Question

What circumstances prompted Gulliver to resolve not to put his trust in princes and ministers? 

Answer 1

The Lilliputian ministers turn out to be very scheming, the kind of meanness that Gulliver never anticipated. One of the ministers from the neighbouring country Blesfuscu, who Gulliver had once helped, comes to him and secretly revealsthat a few ministers, Bogolam, Flimnap, Limnoc, Lalcom and Balmuff, were plotting against him, and had submitted a copy of a list of crimes supposedly committed by Gulliver, before the emperor. The Emperor wanted to view it liniently, but there was resistance ffrom the council, who also wanted to poison Gulliver, and set his house on fire, and he was put to several restrictions, like, his ration be reduced, he be blinded and his corpse would be too big for disposal, so it would be chopped into small pieces, and then buried. All thesenews jolted Gulliver, and he decided to flee off from Broabdingnag and resolved never to put his trust in princes and ministers.

Answer 2

Gulliver resolved not to trust the princess and the ministers because his ingenuity, his opposition to the Lilliputian King to destroy Blefuscu and his own principles stood firmly to perceive the anti-Gulliver wave amongst the ministers who were jealous of him and wanted him dead. His perception was further verified when Redressal informed him about the conspiracy being hatched against him and the charges he was accused of. Gulliver, therefore, planned to go to Blefuscu for which he already had the permission of the Lilliputian king. So, he was able to get an escape route from Lilliput. Moreover, earlier Gulliver described how the selection of ministers was based on their skill at rope-walking and not any administrative abilities speaks indicates a clear understanding about their inefficiency. It was but natural that they didn't want Gulliver to help the kind in administrative matters. 

Similarly, the queen was also offended ever since Gulliver urinated to put off the fire in her palace and wanted to avenge on him.
