Chapter 257 - 257: 257 A Way Out

“.. Xiao Xiaolang was righteous and indomitable. Her marriage with Xuancheng was ruined by the Wang family. Now, this is the fate of heaven. Tell Xiao Xiaolang to relax. 1 will definitely make it up to him in the future. I won’t let him suffer a secret loss even though he is a good person.”

It was clear that Princess Xuancheng was still going to marry Xiao Baoshu.

Xie Xian hurriedly said,”This minister thanks the Emperor on behalf of my son, but it is not appropriate to bring up such a serious matter now.” Xiao Xiaolang was full of loyalty. In his heart, he had done what he should do. If he were to marry Princess Xuancheng now, it would seem that he was premeditated and eager for quick success. Moreover, with strong enemies surrounding them, it wouldn’t be too late to announce it when the princess of Xuancheng reached the age of marriage.”

This was Emperor Yu Heng’s intention, so how could he not agree? The meaning of what he said was that he wanted to have a tacit understanding. It was fine as long as the Xiao family knew what they were doing. If they followed the emperor, they would not lose out.

What the Emperor was worried about was the marriage of Xin ‘an Prince. There was also another important matter, which was to disintegrate the Wang family’s power.

The Wang Clan dared to challenge the Imperial Family and gave him, the Emperor, a silent loss. If he did not return the favor one by one, he would be treated as a pushover.

In just three to five days, imperial edicts were issued one after another.

Firstly, he established two Ministers of the Ministry of Personnel. Xie Xian immediately took up the post and became the youngest Minister of Personnel in the history of Daliang.

In recent years, the successive emperors of Daliang had intentionally made themselves figureheads. In addition to the fact that the aristocratic families did not do anything, most of them enjoyed high positions and generous salaries, but they did not engage in production. Therefore, even though the noble families had occupied all the noble positions, the emperor had conferred many Scheeren, and it was these Scheeren who did the real work.

Over the years, Scheeren had become a faction with real power.

In Daliang, regardless of how big the official position was, most of the officials who held real power also had Sheren. Otherwise, they would only be noble.

From this, it could be seen that Xie Xian was a favored official. At such a young age, he held a high position and even had real power in his hands.

Immediately after, before the news could spread, another decree was issued, removing the Five Military Ministers. It was like a bolt of lightning that shocked the entire court. Before the Wang Clan could recover from their shock, Wang Lang’s decree came. He was promoted to serve.

This was not a blow.

Shi Zhong was actually the prime minister of the previous dynasty and could be regarded as a noble official with real power.

However, Wang Lang could only look at the orders and sigh. The position of a servant had real power, and it was really just a decoration. At least in Emperor Yu Heng’s reign, the only person who really had the power of a servant was Xie Shi Zhong. The rest were mostly just flower vases.

It was obvious that he had acted ruthlessly and offended the emperor. This was the emperor’s revenge.

However, he could only receive the decree to thank them for their kindness.

Emperor Yu Heng did not stop after returning the favor. Instead, he changed the term of office of the county officials and shortened their term of office. In the past, the term of office of a county official was six years, but it was shortened to three years.

Not only did he tightly grasp the appointment and dismissal of personnel in his hands, but he also issued an edict to recommend talents from all over the world. Anyone with real talent and knowledge would be immediately promoted. If a recommendation is false, even the person who recommended it will be demoted for the people and will never be used.

This was not the first time Emperor Yu Heng had issued such an edict. There had been others before.

However, the timing was rather intriguing and was seen as another heavy blow to the Langya Wang family.

The interests of the court were in full swing, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Xiao and Xu families ‘marriage.

Although it was a secret marriage, the two families were both prominent figures in Daliang, and the scene was quite grand. Early in the morning, Xiao Baoshu was married to a ranked person. After that, he went to the Xu family to pick up the coffin and leave the city. He escorted it all the way back to Jingling and into the ancestral grave.

There were rules about in-laws, and anyone who was married to an in-law, regardless of whether they were male or female, could not marry again for at least a year.

Sikong Xiao had long planned to let Xiao Baoshu stay in Jingling Tomb this year. He had never seen his grandparents since he was young, and he had never been filial to them. It was rare for him to return to Jingling Tomb, so he would observe filial piety in front of the tomb for a year to calm his heart and also to cool his natural playful personality. He also sent his capable strategist and twenty soldiers to protect him. There were also ten or so manservants waiting by his side in the morning and evening.

He was afraid that Xiao Baoshu would neglect his studies.

Of course, there was nothing to neglect in Jiankang, but as a father, he couldn’t help but worry too much. He specially sent a letter to his eldest son, who was the prefect of Jingling, asking Xiao Baoshan to find two respected teachers to teach.

She had thought it through, but when she saw Xiao Baoshu holding the coffin out of the city, her eyes turned red. She couldn’t bear to part with the precious child in her hands. She had actually encountered such a thing at such a young age and left her parents ‘side. With his troublemaking personality, he didn’t want to poke a hole in the sky without anyone watching him.

There was no need to mention Madam Xie. She cried until she was in tears. She leaned in Xiao Baoxin’s arms and scolded Sikong Xiao for being cruel in her heart.

What male and female duo? They were both treasures in her heart when they left her mother’s side. They were the best treasures in the world. There was nothing bad about them. All that was left was good.

Minister Xu cupped his hands and thanked Sikong Xiao.

Seeing that his daughter’s coffin was already too far away from his sight, he helped his wife back into the car.

Xiao Baoxin also tried to persuade Madam Xie,”A lesson is a lesson. In the future, Baoshu will definitely live up to father and mother’s teachings and be a good son of the Xiao family.” Mother, Baoshu is responsible, we should be happy.”

Even though she said that, she was actually feeling sour in her heart.

Ever since this incident, he had never seen Xiao Baoshu’s face smile as thoughtlessly as before.

She had grown up, but she was no longer as happy as before.

“Let’s go back.” Sikong Xiao turned around and sighed.

“Ah Niang, today Second Niangzi is putting on makeup, we still have to go to Second Uncle’s residence.”Xiao Baoxin persuaded softly, not wanting Madam Xie to throw a tantrum again.

To put it bluntly, she was probably the only one who could understand Sikong Xiao-perhaps Xie Xian as well? She wasn’t sure, but she definitely knew.

The situation in the court was complicated and ever-changing. No one knew who would make a move in the end. Xiao Baoshu was like a signboard for the Xiao family in Jiankang City.

Boshu was still young, and it was easy to dodge an open spear but difficult to defend against a hidden arrow. Since that was the case, it was better to send him far away and not let anyone with ill intentions become a chopping board.

Furthermore, other people might not know, but Xiao Baoxin and his daughter knew that Emperor Yuheng died less than two years after Noble Consort Liu’s death in his previous life. Immediately after that, the world fell into chaos and the Xiao family was destroyed.

In the name of Xiao Baoshu guarding his grandparents ‘graves, he was actually pulling him out of the whirlpool to avoid disaster.

It was good that the Xiao family was saved. If the father and daughter failed, Xiao Baoshan was still the prefect of a county. He could protect Xiao Baoshu and leave the two brothers a way out..
