Chapter 128: The curtain has come to an end
Quiet hospital, full of the smell of disinfectant water.
On the top floor of the VIP building on the west side of the hospital lived the only patient, his name was Evans, and he touched everyone's hearts more than the legendary princess who lived in a coffin and waited for the white horse Tang monk to wake up.
When Evans woke up from the long darkness, he was stunned for a long time before he realized that he was in the hospital. Turning his head, Christophe was sitting on a large soft seat beside the bed peeling apples, his lowered eyes were still rare red, but his outfit was still the same as usual, and his hair was meticulously combed.
It's the hands that are too white at first glance that they never work, and an apple is peeled so that only a core remains.
"Are you awake?" Christopher woke up and looked up at him, but there was no surprise in his eyes, "You can sleep a little longer." â
"Why are you here?" Evans is not stupid, although he and Christopher have crossed paths a few times, but he knows very well in his heart that they are enemies, not friends.
"I'll take care of you." Christopher took it for granted, he got up and sat down on the edge of the bed, leaned over and shoved the peeled apple into Evans' mouth, and smiled, "From now on, I will take care of you, Mr. Evans." â
Evans suddenly became a little hairy, Christopher's smile was a smile that might add rat poison to him in a salt water bottle in the future, which made people's scalp tingle.
"We don't seem to know each other?"
Christopher continued to smile, "What, I'm here to take care of you, do you feel wronged?" â
Evans had just woken up, and he was still very weak, and he didn't want to ask for hardship, so he shut up decisively. Seeing this, Christophe sat back in his soft chair, crossed his legs, picked up the newspaper and tea, and put on a parasol to pretend that he was on vacation.
But Evans could sense that Christopher was in a bad mood.
He's not stupid either, Christophe must be here for a reason, maybe it has something to do with his injury.
Is he involved?
Well, in fact, Evans doesn't care, it doesn't matter who wants to kill him, so many people, isn't it too annoying to remember one by one, the most important thing now is
"Hey, I want to go to the bathroom." Evans turned his head and said.
Christopher didn't move.
"I said I was going to the bathroom."
Christopher flipped the page, still ignoring him.
Evans sighed faintly, "I'm going to wet the bed, you remember to change the sheets for me." â
Christopher couldn't bear it anymore, dropped the newspaper and lifted the quilt, "Get up." â
Evans looked at him quietly, "I'm injured and can't move. â
Stout erupted on Christopher's forehead.
Evans still looked at him quietly.
Christopher forced a breath of anger and let out a constipated smile, "I'll help you." â
In the hospital, a world was cut off from one floor, and Evans was very sensible not to ask when he would be discharged, and he could tell from Christopher's reaction that this time Dean was definitely not having a good time. He himself is a small person, and he can bear it the most.
On the other hand, the parliament's press conference was held as scheduled to respond to last night's assassination and the recent series of incidents against the parliament. The person in charge of speaking was Joey and Liu Huai, another councillor sent by Qin Wuyan.
The following is the reporter asking questions like a cannonball, and the above is the two sides debating, and the press conference scene is not exciting.
Although Qin Wuyan has always disliked the speed of his tongue, it does not mean that there are no people under him who can speak well, and this Liu Huai is one of them.
But the more Liu Huai talked about it, the more he felt Alexander. Whether it's his tone, expression, or rhetoric, Joey is just like his father. Confident, calm, sincere, and with that good look, it's hard for you to escape his gaze when listening to him.
This can't help but remind Liu Huai of what his professor told him when he was in school before-To be a good politician, you must first be a good actor.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Council has never wanted to blind everyone's minds. Frankly speaking, all of this is derived from what everyone calls democracy and freedom. When people feel that their demands cannot be met, when they feel that the parliament is rotten, some people start to seek change. However, not all methods are correct, and not all evil deeds can be dressed in the cloak of justice! Joey propped his hands on the stage, his eyes looking at the camera sincerely, as if looking at thousands of people through it, "The Ottoid Empire has continued to this day, and all its systems have been strictly reformed, and every noble member of the parliament, including everyone in the military department and every system in society, is a commoner before they become nobles." This is true for me, for Councillor Liu, and for Admiral He, and we should not discriminate against a person because of his status, both for the commoners and for the nobles. â
Liu Huai instinctively wanted to refute, but found that he had no position to refute.
And Joey has already continued, "I am the current Minister of Education, and in the military schools under my jurisdiction, there are military schools composed of most of the children of nobles such as the Royal Military Academy, and there are also military schools like Wisteria Flower that have no class of education, their backgrounds are different, and their growth experiences are different, but Helan is very good, Tang Chuan is also very good, and society has changed when everyone has not paid careful attention." I can only say that all changes cannot be brought about overnight, please give the council a little time, give everyone a little time, killing people can't change any status quo, that's a crime, it's the beginning of evil. â
When these words are roughly heard, they seem to make sense.
When you think about it, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that.
But before I knew it, the rhythm of the entire press conference was taken away by Joey, and the topic was deviated to nowhere. He doesn't seem shy about talking about the most sensitive topics of the moment, and you think he has a point, but in reality?
He didn't promise you anything.
Liu Huai pursed his lips, carefully thought about the words in his mind, and then stood up as well, and just wanted to say something, but his assistant hurriedly ran over and whispered a few words to him.
Liu Huai's face changed immediately, and his sharp gaze swept straight at Joey, as if he was about to erupt anger from it. Joey felt something, turned around and smiled elegantly, "Does Councilor Liu have anything to say?" Evans was personally brought into the council by Speaker Qin, and I think you should empathize with what happened to him, right? â
Yes, empathize, how can you not empathize?!
Liu Huai was so angry that his teeth itched, but he remembered what the assistant said just now, and suppressed his anger again, "Minister Joy is right, I don't have any objections." â
What can Joey do? It's nothing more than arresting people and blackmailing this kind of unpopular deed, but this trick is just as effective no matter what era it is.
Then you have to ask why you didn't threaten it early in the morning. It's very simple, what if Qin Wuyan is noticed, or Liu Huai takes the initiative to confess, and the press conference hasn't started yet, what if Qin Wuyan is replaced? Now that the press conference is halfway through, there is nothing to change, just right.
As for whether Liu Huai will fight back afterwards, it doesn't matter, of course Joey has a way to shut him up.
However, the press conference did not go as smoothly as Liu Huai had imagined, and near the end, a riot suddenly broke out.
Someone hid in the pile of reporters in disguise and shot Joey in public. Although he was immediately killed by the security guards at the scene, Joey couldn't dodge it and was shot in the shoulder.
The press conference was interrupted, and the major media accurately grasped the news point, and the camera followed Joey who was sent to the ambulance all the way, and released the news of his injury as soon as possible.
Liu Huai was squeezed out of the crowd, and everyone seemed to have forgotten about his existence, which was Joey's show alone from beginning to end.
He was stunned for a moment at first, glad that it wasn't him who was shot, and secretly hated why he didn't kill Joey with a single shot. But when he walked out of the venue and saw the ambulance roaring away, his sense of political and political smell for many years made him suddenly figure out the cause and effect.
Joey was shot, he was shot after he had said that heartfelt word!
He seems to think about everyone a lot, he put nobles and commoners on the same step, but he was still assassinated on the spot, and now he is on his way to the hospital for treatment!
Liu Huai suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
He knew that today the bullet would never fall on him.
Because that's what Joey has for himself.
In the ambulance, Joey lay quietly, bleeding from his shoulder, but there was no trace of pain on his face, he turned his head, and did not forget to tease, "Anna, you still don't want people to bandage me?" If I continue like this, I'm going to bleed too much and die. â
Anna was his chief assistant, and the blonde beauty was surprised, "Did the bullet pierce the special blood bag?" â
"No blood bags, Anna." The corners of Joey's mouth curled into a good-looking arc, "You have to do a full set of plays, if you don't come to the real thing, how can you make people believe it?" â
Anna was dumbfounded.
"Oh yes, Anna, help me get to that hospital in Evans."
In April, the weather starts to get hot.
Joey and Evans are admitted to the same hospital, and people who want to visit Evans are bound to come to visit Joey, and they are usually not very friendly, so the hospital is bustling with activity every day.
However, Joey's bitter trick finally achieved its due results. That shot was so real that it almost made Joey burp, and the news released all the words he said at the press conference and the video of the shot, and the public opinion offensive that exploded like a powder keg a moment ago suddenly slowed down.
Dean also stepped forward to speak, as one of the actual rulers of Parliament, as Joey's father, the mild-mannered speaker bent over the camera.
He didn't talk as eloquently as before, and the hair on his sideburns seemed to be whiter, which made people sigh. In this way, when people who stomp their feet on weekdays and are about to shake in Kyoto, bend down, many people's psychology is inexplicably balanced.
Moms and aunts wiped their tears, what a good father.
Even if Joey only received a basket of flowers from his secretary, it at least meant that he was basically satisfied with Joey's cousin.
And the parliamentary election has also come to an end in this farce after farce, and the parliament has indeed changed according to the trend as Joey said, this time the proportion of civilian parliamentarians has increased by a large percentage compared to previous years. The result was undoubtedly encouraging, and the crowd that had gathered in front of the Twin Ridges Building all day long to protest dispersed.
Many people began to seek a softer approach, urging the parliament to make more changes through repeated speeches and complaints.
The parliamentary elections were concluded in conjunction with the opening week of the two schools.
This time the Open Week was much more peaceful than in previous years, and after seeing off their comrades in the Royal Military Academy, Tang Chuan and Qin Hai returned to Helan's dormitory to hold a regular meeting of the Sufeng team.
Open the summary of recent events, it's really exciting.
Tang Chuan threw a cherry in his mouth, raised his eyebrows, and made the following summary, "It's good, the proportion of civilians has increased a lot, but they are all at the bottom." The noble councillors have been promoted a lot, and they are all high, and now it seems that the Supreme Council has also taken advantage of this wave of cover to complete the reorganization. â
Everyone followed his gaze, twelve people, twelve resumes lined up.
People always see one thing and ignore what is more important behind it. As long as the Supreme Council exists, there will never be true democracy. As long as the one in the twilight palace is still firmly seated on the throne, the supreme council, there will always be zĂ i.
It's a ring, a ring that seems unsolvable.
But there is a long way to go, and it is not a good thing to be discouraged too early, and it will be prematurely senile - said Master Tang.
Tang Chuan clapped his hands, "Okay, it's time for us to appear next." â
