Chapter 1640 Delay
Chu Qing: "Yes, I'm in a hurry to go to the south. I'm sending a batch of hybrid powder and dried seafood there to replace food and disaster relief. It's already arrived, but I heard that I've been robbed by bandits!"
The emperor was stunned: "What?"
After thinking for a while, the emperor realized that he seemed to have heard that Chu Qing bought acorn fruits everywhere, corn cobs and other "heterozygous powder", saying that it was used to rescue the victims.
This is indeed a good idea. Food is short and the price of grain is too high. If Chu Qing's method works, it might be able to reduce the price of grain.
Chu Qing said: "I hope to be granted a title as soon as possible, so that I can have a bigger name to suppress the bandits!"
This transaction has been decided long ago. If you don’t joke, the emperor will not be able to rely on the debt. However, Chu Qing’s appearance of doing business makes it difficult for the emperor to ask for the drawings of the mortar.
However, the emperor would not let Chu Qing feel happy: "Linyang Hou is a little restless, I have something to do if you want to die."
The emperor now vaguely, no, he clearly felt that Chu Qing was no longer obedient and wanted to teach her some lessons - I have to do something if I have something to do, I am the emperor, and you have to do whatever you order you to do.
"What's the matter? Let's see if there are any schedules!" Chu Qing replied, explaining by the way: "Schedule is my itinerary."
Eunuch Li is trembling with his liver - he is so brave!
Thinking of the welcoming banquet that Chu Qing had been presented a few days ago, Chu Qing had already identified that this "always harmonious" relationship between the monarch and the ministers had turned into a "bargaining" cooperative relationship. The emperor frowned.
At that time, he had concerns about internal strife and external war. Now... the concerns about external war are resolved? Then...
"Your Majesty, there is a hurry to report!" The eunuch on duty outside the imperial study room reported.
Eunuch Li went over and took an urgent report to the emperor. The emperor glanced at Chu Qing with a rough look.
There are two reports, presented by Chongyu Mansion and Jiaxing Mansion.
The report from Chongyu Mansion is: The grain transport team sent by Linyang Hou to Chongyu Mansion encountered bandits. In order to protect the grain, the two sides fought fiercely. The bandits took advantage of the terrain to trap Linyang Hou's grain transport team at the foot of the mountain.
Due to the landslide, the mountain road was originally a clear mountain road, but now it is blocked by huge rocks rolling down the mountain.
The content of the Jiaxing Mansion's report was: The son of Linyang Hou was bombarded at the foot of the mountain, which shocked the local people. The government sent people to investigate the situation, saying that the son of Linyang Hou wanted to open the way to suppress the bandits in order to rescue his own grain team.
Two reports reported on the same location: the ravine at the junction of Chongyu Mansion and Jiaxing Mansion.
"The bombardment continues to be bombarded", the emperor thought about the words in the report: "Your son also carries a gun and cannon when he goes out?"
Chu Qing felt a little sad: Xiaobao? Carrying a gun and cannon? In the emperor's memorial, did he mention Xiaobao?
Chu Qing had already calculated a good day. Yesterday or today, Chongyu Mansion should have a memorial to the emperor to report the bandits robbing the Chu family grain team. She also firmly believed that the memorial in the emperor's hand now was to report this matter, but she did not expect that the emperor asked Xiaobao.
Chu Qingxin said, my son not only carries a spear, but also a musket. But he said: "Yes, otherwise we two won't live today."
emperor:……
The Daxuan court's control of weapons was "no control" for Chu Qing.
Even the edge balls are not needed. The Chu family does not use or imitate the standard weapons of the imperial court. Not to mention not imitate, one of the standard weapons of the Secret Detective Department, the Embroidered Chundao, is still from the Chu family.
Moreover, with Chu Qing's status, no one went to investigate the source and quantity of "civil weapons" with her, and the Chu family never sold weapons privately - they usually gave them away.
So it is not easy to find Chu Qing’s trouble in terms of weapons.
But Chu Qing's words made the emperor lose his mind: the person who said clearly said, "You are included in the people who want me to die."
No matter what the emperor thought, Chu Qing continued, "Look, he is still the son of the Marquis, and he was bullied like this!"
Eunuch Li coughed lightly next to him, wanting to remind Chu Qing to calm down.
Chu Qing glanced at him: "Mr. Li, do you think so too?"
Let you speak out, annoying!
Eunuch Li: "Uh... who dares to bully Lin Yanghou's son, you are joking."
Chu Qing shook his head and pointed at the memorial in the emperor's hand: "It's not a joke! Look, the memorial the emperor just received must be my son's, otherwise he wouldn't have asked for anything with a gun and a cannon;
Since it is an urgent memorial from the local government, no one cares about the bandits, and only stares at my son carrying guns and cannons. Isn’t this bullying?
I have returned from my own life and have not been able to meet my son so far. My son has always helped clear the roads in the mountains and transport supplies, and has no time to return home;
In this case, if you don’t mention the bandits, but report any guns and cannons. Isn’t this bullying our orphans and widows?”
Even the emperor and local officials were encircled by Chu Qing to the group that "bullyed" and must first report these complaints.
Chu Qing can't blame her for thinking this way. She didn't expect that Xiaobao would run back if she wasn't staying on the island!
Chu Qing has planned that the border and the mainland will fire the fire to deter both sides of Vos and Daxuan, but the participants in this plan do not include Xiaobao.
If both sides were scared, Chu Qing could ensure that the Chu family could be in a relatively stable state in the future. She would not be worried when Bao came back.
But now is not the time!
To shock Daxuan, the action is lighter and heavier, it is a very dangerous situation.
If it is lighter, it will not have a deterrent effect; if it is severe, what if the court uses thunder to remove the Chu family in one go?
"Your Majesty, I have to leave now! Otherwise, there will be wolves in front and tigers in the back. I don't know what my son is bullied," Chu Qing said. He didn't want to stay in Kyoto for too long before, but now he is really anxious.
There are wolves in front and tigers behind, which treats bandits and government officials as birds of a feather.
The emperor looked at the memorial in his hand again. There were even more unpleasant words on the memorial, saying that Xiaobao's cannon could hit the bandits' nest behind the hillside, scaring the bandits away and letting the government lose the sky. What's important is that this kind of firearm is too cruel and has endless "futures".
Jiaxing Mansion negotiated with Xiaobao, saying that the bandits had their own mansion were wiped out, and hoped that Xiaobao would surrender the artillery and not let the people be scared. They were already suffering from natural disasters and would not be forced by man-made disasters and would no longer have a way out of life.
But not only did Xiaobao not listen, he also formed a confrontation with the government office, so the memorial from Jiaxing Mansion requested support.
The emperor remained silent and did not tell Chu Qing the content of the memorial, but said, "That's it... I originally planned to hold a good honor ceremony for you after negotiations with Vos;
First of all, the last time you were granted the title of marquis, and you only had an imperial edict and didn’t even have a ceremony. It was really too hasty. I want to do it for you this time;
Secondly, it is also to damage the face of the Worth people;
Third, the negotiations are underway, and the Ministry of Rites is too busy to do it, and your account ban also needs to be carefully considered;
However, since you are so anxious and refuse to stay in Beijing for a long time, it just so happens that there are two envoys in the Vos mission that need to return to China first to prepare for compensation;
You will work hard to escort them to Xinlunzhou first so that they will not have any trouble along the way, and then turn to Jiaxing Mansion, which will not take a few days;
Last time, wasn’t it also you who escorted the Woth people out of seclusion? I will leave it to you this time, so I can feel at ease;
Chapter completed!
