Chapter 629: Deliberately currying favor
The Heavenly Prison has added a few newcomers.
Minister Li's student was imprisoned; this is a heavyweight figure, far more important than Li Ren and He Cheng among the officials of the Li line. Because this person works in the Ministry of Personnel, his rank is not the highest, but his position is extremely critical.
Chen Guanlou gave an order to lock him next to He Cheng to keep him company.
The Li line's combat effectiveness is not good!
Being beaten by others, it feels like there is no power to fight back. Or, the counter-attack methods are too low, not touching the key points.
In short, Li Ren and the three became a major highlight of the Jia-grade big prison.
Chen Guanlou has to go to the big prison every now and then to watch the fun and chat a few words.
Facing Minister Li's student, Magistrate Qiu, he said with great emotion: "A good person, how could he be locked into the Heavenly Prison."
Magistrate Qiu is a very steady middle-aged man, arching his hands, "Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is free today to come and visit me; I am very grateful."
"Magistrate Qiu is polite. The court has been very lively recently. Have you seen it, Magistrate Qiu?"
"I saw it! Zhang Yushi Zhao is a ruthless person who does things without sticking to one pattern." Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to incite hot-blooded young officials to besiege Zheng Daochong. The scene was made very big, the atmosphere was made very stiff, and the Emperor also lost face, but he couldn't get angry.
Censors impeaching officials, hearing rumors and playing things, this is the duty. Unless it is a false accusation!
It is very clear that Zhao Mingqiao's accusation against Zheng Daochong is definitely not a false accusation. The things Zheng Daochong did, especially when he was a mining supervisor, were not very secret. Plus, he offended many people, and a lot of people were willing to send evidence to Zhao Mingqiao, serious evidence, evidence with time, place, witnesses, physical evidence, and complete events.
With such hard evidence in front of him, it is not wrong to accuse him.
Zhao Mingqiao's battle started vigorously from the beginning. It's just that I don't know the result. After all, Zheng Daochong is a favored minister. Thinking back to Jiang Tu in those years, he was also a favored minister, impeached every year, impeached every month, and it was a swarm of impeachments, the scale was much larger than it is now, but he was still sitting firmly in the position of Vice Minister of Works, sharing worries for the late Emperor.
I'm afraid Zheng Daochong will be the second Jiang Tu.
"Magistrate Qiu admires Magistrate Zhao very much?"
Chen Guanlou was very curious.
Magistrate Qiu looked at him and said: "I heard that when Zhao Mingqiao was in the Heavenly Prison, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen often chatted with him, and the relationship was close."
"Average, average! Before he passed the Jinshi exam, he lived next door to my house, so there is some friendship." Chen Guanlou was very open. His incense friendship with Zhao Mingqiao is known to those who should know in the court, and there is nothing to hide. I think Magistrate Qiu in front of him is also a person who knows.
"It is heard that Zhao Mingqiao was initially just a young man who was a bit naive and harbored ideals. Since being released from prison, he has made a lot of progress in his conduct and work, and his means have become more and more powerful. I know that person Lu Mingchuan; he only knows how to talk about some big truths, and he won't teach specific ways of doing things. Could it be that Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen taught him?"
"Magistrate Qiu thinks too highly of me? If I had the ability to teach Jinshi, how could I still be sitting in the position of Jiang Jiang Yucheng today, and I would have already entered the court to stir up trouble. Magistrate Qiu, don't make jokes in the future; no one will believe it if it gets out."
"Yes! I also don't believe it." Magistrate Qiu laughed at himself, but Zhao Mingqiao's changes are visible to the world. At the beginning, when Zhao Mingqiao was granted an official position, he had met the other party once and chatted. That was a naive and childish young man who didn't understand the world. Look at his current means of doing things; it is really a world of difference.
The change started from the Heavenly Prison.
If someone said before that Zhao Mingqiao's change had Chen Guanlou's credit, he wouldn't believe it no matter what.
However, now...
He couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen looks a bit young, has a high cultivation level, and doesn't seem to have anything special. However, the things he does, how can an ordinary Jiang Jiang Yucheng do them.
He is different from He Cheng and Li Ren next door. He is an official in the court, and his news channels are far more informed than the two. He not only has the Li family's news channels but also his own news channels.
The Ministry of Justice is fighting a lawsuit with the Ministry of Revenue, and several government offices under the Ministry of Justice have not received a penny of salary this year, and even grain and grass are in arrears. However, Chen Guanlou successfully obtained half a year's grain and grass; can this be an ordinary Jiang Jiang Yucheng?
This matter, if changed to any Jiang Jiang Yucheng in the past, could not be done, but Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen actually did it.
What does this mean?
It means that the other party not only has deep cultivation but can also reach the sky in the Ministry of Justice.
People who can reach the sky all have good brains, and people are really smart. Even if they are unwilling to engage in human relations, they must understand the rules of officialdom and know how to play with officialdom.
People can scold Jiang Tu for being ignorant, but no one has ever said that Jiang Tu is a fool. A fool cannot enter the late Emperor's eyes and cannot be a favored minister.
Magistrate Qiu smiled, "Zhao Mingqiao is stirring up wind and rain in the court; no matter what, I hope he can be proud."
"Magistrate Qiu also doesn't like Zheng Daochong?"
"We officials, no matter how big the backing and background are behind us, everyone climbed up step by step. The hardships involved are hard to understand for those who haven't experienced them. Zheng Daochong was favored by the Emperor and promoted several ranks in a row; not only me, but who in the court is not jealous, who can obey him? Virtue does not match the position, there must be disaster. Magistrate Zhao dares to speak directly, and I admire him from the bottom of my heart. I only hate that I am not in the court and cannot shout for Magistrate Zhao."
Magistrate Qiu looked regretful about missing the court's big events, appearing particularly sincere.
Regardless of whether this sincerity is true or false, Chen Guanlou is happy.
He just hopes that Zhao Mingqiao's team can expand rapidly.
"Magistrate Qiu has a heart! You are not in the court, but Zhang Yushi Zhao will definitely be able to feel your heart. If you have any needs, just put them forward, and I will try my best to satisfy them."
"Thank you, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, there is no special requirement for the time being; I will be satisfied if I have books to relieve boredom."
"This matter is simple; I will instruct someone to take a few books for you in a while. Change to new ones after reading."
"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is benevolent!" Magistrate Qiu arched his hands again, which was considered thanks.
After leaving the Jia-grade big prison, Chen Guanlou really instructed Chen Quan to take good care of Magistrate Qiu and not make things difficult for the other party.
Chen Quan was a little puzzled; they are all Li line people, why is the differential treatment so obvious.
Chen Guanlou smiled and said: "You don't understand! This Magistrate Qiu is an interesting one; he understands human hearts better than Li Ren and He Cheng, and he is smarter. From a little bit of clues, he inferred that I have a good relationship with Zhao Mingqiao, and he curried favor with Zhao Mingqiao, indirectly making me happy. He is so attentive, so I naturally have to return the favor and take care of him. Let his days in prison not be too difficult."
"How did the Warden see that he was deliberately currying favor?"
"An official of the Ministry of Personnel, to me, a small Jiang Jiang Yucheng, is arching hands and thanking me, and the topics chatted about are also what everyone is concerned about, not mentioning his own difficulties at all. If this is not currying favor, what is it. This group of officials, oh my, they are too good at guessing human hearts. My little thoughts have all been seen through."
After speaking, Chen Guanlou gave a smug smile. ===== CHAPTER 630 =====
