My Ferocious Tigress Wife

Chapter 44: Combat Strength

Translator: 549690339

Although Xiao Baoxin had received the blessing of Emperor Yu Heng’s golden words of ‘tiger father, dog daughter’, he did not receive any benefits, and his reputation was still ruined. In the past, if she was said to be arrogant and domineering, some people would say that it was because of the envy and jealousy of the little girls that she had a bad reputation.

However, after the Xiao siblings became famous after the battle, everyone shook their heads when they heard Xiao Baoxin’s name. Anyone who dared to fight on the streets would be said to be beautiful on the outside and intelligent on the inside.

The Yuan family did not break off the engagement even though they were in the middle of this storm. To put it nicely, they valued promises and kept their promises. To put it bluntly, they were just short of scolding him for valuing profits over righteousness and losing the name of the Yuan family’s ancestor.

Those young masters who were beaten up and dismissed from their posts were all good enough to recuperate at home, but they couldn’t afford to lose face. Because of such a small matter- -even something that had nothing to do with them–they lost their official positions. No matter how big their hearts were, they couldn’t take it lightly. However, the number of families involved and the number of young masters involved made them form a rope. After criticizing the Xiao family, they criticized the Yuan family, and after criticizing the Yuan family, they also criticized the Cai family, which was in-laws with the Xiao family.

After a round, the main forces of the aristocratic families aimed at Xie Xian and Pan Shuo, who were passing down the imperial edict.

They couldn’t interfere with the Emperor’s decree, and their own sons weren’t in the right either. However, Xie Xian and Pan Shuo were different, especially Xie Xian. He was simply a traitor who had jumped out of the aristocratic families. He didn’t give them any face at all. When they pressed him down, he would spank their buttocks. The problem was that their buttocks could take it, but their faces couldn’t.

The aristocratic families concentrated their firepower and fired at Pan Shuo.

In their eyes, Pan Shuo was not presentable at all. It would be beneath their status to argue with him.

Xie Xian was different. He was the direct descendant of a top-notch aristocratic family. He represented the Xie clan. The aristocratic families were evenly matched with him, and neither of them would humiliate the other.

This showed the combat power of the aristocratic families. The clean officials who were usually idle and fed mosquitoes were not as busy as the dirty officials. They could not wait to take a short break every three days or a long break every five days. If they were not out to play, they were on the way out to play. Now, they did not play anymore. One by one, they guarded Jiankang and went to court. It was not enough to write memorials to criticize Xie Xian every day. Those who hated going to court the most were all gathered in one hall.

For the sake of Xie Xian, the aristocratic families also went all out and requested Emperor Yu Heng to punish them.

Naturally, the crime could not be to trick the young master of an aristocratic family and beat him up. This was because the main culprit of this matter was actually the emperor. No matter how noble the aristocratic families were, they would not be muddle-headed by accusing the emperor.

Thus, the crime that the aristocratic families had imposed on Xie Xian was great disrespect.

How could Pan Shuo be involved in this disrespectful matter? Why did he have to rush to issue the decree? If he wanted to issue it, then so be it, but he didn’t even know the names of the people who had been dismissed from office. He didn’t even know what their official positions were. The imperial decree was spread out in a nondescript manner.

Xie Xian had no choice but to step forward and issue a supplementary imperial edict, then singled out those who had been dismissed.

Then, the accusation was made.

To be able to pass down the emperor’s imperial edict in such a way, even more casual than a child playing house, where did this put the dignity of the royal family?

The aristocratic families were all excited, but Pan Shuo, the initiator, had made a side dish. This was something that had to be mentioned when impeaching Xie Xian.

Emperor Yu Heng naturally knew that this was caused by that clueless Pan Shuo. Xie Xian was purely cleaning up his mess.

Although the aristocratic families wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to take revenge on him, they had grasped the opportunity well and he was right. Deal with it. Who would be able to help the royal family in the future? If he didn’t deal with it, the aristocratic families would put on airs and fight a protracted war.

One-third of the entire court was dealing with government affairs, and two-thirds of the time was spent denouncing Xie Xian.

Xie Xian was a servant of the Yellow Gate who followed the Emperor in and out of the palace. He was extremely annoyed over the past few days, so he simply claimed that he was ill and did not go to court, staying at home and not coming out.

Emperor Yu Heng secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He had thought that this time, there would be peace for a while, but who knew that the aristocratic families would obtain an initial victory. Their arrogance became even more intense, and they would bite Xie Xian to death without letting go.

Emperor Yu Heng angrily issued an edict to dismiss Xie Xian from his post, and the aristocratic families finally dispelled the hatred in their hearts. They also wrote poems and poems, and those who painted expressed their feelings with poems. They all expressed their disdain and dissatisfaction towards Xie Xian, as if he was the public enemy of the whole country.

For a time, the Xie family was deserted.

After Xie Xian was removed from office, the aristocratic families did not pursue Pan Shuo anymore. Everyone knew that he was a clueless person. It was all thanks to him that Xie Xian was brought down this time. He was a meritorious person who had infiltrated the enemy’s internal ranks. Other than the responsibility of the imperial censor, no one from the aristocratic families pursued him.

However, Emperor Yu Heng couldn’t take it anymore. Just because this stick had implicated his honest and upright Huang Men Lang, he had also dismissed Pan Shuo in a fit of anger.

He had no choice. Facing this fellow every day, his boiling anger would not dissipate for a while.

The shock that Xiao Baoxin had caused in the court had come to an end. If not for the fact that there was only one person who benefited from it.

Yang Shao.

Old Song’s family was used to killing each other. Ever since the founding of the country, there was no one who could sit on the throne without blood on their hands. King Jiang Xia was extravagant by nature and was careless about money like the Yellow River bursting its banks. However, he had always been cautious in serving the emperor and tried to figure out the emperor’s will. He was afraid that if he were to stand on Emperor Epsilon’s face, it would trigger the blood in the old Song family.

Xiao Baoshu’s matter had just started to stir up, and he still thought it was a show to watch. He chuckled and let out a pig’s cry.

The next day, Yang Shao personally came to him to admit his guilt. Only then did he know that the Jiangxia Prince’s Mansion was inexplicably involved in this matter.

Yang Shao’s father worked under King Jiang Xia. When he was young, his father died fighting with King Jiang Xia. His mother raised him alone. When Yang Shao was fourteen years old, he begged King Jiangxia. King Jiangxia took his father’s loyalty into consideration and took him in. Three years ago, King Jiangxia even brought Yang Shao along with him when he led his troops to quell the rebellion.

Yang Shao had killed countless enemies that time and made great contributions. King Jiang Xia promoted him to the Central General Army. He was considered a promising young man.

However, it was actually him. If he didn’t shout, it would be fine. If he shouted, it would scare someone to death.

Xiao Baoshu, a family from a singlele-player family?

Xiao Baoshu was a weak little silkpants who did ridiculous things every day. Who in Jiankang City didn’t know?

The one who challenged the aristocratic families was clearly his subordinate, the Central General!

Prince Jiang Xia was flustered and exasperated as he brought him to Emperor Yu Heng to apologize, afraid that he would tire himself out.

Emperor Yu Heng was someone who loved talent and had long since learned of the events from Xie Xian, so he did not blame Yang Shao. He only picked someone beside him to compete with, and in the end, he won.

If he changed to another one, he would win the second battle.

Another, three consecutive victories.

Emperor Yu Heng watched with great interest and decided to let the three of them attack together, fighting three against one.

This wasn’t glorious for a general, but since the Emperor had given the order, no one dared to disobey. Thus, the three to one ratio resulted in Yang Shao’s four victories, which was a huge stroke of glory in front of Emperor Yu Heng.

Emperor Yu Heng loved to use the common people of the Han family. When he saw that Yang Shao was a martial arts expert, he immediately made a decision to seal him as a general of the straight cabinet, serving as an imperial guard. From a fifth-grade subordinate official of Jiangxia’s Wang Zheng to a third-grade general close to the emperor’s attendant, it was a complete qualitative leap..
