Chapter 400: Wu Zhao's intention, everyone caught off guard

Inside the Jin Luan Hall.

The voices of the two sounded.

At this moment, even the dullest officials sensed the storm hidden beneath the calm.

The double act of Wang Zhong and Wang Hao pointed directly at the disposal of the prisoners.

Especially Xu Xuanji, Song Li, and others, their hearts were as clear as a mirror.

There were too many Chu army prisoners; Da Qian's grain could feed them for ten days or half a month, but they couldn't keep feeding them!

But so many people couldn't be incorporated into the army, and it was even more impossible to return them to Chu.

Everyone knew this!

The direction of this play, pointing at whom, the answer was self-evident.

Gao Yang glanced at Wang Zhong and Wang Hao, his gaze cold.

He truly didn't expect that just after the war ended, Wang Zhong, who had just returned from Guanzhong, couldn't wait to design against him.

He had a lot of nerve!

However, Gao Yang had already thought about this long ago.

Gao Tianlong not letting him come to court was also realizing this problem, wanting to resist it for him.

The old foxes in this court were one more treacherous than the other.

At this time, Gao Tianlong took a deep breath and stepped forward.

Seeing Gao Tianlong's action, Gao Yang also stood out.

But just at this moment, Wu Zhao's voice sounded.

"The problem mentioned by Old General Wang is exactly the problem I want to discuss with you all today!"

"My character doesn't like to cover things up, so I'll just say it directly."

"I have decided to pit-kill these Chu army prisoners; what do you all think?"

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes swept across the officials, her cold voice sweeping through the entire Jin Luan Hall.

In an instant.

All the officials were shocked!

Song Li looked up suddenly.

Xu Xuanji and Lu Wen looked incredulous.

Even Wang Zhong was stunned.

He widened his eyes, his throat dry, "Your Majesty, you want to pit-kill these Chu army prisoners?"

Wang Zhong was directly paralyzed.

His conspiracy was aimed at Gao Yang!

But how could Wu Zhao jump out!

This left Wang Zhong unable to figure it out.

Gao Tianlong was also moved, and even Gao Yang's eyes fell on Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao's words were something no one had expected.

A generation of Emperor proposing to pit-kill prisoners, this is destined to bear the infamy!

Yan Zheng stood out and said, "Your Majesty, this move must not be done!"

"With so many prisoners, once pit-killed, there will definitely be a backlash!"

For a time, a group of censors stepped forward to stop her.

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes swept across the group of censors, and she said faintly, "These prisoners, as Old General Wang said, can neither be incorporated into the army nor settled in the rear of Da Qian."

"And there isn't enough grain to let them eat and drink for free, so it's better to pit-kill them all, once and for all!"

"This sin of killing, I don't need anyone to carry it for me; I alone am enough!"

"Do you have any better solutions?"

Wu Zhao's voice swept through, making the officials silent.

Seeing this, Wang Zhong couldn't say anything either.

His scheme was to pit Gao Yang, but Wu Zhao stood out, so the impact he brought fell on Wu Zhao.

Not only did he not get revenge, but he also brought trouble upon himself!

But he was also puzzled.

This shouldn't be.

There's no reason for Wu Zhao not to know that once she bears the sin of killing prisoners, she will be spurned by the world and cursed in history books.

This heaven-sized black pot should be carried by a subject, and Gao Yang is the best candidate.

Is she protecting the subjects of Da Qian, or protecting Gao Yang alone?

Not very good!

Inside the Jin Luan Hall.

Dead silence.

Gao Yang said, "Your Majesty, this scheme is wonderful; I support pit-killing the prisoners, once and for all!"

"However, I think we should pick out the old, weak, sick, and disabled among them and take care of them carefully, otherwise it's too inhumane!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The officials were all stunned.

Even Wu Zhao was stunned.

Since when did Da Qian's number one poison strategist care about the old, weak, sick, and disabled?

"Your words make me a bit surprised; I feel, do you still have something left unsaid?"
