259, Perverted Factory Worker 10

"Taifu Jiang, you are still too pedantic." Wan Qilan murmured softly after listening to her son's complaints.

She only wanted to find a good mentor for her son, and considering that Mr. Jiang had been in office for several years, when he retired, Yan Chu had not yet made a name for himself in the previous dynasty, so her grudge against Yan Chu would not be too deep.

But she had forgotten that Mr. Jiang was angry and sued because he couldn't stand Emperor Cheng Qing's stupidity. With his temperament, how could he watch a eunuch like Yan Chu take charge of the court?

Wan Qilan thought about it, his son couldn't have only Mr. Jiang as the emperor's master. Before, he thought that only a pure minister could make people feel at ease. But now that he thought about it, Qier had become the emperor, and it was even more important for him to have hundreds of flowers blooming around him.

The previous number one scholar, Mo Xun, the current editor of the Hanlin Academy, was a student of Yan Chu. He was quite talented and proficient in arithmetic. Jiang Guanglu, a great scholar in the palace, learned from his eight-legged essay. He was a bit mediocre, but he was able to achieve his current position by playing both ways. , that’s what he’s about…

Wan Qilan crossed many names in her heart. It is not a good thing for an emperor to stand alone. Only when there are many people with their own concerns can Qier know that being an emperor cannot listen to one side or believe the other. What is more important is to think for oneself. , plus those people have their own persistence and different likes and dislikes for Yan Chu. With the influence of those people, the emperor can learn to look at that man with his own eyes.

Wan Qilan doesn't think that the son of the Yan family, Yan Chu, will really do something that will endanger the great business community. Even if he wants revenge and is blinded by hatred, he will not bet on the common people, so as long as the emperor looks at it carefully When you see him, you will realize how naive and ridiculous your previous prejudices and misunderstandings against him were.

As for what Yan Chu did to the Zongzheng royal family, Wan Qilan will naturally describe it later. The emperor will not know the role Yan Chu played in the affairs of his eldest brother, the third emperor and the emperor. She does not want her to The two people I cherish the most are on the path of enmity.

"Mother!"

Zongzheng Qingqi couldn't help but grab Wan Qilan's sleeves like a child, "Why are you talking to that eunuch? Is it possible that you, my majestic emperor, still have to listen to his mercy?"

In fact, the scene that happened in the imperial study room today had a great impact on Zongzheng Qingqi. At least he recognized Xiao Chu's ability and realized that Xiao Chu's ability to reach his current position was not entirely due to his father's favor. .

There was a hint of admiration in his heart, but more of it was fear.

"Walls have ears."

Wan Qilan's originally smiling face faded, and it felt very uncomfortable to hear her beloved son calling Yan Chu that way.

"I know, Queen Mother."

Zongzheng Qingqi's face fell. He was no longer the emperor, and he still had to look at the eunuch Xiao Chu's eyes.

In the past, the people in the harem and front court would hide their flattery and admiration for Xiao Chu, but now they are shouting nine thousand years old, which is just one step away from him. If he is not an eunuch, I am afraid that he will directly overthrow him as the puppet emperor and himself Ascended.

With Wan Qilan's intelligence, she could certainly see that her son was not sincere in what he said. She felt a little tired in her heart, but she still cheered up and wanted to untie her son's knot.

"Do you think Governor Xiao's criticism of you today was wrong?" Wan Qilan looked at her son and asked.

Zongzheng Qingqi wanted to say yes, but his mouth moved for a long time, and he was embarrassed to say the word yes.

Everything the other party said made sense, and it was his ingenuity that prevented the victims of the Eastern Province from rioting. At this time, it would be too cold to say that he did.

But Zongzheng Qingqi was still a little unhappy. He was the emperor. Shouldn't Xiao Chu teach him these things in advance? As long as he taught him, he would understand. No one is born to be the emperor, let alone him. He is still young, so he must be given a chance to learn.

"Are you blaming Governor Xiao for not telling you what to do after the news of the drought in Eastern Province came out?"

Zongzheng Qingqi was born to Wan Qilan, so she didn't know what he was thinking.

"But have you ever thought about it, you are the emperor. If Governor Xiao needs to think clearly about these things before telling you, then what is the point of being the emperor? Why doesn't he overthrow you and become the emperor himself?"

Wan Qilan's overly straightforward words made Zongzheng Qingqi turn pale. He was still a young man, how could he bear the fact that his mother and concubine, who had always loved him, stood on the side of the enemy and ridiculed him and looked down on him.

"He is just a eunuch. He wants to be an emperor. Can the courtiers obey him? Can the people obey him?"

Zongzheng Qingqi gritted his teeth, feeling stubborn in his heart. His mother and concubine no longer loved him, and the little emperor felt aggrieved.

"Then why doesn't he drive you out of power and replace him with a more obedient and more controllable emperor? With his current control over the previous dynasty, he wants you and me to die silently in the harem without causing any trouble at all. There are protests from the outside world, but you, your fifth emperor brother, and other members of the Zongzheng royal family, among whom there are even babies in their infancy, none of those people are more convinced by him than you, even because of him After giving them the throne, they will still be grateful to him.”

This time, Wan Qilan was determined and did not hold him in her arms and comfort him softly just because he showed aggrieved expression.

"He still retains Mr. Jiang as your imperial master and is willing to guide you instead of blindly indulging you and spoiling you into a foolish king who has great ambitions but little talent and is useless to the country. That means that he is not as bad as you think. He The ambition is not as big as you think.”

"He, he may, maybe he has other conspiracies."

Zongzheng Qingqi has been somewhat convinced by Wan Qilan, the queen mother, because the words Yan Chu said when he left the imperial study room during the day came to his mind. He was waiting for him to take back the Zongzheng royal family from his hands. , does this make it clear that the other party will not deliberately suppress him?

But the boy's stubbornness made him speak out, and he didn't want to give in so easily during the argument with his mother.

Just because of his guilty conscience, the order of his words was stumbling and he was not so sure.

"Qier, look at it with your heart. Don't you want to be a wise king who will be remembered forever? Distinguishing between loyalty and treachery is your first lesson. What is good and what is bad? Everything in this world is not It's all black and white. What you see and hear may not all be true. The queen mother hopes that you can put aside those inherent prejudices and take a serious look at it. Governor Xiao, is it really the supernormal cholera that others say? He is a traitor, but he is also a capable minister with the ability to govern the world. "

Wan Qilan pinched her son's shoulders and said solemnly: "But if you want to be an excellent emperor, you must learn to control all kinds of ministers. Not all of them are loyal to the royal family. No. Few people have their own small thoughts and ambitions, but this does not prevent you from appreciating their abilities. How to correctly use the abilities of those people for your own use is the way of the emperor that you should learn. When will you wait? , if you can make Governor Xiao work for you, then you will be a successful emperor."

Wan Qilan's words opened a door to a new world for Zongzheng Qingqi. He couldn't help but imagine the scene where he stood in the Jinluan Palace and talked, while Xiao Chu looked at him with admiration below.

The feeling of frustration was gone, Zongzheng Qingqi suddenly felt that he had a new goal.

Didn't Xiao Chu ask him to take back the power of the Zongzheng royal family from him? Not only did he want to take back the rights that belonged to him as the emperor, he also wanted him to surrender to him sincerely.

Zongzheng Qingqi clenched his fists and swore secretly in his heart.

Of course, all this must start with studying hard. The gap between him and Xiao Chu is too big. Zongzheng Qingqi doesn't believe it. In a few years or more than ten years, he will still not be able to compare with Xiao Chu. This eunuch.

*****

"Where do you want to take Gu Gu?"

Zongzheng Qingqi tugged at the rough outer shirt he was wearing. Although the shirt he was wearing underneath was still fine silk satin, the collar of the outer shirt kept rubbing against the delicate skin on his neck, making it itchy and numb. Qingqi couldn't help but reach out and pull her collar.

I don't know what happened to Xiao Chu. He asked the palace servants to help him put on such clothes and took him out of the palace. Apart from him and a few guards, there was no one else around.

Zongzheng Qingqi couldn't help but worry that the other party saw that he had been studying hard recently, felt pressure, and wanted to take him, the emperor, out of the palace to silence him.

Thinking like this, Zongzheng Qingqi ignored the discomfort on his neck and stared at Xiao Chu warily, trying to get some clues from the other person's expression.

"Now outside the palace, Your Majesty, please call yourself me. As for our current identities, I am Mr. Xiao, a traveling merchant, and you are my son, Mr. Xiao."

Yan Chu also changed into regular clothes. Compared with the noble Zong Zheng Qingqi, he was obviously more adaptable to the clothing that was not luxurious, but definitely not inferior. He held an ancient book and sat on the carriage. Read slowly.

"Be bold!"

Zongzheng Qingqi was furious. This eunuch dared to call himself his father. He was so bold and ambitious.

"Um."

Yan Chu looked away from the ancient book and glanced at Zong Zheng Qingqi indifferently.

"Huh, just this once."

With just one look, Zongzheng Qingqi became sluggish, and the previous anger suddenly disappeared.

People under the eaves had to bow their heads. Now they were outside the palace, and the guards around them were all Xiao Chu's people. It would do him no good to anger him.

Zongzheng Qingqi lowered his head and grabbed the outer shirt on his body, gritting his teeth, and became a ball of anger.

The author has something to say: That's all for today. I want to change myself. I must finish coding the three regular updates before ten o'clock tomorrow. This will definitely not be a flag (hopefully). I feel like I want to stay up late again and again. It’s also a tragedy to resist and then relapse after getting better for a while.
