Chapter 90: .doubt

At the end of September, without warning, the conflict between the emperor and Zhang Shoufu broke out.
It started with a scholar who had just entered officialdom and was full of righteousness in the world. He actually impeached Zhang Xiaolian to dominate the government, embezzled and formed parties for personal gain. Zhang Xiaolian was alone for ten years, and never thought that someone would dare to impeach him. Zhang Xiaolian snorted and naturally pressed down the envelope. He didn't think it was a big deal.
It is unprecedented to dare to impeach Zhang Shoufu. This scholar was beaten twenty times with the crime of slandering Shoufu. His boss was afraid that he would be contaminated with him, and no one would protect him. The scholar lost office soon. The scholar had read only sage books for many years, and his physical fitness was not good. Now he was injured and lost his official position. In grief and anger, he even developed a fever and died within a few days.
After the death, things finally made a big deal. After the incident reached the Yushitai, more and more officials were impeached in the morning, and the emperor knew about it.
Now that half of the court is full of Zhang Xiaolian’s people, Zhang Dang naturally tried his best to refute, and then the impeachers were demoted within a few days, and those who lost office were lost. On the contrary, this has increasingly confirmed Zhang Xiaolian’s arbitrariness and party formation. The name. The scholars of this dynasty pay attention to integrity. If you get kicked or even go to jail because of impeachment, it is not a disaster, it is a good name. The court clamored for this in a mess, Zhang Xiaolian strongly suppressed it, while other civil servants continued to impeach them with enthusiasm.
There was a storm in the early days, and Zhang Xiaolian's power was still strong. After a period of trouble, the incident was suppressed. Instead, the impeachment of Zhang Xiaolian or the loss of office or suspension, in short, none of them ended well. After this incident, Zhang Xiaolian showed his power and might to the whole world. Although he is named Shoufu, he is actually the real power emperor in this world.
The emperor supported Zhang Shoufu in the early dynasty, and according to the teacher's wishes, sent off all officials who dared to say that Shoufu had embezzled, accepted bribes, and manipulated power. However, there was a faint rumbling in the inner palace. It was heard that the emperor and the beside him said that Zhang Shoufu was too powerful, and the emperor seemed to be unhappy.
The wind started at the end of Qingping. Although this incident was finally suppressed, everyone could see that the emperor and the first assistant had a battle, and the outbreak of a political crisis was only a matter of time.
The British government was also terrified by this incident. A junior from the Gao family wanted to enter the sixth department, but he was not yet qualified in terms of qualifications. According to the unspoken rules of the officialdom, the Gao family gave the first assistant some filial piety, and the younger generation of the Gao family also squeezed out their colleagues as they wished, and got the fat of the sixth department.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in officialdom. Who has never done this kind of thing in the Manchu Dynasty? But the British government slammed into the air, and when the supervisor arbitrarily impeached Zhang Shoufu, the Gao family was also found out, and they were labeled as Zhang Dang. Although it was only a false alarm in the end, Zhang Shoufu used an iron fist to settle all this, and the British government was naturally innocent, but this incident scared the Gao family enough.
They are used to the Shun life and have not experienced such a big battle for a long time. Because King Yan wanted to accompany the pregnant concubine, he frequently took leave of absence from the court in the past few days, and missed the impeachment storm perfectly. Without King Yan in front, the British government endured the entire political storm head-on.
The British father was so frightened that he trapped himself in the study for several days and kept calling staff to discuss matters. Although the British government was unscathed in the end, the British knew well that they were lucky this time. What about next time? Seeing that the emperor's administration is coming soon, even if Zhang Xiaolian is powerful, can he still consume more energy than the young emperor? The British government was labelled as a party in this turmoil. If they didn't do something, they might suffer some in the future.
When the emperor was fifteen this year, some people had already mentioned post-election. The emperor’s wedding was followed by pro-government. If nothing happens, this matter will be officially handled next year.
The eldest son of the British government has passed away unexpectedly, and the eldest son Gao Chen is only nine years old this year. The British government can wait, but will the current situation wait for Gao Chen to grow up?
The British man sat in the study all night, boiling almost half of his remaining hair white. Waiting for the next day, he summoned the Gao family to come in to discuss the adoption of Gao Ke to his concubine Wei.
In the face of the life and death of the entire family, even the blood must make concessions. Although Gao Chen is the grandson of the British father-in-law, the difference between Gao Chen and Gao Ke is like a great moat. There is too much difference between Gao Chen and Gao Ke in terms of age and intelligence. The second-generation pillar of the British government has died unexpectedly. The British government urgently needs an heir to support the entire family as soon as possible.
Gao Ran has been following the news of her natal family, and when she heard that her grandfather was planning to adopt her, she was so angry that she threw a set of tea sets.
"Is his grandfather stupid? Brother Chen is his real grandson. He has a huge family business. Why should he be an outsider?"
Mother Tao hurriedly stepped forward and covered Gao Ran's mouth: "Oh my girl, you can't say such things. For the sake of your sage, the grandpa is your grandfather, you can't say that the grandpa is not."
Gao Ran was still very angry. Once Gao Ke passed on to Wei, Gao Ke was the son of Wei and Gao Xi's younger brother, and he was the son of the British Prince. Moreover, he was older than Gao Chen, so wouldn't Gao Ke become the eldest brother? With the eldest son, how could the title of the government fall to Gao Chen?
What's more, Gao Ke will inevitably enshrine the incense of the Wei family. The Han family cautiously begs for the whole life. Do you still have to look at Gao Ke's face for the rest of his life?
Why is Gao Ke, a collateral child whose parents have both died, and why is he stealing things from their family?
Gao Ran couldn't sit still, and immediately set up a car and took people back to the British government.
The British government was also not peaceful, Gao Ran first went to see the British elder's wife. The British grandma looked bad, but the mood was still calm. After Gao Ran asked for peace, she hurriedly said: "Grandma, grandfather will take Gao Ke to his father?"
"Yes." After a few days, the old lady has accepted this fact. She is indeed partial to her grandson, but these days Gao Ke is calm day by day. Even if the old lady wears the aura of parents, she has to admit that Gao Ke is much better than her grandson. If their husband and wife were selfish and forced to become the sons of the world, after two years, maybe not even a few years, when the emperor gets married next year, the catastrophe of their government will come.
The heir is too small and embarrassing to be useful, coupled with the birth of Gao Chen's concubine, it is not clear that political opponents use their status to speak out, and the duke of the British duchy is reduced to a prince or even a noble. The situation is even worse. If someone in the DPRK then attacked the government, it was the Zhang Party, and the British government alone would be able to withstand it?
After hearing these things, the British elders and ladies also confessed their fate. Who caused her son to die early? If the British prince is still alive, why worry about this? Her son and children are blessed, but only two daughters and a son are under her knees, and Gao Xi passed away early. The British elders and the old ladies know that their son has been guilty of Wei's all these years. Maybe they will adopt a wise protégé for the two of them, so that their husband and wife will have the incense to continue, so that Gao Xi has a younger brother to rely on, and his son Jiuquan will also be happy.
The old lady accepted this fact, and she put more of her mind on investigating the incident that night of the British son. The young man next to his son said that Shi Ziye had been investigating Aunt Yun's affairs for the past few days. Perhaps, he galloped on a moonlit night and caused the horse to fall, which is also related to this matter?
Seeing the old lady's expression calm, Gao Ran was almost furious. She looked at the old lady like a fool: "Grandma, are you confused? Brother Chen is the father's biological son. Apart from his surname Gao, what does Gao Ke have to do with our family? Why don't you care about your own blood, but give the property to an outsider?"
"He adopted it to your aunt, he is your biological brother." The old lady reminded Gao Ran coldly, "He will become Wei's auntie, you and Gao Xi's younger brother. If you are wronged in your in-laws' family, you will pay back in the future. You have to count on Gao Ke to support you. An outsider in one mouthful, why is it so unpleasant to speak.
The old lady is an authentic ancient woman who grew up in a patriarchal society and has a high degree of acceptance of such things as adoption. The ancient clan pays attention to the family, not the blood relationship. As long as the son and the Wei are adopted, Gao Ke will worship the incense of the two people. It has nothing to do with his own family. Even when he meets his biological mother, he has to say it. "Auntie". Of course, the human heart grows in flesh, and there is always no way to really cut off the kindness, but Gao Ke is good for this. His parents have passed away for many years, and there are only widows and nephews in the family. Gao Ke's relationship with his original family is very weak. In the future, there is no need to worry about being close to his biological mother and not to the British government. In addition, his talents can make up for the fact that he is not the biological son of the son.
The descendant inheritance, isn't the picture of incense offerings? The old lady really didn't understand how Gao Ran had such a selfish and strange idea.
Gao Ran was angry and couldn't help moving out of the Yan Palace to suppress others: "Grandma, after all, Brother Chen is the younger brother of my compatriot. If the government is handed over to others in the future, what is the relationship between the Gao family and the Yan Palace? do?"
The eyes of the British elders and ladies were even stranger: "After the adoption, it was Gao Ke who walked with the Palace of the Yan Dynasty. The adoption of the law is orthodox. How could the king of Yan be the heir of a mere descent and not serious? And Princess Yan is right? Gao Ke also has the kindness of knowing encounters. This name is very useful, so we can go to the palace often to ask for the favor of Princess Yan."
Whose attitude is the most important in King Yan's Mansion now? Of course it is King Yan. It is not easy to please Yan Wang, but if you please Yan Wang, then it is far more useful than to please Yan Wang.
When it was over, Gao Ran found that she and the old lady couldn't make any sense. The old lady really felt that after adopting her, she would be her own son. Gao Ran, who grew up in a small modern family, couldn't understand. Both the old lady and Gao Ran felt that each other was unreasonable and stupid, and the conversation broke up unhappy.
Gao Ran came out of the old lady's courtyard and went directly to see the Han family. Han looked panic, saw Gao and then pulled her to cry: "Of course, Lord Guo will pass on Gao Ke to Wei. By then, Gao Ke will become Wei’s son, and of course he will stand towards Wei and to us. How can people who compete with him for the title have a good face?"
Gao Ran sighed, of course she thought of this too. Once they succeed, they will not only lose tens of thousands of wealth in the government, but also bear the risk of being left out by Gao Ke, which is simply worse. Han cried without manners, and tightly pinched Gao Ran's hand: "Ran, I heard people say that your grandmother has found out about Yun Niang these days. If she finds out the truth about Yun Niang, she still knows. I lied to her, knowing where the son is, but didn't save it, will she kill me?"
Gao Ran was silent. If Gao Chen became the son of the elder, then of course the father of the country's birth mother would not be sold, but if it was Gao Ke who attacked the jue... then the Han family would be an ordinary concubine. It's hard to say what will happen to the old lady's spoiling son.
Han kept crying in Gao Ran's ear, crying Gao Ran upset. Gao Ran cursed unhappily: "Don't cry, you didn't do these things at the beginning, what use is crying now?"
Han was stunned, tears hung on his cheeks, looking very ridiculous. Obviously she hadn't expected Gao Ran to say this at all.
Gao Ran took a deep breath, she had nowhere to go, she could only let it go. It seems that since Lin Weixi appeared in the capital, Gao Ran has been unlucky one after another, and everything went wrong. Now Lin Weixi was pregnant, threatening Gu Chengyao's position as the first son, and even Gao Chen was disturbed by Lin Weixi and missed the Duke.
Gao Ran suddenly felt a strange feeling. Why did Lin Weixi target her like this? Why did Lin Weixi get involved in the dispute over the successor of the British government? Is she related to the British government?
Gao Ran curled his fingers gently, if it matters, just give it a try.
