Chapter 1072

If he had known, he would have eaten some locusts and not stood out.

A huge loss!

In an instant, the civil officials who had been full of spirit and launched an attack on Gao Yang were all like frost-beaten cabbage, all wilted.

And what made them most unacceptable was that Gao Yang donated one million taels in one breath and was the initiator of this matter; he was destined to reap the reputation.

The scholars of the world and the poor families would all be grateful to Gao Yang, not them.

If they donated too much, they would at most be looked at highly.

If they donated too little, their reputation would be ruined.

Too ruthless!

Under the feeling that a day felt like a year.

Gao Yang completed a round of harvesting.

The hundred officials all lowered their heads, like widows who had been molested, but they didn't dare to speak out, but their hearts were filled with grievance.

As soon as the words "Court dismissed" were spoken.

The hundred officials hurriedly filed out, their faces all green.

Wu Zhao said to Gao Yang, "Lord Gao, follow me!"

Subsequently, Wu Zhao, wearing a black and red dragon robe, left first; even in the wide dragon robe, she still couldn't hide her slender figure while walking.

Soon.

In the Imperial Garden.

In the pavilion.

Wu Zhao sat in the first seat, while Gao Yang stood not far in front of Wu Zhao, and two cups of steaming hot tea were placed on the stone table.

Gao Yang looked straight ahead, staring at Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao's noble face was covered in frost.

She said lightly: "Lord Gao, isn't this gaze of yours a bit too presumptuous?"

Gao Yang looked straight ahead and said, "What does Your Majesty mean by this? My father said that when facing Your Majesty, one must be respectful from the bottom of one's heart and look straight ahead."

Wu Zhao looked at Gao Yang, who was standing to the side and staring at her collarbone and below, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

What a 'look straight ahead'.

"Lord Gao, sit down and speak."

Wu Zhao picked up her teacup, blocked Gao Yang's line of sight perfectly, and said lightly.

"Oh."

Gao Yang looked disappointed.

Then he prepared to sit down.

At this time, Wu Zhao's indifferent voice sounded again.

"I will only ask you once; Lord Gao, think carefully before answering, but I don't want Lord Gao to lie to me. Tell me honestly, in this one million, how much of it is my silver?"

Hearing this, Gao Yang, who was about to sit down, froze.

He raised his head, first looked at Wu Zhao, then said.

"I'd better kneel and speak."
