Chapter 580 With the power, the responsibility is also indispensable
How could Sima Daozi have ever been wronged like this? Although in Xie An's view, this was a completely legitimate accusation. He, Sima Daozi, was not qualified to lead the affairs of the minister. However, Sima Daozi, who felt good about himself, would never think so.
The younger brother of the Son of Heaven should of course be entrusted with the responsibility of taking charge of the affairs of the state. Who else should be left to him?
Even Xie An’s job should be left to him!
say something!
Are you all mute?
Sima Daozi looked around, and among the ministers attending the banquet, not one of them jumped out to support him!
That’s not true!
He immediately became furious!
This is not to blame for the ministers, Sima Daozi, whose virtue is indeed unworthy of his position, and Xie An's accusation is not wrong in the slightest.
If Xie An points his sword at Sima Yao, then all the ministers will definitely step forward and seek justice. After all, Sima Yao was the emperor who was elected by the ministers after deliberation.
You have to give him some face, but Sima Daozi doesn't have that face. Even in the eyes of Wang Gong, Fan Ning and others, Sima Daozi is not worthy of taking on this important responsibility.
"It seems that Mr. Xie will not give up until he achieves his goal today!"
"Your Majesty, Mr. Xie discussed the affairs of King Langya and Xie Youdu together. This is just random talk. I think it is very inappropriate."
At the critical moment, you have to look at the national treasure!
Sima Daozi immediately cast a grateful look at Wang Guobao, his family is reliable!
Wang Guobao is not necessarily very reliable. He just cannot see Xie An being proud. He will oppose anything Xie An agrees with, and hold back anything Xie An wants to promote!
Although Wang Guobao is usually confused and drunk, this time he has found the key point very accurately.
Xie An put several things together to discuss. This was an act of secretly changing concepts, but in the Jin Dynasty, this was another thing.
Unlike the unified and stable dynasty, in the Jin Dynasty, the division of labor between ministers was not very clear, and it was difficult for them to perform their respective duties.
The entire court situation, whether it was daily management or military expeditions, was all decided by a limited number of people surrounding Sima Yao.
The other people were just standing in the court to show off.
Similarly, who was promoted to these important positions in the Jin Dynasty and who was dismissed were also the result of the game between the aristocratic family and the royal family.
There are trade-offs between aristocratic families, and there are also struggles between aristocratic families and the royal family. For Xie An, allowing Sima Daozi to participate in government affairs means that the Xie family will also benefit.
Benefits come first and later. For the battle in Xiangyang, while the army was outside, Sima Yao actually helped Sima Daozi seize a pivotal position in the court.
Although Xie An is still in charge of the court, Sima Daozi cannot make any big splash, but as long as the opportunity is right, he will definitely take action.
Xie An promised well on the surface, but in fact, he had been waiting for the opportunity to win back the victory. Xie Xuan returned triumphantly, and this was the opportunity!
One for one.
Sima Yao is not a fool, he is reading Xie An's threatening eyes.
For him, this was definitely not an easy decision to make. Once this position was added to Xie Xuan, it would mean offending the Huan family of Qiaojun.
Being the commander-in-chief of all the Chinese and foreign military forces is equivalent to handing over all the troops in the Jin Dynasty to Xie Xuan. Regardless of whether Sima Yao is willing or not, the Huan clan of Qiaojun will definitely be the first to jump up!
Various thoughts kept spinning in Sima Yao's mind. Suddenly, one thought came to the forefront and occupied the high point!
The Huan family of Qiaojun!
right!
And them!
On the issue of the distribution of military power, the Huan family and the central court have never dealt with it. As for the Huan family, with Jingzhou as the center and in all directions, it is of course better for the Huan family to have more of this part of the land in the middle reaches of the river in the hands of the Huan family.
Now, if Sima Yao hands all the military power over the Jin Dynasty to Xie Xuan, there will be great things to watch!
"Brother, I think what Wang Danyang said is exactly the truth!"
"It is indeed because of my eldest brother that I live in the court. However, I think that I have been working hard these days and have not dared to slack off."
"Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning."
With Wang Guobao's backing, Sima Daozi was immediately resurrected with full health, and even assumed a dignified posture, planning to argue with Xie An!
The smile on Xie An's face was stiff. Wang Guobao's instigation really put him in a difficult position. He was now trying to hold on.
But the real hero, Xie Youdu, was messed up by Xie An because of his daughter's marriage. He was dissatisfied and unwilling to sing on stage with Xie An at all.
Originally, Lao Xie was weak, but fortunately, apart from a few of the courtiers present who could speak well around Sima Yao, the rest did not dare to contradict Xie An at all.
This gave old man Xie some confidence to give it a try and maybe it would happen!
Even if it fails, the Xie family's authority in the court is still unshakable!
"I think it is too early to hand over the general power to Xie Youdu now." Rao calmly kicked the ball to Sima Yao, and Wang Gong still chose an opportunity to express his position.
On Wang Gong's side, no one has yet managed to control a powerful army. How could such a good thing come to Xie Xuan first?
The Beifu soldiers are already in the palm of his hand, what else is he dissatisfied with?
You can't let the Xie family take all the good things!
"I believe that General Xie played a great role in the battle of Xiangyang and deserves this responsibility." Wang Mi, who was also an archer, expressed the completely opposite opinion.
Old Xie Deng's eyes suddenly lit up. He who knows me is a good son-in-law!
Others didn't realize it, but Sima Yao heard the hidden meaning of Wang Mi.
It is power and responsibility.
If Xie Xuan wanted to take over military power, he would have to assume the defense of the entire Jin Dynasty. He would not only have to work hard to resist foreign enemies, but also quell internal strife, and he could not relax on any of them.
At the same time, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. This has always been a theorem. Once the glorious name of the military commander at home and abroad is attached to Xie Xuan, the gains and losses of the Jin Dynasty will be all his responsibility.
!
Huan Chong could defeat the battle, but he, Xie Xuan, could not.
Wang Mi's words further strengthened Sima Yao's determination.
He put down the wine cup and finally had a smile on his face: "What Mr. Xie said is absolutely true. In the battle of Xiangyang, Youdu managed the army well and won a great victory. However, he never received a reward. This is indeed my fault."
"Aning, prepare a decree."
Wang Gong came forward reluctantly, not even wanting to raise his eyelids, not even wanting to look at Xie An.
Although Sima Yao has not yet announced his will, Wang Gong already understands his fate.
This round, Xie An won again!
"Champion General Xie Xuan has made great achievements in fending off enemies and has blessed our territory of the Jin Dynasty for many years. I am deeply grateful to him and have specially granted him the title of Commander-in-Chief of various military positions at home and abroad, and the third rank of nobility."
"I obey the decree." Wang Gong gritted his teeth and said this, but he saw that Xie Youdu himself, who had gained a huge advantage, did not look any better than Wang Gong.
After Xie An's frequent hints, Xie Youdu came out and sang "Your Majesty's grace" and acknowledged this gift.
