Adviser should be self-improvement
Chapter 6
The day after Chu Huaiqing woke up, an unexpected guest ushered in.
"Surprised to see me?"
"I'm a little surprised." Ben was still a little hesitant, but he unconsciously relaxed because he saw the undisguised true temperament of the visitor. Chu Huaiqing looked at the visitor with a smile in his words, "I thought you would have a few days just came."
"You have done so much for me, and now you are injured for some reason, how can I not come to see you?" Xie Fu raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be that in Brother Chu's heart, Fu is such a heartless and ungrateful person?"
"Call me Huai Qing. If you call me Brother Chu again, I will really treat you as a heartless person." The tone of the joke was intimate, he propped up his upper body, and stretched out his hand towards Xie Fu, calmly and Naturally, "Show me."
Subconsciously, Xie Fu stepped forward to support Chu Huaiqing's body, avoiding his back on purpose, saw the palm spread flat in front of him, and was stunned for a moment, but after a while he understood what Chu Huaiqing meant, pretending to be stupid He said: "Fu didn't bring anything with him this time, what does Huai Qing want to see?" The change of words was very smooth.
"Still pretending." Chu Huaiqing shook his head helplessly after seeing through it at a glance. This person has always been talented in playing rascals, and he was afraid that he would get involved if he went around in circles, so he said clearly, "Give me your hand." .”
"This...is not good." Xie Fu pretended to be difficult, "After all, you and I are two big men, holding hands..."
"If you hang around any longer." Chu Huaiqing covered her mouth and coughed, and said unhurriedly, "I'll throw away all the fine wine I've kept privately. I don't like drinking anyway, so it's not a loss."
"Don't." The first thing he noticed was not the wine, but Chu Huaiqing's not-so-ruddy complexion. Xie Fu restrained his hippie smile in time, put his hand on Chu Huaiqing's palm, and said in surprise, "Actually, these few days I've always had a question—how did you know?"
"You always like to put your hands into your sleeves. Even in the hottest summer, you haven't seen you sweat a few times, and you never go out in winter. The guest banquet directly avoids cold dishes..." Chu Huaiqing counted them one by one , and finally said, "Are these flaws enough?"
"Enough is enough, but how can you be sure that what I've been poisoned by is ice grass poison?" Xie Fu paused, "I never knew that Xianchun can relieve ice grass poison even after I searched many ways."
"I don't understand, but someone understands, and I just describe the details to those who understand."
The hands in the palms were no different from ordinary people, but when the fingers touched the palms, they could feel a bone-chilling chill. Chu Huaiqing, who was still talking and laughing, frowned, and her complexion became serious.
He originally thought that the poison of the wheatgrass could be detoxified only by the celestial wine, but now it seems that it may not be so simple.
Xie Fu saw this solemnity in his eyes, and did not ignore the worries mixed in the solemnity. For some reason, there was a warm feeling in his heart, and he still didn't care much on his face, "I have slept well these few days. , A lot of the depression has dissipated, all thanks to your wine, I think, if you drink it for another month, the poison will be completely cured."
Chu Huaiqing didn't respond, and turned out Tang Pozi from the quilt with a sullen face, and stuffed it into the other's arms: "Warm it up first, and I'll ask my servant to bring a fox fur over here."
Xie Fu, who was holding Mrs. Tang, was a little dazed, and he couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words: "It's the beginning of autumn, and the tail of winter has not yet been pinched. What's the point of wearing fox fur? Besides, how can Fu be so delicate?"
"Wearing fox fur is just to make yourself feel better, why bother about ordinary eyes, and if you care about other people's eyes, you won't pretend that you are a dude, and you have been pretending for more than ten years." Chu Huaiqing said.
It's no wonder that Chu Huaiqing was overly cautious. He had personally witnessed Xie Fu in his previous life being tortured so badly by the ice grass poison that he almost hanged himself with herbs every day. Before Chu Huaiqing passed away, it seemed that he couldn't even stand upright. do it.
Thinking of Xie Fu laughing wantonly to appease the general even though he was in unbearable pain, Chu Huaiqing felt pain in his heart.
"Huaiqing is not bad either." Xie Fu teased, "I'm not like you, who gained such a great reputation at the age of fifteen."
Chu Huaiqing smiled and said, "Maybe it's just because I am the son of Duke Chu."
"As far as this is concerned, I don't understand your thinking." Xie Fu looked at Chu Huaiqing, "Although the Duke of Chu has real power in his hands, it is not worthy of the Holy Majesty to fight for it. Logically speaking, you don't have to 'Become' a dandy. You are not like me, you can't get up or down in the family position, there is an aunt who is in the world watching over you, not to mention being valued and favored by your father, so you can only be forced to hide your strength and bide your time."
Hearing that Xie Fu talked about his family, Chu Huaiqing was afraid that he would recall bad things from the past, so he hesitated in speaking. Xie Fu saw Chu Huaiqing's fear, and waved his hand, "There is nothing to hide about what everyone knows. Let's talk about your problem first."
"Indeed, with my father's status, even if I show my ambition and talent, the emperor will not lay hands on our family. He will only turn me into a knife in his hand and become a courtier. I will not complain about this point. " Chu Huaiqing's voice gradually became quieter, but he paused every word, and his eyes were deep, "But the foothold of these is that Sheng Qian can continue."
It was shocking to say this, but Xie Fu was just taken aback. He held Mrs. Tang in his hand, walked to the door and took a look, then turned around and said to Chu Huaiqing, "Say this to a Shenggan person." If you don't, you're not afraid that I'll treat you as a madman with a deaf mind."
"Then the two of us are probably crazy." Chu Huaiqing laughed.
Xie Fu burst out laughing, and said noncommittally, "To be honest, although I also think that Shengqian can't last for a long time, at least there are still 30 years left. 30 years is enough for you to take care of yourself in a leisurely way." Have you taken the time to plan for yourself?"
"No." Chu Huaiqing shook his head, "Ten years at most."
"Ten years?" Xie Fu was rarely surprised. "Now there is no worry at the border, taxes are not too harsh, and officials from all over the country are not hardworking but not lazy. Why is it only ten years?" His 30 years were counted after the new emperor ascended the throne. Time to eat up money.
"Fu Kezhi's expenditure in the palace in recent years?" Chu Huaiqing asked without answering.
Xie Fu thought about it for a while, and said, "I only heard that the emperor repaired the Purple Orchid Hall for the imperial concubine." After all, it was a matter in the palace, and an ordinary son of an official like him could only know the general idea.
"It's not repairs, but reconstruction." Chu Huaiqing's tone was flat, without ups and downs, but it was because of this that people believed the authenticity of the words, "Repairs only cost 3 taels, while reconstruction costs Twenty times as much, plus the gold and silver jewelry that the emperor bestowed on the concubine, all kinds of banquets and banquets, and the food and clothing of the new concubine... seven or eight, it adds up to two million taels of silver."
"200 million...!" Xie Fu gasped.
"These are only the money used by the harem, not counting the grain, grass and equipment at the border. They are used for construction in various places." Chu Huaiqing's words seemed to contain a sigh, "The treasury is out of money, what will the emperor do in the first place?"
Xie Fu couldn't help frowning, and said: "Strengthen taxation."
"Even if the emperor asks for [-]% to [-]% of the tax, the officials who order it will be [-]% to [-]% or even [-]% to [-]%. Most of it will go into his own pocket, and the remaining small part will be handed over to the court." Chu Huai Qingdao, "The emperor doesn't know how to control expenses, and the money he gets is not enough for him to squander. Taxes will only increase and the burden on the people will become greater and greater. If a natural disaster strikes at this time, it will block their last The way to survive is when the victims of disasters everywhere lead the uprising."
"If there is an uprising, I will be brave to the generals, and it will not be difficult to put down the rebellion. When the emperor finds out the reason, the problem can be solved?"
Chu Huaiqing glanced at Xie Fu, and said softly: "But our emperor is old." He was no longer as wise and righteous as he was in his prime.
Xie Fu was taken aback.
"The emperor is fifty-one years old this year. For ordinary people, he is in the prime of life, but he has been in military uniform for half his life, and his body has already suffered from irreparable chronic diseases. Most of his thoughts are now on making fun with his concubine, precisely because the emperor has realized that his time is too late. Not much, I want to have a comfortable old age to reward him for the first half of his life."
"If what you said is true." Xie Fu finally couldn't laugh, and there was some bitterness in his words, which met Chu Huaiqing's eyes, "Then what do you want to do?"
The shock given to Xie Fu today is enough, Chu Huaiqing is not going to tell everything he knows about the future generations, but only changed the words that Xie Fu can accept: "support a new emperor who can inherit the great responsibility."
Fortunately, the repeated refreshing of the world view did not affect Xie Fu's use of his ghost-like mind: "You don't want to borrow the identity of the son of Duke Chu, because the person you want to support conflicts with the person the emperor recognized, and you Father Chu Guogong is absolutely on the side of the emperor, right?"
"Yes." Chu Huaiqing nodded with a smile. Even though she was used to Xie Fu's strategizing in her previous life, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Xie Fu could easily see through his thoughts.
"Who do you want to support?" Xie Fu had a knowing expression on his face.
"Third Prince Qin Ce." Without hesitation.
"Third prince?" Xie Fu was a little surprised this time, "With all due respect, among all the princes, I am the only one who never thought you would consider him."
"Why?"
"Because of the third prince, he won't fight."
