817 commander, you can't have the heart to hurt others
King Xiao took Jin Wuwei straight to the capital, making it clear that he wanted to tear his face with the emperor. www.biquge.info At this time, except for sending troops to suppress it, the emperor had no use for any conspiracy and trickery, but what the emperor lacked now was soldiers.
Although he made a secret decree early and asked the garrisons from all over the country to bring troops to Beijing to protect the king of Qin, the soldiers and horses will not arrive until tomorrow at the earliest, and it may not be useful if they come.
Tens of thousands of horses are not enough to stuff Jin Wuwei's teeth.
Of course, this is not to say that the emperor acted inconsiderately and was not fully prepared, but that things were far beyond the emperor's expectations and control.
Before, he thought about things too simply, thinking that if he won Xiao Tianyao, Jin Wuwei would not be worth paying attention to. How did you know that Xiao Tianyao actually escaped and joined Jin Wuwei.
Without Xiao Tianyao's Jin Wuwei, the emperor would naturally not take it seriously, and now that Xiao Tianyao and Jin Wuwei have converged, Jin Wuwei is not so easy to deal with.
God knows whether the reinforcements who enter Beijing will be able to enter the city smoothly.
"Lin Xiang, do you have a way to hold back King Xiao's footsteps?" The authorities are fascinated, and the emperor has no way at all, so he will rush to the doctor and find Lin Xiang.
"Your Majesty, King Xiao is alone, and it is not easy to find his weakness. The closest people around him are Princess Xiao and the eldest young of the Su family, but now that Princess Xiao and the eldest young of the Su family are not in Beijing, we just want to threaten King Xiao with people, and we have no way to start. "This is Lin Xiang, even if he is in a high position, he still acts with a small family spirit, and he can use conspiracy and never use yang schemes.
"What is the use of the Su family, it's just a subordinate. Can Xiao Tianyao give up a great opportunity for a subordinate? The emperor scoffed, "If you catch your eldest daughter, Princess Xiao, maybe it will come in handy." But his subordinates were incompetent, and they searched in Beijing for three or four days, but they didn't find Princess Xiao.
"Your Majesty, the minister has thought of a good solution." Lin Xiang's eyes lit up, "Princess Xiao has a close relationship with her maternal grandfather's family, if we arrest the Meng family and use them to threaten Princess Xiao, Princess Xiao will definitely give in, and with Princess Xiao in hand, I am not afraid that King Xiao will not throw a mouse." ”
"The Meng family?" The emperor has had a terrible headache recently, and his brain is much duller than before, so he realized after thinking about it for a while, and he was immediately overjoyed, "Okay, good, good plan, Aiqing's plan is feasible." Come on, go and invite the old and young of the Meng family into the palace. ”
"The minion takes orders." The eunuch who was waiting on the side understood what the emperor meant and was ordered to retreat.
"The emperor is wise, with the old and young of the Meng family in hand, Princess Xiao will definitely compromise, and when the time comes, the saint will be able to take down King Xiao without spending a single soldier." Lin Xiang took the opportunity to pat himself on the back, but the emperor was just dull-brained, not stupid, and after thinking about it, he felt that this plan was not enough insurance.
"In the face of major events in the world, King Xiao will not necessarily compromise. The Meng family wants to take it, but we can't all count on the Meng family, we have to make preparations with both hands, Lin Xiang, think about it again, what other tricks are there to retreat from the enemy. "The emperor doesn't want to take Xiao Tianyao in one fell swoop now, as long as it drags on for a few more days.
In a few days, reinforcements from all over the country will arrive, and even if Xiao Tianyao has Jin Wuwei in hand, it will be impossible for him to easily break through the city.
"This ...... Please think again. Lin Xiang looked embarrassed, thought for a long time, and under the impatient urging of the emperor, he whispered, "Your Majesty, why don't you send the third prince out for help?" ”
The third prince, Zhou Zi'an, the son of Zhou Guifei, has a Zhou family leading troops behind him. The Zhou family does not have much military power in their hands, but it is not too little, and they also received a secret decree at this moment, and privately led troops into Jingqin Wang to protect him.
With the little people in the hands of the Zhou family, it can't be a big deal, and the Zhou family has always hoped that the three princes, who have recovered from illness, can go to the army for a turn, so as to establish prestige in the army and gather some military power.
Although King Xiao's rebellion was a bad thing, it was also an opportunity in the eyes of the Zhou family. If the emperor can be persuaded to let the three princes go out of the city privately to collect reinforcements from all over the country, the three princes will be the commanders of the reinforcements at that time.
If the three princes can lead reinforcements and defeat King Xiao, the three princes will be close to the throne.
Of course, the Zhou family also took into account what would happen if the third prince was defeated?
But in the current situation, even if there is no chance of winning, they have to gamble, otherwise if King Xiao breaks through the city, the three princes will not end well if they are undefeated.
"Zi'an? He never led a soldier. "The emperor also thought about sending people out of the city to integrate reinforcements from all over the country, lest they be scattered and broken by Xiao Tianyao one by one.
Originally, the prince was the best candidate, but after the incident that day, the prince had become a complete waste and could not be reused.
Under the hint of the queen's faction, the emperor moved the idea of reusing the eldest prince, King Wen, but the situation was not so critical at that time, and the emperor was relieved.
But now the situation is urgent, and who is in charge of the reinforcements outside, it is related to whether he can sit firmly on the throne, and he has to be cautious.
"Your Majesty, the third prince is gifted and intelligent, familiar with the art of war, his grandfather and uncle are all famous generals, and his identity and ability will definitely be able to deter those generals." Lin Xiang has been tied to the Zhou family's boat and has to speak for the Zhou family.
The emperor knew that Lin Xiang was selfish, but Lin Xiang's words were not unreasonable.
The reinforcements in various places belong to different generals, and it is definitely not easy to get them to listen to one person, and the commander-in-chief does not have enough identity and talent, and it is absolutely impossible to integrate the reinforcements from all over the country.
"Rong Zhen will think about this again." The stakes are so high that the emperor can't decide for a while.
Lin Xiang accepted it when he saw it, didn't dare to say more, and said a few words with the emperor, Lin Xiang saw that the emperor was tired, and alertly proposed to retire, but was vetoed by the emperor, "There have been many things recently, so Lin Xiang stayed in the palace to facilitate my summons." By the way, summon Mrs. Lin, Miss Lin, and Young Master Lin to the palace together, so that Lin Xiang will not be lonely in the palace alone. ”
Who is the emperor? It's the Son of Heaven, it's the emperor!
He can sacrifice anyone for the sake of his rights.
Lin Xiang said that the Meng family could force Lin Chujiu to comply, so what about Lin Xiang?
No matter what, Lin Xiang is Lin Chujiu's father, and if the Meng family can't threaten Lin Chujiu, he doesn't mind trying the Lin family.
It's good if it's useful, and it doesn't matter if it's useless, it's just killing a few more people.
"Saint, saint ......" Lin Xiang didn't expect the emperor to be so ruthless, and suddenly his whole body was cold and he couldn't think.
"It's just that the family lives in the palace, so don't panic." No matter what purpose he has in his heart, the emperor is still amiable.
"Yes, yes." Lin Xiang had words of suffering, but he could only nod his head and accept his fate.
Lin Xiang was taken down, and soon Mrs. Lin, Lin Wanting and the Lin family were all taken into the palace and lived in a corner of the palace, guarded by heavy soldiers, and were not allowed to enter or leave without a will.
