Princess Medical Doctor

Chapter 801: Guidance, turned over to the court

Xiao Tianyao was the god of war to the people of Eastern Country. The God of War who protects them. He has a supreme status in the hearts of the people which was irreplaceable.

If the emperor wants to punish Xiao Tianyao for his crimes, he must first find out about his crimes. Otherwise, it won't be easy to let a first-rank prince who has a high status in the hearts of the people and has made great achievements in battle be beheaded.

However, if he accuses Xiao Tianyao of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, no need to mention the palace ministers, even ordinary people would not believe it.

In these years, how many times Xiao Tianyao led his Jinwuwei Army to resist the attacks of Northern, Southern, and Western countries? Everyone in the east has witnessed it. If it weren't for Xiao Tianyao's presence, the rich eastern country would have been divided up by the other three countries long ago.

The crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country cannot be placed on Xiao Tianyao's head. If he wanted to behead Xiao Tianyao in public, it can only be a conspiracy to usurp the throne!

The Jinwuwei Army's appearance outside the capital corresponded with his plan. It was feasible to say that Xiao Tianyao wanted to rebel and usurp the throne, but still, Xiao Tianyao's soldiers didn't do anything. Even if the emperor convicts Xiao Tianyao based on this, his image in the hearts of the people will not be damaged. Some people said that all of this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy to plot against Xiao Tianyao. If the Emperor killed Xiao Tianyao under such circumstances, it would probably cause dissatisfaction among the people of the east.

Of course, the emperor will not let this kind of thing happen. Before punishing Xiao Tianyao, he will destroy Xiao Tianyao's reputation first, and destroy Xiao Tianyao's status as the god of war and patron saint in the hearts of the eastern people.

In the eyes of the people of the east, Prince Xiao was fighting for the country and protecting the people of the country. Now, the Emperor wants to overthrow this. With the help of a large sum of money copied from Prince Xiao's mansion, he wanted to tell the people of the east that Xiao Tianyao was not fighting for them, nor was he fighting to protect the country, but was fighting for himself.

War was the best opportunity to make a fortune. From the Emperor's point of view, no matter whether Xiao Tianyao made a fortune from wars or not, he will put this charge on Xiao Tianyao.

Xiao Tianyao was the God of War in the east. The Jinwuwei Army in his hands was invincible, but why he has been unable to scare the three countries of North, South, and West for so many years? Why can't he beat them to the point that they will not dare to offend the east again?

Why have they clashed with the three countries so many times, but the three countries still have the strength to send troops to the east in a short time?

Why does Xiao Tianyao choose to rest instead of continuing to attack every time he confronts the three countries, even though the Jinwuwei Army was not seriously injured?

Why does Xiao Tianyao have such a strong army in his hands, but only fight in the other three countries when they reach the east? Why doesn't he take the initiative to declare war in the cradle and minimize the loss of the people?

Why?

Why?

There was naturally something hidden in it, but the Emperor will not say it, nor will he give the world a chance to figure it out. Under his guidance, the people of the east will only know that Xiao Tianyao was raising an opponent and an enemy by doing this!

Xiao Tianyao didn't beat the three countries to death once and for all because he was afraid that if he killed them, he would no longer be able to make money from the war. If he defeated the three countries, he would no longer be the hero and the patron saint of the east, and could no longer have a supreme status.

As for the matter of raiding Xiao Wangfu, the Emperor wanted to let the people of the east understand that Xiao Tianyao was fighting the three countries at the border, not for the people of the east, nor for the country. Xiao Tianyao was fighting for himself, for his selfish desires. The wealth of Xiao Wangfu was accumulated because of years of continuous wars. The gold and silver of Xiao Wangfu were stained with the blood of the people of the east.

Xiao Tianyao was not the east's god of war, nor the east's patron saint. He was just a villain who uses war to make money and consolidate his status. He was not the east's patron saint, but the sinner! A heinous villain!

This was what the emperor wants the people of the east to know. As for the truth?

History was written by the victors, and the emperor does not think that the truth needs to be known.

Carloads of gold, silver, and jewels were shipped out from Xiao Wangfu. The first cart had arrived at the gate of the palace, and the last cart hadn’t been loaded yet. The scattered jewels on the road were extremely dazzling under the sunlight, which also stimulated the hearts of the onlookers.

"A lot, a lot of gold, I have never seen so much gold since I grow up this old."

"These golds were all shipped from Xiao Wangfu. Xiao Wangye is rich."

In the beginning, ordinary people found it normal, but later on, the people arranged by the emperor in advance mixed in the crowd and began to say things that were wrong to guide public opinion.

"This is not just all gold, is it? Xiao Wangye is so rich? Is he richer than the emperor?"

"Isn't the prince's salary just eight thousand taels a year? Where did Xiao Wangye get so much gold, silver, and jewels?"

"You're so stupid, Xiao Wangye has fought so many battles over the years, and he has received more rewards than this."

"Rewards? Open your eyes and you'll see, can you get so many rewards from it? Although Xiao Wangye has made great military achievements in recent years, the treasury has always been short of silver. Most of the rewards given by the emperor are antique calligraphy and paintings. Those things are valuable, but doesn't worth that much."

Over the years, the emperor has been using the treasury as an excuse to reduce military supplies and rewards to Xiao Tianyao, which was also laying the groundwork for today.

The national treasury has no silver, but Prince Xiao was rich. What will ordinary people think?

"Look, this road has been crushed. How much gold does this carriage have?"

"The axles of several carriages were crushed. This carriage must have cost hundreds of thousands of taels. There are hundreds of carriages, does it mean it's worth tens of millions of taels of gold?"

"My mother, there is so much gold, it's all gold. Where did Xiao Wangye get so much gold? No, no, Xiao Wangye has so much gold. Why is there no silver in the treasury when there is a flood in the south the year before last? Why didn't he bring out these silvers? The year before last, there is a drought in the north, which caused so many people to die. Why didn't Xiao Wangye come out with money to help the disaster?”

"Also, there is also southern Xinjiang, which is next to the border of the Southern Country. Didn't the south wipe out several villages a few years ago? The court didn't have any silver, so the officials were asked to donate at that time. Xiao Wangye has so much gold, why he didn't take it out?"

"So much gold, where did so much gold come from? How could there be so much gold in Xiao Wangfu? These… it looks more than the gold and silver in the national treasury. Where did Xiao Wangye's gold, silver, and jewels come from? Xiao Wangye has so much gold, silver, and jewels, why he didn't hand them over to the imperial court?"

"Where did it come from? Thinking about it, it must have been scavenged from the people, otherwise, how could a prince like him be so rich as an enemy."

"War is about money. We have been fighting the south, the west, and the north for so many years which emptied the national treasury. I thought it was used for war, but now it seems…"

"The patron saint, hahaha, the east's patron saint, what a patron saint."

"God of War? Ugh, I think it's more like the God of Wealth. He has a face to take so much money."

Every word, every sentence, was as sharp as a knife. While taking advantage of the powerlessness of Xiao Wangfu's people, they stabbed Prince Xiao in the back, cutting off his good reputation.

"Boom…" While watching the heated discussions among the people, the axle of another carriage broke, and there were huge pearls inside. Each one was as big as a thumb, pure round and translucent, and was worth a thousand gold. Xiao Wangfu has so many boxes of pearls worth a thousand gold, and one of these boxes fell on the ground. The people watching on the side went crazy, they rushed forward to grab them… …
