"You old man have something to say, and there are conditions." Chen Guanlou complained fiercely. The butler chuckled, quite proudly, "I have free time today, let's drink and chat slowly." Chen Guanlou took a sip of his wine and said, "Lao Sun is good at everything, but he is too steady in his work and not decisive enough. He is prone to indecision and indecision. Opportunities often come in a split second. With As for, he often misses something A fleeting critical opportunity. Of course, being stable also has its advantages. He is less likely to make mistakes, is solid in his work, and is not afraid of being criticized. In the past few years, he has been often impeached, but he has always been able to get through it safely because he is stable enough. . Others can’t catch him.” "It's good to be stable! Today's court needs officials who are dedicated to stability and don't dare to rush in easily. He has always had a bad relationship with Zuo Gong, and Lao Zuo has been dismissed from office. Now he is proud." "I don't see the pride, but I do see a little nervousness. With such a big opportunity right in front of me, I'm worried that he won't be able to grasp it." Chen Guanlou still wanted to speak for Sun Daoning. Lao Sun treats him like a brother, and he must treat Lao Sun as a half-brother. The head butler's eyes suddenly lit up. "You don't mind telling the prince about this, right?" "What do you want to do, old man?" "Share the burden for your brother Sun. You don't need to worry about this matter. I guess Sun Daoning also hopes that the Hou Mansion will show goodwill to him in time."
"You want to get involved in the Criminal Department?" "What is called interfering is called sharing worries. The Sun family background behind Sun Daoning is shallow. If he controls the criminal department by himself, he will be eaten up sooner or later. Officialdom is not that easy to mess with." The chief steward asked for permission, wrote a letter and sent someone to deliver it to the prince. Chen Guanlou was curious, "Don't we talk face to face?" "No need, the prince will make his own decision." The two continued to chat over food and wine, chatting about household affairs, gossip about the clan, and gossip about the Hou family. Chen Guanlou didn't even mention the candidate, so he wasn't in a hurry. Not long after, there was a reply from the eldest son, Chen Guanfu. After reading the reply, the chief steward showed a determined smile and burned the letter. "I will provide you with a candidate, and you guarantee that you will be satisfied." "who?" "Chen Guanxu!" Chen Guanlou was confused. Guan Zi generation must be his brother of the same generation. But, this name is really unfamiliar. The eldest steward asked calmly, "Do you know how many concubine brothers the eldest master has? Don't look at the fact that the Marquis Mansion only has the first and second bedrooms. At that time, the old Marquis's backyard was full of women and gave birth to many children. After the death of the Marquis, these concubine men all had their own families. Go. Let me tell you directly, the eldest master has a total of thirteen concubine brothers, including those who died young. This Chen Guanxu is the son of the eldest master’s legitimate concubine brother. Currently working as a book clerk in Shenji Camp.” "The Shenji Camp did a good job as an errand, why did he let him enter the sky to occupy his position?" Chen Guanlou didn't understand. It feels like a bit of a waste of talent. The chief steward explained unhurriedly: "Because he is not a military general. He has martial arts background. He was originally sent to the Shenji camp to let him start from the bottom and be promoted step by step to a partial general. Unfortunately, he was not good at that. He was too young, was plotted by others, and his martial arts was abolished. His career in the army was interrupted, and he changed his career to a book clerk. This kid has a flexible mind and ideas. After previous lessons, he is extremely cautious and courageous. The reason why I arranged for him to work with you in Tianlao is that he understands the intricate relationships among the noble families in the capital, and because he has been in the military camp for so many years. Many people in Liumen and the Criminal Department were formerly in the military camp. Third, the logistics department of the Ministry of Justice has more complex personnel than you might imagine. You must find someone who is familiar with the inner workings to share your worries. " "Why are you sharing my worries? You old man, please don't praise me. You arranged for such a powerful person to enter Tianlu to occupy a position in the logistics department. What's going on, are you going to get rid of me, an unsightly person?" Chen Guanlou was not polite at all and directly pointed out his doubts.
If Chen Guanxu goes to the prison, who will be the leader and who will be the deputy? The butler has no good intentions! "You just have too many minds and like to think the worst about people." "It's not that I like to think bad things about people. As the saying goes, if people don't do it for themselves, they will be destroyed! The essence of human nature is evil, self-interested, and exclusive. I have never seen selfless people, nor have I seen great chivalrous people. They are selfish. I have seen self-interest and treachery like a fox. Quite a bit. Don't talk nonsense to me. Just tell me, apart from the obvious benefits, why did you arrange for him to go to prison? If you can't convince me, I won't give you face. Don’t blame me for having a bad temper and disrespecting the elderly!” Chen Guanlou's nonsense all meant the same thing: the ugly talk comes first, the brothers will settle the score clearly, so don't talk to him about being of the same race and surname. In the face of interests and power, everything is bullshit. There must be something good for him. It’s not just the financial benefits. If he wanted money, he would just pick one of the jailers to occupy the position. There was plenty of money, so why go to all the trouble of finding someone from the clan. While benefiting your own people, you must not harm your own interests. This is the bottom line. "Look at you, you are anxious again. You always suspect that someone wants to harm you and use you as a stepping stone. Is there such an expensive stepping stone as yours? If I really want to use you as a stepping stone, I must at least be the prince or the young master. match." This makes sense. But... who is the stepping stone? This is such an ugly thing to say! The word "stepping stone" made Chen Guanlou very unhappy, mainly because he thought of Zhang Daohe, who deserved to be cut into pieces, and planned to use him as a stepping stone. "You old man, just talk, and I'll listen. If you're right, I'll follow your lead." "It's easy to use Chen Guanxu. He can occupy a position in the logistics of the Tianlao. After a while, he can occupy a position in the logistics of the Ministry of Justice." "If you want him to work in the Ministry of Justice, just arrange it directly. Why go so roundabout? Don't tell me that with the ability of the Marquis's Mansion, it doesn't even have the ability to arrange a clan member to work in the Ministry of Justice." "It's easy to enter the Ministry of Justice, but it's not easy to get involved in the logistics area. It has always been the private land of that gang. Zuo Gong has controlled the Ministry of Justice for many years. With Sun Daoning's ability, I'm afraid it's impossible to completely eliminate Zuo Gong's people. It's not that I doubt Sun Daoning's ability, but reality does not allow him to cut the grass and root it out. You see, the palace can't completely clean up the religious bandits, let alone the officialdom. There are too many branches and too many stakeholders. The departure of the surname Zuo does not mean that the circle of forces behind him has left. Do you understand?" Chen Guanlou nodded in understanding and understood. But he had a new question, "Why did the Marquis' Mansion want to get involved in the Ministry of Justice? Instead of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel?" "Because the Ministry of Justice is not noticeable, it is the weakest of the six ministries. The Jinyiwei is a frequent visitor to the Marquis' Mansion. If there is any movement in the Marquis' Mansion, the Jinyiwei will be nervous for a few days. If the Marquis' Mansion directly reaches out to get involved in the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel, the one in the palace will be nervous, and the master who is fighting on the front line will once again face the crisis of being recalled to the capital. Next time, there will be no second King Cheng to rebel and turn the situation around." Chen Guanlou:... He knew that King Cheng's rebellion was the work of the master!
