Bah, a woman with a lowly family will become arrogant when she succeeds, and a slap in the eunuch...

Gu Hengbo did not hide his sarcastic smile at all and said, "I've given you a future, are you thanking me like that?"

"Yes, how can Xu Jieshu want me to thank me?"

"I'm not as hypocritical as you, just say something." Gu Hengbo said: "First, the errand assigned by King Jin is done well, so you must dare to leave and reveal a little news... This time it's not as simple as being sent to Nanyang."

"This is natural, I understand."

Gu Hengbo said: "Say, 'Hou Fangyu is not worthy of Li Xiangjun. The Hou family is a lowly portal and is not worthy of ushering Li Xiangjun in.'"

"Xu Jieshu, this is... too much to deceive people? Why do you have to because of your father and I..."

"Yeah?"

Gu Hengbo sneered and said, "Then you get out of the way. I have something to report to the King of Jin, don't stop me here."

Hou Xun quickly glanced at the guards around him, and saw that these people were like wood, and he did not express his opinion when he saw a high-ranking official being humiliated by a little female official...

Gu Hengbo had already walked around Hou Xun with his hands behind his back and walked towards the lobby.

"Hou Fangyu is not worthy of Li Xiangjun. The Hou family is... a lowly portal, and he is not worthy of ushering Li Xiangjun in." Hou Xun closed his old eyes and said.

"What?" Gu Hengbo asked again.

Hou Xun said it anyway, so he said it again.

Gu Hengbo looked at him and saw that the old man had opened his eyes and his posture was lowered. The little bit of anger just now was gone.

She sneered and said, "Who is it that you are or me?"

"It was our Hou family who offended Lord Li and Xu's proofreader in the past. The official was wrong. I asked Lord Xu to not remember the villain..."

Gu Hengbo nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let Hou Fangyu stop pestering Xiangjun, and don't let me hear a word of slandering us."

"Yes, the official understands."

"Don't get in touch with my dad anymore, get out."

Hou Xun didn't expect that his posture was so low, and the woman was still embarrassed and became angry again.

But the years of ups and downs in the officialdom gave him excellent cultivation, and finally he bowed and replied: "Yes, the official has surrendered..."

He led all the way out of the Jin Prince's Mansion by the guards.

Then, straighten your back.

Humph, it is hard to raise a woman and a villain. But today I finally ended my grudge with the villain around King Jin.

In short, it is better to offend gentlemen than villains. The Chu Dynasty finally has its own place as a scholar and official...

Hou Xun thought so, and the anger on his face disappeared, and he changed into a selfless expression, re-showing the momentum of a generation of honest and high-ranking officials...

Gu Hengbo stood on the corridor, feeling very proud.

She raised her head, spread her hands slightly, tiptoed and turned her feet for a few more times, and couldn't help but laugh happily.

This is the might of King Jin. Relying on him, the gentry and powerful people who looked down on themselves and trampled on them on the ground can only bow their heads...

However, as she smiled, the smile on her face gradually retracted, and a little sadness slowly arose.

"It's so boring."

She sighed in her heart, turned to look into the lobby, and suddenly realized that even if she could already rely on his majesty, she was still feeling empty. It turned out that what she wanted was Wang Xiao...

Three days after Yao Qisheng impeached He Wan, the former Minister of Revenue of Nanjing and the Right Censor of the Northern Chu Capital, Hou Xun, also impeached He Wan and demanded that He Wan be severely punished.

Hou Xun was different from a small official like Yao Qisheng. He had always been famous. As soon as this incident happened, everyone in the court was shocked.

At the beginning, the court officials were still worried and thought that the one party of King Jin who benefited from He Wan was the one who dared to impeach King Jin?

However, they waited and watched for two more days and found that King Jin just kept Hou Xun's memorial.

More and more officials have keenly grasped the subtlety and have written letters to demand severe punishment of He Wan...

But Wang Xiao's reaction was still very strange, leaving all the comments about these things to the point.

Soon, Bai Yizhang took the lead in counterattacking and submitted a memorial to ask Wang Kang to be the prince.

At this point, a court battle began.

Many officials believed that they could not see through the minds of King Jin and were self-protection-oriented, and instead focused on implementing the new policy to avoid this dispute.

Many officials also believe that whoever can guess the thoughts of King Jin will be able to rise up and plunge into this battle of dynasty.

As a result, a strange atmosphere was formed in the Northern Chu court. On the one hand, the new policy had been implemented, and many pragmatic officials were busy with the new policy;

On the other hand, there was endless debate in the court about whether He Wan was responsible for buying black slaves or whether Wang Kang should be implicated.

The debate became increasingly fierce, and even the eyes of many gentry shifted from the new policy to the matter of maritime trade.

Various discussions are rampant.

What are the things like "Maritime trade is huge profit, and those national businessmen led by the Wang family and the He family are trying to be greedy for huge profits in the ocean trade and are no longer interested in the fields"...

Here I heard that "He Wan was trafficking black slaves to mine gold and silver in the New World", and then I heard that "He Wan was cheated by foreign merchants, and the gold and silver were poached by foreign merchants..."

Soon a gentry reacted and asked officials from the clan to write a letter to impeach He Wan and Wang Kang, believing that Wang Kang should be removed from his position in the official trading company.

The smarter ones think that Wang Kang should be named Prince and no longer manage official foreign trade businesses.

Immediately afterwards, Yao Qixian wrote a letter, believing that the official foreign trade business should only retain tobacco, mining and other businesses, and other businesses can be liberalized to private business businesses and set up customs offices for management.

Soon, someone discovered that the court was recruiting a large number of Confucian scholars, and it seemed that they were going to make a big move to go out to sea.

Each topic is overwhelming...

Everyone was not interested in overseas barbarians, but whether they wanted to impeach He Wan or protect the interests of the King of Jin's party, they had to have some understanding of overseas affairs.

So officials who only understood "Folangji" in the past can gradually talk about "The Netherlands, Britain, Spain, Europe, Africa, and the New World..."

Unfortunately, after talking, most people could only ask in confusion, "What are you thinking about if the King of Jin has not expressed his opinion?"

April 18th.

He Wan finally rushed back to the capital from Ryukyu under the name of going to Beijing to report on her work.

Before he entered Beijing, he knew about the current storm against him.

He was not afraid at first, so he rushed to the King of Jin's mansion to ask for a meeting, intending to explain it clearly in person.

However, Wang Xiao did not see him, but sent someone to tell him to participate in the morning court tomorrow.

He Wan began to feel a little nervous. He didn't know what the King of Jin was thinking.

He wanted to go to the Wang family to meet Wang Kang and Wang Zhen, or to meet Xiao Chaihe.

I thought about it but didn't dare.

He returned to He's house and walked around. This was the house that Wang Xiao specially gave to him after regaining the capital. No one lived there at the moment, but He Wan knew that this empty businessman's mansion could no longer accommodate his ambitions.

That night, He Wan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so she got up and went to Wufeng Street again.

The laughing coal shop on Wufeng Street has not opened, but the teahouse opposite is still there.

He Wan patted the door of the teahouse and threw a large ingot of silver to the sleepy waiter, and walked upstairs.

The layout here did not change. He walked to the window and sat down at the window when he first met Wang Xiao.

He closed his eyes and recalled the scene that day... That year, King Jin was still a fifteen-year-old boy, looking a little immature.

It is here that the boiling water in the pot is boiling and the peas are churning on the lid. They talk about their future career...

At that time, how could I have done this today?

To this day, the fifteen-year-old boy had the power of the world, and He Wan also supervised the Northern Chu Navy and took charge of the country.

Although the two have not met for a long time, He Wan believes that she knows better than anyone else how far-sighted the King of Jin is.

He sincerely respected King Jin and believed that he was the subject who did not need the King Jin to worry about the least.

Because the two have the same ideal to make these guests in the world...

This time, He Wan knew where she was wrong.

The mistake is that we should not deceive Wang Xiao, and even threaten those meritorious ministers with interests.

But when asked, everything he did was entirely out of loyalty.

"King Jin, I know that as an example of all officials and all people, you must never agree to the sale of black slaves. That's why I want to do it privately. King Jin just needs to pretend that he doesn't know. In this way, if there are sins and infamy in the future, I can bear it alone... I just want to tell you that I don't want to deceive you..."

He murmured, hoping to tell Wang Xiao privately that he could tell him that He Wan had never been obsessed with greed.

Looking back on this life, I was bullied by my legitimate brother when I was young, and when I was young, I was bullied by foreigners. I saw countless compatriots in a foreign land.

He wanted to let the world know that the concubine's son was not inferior to others, and the people of Dachu who were wandering in a foreign land were not inferior to others...

Until now, his blood is still as hot as the boiling water that day.

...

That night, He Wan turned around again and again and looked at the stairs of the teahouse.

He thought that King Jin must have heard that he had come to the teahouse, and maybe he could come to see him before the morning session.
