Chapter 588 If everyone knows how to be content, then who will die?

"It was Luo Yin's sour Confucianism who had to make things difficult for me when he entered the office, or the old man in Weizhuang...who was he who dared to slander His Majesty and intended to slander me!?"

After Gong sent off his lord, Gao Yu immediately changed his face, gritted his teeth, and his words were filled with a strong sense of hatred.

In the main hall of the official residence, there were also a group of officials sitting on both sides. Most of them looked at each other with a worried expression, including the head of the Ministry of Revenue who was domineering in front of Feng Dao. Now seeing Gao Yu's angry look, he dared not show off his power as a master, just like a frightened quail, nestled on a chair and didn't dare to take a breath.

"But Gao Shangshu... Since it was His Majesty who came forward personally, the official thought it was not appropriate to have another conflict with Yu Shi Wei..."

After a while of quietness, a inspector who belonged to the Ministry of Revenue hesitated for a while and finally persuaded him. Although Gao Yu's face was still angry, he was not a reckless person after all. After hearing this, he thought about it for a moment and nodded slowly.

Originally, Gao Yu's relationship with other meritorious civil officials at the top of the Wei power group can be roughly said to be neither far nor close. He was not as irresistible as Li Zhen, who was more radical, and had a lot of trouble with some important officials, but he was proud of his merits and a little arrogant, so he couldn't say who he was closer to... Basically, he dealt with other colleagues of similar status, Gao Yu also adhered to a principle:

Yu Gong and we are all ministers of the Wei State, so we should work together when we should cooperate; but I don’t care about your personal affairs, but don’t let me get rich.

However, as his status continued to improve, when Gao Yu's behavior of making money became more and more negatively affected the Wei Dynasty, virtuous and capable ministers such as Wei Zhuang could not sit idly by, so the cracks between the two sides were inevitably getting bigger and bigger.

At this point, we should stop when we see the good, be a serene official in the capital? But once power and profit are in our hands, who would be willing to give up?

Gao Yu was born in Yangzhou, Huainan Army. He experienced Bi Shiduo, Qin Yan turned against Gao Pian, and Yang Xing secretly launched troops to fight against rebellion. Until the evil thief Sun Ru caused trouble in the Jianghuai and Jiangdong... He struggled from the pile of dead people who cannibalize each other to demand a way out, and was hungry and afraid of poverty. The more he did this, the more he would have a pathological persistence about wealth and power.

So if someone dares to stand up and cut off Gao Yu's way of making money, his mentality will be like a common saying in later generations:

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, and this hatred is irreconcilable.

However, with Gao Yu's mind, he could also clearly understand his identity and position. Li Tianqu stood up and warned him. Although Gao Yu was full of complaints, he had never thought of rebelling against the Wei Dynasty. Just like the treacherous prime minister Cai Jing, who had been ups and downs in the Song Dynasty for decades, had been dismissed from office by Song Huizong several times, but every time he made a comeback, he would punish his political enemies to death, and he still regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty...

Therefore, Li Tianqu came forward to scold him, and Gao Yu did not dare to show any displeasure, so he had to admit defeat. However, his resentment was full of anger and anger on other colleagues who began to openly accuse him of using his power for personal gain.

"...It's not only the supervisory inspection and inspection of taxes, customs duties, supervision of the grain service, salt profits in various departments, and the transportation department of the commercial and goods circulation has officials who have close contact with him... It's too easy for outsiders to catch the handle, and since Your Majesty has also come forward in person, the limelight is now tight, and he has to endure this anger for the time being..."

Gao Yu suddenly let out a long breath of turbid air, but the anger on his face gradually faded, and a bit of cunning and shrewdness appeared in his eyes:

"But the old man in Weizhuang is now 70 years old, and most of his body is buried in the loess. How many years will he have to live? In addition to Wang Shifan, there is no one in the court, and it is not worth worrying about Han Jian, Zhang Ji, Liang Zhen, Zhu Jian and others who are surrendered ministers;

Zhang Quanyi has been living a pampered life in recent years and has no intention of making enemies with me; Luo Zhiqing is my deputy of the Ministry of Revenue. Although his personal relationship is not deep, he does not openly want to oppose me; but the Yan Kexue is really hard to guess his thoughts... However, most of the court officials who dare to be enemies with me have claimed to be honest and honest, and I and Li Zhen, the Honglu Temple, may not be able to work together..."

As Gao Yu was speaking, he stood up again, looked around at the officials present who were following him, and said in a deep voice:

"I asked myself that I worked hard for the country and made great contributions. I did not value vanity but only value real profit. But I always thought that some people who were honest and honest in killing me would cut off my wealth. Humph! Whose credit is the people in the Great Wei Dynasty?

I just hate that Your Majesty still favors the old man in Weizhuang now, so we have to endure and hibernate for the time being... But after all, the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. If you become an official, who doesn't want to be rich or powerful? When the time is right, I will figure it out with them clearly that the officials who dare to work with Weizhuang to oppose me, with the principal and profit.

After all, money can be mastered. Then I will take charge of the court, the Censorate, and the Censorate, and the Transshipment Commission. There are many officials in the Transshipment Commission. When I use it, who else dares to fan the flames in front of His Majesty? Then I will just follow my instructions and act in a way that will make you prosperous and prosperous, and you will definitely not lose your wealth!"

After hearing Gao Yu's words, everyone present immediately realized that not only would he not give in but would give up his previous ways of making huge profits, he even began to plan to compete for power and cultivate his party members, and intend to stand at the top of power in the Wei Dynasty court, except the Emperor Li Tianqu!

Some people showed excitement on their faces, and some others had complicated expressions, and their eyes were still mixed with a little hesitation... But with Gao Yu's gloomy eyes, they glanced at them one by one, and the officials who were attached to him were busy bowing...

After beating Gao Yu too much, Li Tianqu took the time to summon Li Zhen to the palace for a talk.

Although Li Zhen was in charge of the Honglu Temple responsible for diplomatic matters, and the possibility of conflicts and disputes with colleagues such as Wei Zhuang, Luo Yin, and Wang Shifan was relatively smaller, but he was narrow-minded after all, and he was a vengeful temperament.

Because of the disagreement of ideas, they had a very unhappy relationship with each other. However, because Li Zhen failed the imperial examination several times, he was so resentful that he wanted to kill the Lord Qingliu of the Tang Ting Gongqing Liu... After being with his colleagues who did not like each other for a long time, how could he remain indifferent?

Therefore, over the years, court officials who were used as guns as temptations have begun to deliberately collect the crimes of poor governance by the other party, and wrote a letter to impeach and attack opposing colleagues. Although the storm of fighting in the court has not yet affected the officials of the court with a third rank or above, people with discerning eyes can also realize that the phenomenon of forming cliques and being a faction in the court has become increasingly obvious.

Li Zhen is cunning and shrewd, and there is no conclusive evidence yet. It can be determined that he has repeatedly made secret moves and began to suppress his colleagues who have disagreements... It was just like the way he treated Gao Yu. Li Tianqu gave Li Zhen the last warning to him with words and reminded him to do it himself, and that some things should not be done too much.

However, Li Zhen's reaction was to crow the sky. He repeatedly called for his wrongdoing, expressed his innocence, and said bluntly that he was loyal and devoted himself to the country. Could it be that he was a villain who confuses the public and intends to slander and accusation... However, before Li Zhen continued to show his verbal benefits, Li Tianqu waved impatiently and sent him away.

All that should be said has been said. After all, the Wei Dynasty is now able to dominate the Central Plains and ranks first among the various vassals of various countries. Gao Yu and Li Zhen have indeed played an important role. However, although Li Tianqu is still unable to determine whether Gao Yu can listen to the advice and restrain his greed... But with Li Zhen's character, he probably wouldn't be willing to do so. He just survived this period of limelight, and he still planned to conspire to murder and attack political enemies...

I will not warn you from now on, and I will even pretend to be confused for a period of time. Let's see what will happen to you in the future... Even if you are the founding heroes, if you are still stubborn and do not repent, you will be unrepentant at that time, you will be unrepentant.
