Chapter 529: Can’t Think About It
Translator: 549690339
To say that Xie Pushe lived in the heart of the two of them, it was simply too considerate of the holy will, wasn’t it?!
However, there were some ministers who were both inside and outside the court who had criticized Xie Xian for being young and frivolous, for not being worthy of his position, and for being the only one who was powerful.
In fact, no matter how young Emperor Yong Ping was, he had grown up in front of the late emperor. In the past half a year, he had been taught the art of emperors by the late emperor. Of course, others did not know how much it spread, but Emperor Yong Ping was not stupid. He would not know the consequences of being the only one in power.
But he knew that he was promoted by Xie Xian and Sikong Xiao. Without these two people, he wouldn’t have anything to do with them. This was a great favor.
The credit of following the dragon is bound to be rewarded. Otherwise, not only would he feel bad, he wouldn’t even be able to sit on the dragon throne.
In fact, sitting on the dragon throne did not actually stop. In a few days, war broke out and the world was in chaos.
If it weren’t for Sikong Xiao and his son joining the battle, the generals risking their lives to fight the enemy, and Xie Xian’s planning in the court, he wouldn’t have been able to resist the attack of the King of Guiyang.
Therefore, after Emperor Yong Ping ascended the throne, anyone who had anything to do with the Xie family or the Xiao family would be rewarded. Not only was it to rope in people, but it was also a show for others. He was not ungrateful or mean.
He was an upright emperor, an emperor who had broken away from vulgar interests. His strength did not allow him to keep a low profile, so he had to keep a high profile and favor his subjects.
In his heart, he knew that without Xie Xian and Xiao Sikong, he would never sit on the throne so quietly. However, the intensive training of the late emperor for more than half a year had also made him clearly realize that he really could not let one family dominate…
This was definitely not a good thing for the emperor and his subjects.
Sometimes, it was just that realistic. Either the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, or the west wind overwhelmed the east wind. Power bred ambition, and the ambitious forces interfered with the control of power.
Otherwise, Emperor Yong Ping would not have taken the initiative to issue the imperial edict without discussing it with Xie Xian.
Well, in fact, this was supposed to be his right, but he felt a little guilty when he did it.
But looking at Minister Xie’s reaction, he didn’t seem to be unhappy at all. Instead, he was fully supportive. One look and one could tell that he was a loyal official and a noble young master from an aristocratic family.
Emperor Yong Ping’s heart was about to be placed in his abdomen.
This was the attitude that a proper monarch and minister should have. Besides, Sikong Xiao should not take military power lightly. After the wedding, he had submitted a memorial to the Emperor to resign from his official position. He only said that he had a hair disease during the war and needed to recuperate at home. He was not suitable to lead troops. He even gave up his position as the general of the hussars.
This son-in-law and son-in-law had the intention to retire after accomplishing their tasks, and they treated power like dirt.
However, just because his subjects had done it did not mean that he, the emperor, could do whatever he wanted. Moreover, if he did not use such a loyal and victorious general, who else could he use?
Sikong Xiao was more assured than any of them, and Emperor Yong Ping was uncertain.
He couldn’t resign from his previous position.
Sikong Xiao was determined to decline, and Emperor Yong Ping was also stubborn. As a result, Sikong Xiao’s resignation memorial had been submitted no less than five or six times. This tug-of-war between the monarch and his subjects could be considered to be involved.
In the end, Emperor Yong Ping ran out of his own, so he could only ask Xie Xian to go talk to his father-in-law and give the Emperor some face so that he would not resign.
The Emperor had to spend a lot of time to read the memorials, and it was not good to read them without thinking. It would not be good if he missed an important sentence of this great hero.
Xie Xian knew what the Emperor was thinking. He treated Sikong Xiao as his trusted aide.
Actually, this official had always known that father-in-law had a head wind. When this illness did not act up, it was nothing much. However, when it really acted up, it was fatal. He could not sleep well, and it was as if something was drilling into his head, hurting his mind and body.”
Emperor Yongping:” Then let the Supreme Court of Medicine have a look. Xiao Sikong’s body…” It’s all for Daliang and me.”
“I think we should follow Sikong’s wishes.”Xie Xian smiled,”Sikong is upright and has offended many people in the court.”
“Sikong, this is a loyal minister!” Emperor Yong Ping said. He had seen people who tried their best to add scenes to his father-in-law, but he had never seen someone who could not wait to tear him down.
After confirming with his eyes, he was a son-in-law.
As expected, he was afraid of his wife like a tiger, right?
He didn’t want his wife to be like a tiger with wings. Was he afraid that his father-in-law would support him and that his small body wouldn’t be able to withstand it?
If If
Duo Fu, why did he feel that the Emperor and Pushe’s positions seemed to be reversed?
Xie Xian didn’t mind and continued to smile like a spring breeze.
“I understand Your Majesty’s intentions. I can’t bear to see loyal officials and good generals suffer. However, Si Kong didn’t care about these people with empty reputations. He thought that he had spent half his life in the military and had many illnesses. He might as well take this opportunity to recuperate.” “Sikong is a loyal minister and a good general. Now that the situation is good, Sikong can be considered to have retired after completing his work. He doesn’t want to be talked about by others, nor does he want to monopolize power. Why don’t we fulfill Sikong’s wish and remove the other idle positions. As for the Flying Cavalry General, he will stay. Although the situation is gradually stabilizing, it can’t be said to be completely peaceful. If war breaks out again, he won’t use the unity of the army when he changes generals…”
“Exactly!” Emperor Yong Ping slammed the table. That was what he thought.
It was easy to change people. If a war broke out, should they let that person go or let Sikong Xiao go?
How could that person have Sikong Xiao’s name of constant victory? He had rich battlefield experience and many people were terrified by his name. However, if Sikong Xiao were to fight, what was the point of exchanging? “Then only these two positions will be left. The rest will be removed. It is also His Majesty’s favor. At the same time, he also agreed to Sikong Xiao’s request and didn’t hurt the friendship between the monarch and his subjects.
Emperor Yong Ping nodded after hearing this. This was exactly what he wanted.
“However, the position of General of the Army Guard…
When Xie Xian heard this, he did not comment.
“Forgive me for being blunt, but when the Wang family of the common people attempted to kill the emperor and plotted a rebellion, Sikong Xiao was the general of the army. After he led the army to help His Majesty seize the throne, he was always criticized by everyone. He was also the general of the hussars, so it was inevitable that he would be chosen to be the general. This position was difficult to handle, so it was not impossible for Sikong to remove him.”
“As for the position of general of the army, the one with the highest status will be the general of the army, and the one with the lowest status will be the middle guard.”
“Now that General Yang Jingyun has accepted this position, there is nothing wrong with him continuing to serve as the Central Guard Army.” Every sentence hit Emperor Yong Ping’s heart.”You’re right, dear minister.”
“My dear minister is right.”
“My dear minister… Just listen to my beloved minister.”
After a few rounds, the monarch and his subjects left happily.
Only Duo Fu was a little stunned. The real power of the hussars general was still there, and the title of Sikong Supreme was still there…What exactly did they retreat for?
General of the Guards, to become a middle guard, it was more than a level lower, and then there was no possibility of getting close. So, who said that Yang and Xie were good friends and relatives?
Sure enough, it was still because of Second Lady Xiao’s death.
When Duo Fu saw Xie Xian’s cold gaze before he left, his confusion was like a bucket of ice water that had been poured on his face, chilling his heart. He had thought too much and thought too little. This was not something he should have thought about!
Pushe, I understand!
A shiver woke him up. He shouldn’t think too much. He shouldn’t think too much..
