Chapter 366 - 366-Explode
When Xie Xian returned to the Xie Manor, it was already noon the next day.
The entire night, the palace was in an uproar.
Prince Jin ‘an rebelled, Prince Yiyang escaped and was not caught, Prince Huaiyang’s concubine was frightened into miscarriage, and Prince Huaiyang went to the palace to report the matter to the emperor. He and Xue Jing’ er were almost at the same place.
Although Xue Jing ‘er could not absolve herself of the blame for bumping into the Prince of Huaiyang’s ox-cart, the problem was that both of them had their own excuses.
The Prince of Huaiyang said that Xue Jing ‘er’s rampage had frightened the concubine. Xue Jing ‘er said that the concubine and the others were showing off and got off the carriage to fight with him. It was the concubine who got off the carriage to scold him, and in the end, she was knocked over…
They didn’t need to say much. With one sentence from Xie Xian, the two of them stopped.
“Jiang Prefecture Governor, Prince Yiyang has rebelled.
With that, the Prince of Huaiyang was enlightened, and his attitude immediately changed. He only wanted Xue Jing ‘er to admit her mistake and atone for her sins.
■’Now is the time for trouble, and it is time to use people. General Xue is young and promising, and your battle achievements are outstanding. I only hope that you will be less angry in the future and not be arrogant. You will wholeheartedly serve the court and share the burden of His Majesty.”
What kind of person was he? He was like a fish in the water in the Imperial Family. No matter how suspicious Emperor Yu Heng was and how he killed his own brothers, he still kept him in the Imperial Family to provide for him with a high position and a generous salary. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was suspicious of Imperial Consort Liu, she would have been the first person in front of the Emperor and possessed immense power.
What right did he have?
Wasn’t it because his hands were slippery and his body was soft?
In the previous coup, he had sided with Empress Wang, although he quickly became Emperor Yong Ping’s pawn after seeing the situation. In the end, he still had a criminal record. In addition, the matter of Liu Guifei was concealed and not reported. He felt guilty in his heart. Now that there was a rebellion, how blind was he to be able to argue with the Emperor at this critical moment? Therefore, Emperor Yong Ping did not even need to say anything and the other party resolved the matter himself.
His concubine had suffered a miscarriage. If he didn’t step up for this matter, the onlookers would laugh to death. They would treat him like a pushover and bully him. He had to seek justice from the emperor.
However, compared to national affairs, it was not worth mentioning. He retreated with reason.
The mighty King of Huaiyang had conceded. Xue Jing ‘er was not stupid, so she naturally took the opportunity to step down and apologize to the other party. The storm disappeared.
As for the sin, it was just a casual remark. It was not even decided, so how could he wear it?
The internal problem had been resolved, and without the King of Huaiyang’s unrelenting attitude, Emperor Yong Ping’s ears were still a little more peaceful.
What was even more annoying was what followed.
Since Prince Yiyang had escaped, there was already a possibility of rebellion. Now that Prince Jin ‘an had rebelled, the two of them had joined forces. Wouldn’t they just change their allegiance and become kings?
Emperor Yong Ping had just ascended the throne and had yet to sit on the dragon throne, yet he had already caused such a thing. He was anxious like an ant on a hot pan and grabbed onto Xie Xian without letting go.
This was his military advisor, confidant, and right-hand man.
Using Empress Wang and the deposed Crown Prince to sell for money, only Xie Xian could think of such a rotten idea. He did it thoroughly, and before even deposing a single soldier or palace, the nest had already rebelled.
Emperor Yong Ping looked at him in a different light. He understood that Xie Xian was a bad person. He didn’t attack casually, but when he attacked, he stabbed a knife into your soft spot. Nowadays, he had to ask for his opinion on military and political matters.
If he wanted to quell the chaos, he would definitely be Sikong Xiao.
In the past, he was the Changsheng General during Emperor Yu Heng’s reign, so Emperor Yong Ping’s first battle naturally couldn’t leave him. A person’s name was like a tree’s shadow, and the name Xiao Yun was the enemy s nightmare.
Moreover, didn’t the rebel army say that the new emperor didn’t take the throne properly? Sikong Xiao was Emperor Yuheng’s trusted aide. Bringing him out would be slapping those people in the face and intimidating them.
Sikong Xiao was set to fight, and the next one they had to guard against was Prince Yiyang. They were afraid that he would run back to Jiaozhou to join in the fun and rebel. At this time, they had no choice but to use Xue Jing ‘er.
Xie Xian had strongly recommended this. They had gone to Kuaiji together to quell the rebellion, so he had a certain understanding of Xue Jing ‘er’s ability. Emperor Yong Ping did not disagree with Xie Xian’s words. He nodded his head like pounding garlic. He wished he could pack them up and send them to the battlefield to quell the chaos. In minutes, he would become a peaceful world.
Then, there was the food.
They were busy for most of the night. Emperor Yong Ping simply left everyone in the palace and continued the discussion the next day.
Xie Xian’s face was pale when he returned to the manor, and his eyes were turning green. Xiao Baoxin’s heart ached terribly. He served tea and fed porridge. After the meal, his face was still the same, but his spirit was clearly soaring, and his eyes were almost out of the room.
She had never enjoyed such beautiful service before. It was worth it to be tired.
“The Emperor has sent Father-in-law to set out. He should set off tomorrow morning at the latest.”
Xiao Baoxin immediately placed the teacup on the table and stood up.”Then I’ll go home and take a look at the situation.”
“Father-in-law isn’t in the residence right now and is busy mobilizing troops. Even if you go, you won’t be able to see him.”Xie Xian felt a little sour in his heart. Look, he was so thirsty that his throat was about to smoke. After drinking half a cup of tea, he couldn’t suppress it. Once he heard that his father-in-law was going to go out to war, he didn’t have him in his eyes anymore.
“Don’t worry, father-in-law is quite confident about this.
Xie Xian analyzed for Xiao Baoxin.
“It’s said that King Jin ‘an rebelled. How old is he? How can he make such a big decision? However, some people were afraid of being punished by the new emperor, or they were ambitious to achieve something. They all had their own goals, so they pushed King Jin ‘an, who had royal blood, to the front.” “Whether it’s the chief historian or the other officials around King Jin ‘an, they were all chosen by the Ministry of Personnel. The late emperor didn’t pay much attention to them and couldn’t have personally appointed them. I know what kind of people they are.”
“It’s not that Sikong Xiao is my father-in-law, that’s why I’m bragging. Those people aren’t father-in-law’s match.”
“It’s only a matter of time before we conquer them.
Xie Xian sighed.” In fact, what’s scary is not the rebellious King of Jin ‘an, but those people who haven’t rebelled yet. He was afraid that he would expose their rebellion, and… The Wu Kingdom in the north is eyeing us covetously.”
“The scary thing is that they took advantage of the situation.”
The Wu Kingdom was a nomadic nation. Their people were valiant and had great combat strength. It was not that the Liang and Wu Kingdoms had not fought before. That was more than ten years ago. There were victories and defeats, but the Wu Kingdom had not experienced any turmoil in recent years and its national strength had grown. Given the current situation in Daliang, it was definitely not a good choice to go against the Wu Kingdom.
Xie Xian was naturally confident in a battle that could topple a country. However, it would be difficult for the broken Daliang Kingdom to compete with the Wu Kingdom.
So, you found Zhuge Shu to go to Rouran as an envoy, wanting to use Rouran to contain Wu?”
Xie Xian was stunned for a moment before he realized that his wife had a godly skill. There were many things that he didn’t need to say to know.
This telepathy saved time, effort, and saliva. The heavens indeed favored good-looking people.
Therefore, he gave his wife such a skill and gave him extraordinary wisdom. The corner of Xiao Baoxin’s mouth twitched. At such a critical moment, he should not blow himself up. She was convinced.. Did he have to be so narcissistic?
