Chapter 144
Chapter 144: Taking advantage of sickness and To throw into disorder
Xiao Tianyao is an activist, once he said something, he would really do it. But as for the Guo Gongfu, Xiao Tianyao didnt say anything but only raise his hand.
After two days, Lin Chujiu received a letter stating: When the Meng brothers went out, they encounter thieves. Meng Shi didnt die, but he needs to recuperate for a month and ten days to survive. As for Meng Erye and Meng Sanye, their legs got broken during the fight. After careful diagnosis, it is said that they wont get crippled, but they need to stay in bed for three months.
Needless to say, this handwriting is Xiao Tianyao, Lin Chujiu who was dumbfounded look at him and said: Cant you be more gentle? Such brutal action can make a person actually crippled, right?
Isnt it for the better? With this kind of actions, the emperor will believe that he is stopping Guo Gongfu to lead the army, isnt it?
Yes, Xiao Tianyao didnt hide his intention. As soon as the emperor investigate this incident, he will learn that he used his hands.
This move can also be considered as a warning to the emperor. A warning that he wont sit still and just watch his confidants die.
He can tolerate the emperor locking up his people, but he cant tolerate him beheading them. If the emperor will truly dare to kill his confidants, then he will dare to stir up trouble in the capital city to no end.

As soon as the emperor received the news that the three Meng Brothers got into an accident. He took a deep breath and smashed the inkstone in the table: Xiao Tianyao you really do have a lot of courage! You actually dare to murder people in my capital? What kind of place do you think is this?
Huangshang, please dont get angry. Were still not sure if this matter is Xiao Wangyes doing. Lin Xiang bite the bullet and said.
Whether he is the perpetrators or not, he has a relationship with him. So, his life depends on the emperors moods today.
Who else aside from him will dare to cause such trouble in the capital? Whos perpetrator will dare to attack people right under zhengs foot and die? The emperor is very confident in this matter. Under his governance, no gangster, thieves or rogue will dare to cause him trouble.
And to prove this, the emperor asked the head of spies to report what they had found out: The perpetrator is Xiao Wangye. He seems doesnt want to hide this fact.
Obviously, Xiao Tianyao didnt hide his doing to say to the emperor that he is not afraid of causing him trouble.
Indeed, it is him. Hes the only one in the east, that wont dare to put zheng in his eyes. Now that the perpetrator has been identified as Xiao Tianyao, the emperor is not actually very angry.
This is not the first time Xiao Tianyao go against him, so hes already gotten used to it. But, if Xiao Tianyao repeatedly challenged his authority, then he had no other choice but to find a way to kill him.
The Head of Spies didnt dare to say anything else, he only keeps kneeling on one knee and wait for the emperors next order. As a result, he kneels for a long time, but only heard one sentence: Keep watching Xiao Wangfu and report to zheng his every move.
The Head of Spies almost cried when he heard these words. After all, its very hard to monitor Xiao Wangfu, so whats more their every movement.
However, he couldnt tell this to the emperor, so he only bites the bullet.
After the Head of Spies left, Lin Xiang also did not dare to say anything else and just stayed kneeling to plead for mercy.
He is not close to Xiao Tianyao. But, Xiao Tianyao is his son-in-law. So, if the emperor wants him dead, what else can he do?
The emperor is indeed very angry, but seeing Lin Xiang so poor and by thinking his loyalty for years. The emperor said: You may rise.
Thank you, Huangshang. May you live a thousand years more. Lin Xiang gesture can be said extremely exaggerated. But, he still knocked his head loud on the floor to show his appreciation.
The emperors mouth is somewhat still smoking. Seeing this, Lin Xiang staggered a bit when he stood up and think that even if he aged, life is still not easy. However, in the end, he didnt say anything.
Lin Xiang stand still and dare not mention anything about the incident. Instead, he directly talks about an important business: Huangshang, now that any of the Meng Brothers can lead the army, we need to appoint a new general.
Eminent Xu was waiting in Weiyuan. The emperor already has a backup plan. Because he knows Xiao Tianyao will do anything to stop Meng Shi to lead the army.
Lin Xiang immediately understood whats going on the emperors mind, so he busily said: Huangshang is truly wise. Eminent Xu has gotten more and more brave and fierce in battle. With Eminent Xu as the general Northern Army become less fearsome.
The emperor is also very satisfied with his decision, Eminent Xu is experienced in fighting Northern Army. Zhen believes, he can complete this task in four to five days.
*
The emperor chooses a general this time without any trace of personal feelings. So, when Xiao Tianyao received the news, he also felt very satisfied: With Eminent Xu, we dont have to worry about the northern army.
Eminent Xu is an upright person, he wont deliberately go against our people. But, that is, if the emperor will not use a backhand. Su Cha said because hes not only used in making careful plans, but also in the making of the worst case of plans.
People are all the same. Unless the general is he himself. No person will go against the emperors orders to clean off his people.
Hearing this, Liu Bai sighed deeply. Today, he didnt say anything so that he wont make Xiao Tianyao unhappy.
No arguments happened. Su Cha and Xiao Tianyaos discussion went well. And so, the two of them continue to talk about how they will force the emperor to release his confidants and let them return to their original post and join the front line.
With those confidants as middle-level generals, they wont need to worry about the lives of his 300, 000 soldiers.
However, its already not easy to make the emperor released them, so what more to reinstated them as officials. And in order to take them all in, the emperor tried his best to formulate evidence that will pass the law.
If we cant overturn his verdict, lets drag all of his people in the army down. In all those years of battle, those people only acted as the military general to get loots, but never actually run an army. Even if they wont admit to that, people under them must have received some of it, right? Like their children or relatives. Benwang wont believe those people are innocent. Check them all and look for remaining evidence.
This is the best move. Xiao Tianyao didnt look at it before because there is no war. But in the past, even if there was chaos in appointing generals during the war, the emperor still had time to slowly appoint his people. It didnt affect their overall situation, but it helps the emperor to cause tumor in the army.
However, right now, the situation is different. Because this war with the northern army may last for a year and a half. They also need to monitor the Southern and Western Country. Because as soon as they lose defense, these two countries will definitely advantage the situation.
When Su Cha heard Xiao Tianyaos words, his bright eyes immediately got dim: We dont have enough time to collect much evidence. We have limited manpower.
The power in their hands is great, but it is not enough to check the entire state. The emperor can mobilize his power in the entire East, he can even make an honest detective lie. But them? They cant.
We dont have enough manpower, so naturally, someone will do it for us. Xiao Tianyao knows it more clearly than Su Cha. He also doesnt want to drain his energy to investigate.
Su Cha immediately understood the meaning of Xiao Tianyaos words, so he asked: You mean to say, youre going to ask Tiancang Pavillion?
If its the Tiancang Pavillion, then there will be no problem!
