Rather than let this vile beast offend His Majesty and implicate the entire Gao family, I shall personally cleanse our house of this traitor, then beg forgiveness from Her Majesty the Empress!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this roar echoing throughout the entire Guogong Prefecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several servants clad in armor hurriedly brought a long ladder and handed over a great blade gleaming with cold light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy crap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could tell at a glance that this was a real blade!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing sideways, he saw a grand and imposing mansion, an ancient and elegant courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh no.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that I've transmigrated?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Gao Yang's brain throbbed intensely, as if a massive torrent of memories had flooded his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his eyes, filled with profound shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh no!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I really have transmigrated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not a society ruled by law, but the Great Qian Dynasty, a realm never recorded in history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man before him was his father, Gao Feng, a Vice Minister of Revenue in Great Qian, an official of the third rank!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grandfather, Gao Tianlong, was a veteran statesman serving three emperors and the foremost figure in the military.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through these memories, Gao Yang understood everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two months ago, Empress Wu Zhao ascended the throne, becoming the unprecedented female emperor in the history of the Great Qian Dynasty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet currently, Great Qian faced treacherous officials dominating internally, feudal kings carving up the realm, while the Xiongnu eyed them covetously from without!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Empress, filled with grand ambitions, was determined to pacify the chaotic world and establish a foundation for Great Qian lasting ten thousand years!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One month ago, the Empress issued an edict seeking talents, posting imperial notices to summon gifted individuals from across the land, eagerly seeking strategies to strengthen the nation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Empress particularly emphasized that extraordinary achievements require extraordinary people; anyone possessing world-shaking talent, regardless of status, could enter the court to serve as an official.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the original owner, the capital's greatest prodigal son proficient in drinking, feasting, whoring, and gambling, had inexplicably torn down the imperial notice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This instantly sent Gao Feng into a furious rage, deeply lamenting the misfortune of his family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was because the Empress's edict stated that anyone who tore down the imperial notice would be summoned to the Jin Luandian; those with true talent would be heavily employed, but those seeking fame through deceit would receive thirty strokes of the cane!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In severe cases, they would be charged with the crime of deceiving the sovereign!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, upon learning the news, Gao Feng had grabbed a staff and chased Gao Yang all over the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang, using both hands and feet, had scrambled up onto the courtyard wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a prestigious Duke's residence, the fear was not that descendants would be prodigals, but that a prodigal, unaware of his own nature, would insist on proving himself and attempting to achieve some monumental feat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Gao Feng's mind, Gao Yang was exactly such a prodigal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After learning everything, Gao Yang panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down at Gao Feng, who had taken up the great blade, the murderous intent radiating from him exceptionally obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold sweat instantly broke out on Gao Yang's forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was pondering how to escape, a furious shout rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gao Feng, how dare you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a hen protecting her chick, Lady Li quickly stepped in front of Gao Feng. \"Even a tiger does not eat its own cub; if you want to kill Yang'er, kill me first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Li, the eldest daughter of the Li family of the Five Surnames and Seven Clans, Gao Yang's birth mother, managed all the major and minor affairs of the Guogong Prefecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Step aside! This cursed beast has gone mad; if he reaches the Jin Luandian, who knows what chaos he might cause!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Gao Feng angrily pointed at Gao Yang. \"This cursed beast not only caused a great disaster but also climbed onto the courtyard wall to spout arrogance without bowing his head. How can I tolerate him?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next second, Gao Yang quickly scrambled down, using both hands and feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smoothed the wrinkles in his clothes and bowed respectfully to Gao Feng. \"Your son, Gao Yang, pays his respects to Father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In truth, your son tore down the imperial list to achieve merit and restore the hundred-year glory of our Gao family; this was not an impulsive act.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Feng: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This unfilial son bowed his head so quickly that it made him somewhat unaccustomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an expressionless face, Gao Feng said, \"The year you turned seventeen, your poem 'Ode to Reed Flowers'—'One flake, two flakes, three or four flakes; four flakes, five flakes, six or seven flakes'—made our Gao family the laughingstock of Changancheng's commoners during their tea and meals. Do you remember?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Memories flooded back; that time, Gao Feng and Gao Tianlong, father and son, had given him a combined beating, and he seemed to have lain in bed for a whole month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could speak, Gao Feng added, \"The year you turned eighteen, your poem 'Looking Closely at the Big Rock'—'From near, the rock is big; from afar, the rock is big'—once again made our Gao family the target of criticism and the shame of the literary world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now you are nineteen, having torn down His Majesty's Edict Seeking Worthies. Do you know that this act will make our entire Gao family the target of criticism?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Gao Feng's hand holding the great blade twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang understood that if he did not provide Gao Feng with a reasonable explanation now, a severe beating was inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since matters have come to this, even if Father beats your son severely, it will be of no avail.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The current Empress has just ascended the throne and is eager for talent. Your son tore down the imperial list, becoming the target of all arrows in Changancheng. If you, Father, strictly obstruct this, to put it mildly, it is disrespect toward the Empress; to put it severely, it could be pursued as the crime of deceiving the sovereign!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Feng's pupils constricted, and he looked at Gao Yang with some shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This statement struck right at his weak spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the new Emperor having just ascended, these are indeed troubled times. Gao Yang tearing down the imperial list meant the news had likely already reached the palace; if he obstructed it, someone would surely submit a memorial impeaching him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since when had this unfilial son become so sharp-tongued?\u003C\u002Fp>",1561,"2026-06-16T23:44:19.640Z","Qwen3.5 397B","98ad4dbab242e282f896fbc7b6c88362613b3597d1e4da70f97a21f27cae95ca","i-the-supreme-poison-strategist-called-the-livin-chapter-2",null,2,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-the-supreme-poison-strategist-called-the-livin-cover.jpg"]
