Chapter 783: Entering the palace, you really have to wear it

What the emperor and Xiao Tianyao were arguing about was not whether Lin Chujiu had meritorious service, whether the celebration banquet should be postponed for Lin Chujiu, or was about face or dignity, but about power and status. Whoever compromises today loses momentum. When the two sides deal with each other in the future, they will no longer be able to overwhelm each other.

In this case, neither side will give in easily!

If they concede, the loss was not only about their face but also about their status and power.

The emperor stared at Xiao Tianyao, waiting for him to back down, but… …

Xiao Tianyao was completely unmoved, and stood under the steps indifferently, with his eyes slightly closed, making it clear that he would not give in, nor compromise, nor give face to the emperor.

He has more than 200,000 troops outside the capital. Does he need to be afraid of the emperor and give the emperor a face?

Undoubtedly, under such circumstances, the only one who should back down was the emperor!

The emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, so far away that no one could see his expression, but the ministers below could probably understand the emperor’s mood at the moment.

It was just that, to their surprise, the emperor was not angry but laughed.

Just when the ministers thought that the emperor was stimulated and mad by Prince Xiao, they heard the Emperor shout: “No wonder people in the capital say that Tianyao has a deep affection for Princess Xiao and is willing to do anything for her. It was a rumor, but today I found out that the rumor is true. Good, good, for the sake of Tianyao’s deep love for Princess Xiao, I agree. The celebration banquet will be postponed for three days, and Princess Xiao will be allowed to attend.”

Affectionate, it was not a good evaluation for a man who holds great power, especially this man who asked the emperor to change his itinerary for a woman!

The emperor’s words were extremely poisonous. He almost directly says that to please a woman, Xiao Tianyao threatened the emperor with military exploits to postpone the celebration banquet.

The ministers who understood the meaning of the emperor’s words all took a deep breath and buried their heads lower one by one.

When immortals fight, mortals suffer. They can’t just show up on such occasions.

All the ministers could understand what the emperor said, how could Xiao Tianyao not understand?

Xiao Tianyao raised his head, looked at the emperor without any scruples, and sneered: “Every time the emperor brought the Empress and Imperial Concubine Zhou to the celebration banquet, it was because of his deep love for them. I have been taught!”

“Nonsense, the Empress is the mother of the country and a model of women in the world. There is nothing wrong with her attending the celebration banquet.” The Emperor never thought that Xiao Tianyao would bite him back. His face became very ugly.

“What about Imperial Concubine Zhou? The position of Imperial Concubine Zhou is indeed honorable, but in the final analysis, she is still just a concubine. Regardless of the face of his first wife, the emperor allowed a concubine to attend various celebrations in the palace. It must be because of his deep affection for Imperial Concubine Zhou.” Xiao Tianyao said. He was not polite at all and tore apart the truth about the emperor’s spoiling one’s mistress and neglecting one’s wife.

The emperor has done all this, but no one was allowed to say it.

“Tianyao, what occasion is this? There should be a limit to your nonsense.” The Emperor pressed his temples, feeling his head twitching, and the pain was severe.

“Your Majesty, you mentioned it first, and I just followed your words.” If it was any other courtier, they would admit their mistakes at this time, pretending that this had never happened.

No, ordinary courtiers would never dare to talk about the Empress or Imperial Concubine on such an occasion, and only Xiao Tianyao dares to talk about the emperor’s private affairs on such a serious and formal occasion.

“You…” The emperor was so angry that he pointed at Xiao Tianyao, his fingers trembling, like an old man suffering from apoplexy.

Xiao Tianyao glanced at it, turned his eyes away calmly, and stood there as if nothing had happened, as if the person who just used words to run on the emperor was not him.

Looking at the situation, Prime Minister Lin knew that if he didn’t appear on the stage again, the Emperor would be very angry to death.

Prime Minister Lin sighed secretly. He resigned to his fate and stepped forward: “Your Majesty, Prince Xiao, and his party must be exhausted after running around for days. Why don’t you ask Prince Xiao to rest first, and discuss other matters at another time.”

In addition to celebrating achievements and conferring rewards, the Emperor originally planned to take advantage of the Zhang Family’s shop to beat Xiao Tianyao, so that Xiao Tianyao would not be too arrogant, but now it seems that today was not a good time.

It was not that the timing was bad, but that the Emperor was not in the right mind, and wasted a great opportunity.

The Emperor’s expression softened slightly, and he nodded, “Prime Minister Lin is right. Tianyao must be extremely tired after traveling all the way. He should go back to rest earlier.” The Emperor also knew that some things should not be rushed. He showed a happy look on his face.

After winning the war, as the emperor, he must be happy!

As for the Zhang Family of the Central Empire?

He doesn’t have to worry. There was still a celebration banquet. He may not have the chance to talk about it today, but the celebration banquet can wait.

“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding. May you live a thousand more years.” Xiao Tianyao stood where he was, without even nodding his head, and just said things as scripted.

“Everyone, leave now.” The Emperor got up, and all the civil and military officials immediately knelt to send the emperor off. As soon as the civil and military officials knelt, Xiao Tianyao standing in the center and the soldiers behind him became more conspicuous. The emperor just looked at them and then withdrew his eyes.

Xiao Tianyao didn’t take him seriously at all. He was really afraid that he couldn’t help it and would get mad on the spot.

“Imperial Doctor Qin, hurry up, summon Imperial Doctor Qin!” As soon as the emperor came to court, he felt his head hurt. As if it was about to explode, and he couldn’t hold it anymore.

When Imperial Doctor Qin came, he didn’t even need to examine the pulse of the emperor. Just by looking at him, he could tell that the emperor’s condition had worsened, so he couldn’t help sighing, “Your Majesty, you can’t get angry and tired, otherwise, your condition will get worse and worse. The medicine will be used in vain.”

“Over 200,000 troops are just outside the capital. How can you tell me to be calm?” Thinking of the news sent by the Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince, the Emperor became even more irritable.

He already knew that the Jinwuwei Army was unusual, but after seeing the news sent by the Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince, he realized that being “abnormal” was still too modest.

No need to mention the 100,000 imperial troops in the capital, and 50,000 troops outside the city, but according to what the Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince said, if there will be a real fight, he would not even have a 10% chance of winning.

Under such circumstances, how could he not be in a hurry?

“Your Majesty…your health is important.” Although Imperial Doctor Qin didn’t know the specific situation, he did know about Prince Xiao’s army besieging the capital. So it was normal for the emperor to be upset.

“Without this country, why would you still treat me? You people… are not loyal to me, you are loyal to my rights. Without this right, are you sure you will do your job?” The Emperor sneered, with a bit of self-mockery.

“Your Majesty is clear, this doctor is loyal to His Majesty, and has no second thoughts. I am sure of His Majesty’s enlightenment.” Imperial Doctor Qin knelt with a loud noise and kowtowed to show his loyalty. The Emperor didn’t let him get up immediately but stared at him. After a long time, when he was sure that Imperial Doctor Qin have no other plans, he said: “Okay, okay, if you don’t believe me, who else can I trust? Get up and treat me.”

Because Xiao Tianyao was so powerful, he was worried about everyone around him. Although he was trying to test Imperial Doctor Qin this time, he also meant to beat him.

Although Xiao Tianyao’s army was outside the capital, making him breathless, he was still the Emperor. He can’t do anything to Xiao Tianyao, but if others dare to play tricks on him, they must prepare themselves to die… …
