Chapter 627: Youth Society

"Old Sun, you mentioned Yu Xiang for no reason; what exactly do you want to say? No matter what you want to say today, the slip must be approved. Either give me money or give me grain; in any case, you can't let me go back empty-handed. I am also a person who wants face."

Chen Guanlou made his position clear, not giving Sun Daoning a chance to drill loopholes. This group of officials is accustomed to drawing cakes to fool people and laughing it off. Not giving money when owed is simply a routine operation; they wish they didn't have to pay a penny, and the people below would work for free, preferably supporting themselves.

Chen Guanlou cannot indulge such a bad habit.

In this world, a superior like him who pays the people below on time and never deducts is a rare flower, unique.

He also came from being a corporate slave and a beast of burden; what he hates most is the boss treating words as farts, not paying wages on the day they should be paid, and always finding various reasons to delay.

Any company that pays wages on time and doesn't find excuses to deduct wages randomly is a good company.

Sun Daoning is definitely not a good official. How can a good official deduct money every day and let the people below show their magical powers to find food everywhere?

Saying the Ministry of Revenue is making things difficult.

He doesn't believe that the Ministry of Justice has no savings? Fooling ghosts.

I'm afraid the savings have all gone into the small treasury.

"I mentioned Yu Xiang to remind you to be careful. The court has been messy recently, and the censors have been dispatched, biting everywhere. The Heavenly Prison side is probably not going to be peaceful either. My good intentions were misinterpreted by you; you really don't know what's good for you."

"Stop talking about this and that, approve the slip!"

"Only one quarter of grain and grass."

"That won't do. It must be made up for half a year. There are thousands of people in the Heavenly Prison, eating and chewing; how much grain and grass will be consumed in half a year. If you don't make it up, you are sincerely wanting to starve the prisoners in the cell! My lord, have a conscience!"

"Stop talking nonsense; when have I ever thought about starving people. Enough, enough, I'll approve the slip for you. Don't make it public. If you approve it here, there won't be any elsewhere; if people know, the Heavenly Prison will be the target of public criticism. When the time comes, everyone will come to bother me, and how will I work."

Chen Guanlou smiled, "My lord, don't worry, I guarantee I will keep my mouth shut and never shout. You hurry up and approve the slip; while the time is still early, I will go back and call someone to collect the grain and grass."

As long as he didn't return empty-handed, he was happy.

He was happy, but Sun Daoning was not happy. He pinched his nose and approved the slip, telling him to get out quickly.

Chen Guanlou took the slip and waved his hand, "My lord, you must seize the opportunity to clean up Zheng Daochong. Otherwise, in a year or two, he will be even more favored, and it will be even harder to deal with him then. You have formed a feud with him, and he will definitely not let you go. One day, if a case is not handled properly, it will be the time for you to be impeached and attacked by the crowd. May I ask, my lord, can you handle it then? You are not good at eloquence; can you win a verbal battle with that group of censors?"

Heart-piercing!

When Chen Guanlou left, he didn't forget to pierce the heart.

To put it nicely, it's a reminder.

To put it bluntly, it's poking the heart. Revenge for the other party delaying the money.

Sun Daoning was so angry that his beard trembled, "Get out, get out, get out, my affairs are not for you to worry about. Zheng Daochong is a villain; how could I be afraid of him."

"He is a favored minister! Out of ten things he says, the Emperor can listen to at least five. May I ask, my lord, out of ten things you say, how many can the Emperor listen to?"

This knife stab almost made Sun Daoning pass out.

In terms of favor, he definitely can't compare to the villain Zheng Daochong. But as the Minister of Justice, he also has a seat in the Government Affairs Hall, has the right to participate in politics and discuss politics, and is qualified to give advice to the Emperor, and is also qualified to attend the small court meeting. Zheng Daochong has none of these.

Relying on these, although he hates Zheng Daochong, to be serious, he really didn't put the one surnamed Zheng in the same position, just treating the other party as a sycophant.

Since he is a sycophant, as long as he seizes the opportunity, the court officials will naturally attack him together, without him needing to incite or calculate.

However, Chen Guanlou's words also reminded him.

In another year or two, Zheng Daochong will probably be even more favored. At that time, it is hard to guarantee that the Emperor will not promote him. What if Zheng Daochong also enters the Government Affairs Hall? What should be done?

Absolutely not allowed!

Must seize the opportunity before the one surnamed Zheng climbs up, and press him firmly in his position.

"I have my own plans; stop being a crow's mouth."

Although he admitted in his heart that Chen Guanlou's words made sense, he absolutely refused to admit it in his mouth. Absolutely cannot give the thief surnamed Chen a good look.

Why?

Because the other party will climb onto his nose and face, and make more and more demands.

This is his past experience and lesson, which must be learned.

Chen Guanlou laughed and left. He just reminded him casually; whether he listens or not is Sun Daoning's business. If the Ministry of Justice changes people another day, he won't be afraid.

Sun Daoning was still pondering how to deal with Zheng Daochong and where to start.

Unexpectedly, there are people in the court who are iron-headed, regardless of anything, not looking at the wind direction, not looking at the eyes, not looking at the situation, just because they can't stand Zheng Daochong, they rushed up and fired at Zheng Daochong.

This person is Zhao Mingqiao, known as the shit-stirring stick.

After Emperor Emperor Jian Shi succeeded to the throne, I don't know which big shot looked at Zhao Mingqiao favorably and arranged for him to be in the Censorate as a censor.

Zhao Mingqiao being a censor is like dry wood meeting a raging fire, a good horse matched with a good saddle, a mouth cannon entering a professional mouth cannon company; it can be described as complementary, and it is called smooth.

Zhao Mingqiao's external image is both a shit-stirring stick and hot-blooded and impulsive, holding a heart for the country and the people, moving forward bravely, not afraid of thorns, and is the most sincere.

It is also this image and this character that attracted a large group of young hot-blooded officials and hot-blooded students to gather around him, taking him as the leader, and charging upon hearing the order.

When the late Emperor was there, their small group had not yet formed a climate, and the number of people was not large. Although they entered the eyes of some people, they only stopped there.

It wasn't until the altar explosion case happened, when the late Emperor was in a coma, that the small group led by Zhao Mingqiao was very eye-catching, which attracted more people's attention.

Also because of their actions when the late Emperor was in a coma, they attracted more young officials and students. The small group expanded rapidly.

Zhao Mingqiao was brainwashed and instilled with various rebellious thoughts by Chen Guanlou all day long when he was in the Heavenly Prison. At first, he just listened to it, and didn't take it seriously after being released from prison. It wasn't until a series of things happened later that he gradually took Chen Guanlou's rebellious words to heart and savored them carefully.

Faction!

Now his small group is clearly the prototype of a faction.

But he knows the truth that a tall tree catches the wind.

So he decisively took measures, did not establish a faction, but established a society. Named "Youth Society"!

Anyone who is like-minded with him must join the society and become a member of the Youth Society.

How this society should go, and in which direction it should go, he was confused, chaotic, and even wavered at the beginning, and even fell.

But he was determined, and before he sank, he woke up.

He remembered what a certain person surnamed Chen said.

What is orthodoxy?

Monarchs and ministers, above imperial power, having the legitimate heir is orthodoxy. However, this belongs to narrow orthodoxy.

Letting the people of the world have food to eat, clothes to wear, houses to live in, tillers having their own land, children being able to enjoy education fairly, and the elderly being cared for. The powerful have fear, the people can be happy, and always leaving a channel for the common people to rise, such things are broad orthodoxy!

If the person on the throne cannot do it, or even acts perversely, what should be done? ===== CHAPTER 628 =====
