Of course, Gao Qiang is not as incompetent and miserable as Feng Linyi said.
No matter what his character is, we don't care whether he, as an official, can really bring any benefit to this country.
As a corrupt official and a former jester, he also has his own way of survival.
From the central government to the local governments, he is the protective umbrella for many corrupt officials who share the same path with him.
It is also the hope of those people for promotion and evaluation. What is woven together is a big network called interests.
However, from another perspective, are those corrupt officials who appear to be protected by him not his protective umbrella?
It's just that Feng Linwen clearly used unfair comparison methods.
Step by step, the atmosphere was created, and the first four ministers who cared about life were praised in secret, but they were fair on the surface. However, Gao Qiang was placed at the end, belittling him as worthless, as if he was separated from the first four. A gap that cannot be ignored.
At a certain moment, Gao Qiang even had the illusion that he was really not good enough.
Of course, if Gao Qiang is given some time, he can completely understand what kind of trick Feng Linwen used.
But now... Feng Linwen suddenly jumped up from the chair, exerted force on his feet, and landed directly opposite Gao Qiang.
The long sword in his hand was raised high, and the sword with cold light fell directly on Gao Qian's neck.
"Your Majesty! Do you want to kill me? The five ministers who care about your life and the other four have already regarded you as nothing, but I am the only one who still comes to see you. You have tried every possible means to lure me here, is it just to kill you with a sword? Is this my head?" Gao Qiang straightened his back and spoke loudly, as if he was made of iron.
Feng Linmo could even see the spittle flying up in the sunlight because he was too excited when he spoke.
A wisp of beard flew down Gao Qiang's neck, and the sharp sword tip drew lightly across his neck no more than an inch away.
"Your Majesty! You intend to create a new power department as a tool for you to regain your power. But you have nothing now. Even in this palace, there are not many maids and eunuchs who really obey your orders. You really have no one. Available, no money available.”
"But I am different. You can hand over this new power department to me. I will complete it as quickly as possible to repay the emperor's favor." Gao Qiang's shadow in the sun seemed a bit tall, and the light shining in from outside the door Sunshine became his background.
Feng Linwen's hair was messed up and covered his entire face, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.
The atmosphere seemed a bit dull.
Gao Qiang's face gradually showed a hint of victory.
Although they are both ministers who care about life, Gao Qiang has never been able to grasp the real power. Feng Linwen's seemingly "child's play" behavior gave him hope.
A violent organization independent of the court, what a perfect 'shell' it is.
As long as he has the emperor's righteous permission, he can turn the wealth and connections he has accumulated over the years into real strength, and use it to compete with the other ministers who care about life, and even gain the upper hand.
Don't underestimate the role of 'nominal'.
Without this name, the official position he currently holds restricts him. While giving him rights, it also prevents him from gaining greater power. He is a vested interest in the rules, so if he does not have absolute strength, he cannot try to break the rules.
Cao Cao had already achieved great success, but he still blackmailed the emperor to order the princes.
The name used is the emperor, and the name is justified.
"Hahaha...hahaha!" Feng Linwen laughed like crazy.
Suddenly he dropped the sword in his hand and pulled out a lot of imperial edicts and tokens from the box on the side.
"Take it! Take it all!" He threw these things towards Gaoqiang like trash.
Gao Qiang's eyes showed excitement, he picked up a roll of imperial edict and a token, opened it in a hurry, and then left excitedly.
Just like when he came, when he left, he was just as rude, shameless, and arrogant. He didn't take the emperor Feng Linhui seriously at all.
"You just gave it to him? After all your hard work, didn't you make him a wedding dress? This is a real villain. He will never keep his promise and help you consolidate the imperial power. He will even... he will restrict you even more. "Kluba stared at Feng Linyi with his own body and said.
In the eyes of others, Feng Linwen was still crazy and continued to talk to himself: "Hahaha...! Making a wedding dress? Me? How is it possible! Power is poisonous. Supervise all officials and open a big prison. , behead first and report later, the imperial power has granted such a great power, it should make all the officials fearful, it should make the ministers worried, and it should make many people unable to sleep!"
"From the moment he walked into the hall, he was no longer the well-rounded Gao Qiang who could mix well among officials! He had greater rights and satisfied more of his desires. But the same... ··He will also have more enemies, which will turn the officialdom of Dali into chaos."
Feng Linwen's loud laughter spread far away, and many people listening in the corner hurriedly used various methods to send messages outside the palace.
Feng Linwen's meeting with Gao Qiang today could not be hidden from anyone who wanted to know.
Soon there will be an uproar in both the government and the public.
······
Gao Jian was very excited after receiving the imperial edict and token.
After leaving the palace, he gradually calmed down.
On the carriage, a charming woman covered in snow-white body with fox ears on her head threw herself into Gao Qiang's arms and stroked Gao Qiang's chest with her soft fingers.
"Master Prime Minister! Did that crazy emperor agree?" the woman asked softly, with strange green fluorescence flashing from time to time in her eyes.
Gao Qiang played with the furry tail behind the woman, with a complicated expression on his face.
"I have been playing tricks all my life, but today I was played by that lunatic and fell into his scheme. He wanted to use me as a gunman and let me distribute the benefits that had already been distributed, just like a stagnant pool of chaos in the court. Let him enter the stage and seize power." Gao Qian couldn't help but exert force in his hands when he thought of this.
The fox girl let out a charming cry and arched her head into Gao Qiang's arms.
"Then the prime minister doesn't plan to continue?"
Gao Qiang sighed, but shook his head: "This little emperor... no matter whether he is really crazy or pretending to be crazy, we cannot underestimate him. Since I accepted the bait he gave me, I will I had to swallow it in my stomach.”
"The current situation is indeed stable on the surface. But that old man Cheng Penghai... is almost finished. People who don't know think he can last for a long time, but in fact... hehe! The backlash of the curse that killed the late emperor, I'm afraid it will make it difficult for him to sleep day and night, and he can no longer support himself."
"His earth-shattering cultivation has now become the poison that tortures him. As long as he loses his power and wants to survive, there will be countless assassins who will kill him one after another."
"Once he dies, the situation in North Korea and China will inevitably change drastically. Whether it is Huo Quyi or Zhao Kaicheng... they may take advantage of the opportunity."
"In the name of being a Qingjun, he can not only kill the young emperor, but also get rid of me and Wang En, killing two birds with one stone!"
"At this time, I must strengthen my power and become a real chess player. Wait until the old guy dies, and then join forces with Wang En to divide the country equally... Maybe I can fill the vacancy left by the old guy's death."
The carriage passed through the streets and alleys, gradually disappearing into the crowd.
In this world, everyone has their own agenda, and no one is a fool.
