Chapter 830

Since Lord Gao was gone, this old man hasn't eaten well or slept well

The next day.

A ray of sunlight pierced through the dark clouds, illuminating the earth and bringing vitality and hope. Horses galloped in Changancheng, carrying the latest decree out of the palace.

Du Shuang would never understand what he had done wrong to make Wu Zhao so angry that he not only received thirty heavy beatings but was also dismissed from office.

This would become a mystery he would never solve until he died.

The same was true for Xu Xuanji.

That man had returned!

Outside the Jin Luan Hall.

Xu Xuanji walked along the long palace path inside the palace. The guards on both sides stood tall like sculptures, full of majesty!

He stood straight, wearing the purple robe unique to a Prime Minister, carrying a rich aura of a superior, with a faint smile on his face.

He stepped directly into the Jin Luan Hall and arrived at his own official position.

Slurp.

Without the Living Yama, even the air during the morning court was so fresh.

Refreshing!

Delightful!

Four days, the Duke's Mansion had even hung white mourning silk; this Living Yama must be cold.

In the large Jin Luan Hall, he, Xu Xuanji, was the head of all officials!

Without Gao Yang, Wu Zhao was like a tiger without claws, and the threat was greatly reduced. In the future, the power of the Prime Minister in Da Qian should rise!

Xu Xuanji looked at Wang Zhong and said painfully, "The Living Yama hasn't had any news for four days; he must have been harmed. Our Da Qian has lost such a good official; this old man is simply extremely pained."

Wang Zhong was full of spring breeze, standing straight, but also said painfully.

"Xu Xiang, this old man is also extremely pained. Since the Living Yama died, I haven't been able to sleep well; I can only sleep for six hours a night, and I haven't eaten well at every meal, only able to eat one big pork knuckle and three big bowls of white rice, sigh!"

Xu Xuanji's mouth twitched.

There are only twelve hours in a day, and Wang Zhong can sleep for six hours; this is called not sleeping well?

But he nodded and said, "It seems that Lord Gao's passing has been a great blow to Old General Wang; this old man is the same!"

"Although Her Majesty has also fallen into heartache, Changan cannot continue to be so chaotic. Millions of Changan people have been blocked for four consecutive days; the price is too high. Where does this put the Changan people!"

"I believe what Minister Xu says is reasonable." Wang Zhong stroked his beard and spoke directly.

"This old man thinks Xu Xiang is right." Wang Zhong stroked his beard and said directly.

At this time, Gao Feng also walked up wearing his official robe. Wang Zhong said directly to his face, "Vice Minister Gao, I can understand the pain of losing a son, I hope Vice Minister Gao will grieve!"

"No matter how sad you are, the Living Yama won't come back. Vice Minister Gao, be strong!"

He spoke to Gao Feng, although the words were very painful, the gloating was very obvious!

Gao Feng stared at Wang Zhong and said in surprise, "Old General Wang can also empathize with the pain of losing a son. Could it be that Old General Wang's son is also gone?"

As soon as Wang Zhong heard this, his expression changed.

"You..."

The beard on Wang Zhong's chin was trembling. He pointed at Gao Feng, his lips moving.

"Could it be that this official misunderstood?"

Gao Feng smiled, looking curious.

Wang Zhong stared at Gao Feng's face, feeling a bit broken.

Gao Feng got over the pain of losing his son so quickly? This reaction was completely different from what he thought!

And when did Gao Feng become so sharp-tongued?

It's fake!

It must be fake!

"Hmph!"

"Considering the pain of losing your son, this old man won't argue with you."

Wang Zhong turned and left directly.

Once Gao Yang dies, the influence of the Duke's Mansion will become weaker and weaker over time, even heading toward... destruction!

Now, let this Gao Feng be arrogant for a while!

"Her Majesty arrives!"

Accompanied by the eunuch's sharp voice, Wu Zhao, in a golden dragon robe, sat on the dragon chair with high spirits.

The officials bowed together.

"Long live Her Majesty, long live, long live."

Wu Zhao's cold gaze swept over the officials and raised her hand: "Rise!"

Her gaze focused on Xu Xuanji, and a smile slowly curled at the corners of her mouth.

Xu Xuanji's gaze met Wu Zhao's, and Xu Xuanji was inexplicably excited.

Her Majesty is... smiling at him.

But it is indeed so. The Living Yama hadn't had time to reveal his relationship with the Empress Dowager before being hijacked by the Heartless Sect.

Now that the Living Yama is gone, and Wu Zhao doesn't know the truth, he, Xu Xuanji, as the head of all officials, should be the number one person in Wu Zhao's heart.

"All officials, if you have anything to report, speak."

Wu Zhao's gaze swept toward the officials and spoke slowly.

Today's morning court, in her heart, was originally a difficult storm.

But with Gao Yang's return, everything was solved, and now she was even looking forward to it.

"Your Majesty, this subject has something to report."

Xu Xuanji stepped out, his face cold.

He sighed in his heart, sorry Your Majesty, this subject is the Empress Dowager's person.

Instantly, the eyes of all the officials focused on Xu Xuanji.

Cui Xinghe and Lu Wen all looked over, their eyes deep.

The entire Jin Luan Hall, with Xu Xuanji's words, instantly changed its atmosphere.

"What does Xu Xiang have to report?"

Wu Zhao stared at Xu Xuanji, her voice echoing in the Jin Luan Hall.

"Your Majesty, first of all, this subject expresses deep pain regarding Lord Gao's encounter!"

"These assassins must be severely punished! But having said that, four days have passed, and the hope of Lord Gao's survival is already very low."

Wu Zhao was not surprised at all, her voice cold, "Xu Xiang, if you have something to say, just say it."

Xu Xuanji was full of righteousness, his voice resounding loudly.

"Your Majesty, now that four days have passed since Lord Gao was hijacked, the entire Changancheng has been blocked for four days, and the people are suffering."

"Today, for the sake of the millions of people in Changancheng, no matter how much Your Majesty values Lord Gao, no matter how you punish this subject, this subject must stand up!"
