I, the strongest poisoner, am called the living king of hell by the empress

The king was so angry that he trembled all over, and his eyes were wide open.

He was going to use a killer move on Wu Zhao, but Gao Yang was the first to complain, so he was speechless.

Even now, scolding Wu Zhao would make it seem that Wu Zhao was so gracious and he was ungrateful.

Sure enough, the person who wronged you knew your injustice better than anyone else, especially Gao Yang, who attacked his weak spot.

This pair of monarch and minister was absolutely amazing!

Wu Long was dragged down and put back into the prison.

In the huge Jinluan Palace, compliments were heard one after another.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty is so gracious!"

Song Li, Cui Xinghe and other ministers all looked at Gao Yang with strange eyes.

Even Gao Feng had a complicated expression.

Gao Yang's wickedness of complaining first made him feel familiar.

Although they were political enemies, he could sense the frustration of Prince Rong.

The cooperation between his wicked son and the empress was perfect.

Now that Prince Rong fell, the empress was in power, and countless corrupt officials in the world would tremble in fear.

Gao Feng was silent.

Fortunately, this wicked son was his son.

Prince Rong really fell down.

Officials were not fools, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a struggle between Prince Rong and the imperial power.

It was just that Wu Zetian acted faster and more ruthlessly.

But Wu Zetian handled it beautifully. As long as she could give an explanation to the world, it would be enough. Even the history books would write it beautifully.

With the case of witchcraft, Prince Rong was solved without bloodshed, and for the sake of the royal family's grace and the contributions of Prince Rong throughout the generations, he was spared.

And some officials with a keen sense of smell also knew one thing, that this case of witchcraft would sweep across Daqian and wipe out Prince Rong's followers.

Prince Rong's fall was not terrible. Anyone who dared to stand in Wu Zetian's way was an accomplice in the case of witchcraft. This was the most terrifying part of the case of witchcraft.

"Prince Rong's matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for conviction."

Lei Yun, the Minister of Justice, hurried forward, "I obey your order."

Wu Zetian looked at Lei Yun with deep meaning.

Lei Yun, the Minister of Justice, and Prince Rong are not close. Using Prince Rong to fish can also test Lei Yun's loyalty, which is killing two birds with one stone.

"My dear ministers, is there anything else?

Wu Zhao sat on the dragon throne, her eyes majestic.

She looked down at the civil and military officials in the court, and an unprecedented sense of pride arose in her heart.

From this moment, the power of Daqian is in her hands!

She will no longer be constrained!

The officials looked at each other.

Finally, the Imperial Censor Yan Zheng took a deep breath, stepped forward and said, "Prince Rong has committed a heinous crime. Your Majesty is merciful, and I, Yan Zheng, support you."

"But today, I have something important to report."

Wu Zhao looked at Yan Zheng, and said with her red lips slightly opened: "Doctor Yan is an important official of Daqian. If you have any important matters, just speak up boldly. "

For a moment, all the civil and military officials turned their eyes to Yan Zheng.

Yan Zheng looked at Wu Zhao expressionlessly and said, "Your Majesty, the River Management Department proposed to repair the Lingqu Canal and dredge the Yangtze River two months ago to prevent floods."

"I think that the world is stable today, our Daqian country is rich and the people are strong, and the Lingqu Canal should also be started."

"Furthermore, your majesty ascended the throne, and the Chu and Yan countries bordered our Daqian, but they have been slow to send envoys to congratulate. They should send envoys to severely condemn it!"

As soon as these words came out.

The expressions of Wu Zhao and the civil and military officials suddenly became serious.

Since ancient times, floods have been a huge threat.

Emperors of all dynasties who were good at flood control have been highly praised in history books.

But how can Daqian have so much money now?

Wu Zhao looked at the officials and said in a deep voice, "My dear ministers, what do you think of this matter? "

Cui Xinghe immediately stood up and said, "It would be good if Chu and Yan sent envoys. I think the most urgent task now is to prevent the disaster before it happens and control the water in advance."

"The method of controlling water is to use embankments to restrain water, use water to attack sand, and store clear water to flush yellow water!"

"I agree with the words of Yan Yushi. The current plan is to repair the Lingqu Canal, guide the river, and store water in advance to avoid the arrival of the rainy season. Otherwise, once the rain increases in the rainy season, floods will break out. This will be a disaster for my Daqian!"

Cui Xinghe's voice resounded throughout the hall.

Prince Rong fell, his followers would be swept away, and Wu Zetian would be the only one who had the final say in the court.

But this also means the change of power and the arrival of opportunities!

Cui Xinghe would not miss this great opportunity. Water control has always been a big problem, and he has done a lot of research.

It's time for him to show his skills!

When Cui Xinghe said this, a group of ministers

Nod in agreement.

This method of controlling water is still very good.

Wu Zhao's expression was a little solemn.

For today's Daqian, water control is really not an easy task. If you want to strengthen river embankments, dredge river channels, and even store water to prevent floods, the number of civilians involved may be hundreds of thousands and hundreds of people. Ten thousand.

Moreover, she is still planning for Zhao State, but the courtiers do not know that if a two-pronged approach is adopted, this will put great pressure on Daqian's treasury.

"But if we want to repair river embankments and carry out large-scale water conservancy projects, millions of people will be involved. Where can I get so much money?"

"Gao Yuanwai Lang, what do you think?"

Wu Zhao looked at Gao Yang and said with deep meaning.

Gao Yang's mouth twitched, this empress was addicted to picking up his wool.

How could he not understand the implication of the empress's words? To put it bluntly, Daqian didn't have much money right now, and they still had to delay Zhao Jin's plan to build the spiritual canal.

But Wu Zhao couldn't think of a good reason, so he asked him to think of a way.

He was also aware of this matter. There had been a lot of rumors a month ago that the imperial court was going to overhaul the spiritual canal and recruit civilians.

The so-called Ling Canal is a key river channel in the middle and upper reaches of Daqian. It is used to repair large-scale water conservancy projects to store water, regulate water levels and prevent floods.

Obviously, Wu Zhao doesn't want to do it now.

Because it is too laborious and wastes money.

Prince Rong wanted him to solve it, and he also wanted him to stop the Xiuling Canal. He couldn't help but look at Wu Zhao one more time. It would be unreasonable for Wu Zhao not to give him any reward later.

Cui Xinghe's face turned dark. The empress turned a deaf ear to his flood control strategy. Instead, she flirted with Gao Yang.

He is a top-ranked scholar, he doesn't want to lose face?

He looked at Gao Yang and said, "Controlling water is different from merchants. Is Mr. Gao still proficient in water control?"

Gao Yang said calmly, "I'm not talented, but I know a little bit about water control!"

"And I have a plan to deal with Chu and Yan's disrespect for me."

As soon as this statement came out.

Cui Xinghe was immediately stunned.

All the officials also looked shocked.

"Master Gao said that he has a plan to solve the problem of Chu and Yan's disrespect for me and flood control at the same time?"

"How is this possible!"

Cui Xinghe looked unbelieving and thought it was impossible.

Xu Xuanji also stood up and said, "Master Gao, how can Da Chu and Da Yan be disrespectful and have anything to do with water control?"

All the officials looked suspicious, as if they had heard a big joke.

In fact, these two things are completely unrelated and have nothing to do with each other.

But only Wu Zhao, Shangguan Wan'er, Gao Feng and Gao Tianlong were shocked.

I have a plan in Gaoyang. Only they understand the value of this sentence.

Gao Feng learned the lesson and didn't scold him. He just stared at Gao Yang's face. He wanted to see what Gao Yang wanted to do.

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes fell on Gao Yang. She was also curious about Gao Yang's clever plan. She just wanted Gao Yang to find an excuse to delay the repair of the Ling Canal for a while, waiting for the harvest of Zhao State to be completed.

Gao Yang is really involved in water control?

Could it be that he didn't understand what she meant?

No, it shouldn't be!

There must be something bad in Gao Yang's stomach!
