My Ferocious Tigress Wife

Chapter 922:-Egging

Empress Xiao finally sent him away and couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

The Emperor could only take advantage of Princess Lujiang who had no one to back her up. The Zhou clan was far away in Jiangzhou. Concubine Zhou in the harem fell ill before the New Year. The Emperor did his best to treat her, but it only lasted for less than two months. She died in March.

At that time, Xuzhou was in chaos. No one paid attention to him. He left quietly and simply held a funeral.

Princess Lujiang had lost her mother and had completely let herself go. She dared to talk back to the emperor.

.. Or is there someone behind her urging her to stay behind?

Empress Xiao called over her trusted maid,””Go and find out who Princess Lujiang is close to recently.”

Of course, it was useless to find out. Princess Lujiang dared to fall out with her today. If the emperor did not respond, she would dare to say anything in private.

In any case, the Emperor did not do this properly.

When she was trying to win over the hearts of the people, she didn’t know which brain of hers had gone crazy, but she was wary of Yang Shao again.

She didn’t know what she was saying, but that Yang Shao, other than marrying an unknown and helpless princess, had no background or power. He was a good target to be roped in and promoted.

Emperor Yong Ping guarded against such a request like a thief.

Other than scolding her for being petty, she didn’t know what else to say.

If this continued, sooner or later, he would be the one who would bring disaster to the country and the people!

In the end, Emperor Yong Ping didn’t stop the surging public sentiment. He also listened to Empress Xiao’s analysis. He was afraid that even if Yang Shao didn’t rebel, he would be forced to rebel by the guesses below.

He didn’t expect Princess Lujiang to have such courage.

Although he had agreed to let her choose to go to Yunjing Prefecture, he felt an inexplicable sense of disgust in his heart. He felt that his prestige had been violated.

However, he had no choice but to do what he had to do on the surface. He gave Princess Lujiang a lot of face and rewarded her with a lot of gold and silver. He also sent 500 guards to escort her to Jingzhou like Madam Xie.

Although Princess Lujiang was cursing in her heart, what the empress did was not human. Otherwise, she would not have been detained in Jiankang for almost two years.

However, the steps had been handed over, and she had also paid a lot of money. She was also willing to take the opportunity to make the steps beautiful. She thanked the empress for her care and left happily.

However, before he left, he sincerely gave Celestial Empress a good reputation and praised her in all directions. Basically, he had invited all the famous people. It could be considered that he had organized a farewell banquet for himself in order to put gold on Celestial Empress ‘face.

She wanted to express her loyalty to the Yang family and her gratitude.

Actually, who didn’t know who?

They watched the royal family make their appearances one by one and take turns to act.

As the mourning period for the Xu, Xi, and Chu families passed, the heads and descendants of the families were all reinstated. The original Minister Yang of the Ministry of Works was old and sick every few days. Later, he simply handed in his resignation. Emperor Yong Ping thought of the Xu family’s master and took over the position of Minister of Works.

Yang Fengming did not make any mistakes during his time as the Minister of Justice, so Emperor Yong Ping was not very satisfied.

The third generation eldest son of the Xi family, who had always been a criminal law family, took over. Yang Fengming was transferred to the central army general.

And the young Xi, who had taken over the position of Old Xi and then resigned due to the funeral, was reinstated.

On this basis, Emperor Yongping promoted Zhong Jia Dalang to the position of Censor Zhongcheng.

The situation in Daliang changed in a year, making people overwhelmed.

Also, because the rebellion of King Jin ‘an caused chaos in the world, Emperor Yongping granted meritorious officials to win over the hearts of the people, and most of the official positions were complicated. The battle of Northern Wu had dealt a heavy blow to Daliang.

Now was the time to recuperate, so Xie Xian ordered the imperial court to reduce the monthly salary of officials at all levels by one-third, cancel the official positions of Crown Prince’s servant, Grand Secretary, and Chief of the Court, and greatly reduce the number of people.

The North Wu army surged forward, killing people everywhere. The war disaster spread to several states, and the state capitals were ordered to relieve the victims.

The imperial court would lend seeds to the people and supervise the production. As for the refugees who had fled to the Yangtze River and Huai River because of the war, the imperial court allowed them to stay in the area and exempt them from taxes for three years.

Once the policies were introduced, the people were very grateful. However, the reactions of the court and the aristocratic families were different. They had some thoughts about Xie Xian and were turbulent. Many people who impeached Xie Xian used him to be nepotism and formed cliques to attack him.

Xie Xian was unmoved and said whatever he wanted. At the end of the year, he sent people to move thousands of refugees to other places.

Emperor Yong Ping watched as Xie Xian gave the orders. In fact, he was not confident in his heart. He was afraid that he would rebound and cause the people of Daliang to be dissatisfied with the court. Fortunately, be it raiders or unrest, everything was under control.

Although the transfer of officials had caused dissatisfaction among many officials in the court, it was beneficial to the court in the long run.

If Xie Xian offended someone, Emperor Ning would inevitably win the hearts of the people. The Emperor himself and Empress Xiao would also gather the ministers and wives of other families at every festival to create a lively atmosphere and win over the hearts of the people.

Xiao Baoxin was not willing to join in the fun, but Xie Xian’s status was there. If she did not go, more than 18,000 rumors would spread everywhere. Therefore, he had to attend six or seven out of ten times.

Not only did he attend, but he was always in the most prominent position.

Not to mention other things, Xiao Baoxin still enjoyed the envious and hateful gazes of everyone.

If you can make others jealous, don’t make others pity you. At least she had the capital to make others jealous.

Although Empress Xiao was gradually distancing herself from Xiao Baoxin and was no longer as intimate as before, she still treated Xiao Baoxin with considerable courtesy on the surface and was even more intimate.

Xiao Baoxin could endure this, but he was disgusted by Empress Xiao who would pull her hand and express goodwill.

So be it if she wanted to be friendly, as long as she didn’t criticize her in her heart. While she was saying good things, she was secretly hating her for having both children and her husband not dying…

This was a little vicious.

“Madam Xiao doesn’t look too good.”Jiang Xia Princess Consort suddenly said.

The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng looked over in confusion. Sure enough, she said,””So ugly.”

Xiao Baoxin was speechless. Whatever he didn’t like to hear the most, Xuan Cheng’s mouth could say anything.

In this life, she would never be associated with the word ‘ugly’.

” I’m fine.” Xiao Baoxin smiled gently and pulled back his hand.”Just now, the Empress’s hand was a little too heavy, pinching me a little.”

“Yo, as expected, they’re all famous.” Imperial Concubine Chu covered her mouth with her handkerchief and laughed.” No matter how unhappy Your Highness is, it’s better to endure it. Otherwise, even Xie Pushe will be annoyed.””

Jiang Xia Princess Consort lowered her eyes and smiled.

Empress Xiao was so angry that her eyes turned red.

“I’m not unhappy. Imperial Consort, it’s better to be careful with your words and actions.”Empress Xiao had a dignified and kind appearance when she was dealing with the outside woman, but she had the bearing of the mistress of the main palace when dealing with Noble Consort Chu. She had a sacred and inviolable face.
