Chapter 859: We Can Only Do It!
Sikong Xiao led his troops straight to Jingzhou. In the beginning, he had been polite before resorting to force. He had sent his trusted aides to talk to King Linchuan, afraid that there was some misunderstanding.
Prince Linchuan had treated his trusted aide with good wine and food, but he had made it clear that he was afraid Emperor Yong Ping would find fault with him.
He had killed the deposed Crown Prince before he ascended the throne. After he ascended the throne, the world was in chaos. He had killed all the uncles and brothers who could be killed. It wasn’t easy for the world to be at peace, but now he had killed the Huaiyang Prince who had stood on his side in the Inheritance War, killing every single one of his family.
He was afraid.
Why did he want him to go to Jiankang?
Wouldn’t that mean that he would be the next target?
Sikong Xiao’s trusted aide was not like Sikong Xiao himself. He was a strategist who could talk a living person to death. King Linchuan spoke from the bottom of his heart, pouring out all his thoughts.
The death of Prince Huaiyang was a great shock to Prince Linchuan.
He felt like he was about to explode.
However, the problem was that the King of Huaiyang was not punished by Emperor Yong Ping. That was because he had the intention to rebel. How many people had seen him assassinate the King? Although the premise was that he would be discovered for killing Xie Xian’s mother, in the end, it was the King of Huaiyang who brought about his own destruction.
From the beginning to the end, the counselor explained the facts and reasoned with reason. Finally, King Linchuan was willing to open the city gate to welcome Sikong Xiao into the city.
King Linchuan personally sent the counselor out of the city, but for some reason, he ambushed Sikong Xiao that night.
Fortunately, Sikong Xiao was used to being cautious in battle and had long been prepared. Even so, the two sides were evenly matched and both suffered losses.
King Linchuan went back on his word and took the lead to fall out with the imperial court. Sikong Xiao sent the news back to Jiankang City almost immediately. The new year had just passed, and everyone was in danger. They were afraid that the war with King Linchuan would repeat the previous mistakes and cause chaos in the world.
Emperor Yong Ping sat on the dragon throne and worried every day!
There had never been a day when he could sit back and relax as an emperor!
What Tian Tian feared came true!
Coincidentally, King Huaiyang died, but he didn’t do as he wished. In the end, King Linchuan rebelled again.
– ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— He didn’t care!
What could he do?
Do it!
He could only do it!
Emperor Yong Ping was forced to be tough. He could only be tough.
He immediately gave Sikong Xiao an edict to attack the Jing state and take down King Linchuan, dead or alive.
In fact, he wanted King Linchuan dead.
At this time, both sides could no longer care about what the original reason was. Perhaps it was due to misunderstanding or suspicion.
Now that they were fighting, nothing was important anymore. The imperial court could not tolerate Prince Linchuan who went back on his word. Prince Linchuan also did not dare to serve Emperor Yong Ping, who was going to kill all the descendants of the imperial family.
Emperor Yong Ping had the thought of recalling Xie Xian back. What he did not expect was that this matter had not yet been implemented. Just by making a move during the court meeting, it had attracted a voice of opposition that covered the sky and earth.
Led by the Minister of Justice Yang Fengming, the crowd was in turmoil.
Even Xu Erlang, who had taken over the position of Minister of Personnel, was firmly opposed.
Of course, there was a reason. There was a rebellion. Sikong Xiao had already gone with his elite soldiers. What could Xie Xian do when he got up? Kill the enemy on the battlefield?
Since ancient times, it had always been the duty of generals to wear armor and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. It was unheard of for civil officials to not allow people to mourn and be filial.
He asked Yang Shao for his opinion.
“I believe Sikong Xiao has the ability to quell the rebellion. When Sikong Xiao took the initiative to volunteer, he must have had enough confidence. I think, why don’t Your Majesty wait for Sikong Xiao’s good news?”
Sikong Xiao had asked to fight and snatched his job, Yang Shao was still angry.
“What do you think, Minister Xie?” Emperor Yongping asked Xie Qing again.
“Eldest Brother is extremely filial. Auntie’s death was a huge blow to him, so he went to Xiapi to mourn.””If Your Majesty needs it, of course, with a single order, Eldest Brother will definitely come to help.” Xie Qing muttered.”
It was as if he had not said anything. Emperor Yong Ping looked at Xie Qing with a playful gaze.
Xie Qing didn’t even raise her eyes,”It’s just that this humble subject thinks that it’s not the time to endanger our lives.” There were Yang Shangshu, Xu Shangshu and Chu Jianjun in Wen Dynasty, Xiao Sikong, Yang Hujun and Xue Lingjun in Wu Dynasty. His Majesty has many talented people around him. The rebellion of King Linchuan is truly a struggle on the verge of death. I believe that Sikong Xiao will be able to quell the rebellion in a few days.”
“Your Majesty, I am deeply honored that you value my eldest brother.”
“It’s just that it’s always been the generals who seize love. It’s unheard of for civil officials to seize love…The most important thing now is to unite and fight against King Linchuan. Your Majesty really doesn’t need to be distracted by this. As long as His Majesty needs it, I believe that my elder brother will come back at any time.”
It was clear that it was not feasible now.
Emperor Yong Ping nodded, his momentary excitement suppressed.
At the same time, he also knew that these people, including Xie Qing and Yang Shao, weren’t happy to see Xie Xian rise again.
In the future, after Xie Xian’s mourning period expired and he was reinstated, each of them would probably have to make a note in their hearts.

Mother Xie didn’t let anyone pass on any of these bad things to Xie Xian, including Xie Ning and Jiang Qian. It was as if these things didn’t happen.
Mother Xie’s thoughts were all on Xiao Baoxin.
Her pregnancy was getting bigger and bigger, and her stomach was dropping rapidly.
Mother Xie saw Xiao Baoxin every day, but she was still frightened every time she saw him. She had never seen such a big belly before.
Xiao Baoxin had not slept well after six months. No matter how she slept, she felt uncomfortable. She had to wake up at least four or five times at night, and she was exhausted.
Giving birth was too torturous. In the future, even if it was dangerous to drink the child-prevention soup, she had to give it a try.
At most, he could just drink some other Chinese medicine to make up for it.
Xiao Baoxin had already made up his mind.
The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng ran over excitedly with Dingbang in her arms after the confinement. Her face was full of pride and her entire body was proud. She was showing off to Xiao Baoxin.”In the future, I want to have two daughters and two sons. It’s best if I can have two at once like a big lady. It’s so worry-free and effortless.”
Looking at Dingbang’s small face, she could not tell how much it resembled Xiao Baoshu.
It was true that she was a pretty doll.
After hearing what the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng said, Xiao Baoxin was so angry that his stomach hurt.
What was there to save? What was there to save? It was double the suffering she had experienced in her previous two lives. It was torture.
This was what a gluttonous man did not know when a hungry man was hungry.
Now she was walking, sitting, lying, and still, and her waist hurt!
“Hiss…”
“Hiss…”
The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng hugged Dingbang and retreated in horror. Her cat eyes were wide open.”Big lady, what’s wrong? Was he that hot-tempered? His face was green, and the tendons on his neck were bulging.
“Me!” Xiao Baoxin held his stomach, his face twisted.”Maybe…It’s going to be born!”
