Chapter 99: The Situation
Unexpectedly, Official Li acted as if he didn't care at all.
"For me, whether I can go back or not is no longer important."
Official Li then left.
Looking in the direction where Official Li had left, the Prime Minister shook his head.
"Hey."
Back in the day, the relationship between the Prime Minister and this official Li was also...
In the end, it was only because of the Grand Tutor that his relationship with the official Li became estranged.
The thought of this filled the Grand Tutor and Prime Minister with a sense of disgust.
It wasn't that I disliked the Grand Tutor, but rather his son.
His own daughter had always spoken up for the Grand Tutor's son.
His daughter will surely marry into royalty in the future.
Even if I can't marry a king, I should at least marry a prince.
Or perhaps it refers to capable people in the current dynasty.
Only in this way can we help the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Only the Prime Minister's office can establish a firm foothold in the imperial court.
Otherwise, it's nothing.
Gan Luo stayed in the princess's residence, lost in thought.
What will these officials do next?
After all, Gan Luo had caused a scene in the court a few days ago.
These officials are probably thinking of ways to get things done again.
They wanted to deal with Gan Luo.
"By the way, Your Highness's scouts reported today that the Grand Tutor went to see Official Li."
After the Grand Tutor met with Official Li, Gan Luo sent someone to investigate the relationship between the Grand Tutor and Official Li.
"Your Highness, why haven't the officials here left the capital yet? His Majesty has already sent Official Li back to his hometown."
Yuan Zheng had already arrived in front of Gan Luo.
"Your Highness, you may not know this, but this official Li is now terminally ill."
Gan Luo was somewhat surprised to hear the words "the disease is terminal."
"He was perfectly fine when I saw him just a few days ago. How could he suddenly be like this now..."
"I am unaware of this matter either."
However, it is true that this official, Li, is already terminally ill and has only a few days left to live.
Could it be because he was angered by Gan Luo?
"Never mind, it has nothing to do with me."
Today, the official here serves as the Minister of Rites.
The next step is for Gan Yanling to properly select a new official to take up the post.
We can't let this position remain vacant.
Looking around, Gan Luo did have a candidate in mind, and that person was Shangguan Nantian.
Gan Luo felt that Shangguan Nantian's abilities in all aspects were far superior to those of other officials.
If Shangguan Nantian were appointed Minister of Rites, he would surely be able to handle all matters well.
Finally, Gan Luo personally went to the palace.
The purpose of going to the palace was simple: to inform the emperor of this matter.
Gan Yanling is considering who should replace Official Li.
Just then, I heard that Gan Luo had come to the palace.
Gan Yanling hurriedly came to see Gan Luo.
"My elder sister is waiting for her to come to the palace in person when she has time."
"Your Majesty, I know you are troubled by the selection of a successor. I have someone recommending someone, and I wonder if Your Majesty would be willing to listen to my suggestion."
"You said there is someone to choose from, then may Your Majesty tell me who Your Majesty has chosen?"
Gan Luo told Gan Yanling without hesitation that the man's name was Shangguan Nantian.
I heard the name Shangguan Nantian.
Gan Yanling pondered deeply, realizing that this matter required careful consideration.
Thinking carefully about Shangguan Nantian's character and conduct, he seemed to be much better than Li Guanren. He could do just as well in such a position.
However, so many people in the imperial court were targeting Shangguan Nantian.
Is it really possible for Shangguan Nantian to survive unscathed in the imperial court?
When the court officials learned of this, Gan Luo personally went to Gan Yanling.
They all understood the importance of being prepared.
They were all extremely worried, wondering what kind of trouble Gan Luo was planning to cause this time.
After making several inquiries, they learned that Gan Luo intended to promote Shangguan Nantian to the position of Minister of Rites to replace Li Guan.
"Shangguan Nantian has a lowly status, yet he has become the Minister of Rites... How can I possibly accept that?"
He had served as an official in the court for many years, and his insight and strength far surpassed those of Shangguan Nantian.
Gan Luo's desire to promote Shangguan Nantian to the position of Minister of Rites is clearly an open abuse of his personal power.
"I would never agree to this."
"Prime Minister, are you not going to do anything about this now?"
Some people even invited the Grand Tutor directly.
"Grand Tutor, as His Majesty's tutor, are you not worried about His Majesty now?"
Faced with this person's repeated questions, the Grand Tutor looked completely bewildered.
The Grand Tutor had no idea what the official was thinking.
After learning the whole story, the Grand Tutor suddenly understood.
"Rest assured, everyone, I will have a proper talk with His Majesty."
I received the following answer.
Everyone smiled contentedly.
"Alright, Grand Tutor, I'll leave this matter to you."
For some reason, the Grand Tutor suddenly felt like he had been tricked.
The Grand Tutor happened to arrive at the palace, only to find Gan Yanling and Gan Luo still discussing matters in the main hall.
When Gan Luo saw Gan Yanling, although he didn't really want to see it, he still had to put on a good show, right?
"I was discussing some matters with His Majesty and the other person. I wonder if the Grand Tutor has come to visit us for something?"
Upon hearing this, the Grand Tutor looked at Gan Luo with a cold expression.
The idea that beautiful women can bring disaster should never exist.
Gan Luo used mind-reading ability to read the Grand Tutor's thoughts.
It's funny to think that I fell down like that.
She reluctantly accepted that the Grand Tutor was praising her as a femme fatale.
"Since Your Majesty and Her Highness the Princess are discussing this, then I shall take my leave."
He then bowed and left.
Gan Yanling didn't say much throughout the entire process.
Gan Yanling never expected that the Grand Tutor would leave like this.
"I only offered some suggestions to Your Majesty. How Your Majesty chooses to act is up to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor raised his head and looked at Gan Luo.
"Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness."
"There's no need to thank me here; it's all I should do."
After Gan Luo left, he unexpectedly saw the Grand Tutor again at the palace gate.
I thought the Grand Tutor had left, but it turns out he hadn't left at all.
Gan Luo had no idea why the Grand Tutor wasn't leaving.
I wonder what the purpose of the Grand Tutor's stay here is.
But Gan Luo didn't want to pay any attention to it.
The Grand Tutor saw Gan Luo and naturally hid.
Gan Luo pretended that he hadn't seen the Grand Tutor.
The Grand Tutor then came out after Gan Luo left.
He went to see the emperor again.
Gan Yanling had just seen Gan Luo off when Gan Luo arrived.
"Grand Tutor, you look rushed. Is something the matter?"
"Your Majesty may not know this, but I have something I wish to tell you."
Afterwards, he analyzed the current situation with Gan Yanling.
