Chapter 94: Forcing the Palace?
"Everyone's life is not good recently!"
When Chen Guanlou patrolled the prison, the idle Yu Zhaoan found him to talk with feigned profundity.
Chen Guanlou didn't want to pay attention to him and continued to walk forward.
"Someone is going to be unlucky, to be precise, about to die."
The words are not surprising and will not die.
But this move is really useful, Chen Guanlou stopped and looked back at the other party. "Are you going to die?"
Heh!
Yu Zhaoan sneered. "Even if all the prisoners in this prison died, it wouldn't be my turn. Others might be hard to say."
Chen Guanlou pondered for a while, decided to be a listener, cooperated with the other party, and satisfied the other party's desire to pretend to be forced. "Tell me about it. If it makes sense, I will serve you."
Yu Zhaoan leaned against the prison door, looking lazy and boring. After being locked in the Heavenly Prison for a long time, no matter how many habits would be forced to change. The once clean and powerful Yu Zhaoan had now begun to adapt to the dirty life of the Heavenly Prison, learned to integrate into the prison, and accepted the gift of fate.
He took a deep breath. "You guards are making a lot of trouble for money. Guess what kind of person would be crazy enough to move the money of the Heavenly Prison?"
"Greedy person?" Chen Guanlou tried to guess.
Yu Zhaoan shook his head and smiled mysteriously. "Wrong. It's a person who wants to do big things. Greedy people usually don't take the initiative to change the surrounding environment. Because a familiar environment can facilitate their money-making. Only people who try to do big things and make big moves will make big changes."
Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows, learned. This statement seems to make some sense! Before, he had never thought about problems from this angle. It was a loss that he hadn't mixed in the officialdom, half-bucket of water, half-understanding. Once it involved deep-level problems, past experience was not so effective. Even in the information age of later generations, the disclosure of officialdom inside stories was very few, directly giving a result, as for the process, not internal personnel, not the parties involved, unknown.
Netizens could only use their own shallow knowledge to speculate whether the Emperor used a golden hoe to dig the ground, and whether eating soy milk was eating one bowl and pouring one bowl.
"You mean, there will be big moves above?"
"There will definitely be big moves. Why don't you go out and ask if the treatment of low-level yamen runners and clerks in other yamens has also dropped."
"If so, what will happen?"
"If so, it's not a single incident in one yamen, but a big series of all yamens in the court. Heh, it looks like someone can't hold it anymore and wants to force the palace!" Yu Zhaoan laughed out loud.
Chen Guanlou, however, was shocked and jumped.
"Force the palace? Don't talk nonsense." He lowered his voice, signaling the other party to manage his mouth, don't think that you can talk nonsense just because you are in the Heavenly Prison.
Yu Zhaoan sneered, his expression very disdainful. "Do you think I'm talking nonsense? Have you seen the court, have you seen the Emperor? How big is the biggest official you have seen in your life, is there a Seventh Rank? Have you dealt with those big figures in the court? You are just a small prison guard, what qualifications do you have to question my judgment. I tell you, this is a big move that has been planned for a long time, you should be careful."
Chen Guanlou suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and asked with a straight face, "Even if what you said is true, what should I be careful about?"
Yu Zhaoan smiled and said, "Soon, this prison will be full of people, and many officials above the Third Rank of the court will be locked in. You say, shouldn't you be careful. It is even possible that there will be royal relatives locked in. Those people, no matter how you serve them, won't satisfy them, and they won't be harder to pinch you to death than pinching an ant."
Chen Guanlou suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and asked, "Are you so sure that someone will force the palace."
"I know the urine nature of that group of people too well, because I was once one of them. How long has it been since the above allocated funds and issued rice and grain? Almost a year, right."
Yu Zhaoan looked at Chen Guanlou triumphantly.
He walked back and forth in the prison cell with his hands behind his back, looking like pointing at the country and waving his hands. He had the demeanor of a court official. Worthy of being the former Right Censor, the style was sufficient.
Only heard him continue to say: "The life and death of low-level officials are not cared about by anyone. However, when needed, it doesn't hinder them from using the needs of low-level officials and clerks to add a little weight.
The Emperor is addicted to Taoism and longevity, spending money like water, regardless of the suffering of the people, regardless of natural disasters, and the rebels in Jinzhou are making more and more trouble, which cannot shake the Emperor's determination to pursue longevity. Anxious! Everyone is very anxious!
How can the officials of the court allow power to fall into the hands of that group of swindling Taoists. If it were you, you couldn't agree either. If I were still in the court, I would have to beat a few stinking Taoists to death on the spot. Look, I have been locked in the Heavenly Prison for almost a year, and I can't calm my anger. How can the officials in the court tolerate a few villains riding on their heads and sprinkling salt.
There must be a remonstrance, there must be a forced palace. The Crown Prince is an excellent target for wooing. It's a pity that the Crown Prince is a bit anxious. I really hope that the Crown Prince will be smarter this time, don't be wooed by this group of wild ambition conspirators, just be a bystander and watch the show."
"I didn't expect you to support the Crown Prince. I heard people say that you often impeached the Crown Prince before, saying that he didn't cultivate private morality and other trivial matters of life."
Chen Guanlou was very surprised. This person, there is no end to the beginning, all are interests.
Yu Zhaoan laughed, his expression a bit proud, a bit aftertaste.
He raised his head and said, "What do you know, that's called strategy. The Emperor is old, the Crown Prince is strong, this is extremely dangerous. If you want to protect the Crown Prince, you have to impeach the Crown Prince. You must never let the Crown Prince become a perfect person. There are no saints in this world.
Impeaching trivial matters of life, for the Crown Prince, will not touch the fundamental interests at all, and can also give the Emperor an impression that the Crown Prince does not form a party. True smart people know the truth of wanting to raise and suppress. True is false, false is true. In officialdom, if you sincerely support someone, don't support it openly, you have to come in the dark."
"Why are you telling me this? Such a private matter, you tell me, won't it harm me." Chen Guanlou looked at the other party suspiciously.
Yu Zhaoan's words were a bit more today, a bit abnormal.
If there is something abnormal, there must be a demon.
He didn't believe that Yu Zhaoan suddenly changed, becoming a person with a strong desire to talk and willing to share inner secrets. He speculated about the other party with the greatest malice; this child has no conscience.
"Stupid! I am teaching you how to do things. In the future, when you mix in officialdom, these will be useful."
"I don't mix in officialdom." Chen Guanlou denied it sonorously. He was crazy to mix in officialdom. The Heavenly Prison is so good, less things, more money, and no need to worry about the secrets on his body being seen.
Mixing in officialdom, being a colleague with that group of top human elites, the gods among the scholars, even if he has the knowledge of later generations, playing conspiracy and tricks will sooner or later be played to death by people. 【9
"We listen to Chen Tou!"
"Chen Tou's words are reasonable."
"Reading books and not reading books are just different. Chen Tou has read books; he is indeed clear about the thoughts of that group of officials."
"Chen Tou is just as black-hearted as that group of officials."
"Pah, pah, pah, how can you say that about Chen Tou? Chen Tou's behavior is called insight into worldly affairs. If you can't speak properly, get lost."
The prison guards flattered him.
Chen Guanlou, however, was caught between laughter and tears.
Constable Wu felt relieved, "Still, Chen Tou has a way. I talked until my mouth was dry, but I couldn't persuade this group of prison guards. As soon as you opened your mouth, you made them change their minds."
"Alas, I'm old, I'm old, I'm no longer useful!" Constable Wang said sourly, "Compared to you young people, us old guys are only fit to drink thin porridge."
"Constable Wang, don't make fun of me." Chen Guanlou pointed out to him, "It's all for the Heavenly Prison, for the A-grade prison. You wouldn't want the situation to turn ugly and be difficult to clean up, would you?"
