The young general Wu Bing of the rebellion calmed down the military chaos of King Xiao Ji of Yiyang, making Xiao Heng very happy.
Xiao Heng rewarded Wu Bing heavily and promoted Wu Bing to General of Guard.
In addition, the Prime Minister Fang Shixian, who recommended Wu Bing to make contributions, also received rewards from Xiao Heng. In addition, this time, Xiao Ji, the King of Yiyang, set off an army to rebel, even if the other princes were dissatisfied, they would not move their troops for the time being, which would serve as a deterrent effect.
Making Xiao Heng more satisfied.
So Prime Minister Fang Shixian and Shixian, the Minister of the Inspector Deng Xian, have become Xiao Heng's most trusted confidant without realizing it.
Fang Shixian also took this opportunity to start cultivating his wings in the court. In addition to the Guanglu Dafu Fan Qing, the one who had advised Fan Qing to impeach Fang Shixian before was demoted to him for various reasons!
But Xiao Heng knew nothing about these things.
Those memorials that advised Xiao Heng were either stopped by Fang Shixian or by Shizhong Deng Xian.
The civil and military officials did not dare to speak easily, but some ministers were discouraged and finally understood why Han Yunzhi resigned and began to resign from Xiao Heng one after another.
Xiao Heng did not agree to the resignation of the ministers, but ordered the attendant Deng Xian to come forward and comfort the resigned ministers.
However, the resigned ministers will temporarily give up their plans to resign, and another spy came to report to Changsha King Xiao Lingyue and was about to move in his fiefdom.
The famous family, headed by the Xie family of Chen County and the Wang family of Langya, went to Xiao Jingyao's fiefdom, Luoyang, because they were not valued by Xiao Heng. Luoyang was even more lively than the capital imperial capital for a while.
When Xiao Heng learned the news, it was already late winter and the palace began to prepare for the New Year.
The atmosphere in the Political Consultative Hall was a bit solemn.
"You said the King of Luoyang is trying to win people's hearts, and plans to be like King of Yiyang, waiting for an opportunity to turn back?" Xiao Heng put down the hot tea that was still steaming in his hand and asked in a deep voice.
"That's right!" Prime Minister Fang Shixian nodded and said loudly, "Now King Yiyang has been killed. The King of Luoyang has a heavy army, and has received support from many gentry. If he does not get rid of it for a day, he will definitely have the intention to rebel in the future.
I hope the emperor will make a decision early to eliminate the great troubles of Luoyang King!”
"Your Majesty, never..." Before Xiao Heng could answer, Guanglu Doctor Fan Qing retorted loudly: "The King of Luoyang fought for the emperor in his early years, and his military achievements were great. He was loved by the people and admired by the soldiers in the army!
If the King of Luoyang is eliminated, the people of the world will only think that the emperor cannot tolerate good talents and brave generals. Please think twice!”
Xiao Heng's face was gloomy and he couldn't make up his mind for a moment!
Fang Shixian frowned slightly. This Guanglu doctor Fan Qing always had a disagreement with him! If the emperor had not trusted Fan Qing, he would have found an excuse to demote Fan Qing!
"Emperor, as the saying goes, the great achievements are great. It is precisely because the King of Luoyang has made military achievements that he does not take the imperial power seriously. In addition, he has heavy troops, so it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be able to stand up for one day..."
Before Fang Shixian could finish his words, Fan Qing sneered and interrupted him: "Mr. Fang, the King of Luoyang has always been polite and polite, and it is also the emperor's right-hand man. Can you see that the King of Luoyang has taken the imperial power seriously?"
Fang Shixian was speechless by Fan Qing for a moment. In desperation, he had a sudden inspiration and quickly retorted: "The emperor has traveled from famous families and promoted poor families, but the King of Luoyang ignored the saint's intentions and not only got close to the Wang family of Langya and Xie family of Chenjun,
He also accepted many aristocratic children who defected to Luoyang. Isn’t this ignoring the imperial power?”
