraint.
You are the emperor, it is arranged by God, everyone must be convinced.
But one day, everyone felt that you, the emperor, were not particular and did not give us enough benefits, so we started to use this rhetoric to solve problems, such as natural disasters.
Huang Laosi counted up, including him and the Supreme Emperor, there were two generations in total, and the eight dragons won the throne twice. Neither of them got the throne seriously, so the profession of emperor did not start from their birth.
I started to prepare for this career, and I never systematically learned how to be an emperor since I was a child.
Therefore, even if Huang Laosi is a man of literary and military skills, he still needs a process of adaptation, a process of continuous learning, from being young to being mature.
The Emperor's first battle with the Eight Dragons to seize the legitimate son, although it was not said that the war broke out and the people were in dire straits, it did destabilize the people of the country and the dynasty.
When Huang Laosi arrived, there was another incident of eight dragons seizing the legitimate sons, a purge of the court, a change of officials in various circles, and the treasury was also empty.
Although Guo Zuo has been in power for a long time, everyone has to admit that Dachang has gone downhill.
It was under such circumstances that Huang Laosi ascended the throne, and it is not an exaggeration to say that everything is waiting for prosperity.
All kinds of things, all kinds of thorns, all kinds of troubles, Huang Laosi has too many things to adapt to and learn.
Emperor is a profession, but the starting point is different.
Some people immediately win at the starting line as soon as they become emperor.
Some people immediately die at the starting line as soon as they become emperor.
Huang Laosi is neither a good person nor a low person. I would say he is poor, but not by much.
The Chang Dynasty was the only Han dynasty in the land of Zhongzhou. Although some small barbarian countries around them tried to commit suicide every now and then, they could not move the muscles of the Chang Dynasty.
But let's be honest, it's not much better. The treasury is empty, there are many aristocratic families, corrupt officials are rampant, and the court is full of people, at least most of them.
In short, it was such a mess. Huang Laosi didn't take over it, but snatched it away.
Huang Laosi was already deeply bored after hearing all the loyal words, good advice, advice, and meaningless nonsense from his ministers.
However, Chu Qingneng proposed a solution that was not the "right way" in a joking tone, but was adopted by Huang Laosi.
Folk "public opinion" makes him very angry, but using this "public opinion" to deal with people he dislikes is a manifestation of maturity and sophistication. When he is an emperor, he wants to be shameless and thinks too much.
Outside Taowu Hall, Huang Laosi had just left, and Sun An was half a step behind.
The two of them had just finished watching The Prince.
The prince's situation is a bit strange, I can't say it's good or bad.
Four days have passed, and the prince has basically fallen asleep in bed, not in a coma, but sleeping like a dead pig.
Wake up, eat, finish eating, and go back to sleep, as if you haven't slept in eight lifetimes.
The imperial doctor didn't dare to say that it was getting better or worse. He just said that drinking more warm water would be beneficial. Look, wouldn't it stop coughing?
Judging from the complexion, the little face is a little rosy, and judging from the pulse, it is beating more steadily.
However, this does not prove that there is something wrong with the Kirin Stone, because Wu Nanfeng, the imperial doctor who lives in the same room with the Kirin Stone fragments every day, is also very active.
In any case, the prince has been "stable" for the time being. At least he sleeps soundly, unlike before where he had nightmares and would wake up after a few hours of sleep.
Walking in the palace, Huang Laosi breathed a sigh of relief: "Although I have been sleeping all day, it seems to be getting better."
"The prince is a virtuous man and will be protected by God."
Huang Laosi nodded and mentioned another matter: "What's going on outside the palace? Is the reputation of the Li family being talked about among the scholars?"
"That's true among the people, but there doesn't seem to be much movement in this scholarly community."
"Shilin didn't discuss it?"
"Yes, these scholars are all scholars, and most of the scholars come from aristocratic families. I guess they don't dare to talk about the Li family casually."
Huang Laosi's good mood disappeared, he stopped and said coldly: "Scholars dare to discuss matters in the palace, but they dare not discuss the Li family?!"
Sun Ancheng was frightened and remained silent.
The emperor started to get upset again.
I was originally waiting to see the excitement, but it turned out to be in vain. The news was released, and the matter was not discussed at all among the scholars.
"Then tell me what the next step should be."
Sun An was dumbfounded.
How could our family know about this kind of thing?
"Trash." Seeing that the old eunuch remained silent, Huang Laosi cursed angrily. He wanted to go back to Jingyi Hall to approve the memorial, but after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped: "Go to Tianlao!"
After saying to go to the Tianlao, Huang Laosi walked quickly to the Tianlao.
The emperor is a little reluctant. He just unlocked a new posture, why is it not easy to use?
Sun An is not optimistic about controlling public opinion and "beating it up".
Again, the aristocratic family controls the direction of the scholarly world, and the scholarly family controls the popular trend. In this field, the emperor has no advantage.
It’s not that there are no civil servants or aristocratic families who are loyal to the emperor, but it’s easy to say but hard to hear. The emperor can’t ask some ministers to study together how to do such dirty things.
When they arrived at Tianlao, Huang Laosi remembered that he hadn't changed into his dragon robe yet, so he quickly asked Sun An to get the sleeping guard armor.
The emperor is very particular about details, and his inner garment is also yellow. He even took off his inner garment to avoid being seen as fishy by Chu Qing.
Or the emperor is the greatest, and the palace is his home. In order to change his clothes, he started changing his clothes with his bare buttocks under the blue sky and in broad daylight. Sun An was very envious when he saw it.
As a result, Huang Laosi heard Chu Qing's dissatisfied voice just after he was released from prison.
"Why is it pasta again? Can we try something different?"
Tong Gui, who was carrying a food box, stood outside the fence and replied angrily: "Didn't you tell me not to eat noodles yesterday?"
"I'm talking about some hard food. Give me two steamed buns. Have you ever seen anyone eating noodles with steamed buns?"
"These steamed buns are quite hard. Besides, the dining room is mostly filled with pastries. The imperial dining room does have a lot of dishes, but this is a prison, and I can't..."
In the middle of the sentence, he heard the sound of footsteps. Tong Gui turned his head and saw that it was the emperor. He quickly saluted: "Your Majesty..."
Before the word "下" came out, Huang Laosi's eyes widened, and Tong Gui quickly changed his words: "The noodles must be delicious. Eat them with steamed buns, they are the most delicious."
Huang Laosi: "Get out."
Tong Gui put down the food box and ran out.
Chu Qing stretched his head and couldn't remember for a moment. Which one is Huang Laosi or Tong Gui? Why are the people in the palace so afraid of Huang Laosi? How many people has this guy secretly killed?

It’s not that I won’t update, it’s because the Chinese New Year is coming soon. If I update, I will let you see... and let you misunderstand that I am a loser. After all, it is the end of the year and everyone has to buy New Year’s goods and visit relatives. Only losers will stay here.
