Time goes back to before half a stick of incense.
Xie Xuan was very dissatisfied when he heard that Wang Mi had returned all the food to the people of Yuanjiang garrison.
Although Xie Xuan would have made the same choice according to the situation at the time, he was still unhappy.
Wang Mi, is this an invitation to buy people's hearts?
Xie Xuan could imagine what the image of the dignified Beifu military commander was in the hearts of the people of Yuanjiang garrison.
And Wang Mi must have been regarded as their great savior because of his active efforts in releasing grain.
I, Lao Xie, offended someone in front of me, but you, Xiao Wang, took the face back and put it on your own face. Is there such a thing in the world?
Humans are not animals that are good at self-reflection. At this moment, Xie Xuan was complaining only about Wang Mi, but he did not remember at all that it was he and Huan Chong who cooperated to dig holes for Wang Mi, which made Xiao Wang behave like this.
Chance.
Huan Chong, the chief culprit who caused the food crisis for the Beifu soldiers, was relegated to second place and could not arouse Xie Xuan's hatred.
However, while Xie Xuan was wandering around the room angrily, a special letter made his mood even more confusing.
"Reporting to the general, the envoy from Jiankang asked to see the general."
Xie Xuan relaxed his shoulders. When he heard the word Jiankang, his expression changed slightly. Is this the messenger from Jiankang? Is he someone sent by the imperial court?
"Please come in quickly!"
Although Xie Xuan never took the court's will to heart, he still had to see the envoys who came from afar.
Not long after, the Jiankang messenger, covered in mud and dusty, appeared in front of Xie Xuan.
The envoy bowed respectfully, and Xie Xuan nodded slightly.
He knew this man as a bodyguard beside Sima Yao. His name was Dong Fuhai. Since he was a bodyguard beside Sima Yao, it meant that what he wanted to convey was Sima Yao's will.
Good guy!
Xie Xuan's spirit was shocked. The Sima family was actually still alive!
Since the last report on the military situation, there was no response from the court for a long time. Xie Xuan thought that Sima Yao was lying flat again, and the battle report once again fell into the dark.
People are a complex of contradictions. If Sima Yao lies flat, Xie Xuan will be unhappy. Sima Yao is diligent, and Xie Xuan will be even less happy.
Several aristocratic families wished that the young emperor would drink himself to death. In their opinion, Sima Yao had sat in the position of emperor for too long. It was really not in line with the tradition of the old Sima family.
It's time to change someone.
"Your Majesty was very excited when he heard that General Xie had won a great victory in Jingling and killed the enemy general. He ordered his subordinates to bring troops and horses to escort a batch of food to help the Beifu soldiers kill the enemy."
"food?"
"You mean food?"
Before the tea cup was placed firmly, Dong Fuhai's words made Xie Xuan's gloomy eyes light up instantly.
Fuhai was surprised, what happened?
General Xie, who has always been calm, has such an expression that he looks like a restless rabbit when he is so excited.
Dong Fuhai wiped his sweat and said hurriedly: "General, it is indeed food. Your Majesty has a decree to reward the Beifu army with 8,000 shi of food. My subordinates will go ahead with 2,000 shi of food."
Dong Fuhai presented Sima Yao's will to him, but Xie Xuan didn't even look at it.
“Where is the food?”
"Take me to see it quickly!"
Xie Xuan left as soon as he said so and had already pulled out his legs. Unexpectedly, Sima Yao, a boy, would actually be able to do things like this. Is he finally enlightened?
Xie Xuan immediately decided not to curse him again this month and let him die early.
The food falling from the sky swept away Xie Xuan's gloomy mood, and his eyes were filled with light. Xie Xuan was very excited, but the envoy refused to move even though he said nothing.
He said awkwardly: "General Xie, the food has not been transported to Yuanjiang garrison yet."
"How can it be!"
Xie Xuan is very floating now, this guy must be lying to me!
"You and everyone are here, but will the food not arrive?"
Dong Fuhai had an epiphany. It seemed that the Beifu army was short of food!
In Xie Xuan's opinion, food was much more important than him, the imperial envoy, and Xie Xuan didn't care at all what Emperor Sima Yao said.
In the eyes of the leaders of several major families, the emperor Sima Yao is just a memorial arch, which can be placed there when needed.
It’s really...sad for an emperor to treat him like this!
Of course, people from the old Sima family would occasionally fake corpses. For example, now, he, who has always been a lover of lying flat, actually distributes food. It is simply a human comedy.
The envoy was very embarrassed: "General Xie, in today's weather, if we forcefully transport the grain, we will definitely get wet, so my subordinates took it upon themselves to park the grain in a small warehouse twenty miles away, and rushed over to report the news.
"
"I don't know, is what my subordinate is doing right?"
Although Xie Xuan hasn't spoken yet, his expression has told Dong Fuhai that I am not happy.
After hearing his words, Xie Xuan's heart instantly went cold.
What did this young man do?
Without food, what's the use of your coming!
"You did the right thing, this is the safest way."
The words were spoken feebly, and at first glance they looked perfunctory.
Dong Fuhai presented a letter written by his superior Sima Yao and sent it to Xie Xuan: "General Xie, please take a look at your Majesty's imperial edict."
Whether you want to read it or not, as a messenger, you have to deliver the letter.
Xie Xuan Ning Shen, your Majesty’s personal letter?
It seems that there should indeed be such a letter.
Since it is an autographed letter from His Majesty the Emperor, it seems unreasonable not to read it.
Xie Xuan snatched the letter and pretended to read it carefully.
Although to Xie Xuan, everything Sima Yao said was equivalent to farts, only food was real.
As expected, the Xie family never cared about the emperor of the Sima family. Dong Fuhai looked at Xie Xuan's series of activities and suddenly felt something in his heart.
However, he won't be offended.
Seeing how the Xie family is in full swing, their power in the court will definitely not weaken within ten years.
Instead of following the precarious Sima family, who only knows how to eat and wait for death, why not take this opportunity to hug the Xie family tightly, which will lead to a bright and prosperous career path.
Although Xie Xuan was not interested in the other contents of the letter at all, he still glanced at it briefly. Despite Sima Yao's boasting, in fact, he was not much different from most emperors of the Sima family.
.
Sima Yao had never set foot in a dangerous and bloody place like the battlefield. He couldn't say anything about things on the battlefield even if he wanted to give advice.
Sima Yao nodded in agreement with all of Xie Xuan's suggestions, which made Xie Xuan very satisfied. Sima Yao performed well this time.
Not only was he able to cooperate with him, he also knew how to take the initiative to prepare food for him. If Sima Yao could be so understanding in the future, Xie Xuan felt that it would be okay for him to be the emperor for a few more years.
In addition, another fact reflected in this letter made Xie Xuan even more happy. If he wanted to give someone a blow, this was enough.
