Chapter 483: The first-class nobility belongs to Xie Xuan
What the few people discussed just now was to bring forward the first-class reward recipients individually to discuss the specific operations.
But after all, Liu Yu didn't get the reward he deserved, not to mention Wang Mi, the biggest contributor.
Set aside.
Obviously, after such discussion, Liu Yu and Wang Mi must not be the first-class heroes.
Then who else could be the number one hero of the Xiangyang victory?
Look above, look below, look around, only Xie Xuan is left!
If Xiangyang, an important military town, could be captured in one battle, it cannot be said that everyone in Beifu had no contribution.
Regarding the Jingzhou soldiers, the court's attitude has always been laissez-faire, and some rewards will be given, but the operation of promotion of officers and nobles is usually automatically ignored.
As for those Jingzhou soldiers, being able to give them freedom and let them develop is already a favor given to them by the imperial court.
No matter how much trouble they make in Jingzhou, the imperial court is also thinking about it now. Even if the Huan family of Qiaojun breaks the sky in Jingzhou, as long as they keep the sky above Jiankang City, Sima Yao will turn a blind eye.
Close one eye and pretend not to know at all.
Not only did they let it go, but the court also relied heavily on Huan's arbitrary behavior.
You see, the quality of the copper coins produced by their coin-forging furnace in Jingzhou is much better than that of the coins produced by the Jin Dynasty.
Nowadays, Jiankang City is almost full of people carrying money, and the passage is unimpeded. It is indispensable for daily expenses and merchant trade.
Wait a moment!
Did our Jin Dynasty ever mint money in recent decades?
It seems like I haven't done this activity for a long time.
With the Jingzhou Department continuously sending all kinds of new money to Jiangzuo, the imperial court's expenses were greatly saved.
Why not?
Jingzhou soldiers need money and people, and they can also generate income for the court. The key is that although their power in Jiangzuo can be considered very strong, they cannot escape from Jiangzuo and stand on their own. To put it bluntly, in Jiangzuo, as long as
The Beifu soldiers are enough to compete with the Jingzhou soldiers.
After decades of hard work, the Jin Dynasty had reached a consensus that the Jingzhou soldiers were just restless, but they really couldn't do anything earth-shattering.
Xie An saw clearly that the imperial court had always had a passive and supportive attitude towards the generals of the Jingzhou army.
We won’t give them too many rewards, so who should the remaining rewards be given to?
Who can I thank you for?
"Then what Mr. Xie means is..."
All matters related to the rewards for the Battle of Xiangyang will be left to Xie Anshi, and I will just issue the decree.
Just when Wang Gong was about to resist, Sima Yao's words suddenly popped into his mind, and he suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball, losing all energy.
I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it!
In the end, this old man actually got around him!
Xi Hui and Wang Mi, two brothers in distress, now only sigh softly and blame each other.
How could there be such a strange thing in the world?
Two extremely smart heads combined, still can't beat an old man like Xie An!
"The title of Champion General does not need to be changed, but Xie Youdu can be given the power to oversee the Chinese and foreign military affairs."
what's that?
are you crazy?
This old man must be crazy!
Xie An threw a bolt from the blue and stood up with a smile: "This is what I mean. You two don't have to worry. You can have a good discussion here."
"I'm going to rest for a while first."
After saying that he was going to rest, Xie An actually went to rest. He walked around the cloud and thunder pattern screen in the main hall and walked towards the back house with a leisurely pace.
He never came back, at least for a while, Xie An didn't plan to come back.
"quick!"
"Come here quickly and put them all on the table!"
The two brothers were still in a daze, but the main hall was already lively. After Xie An left, a few boys ran in not long after Xie An left.
Some were carrying long tables, some were carrying plates, and some were even holding wine jars.
"What are you doing?"
It's getting worse and worse!
After everything was laid out, Wang Gong took a closer look and saw a small banquet in front of him.
"Of course I'm treating these two distinguished guests to dinner!" Xie Ning, the little book boy, spoke eloquently, quite like a child pretending to be an adult.
Wang Gong all laughed.
"We are here to discuss military and state affairs, why should we stay for dinner?"
Still eating!
Who can eat this?
Commander-in-Chief of all military affairs at home and abroad!
For such a powerful position, Xie An actually waved his hand and said it easily from his wrinkled mouth!
No matter it was Wang Gong, who pretended to be calm, or Xi Hui, who was just getting angry, neither of them had any appetite.
"This is what my lord ordered."
"My lord said that he was old and could not sit for a long time. After a short rest, he came out to continue the discussion with the two of you. However, he could not bear to keep you waiting for too long, so he prepared a small meal so that the two of you could eat and talk at the same time."
Xie Ning has been working beside Xie An and has already figured out what this old man is thinking.
To put it bluntly, he even understands Xie An's thoughts better than Xie An's brother Xie Shi.
Without waiting for Wang Gong and others to go back on their word, he quickly ran away and took the boys away.
The main hall suddenly became quiet. Looking around, the main hall of the Xie Mansion, surrounded on three sides, is richly decorated and eye-catching. Whether it is the carved screen or the kiss protruding from the eaves, they are all beautifully carved and pleasing to the eye.
The side leading to the door to Xie's Mansion is completely open. From here, you can have a clear view of everything happening in front of the door and in the courtyard in front of the door.
"Xie Gong, what does this mean?"
There was no sound around the main hall. The two of them sat there for a long time, holding back their energy. Finally, Xi Huixian couldn't hold it in any longer.
He poured a glass of wine and brought it to Wang Gong.
"What else could it mean!"
"From now on, Jiangzuo's military affairs will all belong to the Xie family!"
Wang Gong groaned angrily, picked up a few pieces of beef, and chewed hard, as if the pieces of meat were the shameless old man Xie An.
Chew!
We must chew up the evil-minded old man Xie An!
"No way."
Xie An has already made his intentions clear, but Xi Hui is still holding on to some illusions. This man is so naive!
"What else can't you do?"
"I didn't expect that Mr. Xie would become more courageous as he got older!"
"How could your Majesty agree to this?"
At the critical moment, Wang Gong thought of his good sister-in-law again. Although Sima Yao was confused, he was definitely not at the mercy of others.
When he delegated the power of granting rewards to Xie An, it was not entirely an act of delegating power. Wang Gong speculated that he most likely did so as a test.
It's the kind of push and pull between monarch and ministers.
I give you a foot, and you have to respect me a foot. I said I will give you all the power, but you also have to give me dignity.
According to Sima Yao's idea, he didn't care how Xie An arranged other people, he was targeting only Xie Xuan.
If Xie An led Xiangyang to a great victory and asked Sima Yao to grant him an official title, then it would be Sima Yao who would be the most difficult to do!
