"Ms. Shen is a good person, very righteous. Besides, her relationship with Wang Zhiyuan is not what you imagined.'
"She lives in the palace now. I have met her. She is still very supportive of our marriage. Regardless of whether she is telling the truth or not, I believe it.'
"If she wanted to compete with me, she would have struck first!
"Isn't it?" Xie Minghui said calmly.
Xie An was stunned. This seemed to make some sense.
The so-called first move means to be the first to marry Wang Zhiyuan. Of course, his status cannot exceed Xie Minghui's.
That is to say, being a concubine. In ancient marriages, only marrying a wife was a big deal, and marrying a concubine was completely indifferent.
There can be a ceremony, or there can be no formality at all, and it can be announced directly to the outside world.
However, generally speaking, everything comes first. As someone who hangs around Wang Zhiyuan every day, Shen Suanzi has many opportunities to throw herself into his arms and become his concubine first.
At this time, it will be quite difficult for Xie Minghui, who entered the house later.
However, Shen Suanzi did not do this. Thinking about it this way, Xie Minghui's statement made sense.
"However, that boy Wang Mi has a young lady following him, who is always a threat to you. Aweng is not trying to persuade you to eliminate the threat. For the children of the aristocratic family, you also know that this kind of threat cannot be eliminated completely."
"Since you can't control it, you should be more open-minded and don't have any conflicts with Zhiyuan because of these things.'
It is not uncommon for men to flirt with women and women to make a fuss. This kind of thing is not uncommon in Jiankang City where there are many people.
Jealousy is a common thing for people.
It's like men always warn women not to take concubinage too seriously. This is a man's nature.
But things are reversed. If a woman finds three or five men at the same time and puts them all in her own house, do you think the man will allow it?
I'm afraid it's not just a quarrel and a fight!
It is extremely possible to cause loss of life!
However, since women are jealous and cannot accept men having three wives and four concubines, why should they tolerate it in real life? This involves a very profound problem.
In the end, everything is an economic issue.
In ancient times, there were almost no serious ways for women to make money. Since they couldn't make money and women had to survive, what should they do? They could only rely on men. Since they had to be dependent on men, they must not fall out with the money bag.
The same thing actually applies to the so-called upper-class aristocratic women.
Although women in this era are often at a disadvantage, when your class reaches a certain level, this situation in the family can be completely reversed.
For example, Liu Chuyu, the famous Princess of Shanyin in the Liu Song Dynasty, had her consort carefully selected, but it still could not stop her from having all kinds of affairs.
She also brought the man she liked to the princess's mansion, where she ate and lived with her consort, and she was still powerless despite the green clouds over her.
There is also Princess Yuzhen of the Tang Dynasty. In her Taoist temple, you can see celebrities and famous families at that time everywhere. Li Bai, the poet, and Wang Wei, who was obsessed with landscapes, were all her guests.
As for who Princess Yuzhen's heart belongs to, it is not something that these great love saints can figure out.
Among these women who are both rich and powerful, it seems that men's privileges cannot be used.
Of course, this is only a very rare case, and even such princesses are very few among the princesses. Most princesses still abide by the basic laws of society, and they generally don't care about concubines.
However, when it comes to Xie Minghui, even if she comes from the most noble family in Jiankang City, she will inevitably face such problems.
If it were anyone else, that would be fine. Xie An wouldn't say such a thing, but Xie Minghui
He knew the personality of his granddaughter too well. She always did as she pleased and refused to let anyone else do it. How could she tolerate a young lady who was so dazzling in front of her?
If there was a falling out, it would delay Lao Xie's important event!
Yes!
Even when facing his beloved granddaughter, Xie An did not stop scheming.
Of course he cares about Xie Minghui, and this cannot be slandered. However, in comparison, once Xie Minghui takes a firm position in the Wang family and can influence Wang Mi, it will be of great benefit to him.
Marriage between aristocratic families and consolidating their power are the most important, and feelings and other matters come second.
This is the most important reason why Xie An clearly knows that Xie Daohui and Wang Guobao have always been at odds, and this discord is largely caused by Xie An, but he does not allow them to divorce.
Wang Guobao, he still has uses!
Although he has a despicable character and is on bad terms with Xie An, he is a popular figure in His Majesty's eyes and has a close relationship with King Langya. Such a person is naturally a force in the court and cannot be ignored.
With Xie Daohui in the middle, even if Wang Guobao hates Xie An to his core, he still has to have some scruples if he wants to take action against Xie An. The same is true for the marriage between Xie Minghui and Wang Zhiyuan.
Wang Zhiyuan is a rising star, and Xie An should be firmly in his grasp. However, the relationship between men is always not so reliable.
Now, since Wang Zhiyuan is also interested in Minghui, Xie An follows suit and binds Xiao Wang.
In fact, selfishly speaking, he even wanted Minghui to get married to Zhiyuan earlier, so that this line could work earlier.
That boy from Zhiyuan was busy in and out every day, either wandering around the workshop or going to parties with his few friends from Jingkou. What happened to them, what they did, what they were thinking, Lao Xie had no clue.
There is no way to figure it out. He urgently needs an informant to get inside, and Xie Minghui is obviously a good candidate.
Xie An said many more comforting words, all of which came from the bottom of his heart, which was very helpful to Minghui. However, what Xie An did not expect was that his earnest words could not sway her mind.
"Aweng, don't worry, this is a matter for us young people, just leave it to us to handle.'
"Aweng, you should take care of the affairs of the court!'
"Do you trust that Mrs. Shen that much?'
"Don't blame Aweng for not reminding you. The Wu Xing Shen family members are all very strange and not easy to deal with!" Xie An's expression was serious and he looked very serious. Not only was Xie Minghui not nervous, He even chuckled a little.
"I know she is weird, but I do have confidence.
She covered her mouth and laughed wildly, but did not dare to tell the truth
Of course Mrs. Shen is weird!
If Aweng knew that Shen Suanzi was a lover of cross-dressing, he would probably be so frightened that he could not even close his mouth!
Outside Jiankang City, Zhongshan Posthouse.
Wang Mi and his entourage, who came from afar and were covered with travel dust, finally arrived outside Jiankang City after a few days. They jumped up to the high ground and could even see the majestic eaves of Jiankang Palace!
If Liu Yu had followed Liu Yu's wishes and walked a few steps quickly into the city before it was completely dark, no matter what time it was, as long as they returned to the city, His Majesty the Emperor would not have to crawl out to see them. Don't dare to delay.
"Zhiyuan, do you really not care about the situation in the city or the court?'
"Why didn't you go to the city earlier? It's too late now!" Liu Yu said worriedly as he entered the post house.
"Jinnu, sit down, sit down quickly.'
"Don't worry, drink some water.
Wang Shilang said he was not in a hurry, but in fact he was not in a hurry.
As for the old General Huan Chong, there is nothing to say.
I had already eaten and drank enough, and I was just waiting to watch the show.
"Captain Zeng, go and bring Yang Ding over.'
Along the way, except for Wang Mihuanchong and other generals, there were only more than 200 people who followed them back to Jiankang. They were all members of the pistol team who had gone to Xinye City from Jiankang.
They took away five hundred and brought back more than two hundred. For such an extremely difficult and tough battle, the battle loss rate was completely passable. If they had stronger firepower and more troops, they might be able to achieve a better record. .
In addition to these soldiers who must follow him, Wang Mi also brought back a special gift to His Majesty the Emperor, a living prisoner.
The great general of Di Qin, Yang Ding!
In the past few great victories, you brothers have charged so bravely and decisively with your swords and spears.
When the battlefield was being cleaned up, it was discovered that almost all the respectable generals of Shiqin had been sent to the West by their brothers, and there was not even a single one with any enthusiasm left!
What a pity!
This time, Sima Yao can finally see him alive!
"General Yang, please take a seat.
Wang Mi's kindness did not bring a smile to Yang Ding's face. General Yang, who had gone through a bumpy road, was now disgraced and even had a scar on his forehead.
“No need!’
"Just stand there!" Yang Ding frowned and refused to obey.
"I wonder how General Yang's injury is? Have you thought about it these past two days?'
Hearing that something big happened to Qin Lord Fu Jian in Chang'an City, although Yang Ding was not yet sure about Fu Jian's life or death, he already had thoughts of martyrdom for his lord.
The so-called destruction of the country and the destruction of the family is nothing more than that.
The country is dead, how can he, a defeated general, have the dignity to live in this world?
He hit rocks and grabbed long knives. He did everything he could, but his fate was unlucky. Apart from adding a few scars to his body, which hurt so much that he couldn't sleep at night, there was almost no benefit at all.
"We all understand General Yang's wish. As long as you are willing to cooperate with us, we will definitely make you get what you want." Yang Ding did not speak for a long time, putting on a posture of being ready to die heroically at any time. I really don't know, he
Does my neck hurt? "Can you really help me get what I want?"
Yang Ding's fierce eyes suddenly softened, and Wang Mi nodded happily: "Of course I know, don't you just want to die?" "That's right!'
"Exactly!'
"If you are still a soldier and a warrior, just give me a knife and kill me. Both sides will be happy!"
Don’t you just want to die?
What's so difficult about that?
There is nothing simpler than this in the world, but it is not that easy if someone wants to die.
"Of course we can give you a happy death, it's too simple. As long as you do what we say, we can let you die in an honorable manner.'
"An honorable death?"
"What does it mean?"
The short-sighted and rough-tempered Han Yang Ding of the Qin Dynasty simply couldn't understand the twists and turns of these children of the aristocratic family.
"As a loyal minister of the Qin Dynasty, what can be more honorable and reflect your loyalty than being granted death by me, the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty? 'Death?'
Yang Ding's eyes lit up, this is indeed a good idea!
So glorious!
"Can you really let Sima Yao execute me?" Yang Ding was a little doubtful.
In comparison, if you fail to die on the battlefield and are given death by the emperor, it will certainly be more honorable. It is a rare opportunity!
Judging from the current situation of the confrontation between the North and the South, it is difficult to ask for death. Wang Mi and others are really needed to help.
Generally speaking, the opponent's generals, especially high-level generals like Yang Ding, will be retained and rarely sent to death. If you want to get what you want, you really need to rely on the power of Wang Mi and others.
"Of course, but before I teach you the method, you must first agree to a condition.
"What conditions?'
In the adult world, what comes and goes is the rule.
"You must clearly explain our heroic performance on the Nanyang battlefield to His Majesty the Emperor, so that we can achieve great success and receive countless rewards.'
"As long as you can help us get these, we can let you die happily!"
This... what kind of trick is this?
"Isn't it true that in the Jin Dynasty, when a general who won a victorious battle returned to the dynasty with his troops, he was not necessarily rewarded?"
"There is such a thing!"
Yang Ding's soul torture made all the Jin generals present blush with thick necks. He was right. If he didn't work actively, he might not be able to get this reward.
Although Yang Ding found this kind of thing inexplicable, he had no reason not to accept it. After he was taken away, Liu Yu, who was confused, got involved.
"Our credit is obvious, why do you still want Yang Ding to speak for us?"
Send the slave, send the slave, he is still too simple.
"Have you forgotten King Langya's attitude?'
"With him here, we will never be able to get this reward!"
"Jinu, Old General Huan, when we return to Jiankang, we must work together to convince His Majesty completely. Otherwise, we who have won the battle may be punished!'
"Is there such a thing?
"How can it be!
Liu Yu looked shocked and refused to believe anything he said.
Mr. Bai seemed to understand.
"Zhiyuan is right, as long as I am here, it will be difficult for the court to award you a reward!"
“It’s good to be more prepared!’
It is completely normal for others not to have this experience. The imperial court's attitude towards Jingzhou soldiers has always been that rewards and punishments are absolutely unclear.
You won't necessarily be rewarded if you win, and you won't necessarily be punished if you lose. And Nanyang's great victory was basically led by Jingzhou soldiers.
In order to seek justice for Jingzhou soldiers, Yang Ding is absolutely indispensable as a witness.
Everyone has thought carefully, but can things really develop as they expected?
Da da da.
da da da
"Zhiyuan, I'm still very worried. King Langya is targeting us like this, so if we go to Jiankang, we may be in trouble!" I don't know why Liu Yu, who has always been brave, is so worried. This really doesn't fit with his character.
.
"Do you think His Majesty wants to get rid of us?'
The cunning rabbit is dead, the running dogs are cooked, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden!
Counting this time, they, the brothers who started their careers together in Jingkou, have won several great battles.
The Jin Dynasty has always had fierce factional struggles, and the members of the Jingkou Gang have not relied on any big tree so far. For them, the thickest thigh around them is just Wang Zhiyuan.
How could the imperial court allow a team like theirs to become bigger and stronger?
Thinking of Sima Daozi's letter of questioning, Liu Yu couldn't help but feel frightened.
