When watching the TV series "Sword Line in the Snow", with the update of the plot, many people are paying attention to why Xu Xiao, who entered Beijing, did not get received by the Emperor of the Yang Dynasty. Logically speaking, a national pillar like Xu Xiao, who was an extremely popular subject, deserved to be received by the emperor, showing the attention of the imperial court and avoiding mutual suspicion between the court and the Northern Starling. However, the actual situation is just the opposite, and the courtiers' dislike of Xu Xiao also reflects the deep meaning behind the emperor. Specifics, and see the following details.
First of all, the emperor did not receive Xu Xiao, which was for the imperial court to see, but the appearance of Yang Taiyi exposed many problems. Generally speaking, Xu Xiao, as a military general and a very popular subject, has become the King of the Northern Starlings, and even if there are contradictions and differences between the monarchs and subjects, they should not show unhappiness in public, so that they will not be able to get off the stage of each other and lose their political standards. However, the emperor of the Yang Dynasty did the opposite, openly not receiving Xu Xiao, but sending a close attendant Yang Taiyi to meet him, and the two people talked very happily, and it seemed that the friendship was not shallow. It can be seen that the emperor and Xu Xiao were good friends in their early years, knew each other, and the emotional foundation should be good. Nowadays, not receiving Xu Xiao is nothing more than showing it to the courtiers, so as not to make the court noisy for the sake of cutting the domain. After all, many of the internal and external courtiers, including the prime minister and the Han Sable Temple, did not like the King of the Northern Starling, and the emperor could not go against the wrath of the people and deviate from the courtiers.
Secondly, Xu Xiao should have had a great deal of merit in that year, otherwise for so many years, the emperor did not make up his mind to cut the domain. Combined with the plot, we all know that Xu Xiaogong was a high-vibration lord, and during the period of the former emperor, he also carried out a sneak attack on his wife Wu Su, which was nothing more than to prevent Xu Xiao from bringing disasters to the country. However, all this was the emperor's close attendant Yang Taiyi to help inquire, which was enough to show that the current emperor did not have much to do with the affairs of the early years. On the contrary, the friendship between the emperor and Xu Xiao should be good, and even have the merit of support, otherwise he would not be so unscrupulous and angrily beat up the Sanpin officials in front of the palace gate. This may also be an important factor in the failure of the Jing'an King to seize the concubine that year, otherwise how could he value Xu Fengnian so much.
At the same time, according to Yang Taisheng's point of view, the current emperor did not want to get rid of Xu Xiao's father and son, and was unwilling to attack Xu Fengnian. In fact, the emperor also knew the loyalty of the Xu family's father and son, and on the contrary, those clan princes in various places may have been even more ill-intentioned. This gave the Xu family father and son a lot of room to play and became fearless. All in all, the internal and external contradictions of the Yang Dynasty are still very complicated, it can be said that various forces have a ghost fetus, and once the ruler makes a mistake and causes the situation to get out of control, then it will inevitably bring unpredictable consequences, which is also an important reason why the emperor did not receive Xu Xiao.
