Chapter 42 Invite Them to Tea
On the second day, Yu Qingxi summoned the commanders of the four border armies and even went to the prison in person to pick up the commander of the Zhennan Army.
The meeting lasted for half a day until he said that most of the food and grass would reach the border troops. He also promised that once the domestic situation stabilized, the treatment of each army would be improved. Only then did the atmosphere among the commanders relax a little.
Then the commander of the Zhennan Army took the lead in expressing his willingness to surrender, while the other three armies were still hesitating.
But the conditions offered by Yu Qingxi were very tempting, and with the protection of an immortal, Lin Hu, the oldest commander of the Zhenbei Army, finally expressed his willingness to serve Yu Qingxi as his leader.
Seeing this, the remaining two also expressed their opinions.
Of course, this is just superficial flattery.
As for what happens next, it depends on what Yu Qingxi, the soon-to-be emperor, does.
In the afternoon, Chang Qing learned that the remaining three great priests, because of the problem with the blood-colored pill, the remaining poison in their bodies had been corroding their internal organs, and no matter what method the Imperial Hospital used, it could not be eliminated.
Chang Qing smiled slightly and soon met the three people. After promising to clear the poison for them, the three people also expressed their loyalty.
But when it came to the officials, the situation became very difficult to deal with. They still believed that a woman was not capable of such an important responsibility.
Chang Qing understood after hearing this. After all, it was a shock to the concept and no one could accept it all at once. However, the general trend was already determined and those officials who opposed it were like grasshoppers in autumn and would not be able to jump for long.
Subduing all officials is a long process, so there is no rush. Instead, we need support from the people, and the more drastic the better.
After discussing with Yu Qingxi, they decided to take action against those bully landlords.
Then he set his sights on the largest landlord in Xingyang State - Prince Shun.
This prince had a great reputation among the people, but it was indeed a bad reputation. In his fiefdom, he exploited and extorted the people, wantonly enclosed people's houses and streets, seized the land of the county seat and the academy, bullied men and women, and the people in his fiefdom complained bitterly and were forced to commit suicide.
On that day, Changqing personally led thousands of newly formed guards to Prince Shun's fiefdom.
In less than two days, the person was brought back and his assets worth hundreds of millions of taels of silver were confiscated, shocking the world.
Yu Qingxi showed no mercy and executed the man by slicing him to death in front of the imperial city gate and announced it to the world, to which all the people cheered.
The matter is not over yet. Prince Shun actually colluded with court officials. No wonder he was so fearless. Those officials sowed evil seeds and finally reaped the evil consequences.
Yu Qingxi also secretly collected a lot of evidence of officials accepting bribes and acting as protectors of criminal gangs.
Before the New Year's Eve, blood and gore filled the entire Xingyang State, and countless corrupt officials were beheaded.
Under such circumstances, the officials in the court finally changed their views. First, many officials who had been at the lower level for a long time felt that they had hope for promotion and began to support him openly. Also, many scholars thought that Yu Qingxi did a good job and began to support him.
On the day before New Year's Eve, most of the officials in the court had already agreed with Yu Qingxi. The others were all old scholars who, although honest, had deep-seated ideas and were stubborn in their opinions.
When Yu Qingxi explained the situation, Chang Qing had an idea and smiled:
"The princess will inform the officials who have already paid their respects and tell them that I invite them to have tea."
Yu Qingxi was a little confused, but still did as he was told.
Except for the New Year...
Snow is flying.
Many officials came in the heavy snow and were summoned to a hall.
From time to time, palace maids brought up snacks one after another, and everyone was whispering to each other, not knowing what was going on.
But these people were all smart and they soon discovered that some people were missing. All the officials who came had expressed their support for Yu Qingxi. However, they became even more confused. They didn't know what was going on by inviting people to drink tea on New Year's Eve.
Most people were chatting with others, consolidating their relationships. In less than a moment, a group of crisp footsteps came from the back of the hall.
Yu Qingxi was wearing a gorgeous white dress, with an upright posture and elegant temperament. Her steps were light and steady, and every movement revealed the elegance and nobility of a princess.
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess," everyone stood up and saluted. Since Yu Qingxi had not yet ascended the throne, his title was still Her Royal Highness.
"Gentlemen, please stand up and take your seats quickly."
Yu Qingxi asked everyone to sit down and began to speak:
"You may be wondering why I have summoned all of you here today to celebrate the New Year."
Everyone nodded. They really couldn't guess.
Yu Qingxi smiled slightly and shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't know either. Today, someone else asked me to invite you all here."
Everyone was confused. At this time, the old man who had reprimanded Li Qinghe said, "Could it be that immortal?"
Everyone reacted and nodded, thinking it was possible.
At this time, several footsteps were heard outside the hall. It was the four priests, including Wang Gang, who entered the hall and sat on both sides of Yu Qingxi. Among the priests, only Wang Gang looked better. The other three looked pale, as if they had not recovered from a serious illness.
Wang Gang's loud voice said at this time: "Didn't you say that the immortals invited us to dinner? Where are the immortals? Where are they? Who is the immortal?"
Everyone looked at them in surprise, but then they realized that the king had just been seriously injured and was unconscious, and they didn't know what had happened.
At this moment, a stove suddenly flew in from outside the hall. On the stove were several pots of tea, steaming. Everyone stood up again and said, "Welcome to the Immortal Master!"
"You're welcome, please sit down." A cold voice came from the air.
As everyone sat down, teapots began to fly, drawing praises from everyone.
After the teapot was poured into Yu Qingxi's cup, everyone was given a cup in order. No one noticed the figure that suddenly appeared next to Wang Gang.
Everyone was still looking at the light green tea. Just by smelling it, they felt all their fatigue disappear and they swallowed unconsciously.
At this time, Wang Gang was startled when he found Chang Qing suddenly appearing beside him. After seeing clearly, he put his arm around Chang Qing's neck and said:
"Brother Qing, you are finally here. You didn't see it just now, but the teapot flew up by itself to pour tea for us. It was so magical."
The officials broke out in cold sweats when they saw this scene, but fortunately Changqing did not get angry.
When he saw that Changqing didn't have a teacup, he handed his teacup to Changqing and said, "Maybe you came too late and didn't drink my cup in advance."
Chang Qing patted Wang Gang on the shoulder and said, "Brother Wang, drink it yourself. I have some."
After he finished speaking, a teapot on the stove flew up and poured out tea directly in the air, condensing into the shape of a teacup. Chang Qing gently held it with two fingers and faced everyone. This scene amazed everyone.
Wang Gang was even more stunned, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something. Just as he was about to speak, Chang Qing nodded.
Holding a cup of tea, Chang Qing walked to the center of the crowd, raised the cup and said to everyone:
"This tea is extremely precious, and its name is 'Bu Ye Hou'! It is also extremely precious among the ascetics. Drinking this tea can eliminate all diseases and prolong life. You all have a discerning eye and recognize a wise ruler, so I will take out this tea and share it with you!"
After saying that, Changqing drank the tea in his hand, and everyone followed suit and drank the tea. Suddenly, groans were heard in the hall.
Many people find that after drinking tea, their whole body feels like a furnace, full of heat, and their flesh and blood seem to be rejuvenated.
