Chapter 275
The next day.
A ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds, covering the entire Chang'an City. The streets of Chang'an were also filled with vitality, and the vendors' cries resounded through the sky.
In the Jinluan Palace.
A voice suddenly resounded through the hall, with grief and indignation.
"In Chang'an City, under the feet of the emperor, this group of assassins dared to openly assassinate the court officials. This is simply too rampant and too arrogant. Anyone can tolerate it, but I can never tolerate it!"
"Your Majesty, Gao Yang, I beg your Majesty to investigate and seek justice for Lord Cui!"
Gao Yang stood in the center of the hall, and his voice resounded through the hall!
After these words, all the officials stared at Gao Yang.
When they learned the news last night, they were also suddenly stunned.
Gao Yang was not assassinated, but Cui Xinghe was assassinated.
They couldn't figure out the reason behind this anyway, it was simply unreasonable.
Cui Xinghe heard this and suddenly looked at Gao Yang.
Gao Yang noticed this look and immediately turned back to assure, "Master Cui, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly for you!"
"Then I would like to thank Master Gao."
Cui Xinghe gritted his teeth and took a deep breath.
He had to say that this guy was simply too shameless!
How did Gao Yang have the nerve to say this?
Why was he assassinated? Didn't Gao Yang have any idea in his mind?
Sure enough, when you feel burdened, there must be some dogs enjoying themselves!
Xu Xuanji's mouth twitched, but he pretended not to know and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think Master Gao is right. This matter is too bad and must be thoroughly investigated!"
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
Gao Feng and Lu Zhen stood up and echoed.
Wu Zhao looked at Gao Yang, who was righteous and awe-inspiring, and closed her eyes first.
But she still said calmly, "Mr. Gao is right. These assassins are indeed lawless and lawless. Where is the Minister of Justice?"
Wang Yifan immediately stood up and said.
"I am here!"
Wu Zhao said indifferently, "Under the feet of the world, in the imperial city, someone openly assassinated the court officials. It is simply too bold. I will give you seven days to catch the real culprit behind the scenes!"
"Yes!"
Wang Yifan's mouth was bitter.
He knew about this last night. After all, this is not a trivial matter. His confidants went to the scene as soon as possible, but the news they brought made him feel cold.
Eighteen assassins, no one survived!
Either they were killed on the spot, or they directly bit the poison pills hidden in their teeth. In short, no one was left alive.
Obviously, this group of assassins were all dead men!
Even if there were survivors, it would be difficult to get them to speak, let alone if there was no survivor left. It would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to investigate!
But Wu Zhao had given the order, so he had no choice but to accept it.
"Withdraw from the court!"
Wu Zhao waved her hand, then stood up and turned around to leave.
Gao Yang and Gao Feng also strode out of the Golden Palace.
As soon as Gao Yang stepped out of the palace door, he walked straight out of the palace with an excited look.
"Evil son, wait for your father!"
"You look like this, your father almost thought there were peerless beauties and countless gold, silver and jewelry waiting for you in the mansion!"
Gao Feng scolded with a stern face.
Gao Yang stopped and looked at Gao Feng seriously and said, "Father, you are right. I am afraid that the eldest prince of Zhao will come to give me beauties and gold and silver jewelry today!"
"Free beauties and gold and silver jewelry, don't miss them!"
"What?"
Gao Feng was jealous when he heard this.
This bastard, first there was the second princess of Chu, and now Zhao is also sending beauties?
Gao Feng immediately scolded with his hands behind his back, "Instead of being ashamed, you are proud of it!"
"Do you really think that the Censorate is just eating dry rice, and do you really think that His Majesty doesn't know! You are making a mistake and losing the bottom line of being an official. Do you want the black gauze hat on your head, the official robe on your body, and the future of being an official?"
"Losing the big for the small, stupid!"
Gao Yang said lightly, "Father, this is wrong. I am corrupting according to the emperor's order!"
As soon as he said this, Gao Feng's face turned green.
He widened his eyes and looked at Gao Yang in disbelief.
Corruption under imperial order, can officials in this world still be like this? ? ?
On the other side, Xu Xuanji looked at Gao Yang's back from afar with a complicated expression.
At this moment, a palace maid came to Xu Xuanji.
"Prime Minister Xu, the Queen Mother summoned you!"
Xu Xuanji's face suddenly changed when he heard this voice.
The harem.
The magnificent palace was full of prosperity.
"Your servant Xu Xuanji, I pay my respects to the Queen Mother!"
Queen Mother Xiao lay lazily on her side on the bed, her two snow-white thighs intertwined and overlapped, exposed in the hall, white, slender, and extremely attractive.
She was wearing a dress embroidered with intricate patterns., her long black hair fell on the brocade pillow like a waterfall. Although her face had some traces of time, she still couldn't hide her former beauty.
Although she didn't move, she was full of charm.
"Why are you so polite, Prime Minister Xu? Get up."
Empress Dowager Xiao said lightly, holding an ancient book in her hand.
Xu Xuanji hurriedly stood up, but he kept his head down and didn't dare to look at her any more.
Because he knew how terrible the woman in front of him was.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
"Do you know why I asked you to come here late at night?" Empress Dowager Xiao put down the ancient book in her hand, looked at Xu Xuanji with a pair of phoenix eyes, and opened her seductive red lips.
Xu Xuanji lowered his head and said nervously, "I don't know."
Empress Dowager Xiao slowly sat up from the bed, and a pair of white and tender jade feet fell on the ground covered with animal skins.
She waved her hand, and the palace maids in the palace retreated one after another.
"Your Majesty has killed Prince Rong and repelled the 100,000-strong army of Da Chu. The people are in high spirits, and most of the Da Qian court is also your Majesty's people. This is not good news for me."
"I have spent countless efforts to support you to become the prime minister of Da Qian, but you have disappointed me a little!"
The voice of Empress Dowager Xiao was very gentle and pleasant, and even made people feel numb.
But these words fell on Xu Xuanji's heart, and made him sweat coldly on his forehead.
"Queen Dowager, I know my crime!"
"But this can't be blamed entirely on me. The empress got the assistance of Gao Yang, and swept through Prince Rong's followers in the court at lightning speed, and defeated the 100,000-strong army of Da Chu. This is something no one expected!"
"Otherwise, Da Qian will be in chaos, and we can also take advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters!"
With a cold look in her eyes, Empress Dowager Xiao murmured, "Gao Yang! "
"I have heard this name a lot during this period."
"Is he really that capable?"
Xu Xuanji seemed to have grasped the last hope, and he hurriedly said, "This Gao Yang is quite hidden, not only is his means extremely cruel, but he also has a high talent in governing the country and plotting evil!"
"It is precisely because of his assistance that the empress can achieve a great situation in a short period of time!"
"I dare to offer a suggestion. If the empress dowager can let Gao Yang work for her, great things can be accomplished!"
