Chapter 852 If the Prime Minister Dies

However, Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo's assurances only made the haze hanging over everyone's heads even heavier.

After Zhang Ji mentioned that Li Ji, who was still in a coma, needed to rest, and invited everyone out of the courtyard, Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo hurriedly left on the pretext of going back to prepare medicine personally.

After Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo left, Cai Zhaoji couldn't stop wiping her tears, and the other disciples also had red eyes.

"What crime has the Prime Minister committed? The King of Han has injured the Prime Minister so severely that his life or death is uncertain..." Xu Shu began to cry.

"Ten days! Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Yuanhua just said, if the teacher can't wake up within ten days, what should we do?" Guo Jia's face was dull and his eyes seemed to be absent-minded.

Sima Yi even beat his chest and stamped his feet, speaking with a look of grief and anger on his face.

"Even if the teacher can survive the gates of hell, it will be difficult for him to walk like a normal person in the future. Alas! How sad and painful!"

The next moment, the sinister look on Sima Yi's face was almost unconcealed. He held the sword at his waist tightly and said.

"I am where I am today, all thanks to you, teacher. If anything goes wrong with you, I can still kill you with my sword..."

Before Sima Yi could finish speaking, Cai Zhaoji suddenly interrupted.

"Stop talking! Stop talking!"

Immediately, Cai Zhaoji bowed to everyone and said.

"My husband is still in danger of dying, and as Mr. Zhongjing said, he needs to rest. Please go back first. I will thank you again when my husband recovers."

Upon hearing this, the disciples led by Guo Jia hurriedly returned the greeting, and then retreated with sad expressions on their faces.

Seeing this, Jiang Gan, who had not been able to say anything, had no choice but to leave.

But just as Jiang Gan and his men left the Prime Minister's Mansion, a large group of armored guards surrounded the Mansion.

Xu Shu, Guo Jia, Sima Yi and others stepped forward to stop the questioning, but they were informed that this was an order from the King of Han, "to prevent irrelevant people from entering and leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion to prevent anyone from affecting the Prime Minister's recovery from illness."

Guo Jia and others were very angry, but facing the glaring weapons, they had to retreat temporarily.

As the extremely angry crowd walked to a secluded place, Xu Shu could no longer hold back and spoke.

"Does the King of Han really want to kill the Prime Minister?"

Sima Yi couldn't help but sneer and said, "I'm afraid the King of Han has also heard about the teacher's critical illness, so he is making preparations early..."

"The King of Han may not have intended to kill the teacher, but if the teacher can't survive and the news leaks out, the Han Dynasty will be in chaos, and someone will avenge the teacher!"

Guo Jia smashed the wine gourd that had accompanied him for many years heavily to the ground. A look of deep heartache flashed across his eyes, and tears really flowed.

"But now that the King of Han has sealed off the Prime Minister's residence, how can outsiders learn about the Prime Minister's situation? The fear is that the King of Han will turn his fake play into reality and take advantage of the situation to get rid of the Prime Minister."

Hearing this, Xu Shu couldn't help but blurt out a rebuttal.

"No! No, the King of Han is a benevolent man. He was just confused for a moment and accidentally hurt the Prime Minister. He definitely does not intend to murder the Prime Minister."

Sima Yi, who was playing himself, spoke with a sinister look on his face.

"Xu Yuanzhi, are you still so pedantic even today? Ask the eunuchs who were executed by the emperors in all dynasties, some of whom had made contributions to the Han Dynasty, what was their fate?"

"When the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden. This is the mindset of the emperor. The King of Han can no longer resist and has already taken action in advance."

Guo Jia nodded in agreement and said.

"That's right. We can't just sit there and wait for death. We can't watch the Prime Minister die in the palace. I intend to quickly contact the generals from all over the country and go to Shouchun to persuade the King of Han!"

"Are you crazy?! If this happens, the Han Dynasty will be in chaos." Xu Shu objected without thinking. "If the Prime Minister dies, the Han Dynasty will only be in more chaos. This is for the country, for the people, and even more for the Prime Minister."

Guo Jia spoke in a firm tone, then glanced at everyone present and asked.

"What do you think?"

Sima Yi was the first to speak. "This is the only plan that can save the Prime Minister and the Han Dynasty. I will not object!"

Moreover, Sima Yi and Guo Jia's hands were secretly placed on the hilts of the swords at their waists, implying that they were willing to resolve any disagreement on the spot.

Xu Shu hesitated, but only for a few breaths, then sighed and nodded in agreement.

In the end, the pressure undoubtedly fell on Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and Jiang Gan, who had never spoken out.

At this point, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong had already guessed most of the truth.

After all, when a group of disciples were escorting Li Ji back home, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong observed Li Ji's condition closely.

Although Li Ji's hair was disheveled and his face was covered in blood, if you looked closely, you could undoubtedly see that his complexion was still as rosy as usual.

Li Ji...is pretending.

Although Li Ji didn't mind using a self-torture tactic, Zhou Yu was willing to beat Huang Gai, but Liu Bei would never agree to hurt his prime minister for a villain like Jiang Gan.

It was precisely to avoid exposing any flaws that Sima Yi, Xu Shu and Guo Jia, who were aware of the situation, surrounded Li Ji and did not give Jiang Gan a chance to get close.

In order to prevent loopholes and the situation from getting out of control, Li Ji also deliberately transferred Sun Ce, a disciple with extraordinary martial arts skills, from Shouchun.

After all, not only is Sun Ce's acting skills poor, he is also easily angered and irritable. They were just afraid that Sun Ce would cause trouble and ruin the show.

When Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong also expressed their attitudes, all the pressure undoubtedly fell on Jiang Gan.

Jiang Gan immediately spoke with grief and indignation.

"I wish to share life and death with the Prime Minister."

"Okay! Let's swear an oath by shaking hands. Without further delay, we should quickly contact trustworthy generals and rush back to Shouchun. At the very least, we need to force the King of Han to give up the siege on the Prime Minister's Mansion..."

After a pause, Sima Yi spoke with a fierce look on his face.

"If the situation reaches the worst point, we must be prepared to forcibly snatch the Prime Minister from the palace."

"it is good!"

Everyone responded, clapped their hands as an oath, and then dispersed quickly and carefully.

When Jiang Gan carefully returned to the mansion, he felt his heart still beating wildly and had a vague feeling that he could see chaos coming.

Jiang Gan, who had no connections with the generals in the army, naturally could not contact anyone.

However, even Jiang Gan understood that the situation in the Han Dynasty was about to change dramatically, and the impact was even greater than the killing of He Jin by the Ten Eunuchs many years ago.

Once many generals entered Shouchun, whether Li Ji was dead or not, Liu Bei would be in a difficult situation and a split between the two sides would be almost inevitable.

The biggest possibility is that a huge civil unrest will break out.

Liu Bei, the King of Han who originally had the potential to unify the world, will now lose his chance of unifying the country.

Immediately, Jiang Gan, who had just sent a secret letter half a day ago, hurriedly wrote another secret letter and sent it out, stating that Li Ji's disciples were preparing to contact generals from all over the country to enter Shouchun. (End of this chapter)
