Chapter 202

Gao Yang automatically ignored the complexity in Wu Zhao's eyes and said with a smile.

Wu Zhao swept her brows, "Does the Assistant Secretary have anything else?"

"I don't have anything, but does Your Majesty have something?"

Gao Yang tested the waters, his tone full of implication.

Wu Zhao was stunned for a moment, then her brows suddenly relaxed, and her expression became strange, "Is the Assistant Secretary referring to a reward?"

The smile on Gao Yang's face became more and more brilliant, but his words were even more righteous: "Look at what Your Majesty is saying, am I that kind of person?"

"I just wanted to ask about using Prince Rong to set a trap to fish out the remnants of the court. Your Majesty thinking of me like this is truly heartbreaking, heartbreaking!"

Wu Zhao's expression was strange, and Shangguan Wan'er's mouth twitched.

Wu Zhao stood with her hands behind her back, "I have my own arrangements for the Prince Rong matter, Assistant Secretary, you don't need to worry."

"But I have always rewarded merits and punished faults!"

"You helped me get rid of the big trouble of Prince Rong and offered such a brilliant plan, so you should be rewarded!"

"Prince Rong's Prefecture has been controlled by me and has not been raided yet. You are also good at the way of merchants, so you will be responsible for this matter."

"Go, raid Prince Rong's Prefecture for me from top to bottom."

Wu Zhao said with deep meaning.

When Gao Yang heard this, his spirit was instantly lifted.

Prince Rong had power over the court, so there must be countless good things in his prefecture. This is a lucky errand.

Moreover, ever since he traveled through time, he hadn't raided a house yet, so his curiosity couldn't be suppressed.

"I thank Your Majesty for your holy grace!"

Wu Zhao said again, "Go, I will send someone to assist you."

When Gao Yang heard this, he was suddenly like being splashed with a basin of cold water; this was clearly to supervise him.

He could only act according to the situation and take some valuable treasures.

After Gao Yang left, Shangguan Wan'er said with some worry, "Your Majesty, Prince Rong had power over the court, so the wealth in his prefecture must be amazing. Why didn't you let me go, but let Assistant Secretary Gao go?"

"If he goes, I think he will definitely embezzle!"

Wu Zhao watched Gao Yang's departing back and said lightly, "I already told you this reason before."

"For a pillar of talent like Gao Yang, I am not afraid of him being greedy; I am afraid of him not being greedy, and I am afraid of him having no weaknesses."

Shangguan Wan'er nodded, looking enlightened, "So Your Majesty did it on purpose?"

Wu Zhao withdrew her phoenix eyes and nodded, "That's right. I need him to work for me, not only to weaken the vassals and strengthen the country, but also to balance the six kingdoms! Where in the world is there a reason to let the horse run without giving it grass to eat?"

"Your Majesty's words are reasonable, but Assistant Secretary Gao dared to hint to County Magistrate Du right under my nose. I am just afraid he will go too far."

Shangguan Wan'er looked worried. She acknowledged Gao Yang's ability, but she really couldn't rest assured about his character.

Wu Zhao smiled confidently, "How could I not have thought of this?"

"I said I would send a team to assist, but in fact, it is to keep him from going too far. Commander of the Imperial Guards Li Long has always been upright and clean, and cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes, so let him go together."

"With Gao Yang under his nose, even if he embezzles, how much can he embezzle?"

Wu Zhao stood in the Imperial Garden with her hands behind her back, her face full of confidence.

Shangguan Wan'er also said one after another, "Your Majesty is wise!"
