Luo Sigong was very satisfied with the black-clothed man's reply.
"Okay, by the way, have you bought all those people?"
The man in black immediately nodded. "We've bribed them all. Now, everyone on this line is our people. It's a pity that we really can't find out the contents of those two letters. Zhang Cheng is also a stubborn old servant who only listens to His Majesty. Right now, I only know that Zhang Cheng seems to be doing something."
Luo Sigong slapped his thigh.
"It's all Xiao Ruxun's fault! Sowing discord! He had caused the good situation to become like this! Your life and mine are in danger! Seeing that the imperial court was in chaos, who knew what other terrifying things would happen! Sigh! Treacherous officials are harming the country!
Last time, Cabinet Elder Wang did not hesitate to use his own life to stop His Majesty from making a mistake. This time, Cabinet Elder Shen did not know if he would have the courage to do so! Can't you get in touch with the Empress Dowager? "
"That's because Zhang Cheng is in charge. His Majesty trusts Zhang Cheng the most now. The people he chose are all stubborn and stubborn. I really can't do anything about it."
Luo Sigong nodded irritably.
"Commander, His Majesty wants to kill you and Zhang Jing. It doesn't matter to Zhang Jing, but if you … Then His Majesty will really have no one to protect him. If that traitor Xiao wins another battle and brings his troops back to take the opportunity to rebel, what should we do? Why didn't you inform His Majesty? "
"Your Majesty has a lot of misunderstandings about me because of the Jin Merchant's grain storage. Now, Your Majesty only believes in Scoundrel Xiao alone. If I were to speak to you now, wouldn't it be the same as saying that I'm a plum in a melon field? Wouldn't that make Her Majesty trust Thief Xiao more? I don't care about my own life. I'm just worried that His Majesty will be bewitched too deeply by that traitor Xiao. When the time comes, he will know who the traitor really is! "
Luo Sigong's face was full of worry. "You can't say anything. His Majesty is very suspicious now. If you say anything, His Majesty will definitely suspect that you have been bribed. Even your life will be in danger. That will be terrible! No one can protect Her Majesty from Xiao Luo! "
"What if Your Majesty orders me to do something to you and Zhang Jing … What should I do?"
The man in black looked at Luo Sigong worriedly.
He saw Luo Sigong's righteous face.
"I have long put life and death out of my mind. The Imperial Bodyguard was meant to die for His Majesty, but I will never allow Thief Xiao to steal and Daming the world. I have decided to join hands with Minister Shen to eliminate Thief Xiao! Before that, you must do your best to protect His Majesty! "
The man in black was moved by Luo Sigong's spirit.
"I will do my utmost to serve the commander! I will not let that thief Xiao succeed! "
Luo Sigong smiled.
"Alright, you can go now. If there's anything else, make sure to inform me in time, understand?"
"Understood!"
The man in black left the room and once again disappeared into the deep night.
Luo Sigong narrowed his eyes and stared at the weak candlelight in the room, thinking carefully.
The spies were stabilized. Of the dozens of secret letters between the Emperor and Xiao Ruxun, eight had been read by Luo Sigong, and the rest had been voluntarily revealed by the Emperor.
But there were two letters that had completed their mission and been burned before Luo Sigong took action. So far, Luo Sigong did not know what was said in those two letters. If it was about something important, it would not be good.
What did the two secret letters, which no longer exist, say?
At the moment, he did not have anything on Xiao Ruxun. He did not know how to threaten Xiao Ruxun. His intuition told him that there must be information he needed to know in those two secret letters.
Unfortunately, even if he had the spies in hand, he could not know what the two secret letters that had disappeared said.
He did not know what Zhang Cheng was doing.
He did not know what the Emperor's plot was.
How much did Xiao Ruxun tell the Emperor?
Was Shen Yicheng worth allying with?
Luo Sigong already knew that the Emperor treated him the same on the surface, but in reality, he no longer trusted him. He was secretly selecting someone to replace him, preparing to get rid of him and reorganize the Imperial Bodyguard.
His intuition, which had been honed for many years, gave him a premonition of danger. He had a premonition that some danger was coming.
And the instigator of all this was, without a doubt, Xiao Ruxun.
This damned bastard did things that others did not dare to do, said things that others did not dare to say, caught him unprepared, and almost caused him to lose his life! This bastard!
He had worked so hard for the Emperor for so many years, and had done so many things for the Emperor, but because of a few words from that bastard Xiao Ruxun, the Emperor wanted to kill him!
Luo Sigong's hatred for Xiao Ruxun was hard to contain.
How many years of hard work, how many years of hard work, how many years of hard work, were able to seal the Emperor's eyes and ears, not letting the Emperor understand the true situation of the officials and the local areas? Only then could the Great Ming court maintain the most basic stability.
Now, a moment of carelessness and the sudden appearance of Xiao Ruxun had actually caused the entire court of civil and military officials to face such a terrifying situation. If the Emperor were to really flip out, and Xiao Ruxun really returned with her troops, everyone's lives would really be in danger.
Luo Sigong didn't believe that there was anyone in the imperial court who could go against Xiao Ruxun in terms of military affairs. He didn't know where this beast of a beast got his abilities from, but he was so good at fighting. One person and one army, he killed his way from Ningxia to North Korea, and from North Korea to Myanmar, and he didn't lose a single battle.
This person had completely sided with the Emperor, giving the Emperor great confidence, and giving the Emperor some ideas and courage that he did not have before.
Didn't it happen once before?
At that time, Wang Xijue and Empress Dowager Li had turned the tide, and everyone thought that the Emperor had given up. Who knew that Xiao Ruxun had evil intentions and told the Emperor that kind of news, greatly provoking the Emperor, causing the Emperor to suspect that everything he saw and heard was fake, and he no longer trusted the East Faction Guards and the Imperial Bodyguard.
This was very bad.
When the Emperor and the officials fought, the unlucky one would definitely be himself. No matter who won or lost, he would not have a good ending. But in comparison, the officials had a better chance of winning. After all, it was not the first time that the officials had won.
It all depended on what price Shen Yicheng could offer. As long as it was enough, he could completely side with Shen Yicheng, assist Shen Yicheng to cripple Xiao Ruxun, and blind the Emperor's eyes and ears. As for the rest, he did not care.
He also did not care whether Zhu Yijun would walk the same path as Zhu Houzhao.
The Daming Imperial Court had hundreds of thousands of members, and the one thing they did not lack the most was a candidate to be the Emperor, was it not?
In short, everyone's lives, and his own, must not be threatened by a military general.
Strong fear and unease dominated Luo Sigong.
