After leaving the Hubu Yamen Office, Chu Qing saw thirty guards standing at the door with long swords on their waists. Fu San was squatting at the door talking to a guard.
Seeing Changxian coming out, the guards quickly dispersed and Changxian entered the sedan chair.
Just then Qiu Wanshan chased him out and winked at Chu Qing.
When the two came to the side, Qiu Wanshan lowered his voice and said: "Brother, please don't forget to say a few kind words for Brother Yu in front of His Highness."
Chu Qing couldn't laugh or cry: "That's why you ran out."
"What else can there be... Oh yes, the main reason is that I am worried about the safety of my dear brother. After today, I will definitely have a falling out with the Li family. My dear brother, it is best to be careful."
"If you can come up with lies so quickly, I'll just believe it."
Qiu Wanshan laughed sarcastically, and then said seriously: "There is one more thing that Brother Yu wants to teach you. This is based on experience."
"What's up?"
"To get along with the nobles of Tianhuang, you must be neither arrogant nor humble, nor too humble." Qiu Wanshan said seriously: "Remember, you are a civil servant and a scholar. If you want to have a smooth official career, you must not lose the reputation of a smooth-talking and flattering person.
, Although Brother Yu is a capable person, he still needs to show the arrogance of a scholar when facing the children of the royal family. You must do the same, but I understand."
Chu Qing nodded: "I understand."
Changxian who happened to be in the sedan opened the curtain of the sedan, stretched out his head and shouted: "Master Chu, can you share the sedan with the students to Dali Temple?"
Chu Qing turned around and waved his hand: "No, the sedan is too slow. I'm not used to it."
"That's fine." Changxian got out of the sedan and said with a smile, "The student can also ride a horse."
"What are you talking about? It's inconvenient to ride a horse." Qiu Wanshan waved his long sleeves and lectured with a proud expression of a scholar: "His Royal Highness is a prince, how can he ride a horse through the city in a swagger? I'd better carry His Highness on my back.
The horse runs fast."
Chu Qing: "..."
Changxian had a cold look on his face.
He doesn't feel that riding a horse is more "ostentatious" than riding a big living person.
Chu Qing seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and whispered: "Master Qiu, don't you say that you are not arrogant and do not belittle the pride of a scholar?"
"He is a prince, prince, and is of the blood of our Dachang Chaotian family. That body is not his own."
"Whose is it but himself?"
"It belongs to the common people. If someone falls down while riding a horse, I don't know how many people will be worried and unable to sleep at night."
"Okay, okay, go back quickly and find all the scoundrels in the Li family. Bye."
Back outside the government office, he called Fu San. Chu Qing prepared to walk, while Chang Xian followed side by side.
After the guards dispersed, Chu Qing saw that the leading Su guard was actually Tong Gui led by the Prince Guard.
A little surprised, why is the prince's security chief responsible for protecting the second prince after he leaves the palace?
After asking casually, I found out that it was arranged by Prince Chang Yu. He was worried that his brother would leave the palace and be taken out by Tong Gui and others.
Changxian is not the crown prince, he is just the middle child, so there are no henchmen in the palace.
Normally, every prince has a guard, either a royal guard or a bodyguard. However, although Chang Laoer has the title of prince on his head, he has given away his fiefdom and has not built a palace, so there is no
The so-called official accompanying.
The two of them were walking and chatting. Chu Qing recalled the careless attitude of the three of them in the main hall of the government office just now, and was full of doubts.
"Master Wei called me to the Household Office to check the tax bank. He knows the affairs of Xiao County better than anyone, but today he seems completely unprepared."
Chang Xian burst into laughter: "A person like Master Chu who serves the country and the people selflessly will naturally not think deeply about the truth."
Chu Qing's old face turned red: "How do you say that?"
"Master Wei is worried. The tax inspection will affect the whole body. If the Li family jumps over the wall in a hurry, or joins forces with other aristocratic families, Master Wei is afraid that the students will not be able to withstand the huge pressure and retreat to the palace. What will happen to the rest of the family?"
Master Wei will naturally clean up the mess, and the Li family and other aristocratic families will definitely point their fingers at Master Wei."
After a pause, Changxian continued: "Although the student is a prince, he is still young. Master Wei is even more afraid that the student is eager for quick success and eager to show off in front of his father, and does things without rules or impulsively."
Chu Qing suddenly realized.
It turned out that it wasn't Lao Wei who was being sloppy, but that the old guy didn't trust Changxian.
To put it bluntly, I just feel that Changxian is young and can't do things well with his words. He doesn't know the importance of it and pokes at the wrong place. If he pokes the wrong place, the Li family will be anxious, or even all forces will join forces.
In the end, Changxian took advantage of his status as the prince and ran away. The one who took the blame had to be Lao Wei.
It is precisely because of this concern that Wei Changfeng talked about him. He didn't want Changxian to know what he was planning. Instead, he wanted to test Changxian's tone first, or see how Changxian would handle this.
Errands.
After understanding Lao Wei's attitude, Qiu Wanshan naturally understood it better.
Lao Qiu is not a fool. He thinks about defeat before talking about victory. If it fails in the end, whoever comes up with the idea or who is the most active will take the blame.
Therefore, Qiu Wanshan has to grasp the right balance, exert the least effort, and create the greatest sense of presence. If this thing is successful, the emperor must remember him. If this thing is not successful, the Li family must not let him know that he participated in too much.
Shen will retaliate against him.
So in comparison, Qiu Wanshan is more difficult to do than Wei Changfeng.
"This officialdom is really not accessible to ordinary people." Chu Qing looked sideways at Changxian: "What about you, His Highness the Second Prince, what do you think?"
"Of course Master Chu is just following the horse's lead."
Chu Qing seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "What, are you worried like Master Wei, or are you just conciliatory like Master Qiu?"
Changxian was unhappy and said anxiously: "The student really thinks so, and the student will do whatever Master Chu tells him."
"I'm just kidding, I think you're in a hurry."
Chu Qing laughed, suddenly feeling that this little kid was quite interesting.
For a moment, Chu Qing was filled with emotions.
When I was building the Taowu Palace, I was still thinking about finding a prince as my backer, but by some strange combination of circumstances, I became the prince's "teacher."
Just save two, buy one and get one free.
Chu Qing could feel that Changxian was indeed grateful to him, and he was not just being arrogant. The weirdest thing was that he still had an inexplicable sense of dependence on himself.
This sense of dependence may be due to giving him a chance to prove himself, or it may be due to the hexagram of being a Water Taoist or a Rain Taoist. Chang Xian really regards him as a noble person in his destiny.
Not far from Dali Temple, thirty imperial guards protected Chu Qing and Chang Xian in the middle, which attracted many people's attention. However, almost no one knew Chang Xian. Those who knew Chang Xian all worked in the government office. Those who didn't knew him
But he also knew that he was a noble person, so he stayed far away.
Chu Qing was very envious.
When can I go out without taking thirty henchmen with me?
