Sadly, this is how the world works, and it has always been this way.
When you gain sole benefit, many people would like to confiscate your home and wipe out your family.
After the benefits are equally shared, those people will be your bravest defenders.
This is the human heart, an extremely complex and simple human heart. Good and evil, right and wrong, wrong and right are all related to the human heart and interests.
When we praise someone, perhaps, this person is just sitting back and enjoying the success. The person who really achieved all this and protected all this is nameless and no one knows.
Chu Qing was lucky. Although he did not take all the credit and let a group of courtiers with impure motives enjoy the success, at least, at least, Tao Ruolin protected his glory and pride.
The refugees know that their employer is called Chu Qing. One day, one day in the future, or even at this moment, the refugees know that all this has nothing to do with the courtiers, or even the emperor. Only the one they can see,
The boss who can be heard running wildly and yelling, called Commander Chu, is their benefactor.
No matter how big the plaque is, no matter how many words are written on it, it is still cold. The real warmth is the flesh and blood boss called Commander Chu's boss.
Li Wenli, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, a big shot in the court who stomped and trembled with his feet, went to court for the first time after two months, and had to go home again to wait for a visit, or in other words, to wait for a visit.
Li Wenli, Zhou Youwei, and Zhou Pengfei, the three of them, whose virtues are not worthy of their place, did not take off their official robes and official hats, and went home to be punished.
But everyone knows that these three people are finished. Anyway, Zhou Youwei and Zhou Pengfei are finished. As for Li Wenli, there is still a chance, because there is another heavyweight in the Li family, Li Ke, the elder of the three dynasties. Although he is still in his old age,
, and everyone knows that Li Ke’s influence is still there. As long as this person is alive and far away in the county, no one will kill Li Wenli, including the emperor.
The emperor did not tell these three people to get out immediately, but asked them to watch and see what the southern suburbs of Zhuangzi looked like.
Yes, the emperor is humiliating them.
The courtiers all dispersed, happily going to the building marked with their names, pretending to be close to the people, pretending to be down-to-earth, pretending to care, and looking forward to the day when they would receive praise.
Li Wenli lowered his head and stood there alone.
There are no teammates anymore, not even a front line. The officials who had been extorted money and followed them to impeach Chu Qing steadfastly "rebelled" and changed their words on the spot. They were forced, forced by Zhou Youwei, saying
They were displeased by Chu Qing's good deeds, so he contacted them. However, they were in Cao's camp and their hearts were in the Han Dynasty, and they were preparing to expose Zhou Youwei.
The emperor didn't pay attention, but his disgusted eyes revealed an accurate message. These real wallflowers have no chance of promotion in this life. During their term of office, they must not make mistakes, even if they are the first to enter the political palace.
feet, they will lose their official positions.
Li Wenli was unwilling to give in, but he was not desperate yet because he still had his father, Li Ke, the patriarch of three dynasties!
He doesn't need his father to go from his hometown to the capital to seek mercy from the emperor. He only needs his father's influence in his hometown. As long as his father doesn't die, those barbarians will all obey his Li family's orders!
This night was extremely long, but Li Wenli didn't know that there was another person in the Chu family. The younger one would torture him till he was covered with bruises, but the older one would kill him and his whole family!
The emperor left Zhuangzi with his ministers and planned to come back in a few days.
It was too dark, which affected his performance. He would show his face again in a few days when the sun was shining brightly. Furthermore, he had many questions to ask Chu Qing.
The group of people came to the south of the city, met the guards, and the gate was pulled up.
Huang Laosi was riding on the horse, feeling good or bad.
It was originally bad, but Chu Qing did this thing beautifully, and the Li family was almost doomed.
It was originally good, but Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs has the names of a bunch of losers, but it doesn't have its own name.
Therefore, the fourth child is in a good or bad mood.
Seeing that the emperor, who had gathered the imperial guards, was about to enter the city, he suddenly found a group of people, a group of cavalry, and more than 20 people at the city gate.
"I ordered the imperial guards to call the cavalry, but the military report..."
Huang Laosi was stunned mid-sentence. Because he was closer, he saw that in addition to more than twenty cavalrymen, there were also prison cars, more than a dozen prison cars, and there were prisoners wearing inner clothes inside.
The cavalrymen also noticed the slowly approaching guards, and the leader stepped forward to greet them with his horse under his belly.
Several generals of the Ministry of War looked at each other in confusion. The cavalrymen of the military report did not take prisoners, but they were not the cavalrymen of the military report. What did these dusty cavalry do?
The lone cavalryman quickly arrived at the front of the team. Without waiting for the guards to report, Huang Laosi waved: "But the military reports, please bring me here."
Sun An ran to the front and brought a cavalryman wearing armor in a moment.
The cavalryman ran quickly in front of the horse, knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and spoke loudly.
"My lord, Chu Wensheng, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, pays homage to Your Majesty."
Huang Laosi almost fell off his horse: "Chu Wensheng?!"
Chu Wensheng took off his helmet and raised his head, his face expressionless and full of weather.
The courtiers behind Huang Laosi were also dumbfounded.
Not to mention that Chu Wensheng forced the three major tribes to rebel and fled in fear of crime. What the hell, he returned to Beijing. Is this... returning to surrender?
Huang Laosi opened his mouth and didn't know where to start the question.
Chu Wensheng was still the same Chu Wensheng. He didn't have any good feelings towards the emperor. He just knelt there on one knee without any unnecessary expression on his face.
Looking at the expressions of the emperor and the ministers who had seen a ghost in the day, Chu Wensheng spoke expressionlessly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, there was a roar of thunder.
"I am fortunate to have lived up to my command. The Li family in the county planned to rebel and colluded with the three tribes of Fanman to attack the government at a discount. After I heard about it, I led twenty generals to attack Namu, Tahu and Shenshu at night to capture the rebels alive.
The leaders of the three divisions and their family members raided the Li family overnight, captured the leader of the thief Li Ke, and his family members. They confessed personally and signed the documents with their own handwriting. There was a mountain of ironclad evidence, and the prisoners were escorted to the south gate."
The night breeze was gentle and silent, and the whole world seemed to have been pressed by a pair of invisible hands to pause the pause button.
A long time passed, a long time passed, and the sound of gasping for cold air came one after another.
Emperor Chang Chengyou, who did not change his expression even when Mount Tai collapsed before his eyes, was dumbfounded.
Sun An grinned so much that you could see his back molars.
Wei Changfeng and other important ministers first looked at Chu Wensheng, then looked past Lao Chu and towards the prison cars in the south of the city. Their eyes returned to Chu Wensheng again, and then looked at the prison cars again, repeating this process, as if seeing a ghost in the daytime.
There was a "plop", and from behind, a man in official robes fainted and fell to the ground. It was Li Wenli.
"You... captured Li Ke?!" Huang Laosi's voice was a little wavy: "There are also the chiefs of the three major tribes in the county and the city, and their families?!"
"Yes." Chu Wensheng's voice was as calm and cold as ice. He slowly put his right hand full of dried blood into his arms and took out a pile of documents covered with handprints.
"This is where Li Ke's letters from his affair with the barbarians were found. The Li family's mansion was set on fire and many of his letters were burned. I only took the key evidence."
Huang Laosi's eyes widened: "Did you burn down the ancestral home of the Li family?"
Chu Wensheng's face finally showed a change of expression, showing reluctance.
"It was not completely burned down. On the second day, it rained heavily, leaving half of the wing room unburned. Only forty-five houses were burned down. I set fire to it again, but after a long time, it could not be ignited."
Sun An asked subconsciously: "Then the Li family won't stop..."
Halfway through, Sun An realized that he was stupid, ridiculously stupid.
If the Li family could have stopped it, forty-five houses would have been burned down first?
Lao Chu is a real person. If you want to burn down your house, you must leave no stone behind.
There was still half of the wing room that had not been burned. Lao Chu felt that it was a pity that it was not perfect.
At this moment, the courtiers present finally recalled that Chu Wensheng, before serving as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry, was a general of the border army. The legend of this general of the frontier army was as horrifying as a fantasy.
Now that I think about it, those horrifying rumors are 80% true!
Twenty cavalry raided the three major tribes in the mountains, burned Li's house and captured Li Ke alive. Isn't it also so terrifying?
