Chapter 1399: Confrontation in the Jin Luan Hall, Gao Yang's methods!

~7 min read 1,215 words

When Li Huaxiong heard the news, he was comfortably leaning on a recliner, sipping a cup of mellow, rich tea, looking very content.

"Gouwazi, you are just making a mountain out of a molehill. Can a single case count for anything? Even with the best craftsmanship, there are those who cut corners. This tribute silk system came at just the right time!"

"No need to worry, Zhao Gao is the general trend between Da Qian and the Zhao Kingdom; there can't be any problems!"

Although Gouwazi still wanted to say something, seeing Li Huaxiong so certain, he sensibly said nothing.

Li Huaxiong leaned on the recliner, rocking back and forth, his mind full of beautiful longing.

At this moment, he seemed to see countless bolts of Zhao Gao, saw gleaming silver. Just in this period, the Zhao Gao he had hoarded had already doubled in value!

What kind of wealth was this?

This Zhao Gao could still rise!

Sujin Pavilion.

Huang Yunxuan also heard this news.

Unlike Li Huaxiong, he smelled something unusual.

"At such a time, this kind of thing happened. A long robe made of Zhao Gao actually began to fade after being rained on."

"This is not right, not quite right!"

Huang Yunxuan muttered to himself, pacing slowly in the main hall.

He sensed that something was wrong.

But the greed in his heart made his eyes gradually become firm, "A mere individual case, what is important about it?"

"One must know, the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!"

Huang Yunxuan clenched his hands, his eyes full of firmness.

At first, everyone felt this was a trivial matter and no one took it to heart.

But little did they know, a real storm was about to arrive.

The next day.

The sun was bright.

Golden sunlight shrouded the entire Changancheng, everything appearing calm and peaceful, as if nothing had happened.

Jin Luan Hall.

The civil and military officials were lined up on both sides. Gao Yang, in a purple prime minister's robe, with a steamed bun in his mouth, stepped into the Jin Luan Hall.

And Gao Yang even said, "Everyone, good morning!"

For a time, some greeted Gao Yang, while others looked at Gao Yang with contempt, ignoring him, their eyes full of disdain.

The price of Zhao Gao had skyrocketed, and because of Gao Yang's words back then, one thing was almost confirmed—Gao Yang had accepted benefits from Zhao Yuheng!

But the essence of Zhao Gao was that Da Qian was paying the bill. In the eyes of some scholars, this act was equivalent to treason.

This naturally made them extremely dissatisfied with Gao Yang.

Cui Xinghe, in a green long robe, took a deep breath, and a decision was made in his heart.

This matter, others could ignore, but he, Cui Xinghe, could no longer sit idly by.

The trend of Zhao Gao must be curbed!

Cui Xinghe's gaze was firm, and he clenched his fists tightly.

To the side,

Wang Zhong also took a deep breath.

Although he feared Gao Yang's power, there was no way; between him and Gao Yang, there was no room for maneuver.

And his son Wang Xiao was still using Gao Yang's name to draw a wave of hatred towards Batuer.

If this matter were exposed, it would be even more incredible.

"Zhao Gao... should be the best opportunity for this old man to impeach. This time... succeed or die in the attempt!"

"Of course, if I don't succeed and don't die, that would naturally be better!"

Wang Zhong said silently in his heart.

Yan Zheng, in a white robe, his hair combed neatly, had a serious and meticulous expression.

Regarding the Zhao Gao affair, others could stay out of it, but he, Yan Zheng, had to spray!

Even if this meant going against Gao Yang, even if he had to pay an unknown, terrifying price.

But he, Yan Zheng, could not *not* spray!

Today, he was going to angrily spray Wu Zhao and impeach Gao Yang for one hundred and eight crimes!

He had already written the memorial, and it was in his wide sleeve!

It was also at this moment.

Wu Zhao walked over from the side. She was wearing a golden dragon robe, sat on the dragon chair with majesty, her face cold, her features exquisite.

Shangguan Wan'er, in a green long garment, stood beside Wu Zhao.

"We pay our respects to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

The officials, seeing Wu Zhao, bowed respectfully one after another.

Wu Zhao waved her hand and said indifferently, "All officials, rise!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The officials rose, and Wu Zhao said majestically, "Do any officials have important matters to report?"

As soon as Wu Zhao's words sounded.

Instantly.

Cui Xinghe, Wang Zhong, Yan Zheng, and others all took a deep breath. They made a decision in their hearts and were about to step forward.

But it was also at this moment that a voice sounded before them!

"Your Majesty, I, Gao Yang, have important matters to report!"

Swish, swish, swish!

Following Gao Yang's voice, the officials instantly looked at Gao Yang in unison, and even Cui Xinghe, Yan Zheng, and others were suddenly interrupted.

"Forget it, I'll impeach this fellow later!"

They all made the decision in their hearts.

Wu Zhao pretended to be puzzled and said, "Lord Gao, what important matter do you have to report?"

Wu Zhao's fingers tapped on the armrest of the dragon chair, slowly and rhythmically, to cover up the nervous emotions in her heart, her voice sounding extremely calm!

Gao Yang, with a righteous expression, cupped his hands to Wu Zhao and said, "Does Your Majesty know that this Zhao Gao in our Changancheng has risen to nearly four or five taels per bolt?"

Once these words were spoken, the officials all looked over with contemptuous gazes.

They couldn't sit still, not expecting Gao Yang to still dare to mention the price of Zhao Gao.

Who was to blame for Zhao Gao being able to soar to this price?

For a time, the officials were contemptuous, a rich disdain flashing in their eyes.

But Gao Yang didn't care and just looked at Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao said, "Four or five taels per bolt, is it that expensive?"

Gao Yang replied, "Yes, this four or five taels per bolt can be called a sky-high price, but I have always felt that market prices are determined by demand and supply, and this is a perfectly normal thing!"

"But what pains me greatly is that this Zhao Gao, worth four or five taels, actually fades when exposed to water!"

"This quality is truly not a match for its price!"

Wu Zhao feigned anger, slapped the dragon chair, and said, "Lord Gao, there is actually such a thing?"

"Four or five taels of silver, this is enough for the expenses of ordinary people for half a year or even a year, yet it fades when exposed to water?"

At this time.

The Minister of the Court of Diplomatic Reception, Chen Qiong, stood out. He cupped his hands to Wu Zhao and said, "Your Majesty, I also have something to report, and it is also related to this Zhao Gao!" ===== CHAPTER 1401 =====
