Text Chapter Ninety-Eight: Burnt Out
"The true identity of the Lord of the Danwen Divine Pill is the grandson of Xiao Tianhe, the generalissimo of the Ming Empire - Xiao Wuxie"
The intensity of the news shocked the entire continent and shocked everyone. No one thought that Xiao Wuxie, the head of the four great gentlemen in the past, would have such an earth-shattering identity.
In the Xiao Mansion, everyone cheered, especially Feiyunwei and Guo Jie, and Tian Heng was even more excited. They were already in awe of Xiao Wuxie, but they didn't expect their son-in-law to have such a terrifying identity, and when they thought of Xiao Wuxie's feat, they also felt honored.
However, Xiao Wuxian in the courtyard was frowning, and Arrogant and Tie Le were standing in front of him. Suddenly, Xiao Wuxie's eyes stared at Tie Le coldly.
Rao was with Tie Le's concentration, and was glanced at by Xiao Wuxian, and he couldn't help but be shocked. Hurriedly said, "Childe, I will take care of this matter, please Childe Mingjian!"
Xiao Wuxian didn't speak, but stared quietly for a long time before he said slowly, "It's me who was too worried, I apologize to you!"
Tie Le and Ao Wuchang couldn't help but feel a shock in their bodies, and no one thought that Xiao Wuxian would actually apologize.
Arrogant Impermanence has been by Xiao Wuxie's side for a while, and he knows Xiao Wuxie's character. usually looks like a child, but he is extremely arrogant in his bones, and it seems that there is nothing in heaven and earth that can enter his eyes.
This has nothing to do with cultivation, this arrogance comes from his character in his bones. It comes from his blood, imprints on his soul, and looks at the world.
But now he actually opened his mouth to apologize, which really surprised the two of them. Tieler, in particular, felt even more flattered, he never dreamed that one day he would be inexplicably excited by a boy's apology.
"Childe, what are you talking about" Tieler's voice trembled a little.
Nameless valley outside the city, upstairs outside the building
Oneiroi smiled at the corner of his mouth and held a fragrant tea in his hand. Looking at the direction where the capital is located, he said lightly, "I really want to know, how do you break this bureau?"
Red Sleeves and Tianxiang stood quietly behind the Oneiroi like this, looking at the Oneiroi with affection in their eyes.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Wuxie's wolf ambition deceived His Majesty, and his ill-intentioned intentions must be severely punished!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Xiao Wuxian deceived the Holy Hearing, and this time he spent a lot of money to buy people's hearts, there must be something wrong, I implore Your Majesty to order his arrest and justice!"
"This son is scheming, deceiving the people of the world, he must have an unsightly secret, he must be trying to subvert my Ming Dynasty, and I ask Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible."
.......
For a while, there was a storm in the court, and all of them were people who criticized Xiao Wuxie. Any crime that can be thought of as an intention to rebel, a bad intention, and a person who buys people's hearts is listed.
Emperor Shenzong frowned, and his face became more and more solemn as he listened to the recital of everyone in the audience. This matter is indeed extraordinary, if a person does not have a major plan, why has he concealed his identity for more than ten years, and even did not hesitate to ruin his reputation.
If there is no major conspiracy in this, it is absolutely unconvincing?
"A group of things that don't know what to say" In the chaotic court, a magnificent and mighty voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone's eyes looked at the person who spoke, and the person who spoke was none other than Li Rusong, the son of Li Chengdong, another giant of the Daimyo Empire's military.
"General Li, what do you mean by that," an imperial historian asked, his eyes full of anger.
Li Rusong snorted coldly, didn't even look at him, and said loudly, "Don't you know what you mean, Marshal Xiao fought for the country at the border pass, and fought bloody." Not to mention whether he is the master of the Divine Pill or not, even if he donates 30 billion military expenses, he will have no worries about food and clothing on the front line, what kind of merit is this, if there is no reward for meritorious service, what is the reason for killing him?"
"I'm looking at what you've done, what else can you do besides your mouth. I haven't made an inch, and I am still talking about it here, I don't know how to be ashamed, you want to move the heroes of the empire at this time, do you want to push my Ming Empire into a place of no return, is it wrong to say that you don't know what to say!"
Li Rusong was originally a person with a proud personality, and it can be said that there is no one in his eyes. When he speaks, he has no scruples, and he is not afraid of offending people at all. At this time, the words were even more impassioned, and directly confused the ministers, looking at each other and not knowing how to refute.
Liu An, the right prime minister, took a step forward and said: "General Li's words are wrong, as the so-called great forbearance must have a big plan." If Xiao Wuxian didn't have any plans, why would he hide his identity so much, and how could he explain it?"
"Yes, how can this be explained?" a group of Wenchen echoed loudly, shouting one after another.
"So what, you moved Xiao Wuxian at this time, I dare to guarantee that Da Ming will die" Li Rusong shouted coldly, not talking nonsense with them at all, and saying a word to these people in his heart is an insult to himself.
"Li Rusong, you are simply a great rebel, you dare to curse me for the death of the Ming Dynasty, what crime should you be guilty of" The household servant reprimanded loudly.
Others even caught the loophole in Li Rusong's words, and immediately launched a crazy verbal and written attack on him. And Li Rusong stood tall and stood tall, watching coldly, and didn't care at all about everyone's shouting and crusade.
"Shut up"
In an instant, the entire court fell silent, because the person who spoke was His Majesty the current Emperor Shenzong.
Looking at these "indignant" ministers in the audience, he felt extremely sad. This is the pillar of the Ming Empire, who is full of poetry and books, and he can't even see the current situation, how can he help him govern the country.
Long Yan was angry and bled thousands of miles. Everyone was frightened, and lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
"Regardless of whether this news is true or not, even if Xiao Wuxian is really the master of the Dan Tattoo Divine Pill, then he is also a credit to the society and the country, and if anyone dares to slander him in the future, he will definitely be severely punished."
Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing, but Emperor Shenzong had an unfathomable smile on the corner of his mouth.
The atmosphere of the audience fell to a freezing point, and Emperor Shenzong was rarely angry. But at this time, the anger still made the hundred officials panic, and they lowered their heads one by one, trembling all over, and did not dare to make the slightest sound.
As long as the emperor says a word, there is immediately a danger of losing his head, who dares to say it again.
"Retreat from the dynasty" Emperor Shenzong snorted coldly, and waved his sleeves away.
Baiguan also breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, he didn't care about attacking Li Rusong, and walked towards the outside of the store one after another. Looking at the trembling white light, Li Rusong's face was full of disdain, and he strode away.
Yu Mian dared to follow everyone out, and as soon as he left the hall, a little eunuch passed by him. whispered, "The emperor has a decree, and the imperial study will see you"
The voice was very small, obviously afraid of being recognized, Yu Mian was old and refined, and knew the way of being an official, so he quietly looked at the surrounding situation, and saw that no one paid attention to him, so he quietly went to the imperial study.
In the Imperial Study
"Yu Aiqing, what do you think of Xiao Wuxie's matter," Emperor Shenzong said straight to the point.
Yu Mian has been an official for decades, and he naturally understands the emperor's mind very well. Knowing that he was asking Xiao Wuxian if he had rebelled, the emperor's most taboo was the military general's seizure of power, which was obviously suspicious of Xiao Wuxian.
"Marshal Xiao, it will never be the opposite," Yu Mian Zhengse said.
Emperor Shenzong's solemn expression was relaxed when he heard this, and he said with a smile, "Yes, Xiao Tianhe will not betray the Ming Dynasty!"
The monarch and the minister smiled similarly, and their doubts were solved!
Yu Mian seems to answer the question, but it is actually his cleverness. Xiao Wuxian is Xiao Tianhe's grandson, Xiao Tianhe's human being Emperor Shenzong still knows very well, and he will never turn his back on the Ming Dynasty. Then Xiao Wuxian is even more impossible, which is well known among the monarchs and ministers.
Regardless of whether Xiao Wuxian is the master of the Danwen Divine Pill or not, the 30 billion military expenditure is to solve the urgent need of the Ming Empire.
Emperor Shenzong skipped the household department and directly handed over the money to Yu Mian and several ministers. On the one hand, Yu Mian began to turn money into grain and grass, horses, strong bows and crossbows, and medicines to the front line, and on the other hand, he began to recruit new soldiers and expand his military strength.
The whole country was immersed in jubilation, and the panicked situation became stable because of the 30 billion military spending. The military is even more confident, at least there will be no more shortage of equipment.
The war in the three major battlefields was in full swing, with Xiao Tianhe in the north, and the two sides fought several large-scale battles, winning and losing each other. But generally speaking, the Ming side is at a disadvantage, after all, the northern wolf clan has poured out, with many soldiers and strong strength.
The West fought frequently under the leadership of Ling Jing, Xirong could not move forward, and Ling Jing was unable to repel Xirong due to insufficient troops, and was in a state of stalemate.
As for the situation in the south, which was the most critical, from the beginning of the war, the imperial court did not send a single additional soldier. Although Hua Yuchun's military talent is among the best in the Ming Empire, it is much inferior to Xiao Tianhe and Ling Jing.
The Dingnan Army, which was already demoralized, was even more discouraged after eating a hundred zhang. Fortunately, with the support of huge military spending, a large number of military horses and equipment are being transported in a steady stream, which greatly boosts the morale of the whole army for a while.
However, Xiao Wuxie's life is very difficult, and news has come from all sides. Due to the exposure of his identity, although he became a hero of the Ming Empire and was deeply loved by the people, he also became a public enemy of all forces.
This includes the Northern Wolf Clan, Xirong, and Southern Barbarians, just because Xiao Wuxie's 30 billion military expenses were thrown down, which they didn't expect. Originally, they planned to drag down the Ming Empire and destroy it easily.
Fortunately, with the support of a huge military expenditure of 30 billion yuan, the situation has taken a huge turn. Whether it is the Ming Empire or other countries, they need a lot of military spending, and they are not as rich as the Ming Empire. It's just that it relies on the alliance of various countries to dare to argue with the Ming Dynasty, but now this advantage no longer exists, and it will be them who will be dragged down in the end.
It was Xiao Wuxian who caused this situation, so they all aimed their hatred at Xiao Wuxie!
