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

After a long while, Cui Xinghe said with a trembling voice, "You are right. The locusts really like the wasteland after the river ebbs."

"But these non-knowledgeable people would never know. How do you know?"

For the first time, Cui Xinghe looked at Gao Yang, his face full of shock.

Gao Yang said with a full of reminiscence, "These are all records in the ancient book given by the immortal old man."

"After reading a lot of historical books, I dare to conclude that it is absolutely true!"

"Your Majesty, please provide disaster relief as soon as possible!"

Gao Yang directly pushed all of it to the mysterious old man.

Wu Zhao looked at Gao Yang earnestly and said, "Gao Yang, please go and invite this old Taoist priest to come. I will treat him as a national teacher."

Gao Yang said with regret, "Your Majesty, I have only met this old man once, and there has been no news since then. Maybe he has passed away."

He looked at the ceiling of the imperial study with a sad face, as if he was very sad.

Wu Zhao stared at Gao Yang, and doubt flashed in her heart.

But now it concerns millions of people in Guanzhong, and it is not a reason to delve into this.

"Since the old immortal has passed on his mantle to you, you will go to Guanzhong to provide disaster relief!"

Wu Zhao took a deep breath and was about to make a decision.

But Gao Yang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, wait a minute!"

"I am a counselor, not good at military strategy."

"I am afraid that I cannot lead 50,000 chickens and ducks!"

Wu Zhao frowned, "Then what do you think?"

Gao Yang bowed respectfully and said to Wu Zhao, "In my opinion, the person who will provide disaster relief this time should be a brave general with outstanding military achievements!"

When Wang Zhong heard this, he realized that something was wrong.

He suddenly looked at Gao Yang.

How dare this kid!!!

But Gao Yang continued, "General Wang is both civil and military, and he knows the habits of locusts very well in his conversation. He should be the best candidate!"

"I believe that General Wang will lead 50,000 duck soldiers and chicken generals and will surely return with a great victory!"

Wang Zhong looked unbelievable.

The corners of the mouths of other ministers also twitched.

Wang Zhong is a fierce general of the time. If he leads duck soldiers and chicken generals to provide disaster relief, he will be completely unable to raise his head in the circle of military generals.

Gao Yang is cruel enough!

It was not until this time that they took Gao Yang's reputation as a poisonous scholar seriously.

This kid is a bit sinister.

"Your Majesty!"

Wang Zhong shouted, trying to stop it all.

Wu Zhao took a deep look at Gao Yang, then looked at Wang Zhong and said, "Duke Dingguo's grandson is right. Using chickens is like using soldiers. It is related to the locust plague. I don't believe in ordinary people. General Wang is indeed the best candidate!"

"For the millions of people in Guanzhong, I also ask General Wang to take this hard time!"

"Issued an order to immediately confer the title of General of the Chicken to General Wang Zhong, and urgently requisition chickens and ducks from all over Chang'an at the average market price, and rush to Guanzhong for disaster relief!"

Wang Zhong's mouth twitched fiercely.

He didn't expect that he didn't get the honor of General of Cavalry among the generals, but got a General of Chicken!

If he agreed to this, how would he face his old brothers in the army in the future?

What a shame!

Wang Zhong looked unwilling, but when he saw Wu Zhao's unquestionable eyes, he could only grit his teeth and agree no matter how unwilling he was!

"Minister, I will obey your majesty's order!"

If it weren't for the occasion, Gao Feng couldn't help laughing out loud.

Wang Zhong has been making things difficult for Gao Yang these days, and this wave of slaps in the face is so satisfying!

What a great General of Chicken.

Even if Wang Zhong returns with merit, he won't have to go out for a month.

The whole Daqian knows that there is a General of Chicken!

This time, the whole Dingguo Mansion is proud.

Song Li also had a complicated expression, staring at Gao Yang, secretly regretting in his heart.

Wu Zhao continued, "Gao Yang, although I think your method is useful, the locust disaster cannot be eradicated."

"I remember you just said that the locusts are coming and covering the sky and the sun, and there are not many ways, but this implies that there must be a way!"

Wu Zhao looked expectant.

She must be fully prepared.

Gao Yang nodded, "Yes, if the locusts really break out and cover the sky and the sun, my next plan is to judge the locusts' trajectory, use a piece of food as a lure, add easily ignited combustibles, and burn them all with fire!"

"Burn the locusts with fire to reduce the disaster!"

Hiss!

When Gao Yang's fire attack came out, the ministers' scalps numbed.

This move is simply a loss of one thousand to hurt the enemy eight hundred!

In their minds, it seemed that the locusts came densely, then slowly entered the fertile fields, and a big fire was burning.

This is really ruthless!

Although the food was gone in this fire, the locusts also killed and injured at least several million people!

Even more!

One plan is more ruthless than the other!

Catch first, then eat, then send natural enemies. If that doesn't work, attack with fire. You will injure the enemy by one thousand and lose eight hundred by yourself.

The locusts provoked this living king of hell, which is really bad luck!

Wu Zhao glanced at Gao Yang a few more times.

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but swallow her saliva, thinking of what she had done.

The officials couldn't help but look at Gao Yang.

Is this the Poison Master?

Isn’t it true that Duke Dingguo’s family is full of loyal people and behaves openly and aboveboard?

Why is there such a ruthless person!

Lei Yun, the Minister of Punishment, couldn't help but said, "Master Gao, does this plan of yours harm Tianhe? Locusts are also living beings and life!"

"Is this fire too cruel?"

Hearing this, Gao Yang sneered, "After the locusts ravaged the land, people starved to death everywhere. Countless families were separated from their wives, and they even exchanged their children for food!"

"Master Lei, aren't these people miserable?"

Lei Yun was startled, "You!"

But he was speechless.

Wu Zhao also said with a cold face, "The locusts have made life difficult for many of my people. They have killed and injured so many people. They are not worthy of sympathy at all!"

"I support the fire attack!"

Yan Zheng hesitated for a long time, and then said, "Your Majesty, I am a little worried!"

Wu Zhao looked at Yan Zheng, a little surprised, and she said that the imperial study room was much calmer today.

It turned out that Yan Zheng had been silent.

Wu Zhao said, "Yan Yushi has something to say, but please say it directly."

Yan Zheng said sadly, "Although Mr. Gao's method is good, whether it is to encourage the people to catch locusts with the court's food, or to burn the locusts in the end, I completely agree with it."

"It's just that people have always believed that locusts are a catastrophe and a will of God. Many people dare not disobey God. Even when locusts come to ravage fertile fields, they kneel down and kowtow, praying for the locusts to leave as soon as possible. What should we do?"

He sighed, "The difficulty in exterminating locusts is not only the locusts, but also the people's hearts. If the people's hearts are not aligned, the effect will be minimal!"

One word fell.

Cui Xinghe also said solemnly, "Your Majesty, what Mr. Yan said is reasonable. It is recorded in history books from various places. "Locusts are natural disasters that cannot be controlled by human beings. We should cultivate virtue to avoid them! "

"Not to mention the common people, even some officials believe that locusts are a punishment from heaven and cannot be stopped by manpower. This is also a major reason for the serious locust plagues in the past years!"

Wu Zhao frowned when he heard this.

This is not unreasonable. The ancients were ignorant and regarded the locust plague as a punishment from God. When the locust plague came, many people kowtowed beside them. As a result, there were more and more locusts and no grain was harvested.

If there was really nothing to eat, I would never eat locusts, fearing God would punish me again.

This is a very sad thing.

Wu Zhao frowned, but suddenly he thought of playing with people's hearts. Is there anyone in front of him with a more evil heart than Gao Yang?

"Gao Yang, do you have any idea?"

Wu Zhao said.

Hearing this, Gao Yang showed some confusion on his face, "Your Majesty, of course there is such a way, but..."

"Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. The effect of killing locusts is just a little bit worse."

Gao Yang said to himself.

When Wu Zhao heard this, he immediately reprimanded him, "Gao Yang, this matter concerns millions of people. If you have something to say, just speak out. Why bother to hide it?"

Prime Minister Xu Xuanji also said, "Your Majesty, if a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs has a countermeasure but does not tell him about it, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"Severe punishment!"

Seeing this, Gao Yang could only say, "Your Majesty, this is what you asked me to say, so I said it!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Wu Zhao had a bad premonition in his heart.

But she still said, "Speak quickly and I will forgive you."

Gao Yang stared at Wu Zhao and said slowly, "Your Majesty, the root of people's fear comes from the unknown, from heaven!"

"This situation is easy to solve. After all, Your Majesty is the Queen of Daqian. In the hearts of the people, Your Majesty should obey the will of God and control all people!"

"As long as Your Majesty eats one locust in public, and then burns some locusts to death in public, and tells the people that locusts are just pests, not punishment from God, the people's understanding will change, and they should work hard to eliminate locusts for the sake of crops!"

After saying this, all the courtiers in the imperial study room suddenly widened their eyes and looked at Gao Yang in shock.

Is this kid crazy?

He dares to let the most noble empress of Daqian eat locusts and risk her life?
