Sun Daoning has not been promoted yet, but judging from the joy in his eyes, he should be close to being promoted soon. "What is this?" Sun Daoning looked at the manuscript on the table and asked in confusion. His body subconsciously avoided it, as if he was avoiding a hot potato. Chen Guanlou specially changed into a decent outfit today and came to the Ministry of Justice to meet Sun Daoning. The meeting went smoothly. The doorman informed him and he saw him. He said to him, "This is Jiang Tu's petition. He asked me to find a way to send it to the palace." "You are simply nonsense! How can you send a petition for Jiang Tu and even want to drag me into the water." Sun Daoning was so angry that his face turned blue. He seemed to be unable to believe that Chen Guanlou, who had always been experienced in doing things, would do such a rash thing. "He gave 20,000 taels." No excuses, no explanations, he got to the point right away. "Among them, 10,000 taels are converted into antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and the market price is 30% off. I asked someone to look at it, and one of the paintings seems to have a great origin. I heard that it seems to have been taken out from the palace." Speaking of the origin of the painting, Chen Guanlou deliberately lowered his voice. Those who know will know that the paintings taken out from the palace must be the best paintings. If there is a seal of the previous emperor on it, its value will double. The premise is that this thing cannot be seen in the light and can only be circulated privately.
It is very good to use it as a gift. Anyone who has a certain level of appreciation for antiques, calligraphy and paintings will definitely not refuse such a generous gift. But as a family heirloom collection, after dozens or hundreds of years, this thing will be snatched up when it sees the light, and the price will be doubled or ten times higher. Even if the family falls into decline decades later, relying on such a painting can still lead a rich life, and maybe even turn over. Treasures are rare to come across, and they are all hidden in the homes of wealthy families, and they are not easily taken out to see people. If you want to encounter it, you can get it in your hands, but it is hard to find. Now the treasure is right in front of you, and you ask if you want it? Sun Daoning was indeed tempted. He gritted his teeth and looked extremely angry. The angrier he was, the more he wanted it. But he was angry because there was a risk. "Do you know how many people are watching the Jiang Mansion now? You actually took away antiques and calligraphy from the Jiang Mansion, and you took them from the palace." "This is Jiang Tu's petition. Can you help deliver it to the palace?" Chen Guanlou asked directly without saying anything nonsense or making excuses. "Impossible!" Sun Daoning refused sternly, "You are framing me. Jiang Tu is a traitor, a traitor that everyone wants to kill, and he is involved in the altar explosion case. I can't help him deliver the petition and give him a chance to turn over. Do you know that once I do this, I will have no place in the officialdom." "Then if His Majesty wants to summon Jiang Tu..." "Absolutely impossible. Chen the jailer, your position has deviated. How can you help a traitor for a mere money? If you do this, I think you are no longer suitable to continue sitting in the position of a jailer in the A-shaped prison. Considering your past merits, I should have promoted you long ago and promoted you to the Ministry of Justice to work." Sun Daoning was warning, and he was just about to point at Chen Guanlou's nose and curse: If you dare to mess around, I will transfer you away from the nest of gold and silver. Chen Guanlou was not in a hurry, and sat down on the chair, intending to have a long talk. "The court needs a traitor, a traitor who can take the blame for His Majesty at any time. This traitor may be provided by Yu Zhaoan or Xie Changling. Both of them have lived in Tianlao, and I know them. They have learned the truth in Tianlao, and they are no longer the upright gentlemen who abide by the rules of officialdom. For example, Xie Changling must have been involved in the poisoning of His Majesty before he ascended the throne." "Don't talk nonsense!" Sun Daoning was so angry that he stood up, walked to the door, made sure there was no one outside, and then closed the door of the office again. He lowered his voice and rebuked: "What do you want to say?" "I want to remind you that the candidate for the traitor can be provided by them or by you. Jiang Tu said that if he can turn things around, he is willing to give all his property to your majesty. Your majesty is short of money, and you are offering Jiang Tu's property to relieve your majesty's worries. Then your wish will come true. Your majesty is surrounded by Xie Changling's former officials of the Eastern Palace and the important officials of the Political Affairs Hall. If you want to have a place in front of your majesty, you must take a different approach. Don't you want to enter the Political Affairs Hall, don't want to be a prime minister, don't want to be a prime minister? Xie Changling can enter the Political Affairs Hall at a young age, how are you worse than him, why can't you enter the Political Affairs Hall? Moreover, you have rich experience in governing, which is much better than Xie Changling, who can only talk on paper." Chen Guanlou used his eloquence to fool Sun Daoning, and really touched Sun Daoning's heart. A good name in life and after death is a curse that all scholars and officials cannot escape, and a lifelong pursuit. If you want to leave your name in history, what better choice is there than entering the Political Affairs Hall?
Xie Changling is young, and he has been in and out of the Political Affairs Hall in his early thirties. He will definitely leave a mark in the history books. Never mind whether he can be a prime minister. Yu Zhaoan, who served as a prime minister at the youngest age, will also leave his name in the history books, and his personal experience will also become legendary. As a scholar and a warrior, Sun Daoning believes that he is no worse than others in terms of knowledge and talent. He has not made any progress for many years, which is quite regretful. This time, taking advantage of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, he worked hard to make further progress. At present, things are going smoothly. But... As long as the promotion edict does not come down, there will be variables in this matter. "My lord, wealth and honor are sought in danger!" Seeing that Sun Daoning was already interested, Chen Guanlou continued to apply medicine. "I have arranged for all the antiques and calligraphy and paintings obtained from the Jiang Mansion to be delivered to the adults' residence. In addition, I have deposited 4,000 taels in the bank. This is the receipt for withdrawing money." Chen Guanlou left the seal on the table, "Use the seal to take the money and use it at any time." The bank's transactions are based on the seal, not the person. "Jiang Tu has a good reputation, can't we change someone?" Sun Daoning was obviously persuaded by Chen Guanlou, but he didn't want to use Jiang Tu, because he thought Jiang Tu's reputation was too dirty and would implicate himself. Chen Guanlou nodded, "Jiang Tu said that everyone in the Jiang Mansion is at your disposal." Sun Daoning sneered, "How can Jiang Tu say that? Did you tell him about the relationship between you and me?" "You are joking. I know the rules. But I can guarantee that Jiang Tu will not object to anything I say. He is now risking his life to survive and turn things around. He is willing to let everyone in the Jiang Mansion die and live alone." Sun Daoning smiled and suddenly changed his words and said, "According to what you said, Jiang Tu cannot be kept. I want his property, but I think he is redundant. If you can do this, I promise to give you an official position and money. You can take five points from Jiang Tu's property, how about it?"
