After Chu Qing came back, he rested at home for a few days. There was no movement from the fake emperor in the past few days, and he was not summoned.
After winning the battle, the country no longer had any worries, and the court ministers and people lived their lives happily.
But when everyone was feeling relaxed, Chu Qing began to worry about the fake emperor.
Chu Qing believed that now that he had dealt with the national affairs, he should now focus on the fake emperor and find out the fake emperor's activities in time.
Just when Chu Qing was about to take action, he unexpectedly received a banquet from the fake emperor, saying that he wanted to celebrate his victory in the war.
After Chu Qing made some preparations, he entered the palace alone, and then met the false emperor under the leadership of the eunuch.
The fake emperor was sitting in the palace. When he saw Chu Qing, he immediately walked down and said with a smile: "Chu Qing, it has been several days since you came back from leading the army. I only summoned you now because of your injury. Now , is it better?”
Chu Qing smiled and nodded, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the injuries on my body are no longer harmful."
"That's good, that's good." The fake emperor said with a smile, as if he was glad that Chu Qing was really fine.
The two discussed the issue of leading troops to fight for a long time, and talked about their unique military insights. By the way, they took Chu Qing's victory as an example to discuss the issues that need to be paid attention to when leading troops to go on an expedition. They did not stop until it was meal time. discussed.
The emperor sat on the chair and said to Chu Qing: "Chu Qing, these are meals specially prepared for you. Enjoy them and don't be restrained."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Qing said respectfully.
"No need to be polite, just use your chopsticks."
"Yes." Chu Qing nodded, then picked up the chopsticks.
Chu Qing didn't know why the fake emperor suddenly summoned him, but he had a vague feeling that it was related to the Gong family. Even if it had nothing to do with the Gong family, it was still related to the previous problems between them.
"I have a question that I have been wondering about for a long time. After talking with His Majesty today, I feel that Your Majesty may have unique insights into the question that I can't figure out. I just don't know if I should ask it?"
The fake emperor looked at Chu Qing with a smile on his face and said, "Just ask."
Chu Qing first bowed with his hands clasped in fists, and then said: "Your Majesty, a country cannot live without a king for a day. Fundamentally speaking, is there anything wrong with this sentence?"
The fake emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the indifferent Chu Qing with a half-smile, and said, "What do you think about this?"
Chu Qing nodded and said: "A country cannot live without a king for a day. From a literal point of view, it means that a country cannot live without a king for a day. On the contrary, as long as there is a king, it can become a country. But I think, if This king is not a real king, so this country... is not a country on the surface. "
The fake emperor's eyes changed slightly. Looking at Chu Qing with a smile, he felt that danger was approaching.
Chu Qing felt that the matter had come to an end and there was no need to beat around the bush anymore, so he asked directly: "Your Majesty, if you are not a king, where will the real king be?"
The fake emperor curled his lips and said, "Since you asked me a question, I also have a question that I would like to see your opinion on."
Chu Qing nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please speak."
"It is said that the emperor is as guilty as the common people when he breaks the law. If the emperor really did something wrong, should he be punished?"
Chu Qing frowned. There was no answer to this question. No matter how he answered it, it would be wrong.
The fake emperor looked at Chu Qing with a smile and said, "Not to mention whether the emperor made any mistakes, if there is a fundamental problem in a country, then it is normal for the country to change its dynasty."
As soon as the fake emperor said this, Chu Qing was shocked. Change of dynasty? Could it be that the Gong family intends to rebel
