Chu Qing was indeed worried all night and stayed up all night, feeling frightened in the Qianqiying Yamen Office.
It was too much torment. He gritted his teeth and felt frustrated. Chu Qing was driven back to the palace by Chang Xian, who was also frightened, and asked Chang Lao Er to find out the news.
It was almost an hour after the court session, when Changxian came back.
As soon as Chang Laoer entered the class room, he looked at Chu Qing with a slumped face.
Chu Qing's heart thumped, and his heart sank to the bottom.
"The Emperor...is Longyan furious?"
Changxian pouted, nodded first, and then shook his head.
"No, what do you mean? What did you say, do you want to kill or cut into pieces?"
"Father, if you do this well, you should severely punish scum like Li Lin."
Chu Qing swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Brother, can you stop making trouble? Stop comforting me. What did you say?"
Changxian said with an expression as if he was dying to kiss his old mother: "Master Chu, please rest assured, my father really said so."
"Fuck you." Chu Qing was even more frightened: "Brother Xian, don't scare me, just tell the truth."
"Father really said that."
Chu Qing is a little angry. If the emperor doesn't pursue it, how can you look like your wife ran away with your brother-in-law?
"Tell me what's going on. As long as it doesn't harm my family, I, Chu Qing, will accept my fate."
Changxian sighed heavily again: "Father said that this is how Qianqi Camp should act."
Chu Qing's face was full of suspicion: "Don't tease me. If the emperor really doesn't pursue it, why do you look like this?"
Changxian opened his mouth, and finally a very forced smile appeared on his face, but nothing came out.
He didn't even know what to say, Chang Laoer still hadn't figured it out yet.
What's the matter? You've already gone to a drunken guest house. Why should you praise Master Chu and squirt on me? What should you do?
In fact, this is indeed the case. Huang Laosi not only did not pursue the case, but also praised Chu Qing, and then scolded Changxian, saying that Changxian was nothing but a shameful thing. Damn, even Ma Rui did it.
Come on, as a prince, you didn’t go up and kick me. What are you if you are not a waste?
After repeated confirmations, Chu Qing finally confirmed that the emperor really did not want to pursue this matter, and he laughed so hard that he was so crazy.
"Hahahaha, if I encounter a bastard like Li Lin in the future, I will chop off his claws!"
Fu San looked sideways at Chu Qing.
Just now, just now, just now Chu Qing said, whoever does this kind of thing again in the future is a dog, whoever is impulsive again is a dog, and whoever doesn't walk around when he sees the son of a noble family again, he is a dog!
In fact, people are like this most of the time. It's difficult to make a choice between standing up for the people and protecting themselves wisely. One is on the left and the other is on the right, just like an angel and a devil, each holding one of Chu Qing's balls, and then the two things are still tug-of-war. It's painful.
It's Chu Qing.
The worries in his heart were swept away. Chu Qing quickly asked what was going on, but Changxian couldn't tell him anything. When he arrived at the palace, he didn't say a few words. He just said "picking up stones".
Being sprayed out by Huang Laosi, he was also in a fog. He only knew that the emperor would not pursue this matter.
Chu Qing also learned to be smart. Chang Xian couldn't understand, so he just asked Qianqiying to go out and find out. That's what Qianqiying was supposed to do.
After leaving the class room, he gave instructions to Jiang Yuesheng, and Chu Qing waited patiently.
After a few hours, the information feedback came back.
First of all, yesterday's incident of drunken guest living was already known to everyone in Beijing. The people were scolding the Li family's grain shop for not only making dirty money, but also for mixing flour into the stones. They should have been dealt with long ago.
As for the scholars, that is, the scholars in Beijing, they are also talking, but they are not as excited as the common people, but they are talking about the Qianqi Camp being too rampant.
But today, the situation has reversed a bit. Scholars in Shilin are also talking about it, but no one dares to say that it is the problem of Qianqiying. The reason is because Li Lin may, maybe, be a little too arrogant and will not represent the emperor.
The Qianqi Camp looked down upon him, so his fingers were cut off.
Later, many ministers who went to court also let it slip. The general meaning is that Li Lin seemed to have drunk too much yesterday and told the deputy commander of Qianqiying that if you have the ability, you can chop off one of my fingers. If not, you will be my son. Then the deputy commander
He said that it was the first time in such a long time that he heard such an unreasonable request, and after that, he would chop off one of his fingers on behalf of the emperor.
The situation of the courtiers is also very strange. Some people say that Qianqiying abused lynching, but some people say that if the emperor is not taken seriously, cutting off his fingers is a frivolous treatment of Li Lin. He should cut off his head, and his son should be cut off.
Dad can imagine this bearish appearance. The left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is not worthy of his position. He should be replaced by someone else. For example, that so-and-so in my family has a respectable face and is a good reader of the Four Books and Five Classics.
He talks about worrying about the country and the people, and he is definitely qualified for the job of Zuo Shilang in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
With the feedback and interpretation of the information, Chu Qing finally figured out what was going on, and also learned what happened in the court today. It turned out that Qiu Wanshan staged a life-and-death reversal.
While he was grateful to Qiu Wanshan, Chu Qing was not happy at all. It wasn't that he was unhappy, he was just helpless.
Instead of pursuing the case, the emperor punished Li Wenli, not because he, Chu Qing, did the right thing, but because Li Lin did the wrong thing.
Sitting blankly in the class room, Chu Qing smiled bitterly.
This is not the result he wants, really not.
What he wants is for the emperor to say that Qianqiying did the right thing because the Li family bullied and harmed the people. Even if he is held accountable, he just needs to let the Li family receive the punishment they deserve.
But now, the emperor said that Qianqiying did the right thing because the Li family did wrong. The Li family did not take Qianqiying, who represented the emperor, in their eyes, not because the Li family sold flour mixed with pebbles.
"San'er." Chu Qing looked sideways at Fu San and showed a wry smile: "Tell me, do the emperor have any common people in his heart?"
Fu San shook his head.
He didn't know that he had experienced so much with Chu Qing recently. In fact, everything was related to the people, everything was related to the emperor, and everything was right, but this "right" had to be
As for the emperor, if the emperor cares about the people, then everything Chu Qing does right is truly "right".
It was precisely because he was not sure whether the emperor really cared about the people that Chu Qing would be frightened after doing something.
This feeling is not good, and it is very bad for Chu Qing.
It's obviously the right thing to do, but I still feel uneasy.
"I seem to understand why this damn world is so fucked up!"
Chu Qing suddenly had an understanding that had always puzzled him.
"Because everyone doesn't know whether the emperor really cares about the people. They even think that the emperor doesn't care about the people. That's why he bullies the people and harms them. That's why he has no fear!"
Chu Qing stood up suddenly, and there was light in his eyes.
"If, if the people of the world, the ministers of the world, and all the aristocratic families all think that the emperor cares about the people, and that the emperor cares about the people incomparably, then who would dare to act as perversely as the Li family did, who would dare to remain silent, and who would dare to sit down and eat without food
!”
Looking at Fu San, Chu Qing's eyes were burning: "I finally understand what I want to do!"
"Master, what do you mean?"
"I want to bet, take a gamble!"
"What to bet on?"
"Bet on the emperor, bet he cares about the people!"
Fu San scratched the back of his head: "Young one still doesn't understand, what if you win, what if you lose?"
"If I win, my life, Chu Qing's, will be complete, and I will no longer be fucked up in this world."
"What if you lose?"
"Death without a burial place!" Chu Qing clenched his fists: "I want the world to know that the emperor cares about the people..."
At this point, Chu Qing almost gritted his teeth and continued: "Even if he doesn't care, I have to force him to care!"
