At the end of September, without warning, the conflict between the emperor and Zhang Shoufu broke out.

The incident first started with a scholar who had just entered the officialdom and was full of justice. He actually went out of his way to impeach Zhang Xiaolian for monopolizing government affairs, engaging in wanton corruption, and forming cliques for personal gain. Zhang Xiaolian has been in power for ten years and has never thought that anyone would dare to impeach him. Zhang Xiaolian sneered and naturally pressed down the envelope. He didn't think it was a big deal.

It is unprecedented to dare to impeach Zhang Shoufu. The scholar was beaten twenty times for slandering the chief minister. His superiors were afraid that he would be contaminated, and no one could protect him. The scholar soon lost his job. The scholar had only read books by saints and sages for many years, and his physical condition was not good. Now he was injured and lost his official position. In grief and anger, he developed a high fever and died within a few days.

A life was lost and things finally got serious. After the matter reached the Yushitai, more and more officials impeached him in the morning court, and the emperor only then knew about it.

Now that half of the court belongs to Zhang Xiaolian, Zhang Dang naturally refutes it vigorously. Then within a few days, the person who was impeached was demoted and demoted, and his official position was lost. This in turn further confirmed Zhang Xiaolian’s principles. In the name of being arbitrary and forming cliques for personal gain. Scholars in this dynasty pay attention to integrity. If someone is beaten or even imprisoned due to impeachment, this is not a disaster, but a good reputation. There was a huge quarrel in the court over this, and Zhang Xiaolian suppressed it vigorously, while other civil servants became enthusiastic and continued to impeach.

The early morning was full of bloodshed, but Zhang Xiaolian's power was still strong. After a period of turmoil, the matter was finally suppressed. Instead, those who impeached Zhang Xiaolian were either dismissed from 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 called the chief assistant, he was actually the real emperor of the world.

The emperor supported Zhang Shoufu in the morning meeting, and according to the teacher's instructions, all officials who dared to say that the chief minister was corrupt, took bribes, and exercised power were punished. However, there were faint rumors in the inner palace. It was heard that the emperor himself told the eunuchs around him that Zhang Shoufu was too arrogant, and the emperor seemed displeased.

The wind started at the end of Qingping. Although this matter was eventually suppressed, everyone could see that the emperor and the chief minister would eventually have a battle, and it was only a matter of time before the political crisis broke out.

The British government was also frightened by this incident. A junior member of the Gao family wanted to enter the Sixth Film Department, but in terms of qualifications, he was not as good as him. According to the unspoken rules of officialdom, the Gao family paid some tribute to the chief minister, and the younger members of the Gao family also squeezed out their colleagues and got the lucrative job in the sixth department.

Such things are common in official circles. Who among the princes of the Manchu Dynasty has never done this kind of thing? However, the British government was caught in the storm. When Yan Guan was impeaching Zhang Shoufu, the Gao family was also found and beaten into Zhang Party. Although it was just a false alarm in the end, Zhang Shoufu settled it all with an iron fist, and the British government was naturally not guilty, but this incident frightened the Gao family to death.

They are used to living a smooth life and have not experienced such a big battle for a long time. Because King Yan had to accompany his pregnant princess, he frequently asked for leave from the court in the past few days, perfectly missing the impeachment storm. Without King Yan standing in front of him, the British government bore the brunt of the entire political turmoil.

The British Duke was so frightened that he trapped himself in the study for several days and kept recruiting aides to come over to discuss matters. Although the British government was unscathed in the end, the British government knew very well that they were lucky this time, but what about next time? Seeing that the emperor is about to take office, even if Zhang Xiaolian is powerful, can he still outlast the young emperor? The British government was beaten into pieces during this turmoil. If they don't do something, they may suffer a lot in the future.

The emperor is fifteen this year, and someone has already mentioned the election in the morning. The emperor's wedding was followed by pro-government. If nothing else happens, this matter will be officially handled next year.

The eldest son of the British Duke has passed away unexpectedly, and the eldest son Gao Chen is only nine years old this year. The British Duke can wait, but will the current situation wait for Gao Chen to grow up?

The British father sat in the study all night, and almost half of his remaining hair turned white. The next day, he summoned the elders of the Gao family to come in and discuss the matter of adopting Gao Ke to the imperial concubine Wei.

In the face of the life and death of the entire family, even blood relations have to give in. Although Gao Chen is the biological grandson of the British Duke, the difference between Gao Chen and Gao Ke is like a chasm. No matter in age or intelligence, Gao Chen is too different. The second generation pillar of the British Duke's family has passed away unexpectedly. The British Duke urgently needs an heir who can support the entire family as soon as possible.

Gao Ran had been paying attention to the news about her mother's family. When she heard that her grandfather was planning to adopt the family, she was so angry that she threw a tea set.

"Grandpa, is he stupid? Brother Chen is his real grandson. With such a huge family fortune, why should he take advantage of an outsider?"

Mama Tao quickly stepped forward and covered Gao Ran's mouth: "Oh, my girl, you can't say such things. For the sake of respect, the Duke of Guo is your grandfather, you can't say anything about the Duke of Guo. No."

Gao Ran was still very angry. Once Gao Ke passed to the Wei family, according to etiquette, Gao Ke would be Wei's son and Gao Xi's younger brother. He would be the legitimate son of the British prince. Moreover, he is older than Gao Chen, so doesn't Gao Ke become the eldest brother? With the eldest son here, how could the title of the Duke fall to Gao Chen?

What's more, if this happens, Gao Ke will definitely pay tribute to the Wei family. The Han family has been cautious and compromised all his life. Will he still have to look at Gao Ke's face for the rest of his life?

Why did Gao Ke, a descendant of a side branch whose parents both died, rob their family of their belongings?

Gao Ran couldn't sit still, so he immediately hit the car and took the people back to the British government.

The British prince's mansion was not peaceful either. Gao Ran went to see the British prince and his wife first. The British husband and wife looked bad, but her mood was still calm. After Gao Ran said hello, she hurriedly said: "Grandma, grandpa wants to adopt Gao Ke to his father?"

"Yes." After these few days, the old lady has accepted this fact. She does favor her grandson, but these days Gao Ke spends every morning and night sleeping, and even if the old lady has the aura of being a parent, she has to admit that Gao Ke is much better than her grandson. If they and their husbands follow their selfish motives and force Gao Chen to be the heir apparent, then after two years, maybe not even a few years, when the emperor gets married and takes office next year, a catastrophic disaster will come to their palace.

The heir was too young to be used by the powerful, and coupled with Gao Chen's background as a concubine, some political enemies took advantage of his status to demote the British duke to a marquis or even an uncle. If the situation is even worse, if someone in the DPRK accuses the Duke of being a gangster, can the British Duke alone be able to withstand it?

After the British husband and wife heard what others said, she accepted her fate. Who let her son die early? If the British prince is still there, there is no need to worry about this. Her son's children were not well-off, with only two daughters and one son, and Gao Xi passed away early. The British husband and wife knew that her son had been feeling guilty about the Wei family all these years, so maybe she would give them a clever legitimate son, so that their relationship would continue, Gao Xi would have a younger brother to rely on, and her son would be happy.

The old lady accepted this fact, and she focused more on investigating the night of the British Prince's accident. The boy next to his son said that the prince had been checking up on Aunt Yun in the past few days. Maybe the fact that he fell off his horse while galloping on a moonlit night had something to do with it?

Gao Ran was so angry that he almost died when he saw the old lady looking calm. She looked at the old lady like a fool with some hatred: "Grandma, are you confused? Brother Chen is his father's biological son. Apart from Gao Ke's surname, what does he have to do with our family? Why leave your own bloodline alone and hand over your family property to an outsider?"

"If he is adopted by your aunt, he will be your biological brother." The old lady reminded Gao Ran coldly, "He will become the Wei family's eldest son, the younger brother of you and Gao Xi. If you are wronged in your husband's family, , you will have to count on Gao Ke to support you in the future. How come you speak so harshly when you speak like an outsider."

The old lady is an authentic ancient woman who grew up in a patriarchal society and is very accepting of things like adoption. Ancient clans focused on family, not blood. As long as Gao Ke was adopted by the Crown Prince and the Wei family, Gao Ke would have to enshrine the incense of these two people. It had nothing to do with his own family. He even had to greet his biological mother when he met her. "Auntie". Of course, the human heart grows from the flesh, and there is always no way to truly cut off the kindness and kindness. But the good thing about Gao Ke is that his parents passed away many years ago, and only his widowed sister-in-law and nephew are left in the family. Gao Ke's relationship with his original family was very weak, so he didn't have to worry about being close to his biological mother instead of the British Duke in the future. In addition, his excellent talents could completely make up for the fact that he was not the biological son of the prince.

Isn’t the purpose of inheriting the inheritance from heirs just to offer incense? The old lady really didn’t understand how Gao Ran could have such selfish and strange thoughts.

Gao Ran was so angry that he couldn't help but move out of Prince Yan's Mansion to suppress others: "Grandma, after all, Brother Chen is my brother from the same mother. If the palace is handed over to others in the future, then the Gao family and Prince Yan's Mansion will What about the in-law relationship?"

The eyes of the British husband and wife became even more strange: "After the adoption, it was Gao Ke who came forward to visit Prince Yan's house. Adoption is an orthodox etiquette and law. How could Prince Yan not be a serious heir despite being a mere blood relation? Moreover? Princess Yan is also kind to Gao Ke, and this reputation is very useful. We can use this to go to the palace often to please Princess Yan."

Whose attitude is the most important in the Yan Palace now? Of course it’s King Yan. It is not easy to please King Yan, but if you can please Princess Yan, it will be far more useful than trying to please King Yan.

It was over, Gao Ran found that she and the old lady couldn't make sense. The old lady really felt that after adoption, she would be her biological son. Gao Ran, who grew up in a modern small 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 ended unhappily.

Gao Ran came out of the old lady's courtyard and went directly to see Mr. Han. Han looked panic-stricken. When she saw Gao, she pulled her to cry: "Of course, the Duke is going to adopt Gao Ke to the Wei family. When Gao Ke becomes the Wei family's son, of course his position will be towards the Wei family, and for us, How can the person who competes with him for the title have a good face?"

Gao Ran sighed, of course she had thought of this too. Once the adoption was successful, they would not only lose tens of thousands of property belonging to the Duke's family, but they would also bear the risk of being left out by Gao Ke, which would add insult to injury. Han cried without any manners and squeezed Gao Ran's hand tightly: "Ran'er, I heard someone said that your grandmother has found out about Yun Niang in the past few days. If she finds out the truth about Yun Niang, she still knows I lied to her and didn't save the prince even though I knew where he was. Will she kill me?"

Gao Ran was silent. If Gao Chen became the crown prince, then of course the future Duke's biological mother would not be sold, but if it was Gao Ke who succeeded him... then Han would be an ordinary concubine. With the old lady’s doting character, it’s hard to say what will happen.

Han kept crying in Gao Ran's ears, which made Gao Ran upset. Gao Ran cursed angrily: "Stop crying. Didn't you do these things in the first place? What's the use of crying now?"

Han was stunned, tears hanging on her cheeks, looking extremely ridiculous. Obviously she didn't expect Gao Ran to say such a thing.

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, and everything is going wrong. Now Lin Weixi is pregnant, which greatly threatens Gu Chengyao's position as the eldest son. Even Gao Chen was confused by Lin Weixi and missed the Duke.

Gao Ran suddenly had a strange feeling. Why did Lin Weixi target her like this? Why does Lin Weixi get involved in the succession dispute of the British government? Does she have anything to do with the British government?

Gao Ran curled his fingers gently. Whether it matters or not, you will know after giving it a try.
