Gu Yan's eyes widened as he said, "Aren't the imperial advisers amazing? My brother-in-law is the most powerful!"
Marquis Gu chuckled, "If he's so powerful, then why hasn't he made it into the imperial advisors?"
Gu Yan said huffily, "My brother-in-law... he just... doesn't want to go! Otherwise, not to mention the imperial advisors, even the Jinluan Hall would be accessible to him whenever he wishes!"
Oh boy, this kid is really full of hot air.
Does he even know what the imperial advisors are, or what the Jinluan Hall is?
In Zhan Country, only officials of the fifth rank or higher qualify to be presented to the Emperor, but that doesn't guarantee an audience, even for someone with his esteemed position. Take him for example, as a prominent official in the Ministry of Works, he hardly ever attends court.
"He thinks he can just go if he wants? Who do you think he is?"
