The matter of sacrifices is bullshit in Chen Guanlou's eyes. Even the most serious matters were discussed in the morning, triggering the whole military campaign. The court was completely disgraced. Is such a small matter worthy of a large-scale discussion? Wasn't it the emperor's decision? Since it is brought up for discussion, there must be nothing good to hold back. Someone behind the scenes wants to use this to cause trouble. What exactly are you going to do? Either the emperor wants to recruit a certain minister or a certain faction. Or some force wants to be the emperor! Anyway, things in the court are nothing more than messing around. The key is, who did it? Who is the beneficiary behind the scenes? Standing in Chen Guanlou's position, this is the problem that troubles him, and it is also the problem that he has never been able to see through. He ordered Mu Qingshan, "Count up the prisoners on death row in the sky prison, imprison them together, and keep them under strict guard. None of these people can die before offering sacrifices to heaven."
If the higher ups ask for a sacrifice, but the sacrifice dies early, everyone in the Tianlao will have to walk around without food. "Are you going to sacrifice to heaven again?" Mu Qingshan was very surprised. It has only been a few years since the sky-sacrifice bombing, and we are about to worship the sky again. The emperor really didn’t learn his lesson! "Why do you care so much? The emperor is the destined emperor, and it is natural for the emperor to offer sacrifices to the sky. Besides, it is spring, so it is not too much to pray to God for good weather this year. It is not too much to pray for the prosperity of the country, and for the death of all the rebels. I want to pray. There are too many things to do, so we should give more sacrifices to God.” Chen Guanlou talked nonsense seriously. Mu Qingshan's cheek muscles twitched twice, "Last time when we counted the people involved in the gangster case, we also counted the death row prisoners. There are currently twenty-eight death row prisoners." "so much?" "That's not much. Many of them have not yet been sentenced. The Ministry of Punishment is dragging its feet. If all are sentenced, the number of death row prisoners will be at least fifty." Mu Qingshan remembered all the numbers in his mind and could tell them with his mouth. "You asked Chen Quan to centralize the management of all death row inmates." "Dong Weng, the student believes that the emperor needs sacrifices to worship the heaven. If prisoners must be used as sacrifices, in fact, the gang of prison officials are the most suitable. They have status and status, and they have more cards than ordinary death row prisoners." "You are talking nonsense. What is a prison officer? A prison officer is not the same as a prisoner. A prison officer is a group with the court officials. What is a group means one's own people. If it were you, you would use your own people as sacrifices Is it useful? If you dare to do this, believe it or not, you won’t see the sun tomorrow.” People cannot betray their own class. Even if prison officers are preceded by the word "criminal", they still belong to the bureaucratic class. Their status and treatment are much higher than those of other prisoners. These prisoners may be released at any time, may revolt at any time, and stand in the court again to scold Fang Qiu. Mu Qingshan, Mu Qingshan, two hundred and fifty one. If you dare to talk nonsense, it is obvious that your ideological education is not in place. Chen Guanlou kicked the opponent directly, "Go away! If you are single-minded, you deserve to fail the imperial examination. You must know how to be flexible when thinking about problems. What is flexibility is to be able to draw inferences from one example. Let me ask you, why am I polite to serious scholars? ? Take care of them as much as I can? Because I consider myself a scholar. Of course I have to help my own people!” "Dong Weng, you are obviously a warrior, why do you think you are half a scholar? Why are you so rude to warriors?" Chen Guanlou was so angry that he kicked him out, "Go to your uncle and ask your uncle to brainwash you."
It's so annoying! He is a warrior. But he doesn't mix in the martial arts world or the martial arts circle. You haven't joined the circle yet, so you don't need to take care of him. After having lunch, Medical Officer Mu came to the official room to have tea and rest, and by the way, he said a few good words for Mu Qingshan. "Qingshan has a stubborn mind. You don't need to be acquainted with him. I've already taught him a lesson and told him to keep his mouth shut and not talk nonsense in the future. It's ridiculous to dare to ask a prisoner to be a sacrifice!" Chen Guanlou rolled his eyes and said, "This nephew of yours is hopeless. Don't let him get involved in officialdom. He will be killed sooner or later. To think of having a prison officer as a sacrifice is simply outrageous." Even the emperor dared not say such a thing. If the emperor dared to say such words, he would become an enemy of the entire bureaucratic class. Unless, sacrifices are removed from the bureaucracy. Even so, it will cause endless harm and cause people's hearts to be separated. The emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together, which is not just a casual talk. "Don't worry, sir. I have long given up the idea of letting him enter the officialdom. If he can guard you in heaven for the rest of his life, if you don't dislike him and are willing to use him as a master, this is his best way out." Medical Officer Mu is always nice to hear. Compared with Mu Qingshan, he is a judge of superiority. Chen Guanlou sighed, "Old Mu, you don't have to worry. As long as I stay in Tianlao for a day, Mu Qingshan can make a living in Tianlao. With me protecting him, no one dares to bully him. The premise is that he Committing suicide alone.” "Don't worry, sir. I've warned him. He should keep his mouth shut when he goes out from now on. He's not allowed to discuss court affairs at will. Just chat about romance. His mouth is suitable for eating. How about sending him more errands?" It leaves him no time to think about things or go out and fool around.” Medical Officer Mu himself was worried. It seems that Emperor Jianshi was not a wise king, and his methods were far worse than those of the late emperor. If one day he was convicted for his words, he was really afraid that Mu Qingshan would bring trouble to the Mu family. "This is a good idea. I will add more burdens to him in the future so that he has no time to go out and fool around." Medical Officer Mu was relieved. "I don't know what the emperor was thinking, but he suddenly said that he wanted to offer sacrifices to heaven. Compared to the late emperor, hey..." No matter how stupid the late emperor was, he was still a wise king for the first thirty years. It's just that he is mediocre in his later years. Emperor Jianshi, what a good guy, even before he reached his old age, he gave people the feeling that this emperor was not very good. Especially in the minds of the people in the capital, Emperor Jianshi was far inferior to the late emperor. The late emperor basically never harmed the people of the capital, and he knew very well that rabbits do not eat grass near their nests. Emperor Jianshi was different. He treated local people and capital people equally. The heavy taxes, miscellaneous taxes and heavy corvee that the local people "enjoyed" must also be enjoyed by the people in the capital. The whole capital was about to be turned upside down, and there were a lot of curses in private. "It doesn't matter whether it's a sacrifice to the sky or the earth, we just have to work and eat public food. You old man, don't worry about it. Even if the sky collapses, there will still be tall people holding it up. It has nothing to do with us. Even if one day the sky changes and the earth changes, and a different surname sits on the dragon's throne, the sky The prisoners are still us, and we still have food to eat.” Authentic iron rice bowl! There is no need to worry about losing the iron rice bowl when the government changes, it is completely stable. There's just one disadvantage: the iron rice bowl rusts easily and can hurt your throat. Not as good as a golden rice bowl!
But golden rice bowls are easy to be snatched away by others, and killing people to seize treasures is not just talk. Each has its own benefits. Chen Guanlou comforted the anxious Medical Officer Mu, invited him to drink tea, and spent another leisurely day.
