The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

Chapter 18 I really want an Old Huang with a sword box...

Although Gu Jingzhi's official career was smoother than Chen Baonian's, he simply took a different approach, which made Emperor Xia notice his talent.

But when it comes to social skills, Chen Baonian is indeed much better than him.

In his previous life, he spent most of his time wandering underground, and in this life, he was imprisoned in the palace for various periods of time. In both his previous and subsequent lives, he had not learned the art of socializing.

During his time in the capital, Chen Baonian brought him a lot of useful information.

"Jingzhi, I heard a few days ago that His Majesty and the Crown Prince seem to have incompatible political views..."

"What?"

Gu Jing was stunned.

Incompatible?

is it so serious?

Although he could see that Emperor Xia was somewhat dissatisfied with the Crown Prince during his recent interactions with Emperor Xia, he did not notice anything when they met in the Imperial Study today.

Why is it so incompatible?

Chen Baonian whispered, "I'm not exaggerating. It's said that the Crown Prince and His Majesty have had many arguments during court meetings, and His Majesty has been so angry that he's dismissed court several times!"

"Is there such a thing? Did you hear it wrong, Brother Baonian?"

"Ok?"

Chen Baonian was stunned and said, "You are often on duty before the emperor, don't you see the clues?"

Gu Jingzhi shook his head.

Although he was considered a close minister of the emperor, his rank did not qualify him to attend court meetings, and those ministers would not gossip about what happened in the court, after all, it involved the royal family.

Even someone in a high position like Song Pu would not mention it easily.

"Brother Baonian! Although the affairs of the imperial court are not particularly secretive, they are not accessible to ordinary people. How did you find out?"

Chen Baonian smiled bitterly and said, "It's because I've been running around for official positions these days and met some young men from wealthy families. They mentioned it when we were drinking!"

"..."

Gu Jingzhi's expression changed. He stared into Chen Baonian's eyes and said seriously, "Brother Baonian, listen to my advice. It's better to have less contact with those children from aristocratic families in the future!"

The children of wealthy families acted recklessly, but Chen Baonian was just a poor man with a little wealth.

Emperor Xia is determined to deal with the aristocratic families. If something happens in the future, those children of the aristocratic families have the support of their families, so perhaps nothing will happen. But what about Chen Baonian?

He was just a powerless official from a poor family.

Seeing Gu Jingzhi's serious look, Chen Baonian didn't dare to be arrogant and quickly said, "Don't worry, Jingzhi, we only have occasional contact and we are not close friends!"

"call!"

Gu Jingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

I have been in this world for several months, but the only person who can truly be my friend is Chen Baonian.

This guy is not a very thoughtful person, but his character is worth making friends with. He truly regards Gu Jingzhi as a friend, so he said this.

Seeing Gu Jingzhi's cautious look, Chen Baonian immediately smiled and said, "I'm about to take up my post in Fufeng County. I'll probably lose contact with those powerful children in the future. But you..."

"Although you are extremely honored and favored now, you must be careful in everything, especially with His Majesty and the Crown Prince. Don't get yourself involved!"

Chen Baonian sighed quietly, "You and I are just insignificant figures in this officialdom. It's better for us to watch and talk less about the affairs of those big shots!"

"Brother Baonian, don't worry. I will be extremely careful!"

"hehe!"

Chen Baonian said with a smile: "With Jingzhi's character, it would be difficult for him to make mistakes! It's me who is worried too much. Now that we have finished talking about things, let's have a drink together! Jingzhi doesn't need to see me off tomorrow. He will wait for me to return to the capital one day..."

"Come on, cheers!"

……

The drinking session lasted for almost two hours, and Chen Baonian was drunk. After Gu Jingzhi asked Lao Huang to send him back, he sat at the desk, thought for a while, and suddenly sighed softly, picked up the pen and began to write.

When Old Huang came back, he saw Gu Jingzhi still writing furiously at his desk and couldn't help but say, "Sir, it's late at night and you've had some wine. You should go to bed early!"

"It's okay! If you feel sleepy, just rest first! Brother Baonian is leaving Beijing tomorrow, and I need to prepare something for him!"

Gu Jingzhi didn't even raise his head. As he wrote, he said, "Besides, isn't my grandfather in Ningzhou? I can take this opportunity to ask him to help bring a letter!"

Old Huang was immediately surprised when he heard this and asked, "Sir, are you saying you want to write a letter to the old master?"

"Well! It's time to write a letter to Grandpa and the others!"

Gu Jingzhi wrote while answering Lao Huang's questions.

These days, he has been suppressing his desire to contact the Lin family. In fact, he is somewhat concerned about the attitude of the Gu family.

Whether it was his biological mother or his own experience in the Marquis' Mansion, it was enough to show that the Gu family had other intentions.

It's reasonable to say that even if a wife of a marquis has passed away, there is no reason for her to bring trouble to her natal family, right?

He has also been collecting some information over the past few days. As early as twenty years ago, the Lin family was a big family in Yun Country, but in just twenty years, it has declined like this.

Old Master Lin, Gu Jing's maternal grandfather, is still in good health. There is no reason why the Lin family would decline at the hands of such a person.

The Lin family began to decline after Gu Jingzhi's biological mother passed away.

All of this is enough to show that the Gu family was behind the scenes fanning the flames.

After all, the Lin family is just a local powerful family. Since the destruction of the Yun Kingdom, no one in the family has served as an official in Daxia. How can this local powerful family deal with a noble marquis's mansion?

Gu Jingzhi had not taken the initiative to contact them because he was afraid that the Gu family would notice. If he did anything else, the Lin family might be implicated again.

This time Chen Baonian went to Ningzhou to take up his post, which was a great opportunity. Even if he helped Gu Jingzhi carry a letter, the Gu family would not notice.

Of course, Gu Jingzhi would not tell Lao Huang about his concerns.

It’s not that I don’t believe it, but even if I tell him these things, he may not understand them.

As an old servant, I guess I am only suitable for doing the job of leading the horse and holding the stirrups, and I am not very brave.

The only victory is loyalty.

Seeing that he is not young anymore, Gu Jingzhi’s only hope for him may be... that he lives a few more years!

He had originally thought that among the servants left by his old mother, whom he had never met, only Old Huang was left. Could he be the hidden master in the novel?

As a result, it turned out that he was wrong!

Although there are martial arts in this world, even with the high-flying skills, one can only jump onto the roof or something. Internal strength does not exist at all.

Old Huang in my family doesn’t have a sword case, and he would be so scared that he would run two miles away when he saw someone drawing a sword.

Apart from the name Lao Huang, it seems that he is not of the same level as the Lao Huang in his mind.

Unconsciously, it was already late at night. Suddenly, he found that Lao Huang's voice had stopped. He turned around and saw that he had fallen asleep on the table.

Gu Jingzhi shook his head and continued writing!
