Chapter 1691

"Does your teacher Minister Xie know your thoughts?" Chen Guanlou was slightly curious.

Tan Zhang raised his head, "I follow Minister Xie's lead, if the teacher points east, I will never hit west."

Treacherous!

At this moment, Tan Zhang in Chen Guanlou's mind is a treacherous official.

Xie Changling is also a treacherous official, but Xie Changling's treachery is not the treachery of a villain, on the contrary, it is a bit majestic. After all, one move of his, the influence covers the whole world.

All common people will be affected by one decision of Xie Changling, even their lives will be affected.

This guy Tan Zhang, the feeling he gives is the treachery of a villain! As time goes by, he will definitely be a person who will do anything to achieve his goals, and the means are even very low, without any majesty.

Moreover, he himself has a clear understanding of this, knowing that he is essentially a villain.

Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue twice, "You are so hypocritical!"

Hearing this, Tan Zhang was neither angry nor ashamed, nor was he proud of it.

His face was calm, "Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen looks down on me, despises me?"

"No! On the contrary, I admire you very much. You have a brain, you can let go, as time goes by, as long as Minister Xie doesn't fall, your future is limitless."

"I think so too." Tan Zhang said with a smile, smiling quite gently.

Must admit, Tan Zhang's appearance is very good, looking like a scholar, convincing. Belongs to the kind of person with good popularity. If he becomes a parent official in the future, he will definitely be able to win the trust of the common people.

I don't know if it is a blessing or a misfortune for the common people to encounter such a treacherous parent official.

"So, I will definitely do my best to maintain Minister Xie! Anyone who opposes Minister Xie is my enemy. The Jixia Academy must be eradicated, and the students of the Jixia Academy must roll out of the court."

In the previous second, Tan Zhang was still smiling gently, a good person. In the next second, he was angry, showing murderous intent, looking like he was going to kill.

Chen Guanlou praised, a cow person does cow things.

"Are you sure you can eradicate the Jixia Academy? The Jixia Academy has a history of hundreds of years, longer than the Great Gan Dynasty, and its disciples are all over the world. It has only been low-key for the past ten or twenty years. Before, it was a well-deserved number one academy in the world. It's not something you can eradicate just by saying so."

Tan Zhang smiled confidently, "The Jixia Academy has a deep foundation, using conventional means, it is indeed impossible to eradicate, and it will even attract criticism from the world. But I have never said that I want to use conventional means to eradicate the academy! The use of power, I have seen a glimpse, and have some ideas. If Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is interested, why not discuss it."

The style of a big devil!

Properly a villain!

Chen Guanlou's eyes moved, looking the other party up and down, did he underestimate the other party, or did the other party hide too deeply.

"Minister Tan, I found that you are a bit crazy? Does your teacher Minister Xie know this side of you?"

"Hahaha... if you are not crazy, you cannot live! I am a child from a farming family, no background, no backer, can pass the top scholar exam, just relying on my brain is not enough. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen. Could it be that you are afraid?"

"Afraid is not quite right. It's just that I have encountered many crazy people, none of them had a good end, and they like to cause trouble the most. If you are crazy, I will definitely stay away from you, so as not to cause trouble."

Chen Guanlou did not hide his disgust, he hated people who caused trouble the most. Crazy people are the most annoying, and people who are half-crazy and half-crazy with smart brains are the most annoying.

Because no one can guess what the other party will do, what they will say.

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is really disappointing!" Tan Zhang sat back on the bed board, sitting like a big horse, "No wonder you are willing to live in the Heavenly Prison for twenty years, clearly having so many opportunities, but refusing to move. We are really not on the same path."

"Everyone has their own path! Your path is promotion and wealth, being a minister, using the world as a chessboard, playing wantonly. And I, have my own path?"

"Martial Dao?" Tan Zhang asked curiously.

"Yes and no!" Chen Guanlou laughed.

Tan Zhang understood in his heart, "I also have martial veins, but I gave up Martial Dao. The martial arts hall in our local area has a gap compared to the capital, but the fees are reasonable. But even so, for our family, reading plus practicing Martial Dao is also a heavy burden. I thought about it carefully, gave up Martial Dao, and chose to read! If I chose Martial Dao, maybe I wouldn't reach the Ninth Rank in my life. But reading is different, without much effort, I passed the top scholar exam. It can be seen that reading is easier."

Listen to this, let the vast number of students listen to this, what is called passing the top scholar exam without much effort.

This is really asking for a beating.

Tan Zhang didn't have this realization at all, still unconsciously 'showing off'.

"Reading is very expensive, from scholar to juren, hundreds of taels of silver are definitely needed. If you practice Martial Dao, this bit of silver can barely reach the early stage of the Second Rank. What can a Second-Rank warrior do, nothing more than be a thug, looking at the master's face to eat. If it is the Fifth or Sixth Rank, thousands of taels of silver are not necessarily enough. Relatively speaking, reading has a higher cost-performance ratio.

I calculated roughly, from my enlightenment to passing the top scholar exam, the cost was about 2,000 taels. However, after I passed the juren exam, I started to earn money. Properly speaking, the money my family spent on me to read, the real money spent was from enlightenment to juren, only a few hundred taels. And my return is ten times, a hundred times. Reading is my path, being an official is also my path, being a minister is my goal. My path, currently looking, is far more cost-effective than Martial Dao, more suitable for a child from a farming family. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, am I right?"

Chen Guanlou nodded in agreement, "For a child from a farming family with talent for reading, your words are the ultimate truth. But for a child from a farming family who cannot read, your words are fart. So, different paths do not conspire, there is no need to force yourself to try to convince the other party, it is meaningless"

"Reasonable!" Tan Zhang nodded, "My path depends on Minister Xie, so I can only win and not lose. If I pay you, can you help me kill someone."

"Who do you want to kill?" Chen Guanlou smiled but didn't smile, "Declare in advance, although I take money to do things, I am not a thug, let alone a killer."

Tan Zhang chuckled, stood up, leaned closer and whispered: "Why not kill the Duke's brother-in-law Li."

"Why kill him? He doesn't hinder you, and he can't influence the overall situation." Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows, looking at the other party, he is really a crazy person, he will only make trouble.

Tan Zhang explained: "Killing the Duke's brother-in-law Li, Imperial Consort Li will definitely make a scene. The Emperor, don't look at his progress in the past two years, in fact, he is still that impatient, irritable and harsh person. The more anxious he is, the easier it is to make mistakes. I just want to try, kill Li Yanmo, and force the Emperor to make blind moves."

Chen Guanlou's expression was indescribable, very disgusted.

"Minister Tan, if it were your teacher Minister Xie, he would never spend money to hire a killer to kill the Duke's brother-in-law Li. If he really wanted to deal with the Duke's brother-in-law Li, he would have plenty of upright means, no need to take risks and stain his reputation. Compared to your teacher, the gap is obvious. Like you, you still want to be a minister, be careful to be overturned on the way, dig out your dark history, and pull you off the horse directly.

If you want to be a Prime Minister, from reading, you must stand upright. Even if your mind is not upright, you must be upright in doing things, your hands must be clean, and people cannot catch your handle. Learn more from your teacher's means, don't be smart."
