"Let Jixia Academy compete with Qingyun Sect. This matter is of great importance. I have to consider it carefully." Sun Daoning has always been as steady as an old dog and never takes risks easily. Without sufficient benefits, it is difficult to provoke him to take risks. Many times, he would rather choose to endure than act rashly. Even if he missed countless opportunities because of this, he never regretted it. He knows the ups and downs of officialdom, not fighting for the day, but only seeking stability and progress. Seeking stability has allowed him to avoid countless dangers. Those radical colleagues may have walked faster than him and risen higher than him at a certain period of time. However, they all fell one by one, either in prison, exiled to the border, or turned into a handful of yellow soil. Only he was steady and became a minister. "Old Sun, can you do it?" Chen Guanlou was very disgusted. This is not okay, and that is not okay. This needs to be considered, and that needs to be considered. He is neither decisive nor courageous. Cooperating with such a person is safe, but it is a bit depressing. Just getting beaten without fighting back is not in line with his style. He has always taken revenge on the spot. Only a gentleman would take ten years to take revenge. But he is not a gentleman! Sun Daoning is not a gentleman either, but he wants to learn to do things like a gentleman. "Do you think everyone is like you, doing things without caring about anything? In the court struggle, there is no room for error. One careless move will lead to a complete loss. This official may not win, but cannot lose."
Chen Guanlou: ... Not winning means losing! He looked up at the sky, with different ideas and unable to communicate. That's all. It's not his job to meddle in other people's affairs. He just stared at the Ministry of Justice for money and food. The Ministry of Revenue has money, and in fact, the Ministry of Justice is not short of money. So many cases have been handled, so many victims. Just talking about the Tianlao, the annual revenue is an astronomical figure. It's just that some money cannot be passed through the open road, and a separate account book must be set up. Otherwise, the Ministry of Revenue will have a reason to deduct the Ministry of Justice's annual budget. "Tell me about the third strategy." Sun Daoning played it safe from beginning to end. Chen Guanlou said straightforwardly, "The third strategy is very simple, find someone to kill Zheng." "No! Absolutely not. Officialdom has its own rules, and killing people cannot be done without going through the three judicial departments and without legal trial. Once this loophole is opened, the court will be in chaos. I will pretend I didn't hear this." "Then pretend I didn't say it." "You just mentioned the third strategy, aren't you just perfunctory to me?" Obviously the first and second strategies are so good, brave and strategic, and all aspects are taken into consideration, why does the third strategy become so simple and crude? Chen Guanlou coughed lightly, his face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he did not feel guilty at all. "Perfunctory? Old Sun, you can doubt my starting point, but you can't doubt my character. Why should I perfunctory you? I am your man, and I am still counting on following you to rise to the top." "Who is so-and-so's man? Don't talk nonsense! You are a man of the court, eating public food. What exactly is the third strategy?" "What is Zheng Daochong's martial arts rank?" "Fifth rank!" "With such a high rank, he is still an official in the court. Is this appropriate?" In the court, there are basically no officials with a martial arts rank as high as fifth rank.
First, as Sun Daoning said before, it is difficult to do two things at the same time due to the ups and downs of officialdom and trivial matters. If you concentrate on your official career, you can't concentrate on martial arts. The higher the martial arts rank, the higher the requirements, and you need to devote yourself to comprehending the essence of martial arts. Distracting yourself from others is very easy to go astray. The lessons of the past cannot be ignored. Of course, geniuses are exceptions. However, geniuses all pursue martial arts and basically do not get involved in officialdom. Second, the hidden rules of the officialdom. If your martial arts level is too high, just focus on martial arts and don't get involved in the right and wrong of the officialdom. Or you can join the army. The court is a place to govern the world, not a place to compete for martial arts skills. Zheng Daochong, with a fifth-rank cultivation, served as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, which obviously violated the hidden rules of the officialdom. "You mean, start with martial arts cultivation and attack Zheng Daochong?" Sun Daoning was inspired. Chen Guanlou pondered for a while. He didn't want to harm innocent people, and said: "This strategy is not easy to follow. If you are not careful, you will get burned." "I don't believe Zheng Daochong dares to kill people." Sun Daoning was angry and slammed the table angrily. "The best strategy is the second one." Chen Guanlou said sincerely, "Let Xie Changling's gang go to the front. They have a good relationship with His Majesty. One word they say to His Majesty is worth a hundred words from you. With them, as long as Zheng Daochong loses His Majesty's favor, the rest will come naturally." "I'm afraid Xie Changling and his gang are unwilling to be thugs." "Then let Jixia Academy be the thugs." "No, no!" It's not no, it's can't. Sun Daoning smiled bitterly again and again. Chen Guanlou thought too highly of him. How could he be so virtuous as to order Jixia Academy to be thugs. Chen Guanlou smiled knowingly and said confidently: "Jixia Academy has been infiltrating the court, and its influence on the court is becoming more and more profound. At this time, Qingyun Sect suddenly came out to interfere. How do you think Jixia Academy will thank them? Will they be vigilant? Don't think that these major sects have good relationships. The ones who want their colleagues to die the most are their colleagues. Jixia Academy probably can't escape this rule, and they must be hoping that Qingyun Sect will die." "I don't deny your statement. It's just... the risk is too high." "Wealth and honor are sought in danger." "What the hell!" Sun Daoning broke his defense, "I have just taken office as the Minister of Justice, and I still have many years before I can be promoted. It won't do me much good to make trouble at this time. As for the bottleneck of the Ministry of Revenue, I will think of a way." "Old Sun, Tianlao is so poor that it can't even make ends meet!" "Nonsense! You just got a fortune from Zhu Ruhai..." "The spoils are all divided." "That's nonsense. There is no sharing of spoils. Don't just tell us what you say. We are members of the imperial court, we eat from the public family, and we get our salaries on time. What's wrong with that? We can't even speak. It's simply ridiculous!" Chen Guanlou:...... Therefore, all officials know how to be competent and stand up, and they are self-taught, the basic methods of officialdom. He cannot stand. To divide the spoils is to divide the spoils, there is nothing that cannot be said. Let’s talk privately and openly! In other words, when you become an official, you still have to show off after receiving money. He rolled his eyes secretly, "In short, Tianlao has no money. All the money has been taken away by your punishment department. How about you change the rules and take less money. Leave more for Tianlao, so that everyone can eat. " "The rules cannot be changed." Sun Daoning spoke righteously and strictly. He already had a particularly righteous face with the Chinese character for the Chinese character. With a show of official authority, he said four words: upright and bright! "The prison cannot be opened, Old Sun. Let me tell you, the prisoners will definitely be the first to starve to death. By then, a large number of prisoners will die in the prison. Don't give me any trouble." Chen Guanlou directly threatened him.
Sun Daoning snorted coldly, "What is the situation in Tianlao? You can deceive others, and you can also deceive me. Even if Tianlao is not allocated funds for ten years, Tianlao will not be short of money, let alone food."
