Chapter 138

If the Xie family fails to suppress the rebellion, then he can hold the Xie family accountable for their ineffectiveness and punish them.

Conversely, if the Xie family quelled the rebellion in one fell swoop, would it be difficult to label the Xie family as colluding with the rebels?

Of course, even if he wanted to clean up Xie's family, he would wait for Xie Chengzhong and the others to clean up the foreigners in the north.

Emperor Yongming was not an idiot.

In fact, ever since the amazingly talented Taizu emperor of Daxia left such a will, the successive emperors of Daxia have been trying to strengthen the imperial power and weaken any factors that might affect their Li family's rule.

The Wu Xun family is one of the important factors.

The Wu Xun family, which has existed since the founding of the Great Xia, has a special influence in the army.If there is anyone who can really turn the statement in that posthumous edict into reality, it can only be the Wu Xun family.

This is why the emperor tried so hard to get rid of the Wu Xun family.

……

Emperor Yongming's decree reached Xie's family, but Mr. Xie directly refused to accept the decree.

The reason is very strong, he is too old to lift a gun.

The eunuch who delivered the decree returned to Qianqiu Palace with the rejected decree, and made Emperor Yongming very angry.

However, no matter how angry Emperor Yongming was, he could not force Mr. Xie to lead the army to suppress the rebellion.

As for finding other members of the Xie family to suppress the rebellion?

Emperor Yongming still needs face!

After being rejected by Mr. Xie, he found another member of the Xie family, and he couldn't afford to lose this person.

Then, in a rage, Emperor Yongming dispatched his favorite Ninth Prince to lead the army to suppress the rebellion.

It is not uncommon for the prince to personally lead troops in Daxia.

At the beginning of Emperor Taizu's founding of the country, all the princes were skilled horse bowers. Even the subsequent generations of emperors valued the princes' horse bow skills very much.

However, the Ninth Prince had greatly failed Emperor Yongming's trust.

He led forbidden troops out of Beijing, but before arriving at Suihe Mansion, nearly half of the forbidden troops ran away.

The worst thing was that not long after the Ninth Prince's army entered Suihe Mansion, they were attacked by rebels.

In the First World War, the Ninth Prince lost all his soldiers and generals, and even he himself was captured alive by the rebels.

……

Longshan Village.

Jiang Lao Er and Rong Chan are now in close contact with the Xie family, and they can always hear what happens outside as soon as possible.

After knowing that the Ninth Prince was defeated and captured, Rong Chan sent a letter to Mr. Xie.

It's time for the Xie family to consider retiring!
If the Ninth Prince wins, the Xie family still has the possibility to survive.

But the Ninth Prince suffered a disastrous defeat, and he himself became a prisoner.

Emperor Yongming would definitely take the anger out on Mr. Xie, and then on the entire Xie family.

After all, it was Mr. Xie's refusal to accept the imperial decree that made the Ninth Prince suppress the rebellion.

"Daughter-in-law, the emperor wouldn't be so narrow-minded, would he?"

Jiang Laoer felt that the emperor should not be so narrow-minded. After all, the old man was old and could not lead the army to suppress the rebellion, which was very reasonable.

"Whether the emperor is narrow-minded, I don't know!"

Rong Chan smiled bitterly, "But, I know, the emperor pays great attention to his face."

"The Ninth Prince was appointed by him to quell the rebellion, representing the royal family and the emperor. The fiasco of the Ninth Prince is tantamount to the emperor's fiasco!"

"Daughter-in-law, then, can grandpa and the others retire smoothly?"

"It might work!"

Rong Chan thought for a while, then said slowly, "Grandpa is so powerful, he must be able to think of a way."

"Daughter-in-law, do you want me to go to the capital again?"
