The dumbfounded Wang Gong was really indescribable. Xi Hui kicked him up and finally called his soul back.
"good!"
"good!"
"Wei Chen, all do as you are told!"
He couldn't tell what Sima Yao's serious request was, so he just agreed without hesitation. Although he still maintained a strong posture, almost everyone knew about Wang Gong's ugly appearance.
From now on, the princes in the court will probably not take him seriously.
A bluff, no threat at all, especially Xie An, who had already seen through Wang Gong's bottom line.
"Wait a minute!"
Just when the monarch and his ministers had reached the great harmony unique to the Jin Dynasty, a man stepped forward and broke such a beautiful scene.
It was Wang Mi, the new minister of Huangmen, who was about to be rewarded for his meritorious service and celebrated by all the officials.
"how?"
"You are still dissatisfied?"
As one of the troublemakers, Wang Gong had been completely disabled by Wang Mi, so Xi Hui, who had always been high-spirited, had no choice but to actively take over his place.
He was holding his waist, full of anger, and looked at Wang Mi sideways and sideways, as if Wang Mi was holding an official title from his Xi family.
His surname is not Sima!
Xi Hui's idea was very simple. At this time, Wang Mi still jumped out to object, which only meant that he was not satisfied with the reward.
This is really too much!
It is true that his contribution to the Xiangyang War was quite great. None of the bell-ringing monks standing in the court could compare with him.
But, but...
Xie An is already generous enough. Things in Jiankang City are expensive, and the house in District A is even more expensive.
It can be said that the reward Wang Mi received was much better than that of Liu Yu. It was not an order of magnitude at all.
One order of magnitude!
Liu Yu's mere hundred gold seemed like real money, but if he wanted to buy a decent house in a prime location in Jiankang City, it would be impossible without a thousand gold!
What's more, there is also the title of County Duke, which is equivalent to a salary, and all the land is given away in a package.
"The reward is so generous, Wang Zhiyuan, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
"I advise you to be self-aware and don't let the lion open his mouth."
Compared with Wang Gong, who is a hypocrite and a real villain, this Xi Hui is actually quite interesting, and he speaks very arrogantly, which makes people feel happy.
Wang Mi leaned forward and brought his two good friends to Sima Yao's side.
It was only then that Xi Hui and other ministers discovered that there were two more decorations in the hall.
I see.
The ministers nodded one after another, understanding Wang Mi's intention.
I have my reward, but what about my friend’s?
Not settled yet.
This is to ask for a favor from a friend, which is understandable.
"Your Majesty, these two young men also made great achievements in the battle of Xiangyang. I boldly ask your Majesty to give them an official position."
Sima Yao had already noticed the two handsome young men behind Wang Mi. Sima Yao also recognized the one in white.
The last time Sima Yao organized His Royal Highness's imperial students to explain the Filial Son Sutra, he was also there. I remember he was the nephew of General Liu Laozhi of Beifu.
Another young man with a round face and a happy face was a stranger to him.
After Wang Mi gave a brief introduction, Sima Yao realized that they were actually from the same family and both belonged to the He family of Lujiang.
"He Mai is young and has never had military experience. He is able to achieve such feats when he first enters the battlefield. It is really impressive and impressive." Sima Yao looked at He Mai with admiration. This young man looked quite likeable.
, he likes it very much.
"He Wuji has been serving in Beifu all year round. It is better to be promoted to the position of a Chinese soldier and join the army. When there is a big war, he can go to Beifu."
"As for He Mai," Sima Yao's eyes turned to He Mai. Ah Mai's heart skipped a beat. What kind of look was that?
Very strange!
Could it be that everyone has a reward, but Xiao He must be left behind in the end?
He Mai was very nervous and swallowed his saliva unconsciously. Sima Yao paused and finally thought of a reward for He Mai.
"I like this young man very much. Why don't you just stay with me and be a secretary?"
The so-called Secretary Lang is the official position in charge of the inner palace's scriptures and atlases. It is considered a serious civil official. In the Jin Dynasty, the children of aristocratic families entered the official career, and most of them started to advance from this official position.
For example, Wang Mi was like this. When he first came to the court, he transferred his father's official title and entered the official position as a secretary.
In the current aristocratic family system, although the Lujiang He family is far from comparable to first-class aristocratic families such as the Langya Wang family, they still have a certain family status.
From then on, becoming an official was in full compliance with the regulations of the Jin Dynasty.
All the ministers sighed one after another, envious of He Mai's good fortune. Many of the He family's children could not get official positions with all their efforts, but his son got it easily.
It’s all life!
Sima Yao sat upright, waiting for He Mai to shout long live and praise the Lord for his wisdom. However, He Mai seemed to be shocked. After a moment, he still didn't react.
"Ah Mai first came to the court and was not familiar with the rules of the court, so I thanked Your Majesty for him." Sima Yao looked like he was about to collapse if he didn't say anything anymore, so Wang Mi had to help He Mai handle the matter first.
Fortunately, although He Mai was a little reluctant, his expression was quite understandable.
The official position of Secretary Lang did not meet He Mai's expectations. He originally thought that like He Wuji, he could stay in Beifu and continue the war.
But he didn't expect that after being manipulated by Sima Yao, he would stay in the central court.
Although He Mai was dissatisfied, Wang Mi liked Sima Yao's decision quite a lot.
Although the position of Secretary Lang may seem small, he is a dignified minister of the emperor. He usually holds a volume of books and accompanies Sima Yao to preach scriptures, and He Mai is indispensable.
This job was a good opportunity to take advantage of He Mai's talents, which include being eloquent and expressive. From then on, Wang Mi also had someone beside Sima Yao.
Don't have too much hope for the descendants of the Langya Wang family. In fact, it will be difficult for them to agree with what Wang Mi is going to do.
These people, hiding under the banner of Dajin and relying on their status as aristocratic families, have been making money for too many years. How could they give up such ready-made fat and create a new era with Wang Mi?
The new era means that interests need to be redistributed and bets must be made again. For the comfortable Langya Wang family, their motivation to change the existing interest distribution is minimal.
It was difficult for Wang Mi to mobilize people of his own clan to advance and retreat with him.
Even if there are just a few of them, they need to be screened carefully to see if these people have their own agenda, or if they really want to pursue a great cause with Wang Mi.
Therefore, at this stage, it seems that He Mai's ability to come to Sima Yao's side is a major benefit to Wang Mi.
