Hope for luck

Chapter 453
Lu Wang was originally worried that Gao Pan deliberately bullied Tian Mixiang, but he did not expect that Gao Pan had prepared for it, and deliberately left a big hole for others.

Seeing this, King Lu sighed to Wang Yitan in the case of Hu Ke, who is not good to choose for impeachment, but Gao Pan?

Didn't he know Jiang Chong before?

But Gao Pan acted like a normal person, and continued:

"Your Highness, right now the old party seems to be planning to tamper with the summer grain in Dantang County. While preparing to completely step down, it will also deal a fatal blow to the New Deal!"

When Lu Wang heard this, he put away his original smile and hurriedly asked what was going on.

Gao Pan replied with a relaxed face:

"Don't worry, Your Highness, this is actually just my inference. I haven't seen how they prepared it yet. However, I estimate that there is an eighty to ninety percent chance..."

"The most important thing is that as soon as I took office, they handed over the important task of checking the summer grain in Dantang County to Chen, so I have to doubt their motives!"

King Lu immediately understood what he heard:
"You mean, there may be problems with these summer grains? Then, they will put all the charges on you?"

Gao Pan then nodded:

"Your Highness is smart, that's exactly the case. If the summer grains have been reduced a lot since they were brought back to the capital, then they have enough reason to suspect that the summer grains in Dantang County are fake!"

"Either way, the minister was greedy for ink during the investigation. In this case, no matter what the minister does, he will be beheaded."

Hearing this, King Lu was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses after a while, and said with a serious expression:
"If you are beheaded, they have a reason to attack the New Deal, saying that the New Deal is exaggerated, and there is no such taxation, right?"

Gao Pan nodded again:
"Very likely. However, I feel that this reason is only one of them. They can say that this incident is completely an illusion created by the New Party to cover up some major problems exposed by the New Deal!"

These words made Lu Wang stunned again, and after a while, he suddenly looked at Gao Pan:

"Gao Pan, what's your solution? The effectiveness of the new policy is obvious to all. This king feels that the new policy must be implemented, otherwise, the country will fail."

Seeing that King Lu raised the New Deal to such a high level, Gao Pan couldn't help but comfort him:

"Your Highness is serious. The New Deal is not as important as what Your Highness said. I have always believed that a good policy requires good people to implement it. If the people below are rotten, no matter how good the policy is, it will become useless. none…"

"As for the way to deal with it, I have already thought about it. Since I have noticed their thoughts, I will definitely not sit still. Your Highness will just watch."

After hearing this, King Lu felt relieved, but he still believed that Gao Pan should not be careless. He Canlian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, does not seem to be a person who supports the New Deal, although he did not publicly say that he does not support the New Deal.

Gao Pan expressed his position, reassuring Lu Wang that this matter is related to his wealth and life, and he will definitely try his best to protect it, and it is impossible for them to succeed.

Seeing this, Lu Wang was completely relieved, he saw Gao Pan's growth.

From the first time Dong Pingzhang told him, Lu Wang was full of curiosity about Gao Pan. Later, at the winter solstice party, Lu Wang saw Gao Pan for the first time, and he had enough affection for Gao Pan.

Later, a series of incidents, especially the proposed new policy, made Lu Wang have a deep sense of trust in Gao Pan.

Now that Gao Pan said that he was enough to deal with it, King Lu didn't worry too much.

"Your Highness, there is another situation that I need to inform you..."

Seeing that King Lu was relieved, Gao Pan also took a long breath and said softly, but King Lu raised his hand and let Gao Pan just say it.

"It's like this. Elder Dong told me that on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, he was invited by Prince Gong to be a guest at the palace. Your Highness, this matter must be guarded against!"

After hearing this, King Lu replied solemnly:

"Well, Dong Xiang has mentioned this matter to the king, and the king also thinks that Dong Xiang is too reckless and should not go to the banquet. If he displeases the emperor, the gain will outweigh the loss."

Upon hearing this, Gao Pan hastily explained:

"Your Highness, what I want to talk about is not this, but Prince Gong's ambition. Think about it, Your Highness, why did Prince Gong invite Mr. Dong as a guest on the Dragon Boat Festival?"

King Lu frowned when he heard the words, as if he didn't understand what Gao Pan meant.

Seeing this, Gao Pan went on to say:

"Your Highness, I speculate that people from the old party found Prince Gong and deliberately asked Prince Gong to entertain Mr. Dong. In this way, the emperor may be displeased..."

"Besides, what I am most worried about is Prince Gong's thoughts. Now that the old party is powerful, they are strongly opposed to the new policy. Your Highness should know what happened more than ten years ago, right?"

Gao Pan didn't speak clearly, but Lu Wang had already heard the meaning behind the words.

If Prince Gong hooks up with the old party, maybe Prince Gong's ambitions will skyrocket again after he has been keeping a low profile for more than ten years. Are you planning to have another 'palace change'?

Last time, he initiated it on his own initiative and failed without the support of most courtiers.

This time, the old party represented the interests of all gentry officials in the world. If it was because of the New Deal, it would not be impossible for the old party to elect Prince Gong to the throne!

Thinking of this, King Lu's heart also became turbulent. He originally thought that the New Deal was thriving and the New Party had firmly gained the upper hand.

But after listening to Gao Pan's analysis, Lu Wang felt that the crisis was serious at the moment.

Whether it is Prince Gong or the old party, they seem to be waiting for the right opportunity to counterattack!

After a long time, Lu Wang calmed down a little, looked at Gao Pan and said:

"Gao Pan, this is just your speculation, right? Even if the old party is dissatisfied with the father and wants to change the emperor, it cannot be Prince Gong."

After Gao Pan listened, he replied seriously:
"Your Highness, judging from the situation before the sixteenth year, Prince Gong was the most likely to ascend the throne, but he failed to wait for the imperial decree..."

"Now, in the eyes of the old party, the emperor is a supporter of the new policy, so his descendants will naturally not be the target of the old party, and Prince Gong is exactly what everyone expects!"

These words made King Lu unable to sit still, he immediately stood up from his seat and looked at Gao Pan in horror.

Immediately, Lu Wang, who was full of anxiety, walked up and down in the living room like ants on a hot pot.

Seeing this, Gao Pan hastily persuaded:
"Your Highness, don't worry, although this matter is almost inseparable, but now that we know about it, taking precautions will not only eliminate hidden dangers, but also allow the New Deal to gain more people's support..."

These words made Lu Wang stop immediately, and after thinking for a while, he turned around and looked at Gao Pan with surprise on his face:

"Wonderful! As the saying goes, good and bad depend on each other. If the old party insists on going its own way, it can just take this opportunity to eradicate some..."

As he said that, King Lu dragged his chin again, looked at Gao Pan suspiciously and said:
"Isn't it too cruel to do this?"
