Chapter 701 Sima Daozi, who lost his troops and broke his generals
"Old General, wait a moment!"
After all the servants in Huan Mansion had finished their work, Huan Chong was about to leave. Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Mi quickly said: "You can't take these artillery pieces away today!"
Huan Chong turned around and glared at him: "What?"
"You still don't want to give me all the cannons?"
Boy, these cannons are mine!
As long as I recognize it, it’s mine!
mine!
Even if the gods come, they can't take it away!
"The general has misunderstood. This junior does not mean this. These artillery pieces still belong to the general and no one can take them away."
"It's just that the artillery is not finished yet, and there is still some follow-up work. If the general wants it, he might as well wait until all the artillery is finished and the junior can deliver it to his house in person. How about it?"
Drawing a pie is the highest skill in mixed society. As long as the pie is drawn well, the bicycle will turn into a motorcycle and the green cow will turn into a BMW!
As expected, Huan Chong stopped and said, "Why bother? As many as there are here, I will take them away first, and you will bring the rest after you finish them. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"
Tsk tsk, this old man still refuses to let go.
no!
We can only enlarge the move!
"Old General, I only said half of what I said. The key point is that it is not appropriate for you to take these artillery pieces away now."
"General Huan, you have seen the danger of artillery with your own eyes. If you put so many artillery pieces in your house and they were all set alight at the same time, what would it be like, General Huan?"
"Now that the old general has taken away all the artillery, he can only store it in the house first and cannot send it to the battlefield. This is equivalent to putting all these extremely dangerous weapons next to him. If one accidentally explodes
…”
What if it explodes?
Bang bang bang!
Houses collapsed, roof tiles flew everywhere, and the thick city gates and hard mud walls could not withstand the power of the artillery, let alone the mortal body, which was not only destroyed!
A panicked look appeared in Huan Chong's eyes, and after a while he said: "You are right, these artillery should be stored in the general's workshop first."
"It won't be too late to take him away when I leave for Jingzhou."
It’s not too late, of course it’s not too late!
Pu Chao, who had always had a sullen face, finally showed a smile. Wang Shilang is really a life-saving god, and he can still think of a solution when the problem comes.
admire!
I really admire you!
"However, these artillery pieces still belong to me. You can't change your mind midway and hand them over to others."
Huan Chong raised his eyebrows and kept hinting. Wang Mi nodded, of course he knew who he was talking about.
Now the one who has the ability to snatch the cannon away from him is the champion general of Beifu, Xie Xuan, who is also his father-in-law.
"Don't worry, General Huan, I know this in my heart and will never do this."
Huan Chong left with a satisfied smile. However, the ownership of these artillery pieces had not yet settled.
Did Huan Chong think that no one else was watching these artillery pieces?
Of course it’s impossible!
My father-in-law heard that all the weapons in the workshop were made under the supervision of Wang Mi, and even the recipes were made by him, so he was already ready to make a move.
Moreover, General Xie's approach was completely different from Huan Chong's. Not only did he not personally participate in the production, but he had already assigned all these artillery pieces to the Beifu soldiers without even setting foot in the general's workshop.
The reason is very simple. My son-in-law is mine, and the artillery made by my son-in-law is naturally mine as well. Does this need to be said?
Why Wang Mi's lies were so smooth is not all because he had already rehearsed them with Xie Xuan.
Ever since Xie Xuan arrived in Jiankang City, he had hardly given Wang Mi a good look. Perhaps only they could understand all the troubles and conflicts involved.
As for marriage, here it is more about Xie Xuan's dissatisfaction with Wang Mi. Wang Mi never said he had any dissatisfaction with Xie Minghui or Xie Xuan.
But the more conflicts naturally do not revolve around the marriage of the younger generation. From all aspects, Wang Mi is a good choice for Minghui.
If Xie An hadn't often broken up the good marriages on a whim in the early years, there would have been countless marriages between the Wang and Xie families over the years!
For Xie Xuan, the biggest threat comes from the extraordinary ability of his beloved son-in-law.
For the same person, how great would it be if he was not from the Wang family, but from the Xie family, preferably his son Xie Xuan?
Xie Xuan's treatment of Wang Mi today would never be so cold or indifferent.
It's a pity that Wang Mi is still a member of the Wang family, and he seems to be a gentle-tempered member of the Wang family, but is actually a strong-willed Wang family member.
If Wang Mi was willing to be General Xie's licking dog, he might not be so entangled, as long as he tied the dog leash, but Wang Mi would never kneel down to lick him, or even use it for him.
At one point, maybe Xie An still had some illusions, but Xie Xuan, who had worked with Wang Mi for a long time, had already figured out that this was impossible!
Even his own son-in-law is in a competitive relationship. The stronger Wang Mi is, the narrower the living space of Lao Xie will be.
Xie Xuan was tired of Wang Mi, but he couldn't use the method of eliminating dissidents on Wang Mi. After all, to a certain extent, everyone was still one of his own.
control!
Xie Xuan thought of this method. He wanted to hold Wang Mi firmly in the palm of his hand. In order to test Wang Mi's respect for him, he often took benefits from Wang Mi, including the artillery. He clearly did not contribute any effort.
But as long as he, the father-in-law, wants it, he, the son-in-law, has to obediently provide it.
Next, Xie Xuan plans to train Wang Mi to a level of initiative and spontaneity, thinking about what his father-in-law thinks and worrying about what his father-in-law wants.
If you need anything, there is no need for him to ask. This is how you have found a good son-in-law.
Wang Mi felt that now he was like the bad father of that daughter Xu Erfu. He only had a few cannons made. The East family was watching, and the West family was watching with eagerness.
He cheated here and there, and in the end he left all the artillery pieces in the general's workshop.
Hum hum!
How can I hand over to you the things I have worked so hard to create and spent so much energy on?
Of course you can only follow me, Xiao Wang!
It's all mine!
The pistol is mine!
The artillery is mine too!
If I get a red cannon in the future, it will still be mine!
Wang Shilang is now a man who can lead troops. Wherever he is, the weapons will be there!
…………
The darkest time in history has finally arrived!
In the Xue family building, there were originally a lively gathering, but now only two old buddies were left, sitting alone facing each other.
What's even more frightening is that there are only two so-called accomplices left, but these two people are not of the same mind.
"I told you a long time ago that Wang Zhiyuan is unreliable, but you still haven't listened. Now you can see that by bringing him in, not only did it not increase our strength, but it also overthrew a powerful general. It's really not worth the loss." Yuan Yuezhi said.
Sigh, I feel really bad.
Fan Ning smacked his mouth, but didn't take it to heart.
"That's not Zhiyuan's fault at all. If you want to blame it, you can only blame the national treasure for not doing things well, and letting others take advantage of it." Not only did he not criticize, he actually defended that kid Wang Mi, and Yuan Yuezhi's anger immediately boiled over.
Woke up.
"You mean someone else?"
"Tell me, who is this family?"
In Yuan Yuezhi's view, after a period of observation, he found that Wang Zhiyuan and Wang Guobao had always been at odds with each other and were hostile to each other.
Now that Wang Guobao is in trouble, Wang Mi is proud and has everything he wants. Isn't this enough to explain the problem?
Furthermore, Wang Mi's behavior in the court was all out there, and he was always against Wang Guobao. It can be seen that this person entered their small circle just to bring down the national treasure.
"Yue Zhi, you have piercing eyes and a shrewd mind, but you didn't realize it?" Fan Ning said softly, holding the Book of Changes in his hand.
"Isn't it Wang Mi?"
"He has gone toe-to-toe with the national treasure several times in the court. You and I have seen this."
"I heard that before the national treasure was arrested, his good friend, the current Dr. Guo Zi, He Maiai, made slanderous remarks to His Majesty."
"He Mai has just entered the court, and his foundation is not deep. He dares to do this, but he has the support of Wang Mi behind him!"
"He Mai?"
"Just him?" Fan Ning sneered: "He Mai doesn't have the ability to bring down the national treasure."
Yuan Yue became anxious: "But there must be a reason!"
"Don't forget, your majesty held the national treasure in high regard, was very favored, and was well-behaved. Why did he suddenly become so angry at Long Yan, put him in jail, and even killed him?"
It is true that people's hearts are not so fickle, and Yuan Yuezhi was right in thinking that. However, he overlooked one point. Maybe the king's heart has never changed, but it was just hidden for a while.
Fan Ning stroked his beard and suddenly showed an enigmatic expression: "The only one who can put a national treasure to death is your Majesty."
"The national treasure must have offended His Majesty to end up like this."
"Could it be that His Majesty discovered his plan?"
"It won't implicate us!"
Yuan Yuezhi's expression changed, and he instantly realized the seriousness of this matter. The first thing he worried about was his own life.
"Actually, we clearly have different ideas about the national treasure, but we have formed a party with him. If His Majesty discovers our private friendship, wouldn't we both be doomed?"
God can tell you!
Yuan Yuezhi and Wang Guobao did have different opinions. He only opposed the aristocratic family's control of government affairs, but was loyal to Sima Yao.
Will Sima Yao understand their sincerity towards him?
Would he see them as different people?
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm fine, what are you worried about?"
Ever since he came to this conclusion, Fan Ning has been particularly confident. In the past few days, he has eaten well and slept soundly without any stress. Yuan Yuezhi was stunned for a moment and suddenly understood.
Who is the person closest to the national treasure?
Who is his biological uncle?
Of course Fanning!
If Sima Yao wants to implicate more people and put them to death, it won't be his turn, Yuan Yuezhi, because there is Fan Ning standing in the way!
Thinking of this, Yuan Yuezhi finally calmed down.
"In this way, King Langya has no hope." Unknowingly, Yuan Yuezhi's tone turned a little regretful.
He did not really hope that with the help of the national treasure, King Langya could really replace Sima Yao and ascend to the throne. This would not be of any benefit to him.
Sima Daozi has always been stingy. When the time comes, even if he has the power to follow the dragon, only Wang Guobao will be able to benefit from it, and Yuan Yuezhi will not be able to benefit from it at all.
However, he is still optimistic about Wang Guobao.
Only if he keeps causing trouble will the order in the court become more and more chaotic, and only then can they, the children of middle-class families who are waiting for food, be able to make a profit.
Without Wang Guobao, their small group would have lost a sharp sword and a hammer!
It is absolutely impossible to expect him, Lao Yuan, to rebel in the imperial court.
"Of course there is no hope. At least in the recent period, King Langya will definitely be very honest and well-behaved, but we don't know how long it can last."
"Didn't you see that for several days in a row, the king stayed at home and thanked guests behind closed doors?"
I see!
Yuan Yuezhi patted his forehead and suddenly figured everything out.
"No wonder I went to see the king yesterday and was blocked before I even entered the door!" Yuan Yuezhi looked at Fan Ning with admiring eyes.
Sure enough!
At the critical moment, we still have to look at these seniors!
Nowadays, the old man's image in Yuan Yuezhi's eyes is particularly tall and glorious, and a halo seems to appear on his head.
Older gingers are more spicy!
Why didn't he see it?
He even rushed to the palace recklessly, no wonder he was rushed back without even seeing a hair of Sima Daozi.
"Then what should we do?"
This is the issue that the two of them are most concerned about now, especially Yuan Yuezhi.
Fan Ning has always been a stoic and an old scholar. As long as he stays there and doesn't move, there won't be any problems.
His Majesty the Emperor has no suspicion on his head.
"Of course we'll wait and see what happens."
"You and I have a close relationship with the national treasure, and His Majesty knows it well. Since we are not implicated now, as long as we act honestly in the future, we will not be unlucky."
"But, Yue Zhi, I would like to remind you that King Langya and the Sun Tianshi next to King Langya are very dangerous, so you should stay away from them."
Yuan Yuezhi looked stern and a little puzzled.
"You're saying that King Langya probably hasn't given up yet and wants to repeat his old tricks?"
"How can this be!"
"This time, your Majesty cut off one of his arms before he officially took action. If he really wants to usurp the throne, can Your Majesty spare him?"
"Besides, Your Majesty is already on guard."
Although it can be said like this, how can Sima Daozi be a person who can be explained by common sense?
Fan Ning has concluded that he will not stop until he commits suicide.
"You were looking at the issue from His Majesty's point of view. You would know better if you looked at it from King Langya's point of view."
"The king will only feel that if he is caught this time and cannot take over immediately, he will be unlucky one day in the future."
His words, like a prophecy falling from the sky, immediately exploded Yuan Yuezhi's head!
Yes!
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind is not stopping. Even if His Majesty wants to put things to rest, King Langya will not stop there. His evil deeds have been revealed, which is equivalent to planting a seed of doubt in Sima Yao's heart.
The seed will never be left in the dust. It will take root and sprout, becoming more and more prosperous. Sima Daozi can still survive today because Sima Yao has not yet grasped the direct handle on him.
In other words, at this stage, retaining Sima Daozi is still useful to His Majesty the Emperor.
