~7 min read 1,228 words

"Master, this matter is confirmed, the whole Changan City is going crazy!"

"And there is news that when Prime Minister Gao left the palace, he was not wearing the purple-gold crown; he should... should have really broken with the Empress!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Boom!

Hu Delu felt as if he had been hit hard, his heart trembling, and he staggered back.

Lady Hu was quick-eyed and fast-handed, hugging Hu Delu, and said to him, "Master, be strong when things happen! Your health is the most important thing!"

Hu Delu's eyes turned red, staring fixedly at Lady Hu to the side, "How to be strong? How do you want me to be strong?"

"Damn it!"

"That was one hundred thousand taels, one hundred thousand taels bought such a painting called Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix, but in reality, it was a painting of little chickens pecking at rice!"

"This damn thing is still hanging in the center of the main hall, widely inviting friends to come and admire Prime Minister Gao's painting; now that Prime Minister Gao has resigned in the Jin Luan Hall, how can the Empress not be angry?"

"My face is completely lost; even if I go to hell, the ancestors in the nine springs, knowing that I spent one hundred thousand taels to buy a painting of little chickens pecking at rice, would have to kill me!"

Hu Delu's eyes turned red.

At this very moment, how could he not know that the so-called charity auction two days ago was a carefully designed trap for pigs, and the ones being slaughtered were this group of people!

Gao Yang had long ago made up his mind to resign!

The steward heard this, his eyes turned fierce, and he said, "Master, I have a way, everyone I know is a good hand; Prime Minister Gao cheated you so much, should we..."

He made a throat-slitting gesture!

The next second!

Bang!

Hu Delu kicked out.

"You little bastard, the Duke of the State is old, not dead! Even if Prime Minister Gao has no power, is he someone you and I can provoke?"

"Are you crazy?"

Hu Delu, in a rage, directly punched and kicked, blasting the steward out.

Finally.

In anger, Hu Delu directly took down the "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" and wanted to tear it up.

Lady Hu hurriedly stopped him, "Husband, don't be impulsive, what if... what if Prime Minister Gao can gain power in the future?"

Hu Delu smiled mockingly.

"With such a breakup, the Empress has lost her face, how can he gain power?"

But after hesitating, Hu Delu gave up and sighed deeply.

"..."

Wang Prefecture.

"Damn!"

"Damn it!"

"Gao Yang, you little brat, you are not a human!"

"You sold me this Tiger Roaring in the Forest painting for fifty thousand taels, and it was a tiger that hadn't even grown its teeth; even when resigning, you want to cheat me out of a sum; I want to fight him to the death!"

Wang Zhong was originally watching the fun, immersed in the shock of Gao Yang's resignation, when he suddenly thought of the "Tiger Roaring in the Forest" he bought at the charity auction!

He couldn't hold it anymore!

Fifty thousand taels, just to buy this broken thing?

"Father, calm down!"

"Prime Minister Gao has always been like this; now that he is in the limelight and the Empress's attitude is ambiguous, don't be impulsive!" Wang Xiao advised from the side, extremely calm.

"Xiao'er, why aren't you sad?" Wang Zhong breathed heavily and looked over suspiciously.

Wang Xiao looked extremely pained, "Child's heart... has long been broken; it's just that a man doesn't cry easily; when the pain reaches the extreme, he can't cry anymore!"

"So that's it!"

Wang Zhong first understood, then added, "Actually, these fifty thousand taels were left for you to marry a wife."

Boom!

Wang Xiao felt as if he had been hit hard, instantly petrified.

The next second!

A shrill and indignant howl suddenly echoed over the Wang Prefecture.

"Ah!"

"Prime Minister Gao, you are not a human! Even the money for someone else to marry a wife you cheat; you have no heart!"

"..."

Cui family.

Cui Jian carried the wild cursive script he bought from the "Charity Auction" and walked over angrily.

"Gao Yang, you brat, you are simply bullying people too much!"

"Before resigning, you actually want to cheat my Cui family out of a sum; twelve thousand taels to buy a ghost-drawn talisman that I can't understand; is this something a human does?"

Cui Jian pushed the door open, his anger sky-high.

But the next second.

He was stunned.

Inside the study, Cui Xinghe was in a plain white robe, holding a feather fan, standing by the window, his temperament ethereal and otherworldly, like an immortal descending to the world!

Hiss!

Cui Jian gasped.

"Xinghe, what are you..."

In the middle of the night, this attire was truly a bit weird.

Cui Xinghe turned around leisurely and smiled indifferently, "Father, this is a good thing, why are you angry?"

"Good thing?"

Spending twelve thousand taels of silver to buy a ghost-drawn talisman that Gao Yang wrote casually was clearly being cheated.

How is this a good thing?

"Xinghe, where is this good?" Cui Jian asked puzzledly.

Cui Xinghe waved his wide sleeves and said lightly: "Although Prime Minister Gao has broken with the Empress, the general trend of the world has not yet changed!"

"Prime Minister Gao is gone, does the Empress not need people? I, Cui Xinghe, can't beat Prime Minister Gao, can't I beat others?"

When Cui Xinghe said this, his whole body exuded a powerful confidence.

Gao Yang resigned, he should suppress the scholars of the world!

Cui Jian's eyes also lit up.

That's right!

Gao Yang is gone, but the Xiongnu threat and the balance of the three kingdoms still exist; how can they not use people?

His son Cui Xinghe is undoubtedly a powerful candidate in the court!

"Xinghe, you aren't lying flat anymore? Not indulging in sensual pleasures anymore?" Cui Jian asked full of earnestness, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

Cui Xinghe's eyes were like lightning, and he said decisively: "Father, your words are wrong; when did I lie flat? It was just temporary hibernation, biding my time, waiting for the right moment!"

"A real man born between heaven and earth, how can he imitate those mediocre people and do things of lying flat and living in safety? That kind of behavior is the act of a coward, the choice of a loser!"

"I, Cui Xinghe, must rise up in this life and never lie flat!"

"Father, do you still remember your catchphrase? Before, when Prime Minister Gao was here, I couldn't say it, but now... I can say it!"

Cui Jian was full of ecstasy, trembling with excitement.

"Good, good, good!!"

Cui Jian shouted good repeatedly with excitement, very gratified, and couldn't help but shout out that long-lost catchphrase, "My son Xinghe has the appearance of a Prime Minister!"

Cui Xinghe turned around again, facing the heavy night sky outside the window, standing with his hands behind his back.

His voice was calm, but carried a confidence and disdain that controlled the universe.

"Father, the era belonging to Gao Yang is over."

"Next, it should be my era."
