In fact, Zhou Youwei was a little incoherent, but now he couldn't care so much. He had already let everyone know that he wanted to kill Chu Qing, and the emperor seemed to be deliberately partial and had just shown an expression of disgust towards him.
, if Chu Qing doesn’t do that at all today, he will definitely not have a good life in the future.
Li Wenli's eyes flashed with disdain, feeling that Zhou Youwei was losing his temper.
But now, we can only let it go: "Your Majesty, Chu Qing is the deputy commander of the Qianqi Battalion of the emperor's personal army. Every word and deed he does represents the Tian family. Once this matter gets out, the consequences will be disastrous."
Supervisory envoy Zhou Pengfei spoke: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be indulged. It should be severely punished to give the refugees justice."
The group of people who had impeached Chu Qing in the court also agreed.
And those ministers who had been blackmailed by Chu Qing but were unwilling to get involved began to get interested.
I didn't get involved before because I didn't want to offend Qianqiying with a few thousand strings.
Now I want to get involved because I am facing a "reputation" issue.
Chu Qing had already let the refugees eat tree bark. If he just "sit back and do nothing" without calling out twice and spread the word, he would think that he didn't care about the people.
Just when Chu Qing was about to become a real drummer and beaten by thousands of people, there was a "plop" and another person knelt on the ground.
Qi Haoran grinned and said two words cautiously.
"You...are you His Majesty?"
This is the first sentence. In the second sentence, Qi Haoran looked confused: "The boss didn't force the common people to eat tree bark."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lao Qitou again.
Huang Laosi's nose was so angry that he said, "You husband, why are you talking so confusingly? Just now you said you were forced to eat tree bark, why did you change your words again?"
Qi Haoran was frightened by Huang Laosi's glare.
First of all, this old man is an old pawn. When he joined the army, he was an official. Looking at his name, you can tell that he was a child of a wealthy family in the past. In addition to his age, he has met many officials recently and can talk about it.
talk.
But now facing the emperor, the people's awe for the imperial power was engraved in their bones. They were kneeling on the ground so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.
Zhou Youwei shouted loudly: "My father-in-law, the Emperor is here, and all the ministers are also here. If you have any grievances, just say so. The Emperor will uphold justice for you and others."
"Little old man, little old man has no injustice."
"Why not?"
"I don't dare to talk nonsense, I really don't."
"If you think about it carefully, there must be."
"No."
Zhou Youwei frowned and said, "I would have thought of something without you."
"No, what do the officials want me to think?" Qi Haoran also reacted and looked at Zhou Youwei with squinting eyes: "How about this official help me think of one? You should be the best at this kind of bullshit.
It’s about that.”
The old man was afraid of the emperor, not the officials. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zhou Youwei was ashamed and angry.
If you don't say that Huang Laosi is the emperor, you will get the idea right away: "What do you refugees eat every day?"
"again."
Huang Laosi didn't understand for a moment: "Again?"
"Yes, chickens, fish, and pigs. Every few days, the boss will send people to several counties to buy them."
Li Wenli sneered: "Your Majesty, this person is weird. Someone must have instructed him to speak like this. If you don't say where the refugees can eat, no, it's meat, let's just say that this person's words are confusing. Just now he said that food should not be eaten, and now it has changed.
It’s become carnivore, it’s nonsense.”
Qi Haoran's face was full of grievances, he opened his mouth and pointed to the lonely front tooth on his upper gum: "It's such nonsense. Once you eat it, the old man will be in pain, he can't chew it, and he can't use his strength."
Several young juniors next to him also knelt on the ground, shouting in all directions.
"Don't dare lie, don't dare lie, I haven't eaten tree bark."
"Yes, yes, when it comes to eating meat, old people like Master Qi cannot eat meat and can only watch."
"I want to drink porridge and water, but my boss said that porridge and water can't fill my stomach, so I have to eat meat. It's unreasonable to force the old people to eat meat."
"Yes, the elders have a hard time eating meat. There are eight old people in Zhuangzi, and they can't even get ten teeth together."
The emperor and his ministers were all dumbfounded. Not to mention Huang Laosi, even Sun An had an expression on his face like you are teasing us.
Even Qiu Wanshan and others suspected that Qi Haoran and others were "entrusted".
Are you kidding me? Giving meat to the refugees is not making fun of fools.
"Be bold!"
Li Wenli sternly scolded: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful with your head."
Qi Haoran kowtowed quickly: "I don't dare. How dare you talk nonsense in front of the emperor."
"Refugees eat meat, but Chu Qing has the ability to turn stone into gold."
Huang Laosi's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip with water: "You are a veteran and an elder. I don't care about you. Don't talk nonsense."
Qi Haoran was speechless. In a hurry, he raised his head and shouted: "I almost forgot, yes, yes, it's dinner time soon. Your Majesty doesn't believe it, but you can go to Zhuangzi and see with your own eyes. If you see it with your own eyes, you will know that the little old man is not talking nonsense."
"Okay." Zhou Youwei found a chance again: "It's almost nighttime now, and I've just eaten food. Is Chu Qing's heart made of iron?"
This time it was Qi Haoran's turn to look at Qi Haoran as if he was mentally retarded: "Dinner, if you don't want to eat it late at night, when will you eat it?"
"dinner?"
Qi Haoran looked like he suddenly realized: "So you dogs... these high officials in the city also eat two meals a day?"
Zhou Youwei was confused, but Huang Laosi subconsciously said: "Refugees, do you need to eat three meals a day?"
"Three meals, yes, three meals. The boss said that you need to eat three meals a day. But if you eat two meals, your body can't bear it. Hey, this boss is kind-hearted. We poor people, let alone three meals.
Just one meal a day..."
"That's enough." Huang Laosi interrupted Qi Haoran and stepped forward, too lazy to listen anymore. He felt that the old man was getting more and more stubborn.
He eats meat three times a day. How can he be considered a fool?
At this moment, Huang Laosi was extremely disgusted.
It’s not that I deny the idea of relieving refugees, but I don’t like fraud, especially this kind of fraud that insults my IQ.
When his identity was not revealed, the old man's words were somewhat credible, but once his identity was revealed, it was all nonsense!
Now Huang Laosi is not in the mood to look for opportunities to mess with Zhou Youwei and Li Wenli. He just wants to know how the refugees are living. It must be miserable, but Qi Haoran will not say it is so "exaggerated".
As the emperor, he can accept "misery", but he cannot accept being forced to take the blame, because Chu Qing's relief to the refugees is now official, representing his emperor Chang Chengyou.
The sky had completely darkened, and the buildings connected together were brightly lit, but it was just the lights on the ground, not the houses, so he still couldn't see clearly.
Seeing that it was about to arrive, Huang Laosi suddenly smelled a smell, to be precise, it was the aroma of meat, and then the sound of joyful laughter reached his ears.
Involuntarily, Huang Laosi slowed down and squinted his eyes. When he saw the scene in front of him clearly, he froze on the spot.
Everything was different from what he imagined, completely different, or in other words, beyond his imagination and cognition.
