Chapter 1994: Gao Yang is worth one hundred thousand gold, I am worth one tael? God damn it!

~4 min read 735 words

"One tael of silver?"

"Any more is not worth it?"

Crack!

At this moment, Cui Xinghe felt as if something had shattered in his heart.

It was nothing else but all his dignity, pride, and all the expectations of being the top scholar of Da Qian and the future head of all officials, being instantly smashed into powder by this one tael of broken silver!

One hundred thousand taels of gold, Imperial Preceptor and Prince, ten cities, the status of Prime Minister, governing the world together... that is Gao Yang!

One tael of silver... this is he, Cui Xinghe!

The difference between the two is simply the difference between heaven and earth, clouds and mud!

This humiliation will surely spread to the four seas with today's events!

Gao Yang's reputation will be pushed to the altar, while he, Cui Xinghe, is destined to become a laughingstock of the world! A huge joke worth only one tael of silver!

He stared fixedly at Murong Fu, his eyes bloodshot from extreme humiliation, his lips buzzing silently, wanting to counterattack.

But what should he say?

Say one tael of silver is insulting whom? That would only invite more vicious humiliation from Murong Fu: "Does Top Scholar Cui think he is worth how much?"

Wu Zhao's warning was still before his eyes.

How could he fall for it again?

However, what made Cui Xinghe feel even colder than the monstrous humiliation was Murong Fu himself!

This person looked ordinary and was not famous, but the sharpness of his words, the precision of his calculations, and the viciousness of his heart-striking were simply chilling!

This is definitely not an ordinary person!

Behind this... must be Chen Ping's handiwork!

But even a vicious dog released by Chen Ping is so powerful, playing him, Cui Xinghe, in the palm of his hand, humiliating him until he was left with no shred of dignity... can he, Cui Xinghe, really contend with the unfathomable and all-calculating Chen Ping?

Staring at Murong Fu, who had a powerful presence and had implicitly become the center of the Jin Luandian, Cui Xinghe only felt an unprecedented abyss of despair ruthlessly swallowing him!

Can he... hold on?

The entire hall fell into a dead silence of despair that was even more suffocating than anger!

Wang Zhong's fists creaked, and his teeth were almost crushed.

Ruthless!

This Murong Fu is too ruthless!

This is the most ruthless heart-striking!

This is not just destroying Cui Xinghe, but breaking the backbone of the Da Qian court! He wants to tell the world that the person chosen by the Da Qian officials to succeed Gao Yang is only worth one tael of silver.

In terms of value, he is not even worth a hair of Gao Yang!

"Your Majesty," Murong Fu's voice carried hypocritical regret, breaking the silence again, "Top Scholar Cui's matter is just a small detail. My Emperor's sincere request is for Prime Minister Gao. I wonder, Your Majesty... are you willing to part with him?"

Wu Zhao clenched her fists, her phoenix eyes carrying extreme coldness.

Gao Yang broke ties with her, and on the surface, he was driven away by her.

And now the entire court, the entire Changancheng, implicitly knew that Cui Xinghe was to succeed Gao Yang's position, the successor she, Wu Zhao, had chosen.

As a result.

The envoys of the three kingdoms came and did this to her.

But in the midst of her rage, with killing intent surging in her heart.

She had to admit in her heart.

Chen Ping! What a Chen Ping! What a vicious, interlocking, and ruthless chain of schemes!

The Xiongnu provocation was just the lead-in, the three kingdoms' exchange with the nation's wealth was the real killing move, and this one tael of broken silver was the ultimate finishing move to completely destroy Da Qian's dignity!

There is no greater heart-striking than this!

"Although Prime Minister Gao resigned, he made world-shaking contributions to my Da Qian. He is a meritorious minister of the nation; how can he be a commodity to be exchanged at will? If Prime Minister Gao leaves, I will not take a single cent; if he does not leave, let alone one hundred thousand taels of gold, even one million taels of gold or the territory of a nation, I will not exchange him!"

"I am tired. That is all for today. Dismiss the court!"
