Chapter 713: The Prince of Qing Dynasty Who Once Gained Power
"What's going on?" the emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, regarding the investigation of King Zhou's horse startling incident at the palace gate, I have found out some things. Please take a look at it!" Chu Qing took out the fold from his sleeve and presented it respectfully.
A eunuch came to take it, then went back and spread it flat in front of the imperial court.
The emperor lowered his head and read ten lines at a time. The more he looked, the worse his face became. When he finished, his face turned livid with anger. He slapped his hand heavily on the table and said sternly: "Check, we must find out. This small barbaric country actually has... How dare you interfere in my internal affairs!"
It was actually similar to my guess. How could the emperor not be angry?
"But, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I won't be able to find out what's going on here!" Chu Qing said cautiously.
"If there is anything that cannot be investigated, you are sent by me to investigate the matter. You don't have to take into account anyone's face. If you find anyone who dares to pass through this wild and small country, report it immediately!" The emperor said angrily.
Changxingcao, indeed there are traces of Changxingcao. It is said that this is a small piece obtained from the sleeve pocket of the clothes Chu Liuzhou wore that day. It is very small and is caught in the seam of the clothes. Even if the clothes are checked, However, it was not found out before. This time, a doctor from Chu Liuzhou's house found out.
When I took off my clothes, I didn't send them to be cleaned. I just checked them briefly and put them aside. I didn't expect that this investigation would reveal this matter.
The evergreen grass in Ao country seems to have collided with the horse scare incident in his own country, and the lack of evergreen grass in the collection could not be found out for a while.
Chu Qing even suggested that someone might have found new Evergreen grass, and it was not the evergreen grass that was in the treasury before. Those Evergreen grasses had been there for so many years and were not that fresh, but the short section he found didn't feel that old. .
This made the emperor even more angry. After asking Chu Qing to withdraw the investigation of the matter, he scolded the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty again, scolding them for not doing their job properly and only catching wind and shadows outside, but they didn't know how to do anything serious.
Of course, the one who was scolded the most was Duke Xingguo, who praised Chu Qing greatly, and even left Chu Qing to talk to the imperial study after he retired from the court.
This is an honor, and it means that he slowly enters the emperor's heart and reaches the center of power.
Chu Qing concealed the excitement in her heart and followed the imperial driver to the imperial study. After arriving at the imperial study, the emperor encouraged him again, and then asked with a smile: "How do you plan to deal with the events of that day? Finally, the country is rejuvenated. For girls in the government, if things drag on for too long, it will be worse for everyone."
"What the Emperor said was..." Chu Qing was stunned for a moment before he remembered the matter and hurriedly knelt down and came back, "But the matter of the young lady from Duke Xingguo's mansion falling into the water..."
He did not directly blame which young lady fell into the water. He did not believe that the emperor really knew nothing about what happened in the palace.
"Indeed, although the second young lady of the Shao Mansion is a concubine, she can still enter your house!" The emperor smiled, with a kind look on his face, as if he was really talking to him about family matters.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Chu Qing's eyes. The emperor's words showed that he had to admit Shao Jie'er even if he didn't, and it was absolutely impossible for Shao Yanru.
The person he rescued at that time was obviously the eldest lady of Duke Xingguo's palace, but no one in the palace was willing to marry Shao Yanru, so it turned out that the person he rescued was Shao Jie'er.
He lowered his head and said respectfully: "Only according to the emperor's orders!"
He had to listen to the emperor's orders and finally got the emperor's attention. He couldn't let this matter spoil the emperor's mind. Even though he looked down on Shao Jie'er, he had to deal with it.
"Speaking of this, you also have good intentions. You can't suffer a loss because of your good intentions. How about the concubine of Duke Xingguo's palace as a concubine?" The emperor asked with a smile, his attitude was very calm, exactly like the way he was discussing matters in the main hall just now. different.
But even so, Chu Qing did not dare to be scornful and said: "Yes, it just so happens that my mother and concubine have arranged a wife for me early!"
It was just a side room. Chu Qing still breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was unwilling to do so, it could only be so.
"Has your mother-in-law made a marriage arrangement for you?" The emperor was stunned. He really didn't know about this.
"Yes, she is the daughter of a family who was kind to the mother-in-law. It was just a verbal agreement before, and she thought she might see him, so she didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law actually saw someone in the past few days. Why? I was originally going to report this matter to the emperor, but I was busy with King Zhou’s affairs, so I forgot about it!”
Chu Qingdao.
"Is there such a thing? That's a good thing. I was thinking of choosing a famous lady to be your concubine, but I already have one!" The emperor nodded repeatedly.
He actually doesn't care about his nephew. It just sounds nice to say it. Selecting a few more women during the draft will not affect the overall situation. Of course, the one he wants to select will not be A lady from a famous family, like Shao Yanru, would never be betrothed to Chu Qing, lest she inflate some people's ideas.
How can you be a good family if you book someone at a time of crisis? The Emperor is very happy to make it happen. It is best to book a concubine with a shallow foundation, the better. When I was still thinking about drafting a girl, I lowered the conditions a little bit. This way Only then could he choose the suitable Princess Qingjun, but Chu Qing solved this troublesome problem for himself.
Chu Qing is indeed a man who can do things. He needs such a person, but he does not need someone who is ambitious. Several of his sons are already fighting with each other to the point of blushing, so there is no need for outsiders to step in.
The uncle, nephew, monarch, and minister were talking happily. Chu Qing had a brisk smile on his face when he went out. This time, he solved three things at once, which was an unexpected surprise.
He has always been undecided about Shao Jie'er's matter, but now it has been settled. The status of a concubine is similar to that of his mother. As for the choice of the concubine, although he is not very satisfied, his mother is very satisfied, and There are other uses as well.
Originally, if Duke Xingguo's Palace agreed to marry Shao Yanru to him, he would never bring this matter to Duke Xingguo's Palace, but now it is Shao Jie'er who enters the palace, and she is also a clear fake. From this point of view, Duke Xingguo couldn't stand up in front of him.
Let alone a concubine, or a worse status, they would not disagree, but this was what the emperor said, and he had to listen to the emperor's words.
The status of a concubine is a little inferior, and she is not valued by Duke Xingguo, but she is still of the bloodline of Duke Xingguo, and will always have some care, especially under certain specific circumstances, which may not be infinitely magnified.
Thinking of what his mother-in-law had said to her before, he felt relieved. He could wait, just wait slowly. He had waited for so many years, so how could he not be able to wait any longer.
"Your Highness, please be careful."
"My lord, please go to this slave."
"Your Highness..." A warm and fawning voice came from not far away. Chu Qing stopped and looked at an intersection not far away.
Chu Liuchen was turning around the intersection, wearing a flamboyant and gorgeous snow fox cloak, a gorgeous brocade robe, and even though his lip color was as light as Qinghua, it still made people feel noble and extraordinary.
Several young eunuchs were waiting in front of him and trying to fawn over him.
He was afraid that Chu Liuchen would step on it and slip accidentally.
As if sensing that Chu Qing was looking at him, Chu Liuchen stopped, turned his head and narrowed his long eyes. After taking a look at him, he continued to walk forward, ignoring the man who was about to salute and smile. Chu Qing.
"Your Majesty!" The accompanying little eunuch saw that Chu Qing's face was not very good and whispered.
"Let's go!" Chu Qing calmed down, suppressed the jealousy in her heart, and said slowly.
He is just a sick man who is about to die. Why should he argue with him? No matter how much he fights, this sick man will never get better. Is it possible that he can really get into that position?
Useless idiot!
After Chu Qing cursed secretly, he moved his feet and continued to walk out. He asked in a casual tone: "Is His Highness King Chen feeling well?"
"This servant really doesn't know. I heard that His Highness King Chen must go back to the palace, and neither the Queen Mother nor the Emperor is allowed to do so. But His Highness King Chen must go, and there is nothing the Emperor and Queen Mother can do!"
The little eunuch who led the way smiled.
Who in this palace doesn't know that the Queen Mother and the Emperor dote on His Highness Chen Wang like a ball in his eye. Even though His Highness Chen Wang is in poor health, no one dares to look down upon him, especially in the open. when.
"The imperial grandmother and uncle love Prince Chen so much?" Chu Qing asked with a surprised look on his face, calmly using a title that would bring him closer to the queen and the queen mother.
"That's not what you said. The Queen Mother and the Emperor feel very sorry for His Highness King Chen. If they find anything good, they will send it to His Highness, even if the other princes sometimes don't have it." The little eunuch smiled. He said, and then looked at Chu Liuchen's disappearing back, "Who allowed His Highness King Chen to be favored? I heard before that I had to choose a concubine for His Highness King Chen first, so the Queen Mother could rest assured and let the other princes choose!" "
"What's so important about this?" Chu Qing's heart moved.
"There's nothing particular about it, I just can't worry about His Highness Chen Wang. I always hope that His Highness Chen Wang will choose the best one!" the little eunuch replied.
Pick the best one? Shao Yanru?
Chu Qing thought of Shao Yanru for some reason, and a hint of faint pride flashed in his eyes. When he went into the water, he deliberately hugged Shao Yanru tightly and wouldn't let go. Shao Yanru's reputation was ruined, and he was no longer clean. Chu Liu No matter how favored Chen was, he still had to pick up the woman whose reputation he had ruined.
"The eldest lady of Duke Xingguo's mansion?" he asked calmly.
"It can't be the eldest lady of Duke Xingguo's mansion. I heard that the eldest lady is either this princess or that princess. It can't be His Royal Highness King Chen!" The little eunuch shook his head, cleverly stretched out a finger, and then stretched out his finger again. Pull out another finger.
The first one is Chu Liuyue, the second one is Chu Liuzhou!
"Miss Shao is the best among women, it's not easy to get married!" After the young eunuch finished speaking, he added this sentence with envy on his face.
The best among women? The latter can be called a phoenix. The eldest lady of the Xingguo Duke's mansion has great intentions, but this is better. Shao Jie'er should have made preparations in advance...
