When he brought the culprit to Emperor Yu Heng, his eyes almost fell out of their sockets. He had never expected this.
One of them was Wang Jian, the assistant minister of the Hall of Governmental Affairs, the other was He Zhun, and the last was Sikong. They started fighting in public. To put it more accurately, one of them was being beaten up.
One of his molars had fallen out, and the front of his face was stained with blood. The other half of his face had been scratched on the ground.
Emperor Yu Heng was truly convinced. At this moment, he could actually tell that Sikong Xiao was showing mercy. If they really used their abilities on the battlefield, would these two still be alive?
“Which one of you can tell me, what is the reason?”Emperor Yu Heng slapped his forehead. He had a headache, a terrible headache.
Beating up an official was a big crime, but it wasn’t even written in the law.
Far away, I don’t know and can’t say it; Those who were close to Sikong Xiao didn’t like to get involved in this matter. They could see that Sikong Xiao had a bad temper and couldn’t be easily provoked. He also had the Emperor’s protection. Didn’t they see that the Emperor was still pretending to be the grand master of the court and trying the case? If there was any sympathy, they should quickly call the imperial physician to take a look.
Sikong Xiao was kneeling on the ground with his back straight. Why couldn’t he say those words when he had hit someone, let alone say it from his mouth?
As for the two who were beaten up, they kept crying out, but the reason was really unspeakable. It was one thing to be caught ripping off his wife’s tongue, but they also knew that such words should not be said when they were in a human’s body. They could not accuse someone’s daughter of being innocent without any evidence.
Not to mention that he was being disrespectful in front of the Emperor.
“You won’t say anything?”
Emperor Yu Heng sat firmly. There was definitely an inside story. It must be those two who had been beaten up who were in the wrong. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have remained silent after being beaten up to cover up for the perpetrator.
However, they couldn’t just let it go without checking. If word got out, where would the royal family’s dignity be? The war had reached their royal family’s doorstep.
Right at this moment, Xie Xian suddenly stepped out and bowed to the ground.
“Reporting to the emperor, this matter is this lowly official’s fault. Yesterday, my wife was pregnant, so I couldn’t help but show some joy today. In the eyes of people with ulterior motives, it became a mistake. Therefore, they talked about me behind my back. Their words were extremely vulgar, so my father-in-law accidentally beat up the two assistant ministers in a moment of panic. In the end, it was my fault. I hope the emperor can forgive Sikong Xiao’s love for his son-in-law…I’m willing to bear all the responsibility.”
Emperor Yu Heng was surprised.
“My dear wife is pregnant. This is a joyous occasion!”
Wei Desheng rolled his eyes. Emperor, did you pay attention to the wrong thing?
“Is that what Minister Xie said?” Emperor Yu Heng suddenly asked in a low voice.
Wang Jian and He Zhun looked at each other and didn’t dare to answer. They were afraid that Sikong Xiao’s family scandal would be exposed in public and expose his old background. They followed Sikong Xiao’s lead. Seeing that he had no objections, they only agreed in a muffled voice.
They had no choice. They had to respond to whatever Xie Xian said. This was better than pulling the Madam’s innocence. The Xie family couldn’t afford to lose this person, and they couldn’t afford to lose either.
They regretted it so much that they had been beaten up for nothing. They blamed themselves for having a cheap mouth and didn’t expect the walls to have ears, allowing the main father to hear it.
Since the person involved had already admitted it, Emperor Yu Heng could not pursue the matter any further. However, he could also see that there were many twists and turns in this matter, and it was definitely not as simple as Xie Xian had said.
However, Xie Xian stepped out at the right time. Otherwise, if he didn’t open his mouth to ask anyone, he would have left him hanging on the spot.
Emperor Yuheng punished a few people on the spot in front of all the courtiers. Wang Jian and He Zhun did not cultivate their morals, and their private morals were unbearable, so they were dismissed from office. Sikong Xiao was fined a year’s salary for fighting in court, and he was removed from his position as Sikong.
As for Xie Xian, he has a relationship with you, so he should just go and stay there. He wasn’t affected at all.
Although both sides had been dismissed, the Emperor’s bias towards Sikong Xiao was obvious to all. The main reason was that Wang Jian and He Zhun had been dismissed from their posts to the end, while Sikong Xiao was holding several posts. Sikong was just a nominal but not real power, and was just for show.
The position of Sikong was removed, but he was still the general of the hussars. That was the real power in his hands.
One of them had been dismissed from office, and the other had been dismissed for nothing.
He let the eunuchs carry the two injured people away, and they continued the court meeting. It was just that the officials and ministers in this fight had no interest in court affairs at all. It was only when the court session ended that Emperor Yuheng remembered that he had personally recommended Xiao Huang to Jiankang. When he saw his face, oh, if his daughter took after his father’s face that could not be found in a pile of people, it would not be easy.
“It’s rare for you to come back, dear minister. Today, we have a good chat.”After the court session ended, Emperor Yu Heng left Xiao Huang alone and entertained him with good wine and food.
During this period, they talked about the local customs, people’s livelihood, and military affairs. In the end, Emperor Yu Heng could not help but ask about the cause of Sikong Xiao’s fight.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Huang said,
“I don’t know. I don’t have the heart to make friends with the important officials of the court, so I stay far away from thenVHe knew what the emperor was afraid of.
It was just that he knew, but it was a little rude to say it out loud. Emperor Yu Heng’s expression did not look good as he recalled why he was not pleased with the arrival of this Provincial Governor Xiao in the past. With his stinky and stubborn temperament, nothing that came out of his mouth was pleasant to the ear.
Even if the emperor was wise, he would feel that it was a sarcastic tone.
Of course, Xiao Huang had never said this before.
If a daughter took after her father, her personality would really be worrying. Emperor Epsilon was a straight talker, and Xiao Huang was definitely loyal. It was just that he was too stubborn and did not know how to be flexible. The stone in the latrine pit.
If he didn’t know, then he didn’t know. Would it kill him to talk nicely?
“Zhen’s princess Xuancheng is about the same age as your daughter. In a few days, you might as well enter the palace to accompany Xuancheng. Xuancheng had just lost its aunt and was also lonely. The two little ladies would definitely have the same interests when they were together.”
After sending Xiao Huang away, Emperor Yu Heng summoned the eunuchs for questioning.
At that time, he had thought that the Crown Prince was forcing the palace to rebel, so he did not ask further.
There was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. It wasn’t that no one heard the vulgarities that the two assistant ministers said. It was just that they didn’t like to be involved in gossip and brought their words to the table.
What happened in the palace, how could it be hidden from the eunuchs?
When Emperor Yu Heng asked, he told him everything in detail.
After hearing this, Emperor Epsilon admired the physiques of Xie Xian and Xiao Baoxin. If they didn’t provoke them, trouble would come naturally. Even being pregnant could cause a tragedy, and the ministers fought all the way to Taiji Palace.
However, even a father wouldn’t be able to take what Wang Jian and He Zhun had said, let alone Sikong Xiao, who was a general with a bad temper. If it was his daughter, he would rob that person’s entire family!
“Sikong Xiao has been wronged.” He sighed.
Well, even his official position was still a formal address. It seemed that it was not bad to be able to recover overnight. As Wei Desheng had expected, Sikong Xiao was reinstated in less than three days.
This could be considered the fastest time to be reinstated in the Daliang Dynasty.
Apart from the fatuous Emperor of the previous dynasty who got drunk and dismissed the Prime Minister, he was restored to his original position the next morning and promoted to another position as compensation.
The Wang family and the He family did not dare to make a move. Emperor Epsilon must have known the inside story and was giving Sikong Xiao face. Furthermore, he was the Emperor’s trusted aide and could not be provoked.
Just based on this incident, the Xiao family’s reputation rose, thus laying the foundation for the Xiao family to officially enter the elite sect.
On the other hand, because of the fight in front of Taiji Palace, the news of
Xiao Baoxin’s pregnancy had spread like wildfire in Jiankang City..
