Translator: 549690339

Madam Xie’s heart, which had been in her throat, was finally put back into her stomach. The night had made her age by five years, and her eyes had sunken in.

When they heard the good news, they were so excited that they cried.

“You scared me to death…Daughter, you should go and rest. The child can’t take it if you haven’t slept all night.’Madam Xie cried as she asked,” Are you hungry? You haven’t eaten or slept the whole night…” They were all dumbfounded. I knew it. With your father around, there’s no battle that can’t be won!”

Xiao Baoxin smacked his lips. He was still kind and did not expose her mother’s background.

She did not know who was the one who had stayed up until her face turned green. Her hands were clenched so tightly that they were cramping from fear. She kept saying that she should ask her father to send a team of people to escort her out of the city to hide. She even said that if anything happened, she would have a body and leave an heir for the Xie and Xiao families…

She was worried and afraid, but when the news of victory came, it was not her. contemporary romance

However, it was still good news. Xiao Baoxin let out a long sigh of relief. He had finally reversed the ending of his previous life. The Xiao family did not fall.

Relying on Sikong Xiao and Xie Xian, Xin An King had a chance to turn the tables and make a great contribution. At least, he would be able to enjoy endless wealth and glory in Xin An King’s reign.

Actually, this was not what she was pursuing. It was enough to ensure that the Xiao family did not fall and Xie Xian did not die.

Lady Cai didn’t know about the dangers involved, and Second Master Xie didn’t tell her the truth. The Xie family was happy that she and Mother Xie, who didn’t know anything about it, were living a relaxed life. Lady Wang, on the other hand, had mixed feelings. She couldn’t describe what she was feeling.

Fortunately, perhaps.

They all knew that if Empress Wang succeeded, the Wang Clan would rise up and become the number one aristocratic family in Daliang. However, Madam Wang was the daughter-in-law of the Xie family, and the head of the Xie family was on the Xin ‘an Prince’s side. If Empress Wang did not exterminate the Xie family, it would be considered merciful. Although Madam Wang’s surname was also Wang, she had to eat and leave with Third Brother Xie.

However, when the Xin ‘an Prince succeeded, it was another scene. The Xie family’s contribution to the dragon would inevitably lead to promotion. Madam Wang was also a daughter-in-law of the Wang family, but she did not have to be implicated.

According to the law of Daliang, a married woman was not allowed to commit a crime.

Actually, to Madam Wang, it was better for the Xie family than herself.

It was just that the Wang family suffered. Empress Wang killed the emperor and usurped the throne, and the Wang family settled the score together.

Even though Xin ‘an King refused several times, it was only a matter of face. After the fourth time, Xin’ an King gladly agreed.

Although a country could not be without a ruler for a day, after the death of the previous emperor, the new emperor still had to observe filial piety before he ascended the throne. According to the ancestral system, the sun replaced the moon, and he had to observe filial piety for a full 27 days before the coronation ceremony could be held.

However, the country still had to run, so Xin ‘an King exercised all the power of the emperor on the same day. It was just that the official ascension was delayed.

Other than the Ministry of Rites to handle the funeral of the late emperor, the other thing was to clear up the princelings. Empress Wang was deposed as a commoner on the same day, and was sentenced to death by poisoning wine. The prince was deposed as a commoner and sentenced to death with poisoned wine. In addition, Wang Lang had already died in the chaos when the King of Xin ‘an captured the palace. The new emperor ordered his bones to be crushed and ashes to be scattered, so he could not be buried.

All the men of the Wang Clan who were eight years old and above, including the daughters-in-law of the Wang Clan, were sentenced to death by hanging.

The crimes were not as serious as the married women. Excluding them, the remaining Wang family’s young men and women, a total of 20 people, were sentenced to exile and could not be officials for life.

The illustrious aristocratic family, five generations of ten ministers, the Wang family of Langya had completely withdrawn from the stage of history.

The King of Huaiyang, who had fallen with the wind, was not affected. Not only did he retain his title, but he was also granted the title of Grand Protector.

King Jiang Xia wasn’t so lucky. He was trapped in the palace by Empress Wang and had no chance to change sides. Fortunately, he didn’t do anything practical, so King Xin ‘an didn’t pursue the matter. He only kept his title and removed all other official positions, becoming an idle king.

Sikong Xiao and Xie Xian were naturally the ones with the most credit. Sikong Xiao held the military power of the army. Without him, the Xin ‘an King would not have been able to achieve anything, so his official position could not be small.

However, in Emperor Yu Heng’s reign, Sikong Xiao was already a top official and had made great contributions to the new emperor. It would be difficult to give him a title of Xin ‘an King. The county duke was already the highest position among those with different surnames. The new emperor could not give him a title but could only give him the title of Grand Preceptor. Although he was also a first rank official like Sikong, the Grand Preceptor was still the head of the first rank official and the teacher of the emperor. It could be considered as giving Sikong Xiao enough face in name.

If he couldn’t make Sikong Xiao his son, then he would. Xiao Baoshan went from Jingling Prefecture to Jiangzhou Prefecture Governor, East Conquering General, and Dongxing County Marquis. Even Xiao Baoshu was conferred the title of Marquis of Xinyu County.

Xie Xian was naturally one of the most important officials of the new Emperor, and was conferred the title of Minister Zuo Pushe.

A series of rewards flowed like water. Yang Shao was also favored by the King of Xin ‘an because of his meritorious service. He was granted the title of Middle Guard and was in charge of the Royal Forest Guards in the palace. The original position of Wei Wei had always been left vacant, and the Central Guard had actually become the number one person in the Imperial Guards.

Xue Mu was awarded the title of Sikong because of his loyalty and bravery, and his posthumous title was Zhongwu. His 18-year-old son, Xue Quan, was granted the title of Marquis of Wuchang County, General of Feudal Wu, and Governor of Nangun Prefecture.

In Daliang, if one was only given the title of provincial governor, they would not have the power to lead troops without the rank of general. At most, they would be considered a provincial governor with a good reputation.

However, if he was conferred the title of general, he would have the power to lead troops and become a high official.

From this, it could be seen how much he valued Xue Mu.

As for the rest of the people, as long as they were not involved in the palace coup, most of them did not change. It was just that there were originally more than a dozen officials in the Wang family. After the new emperor cleared them, their positions were all vacant. The new emperor ordered the Ministry of Personnel Affairs to select people to fill the positions.

Xie Xian was appointed Minister Zuo Pushe and became the actual Prime Minister of Daliang. He was only below one person and above ten thousand people. The position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was still held by Minister Xu. Emperor Yu Heng had spent a lot of effort to divide the functions of the Ministry of Personnel. After his death, it was restored to its original position.

It wasn’t just the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs. In less than half a month after Emperor Yu Heng’s death, the atmosphere in the court had changed.

As the saying goes, every emperor has his own courtiers, and this was only the beginning.

After the twenty-seventh day of filial piety, the new emperor officially held his coronation ceremony. He was congratulated by all officials and changed the year title to Yongping. The emperor was only fourteen years old.

His mother, Concubine Liu, was granted the title of Empress Gongmin, buried with Emperor Yuheng, and enjoyed the ancestral temple. Princess Xuancheng changed her title to Princess Xuancheng. His younger brother, the Seventeenth King, was appointed King of Yuzhang.

On the first day Emperor Yongping proclaimed himself emperor, the Minister of Rites proposed to marry the Empress. Although the whole country was in mourning, the common people were not allowed to marry within a year, and the officials were set to marry within three months, the Emperor and Empress came together, so they could not have days without months. Therefore, after the election, it was put on the agenda.

Emperor Yong Ping kept his promise and still married Xiao Ning, who was appointed by the late Emperor, as the Empress. The date was set to be three months later.

The ministers were boiling. The emperor couldn’t just have an empress. There were three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. Because of the precedent of Emperor Yu Heng, it was even more impossible for the Emperor to spend his life with the Empress alone. Although Emperor Yu Heng died from the poison of the plebeian Wang family, after the death of Imperial Consort Liu, Emperor Yu Heng had already gone crazy.

With this negative example, when the ministers mentioned consort selection, they were all full of enthusiasm.

Emperor Yong Ping was only a fourteen-year-old young man after all. He could not withstand the surging emotions of the ministers and the advice of the Empress Dowager, so he allowed the petition. Thus, before the Empress entered the palace, the ministers of the aristocratic families had already stuffed the portraits of the young ladies of each family into the hands of the Empress Dowager..
