Chapter 396: Lost

King Jiang Xia would not go against the Eldest Princess before everything was clear.
At the very least, he couldn’t be a pawn before the Emperor had spoken.
If anyone were to go against the Eldest Princess, it could only be Emperor Yong Ping. If the two of them were to sit together and talk things out, he would be a despicable person if he were to be a little tough at this time.
The Eldest Princess was almost seventy to eighty years old. If word got out, he would be a sinner.
After Prince Jiang Xia appeased the Eldest Princess, he turned around and went back to the palace to explain to Emperor Yong Ping. It was their business to strangle him however they wanted. He was just following orders.
“.. The Eldest Princess wanted to come to the palace and speak to the Emperor personally, but Minister Xu persuaded her.”
Jiang Xia Prince relayed the Eldest Princess ‘words to Emperor Yong Ping without missing a single word. Emperor Yong Ping’s lungs almost exploded from anger.
In his opinion, the Eldest Princess was already old and had begun to smooth things over.
What kind of person was Princess Anji? She was worthy of her protection.
Would the Eldest Princess also jump out and want to pay with her life if she killed someone one day?
“What does Granduncle mean?” he asked.
King Jiang Xia knew that he couldn’t avoid it, so he braced himself and said,”” An Ji Princess is not worth mentioning to outsiders. If you arrest her, then arrest her. If you punish her, then punish her. It’s just that the Eldest Princess is already old. I’m afraid that she will use forceful methods. If the Eldest Princess’s body is not good or bad, it will not be beneficial to the Emperor’s reputation…”
“First, the Sixth Lady Xu passed away, and the Eldest Princess’s body was not in good condition. Then, the late Emperor passed away and was bedridden for a long time.”
“Then it seems that Princess Anji is still very reputable. She actually managed to trouble the Eldest Princess like this.”Emperor Yong Ping sneered.
He was angry.
He also knew that it was not easy to deal with the Eldest Princess. If the Eldest Princess really died, wouldn’t the rebel soldiers put all the sh * t on their heads?
When he encountered difficulties, Emperor Yong Ping thought of Xie Xian.
However, this matter concerned his ‘beloved wife’.
This lowly wife was someone that even I couldn’t bear to say a word about. Of course, it wasn’t known whether it was because I couldn’t bear to or because I didn’t dare to. No matter what the reason was, Xie Xian wouldn’t have an easy time.
If it was someone else’s matter, he could still let Xie Xian make the decision for him. However, it was related to Xiao Baoxin. If Xie Xian could raise his saber, he would have rushed forward first.
Worry.
With Xie Xian from the Xie Clan and the Imperial Censor from the Xiao Clan, who was in charge of supervising the officials, even if he, the Emperor, wanted to be kind, he couldn’t. He was afraid of chilling the hearts of loyal officials and good generals.
“Granduncle, I’ll leave this matter to you. I only trust you.”Emperor Yongping made a gesture of digging out his heart and lungs. “Moreover, only Granduncle has this ability.”
King Jiang Xia, I believe you!
He was smiling on the surface, but he was already cursing in his heart. It was no wonder that Emperor Yu Heng had taken a fancy to Xiao Liuzi inheriting the throne. Father and son were both black-hearted and thick-skinned.
If she didn’t need it, she would just throw it aside. If she needed it, she would just trust him.
She only trusted him and even stripped him of all his official positions.
He called Zong Zheng verbally, but the appointment edict never came down.
“I’ve been so busy recently that I didn’t have time to take care of Granduncle. Actually, Granduncle was loyal to the late emperor. It was just that the war had been going on for so long, and he had to let his granduncle rest first.”
Emperor Yong Ping pondered for a while. Although he was only fourteen years old, Prince Jiang Xia did not dare to underestimate him.
“At that time…”
“Let’s not talk about this since we’re family. I also know that the Wang family is cruel and merciless. Even General Xue Mu, who is highly skilled in martial arts, was shot to death by random arrows, let alone Granduncle, who is unarmed. To put it bluntly, if it were me, I would also inevitably give in.”
These words struck a chord in Prince Jiang Xia’s heart.
He didn’t dare to underestimate this young emperor. He was really good at reading people’s minds, and every word he said convinced people.
“This old minister has let down the previous emperor…” Tears streamed down her face as she knelt on the ground. She didn’t even dare to call herself granduncle and kept calling herself an old minister. The emperor could dig his heart and lungs out to his subjects to show his closeness, but his subjects would never do such a thing.
Why don’t you open your mouth and call him grandnephew?
Even if he didn’t scold you on the spot, he had to remember it in his heart. How could an Emperor be the same as an ordinary grandnephew of a Great Shaman?
“This old minister is also thinking of surrendering to the snake. I will first get through that stage and then plan for the future…The late Emperor had always trusted this old minister. If I knew that the Wang family had personally poisoned the late Emperor, I would never have surrendered to that poisonous woman even if I had to risk my old life…”
Jiang Xia’s Old Wang was in tears. What did he rely on to live for more than fifty years?
It was just that his acting skills were passable. He almost believed it himself.
Emperor Yong Ping sighed and quickly helped Prince Jiang Xia up.
“If you want to blame someone, blame the Wang family’s poisonous woman. If it wasn’t for her black-hearted killing the previous emperor, why would there be today’s chaos?”It was true.
His hatred was real. He wanted nothing more than to suck her blood and eat her flesh. The Song Empire of Daliang was in good condition, but she, a woman, had caused it to be riddled with holes.
If you don’t punish them severely, I’m afraid it will chill the hearts of the people in the world. It was enough for the people to suffer from the war, but the royal family ignored the law and dared to ride their horses and commit crimes under the feet of the emperor in Jiankang City. If they did not punish small crimes, it would definitely lead to disaster.”
Prince Jiang Xia knew clearly what the Emperor meant by mentioning Xie Xian at this time. Xie Xian was the root of the problem.
He knew that the Emperor valued Xie Xian, but he did not expect that the Emperor would have to look at Xie Xian’s opinion even on such a matter. In the end, he had still underestimated Xie Xian’s ability.
“Actually, the Eldest Princess doesn’t have to protect Angie. She also agrees to punish her severely, but… Stay in Jiankang.”
He had already made it clear enough. The problem was whether the emperor could take a step back.
“It’s a war right now. Sending Angie out of the city is no doubt suicide. It might even be worse than death. The Eldest Princess had always protected the Song bloodline…He couldn’t bear to see Angie end up like this.”
He didn’t say anything else about the Xie family’s power being so high that even a princess had to retreat.
At this time, the Emperor was still thinking about the Xie family’s reaction. If he said too much, the matter would be stuck in the middle and he would be the one in trouble. The emperor would definitely not step forward. The only person who could be pushed out by him rightfully was him, right?
“This matter concerns Xie Pushe, so this old minister should also ask Xie Pushe for his opinion. If both sides can agree, that would be best.”
“This old minister thinks that Xie Pushe must also be clear about the situation in the world. Angie must have done something wrong, but she didn’t deserve to die.”
Emperor Yong Ping actually approved of it. Anyway, it was fine as long as it did not appear in front of him. Now, he was not in the mood to deal with this old grudge. However, Xie Xian was clearly different. Princess Anji had always been targeting Xiao Baoxin. With his personality, he might not necessarily approve of kindness.
“Thank you, Granduncle.”
“Huh?” Jiang Xia King was stunned. Even if they were in a situation like this, he had to step in and mediate.
He finally understood that it wasn’t easy to call him Granduncle. The Emperor pushed the blame on Liu Erwu. Whether the matter succeeded or not was his fault.
The Emperor had clearly said to Xie Xian that he would clear the way, and that was already considered respect. In the end, the Emperor still did not step forward and made him lick his old face to discuss with Xie Xian…Wasn’t this too much respect for Xie Xian?
Did the Emperor have to be so weak? King Jiang Xia glanced at Emperor Yong Ping without leaving a trace. So, was this a scandal?
He was lost..
