Chapter 650: The Heavenly Prison set meal is worth having
The meeting ended.
Mu Qingshan couldn't wait to complain, "Proprietor, Prison Clerk Xiao fears he has two hearts."
This complaint was really not very clever.
Chen Guanlou patted the other's shoulder, his expression a bit heavy.
"For every brother under my command who is actively enterprising, this official supports them! Regardless of the environment, one must have dreams, understand?"
Mu Qingshan didn't understand. "Recently, Prison Clerk Xiao has started to pretend to read and study, and even bought brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones to practice calligraphy. That's fine, but he has started to pay attention to his appearance. Two days ago, the student even smelled a bit of fragrance on him. It's truly strange! All of this happened precisely when the Proprietor returned to the Heavenly Prison, so the student thinks it must be taken seriously. He is the Prison Clerk of the Jia-character big prison and the most useful person under the Proprietor. If he has two hearts, the student is worried he will spoil things. The Jia-character big prison cannot tolerate the slightest mistake."
Chen Guanlou:...
He tried to smile and praise Mu Qingshan for his loyalty, and indicated that he would pay attention to this matter. He told him not to be anxious.
"The Proprietor must take it seriously!" Mu Qingshan shouted.
Chen Guanlou pointed directly at the side room. "Go, do all the paperwork. Don't let this official see you being lazy."
Mu Qingshan:...
He buried his head in the documents, not having a moment of leisure.
Medical Official Mu was old and sophisticated, seeing through the world.
He laughed happily and said, "Both surnamed Xiao, both are bottom-level broken families. Xiao Changsheng gained the Emperor's favor, and Prison Clerk Xiao is jealous; that's normal."
"The Imperial Consort Xiao's family is not a broken family; they are at least an official family. It's just that they have been down on their luck in recent years."
Imperial Consort Xiao was an old person from the Donggong; it wasn't very clear what she looked like. But this woman, to put it bluntly, had good fortune and was easy to conceive. She gave birth to three children for Emperor Jian Shi in succession, two boys and one girl. Among the harem concubines, in terms of the number of children, she ranked first.
She could be titled Imperial Consort, firstly because she was an old person from the Donggong, having served Emperor Jian Shi for so many years; if there was no credit, there was hard work. Secondly, she could give birth, and had many children. The child is noble because of the mother, and the mother is noble because of the child. All three children were smart, sweet-mouthed, and knew how to look at the Emperor's expression.
On the contrary, the son born to the Empress was said to be a bit silly. It wasn't silly, just a bit stubborn; he understood flexibility but wasn't willing to be flexible.
As they grew older, father and son had privately quarreled several times.
There were no secrets in the imperial palace. Plus, with people pushing the waves, these things had long spread throughout the capital.
In the situation where the legitimate prince wasn't outstanding, Imperial Consort Xiao's market naturally rose. This wasn't it; Xiao Changsheng had gained the Emperor's favor again, tsk tsk, the Xiao family's wealth was aggressive! A pile of people went to the Xiao family to burn hot stoves.
Also surnamed Xiao, also broken families struggling in the capital, Xiao Jin was jealous; that was normal. Giving birth to the idea of jumping ship was also human nature. It was just that his brain wasn't very clear, blinded by wealth. Cool down, cool down; he estimated that after a period of time, he would be able to return to normal.
Medical Official Mu laughed. "In the eyes of those truly prominent families, the Xiao family is a real broken family. To lift up Imperial Consort Xiao, the Emperor specially bestowed a title on the Xiao family, which can be passed down for three generations. It is said that the harem was in an uproar because of this matter. There are already voices in the court asking the Emperor to establish an heir. Tsk tsk, the harem will be even more lively and dangerous in the future!"
"Could it be that court officials are asking to establish Imperial Consort Xiao's son as the Crown Prince? This doesn't conform to their orthodox concept!"
What is orthodoxy?
Establish the legitimate if there is a legitimate!
Establish the eldest if there is no legitimate!
This is orthodoxy!
The legitimate prince is living well; why establish the illegitimate prince.
No matter how favored Imperial Consort Xiao is, no matter how favored the Xiao family is, it is not a reason for them to cross the Empress and the legitimate prince.
With Li Liangcheng as the representative of the defenders of orthodoxy, they absolutely wouldn't allow anyone to reverse the heaven and earth. Unless, they had the fighting power of the late Emperor; that was truly no way, and they could only admit defeat.
"This old man doesn't know these things. Anyway, everyone in the market is discussing how the Empress's son is a fool and how the son born to Imperial Consort Xiao is smart and virtuous."
"A little brat, where does the virtue come from." Chen Guanlou was very ashamed. This year was only the first year of Jian Shi; the Emperor had only ascended the throne for two years, so what's the rush!
With Emperor Jian Shi's body, even if he tossed around blindly, he would have at least three, five, seven, eight years, or ten-odd years. Starting to fight for the heir so early, are they sure they can laugh until the end?
Even if the women in the harem are blinded and can't think it through, do the court officials also can't think it through? Do they really believe Emperor Jian Shi won't live for ten years?
"Toss, toss! Toss it big, and the Heavenly Prison's business can also be better."
"You are too greedy! Wanting both name and profit!" Medical Official Mu was slightly ashamed, regretting it again. At the beginning, Chen Guanlou told him to buy a draw, but he didn't believe it. If heaven gave him another chance, he would definitely use his whole family's assets to buy a draw and make the bookie poor.
"I am a gentleman who loves money and takes it in the right way. Old Mu, don't envy me. Next time if there is a chance to spar with someone, you listen to me; I tell you to buy whatever, you buy whatever."
Medical Official Mu sighed. "I don't know if there will be a chance to see you spar with someone in this lifetime."
"There will be, there definitely will be."
Inspecting the prison cells, looking at the empty cells in the Jia-character big prison, he was very heartbroken. It was necessary to urge the Ministry of Justice to actively handle cases and catch people.
The Li family's case had been closed.
Minister Li was worthy of being a Minister; he decisively cut off his tail to survive, abandoning his nephew, son-in-law, student, fellow villager, etc., who were in prison...
So at the beginning of this year, the case was judged.
Li Ren was beheaded!
The rest were exiled.
The family members received the exile set meal together; go eat sand three thousand miles away.
This unlucky Li Ren, who calculated so much, used his brother-in-law Liu Jinxing's head as an offering to Heaven, but still couldn't save himself, and was actually beheaded. He ended up with the same fate as his brother-in-law.
To say there was no hand of Minister Li in this, Chen Guanlou didn't quite believe it.
Compared to the son-in-law, student, and nephew, Li Ren was truly incompetent. The case started from his side, and it was a proper fuse. Such a big handle, he actually didn't see it, and actually let people catch it.
Worthy of being a Minister-level big shot, truly ruthless enough; he gave up his own nephew as soon as he said so; this courage, ordinary people don't have.
Looking at the empty prison cells, he was very melancholy.
As a Prison Warden of the Heavenly Prison, he didn't allow the vacancy rate of the Jia-character big prison to exceed 30%. This was a shame in his professional history.
He stroked the prison gate railing and said painfully, "A general is incompetent, tiring the three armies to death! Without this official, the Heavenly Prison will go bankrupt sooner or later."
So he went to the Ministry of Justice to find Sun Daoning, to have an in-depth, soul-touching conversation about KPI.
Reflect!
Must reflect!
A dignified Minister of Justice, how can he not be enterprising and choose to lie flat.
Without cases, we must learn to manufacture cases. Small cases, we must strive to handle them as big cases. Dismissal from office, strive to go to the big prison. The Heavenly Prison set meal is a quota that every official must receive, everyone has a share! ===== CHAPTER 651 =====
