Chapter 917: Wu Zhao

"Minister Gao, this plan of yours is truly ruthless!"

"Once launched, the greedy merchants of the world will surely move upon hearing the news. Once the commoners of the Zhao Kingdom are all involved, it will be a terrifying disaster!"

"Within the Zhao Kingdom, there will surely be blood and misery! I hear it and feel it is ruthless, feel it violates the Heavenly Dao, and feel happy!"

Wu Zhao's pair of eyes stared at Gao Yang, and then her voice rang out.

Gao Feng also couldn't help but look at Gao Yang, his eyelids twitching.

This son of his was indeed extraordinary. To say he was devastating and inhumane, he was actually very filial, knowing to buy him two oranges. To say he was filial, he could so calmly speak of such a ruthless poison plan!

Gao Yang's expression was calm, and he bowed to Wu Zhao, "Since Your Majesty likes it, then this subject will go down and prepare."

"Within two days, the price of Zhao Gao will surely rise rapidly, and this poison plan to destroy the Zhao Kingdom will officially begin."

After speaking, Gao Yang wanted to slip away.

But Wu Zhao suddenly said, "Minister Gao, wait a moment; I have one more thing to discuss with you."

Gao Yang's footsteps stopped, and then he stared at Wu Zhao with curiosity.

Wu Zhao said indifferently, "Xu Xiang colluded with Great Chu, secretly smuggling Da Qian weapons and armor, a crime that cannot be pardoned. This position of Prime Minister is now vacant!"

"But the Prime Minister, above serving the Emperor and below controlling the civil and military officials, is one person below ten thousand, having an indescribable effect on the country and the society!"

"Therefore, I intend to determine the candidate for the position of Prime Minister!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Gao Yang's eyes lit up instantly.

"Prime Minister?"

He had been eyeing this official position for a long time; the Chancellor is the head of all officials, governing the entire bureaucracy, and can be said to possess monstrous power, the number one person beneath the imperial authority!

Some powerful chancellors were even honored as Prime Ministers; although there is only a one-character difference between Chancellor and Prime Minister, the significance is worlds apart!

The latter even has the ability to depose an emperor!

Once Xu Xiang fell, he felt a bit impatient. Just from the identity, this was a huge transformation!

Gao Feng was also shocked, his eyes staring at Gao Yang, a huge wave rising in his heart, somewhat unbelievable.

What does Your Majesty mean?

Could it be that she wants to appoint this unfilial son as Prime Minister to supervise all officials?

Gao Yang had just reached adulthood not long ago; was this speed of promotion too terrifying?

Gao Feng's heart was very complex, having pride, but also a sense of frustration that the father is not as good as the son, and even thinking that in front of all officials, he would not be called "Lord Gao," but "Prime Minister Gao"—this feeling was even stranger.

"Your Majesty's words are very true!"

"Without a Prime Minister, Your Majesty's pressure is truly too great. We must find a capable minister to share some of it, otherwise, this subject feels heartache just looking at it!"

Gao Yang said righteously, his pair of eyes staring tightly at Wu Zhao.

A smile also appeared on Wu Zhao's face, her slender fingers slowly tapping on the armrest of the dragon throne.

Compared to some officials who clearly want it but are humble in every way, she prefers Gao Yang's straightforward nature.

There is not a trace of distraction in these eyes, only desire. ===== CHAPTER 919 =====
