Chapter 1421

What kind of joke is this?

He stood up, waved his dragon robe sleeve, and said domineeringly, "Prime Minister Zhao, at such a time, as the Prime Minister of my Zhao Kingdom, how can you disrupt my military morale and exaggerate?"

"Da Qian has indeed tricked my Zhao Kingdom, and this time my Zhao Kingdom has suffered significant losses, but my Zhao Kingdom is a vast country, how could it be finished because of this?"

"On the contrary, this damned Da Qian, it dared to design against my Zhao Kingdom. This hatred is irreconcilable. I will send a large army, unite with Yan, Chu, Qi, and the Xiongnu, point my sword at Da Qian, avenge this great hatred, and make Da Qian pay a bloody price!"

The Zhao Huang clenched his fists, his voice sonorous and powerful, carrying endless hatred.

For a time.

The civil and military officials of the Zhao Kingdom were all filled with righteous indignation and echoed one after another.

"Send a large army, point our swords at Da Qian!"

"Send a large army, point our swords at Da Qian!"

"Make Da Qian pay, avenge this deep hatred!"

The biggest nobles in the Zhao Kingdom were these civil and military officials standing in the Jin Luan Hall.

Similarly, in this Zhao Gao incident, they were also the group that suffered the biggest and most miserable losses.

These echoes were all mixed with intense hatred, and all came from the bones.

But Zhao Pu found it extremely ridiculous.

"Hahaha!"

He laughed loudly, the laughter even drowning out the echoes of the officials, attracting all the gazes in the hall.

The Zhao Huang was a bit annoyed, and a murderous intent arose in his heart.

He said in an unfriendly tone, "Prime Minister Zhao, what are you laughing at?"

Zhao Pu's eyes swept across the hall, and his voice suddenly rang out.

"I laugh that Your Majesty still hasn't seen the murderous intent of this trap until now."

"I laugh that the officials in the court all know how to fight for power, but have no ability to govern the country!"

"I laugh because revenge is ridiculous, sending a large army is ridiculous, and it is ridiculous because of what the officials in the court said!"

Zhao Pu's words were sonorous and merciless, echoing in the entire Jin Luan Hall, making everyone's faces ugly, but their hearts were extremely shocked.

The Zhao Huang's face was not good, because Zhao Pu's words were almost pointing at his nose and scolding him.

But at the same time, an ominous premonition welled up in his heart, and that premonition was extremely strong.

"Prime Minister Zhao, what do you mean by this?" The Zhao Huang asked.

This time, Zhao Pu faced the Zhao Huang's eyes directly and said, "Your Majesty, do you think the methods of the Living Yama and that Da Qian Empress are really that simple?"

"This Zhao Gao, which has been planned for a year, is just the first step in the Living Yama's plan!"

"The real killing move is still to come!"

The Zhao Huang stared at Zhao Pu, locking him in place.

Zhao Yuheng's face was also extremely ugly, his eyes fixed on Zhao Pu.

At this moment, even if he were stupid, he knew he had fallen into Gao Yang's big trap!

It was just that now, he still didn't know Gao Yang's intentions.

Zhao Pu's tone was tragic, carrying a relief as if revealing a secret.

Now that Da Qian's killing move had been made and the Zhao Kingdom had no countermeasures, all he could do was let the Zhao Huang and these civil and military officials understand a little earlier.

"Your Majesty, when the Da Qian Empress encouraged the people of Da Qian to wear Zhao Gao, along with the tribute satin system from a while ago, and the so-called national policy that was spread, saying it was to be friendly with my Zhao Kingdom, it was to send money to my Zhao Kingdom in disguise through Zhao Gao."

"These methods, the fermentation of these news, have only one purpose—that is to make the price of Zhao Gao rise to the heavens!"

"But little did they know, behind this crazy price increase, under the shroud of countless gold and silver, a sinister killing move was hidden."

"I, Zhao Pu, dare to ask Your Majesty and the officials in the court: when the price of Zhao Gao skyrockets and the domestic aristocratic families enter the game wanting to make a fortune, who will it affect?"

"Who will follow into the game?"

As soon as this was said.

The Zhao Huang was unsettled.

Zhao Yuheng was unsettled.

The civil and military officials in the court were all unsettled.

In their minds, two big characters emerged in unison—commoners!

Zhao Pu saw their expressions and understood that they knew everything.

He came to the center of the Jin Luan Hall and said, "That's right, it is the commoners!"

"Since Zhao Gao rises to the heavens, and planting mulberry and raising silkworms is more profitable, who else will work hard to plant rice?"

"As long as there is silver, and as long as Zhao Gao sells for a sky-high price, then I can completely take the silver to buy grain!"

"When one person thinks this way, it doesn't matter. When ten people think this way, it doesn't matter. But when thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of commoners think this way, then the problem is big!"

"What the Da Qian Living Yama and the Da Qian Empress want is not Zhao Gao at all. They want the commoners of my Zhao Kingdom to speculate, fall into madness, and abandon their farmland!"

"And then—no one will plant grain, and then they will block the grain of my Zhao Kingdom and raise the grain price to the heavens!"

"The terrain of my Zhao Kingdom is special. It is as difficult as ascending to heaven for the other five countries to transport grain in, and the cost is huge!"

"When Zhao Gao is no longer wanted, and grain begins to be in short supply, and the commoners can no longer afford it, what will happen?"

"At that time, my Zhao Kingdom will be filled with starving people, and corpses will be strewn across the fields!"

Zhao Pu stretched out his hand, his voice carrying great tragedy. Before his eyes, it was as if the scene of the Zhao Kingdom's people living in misery and starving to death had already appeared.

He sighed, a smile of both sadness and admiration on his lips.

What kind of method is this?

Even though he had never seen the Da Qian Living Yama, Zhao Pu was convinced from the bottom of his heart.

This person is too terrifying!

This person is too vicious!

This plan is too ruthless!

The Da Qian Living Yama is truly a Living Yama who treats life like grass!
