Chapter 103 The war started and the prince was very tired
The whole court was in chaos. Xiao Jiuan shamelessly spread the flames of war to everyone. When he was attacked by everyone, he also dragged everyone into the water.
After all, no one is God, and everyone makes mistakes sometimes. When those people accuse him from the moral high ground, do they look down and see if their hearts are clean?
In just five days, except for the officials who remained neutral from beginning to end, other officials were affected to some extent. This shows how strong the intelligence network Xiao Jiuan has and how powerful he is in the capital.
Seeing the case sent to him by the Ministry of Punishment, the emperor felt bad.
When Xiao Jiuan first arrived in the capital, he should have no foundation at all. How did he collect so many mistakes made by ministers and their families in such a short period of time?
Collecting this evidence is not an easy task, let alone ordinary people, even he, the emperor, cannot do it in a short time.
"Check, check for me, you must find out where did Xiao Jiu'an get the news?" The emperor once again saw the terror of Xiao Jiu'an.
The first time he saw Xiao Jiu'an's terror was when his father sent him to comfort the Yanbei army and find out the details of the Yanbei army, laying the foundation for regaining military power in the future.
Yes, every emperor of Apocalypse wants to take back the military power of Yanbei. Under the planning of the nearly three generations of emperors of Apocalypse, the lineage of Yanbei kings has withered away day by day. The clansmen and brothers have died one by one, and now only the direct lineage is left. It is a pity that
The military power has still not been regained.
Therefore, the important task of regaining military power was placed in the hands of the current Holy Emperor.
That time, he saw Xiao Jiuan beheading Beichen's prince with his own eyes. Xiao Jiuan was only sixteen years old at that time, and he was extremely ruthless and merciless in his execution.
At that time, the young prince was captured alive by Yan Bei's army. Because his status was too high, the generals in the army did not dare to kill him, so they brought him to see Xiao Jiu'an. The prince cursed Xiao Jiu'an for something, and Xiao Jiu'an immediately picked up his sword.
, chopped off the prince's arm with one knife.
Amidst the prince's screams, Xiao Jiuan cut off his other arm and legs.
"I am a prince, the son of Queen Beichen. You can't do this to me, you can't..." Beichen's prince wailed in pain, but Xiao Jiu'an turned a deaf ear and raised his knife to chop him down: "So what about Beichen's prince? He has offended me, Xiao Jiu'an."
Even if you are a god, I dare to kill you!"
Not only did Xiao Jiu'an kill Beichen's prince, he also had Prince Beichen's body thrown in front of the battle formation and asked the Beichen people to take it back. He also warned Beichen to retreat immediately, otherwise he would kill all Beichen's princes.
At that time, there were three princes in Beichen's army, and they were all ordered to come to the army for training.
When the Beichen people heard this, they were naturally furious and launched a large-scale attack that day. Unfortunately, they failed at the hands of Xiao Jiuan.
As far as the emperor knew, it was the first time that Xiao Jiuan led troops alone, and he defeated Beichen so that he did not dare to do it again in the past five years.
And it was that time that the emperor saw how terrifying and arrogant Xiao Jiuan was, so the first thing he did after ascending the throne was to find ways to evade Xiao Jiuan and seize Xiao Jiuan's military power.
Of course, it would be best to get rid of him, but... the difficulty is too high.
But this time, the emperor once again saw how terrifying Xiao Jiuan was.
Xiao Jiu'an's fiefdom was in Yanbei. Before he issued an order to call him back to Beijing, Xiao Jiu'an could only go to Beijing during the Chinese New Year every year, and he could only stay for a month at a time.
But under such circumstances, Xiao Jiu'an actually established such a large power in the capital, and was able to collect so many evidence of the officials' crimes in just a few days. This man... is so terrifying!
Once again, the emperor was determined to get rid of Xiao Jiuan.
At the same time, in the Yanbei Palace, Xiao Shaorong also came to the door urgently because of this matter.
"My lord, do you know how dangerous it is for you to do this?" Xiao Shaorong has been in the army during this period, cleaning up the mess left after the rebellion. As soon as he finished his work, he heard the news of the chaos in the capital, and the initiator turned out to be
Xiao Jiuan.
Xiao Jiuan said calmly: "Sooner or later, he will take action, he can't bear it anymore." The "him" naturally refers to the emperor.
The royal family has always wanted to seize the military power of the Yanbei Palace, and even did not hesitate to attack the bloodline of the Yanbei Palace, hoping to force the Yanbei Palace to cut off its descendants.
The arrogance and arrogance of the current Holy Emperor is based on the foundation laid by the late Emperor. There is no need for the current Holy Lord to be as cautious and tolerant as the late Emperor.
"But if you do this, the emperor will definitely take action early. I'm afraid we are not well prepared." Xiao Shaorong had long known that such a day would come, but he didn't want it to be so early.
"I will never be fully prepared, and the emperor is unlikely to take action against me in a short time. He still wants to use me." Xiao Jiuan's eyes flashed with ridicule.
This is the royal family surnamed Zhao. On the one hand, they want to use the Yanbei army to resist the invasion of Nanjiang and Beichen, and on the other hand, they want to take away the military power of the Yanbei King.
"Beichen is restless?" Xiao Shaorong is a smart man, and he guessed it as soon as Xiao Jiuan said it.
"The prince who died at the hands of this king was the youngest son of the queen. Now, the most powerful prince in Beichen is the eldest son of the queen, Beichen Tianque." Knowing himself and the enemy, and victorious in every battle, Xiao Jiuan never relaxes his surveillance of his opponents, such as the emperor, Beichen and
Southern Xinjiang.
"Southern Xinjiang has just settled down, and Beichen is ready to make a move. Did they make an appointment to go up one by one and kill Yanbei's army?" Xiao Shaorong was angry when he heard this!
In the battle with southern Xinjiang at the beginning of the year, the Yanbei army suffered numerous casualties. The last savings of the Yanbei palace were spent on caring for the families of the deceased. If a war was to begin, what would be used to start a war?
"We all went to war together back then, so what does it matter if we come here one by one now?" Xiao Jiu'an grew up on the battlefield. He is no stranger to war, and he will not get angry or nervous just because the enemy country is about to go to war.
Fighting is too common for him. He will fight whenever the opponent wants. Who has Xiao Jiuan been afraid of?
Xiao Shaorong also knew that he had lost his composure, so he took a deep breath and said: "My lord, when are you going to return to Yanbei?"
Xiao Jiu'an said: "There's no rush. It will take time for Beichen Tianque to convince Beichen to send troops. Although the war will begin sooner or later, it doesn't mean that we can start a war just by fighting."
Once a war started, it would be a waste of people and money. If there were not enough benefits, how could the emperor and ministers of Beichen start a war for a prince who died five years ago?
Hearing this, Xiao Shaorong breathed a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately, the war was not started immediately, he still had time to raise military resources.
Xiao Shaorong said: "I will find a way to raise enough military supplies, Prince, don't worry." He is the young master of a noble family and has a wide network of contacts. He is the only one in the Yanbei Army who has the ability to raise military supplies from outside.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Xiao Jiuan said generously.
Over the years, Xiao Shaorong has done a lot for the Yanbei Army. Although the Xiao family is dependent on him, not everyone who is dependent on him will work as hard as Xiao Shaorong, and even go out of their way to help him.
Xiao Shaorong's ability to win his trust was not by chance, nor by taking advantage of others' power, but by hard work.
Over the years, Xiao Shaorong has never betrayed his trust... (To be continued)
