Chapter 16

"Big brother, Ling'er was wrong!"

"Don't run! If I don't beat you today, I, Gao Yang, will change my name to Gao Wan!"

Gao Yang immediately chased after her.

Maybe it was because of the transmigration, or maybe it was because he had never felt the warmth of a family in his previous life.

He didn't feel any discomfort after transmigrating; on the contrary, he was very familiar and close to everything in the Gao mansion.

"The imperial decree is here!"

Gao Yang had just caught Gao Ling when he heard this decree-proclaiming voice that almost rang through the entire Duke of Ding Prefecture.

Gao Yang's face was happy, and he let go of Gao Ling, who was like a chicken, "Let you go for now, let's see what the Empress rewarded!"

Duke of Ding Prefecture, outer courtyard.

Shangguan Wan'er held the golden silk imperial decree, followed by a dozen imperial guards, her stunning face expressionless.

As soon as the imperial decree arrived, everyone in the Duke of Ding Prefecture knelt down to receive the decree.

But there was one exception, and that was the Duke of Ding, Gao Tianlong, who was standing at the very front wearing a coarse cloth gown, his face majestic and awe-inspiring.

He just bent down slightly, but no one would feel it was inappropriate, because this was the privilege he earned with his life after fighting for Da Qian for fifty years.

Gao Yang naturally had no privileges. Although he hated Da Qian's kneeling to receive the decree, he had to bow his head in ancient times.

This was the first time he had seen his grandfather, who was the number one general of Da Qian, after transmigrating.

Although his hair was gray and he didn't say a word, his body was filled with powerful majesty, making one dare not look directly at him.

Therefore, Gao Yang looked at Gao Tianlong with a squint.

"Degenerate... degenerate son, you need to lower your head to receive the decree and be respectful, don't get the crime of disrespecting the Emperor, that will be exiled to the Lingnan area!"

Gao Feng said in a low voice. He endured for a long time, but finally couldn't bear it. This degenerate son looked left and right like a curious baby.

The old man is not a stunning beauty, does he need to look at him like this?

Besides, this imperial decree is not necessarily a good thing. This sense of smell is completely different from his leisurely walk in the Jin Luandian.

Gao Yang had to lower his head and obediently receive the decree.

Shangguan Wan'er opened the imperial decree and said loudly, "By the order of the Emperor, the decree says: The world is in great disaster, and the disaster in Linjiang City is like fire. Gao Yang, grandson of the Duke of Ding, has the talent of a pillar of the country. I specially order Gao Yang to be the temporary Inspecting Censor, in charge of all matters in Linjiang City, to stabilize grain prices at the fastest speed, return peace to the people, set off immediately, and do not make any mistakes. This is the decree!"

"Gao Yang, receive the decree and thank the Emperor."

As soon as the imperial decree came out, Gao Feng's pupils shrank.

Even the eyes of Gao Tianlong in front suddenly became sharp.

Gao Yang was stunned for a moment, then said respectfully, "Gao Yang, thanks to the Emperor for the holy grace."

He took the imperial decree with a helpless smile on his face. Originally, he thought this was an appointment decree from the Empress.

But now it seems that the Empress's big white legs are not so easy to hold.

This is clearly a transition from theory to practical operation of governing the country. If he cannot reduce grain prices at the fastest speed, he will be removed from the Empress's heart.

But he was also truly amazed by Wu Zhao's courage, using the lives of the people of a city as an opportunity for him to practice.

Is she not afraid that he will mess it up?

Gao Feng looked at Shangguan Wan'er and said in shock, "With the degenerate son's ability, how can he be qualified for the position of Inspecting Censor? The people of a city cannot be messed with."

Shangguan Wan'er's face was cold. Thinking that she also had to follow Gao Yang on this trip, a comparison with a foregone conclusion, she was also quite dissatisfied.

She didn't mean to look down on Gao Yang, but in her heart, compared to Cui Xinghe, Gao Yang could not win; this is a fact.

"Vice Minister Gao, this is all the Emperor's decree. You also know the Emperor's temper; no one can change it."

Then, Shangguan Wan'er looked at Gao Yang and said, "The disaster is urgent, the official is waiting outside, please ask Inspecting Censor Gao to pack up and set off immediately."

Saying this, Shangguan Wan'er turned around directly.

Gao Tianlong turned back to look at Gao Yang, his majestic face expressionless, "The disaster is like fire, pack your luggage and hurry on your way. This is the Emperor's assessment for you. If you succeed, you will soar into the sky, but you must remember, it is better not to do it than to make a mistake. In this way, even if you don't succeed, I can save your little life."

"Whether it is a blessing or a curse, it all depends on yourself."

After speaking, Gao Tianlong turned around and walked toward the inner courtyard.

Although the tone was very cold, Gao Yang still felt a sense of care.

He turned to pack his luggage; in fact, there was nothing to pack.

This is like a business trip, with food and accommodation provided, just packing a few sets of dry clothes is enough.

So, after slightly asking the maid to collect a few pieces of clothes, Gao Yang pushed the door out.

But just after pushing the door, he saw Gao Feng with a tight face, and his noble mother, Lady Li!

Lady Li saw Gao Yang and felt distressed, "Linjiang City is more than two hundred miles away from Changancheng. On this road, it is inevitable to suffer!"

"Lv Luo, you follow Yang'er and take care of his daily life."

A delicate girl in green clothes hurriedly responded, "Yes!"

Her face was fair and weak. Gao Yang's eyes suddenly brightened.

His mother is too thoughtful.

Lv Luo blinked her timid eyes and looked at Gao Yang, only feeling that Gao Yang's eyes were like a tiger or a wolf, very scary.

On the side, Gao Ling jumped up and handed over a small package.

Her tender little face was full of reluctance: "Big brother, this is peach blossom pastry, you take it to eat on the road."

Gao Ling felt distressed, but she handed the package to Gao Yang without hesitation.

On the side, a young man who was younger than him and had a bit of a ruffian look followed, "Brother, you are going this time, at least for half a month, a month!"

"Don't worry, the little lady you often take care of in the Rouge Pavilion in the capital, brother will take care of her for you, you don't have to worry."

The person who spoke was his own younger brother, Gao Feng's second son, Gao Changwen!

Hearing this, Gao Yang's mouth twitched.

Before he could speak, Gao Feng was the first to be furious, "Degenerate son, get out within three breaths!"

As soon as Gao Changwen saw his father get angry, he was immediately scared and ran outside the mansion.

While running, he shouted, "Big brother, don't worry, brother will take good care of your woman!"

Gao Feng closed his eyes in pain.

He shouldn't have been greedy for that moment back then, otherwise he wouldn't have had his blood pressure soar every day.

"Father, don't be angry. As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father. When I return, I will naturally discipline Changwen well and make him change his ways."

Gao Yang said with a smile.

Gao Feng suppressed the old blood in his heart and said for a long time, "This is an opportunity, and it is also a crisis. Now Changancheng is undercurrents. If you are not sure, then do as your grandfather said. The Gao family can always protect you."

"Remember, don't try to be brave and let things go out of control."

Gao Yang's heart was touched by something.

A mother who worries about her son traveling far and sends her personal maid, a sister who sends her favorite peach blossom pastry.

Gao Changwen doesn't count.

Father Gao Feng, although he calls him a degenerate son, has always protected him whether in the Jin Luandian or now. Grandfather Gao Tianlong is not good at words, but he is also protective.

In his previous life, the things he lacked were all unexpectedly made up for after transmigrating.

Gao Yang smiled and said, "The fledgling eagle will eventually spread its wings. Under the protection of the family all day, how can it spread its wings in the long sky and overlook the world?"

"In today's world, the Emperor has just ascended the throne and is in need of talent. If I can be valued by the Empress, I will continue the hundred-year glory of the Duke of Ding Prefecture."

This light sentence made Gao Feng stiffen, and relief appeared in his eyes.

"The grain price in Linjiang City will definitely drop within ten days. Father, wait for my good news in Changancheng. In the future, this huge Gao family should also be carried by someone else."

"I am going."

Gao Yang said freely, bowed respectfully to Gao Feng and Lady Li, and then turned and left.

Lv Luo picked up the package and followed Gao Yang step by step.

The new Emperor ascended the throne, and the political power was turbulent. Although the Gao family has been generals for three generations and is one of the six great Dukes of Ding, it is also watched by too many people with intentions.

There are not a few people in Changancheng who want the Gao family to fall.

To live this life peacefully and keep this hard-won peaceful life, the Empress's big white legs must be held!

If he, Gao Yang, doesn't play to death these grain merchants who take the opportunity to make a fortune from the national disaster this time!

Then he, Gao Yang, might as well find a piece of tofu and hit it to death.

Behind him, Gao Feng watched Gao Yang's back and smiled with relief.

"God, finally protected my Gao family."

But he immediately said angrily, "Pass my order, confine that degenerate son. If Yang'er doesn't come back, he can't leave the Duke of Ding Prefecture for a single step."

"Otherwise, I will break his three legs!"
