When the government dismissed the court, Chu Qing was still sitting at the door of Zhaoyang Palace and taking a nap.
Just now he asked the little eunuch passing by when the Supreme Emperor would get up.
The little eunuch said that after noon, Chu Qing asked why he got up so late, and the former said that he went to bed late.
Chu Qing asked another nonsense question, why did the Supreme Emperor sleep so late?
The little eunuch said, let's play, have fun, drink, and have fun. The emperor has been very generous these days, asking the internal affairs supervisor to buy good wine outside the palace every day, and drink it with a group of concubines until midnight.
Chu Qing was helpless.
He knew the reason why the Supreme Emperor was so generous.
No matter what virtue or ability I have, I can actually affect the work and rest time of the Supreme Emperor and the concubines in the harem.
The old eunuch Sun Ping gently opened the palace door and came out. When he saw Chu Qing dozing there, he walked over with a smile.
"It's Commander Chu. Our Sun Ping has met Commander Chu."
Chu Qing turned his head and knew that the old eunuch was a personal attendant of the Supreme Emperor. He quickly stood up and said hello: "Eunuch Sun."
"Commander Chu is here to find the Supreme Emperor?"
Chu Qing nodded.
No, I didn’t come to Zhaoyang Palace to look for the Supreme Emperor. I came to buy washing powder. It’s unnecessary for me to ask.
"How about our family is awakened by the Supreme Emperor?"
Chu Qing shook his head repeatedly: "Eunuch Sun, please stop making trouble. How can any minister ask the Supreme Emperor to get up? In this way, I have something to do outside the palace, so I will go back first. There is nothing important to see the Supreme Emperor. I just want to talk to the Supreme Emperor in a few days."
Isn't it his birthday today? I'll ask the Emperor what he likes, and I'll get it for him."
Sun Ping's smile grew thicker: "Commander Chu is interested. Okay, we will bring the message to our family after the Emperor wakes up."
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Eunuch Sun."
Just as Chu Qing was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly hesitated and asked tentatively: "By the way, Eunuch Sun, do you want money?"
"ah?"
"Oh, I think you have to pay the father-in-law to enter the palace, otherwise the father-in-law will talk nonsense or something. I have been here several times, but I have never given it to you. I am wondering if you want it. If so, I will give you some.
Son."
Sun Ping: “…”
"If you don't talk, you don't want it anymore. Then I'm leaving. Bye."
Looking at Chu Qing's leaving figure, Sun Ping couldn't laugh or cry. This was the first time he had seen such a weird thing after so many years of service. No wonder the emperor was so interested in this little thing. He couldn't escape.
When Chu Qing left the palace, all the ministers were going down to court and heading out of the palace.
After seeing the ministers of Dali Temple, Chu Qing quickly ran a few steps and shouted: "Master Tao, wait a minute."
Many of the courtiers who were walking outside the palace turned around, and an inspector frowned and said loudly: "Who is so ignorant of etiquette and dares to make noise in the palace..."
Chu Qing stopped and squinted his eyes: "What?"
When the inspector saw that it was Chu Qing, his face was expressionless: "What are you shouting for? Deputy Commander Chu wants to call whomever, I will just call you."
"You are not needed."
Chu Qing rolled his eyes and caught up with Tao Shaozhang, who was slightly excited after stopping.
"How is it? Is it done?" Chu Qing was also very excited: "What did the emperor say and what did the courtiers say?"
Tao Shaozhang took Chu Qing to a place where no one was around, and puffed out his chest: "Brother Yu, he always does things without leakage. If I take action, it will be easy to catch him. The emperor has already issued a decree. The Ministry of Rites will send people to Hucheng to count the Dingkou years ago.
Measure the land."
"Better Buddha!" Chu Qing smiled and was very surprised. He didn't expect Tao Shaozhang to be so awesome.
Tao Shaozhang's face was full of color: "Not only that, that treacherous minister was severely impeached by Brother Yu. The emperor said that if he makes mistakes again, he will submit a letter to resign."
"Really or not, are you so fierce?"
"It's natural. That old dog Cao Wu stood in the palace after being impeached by me, like the wind..."
"Wait a minute." Chu Qing was stunned: "Cao Wu... why are you impeaching Cao Wu?"
Tao Shaozhang laughed: "Brother Yu, this is called capturing the thief first, capture the king first. Then Yu Tianlun, the minister of Honglu Temple, is nothing. He is just a minister under the Ministry of Rites. Brother Yu was too lazy to deal with him and impeached Cao Wu directly."
Chu Qing grinned widely, completely confused in the wind.
"How is it? Brother Xian is so shocked, but he is full of admiration for Brother Yu and is so impressed." Not to mention Tao Shaozhang's proud attitude, his face was filled with the expression "please praise me, please praise me".
"Dad Tao..." Chu Qing swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Well, do you think what I said is right? You went to court and did not mention Yu Tianlun. You gave it to Cao Wu, the Minister of Rites, and the emperor scolded Cao Wu.
Is that what you mean?"
"That's right, Brother Yu spent the whole night checking the documents and never fights without preparation. Today in the court..."
Before Tao Shaozhang finished speaking, Chu Qing ran away and chased outside the palace.
As if being chased by a dog, Chu Qing ran wildly.
Tao Shaozhang looked confused.
Why...why did you run away before you even praised me?
Chu Qing chased all the way outside the palace, looked around, and finally saw the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and also saw Cao Wu, whose back looked like he had aged by more than ten years. Old Cao had just gotten into the sedan, and he was a little shaky when he walked.
Chu Qing quickly ran over, stopped the sedan bearer, and opened the sedan curtain directly.
Cao Wu in the sedan chair was startled, and when he saw it was Chu Qing, he became furious.
"Well, you are the commander of the Thousand Cavalry Camp..."
"Uncle Cao, I want to say that this matter in the political hall today has nothing to do with me. Do you believe me?"
Cao Wu was stunned for a moment, then became angry again.
I believe you are a ghost, you are doing this again, it’s not over anymore, is it?
Chu Qing was kicked by the bearer of the sedan chair, and he half-opened his body and got into the sedan chair.
Cao Wu quickly stepped back with a look of shock on his face: "What are you going to do? This is outside the palace!"
"No, I have to explain it clearly to you. This matter really has nothing to do with me."
Chu Qing was so anxious that he spoke very fast: "Yesterday I told Tao Shaozhang about the Hunu tribe and asked him to impeach Yu Tianlun, the minister of Honglu Temple today, but this idiot checked the information all night and thought that Honglu Temple was
Your Ministry of Rites is under the jurisdiction of the government office, and you said that to capture the thief first, capture the king, so I didn’t mention Yu Tianlun at all, and just gave it to you. Also, yesterday I wrote to several officials from the Ministry of Revenue and Mr. Ma Ruima, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion.
I received the letter and asked them to help Tao Shaozhang impeach Yu Tianlun today depending on the situation, but I didn’t write Yu Tianlun’s name, so...so this matter is a misunderstanding."
Looking at Cao Wu cautiously, Chu Qing asked weakly: "If I say this, can you...believe it?"
Cao Wu narrowed his eyes and stared at Chu Qing for a long while, then... nodded slightly.
Chu Qing looked confused: "Do you believe it?"
Cao Wu spoke, his teeth chattering: "That bastard Tao Shaozhang... I have been serving as a minister in the court for so long, I can see that there seems to be something wrong with his brain!"
"Uh..." Chu Qing's face was full of shame. Even Cao Wu could see it, but he actually ignored it.
Looking at Chu Qing who was sneering, Cao Wu was full of evil fire and was even angrier than he was in the palace just now.
I don't know about this, he felt that he was fooled by Chu Qing. Strictly speaking, it was a failure in the imperial war.
In the war between the two dynasties, all means are used.
But after knowing the truth, he was even more upset. He was so damn wronged.
Looking at Chu Qing who was smiling with embarrassment, Cao Wu suddenly laughed again.
"That's all, since the matter has already happened, what's the use of talking about it."
Cao Wu's smile was actually a bit free and easy, and he waved his hand slightly: "Outside the palace, the officials are still watching. How can you get into my official sedan, and leave."
Chu Qing looked suspicious: "Aren't you angry?"
"I'm angry, no matter how angry I am, but even though I was scolded by the emperor, it can make the court pay attention to the Hunv tribe. It doesn't matter if I lose some face. The court does owe a lot to the Hunv tribe."
Chu Qing was silent for a long time, exited the sedan chair, straightened his clothes in front of the ministers, and bent down to salute.
In the official sedan, Cao Wu stroked his beard and laughed, and the congestion in his chest disappeared.
The bearer lifted the official sedan and Chu Qing watched it go.
Tao Shaozhang, who had just walked out of the palace gate, walked over quickly with a look of confusion on his face.
"My dear brother, why are you saluting that old dog?"
