NOVEL NEXT Chapter 37
The king of the country was defeated, and the king was defeated.
"Gao Yang, you are so bold. Locusts are so dirty. You dared to let His Majesty eat locusts. You deserve to be killed!"
Lei Yun, the Minister of Punishment, was suddenly furious and scolded.
He looked righteous and took the lead to step forward.
This also made the ministers in the imperial study speak out.
Prime Minister Xu Xuanji stepped forward and said, "Locusts are pests. Your Majesty is the emperor. How can you eat these pests!"
"This Gao Yang is too rude. Your Majesty, please punish him severely!"
Wang Zhong's face suddenly lit up. He said repeatedly, "Your Majesty, this Gao Yang is a culpable person. Please punish him severely!"
For a moment, a group of ministers stood up and scolded Gao Yang.
Gao Feng also looked at Gao Yang with disbelief.
"Evil son, stop talking nonsense!"
It's okay for you to be a living king of hell for locusts.
But you want to be a living king of hell for your own family, and want to send all nine clans away?
Let the empress eat locusts. Even if Wu Zhao really ate locusts for the victims, the people of the world really survived this disaster.
But will the empress settle accounts later?
Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. His son's political sensitivity is still too poor!
Yan Zheng also widened his eyes.
The court and the public all said he was bold, but compared to Gao Yang, he was nothing.
He didn't dare to say that.
On the dragon throne, Wu Zhao was also stunned.
"What?"
"Let me eat locusts myself?"
Wu Zhao's mind suddenly appeared the hideous face of locusts, let alone eating them.
Even a glance at them made her feel sick.
Facing a crowd of rebukes, Gao Yang's face remained unchanged, and his eyes looked straight at Wu Zhao.
"Your Majesty, what Lord Yan said is indeed a big problem."
"The people believe in the so-called locust god, or the locust plague is a punishment from heaven, which cannot be stopped by human power, so many people just kneel beside the fertile fields and watch the locusts sweep by, which will undoubtedly lead to more and more locusts!"
"The people's cognition must be broken, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Gao Yang's voice rang out.
Wu Zhao took a deep look at Gao Yang and took a deep breath.
She is the emperor of Daqian, the ruler of all people.
The millions of people in Guanzhong are all her Wu Zhao's people.
Although locusts are disgusting, and even thinking about them makes you want to vomit, for the sake of millions of people, for the sake of preventing the people from cannibalism after the locust plague.
What's wrong with eating them, Wu Zhao!
As Gao Yang continued to speak, the officials continued to scold.
"Gao Yang, you are so bold!"
"Your heart should be killed!"
But Wu Zhao suddenly said, "Enough!"
"For the sake of the people of the world, I am willing to eat locusts in public!"
Wu Zhao took a deep breath, and her phoenix eyes swept across the ministers.
A word out, aroused thousands of waves.
All the ministers looked at Wu Zhao in shock.
They didn't expect Wu Zhao to really risk it. Those were locusts. Not to mention that Wu Zhao was the empress of Daqian, a woman.
Even the men would find it hard to eat them.
Gao Yang couldn't help but look up to Wu Zhao. For the sake of the people in Guanzhong, Wu Zhao was really willing to risk her life.
This empress really loves the people.
Shangguan Wan'er saw this and couldn't help but said, "But your majesty, Guanzhong is far away from Chang'an. Your majesty is still in charge of the court. How can you go to Guanzhong?"
Wu Zhao frowned when she heard this.
She had just ascended the throne not long ago, and the government was unstable. Not to mention the vassal kings, even Chang'an was undercurrent.
At this time, she absolutely could not leave Chang'an.
Wu Zhao's eyes fell on Gao Yang.
"Gao Yang, I have to stay in Chang'an and cannot go to Guanzhong in person. Is there any other way?"
Gao Yang frowned, "I missed this point. This is really difficult."
"If Your Majesty cannot go to Guanzhong, the people will still believe that the locust plague is a punishment from heaven, a natural disaster, and a punishment from the Locust God, and will not take action to kill the locusts."
"I am afraid that when the locust plague sweeps across, not only will Guanzhong be affected, but also the three counties nearby, and tens of millions of people will not be spared."
Wu Zhao clenched her fists, and only the three counties and tens of millions of people were buzzing in her mind.
For some reason, Wang Zhong looked at Gao Yang, who looked difficult, and a bad premonition surged in his heart again.
Cui Xinghe also realized that something was wrong.
This reaction was a bit unlike Gao Yang's style.
What bad things is this guy holding in his stomach?
At this time, Gao Yang suddenly looked at Wang Zhong.
Wang Zhong happened to look at Gao Yang, the old man and the young man, their eyes intertwined in the air.
"
You kid, look at what I do! Wang Zhong said angrily.
His majestic Polu General has become a Piaoji General, why do you still care about him?
Wang Zhong moved back, but Gao Yang's eyes followed Wang Zhong.
Wu Zhao also suddenly looked at Wang Zhong, a pair of phoenix eyes twinkling.
"I have another idea. Since Your Majesty cannot come in person, General Wang Zhong will hold His Majesty's imperial edict and eat locusts in front of the people as if Your Majesty is here in person. He will claim to be the reincarnation of the Locust-Destroying Immortal. All the sins of Locust-Destroying Immortal will be imputed to him. It’s not impossible to do it physically.”
"It's just that the locusts are ugly and uncomfortable. I don't know if General Wang is willing to do so."
Gao Yang asked with a hint of green tea.
Wang Zhong's eyes widened.
If it weren't for the Imperial Study Room, he would have wanted to curse.
From your mother and maidservant!
Does he still have a choice?
The empress Wu Zhaoyi wanted to eat locusts for the sake of the people, but he didn't want to?
Do you still want to live?
If word of this spreads, his saliva will drown him!
"Old General Wang is old. This..."
Wu Zhao took a deep look at Gao Yang and understood everything. She looked at Wang Zhong.
Wang Zhong's old face twitched violently, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "For the sake of the people in Guanzhong, the last general...the last general will do my duty!"
"It's just locusts. Your Majesty, don't worry. When you get to Guanzhong at the end of the day, eat a pound of wine first!"
Wu Zhao said with an moved expression, "General Wang is really a good general. I am deeply moved. When General Wang returns this time, I will personally take care of you!"
Wang Zhong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
In short, I was cheated, so I might as well be more relaxed and get some benefits.
But General Biji, and the locust-eating locusts, he remembered.
From your mother and maidservant!
He must avenge this!
The expressions of the officials changed, and the eyes they looked at Gao Yang changed.
Until now, they still don't know that Gao Yang is trying to trick Wang Zhong.
It's all part of his plan.
He knew clearly that Wu Zhao could not go to Guanzhong in person, but he deliberately proposed to eat locusts to break the people's superstition, so as to lure them into anger.
Then take advantage of the situation and throw the pot to Wang Zhong!
At this time, Wang Zhong had no choice.
If you don't eat the locusts, then you have nothing to do with the millions of people in your heart, and they are not willing to eliminate disasters for Wu Zhao. At the worst, they will be demoted from Chang'an!
This kid is so cruel!
Everyone sighed secretly.
Cui Xinghe on the side also had cold sweat on his forehead.
This Gao Yang has a strong desire for revenge!
Gao Yang smiled and said, "If General Wang is old, I have a more suitable candidate in mind."
"Oh?" Wang Zhong looked a little surprised, and he didn't expect Gao Yang to be so kind.
"Tell me and listen."
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, so of course the emperor's relatives are also allowed, such as Prince Rong, Wulong, and all the vassal kings in the world. It is also possible for the Shangguan Lord next to your Majesty to go on your behalf."
When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and her beautiful face changed.
She couldn't help but feel sick at the thought of eating locusts.
This is revenge, revenge for that.
Wang Zhong was startled by each name.
"No need, I, Wang Zhong, am enough!"
Needless to say, he is a relative of the emperor. Although he is a general, he cannot be offended.
Although Shangguan Wan'er was not a relative of the emperor, she had been with Wu Zhao since she was a child. It was rumored both in the government and in the public that His Majesty did not like men.
Shangguan Wan'er might not be able to win first, but he couldn't afford to offend her.
Otherwise, it really doesn't matter, he will be miserable.
