After the old emperor scolded Jiang Tu severely, he could not ignore it. But it was not appropriate for him to come forward, let alone the court officials. Once the court intervenes, the struggle between the two families will evolve into a court struggle. This is what the old emperor doesn't want to see. He just wanted to test it out, and it would be best if he could make the Hou Mansion lose some strength while testing it. I didn't intend to make things bigger. Marquis Pingjiang is still leading troops to fight in the north at this moment, so he can't push others into a hurry. Jiang Tu was in a bad position to do his job. He obviously couldn't do anything to the Hou Mansion just by relying on his cavalry. The centuries-old heritage of the Hou Mansion cannot be shaken by a mere upstart. So, the old emperor decided to give him a little help. So, the old emperor asked Jiang Tu to find Jin Yiwei Xiao Jincheng, and the two discussed and settled the matter. Jiang Tu felt happy and worried for a while, "Your Majesty, will the minister and Mr. Xiao be too eye-catching? It would not be good if it causes a shock in the court." "Do you think Xiao Jincheng is you? He can't handle even the smallest things. If it weren't for him carrying errands, why would I need you? You're useless." Jiang Tu lowered his head in aggrieved manner. He thought he was quite capable, but the old emperor was too demanding.
The old emperor couldn't help but kicked Jiang Tu, "Go, go, I'm going to get angry when I see you. If you don't get it right this time, you'll come here with your head in front of me." Jiang Tu suddenly felt a chill on his neck, his head shrank, and he left the palace dejectedly. He didn't go to Jinyiwei, he just took a look. Instead, he sent someone to send an invitation to Xiao Jincheng, inviting him to come over and have tea. Xiao Jincheng had the emperor's mandate. Even though he couldn't stand Jiang Tu and was not willing to associate with this guy, he still had to keep the appointment. The two reconciled and exchanged information. Xiao Jincheng promised that he would send a group of Jianghu people to Jiang Tu, all of whom were warriors. As long as the money was in place, he was guaranteed to be able to command them. Many more don't. I wanted Jin Yiwei to play the side drum and pull the strings, but I'm sorry, I didn't receive a similar request. Opposite is not a cat or a dog, but the Pingjiang Marquis Mansion. Pingjiang Hou and his son are not that easy to deal with. Unless the old emperor gave a clear order to arrest someone, the Jin Yiwei would openly target the Hou Mansion. As long as there is no order from the palace for a day, the Jin Yiwei's attitude towards the Hou Mansion is to only monitor and do nothing. Although Jiang Tu was not satisfied, he could only hold his nose and admit it. He didn't have the ability to call the Jin Yiwei, and he didn't dare to reach out to the Jin Yiwei. Jinyiwei is the old emperor's private domain. Anyone who dares to reach out to Jinyiwei is provoking the imperial power. With the old emperor's emphasis on power, he would definitely kill anyone who dared to reach out and would not tolerate it. The second round of battle between Jiang Mansion and Hou Mansion is about to break out. Chen Guanlou was invited to the Hou Mansion, and it was the same study room he came back from last time. The crown prince Chen Guanfu wanted to see him. As soon as they met, Chen Guanlou found that the attitude of the crown prince Chen Guanfu was obviously more enthusiastic than the first time they met. "My Qilinzi, sit down quickly, sit down quickly." Chen Guanfu greeted.
Chen Guanlou was polite and sat down on the chair. The beautiful maid served tea and snacks, and the fragrance of tea overflowed. "I heard that you like drinking tea. Recently, I got a batch of high-quality tea leaves. You will take some with you when you go back later. If you like anything, don't be polite to me." "Your Majesty loves me so much that I won't refuse." "It should be so. We are all brothers in the same family, so there is no need to be too polite." "The prince called me here, did you have something to give me?" Chen Guanlou asked proactively. "Everyone below told me about your performance during the night patrol. I also personally inspected the corpses. Your sword skills are superb. I don't ask where you learned such superb martial arts, or why you are so capable. As a counter-killing warrior, you should have a bigger stage. Are you willing to join the army?" Chen Guanlou did not expect that the other party was so easy to talk to, so he suppressed his curiosity and did not ask about the origin of his kung fu. This made him quite fond of it. As for solicitation, it’s all cliche. Chen Guanfu was not the first person to recruit him, nor was he the last. He shook his head and said decisively: "I am a person who indulges in enjoyment and cannot bear any hardship. Joining the army is not what I want." "Oh! Since you don't want to join the army, naturally you won't force yourself. Then are you willing to work for the Hou Mansion? In terms of salary, don't worry, it's only much better than Tianlao." "Your Majesty, can you tell me what you need me to do?" Chen Guanlou did not rush to answer, but first asked about the work content. Chen Guanfu did not hide it from him, "If you enter the Hou Mansion, you will definitely not be able to stay in the capital for a long time and will need to travel around for the Hou Mansion. But these are temporary. If the current situation changes in a few years, you will If you want to stay in the capital for a long time, you can.” Chen Guanlou smiled clearly and said, "Thank you for your love, Your Majesty. I can only say sorry. In comparison, I still prefer this job in Tianlao." "More money, less work, closer to home?" Chen Guanfu asked with a half-smile. Chen Guanlou nodded generously and admitted, "Yes! Just because I want to have more money, less things to do and be close to home and feel comfortable." "The prison in heaven may not be truly comfortable." "In comparison, it is definitely the most comfortable job. Basically, I don't get angry. After all, the Tianlao place has a great reputation. The officials cherish themselves and are reluctant to set foot in it. And I am also reluctant to step out of the Tianlao." Without contact, there is no feeling. Unlike later generations, there are phones, WeChat, and remote control 24 hours a day. As a cow and horse, there is no real time for oneself. I really don’t know whether it was the misfortune of cattle and horses in ancient times or the misfortune of cattle and horses in later generations. Hearing this, Chen Guanfu couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't know that Tianlao had such advantages." "Except for the poor working environment, everything else is good." Chen Guanlou told the truth. The prisoners in the A-shaped prison are all prisoners with aspirations, ideals and hopes. For the sake of their future, they have a high degree of cooperation with the jailers and will not cause trouble if they can. Even if they do cause trouble, they will do it secretly outside, not in Tianlao. They are the easiest group of prisoners to manage. The premise is that the jailers must have a correct attitude, a good posture and a clear identity. Don't be like the B-shaped prison and the C-shaped prison, who really think they are the boss. If you do this, everything will become orderly and perfect. It can be called impeccable. "If you don't want to leave the capital, that's it. I won't force you. However, if the Marquis' Mansion needs your help, I hope you won't refuse." "You are joking, my prince. The Chen family can take root in the capital, all thanks to the Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis' Mansion is everyone's backer and everyone's background. If the Marquis' Mansion has any orders, just let me know, I will do my best." "I feel relieved when you say that. Jiang Tu has been crazy recently, and things are far from being settled. You will still need to help in the future to protect the safety of the clan members. If you have any difficulties, just let me know. This prince never needs hungry soldiers."
