The family went out, and Mrs. Chu came out of her mind under the lamp for a while before going back to sleep.

The next day, Chu Huaixian found out about this and hurried to see his father. Mrs. Chu didn't say anything more to him, straightened his clothes and said, "Follow me into the palace." ”

Master Taifu went to the palace every day to give lectures to the emperor. When today's arrival, Taifu Chu pretended not to know what happened yesterday, and was about to speak, but the emperor spoke first, and there was anger in his childish voice: "Taifu, the state has been mourned for three years, and many ministers actually had a banquet last night, which really made me and the Queen Mother sad." ”

Mrs. Chu smiled and did not say the words "relatives or residual sorrow", but said, "How did the emperor mean it?" The emperor pursed his lips vigorously: "I asked General Yuan, the general on duty in the palace, to arrest him last night, and I was thinking about how to punish him so that he could make an example." It's infuriating, it's infuriating! The first emperor has only been gone for more than a month, and they are so lawless! ”

The little emperor felt that words alone could not express his anger, and he stepped on the ground again on his toes.

"The emperor can listen to the advice of hundreds of officials." Although Taifu Chu is the prince's master, he never refuses to make up his own mind when he encounters things. He thought about it quickly, so he didn't say anything about hearing King Liang's idea first.

The affection between King Liang and the first emperor is deep, and King Liang is still grieving. Chu Taifu was afraid of what King Liang said, but he was afraid that he would be more ruthless than the little emperor

This was said by Taifu Chu, and the little emperor hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm afraid that as the prime minister said, they will read other people's songs." Chu Taifu smiled, like his news, this matter was the first thing that Prime Minister Zhang Cheng did after the death of the emperor. Winning Brother Yu's boring building is also a small way to give Master Chu Taifu a dismount.

"Since it was said by the prime minister, does the prime minister have any other ideas to present to the emperor?" Mrs. Chu thought that she would be lucky, if she didn't know one day in advance, she was afraid that she would have to talk about her relatives or Yu Bei.

The little emperor was embarrassed: "It was the prime minister who only said that he took people, but did not say how to send these people down and how to punish them." Taifu is my master, and I should ask Taifu for advice if I think about this matter. ”

Chu Taifu didn't think this was a problem, but it was a good opportunity for him to educate the little emperor. He talked eloquently: "After three years of national mourning, it is forbidden to feast and play. Officials know the law and break the law, and they should not have done so. Your Majesty, according to the law, those who should be dismissed from their posts should be dismissed, and those who are in prison will be imprisoned. It is a simple matter to follow the law, but there is one thing that is difficult. ”

The little emperor said, "Master, please speak." Chu Taifu deliberately muttered: "I don't know how many officials the emperor has arrested?" The little emperor said: "The officials arrested last night are a total of one hundred and twenty-four people, and there are also hundreds of ordinary businessmen. The emperor was a little excited: "The prison is full. ”

"Your Majesty, these one hundred and twenty-four people should be all in the six departments." Chu Taifu said, the little emperor nodded and scolded: "Exactly, there are more than a dozen of the four grades or above, which is really unreasonable." Su Rizhen looked at good people, and it was the same. ”

Mrs. Chu smiled: "This is really strange, how can the adults be like this?" Don't they understand, or are they looking forward to dismissal? The emperor thought twice, these people left behind after the first emperor left, but they were all officials who were used by the first emperor. If there is anything inappropriate, it will not be left to the emperor. ”

The little emperor was silent. was silent, and the eunuchs replied: "King Liang is driving." King Liang walked in, and the first sentence said: "Lord Taifu is also here," turned his face and asked the emperor: "Last night, there was a lot of trouble in the city, what happened?" ”

The little emperor who was reminded by Taifu Chu had to say it: "It was the prime minister who said it, thinking that there was no emperor in the eyes of these people, so he was arrested." ”

King Liang had a look of anger on his face, and said to the emperor: "The officials shouldn't be, but if you arrest so many people at once, who will do things for the emperor?" To be punished, it is not such a method of arresting. ”

"Then Uncle Yihuang, what should I do?" The little emperor ran out of ideas. King Liang also turned to Taifu Chu: "What does Lord Taifu mean?" Mrs. Chu stroked his beard and smiled: "The punishment that should be punished, of course the punishment is discouraged." These people can be remembered by the emperor, and after a few days they have merit, they will bring it up again, so that of course they will remember the emperor's benevolence. ”

These words reached the ears of the Empress Dowager Zhang in the afternoon, and Prime Minister Zhang smiled and said to the Empress Dowager Zhang: "Look at it, this work has become Master Chu Taifu again." Who would the officials be grateful to if they heard that he had said it? And the Queen Mother can watch, in a few days, Lord Taifu will definitely promote a group of officials. Master Taifu has always been able to quibble and the city is deep. ”

Empress Dowager Zhang listened to this and was a little suspicious of Mrs. Chu. Not long after the death of the first emperor, the courtiers took power, what should the little emperor do?

Mrs. Chu left the palace at night and went to the family in prison to report the news: "That woman is going to be locked up for a few days, and all the people in the boring building have been released." Mrs. Chu sneered: "It's good to let people out, this matter is already clear, those who are often relatives, let them live and die." ”

The family also smiled: "Yes, I watched her for one night, and I am not here today, I think she will not have a good time." Mrs. Chu turned back to Chu Huaixian and said, "That's it, we don't pursue it, and she has no way out." ”

Xiao Chu waited in front, and when he saw his father-in-law and Chu Huaixian coming back, Ying Ying thanked him politely: "Thank you father for your hard work." Young Master Chu didn't reproach her, but said kindly: "You don't have to be afraid, there are few things that have happened when you are young, this one is nothing." Xiao Chu was not unmoved, bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”

Young Master Chu said to go back to the room, Chu Huaixian sent his father back and came back to comfort Xiao Chu: "Don't worry, be careful in the future." Xiao Chu smiled at Chu Huaixian and said, "What I want is to make a bet with Zheng Erguan." ”

"You think slowly, I'm afraid that when you think about tomorrow morning, you won't have an idea." Chu Huaixian also joked, leaving Xiao Chu to think about it.

The next day, Xiao Chu went upstairs to see the guys, and saw that from the steward of the village to the guys, all of them had blue noses and swollen faces: "I can't open the door today, we can't treat guests with this face." ”

Xiao Chu was comforting them, and Zheng Erguan came up. The second official also comforted Xiao Chu in this matter and cheered Xiao Chu up: "Don't think that you are great if you find someone who is an official, there are many people who are officials." There are no at home, and there are many outside. This is called being unguardable, you are small, unguarded. ”

Xiao Chu, who was warm in his heart, did not forget to reply to his words: "Where is there no right and wrong? Zheng Erguan shook his head: "Is this right or wrong?" Hey, if you don't open today, my business will be closed for a day, right? ”

Xiao Chu laughed, turned his face and saw that Steward Zhuang and his men were beaten, and they were silent again.

After Chu Huaixian found out, he said to Xiao Chu: "Give them a few taels of silver and medicine money, and rest for a few days to wash the tables, benches, and floors." It's been open for so long, and there's a smell of food. These days, you've been resting at home, thinking about how to win your bet, and if you don't, don't come to me, I'm not going to help. ”

"I was just about to ask you for help." Xiao Chu smiled. Chu Huaixian was surprised: "Got an idea?" Isn't it, is it that fast? Xiao Chu wasn't sure: "I don't know if it will be successful, but without you, it still won't work." Chu Huaixian saw that she was still wilting and couldn't lift her spirits, so she deliberately teased Xiao Chu and said, "Can I not help?" ”

Xiao Chu reluctantly smiled at this time, and came over to hug Chu Huaixian: "No." Burying his head in Chu Huaixian's arms, Xiao Chu suddenly asked: "Father's political enemies are many?" ”

"This is not what you should ask," Chu Huaixian combed Xiao Chu's hair with his fingers, and said softly: "I was careless, and my father also told me that he was careless." ”

Xiao Chu, who was moved in his heart, bit his lip and said again: "It's not such a thing. Leaning on this embrace for a while, he also realized his gaffe, and searched for a joke with his spirit: "The second official told me that a guest said that he came the day before yesterday. As a result, this is a rich man, who likes fireworks and willow green the most, but when he arrives, he doesn't understand it, and he thinks that antiques are expensive. He didn't want to buy it, but he was weird, what he said was not everyone said, it wasn't because the sign was hanging so high, so he wouldn't come. Zheng Erguan was half angry with him, and complained to me for a long time. ”

Chu Huaixian helped Xiao Chu joke: "This is a person who doesn't have long eyes," Xiao Chu said: "It's not, it doesn't cost money to look at it in vain, and no one invited him to see it." On the contrary, if you say that you have been deceived, this person is not only not long-eyed, but also an idiot, or a fool and a bunch of fools are not necessarily. ”

"Don't look at the money in vain, and say that you have been deceived?" Chu Huaixian also scolded with a smile: "This person is a bastard!" Xiao Chu exhaled a long sigh of relief, suddenly hugged Chu Huaixian and kissed him, and whispered something in his ear.

The moonlight floated on the smile of the eldest prince of Chu. The eldest prince of Chu had both appreciation and love, stroked Xiao Chu's head, and boasted: "What a smart girl." Xiao Chu tentatively asked again: "Is it feasible?" Chu Huaixian said: "I think it's feasible, you ask Zheng Er to wash those cloths again, the musty smell is gone, and then recruit some people who can make needles and fingers to do it together." When it's done, I'll go find someone. ”

"I've figured out the cloth, but I don't have an idea about the oiled paper." Xiao Chu said this, and Chu Huaixian kissed her lightly in her hair: "No, you will definitely have an idea tomorrow." ”

As soon as he said this, Xiao Chu said "ha": "I thought of it." Then Chu Huaixian said it in his ear, but Chu Huaixian hesitated: "Is this okay?" ”

Xiao Chu pointed his finger on his forehead: "Perhaps, it would be better to think about the waterproof place." Chu Huaixian hugged Xiao Chu and shook it gently, while praising her: "It's really smart." ”

After a few days of hiatus, the boring building reopened. Uncle Daguo's face sank when he heard what he said, this building is a few days of rest, and the person who reported said that it was even newer than new.
