Chapter 256: Further Inquiry
After several inquiries, Gan Yanling finally understood Gan Luo's meaning. Regarding this matter, Gan Yanling was at a loss for words and didn't know how to answer Gan Luo at that moment.
"Regarding this matter, I haven't actually chosen anyone yet."
In the end, Gan Luo said that he would personally go to Jiangnan. When Gan Yanling heard this, he was shocked for a moment. He thought that this must be a joke. He never thought that Gan Luo would actually go to Jiangnan.
"Your Majesty, are you serious? Are you sure you're really going to the south of the Yangtze River and not just joking with me? Do you know that this trip to the south of the Yangtze River will take a month, and more importantly, the journey is very long and tiring."
Gan Yanling looked at Gan Luo in disbelief and asked, "Is this for real?" Gan Luo told Gan Yanling that it was indeed for real.
"My mind is made up, and I hope you can understand my thoughts now. There is one more thing I hope you can understand: if the officials in the court were to leave now, I think the common people would definitely have many complaints."
However, if Gan Luo were to go now, the outcome would be different. He would certainly be flattered and fawned over by everyone. At this moment, Gan Yanling told Gan Luo, "If it weren't for these trivial matters in the court, I would go in person."
Gan Luo told Gan Yanling, "No matter what happens, you still have your elder sister. After all, you are related by blood. Your elder sister would never harm you. I hope you will not listen to those treacherous officials and their slanderous words."
For some reason, Gan Yanling felt that Gan Luo seemed to know something. At this moment, Gan Yanling had a bad feeling and couldn't help but take a few steps back. There were fine beads of sweat on Gan Yanling's forehead and a trace of panic in his heart.
Gan Luo naturally knew what Gan Yanling was thinking. I wonder what would happen if Gan Yanling knew that Gan Luo had this mind-reading ability?
I don't know why, but for a moment I felt a sense of anticipation.
However, Gan Luo is unlikely to tell Gan Yanling about this matter for the time being, because if such a thing were to be revealed, it could very likely lead to…
The officials in the court probably all think that Gan Luo is a scourge to the country and the people. What if they think Gan Luo is a monster?
"Now that Your Majesty is here and is planning to travel to Jiangnan, I grant your permission and wish you a safe journey."
When the civil and military officials in the court learned of this, they all hurriedly knelt outside the door of the Imperial Study.
"Your Majesty, you must think carefully about this matter before you act. You cannot act arbitrarily. You absolutely cannot let the princess go to Jiangnan, otherwise, how will they view us?"
To be honest, none of them really expected that Gan Yanling would send Gan Luo to Jiangnan. If Gan Luo went to Jiangnan and became a star, Gan Yanling's official position would be in jeopardy. Why didn't these people understand?
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. But no matter how frustrated he was, these things had already happened.
At this moment, the Grand Tutor was kowtowing the whole time. Gan Yanling finally appeared in front of them and saw that they were all kowtowing.
Gan Yanling felt a headache coming on and just hoped they could go back quickly. Unexpectedly, this group of people had no intention of going back at all. Instead, they questioned Gan Yanling. In the end, Gan Yanling had no choice but to tell them the truth.
"Actually, I have thought about this matter for a long time, but as far as I am concerned, I think it is not unreasonable to send my elder sister to Jiangnan. Besides, she is my sister, isn't she?"
Afterwards, they had all talked a lot, and at this point, Gan Yanling told them to trust Gan Luo. However, these officials seemed to be deeply entrenched in their beliefs, and none of them were willing to believe Gan Luo at all.
They left the place and went to a restaurant, where they began to chat. "I think this king is simply outrageous. I never imagined he would do such things; it really makes me feel a little..."
These were the words of the Grand Tutor. The Grand Tutor was furious. He never expected that Lin Fengmian would be here, stubbornly going his own way and refusing to listen to any of the ministers. He had thought Lin Fengmian would listen, but in the end, he found that he wouldn't at all.
“I think we can find a new ruler here. In other words, once we find this new ruler, we must find a way to remove Lin Fengmian from power, and thus…”
As a result, many people rejected his idea, and some even criticized him.
"I think your idea of resigning is unacceptable. If Gan Yanling knew about these thoughts, he would probably take your head right now. Besides, Gan Yanling's bloodline is very pure."
They would never change the ruler; they had to make Gan Yanling obey them, that is, follow their wishes. After all, they genuinely hoped that the fruit could develop better and better, instead of falling behind.
Some officials had already gone directly to find General Su, who was training his troops there at the time. He was surprised to see officials from the court arrive and was momentarily puzzled.
"It's quite surprising that you all have time to visit me. After all, you would never have come here before. But since you're here, just say what's the matter."
These people have told General Su everything without any hesitation, asking him whether he would stand with Gan Luo or with them if that day really came.
Unexpectedly, this general of the National Protection Army told them directly that they must all be standing by Gan Luo's side.
The officials around him were certainly quite angry when they heard what General Su said. None of them had ever imagined that these National Protection Army soldiers would only obey Gan Luo.
None of them had ever imagined that these people would be so loyal to Gan Luo.
