"I don't think a hero can be judged by his success or failure."

Xu Zongwen's publicity of Huan Wen's achievements in public was naturally not as simple as speaking for Huan Wen or rescuing Huan Xuan.

When Xu Zongwen mentions his military exploits, he is showing off himself in disguise.

Wasn’t Great Sima Huanwen very powerful back then?

Destroyed Shu and recovered Yizhou.

Isn’t Great Sima Huanwen’s Northern Expedition powerful?

Recover the old capital Luoyang, march into Chang'an, and make Qin tremble!

Isn’t Great Sima Huanwen great?

Fangtou lost to Murong Chui in the first battle, and lost again and again, and the Northern Expedition failed...

Where is Xu Xiao and Xu Zongwen?

He took the head of Yangping Gong Fu Rong, killed Donghai Governor Li Yan, defeated Pingnan General Zhang Ju, captured Qingzhou Governor Fu Lang, Pingyuan Company Ma Hui, shot the town army general Mao Dang, and Yan King Murong Chui's

The fourth son Murong Bao, the sixth son Murong Lin, etc.

Captured the East China Sea and Pengcheng, recovered Xuzhou, pacified Qingzhou in the first battle at Linzi, moved to the Central Plains, went to Dingtao, attacked Luoyang, attacked Yongqiu, defeated Xingyang, captured Dangyin, fought at Dunqiu, and defeated the troops of Qin and Yan.

Hundreds of thousands, and they have recovered dozens of counties and hundreds of cities!

Such achievements are only much more than those of Great Sima Huanwen, only stronger but not weaker!

Therefore, you should weigh the weight of me, Xu Zongwen, in your own hearts!

Xu Zongwen's sentence "You can't judge a hero based on his immediate success or failure" moved Huan Xuan so much. In Xu Zongwen's sight, this kid was wiping away tears!

Not only Huanxuan, but also those of the Xie family of Chen County headed by Xie An who had been on the battlefield or were leading troops all had a deep understanding of this. Indeed, victory or defeat is a common occurrence for military strategists.

Xu Zongwen continued: "Not to mention Great Sima's military exploits, but just the same, no one here can match him!"

As soon as this statement came out, there was a lot of discussion everywhere.

Sima Daozi, the king of Kuaiji, looked very unhappy. He asked: "What achievement is it? Tell me quickly. If you can't tell me how ugly you are today, I will impeach you!"

Originally, Sima Daozi wanted to speak harshly, but Xu Zongwen had military power in his hands and was still a general with the title of general, so he could not kill him. He could only find loopholes in his words first, and then look for opportunities to deal with him.

Xu Zongwen cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, may I ask where your Majesty's current position comes from?"

Where does the position of emperor come from?

This is a simple question that should not be too simple. Of course, it is also a very fatal question!

"The current position of His Majesty was naturally inherited from the late emperor. Is it possible that you, Xu Xiao, still have doubts about His Majesty's throne?" Sima Daozi thought he had finally caught Xu Zongwen's handle, and began to feel proud, but little did he know that he had finally grasped Xu Zongwen's handle.

This is just digging a hole for himself!

"Your Majesty's current position was inherited from the late emperor. Your Majesty is right, what you said is very good and very right!"

Xu Zongwen's affirmation confused everyone at the table. No one knew what Xu Zongwen's purpose was in bringing up this sensitive topic.

Xu Zongwen asked Sima Daozi again in front of everyone: "But Your Majesty, how did the late emperor get his throne and where did it come from?"

"Wow——"

The entire audience fell silent, even the musicians stopped playing, and the dancing singer slowly retreated at Xie An's signal. All irrelevant people were cleared out...

The former emperor's temple name was Taizong, his posthumous title was Emperor Jianwen, the youngest son of Emperor Sima Rui of the Yuan Dynasty, half-brother of Emperor Sima Shao of the Ming Dynasty, and his mother was Zheng Achun, the Empress Dowager Jianwenxuan.

Sima Yu served as an official in the Yuan, Ming, Cheng, Kang, Mu, Ai, and deposed seven dynasties, and was granted the title of King Langxie.

During the reign of Emperor Mu, he served as Tuogu's auxiliary minister. After the failure of the last Northern Expedition, Grand Sima Huanwen asked his confidant Xi Chao for advice.

Xi Chao suggested that Huan Wen follow the example of Yi Yin and Huo Guang and depose the emperor in order to restore authority.

Huan Wen then decided to depose Emperor Sima Yi and replace him with Sima Yu, the king of Langya. This is the origin of the late emperor Jian Wen.

In fact, Xie An was already somewhat aware of it as soon as Xu Zongwen proposed the throne. Xu Zongwen deliberately used Sima Daozi's words to elicit the fact that the late emperor ascended the throne.

Xu Zongwen started to ask questions, and Sima Daozi had already reacted, but it was too late!

Where did your title as King of Kuaiji come from?

How did your brother, His Majesty the current Emperor, get the throne?

How did your biological father, the late Emperor Jian Wen, get the throne?

Others don’t know, but your own family, don’t you, Sima Daozi, have a clue?

It is said among the people that eating people has short mouths and taking people with short hands. It is better for you as a royal family. With the benefit of Huan Wen, you became a direct lineage from a side branch and succeeded to the throne. It was all because of the rebellious ministers and traitors in your mouth!

Now it's okay to not be grateful to others, but to scold their dead father in front of his son. This is really not something a human being can do!

"The late Great Sima Huanwen, who was deposed until his death, surpassed Yihuo in his merits, and was the greatest meritorious official in this dynasty!"

"As the saying goes, rumors stop only for the wise. Although there are divergent opinions from the outside world, it is more up to you, the king, to rectify Da Sima's name, so as to set the record straight and quell the rumors. Do you think so?"

Faced with the question about Xu Zongwen's death, Sima Daozi swallowed his saliva and was mostly awake from the drunkenness. He was already covered in cold sweat from shock!

Sima Daozi stood up unsteadily with the support of his guards, and saluted Xu Zongwen and Huan Xuan in the distance: "Today, I was rude and I made a mistake!"

"Don't dare, your Majesty's words are serious!" Huan Xuan fell to the ground again.

Xu Zongwen bowed and went back to the table. Sima Daozi sat down, drank a bottle of wine vigorously, and cast a sidelong glance at Xu Zongwen secretly, with a lot of anger accumulating in his heart.

Seeing that even the current emperor's brother, King Sima Daozi of Kuaiji, was defeated in front of Xu Zongwen, everyone at the table couldn't help but take a few more glances at the newly promoted general who conquered the north.

Xie An's brothers and nephews finished toasting each other, and Xie An stood up with the wine: "Okay, okay, let's not mention the past anymore. Today is my birthday. I wasted my time for sixty-five years. Thank you all for coming to my humble home today.

I’m very grateful to wish you a happy birthday. I would like to offer you a bottle again, please!”

"Congratulations to the Grand Master!" Hundreds of people stood up at the same time, and everyone said in unison.

Xie An's face was full of joy and he laughed and said: "Please feel free to do so!"

As soon as everyone sat down, Xu Zongwen heard Xi Jian say something, and Xie An sent someone to summon Xu Zongwen to come to him.

Xu Zongwen left the table and took his seat, everyone looked at him sideways.

"It seems that General Zhengbei has a close relationship with Taifu!"

"More than that! Didn't you see that General Zhengbei just spoke for Duke Nan?"

"So General Zhengbei is not only related to the Xie family, but also has friendship with the Huan family?"

"Of course. The Taifu is close to General Zhengbei, and His Majesty has a favorable eye for General Zhengbei. It seems that General Zhengbei has a bright future!"

"That was. During the Northern Expedition, the governor was in charge of the overall situation. The three governors divided their troops into three groups to attack the violent Qin Dynasty. Among them, they conquered the city and occupied the largest area, defeated the largest number of enemy troops, and captured the largest number of prisoners. It was the general who conquered the north.

, can your Majesty and the Grand Tutor not value such a good general of the country?"
