In front of people, Xiao Tianyao said nothing; in front of people, Xiao Tianyao never denied his ambitions.
Therefore, in the face of the emperor's oppression and calculations, Xiao Tianyao was neither angry nor sad. After the emperor killed him again and again, there was no brotherly relationship between him and the emperor. There was only a cold struggle between him and the emperor, just like the struggle between the emperor and his brothers back then.
However, the difference is that he did not fight the emperor for Dongwen's throne. He never took Dongwen's throne in his eyes. The emperor he wanted couldn't afford it, and he could only rely on his own hands for what he wanted. to fight for.
It's a pity that the emperor didn't believe him, even if he told the emperor more than once that he didn't want Dongwen's throne, the emperor also didn't believe him, and even joined foreign enemies in order to get rid of him.
Sometimes he couldn't help thinking, what kind of vision did their father have to pass the throne to the emperor, but later he understood that it was not the father who wanted to pass the throne to the emperor, but that the father had no choice. The wise and excellent sons of the father were all killed, and only he and the current sage were left. At that time, he was still young, and the throne could only be passed on to the current sage.
The emperor had seen the struggle of his brothers, and he was killed from the brothers' struggle for the throne. Seeing that he held great power, even if he did not have the heart to seize the throne, the emperor would not believe it.
It would be better to kill by mistake than to let it go. It is the survival rule of their royal children. Today, the sage is justifiably seated on the throne. If you want to kill his younger brother who holds great power, as long as he is charged with treason, he can be killed at any time. As long as he has that ability.
On the contrary, the emperor is the monarch, and he is the subject. If the monarch wants the subject to die, the subject has to die. Even if he has the ability to kill the saint today, he can't do it, otherwise it will be a rebellion, a wolf's ambition, a rebellion, and he will be cast aside and killed by the world.
And the rebellion... The teacher is unknown, and in many cases there is no way to succeed. No matter how strong his personal strength is, he cannot compete with the world.
Therefore, even if he had 300,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, even if he was under Dongwen alone and above ten thousand people, he did not take the lead in killing the emperor. , wait for the emperor to persecute him, wait for the civil servants and military generals to chill, and wait for the people in the world to chill, then he can take action, of course, to "correct his name".
This time, the emperor put him on three charges, hiding a dragon robe, betraying the country to make money, and bringing troops into the city. Except for the last one, he can easily overthrow the other two.
He knew better than anyone where the dragon robe came from; how much money Xiao Wangfu had, and how much money was in the treasury, he knew better than the minister of households. The emperor used money to frame him, although it could completely destroy his life. Fame is really unwise.
As for bringing troops into the city
This is the most deadly crime, but it is also the crime he is least afraid of. How could he not know what the crime of bringing soldiers to the capital without permission is
He dared to bring the soldiers and horses here carelessly, but he was prepared. He was really not afraid that the emperor would condemn him for this matter. Just shoot yourself in the foot.
Xiao Tianyaoyuan didn't take any notice of the emperor's move. He didn't leave the prison at the first time, he just gave the emperor time to let the emperor make things worse, and it would be better.
Only when the trouble is out of control can he show his grievances and let the civil servants and generals chill.
"Where is the princess now?" Xiao Tianyao was more worried about Lin Chujiu's safety than his own.
He had known for a long time that the emperor would attack him, and he had prepared in advance. No matter what the emperor made, he was not afraid. However, he prepared everything, but he alone forgot to communicate with Lin Chujiu in advance. If Lin Chujiu fell into the hands of the emperor, things would become very troublesome.
"The princess is very safe now, and her subordinates don't know where she is." The leader of the hidden guard answered truthfully.
"This king asked you to protect the princess, you don't know?" Xiao Tianyao's face sank, and there was murder in his eyes.
The leader of the hidden guard jumped in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, "I did not protect the princess well, please punish the prince." In front of the prince, one is one, two is two, if things are not done well, they are not done well, any explanation is extra.
"Go to the Punishment Hall to receive fifty lashes, and in two hours, this king will know the whereabouts of the princess." Even when it was time to employ people, Xiao Tianyao did not hesitate.
When reward is rewarded, when punishment is punished, there is no merit or demerit, and there is no merit or demerit.
Maybe in the eyes of others, he is inhumane, but such rewards and punishments are clearly effective, and the chances of his subordinates making mistakes are getting smaller and smaller.
"Being punished for your humble position." The leader of the hidden guard bowed and stepped back.
At this time, Lin Chujiu, who was hiding in the Moon Studio, encountered her biggest crisis in the Moon Studio.
After Lin Chujiu's heavy makeup, she was six or seven similar to Miss Qiangwei. Under the dim light, as long as she was not familiar, she would not recognize who she was.
Afterwards, with the help of that maid, Lin Chujiu even learned ten percent of Miss Qiangwei's usual manners, words and deeds. Unless someone who knows her very well, if they don't communicate in depth, they will never find out that she is a fake.
However, Lin Chujiu met someone who knew her very well and had in-depth communication with her, and this person could not tolerate Lin Chujiu's absence, because the other person was from Tianzang Pavilion.
"Huang Thirty-seven, why didn't the news of the Xue family be reported as soon as possible!" The visitor sneaked in in the middle of the night, and the first sentence was to question. If he hadn't opened his mouth quickly, Lin Chujiu would have almost shot.
Combining with the information that the little maid had said before, Lin Chujiu probably guessed the identity of the other party, but the little maid didn't know what Lin Chujiu looked like in front of the people in Tianzang Pavilion. Lin Chujiu couldn't imitate it at all, she could only understand her own. to do it.
Hearing the question from the visitor, Lin Chujiu hesitated for a moment and knelt down on one knee, "My subordinates are guilty, please punish me." She remembered that Xiao Tianyao's subordinates were all like this. If things were not done well, there was nothing wrong with asking for guilt.
"Punishment?" The visitor chewed these two words carefully and looked at Lin Chujiu with a scrutiny, his expression and tone, as if he didn't know the person in front of him.
Lin Chujiu knew that the other party was probably suspicious, but she didn't show it on her face, she still said calmly: "Yes, please punish me."
"Huang Thirty-seven, you will never be the master..." The visitor didn't know if Lin Chujiu was a woman, but wanted to further confirm Lin Chujiu's identity, and did not directly challenge Lin Chujiu's identity. , but he didn't take the initiative, it didn't mean that Lin Chujiu wouldn't take the initiative.
"Sir, I'm sorry!" Lin Chujiu jumped up, like a cheetah, rushing towards the person who came. The knife hidden in his hand showed a sharp tip, stabbing the opponent's throat.
"You're so brave!" The person who came here seemed to have been prepared, and when Lin Chujiu got up, he suddenly drew his sword and stabbed at Lin Chujiu, but at this moment...
