Not Enough Silver

Everyone knew how biased the Emperor was towards Xiao Jinghan.

When Xiao Jinghan came back from the city, he knocked over the officials he passed by. After returning, he didn't reward them and asked them to think about it at home. There was no other effect.

As for Xie Hongyi, he was directly punished, and his position within the Department might not be preserved.

However, there was nothing he could do about it. Xiao Jinghan's military exploits were too much. In this court battle, only the Duke of Di was able to compete with Xiao Jinghan.

The emperor led Xiao Qinghan to the imperial study. "You talk about yourself. You used to be a mighty General of the War God, who could stop children from crying at night, how did you get bullied by a few troublesome commoners? There's also that Xie Hongyi, his official position isn't even as high as yours, and he already wants to ride on your head. How did you offend the Xie family?"
