Chapter 612: Imperial edict, the emperor is very angry (Part 1)
The capital and the front line were separated by thousands of miles, so there will inevitably be delays in the transmission of news. The news that Xiao Tianyao was still alive was something everyone on the border knows, but the emperor didn’t know about it until four days later. At this time, Xiao Tianyao had left the army and went to the Bihai Pavilion where Su Cha last appeared.
The emperor learned that Xiao Tianyao was not only alright but also dismissed his cronies in the army. He was fired up in anger immediately. If it weren’t sane enough, he would directly order someone to escort Xiao Tianyao back to the capital for questioning.
“Xiao Tianyao, damn you!” The emperor slammed the table with his fist, making the pen, ink, paper, and ink rattle on the table.
“The emperor please calm down your anger.” The eunuch serving the emperor fell to his knees with a plop and shivered in fright.
The emperor didn’t look at him. He gritted his teeth and said, “Calm down? He made plans to remove my confidants in the army at the border. How do you expect me to calm down? Those idiots acted rashly without even finding out what happened. They are so stupid. They deserve to die in Xiao Tianyao’s hands.”
Obviously, the emperor didn’t need to feel sorry for the generals who were cleaned up on the border. As an emperor, he has never lacked people in his hands. Those people who fell into Xiao Tianyao’s hands only showed that they were incompetent. The incompetent people die when it’s time to die. He doesn’t need to feel distressed at all.
Hearing the dissatisfaction in the emperor’s words, and his obvious intention to give up those generals on the border, the head eunuch was shocked and frightened. His back was cold.
Their emperor was indeed ruthless. The generals on the border ended up like this because of the emperor. However, not only the emperor didn’t care about their lives but even blame them.
Those generals will in vain. Even their families will follow the disaster.
They desperately work for the emperor, but in the end ended up like this, just thinking about it was simply chilling. Once the other ministers learned that the emperor was so cold-blooded and ruthless, who would dare to work for the emperor in the future?
The head eunuch wanted to persuade, but when he looked up and saw the emperor’s furious eyes, he closed his mouth obediently.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to do his duty to persuade the emperor, it’s just… …
The emperor looked like this, he really didn’t dare to speak. He was afraid that as soon as he spoke, he would anger the emperor, and be suspected that he was taking bribes.
Since ancient times, loyal ministers have been living in difficulties.
The head eunuch knelt there motionless, but sighed secretly in his heart: Everyone said that Xiao Wangye was cold-blooded and ruthless. He killed hundreds of thousands of people without blinking, but… …
Those people who spread the rumors didn’t know that Xiao Wangye was only cold-blooded and ruthless towards the enemy, but very protective to his own people. He will do his best to protect those who are loyal to him. Even if he can’t protect them, he will do his best to take care of his people’s family, so that those who are loyal to them will have no worries.
When the emperor see that many ministers in the court were biased towards Xiao Wangye, he would say that Xiao Wangye has a high means of buying people and that the ministers in the court were unfaithful. He never thought about how many times he made those minister’s hearts chill.
Although the news of the emperor’s tantrum in the palace was blocked, there were still many well-informed people who knew about it, such as Prime Minister Lin Xiang, Prime Minister You, and the people under them.
They didn’t know why the emperor made such a big fire, so they wanted to investigate. But when they saw the palace guards surrounding Xiao Wangfu evacuated, the two old foxes immediately understood.
The emperor’s anger this time must be because Xiao Wangye was fine!
“Xiao Wangye made a wonderful plan, the emperor lost this time.” Lin Xiang looked disappointed and even secretly pondered why Xiao Tianyao didn’t die outside?
Well, he was a loyal crony of the emperor. If the emperor loses, he will also don’t get a good result.
After learning about this, Prime Minister You said: “The life of King Xiao is really big, and Xiao Wangfei is not easy!” Obviously, the old fox Prime Minister You was far more sighted than Prime Minister Lin.
