My Ferocious Tigress Wife

Chapter 550: Overestimated

Translator: 549690339 1

Rouran had always known that Daliang regarded themselves as the ruler of the Central Plains, a country of etiquette and civilization. They despised them for being foreign barbarians who did not follow enlightenment. He was probably afraid that Daliang would burn the bridge after crossing the river and not admit to the past after solving the urgent problem.

That was why there was such a great fanfare, and the number of people who went on the diplomatic mission had reached a rare 200.

In the past, Rouran had a good relationship with Daliang, and they would send 30 to 50 people.

The two hundred people were so mighty that they were afraid that others did not know.

However, since Rouran was not afraid of Northern Wu knowing, Daliang was even less afraid.

Emperor Yong Ping stayed behind to discuss the matter of the Rouran diplomatic mission with Xie Xian.

In the past, he was afraid of being exposed, but now that Zhuge Fu and his son had succeeded, there was no need to hide it. It was time to announce it to the world as a form of commendation.”Xie Xian said with a smile.

Emperor Yong Ping nodded repeatedly.

“Thanks to Pushe’s plan, we were able to resolve the crisis of Daliang. I, also thanks to the support of Pushe, otherwise how can I have today’s status?” “A just cause enjoys abundant support, while an unjust cause has little support. The common people Wang and the deposed prince killed the king to plot rebellion, it is everyone can kill them. Your Majesty is the successor appointed by the late emperor, the son chosen by heaven, the kind-hearted, the wind of the late emperor, the liver of the minister, and the earth, but I dare not slack off.”

After praising the previous emperor, Emperor Yong Ping felt as if he had secretly eaten two catties of honey.

Xie Xian was not a crafty official with a honey-tongued mouth but a sword in his heart. He was a straightforward official and had always spoken his mind. He also had the demeanor of a young master from an aristocratic family and rarely flattered the Emperor. Therefore, it was especially rare for such words to come out of his mouth. Emperor Yong Ping took them seriously.

“Daliang is not where it is today because of me. It is because of the unity of the emperor and his subjects, and the countless soldiers who risked their lives to protect him.”

“The diplomatic mission to Rouran was only a strategy for me, but the greatest credit for convincing Rouran to stand on the same side as Daliang and be willing to serve as pawns was always Zhuge Fu and his son.”

“That’s right. My dear minister, what position do you think I should confer upon you after your return?”

Xie Xian muttered,

“Before today, the world thought that he had escaped and surrendered to the rebel army. Now that the truth was out, he wasn’t afraid of what others said Why don’t the emperor ask the ministers to work together and give a plan?” In the matter, he was naturally talking about Zhuge Fu.

It was Zhuge Fu’s position before he was sent to Rouran.

Previously, Zhuge Fu had been removed from his post by the Emperor, so Xie Xian did not address him as an official.

After that, the Emperor addressed Zhuge Fu as his beloved minister, confirming Zhuge Fu’s identity as an official. Xie Xian addressed him as his previous position, not to restore his position.

When Emperor Yong Ping heard this, his eyes formed a smile. Clearly, he was extremely satisfied with Xie Xian’s suggestion.

“You are right. You have made contributions to the dragon. I can’t help but rely

on you too much sometimes. I want to hear your opinion first.”

Xie Xian only smiled and said nothing.

“Then, I will discuss it with the officials again tomorrow morning.”

After a pause, Emperor Yong Ping hesitated and said,”But… The princess chosen for Roman’s marriage had a cold a few days ago and died.” The so-called princess was merely a palace maid who was selected from the harem to be educated and beautiful. She was given the title of princess and married in place of the real princess of Daliang.

No one would have thought that the Princess would die two days before the news of the Rouran diplomatic mission came.

“Then we’ll choose a princess with both virtue and truth.”

Xie Xian did not understand why Emperor Yong Ping would ask him about this matter.

They did not want him to control the major affairs of the court, but they wanted to ask him about the trivial matters of the harem and find him some work to show that he was ‘in power’?

Xie Xian found it a little funny.

It was an exaggeration to say that Emperor Yong Ping had the style of the previous emperor. However, he had only learned a little. In the end, he was a young emperor in his teens and was not as cunning as the previous emperor. After all, he had experienced very little.

That was true. But if Rouran found out that she wasn’t the real princess, would she fly into a rage out of humiliation?”

Xie Xianmo, he had never thought of using a fake princess. The real or fake princess actually had nothing to do with him.

Although Princess Xuancheng was on good terms with Xiao Baoxin, she was Emperor Yong Ping’s sister from the same mother, so it was not her turn. As for the others, who did Xie Xian know?

It was Emperor Yong Ping who had come up with this idea. Now that he thought about it, he did not know who had made the plan and let the Emperor listen.

Now, she didn’t know why, but she had come back to her senses. Or was she afraid of being exposed again?

“If the emperor wants to, there should be a suitable princess in the palace?”Xie Xian asked.

Emperor Yong Ping:” I’m just afraid that once I expose it, it will affect my relationship with Rouran. If Rouran and Beiwu form an alliance and target Dahang…” It was not that he had never considered marrying a real princess, but other than Xuancheng, there were only princesses of appropriate age in Lujiang.

Rather than using Lujiang to form an alliance with Rouran, he was more willing to give Lujiang to Yang Shao.

Yang Shao was his trusted aide. What this marriage brought him was far more important than marrying Rouran.

However, he was also afraid that Rouran would turn hostile.

Xie Xian secretly sighed.

-How could Rouran be interested in our Daliang Princess? It was just the many benefits that he had promised Rouran. The princess was the icing on the cake When the benefits came, there was the matter of marrying the princess on behalf of the princess. Both of them knew this very well. Moreover, the substitute princess was also on the royal jade archive, so there was’not much difference between her and the princess.”

What she meant was that Rouran really didn’t pay much attention to your royal bloodline.

After explaining all the conflicts of interest to the Emperor, Xie Xian bowed and left.

As for the other possibility, which was to let the daughter of the imperial clan marry on behalf of him, Xie Xian didn’t even bother to mention it.

If the emperor was unwilling to marry his sister to the barbarians, would the other imperial clans be willing?

He had already offended the aristocratic families, and now he had offended the entire imperial clan…

Did the Emperor really think that he, Xie Xian, was a fool?

The river hadn’t even crossed yet, yet they were already destroying the bridge.

They weren’t afraid of drowning themselves.

He could overthrow Empress Wang, pacify the chaos in Jiankang, strategize, and win a battle thousands of miles away. The Emperor actually thought that he could not see through this little trick.

He had overestimated the little Emperor.

Walking out of the palace, Xie Xian was blocked by Tingwei Xi. Tingwei Xi sat

in the ox cart and lifted the curtain to smile at him.

“Xie Pushe, are you interested in tasting tea with me?”

Xie Xian didn’t decline and got into the carriage.

Tingwei Xi, who had been rumored to have no future, was full of energy and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s.

“I wanted to go to Xi Mansion to meet the chief justice today; I didn’t expect that the chief justice would be here first.”

“The one who was rude was my Little Twelve.” Chief Xi smiled. “To be able to cause a ruckin the main hall, Pushe ordered this old man…Refreshing? He really couldn’t find any other words.

When Xuan Hui did things, people always couldn’t figure out the context.”

“This matter is fair and square. The secular world was complicated, and he really didn’t have the energy to settle cases for them. He was also afraid that it would damage the friendship between the Xi and Xie families for generations.” “Yan Dong was born in a Humble Class and is not among us, so he is relatively objective..”
