Chapter 1849 Strict Self-Discipline
It would be a thankless task for the Jinyiwei to supervise all officials. If Chen Changli had a choice, he would never let his children join the Jinyiwei.
"Shufang, everyone has their own selfish desires. These newly appointed officials may seem good, but they will be corrupted after being in the officialdom for a long time. The Jinyiwei are their enemies. Instead of going along with them at the beginning, it is better to make your attitude clear."
The couple just wanted to appoint people based on personal connections, and if they didn't accept it, they had to hold it in, or else they would have to go to the Heavenly Prison.
Wan Shufang understood what he meant and suddenly felt that she was making a fuss out of nothing. "That's exactly what it should be."
Chen Ping came over at this time, looking very energetic, "Dad and Mom, we are ready."
Chen Tao and Chen Hai felt helpless, especially Chen Hai. He claimed that he was a scholar and went to take the imperial examination, thinking that he could pass and change his family's status. However, he didn't expect that he couldn't even pass the first level.
He felt ashamed and wanted to stay at home and not go anywhere, but Chen Changli and his wife were not happy about that and stuffed him into the Jinyiwei to keep him busy.
"Brother, parents are not ready yet, why are you in such a hurry?" Chen Hai was unable to let go of the entanglement in his heart, and blurted out the words.
After hearing what he said, Chen Ping couldn't suppress the curling of his lips. He had long been fed up with Chen Hai's attitude of thinking that he was a scholar and that he was not of the same kind as him.
Now that the imperial examination had brought him back to his original form, he felt as refreshed as if he had drunk iced sour plum soup in the middle of summer. He couldn't help but say, "Third brother, I'm not the one who's anxious, it's you! If you hadn't insisted on taking the imperial examination, how could your parents have seen that you had no talent at all and worked so hard to set up a Jinyiwei to arrange for you."
He spoke very quickly, not giving Chen Hai a chance to speak. "In the final analysis, the reason why the second brother and I joined the Jinyiwei is to help you cover up your shame. You should be grateful to us."
Chen Hai listened to Chen Ping's mocking words and felt so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole to hide in. However, when he saw Chen Ping's mocking face, he was so angry that he rushed up to him and fought with him, "You are looking for death."
"Big brother, third brother, stop fighting." Chen Tao didn't expect that they would start fighting as they talked, so he hurried to stop them, but ended up getting slapped in the face several times.
Chen Changli looked at the two people fighting and felt the veins on his forehead throbbing. He quickly stepped forward to separate the two people and asked, "How can you be so disrespectful?"
"Dad, you are biased." Seeing Chen Changli protecting Chen Hai behind him, Chen Ping was about to explode.
Chen Hai pouted at him and said angrily, "If Dad is partial, he's partial to you, Chen Ping, don't be so ungrateful after getting such an advantage."
"Who is taking advantage of you and being ungrateful? Third brother, ask yourself, before your father came back, who raised you and how did you marry your wife?" Chen Ping became angrier and angrier as he spoke. He was about to push Chen Tao away and punch Chen Hai.
"I thought that you had sorted out any grudges over the years, but I didn't expect that you had kept them all in your hearts and never exploded." Looking at the endless quarreling scene in front of her, Wan Shufang had a splitting headache. She couldn't help but slap each of them and asked them to stand aside.
"Calm down now and sort out your thoughts. If you really feel unconvinced, then explain the matter clearly in front of us. Otherwise, before the Jinyiwei officially appears in front of everyone, your joke will spread all over the world."
Wan Shufang's voice was unusually cold, and her eyes were like knives, cutting people without giving them a chance to breathe.
Chen Ping wanted to refute, but when he met her cold eyes, he felt like a mouse caught by a cat, and his breathing slowed down unconsciously.
Chen Hai said with red eyes: "Brother has a misunderstanding of me, that's why he always dislikes me."
"Is this really a misunderstanding?" Wan Shufang asked harshly.
Chen Hai's heart skipped a beat, his eyes fell on her face, and seeing that she was as cold as ice, he said angrily: "I admit that I am a little overconfident, but the status of a civil servant is higher than that of a military officer, and the Duke's Mansion has been handed over to the fifth brother. When you pass away, we will have to separate. For the sake of future generations, what's wrong with me wanting to be a civil servant?"
"It's okay to have high aspirations but poor skills, but you can't see your own abilities clearly and you are always aiming too high." Wan Shufang felt uncomfortable when she heard this, but her voice was cold.
"You don't like me either?" Chen Hai's pupils widened in disbelief, and some tears seemed to well up in his eyes.
"If I didn't like you, why would I spend so much money to hire a teacher for you?" Wan Shufang listened to his aggrieved voice and suddenly felt that the situation was difficult to handle.
He is already old, why is he still like a giant baby and needs his mother's guidance? !
Seeing that Wan Shufang looked embarrassed, Chen Changli quickly stepped forward and stood in front of her. He glanced at the dissatisfied Chen Ping and Chen Hai, and spoke earnestly.
"You two should stop arguing about who is right and who is wrong. Without a standard, even if we are your parents, we cannot judge right and wrong fairly and make you convinced."
"In short, you only need to remember one thing, that is, you are brothers from the same mother. No matter what happens, you are each other's only siblings in this world. I hope you can see this clearly and make plans before you hurt the feelings of your family."
After Chen Changli finished speaking, he took them out for training without waiting for them to figure it out.
After all, they have nothing to do but to dwell on the past. As long as they are extremely tired every day, he doesn't believe that they will end up like this.
Following this plan, Chen Changli showed no mercy. After some new officials who thought he was nepotism learned about this, they all gasped, "He is cruel to outsiders and even crueler to his own children. Is this the Duke of Rong? No wonder His Majesty trusts him so much."
Han Yi listened to their sighs and smiled, "Strict with ourselves and lenient with others. Chen Changli and we are like this, so we were able to conquer the world in a few years."
"It's a pity that many people don't understand this. They are so focused on demanding strictness from others that after they lose, they still say that your Majesty was lucky to have won the world."
"If luck could really do this, why did Your Majesty suffer so much before?"
Many officials listened to this and thought about it carefully, and found that it was true. Some of their impetuous spirit was suppressed, and they began to learn from Chen Changli to become inward-looking.
The emperor discovered the trend of involution, thought for a moment with his chin in his hand, and thought it was a good idea. He specially intensified the efforts and got everyone to participate together. Soon, the Jinyiwei trained a team that could patrol the world.
The emperor ordered Chen Changli to lead this team to patrol the country, monitor officials for him, and implement a new round of policies. However, he secretly asked Chen Changli to take this opportunity to investigate the situation of the people and find out the degree of acceptance of the new system in their hearts.
"The system needs to be implemented and felt by the people, and then it can be revitalized from the bottom up. So this is very important. I'm afraid you will suffer during this period of time."
