Chapter 15 I only want the throne, not favor (15)
After Qin Yin and Hua Shan left, Qi Yi sat beside Chu Wan Qing and leisurely opened her sachet: "Thanks for your good memory."
I still remember the prescriptions from all these years.
Chu Wanqing nodded: "At that time, I thought, it's better to be prepared."
At that time, there was only Li Hong in her heart. She wanted to marry him with all her heart, but she also understood the reason behind him marrying her.
With the support of the Chu family, he sits on the throne and she is the queen.
She has to keep some cards for herself.
But she ultimately overestimated Li Hong's humanity. He was the ultimate in abandoning someone after they had done their job.
He didn't want to let anyone from the Li family go.
"I know what you're thinking. I'll keep this a secret so no one can find any evidence against me."
Since the other party already knows about their queen's sachet, the sachet cannot disappear out of thin air, and her queen has to continue wearing it.
Qi Yi replaced the two medicinal ingredients inside, turning it into another kind of sachet for nourishing the body.
Even if Li Hong went to investigate, he would not be able to find any problems.
Li Hong in the imperial study was rubbing his brows in frustration. He had not expected that the Chu family would actually rebound.
"Your Majesty, would you like to have a cup of hot tea and take a break?" The person serving Li Hong was his father-in-law who had been with him since he was a child.
Li Hong waved his hand, holding the memorial in his hand: "Come here, summon the Right Censor-in-Chief to the palace!"
He just didn't believe that he couldn't find the trouble with the Chu family.
When he was angry, Li Hong was also angry that the Gao family sent the brainless Gao Min into the palace.
Without Gao Min's slap, the Chu family's reputation would never be restored!
The Censorate is under the emperor's jurisdiction. It can be said that everyone can take sides, but the Censorate will not.
The news of Li Hongxuan's meeting with the Right Censor-in-Chief soon reached the Chu family.
Prime Minister Chu sat in the hall, sipping his tea leisurely. "It's alright. The Right Censor-in-Chief was your grandfather's disciple. Li Hong wanted to use him to impeach the Chu family, but I'm afraid he got the wrong person."
The reason why he didn't look for the Left Censor-in-Chief was because he was his disciple.
"How come my son doesn't know about this?" Even Big Brother Chu didn't know that the Right Censor-in-Chief was their grandfather's disciple...
Prime Minister Chu chuckled and said, "The Chu family has countless disciples, some are in the open, and some are not."
Because he accepted too many court officials as his disciples, Old Master Chu was afraid that the emperor would cause trouble for him.
Therefore, he would travel out of the capital four times every year. It was called travel, but in fact he was doing charity work and giving lectures to poor children who could not afford to go to school.
Unfortunately, there was one such Right Censor-in-Chief back then.
Brother Chu: “…” If you say so, it’s no wonder that the emperor is afraid of the Chu family.
If it were him, he would also be afraid, right?
"In fact, my father has long planned to retire, but the emperor is too impatient." Prime Minister Chu sighed.
Having been an official for so many years, how could he not know what the emperor was thinking?
His original intention was to arrange everything properly and once the emperor was firmly in power, he would retire to his hometown and open an academy to teach.
result?
"How is the war at the border going?" Prime Minister Chu looked at his third son.
He had four sons. The eldest son won the sixth place in the imperial examination and was a famous talent in the capital. At a young age, he had already reached the position of Hanlin Bachelor, a fifth-rank scholar.
The second son devoted himself to learning martial arts and was currently serving as a sixth-rank Zhaoxin school lieutenant.
The whole family knew that he would not rise high in his life, as the emperor would not allow one family to produce both civil officials and military generals.
As for the third brother...
Wu Xin Chao Tang is a leisurely businessman. Fortunately, he is successful in business, knows many people, and has connections.
This is why the Prime Minister of Chu asked this question.
"Gao Yansheng will be back in less than three months." Third Brother Chu sneered, "Li Hong's men are a bunch of losers. They've already backed out before Gao Yansheng's men even arrived."
Three months...
Prime Minister Chu frowned, nodded, and said nothing more.
"The fourth brother has always wanted to venture out into the world. The second brother should find two reliable people to follow him and let him go out and explore."
Chu Xiang's words made Brother Chu slightly stunned, and then he fell silent and agreed with Chu Xiang's statement.
Big Brother Chu tilted his head and looked at Big Brother Chu: "You should leave Beijing too."
The third brother was no longer an official in the court, so it was easy for him to leave the capital.
Of course, the third brother Chu understood what Prime Minister Chu and the eldest brother Chu meant. He and the fourth brother left the capital completely because Prime Minister Chu left a way out for the Chu family.
"I understand. I will start making arrangements tomorrow." He couldn't leave quickly. He had to wait until the fourth brother left Beijing.
In this way, he can follow the fourth brother, take care of him, and prevent Li Hong's men from killing him.
The fourth young master Chu was sitting in the hall, thinking that he could help.
However, when he looked at his three brothers, he understood that his father was leaving a descendant for the Chu family.
He couldn't be willful at this time.
If something happens in the capital, he and his third brother will be the last people in the Chu family, and they want revenge!
Unlike the fourth young master Chu, the third brother Chu understood that Prime Minister Chu made such an arrangement in order to keep them away from trouble and not let them be involved in the court again.
Is it possible?
However, Third Brother Chu thinks more and is more patient than Fourth Young Master Chu.
It can be said that the third brother Chu is the most scheming among the brothers of the Chu family, otherwise he would not have gone into business, because there are the eldest and second-in-command in the court.
He wanted to enter the court again, but it was difficult to make a name for himself.
Unless you become an official in a local area.
Doing business also leaves room for the Chu family's future. Merchants don't sound good, but they are good at finding out things.
"Don't worry, father. I will arrange everything." Brother Chu San said calmly.
Including the operations of merchants in the capital, he will not let Li Hong have an easy time.
Prime Minister Chu nodded. He was very confident in his third son. What worried him now was whether Chu Wanqing, who was alone in the palace and had no one to rely on, would contact the Chu family in the harem.
"I am not an ignorant girl. I will make plans early." Although Brother Chu did not approve of his younger sister taking risks.
The Chu family has been much more low-key since Chu Wanqing was deposed.
Many people in the capital were taking advantage of the situation, but the only one who was still in contact with the Chu family was the Yun family.
Prime Minister Chu was temporarily unable to understand the Yun family's attitude.
When the Yun family contacted the Chu family, Concubine Yun often went to Chu Wanqing.
Every time Chu Wanqing's attitude was cold, Yun Fei didn't care and was always warm to Chu Wanqing.
Even though Li Hong warned her repeatedly, she did not change her attitude.
In Cheng Shuhan's view, this kind of behavior is just naive.
But is Concubine Yun really a naive and innocent girl?
A legitimate daughter raised in a noble family can share equal prominence with Gao Min in the backyard and sit securely in the position of a concubine, which shows that she is not as simple as she seems.
Not only Cheng Shuhan thought so, Chu Wanqing also thought so.
Qin Yin was given another task, asking her to check whether Concubine Yun had contacted the Yun family recently and what they had contacted about.
Qinyin lived up to expectations and found out a lot of things that night.
At this time, Chu Wanqing was in a dream, watching "The Wu Zhou Dynasty" with Cheng Shuhan.
"Mrs. Wu is truly an extraordinary woman." She has great talent and strategy, and is indeed not suitable to stay in the backyard.
How can we let a piece of uncut jade be covered in dust?
When Chu Wanqing woke up, she was still unsatisfied with what she saw: "I wonder what will happen after she ascends the throne."
He was repeatedly stopped by court officials when he went to court with Li Zhi.
