Chapter 239 A big tree attracts the wind
Sure enough, the next day, a unanimous voice appeared in the court, saying that the 300,000 troops of the Beilin Army were mysteriously poisoned and were in danger, and the King of Yan could not shirk his responsibility.
Shen Quan held the board in his hand and said in a sonorous voice, "Your Majesty, the Changlin Army is the fiercest army of our Northern Xiao Kingdom, and the strongest army to resist foreign countries. The King of Yan is guilty of neglecting his duties."
The fire in his warehouse destroyed all his savings over the years. Not only that, his buttocks were completely leaking. If he wasn't careful, a few small lumps of flesh would fall out, and he couldn't stuff them back in no matter how hard he tried...
Yao Wenhong also stepped forward and spoke clearly: "The Beilin Army has 300,000 troops. It is the core army of our Beixiao Kingdom. We must not slack off. Now it is almost wiped out under the governance of King Yan, which really makes the ministers panic."
Xu Ming from the Ministry of Rites leaned forward and said, "Since the King of Yan is unable to manage these 300,000 troops, it would be better to divide them into two. This will greatly reduce the risk."
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
......
Xiao Hanye lowered his eyes and saw that the people who impeached him actually occupied half of the court...
He slowly raised the corners of his lips and glanced at those people who were making impassioned speeches. He really underestimated the queen. She was able to win over so many court officials. But it was a pity that they were all a motley crowd and none of them caught his eye.
The emperor sat majestically on the dragon throne, looking at the court officials kneeling below. He narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly: "All the soldiers of the Beilin Army have been poisoned. As the commander-in-chief of the army, the Prince of Yan has no choice but to take responsibility. Since the Prince of Yan is powerless..."
At this time, the hall was silent, and they all knew what the emperor would say next.
The Emperor is finally going to redistribute military power...
Prince Ning concealed his inner excitement. No matter what, he would be able to get half of the Beilin Army this time, right?
Even King Jing couldn't contain his inner joy. It was worthy of him risking his life, so he must have a share this time, right?
"As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind. The Beilin Army will become panic-stricken at the slightest disturbance. In comparison, everyone has ignored the Beijing Army and the Beiyu Army!" Xiao Hanye interrupted his next words with a cold voice.
The old emperor frowned and asked, "What do you mean, Old Fourth?"
"Father, if this was an intentional entrapment by the enemy, why would they specifically target my Beilin Army?"
At this moment, Jiang Shou came running in with small steps, lowered his head and whispered something in the emperor's ear, but the emperor visibly staggered.
Xiao Hanye narrowed his eyes, and a cold light appeared in them.
He was never a man who would sit and wait for death. Since some people were willing to sacrifice the lives of 300,000 Beilin soldiers in order to get a piece of the pie, how could he just do as they wished?
He used the same method to plan against the Beijing Army and the Beiyu Army.
The Beijing Army was under the command of the old emperor himself, while the Beiyu Army was under the command of Xiao Jun'an.
Now, the emperor and Xiao Jun'an were both blamed for the failure of the imperial army. When it doesn't happen to them, they always demand too much from others, but what if it really happens to them?
The old emperor slammed the table angrily: "Call Prince Yu and Shen Xiao here!"
This is really outrageous. When such a situation occurred in the Beiyu Army and the Beijing Army, why didn’t the two army commanders come to report it in person?
In comparison, the King of Yan acted in accordance with the rules.
Therefore, his eyes when he looked at King Yan were less sharp: "What is the current situation of the Beilin Army?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the military doctor has worked all night to develop an antidote. After testing, the poison has been controlled. I am concerned about the soldiers and had no intention of attending the morning court, but I have to come to Your Majesty to ask for something." Xiao Hanye pursed his lips, with a hint of helplessness on his face.
It was rare to see him looking so listless, and the old emperor could not help but lower his eyes and stare at him.
There were some bruises under his eyes, probably because he couldn't sleep all night because of the poisoning of the soldiers?
But he had no intention of feeling sad for Qiuyue. Instead, he said loudly, "Since the antidote has been developed, let the military doctors go to treat the Beijing Army and the Beiyu Army separately."
Xiao Hanye nodded and said, "This is why I came here. Due to time constraints, the military doctor was unable to develop an antidote for Xiaoyao Powder. This son of mine once got a Qiancao Pill by chance, which accidentally saved my life. So I took out the Qiancao Pill and refined it into a decoction. But I didn't expect that God would bless me, Bei Xiao, and it would be the antidote for Xiaoyao Powder."
At this point, how could the old emperor not understand?
In order to save the Beijing Army and the Beiyu Army, he and Xiao Jun'an had to hand over Chigusa Maru.
Xiao Hanye took out his Qiancao Pill in time to stabilize the morale of the Beilin Army, so at this moment, he and Xiao Junan must also act like commanders of the army.
Therefore, he said without any hesitation: "Hurry up and give my Qiancao Pill to Prince Yan to treat the Beijing Army!"
"You don't need Father's Qian Gua Pills. I have developed an antidote."
Xiao Jun'an, dressed in a white brocade robe, walked slowly towards them in the morning light.
He also had some bruises under his eyes, but it didn't affect his overall elegance at all.
"Oh?" The emperor's eyes lit up.
Xiao Jun'an bowed his head and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, this time it is all thanks to my cousin, otherwise, I would be at a loss."
The emperor slapped the table and said happily, "I forgot about the prince of the Western Regions. He is the master of making poisons!"
He does not mean that.
A faint light flashed across Xiao Hanye's narrow eyes.
Could the mysterious poisoning of the Beilin Army soldiers be the work of the Prince of the Western Regions?
Over the years, he has been fighting openly and secretly with the Yao family, but has never fought with Prince Yu.
In fact, the King of Yu was mostly on his side.
Haha...is this finally revealing its true colors?
He was just saying, how could there be someone in this world who is as gentle, cheerful, upright, noble and elegant as his third brother?
If there is, it should not appear in their royal family which is full of intrigue.
The two were supposed to be princes born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but because of the different treatments of the old emperor, they developed completely different personalities. One was solemn and cheerful, while the other was sinister, tyrannical and bloodthirsty...
Perhaps, it is just a means of survival...
