After Chen Guanfu, the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, finished busy with family affairs, he got an errand from the imperial court and was appointed as the Minister of Works. Ministry of Industry? Chen Guanfu smiled. The old emperor asked him, a general who had led troops in wars for more than ten years, to work as a minister in the Ministry of Industry and as a minister, sitting together with the traitor Jiang Tu. The intention here is self-evident. "Your Majesty is a military commander. If you don't want to go to the Ministry of War, you should go to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. Worst of all, you should go to Taipu Temple. I never expected that Your Majesty would arrange for your Majesty to enter the Ministry of Works with that traitor Jiang Tu. What is the purpose of your Majesty sitting here, Minister of Industry?" The chief steward frowned, subconsciously believing that the old emperor had evil intentions. "The Ministry of Industry is rich, so there is nothing wrong with my son going to the Ministry of Industry. But the thought of being a colleague with Jiang Tu and seeing each other every day is a bit embarrassing for me." The chief steward said hurriedly: "Your Majesty has never had any dealings with Jiang Tu. He is a shameless villain with no knowledge or skills. He only got to where he is today by flattering his superiors and bullying his subordinates. He is in the Ministry of Works, where he works for the old emperor. fiscal. If the crown prince goes to the Ministry of Industry, it is inevitable that he will have conflicts with him. If the trouble comes to His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely defend Jiang Tu and reprimand the Crown Prince. After so many times, I can no longer imagine the consequences. Is this the purpose of His Majesty appointing the Crown Prince as the Minister of Works? Just to suppress? " The chief steward couldn't help but frown and began to worry about Chen Guanfu's future.
Chen Guanfu's expression seemed very calm, "Suppression is nothing. Military power is the most important thing. Transferring me from the Ministry of War and not arranging for me to go to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion are just to keep me away from military power. Just like he did to his father back then. Likewise, my father is disabled, so he can only take off his errands, stay away from military power, and live a leisurely life. The same purpose, just different means. After all, my status in the military is far inferior to that of my father. His influence among the nobles is not comparable to that of his father. Having said that, I have to thank the old emperor for being merciful and not making me crippled. hehe! " Chen Guanfu smiled coldly, his eyes gloomy. The mood can be described as extremely bad. The old emperor's move was a complete conspiracy. Chen Guanfu could not resist, and even had to take office obediently and work well in the Ministry of Works. Even if you want to do something, you have to wait at least a year and a half. He gritted his teeth and smiled again in the blink of an eye, "It's okay to go to the Ministry of Industry, just think of it as a rest. Wait until next year for the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony..." Speaking of the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, the chief steward hurriedly reported, "The news from Tianlao is that in order to prevent people from outside from messing around, Chen Guanlou actually took the initiative to poison King Daming." "Seriously?" Chen Guanfu was slightly surprised. "This is absolutely true." Hearing this, Chen Guanfu was silent for two seconds, and then burst into laughter, "Chen Guanlou is really a wonderful person, I am lucky that he came up with the idea of taking the initiative to poison me. Brilliant! Brilliant!" "The prince approves of his actions?" "Why don't you admit it? It's obvious that Chen Guanlou took the initiative to poison him, and it will definitely not kill King Ming. But it sent a signal to some people who are ready to take action, don't mess around! There are already people in the court who have planned to kill King Ming. . The Ming Dynasty king cannot die early, he has to wait for the time. Haha, he can think of it. " Chen Guanfu's mood seemed to have improved a lot. "Send another sum of money to Tianlao and tell Chen Guanlou to give the Ming Dynasty King more delicious food and strive to raise him to be fat and white. That is a sacrifice to heaven appointed by His Majesty, so there can be no mistakes. " "What if Chen Guanlou capsizes in the sewer and poisons the Ming Dynasty King first?" "That's his fate. He has been working in Tianlao for many years. If he can't even control the weight and safety of poisoning, then his abilities are obviously limited and he is not worthy of the Marquis's continued investment." Chen Guanfu smiled and said cold words. The chief steward nodded, "I understand, little one."
… Ever since King Ming was poisoned, the jailers were all worried when they saw King Ming gasping for breath three times a day. I was afraid that he would not be able to lift it up in one breath and would die. Xiao Jin ran to Chen Guanlou to complain, "How about we use the previous medicine and let King Ming lie on the bed in a vegetative state. Everyone is worried about his current appearance every day and cannot relax for a moment. It is really too painful." " "You should know why Medical Officer Mu and I poisoned King Ming. I have told you a long time ago that Tianlao is a big sieve, and there are spies everywhere. If we don't poison, others will poison King Ming. Poison. Good luck like last time doesn't happen every time. If we poison, people outside will stop. If we poison, we can at least control the amount and ensure safety. For the purpose of letting King Ming die." Xiao Jin:...... Can't refute. Because it's all true. Chen Guanlou's expression softened and he continued: "Tell the jailers below that if you work harder during this period, your bonus will be increased by 30%. When you work under me, there will be no reward for hard work. The amount of money will be the same." The harder you work, the more you earn. I believe everyone will understand.” "Okay, I'll listen to you adults. As long as you have money, the kids below will definitely have no complaints. Even if they have complaints, they will be swallowed up. Whoever dares to gossip, don't worry about me, I will beat him to death first." "There's no need to be beaten to death. It's natural to get paid to do things. If you still complain about taking money, that means you don't follow the rules. Those who don't follow the rules will be transferred directly from the A-shaped prison." "clear!" Xiao Jin got the order and was full of energy. He held his head high and went to the prison to lecture the jailers. The tradition of giving lectures also started from Chen Guanlou. Now several squad leaders have followed suit, giving lectures, holding meetings, and so on. It was really cold in the coldest days of winter. Early in the morning, two hard bodies were carried out from the A-shaped prison, frozen to death, hard. The B-shaped prison and the C-shaped prison next door were even worse. In one morning, more than a dozen bodies were carried out, all frozen to death. According to the rules, Doctor Mu checked, determined the cause of death, and issued a document. The Tianlao wrote an official document and reported it to the Ministry of Justice. The bodies were temporarily placed in the morgue. Not enough space? In such a cold day, all the bodies were piled together, and when the family members came to claim the bodies, they were separated one by one. There was no other way, the conditions of the Tianlao were like this. The weather was cold, there were many dead people, and the procedures had to be followed. The bodies could only be piled together to save space. The A-shaped prison was considered good, as the monthly death quota had not been used up. Chen Guanlou was a conscientious prison guard. No matter the rags, as long as they could keep warm, they were all given to the prisoners. You couldn't light a brazier to keep warm in the cell, because there was no ventilation! You could only shiver, rely on blankets and cotton-padded jackets to keep warm. It was so cold last night, and the temperature suddenly dropped. Chen Guanlou felt that the temperature dropped by at least 10 to 20 degrees in just a few hours last night. As a result, two people froze to death in the A-shaped prison.
