Chapter 363, on winning or losing
The family went out, and Chu Taifu was distracted under the lamp for a while before going back to sleep.
The next day, Chu Huaixian knew about this and came to see his father. Chu Taifu didn't say anything more to him. He straightened his clothes and said, "Let me go to the palace."
Lord Taifu goes to the palace to lecture for the emperor every day. Today, Chu Taifu pretended not to know what happened yesterday and was about to speak. The emperor spoke first, with anger in a childish voice: "Taifu, three years of national mourning, and many ministers were entertained last night, which really made me and the empress dowager sad."
Chu Taifu smiled and did not say "relatives or sadness", but said, "What does the emperor mean?" The emperor squeezed his lips hard: "I asked General Yuan, the general on duty, to catch it last night, and I was thinking about how to punish him. It's so annoying! The late emperor has not left for more than a month, and they are so lawless!"
The little emperor felt that words alone could not express his anger, and his toes stepped on the ground again.
"The emperor can listen to the comments of hundreds of officials." Although Chu Taifu was the prince, he never made up his own decision when something happened. He thought about it quickly before listening to King Liang's idea first.
The king of Liang and the late emperor have a deep affection, and the king of Liang is still grieving. Chu Taifu was afraid of what the king of Liang said, but he was still more ruthless than the little emperor
This was said by Chu Taifu. The little emperor hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm afraid that as the Prime Minister said, they want to read other people's songs." Chu Taifu smiled, just like his news, this was the first thing for Prime Minister Zhang to stand up after the death of the emperor. Taking down Brother Yu's boring building is also a small way to give Lord Chu Taifu a majesty.
"Since it was said by the Prime Minister, does the Prime Minister have other ideas to present to the emperor?" Chu Taifu wanted to be lucky. If he didn't know one day in advance, he was afraid that he would also talk about his relatives or sadness.
The little emperor was embarrassed: "It was the prime minister who only said how to take people and how to punish these people. Taifu is my master. I think I should consult Taifu about this matter.
Chu Taifu does not think this is a difficult problem, but a good opportunity for him to educate the little emperor. He said, "For three years of national mourning, it is forbidden to have fun. Officials should not be guilty of breaking the law. The emperor should be dismissed according to the law, and he will be sent to prison. According to the law is a simple thing, but one thing is difficult.
The little emperor said, "Master, please speak." Chu Taifu deliberately muttered, "I don't know how many officials the emperor has arrested?" The little emperor said, "There were 124 officials arrested last night, including hundreds of ordinary businessmen." The emperor was a little excited: "The prison is full."
"Your Majesty, these 124 people should be in six parts." Chu Taifu said that the little emperor nodded and wanted to scold: "Exactly, there are more than a dozen people above the fourth grade, which is really unreasonable. I always look at good people, and it's the same.
Chu Taifu smiled and said, "This is really strange. How can the officials do this? Don't they understand, or are they looking forward to being dismissed? The emperor thought twice that the people left behind by the late emperor were all officials used by the late emperor. If there is anything inappropriate, it will not be left to the emperor.
The little emperor was silent. While silent, the eunuchs replied, "King Liang, see you." King Liang came in and said in the first sentence, "Lord Taifu is also here." He turned his face and asked the emperor, "What happened to arresting people all over the city last night?"
The little emperor who was reminded by Chu Taifu had to say: "It was what the Prime Minister said, thinking that there was no previous emperor in these people's eyes, so he arrested him."
A trace of anger appeared on the king's face and said to the emperor, "Officials shouldn't be, but if you arrest so many people at once, who will do something for the emperor? It's not the same way to punish people.
"What should I do, Uncle Yi?" The little emperor had no idea. The king of Liang also turned to Chu Taifu: "What does Lord Taifu mean?" Chu Taifu smiled and said, "Of course, those who should be punished will be discouraged. The emperor can remember these people, and then mention them after a few days, so that they will certainly remember the emperor's kindness.
This word came to Empress Dowager Zhang's ears in the afternoon, and Prime Minister Zhang Cheng smiled and said to Empress Dowager Zhang, "Look at how it goes, this work has become Lord Chu Taifu's again. If the officials heard that he said this, who would they be grateful to? And the Empress Dowager can watch it. In a few days, Lord Fu will definitely promote a group of officials. Lord Taifu has always been cunning and profound.
Empress Dowager Zhang listened to this and was a little suspicious of Chu Taifu. Shortly after the death of the former emperor, the ministers were unauthorized. What should the little emperor do?
Chu Taifu went out of the palace at night and went to his family in prison to report: "That woman is going to be locked up for a few days, and all the people in the boring building have been released." Chu Taifu sneered: "It's good to let people out. This matter is already clear. Those who are always sad, let them live and die."
The family also smiled: "Yes, I looked at her all night. I'm gone today. I don't think she will have a better life." Chu Taifu turned around and said to Chu Huaixian, "That's it. If we don't investigate, she has no way."
Xiaochu waited in front of him and saw his father-in-law and Chu Huaixian coming back. Yingying thanked him: "Thank you for your hard work." Chu Shaofu did not blame her, but said kindly, "You don't have to be afraid. There are few things you have done when you are young. This is nothing." Xiaochu was moved and bowed his head and said, "Yes."
Chu Shaofu said to go back to his room. Chu Huaixian sent his father back and also came to comfort Xiaochu: "Don't worry, be careful in the future." Xiaochu smiled at Chu Huaixian and said, "I still want to bet with Zheng Erguan."
"Think slowly, I'm afraid you won't have an idea until tomorrow morning." Chu Huaixian also joked and left Xiaochu to think about it with her.
The next day, Xiaochu went to the boring upstairs to see the guys. From the stew manager to the guys, they were all black and blue: "We can't open the door today. We can't treat guests with this face."
Xiao Chu was comforting them, and Zheng Erguan came up. The second official also comforted Xiaochu in this matter and cheered Xiaochu: "Don't think it's great for you to find an official. There are many people who are right and wrong. Not at home, and there are many outside. This is called defense. You are young and unprepared.
The warm Xiaochu in his heart did not forget to reply to his words: "Where is there no right and wrong?" Zheng Erguan shook his head: "Is this wrong? Well, if you don't open today, my business will take a day off, won't it?"
Xiaochu laughed, turned his face and saw that the stew manager Zhuang and the guys were beaten, and he was silent again.
After Chu Huaixian knew about it, he said to Xiaochu, "Give them a few taels of silver soup and medicine, and rest for a few days to wash the table and bench floor. After opening for so long, there has been a smell of vegetables. In the past few days, you have been resting at home and thinking about how to win your bet. If you don't win, don't come to me. I won't help you.
"I'm still looking for your help." Xiaochu smiled. Chu Huaixian was surprised: "Do you have an idea? No way, is it so fast?" Xiaochu is not sure: "I don't know if it will work, but it still won't work without you." Seeing that she was still lancholy, Chu Huaixian deliberately teased Xiaochu and said, "Can I not help?"
Xiaochu barely smiled energetically and came to hug Chu Huaixian: "No." Buried his head in Chu Huaixian's arms, Xiaochu suddenly asked, "Does my father have many political enemies?"
"This is not what you should ask," Chu Huaixian combed Xiaochu's hair with his fingers and said softly, "I was careless, and my father also told me that he was careless."
Xiaochu, who was moved in his heart, bit his lip and said, "It's not such a thing." After leaning in this arms for a while, he also realized his gaffe and searched for a joke: "The second official told me that a guest said the day before yesterday that he came here admiration. As a result, this is a local rich man. He likes fireworks and willow green most. After that, he doesn't understand and feels that antiques are expensive. He didn't want to buy it, but strange people. He said that not everyone said that the sign was so high that he would not come. Zheng Erguan was half-deathly angry with him and complained to me for a long time.
Chu Huaixian helped Xiaochu joke: "This is a person who doesn't have eyes," Xiaochu said, "No, it doesn't cost money for nothing, and no one invites him to see it. On the contrary, he said that he was cheated. This person not only doesn't have eyes, but also an idiot, or a fool has a bunch of fools.
"Look at it for nothing, and say you have been deceived?" Chu Huaixian also laughed and scolded: "This bastard!" Xiaochu took a long breath, suddenly hugged Chu Huaixian and kissed him, and whispered in his ear.
The moonlight curtain shone on Mr. Chu's smile. Mr. Chu had both appreciation and love. He stroked Xiaochu's head and boasted, "What a smart girl." Xiaochu asked again tentatively, "Is it feasible?" Chu Huaixian said, "I think it's feasible. You can ask Zheng Er to wash those cloths again, wipe out the musty smell, and recruit some people who can make needle fingers to do it together. When it's done, I'll find someone."
"I've figured it out. I don't know what to do with the oil paper." Xiaochu said this, and Chu Huaixian kissed her gently: "No, you must have an idea tomorrow."
As soon as he said this, Xiaochu said "ha": "I thought of it." When Chu Huaixian said in his ear, Chu Huaixian hesitated: "Is this okay?"
Xiaochu pointed his finger on his forehead: "Maybe it would be better to think about the waterproof place." Chu Huaixian shook Xiaochu gently and praised her: "It's really smart."
After stopping for a few days, the boring building reopened. The uncle of the big country's face darkened when he heard someone say it. This building is a few days off. The newspaper said that it was actually newer than the new one.
