Chapter 409: Dead and Not Loosening His Mouth
Chen Guanlou couldn't really write down his thoughts and tell the other party. He felt that the other party had a trait of not fearing big things, the more chaotic, the more satisfied.
How to make a mess, the other party didn't reveal a bit. It seemed he just wanted to act as a planner, inducing others to make a mess.
Chen Guanlou didn't care about these.
Just like what those people in the clan said, he was quite alone; many times he would pay attention to, inquire about, or even participate in things just out of curiosity. Simply because of concern and anxiety, that was not there.
There are few people in this world who can make him care.
The evaluation of the clansmen toward him was not wrong; he was indeed very alone!
He also wanted to watch the excitement, so he smiled at the heir Chen Guanfu: "I will definitely take good care of the Great Ming Prince according to the heir's instructions. As for the silver required, I will send the bill later."
"Don't let the Great Ming Prince die in the Heavenly Prison, can you do it?"
"Should be no problem. The Great Ming Prince is of great importance. Once there is any mistake, the Heavenly Prison will be in trouble. Although the prison guards of the Heavenly Prison are a bit mixed, they know the importance and know what can be done and what cannot be done."
"That's good! However, I still want to remind you that there are many people who want the Great Ming Prince to die in the Heavenly Prison, and your work will become very busy later."
Chen Guanlou was surprised: "Is it because everyone doesn't want to see the Great Ming Prince sacrifice to heaven?"
"No!" Chen Guanfu revealed a bit of the truth: "The truth is that everyone doesn't want to see the Emperor use the Great Ming Prince's flesh and blood to sacrifice to heaven next year. Do you understand?"
Understand, understand too well!
Too many people can't see the old Emperor, hoping that the old Emperor will have bad luck for eight lifetimes. The sacrificial ceremony is extremely important, one of the important rituals to show imperial power, and the whole process cannot tolerate any mistakes.
The rebel Great Ming Prince, who is used as a tool for sacrifice, if he dies in the Heavenly Prison in advance, or if there is a mistake during the sacrifice, haha, that scene will be very embarrassing. The old Emperor's face will be lost, becoming a laughingstock for the world, and then heaven will warn that the sky of the Great Gan is about to end.
A set of chain punches, the damage is much stronger than any rebellion.
What is that?
That is the heart of the people!
The heart of the people who are panic-stricken!
Even the sacrifice to heaven can fail, meaning that heaven can't see the old Emperor and wants to destroy the sky of the Great Gan, meaning that the legitimacy of the Great Gan has suffered a devastating blow and has been questioned. How can the people not be panic-stricken?
The old Emperor has been in power for fifty years, imperial power is stable, and power is firmly in his hands. Wanting to shake the old Emperor's rule is by no means an easy thing.
Sacrifice to heaven is a very, very good opportunity. As long as the operation is appropriate, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort and complete the achievements that thousands of lives can't fill.
Chen Guanfu's reminder was very correct; the Heavenly Prison should be very lively next.
Chen Guanlou was a little annoyed; sure enough, it was a hot potato. And a little excited, let the storm come more violently!
"Many thanks to the heir for the reminder, I will keep a close eye on the Great Ming Prince." Chen Guanlou thanked him solemnly. The other party reminded him in advance, allowing him to have enough time to prepare. He accepted this goodwill, and he had to recognize this favor.
"The banquet is about to start, I won't keep you. Later, remember to pay your respects to the old lady. The old lady likes excitement."
"Understood!"
Chen Guanlou walked out of the study courtyard gate and bumped into Young Master Ye.
When the two met, Chen Guanlou was very calm, but the other party was a bit uncomfortable. It seemed he hadn't thought about meeting outside the Heavenly Prison.
Chen Guanlou took the initiative to greet him and said casually: "Zhang Wenfu is very good in prison, Young Master Ye, don't worry."
Young Master Ye:...
"Many thanks to Prison Clerk Chen for taking care of Brother Zhang. When Brother Zhang comes out of prison, I will personally go to the Heavenly Prison to thank you."
"Easy to say, easy to say. Young Master Ye is going to see the heir?"
"Yes! My cousin has something to do, I'm helping to run an errand to convey a message."
"Then you are busy, I will take my leave."
Chen Guanlou left with the beautiful maid.
Returning to the flower hall, it was just in time for the banquet to start. He sat at a table with his clan brothers and brothers, was arranged to sit in the main seat, was humble for a while, and finally sat down with peace of mind.
The wine and food were served, and he drank in a muddle. At the banquet, there was no lack of bragging and nonsense, and everyone was envying Chen Guanlou for making a fortune.
Being discussed, Chen Guanlou became silent instead, either denying or being humble, trying to be as low-key as possible. He is a person who indulges in enjoyment; if he has money, he must eat and drink, all kinds of enjoyment, and only when the money is spent is it called money. Therefore, his money-making things can't be hidden from people. Just calculate his visible daily expenses, and you can roughly know how much his monthly income is.
Chen Guanlou:...
Can only say that wealth moves people's hearts.
Everyone knows that he has a way to get rare antiques and calligraphy from imprisoned officials, and many people are thinking about this business. Being a prison clerk is too low, although it makes money. Doing business seems very decent and decent. Especially the antique calligraphy and painting business, which is very elegant and has high profits. It's just that everyone has no source of goods and no channels.
Now this problem is solved, with Chen Guanlou, the source of goods and channels are not a problem.
The key is whether he can persuade Chen Guanlou to let everyone join this business, make it bigger and stronger, and everyone make money together.
Chen Guanlou:...
"I am just collecting antiques and calligraphy for the old Marquis, what business, don't talk nonsense. I am not doing business. In the past two years, the old Marquis has not been at home, do you see me collecting antiques and calligraphy again? Sending gifts? In order to send gifts, I am looking for people everywhere, begging for grandfather and grandmother, relying on a little friendship, and finally collected suitable gifts. It has nothing to do with business."
No matter what others say, how to provoke, how to speak evil words, Chen Guanlou always has one attitude: nothing happened.
Want to cooperate in business?
Sorry!
He eats public food and doesn't do business. He doesn't do anything.
Help collect antiques and calligraphy?
Chen Guanlou laughed: "Those who can send me to do things, except for the old Marquis, only the officials of the Ministry of Justice. Let's talk when you become my superior. However, forcing subordinates to collect calligraphy and paintings as a superior seems to be a taboo! I can choose not to cooperate. If you have the ability, then remove me."
"Brother Guanlou, why are you so rigid? The opportunity to make a fortune, don't take it for nothing."
"I don't lack money!"
Damn!
This remark is hated by people.
Chen Guanlou put on an attitude of not entering oil and salt, no matter who came to say it, he wouldn't loosen his mouth. Say he eats alone, say he is selfish, it doesn't matter, anyway, it can't hurt him at all.
Conversely, if he loosened his mouth a little for the sake of the so-called face, he would definitely face endless trouble. The skill of climbing up the pole is a skilled hand for everyone present.
It's better to take advantage of the opportunity that everyone is here today to block all possibilities. As long as you want face, you will be embarrassed to find him to talk about business again in the future. ===== CHAPTER 410 =====
Conversely, if he were to yield even a little for the sake of so-called face, he would inevitably invite endless trouble. Everyone present was an expert at the skill of climbing up the pole once it was offered.
It would be better to take advantage of the fact that everyone was here today to block off all possibilities. If they had any shred of self-respect, they would be too embarrassed to approach him for business again in the future.
