Chapter 421 How could she be misdirected by the broom star!
Sun Caiwei herself came from an official family, and she knew that there would be no fish in the clearest water. However, she was a boudoir girl after all, and this was the second time she had come into contact with the dark corner of the officialdom.
The first time was when the Sun family presented jewelry to Gu Yujin because of Zhao Chuan's affairs.
Compared with what the Sun family gave Gu Yu before, it can be said to be shabby.
There have always been favor exchanges between Zhenguo Gongfu, but to accept so many at once...
Sun Caiwei felt the heavy money in her hand was hot and said, "Husband, this is too much."
Gu Yu looked at Sun Caiwei and said, "Do you know what rank the young minister of Guanglu Temple is?"
Sun Caiwei replied: "Fourth grade."
Gu Yudao: "Where is the Minister of Rites?"
Sun Caiwei's expression changed again and she said: "Second grade."
Gu Yudao: "One level is two levels, do you still think this is a lot of money?"
Sun Caiwei was flustered. Could it be that her husband had already reached this point?
From the fourth level to the second level, just pull it up.
Gu Yu seemed to understand her thoughts and said: "I don't have the ability to help him up, but I have the ability to drag down the current Minister of Rites."
At the last court meeting last year, she used some tricks to make the current Minister of Rites, Mr. Zhong, the leader, and asked the ninth prince to be crown prince.
Now Gu Yu has received the news that Shao Wuji is leading people from the Internal Security Department to collect evidence of the Xu family.
In a few days, the Xu family will fall.
Not only the Xu family, but also the people of the Ninth Prince Faction are having a difficult time this year.
It is not difficult for Gu Yu to push Lord Zhong from his position.
Gu Yu comforted Sun Caiwei: "You don't have to worry too much. I'm just a favor, taking other people's money and doing other people's things."
Sun Caiwei seemed to understand Gu Yu's purpose of asking her to accompany Mr. Lin and his wife, and there would only be more such things in the future.
Maybe, even this money is just an appetizer.
Sun Caiwei felt a little pain in her heart. She believed that Gu Yu was not the kind of person who would be unkind as an official, but such a thing was still too big for her.
Gu Yudao: "There are countless people who come to the Duke's Mansion every day to give gifts. Do you know why I only received Lin Lecheng?"
Sun Caiwei shook her head. Just as Gu Yu said, the money seemed a lot, but from the fourth grade to the second grade, it seemed not so exaggerated.
She believed that under this attractive promotion condition, there would definitely be many people who could give more generous gifts than Lin Lecheng's.
Gu Yudao: "First of all, Lin Lecheng has served as the young minister of Guanglu Temple for so many years without making any great achievements, but he has not made any mistakes. The Ministry of Rites is a yamen that does not seek merit, but seeks no faults.
Secondly, he came to me after being recommended by others. Knowing that I have the confidence to accept gifts is enough to show that he has everything he needs.
Thirdly, Guanglu Temple is in charge of sacrifices, banquets, palace meals and other matters, which are closely related to the Ministry of Rites. If he takes office, he will definitely be like a fish in water."
Sun Caiwei nodded as if she understood.
Gu Yudao: "He takes bribes because of his talents, but I accept bribes because of my talents."
I don't know why, even though he was clearly accepting bribes, when my husband did it, he seemed glorious and righteous.
Gu Yudao: "I don't like the twists and turns of this kind of officialdom either, but before I have the ability to change the status quo, I can only temporarily comply with the rules and let the rules belong to me. Just like you."
Sun Caiwei pointed at herself and asked doubtfully: "Me?"
Gu Yudao: "You don't like men having groups of wives and concubines, and women can only abide by chastity. But didn't you still use a trick to marry me as a concubine? Because you know that you can't change the status quo, but becoming my concubine is the best thing you can do.
Good choice.”
Sun Caiwei looked at Gu Yu and found that she did not blame Gong Yan for plotting against her.
I understood what Gu Yu meant.
Nowadays, Gu Yu has no way to clean up the officialdom, so he can only use this shady method to pull capable people into the right positions and cultivate power at the same time.
Sun Caiwei let go of the veil and said, "I understand."
Gu Yudao: "There will only be more of this kind of thing in the future, and you will need to be responsible for it. Can you do it well?"
Sun Caiwei frowned and said, "I, I don't know."
Sun Caiwei's heart was beating very fast.
Gu Yu patted her shoulder and said, "Then let's give it a try."
Gu Yu didn't know how big Sun Caiwei's potential was, and neither did she.
But she was willing to give it a try, which made Gu Yu relieved.
She did look down on Sun Caiwei in the past.
Gu Yu handed her the token from the Zhenguo Duke's warehouse and said, "The warehouse is left to you, don't let me down."
Sun Caiwei held the token and felt it weighed a thousand pounds.
The husband and wife actually trusted her so much.
She held the token tightly. In this case, she must work hard to do her best and try to catch up with her husband and his wife!
Gu Yu didn't know Sun Caiwei's secret determination and walked out of the hall by herself.
The snow is falling a little less.
Gu Yu sighed slightly.
Her backyard is really weird.
A little fairy who only knows how to eat and sleep every day, and when she sleeps she eats and messes around.
A female poet who was dragged into the quagmire of officialdom by her.
A goddess teaches a goddess.
There is also a free restaurant piano girl who is responsible for delivering messages to her mistress.
Bah bah bah.
Gu Yu's expression was distorted for a moment.
Why was she led astray by the broom star!
----------------------------------------
Two days later, news came from the palace that the imperial concubine was in good health under the care of the imperial doctor.
Gu Yu knew that this was just her sister's word to comfort the Gu family when she heard that her mother was sick.
Gu Yu brought the news to her mother, and the old lady knew it well.
She had a sick look on her face, and there was a strong smell of medicine in the room, but looking at Gu Yu's worried face, she still managed to hold on and said, "You don't have to worry, I will take good care of myself for the sake of the Gu family."
At this time, Pingsha trotted over and said: "Young Master, Lieutenant Shao has led a group of people to the Xu family."
A fierce look flashed in Gu Yu's eyes.
Shao Wuji's movements were faster than she expected.
The old lady said: "I'm still seriously ill. Go and have a look. The Xu family has repeatedly attacked your sister and you. You deserve this."
Gu Yu told Pingsha: "Prepare the carriage."
Then Gu Yu said: "Mother, everything will be fine. Anyone who owes anything to the Gu family will be repaid a hundred times."
The old lady nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, my child."
Gu Yudao: "Mom, rest in peace and recuperate. When I come back, I will tell her the specific situation."
After coming out of his mother's yard, Pingsha had already prepared the carriage and was about to rush to Xu's house when Li Ruo came over in a hurry and whispered to Gu Yu.
Gu Yu narrowed his eyes and ordered Pingsha: "Gather the Gu family army and follow me."
