After Lin Chujiu was settled, Xiao Tianyao told Yuyi Zhu to take good care of Lin Chujiu and left after telling the guards something.
It was still where Su Cha used to live, but now it has become Xiao Tianyao's office. After asking the personal guard to deliver the official documents that need to be processed, Xiao Tianyao took care of the backlog of official business.
Most of the official affairs, Mo Qingfeng has handled privately, and most of the rest are beyond Mo Qingfeng's handling, such as the emperor's secret letter to Xiao Tianyao.
All the secret letters from the emperor to Xiao Tianyao, no matter how fast or slow, Mo Qingfeng never touched them, they were all locked in the wooden box, and they would only be dealt with when Xiao Tianyao came back.
The capital and the border are far apart. Under Xiao Tianyao’s deliberate suppression, the spread of news is not so well-informed. Although the emperor makes people keep an eye on Xiao Tianyao’s actions, what Xiao Tianyao really wants to do is impossible for the emperor for a moment. Knowing, and even knowing, makes it impossible to make an immediate decision.
The emperor wrote a total of three secret letters to Xiao Tianyao. The content of the first two letters was mostly about the war with the Northern Calendar, implying that Xiao Tianyao should return to the court, and the words were polite.
But the last one was not so polite.
Counting the time, the last secret letter was sent when Xiao Tianyao killed the three gods of war in the empire, and then returned to the capital that he had a grudge with the eldest prince Xuanyuanzhi.
Originally, because the emperor was very passive because his re-used generals were betraying the enemy in front of the battle, the situation was reversed as soon as the matter of Xiao Tianyao's grievance with Xuanyuanzhi was reported back to Beijing.
It is impossible to hide the fact that Xiao Tianyao beheaded the Empire's Martial God on the battlefield and held Xuanyuanzhi hostage. Once the news was confirmed, the Dongwen court and the opposition said in unison: King Xiao is abolished.
It is an indisputable fact that Xiao Tianyao offended the eldest prince of the country and provoked the dignity of the empire. At that time, even if the empire was for face, it would not be possible to let Xiao Tianyao go.
According to the domineering style of the empire, Xiao Tianyao will inevitably be brought back to the central empire. And the prince who was majestic and powerful in Dongwen might not be as good as an ordinary son of a noble family in the empire. At that time, Xiao Tianyao will be able to return from the empire safely, and he will be useless.
Those ministers who were involved in the imperial court knew how to watch the wind the most. Seeing that Xiao Tianyao had repeatedly offended the central empire, the ministers who originally remained neutral and did not interfere in the dispute between Xiao Tianyao and the emperor, immediately stood on the highest moral point and accused Xiao Tianyao of fighting the Northern Calendar. Laboring the people and hurting the wealth is ignoring the peace of the four countries, rejoicing in meritorious deeds, and being barbaric and vulgar.
In short, it was wrong for King Xiao to attack Bei Li, and it would be even more wrong if he did not come back after winning the battle.
Northern Li had surrendered long ago, but King Xiao was hoarding troops and horses at the border and refused to return to Beijing for a long time. What is King Xiao trying to do
Rebellion
Some smart people do it obscurely, while some stupid ones do it very directly. Even the crown prince and several princes jumped out to join in the fun, and they planned to join forces to divide up Xiao Tianyao's forces.
All the signs showed that those people in the capital were not optimistic about Xiao Tianyao, the trend of the Ming Dynasty had turned to the emperor, and Xiao Tianyao's direct line officials were excluded from the court and did not even have a chance to speak.
Under such circumstances, the emperor would naturally not be careful with Xiao Tianyao, and the words used in the last secret letter were not as polite and cautious as before, and the emperor's domineering was revealed between the lines.
In the secret letter, in addition to blaming Xiao Tianyao for his mistakes during this expedition, the emperor also strongly demanded that Xiao Tianyao must return to Beijing within a month, and in front of hundreds of officials in the hall, plead for his wrong sin and prove his own. clean.
If you can't prove your innocence
It can only be done according to the law. If the emperor breaks the law, he must share the same crime with the common people. Xiao Tianyao is not the emperor, how can he go unpunished when he breaks the law
As for the soldiers at the border and Xiao Tianyao's Jin Wuwei
Don't worry about this, someone will take over. Xiao Tianyao is not the only person in this world who can lead the army. With such a big Dongwen, can’t he find a person to take over the soldiers and horses in Xiao Tianyao’s hands
If one doesn't work, then no two, and if two don't work, then ten. Could it be that without Xiao Tianyao, Dongwen would have destroyed the country
Obviously, after seeing Xiao Tianyao offend the Central Empire, whether it is the courtier or the emperor, they all think that Xiao Tianyao is abolished, so there is no pressure to step on it.
"Hmph... ridiculous." After reading the last secret letter, Xiao Tianyao threw it aside, completely ignoring it.
The emperor has been doing things more and more out of order in recent years. He must have been fighting for so many years, but he still hasn't beaten him, so he is anxious.
When people are in a hurry, it is easy to make mistakes, and it is easy to be blinded by the immediate interests. The emperor has been fighting with him for so many years, yet he still doesn't know what kind of person Xiao Tianyao is
Will he provoke the Central Empire like a stunned young man without any preparation
Jane is really stupid.
In addition to the emperor's decree, there are also some official documents of the imperial court. Nothing more than that the food, weapons, and clothes they asked for were useless. There are also transcripts of several official documents, all of which are accusing the lieutenant generals and officers of bullying men and women, harming people's lives, and forcibly robbing civilian women.
Xiao Tianyao has always been serious, and usually doesn't like to laugh, but when he saw what was written in the official document, he couldn't help showing a mocking smile.
He knew that his soldiers would take advantage of the common people occasionally, get food and drink, and he believed in chasing chickens and ducks.
There are military prostitutes in the army, and the number is still quite large. Although they cannot meet the needs of the soldiers, but... these people will not go out and rob civilians. It's not that I dare not, but there is no chance at all.
The soldiers under him have always been strictly controlled, and there is no chance to go out alone at all. Those people in the capital made accusations, and they really didn't care at all.
So did Mo Qingfeng. He also left such official documents to him, so he just lost them.
Xiao Tianyao threw these unreliable official documents aside, picked up the information collected by the dark guard during this period of time, and checked it carefully.
Beijing Zhong was very restless because he had offended the Central Empire. Those officials in the imperial court seemed to have nothing serious to do, so they knew to stare at him every day, but this time the emperor did a little more beautiful, and did not embarrass him in name. , at least not as before, directly sending troops to surround his palace.
As for the emperor's actions in private, Xiao Tianyao was not afraid. What he can let the emperor see in private, even if the emperor moves, he can get it back. What can't be seen by the emperor, the emperor can't find a way even if he wants to make a move.
However, it was quite annoying for the emperor to trouble him from left to right. He might be the one who should go back to the court and take care of the people and things in the capital. Otherwise, he went to the Central Empire, and if these people jumped up again, he would not be able to come back even if he wanted to clean up in a short time.
After a little thought, Xiao Tianyao made a decision.
It is very necessary to return to the capital as soon as possible, but it is even more necessary that he must finish Xuanyuanzhi's affairs before returning to the capital!
