Hearing this, Gao Shaoming broke into a cold sweat and asked, "Father, do you mean that after this incident, His Majesty will find me to settle accounts with?"
Gao Jiancheng said, "I am still in the court. His Majesty will give me some face. After this incident, he won't find you to settle accounts with. But one thing is for sure. Your future will stop here. In the future, your name on the promotion list will not stand up to His Majesty. As for the position of the envoy in Zhao, in order to avoid being criticized by the Song State, he won't do anything to you for the time being. Once the incident is over, those in the court who are eyeing this position will naturally hit you when you are down. His Majesty will also push the boat with the current and let you go wherever he is free. You have made a mistake and it is related to Shang Chaozong. You have violated His Majesty's taboo. No one can say a good word for you. "
Gao Shaoming was dispirited and shook his head with a wry smile. "In this case, I admit it. I will go wherever I want to go."
"Stupid!" Gao Jiancheng was furious and his spirit changed. He pointed at his son's nose and scolded, "What kind of world is this? In the world of great competition, it is like rowing a boat against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall back! In the court, one step backward will lead to many steps backward. No one will take the initiative to abdicate for you. Song Jiuming is a good example. Do you want to go up easily after falling down? I don't know if Great Yan can hold on until that time when the new Emperor will bring about a change of ministers! "
"Tong Mo is the prime minister and is deeply trusted by His Majesty. He is as stable as a rock. I can't be the prime minister and there are many people eyeing my position. It is very embarrassing to be stuck in the middle. If I can't even protect my son and the successor of the Gao Family, there will be many people under me. Have you thought about the consequences? When a wall is down, people will push it. When a drum is broken, people will beat it! "
"Shaoming, remember, only those who occupy a certain position and hold a certain amount of resources are useful people. At that time, even if Yan can't hold on any longer, no matter who he belongs to, as long as you are still useful, even if your life is not as good as before, there will still be a place for you to settle down. The Gao family can still survive, but those who have nothing to eat will be worse than beggars on the street. "
Gao Shaoming: "Didn't Father tell me to take it?"
"I'm letting you endure it so that you know when to advance and when to retreat. I'm not letting you collapse after a setback!" Gao Jiancheng reprimanded him, and then continued in a deep voice: "Today, after the usual interrogation, the Chief of the Imperial Household, Tian Yu, originally wanted to summon you to the Palace, but I found an excuse to stop her, letting you enter the Palace tomorrow morning. Do you know why that old eunuch Tian Yu wants you to enter the palace? "
Gao Shaoming thought for a moment. "There shouldn't be any other reason. It's probably related to the Gold State."
Gao Jiancheng: "Can't you see anything else?"
Gao Shaoming cupped his hands together. "Your son doesn't know. Please enlighten me, father."
Gao Jiancheng: "For the time being, there is no way to act against Nanzhou, but that Niu Youdao, the Imperial Court will not let him go. When Song Long was killed, the Imperial Court wanted to deal with him, but that servant used the Ice and Snow Pavilion to deceive them. Later on, they understood. Later, on the eve of Shang Chaozong's attack on Nanzhou, Gamiao Shui and Imperial Concubine Zhou went to Qingshan Commandery to find him. In the end, they fell into his treacherous scheme. Not only did Shang Chaozong seize Nanzhou, His Majesty even lifted a rock to smash his own foot. He made Shang Chaozong the Provincial Governor of Nanzhou. His Majesty suffered in silence. "
"Later on, due to various reasons, His Majesty did not move against him for the sake of the overall situation. All kinds of things have been confirmed. This Niu Youdao is Shang Chaozong's biggest supporter. In the early years, who would have thought that this nameless pawn would have such ability? No one took him seriously! This time, his appearance in Jinzhou and Envoy Song's accident are most likely related to him. How can His Majesty let him go? Even if he didn't do it, His Majesty will first chop off Shang Chaozong's arm. That old eunuch Tianyu is personally involved in this matter. Don't tell me you still don't understand? "
Gao Shaoming suddenly understood. "The palace is going to personally take action?"
Gao Jiancheng nodded.
Gao Shaoming hesitated. "Since His Majesty has made up his mind, can't His Majesty just let the three major sects take action?"
Gao Jiancheng snorted and sneered. "Count on them? They think they are high and mighty in the Yan Country, that they are looking down on all living beings in the Yan Country. The nine people floating in the sky are making the cultivators kill each other. The three major sects are also doing the same. They have been making the cultivators in the Yan Country consume each other, afraid that it will threaten their position. As long as it doesn't harm their interests, they won't easily intervene in the disputes between the cultivators. "
"It's not that His Majesty didn't say that. This time, the three major sects forced His Majesty to withdraw his troops. His Majesty used this as a condition to let the three major sects get rid of Niu Youdao. Logically speaking, His Majesty has no reason to refuse such a big concession. But the strange thing is, Long Xiu actually stopped it. Since that's the case, His Majesty can only do it yourself. Once he succeeds, Long Xiu will have to suppress his anger! "
Gao Shaoming thought for a while and asked, "Father stopped me from entering the palace at night. Do you have any instructions?"
Gao Jiancheng said, "When you returned from Zhao in defeat, you have been paying attention to Niu Youdao's affairs. Is it because you can't take it lying down?"
Gao Shaoming was stunned. He didn't expect his father to have already noticed his thoughts. He lowered his head and said, "Some of my brothers who have been with me for many years were harmed. Indeed, I can't take it lying down. But I didn't act rashly. I was just looking for an opportunity."
"Your opportunity is here!" Gao Jiancheng pointed at his chest.
Gao Shaoming looked up, puzzled. He tried to ask, "The opportunity to kill Niu Youdao?"
"No, no, no. I don't care about Niu Youdao's life or death." Gao Jiancheng waved his hand and carefully reminded, "After you see Tian Yu, remember two things. First, don't waste your years of attention on Niu Youdao. Show him that you have a deep understanding of Niu Youdao. It's best if you make him feel that no one knows Niu Youdao better than you. "
"Secondly, you are still the ambassador of the Yan Kingdom in Zhao. This is your unique advantage. I guess the Kingdom of Zhao will have to restrain themselves and it will be difficult for them to attack Jinzhou. You can use this opportunity to tell Tian Yu that you can use this opportunity to persuade Hai Wuji to make Zhao send its forces to attack Niu Youdao. "
"When you state these two points, show your strong hatred for Niu Youdao. Bring up old and new grudges to show that you want to take revenge. The purpose is to put you in charge of killing Niu Youdao. "
Gao Shaoming tried to ask again, "To atone for my crimes?"
"You have been outside for too long. You still lack experience in court." Gao Jiancheng pointed at him and reminded, "What kind of person is Tian Yu? He is His Majesty's trusted aide and His Majesty's most trusted person. From the series of things that Niu Youdao has done, it can be seen that he is not an easy person to deal with. This time, the palace is personally taking action. Tian Yu will definitely be the person in charge of this matter. However, Tian Yu cannot leave the palace. "
"Remember, it is not important whether Niu Youdao is dead or alive. What is important is that this is an opportunity for you to contact Tian Yuqin. Tian Yu will report the progress of this matter to His Majesty. If Tian Yu can constantly mention you in His Majesty's ear, over time, even if you do not have any merits, you will still have worked hard. This is a great opportunity to improve His Majesty's impression of you. His dissatisfaction with you will also gradually disappear. After a long time, even if you are not one of them, you will still become one of them. In the future, if anything happens, Tian Yu will more or less think of you. A casual word from him in His Majesty's ear will be more effective than Tong Mo. "
"The most important thing is that you are working for Tian Yu. If someone in the court wants to take advantage of this opportunity to step on you, Tian Yu will not easily let them ruin their plans. Even Tong Mo will have to be wary of them. However, after this matter, not only are you fine, but you are also close to Tian Yu. This is the invisible influence of our Gao family. It can stabilize the morale of our Gao family. Our Gao family has a successor, and those fence-sitters will not dare to make a move. "
"Therefore, it is not important whether Niu Youdao is dead or alive. What is important is that you have tried your best to let Tian Yu see it and let His Majesty know. The current situation is not in the Gao family's favor. We have to turn it into an advantage! "He raised his hand and patted his son's shoulder.
Gao Shaoming felt that listening to the words of a wise man was better than reading books for ten years. However, he was still somewhat worried. "What if Tian Yu does not agree?"
Gao Jiancheng said, "Do what you need to do. I will arrange for people to support you in the palace. As long as you do not make any mistakes, there will not be any problems."
Gao Shaoming let out a long breath. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance, father. I understand and know what to do."
Gao Jiancheng nodded with relief. "Alright, you have traveled a long distance and must be tired. Wash up and rest. Tonight, think about how to deal with entering the palace tomorrow. Don't make any mistakes. It has not been easy for the Gao family to be where it is today!"
"Yes! I will remember. "
…
In a tightly guarded house in the Song Capital, Chao Shenghuai, who was sitting in a pavilion, looked up at the sky and sighed from time to time.
The Song Capital had sent a bird to pick him up from Jinzhou as soon as possible. He had not been able to get a chance to meet with Niu Youdao again.
Other than restricting his freedom, they did not treat him badly. They treated him with good wine and food every day.
However, facing a table full of wine and food, he felt tasteless. He could not eat or sleep well, nor was he in the mood to cultivate. He was constantly suffering.
He knew that he had made a big mess of things. He had never thought that he would get involved in such a big mess. He was scared to think about it, but he had no other choice.
He also realized that he had already sunk deep into a vortex, and he was sinking deeper and deeper. Niu Youdao was like a devil that had entangled him, becoming his nightmare. He was unable to shake him off no matter how much he tried, and the more he struggled, the stronger the feeling of suffocation became.
In his heart, he kept telling himself that if he could get over this, he would never want to see Niu Youdao again. Niu Youdao was too scary. Forget about the money, he really didn't want the remaining three million, he just wanted to stay in the Wan Shou Sect and be a humble disciple.
…
In the main hall of the Wan Shou Sect, Chou Shan, who had just returned from the Song Capital, was talking to the Sect Leader, Xi Haitang.
Chao Jing rushed in from outside. "Junior Chou, you are back. Did you see that bastard?"
He had wanted to go to the Song Capital personally, but the sect was afraid that he would cover up for him.
Chou Shan sighed. "I saw him, but the Imperial Court has the support of High Heaven Tower, God of Blood Temple and Broken Sky Palace. They are not willing to let him go. We can't take him away!"
Chao Jing said angrily. "What do they want?"
Xi Haitang snorted. "What do they want? They must be eyeing the fat meat of the Yan Kingdom and want to take advantage of the situation! Now, even if Chao Shenghuai wanted to deny it, they would not give him a chance to stand out and publicly deny it. To put it bluntly, no matter whether the Yan Kingdom did it or not, the imperial court would put the blame on the Yan Kingdom and leave a way out for themselves. Your grandson will not be able to leave the capital and return to the Wan Shou Sect anytime soon. "
"Bastard! Bastard! " Chao Jing's face darkened. He was so angry that he clenched his fists. He wanted to kill Chao Shenghuai.
PS: I am not feeling well. I wanted to sleep early, but I couldn't fall asleep. I got up and wrote a chapter.
