Jin Zhong naturally knew that the situation was serious, and immediately reported the news to his father.
When Prime Minister Kim Tae learned of this news, he was not particularly angry.
He simply looked at his son Jinzhong with a calm expression, his eyes filled with disappointment and frustration.
However, as a prime minister who had been able to wield power for many years, Kim Tae naturally had some tricks up his sleeve.
Especially when facing emergencies, they have their own set of mature handling methods.
"You handled this matter very poorly!"
Jin Tai shouted angrily, "If you wanted to beat those scholars, why didn't you kidnap Jiang Xiao, Jin Zhengyan, Huang Desheng and the others first?"
"You have absolutely no brains!"
Jin Zhong's forehead was drenched in sweat.
Faced with the reprimand, they dared not utter a single word.
He naturally knew that Jiang Xiao's death had brought his father a lot of trouble.
"They're more trouble than they're worth!"
Jin Tai said coldly, "Go and find out who killed Jiang Xiao."
Don't keep it!
"Father,"
Jin Zhong shook his head slightly and said, "When my son came, he had already instructed people to investigate."
To this day, the culprit has not been identified.
Moreover, everyone present today said that no one harmed Jiang Xiao.
"None of them?"
Jin Tai couldn't help but laugh in anger, "They didn't even make a move, so did they think Jiang Xiao was killed on her own?"
Was he killed by a ghost? What a joke!
"Father is right!"
Jin Zhong quickly lowered his head and replied, "Son will definitely investigate thoroughly!"
"in addition,"
Jin Tai took a deep breath, thought carefully for a moment, and then said, "Order the entire capital city to be under martial law, and forbid anyone from leaving the capital city!"
Arrest everyone who participated in the parade!
Whether they escaped or stayed behind, arrest them all, leave no one alive!
Spread a message throughout the city that spies from the Prince Xin's mansion have sabotaged the city's defenses and the situation is critical!
The order was given that everyone was kept indoors and martial law was enforced!
Kim Tae chose to do this in order to suppress the news and control its spread.
Once the situation stabilizes, they will link the deaths of Jiang Xiao and others to spies from the Prince Xin's Mansion, shifting all blame onto others.
At that point, by leveraging the authority of the Prime Minister's office, this matter can be dropped.
This is also a method that Kim Tae, as someone in a position of power, usually uses.
However, this matter is no longer effective.
While Kim Tae and his men were making preparations, the spies from the Prince Shin's mansion, who had been lurking in the capital of Silla, had already begun their operation.
News of the deaths of Jiang Xiao, Jin Zhengyan, and others spread like wildfire throughout the entire Silla Kingdom.
As for Jin Zhong, he is still searching for the mastermind behind Jiang Xiao's death, but he obviously can't find it.
It no longer matters who killed Jiang Xiao.
The important thing is that Jiang Xiao is really dead!
As the leader of the Qingliu faction, Jiang Xiao's students naturally included not only the thousands of people in the capital city, but also officials scattered throughout Silla's various prefectures and counties, as well as students from all over Silla.
The number of people is far more than several thousand or tens of thousands!
News of the deaths of Jiang Xiao and Jin Zhengyan, along with the news of martial law being declared in the capital, spread like wildfire.
For a time, the entire Silla Kingdom was gripped by fear.
Students from some prefectures and counties also spontaneously organized street parades to put pressure on the government and demand a thorough investigation into the cause of Jiang Xiao's death.
However, no matter how much they investigated, it was to no avail.
After all, Jiang Xiao died under the martial law order of the Prime Minister's residence, and also died because of his resistance against the Prime Minister's residence's alliance with Da Gan.
In recent years, Dongning merchant ships have been coming and going, and thousands of households in Silla have been using goods from Dongning.
Now that Silla is severing all ties with Dongnyeong, it will naturally provoke a backlash from the people.
In a short period of time, under the deliberate or unintentional instigation of spies from the Prince of Shin's palace, public resentment boiled over in Silla, and undercurrents surged in various places.
Although they did not show it due to the pressure from the Prime Minister's Office, it was clear that a large group of people in Silla were already very dissatisfied with the Prime Minister's Office.
...
News from within Silla naturally reached Yuguan City as well.
When Li Xin heard the news, he was stunned, and then a smile appeared on his lips.
"Heh! This He Tongyuan is quite a skilled one!"
Li Xin praised, "I didn't expect that you would pull off something like this within Silla territory."
In this way, even if Silla were to truly ally with Daegan and send troops north, it would likely be unable to deploy many soldiers.
People across the land are indignant. If Silla were to withdraw all its troops to the north, without the pressure of a large army, it would be difficult to guarantee that a rebellion would not occur.
Haha, He Tongyuan handled this matter very well!
This has relieved some of our pressure!
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Zhao Bingzhang smiled and nodded, saying, "The three armies will ultimately fail!"
In this light, we don't need to send a large army back to defend Silla. I estimate that Liu Jingxuan, He Tongyuan, and Bai Fenglan can hold off the Silla army in Dongning by relying on the guard battalion and militia!
"We should keep our attention focused on the enemy forces within the Great Wall and the bandits on the grasslands!"
"Uh-huh!"
Li Xin frowned slightly and said, "We should also give Silla a push over their affairs."
He Tongyuan's suggestion is excellent. Let's spread the word about the agreement between the Da Gan court and Silla.
Although our Jiangnan newspaper office was shut down, it still circulated in various provinces.
