Chapter 424: Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the hundred officials are shocked

Upon hearing the voice, Lu Wen looked at Gao Feng instantly.

Can such a lie be forcibly testified?

"Lord Gao, you weren't like this before."

Gao Feng's expression remained unchanged, and he said coldly: "Minister Lu, what I said is the truth. You publicly slandered the people of my Duke of the State's Prefecture in the court. You must apologize!"

Lu Wen didn't expect Gao Feng to be so shameless.

Lu Zhen also spoke, "The Gao family brat is pure by nature and has never had a lie in his mouth. This must be a misunderstanding!"

Lu Wen looked at Lu Zhen, and his lips began to tremble.

"Old General Lu, even you..."

Lu Zhen looked at his nose and his heart, and didn't even look at Lu Wen.

But there was no way. His granddaughter was eager to confess herself. Since they were family, he certainly had to cooperate!

Gao Yang began to make a follow-up attack, "For this spinning wheel game, I heard that a box of White Jade Sugar requires twelve strings of cash. For ordinary commoners, this is a year's wages. It is a game of luck in itself!"

"If Lady Lu's luck is good enough, and she draws one thousand wen eleven times on the first spinning wheel, and only needs to draw one hundred wen ten times in a row on the second spinning wheel, then it only takes twenty people!"

"I think the person behind this spinning wheel game has a kind heart!"

Shangguan Wan'er's body swayed, and she almost couldn't stand firm.

Drawing one thousand wen eleven times in a row, and then drawing one hundred wen ten times in a row—if there really is such a person in the world, she would have to kill them for Wu Zhao to cut the weeds and remove the roots!

But she also admired Gao Yang's shamelessness.

Whether it was saying Chen Sheng peeked at him bathing or finally blaming Lady Lu's luck, his face didn't even turn red.

Wu Zhao glanced at Lu Wen and saw his face flushed red, his fists clenched, and his whole body trembling.

She was afraid that Lu Wen would be so angry that he would faint, so she said, "I will send someone to investigate this matter, and I will naturally give Minister Lu an explanation then!"

"In addition, I want to announce one thing today."

As Wu Zhao spoke, everyone stopped talking in unison.

On the contrary, they were curious.

Wu Zhao's gaze fell on Gao Yang, and she spoke.

"In the past, I posted a decree to seek talents and recruit talents from all over the world, and specially emphasized that those who have extraordinary merit must wait for extraordinary people. The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue has lowered grain prices in Linjiang City, quelled the locust plague in Guanzhong, and made illustrious merit in the defense of Changancheng!"

"If I don't value the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, wouldn't I be a laughingstock to the scholars of the world?"

Almost in one word, the gazes of the hundred officials looked at Wu Zhao in unison, especially the faces of Wang Zhong, Xu Xuanji, and others changed wildly.

They gathered their gazes on Wu Zhao. It was obvious that they were going to promote Gao Yang.

And this tone, at the very least, was a promotion of three levels!

Not to mention Wang Zhong and others, even Gao Yang's eyes suddenly lit up.

Sure enough, high risk is accompanied by high returns. The pie Wu Zhao drew was about to be realized.

He was also a little curious about Wu Zhao's courage!

"Minister Ding of the Ministry of Revenue is in poor health and has been reporting illness for many days. He has already submitted a memorial to me to return to his hometown, but the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is one of the six ministries, in charge of the money of the world, and cannot be without a master for a day!"

"Therefore, I have decided to promote Gao Yang exceptionally to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of my Great Qian. What do you ministers think?"

Hum!

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a thunderbolt from the nine heavens resounding in the minds of the hundred officials, shaking them until they were at a loss!

They widened their eyes, and a stormy sea surged in their hearts!

How old is Gao Yang?

According to the Great Qian's coming-of-age at twenty, Gao Yang is not yet an adult!

A nineteen-year-old Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, let alone looking at the Great Qian, even counting the thousand-year history of the seven kingdoms, it is simply unheard of!

Lu Wen was stupid!

Gao Yang is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?

This is higher than his position as a Dali Temple Minister!

And among the six ministries, the Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the promotion of officials and is known as the head of the six ministries, followed by the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the silver of the world, measuring land, collecting taxes to fill the national treasury, and even their salaries have to pass through the Ministry of Revenue!

He just impeached Gao Yang. According to Gao Yang's character of reporting every grievance, can he have a good life in the future?

Wang Zhong, Xu Xuanji, and Minister of the Ministry of War Wang Hao also widened their eyes!

Their hands were also trembling!

Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, plus the trust of the Empress, one can imagine Gao Yang's status in the court in the future.

They looked at each other, wanting to stop it.

Gao Feng's hand also trembled, and a stormy sea surged in his heart.

Is his son going to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?

You know, he, as a father, has been in this position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for decades!

Thinking that Gao Yang would sit in the main seat in the Ministry of Revenue in the future, and he would sit in the side seat, looking at this evil son's cheap smile, his whole person was not good, as if ants were crawling on his body.

The hundred officials couldn't help but explode, discussing in low voices.

Wu Zhao also took a breath in her heart, her phoenix eyes majestic.

Although Gao Yang has made great merit, he is too young. If he wants to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the resistance is self-evident, especially since Gao Yang has offended quite a few people.

Lu Wen and Wang Zhong looked at Xu Xuanji first.

The meaning in their eyes was very simple: You are the Prime Minister, you take the lead!

Xu Xuanji's eyes flickered. Everyone present was a human essence. As the saying goes, robbing people of their wealth is like killing their parents, not to mention the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!

He didn't have a private feud with Gao Yang on the surface, but once he stood out, it would be different.

He could still remember the death of the Prince of Rong.

He didn't want Gao Yang to come up with a vicious plan, making him eat pig feces first and then die aggrieved.

Xu Xuanji looked at Wang Hao, and the meaning was also very simple: "In the defense of Changancheng, Gao Yang could be the temporary Minister of the Ministry of War and show off his style. Doesn't this make you look like trash? Can you endure this?"

Wang Hao's face turned green.

He wanted to stop it, but the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War under him was abolished by Wu Zhao not long ago. If he blocked Gao Yang's way, what if Gao Yang was transferred to the Ministry of War? Would he still have a life?

He looked at Wang Zhong and pursed his lips, hinting: "You are the Great General of the Cavalry, and you eat locusts with wine every day. In terms of grievance, you are the most aggrieved. If you don't go up, who will?"

Wang Zhong gritted his teeth and finally looked at Cui Xinghe. ===== CHAPTER 426 =====
