Chapter 831

Wu Zhao's eyes became colder, and she said, "Gao Yang has bled and worked for my Da Qian. Now that his life or death is unknown, how can I give up?"

Xu Xuanji stood straight and said without showing weakness, "Four days have passed, Lord Gao must have been harmed."

"Even if Your Majesty continues to investigate, it will only be a waste of manpower and material resources. This is not the act of a sage monarch!"

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes were cold, and she said, "Sage monarch?"

"What is a sage monarch? Is it a sage monarch in the history books to see death and not save, and put profit first in everything?"

Xu Xuanji wanted exactly this effect.

If Wu Zhao bowed her head to him, then his authority as Prime Minister would be even greater, and the people would be grateful to him. If Wu Zhao did not bow her head, it would also show that he had tried his best, and he could also harvest a wave of popular support. Conversely, the complaints of the people would make Wu Zhao lose popular support.

Power games always start from the subtle details.

Xu Xuanji said, "If Your Majesty insists on going your own way, then this subject can only die to remonstrate!"

Once the death remonstrance was spoken, the officials were all shocked.

Wu Zhao smiled instantly and said, "It seems I was wrong."

"What about you officials? Let me see, do you also feel that my move is a waste of money and people, and support Prime Minister Xu?"

The officials looked at each other, and then some officials couldn't help but step forward and stand out.

"This subject seconds the motion!"

"This subject seconds the motion!"

Almost instantly, some officials stood out, bowing and arching their hands toward Wu Zhao.

Shangguan Wan'er silently scanned the officials, silently recording the names of all the officials who seconded Prime Minister Xu, so she could hand them to Gao Yang.

Wang Zhong also stepped forward and said to Wu Zhao with a painful face, "Your Majesty, this subject first declares one point: I am extremely pained."

"In this subject's heart, Lord Gao is the Tiger of Da Qian, the Light of Da Qian. Although this subject had gaps and misunderstandings with Lord Gao, this does not affect this old man's admiration for Lord Gao, which is like the surging river, endless!"

"Since Lord Gao was attacked, this old man hasn't eaten well or slept well, and even every night, I can't help but cry bitterly!"

"I hate that Da Qian has lost the strongest poisonous scholar, I hate that the person who died wasn't me!"

"Lord Gao, how I wish to see you one more time, Lord Gao!"

Wang Zhong thumped his chest with a thud, squeezing out a few tears from the corners of his eyes.

But just then, a voice sounded from outside the hall. ===== CHAPTER 833 =====
