Of course, what these generals are most afraid of is not being used by King Xiao, but the fear that King Xiao will use them, but still can't do anything!
Xiao Wang's mansion was raided, Xiao Wang was arrested and imprisoned, even if there were more than 200,000 troops outside the city, what could Xiao Wang do
King Xiao lost his freedom, and his life and death are unknown. Even if there are 200,000 Jinwuwei outside the city, what can King Xiao do
King Xiao didn't even have an heir. Once he died, even if more than 200,000 people outside the city fought bloody battles, it would be useless to step the capital to the ground, and it would be useless to kill the emperor.
Dongwen has an army of one million. When the army of one million comes back, how long can the more than 200,000 horses last without a commander, no weapons, and no food and grass
Even if they can support it, what about their family and children? Are you willing to follow them all the way to the dark
In this game, Xiao Wang lost!
Lose to not start first!
Although it was an instant, all the civil servants and military generals were in their hearts, and they went back and forth several times. There were military generals who were loyal to King Xiao, and they did not believe that all this was true. What's the matter? Xiao Wang really got so much money? I don't believe it, I don't believe it's true!"
They all knew about the looting incident that took place on the street yesterday. They also saw the jewelry and gold bricks shipped from Xiao Wangfu, and there were indeed a lot of them.
However, in their hearts, they still refused to believe that it was true.
How could King Xiao, the god of war in their hearts be a villain who used the war to make money.
"If this is the case, then what is King Xiao's actions in these years?" In the absence of the court's food and grass supply, King Xiao still took his troops and horses to fight against the southern barbarians and northern calendars at the border, protecting the people on the border and guarding the east and west. The land of the text.
They always knew that King Xiao couldn't lead his troops to defeat Nanman and Northern Li, and he couldn't break them, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.
Without enough food, grass and weapons to support him, no matter how much King Xiao can fight, it is useless.
They have always thought so, but now the emperor has copied out the family background of Xiao Wangfu,
Tell them they are wrong.
But who is right and who is wrong
Since this did not require the emperor to answer in person, the Minister of the Household opened his mouth, "Insolent! There is no room for you to be arrogant in the hall, the evidence of what King Xiao committed is all there, and King Xiao has pleaded guilty, what else do you have to say? Can you say?"
"It's impossible for King Xiao to plead guilty. I don't believe it's true. Your Majesty, King Xiao must have been wronged. Please investigate clearly and make King Xiao innocent." The general who was loyal to King Xiao shouted tragically, his eyes full tears.
Of course, he knew that this matter had nothing to do with the emperor, and it was better not to ask the emperor, but he had to do it, and he had to show a posture.
Someone took the lead, and the others followed, "Your Majesty, I believe in King Xiao. King Xiao has no intention of not being a minister, and it is even more impossible to use war to make money. There must be some tricks in this. Please ask the emperor to find out about this."
"The sage has made a clear investigation. King Xiao is loyal to Dongwen. In order to protect Dongwen's dead land, he has been fighting outside all the year round, and he doesn't even care about his own life. I don't believe that Xiao Wang is such a person."
"Your Majesty, this minister also doesn't believe that King Xiao has confessed his guilt, and is willing to ask the Emperor to declare King Xiao to go to the palace and confront him on the spot."
"Since the incident, no one from Xiao Wang's mansion has appeared, nor has Xiao Wang appeared. Could it be that Xiao Wang has been unexpectedly? Willing to ask the emperor to bring Xiao Wang out."
…
After many years of operation, although Xiao Tianyao did not deliberately win over the courtiers, there were many people who turned to him. No way, the emperor used a lot of tricks to suppress Xiao Tianyao before, causing many courtiers to feel cold.
The emperor did not expect that there would be so many people interceding for Xiao Tianyao, and was immediately furious. "Presumptuous... You said that King Xiao did not have the heart to disobey his ministers. What happened to the more than 200,000 troops outside the city? Bringing troops into the capital without a purpose, and disobeying the decree, is this what you mean by loyalty?"
Xiao Tianyao brought his troops into the city, and he made it clear that he was going to rebel. Under such circumstances, these people turned black and white and spoke for Xiao Tianyao.
"Your Majesty, King Xiao brought troops into the capital only for self-protection and to avoid the repetition of old events." Bringing troops into the city is a capital offense, even if it is King Xiao's die-hard loyalist, there is no way to open his eyes and say that Xiao Tianyao is innocent.
"Self-protection? Good self-protection! Since it is for self-protection, why don't people let the soldiers and horses evacuate when they enter the city? There are still people at the feet of the emperor who murdered him." The emperor was even more angry when he mentioned this.
These people had to remind him again and again, did he do what he did to plot against Xiao Tianyao
If it weren't for that incident, he would have killed Xiao Tianyao long ago, so why would he worry about chilling the courtiers' hearts and bother to smear his reputation before killing him.
"Your Majesty, King Xiao is now in prison, but the soldiers and horses outside the city are still not moving. It can be seen that King Xiao has no intention of not being a minister."
Not to mention the ministers in the DPRK, even ordinary people know what the current situation of the capital is.
The capital was so surrounded by the emperor that not even a fly could fly out, and of course it couldn't come in.
Although it has been a few days since the incident, they can be sure that Jin Wuwei outside the city does not know what is going on now, and most of them are still wondering why there is no news from King Xiao for four or five days.
"Your Majesty, the last general also believes in Lord Xiao. Lord Xiao is not that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding here, and the emperor must be aware of it."
As soon as this statement came out, half of the generals agreed, "I am willing to ask the emperor to investigate."
It's not that they really have to firmly believe in King Xiao, but it is the most avoidable two-sided battle in the court battle, even if the current situation is extremely unfavorable to King Xiao; even if they don't know the truth of the matter; even if they feel a little disappointed in King Xiao in their hearts, they must, You can only stand on the side of King Xiao and speak for King Xiao.
When things got to this point, they couldn't bear to back down. They don't speak for King Xiao, don't buy time for King Xiao, let the emperor execute King Xiao, and the emperor will not let them go.
On the contrary, they are now buying time and opportunities for King Xiao, and maybe things can be reversed.
"You said that King Xiao did not have the heart to disobey his ministers, that is, he did not have the heart to disobey his ministers. Who can guarantee that? If King Xiao really does not have the heart to disobey ministers, what is the matter with the property of King Xiao's mansion? If there is no dissent, hide it in What's the matter with the dragon robe of the Jinwuwei camp? He said that he has no dissent, do you believe it?" The emperor knew that it was not easy to kill Xiao Tianyao, but he did not expect that he would destroy Xiao Tianyao's reputation to such an extent that there were still people. speak for him.
Although some of these people had to speak for Xiao Tianyao because of their political stance, the rest of them really believed in Xiao Tianyao and believed that all this was a conspiracy by him to frame Xiao Tianyao.
He admitted that there was his handwriting in this matter, but he only expanded the wealth of Xiao Wangfu by a hundred times, the other things did have something to do with it, at least Xiao Tianyao's rebellion, he did not fake it...
