Princess Medical Doctor

Chapter 817: Commander, dont harm others

Prince Xiao came straight to the capital with Jinwuwei Army, making it clear that he wanted to tear himself apart from the Emperor. At this time, apart from sending troops to suppress it, the Emperor has no use for any schemes and tricks, but what the Emperor lacks right now was soldiers.

Although he issued a secret decree early on, asking the garrisons from all over the country to bring troops to Jingzhong, and Prince Qin to lead them, but the fastest route of soldiers and horses will not arrive until tomorrow, and it may not be useful even if they come.

There were only tens of thousands of horses in the area, which was not enough to stop the Jinwuwei Army.

Of course, this was not because the Emperor did not act well and was not fully prepared, but because things far exceeded the Emperor's expectations and control.

Before, he thought things too simply, thinking that if Xiao Tianyao was taken down, the Jinwuwei Army would not be worth paying attention to. Who knew that Xiao Tianyao escaped and joined the Jinwuwei Arm?

Without Xiao Tianyao, the Emperor would naturally not pay attention to the Jinwuwei Army. Now that Xiao Tianyao and the Jinwuwei Army have merged, the Jinwuwei Army will not be so easy to deal with.

Only God knows whether the reinforcements coming to the capital will be able to enter the city smoothly.

"Prime Minister Lin, can you hold back the footsteps of Xiao Wangye?" The authorities were obsessed, and the Emperor can't do anything, so he hurriedly sent someone to call Prime Minister Lin.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Wangye is alone. It's not easy to find his weakness. The closest people around him are Xiao Wangfei and the eldest son of the Su Family. But now, Xiao Wangfei and the eldest son of the Su Family are not in the capital. Even if we want to threaten Xiao Wangye with someone, we can't do anything." This was Prime Minister Lin. Even in a high position, he still behaves like a petty man, and he can use conspiracy without resorting to machinations.

"What's the use of the eldest son of the Su family, he is nothing but a subordinate. Can Xiao Tianyao give up a great opportunity for a subordinate?" The Emperor snorted: "If you catch your eldest daughter, Xiao Wangfei, maybe it will come in handy." However, his subordinates were incompetent. After three or four days of searching in the capital, they still couldn't find Princess Xiao.

"Your Majesty, I have thought of a good idea." Prime Minister Lin's eyes lit up: "Xiao Wangfei has a close relationship with her maternal family. If we arrest the Meng family and use them to threaten Xiao Wangfei, she will submit. With her in our hand, we don't need to fear Xiao Wangye to attack."

"The Meng family?" The Emperor has been suffering from a severe headache recently, and his brain was much duller than before. After thinking for a while, he realized it. He immediately rejoiced: "Okay, okay, it's a good plan. Your plan is good. Someone go, and invite the old and young of the Meng Family into the palace."

"This slave takes the order." The eunuch who was waiting on the side understood the Emperor's intention and took the order to retreat.

"Your majesty is wise. With the Meng family in your hand, Xiao Wangfei will compromise. At that time, his majesty will be able to take down Xiao Wangye without a single soldier." Prime Minister Lin took the opportunity to flatter, but the emperor was just dull, not stupid. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that this plan was not feasible enough.

"In the face of major events in the world, Xiao Wangye may not necessarily compromise. If we want to win, we can't just rely on the Meng family. We have to make two-handed preparations. Think about it, Prime Minister Lin, what is the best way to make the enemy retreat?" The Emperor doesn't want to take down Xiao Tianyao in one fell swoop, so he needs to delay for a few more days.

In a few days, reinforcements from all over the country will arrive. Even if Xiao Tianyao has the Jinwuwei Army in his hands, he will not be able to break into the capital easily.

"This… please think about it again, Your Majesty." Prime Minister Lin looked puzzled, 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 to ask for help?"

The third prince, Xiao Zian, was the son of Imperial Concubine Zhou. behind him was the Zhou Family. The military power in the hands of the Zhou family was not too much, but also not too little. At this moment, they also received a secret order to privately lead troops back to the capital.

With the few troops in the hands of the Zhou family, nothing big can be achieved. The Zhou family has always hoped that the third prince who has recovered from illness can go to the army for a while, to establish prestige in the army and gather some military power.

Although Prince 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 third prince go out of the capital privately to gather reinforcements from all over the country, then the third prince will be the commander of the reinforcements.

If the third prince can lead the reinforcements and defeat Prince Xiao, the third prince will be close to the throne.

Of course, the Zhou family also considered what would happen if the third prince lost.

But in the current situation, even if there was no chance of winning, they still have to take a gamble. Otherwise, when Prince Xiao breaks into the city, the third prince will not end well if he was undefeated.

"Zian? He has never led soldiers." The Emperor also thought about sending people out of the city to integrate reinforcements from all over the place, to prevent them from being scattered and being defeated by Xiao Tianyao.

Originally, the crown prince was the best candidate, but after that day, the crown prince has completely become useless and cannot be reused.

Under the cue of the Empress's faction, the Emperor had the idea of reusing the eldest prince, Prince Wen, but the situation was not so critical at that time, so the Emperor was relieved.

But the current situation was extremely urgent, whoever was in charge of the outside reinforcements was related to whether his throne will be secure, so he has to be cautious.

"Your Majesty, the third prince is talented and well-versed in the art of war. His grandfather and uncle are both famous generals. With his identity and ability, he will be able to frighten those generals." Prime Minister Lin had already been tied to the Zhou family's boat and had to speak for the Zhou family.

The Emperor knew that Prime Minister Lin had selfish intentions, but what Prime Minister Lin said was not unreasonable.

The reinforcements in various places belong to different generals. It was not easy to get them to listen to one person. The commander does not have enough identity and talent to integrate the reinforcements from all over the place.

"Let me think about this matter again." This matter was of great importance, and the Emperor cannot decide for a while.

Prime Minister Lin accepted it and he didn't dare to say anymore. He accompanied the Emperor and said a few words. Seeing the Emperor's weariness on his face, Prime Minister Lin alertly proposed to leave, but the Emperor rejected: "Recently, there have been many things, so Prime Minister Lin stay in the palace for convenience. By the way, I will summon Madam Lin, Second Miss Lin, and Young Master Lin together in the palace, lest you feel alone in the palace."

Who was the Emperor? He was the son of heaven, the Emperor!

For his rights, he can sacrifice anyone.

Prime Minister Lin said that the Meng family can force Lin Chujiu to submit, so what about Prime Minister Lin?

No matter what, Prime Minister Lin was Lin Chujiu's father. If the Meng family can't threaten Lin Chujiu, he doesn't mind trying the Lin family.

It would be good if it will be useful, and it doesn't matter if it will be useless, it was just killing a few more people.

"Your, your majesty…" Prime Minister Lin didn't expect the Emperor to be so cruel, and suddenly his whole body became cold, unable to think.

"It's just a family living in the palace for a short time, so don't panic." No matter what purpose he had in mind, the Emperor was still amiable on the surface.

"Yes, yes." Prime Minister Lin couldn't say anything, he could only nod his head in resignation.

Prime Minister Lin was taken down, and soon Madam Lin, Lin Wanting, and the young master of the Lin family were all taken into the palace. They lived in a corner of the palace, guarded heavily by soldiers, and were not allowed to enter or leave without the decree.
