Poor family mother and son

Chapter 1084 Letter from Lord Yong'an ([-])

Qiusheng's temperament needs to be tempered, and he also needs to quickly become familiar with the officialdom, and managing exiles is the best experience for him.

Although the exiles were losers in official struggles, it didn't mean they were incompetent. It could only be said that they were unlucky. For example, their opponents happened to cater to the emperor's intentions, but they didn't; or they were compromised by interest groups and so on.

Therefore, these people can be said to be truly knowledgeable and have a high overall quality. Using them as Qiusheng's whetstone should make Qiusheng improve quickly.

Furthermore, with Qiusheng's habit, he would ask when he encountered something he didn't understand, and it was also convenient for him to clearly grasp the movements of these people.

Moreover, with Chu Qing, Mr. Yong'an, as the backstage, Qiu Sheng would not be in danger.

"Everyone is in his place, everything is ready," Chu Qing wrote in today's "Harassment of the Emperor": "This minister, the 'Master of Mistress', participated in the plaque unveiling ceremony of 'Xingfu County' today;

The minister and Qi Guiran, the magistrate of Yong'an, jointly uncovered the red silk and satin, revealing the four characters of "Happy County Government". Your Majesty, these four characters were inscribed by the minister himself!
I have learned a lot from practicing brush calligraphy recently. I didn't copy any school, and I wrote it completely according to my own preferences. Don't say, I have my own school. I attach a new style of calligraphy written by me. Your Majesty, can you give me guidance? "

*********
The emperor is really annoying recently!
Almost every one or two days, I can receive a letter from Chu Qing, each time without any important content, but still sealed with the word "urgent".

The most annoying thing is that he is obviously very annoying, but he still wants to read it, and he wants to read it right away as soon as the letter arrives!

One day he deliberately didn't go to see it, but he didn't eat lunch, he couldn't talk about it, he couldn't approve the memorial, and he scratched his heart and liver and became more irritable.

Knowing that Chuqing did it on purpose, she couldn't help but read the letter—what if something happened to Chuqing?
Hu Hengqiu has also been very annoying lately - the dignified commander of the secret investigation department was trained by Chu Qing, who is far away in the sky, to be a courier brother.

However, there is also a trace of "hope" in this trouble.

He thought, the emperor should be the same, otherwise look at the expression of the emperor reading the letter, disgust and relish coexisting, and from time to time "imperial pen and Zhu criticism": "Well, this is a good writing, but it almost makes sense..."

On Chu Qing's letter paper, the emperor made a small circle in the east and a small cross in the west, and drew a lot of red marks. The circles were all strokes that the emperor thought were well written.

"Are you really on the guide?" Hu Hengqiu muttered.

"Huh? What did you say?" The emperor didn't hear Hu Hengqiu's words clearly. Although he asked, his eyes didn't leave the letter paper.

"Back to the emperor, I mean, do you want to expressly tell Mr. Yong'an not to occupy the communication channel of the secret investigation department all the time if there is no major issue?" Hu Hengqiu was looking for an excuse now, without any effort.

Having been an official for a long time, it has become a basic skill to open one's mouth regardless of telling the truth, not to mention Hu Hengqiu, Chu Qing also has this level now.

"Hmm..." The emperor pondered for a while: "The report submitted by Duke Yong'an is not completely useless, look here——

'Fortune' character, from Yao to Xie, the upper part from Yao is bent down, which means it is not straight; the lower part from Xie is reversed, which means the opposite, combined together, it is to get unexpected benefits and avoid disasters;
The word "Fu" means holding a wine bottle to worship the gods, which means protection;
The word happiness embodies the emperor's good intentions for the people. The emperor tried every means to save them from death, but he also wanted them to learn to be grateful...'

You see, Xingfu County actually means this, is it useless words? "

Hu Hengqiu stared wide-eyed and couldn't say anything.

He understood two meanings: first, Chu Qing has learned to flatter; second, the emperor is very useful.

In short, from now on, it will be full of nonsense, and it will still be urgently sent by the secret investigation department!

The emperor was naturally very useful, he just ignored the following sentence: "I should let the people in the fief be stable, peaceful and happy for a long time, and live up to the title of Yong'an bestowed by the emperor."

Two days later, the emperor received another letter from Mr. Yong'an. As usual, at the beginning, he was concerned about the emperor - how are you?Are you in a good mood?

But this time the content is different, it is about the "joy" of the prefect of Yong'an.

For example, the magistrate of Yong'an always came to consult Chu Qing's opinions on everything, and Chu Qing asked the emperor in the letter: "Your Majesty, the magistrate is the parent and official of a whole place, so what's the matter with asking the ministers about everything?"

He also said: "To be honest, if you give me the right to use this piece of land, I will just sit and wait for them to work hard. I am collecting money, not working for them. You can ask me about everything. What is the use of them?" ?”

What is the meaning of this?
The emperor pondered: Could it be that Chu Qing expressed to me that she had no interest in political affairs, so that she could take care of my heart?Or, she doesn't care about these officials at all, anyway, they are all obeying the order of Duke Yong'an?

The emperor continued to read the letter: "The minister asked Qi Zhifu: 'What do you mean by asking me early and reporting late all day long? Did you make something wrong, or do you want people to think that I am domineering and arbitrary?'"

The emperor understood, Chu Qing was reminding the emperor, don't let her take the blame, and don't need to hear about Chu Qing's situation from other people's mouths, let the emperor ask directly, Chu Qing will also write to him.

The emperor was very angry: he turned the corner and scolded me for not trusting you, right?

The letter I received the next day was even more interesting. The letter was a large piece of paper with not only words on it, but also illustrations!
It is not uncommon to have accompanying pictures, and there are also publications published by Daxuan, but it is clearly different!

In the text part, it is written about which criminal officials in exile can't use a hoe to plan their own feet; which criminal officials can't even teach the common people to read.

The accompanying picture is a four-panel cartoon: the criminal minister with high cheekbones and pointed nose holds up his hoe, presses down hard, digs his feet with the hoe, and sits on the ground with his feet hugged and crying.

Every character is drawn exaggeratedly, you can tell who it is at a glance, but it feels extremely funny.

Look at that sinner with a fat and protruding chin, his face was painted like a broad bean, he said "Zhihuzheye", but he only taught the word "earth".

The paper of this letter is half the size of a desktop. Although there are illustrations and not much text, it looks very interesting.

Unlike a story book, there are not many illustrations in a book.

Another day later, the emperor received a large letter paper again, which still had words and pictures on it, but it was not the same anecdote as before.

For example, a piece of text reads: "Using selected high-quality oysters, processed in a unique way, accompanied by secret seasoning, and white salt to enhance the taste, carved with time, and finally made into a golden brown thick juice...

Add a spoonful when mixing vegetables, and add a spoonful when stir-frying, rich, delicious, refreshing, and lubricated taste, one point of cooking skills will rise to ten points, and a poor appetite will also become a high appetite..."

The first picture in the accompanying picture is a small jar, held in a Qianqiansu's hand, tilted, with thick juice hanging down, and a soup spoon under the thick juice.

This time the picture is no longer exaggerated, but the lines are extremely smooth and simple. The gesture of the hand drawn is elegant but weak and boneless.
