Chapter 872: Chapter 872-Subduing the Army Without Fighting
Not only did Emperor Yong Ping not feel happy, but he also had a splitting headache. He felt like he was about to explode at any moment.
It was too difficult for him to be the emperor!
As long as there was someone who could not hinder him, there would be someone in the court who could replace Xie Xian or not, even if it could replace half of his ability. In the end, there was none!
Each one was stronger than the last!
If you really have the ability, then use it!
If you don’t have the ability, why don’t you let him find someone capable?
Which was more important, loyalty or filial piety?
In his heart, he hated the Prince of Huaiyang to death. If it wasn’t for his improper thoughts, coveting the throne, being jealous of talents, and making a move on Xie Xian, would he not even have a suitable person now?
Speaking of which, if Prince Huaiyang didn’t do this, King Linchuan would still be obediently lying in Jingzhou as his provincial governor!
###
News of the bloodshed in the royal court quickly spread.
In fact, the bloody rumors were mostly one-sided bombardment, accusations, and complaints from Emperor Yong Ping. The Emperor’s artillery was so strong that there were really not many people who were openly against the Emperor.
But did he agree with what the Emperor said?
Obviously, they didn’t agree.
Who didn’t have the ability?
The emperor’s trust.
He believed in Xie Xian. If Xie Xian farted, even the Emperor would praise him. They said that they could break the heavens, but the emperor did not believe them. Even if it was a peerless plan, it was like farting.
The imperial edict had already been issued, what else could they do?
He couldn’t force the emperor to stand on his head and ask him to send people to retrieve the imperial edict, right?
Moreover, although they were wary of Xie Xian and were indignant that the Emperor favored only one person, Xie Xian’s talent was still obvious to all. Even if they found him an eyesore, they had no choice but to admit that he had real talent and knowledge.
Coincidentally, the world was in chaos. Even if Xie Xian had selfish motives, he would definitely put the Imperial Court and the country first.
Threatening Xie Xian in the Imperial Court was merely a warning to Emperor Yong Ping. Don’t use this as an excuse to seize Xie Xian’s affection again.
It wasn’t easy for the brainless King of Huaiyang to sacrifice himself to pull Xie Xian down. He had risked the lives of his entire family, so he couldn’t let Xie Xian get away with it. After hiding for a while, he rose again.
How many people’s interests would be involved in Xie Xian’s rise? How many good positions would he have to give up to him and his trusted aides?
There was no such thing.
There was a group of people in the imperial court who put their own interests first no matter how chaotic the world was. So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, There was still a group of people…
There was no room for them to rise up in the upper echelons. In any case, they would scold whatever they did not like.
Emperor Yong Ping knew, Xie Xian knew, everyone knew.
It was just a matter of which one wrapped the reason in a more dignified manner and occupied the moral high ground for outsiders.
Xie Xian still kept the storm outside the Xie residence, not interfering or welcoming it.
The only thing that bothered him was that Emperor Yong Ping seemed to have gotten used to it. Every three to five days, regardless of whether there was any news back to Jiankang, he would go to the Xie residence to ask for his opinion.
He really didn’t care and let himself go.
He really didn’t care about him. He didn’t care if the saliva of others was smelly or not. The Emperor only cared about his own comfort and no longer anxious.
However, Xie Xian only silently criticized him.
At least there was someone to relieve his annoyance, and he wasn’t afraid of being overheard.
In fact, it could be seen that Emperor Yong Ping had not been having an easy time these days. His eyes were getting darker and darker, and there was a strange smell in his mouth. He looked like he could not eat well or sleep well, and he had a lot of phlegm. His mental endurance was too low.
Although she believed him, she was actually not confident.
In reality, other than Xie Xian’s daily consolations, there wasn’t any new information that he could analyze and resolve. He could only try to comfort her.
Xie Xian was already a little annoyed after receiving the third round.
Wasn’t this person a coward who was afraid of death and had severe paranoia? Why had he been running out of the palace so frequently recently? Wasn’t he afraid that someone would secretly attack him?
He missed the time when they were both safe and sound, and when the slightest disturbance could suppress the emperor in the palace and he did not dare to stick his head out.
“.. Perhaps there might be a time when victory and defeat would be decided in a single battle, but this kind of thing could only be encountered by chance, so His Majesty should temporarily relax.”Xie Xian had already used the same words to comfort Emperor Yong Ping countless times.
He had remarkable abilities and outstanding talents. He was obliged to give advice, but he was really not good at comforting people.
His Jia Xin looked strong on the outside, but he was even stronger on the inside. He did not need her to comfort him at all. She would even comfort herself at every turn.
The Emperor, ha, how could he ask for his comfort?
He did not have such a skill.
This was already the only bit of kindness that could comfort him after seeing that his foul mouth could not be ignored. She did not have any more.
“God bless Daliang.”
“.. There were also so many talented generals.”
After finally sending Emperor Yong Ping to leave before his mouth was broken, Xie Xian plunged into Xiao Baoxin’s arms to seek comfort.”If it weren’t for the chaos in Jingyong, I really want to take you back to Xiapi to quietly observe your mourning.”
Xiao Baoxin could tell that Emperor Yong Ping’s several visits had almost shut Xie Xian up.
“The emperor is now a frightened bird.” Xiao Baoxin stroked Xie Xian’s head. Look at how the Emperor was frightened. What logic was this to torture her husband every day?
“Why don’t you pretend to be sick next time?”
She was afraid that there would be no more good news from the Jing state, and Emperor Yong Ping would be able to station himself in the Xie residence to snatch her husband.
No one knew what the Emperor was thinking. If he could talk about peace with Xie Xian, then what was the use of having civil and military officials? Did he look good?
If others have it, do you want it too?
Naturally, he had to make the best use of everything and do his job.
Moreover, Xie Xian had said that Daliang was filled with civil and military talents. It was not that Daliang would not change without him.
However, Emperor Yong Ping didn’t know if it was because he had a nestling complex. Xie Xian helped him ascend to the throne, and after that, he had set his sights on Xie Xian. He didn’t listen to anyone, and only Xie Xian entered his heart and eyes…
Of course, this did not stop Emperor Yong Ping from being paranoid. He still had to be on guard against Xie Xian. However, compared to others, he seemed to have a little more trust in Xie Xian.
At least when it came to using his brain, Emperor Yong Ping was quite reliant on Xie Xian.
“Do you believe that if I plead illness, the emperor will also say everything he should say beside my bed?”Xie Xian was helpless.
Wasn’t his comforting words dry enough? He didn’t even sound convincing himself. What was he trying to do by listening to him?
Alright, there was no need for any schemes. Emperor Yong Ping would be annoyed to death if he were to directly subdue the enemy without fighting.
Even Xi Shao had no choice but to submit a memorial to impeach Xie Xian to show fairness, but it still couldn’t stop Emperor Yong Ping’s pace. It was just a minor illness, how could it isolate Emperor Yong Ping?
