Chapter 80

Gao Yang left the palace all the way, which made him a bit disappointed. He originally thought he could wander around the palace.

Maybe he could even trick his way into the harem, for example, to see the big bath pool where concubines and maids bathe, but in fact, he thought too much.

Along the way, let alone concubines, he couldn't even see a dog.

"Unfilial son!"

Just out of the palace, Gao Yang suddenly heard a familiar roar.

He looked up, and what came into view was Gao Feng's dignified face.

"Get in the carriage!"

Gao Yang obediently got into the carriage.

When Gao Feng saw Gao Yang, his anger flared up, especially since he couldn't beat Gao Yang up. This breath was stuck in his chest, which was so uncomfortable.

After finally calming down a little, Gao Feng said, "Your Majesty kept you alone, which is supreme favor. Did you have any disrespectful behavior?"

Gao Yang thought about it and shook his head immediately.

"Father, don't worry, I kept my eyes straight the whole time and never had any disrespectful behavior."

Gao Feng touched his beard with some relief.

"The current Empress is the Empress of Da Qian. As a subject, one should have awe, and an appropriate distance should still be maintained."

"I came from your age, and I know the temptation of the Empress, but don't have thoughts you shouldn't have, otherwise, let alone you alone, even the entire Duke of the State's mansion is in danger."

Gao Feng looked serious.

Gao Yang nodded, "I know."

As the eldest son of the Duke of the State's mansion, he only needs to hold the Empress's thigh tightly and then kill the political enemies in the court.

Then, as Da Qian becomes more prosperous, his life will get better and better.

By then, what kind of woman won't he have? A tree and a forest, he still knows how to weigh them.

It's not that the tree of the Empress is not good, but a forest is more cost-effective.

Seeing this, Gao Feng didn't say anything more, but changed the subject, "Your counterattack this time was indeed beautiful, and I also feel very relieved."

"But the Great General of the Ducks and the matter of tricking Wang Zhong into eating locusts are too extreme, I fear it will be an endless struggle."

Gao Feng was somewhat worried.

But Gao Yang smiled, "Father, do you think that Wang Zhong repeatedly impeached me and the Duke of the State's mansion in the court, and he was the only one behind it?"

"My Duke of the State's mansion has long been in an endless struggle with him."

Gao Yang said, and Gao Feng's expression suddenly changed.

"Are you saying that Prince Rong is behind Wang Zhong?"

Gao Yang nodded, and an unprecedented coldness radiated from his body, "The struggle started from the moment I was tricked by Wu Cheng."

"The officials in the court are all old foxes. They couldn't have not known about me uncovering the Empress's edict for seeking talent."

"Grandfather sits in the Duke of the State's mansion, and the court has to give Grandfather some face."

"But starting from Linjiang City, the impeachments against me and the Duke of the State's mansion came one after another. Except for a few upright censors, I fear the others are all Prince Rong's people!"

Boom!

It was as if a thunderbolt from the nine heavens fell in Gao Feng's mind, leaving him at a loss.

The doubts of these days suddenly became clear.

He looked at Gao Yang as if he had seen a ghost.

He had been struggling in the officialdom for decades, so he was naturally not a fool. He had also smelled something wrong with the atmosphere in the court recently.

But he didn't think that deeply.

Gao Yang said this, and Gao Feng also realized the crisis. He narrowed his eyes and said, "But why is Prince Rong so blatant?"

Gao Yang touched the black iron token in his sleeve, his eyes sharp, "The answer is very simple: use the Duke of the State's mansion to establish prestige, force the officials to take sides, and then threaten imperial power!"

"Father, this storm has long been irreversible. Wang Zhong being away from the court is a good thing for us, and if I had taken this errand, Prince Rong would definitely have obstructed it and made trouble in secret."

"On the contrary, if Wang Zhong goes to Guanzhong, Prince Rong will not sit idly by, and the decree will be extremely smooth."

Gao Feng looked serious, "Does your grandfather know about this?"

Gao Yang nodded, "Grandfather asked Father to allocate some silver to me to kill Prince Rong."

Gao Feng nodded, "I will send someone to send some later. This matter concerns our Duke of the State's mansion, you handle it yourself."

"Thank you, Father."

Gao Yang said with a calm face.

Gao Feng was somewhat frustrated, but also somewhat relieved.

What was frustrating was that since Prince Rong made trouble until now, and with the one-sided impeachment in the court, he didn't smell the crisis at the first time.

Even his crisis awareness was not as good as Gao Yang, a junior.

But what was gratifying was that he was not good at power schemes, otherwise he wouldn't have had only the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for so many years, with Gao Tianlong's help. Now that Gao Yang can stand up, it has reduced his pressure.

Then, there was silence all the way.
