Chapter 623 Chapter 623(1/3)
The court, which was originally quarrels, suddenly became quiet, and the needles could be heard.
The emperor reacted first and asked in disbelief: "What did you say? Who is against it?"
Did he hear that right? General Xiao, the Marquis of Zhenbei, rebelled?
But isn’t General Xiao of Zhenbei Hou a woman? How can a woman rebel?
Even if you want to rebel, it is Xiao San's rebellion, right?
When they heard the emperor's words, the crown prince, the fourth prince, and the prime minister Xu Shangshu, they all reacted and looked at the eunuch who was rolling on the ground because they were running in a hurry.
The eunuch repeated the facts he heard with shock: "General Xiao, the Hou of Zhenbei, rebelled!" After a pause, he remembered that there were still people outside, and he added, "The person who was passing the message was waiting outside."
The emperor immediately waved his hand: "Biography--"
A few days later, a man with dust and frosty face was brought in. As soon as he came in, he knelt down: "Report to the emperor, General Xiao, the Marquis of Zhenbei, raised the flag and rebelled!"
The fourth prince stepped forward and asked, "Is it sure that General Xiao, the Marquis of Zhenbei, rebelled, not Xiao San?"
The consequences of Xiao Yao and Xiao San's rebellion were completely different.
The emperor, the crown prince, the prime minister Xu Shangshu and all the officials in the court also looked at the man.
They really couldn't believe that Xiao Yao, a woman, dared to rebel - looking at all dynasties in the past, no woman had ever rebelled!
The man who came to report the message repeatedly stated that it was General Xiao Yao, the Marquis of Zhenbei, not Xiao San!
When everyone in the court fell into aphasia after learning that there was no mistake in rebelling.
After a while, Mr. Zhou sneered and said, "A woman can never achieve anything in rebellion. It is worse than a scholar who has no military power to rebel." After saying that, he bowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, don't worry, wait for the news to come out, just be afraid.
Everyone in the world will oppose Xiao Yao’s rebellion, and no one will follow her!"
Not to mention Shilin and Qingliu, even ordinary people will not endure a woman's rebellion.
Xiao Yao was too arrogant and thought that she could lead troops to rebel if she recovered Yuancheng and Yongcheng, destroy Beirong and the soon-to-be-destroyed Haiyuan Kingdom?
It's a joke!
If Xiao San led his army to rebel, they would still have to be afraid of one or two. After all, the number of known people in the Northern Army is enough to be 120,000.
But Xiao Yao is a woman? Not worth mentioning!
Those who were born in scholars such as Prime Minister Wang and Shangshu Xu nodded and agreed with Mr. Zhou’s view.
They know very well what women should look like in the hearts of scholars. If they are separated from the traditional norms of women, these women will be sunk!
All officials also agreed.
The emperor felt relieved when he saw that everyone believed that no one would follow Xiao Yao to rebel.
However, there is no less anger in my heart.
Xiao Yao was promoted by him. He was kind to her and was her great benefactor. It was simply outrageous that she dared to rebel against him!
Immediately, the emperor said in a deep voice: "Come here, send someone to capture the remnants of the rebel traitors in the General's Mansion!"
In order to express his thunderous anger, the emperor not only sent Jingzhao Yin, but also sent people from the Imperial Guard and the Factory Guard to surround the General's Mansion on three floors inside and three floors outside, and arrested everyone in the General's Mansion on the case.
Prime Minister Wang looked at the reporter who was still kneeling on the ground: "In what name Xiao Yao rebelled?"
After hearing this, the man did not dare to speak, but looked at the emperor and the prince carefully.
The emperor's anger was not gone and said, "If you tell me, just say it!"
The man said, "General Xiao said that the emperor was tragic and did not distinguish between right and wrong! Not only did he order someone to plot against her, but he also asked Chen Li to kill her. Yu Jing also persecuted the Crown Princess, the Crown Princess, and the general's mansion, saying that the emperor had no virtue."
The emperor instantly sank his face.
He did not move the General's Mansion and secretly sent Chen Li to the north to take over the Northern Army in order to maintain his reputation, but now Xiao Yao directly removed the fig leaf.
When the fourth prince heard this, he felt a secret happiness in his heart. In order to avoid the emperor seeing it, he quickly suppressed the smile on his lips.
After this incident, the emperor's reputation was absolutely bad and could not be repaired. After he killed the prince, it should be easy for him to force the emperor to abdicate and give way to the wise.
Prime Minister Wang stepped forward and asked, "Is it possible that what Xiao Yao said is what he is? It is obviously a false accusation."
The emperor felt that the fig leaf that Prime Minister Wang had found for him was good, so he nodded immediately: "That's right, it was the slander. Xiao Yao was ambitious and wanted to rebel after his 120,000 army, and he deliberately framed me!"
After hearing this, the man wanted to speak but stopped.
Xu Shangshu said: "If you have anything, just say it. The emperor knows the truth of the matter and finds a way to deal with it."
The emperor glanced at Xu Shangshu and nodded.
The man said, "General Chen Li personally admitted that it was the emperor who sent him to take charge of the Northern Army and poisoned General Xiao."
When the emperor heard this, his face looked even more ugly, and the muscles on his face twitched.
The ministers did not speak, and even though they were quick, they could not find a reason to excuse the emperor immediately.
After a while, Xu Shangshu said, "Isn't it a slander? What do you think of it one by one?"
When the emperor felt a little relieved when he heard the "debunking and complaining", he didn't say anything.
The man glanced at the emperor and said:
"After General Xiao was ill, he sent Chen Li, who was in the north to take over the military power, and replaced General Xiao's original subordinates with his own people, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Northern Army. Then Chen Li ordered people to assassinate General Xiao, who was unconscious, and was
He arrested someone right away, and the Northern Army mutinized at that time, and controlled Chen Li, and interrogated him in public. Chen Li confessed that this was done by the emperor."
The emperor's old face was completely gone, and he shouted angrily: "All nonsense!"
Prime Minister Wang hurriedly said, "The emperor calms down. This must be designed by Xiao Yao. Everyone knows what the emperor treats General Xiao. How could the emperor value General Xiao so much, how could he order people to plot against her and kill her?"
The emperor recovered a little face, but his face still had a fever, his heart was angry and hated, and he wished he could kill the entire general's mansion immediately!
He had no intention of early court at this time, and just wanted to wait for people to bring back the people from the General's Mansion, go to prison, and then sentence the whole family to be executed!
Neither Duke Qinguo nor the Minister of Rites spoke because they vaguely guessed that what the informant said was true.
As ministers, they are naturally loyal to the emperor, but as ministers, they think that one day they will be eliminated by the emperor, and they will inevitably feel like they are cooked by the emperor.
Shangshu Xu glanced at Prime Minister Wang who was flattering the emperor, and also came out to the emperor and said, "Emperor, Xiao Yao's rebellion is an unforgivable crime. Please order the entire general's mansion to behead him to warn the world!"
All the officials had long disliked Xiao Yao and they all came out to agree.
Duke Qinguo and the Minister of Rites moved their lips when they heard this, and they couldn't help but leave and said, "General Xiao rebelled because he misunderstood that the emperor wanted to kill her. The emperor had no intention of this, but he was framed by a villain. It would be better to clarify the misunderstanding. The king and the ministers.
Get along?"
Xu Shangshu sneered: "Even if there is a misunderstanding, Xiao Yao should take the initiative to clarify with the emperor and let the emperor, the emperor, clarify with her. What is the reason?" After a pause, he said, "I, Guaner and others, have always loved to help General Xiao.
Speaking, can it be that they are from the same faction as Xiao Yao?"
When the emperor heard this, he gradually narrowed his eyes. He also noticed that the two old ministers said much less today than usual.
The Minister of Rites and Duke Qin quickly said that they did not dare.
However, Shangshu Xu and Prime Minister Wang refused to give up, but continued to attack, intending to bring down the Minister of Rites and Duke Qin - they are both emperors, and it is considered one if they can kill one, otherwise the emperor would always think that he could follow.
They fight against each other.
The emperor was not yet confused. He soon realized the ambitions of Prime Minister Wang and Shangshu Xu, so he waved his hand and spoke out to protect the two of them.
He believed that the Minister of Rites and Duke Qin would not betray him and spoke for Xiao Yao because he wanted to be angry with the General's Mansion. He didn't need to be angry because of the two of them and the General's Mansion.
He cut off his arm and made Prime Minister Wang and Shangshu fulfill his wishes.
When Prime Minister Wang and Secretary Xu saw the emperor protecting Duke Qinguo and Secretary of Rites, they knew that they could not pull them off today, so they had to stop talking regretfully.
Once again, someone mentioned that the general's mansion was to behead him.
The emperor lowered his face and his voice was cold and cold: "The rebel thief will naturally be killed in the whole family!" Not only will the whole family be killed, but he must also be shown to the public first, and then beheaded in front of all the people in the vegetable market, so that the world can know
What is the consequence of rebellion?
The emperor was full of anger and felt more comfortable when he thought of killing the general's mansion.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Fang Shaozhong from the factory garrison first came back with a ugly expression and reported: "Report to the emperor, the traitors in the general's mansion are not in the general's mansion and they are no longer in the general's mansion."
The emperor stood up and asked sternly: "What did you say? What did you mean not being in the General's Mansion? Didn't I ask you and others to guard the General's Mansion that day?"
Fang Shaozhong was sweating coldly: "It is indeed the one who guarded the General's Mansion. For many days, he has never seen anyone leave the General's Mansion. But when we entered the General's Mansion to search, we found that there was no one in the General's Mansion."
The emperor was furious and quickly walked to Fang Shaozhong and kicked him: "What does it mean to be empty? Since you have been surrounding the General's Mansion, how could the people from the General's Mansion disappear?"
At this time, Jingzhao Yin came to report.
The emperor had a gloomy face and asked Eunuch Cao to come in.
Jingzhaoyin's face looked as ugly as Fang Shaozhong's. He immediately knelt down after he came in.
The emperor was so angry that he gasped: "Tell me, what the hell is going on!"
Jingzhao Yin's face looked like earth, and whispered: "I found a tunnel in the general's mansion and sent someone to chase it. As for where the tunnel leads, it is unknown yet. I know that the emperor is eager to know the situation, so I come back first to report it.
emperor."
The emperor was so angry that he trembled all over and kicked Jingzhao Yin again: "Baoshi--"
Prime Minister Wang, Shangshu Xu and others also looked extremely ugly.
After waiting for another half an hour, Jingzhao Yin and the talent from the factory and garrison came to report that the general's mansion had sent people to chase him outside the city.
