1. It’s about money. I can make it, and so can you, but it’s all up to you. You’re rich, and I’m poor.
Second, regarding conscience, you have it and so do I, but you have done all the good deeds and everyone praises you but not me, which makes me seem very heartless.
Chu Qing is now doing the second thing, doing it with great success, but he doesn't know that his reputation in Beijing is already bad.
People are always ignorant, the majority are guided by the minority.
Common people who have not read books are guided by scholars who have read books.
Scholars without official status were guided by ministers with official status.
The low-ranking ministers were guided by the court bosses.
Chu Qing had no idea what was happening in the city. Logically speaking, he should know. After all, he was the deputy commander of the Qianqi Battalion.
But Tao Ruolin was afraid that he would be distracted, so she deliberately hid it from him, letting Jiang Yuesheng and others hide him.
Chu Qing, who had no idea that everyone was shouting at him in the court hall, was holding a shovel and looking at the first completed three-story building, smiling like a child.
The refugees walked in, crying, and knelt in the room, stroking the stone bed that smelled of paint with their rough fingers, and burst into tears.
Chu Qing came to the roof and looked at the small buildings that were almost completed. He pinched his waist and his face was full of pride and pride.
Changxian stood next to him, biting his lip tightly, clenching his fists, and his face turned red.
After a long time, Changxian still couldn't hold back and shed tears of excitement.
"Master Chu, this is...this is the house we built. This is the house we built for the refugees, no, for the common people!"
"Yes, we built the house." Chu Qing rubbed Changxian's head and nodded.
Changxian straightened his tattered unicorn robe, took a step back, and saluted Chu Qing.
"Student, thank you Master Chu."
"Your Highness, King Langya, please remember, and I will also remember. If you are bright, the world will not be dark. If you are hopeful, the world will not be completely hopeless."
"Students, be taught."
The setting sun stretched Chu Qing's shadow thin and long. The afterglow shone on his shoulders, and the sweat dripped on the ground. At that moment, it was colorful.
Chu Qing turned around. He had already placed all the chips for this huge gamble on the gambling table.
What happens next depends on the emperor.
Chu Qing was not stupid, how could he not know that the Li family had already begun activities, but he didn't know how to target him specifically. He probably wanted to make a fuss about the refugees.
But Chu Qing was not only not afraid, but also vaguely looking forward to it.
I can live in peace for years, but life and this world will not. If I don’t fight hard, I will fight for my life. To the extent that I can persist, I will decide what height I will reach. What I can do has been done, whether it will be shattered to pieces or not.
A slap slapped hard on the face of the courtier in the capital. What happened? Look at the emperor, look at that ninety-five-year-old man!
Dragging his tired body, Chu Qing took Changxian back to the tent and gathered everyone to start studying the finishing work.
A few days later, the hot summer finally passed, and the first autumn rain fell on the world.
The autumn rain is like a curtain, vast and hazy, floating silently on the continuous roof tiles, soaking the ground, the houses, and the trees, but it is evaporated by the fiery hearts and hot bodies of the refugees.
Without a trace.
Chu Qing put the last brick on the ladder himself.
The rain has stopped, and the blue sky washed by the autumn rain is as blue and clear as the sea, and the white clouds are like a solitary boat setting sail, floating leisurely on the water.
More than 3,000 people burst into shouts, some cried, some laughed, some knelt on the ground and kissed the soil they hated so much, some pinched their arms hard for fear, and when they opened their eyes again, they found that it was all the same.
A fantasy dream.
Chu Qing wanted to be like a great man or general, step on the eaves, wave his hands, and shout out loudly, "Comrades, thank you for your hard work," but with his mouth open, he couldn't say a word. He seemed to have said something, and was drowned in the shout.
in the sound.
Tao Ruolin turned around and looked at the capital with cold eyes.
Now, it should be the beginning of the court. Today, we have to see the outcome!
Looking back at Bihua, Tao Ruolin whispered: "Go and nail those plaques on the courtyard door."
Bihua hummed and ran towards the carriage.
Tao Ruolin came to Chu Qing's side: "Go back to Chu Mansion and have a good rest."
Chu Qing, who was full of excitement, was slightly startled: "I still have some money left, and I'm thinking of having a party at noon."
"If my guess is correct, the emperor will leave the palace today, and the courtiers will also leave the palace, and come to the south of the city to see the refugees." Tao Ruolin smiled sweetly: "If the emperor is provoked by the courtiers and becomes angry, I will ask Bihua to go to the Chu Mansion to give you
When the news is reported, you run away and run far away. Three months later, when the news subsides, you write me a letter and tell me where you are, and I will go find you."
Chu Qing was dumbfounded: "Isn't that true?"
"Then you stay."
"Uh... there's soup in the house. I have to go back to drink the soup. So what? I'm not afraid. There's really soup in the house. 886."
…………
In the Government Hall, as Sun An shouted "Open the court" like a male duck hiccupping, Huang Laosi's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
Since Zhou Youwei colluded with other officials and began to deliberately target Chu Qing, Huang Laosi summoned Jiang Yuesheng privately.
There was only one instruction from the top leader of the Dachang Dynasty to the Qianqi Camp. Outside the city, Chu Qing only needed to concentrate on building houses, and he was allowed to storm in the city. As long as his emperor, Chang Chengyou, stood motionless, no one would do anything.
Dare to touch the deputy commander of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion!
Although Huang Laosi can be careless at times, he is a thoughtful person.
When you are a general, you should be proactive, attack like fire, be the first to strike, and kill the enemy troops in pieces.
When you are an emperor, you have to strike first, remain as still as a forest, wait and see what happens, and take advantage of the situation until the opponent has used up all his cards, then he will strike with a fatal blow.
He didn't know how the houses for the refugees outside the city were built, or what the results were. He only knew that the people in the court saying that Chu Qing was inviting people to buy people's hearts were all nonsense.
Invite to buy people's hearts, use your own land to invite people to buy people's hearts?
Inviting to buy people's hearts, bringing the second prince together to invite them to buy people's hearts?
Invite to buy people's hearts, go to any lengths to borrow money and build houses to buy people's hearts?
If this is an invitation to buy the hearts of the people, Huang Laosi is willing to buy the hearts of all the courtiers in the court. As long as the refugees can eat and the people have a place to live, it is an invitation to buy the hearts of the people in the capital. He, the emperor, is willing to do so.
It's so delicious.
It's a pity that the courtiers are trying to buy the hearts of the people, but what they want to buy is the hearts of the scholars and the courtiers, but no one can buy the hearts of the common people.
Since the last time Li Wenli was asked to "close himself up and think about his mistakes" at home, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs has not been to the court and asked for leave on the grounds of physical discomfort. Today is the first day of going to court.
Therefore, Huang Laosi knew very well that today was the time for Li Wenli, Zhou Youwei and others to launch an attack.
Huang Laosi was very patient. As he said before, he would strike later. He only needed to know how this group of people were going to deal with Chu Qing before he could take corresponding measures.
Just as Huang Laosi expected, after the six groups performed their respective reports, Yu Lian, the young minister of Sinong Temple, left the team.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
As soon as he left work, Yu Lian's eyes were blurred with tears.
"Your Majesty, I... I'm so sorry."
He knelt there and cried before saying anything. If it could be graded, Yu Lian's acting skills would be at least nine points. The remaining ninety-one points were all deducted for his exaggerated micro-expressions. He was not as good as a little baby, at least.
He knows how to stare, but this old guy just cries, relying solely on emotion and no skills at all.
Yu Lian, the young minister of Sinong Temple, was blackmailed by Chu Qing for a total of 11,000 yuan.
For the first time, Chu Qing took the initiative to visit me and blackmailed me for three thousand dollars on the pretext of repairing the house.
The second time, Zhou Youwei secretly ordered the family steward to send another three thousand guans.
The third time, Chu Qing was completely shameless and asked Fu San to go to Yu Mansion and tell him that the price of materials had recently increased, so the deposit for building the house had also increased, and he wanted another five thousand guan.
Yu Lian had never seen such a shameless person, but for Zhou Youwei's "big plan", he reluctantly took out another five thousand strings.
And today, he was going to reveal to the world Chu Qing's true face as a despicable villain with a human face and a beast's heart, and a ruthless hand that destroyed flowers!
