Chapter 460
"Gao Qing, your plan is really cruel!"
"Once it is launched, the greedy merchants in the world will surely move one after another. When all the people of Zhao State join in, it will be a terrible disaster!"
"There will be blood and rain in Zhao State, and the people will suffer! I feel it is cruel and against the will of heaven, and I feel happy!"
Wu Zhao stared at Gao Yang, and then the voice sounded.
Gao Feng couldn't help but look at Gao Yang, his eyelids twitching.
His son is really extraordinary. He is cruel and inhumane, but he is still very filial and knows to buy him two oranges. He is filial, but he can speak such a cruel and vicious plan so calmly!
Gao Yang looked calm, and bowed to Wu Zhao, saying, "Since Your Majesty likes it, I will go down and prepare it."
"Within two days, the price of Zhao Gao will surely rise rapidly, and this evil plan to destroy the State of Zhao will officially begin."
After saying that, Gao Yang wanted to slip away.
But Wu Zhao suddenly said, "Gao Qing, wait a minute, I have something else to discuss with you."
Gao Yang paused, and then stared at Wu Zhao with curiosity.
Wu Zhao said lightly, "Xu Xiang colluded with Da Chu and secretly smuggled my Daqian weapons and armor. His crime is unforgivable, and the position of prime minister is left vacant!"
"But the prime minister, who serves the emperor above and controls the civil and military officials below, is second to none and plays an indescribable role in the country!"
"So, I plan to determine the candidate for the position of prime minister!"
As soon as these words came out, Gao Yang's eyes lit up instantly.
"Prime Minister?"
He had been eyeing this position for a long time. The Prime Minister is the head of all officials and controls all officials. He is extremely powerful and the first person under the imperial power!
Even some powerful ministers are praised as Prime Ministers. Although the Prime Minister and Prime Minister are only one word apart, their meanings are very different!
The latter can even depose the emperor!
As soon as Xu Xiang fell, he felt a little itchy. This was a huge transformation just from the perspective of identity!
Gao Feng was also shocked. He stared at Gao Yang with a pair of eyes. There was a storm in his heart, which was a little unbelievable.
What does your majesty mean by this?
Is it to appoint this evil son as Prime Minister to supervise all officials?
Gao Yang has just been crowned not long ago. Isn't the speed of his promotion too scary?
Gao Feng felt very complicated. He was proud, but also felt a sense of defeat that his father was not as good as his son. He even felt even more strange when he thought that in front of all the officials, he did not call him Lord Gao, but Prime Minister Gao.
"Your Majesty is right!"
"Without the Prime Minister, Your Majesty's pressure is too great. You must find a capable minister to share some of the burden, otherwise I will feel distressed when I see it!"
Gao Yang said with a righteous face, staring at Wu Zhao.
Wu Zhao also smiled, and her slender fingers slowly tapped on the armrests of the dragon chair.
Compared to some ministers who clearly wanted but were very humble, she preferred Gao Yang's straightforward temperament.
There was no distracting thought in these eyes, only desire.
"I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Wu Zhao said slowly, with a hint of teasing in her phoenix eyes.
As soon as these words came out, Gao Yang's mouth twitched, and a bad feeling flashed through his heart.
"Can I only hear the good news?" Gao Yang whispered, with a flattering smile on his face. "No!" Wu Zhao refused very straightforwardly. "Then I will hear the good news first. What is the good news?" Gao Yang took a deep breath and prepared himself mentally. "The good news is that I have already determined the candidate for prime minister. Gao Qing has made great contributions to the country and has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements. I regard Gao Qing as my right-hand man, so I want to make Gao Qing the prime minister to assist me in creating unprecedented achievements!" Wu Zhao's voice rose, with a domineering tone. But Gao Yang was not happy at all, on the contrary, he was a little nervous. "What about the bad news?"
"The bad news is that according to our Daqian ancestral precepts, all Daqian ministers must understand the sufferings of the people and be loved by the people. Gao Qing has lived in Chang'an since he was a child and has never been to the countryside. His reputation is still very bad. Although I have not yet revealed the direction of the wind, all officials have submitted reports. In just half a month, I have received no less than a hundred impeachments, and the wording is extremely fierce!"
Gao Yang's mouth twitched, and he was directly angry.
"Your Majesty, slander!"
"Naked slander!"
"Your Majesty is a contemporary hero, how can you be deceived by those treacherous ministers? If Your Majesty is not easy to deal with, then give me the list, and I will visit them one by one to eliminate the misunderstandings!"
Wu Zhao's mouth twitched.
Gao Feng immediately reprimanded, "You evil son, do not speak nonsense in front of His Majesty!"
Wu Zhao also said, "Give up on this list, Mr. Gao."
"I rule the world with filial piety, and I am the role model for the world. If I openly defy the ancestral teachings, the people will surely follow suit, which is not good for Daqian!"Gao Yang asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, what do you think I should do?"
Wu Zhao smiled when she heard this.
Then, she took dozens of memorials from the side and said to Gao Yang, "Since I implemented the internal circulation system and the end-of-line elimination system, and ordered people to go to all counties and prefectures in the world, the news I got was shocking!"
"Officials in the world are of varying quality, and officialdom is full of malpractices. Officials in various places are inactive and shirking responsibilities. Although I have formed the Imperial Censorate, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Western Factory to monitor the world, they have no prestige!"
"So I need an important minister to show my determination and make a good start!"
As she spoke, Wu Zhao stared at Gao Yang with her eyes.
Gao Yang's mouth twitched, and he discovered Wu Zhao's cunningness.
"So I am the best candidate?"
Wu Zhao smiled unabashedly, "You are full of tricks... no, you have many clever ideas!"
"I don't need you to travel all over the world. Just find a suitable place and kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. You can come back in a few months. This is not against the ancestral teachings, and no one will use this to make a fuss. By then, Gao Qing will be the prime minister, and the resistance will be much smaller!"
"Gao Qing, what do you think?"
Gao Yang poked Wu Zhao's chest fiercely, and then said resignedly, "Your Majesty has made arrangements, and I will do my best!"
"Your Majesty just needs to tell me what I need to do, and I will not let Your Majesty down!"
The smile on Wu Zhao's face became more and more intense.
She also said directly, "I want you to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. In the shortest time, the bigger the better. It's best to make officials all over the world tremble and make the people applaud!"
"Gao Qing, do you have a good idea?"
Wu Zhao said it very directly, almost making the whole thing clear.
Gao Yang also knew that this matter was related to the resistance to his appointment as prime minister. After all, he was promoted too quickly, and many people in the court had complaints, and even many people were eyeing the big fat piece of prime minister's position!
So, this is also related to his vital interests!
He first showed a thoughtful look, and Wu Zhao saw this and did not disturb Gao Yang.
Her slender and bony fingers continued to tap the armrests of the dragon chair, slowly and rhythmically, and her phoenix eyes stared at Gao Yang.
It was about Gao Yang's phase, and she had full confidence in Gao Yang.
Suddenly, Gao Yang raised his head, took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I have a method that can make corrupt officials tremble in fear and make the people applaud!"
"What method?"
Wu Zhao asked curiously.
Shangguan Wan'er and Gao Feng also stared at Gao Yang with curiosity.
These days, it is not easy to make officials tremble in fear and make the people applaud!
Gao Yang stood up straight and said word by word, "Your Majesty, grant me the power to start a political investigation in Daqian!"
