Chapter 1534

"Finished!"

"This is really finished!"

This allows the Living Yama to master public opinion; the sow screaming, the seventy-year-old grandmother pregnant—all this has been brought out; what will happen in the future?

"No!"

"This old man must go to see the Emperor immediately, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night."

Yan Zheng put on his official robe and rushed to the Imperial Palace.

Outside the Imperial Palace.

Yan Zheng saw many familiar figures, almost all of whom were officials who had had conflicts with Gao Yang.

Everyone looked at each other, and although they didn't say a word, they reached a consensus.

Imperial Study.

Wu Zhao held the latest Da Qian Daily, and her noble face could not help but reveal a hint of strangeness.

"This Prime Minister Gao, he really can talk nonsense, even publishing the old sow screaming frequently in the middle of the night and the seventy-year-old grandmother pregnant; he won't stop until he pits the Wang family to death."

"But I really have to say, this headline is written really well, it's too eye-catching; I don't know where Prime Minister Gao learned it."

Wu Zhao took a step, sighing, "When General Wang Lao sees this sentence, I'm afraid he will go black in the eyes and faint!"

This headline even made her laugh.

Every sentence is not explosive, but every sentence is very explosive!

Shangguan Wan'er could not help but smile, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Gao's vengeful nature is known to all officials; now all officials are in danger, I'm afraid Your Majesty will be busy."

Wu Zhao also nodded, "The means against the Pei family are understandable, but the final headline against the Wang family is too explosive; if the officials aren't panicked, that would be strange."

"Especially those noble families, they value their reputation more than their lives; this Da Qian Daily—will be the sharpest knife in my hand!"

Wu Zhao stretched out her slender jade fingers and made a virtual grasping motion, her face full of intoxication.

On this day, Wu Zhao knew the intention of the officials, so she just made up a reason, saying she was unwell and would not see the officials; if they had matters, they could submit them, or wait for the morning court report.

This represented her attitude.

Gao Yang was a bit excessive, but the Da Qian Daily could not be canceled.

Although Yan Zheng and others were extremely unwilling, they had no choice but to turn and leave in frustration.

The next day.

Jin Luan Hall.

As soon as Wang Zhong went to court, he stood out and shouted, "Your Majesty!"

These two big words were full of emotion, as if they carried monstrous grievances, endless sorrow, and sought justice.

Wu Zhao's gaze glanced at Gao Yang.

Gao Yang also stood out with his hands arched, and he said with a face full of guilt, "General Wang Lao, your subject also heard about yesterday's events, and I am very sorry."

"The scholar who published the Da Qian Daily was outsourced, just started the job, and published the hearsay news; it was a huge oversight."

Wang Zhong gritted his teeth.

Outsourced?

Just started the job?

What kind of bullshit reason is this; does he really think I, Wang Zhong, am an idiot?

Gao Yang faced the officials, looking serious, "Your subject has also heard some rumors among the people, saying that I have a grudge against General Wang Lao and am taking the opportunity to retaliate, and that all officials who have conflicts with me, Gao Yang, will be finished; this Prime Minister hereby solemnly declares that this is purely a rumor."

"These words are extremely irresponsible and are a huge slander against this official's personality!"

"Gentlemen, you can rest assured; public is public, private is private; this official is not a vengeful person!"

For a time, the vast Jin Luan Hall was silent.

The officials stared at Gao Yang with strange eyes; is this statement trying to fool a ghost?

Not to mention the officials were speechless, even Wu Zhao couldn't hold it together.

Gao Yang himself wasn't embarrassed, but she felt embarrassed for Gao Yang.

But there was no way; the Da Qian Daily was too important to her.

Therefore, Wu Zhao said in a deep voice, "Prime Minister Gao's solemn statement has the power of a thousand jun, which is convincing; since it was an unintentional mistake, Prime Minister Gao, after the morning court, apologize to General Wang Lao in private, and let this matter pass."

"Yes!"

Gao Yang responded.

Wang Zhong also knew when to stop, knowing Wu Zhao's attitude.

After speaking, Wu Zhao took out the Pei family's "Four Books Annotation", attracting the attention of the officials.

Shangguan Wan'er brought a fire basin, and Wu Zhao threw the "Four Books Annotation" in and lit it.

The raging fire ignited, and soon the Pei family's "Four Books Annotation" was burned to ashes.

Wu Zhao looked down at the officials and said, "The old knowledge is burned, and the new knowledge should be born accordingly; I have decided to start from the investigation of things—from today on, set up the Institute of Investigation, independent of the six ministries of the court; even if they are craftsmen, as long as they are registered, their descendants can take the imperial examination!"

As soon as Wu Zhao's words fell, it was like a huge storm sweeping through the Jin Luan Hall.

Even Yan Zheng and others temporarily forgot about Gao Yang and fell into shock.

Before this, not to mention Da Qian, even the entire seven kingdoms followed one ideology, and that was: all things are inferior, only reading is high!

This book is only one kind of book, and that is the sage book!

Of the three thousand kinds of knowledge in the world, except for the Dao of the sages, they are all just strange skills!

But Wu Zhao set up the Institute of Investigation and allowed craftsmen to register, and their descendants could participate in the imperial examination; this was a big move!

This means that there is more than one kind of knowledge in the world, not just sage books!

If this were published in the Da Qian Daily, it would definitely shock the whole world.

The next second.

Swish, swish, swish!

Almost visibly, the eyes of the officials fell on Gao Yang.

The Institute of Investigation is independent of the six ministries, so it has great autonomy, and its status is terrifyingly high; whoever can manage the Institute of Investigation will have many benefits.

But everyone was not jealous, because in their hearts, the first dean of the Institute of Investigation already had a candidate; in the entire Da Qian—only one person was qualified!

At this time, Wu Zhao's gaze also fell on Gao Yang, and she said softly, "Lord Gao, you are capable and hardworking; let you be the first dean of the Institute of Investigation." **CHAPTER 1536**
