After leaving Chen Guanxu in the logistics department, Chen Guanlou did not ask about his affairs.

He is not Mu Qingshan, who needs to be taught step by step. Such a smart person can bend and stretch. He can get along well in any environment and get along with the people around him.

After Mu Qingshan was protected by the door god, his spirit recovered quickly.

He not only drew the door god and posted it on the door of his home. He also drew the door god on the talisman paper, folded it up, and carried it with him as a talisman, saying that it can ward off disasters. All ghosts and monsters are scum in front of the door god.

Chen Guanlou felt that it was hard to describe.

"You went from one extreme to another. Xiao Mu, can we be fair and peaceful, and be a little more moderate."

Mu Qingshan held the amulet tightly, "Dong Weng, you are obsessed! You are not him, he is not you! He is the door god, are you the door god?"

This is a brain that studies philosophy!

Chen Guanlou felt that his brain was not enough for a moment. "Although he is not me, he was drawn with reference to my face, and the core is me!"

"No! Dong Weng, you are just a layman, and the door god is the god who protects mankind. Are you a god?"

"I am indeed a layman, but you have deified me!"

"Dong Weng, you are wrong again! It is not that I deified you. It is that I have found my spiritual sustenance. I can't think of any other appearance for the time being, so I use your appearance as a slight replacement. After all, I am a god, so I can't be too ugly. In short, I just borrowed your face for a while, and the core is my inner sublimation, which has nothing to do with you!"

"You use my face, so it has something to do with me. Unless you don't allow me to use my face!"

"Dong Weng, you are wrong again! The face is yours, and it is not yours. The face is a gift from God. I use the gift given by God, what does it have to do with you."

"You you you..."

It is very rare that Chen Guanlou is at a loss for words.

"You are quibbling, beating around in circles, talking nonsense, and there is no logic." He showed his daggers, unreasonable, and turned on the attack mode.

"Dong Weng, you are anxious! It proves that you have nothing to do with the door god. If you are a real door god, how can you be so angry because of a few words. If you are a fake door god, hide where it is cool, don't come out to get in the way."

"Mu Qingshan, are you rebelling?"

"Are you the parent official of this place? Killing officials to rebel, at least you have to kill a parent official to be considered a rebellion. A mere prison warden, you don't have the qualifications."

Chen Guanlou:...

Voice over!

Mu Qingshan, who has realized the sublimation, can be called a strong mouth, changing his previous weak chicken image.

He looked at the other party, the more he looked, the more disgusted he was, and said angrily: "Get out, get out, don't get in the way in front of me! Go back to your signing room and do your job well."

"Yes!" Mu Qingshan bowed and retreated, strictly observing the hierarchy, and there was no place to find fault.

Chen Guanlou could only complain to Doctor Mu, "What's wrong with your nephew Qingshan? He's so weird. Could he believe in some religion? I tell you, the Jinyiwei is extremely sensitive to various religions. You have to keep an eye on him and don't get caught."

"Your Excellency has misunderstood. He doesn't believe in any religion. He only believes in Confucianism. The reason why he's so weird, hey, this kind of thing has happened before. Don't worry, it will be normal after a while."

"Really? Don't fool me."

"How can I hide it from you, Your Excellency? You see, it won't be long before he will be honest."

"It's better this way!"

He really couldn't stand being used as a door god and a talisman. There was an indescribable sense of shame, so awkward that he dug his toes into the ground, wishing he could dig out a living room, two bathrooms and three rooms.

Before Mu Qingshan returned to normal, he decided to reduce the number of meetings between the two sides, or even avoid them completely. Official business was passed on by someone.

During this period, a major event happened in the court.

The battlefield in the south has been deadlocked for years. Although the attack of the rebel King of Chu was blocked, it was just a blockade. They were across the lake and could not do anything to each other. Every year, a large amount of money and food was consumed, but there was no progress in the war. A war to suppress the bandits became a war of attrition that lasted for many years.

No matter how rich the court was, it couldn't afford it!

So, under the calculation and operation of Xie Changling, in May, the commander-in-chief of the southern battlefield was replaced! The Minister of War took charge and personally went south to supervise the battle, determined to beat the King of Chu back, at least to his original fiefdom. Not seeking a decisive battle, but to take back the rich land occupied by the King of Chu and collect taxes!

Use the financial and tax revenue of the rich land to support the war in the south. In this way, a lot of money can be saved for the court.

This plan was fully supported by Emperor Jianshi, who rejected all objections and implemented Xie Changling's plan.

From this point of view, although Xie Changling does not have the title of prime minister, he already has the power of prime minister.

It is estimated that in two years, when Hai Da Ren retires or Yu Zhaoan retires, Xie Changling will take the position. Before he takes the position, he can suppress Yu Zhaoan and make him breathless. When he really takes the position, can Yu Zhaoan still do anything in the political hall?

Chen Guanlou has dealt with both of them.

Yu Zhaoan is a very obvious traditional scholar, cunning as a ghost.

But Xie Changling has many cards to play, and he is smart and good at calculating. He is stable and capable! When these two people face off, I dare not imagine how exciting and thrilling the open and secret struggles in the court will be.

Chen Guanlou only regrets that he can't watch the battle up close.

When he was free, he invited Chen Guanxu to the office for tea and chat, and asked him if he was adapting to the new job and whether he could get along with his colleagues.

Chen Guanxu naturally reported good news but not bad news. He praised Tian Lao for his good work and that his colleagues never made things difficult for him. By the way, he flattered Chen Guanlou, saying that under his management, everything in Tianlao was in order, comparable to a military camp.

Chen Guanlou waved his hand and smiled, "We don't dare to compete in the military camp, as long as it is better than the one next door. The DPRK asked the Minister of the Ministry of War to take command and go south to supervise the war. What do you think of this matter? You are a professional, you can make a bold prediction, the Ministry of War Master, can he do it?"

"Is that so? I heard that the court is raising taxes again?"

"There is a tax increase. But this time it is not targeted at the Gyeonggi region. Many people don't know. You are quite well informed."

"With enough money and food, and the personal leadership of the Minister of War, we will achieve the expected good results no matter what." Chen Guanxu said.

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is the Minister of the Ministry of War very good at fighting?"

"Whether you are good at fighting or not is not important. What is important is that you have enough prestige, can coordinate your generals, and give orders like an arm. With enough money and food, even a fool can achieve a pretty good result in this battle."

"Isn't it possible that General Gao, who was in command before, can't do it?" Chen Guanlou asked curiously.

Chen Guanxu thought about it for a while and then said: "As people get older, they miss the past, their hands are not ruthless enough, and their hearts are not dark enough. The eldest master is different. He is also in command. No less than 20 generals from all walks of life died under his account. I am not kind enough. It is a wise saying to control soldiers with righteousness but not with wealth!”

"Do you think the imperial court will definitely win?"

"If nothing happens, we will definitely win! As far as I know, this battle is led by Xie Gechen, and he will not allow this battle to fail! Even if the Minister of War is sacrificed to heaven, he cannot be defeated!"
