Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong listened quietly, Gao Yu is a winner in life. If it is a matter of being well-informed, among the three people here, the most senior is the highest; In terms of life experience, it is also the most high; If it is an official qualification, it is still a high level.

If Gao Yu hadn't taken the wrong path, if he had seriously gone to the country and the people and shared the emperor's worries, then his ending would not have been like this. This is the path he decides for himself, and if he goes down, he will have to bear the consequences. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and if you eat it, you have to vomit it.

Gao Yu, Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong talked about tea and the principles of life, more like an old friend who had not seen each other for many years, as if they had forgotten the New Year's Friend, and told the two of them about the things in their hearts one by one.

"Dreams are dreams after all, and there is still a big gap between them and reality. When you embark on this path, you should have thought about the consequences. Zhao Gou tasted tea again and said lightly: "Life is like tea, first bitter and then sweet, and finally plain as water." ”

Gao Yu smiled slightly: "The consequences have been known many years ago, and sooner or later there will be a day." However, there are so many involvements and responsibilities behind me that it is difficult to explain. I wanted to get out as soon as possible, but in the end, what I did was in vain. ”

"Now that the two of you have come to the house, you have the evidence. I knew I would have such a day, and I had already arranged for the aftermath. If there is anything else you don't know, I can also tell it all together, and I don't have to hide my head and tail. ”

Zhao Yougong glanced at the Taiwei Mansion and wondered: "Since you are powerful and have countless wealth, why don't you decorate the mansion magnificently like the previous ones?" ”

"I was originally a small citizen in the market, but I had to do it in desperation for the sake of life!" Gao Yu said lightly, "This mansion is a reward from the emperor, and it is also the place I dreamed of when I was a child, so I chose this place, there is no other mansion, only this one is enough!" ”

Zhao Gou thought so, he had tracked down Gao Yu for more than a year, if it weren't for Gao Yao's affairs, I am afraid it would be difficult to find his flaws. Taking this as an entrance, a little bit of investigation shows that there are many things related to Gao Yu.

If other people are corrupt and bribery, Gao Yu is the real person behind the scenes, he does not have any mansion under his name, only this Taiwei Mansion. As for the fields, there are many fields, but there have never been other mansions. Because of this, Zhao Gou understood that what Gao Yu said was true.

"It's a little shabby, but it's a constant reminder of where I'm from." Gao Yu sighed, "However, there are some things that you can't help yourself, and if you are in a high position, how can there be any reason not to touch meat." One wrong step, one wrong step, and finally it is difficult to extricate oneself, and there is no way to retreat, but to continue walking. ”

"Since the first time I tasted the sweetness, at that moment I felt that I had a fortune, and I had ten thousand taels of silver, which was more than several times my money. As the official gets bigger and bigger, those 10,000 taels of silver can no longer enter my eyes, at least 100,000 taels start, and my appetite is getting bigger and bigger. ”

"Looking at the white silver taels, gold and silver jewelry, etc., I was not as happy as I imagined, because I didn't know when I would be in a different place. In order to live for a few more years, you must be rigorous and leaky. In addition, they have to do everything they can to cover up their crimes. ”

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided!"

Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong looked at each other, and the two of them felt that today's Gao Yu was different from the Gao Yu who had a lot of intrigues and tricks in the past, and hid a knife in his smile. Moreover, there is a little less flattery and more realism, which makes them a little confused.

"As I rise in office, more and more people come to pay their respects, and they must come for the best tea, and when they leave, the bitter tea will be left to me. Even so, he forgot his true nature and slowly lost himself in power and money. ”

Gao Yu looked at Zhao Gou intently, and praised without pretense: "Your Highness, your words made Wei Chenmao suddenly, and he was awakened by you when he didn't figure it out all along." If I had put it down earlier, it might have been better than anything else, but it's a pity that it's too late to regret everything! ”

Zhao Gou replied: "Lord Taiwei praised it falsely! ”

Gao Yu shook his head and said solemnly: "If the Great Song Dynasty is in charge of you in the future, there may be a different result." It's a pity that I can't see the pomp and circumstance at that time. Since you became an official in the court, I have never underestimated your ability. ”

"What neither the Holy Beings nor anyone else can do, you have done it, and you have done it well. At that moment, I knew that you were the person who needed the most scruples in the court. Sure enough, it's only a matter of a few years since you've gone from fledgling to full, and you've made it there. ”

"When I was your age, I never thought about serving the country loyally, all I thought about was life. If you had been born twenty years earlier, perhaps I would have chosen to be loyal to you. ”

Zhao Gou was silent, he didn't know how to answer this. After all, there is a lot of regret in Gao Yu's words, and that regret is not that he was caught, but that he never found himself. In addition, Gao Yu's words also revealed his disappointment with the crown prince Zhao Huan.

Gao Yu once advised the prince to be careful of Zhao Gou, but Zhao Huan disagreed, thinking that most of the adults in the court were his people, and he was not afraid of Zhao Gou. Now that Zhao Gou is full-fledged, he can't shake it at all, and his position in the court is unbreakable.

Gao Yu had already guessed that the final result was that Zhao Gou won and Zhao Huan lost.

"Do you feel like I'm a little different from what I usually do?" Gao Yu saw the expressions of Zhao Gou and the others, and said straight to the point: "Because His Royal Highness let me know the essence of being an official, the prodigal son will not change his money, as long as you are wrong in the court, you will be wrong for the rest of your life, you can't turn back, start over, and if you lose this opportunity, it will be a catastrophe." ”

Suddenly, Zhao Gou admired Gao Yu a little.

Gao Yu is not afraid of death, faces it calmly, and does not beg for himself to live, even if it is death, he must die with dignity. No one can decide whether he will stay or not, only he is qualified to do so. Even the emperor can't do it, because this is Gao Yu.

If it weren't for the truth that Zhao Gou said over the years, which made him wake up, even so, he still didn't choose to confess and be lenient. It's not that he can't pull down, but Gao Yu knows that he will die. Even if he begged for mercy, he might not survive, because his greedy silver feet were tens of millions, and the amount was too huge.

Since Zhao Gou has taken action, he has a harvest, and this harvest is his own head. Gao Yu knew everything, but he didn't avoid it, but accepted it gladly. At this moment, Gao Yu's image is very different from that in history.

Next, Gao Yu talked to them for a while and then got up. He knew that his day had come, so he didn't delay Zhao Gou's time, and walked out of the mansion frankly. He was greeted by the forbidden army with a big sword, and when everyone saw Gao Yu come out, they were slightly stunned, and then stepped forward to capture him.

Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong arrived later, they did not fall into the well, gave Gao Yu enough respect, let him not wear shackles, etc., but let him leave like this.
