Chapter 498 - Alone
The Emperor tossed the complaints on the floor of the imperial court.
It looked like he was very angry.
Following that, the Emperor began to criticize them one by one.
Some had their salary deducted, some were demoted. Naturally, the punishment could not be too harsh.
At that moment, the Emperor wanted to promote the Crown Prince's people.
However, looking around, there were not many members on the Crown Prince's team.
The Crown Prince was good at everything, but he did not like to rope in the courtiers. Other than a few old courtiers who knew his intentions, there were not many people who would speak up for the Crown Prince.
Other than the useless officials in the East Palace, the Crown Prince's trusted aides were only his personal guards.
Those guards were initially selected by the Crown Prince from the aristocratic families, so they should have some connections. However, the Crown Prince was too direct, and the guards he selected were mostly marginal figures in the aristocratic families.
As such, the favors that were given to him were useless.
In addition, the Crown Prince had a stubborn temper that he would not tolerate anything…
Over the years, he had often gone out to handle cases. He had handled countless big cases, and at the same time, he had also defeated countless ministers.
Now, these ministers looked at him, and they were all afraid that they would be criticized by the Crown Prince…
If that was the case, who would dare to get close to him?
He had not even become the Emperor yet, and he was already alone...
The Emperor sighed.
He had tried to persuade him many times, but after his son's arm was injured, he did not have any other hobbies. He was always offending people. What else could the Emperor do?
The Emperor was worried. As he was worried, he saw Xie Pinggang.
Then, he was stunned for a moment. Subsequently, a hint of joy appeared on his old face.
Could it be that the Crown Prince... was enlightened?
Was this not his trusted aide? And he was even personally groomed by the Crown Prince himself…
Thus, the Emperor looked at Xie Pinggang as if he was looking at his daughter-in-law. He was thinking about whether he could move this man's position a little higher.
However, he knew the situation of the Zhou family's big crime. His official position could be said to have just been decided. If it was changed so quickly, it would be inappropriate…
The Emperor felt pity.
If he could not be awarded an official position, then he would give him something else. He should let people know that if they followed the Crown Prince, they would win the Emperor's heart. There would be many benefits.
Reward, reward, reward!
Xie Pinggang did not say much. He only briefly described Huang Song's case. However, when he came out of the palace... There were many eunuchs following behind him. They carried the Emperor's rewards all the way back to the Xie Residence.
The news spread very quickly.
Many people in the academy also heard that Xie Pinggang had been rewarded.
Xie Qiao was very popular now. Therefore, when the Emperor's gifts arrived, it did not take long for her cla.s.smates to send her gifts.
There were also some people who were watching and felt jealous at the moment.
Even if they could not befriend this person, they should not offend her. So many people gave her gifts. If they did not interact with each other, if there was any evidence in Xie Pinggang's hands in the future, would it not be a death sentence?!
Thus, on the second day, Xie Qiao received gifts until her hands were sore.
She did not even have time to go to cla.s.s.
The steward was going out of his mind.
"Young Lady, there's finally something in our storeroom!" The steward's tears flowed down his face, "It's a miracle! Miracle!"
Xie Qiao laughed dryly.
Was it really that miserable?
"This old servant has already registered the items. Now that we have received so many gifts, we will have to return the favor in the future. Sigh..." the steward sighed. It would be even better if they kept receiving gifts and did not have to return any.
Fortunately, not every family could give what the Emperor rewarded the first young master. The other people only gave them small gifts.
No matter what, it was a win for their family.
