Xiao Che said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Why should we care about what he thinks? Now we just need to check carefully. It turns out that the guards were perfunctory and could not find Xiao Xian in Dabei Temple, so they lied about Xiao Xian's sudden death. Since
It is naturally the best thing that the prince is still alive and wants to return to the capital. The emperor cried with joy and prayed day and night and finally moved his ancestors. This is a great thing."
Although they and Xiao Xian were at loggerheads, and everyone knew the other's dislike of them, for the sake of dignity, sometimes they still had to put on a show.
After all, the emperor didn't really say that Xiao Xian was a rebel, nor did he order anyone to arrest him. He just said that he died suddenly, which meant that he still recognized Xiao Xian's dual title.
The play can go on without breaking up publicly, otherwise Xiao Xian would not be able to come back to Beijing.
Whether you want to demonstrate or want to reconcile, this is also an opportunity.
They have tried living without Xiao Xian, and it will indeed cause some troubles, so now that Xiao Xian is back, they will naturally take advantage of him.
As long as Xiao Xian is there to control the situation in the court, some clowns will not dare to jump out and cause trouble, and the court will avoid getting angry.
After all, sending troops once is not only a waste of people and money, but also involves many things. It is not that easy.
It would be fine if the battle was won, but if the battle was defeated, it would be a big smelly excrement sticking to the face of the court, which was really unbearable and had to be endured.
Although Xiao Che wished that Xiao Xian would die immediately, he now knew what the overall situation was and Xiao Xian could still take advantage of it.
Ye Sheng added: "The prince's statement can be given a try. At the same time, the court can make preparations to instigate a relationship between Xiao Wen and Xiao Xian, so that Xiao Xian can really deal with Xiao Wen."
The emperor looked at him and said, "Sir, you might as well speak frankly."
Ye Sheng said with a smile: "We just need to use some means. The traitor Xiao Wen rebelled in the Chu region and now that he has occupied the Chu region, the court can't do anything to him for the time being. He has not spread around anymore. This does illustrate a problem.
.”
The emperor and Xiao Che both looked at him, and even the eunuchs and eunuchs in the palace glanced at him quietly.
Ye Sheng continued: "Obviously this is the strategy of Xiao Wen's rebels. They rebelled against His Majesty, but they did not embarrass the neighboring states and counties, nor did they plan to expand. Instead, they only sent the officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court to suppress the bandits.
Frustration. This is obviously to attack the imperial court while showing favor to others, telling them that he does not want to be their enemy. At the same time, he uses the imperial court's defeat to alert and show off, telling them that he is very powerful and the imperial court may not be his opponent.
.”
His words undoubtedly touched the emperor's pain, and also brought shame to the court.
But he is the emperor's military adviser and has to make suggestions, and from the beginning he has been outspoken to please the emperor, so naturally he will not hide it too much now.
"Xiao Wen has always prided himself on being a wise king, and winning people's hearts is what he is best at. If he doesn't fight with us, he always looks helpless, as if he is saying that he is just following the late emperor's decree as a last resort, and does not really want to do this.
Emperor, so he just occupies his own fiefdom and does not harass the surrounding counties and counties, so that the local officials in the surrounding counties and counties will like him and win people's hearts. If he buys people's hearts, he will secretly spread remarks that are unfavorable to the imperial court and His Majesty.
, which will naturally make some people who don’t know the truth want to defect to him. In this case, he can easily dismantle the imperial court without any blood."
