Second minister and thief

Emperor Wu'an looked at the stubborn young man kneeling below, his complexion was not very good-looking, even faintly blue, he felt that Chu Linqiu had become a little weird since the incident of returning to the Qinghe Hall last time, and his behavior became more and more unpredictable.

For example, right now, his reaction is a bit extreme.Generally, such a situation will occur, either someone was talkative earlier, or there was resentment towards oneself.

Thinking of this, instead of losing his temper, Emperor Wu'an asked more gently, "What's wrong with you today? You...what's wrong with you?"

Chu Linqiu was not in a hurry to reply, but kowtowed three times without haste, and still shouted: "The minister is guilty."

"The minister's misconduct and lack of ability, not only can't share the worries for His Majesty, but also cause people's hearts to fluctuate in the government and the opposition, and there are quite a lot of complaints. It is really...... I can no longer have the audacity to occupy this position, so I implore Your Majesty to take back the order." , He actually took out the tiger's head seal from his bosom, which symbolized the identity of the Tong Zhishu, and placed it on the ground beside him.

"Nonsense!" Emperor Wu'an grabbed the ornaments around him and threw them directly on the ground, almost jumping up, "Chu Jiushang! What are you losing your temper? You are dissatisfied with me and making excuses? I'm already burnt out, can you let me save myself?" Heart?"

"The minister is guilty."

"You are guilty, you are guilty... If I hear these three words again, you should get out of here immediately." Emperor Wu An waved his hand impatiently, "Come on, don't mention this matter again. Didn't you come here today for Xichuan? Qing, I need you to share my worries right now." After that, he calmly signaled Yan Zheng to step forward to help him up.

"Qing is still seriously ill, so it's better not to kneel for too long. If something happens in Zhishutang, Dingnanhou will come to me with a knife again to settle the score."

"Your Majesty was joking." Chu Linqiu pursed his lips slightly when he heard the words, a rare smile appeared in his eyes, and couldn't help defending his "Madam", "Your Majesty just doesn't understand, and with the eagerness of the guards, it's inevitable Unscrupulous words...cough cough, I hope Your Majesty will not be as knowledgeable as him."

"Why? Can I really care about it?" Emperor Wu'an glanced at him casually, and said, "You have done a lot of outrageous things, why don't you see that I am as knowledgeable as you?"

"Your Majesty, my subject..."

"Sit down." Seeing that Chu Linqiu was about to get up from his seat in panic, Emperor Wu'an hastily raised his hand to stop him, "Let's talk, suppressing the rebellion is imminent, do you have any recommendation from the Privy Council?"

"I think that the old general Jin has great military exploits and rich experience, and he is the best candidate to counter the rebellion."

Chu Linqiu just said that casually, without even moving his eyes, but the hearts of all the officials were filled with waves.

After a while, someone said angrily, "Your Majesty, I have objections!"

"Oh? What's Tu Qing's objection?" Emperor Wu'an's expression was indifferent, and he could hardly see any emotion, so the person stared at by his eagle eyes couldn't help but shudder.

"Returning to Your Majesty, General Jin is old, his ears are ringing and his eyes are dim, and he is slow to mount his horse. How can he deploy troops? I think General Dingyuan Yuan Sinan can take on this important task!"

"Yuan Sinan is Song Ge's nephew, and he is famous for only talking on paper. Zhou Shangshu really thinks that he has the ability to defeat the experienced General Jin? Or...does he have other plans?"

"Master Chu! You have misunderstood the dismissal. General Yuan was young and promising. He once led an army alone in a surprise attack on the mountain road and killed thousands of mobs in Jinghe..."

"It's just luck!" Chu Linqiu suddenly interrupted his eloquence with a loud voice, then turned slightly sideways, and said to the emperor, "The Xichuan rebel party has already conquered two cities, and all the government officials along the way have defected. If your majesty doesn't Make up your mind, lest things will become more and more difficult to end."

"Waste... a bunch of waste..."

Emperor Wu'an turned his eyes, and accidentally caught a glimpse of the content in the battle report again, and suddenly felt an inexplicable anger in his heart, and swept the stack of documents on the table to the ground.

"I don't know how many food salaries are issued by the imperial court every year, but they have raised such a group of waste...Chuqing, immediately pass on my order that if any of the soldiers captures a rebel, they don't need to bring them back. Dige kill! I will reward you with a thousand pieces of gold! I will give you hundreds of households!"

"Sir, obey the order."

"Your Majesty! The Prime Minister is here, waiting at the door."

"Let him in." Hearing this news, Emperor Wu'an restrained his anger slightly, but his expression was still gloomy, so that the rest of the people were forced to hang their hearts in their throats and never let go.

"Song Qing is here? But what's the best way?"

"Your Majesty, I heard the quarrel inside from a long distance away, what's the matter? It's our Lord Chu... who is at odds with you?" The Prime Minister glanced meaningfully at the man who was sitting quietly like a mountain. Chu Linqiu pretended to persuade him to look good, "The original intention of all colleagues is to think about the country and the country. If that is the case, why not take a step back and find a compromise. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"Song Qing's words are very true. According to my words, Jin Shicheng will be the left general, Yuan Sinan will be the right general, and they will go west together to suppress the rebellion. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

......

"Chu Qing, what about you?"

Chu Linqiu was sitting on the wooden chair, his brows were furrowed, his lips were inadvertently pursed into a straight line, obviously dissatisfied with the emperor's decision.But he no longer objected explicitly, but reluctantly said, "Of course I listen to your majesty."

Emperor Wu'an was so angry that he grabbed the vermilion pen at hand and wanted to throw it over again, but thinking that this man had nowhere to vent his grievances, he sighed, put it down slowly, and only gave him a warning look and said, "Enough is enough."

"What's the matter with my minister?" Chu Linqiu raised his eyes upon hearing the words, and looked back inexplicably, with a sense of grievance in his eyes.

Seeing this, Emperor Wu'an couldn't help but lose his mind.

Chu Linqiu's eyes are almost exactly the same as the woman in memory, especially the upturned eye ends, and it happens that such eyes are revealed at this time, making it easier for people to fall into them involuntarily.

"Zhener..."

"His Majesty?"

"..." When Emperor Wu'an was called out like this, Fang came to his senses in a jerk. He rubbed the center of his brows wearily, and then waved his hand to make people retreat, "Song Qing and Chu Qing stay, I have Talk."

"Your Majesty, I suddenly feel unwell, I'm afraid..."

"Master Chu has a problem with Song?"

"How dare you?"

"Neither so, why is Mr. Song feeling unwell when he comes? Mr. Song just saw that you were very energetic."

"Ahem..." Unexpectedly, Chu Linqiu did not respond to the Prime Minister's words this time, but covered his face with his sleeves, coughing lightly from his throat from time to time.Not only that, but he was even in a trance.
