There were 30,000 soldiers and horses who attacked the Jinwuwei Army Camp at night. These 30,000 soldiers were the frontier troops stationed at the Southern Border. They were also known for their bravery in the East.
When the people on the camp learned that the soldiers and horses that attacked at night were led by General Yang, they thought that Prince Xiao would not be able to return to the capital with them tomorrow, but the battle was over before dawn, and there was even news from the front that Prince Xiao captured General Yang alive.
âI heard that Xiao Wangye captured General Yang alive. Is this true?â There was a war outside, how could all civil and military officials sleep in the barracks? As soon as they heard the news, everyone ran to ask Prime Minister You.
âIâm in the military camp just like you, how could I know what you donât know?â Prime Minister You stroked his beard with an inscrutable look on his face.
Although Prince Xiaoâs Jinwuwei Army was like an iron bucket, spies canât get in, but under hundreds of thousands of people, he can find one or two people who can take action. He canât get important news, but some trivial news can still be asked.
He does know some news that others donât know, but even if he knows some news, he canât say it.
âPrime Minister You, please donât play with us. We all know that you are well-informed, so tell us quickly.â The officials who were familiar with Prime Minister You know he has the ability, so they donât believe his words.
âYes, Prime Minister You, tell us if it is true?â Hearing this, several other officials followed suit, but Prime Minister You firmly shook his head: âWe will know about this when Xiao Wangye comes back.â
âWill Xiao Wangye hand over General Yang?â A short official asked in a low voice.
If Prince Xiao hand over General Yang, this matter will involve a lot.
âOf course, Xiao Wangye is not afraid of going to war with the court.â Prince Xiao has already started a war with the court.
âIsnât General YangâŚâ The man was startled, but he knew what to say and what not to say, and the words that followed were automatically silenced.
Prime Minister You didnât speak, just glanced at the other party and closed his eyes silently.
Success and defeat, sometimes the choice was more important than ability. General Yang was not a person without ability, but he chose the wrong master, the emperor lost, and General Yang naturally did not end well.
Not only Prime Minister You understood this point, but also the ministers present. Otherwise, they would not have come to ask Prince Xiao to go back to preside over the overall situation and support Xiao Tianyao.
At daybreak, Xiao Tianyao returned to the camp with 10,000 captives, led by General Yang, whom the minister was talking about. However, Xiao Tianyao did not embarrass General Yang, nor did he treat General Yang as an ordinary prisoner. Xiao Tianyao only asked people to disarm General Yang and sent people to follow him.
âCongratulations to Xiao Wangyeâs triumphant return.â The officials headed by Prime Minister You came out to welcome Prince Xiao when they heard the news.
Lin Chujiu also heard the news, but she didnât come out. She silently packed her things in the camp and prepared to return to the capital.
âMmm.â Xiao Tianyao responded lightly. Although there was no blood on his body, he exuded a strong bloody smell. Prime Minister You usually see blood, but he was shocked when he smelled the bloody smell on Xiao Tianyaoâs body.
With such a strong smell of blood, how many people have to be killed, and how much blood has been stained?
The people beside Prime Minister You became more and more frightened as they thought about it, and they didnât dare to look at General Yang. They respectfully said: âXiao Wangye must have been exhausted, leading the troops to battle last night. Why donât you go back to the capital after resting for one more day?â
âNo, we will leave in an hour, and it happens that General Yang will also return to the capital together.â Xiao Tianyao took the initiative to mention the existence of General Yang.
Except that he didnât talk about rebellion, what he did was no different from rebellion. He was not afraid of going to war with the imperial courtâs troops.
The Emperor was unconscious and had lost his sovereignty. Now he can say anything.
âGeneral Yang? Could it be that the person who attacked last night was General Yang? This, thisâŚâ Prime Minister You raised his head in shock, and looked at General Yang beside Xiao Tianyao in disbelief: âGeneral Yang, how could you do that? What happened?â
âWhat did I do? I was ordered to go to the capital to escort Prince Qin, but youâre saying I did something wrong?â General Yang personally led the troops to the capital after receiving the emperorâs news, which showed that he was the emperorâs confidant.
Seeing Prime Minister You and the people beside him talking for Xiao Tianyao, General Yang was furious and said mockingly: âEven if I did something wrong, I am better than your group of duplicitous officials and thieves. At least I will not betray the Emperor, and I will not betray my master for glory. â The Emperor was not dead yet, but they were eager to welcome Prince Xiao back to the capital. What were they to question him?
âYou, you insulted the imperial court official in public, what do you think you are doing?â Prime Minister You pointed at General Yang with an angry face.
*Pa* General Yang slapped off Prime Minister Youâs hand unceremoniously: âDonât point at this general, be careful that this general chops off your hand.â
âYou, you are so bold!â Prime Minister Right blushed, and his hands were trembling: âGeneral Yang, you are out of your mind. You donât know the situation in the capital, so donât act rashly. The Emperor is seriously ill and comatose, Xiao Wangye will serve as the regent. At this time, do you think you are serving the country and the people? No, you are adding chaos instead, what is your intention?â
âYou people conspired with Xiao Wangye to assassinate the Emperor while he is unconscious. What face do you have to say that I have intentions?â General Yang naturally knew that the current situation was not good for the Emperor. If he was smart, he would turn to serve Prince Xiao, but he was unwilling to do so.
He belonged to the Emperor, and the glory of the Yang family was given by the emperor. If it werenât for the current emperor, their Yang family would have been extinct long ago. Anyone would betray the emperor, but he would not.
âGeneral Yang, you misunderstood Xiao Wangye. The Emperor was unconscious because of his brain disease. Xiao Wangye has been looking for a famous doctor to treat the Emperor these days.â Prime Minister You said sadly while looking at General Yangâs eyes as if he canât see the child who was not sensible.
âHmph, I donât believe a single word you say.â General Yang snorted coldly, turned his face away, and made it clear that he didnât want to say more.
âWangyeâŚâ Seeing this, Prime Minister You looked at Xiao Tianyao in embarrassment.
They donât understand why Prince Xiao would capture General Yang alive.
For a loyal confidant of the Emperor like General Yang, it would be easier to kill him directly.
âLetâs go back to the capital together and let General Yang see clearly whether benwang has the intention to kill the Emperor.â He wanted the Emperorâs confidant to see that the emperorâs illness had nothing to do with him.
Now, he doesnât want to bear the infamy of killing his brother and seizing the throne, let alone making wedding dresses for others.
âWhat Wangye said is right, actions speak louder than words. When General Yang enters the capital, he will naturally know the truth of the matter.â Prime Minister You were old and sophisticated. As soon as Xiao Tianyao opened his mouth, he guessed Xiao Tianyaoâs intentions and said in cooperation.
Xiao Tianyao nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand, and said: âYou all go, we will leave on time in an hour.â
After he finished saying those words, Xiao Tianyao strode towards the tent.
