After Xi Shao, the other official positions in Jing and Yong states were also assigned by Emperor Yong Ping, and many lesser families were promoted.

It wasn’t that Emperor Yong Ping didn’t want to use the aristocratic families. The Xu family, Xi family, and Chu family had several families in mourning, and some aristocratic families had long been destroyed by Xie Xian.

Naturally, the efforts of several generations of emperors had finally paid off with Emperor Yong Ping. There was no need for him to revive some aristocratic families.

If it was destroyed, so be it.

There was no reason for the previous emperors ‘decades of hard work to be ignited by him again.

The Minister of Official Personnel Affairs was Xu Erlang. He wanted to seek benefits for his family. However, his elders were still mourning for the Eldest Princess of Kuaiji. Among the younger generation, only two were still presentable. However, they were younger and were ten years older than him.

Being born in an aristocratic family, the relationship between in-laws was complicated. A few aristocratic families had married their daughters, and there were also daughters who married into their family.

There was a clear barrier between the clans. Xu Jiro naturally wanted to seek benefits for his own clan. There were many aristocratic families mixed in the candidates for the emperor.

Now that the aristocratic families had withered, there were very few outstanding ones.

This was contrary to Emperor Yong Ping’s wishes. The monarch and his subjects clashed several times, but in the end, Xu Erlang compromised.

He had that intention, but he couldn’t resist Emperor Yong Ping’s rise in power after he flew into a rage at the court meeting because of Xie Xian. Moreover, Sikong Xiao had defeated Wu. The Emperor’s aura was extremely powerful, and he was somewhat domineering.

Xu Erlang’s family had always been pointing at the Eldest Princess of Kuaiji. However, now that she was dead, he was the only one who was going to be an official. No one responded, and he did not want to fall out with Emperor Yong Ping.

Therefore, he took it in while he was ahead. Emperor Yong Ping was not ruthless and left a few for him.

In this imperial edict, there was one person who was especially eye-catching.

That person was the North Wu General, Pingnan General, Wang Zulong, who was personally recommended by Sikong Xiao. Emperor Yong Ping was also generous and directly conferred the title of Zhenbei General, YuePrefecture Governor, Zhenyang County Duke.

The key to deciding the outcome of this battle with Northern Wu was this person.

First, he defected to Sikong Xiao and secretly agreed that he would open up a gap for Yang Shao to lead his troops in and burn the grain of North Wu. Sikong Xiao took advantage of the chaos to launch a sneak attack.

Ancestral Dragon Wang was afraid of the wind when he walked. Other than a few trusted aides, his subordinates did not make a sound. They were afraid that the wind would leak.

In this battle, he did not hurt a single soldier. The pursuers ran away when they came. He did not help Sikong Xiao. It was best that they were tired of running and all raised their hands to surrender. There was no other way. After all, his subordinates were all from North Wu. The King of North Wu was the one who personally led the expedition. It was still quite difficult to instigate the entire army to rebel. Emperor Yong Ping did not know what historical background this Ancestral Dragon Wang had, but he actually rebelled like this.

Although it was inconceivable, it was still beneficial to Liang. It would be better if there were more of such people in the future, so he was generous with his rewards.

It was also to set an example for the North Wu to learn from in the future. Daliang welcomes you.

Although the war with Northern Wu ended with Daliang’s victory, Daliang was not unscathed and paid a considerable price.

The first was the tens of thousands of soldiers and generals who had died, and this was only the loss of personnel. The subsequent compensation from the imperial court would also have to keep up. After several months, the supply of grain was unimpeded, but only a few people in the Ministry of Revenue, including the Emperor, knew that the national treasury was empty.

When King Linchuan rebelled, the first thing Emperor Yong Ping did after his death was to send people to raid his house. Fortunately, King Linchuan was rich, so he could more or less make up for the compensation of the fallen soldiers. He also had a small income in the national treasury.

Although Liang had won, there was still a lot of work to be done.

At the very least, Yongjing and Jingzhou had a lot of things to do. They still had to wait for the officials sent by the imperial court to take office one after another. Yongjing and Jingzhou would resume production, and Sikong Xiao could return to the court in an orderly manner.

Out of the 48,000 elite soldiers that Yang Shao had brought to Jing Zhou, there were only slightly more than 40,000 left. All of them stayed in Jing Zhou with him.

As for the local Jingzhou garrison, one-third of them were left behind, while the remaining two-thirds were left behind. The 30,000 troops followed the vanguard troops led by King Jiangxia and Xiao Baoshu, totaling more than 60,000 people, and returned to Jiankang in a mighty manner.

By the time Xiao Baoshu returned to the capital, it was already early September. It was the Double Ninth Festival.

However, the atmosphere in Jiankang City had been at war year after year. The longest period of rest was less than a year, and that was not counting the bandits who occupied the mountains from all over the country. They were like dog skin plaster that could not be shaken off.

The people in Jiankang City really did not have the mood to celebrate.

Xiao Baoxin received the news three days before they entered the city. There was no need to think that it was impossible for Xiao Baoshu to write a letter to inform his family. Xie Xian had heard it from the gossipy Emperor.

It was rare for this Emperor to come out of the palace without a big battle. He was probably too excited and wanted Xie Xian to pour a basin of cold water on him to wake his brain up.

However, when he heard Xie Xian say it, Xiao Baoxin was not in the mood to do so. He listened absent-mindedly. The twins had caught a cold. Although the nanny and the maid were busy taking care of them, they were still flesh that had fallen from his body. His heart was in his throat.

She had never experienced this before.

Xie Yan was an old soul, and he was quite concerned about his health. His body was indeed very strong, and Xie Qi was the same as his brother, never falling sick since young.

The only time he coughed twice was when he drank a small dose of medicine. He was still listless in the morning, but in the afternoon, he was energetic again.

This was the first time her daughter had fallen ill, and there were only two of them at once. Xiao Baoxin was already in a terrible state. The young ladies had been sick for a few days, and she had been following them for a few days.

It was not until the morning of Xiao Baoshu’s return to Jiankang that the twins finally recovered. They were no longer crying and snot at the same time, and they were much more energetic.

Mother Xie had been sending Haitang over to check on her for the past few days, and she was also worried. However, the child was too young to use medicine, so she was worried for nothing. The old lady did not eat for a few days and got angry.

It must be said that the twins had grown even more after their confinement. Their eyebrows and eyes were like paintings, and they had perfectly inherited Xiao Baoxin’s looks. Because they were children with chubby faces, the more people looked at them, the more they liked them.

The twins were different from Xie Qi. They cried easily. The twins loved to smile and would smile at anyone.

When the child recovered, both Xiao Baoxin and Mother Xie were relieved.

The next day, Xiao Baoxin and Xie Xian’s mother reported back, and the two of them brought Xie Yan and Xie Qi straight to Sikong Manor. The twins had just recovered from their illness, so they stayed in the residence.

When Xiao Baoshu received the news, he immediately went out to welcome him. The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng had finally expected her husband to come home. She did not want to be separated from him for even a moment. She followed Xiao Baoshu back to the manor like a tail. Even when she went to the toilet, she followed closely behind.

He looked very flattered.

Xiao Baoxin glanced at the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng. This person’s eyes were glued to his younger brother and could not be pulled out.

“Your injuries have healed?” Xiao Baoxin sized up Xiao Baoshu.
