"Is he still refusing to cooperate?" You Jing rubbed his temples and asked with his eyes closed.

This is the former Consul of the Republic. Before taking the throne, the crown prince chose to handle state affairs in the consul's office.

Anyway, he is very familiar with this place, isn't he?

Croto nodded, hesitant to speak.

The post-war order needs to be rebuilt, and the power of the government is handed over. The high-level officials are very busy. However, as the heir of the Croto family and the most respected elector, he was sent to Do the work of managing war criminals.

What is even more irritating is that he knows the real reason why You Jing appointed him. When Yegor lost his mind, he only wanted to get close to a group of childish Crotos, so the Crown Prince hoped that he could persuade Yegor to plead guilty and surrender.

But Yegor now is completely different from the person who gave him the biscuits back then, okay?He was like a knife buried in the snow, no matter how much Croto babbled, he ignored it.

If it is in a war, such a hard-boned Kroto can defeat ten of them a day.But he absolutely, absolutely did not dare to touch Yegor.

After all, the empire has already won, and people like Yegor have completely lost their use value. The reason why the Crown Prince wants him to cooperate is to be able to pardon him after the trial. The premise is that Yegor must publicly declare that he accepts the rule of the empire .

The adult world is really complicated.

You Jing has not had a good time recently.Defeating the enemy is a very simple matter, the difficulty is to unite the opposing sides.One of the reasons why he used his status as a consul to depose those officials involved in the sneak attack of the Eko Kingdom before taking Orpheus and emptied the Council of Elders was that the empire naturally did not have the legitimacy to judge this matter— —Those people are treasonous sinners to the Republic, but to the Empire, they are just allies who have been greedy for profit.

And even after destroying Orpheus's original system, he still needs to use some of the old government's personnel. Their cooperation will make the takeover of the empire smoother, but this will hurt the interests of the empire's subordinates.

It is not easy to please everyone.

Especially Su Se, he directly broke into You Jing's office and asked You Jing to execute Lu Mingyang.

"I have nothing, You Jing, and I don't care if this country will be dragged into the abyss and kill Lu Mingyang, unless you want everyone to know that you are just an alien who took up this body, You Zheng's diary clearly remembers it Clear. Your rule will be overthrown immediately."

The legitimacy of You Jing's rule has been questioned all the time. The entire Lyra constellation knows that he is You Bushu's son. How could he suddenly become the heir to the imperial family?The most widely circulated theory is that he is the child that You Bushu picked up in the palace that year. This statement seems appropriate, but it inevitably damages You Bushu's glorious image.

Moreover, how to explain the fact that Youjia and his son are almost carved out of the same mold?

You Jing believes that Su Se can do it. He has a temper of vengeance, and he has been deceived by others, by his parents, by Yegor, by You Jing, and even You Zheng.

He leaned back in the chair, raised his head and sighed, and said, "You can talk to Lu Mingyang yourself."

"I don't want to talk to him, I just want him to die," Suther said sharply.

"That's all I ask. If you still want to kill him later, I'll let you do it."

You Jing doesn't know whether Su Se will want to kill You Zheng after knowing the truth.But when he learned the truth, he really wanted to kill this big brother.

After he realized that something was wrong and Yan Jing was also sent back, his injury was not as serious as it seemed, and Lu Mingyang had no reason to show mercy to a traitor.

It was at that time that You Zheng, who wore Lu Mingyang's skin, confirmed the identity of the crown prince.

There were only two lines in the secret letter that Argos asked to surrender: "Don't panic, brother will help you."

"I had a hunch from the beginning that the time for Qi Zhiwen's descendants to appear was too opportune. Moreover," You Zheng's eyes flashed with sadness, "The eyes you showed are too similar to Qi Zhiwen."

You Jing asked with anticipation: "What about Dad, is Dad still alive?"

You Zheng was silent, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth to say: "I only found out about my father after returning to Orpheus..."

You Jing took off his mask, covered his face with his hands, and You Zheng was still saying in his ear: "I didn't want to involve you, I gave you a life, you helped You's family pass a test, it's evened But I didn't expect, I didn't expect that you would stay and avenge Youjia."

You Jing raised his face and pulled the corners of his mouth slightly: "You never thought that I would really regard you as my elder brother and my father as my father, right?"

"Don't misunderstand me." You Zheng frowned slightly, with a troubled expression on his face, as if he didn't know how to express it, and finally stepped forward clumsily, hugged You Jing's upper body, and patted the back of his neck, "You And my only relative."

"If the crown prince is replaced by someone else, I will not surrender, and I will not help him destroy my own country. This is not my way of revenge. But you are my brother, and my father taught me a truth with his whole life."

He pressed You Jing's shoulders, stared at the corners of his red eyes, and smiled slightly: "Family is the most important thing."

You Jing sometimes suspects that his elder brother has some kind of psychological defect. He looks deserted, but he is actually softer and more delicate than anyone else, but he is also ruthless, even for the person he loves the most.

It wasn't surprising that Suther didn't forgive him.

You Jing didn't know what the two of them said that day.But Suther packed his bags and went to Psyche Province to reorganize his business empire the next day, and sent a huge bill to the crown prince.

"Your military expenses in the early stage were all paid by me, Your Royal Highness," he wrote in his message. "Most of the empire's tax revenue for the next two years will be used to pay off debts."

"I thought it was a friendship sponsorship." You Jing replied.

"I don't have any friendship with Youjia."

Therefore, since returning to Orpheus, You Jing's headache has not been better.

At this moment, Croto barged in with a panicked expression: "Your Highness, Yegor is on a hunger strike!"

You Jing grabbed the vase on the table and threw it at him.
