Chapter Ninety-Five: Hooked
Of course, Gao Yan is not really as incompetent and unbearable as Feng Linwan said.
No matter what his character is, he doesn't care whether he, as an official, can really bring the slightest benefit to the country.
As a corrupt official, a former courtier, he also has his way of survival.
From the central to the local, he is the umbrella of many corrupt officials and corrupt officials on the same path as him.
It is also where the hope of those people's promotion and evaluation lies, and what is woven is a big net called interests.
However, from another point of view, those corrupt officials who are superficially protected by him are not his protective umbrella?
It's just that Feng Linwan is obviously using unfair comparison methods.
created an atmosphere step by step, and praised the first four ministers who were fair on the surface, but in fact they secretly praised it, but they put this Gao Zheng at the end, and belittled it as worthless, as if there was a gap with the first four that could not be ignored.
At a certain moment, it even made Gao Wei feel as if he had some kind of illusion that he really couldn't do it.
Of course, if Gao Yan was given a little time, he could fully understand what kind of routine Feng Lin Wan used.
But now... Feng Linwan suddenly jumped up from the chair, and with the strength under his feet, the person had already fallen directly opposite Gao Qi.
The long sword in his hand was raised high, and the sword that shimmered with cold light fell directly on Gao Yan's neck.
"Your Majesty, are you going to kill the minister? The five ministers who take care of their lives, the other four have already regarded you as nothing, and only the ministers have come to see you. You have done everything possible to lure your ministers here, is it just to cut off the minister's head with a sword?" Gao Wei straightened his back and spoke loudly, as if he was iron-clad.
Feng Linwan could even see the spit stars that splashed up because he was too excited when he spoke.
A wisp of whiskers flew down Gao Yan's neck, and the sharp tip of the sword slashed lightly no more than an inch from his neck.
"Your Majesty, you intend to create a new power department to use as a tool for you to regain power. But you have nothing now, and even in this palace, there are not many palace maids and eunuchs who really obey your command. You really have no one to use, no money to make. ”
"But the minister is different, you can hand over this new power department to the minister. The ministers should complete the formation of it as soon as possible and repay the emperor's grace. The shadow of Gao Zheng in the sunlight seemed to be a little tall, and the sunlight shining in from outside the door became his background.
Feng Linwan's hair was messed up into weeds, covering all his face, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.
The atmosphere was a bit dreary.
Gao Yan's face gradually revealed a hint of victory.
Although he is also a minister, Gao Yi has never been able to grasp the real power. Feng Linwan's seemingly 'child's play' made him see hope.
A violent organization independent of the court, what a perfect 'shell'.
As long as he has the emperor's righteous permission, he can turn the wealth and connections he has accumulated over the years into real strength, which can be used to compete with several other ministers, and even gain the upper hand.
Don't underestimate the role of the 'nominal'.
Without this name, the official position he now holds is limited to him, giving him power, but also preventing him from gaining greater power. He has a vested interest in the rules, so if he doesn't have absolute strength, he can't try to break the rules.
Cao Cao has achieved the general trend in the past, and he still wants to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
It is in the name of the Son of Heaven, and it is a righteous name.
"Hahaha... Hahaha!" Feng Linwan laughed as if he was crazy.
Suddenly, he threw away the sword in his hand, and from the box on the side, he turned out a large number of holy decrees and tokens.
"Take it, take it!" "Throw it all away" as if throwing garbage, throwing these things at Gao Ji.
Gao Yi's eyes showed excitement, picked up a scroll of holy decrees and a token, hurriedly opened it, and went excitedly.
As when he came, when he left, he was so rude, formless, and arrogant. did not put Feng Linwan in his eyes at all.
"You just gave it to him? Didn't you make him a wedding dress? This is a real villain, and he will never keep his promise to help you stabilize the imperial power. Even... He will limit you even more. Kru said as he stared at Feng Linwan with his body.
In the eyes of others, Feng Linwan was still crazy, and continued to say to himself: "Hahaha... How can I make a wedding dress? How can I be? Rights are poisonous. Supervise hundreds of officials, open a prison, cut first and then play, the imperial power is licensed... With such a big power, it should make the officials jealous, the ministers worried, and how many people can't sleep!"
From the moment he entered the main hall, he was no longer the high-ranking man he once was, who could mix with officials like a fish in water! But the same... He will also have more enemies to stir up this detached officialdom. ”
Feng Linwan's laughter spread far away, and many people who listened to the corner hurriedly used various methods to communicate outside the palace.
Feng Linwan's meeting with Gao Yan today can't hide from anyone who cares at all.
Soon the government and the opposition will be in an uproar.
······
Gao Zhen received the holy decree and token, and his heart was excited.
After leaving the palace, he gradually calmed down.
On the carriage, a bewitching woman with snow-white body and fox ears on her head threw herself into Gao Yan's arms and stroked Gao Yan's chest with her tender fingers.
"Xiangye, that mad emperor, but should go?" the woman asked softly, her eyes flashing with a strange green glow.
Gao Zhen played with the fluffy tail behind the woman, and a complicated expression appeared on his face.
"The old man has been playing yin all his life, but today he was tricked by that madman and fell for his tricks. He is trying to use the old man as a gunman, so that the old man can disrupt the court like a pool of stagnant water, so that he can enter and seize power. Thinking of this, Gao Wei couldn't help but exert force in his hands.
The fox girl let out a coquettish scream, and arched her head into Gao Zhen's arms again.
"Then Xiangye doesn't plan to continue?"
Gao Wei sighed, but shook his head again: "This little emperor... Whether he's really crazy or pretending to be crazy, you can't underestimate him. The bait he gave, since the old man accepted it, he had to swallow it in his stomach. ”
"The current situation is indeed superficially stable. But Cheng Penghai's old puppet... It's almost over. People who don't know think that he can hold on for a long time, but in fact... Hehe! The backlash of cursing and killing the first emperor back then was only afraid that he would be unable to sleep day and night, and it was already difficult to support. ”
"His earth-shattering cultivation has now become the poison that torments him. As long as he wastes his skills and wants to survive, there will be countless assassins who will kill him one after another. ”
"As soon as he dies, the situation between the DPRK and China will inevitably change greatly. Whether it is Huo Quyi or Zhao Kaicheng... It's possible to take advantage of the opportunity. ”
"In the name of a Qing monarch, he can not only kill the little emperor, but also kill two birds with one stone in addition to the old man and that Wang En!"
"At this time, I have to strengthen my power and become a real chess player. Wait until the old guy dies, and then join forces with Wang En to divide the country equally... Maybe it can fill the vacancy left by the old guy's death. ”
The carriage made its way through the streets and alleys, gradually disappearing into the crowd.
In this world, everyone has their own abacus, and no one is a fool.
