Chapter 602

~8 min read 1,457 words

Thirty thousand taels!

That's thirty thousand taels; it's enough to order twenty at once, and maybe even more!

Gao Yang: "..."

On the side, Green Radish said with some worry, "Eldest Young Master, but you pointed out the big problem of land annexation to the Prince of Yan and want to help him solve it; if this reaches the Emperor's ears..."

"Thirty thousand taels is not worth it! It's better to sell a few more poems to the eldest prince of Zhao Guo!"

Green Radish's fair face was full of worry, her beautiful eyes looking at Gao Yang.

Gao Yang smiled, then reached out and pinched Green Radish's small face, causing her face to blush.

"Eldest Young Master, there are people here!"

Green Radish's voice was like a mosquito, and she lowered her head.

"Hehe, you don't have to treat me as a person." Gao Changwen said with a fake smile.

"Why? Worried about me, Eldest Young Master?" Gao Yang said with a smile.

Green Radish's face turned red, and she quickly looked away, "Eldest Young Master, the servant girl is just afraid that the Emperor will be furious."

Gao Changwen tightened his face, feeling very hurt, "No, you really don't treat me as a person; it's very obvious there is another person in this carriage!"

*Cough cough! *

Outside the carriage, Chen Sheng, who was responsible for driving, also coughed.

Green Radish's face turned even redder.

Seeing this, Gao Yang knew that Green Radish was thin-skinned, so he didn't tease her anymore.

He said calmly, "Chen Sheng, go to the palace!"

"I want to see the Emperor!"

Green Radish let out a cry of surprise, "Eldest Young Master, it's so late now, you still want to enter the palace?"

"The Emperor should be resting, right?"

Gao Yang said very firmly, "I have important matters to discuss; if the Emperor is resting, just wake her up. What's the harm in that?"

Gao Changwen immediately looked at him with admiration, "Brother is truly a model for us; I admire you very much!"

Is this the arrogance of a scholar?

Even the Emperor can be ignored?

Green Radish suddenly seemed to have figured it out; she looked at Gao Yang fiercely, "Eldest Young Master, is there a hidden mystery in this so-called land annexation?"

Gao Yang showed a faint smile on his face and said to Green Radish, "Green Radish, you have a misunderstanding; who told you that you must do things after taking money in this world?"

Green Radish's pupils widened.

Isn't this... supposed to be the case?

Gao Yang said gloomily, "I want to hug the Emperor's big white legs tightly now, so whether it's the eldest prince of Zhao Guo or the Prince of Yan!"

"I must strike them desperately; this is the foundation of survival."

"But this does not prevent me from taking money; on the contrary, this is the highest realm of a corrupt official. The Emperor doesn't care about me taking money; she cares about the result."

"For example, I am the magistrate of Taoyuan County, a remote county. I take money from everyone I see; I am a big corrupt official, but Taoyuan County's population has exceeded one million, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the tax of one county is more than that of a prefecture!"

"Then what's wrong with me being a bit corrupt?"

Upon hearing this, Green Radish's expression was shocked.

Gao Yang's words buzzed in her mind.

"But the eldest prince of Zhao Guo, the Prince of Yan, they..."

Green Radish's voice was low and hesitant.

Gao Yang shook his head; although Green Radish had changed somewhat under his influence, she was still too simple.

He said calmly, "Green Radish, you are still too young and see human nature too shallowly. This world is not simply divided into black and white, good and bad; people are the most complex creatures in the world."

"Don't look at how we are talking happily now, but if I don't strike first, do you believe that after this Prince of Yan becomes Emperor, in order to eliminate me, he will tell the Emperor about me taking money and helping him solve land annexation?"

"In terms of innocence, are the people not innocent? But whether it is noble families or merchants of the world, the first to be exploited is the people!"

"Looking at the radicals, everything has long been said!"

"People, just two strokes!"

"..."

At the same time.

Cui family.

Cui Xinghe was in his official robes, holding a book in his hand.

He paced back and forth in the small courtyard, his brows almost twisted into a 'chuan' shape.

Since the assassination, Cui Xinghe had felt a sense of urgency and also understood the female Emperor's choice.

This feeling was something he absolutely could not tolerate!

But Gao Yang's official position was higher than his, the Dingguo Duke's mansion had more power than the Cui family, and the female Emperor trusted Gao Yang even more.

He had no advantage at all.

If he wanted not to be a scapegoat for Gao Yang and wanted to break the situation, there was only one way left, and that was to show his own value!

As long as he, Cui Xinghe, was more valuable to the female Emperor than Gao Yang, he could break the situation and even have the possibility of fighting back!

Therefore, he must come up with an earth-shattering national policy that would shock the female Emperor!

Only in this way could he break the situation!

But how easy is that?

He had stood here for a whole day, and now he felt that he was just a little bit away; as long as he figured this out, he could directly break the situation!

"Son, it's night, it's not early, go and rest quickly. Gao Yang's talent, even looking at the entire seven kingdoms, is second to none!"

"In my heart, although you have the bearing of a prime minister, compared to this Gao Yang, you are still a notch weaker!"

"We cannot fight him."

Cui Jian said earnestly on the side.

But Cui Xinghe remained unmoved, his jade-like face full of thought.

Seeing this, Cui Jian felt heartache in his heart.

This is all Gao Yang's fault!

Suddenly, he said in a deep voice, "The Cui family doesn't have much money; I will find other families tomorrow to borrow a sum of money and spend a lot of money to buy this living Yama's life!"

"I don't believe no one will be tempted!"

Cui Jian was full of killing intent!

As soon as these words came out, Cui Xinghe was startled, and his eyes looked over suddenly.

"Borrow?"

He was stunned, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Haha!"

"I figured it out, I finally figured it out!"

"Master Cui, I've succeeded!!!"

"Gao Yang, once this method comes out, even you will have to bow down. I just said, I, Cui Xinghe, am not worse than anyone!"

Cui Xinghe laughed crazily, acting like he was crazy.

At this moment, his thoughts were clear, and his whole body was filled with endless domineering spirit.

"Son, don't scare your father!"

Cui Jian panicked; he pointed to a big black dog lying in the corner and turned to the servant, "Raise a dog for a thousand days, use it for a moment; quickly slaughter this big black dog for me and splash a bowl of black dog blood for Xinghe!"

"Dad, I'm not crazy; I just figured out an eternal problem. This time, my Cui family will surely shine throughout Changan!"

"The Cui family genealogy will also open a new page from my name, Cui Xinghe!"

"Once this plan comes out, even that living Yama will have to bow down. Dad, I'm going to the palace now. Doesn't Father still have a concubine who hasn't entered the door? I see she is still charming!"

After speaking, Cui Xinghe strode out of the Cui family; his steps were firm, and his whole person was overflowing with unparalleled confidence!

Cui Jian watched Cui Xinghe's back, full of shock.

"Master, should I still kill this big black dog?"

"Once this plan is put into motion, even that Living Yama will have to bow down in defeat. Father, I am heading to the palace now. Doesn't Father still have a concubine who has yet to enter the household? I saw that she still possesses quite a bit of charm!"

After saying this, Cui Xinghe strode out of the Cui residence. His steps were firm, and his entire being radiated unparalleled confidence!

Cui Jian watched Cui Xinghe's retreating figure, his face full of shock.

"Master, should we still kill this big black dog?"
