Emperor Yong Ping would not allow the Xiao family to have two provincial governors. Moreover, they were both provincial governors who led troops and had military power.
Xie Xian knew very well that even if Xiao Baoshu was the Emperor's brother-in-law, it was impossible for the Xiao family to be the sole ruler. The three sons of the Xiao family were all extremely powerful and held one-third of Daliang's military power. If it were him, he would not agree either.
But Sikong Xiao was a different story.
It was just a stopgap measure. They had to defend Xuzhou first. It was impossible for them to stay in Xuzhou forever. That would not be an important position. They would be demoted.
"Sikong Xiao is a general of Daliang who has always been victorious. Before there is a good candidate, why don't we replace Sikong Xiao first and wait for the court to make a decision before replacing him?"
How could Emperor Yong Ping not agree? It was good that he could protect Daliang.
