Chapter Seventy-Eight
Yoo rubbed his temples irritably. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Since Jiang Zuming was assassinated and unconscious, he has been sleepless for two days and two nights. There is no way, at this moment, he must manage the civil and military officials, and even the logistics and supply of the front-line army. Although there is no money in the treasury, it is no longer able to support the war on the front.
There are a lot of things to deal with inside and outside the palace, and there are also matters submitted by various regions that need to be discussed and handled, but unfortunately the officials below are not very cooperative. Even if he is so intelligent that he is close to a demon, it is difficult to continue.
Yoo Sang-sang is now hoping for only two things. First, Jiang Zuming can wake up, even if it is just for a moment, and issue an order to let him take power, so that he can command hundreds of officials, so that the decree can be effective and unimpeded, instead of being obstructed everywhere like now. No one wants him to be in power alone, and everyone wants a piece of this whirlpool.
Although Liu Xiang knew, the possibility of this thing was very small. Not to mention for the time being, can Jiang Zuming wake up, even if he wakes up, it is impossible to let him have the power alone, how is this different from letting him ascend the throne? As the emperor, how could Jiang Zuming let Liu Xiang's power be as big as his?
The second thing is that Gao Hongxuan can come back. With military power in hand, even if it is in the hands of others, those guys in the capital who are ready to move will be a little more settled, and they will not be as unscrupulous as they are now, or even have bad intentions. For the guy who destroys the stability of the country, Gao Hongxuan will not be the slightest soft. No matter who you are, when your life is threatened, you will never have any other thoughts, and saving your life is the first priority. As long as Gao Hongxuan can come back, those people will have a sharp blade hanging over their heads, and they will no longer dare to be bold.
There is one more thing that he has always buried deep in his heart and does not dare to tell anyone. He knew that once he spoke out, the deepest bond in his heart might be destroyed by his own hands, and even the entire Prime Minister's Mansion would be involved.
On the second day of Jiang Zuming's assassination, he also went to the prison. He originally intended to just go to the prison to see if Ruofeng had asked who was behind the scenes. Although he didn't like the cruelty and bloodiness of the prison, for the safety of His Majesty, in order to find out who was behind the scenes and get the antidote, he still stepped into the dark prison.
The environment in the prison was a hundred times worse than he had imagined. The eerie and damp environment, if it weren't for the torches shining on both sides, would be almost so dark that you couldn't see your fingers. Not only were there the sounds of wailing and torture, but there was also a faint smell of rancidity, as if a corpse was rotting inside, and there was an air of despair.
It's no wonder that this is the case, the prison is locked up by some people who are going to die, and the guards in the prison are notoriously ruthless, and can do anything to ask for information. In such an environment, how can people not have desperate thoughts.
Coming to the middle of the prison, Liu Xiang finally saw Ruofeng. He was torturing the three captured assassins.
The three Assassins were placed on a wooden cross, their lute bones pierced and locked to the frame by thumb-thick chains, and their movements were painful. There was no good skin on their bodies, except for countless whip marks, and more than a dozen palm-sized marks, and the smell of barbecue was in the air. Clearly, they had just been burned.
But even after suffering such torture, the three of them still held their heads high, glaring angrily at Ruofeng, without the slightest consciousness of being a prisoner.
Liu Xiang had no intention of sweeping it, but he didn't expect to see an acquaintance among them. It was this person who made his palms clench.
The man he saw also stared at him, and there was a sense of anxiety on his face. Even though his face was covered in blood, the changes in his mood were still captured by Ruofeng and Liu Xiang.
Yoo Sang-sang was even more convinced of what he was thinking.
"The Prime Minister knows this person?" Ruofeng asked, as if he had discovered something in the man's gaze.
"Such a chaotic minister and thief, how can he know his true appearance?" Liu Xiang flicked his sleeves and feigned anger.
"It's a presumptuousness." Liu was in a high position, and Ruofeng didn't want to offend him because of his doubts, so he didn't ask again. But I secretly noticed it in my heart.
"The prime minister still has important matters to deal with, if Commander Ruofeng has news of the thief, he can come to the prime minister's mansion." After Liu Xiang finished speaking, he didn't look at the man again, and walked out of the prison. But only he knew how anxious and tangled he was in his heart, and even his steps were a little messy.
