The queen is charming, but powerful ministers lure her to seize power and usurp the throne

Chapter 116 Good idea & Bad idea

"You didn't go to the Prime Minister's Mansion that day?" Uncle Lin asked.

"The first person I went to was the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I brought the authentic work of Master Xizhi, but Prime Minister Gu didn't see me. On the contrary, his uncle Gu Erye was very easy to get along with. He collected the things and agreed to hand them over on his behalf," Lin Ming said.

After hearing this, Uncle Lin sneered, "It was said to be handed over, but we have no way of knowing whose hands the things fell into in the end. He is not someone to be dealt with. He is as virtuous as your second uncle and is like a wolf." Staring at things that don’t belong to you.”

"If the old man hadn't been ill this time and your uncles were ready to take action, there would be nothing wrong with that watchdog Wang Shengcai."

While talking, he had already arrived in front of the study, and Lin Ming asked him to be careful of the steps.

"Now that Prime Minister Gu has gone, everyone around the imperial city has followed him. It's a small thing to give away gifts for free. My son is afraid that this will happen every day, so he really made the Northwest Tower do it."

Uncle Lin sat and panted, feeling that things were a little more difficult.

When the man surnamed Wang said that he wanted to open the Northwest Tower opposite, he didn't take it to heart at all. It was really not a big deal to deal with such a person.

I never thought that someone like him could hook up with Prime Minister Gu.

Uncle Lin thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Prime Minister Gu has the Holy One above him."

Lin Ming frowned, "But didn't my grandfather set a rule that he was not allowed to have direct contact with the royal family, let alone the descendants of the Lin family from entering the court."

"He can't say anything now. How can he care about this?"

Uncle Lin didn't care and had already started to write a letter.

"No matter how powerful Prime Minister Gu is, he is just a minister. Can he really surpass the Holy Spirit?"

Lin Ming knew Uncle Lin's temperament. He hated others persuading him to change his mind. If he tried to persuade him again, he would only make him angry.

But there is always some worry in his heart. His grandfather is the Lin family's magic needle, and he has not yet died. His father is like this. If his grandfather really leaves, how long can the Lin family continue to be glorious?

"Master Gao, why are you here? The Holy Master has been waiting for you inside for a long time."

Little Leaf bowed her waist slightly and came forward.

Gao Hong has a delicate face, and under the blessing of the prosperous official uniform, he has a rather solemn look when he is expressionless.

In front of these noble family members, he looked at them coldly, which made people feel frightened.

Fortunately, when it comes to servants like them, he is extremely gentle and a gentle gentleman.

Gao Hong said with a hint of apology, "I went out immediately. The carriage broke down on the way, so I was delayed for a long time. Thank you, father-in-law, for waiting."

Xiao Zizi led him forward quickly, "Master Gao, you're too polite. I'm a slave. I don't know where to stand. It's hard for the Lord to explain, but don't be afraid. I see that the Lord is in a good mood today, maybe." I'll blame you."

Seeing that Gao Hong was indeed listening to her words attentively, Little Leaf just said a few more words.

"Master Gao is now a popular figure in front of the Holy Emperor. He should change his carriage to a better one and not let those people laugh at him."

Those people refer to the powerful people Gao Hong offended.

"I thought so too, but I was short of money. I used half of the reward given by the Holy Father to buy a house, and the other half was sent back to treat the injuries of the villagers."

Gao Hong said a little embarrassed.

Little Leaf sighed, "It was all Feng Ba's fault. He died happily, but he harmed you, sir."

Although all the people in Gaojiacun were released and kept in cells for two months, they suffered a lot.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank my father-in-law. If you hadn't helped me hand over the petition, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"It's just a casual job. I'm just trying to accumulate some merit for myself. I hope to be a healthy person in my next life."

Just as he was talking, he arrived at the imperial study room.

In the past, Xiao Yezi would stand guard at the door and let him go in by himself, but this time he personally led the person to the emperor. "Your Majesty, Master Gao is here." Xiao Yezi said softly.

Taking advantage of the gap between Gao Hong's salutes, he explained to the emperor, "Master Gao broke down the carriage halfway, so he came too late."

Seeing that the emperor was not displeased, he added, "I have been serving in the palace since I was a child. I have never heard of an adult like Lord Gao."

The emperor did not express his position, but only waved his hand. Little Ye Zi bent down and quietly exited, but he knew in his heart that the emperor had listened.

After leaving the imperial study, Eunuch Xu pulled him aside and said, "You are usually the most clever and do not touch anyone. Why are you thinking of speaking for him today?"

Xiao Yezi said with a smile, "Master also knows that I am not a reckless person. There must be a reason for this."

"Those adults all look down on us slaves, but he is the only one who is willing to joke with us, with a calm expression and no dislike at all. Furthermore, he is a person who cares about kindness."

"It's just a sentence or two. No one can remember it. If he falls, we won't be implicated. If he really gets up like Prime Minister Gu, if anything happens in the future, we will have a place to take care of him."

Eunuch Xu heard this and laughed at him, "You're the only one who's smart. You haven't even finished growing yet and you're already thinking about your future plans."

"I don't care. It's just that you are old, master."

Speaking of this, Eunuch Xu sighed quietly.

Yes, I am too old to bear the trouble.

The kick I received last time hurts from time to time.

It stands to reason that these servants who follow the emperor are more beautiful than some frustrated concubines of adults.

He was devoted to his master, the emperor, and took care of them everywhere, but in the eyes of the emperor, they were not even half human.

In a few years, he will grow old and will no longer be able to serve. I don’t know what will happen to him.

The cold wind was blowing, and Eunuch Xu patted Xiao Yezi on the shoulder, "Good boy."

Gao Hong took the letter from the emperor and read it quickly.

"Jianzhang, you are the first customer of the Northwest Building. How do you think it compares to the Southeast Building?"

Jian Zhang was Gao Hong's cousin. After the emperor got acquainted with him, he always called him this, as if calling him a friend rather than a minister.

This special treatment is unique to Gao Hong in the entire court.

Gao Hong sat under the emperor, folded the letter and stuffed it back.

"The Southeast Building is a cave for selling gold. It is not an exaggeration to make a thousand gold a day. I went to the Northwest Building. Firstly, it is more favorable. Secondly, I heard the allusion and thought that the shopkeeper Wang also came out of the corner. It was not easy. If you recommend yourself to others, go and join in the fun."

As he spoke, he carefully cleared up all the connections between the emperor and the Lin family.

The forces in the capital have been intertwined for hundreds of years, and it was not something he, a poor scholar who had just arrived, could figure out in one or two glances.

Therefore, he does not say that the Southeast Building is bad, nor does he say that the Northwest Building is good.Just explain why you want to go to the northwest building.

The emperor didn't think there was any problem with Gao Hong going to the Northwest Tower. In his opinion, Gao Hong was completely opposed to the family.

He couldn't afford the Southeast Building, which was often visited by aristocratic families, so it was not surprising that he would go to the Northwest Building, the rival of the Southeast Building.

But the emperor's thoughts fell on what he said, "Every day makes a thousand gold."

I also thought that at the beginning, the Lin family could support the three armies with their own strength, even though Zhu Shilang often said that the Lin family's wealth was all used up by the royal family.

But in the end it was his one-sided statement, who knew he was not lying to himself.
