King An almost lost his life; Mo Yuer was placed under house arrest; Doctor Mo lost the trust of the emperor. For Divine Doctor Mo, this was undoubtedly the darkest day in his life, but...
For the silver-haired old man, these are far from enough. What he wanted was God Doctor Mo's ruined reputation and a silent life in the world.
"Master, this time I was careless and let him escape." Qin Imperial Physician knew that the matter was only half-successful, and knew that his master would be dissatisfied and came to plead guilty as soon as he left the palace.
The silver-haired old man was really angry, but he still wanted to use Imperial Physician Qin. No matter how dissatisfied he was, he would never vent his anger on Imperial Physician Qin. Not only that, the silver-haired old man also comforted: "No, you did a good job. Compared with cutting his life with a knife, it is more interesting to cut the flesh slowly. Watching him step by step toward despair and struggling on the edge of death is also a pleasure."
These words are comforting Imperial Physician Qin, so why not comfort himself. He had waited too long for the day when God Doctor Mo would be ruined. Where is the patience to continue to wait...
Qin Imperial Physician didn't know how true or false what the silver-haired old man said, so he only said, "Master, don't worry, I will never let him avoid it next time."
"Okay, Master believes you." The silver-haired old man coughed repressedly, and Imperial Physician Qin asked with concern, "Master, are you alright?"
The silver-haired old man waved his hand, "It's alright, it's an old problem." But as soon as the words fell, there was another violent cough, even if he tried his best to restrain himself, he couldn't suppress it, and he soon coughed up a pool of blood.
Qin Imperial Physician was startled, and rushed forward to take the pulse of the silver-haired old man, but was rejected by the silver-haired old man, "I know my body very well."
Taking out the veil and wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, the silver-haired old man said as if nothing had happened: "I won't live long with this body, and I'll be satisfied to see him unlucky in my lifetime."
"Master, don't say that. Your hated apprentice will definitely pay you back, you must take good care of yourself, the apprentice hasn't been filial to you yet." Qin Imperial Physician's eyes were flushed, and it was obvious that he had deep feelings for the silver-haired old man.
Although the silver-haired old man had the intention to use Imperial Physician Qin, how could he not have feelings for a mentoring session. The silver-haired old man sighed and said, "You are already very filial. If it wasn't for you, Master wouldn't be able to live to this day. As for Master's body, you don't have to worry about it. Body, give you a ride."
As for what this journey was, the silver-haired old man didn't say, nor did Qin Imperial Physician ask.
Days passed by inadvertently, and in the blink of an eye, more than 20 days had passed since the one-month consideration period that Xiao Tianyao said, and Lin Chujiu still did not make up his mind, and Xiao Tianyao did not force her, as if he had forgotten.
But Lin Chujiu knew very well that Xiao Tianyao didn't forget, he was just too busy to ask her.
Mo Yu'er caused an accident to King An. The emperor searched for a long time and couldn't find the culprit behind the scenes, so he put the account on Xiao Tianyao's head. During this time, the officials of Xiao Tianyao's faction were madly suppressed, and the prison was already overcrowded.
The Overwatch Council, Dali Temple, and Military Affairs Office. These departments are busy like a spinning top every day, there are accidents every day, and officials have to go to get people every day.
The trial of the last case has not been completed, and a new case has come out. It doesn't matter if the evidence is insufficient, and the person will be locked up and investigated slowly.
Corruption, bribery, false leadership, and empty pay. robbing homes, killing civilians indiscriminately; slaughtering prisoners, forcibly robbing civilian women, and privately dividing the results of war; beating and killing colleagues, betraying them, disobeying the decree...
The scriptures said this, all the military officers in Dongwen are scumbags, and there is no one available. Their existence is not to protect the family and the country, but to eat the blood of the people and drink the flesh of the people. Fighting on the battlefield is not to protect Dongwen's country, but for his own selfish desires.
Although only Xiao Tianyao's confidant generals were impeached by the censors, the other generals could not help but mourn the death of rabbits and foxes, and the grief came from them.
They fought with their lives on the battlefield, not at the hands of the enemy, not on the battlefield, but in the infighting of their own people.
Of all the generals who have been on the battlefield, no one dares to say that he has not made a mistake. The soldiers under Xiao Tianyao were already strict, but even so, they could be singled out for many crimes by the civil servants, not to mention them.
"The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." Another general who was impeached by the imperial censor knelt on the main hall and looked at the emperor who was high above. The corpse is returned. I really hate that I didn't die on the battlefield, at least I have a good reputation for loyalty."
The speaker is sad, the hearer weeps. When he was dragged down by the Imperial Forest Army, the entire hall was so quiet that there was no sound, and even the Censor, who had just impeached with justice, couldn't get his spirits up at this time.
The emperor didn't take this to heart. Today, it was Xiao Tianyao's most capable general who was brought down. If he is going to fall, Xiao Tianyao's power in the army will also collapse by half, and Xiao Tianyao will not be afraid at that time.
Victory was in sight, and the emperor was very happy, but at this moment, a sharp and urgent announcement sounded outside the palace: "Eight hundred miles urgent! Emergency battle report!"
Repeated and repeated several times, even if you want to hear it clearly.
"How can there be an 800-mile expedited battle report at this time?" The emperor was puzzled, but the urgency of the matter could not allow him to think too much, so he hurriedly asked the eunuch to pass the person up.
The messenger walked into the main hall, knelt on the ground with a thud, and presented the battle report, "Your Majesty, hurry up for eight hundred miles. The 500,000-strong army of the Northern Calendar has crushed the border and has captured three cities in a row, and our army suffered heavy losses."
After speaking, he fell to the ground. The Imperial Forest Army was busy carrying people down for treatment, but his words aroused unease among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.
"The Northern Li army is pressing down on the border? What is going on here? The Northern Li has not violated our border for several years, and there is still some time before the autumn harvest. How could the Northern Li send troops to attack us at this time?"
"Master Wu is right. At this time, it is spring seeding. There is no reason for the people of Beili to send troops to attack us here."
"Send troops at this time, there is no benefit to Northern Li."
…
Several civilian officials who didn't know much about the military situation gathered together and muttered, skeptical of the battle report.
And the generals who knew the situation of the Northern Calendar and Xiao Tianyao's strength were clear in their hearts.
You don't need to think about it to know that it must have been the people of Northern Li who received the news and knew that something happened to Xiao Tianyao, the god of war in the mountains that was over their heads, so they took the opportunity to attack Dongwen, trying to get a little favor from Dongwen.
It's just that they won't say it or can't say it. No matter how hard their brains were, they knew how much the emperor hated Xiao Wangye. If you tell the truth at this time, it will only make the emperor hate him...
