Everyone is the protagonist in life, but only in their own life, not in this world or the world.
Chu Qing has a clear understanding of this point.
Xiao County, all the tax affairs in the world, the Li family, King Wu, everything, everything. At most, he only knew about it and participated in it on the side, but he was not the protagonist.
The protagonist of these things may be Qianqiying, King Langya, the Li family or the emperor, it could be anyone, but it won't be him, a small household official.
Therefore, Chu Qing's mentality is very peaceful. He cares more about making money than doing anything about Li Family and King Wu.
After ordering, Chu Qing found that the class room was a little crowded.
In addition to the second prince Changxian, Chen Yan was also there. Fu San found a stool to sit in the corner and dozed off. The small class room seemed very crowded.
Chu Qing glanced at Chen Yan who was comparing the roster with Chang Xian intentionally or unintentionally, and became more and more suspicious in his heart.
It wasn't Chen Yan who showed any flaws, but Chang Xian, the second prince's attitude towards Chen Yan made him suspicious.
After Changxian came out of the palace, he met many officials, but the only ones who could speak seriously were four people. In chronological order, they were Wei Changfeng, Qiu Wanshan, Tao Shaozhang, and Chen Yan. Their official positions were also from senior to junior.
.
Changxian showed respect for Wei Changfeng, but also had some airs about him.
Regarding Qiu Wanshan, Changxian behaved in a polite and condescending manner.
Regarding Tao Shaozhang, Changxian's attitude was more complicated. He might have admired him at first. After all, he was a stupid young man who went against the Li family every day. But later, because of the incident in the gambling house, his character was probably exposed by his gambling. His Royal Highness the Second Prince
I have a bit of disdain for Master Tao, and I don't really want to talk to him anyway. Another reason is that I may be envious of Tao Shaozhang's luck.
With the last one left, Chen Yan, whom he had been with every day for four consecutive days, Chu Qing could tell something was wrong.
Changxian, Tianhuang nobleman, one of the two princes, was very obedient to Chen Yan, who was the lowest ranking and the youngest. Changxian listened carefully to what Chen Yan said and discussed it, either respectfully or "seriously" and extremely seriously.
, as if Chen Yan was an expert in a certain field, no matter what he said, he listened attentively.
Chu Qing was surprised at this. Logically speaking, the two of them had never interacted with each other before. Why did the second prince have such an attitude towards an unknown head of the household department?
In fact, not to mention the second prince, even the prince had to listen carefully to Chen Yan's words. The two children did not know that Chen Yan was their brother-in-law, but they knew that this guy controlled the Qianqi Camp, secretly monitored hundreds of officials, and monitored all the people in the world.
Chu Qing was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. Seeing that he had nothing to do for the time being, he went out to find some officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs to give lectures.
Fu San yawned and fell asleep on the stool.
As soon as Chu Qing left, Chen Yan took out another roster from his arms and put it on the desk.
"Qianqi Camp can be sure that the seven people on this list are die-hard loyalists of the Li family." After Chen Yan opened the list, he didn't lower his voice intentionally: "Find someone and let him turn against you. The bigger the trouble, the better. When it gets out of hand,
He will definitely look for His Highness to stand up for him, and when that happens, Your Highness will find another excuse to clean up the Li family."
This "he" refers to Chu Qing. He didn't dare to call him by his name because Fu San was still sitting in the corner and dozing off. But if you have to pay more attention to it, it's not true. I guess Chen Yan didn't even think about Fu San's IQ.
In other words, even though they were in the same room together, they were carefree and plotted with Changxian how to trick Chu Qing.
Chang Xian looked at the name on the roster and hesitated slightly: "Ke Chu... But he is loyal and virtuous, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to be hostile to others."
"Loyal and virtuous?"
Chen Yan raised his head, with a look on his face as if he was teasing his uncle, wondering if his eldest nephew had a fundamental misunderstanding of Chu Qing.
From his appearance to his behavior, where does this guy have anything to do with being loyal, honest, and virtuous?
Chen Yan didn't have the nerve to correct Chang Xian and continued: "Let's find someone. The grade shouldn't be too high, but it should also be powerful. I'll send someone to do the bureau and let him come forward first."
Changxian was still hesitant, he didn't want to hide it from Chu Qing, but at this moment, Fusan, who had closed his eyes, spoke up, frowning and interjecting: "Are you talking about my young master?"
"Who said anything about your young master?"
Chen Yan's pupils shrank. Could it be that Fu San, who seemed to be sleeping, actually stayed in the house on purpose?
Fu San rubbed his eyes: "Didn't you just say that you are loyal and virtuous? I thought Mr. Chen was talking about my young master."
Chen Yan: “…”
Chen Yan really wanted to ask Fu San, how on earth did this guy think that his young master was "loyal and virtuous"? How blind was he? He had little contact with Chang Xian, so forget it if he didn't know. You hang out with Chu Qing every day, why don't you?
clear?
In fact, this has nothing to do with the length of contact. It can only be said that the perspective and stance are different.
Chen Yan had communicated with Chu Qing quite a lot, so he knew the latter's character very well, but the two of them had not experienced anything before.
Looking at Changxian, he was unwilling to talk to Chu Qing at first, but after the Kirin Stone and the blood exchange, the second child was truly grateful to Chu Qing.
In Chang Xian's eyes, Chu Qing was loyal. If he was not loyal, how could he smash the Kirin Stone at the risk of beheading him? If he was not virtuous, how could he be given a chance to prove himself?
Not to mention Fu San, the former Chu Qing was a living beast, but he was still very good to outsiders and his own people. This kind of kindness is far better than the kind of "goodness" where the master protects the servants.
”.
So the evaluation of good or bad depends on people. Even the bastard who commits murder and arson is still a loving father in the eyes of his son. Just like the big devil Li Mu of Xiao County. It is said that he has been filial since he was a child. In the eyes of his father,
I can't help but be the best filial son in the world.
Fu San yawned and continued to sleep.
Chen Yan glanced sideways at his third brother and muttered something unknown.
Chu Qing's angry and angry voice could be heard outside the door, and he was also criticizing the household officials who were studying arithmetic outside. There were also various female relatives among them, which was extremely unpleasant to listen to and the quality of the officials was worrying.
Chen Yan looked teasing: "Your Highness, do you still think that Mr. Chu is loyal, honest and virtuous?"
"Hey." Chang Xian sighed deeply: "This is Master Chu's anger. The officials in the household department are not very smart. Don't let Master Chu get so angry."
Chen Yan: “…”
Chen Yan didn't take Chen Yan seriously at first, but when he saw Chang Xian defending Chu Qing like this, he lost his temper and turned around and shouted: "Fu San, I want to ask you, how do your colleagues in the Ministry of Revenue manage to be beaten by you as soon as they learn arithmetic?"
The young master scolded me angrily?"
Fu San yawned.
Breathe normally.
Changxian was still there to defend Chu Qing: "The head of the household department is stupid, so it doesn't matter if he gets scolded. I don't know how many people want to learn this knowledge but still can't."
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and thought that this was really what happened. None of the principals said anything. Why should they mind their own business?
With a wry smile, Chen Yan continued to look at the roster.
Chu Qing's angry curses came from outside again.
"No matter how bad you memorize it, if you still want to be promoted, you will be like Chen Yan. You will be a low-ranking and useless boss all your life. If you marry a wife, you can find a young minister to have sex with you!"
