If His Majesty the Emperor was still poor and his trouser pockets jingled last month, then this month His Majesty the Emperor suddenly became rich with a thunderclap.
The fall of Wang Guobao made Sima Yao rich. Although only one family of Wang Guobao has been raided so far, it has not touched the foundation of the Wang family in Taiyuan.
However, no matter how small a fly is, it is still a piece of meat, let alone a big and plump fly like Wang Guobao.
Nearly 50,000 gold were confiscated from Wang Guobao's home, so Sima Yao could pay the money alone.
But how could he pay for it with his own money?
Of course, he had to keep the small treasury he had managed to acquire with great difficulty. It was naturally better to collect the money from others! This ten thousand gold was already an extra expense. If Wang Zhiyuan hadn't been so cunning, he wouldn't have done it at all.
I won't pay for it. There is no way, the leather has been blown out and cannot be undone.
Sima Yao happily watched Sima Daozi being carried into the dormitory, and finally felt at ease.
However, he was not happy for long before something happened again that made him collapse.
"Yuanbao, what's your expression?'
"Have you seen a ghost?'
Sima Yao was in a good mood. Even eating melons made him feel energetic. Every bite was sonorous and powerful, and the juices of the fresh and tender melons splashed everywhere.
After getting the money, Sima Daozi was also stimulated and collapsed completely. This shouldn't be the case!
"Your Majesty, there is another minister requesting to see him." Yuan Bao lowered his head, not daring to look at Sima Yao at all.
"Which minister?"
"Thank you sir."
"What is he here for?'
Sima Yao's brows twitched, feeling something bad.
I know that Xie An has no good intentions, but the old man has overcome all kinds of difficulties and dangers to come here, so you can't help but see him.
We still have to see him, and Sima Yao still has a little fantasy in his heart.
What if Xie An didn’t come here to cause trouble?
However, soon, his humble little fantasy was ruthlessly exposed by Xie An.
"That doesn't make sense!'
"It's so unreasonable!"
"Thank you, old man, for robbing!"
After Xie An left, Sima Yao beat his chest and stamped his feet. He really wished he had fainted just now!
"Your Majesty, what's going on?"
"I've been angry for a long time, but Mr. Xie didn't seem to say anything!'
Separated by a palace door, the little eunuchs who were whispering finally came under the care of the elder eunuch Yuanbao and hurriedly chatted with him. Yuanbao sighed, this matter is too terrible to talk about!
Xie An really didn't say anything, but just a few words made Sima Yao so angry. All he can say is that Jiang is still hot, and this person is really very powerful.
Everyone is greedy for money, and the emperor of the Sima family is no exception. Ever since he raided Wang Guobao's home, Sima Yao has been smiling from ear to ear all day long, holding his money bag tight, for fear of being remembered by others.
Not only would he not share the money with others, he would not even tell others how much money he had confiscated.
Especially the scheming ministers in the court were all staring at him!
But never imagined that the treasure-like money was placed in Sima Yao's small treasury, and before it was warmed up, it would be handed over to others.
Don't go around the palace less.
This time, he mustered up his energy and made a special trip to the palace. Before he even opened his mouth, Sima Yao knew that he must not have been holding it in.
But he never expected that Xie An's heart would be so vicious!
He actually wants money!
Isn't that something more terrifying than death?
He actually had the nerve to say it!
"Want money?"
"Is Mr. Xie crazy?'
"Isn't this robbing the poor to give to the rich?" The young eunuchs shook their heads repeatedly. Who didn't know that in the territory of the Jin Dynasty, he, Xie An, was the richest man.
"No, you said it's easy for His Majesty to get some money, but the old man is still using his brain." Thinking of Sima Yao's heart-wrenching expression, Yuan Bao couldn't help but feel sympathy.
not easy!
It is not easy for His Majesty the Emperor to make money!
His Majesty the Emperor is having a hard time, and the eunuchs and maids can empathize with it the most. His Majesty the Emperor, who is at the top of the food chain, is short of money, and the salaries of the eunuchs and maids cannot be high.
"What did Mr. Xie say?"
"Has your Majesty agreed?'
More and more young eunuchs gathered around, and they all started talking, and they all held their breath.
So nervous!
So exciting!
Yuan Bao grabbed the fly whisk and swallowed: "Here you go!"
Two short words condensed the essence of the entire conversation. The little eunuchs who had held on to a glimmer of hope just now suddenly felt their hearts shudder, thumped, and fell back into their stomachs.
You know that Sima Yao is unreliable!
How can you agree to this?
He agreed, where will our money go?
"Eh?'
"Why did you leave?'
"I'm not done yet!'
What did Xie An say, what reasons did he use, and how did His Majesty respond? These ingots are still kept in his heart, waiting to talk to someone!
Unexpectedly, as soon as these people heard that their expectations for a money increase were in vain, they immediately left with their heads down.
The general is incompetent and the three armies are exhausted!
If he can't get any more money, Sima Yao is ready to serve himself!
The Liangfeng Hall in Xie An's house is really a treasure of Feng Shui. It is absolutely suitable for discussing all kinds of confidential matters without worrying about leaking information.
This Liangfeng Hall is built on a high platform of about three stories and is surrounded by water on three sides. There is only one entrance. You have to go up and down the stone steps in the corner of Liangfeng Hall. There is no other choice.
If you don’t want to walk far away, you can also choose to take a ferry boat to and from the two sides. While riding the boat, you can enjoy the breeze blowing in the middle of the lake. In midsummer and early autumn, you can also enjoy the pond full of lotus leaves, which is very pleasant.
"Xie's Mansion is indeed a beautiful sight!'
"This Liangfeng Hall is particularly clean and elegant. The juniors really like it!"
Enjoying the breeze and the beautiful scenery, Wang Mi did not feel the slightest bit of comfort.
He was busy working in the palace this morning. Since he returned home, his uncle Wang Hui seemed to have been injected with a ton of chicken blood.
Either you pull him to do this, or you pull him to do that.
The genius had just dawned, and Wang Mi was trying to find a reason to sneak into the general workshop to see how the artillery was being made, when he was caught by Wang Hui.
He took a bunch of new clothes and pants and told Wang Mi that they were specially customized auspicious clothes and asked Wang Mi to try them on.
After wasting a lot of time, he was blocked at the door by the Xie family in the blink of an eye, put into an ox cart, and was dragged to the Xie Mansion.
This old Xie is also very strange. If he wants to see his grandson-in-law, he just wants to talk to him. Why should he use such a cruel trick if he can't come to the door?
It seemed like he was going to be kidnapped, which made Xiao Wang worried for a while in the carriage. If he hadn't seen Xie An's attendant Xie Xiang, he might have jumped out of the carriage midway!
"Since you like it, come and visit more often. In a few days, you will be my grandson-in-law. The door of the Xie family is always open for you!"
You also know that you are getting married in a few days!
Then why are you anxious? When you get married, won't there be plenty of opportunities to meet you?
Wang Mi turned around and did not immediately continue.
Instead, he walked slowly to the desk and drank a cup of tea.
Ah!
The aftertaste is sweet, Xie’s tea is really delicious!
"Zhiyuan, guess what, why did I come to you this time?'
Xie An looked at him with a slightly naughty look and asked Wang Mi inexplicably. "I can't guess." He could only shake his head.
Xie An poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile: "You kid is so unfilial!"
Wang Mi was startled: Filial piety?
This word is a bit big, right?
Xie An is taking advantage of him. You can't force him to honor him just because he has no father!
"Juniors are stupid and don't quite understand.'
Xie An stretched out his finger and made a circle in the tea cup. Wang Mi stared at his movements, a little nervous.
Is this...unsatisfactory?
"Zhiyuan, since you are so capable, why did you help the Jingzhou soldiers capture Nanyang City? Aren't you turning your elbows outward?
"We are not a family anymore!"
"What did Mr. Xie say? We are a family!"
"Of course we are a family!'
"What Mr. Xie means is that you want me to help the Beifu soldiers defeat the enemy?'
Xie An lowered his head. Fortunately, he was not too stupid.
Otherwise, he will really doubt his own vision and whether he has chosen the wrong person again.
"I heard that you took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Xinye City to help in the war. Since the imperial court did not send you, why are you so active?" "Don't you know that you are getting married soon?'
"How dangerous it is on the battlefield. If something happens to you, what will my good granddaughter do?"
Xie An's eyes were somewhat sincere. His methods were very clever and he played the family card from the very beginning, which made Wang Mi have no choice but to lower his head and admit his mistake.
"What Mr. Xie said is that this is indeed a lack of consideration by this junior.
"Isn't this the only thing you've thought about poorly?'
"I see, you don't take me seriously at all!" Xie An raised his eyebrows, and Wang Mi immediately smiled in apology: "Ah, where do you start talking about this?"
"My son-in-law has always respected me!" Wang Mi patted his chest, demonstrating his loyalty. Xie An sneered and said, "You think I am a three-year-old child, and I can still be deceived by you?"
"You just haven't had a fight all day, and your palms are itchy. There hasn't been a war in Beifu recently, so just go to the door and help that old boy Huan Chong!"
Xie An really couldn't accept that the virtuous son-in-law he had found himself turned to Huan Chong's arms, and that his dear and warm father-in-law was in vain.
So, I can only think of the good.
Wang Mi quickly pulled the stone bench closer and served tea respectfully.
"Ah Weng, my son-in-law is doing this all for the sake of Beifu and the Xie family. You have misunderstood my son-in-law!"
Xie An showed an expression of disbelief. Wang Mi pretended not to see it, licked his lips and kept saying, "This is true."
"Aweng didn't know something. This time I rushed to Xinye City with the latest weapons. I went to Xinye not only to help in the battle, but also to test whether the new weapons were useful and easy to use.
"This is a newly made weapon. I'm not completely sure about how powerful it is, but I can't hand over this uncertain weapon to the Beifu soldiers. If it doesn't work, wouldn't I be harming my father-in-law?"
"According to what you say, you are still thinking about me wholeheartedly?'
"Is it because I was petty that I misunderstood you?" Xie An's face was solemn, but Wang Mi was smiling.
"Aweng's suspicions were all correct. It was all caused by my son-in-law being eager to fight and not informing Aweng in advance.'
"It's all my fault.
After a while, Xie An's voice floated out leisurely again.
"It doesn't matter if you make a mistake, what matters is what you do next."
"I have no other requests. I called you here today just to tell you one thing. If you go into battle to kill the enemy in the future, you can only bring Beifu soldiers with you!'
"You must not get involved with Huan Chong and other people from the Huan family in Qiaojun!"
"Before joining the war, you must discuss it with me. Only if I agree with you to go can you go!"
"Understand?'
Xie An's words were full of admonishment. Fortunately, someone has a face as good as a city wall, otherwise he would have become restless, slapped his ass and left!
"understood!'
"I understand everything!'
"If Mr. Xie doesn't agree, my son-in-law will never go to the battlefield again!"
Xie An finally revealed his true face. The attitude of those modest gentlemen and Kuan Shihuang was just a show. Once his interests were touched, he immediately jumped up.
Xie An's original intention was to thoroughly criticize Wang Mi and make him promise not to associate with Huan Chong again, and even wanted to suppress him. However, while waiting in Liangfeng Hall, a breeze blew by, and Xie An suddenly
Epiphany!
When dealing with such talents, it is always better to win over them than to suppress them. Wouldn't it be better to drag him to Beifu and make him available to the Xie family?
"However, my son-in-law also has a request. I wonder if Aweng can agree to it. Speaking of which, this matter was agreed upon early on. However, later, my son-in-law was anxious to go to the battlefield, so he put it aside."
"What's up?'
"Tell me carefully!'
It would be too long to talk about this matter.
Xie An asked so urgently that Wang Mi felt a little embarrassed.
"Xie Gong, Wang Guobao's house was confiscated, he must be quite rich.
Xie An's brows trembled and he immediately understood his intention.
"What do you want to say?'
Wang Mi chuckled: "We all agreed at the beginning that if we take down Wang Guobao, we will get half of his family's money. Ah Weng won't deny it, right?
Of course he would not make such a request easily if he was not sure about it.
However, since you have opened your mouth, it must be inevitable.
"Aweng, I heard that His Majesty has handed over all the money confiscated from the national treasure's house to you. Is this happening?" "No!:
'Absolutely not!'
Xie An panicked and quickly denied it without even thinking about it.
Old man, you still don’t admit it!
"Didn't Aweng enter the palace yesterday?"
"People on the street are saying that His Majesty gave all the money from the national treasure to Aweng. Now Aweng is quite rich!"
Isn’t this an injustice?
Lao Xie stood up and said angrily: "Which little brat is this?"
"Your Majesty is not a kind person, how could he give me all the money that was finally found?"
'Only half!'
"Really only half!"
Wang Mi smiled and thought to himself: There is actually half of it!
It’s already quite a lot!
That’s enough for him to make a fortune!
He pretended to be polite and said happily: "Aweng just said that he wanted me to go to Beifu to lead the troops. In fact, my son-in-law also wants to go!" "I have never been able to do so because I am short of money.
The way Wang Zhiyuan was crying was really disgusting. Xie An's throat moved slightly and he felt like vomiting.
