Chapter 1079: It

Ten million taels!

Even Wu Zhao had to admire Gao Yang's courage.

This number was equivalent to an astronomical figure!

Once this ten million taels was out, the entire Changancheng, and even the entire Great Qian, would be shaken by it!

But what Wu Zhao cared about more was Gao Yang's attitude.

"Lord Gao, you underestimate me."

Wu Zhao stood up, her noble face, set off by the black and red dragon robe, full of majesty.

Her phoenix eyes were indifferent as she spoke.

Gao Yang raised his head and stared at Wu Zhao.

He waited for Wu Zhao's follow-up.

"In my heart, the idea that 'when the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked' is an extremely unreasonable thing, and I have always felt that there is no reason for great achievements to be made and for meritorious officials to die."

"But since Lord Gao is worried, then let it be done this way."

"There are thousands of noble families in Great Qian; I am not afraid of one more Gao family."

"But I hope that in the future, Lord Gao can truly be as you said today and no longer be restrained."

"I am waiting to see Lord Gao's abilities!"

After these words fell, a look of joy appeared on Gao Yang's face.

He said loudly, "Your subject Gao Yang, thank you for Your Majesty's holy grace!"

With these words from Wu Zhao, he could act boldly and decisively, with no more constraints or worries.

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes were cold as she continued, "But once this matter is out, your appointment as Prime Minister depends on the resistance in the court. In addition, you have engaged in slaughter, and I should punish you."

"Guo Youliang deserves to be executed for his crimes, and the position of Grand Commander of the Western Depot is vacant, so I will punish you by having you fill in for me."

Once these words were out.

Gao Yang's expression changed drastically.

Punish him by making him the Grand Commander of the Western Depot?

"Hiss!"

Gao Yang hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, your subject knows I am wrong."

"But this matter must absolutely not happen!"

Confusion rose in Wu Zhao's eyes; she was puzzled.

Gao Yang's reaction was a bit too much!

"Why?"

Gao Yang looked at Wu Zhao's reaction and knew his reaction was a bit over the top.

But since it concerned his lifelong happiness for the rest of his life, one could not be too careful.

Gao Yang said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Western Depot is independent of the Six Ministries and is the sharpest sword in Your Majesty's hand, but that status is awkward."

"Doesn't that require castration?"

"Although your subject is not afraid of pain, the Duke of Ding Prefecture has few descendants; I would be failing my ancestors above and failing myself below!"

This sentence put Wu Zhao in a great mood.

She smiled and said with feigned seriousness, "Lord Gao, for such a heavy responsibility, besides you, who else can I trust in the entire Great Qian?"

"Rest assured, I will definitely find you the most experienced master craftsman, fast, accurate, and ruthless; you will not feel any pain."

Once these words fell.

Gao Yang's eyes widened.

Was she serious?

But before he could speak, Shangguan Wan'er on the side couldn't stand it anymore.

Her beautiful face was flushed, but she still probed Wu Zhao, "Your Majesty, are you really going to castrate him?"

Castrated... then what would she do?

Although Gao Yang wasn't very capable, he was at least usable. If he were castrated, wouldn't she be a widow in all but name?

Wu Zhao: "..."

She stared at Shangguan Wan'er, who was full of worry, and the corner of her mouth twitched.

At this time, Gao Yang's wailing sounded.

"Your Majesty, if you don't consider your subject's face, you must consider Wan'er's face. If I am castrated, wouldn't Wan'er be a widow in all but name?"

"The greatest pain in the world is nothing more than this!"

Wu Zhao waved her hand and said amusingly: "I was just teasing you."

"A dignified 'Living Yama,' so unable to take a joke? What does it matter if a mere one or two inches of stuff is gone?"

Gao Yang heard this and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, your subject must correct you, it's three or four inches!"

"You can slander your subject in other things, but this matter involves a man's dignity. Even if it is Your Majesty, your subject must clarify it."

When Gao Yang said this, he was serious and extremely solemn.

But Wu Zhao laughed when she heard this, "Lord Gao, do you still have dignity?"

These words made Gao Yang feel that something was wrong. ===== CHAPTER 1081 =====
