Chapter 958 Xu Xing Meets the New Emperor

Royal study room.

Although he was an old acquaintance of Xie Yuzhang and had seen him at his most embarrassed, Xu Xing knelt and performed great courtesy when he met the emperor, without a trace of negligence or disdain.

Emperor Ping Zhao quickly asked him to stand up, knowing that he was seriously injured while rescuing Xiao Hengshan, and immediately gave him a seat.

Xu Xing was frightened, then he thanked him.

Emperor Ping Zhao insisted that he sit down, then he sighed, "The late emperor trusted and relied on you, but I'm afraid he didn't expect that this trip to Yuzhou Prefecture would be so dangerous, causing Lord Xiao to lose his life there."

Xu Xing nodded and listened silently.

"I have always believed that Concubine Chun was a kind person. Who would have thought that she and her father Li Yunchang would be so ruthless and turn Yuzhou Prefecture into a living hell, making the common people suffer and making their lives worse than death."

"If you hadn't gone to Jinzhou Prefecture and found evidence of the Li family's outrageous crimes, and if you hadn't done great work in Yuzhou Prefecture and found out the truth, the Xie family's kingdom... I'm afraid it would have belonged to the Li family sooner or later."

Speaking of Li Yunchang, Emperor Ping Zhao became furious!

It's not just Li Yunchang, but the entire Li family, who rely on Concubine Chun and the Eighth Prince to act arrogantly and domineeringly, not taking the royal family seriously at all.

Although Emperor Ping Zhao was very angry, he was also very grateful to Emperor Suwen in his heart for putting the cleanup of the Li family on the agenda before his death, allowing him to pick up such a big piece of pie for free after he ascended the throne.

Eradicate the Li family and clean up the officialdom of Yuzhou Prefecture. All officials in the court and common people will remember him, not the late emperor.

This was his first shot in making a name for himself by ridding the people of harm since he ascended the throne!

Which emperor doesn't want to achieve great things and be recorded in history for future generations to admire?

Xie Yuzhang was also a mortal. Since he had sat on the throne, he did not want to be written by historians as a mediocre king.

"When will those traitors from Yuzhou Prefecture be able to return to the capital?"

After sighing for a while, Emperor Ping Zhao finally changed the topic to the criminals and their families who were escorted back to the capital for trial.

Xu Xing quickly replied, "It has been raining all the way from Yuzhou Prefecture to Kyoto. The road is muddy and slippery, making it extremely difficult to travel. It took me nearly half a month to travel alone. Jing Lei and his men are escorting a large army, so the journey is even slower. I estimate that it will take at most a month, and at most a month and a half."

The number of people is huge, and the number of situations is unimaginable.

Anyway, those corrupt officials in Yuzhou Prefecture have been brought down and liquidated, the new officials sent by the Ministry of Personnel have arrived one after another, and with the Duke of Weiguo in charge of the overall situation, Emperor Ping Zhao is not particularly anxious.

However, according to reports from the Ministry of Justice, Li Yunchang's condition is not good and he is not expected to last long.

"In that case, you should put these matters on hold for now. Once Chuba and Jiahe's marriage is completed, you can help me share my worries."

When talking about his marriage with Jiang Hao, Xu Xing's face finally showed a change.

"Sir, obey the order."

Emperor Ping Zhao nodded and said, "I also feel sorry for Xiao Hengshan's misfortune. The position of Dali Temple Minister is vacant. After much thought, I think no one is more suitable for this position than you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xing looked at Emperor Ping Zhao and began to understand what he meant.

I'm afraid it's not because he thinks there is no one more suitable than him, but after learning that Xiao Hengshan died in Yuzhou Prefecture, he deliberately kept this position for him until now, waiting for him to come back.

If this is true, then if Jiang Hao had not been engaged to him, and there had been no marriage, would she not have been just a "princess" at all?

When Xu Xing thought of this, he felt even more sorry for Jiang Hao, because she had been wronged for his future.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your grace."
