There was a lot of noise in the court, and the voices of the people were endless.

It's not that the Qiu family didn't take action. After a few days, there was a lot of talk among the people, saying that Taifu Qiu was loyal and hardworking, and that the Qiu family should not be punished severely for just one Qiu Changsheng.

Your Majesty should be merciful, this is what Mingjun did.

But would the Qiu family invite people to create public opinion?

The Qiu family asked people to praise their achievements and create public opinion.

Conversely, the Palace of the Great General, Duke Dingguo, and the old censor Xu will also create public opinion.

Therefore, there are opposing voices from the people to refute them.

"If your daughter is killed like this, you can still smile and say thank you, and you won't have back pain while standing and talking!"

"General Qiu has made great military achievements, but he is the son of Qiu Changsheng. Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the son of a mouse can make holes. Maybe Qiu Wenzhou still has the heart of disobedience. This is really frightening. The war in the northwest has not been dealt with. Okay, is it because Qiu Wenzhou can't do it or Qiu Wenzhou has a heart of disobedience?"

"The Qiu family dares to kill even the disciples of the Son of Heaven, so the next step is definitely to kill the emperor!"

These remarks became more and more exaggerated, but they quickly covered up the voices of those boasting about the Qiu family.

In the end, the fire burned directly to Qiu Wenzhou who was far away in the northwest.

Some students even suggested urgently summoning Qiu Wenzhou back to the capital in public places such as teahouses and discussion halls, so that General Wang could go to the northwest.

And at this moment.

Yan Jin provided another piece of evidence - the fact that the third master of the Qiu family bought a killer to assassinate him.

So caught off guard.

The censor who collapsed Qiu Taifu was even more excited.

The Qiu family, who were still lucky, panicked completely.

Qiu Wenzhou is now the Qiu family's biggest reliance, and the Qiu family has already fallen into a quagmire.

Qiu Taifu's original intention was to create some public opinion among the people, put pressure on the court, and keep his position in the cabinet.

But everything was beyond his expectation.

Excessive voices aimed at Qiu Wenzhou are definitely not a good thing.

Although Zhao Chong is not a suspicious person, the emperor's natural characteristic is to be suspicious.

Qiu Taifu himself had such thoughts, so it was inevitable that he also speculated about the emperor.

After a few days of discussion among the people, Taifu Qiu woke up because of the serious injury and illness of the Qiu family. In order to protect the Qiu family and Qiu Wenzhou, he wrote a letter, stating that he had not been strict in teaching his son, and offered to take the blame and resign.

After submitting the letter to the emperor, Zhao Chong did not immediately agree. He acted like you are a veteran minister, who has worked hard and made great achievements, and is an important minister of the court.

Therefore, in order to express the determination of the Qiu family to admit their mistakes, Taifu Qiu once again wrote a letter stating that he is old, has suffered heavy blows recently, and is really in poor health.

Alright, now, Zhao Chong "reluctantly" agreed.

Moreover, the eunuch brought the imperial doctor to ask for Taifu Qiu's pulse in person, and after learning that he was indeed in poor health, he was very concerned about letting him recuperate at the residence and reduce going out if there was nothing to do.

The court will remember his past achievements.

Taifu Qiu: "..."

In this way, Qiu Taifu resigned.

The era of Daqi's cabinet with double chiefs and assistants ended in this way.

The boss of Lin Ge leads the cabinet.

But Linge is old and lacks energy.

He will probably be old next year, and in an instant, who should be the new chief minister of the cabinet has become a topic of private debate among the courtiers.

However, following Taifu Qiu's resignation, the voices of the people changed in an instant.

"Qiu Taifu took the initiative to resign from office and retire. What is this? The son owes the father to pay. Hey, what a pity. The good Qiu family was bitten by a moth."

"I heard that Your Majesty is very embarrassed. After all, Taifu Qiu is the elder of the two dynasties. Your Majesty originally wanted to see the late emperor's face and not pursue him, but Taifu Qiu insisted on resigning. His Majesty has no choice. I heard that His Majesty allowed Qiu After the Taifu resigned, he still had a sad day, restless sleeping and eating."

"Who told our Majesty to be benevolent? Nowadays, Daqi rarely commits a crime of sitting in a row. Although Qiu Changsheng has committed a heinous crime, His Majesty will not punish the Qiu family. It is Qiu Taifu who understands the truth. He not only kills relatives righteously, but also takes the blame and resigns. It is really a paragraph What a good story!"

"Yeah yeah……"

In the teahouse, Xie Chuchu supported her chin and listened to the common people's discussion, she was satisfied.

Even sighed in admiration.

"The emperor's cousin's trick is really good. He forced the surnamed Qiu to resign, and gave him his good reputation."

"Shameful! Cunning!"

You learned the imperial technique really well!

What trouble sleeping and eating.

Obviously very happy, she took the queen's cousin and sister-in-law out of the palace to play in private.

Yan Jin was noncommittal.

Of course he would not tell Chu Chu, he was the one who reminded the emperor of this idea in private.

Let the emperor bear the bad reputation.

"Is Qiu Mingzhang going to die of anger at this time?" Xie Chuchu asked with a smile.

Yan Jin nodded: "It's probably not very good. He has been in charge of the cabinet for more than [-] years, and now he has lost power. Then, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and the Qiu family completely lost power in the court. Such a gap, as he values ​​power so much It must be unbearable for people."

Xie Chuchu rubbed her hands: "I really want to see the excitement!"

Yan Jin: "..."

However, Xie Chuchu propped her chin and asked with a smile: "Sir, are you going to be promoted?"

Yan Jin is very reserved.

He just lifted his chin slightly, indicating that this matter is a certainty, and he said it very calmly, as if it was not something to show off: "It doesn't count, just prepare to enter the cabinet."

After a pause, he added: "The salary will be doubled."

Xie Chuchu: Wow!

Beautiful!

At this time in the Qiu Mansion, Taifu Qiu was indeed very angry!

It was mainly because of the unintelligible public opinion outside that made him aggrieved.

He was obviously forced to resign by public opinion, but now that he has resigned, everyone outside keeps praising the emperor for his preferential treatment of veterans.

He is really suffering and can't tell.

In just a few days, people lost a lot of weight.

"Master... Your Majesty sent a message from the palace."

Taifu Qiu was just recovering from a serious illness. He was thin and standing by the window. Zhan Xin took a look.

After a long time, he said: "The current situation of the Qiu family will not change so quickly. It seems that we can only support the second prince with all our strength."

The confidant stood behind Taifu Qiu, hesitated to speak, and finally had to ask: "Master, then, compensation for the families of those murdered girls?"

Taifu Qiu said unhappily: "The word has spread, can the Qiu family not compensate, otherwise, the people don't know how to discuss it, you take the money!"

The confidant hesitated and said: "But the warehouse was stolen before, and now there are not many left in our house."

Qiu Taifu endured it and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

On the other side, Xie Chuchu went to Jishitang.

On that day, eight women were brought out of the dungeon in Hongfeng Mountain, and they were still alive.

These were all kidnapped by Qiu Changsheng, and they were all girls from innocent families around the capital.

They were all abused to varying degrees, and all suffered injuries.

Xie Chuchu took them back to Jishitang, and together with Zhuge Qinghe, healed them, and now the situation has improved.

They also knew that Qiu Changsheng was about to be executed.

Life after death, the wounds that can be left behind are indelible.

After Xie Chuchu came to Jishitang, she asked the person in charge first, "What do the families of those girls say?"

There was a hint of indignation on the steward's face: "They don't want to let them go home again."

Although Daqi's ethos is relatively open, in any era, women are always more harsh than men.

Being kidnapped would ruin any girl's reputation.

It is difficult for ordinary people to accept this fact, especially those who have brothers and sisters in the family, and are even more unwilling to accept them, otherwise, the reputation of brothers and sisters will also be damaged.

The steward sighed: "It's difficult, so far no one's family members have heard that they will take them home."

After a pause, the person in charge said: "Miss Chuchu may not know, in fact, if these girls go back, it may not be a good thing for them, not to mention that gossip from neighbors can sometimes kill people, even they themselves It's hard to get a foothold, the family is under pressure, and in the end, it's possible to sell them."

Xie Chuchu understands this: "Since this is the case, let's watch. If they are willing, let them stay if they are willing. When the time comes, I will find some good places to let them learn some crafts for a living. If they don't want to stay If you don’t want to, you can leave Jishitang to make a living.”

"Also, apply some more pressure to make the Qiu family lose money!"

The words have been released, don't think that if the warehouse is stolen, you won't lose money.

Oh, she also plans to ask for the Qiu family's treasury, and even take away the imperial gifts!

Let the Qiu family be poor!

The person in charge didn't know how to thank Chu Chu's thoughts, but happily agreed: "Hey! This old man will do it now!"
