Chapter five hundred and ninety first: prepare to close the net(1/2)
If you want to target a person, you must first use every possible means to discredit him without anyone noticing.
Killing must be heart-breaking.
Otherwise, if you don't hold on to the righteousness, it will be easy for the spark to burn again.
Immediately afterwards, within a few days, a lot of negative news about Xiao Xuanwu was overwhelmingly publicized among the people.
Relying on his status as Wenzong, Xiao Xuanwu began to let scholars all over the world speak for him.
But the effect was minimal.
Because the mouth of a scholar is not as good as the mouth of ordinary people.
Zhao Yuan remembers very clearly that his grandfather once said to him that the countryside should surround the towns.
This situation is somewhat similar now.
After all, there are only a minority of scholars in the world.
But the common people and Jianghu people in the world account for a huge proportion.
In short, these days, there is anything to talk about.
It is said that Xiao Xuanwu Quan deceived the Lord.
Some say he favors nepotism.
It is said that he controlled the government and deliberately did not allow the emperor to rule personally.
After these negative news began to subside among the public.
Zhao Yuan once again released a bombshell.
Speaking of being above the court, he is just a puppet emperor.
At first, he went to court on the first day and wanted to punish corrupt officials, but he was vetoed by Xiao Xuanwu, who was working with the Queen Mother, because it violated their interests.
After that, they colluded with each other and emptied their rights.
And what's even more outrageous is that they also threaten themselves to make them kings and prime ministers...
As soon as this news came out, people all over the world began to explode. Many people in the world were clamoring to organize a rebel army and raise troops to serve the king.
The situation has completely gotten out of hand.
Xiao Xuanwu was completely panicked this time.
But he was still relatively calm.
He thought that some public opinion issues would be defeated by time sooner or later.
However, you still need to take some precautions.
The 300,000 heavy armored cavalry that Zhao Yuan brought into the city before were all controlled by Xiao Xuanwu.
He believed that he had a firm grasp on the army, so he had nothing to fear.
Later, Zhao Yuan spent a lot of money to bribe a servant of the Xiao family to bury some things in the courtyard when Xiao Xuanwu went to court.
Then, the Jin Yiwei was dispatched.
They almost attacked the Xiao family forcefully.
They said that they had an imperial order to search the Prime Minister's Mansion.
But the masters in the prime minister's house refused to let them enter the house.
Later, they said that an assassin had lurked in the prime minister's house.
I've tried it for whatever reason.
In desperation, Zhao Yuan restrained Xiao Xuanwu in the early morning and secretly sent a heavenly master to allow the Jin Yiwei men to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion smoothly.
Then, at the place where he met with the Xiao family servants, he found the dragon robe.
At this time, the morning had not yet set.
After Zhao Yuan learned that they had succeeded, he openly said to Xiao Xuanwu in the court: "Prime Minister, yesterday an assassin came into the palace. According to the people in Jin Yiwei, he hid in the Prime Minister's Mansion. I will send someone to your mansion."
At the beginning of the search, the Jin Yiwei were turned away by the people in your house.
However, fortunately, the Jin Yiwei finally entered your Prime Minister's Mansion. The assassin did not notice it, but found the dragon robe! Do you, the Prime Minister, plan to explain this matter?"
Xiao Xuanwu was startled when he heard the sound.
The whole court was in an uproar, both civil and military.
He bowed in a deep voice and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to think too much, this must be framed by someone!"
Although he is obsessed with power, he is not stupid enough to offend the Supreme Emperor before he is dead.
"So according to what the Prime Minister said, this is all a misunderstanding?" Zhao Yuan said.
Xiao Xuanwu nodded, "Your Majesty, who framed Wei Chen? When Wei Chen returns home, we will definitely find out!"
The tone in which he spoke to the emperor now was no longer as respectful and gentle as before.
There is a toughness everywhere.
Zhao Yuan said nothing more and announced his withdrawal from the court.
Then, he spread the news among the people.
For a time, the saying "Xiao Xuanwu's heart is known to all passersby" was spread throughout Jiuzhou.
Zhao Yuan's operation is not over yet.
He began to dismantle Xiao Xuanwu's power.
Gradually, some Qingliu and his own people were placed in the six departments.
Then he got involved with family members in a big way.
All this was seen by Xiao Xuanwu.
In fact, it was Zhao Yuan who let him know on purpose.
He even deliberately let Xiao Xuanwu hear what he said that he intended to clean up.
After the latter learned the news, he seemed extremely uncertain.
Unexpectedly, after working hard for the country for most of his life, he would end up being treated with suspicion by a monarch.
There is a close confidant beside Xiao Xuanwu, who is from Zhao Yuan.
His name is Lu Zaixing.
His great-grandfather was Lu Bing, who rose to the rank of commander of the Jinyi Guards.
He granted the emperor's will and admonished Xiao Xuanwu: "Prime Minister, everything is now clear. From the public opinion against you at the beginning to the various things now, it is estimated that the emperor is basically responsible.
He has already thought of dealing with you. At present, because many aristocratic families and military officers in the court support him, he has already begun to have the strength to compete with you, Prime Minister. If you let the emperor do whatever he wants, I am afraid that Prime Minister
Sooner or later, he will be deposed by the emperor.
By then, I’m afraid that the prime minister’s thousand-year dream of being the prime minister will be shattered.”
Xiao Xuanwu frowned when he heard the sound and asked: "In your opinion, how should we deal with this matter?"
In his impression, he always thought that the emperor was just a child.
I want to be in power, but I still can't accomplish anything, and I don't have any power in my heart.
Over the years, because of fear of myself, I dared to give myself no matter what official position or right I had.
How could such a person be able to become the emperor himself?
After finally ushering in a unified dynasty, is it possible that his generation will perish?
Although the Great Qin Dynasty died in the second generation, there was still a third generation of emperors anyway.
Therefore, strictly speaking, he should have died in three lifetimes.
He would never allow Da Wei to be in the same situation as Da Qin.
Lu Zaixing said bluntly: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, if you want to get rid of it once and for all, the only way to do it is to be a Qing emperor. You can obey the orders of the emperor and not submit!"
After Xiao Xuanwu heard what he said, he seemed hesitant.
This matter is really too big.
Lu Zaixing whispered: "Or, it can also be to use the emperor to control the princes. It all depends on the prime minister's wishes."
Speaking of this, Xiao Xuanwu was a little moved.
He can't do anything like rebellion.
I don’t dare to do it either.
Otherwise, the grandfather in the family would probably skin him alive.
However, it didn’t say that you can’t do what Lu Zaixing said!
This is indeed a good idea.
To be continued...
