Chapter 553 Gongzi Gao is worried!

In fact, the underlying principle is the same. In short, it is to give more favorable and excellent treatment to the descendants of those officials who have made great military achievements. However, in the officialdom, whether one can make a difference in the end depends on personal ability. Moreover, this treatment is not limited by the number of people.

From another perspective, if Xiao He had ten children and they were all educated very well, then all ten children would have the opportunity to enter the official career, which is not impossible. Of course, if these children did not perform well, they could only enjoy the corresponding treatment, but could not obtain the corresponding power.

It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to implement such a decree. However, Gao Yao now directly agreed to the rise of another academy without hesitation, which will undoubtedly make those meritorious officials feel a sense of crisis. They can't help but worry whether the education their children receive can win them corresponding positions, whether Gao Yao's previous promises can still count, and whether Gao Yao's move means that he intends to get rid of the donkey after it has done its work.

What is worrying is that these people are likely to overthink. Once they think too much, it is very likely to cause more problems and may even affect more people, which is really difficult to predict.

Especially since Gao Yao had just announced that he was going to go to war, this was a big deal, and it concerned the safety and future of the country. However, now this situation suddenly happened, which undoubtedly brought a huge shock and uncertainty to everyone. People couldn't help but start to speculate whether this series of events would affect each other, or even change the original plans and decisions.

"Well, what Xiao He said is not bad, but does anyone have any objections?"

Gao Yao's words seemed to be asking for everyone's opinions, but in fact, they made everyone feel more confused. After all, this matter was not that simple. Gao Yao's attitude on this matter was too surprising.

Gao Yao's behavior at this time was puzzling. He first admitted that Xiao He's words made sense, but then did not further explain or take action. This ambiguous attitude made the officials present even more confused and unable to accurately grasp Gao Yao's true intentions.

"Since everyone has their own ideas, I will not hide them any more. I hope you can think carefully about what I just said. I will wait for three days and then deal with this matter. At the same time, I will consider the matter of Baijia Academy."

Gao Yao finally gave a relatively clear instruction. He gave everyone three days to think and weigh before making a final decision. This not only showed his caution, but also gave everyone a buffer time.

"Your Majesty, this matter has been resolved. You can leave the court now!"

After Gao Yao finished speaking, he turned his head and looked directly at Gongzi Gao. His eyes revealed a kind of majesty and determination. He said that this was a request to Gongzi Gao. In fact, this was an order from Gao Yao to Gongzi Gao. Gongzi Gao did not dare to refute it and could only follow Gao Yao's wishes.

"Okay, in that case, let's stop here today and adjourn the court!"

As Gongzi Gao finished speaking, a chorus of responses suddenly rang out in the court: "Yes!"

This voice was like thunder, echoing in the main hall, seemingly showing the awe and obedience of the ministers to Gongzi Gao. But in fact, under this seemingly harmonious surface, they were all directed at Gao Yao, and many people had only a vague understanding of Gao Yao's last words.

Although Gao Yao's words were brief, the deep meaning contained in them was hard to grasp. His tone was calm, but it seemed to hide endless mysteries. The ministers looked at each other, secretly guessing Gao Yao's true intentions.

However, despite their doubts, the ministers quickly followed the etiquette and slowly left the main hall. Their movements were uniform and there was no hesitation, as if they were already accustomed to such procedures.

However, as everyone left the main hall, Gao Yao did not rush to leave like the others. He stood there quietly, looking around, as if observing something.

Gongzi Gao naturally did not dare to leave easily. Although he was very unhappy with Gao Yao's behavior, he was not stupid. He knew clearly who was the one who really held the power of life and death at this time. If Gao Yao wanted to take his life, then he would definitely not live to see tomorrow.

"You all stand down!"

Following Gao Yao's order, the maids and guards who were originally standing in the hall bowed and saluted, then quickly retreated like the tide. The entire hall suddenly became empty, with only Gao Yao and Master Gao left.

Gongzi Gao was surprised when he saw this scene. He knew that in this so-called Qin Palace, everyone obeyed Gao Yao. However, Gao Yao had never openly commanded the servants of Qin Palace in front of him. This sudden action clearly showed that things were not simple.

"Prime Minister, what are you..."

Gongzi Gao hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, with a hint of doubt and uneasiness in his voice.

Gao Yao smiled slightly and said slowly: "People from hundreds of families have petitioned the king many times and promised the king that as long as the academy is successfully established, those who will serve in the government in the future will definitely be under the King of Qin. Am I right?" His eyes fell on Gongzi Gao, as if observing his reaction.

When Gongzi Gao asked Gao Yao about his purpose with some trepidation, Gao Yao's words frightened Gongzi Gao so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Logically speaking, no one else should know about this matter, but Gao Yao knew it so well. How could Master Gao not be afraid?

"Your Excellency, you have misunderstood me. How could I have such an intention? Your Excellency can rest assured that I absolutely do not have such an idea. If someone says this to your Excellency, they are absolutely worthy of death."

After a little hesitation, Gongzi Gao immediately denied this statement. Whether meeting people from the Hundred Schools or negotiating with them, Gongzi Gao basically talked openly, but in fact he communicated with them on paper.

He had burned all the written notes himself. Unless the person from the Bai family betrayed him directly, Gao Yao would never know.

However, the probability of the Baijia people betraying themselves is indeed not high. After all, this is like shooting oneself in the foot. The Baijia people are not stupid, so how could they act like this?

Even if the people of Baijia were persuaded by Gao Yao to tell the truth, there is no evidence for this incident. Gongzi Gao can also insist that this incident was intentionally done by the people of Baijia to deliberately stir up discord between them.
