Chapter 111

She wanted to trample the six kingdoms, sweep away the chaotic world, and make the world unified!

She wanted to create a true prosperous age and achieve the name of an eternal empress!

She wanted to prove to the world that a woman could also be an emperor, and could also achieve a great career!

There was only one world, but there were seven countries, hundreds of small countries, and countless barbarians. Is there still law in this world?

It was precisely because of this that she didn't hesitate to issue an edict to seek talent, and even gave heavy use to a vicious strategist like Gao Yang.

Everything behind this was for this ideal, which sounded unbelievable, and even if said out loud, the officials would say it was arrogant.

But Wu Zhao firmly believed that she could do it.

This world, she came, she saw, she conquered!

As long as she could achieve a great career, she didn't care about loyal ministers and treacherous officials, nor did she care about the viciousness of the strategy!

How history books write, how the world discusses, this had nothing to do with her.

After she died, let the flood be monstrous.

And her first step was to cut the feudal lords!

The power of Da Qian's feudal lords had reached the point where it had to be curbed!

"I used the wrong words, but the meaning is about the same. Do you have a brilliant plan to deal with these feudal lords?" Wu Zhao took a deep breath and spoke again.

"Does Your Majesty really want to make a move against the feudal lords?"

Gao Yang picked up the wine on the table, sipped it, and looked at Wu Zhao's noble face.

The dignified Empress bowing her head showed her determination.

Wu Zhao nodded, her eyes extremely cold. "Since I ascended the throne, I have been thinking about cutting the feudal lords, but I held back."

"But now, I want to make a move."

"Then please tell your subject a little, so your subject can make a move."

Wu Zhao looked at Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er said concisely, "The strength of Da Qian's feudal lords must be traced back a hundred years. At that time, the founding emperor of Da Qian, as a commoner, started an army in the chaotic world and finally founded Da Qian, forming a situation where the seven kingdoms stood together..."

Shangguan Wan'er opened her red lips and concisely told the hundred-year path of Da Qian.

Gao Yang listened quietly, and from Shangguan Wan'er's words, he also saw a Da Qian standing on the Central Plains.

A hundred years ago, when various heroes vied for power, there were perhaps a hundred small kingdoms across the vast territory, and amidst their mutual conquests, a great conflict erupted.

At that time, human life was like grass, blood dyed the earth red, heroes rose together in the world, and countless legends were born.

Finally, except for some nomadic peoples, only seven powerful countries remained in the world, including Da Qian, which was built by the founding emperor of Da Qian.

At that time, because it was a chaotic world and lacked the support of noble families, the founding emperor of Da Qian promised that if he became emperor, the founding heroes could all be enfeoffed as kings.

This was also the reason why a group of heroes fought for him; being enfeoffed as a king was equivalent to a country within a country.

But after the world was peaceful, these kings of different surnames seriously threatened the imperial power, so the former emperor of Da Qian, and for decades after that, cleaned up these feudal kings.

At this time, he united with his own clan!

After the kings of different surnames were cleaned up, the feudal lords of Da Qian became a new thorny problem.

They had their own fiefs, where they possessed military power, land, and taxes, and were veritable local emperors.

In Wu Zhao's generation, the power of these feudal lords could not be underestimated and seriously threatened the imperial power!

"Gao Yang, you can also consider the matter of cutting the feudal lords for a few days, no need to rush to give me an answer."

Wu Zhao saw Gao Yang frowning and couldn't help but speak.

She was too impatient.

Cutting the feudal lords was a major event and must be cautious. Although Gao Yang was full of tricks and deep in calculation, it was impossible to give a countermeasure immediately.

She was about to get up, but suddenly heard Gao Yang's voice.

"Your Majesty, your subject has a plan, which may weaken the strength of the feudal lords without shedding blood."

Once these words were spoken.

Wu Zhao's gaze changed suddenly.

Shangguan Wan'er's face was also full of shock.

Cutting the feudal lords was a real state affair and was extremely important. Gao Yang thought of a countermeasure so quickly?

Shangguan Wan'er was surprised.

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes also looked straight at Gao Yang, for the first time with urgency.

"Gao Yang, what brilliant plan do you have?"

Since ancient times, cutting the feudal lords must involve weapons, but Gao Yang said that it might be possible to cut the feudal lords without shedding blood, which aroused her curiosity even more.

Gao Yang saw this and didn't sell it, directly getting to the point. "Your Majesty, your subject has always believed that the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit."

"Whether it is governing the country or doing business, those who can use the weaknesses of human nature can achieve a great career!"

"Cutting the feudal lords is also among them. This plan of your subject is to use the weaknesses of human nature to invisibly weaken the power of Da Qian's feudal lords, making it difficult for them to pose a threat to Da Qian!"

"In the heart of your subject, there is a positive plan!" ===== CHAPTER 113 =====
