Chapter 1
The king of the country was in trouble.
"Evil creature! You dare to reveal the imperial edict of His Majesty to recruit talents? Why don't you roll down the tree and die!"
A roar full of murderous intent came from his ears, and Gao Yang woke up with a splitting headache.
On the tree?
Didn't he just set up a scheme, harvested millions of dollars from a few foreigners, and then called a few blonde girls, ready to win glory for the country in the hotel?
Gao Yang subconsciously opened his eyes, and everything around him came into view.
He actually climbed up a tree, and his hands were still tightly wrapped around the tree as thick as a person, just like holding a beloved goddess, holding it tightly.
Below, in the small courtyard full of ancient fragrance, a group of people were sitting under the tree, both men and women, all wearing ancient costumes and long robes.
The middle-aged man in the lead was still glaring at him, his eyes looked like he wanted to eat him!
"Evil beast, I'll count down three seconds, get down quickly, don't embarrass yourself up there."
Gao Yang was instantly annoyed.
This middle-aged man looked quite elegant, and he was intimidating without being angry, but he really thought he was a dish, calling him an evil beast, and his father didn't insult him like this.
As an unscrupulous and black-hearted capitalist in the 21st century, a person who was terrified by countless foreigners, could Gao Yang bear this?
In addition, the enemy was below, and he was on the tree. In a society ruled by law, what was there to be afraid of?
So Gao Yang cursed directly, "Old Biden, did you call him an evil beast?"
As soon as this was said.
All the servants in the Dingguo Mansion were stunned.
"Crazy, the eldest son must be crazy, dare to talk to the master like this!"
Not far away, a middle-aged woman was elegant and graceful.
When she heard Gao Yang's words, she subconsciously loosened her hand, and the fine jade ruyi fell to the ground, making a crisp shattering sound.
But she turned a deaf ear to it, with a look of astonishment.
The middle-aged man's eyes widened, and his whole body trembled with anger, as if he was on the verge of exploding.
"Evil beast, how dare you talk to your father like this?"
Gao Yang blurted out, "You are my father? I said I am your father!"
As soon as these words came out.
"What?"
The middle-aged man trembled wildly when he heard this.
His lips turned white with anger, and he roared directly, "Come here, get my arrows, instead of letting this evil beast bump into your majesty and implicate the Gao family, it is better for me to clean up the door myself and then apologize to the empress!"
With this roar that resounded throughout the Dingguo Mansion,
Several servants in armor quickly brought longbows, and there were also several arrows with cold arrows next to them.
Damn!
What's going on?
He could tell at a glance that this was a good-quality ox horn bow, and the arrows were real.
Looking to the side, there was a magnificent and majestic house, a simple and elegant courtyard.
It's broken.
I didn't travel through time, did I?
At this moment, Gao Yang's brain hurt a lot, and he felt that there was a huge memory in his mind.
The next moment.
He opened his eyes with deep shock in his eyes.
It's broken!
I really traveled through time!
This is not a legal society, but the Daqian Dynasty that has never existed in history.
The middle-aged man in front of him is his father, Gao Feng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of Daqian, a third-rank official!
His grandfather Gao Tianlong is a veteran of the three dynasties of Daqian and the number one in the military.
Through memory, Gao Yang understood everything.
Two months ago, Empress Wu Zhao ascended the throne and became the first empress in the history of the Daqian Dynasty!
But now, Daqian is in a state of treacherous people, separatist princes, and the Xiongnu outside!
The empress is ambitious and determined to quell the chaos and create a foundation for Daqian to last for thousands of years!
A month ago, the empress issued an edict to seek talents, posted an imperial edict, and widely called on talents from all over the world, eager for strategies to strengthen the country!
The empress particularly emphasized that extraordinary achievements must be met with extraordinary people. As long as there are amazing talents, no matter their status, they can enter the court as officials.
As a result, the original owner, the biggest playboy in the capital who is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, inexplicably revealed the imperial edict!
This made Gao Feng furious and felt deeply that his family was unfortunate.
Because of the empress's decree, those who reveal the imperial edict will be summoned to the Taiji Hall. Those with talent will be given important positions, but those who seek fame will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane!
In serious cases, they will be punished for deceiving the emperor!
Then, Gao Feng, who learned the news, chased Gao Yang all over the yard with a stick.
Gao Yang climbed up the tree with his hands and feet.
As a dignified Duke's Mansion, we are not afraid of the descendants of the future generations being playboys, but we are afraid that the playboys themselves will want to prove themselves and establish great achievements without knowing it!
In Gao Feng's mind, Gao Yang is such a playboy.
Click.
After learning everything, Gao Yang panicked.
He looked at Gao Feng below, only to see
Gao Feng took the bow, drew the bow and put the arrow on it, aiming at him.
The murderous intent was particularly obvious.
The cold sweat on Gao Yang's forehead instantly fell.
Just as he was thinking about how to get out, a loud shout rang out.
"Gao Feng, you dare!"
Li was like a hen protecting her calf, and quickly stepped in front of Gao Feng, "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. If you want to kill Yang'er, kill me first."
Li, the eldest daughter of the Li family of the Five Surnames and Seven Families, Gao Yang's biological mother, was in charge of all the miscellaneous matters in the Dingguo Mansion.
"Get out of the way, this evil beast has gone crazy. If he is allowed to go to the Golden Palace, he might cause some trouble!"
Gao Feng said, and angrily pointed at Gao Yang on the tree: "This evil beast not only caused a big disaster, but also climbed up the tree and spoke wildly, without bowing his head at all. How can I tolerate him?!"
But the next second, Gao Yang quickly climbed down with his hands and feet.
He straightened the wrinkles of his clothes and bowed respectfully to Gao Feng, "I am Gao Yang, I meet you, father."
"In fact, I took down the imperial edict because I wanted to make achievements and restore the glory of my Gao family for a hundred years. It was not an impulsive act."
Gao Feng: "..."
This wicked boy bowed his head so quickly that he was a little uncomfortable.
Gao Feng said expressionlessly, "When you were seventeen years old, you wrote a poem about reed flowers, one, two, three, four, four, five, six, seven, which made my Gao family a laughing stock for the people of Chang'an after dinner. Do you remember?"
Memories came flooding back. It seemed that Gao Feng and Gao Tianlong, father and son, played mixed doubles against him. He lay in bed for a whole month.
Before he could speak, Gao Feng said, "When I was eighteen, you wrote a poem called "Looking at a big stone from close up, looking at a big stone from a distance", which once again made my Gao family the center of attention and the shame of the literary world."
"Now you are nineteen years old, and you have revealed the imperial edict of His Majesty seeking talents. Do you know that this move will make my entire Gao family the center of attention?"
Gao Feng said, and the hand holding the ox horn bow moved.
Gao Yang knew that if he didn't give Gao Feng a reasonable explanation, Gao Yang would beat him up.
"Things have come to this point, even if father beats the child violently, it will be useless."
"The current empress has just ascended the throne and is eager to seek talents. If I reveal the imperial edict, I will become the target of public criticism in Chang'an. If my father severely obstructs it, at the very least, it will be disrespectful to the empress, and at the most, it will be charged with deceiving the emperor!"
Gao Feng's pupils shrank, and he looked at Gao Yang in shock.
This sentence hit his soft spot.
The new emperor ascended the throne, and now is a time of trouble. Gao Yang took down the imperial edict, and it is estimated that the news has already spread to the palace. If he stopped it, he would definitely be reported to the emperor!
But when did this wicked boy become so sharp-tongued?
Gao Feng was surprised.
Gao Yang said calmly, "Father, have you ever heard of a poisonous scholar?"
"Poisonous scholar?"
Gao Feng frowned.
"There are three types of counselors: those who plan for themselves, those who plan for others, and those who plan for the world. Those who plan for themselves are poisonous scholars! Those who make open plans and those who make plans that damage their virtues are also poisonous scholars!"
"Today, the world is unified, but the north is uneasy. There are treacherous people who harm the country, vassal kings are separatist, and barbarians are eyeing them covetously. Ordinary means are difficult to be effective. The world should be ruled by poisonous scholars!"
Gao Feng was surprised when he heard this.
Although he knew that this kid was bluffing, his bluffing still made some sense.
Is he really hiding his shortcomings?
Just as Gao Feng was thinking, a gentle voice suddenly came from outside the Gao family's door.
"Uncle Gao, Wan'er came uninvited, and I am sorry to bother you."
Gao Yang looked up and saw a woman in a dark green long skirt and with skin as white as snow standing at the door, her cold eyes staring at his direction.
However, there was a moment of indifference in her eyes.
Song Qingqing, the daughter of Song Li, the Minister of Rites of Daqian, is also his nominal fiancée.
Arriving at this time, Gao Yang smelled something wrong.
"We are one family, so why should Qingqing be so polite?"
Gao Feng saw Song Qingqing and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
Song Qingqing raised her proud chin and said lightly: "Uncle Gao, Qingqing is here to cancel the engagement!"
