Chapter 699: Taking off the human smell on the body

~8 min read 1,517 words

"The Xie family is big and powerful, and you, Minister, are even more like a clear breeze and bright moon. I always thought you would never be stained with the smell of copper."

Chen Guanlou complained.

On one hand, he labeled himself as a scholar with noble character who would not flow with the secular world, and on the other hand, he asked people for silver. The two faces were too split.

Xie Changling had something to say about this.

He gave a cold snort, very dissatisfied. "The official rules, how can they be abolished because of this official? Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, if you ask someone to do something, you must have the attitude of asking someone. Without this official's opening, you can try whether you can fish Zhao Mingqiao out. If he can't get out, the Youth Society will sooner or later become someone else's tool. We can wait and see."

Chen Guanlou felt his teeth ache. "Yes, yes, yes, Minister is right. The official rules must never be abolished because of people."

Consequently, he took out 80% sincerity, comparing four fingers with full sincerity. "What does Minister think?"

Xie Changling sneered coldly and didn't make a sound.

This attitude was clearly dissatisfied.

Chen Guanlou bared his teeth and simply added a finger, totaling five fingers; he should be satisfied now.

Xie Changling played with the teacup lid and said with a smile that wasn't a smile: "Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, if you are sincere in considering Zhao Mingqiao, give enough sincerity at once. This official can guarantee that as long as the Youth Society is honest and doesn't cause trouble, no one will look for their trouble. Even, if you make this official satisfied, you can save the part at Sun Daoning's place. Once the Emperor opens his golden mouth, I think the Ministry of Justice won't dare to disobey in public."

Still thinking the money is too little!

Dog official!

The appetite is really big enough.

The Xie family is big and powerful; is that how it came to be?

Not a single word mentioned money, yet every word was money.

Chen Guanlou gritted his teeth and compared an "eight" sign; this should be satisfactory.

Xie Changling nodded slightly. "Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is worthy of being a professional; he is indeed on the road. Go back and wait for news."

"Can it be as soon as possible?" Chen Guanlou asked. "The situation is urgent. I think Minister also doesn't want the Youth Society to fall into the hands of people with ulterior motives."

"The faster it is, the more it depends on the timing. The Emperor's place is not where you can talk about things at any time. Go back and wait for news; don't talk nonsense."

Tsk tsk!

Chen Guanlou was very disgusted; the official power was really big enough. Sooner or later, he would go to the second palace.

"Fine! I will go back and wait for Minister's good news. If you have anything to do tomorrow, just send someone to say it, and I will give you a discount."

Xie Changling laughed at the anger. "What can this official have to do?"

"Floating and sinking in the official sea, who can predict the future? Prepare more, and there will definitely be no mistake."

Chen Guanlou hugged his fist and said goodbye!

He still took a trip to Sun Daoning's side, sent half a catty of top-grade tea to Old Sun, accompanied him to drink tea, and chatted about gossip in the court. Only he didn't give money, and didn't mention the matter of Zhao Mingqiao getting out of prison.

Save where you can!

It's not easy for Zhao Mingqiao to save some silver.

Mainly, Xie Changling blew the cowhide so cow-like, he just wanted to see if the other party could do it. If he really invited Emperor Taixing to open his golden mouth, eh, this money would really be saved.

Zhao Mingqiao was anxious to get out and couldn't help but ask about the situation.

Chen Guanlou urged him to wait with peace of mind every time, not to be impatient.

"It's normal for young people to be impatient. But as the president of the Youth Society, it shouldn't be like this. As a leader, the most important thing is one word: steady! Steady like an old dog, steady like Mount Tai. Even if the sky falls, you must be calm. Only then can you be the backbone, the Dinghai God Needle. Look at your impatient appearance; if the people below see it, they will think the sky has fallen, and people's hearts will be chaotic."

"I understand what you mean. It's just that right now, it's just the two of us, so I naturally don't need to cover it up." Zhao Mingqiao was grateful from the bottom of his heart that Chen Guanlou helped find connections and helped him get out. He was really anxious, and he didn't want to cover it up right now, nor was there any need to cover it up.

"At any time, you must learn to be steady, learn to cover up." Chen Guanlou warned repeatedly, "How do you know I haven't been bought, how do you know I am on the same side as you. Don't make subjective judgments; everything follows the procedure."

"If a person has no subjective judgment..."

"My meaning is, don't make subjective judgments about people, especially in the position you are in. At any time, you must maintain three points of vigilance; this can save your life."

People, at any time, cannot throw away their whole heart, because human hearts change, and both men and women are like this.

Zhao Mingqiao opened his mouth and was speechless.

He had only learned to treat people with sincerity and make friends with sincerity. He had never learned to maintain three points of vigilance at any time and not throw away his whole heart. For a while, it was a bit difficult to accept.

Although he had been mixing in the officialdom for a few years, he still retained a bit of innocence of a scholar in the depths of his heart. For the people around him, he absolutely believed in them and had never doubted them.

Chen Guanlou asked him to maintain vigilance at any time; the implication was, can't even the people around him be fully trusted?

Chen Guanlou looked at his appearance and knew that the knot in his heart was there, and his thinking hadn't been turned around.

"You think about it slowly."

"I think what you said is not completely right! I and the members of the Youth Society are partners with the same aspirations, especially the few people around me; they pay wholeheartedly for the Youth Society. If I maintain vigilance against them, am I still a human?"

Chen Guanlou laughed. "If you want to be a human, don't be a leader. Let me tell you this: from the day you became the president of the Youth Society and the leader of the Youth Society, you are not a human, but a flame, a spirit, a banner, a direction, a platform, but you are not a human. How can you use the standards of a human to demand yourself? The path you walk is destined to take off the human smell.

Zhao Mingqiao was shocked and deeply shocked.

This was the first time in his life he heard this kind of crooked theory, which completely overturned his cognition.

But thinking carefully, this crooked theory seemed to have logic and could justify itself.

However, the knowledge he came into contact with, the books he read, no book had ever said to detach from the human smell and be a person without human smell.

Chen Guanlou didn't care how shocked he was inside, didn't care about his life or death, pointed to the direction of the palace and continued: "You guess, is the person sitting on the dragon chair still a human? From the day he sat on the dragon chair, he detached from the human smell. So he will make many decisions that are difficult for ordinary people to understand, such as killing meritorious officials, killing military generals, favoring sycophants, boiling with public resentment—anyway, things that are against common sense.

You don't understand, because you are a human, a human with normal thinking. If you want to guess the Emperor's mind, you can't treat him as a human.

Similarly, you, Zhao Mingqiao, will eventually detach from the human smell one day. Even if you don't want to, the environment and the situation will force you to walk that path.

Unless, the undertaking is not half-finished and the middle path collapses, that is another story. A leader with too much human smell usually doesn't have a good ending and can't do it for long. If you want the Youth Society to grow and grow to the point where it can influence the court and the situation of the world, you must give up the human smell and be a non-human without feelings." ===== CHAPTER 700 =====
