At the end of September, without warning, the conflict between the emperor and Zhang Shoufu broke out.
It all started with a scholar who had just entered officialdom and was full of righteousness in the world. He actually impeached Zhang Xiaolian for monopolizing the state, corruption and selfishness. Zhang Xiaolian was the only one who dominated for ten years, and he never thought that anyone would dare to impeach him. Zhang Xiaolian sneered, naturally suppressing the envelope, he didn't think it was a big deal.
It is unprecedented to dare to impeach Zhang Shoufu. This scholar was beaten 20 times for slandering Shoufu. His boss was afraid of contaminating him, so no one would protect him, and the scholar lost his post soon after. The scholar has read only the books of sages and sages for many years, and his physical fitness is not good. Now he is injured and lost his official position. Under the grief and anger, he has a high fever and died within a few days.
After a life was lost, things finally got bigger. After the incident reached the censor's desk, more and more officials were impeached in the early court, and the emperor only knew about it.
Now half of the court is from Zhang Xiaolian, Zhang Dang naturally strongly refuted it, and then the impeached person will be demoted within a few days, and the official will lose his post. The name. The scholars of this dynasty paid attention to integrity. If they were beaten or even imprisoned because of impeachment, it would not be a disaster, but a good name. There was a mess in the court over this, Zhang Xiaolian strongly suppressed it, while other civil servants were eager to impeach.
In the early days of blood and blood, Zhang Xiaolian's power was still strong. After a period of trouble, the matter was finally suppressed. Instead, the people who impeached Zhang Xiaolian were either thrown out of office, or suspended. In short, none of them ended well. After this incident, Zhang Xiaolian showed his power and might to the whole world. Although he was named Shoufu, he was actually the real emperor of the world.
The emperor supported Zhang Shoufu in the early court, and according to the teacher's intention, all officials who dared to say that Shoufu was corrupt, took bribes, and manipulated power were released. However, there was a faint rumor in the inner palace. I heard that the emperor himself and the eunuch beside him said that Zhang Shoufu was too powerless, and the emperor seemed to be displeased.
The wind started at the end of Qingping. Although this incident was finally suppressed, everyone could see that the emperor and the first assistant would eventually have a battle, and the outbreak of a political crisis was only a matter of time.
The British government was also taken aback by this incident. A junior of 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 sent some filial piety to the first assistant, and the younger generation of the Gao family also squeezed out their colleagues as they wished, and got the fat shortage of the six divisions.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the officialdom. Who has never done such a thing in the Manchu court? However, the British government hit the wind. When Yan Guan wanted to impeach Zhang Shoufu, the Gao family was also found out and was beaten by everyone as Zhang Dang. Although it was only a false alarm in the end, Zhang Shoufu settled all this with an iron fist, and the British government was naturally innocent, but this incident scared the Gao family enough.
They are used to living a smooth life and have not experienced such a big battle for a long time. Because King Yan wanted to accompany the pregnant princess, he frequently took leave of absence from the DPRK and China in the past few days, and missed the impeachment storm perfectly. Without King Yan standing in front of him, the British government suffered the impact of the entire political turmoil.
The British public was so frightened that he trapped himself in his study for several days, constantly recruiting his staff to discuss matters. Although the British government was unscathed in the end, the British public knew that they were lucky this time, but what about the next time? Seeing that the emperor's personal administration is imminent, even if Zhang Xiaolian is powerful, can he still consume more energy than the emperor who is just young? The British government was beaten as a party in this turmoil. If they don't do something, they may suffer in the future.
The emperor is fifteen this year, and someone has already mentioned the election. The emperor's wedding, followed by the pro-government. If nothing else, it will be officially done next year.
The eldest son of the British government has died unexpectedly, and the eldest son Gao Chen is only nine years old this year. The British public can wait, but will the current situation wait for Gao Chen to grow up
The British man sat in the study all night, almost turning the remaining half of his hair white. The next day, he summoned the elders of the Gao family to discuss the matter of adopting Gao Ke to the first concubine Wei.
In the face of the life and death of the entire family, even blood must give in. Although Gao Chen is the grandson of Duke of England, the difference between Gao Chen and Gao Ke is like a natural moat. No matter in age or intelligence, Gao Chen is too different. The second-generation pillar of the British government has passed away unexpectedly. The British government urgently needs an heir who can support the entire family as soon as possible.
Gao Ran has been following the news of her parents' family, and when she heard that her grandfather was planning to adopt, she was so angry that she threw a set of tea sets.
"Is his grandfather stupid? Brother Chen is his real grandson. With such a huge family business, why should he take advantage of an outsider?"
Tao's mother hurriedly stepped forward to cover Gao Ran's mouth: "Oh my girl, you can't say such things. It's taboo for your honor, the grandfather is your grandfather, you can't say that the grandfather is not."
Gao Ran was still very angry. Once Gao Ke succeeded to the Wei family, then Gao Ke would be the son of the Wei family in terms of etiquette and Gao Xi's younger brother, he would be the heir of the Duke of England. And 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 duke fall to Gao Chen
What's more, Gao Ke is bound to worship Wei's incense. Han's carefully compromised for a lifetime, so do you have to look at Gao Ke's face for the rest of his life
Why did Gao Ke, a side child whose parents both died, stole their belongings.
Gao Ran couldn't sit still, so he immediately set up a car and took people back to the British government.
The British mansion was also not calm, Gao Ran first went to see the British man and wife. The British husband and wife looked bad, but their mood was still calm. After Gao Ran greeted him, she hurriedly said, "Grandmother, grandfather will adopt Gao Ke to father?"
"Yes." After these few days, the old lady has accepted this fact. She is indeed partial to her grandson, but these days, Gao Ke is very careful day in and day out. Even if the old lady wears the halo of a parent, she has to admit that Gao Ke is much better than her grandson. If their husband and wife were selfish and forced Gao Chen to be the heir, then after two years, maybe not even a few years, when the emperor gets married next year, the catastrophe of their government will be imminent.
The heir is too small to be embarrassed to use, coupled with Gao Chen's concubine background, it is impossible to ensure that there are political opponents who can talk about their status, and the Duke of the British government will be reduced to a Hou or even an uncle. The situation is even worse. If someone in the DPRK criticizes Zhang Dang's mansion, can the British man alone be able to withstand it
After the British husband and wife heard about these things, she also accepted her fate. Who let her son die early? If the Prince of England is still there, there is no need to worry about it. Her sons and daughters are fortunate, with only two daughters and one son, and Gao Xi passed away early. The British husband and wife know that their son has been feeling guilty about Wei all these years. Maybe they will adopt a smart son to them, so that their husband and wife can continue their incense, so that Gao Xi has a younger brother to rely on, and his son Jiuquan will be happy.
The old lady accepted this fact, and she focused more on investigating the night of the Prince of England's accident. The servant next to his son said that the son-in-law had been checking on Aunt Yun's affairs for the past few days. Perhaps, his galloping on the moonlit night caused him to fall off the horse, and this had something to do with it
Seeing the old lady's calm expression, Gao Ran almost died of anger. With some hatred, she looked at the old lady like a fool: "Grandmother, are you confused? Brother Chen is my father's biological son. Apart from his surname Gao, what relationship does Gao Ke have with our family? Why do you leave your own blood alone and hand over your family property to an outsider?"
"He was adopted by your first-mother, and he is your biological brother." The old lady reminded Gao Ran coldly, "He will become Wei's first-in-class son, you and Gao Xi's younger brother. You have to count on Gao Ke to support you. How can you speak so unpleasantly with an outsider."
The old lady is an authentic ancient woman who grew up in a patriarchal society and has a high degree of acceptance of adoption and other matters. The ancient clans paid attention to the family, not the blood. As long as it was passed on to the prince and the Wei family, Gao Ke would worship the incense of these two people, and it had nothing to do with his own family. "Auntie". Of course, the human heart is fleshy, and there is no way to really cut off the kindness of life and support, but Gao Ke is good at this. His parents have passed away for many years, and there are only widows and nephews in the family. Gao Ke's relationship with the original family is very weak. In the future, he doesn't have to worry about getting close to his biological mother instead of the British government. In addition to his excellent talent, he can completely make up for the fact that he is not the biological son of the eldest son.
The inheritance of the descendants, isn't the image of incense offerings? The old lady really doesn't understand how Gao Ran has such selfish and strange thoughts.
Gao Ran was angry, and couldn't help but move out of Prince Yan's mansion to press people: "Grandmother, after all, brother Chen is the younger brother of one of my mother's compatriots. If the mansion is handed over to someone else in the future, what about the marriage relationship between the Gao family and Prince Yan's mansion? manage?"
The eyes of the British husband and wife are even more strange: "After the adoption, it was Gao Ke who came forward and walked around the palace of King Yan. Adoption is the orthodox etiquette and law, how could King Yan be a mere bloodline and not a serious and upright heir? Moreover, Princess Yan was right. Gao Ke also has the grace of knowing and encountering, and this name is very useful, so we can often go to the palace to walk around and please Princess Yan."
Whose attitude is the most important in Yanwang's mansion now? Of course it's King Yan. It's not easy to please King Yan, but if you please Princess Yan, it is far more useful than flattering King Yan.
When it was over, Gao Ran found that she couldn't get along with the old lady. The old lady really felt that she was her own son after she adopted her. Gao Ran, who grew up in a small modern family, couldn't understand it at all. Both the old lady and Gao Ran felt that the other party was unreasonable and stupid, and the conversation broke up unhappily.
Gao Ran came out of the old lady's courtyard and went directly to see Mrs. Han. Han looked terrified, and when he saw Gao, he pulled her to cry: "However, the grandfather of the country will adopt Gao Ke to Wei. Gao Ke will become Wei's son. Of course, his stance will be towards Wei. How can someone who competes with him for the title have a good face?"
Gao Ran sighed, of course she also thought of this. Once the adoption is successful, they will not only lose tens of thousands of family wealth in the government, but also bear the risk of being left out by Gao Ke, which is simply worse. Han shi cried with no manners, and squeezed Gao Ran's hand tightly: "Ran Er, I heard that your grandmother has found out about Yunniang these days. If she finds out the truth about Yunniang, she will know. I lied and lied to her, knowing where the prince is but not saving me, will she kill me?"
Gao Ran was silent. If Gao Chen became the heir, then of course the biological mother of the future prince could not be sold, but if Gao Ke was the one who took the title... Then the Han family was an ordinary concubine. With the old lady's doting son's character, it's hard to say what will happen.
Han shi kept crying in Gao Ran's ear, and Gao Ran was upset. Gao Ran scolded angrily: "Don't cry, you didn't do these things back then, what's the use of crying now?"
Han shi was stunned, tears streaming down her cheeks, looking ridiculous. Obviously she didn't expect Gao Ran to say such a thing at all.
Gao Ran took a deep breath, she had no choice but to give up. It seems that since Lin Weixi appeared in the capital, Gao Ran has been unlucky one after another. Now Lin Weixi is pregnant, which greatly threatens Gu Chengyao's position as the heir, and even Gao Chen is disturbed by Lin Weixi and the Duke misses out.
Gao Ran suddenly had a strange feeling, why did Lin Weixi target her like this? Why did Lin Weixi get involved in the heir dispute of the British government? Does she have anything to do with the British government
Gao Ran's fingers were gently curled, whether it really matters, just try it and you'll know.
