Chapter 79

Wu Zhao sipped her tea and continued, "Alright, say what you want. I have always rewarded merit, and I will never treat the meritorious officials of Da Qian harshly."

"Then I want a token to avoid disaster for these few days."

Gao Yang said.

This aroused Wu Zhao's interest, and she asked curiously: "Avoid disaster?"

Gao Yang sighed, "This is all thanks to Official Shangguan. The normal human interaction between me and Official Du was hard-heartedly tricked by Official Shangguan."

"My father hasn't opened the tea box until now. If three or five friends go to the mansion and want to drink tea on a whim, I'm afraid that without a token to protect myself, I will never see Your Majesty again."

"Furthermore, Your Majesty also knows that I am a poisonous strategist and act quite cautiously!"

From the moment Wu Zhao kept him in the Imperial Garden, he had been looking for an opportunity to ask for an amulet, but he never had the chance.

Now that he had the chance, Gao Yang naturally wouldn't be polite.

Shangguan Wan'er looked away. She did indeed do this matter unfairly, and now that it was mentioned to her face, she was still a bit embarrassed.

Wu Zhao also knew about this matter and smiled, "You are truly worthy of the identity of a poisonous strategist who plots for himself; you are indeed cautious."

Wu Zhao untied a token from her waist and said, "This is my personal token. Seeing this token is like seeing me in person!"

"Tell Vice Minister Gao that the child is grown up and is a pillar of Da Qian, so it is no longer appropriate to beat him."

Gao Yang took the token from Wu Zhao's hand, his face showing joy. The token was cold all over and made of black iron; it looked very extraordinary.

"I thank Your Majesty."

With the amulet in hand, his heart settled down a lot.

"Go down, I am tired."

Wu Zhao waved her hand.

Gao Yang bowed and withdrew, "I withdraw!"

Following Gao Yang's movements, several eunuchs immediately stepped forward to lead the way for Gao Yang.

Wu Zhao stood up, her phoenix eyes landing on Gao Yang's back.

"Prince Rong has been recuperating for so many days. Send a royal physician to see him later. If he has recuperated enough, he should attend court tomorrow. Many corrupt officials in the world have had a lot of silver enter his mansion. Since I have Gao Yang's brilliant plan, it would be too boring if I didn't see the expression on his face!"

Shangguan Wan'er's heart was shaken, and she said quickly, "Yes!"

A smile suddenly bloomed on Wu Zhao's noble face, and she muttered to herself, "The grandson of the Duke of the State hides quite deeply."

"With such great talent, he pretends to be no different from a playboy, even deceiving me. The Duke of the State's mansion can be considered to have successors!"

Shangguan Wan'er hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty thinks highly of this Gao Yang?"

Wu Zhao nodded, "With his talent, he can be the Prime Minister of Da Qian."

"Even if Cui Xinghe and Prime Minister Xu are added together, they are slightly inferior to Gao Yang!"

"What?"

Shangguan Wan'er looked surprised.

Although she also felt that Gao Yang had talent, she didn't expect Wu Zhao's evaluation of Gao Yang to be so high!

Wu Zhao said quietly, "But this person's advantages and disadvantages are very obvious."

"The advantage is that he understands people's hearts and has a very strong manipulation of human nature, with world-shaking talent."

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Wu Zhao with curiosity.

"Your Majesty, what about the disadvantages?"

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "Greedy for money and lustful, neither is lacking. In the past few hours, he glanced at your chest twenty-five times, but he glanced at my legs a full one hundred and seventy-three times."
