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

The old man was very happy.

"Young Master, someone outside the mansion wants to see you!"

After a while, Fu Bo, the housekeeper of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, came forward and said to Gao Yang.

"Someone is looking for me?"

Gao Yang looked curious.

Could it be that the playboy in Chang'an City asked him to go out and have fun together?

"Take me out to see!"

Gao Yang walked out quickly.

Outside the mansion.

Chen Sheng was wearing a linen shirt, with a look of uneasiness on his face.

A few days ago, the price of grain in Linjiang City fell sharply. He just wanted to worship Gao Yang, but when he went to the government office, he unexpectedly learned that Gao Yang had returned to Chang'an.

He immediately settled his wife and daughter, borrowed a fast horse, and chased after Chang'an.

A man's promise is worth a thousand gold. Although no one witnessed it, he said that if Gao Yang stabilized the grain price, he would come to serve, so he should do it.

As for whether Gao Yang wanted him, that was not within his consideration.

At this time, Gao Yang came outside the mansion.

"Who wants to see this young master?"

As soon as Chen Sheng saw Gao Yang, he immediately knelt down.

"I am Chen Sheng, a commoner from Linjiang, and I meet Mr. Gao!"

Gao Yang raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "A native of Linjiang?"

"You chased me all the way to Chang'an? What's the matter?"

Chen Sheng nodded, "I once promised in Linjiang City that if Mr. Gao could lower the grain price in Jiangcheng, I would go to Mr. Gao and work for him."

Chen Sheng's words were firm and decisive.

Gao Yang asked again, "What if this young master failed to come to Jiangcheng to raise grain prices?"

Chen Sheng hesitated for a moment and said, "I will exchange my life for yours, but Young Master Gao is too cautious and often stays close to the guards when he goes out, so I don't have the chance to kill him."

Fu Bo: "..."

Gao Yang: "..."

It was the first time he had seen such an honest person.

Gao Yang looked directly at Chen Sheng and asked, "This young master is not as righteous as you think. What if what I ask you to do in the future is not what you want?"

Chen Sheng said loudly, "Since Chen Sheng is here, this life belongs to the young master. As long as you don't slaughter the people, everything will be up to the young master's orders!"

Gao Yang smiled, "It's interesting. Stay. The probation period is three months, and the salary will be paid during this period."

Daqian values ​​righteousness, and there are many civilian knights.

In fact, when he saw Chen Sheng and heard that he was from Linjiang, he knew why Chen Sheng came.

Compared with the people in Dingguo Mansion, it's not bad for him to have some of his own confidants. As for Chen Sheng, there is no need to investigate.

Such an upright person would never be an assassin or have ulterior motives.

Chen Sheng's face lit up, but then he was a little confused.

Probation period?

This word is simply unheard of.

Fu Bo's eyes lit up, "Young Master is very talented, this probation period of three months is reasonable."

"But, the salary has to be paid by the young master."

Gao Yang was stunned, "What?"

"I pay?"

Fu Bo smiled and said, "The master is angry, so you have to pay it yourself."

Gao Yang's mouth twitched.

That's all.

Let him pay it, a time traveler can't get money?

It's a joke!

"Free food and accommodation is okay?" Gao Yang looked at Fu Bo unhappily.

Fu Bo bent over and smiled, "Of course, since I work for the young master, I should provide free food and accommodation."

Soon, Fu Bo took Chen Sheng into the Dingguo Mansion.

But to be on the safe side, Uncle Fu said to the men of the Dingguo Mansion, "Check if there is any criminal record in the government office, and send someone to Linjiang City to check it out. Since you are serving the young master, take your wife and daughter to Chang'an for care."

Gao Yang stood at the door of the mansion. When he thought that his money was gone, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

He couldn't go to the brothel anymore, and there was one more person to support.

He had to find a way to make money.

Shangguan Wan'er!

He remembered this grudge.

Gao Yang wanted to take a nap in the afternoon, but now he thought that it was definitely not safe in the mansion, so he went out for a walk.

Since he traveled through time, he hasn't seen the prosperity of Chang'an City.

Through the memory of the original owner, he knew that Chang'an in Daqian was the largest capital among the seven countries.

By the way, there was also Wu Cheng, the son of Prince Rong, who should be watched.

Thinking of Wu Cheng, Gao Yang's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.

The palace.

Imperial Study.

A-choo!

Shangguan Wan'er sneezed several times.

Wu Zetian was sitting on the dragon throne, processing memorials. When she heard Shangguan Wan'er sneezing wildly, she said, "The weather in Chang'an has been unpredictable these days. You need to pay more attention to your health and don't catch a cold."

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head, "Your Majesty, I'm fine. It may be that Censor Gao is scolding me."

"Oh?"

Wu

Zhao put down the memorial in his hand and suddenly became interested.

She looked curious.

"Why did Gao Yang scold you?"

Shangguan Wan'er said while grinding the ink, "I sent someone to inform the household minister Gao Feng that Gao Yushi brought him a box of tea from Linjiang City, but he was too embarrassed and asked the minister Gao to go to the room to get it by himself. ”

After saying this, a smile appeared on Wu Zhao's face.

"Gao Yang is not a good person. If you cheat him like this, you should be more careful in the future."

Shangguan Wan'er said with a fearless face, "I am not afraid of such a prodigal son."

After hearing this, Wu Zhao didn't say much.

Shangguan Wan'er saw the sadness in Wu Zhao's eyes, so she couldn't help but ask, "Is there something bothering your Majesty?"

Wu Zhao put down the memorial in his hand, and a look of exhaustion appeared on his beautiful face.

"Although I have been on the throne for a few months, the world is not peaceful."

"The vassal kings from all over the country support their own troops and have a rebellious intention. In addition, I am a woman, and I am even more dissatisfied. It is inevitable to cut down the vassal. However, if I do not do this, it will lead to civil strife in the Qian Dynasty."

"I am still hesitant until now, but the house leaked and it rained all night, causing a disaster in Guangyang County. Gaoyang's method of providing relief through work is very good, but the requirements for officials are too high, and merchants are not fools. Linjiang City is in trouble. They are afraid that they will not be fooled once.”

"What makes me even more angry is that Prince Zhongrong of the DPRK is the head of the three auxiliary ministers. However, after quarreling with me a few days ago, he excused himself from going to court due to serious illness. How can he look at me, the empress, at all?"

"If the court is not stable, how can we talk about cutting down the vassal state? Not to mention the current disaster in the world, and there are Turks looking at us."

"Daqian looks calm, but in fact it affects the whole body!"

When Wu Zhao said this, even though he had great ambitions, he could not hide his sadness.

Shangguan Wan'er also fell silent after listening.

These problems faced by Daqian are indeed difficult to solve.

But she comforted: "Your Majesty, everything depends on human effort. Let's take our time. Everything will eventually be resolved. Daqian will eventually be reborn in the hands of Your Majesty."

Wu Zhao nodded, with a strong confidence in his eyes.

Although there are many problems in Daqian, Wu Zhao is confident that she can solve them!

It's just that these problems make her upset, especially when a woman just ascends the throne and so many things happen in the world.

Sometimes it even made her think, is it not allowed to have a female emperor in this world?

But that's it.

Outside the royal study, a soldier wearing armor knelt down on one knee.

"Report!"

"Liu Wu, the governor of Guanzhong County, is urgently needed. There has been a severe drought in Guanzhong for several months, and a locust plague has broken out. Millions of people have been affected by the locust plague. I sincerely request your majesty to provide relief!"

As soon as this statement came out.

Wu Zhao suddenly sat up straight, with anger in his eyes.

"What?"

"Severe drought in Guanzhong, locust plague breaks out? Millions of people are in urgent need of disaster relief?"
