late at night.

Daqian Palace.

Empress Wu Zhao stood in front of the window. The cold moonlight shone on that beautiful face, showing a certain amount of coldness and a certain amount of alienation.

Her eyes were filled with endless nobility.

"Did I really see it wrong?"

Wu Zhao put his hands behind his hands and looked into the distance, in the direction of Linjiang City, with a frown.

Cui Xinghe arrived in Qingshui City, but in just three days, the price of food in Qingshui City was not only suppressed, but also dropped sharply.

Not only did the price of grain remain stable at eighty-two cents per dou, but it even dropped by another two cents, to eighty cents per dou.

During the catastrophic years, not only did it curb the skyrocketing food prices, but it also caused them to fall again and again. This requires no small skill!

Cui Xinghe lived up to her trust.

But Wu Zhao was not happy.

"You make me a little disappointed!"

Wu Zhao's mind was filled with the image of Gao Yang standing in the main hall, talking eloquently. If he was talking about dealing with the son of his enemy, he would just give her a high look.

The monkey show that followed made her moved, and she even felt a chill from the bottom of her heart.

This is the person she has been looking for!

Therefore, she created this competition, using hundreds of thousands of people from the two cities to give them a place to display their talents and compete for the outcome.

Even in her heart, she wanted to be more optimistic about Gao Yang, so she gave Linjiang City, which had a greater disaster and a more complicated city, to Gao Yang.

However, food prices in Linjiang City have skyrocketed, and Gaoyang even had to rebuild the county government office during the disaster years, hold large-scale events, and reduce taxes for greedy merchants.

The more dazzling Cui Xinghe became, the more disappointed Gao Yang became for her.

"That's it!"

"Those who talk on paper will not be able to take on big responsibilities after all."

The empress shook her head and prepared to rest.

But at this moment, the little eunuch outside the door rushed in in a panic.

"Report!"

"Sir Shangguan sent someone to deliver a letter quickly. Your Majesty must sign it personally!"

"Not only that, Mr. Du also sent a fast horse again to deliver the memorial, and specifically asked that this memorial must be personally signed by His Majesty and then copied to the Yushitai!"

The little eunuch knelt on the ground.

Wu Zhao suddenly turned around, and a terrifying sense of nobility and majesty filled her surroundings.

"Send it up!"

Wu Zhao's eyes flickered.

Shangguan Wan'er sent someone to deliver a letter.

Du Jiang also quickly sent a memorial and asked her to sign it personally.

Could it be that the public anger in Linjiang City could no longer be suppressed and a great chaos broke out?

Wu Zhao thought a lot in an instant, his eyes solemn.

She had just ascended the throne, so if war broke out at this moment, it would not be good news for her.

Thinking of something, Wu Zhao's eyes turned cold.

In Fengluan Palace, some eunuchs and maids with keen sense of smell didn't dare to breathe when their eyes touched Wu Zhao's face.

Wu Zhao first opened the envelope and took out Shangguan Wan'er's handwritten letter.

As the content of the letter came into view, Wu Zhao's expression also became extremely exciting.

She immediately picked up the memorial written by Du Jiang, opened it, and scanned it quickly.

Snap!

The memorial fell to the ground.

Wu Zhao looked shocked.

The young eunuchs and maids around him were all shivering, their foreheads covered with cold sweat.

Your Majesty, what's going on?

"My vision is indeed correct."

A smile suddenly appeared on Wu Zhao's face, and these words shocked all the eunuchs.

Your Majesty smiled?

They had been serving here for so long, and this was the first time they saw Wu Zhao showing such a thrilling smile.

Although there was nothing under their crotches, they couldn't help but be fascinated for a moment.

"The admonishers at Yushitai have been disgusting with me these days. I must take a good breath tomorrow. There is no need to make a copy of this memorial."

"Go down."

Wu Zhao waved his hand and said something, and all the eunuchs and maids retreated.

Wait until the entire palace fell into absolute silence.

Wu Zhao looked at the full moon outside the window and murmured to himself, "In one day, the price dropped sharply by one hundred and fifty cents, and it may even drop to fifty cents per dou!"

"You are such a grandson of Duke Dingguo, but I have underestimated you."

"..."

The next day.

A ray of sunshine pierced the clouds, and the whole Chang'an was full of vitality, not far from the city gate.

Gao Yang couldn't help but move his waist. He hurriedly walked slowly and almost shook his waist to pieces.

When the majestic Chang'an City standing on the ground appeared in his sight, Gao Yang couldn't help but said excitedly.

"After struggling for so long, I'm finally back!"

"This time, I must enjoy myself thoroughly."

Shangguan Wan'er said dissatisfiedly, "What is trouble? Mr. Gao is making a contribution to Da Qian."

"As an official, you should dedicate yourself to the people and die. This is obviously the supreme honor!"

Gao Yang was also used to Shangguan Wan'er's sarcastic remarks and replied directly, "Sir Shangguan is right, as long as Lord Shangguan is happy."

Shangguan Wan'er stared at Gao Yang with her beautiful eyes.

Where did Gao Yang come from with so many irritating quotes?

When the carriage approached the city gate, several eunuchs hurriedly greeted it diligently.

"Gao Yushi, Sir Shangguan, your Majesty has a decree. Your Majesty will summon you to court this morning."

"..."

Jinluan Palace.

All civil and military officials were lined up on both sides, with Gao Tianlong, Duke of Ding, standing at the front, and Gao Feng among them.

It's just that Gao Feng's face looked very bad, and his eyes glanced in the direction of Cui Xinghe from time to time.

"You evil beast, my father has been greatly disgraced today." Gao Feng sighed in his heart.

Not only Gao Feng, but also all the ministers looked at Cui Xinghe intentionally or unintentionally.

Almost everyone knows that Cui Xinghe is the most dazzling person in Daqian Court today.

He is destined to enjoy all the envious looks!

Cui Xinghe's expression was calm and calm.

But my heart was already filled with excitement.

After today, the Cui family will be proud of Cui Xinghe, and a separate page of the family tree should be dedicated to him!

As for how Gao Yang, a dandy, can compete with the top talent like him?

A competition, a decision is made.

"Your Majesty is here!"

Accompanied by the eunuch's shrill voice, Wu Zhao, wearing a golden dragon robe, slowly sat on the dragon chair!

All officials immediately saluted.

"Everyone is safe!"

"Today, I will reward you for your merits."

Wu Zhaozhao got straight to the point.

After saying this, all the officials' eyes focused on Cui Xinghe.

Cui Xinghe straightened his back, his face full of pride.

Song Li was the first to stand up, "Your Majesty, Cui Zhuangyuan used thunderous means to reduce the price of food in Qingshui City to as low as eighty cents per dou in just seven days. He is really a talent of Wang Zuo. I sincerely ask your Majesty to put him to good use!"

Wang Zhong followed up and said loudly, "Your Majesty is looking for talents from all over the world. He wants to create a lasting foundation for the Great Qian Dynasty. He even does not hesitate to use Qingshui and Linjiang City as a competition. Now, your Majesty will make a judgment. Please give him a generous reward for his merits and demerits." Heavy penalties."

Following these words, many officials bowed down.

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

In particular, the remonstrators at the Yushitai were even more fierce in their words.

Yan Zheng's face was livid, he stood up and said coldly, "Your Majesty started the competition with the people of one city. It turns out that one hundred thousand people in Linjiang City are living in water and fire. He is truly a tyrant and will be severely despised by the history books!"

Yan Zheng didn't give Wu Zhao any face, he just started to talk nonsense, and he talked endlessly, and he had the tendency to quote scriptures.

Suddenly, the entire court was filled with Yan Zheng's angry roar.

Some officials with a keen sense of smell sensed something was wrong. In the past, when Yan Zheng was so angry, Wu Zhao would not be furious and kill people indiscriminately, but his face would still be ashen.

But today, he looked very interested.

Gao Tianlong looked thoughtful.

After half a stick of incense, Yan Zheng's mouth felt dry and he paused.

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "Master Yan, are you done?"

Yan Zheng looked at Wu Zhao, feeling a little uneasy, but still nodded with a livid face, "I have said everything I wanted to say."

"If Linjiang City fails to control it and continues to allow food prices to skyrocket, once riots break out and sweep across the world, Your Majesty will be the sinner of the world."

At this time, Cui Xinghe also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard about the skyrocketing food prices in Linjiang City, and I am deeply saddened. As a high-ranking official, I am willing to go to Linjiang City to share your Majesty's worries!"

"Although the four major grain merchants in Linjiang City are extremely difficult to deal with, I have full confidence and experience."

As Cui Xinghe stood up, all the officials looked at him with admiration.

"Cui Zhuangyuan is a great talent!"

"Cui Zhuangyuan cares about the people and is truly a role model for our generation!"

Wu Zhao listened to these discussions, his expression remained unchanged, and then he said unhurriedly, "They all say that the price of food in Linjiang City has skyrocketed, but how did I hear that the price of food in Linjiang City has been as low as seventy cents per dou?" Where is it?"
