Chapter 1689

"Since ancient times, treacherous officials have not had a good end, Xie Changling wants to land safely, I'm afraid it's impossible. Tan Zhang, as Xie Changling's student, his future is worrying."

Medical Official Mu said a fair word.

No need to count the dynasties, just say the three hundred years of history of the Great Gan Dynasty, there are two digits of treacherous officials, none of them had a good end.

The closest one, in the early years of Emperor Taixing, the court was more noisy than it is now.

As a result, those ministers have already been annihilated, only Emperor Taixing laughed to the end.

Don't look at how glorious Minister Xie is now, look at it ten years later, who laughs and who cries is hard to say.

"Everything is possible. Minister Xie wants to land safely, maybe it's not impossible." Chen Guanlou said mysteriously, "The lessons of the past, we can see, Minister Xie and the others naturally can also see. Could it be that they have no preparation at all?"

"What preparation? Can't rebel." Medical Official Mu's simple idea, as a minister, if the ruler wants the minister to die, the minister has to die!

He didn't think Minister Xie would have a chance to turn the tables in the future.

He has lived for decades, and has seen treacherous officials with monstrous power, overnight becoming prisoners, and their families being slaughtered.

He has also seen street ruffians with no money, overnight becoming treacherous officials most loved by the Emperor.

Life encounters are hard to say.

In summary, imperial power eats everything!

The Emperor may not necessarily eat everything, but imperial power can definitely eat everything.

Ministerial power cannot beat imperial power in the end.

With the Jixia Academy taking the lead in protecting the Emperor, more and more officials will take the initiative to join the royalist party. With the decline of one and the rise of the other, Minister Xie's glorious days are not many.

"Old Mu, your thinking is narrow. The road in the world is not just the road of rebellion."

Medical Official Mu didn't believe it, "My lord, don't fool me. I am not a three-year-old child, I have seen the wind and clouds, since ancient times, few treacherous officials have had a good end. It can even be said that none of them have had a good end. Either die, or rebel. Moreover, nine out of ten treacherous officials who rebel will fail."

"You are right, historical experience, there is evidence. However, since you want to walk a new road, naturally you have to avoid the old historical road. You cannot use past experience to walk today's road."

"I don't understand. My lord, don't sell the secret."

"If I say it, it won't work. Let's wait and see."

In the following days, Chen Guanlou talked to Tan Zhang several times.

He found that the one surnamed Tan not only had the intelligence of a scholar, but was also extremely arrogant and bold, like a gambler.

He had asked the other party, "You are a disciple of Minister Xie, don't you know the risks involved. Once Minister Xie fails, others still have a chance to preserve themselves. And you, as Minister Xie's student, are the first in line, and you will not be able to be an official for life even if you are not exiled."

Tan Zhang was full of righteousness.

"Of course I know the risks involved! As the saying goes, wealth is sought in danger, I am a disciple of Minister Xie, I don't need to do anything, in a short time, I can become famous all over the world. Scholars all over the world envy and envy me, everyone knows me, Tan Zhang.

After embarking on the official career, it is even more smooth, colleagues in the yamen, superiors, all take care of me, never give me shoes to wear, never make things difficult for me, and never let me carry the black pot. As long as Minister Xie is in the position for one day, my official career will be smooth."

Speaking of speculation, what a righteous and confident look.

This guy is also a person with a thick face and a black heart,

"Are you sure it's smooth? Then what are you now?" Chen Guanlou looked down at the other party, having become a prisoner, yet still daring to speak big words.

"Just a little setback, not worth mentioning. With the experience of the Heavenly Prison, I believe my official career will go smoother and I will make more political achievements! Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, you have never officially entered the officialdom, you don't know that the officialdom is full of crises. Without a backer, even if you are a top scholar, you will waste half your life and achieve nothing.

I come from a farming family, my family only has thin assets, no backer, no background. The only thing I can rely on is my own knowledge and brain. Minister Xie values me and is willing to accept me as a student, it is my great honor. Even if one day Minister Xie encounters disaster, I will never regret it! Compared to thirty years of wasting time, I would rather have ten years of glory!"

Tan Zhang smiled disdainfully, looking like he had ambition and was not afraid of anything.

Relying on righteousness, he could survive.

But looking at what he did, where is the righteousness.

Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue in wonder.

Xie Changling's student is the same as him, smart, gambler, crazy.

"You are humble. Your family in the local area can also be considered to have quite a lot of assets."

"It's just a few hundred acres of land, compared to a real noble family, it's not even as good as the gatekeeper at their door." Tan Zhang is not humble, but seeking truth from facts.

Coming to the capital, seeing what wealth is, he knew what he should pursue in this life.

He has talent, has a brain, has eyesight, he should be a minister, wealthy. While pursuing promotion and wealth, by the way, doing some practical things for the common people, it already exceeds 99% of the officials in the world, and can be called a conscientious official.

Chen Guanlou told him, "Poverty and wealth depend on who you compare with. According to you, even a noble family, compared to the Emperor, is nothing. There are people outside people, heaven outside heaven. Your family can afford to let you study, without falling into famine, it cannot be called poor. Moreover, since you became an official, how many times has your family's assets turned over, have you calculated?"

He did not agree with the other party's statement.

Poverty and wealth are never compared.

What is called poor? Not having enough to eat, not having enough to wear, not having a place to cover your body, is called poor. Instead of saying, someone is more difficult than you, almost starving to death, you at least have something to eat, so you are not poor.

Poverty is not compared.

Similarly, wealth, having money, having leisure, having food and drink, having a house, is called wealth. Instead of, who has how much family assets, how many houses, how much savings, compared to them, you are a poor ghost.

Comparing like this, there are no poor people in the world, and no rich people!

"Doing official business for thousands of miles is just for money, I never hide the idea of wanting to live a wealthy life, I don't think there is anything wrong."

"I didn't say you were wrong! Just remind you not to be too exaggerated. Looking at your confidence, how long do you estimate you can get out of prison? Can you get out of prison before the end of this year?"

Tan Zhang really pondered this question.

He thought for a while and said, "I shouldn't be able to get out before the end of the year. I estimate I can get out in March or April next year."

"Where is the basis?" Chen Guanlou was very curious.

There are many academic gods in the prison cell, but there are not many academic gods with good brains like Tan Zhang.

Tan Zhang hesitated for a moment and said seriously: "The struggle between Minister Xie and the Emperor will have a result at the latest before the spring plowing and summer harvest next year."

"Why is it spring plowing and summer harvest?"

"Summer grain is put into storage, the court has money, which can alleviate 90% of the contradictions. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen loves money, and I love money. People who love money know that money can solve 99% of the problems in the world. The remaining one percent is just that the money is not enough. Add money, and it can be solved! The only thing money cannot solve is life and death!"
