After leaving the cell, Chen Guanlou hurried to the official room.

Sure enough, Sun Daoning was already drinking tea and waiting for him in the office room.

"Old Sun, what's going on? How come Mr. Zuo was arrested and thrown into a prison? If your own people arrest your own people, you won't be afraid of being stabbed in the back, and you won't be afraid of the people below rebelling against you."

"Isn't it good to be imprisoned in Tianlao?" Sun Daoning put down his tea cup, "If he is not imprisoned in Tianlao, should he be imprisoned in Zhao Prison, Dali Temple, or in the Shaofu? Imprisoned in Tianlao, I am doing my best to protect him. You Don’t be influenced by someone with the surname Zuo.”

He looked very unhappy and aggrieved at being misunderstood.

Chen Guanlou immediately clicked his tongue, "It is indeed the best decision to be imprisoned in the sky prison. You haven't said yet, why was Mr. Zuo suddenly arrested? What is he doing? What specific things did he commit? I took a look. The file only mentions corruption and bribery, but nothing else. When did a high-ranking official of the third rank get thrown into jail for just one act of corruption? When did the imperial court become so incorruptible?

He was full of sarcasm, but he was not polite at all.

Low-level officials may be investigated simply for corruption and thrown into jail.

However, it is impossible for a third-rank official in the court to be sent to prison just because of corruption. Even if the Yushitai wanted to impeach someone, they would not just focus on corruption, they would definitely find other more critical and fatal charges. For example, forming a party for personal gain is a very lethal crime.

What is the emperor most afraid of?

They are afraid that important ministers in the DPRK will form cliques for personal gain, engage in factions and party disputes, and exclude dissidents.

Once the accusation of forming a party for personal gain was planted, the emperor would make up his mind to investigate a third-rank official.

It's not written in the dossier, it means there is no clique for personal gain. It only writes about corruption, does it mean that a third-grade official was arrested just because of corruption?

Did Emperor Jianshi want to organize officials?

What nonsense!

If Emperor Jianshi had the determination, perseverance and means to govern, he would really look at the other party three times, no, ten times!

But looking at Emperor Jianshi's past behavior, this is absolutely not possible.

"Old Sun, don't be silent! What happened in the court?"

"Don't you understand what happened?" Sun Daoning sneered, "Your Majesty is full of wings and is going to start cleaning up the old ministers in the court. Mr. Zuo is one of them."

"Such a cleaning method?" Chen Guanlou laughed, "It's too rough. Don't you think it's too chaotic? The north and the south are at war, so why do you still want to play this trick?"

"I'm just asking you, does it work?" Sun Daoning asked.

Chen Guanlou was stunned for a moment, then patted his cheek and said, "I am superficial. The emperor only cares about the results and does not care about the process. Although the methods of people doing things are rough, they do work. Corruption is also a crime, and the court really wants to investigate the crime. That’s right, there’s no way to deny it. But if it’s just corruption, does that mean there’s no need to behead?”

Corruption is a good crime. It can be used to attack and retreat, and it can be defended. It may seem rough, but in fact it has been carefully thought out, and it also leaves an escape route for the veterans who have been purged.

Corruption can be pardoned by His Majesty with just one word!

After the pardon, consciously return to your hometown to retire. He also kowtowed to thank His Majesty for his kindness, but did not pursue it to the end.

Tsk!

He began to doubt, "Could this be Xie Changling's handiwork?"

"How could you doubt him?"

"Old Sun, don't forget, I have been dealing with Xie Changling for a year. When he was in the sky prison, I talked to him every three days. I dare not say anything else, but I still know a little about Xie Changling. He is a Yin-Yang person. This thing is a bit like his handiwork. He seems to be careless in doing things, but in fact he has considered everything. "

Sun Daoning smiled, and the smile was very forced, "I guess you were right. This matter was exactly Xie Changling's handiwork. He arrested the veteran minister of the court on a not-so-serious charge. After that, His Majesty granted him a pardon. He played a bad role. His majesty made a fool of himself. The monarch and his ministers had a tacit understanding and worked together perfectly to eliminate the old ministers without triggering strong backlash and resistance in the court. The transition from the old to the new was completed smoothly. "

"So, the person surnamed Xie will be the next candidate for prime minister. Look at what he did. It's beautiful! The ministers were imprisoned and suffered in the cell for a month or two. When the results of the discussion in the court came out, His Majesty issued a decree to pardon them. ,Perfect!"

Chen Guanlou sincerely praised him.

When Xie Changling was in prison before, he could tell that the other party was a top-notch academic and smart man, a natural candidate for court battles.

The deposed prince taught the other party a very profound lesson. Since then, he has learned lessons, summed up his experience, and become more sophisticated and mature in his work. As time goes by, he will definitely become the most eye-catching and youngest prime minister in the world.

A second of silence for the rebels like King Cheng and King Guo Dachun of Chu.

"Now that you know everything, you know what to do next."

"Don't worry, Old Sun. I will definitely take good care of Mr. Zuo and try my best to meet his requirements. When the day is released, I will set off firecrackers to send him out of prison."

Sun Daoning laughed, "It's not a big deal to set off firecrackers. Mr. Zuo doesn't like these external forms. He prefers the internal luxury."

"No money!"

Chen Guanlou spread his hands and cried decisively. The sense of ritual only costs a few dollars, and firecrackers are only worth a few dollars. Intrinsic luxury requires real money.

Who doesn’t love inner luxury?

He likes it too!

However, that requires money.

Mr. Zuo is so capable, why should he be allowed to spend money? He didn't expect to make money from the other party. He was already a liberal for the sake of being an official in the Ministry of Punishment.

"If you don't have money, just do it as if you don't have money." Sun Daoning was also very straightforward. If you want to ask him for money, no way! There's no use crying poor!

You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you run a household!

Tianlao is a revenue unit and can be completely self-sufficient. Going to the Ministry of Justice every day to ask for money and food is not decent!

Chen Guanlou was furious, "When you mention money, Old Sun, you change your face. Even a chameleon can't change as well as you do. Look at how stingy you are. Can't you be generous occasionally?"

Sun Daoning snorted coldly, very dissatisfied, "Do you still want to repair the cell? Repairing the cell doesn't cost money! Do you think the Ministry of Works will provide free labor and materials? Dream on! The Ministry of Works has been polite by not taking the opportunity to blackmail the Ministry of Justice.

In two days, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works will come to repair the cell. If you have any requirements, tell them. However, you should be frugal. The silver approved is not much, not enough for you to make a big fuss.

According to my opinion, your office can still be used, so don't renovate it. It's a waste of money. Also, during the repair period, people go in and out, pay attention to safety. Don't let people take advantage of the loopholes!"

Chen Guanlou: ...

The sky is falling!

His office renovation plan has not even started, and he was declared bankrupt.

"Approve a few hundred taels of silver, do you want to die?" He was furious and asked directly.

"If you approve one more ounce of silver, I will die!" Sun Daoning is even more ruthless than him!
