Chapter 1440

~5 min read 809 words

But Wu Zhao is an emperor, does she not want face?

Therefore, she also said faintly, "I am just a little surprised that Prime Minister Gao is also proficient in this way."

"As for these means of rebellion, in my eyes, they are just average."

Wu Zhao said faintly, her body permeated with a noble aura, extremely arrogant.

Pfft.

Gao Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Wu Zhao's face turned black, and she said unhappily: "Prime Minister Gao, what are you laughing at?"

"Your Majesty, I apologize, I couldn't help it for a moment."

"But I have always had excellent endurance and have undergone strict training, unless I really can't hold it in."

"Are my words funny?" Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes narrowed, and she said unhappily.

Gao Yang sensed the echo of death, so he said solemnly, "How could I dare to laugh at Your Majesty?"

"I just thought of some funny things, but it's better not to say them."

"Is Your Majesty eating breakfast? This breakfast looks good. I haven't eaten this morning..."

Gao Yang touched his stomach, his eyes staring at Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao: "..."

Thick skin, sure enough, has many benefits.

With Gao Yang's skin, she felt that whatever he did would be successful.

"Someone, add a pair of chopsticks!"

Wu Zhao said with a black face, giving the order.

"I thank Your Majesty!"

Gao Yang was also unceremonious, and after the chopsticks were placed on the table, he began to eat heartily.

That way of eating like a storm sweeping away fallen leaves directly shocked Wu Zhao.

"Prime Minister Gao, were you released from a hunger prison? How many days have you not eaten, coming to me to stock up?"

Wu Zhao was stunned.

Moreover, Wu Zhao has always disliked extravagance and waste, so her breakfast was not much, just a few exquisite small dishes.

Gao Yang ate like this, what would she eat?

"The imperial meal is too delicious, I couldn't help it for a moment, please don't blame me, Your Majesty..."

Gao Yang showed an innocent smile.

Wu Zhao took a deep breath and put down the chopsticks in her hand.

Instead, she said to Gao Yang, "Prime Minister Gao, it doesn't matter, you have made great contributions, what does a breakfast count for?"

"Just, are you full?"

"If you are not full, I will order the Imperial Kitchen to serve another portion."

Gao Yang looked at the breakfast that was almost finished, touched his stomach, and just wanted to say he wasn't full, but felt a pair of eyes that had suddenly become extremely cold, so he hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, I am full."

Wu Zhao's expression eased, and then she said to Gao Yang, "Since Prime Minister Gao is full, then I will talk to Prime Minister Gao about state affairs."

"Is that okay?"

Gao Yang picked up a cup of morning tea after the meal and took a sip, "I am willing to serve Your Majesty like a dog or horse!"

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes slowly became serious, and she said, "Zhao Guo is in chaos, and it has become a foregone conclusion. My Great Qian not only made a big profit this time but also solved a serious trouble by my side."

"This is something to be happy about."

"I am not worried about Zhao Guo anymore, now what I am worried about is—the Xiongnu!"

Wu Zhao thought of the Xiongnu, and her phoenix eyes became extremely serious.

Gao Yang picked up the teacup in his hand, his fingertips rotating, and did not speak for the first time.

Wu Zhao continued, "In the battle of the Xuan River Loop, Prime Minister Gao was brave, brave enough to lead the three armies, raided the Xiongnu's nest, wiped them out in one pot, and made great military contributions for my Great Qian, raising the national prestige of my Great Qian."

"This battle, I am extremely happy!"

"The prestige of Prime Minister Gao is circulating throughout the grassland. Looking at my Great Qian, although there are countless famous generals and capable ministers, no one has the ability of Prime Minister Gao!"

"Although the battle of the Xuan River Loop showed the momentum of my Great Qian, this battle did not hurt the foundation of the Xiongnu, especially since the Xiongnu have the support of the Chu, Yan, and Qi kingdoms behind them!"

"Therefore, I want to discuss with Prime Minister Gao..."

Gao Yang felt more and more wrong the more he listened, and the more he listened, the more panicked he felt in his heart. Wu Zhao took the initiative to flatter him, this matter is probably not small.

Therefore, even though it was Wu Zhao, Gao Yang directly interrupted her regardless.

"Your Majesty, you wouldn't want to send me to the grassland again to strike the Xiongnu, would you?"
