Chapter 929: Should
The Imperial Censor Zhongcheng spoke first, and Minister Xu also supported Xie Xian.
He still remembered that Xie Xian was the victim, not someone he wanted to kill.
Not to mention Pan Shuo, he was really poking at his lungs. He put his hands on his waist and cursed like a shrew. If Emperor Yong Ping had not ordered him to withdraw from court, the farce would have ended in time. The ministers would have been scolded by Pan Shuo. He would have taken the rumors from the various families on the streets and alleys seriously.
It was clearly a passionate and rational fight, but Pan Shuo’s interference was not much better than a fight at the market.
Xie Xian actually did not care about this. After the court session, he wanted to go home. Madam was waiting for him to explain.
In the end, he was stopped by Duo Fu. Emperor Yong Ping said that he had many details that he wanted to verify.
And countermeasures.
He would not allow Liang to suffer such a loss.
If it wasn’t for the dark circles under the eyes of Emperor Yong Ping, Xie Xian really wanted to take the excuse of being sick and go back to his residence to rest, but he couldn’t bear to see the Emperor.
He could finally vent his anger.
Emperor Yong Ping wanted to send someone to assassinate the King of Wu.
However, Xie Xian obviously did not agree.” Yin Qing’s actions are mostly personal grudges. He has an old grudge with me. Back then, it was I who assisted His Majesty in ascending the throne, causing the deposed Crown Prince to suffer a crushing defeat. He was also forced to live in North Wu. Although he was now a servant of North Wu, he had left his hometown and was betrayed by his family. It was not a good thing.”
“As Your Majesty has said, if the King of Wu dies in one strike, the chaos in Northern Wu will naturally be beneficial to Daliang. However, if that was not the case, the news would be leaked, or the assassin would be captured…If that happened, the King of Wu might be enraged and send his army south to attack Daliang. Your Majesty should know that Daliang cannot afford to go to war.”
“It’s not impossible to have a war that can topple a country, and the outcome is unknown, but this is a battle method that will result in both sides suffering.”
“How can I control the situation in Daliang? With Xie Xian dead, there would naturally be someone else to replace him. Daliang was filled with talents, and there were many officials. It’s just that Yin Qing can’t forget his old hatred and wants to use it to get rid of me. Moreover, Yin Qing must be as I thought. Even if I die, Daliang will not go so far as to use all of its strength to fight. However, if it is to attack His Majesty, no matter how worried I am about the chaos of the world and the destruction of the country, I will definitely fight to the death.”
“Yin Qing and I are the same, we play a pivotal role. It would be more exciting if we were here, but without us, it wouldn’t hurt.”
Did Xie Xian really think this way?
Of course not!
He was very important, so he was naturally the most important. Without him, the world would be in chaos, and the little Emperor’s actions would not be far off.
He did not belittle himself and never looked down on himself. He could not say that to Emperor Yong Ping. That was equivalent to raising a ruckus and provoking Emperor Yong Ping’s hidden evil thoughts. Once again, he had the thought of guarding against him.
In the past, the Emperor had guarded against him like a thief, placing him in an important position while scheming to balance him.
Ever since the Emperor began to guard against Yang Shao, he had been putting him in an increasingly important position. Now, he had even promised to be the General of Wei and take charge of the northern and southern armies of Jiankang City. It could be said that he had a grasp of the military and politics.
There was nothing else but Xiao Jing ‘ai and Emperor Yong Ping deliberately dragged him into the water and pulled him to Yang Shao’s side.
In the end, Emperor Yong Ping was defending against Yang Shao, so it was obvious that Xiao Jing ‘ai had pointed out that Yang Shao was the one who usurped the throne, and he was at most a foil or a military adviser.
Therefore, Emperor Yong Ping’s Heart was firmly in his stomach.
Compared to Yang Shao, he didn’t even have any thoughts of disobeying, let alone that he himself was the rightful successor to the throne, personally supported by Xie Xian. The Dragon Throne was a sure thing.
Xie Xian didn’t really hear or see it, but he had a rough estimate.
It was a pity that Xiao Jing ‘ai had wanted to dig a hole for him, but she had failed to sneak in and ended up hurting him instead.
Where did this go?
Xie Xian belittled himself, and Emperor Yong Ping’s heart was warmed.
“Since you say so, then I’ll do as you say. Yin Qing, this thief, must be killed. We can’t let him enjoy glory and wealth! Within a year, I want his head. Bring it to me and I will reward him with ten thousand gold!”
“Your Majesty, the Imperial Court has no money.”
You just opened your mouth and promised ten thousand taels of gold. How easy.
If someone really comes to you with Yin Qing’s head, will you give it to him or not?
If you don’t have money, you can’t even move it out. Do you still have the face of an emperor?
Duo Fu felt embarrassed for their emperor. He didn’t know how expensive rice was. He opened his mouth and asked for ten thousand taels of gold. What? What did he say? Did he get scolded back? Yes!
“.. Then what do you mean by loving me?” Emperor Yong Ping’s face turned red and he asked after a long while.
“How about five thousand taels of silver? Assassins were mostly brave and destitute. This money was enough to create a fatal attraction for them.”Xie Xian said in a deep voice,” This subject and Yin Qing will not rest until one of us is dead. Since he has come for this subject, this subject is in the middle of the trap. Why don’t this subject pay half of the silver?””
The Imperial Capital of Eternal Peace was excited. As expected of the second-in-command general of his family. He really did it for the country and the people. He ate the king’s salary and bore the king’s worries. He knew that I was short of money!
In addition, century-old aristocratic families were really rich.
After answering Emperor Yong Ping correctly, Xie Xian could finally return to the residence. It was already past noon.
Jiankang City was abuzz with rumors of Xie Xian being assassinated. Xiao Baoxin was also afraid that Mother Xie would get angry and attack her heart if she heard the rumors from somewhere. He did not sleep for the entire night. At dawn, he took advantage of the old lady’s daily practice time to go to Yi An Hall and tell Mother Xie the whole story in order to calm her heart.
Mother Xie was no longer in the mood to practice boxing. Just hearing Xiao Baoxin and Liu Yun was not enough to be trusted. She repeatedly asked people to go outside and ask around. Only when there was no news of Xie Xianpang did she feel at ease.
Xiao Baoxin stayed with him until noon when he was too sleepy to take a nap when he returned to Rong An Hall. Then, he heard Xie Xian’s footsteps.
She jumped up from the bed and Xie Xiancai had just lifted the curtain and entered the room.
“You just returned? Did you see Grandmother?” she asked.
“You told Grandmother?””
Xiao Baoxin quickly stepped forward and looked him up and down. He said absent-mindedly,”I was worried that Grandmother would get angry after hearing unreliable news from the side, so I told Grandmother.”
“Are you hurt?” She did not know if it was because her head was dizzy and she did not look carefully, but she did not even notice anything unusual about Liu Yun’s sprained ankle. He walked steadily and was even more orderly than her.
When Xie Xian saw her sleepy eyes, he knew that she must have been so worried that she didn’t sleep last night. He went forward and touched her face. His heart ached for her, and it was written on his face.
Xiao Baoxin was delighted.
“Sleep a little longer. I’ll go see Grandmother first.”
Xiao Baoxin quickly turned around and put on his shoes.”I’ll go with you.” It was as if she did not want to leave him.
Xie Xian smiled and waited for her to tidy up her hair in front of the mirror before pulling her hand and heading to Yi An Hall.
Actually, as long as she saw Xie Xian, Mother Xie would be full of energy again. She didn’t need anyone to persuade her and could eat three bowls of rice.
It couldn’t be helped. Recently, his appetite had increased, and his appetite was already bloated…
