That kid Wang Zhiyuan is a good fighter, but he doesn't know whether he can be reliable in running an army. It's not that easy to suppress those generals who are eager to try!
It can be said that since Wang Zhiyuan was sent to Jingkou, Xie An's heart has not been in suspense for a day. Although he has been encouraging Wang Mi, he also has some doubts about whether he can control the situation, but in front of him
, it can’t be said clearly.
Now, Wang Gong took the initiative to ask for an audience, so of course he had to agree.
After many days, I think Wang Gong and the others have already discussed a practical plan. It's time for Xie An to take action.
Although, compared with the past, this little hand is much less confident.
However, Xie An was still very confident. With his status in the court, these people did not dare to go beyond him to decide any major issues in the court.
This has proven to be the case.
Otherwise, Wang Gong would not have chosen this time to visit.
Hum hum!
Wang Aning, good luck to you!
Although Wang Gong has not revealed a word about his next plan, Xie An already has a hunch that the power of the Wang family in Taiyuan will gradually exceed that of the Xie family in Chen County.
And he, Wang Gong, will definitely put pressure on him, Xie An.
As a powerful official and famous person of the generation, the feeling of being suppressed by others is really not good.
This is why, for many days, Xie An's health has not been a big problem and his mood is quite acceptable, but he has to close the door to thank guests.
He didn't want to wink at Wang Gong, knowing that the court might have the final say next time.
However, as of today, it is true that I have to meet him even if I don’t want to.
Seeing Xie An staggering out, Wang Gong immediately stood up to greet him.
"I've met Mr. Xie."
It seems that Wang Gong is in a surprisingly good mood!
His face, which was originally a little tired due to the hard work of the government, also glowed with new brilliance. Originally, Wang Gong was regarded as the most beautiful man in Jiankang City. He should not be deprived of his beauty just because he was older.
Good reputation.
"Wang Danyang is definitely not looking for me to visit my doctor, right?"
"Since we met today, I won't hide anything from you. Youdu may be in trouble this time, and the power of Beifu will be lost."
Isn't that what you want to know? Then I'll tell you without going around in circles.
How about it?
Are you satisfied?
Wang Gong was slightly stunned: "Is it really impossible to get better?"
"If Mr. Xie needs it, he can ask the imperial doctor to take a look. Maybe there is a way."
Xie An is the most powerful person in Jiankang City. It can be expected that all the famous doctors that can be found in the city have come to see Xie Youdu.
The only thing you can count on now is the imperial doctor in the palace.
However, with the current medical level, in fact, the doctors in the city are not necessarily worse than the doctors in the palace.
Wang Gong suddenly thought that since many doctors came to see Xie Youdu, the news that he was seriously ill might have come from them.
"No need."
"Everything that needs to be done has been done."
"Even if Youdu can save his life this time, he will not be able to go to the battlefield again, let alone take charge of Beifu."
"So, from now on, you have to worry more about Beifu's affairs."
The old man was quite good at talking. Facing Xie An again, Wang Gong actually gained some confidence to overpower him.
"Thank you, Mr. Xie, for worrying too much. Beifu is still your Beifu, and our other families will never covet you."
"Besides, I heard that you have already sent Wang Zhiyuan to Jingkou. Although this young man is not very experienced, he has won several major battles under his leadership. Come to think of it, he
His prestige in the military is not low either."
"I think he will be able to quickly control the situation."
"As for whether Beifu will be handed over directly to Wang Mi in the future, or whether it will be replaced by a new person when the time is right, that is all decided by Mr. Xie."
Xie An was slightly startled, and looked up to see Wang Gong's eyes, which were actually somewhat sincere.
Could it be that Wang Gong is really thinking about the Xie family?
That's fine, as long as he has this intention, the rest of the conversation can continue.
"All in all, the situation in the Jin Dynasty will definitely be more difficult in the future. As the most senior official among the officials in the government, I can't say that I am the most capable, but I also bear the responsibility of taking charge of the overall situation. I hope that all my colleagues can fight for it.
We work together to protect the country."
No matter what, unity is the most important thing.
Over the years, under Xie An's painstaking management, it should be said that the situation in the Jin Dynasty and several forces had a rare period of calm.
The several major families are in harmony, both openly and secretly. When they need to work hard, they can cooperate with each other and be more harmonious.
But with Sima Yao's death, it can be foreseen that the distribution of power among the courtiers will definitely change dramatically.
The balance of power that had only been maintained for a few years was about to be broken again. Xie An really didn't want to see such an ending.
As he got older, his ability to operate among the courtiers was much weaker than when he was young. More importantly, when he became an official, he had to do it reluctantly and had to do something when he was in danger.
Now, twenty years have passed, and he no longer has the energy. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the strong military front to seize a few more important towns in the north. When the situation stabilized, he would resign and return to the rank of nobility, never to return.
Ask about the affairs of the court and live a good few years to save your life.
such a pity!
Such a sweet dream was completely shattered after just a few games.
Could it be that he, Lao Xie, was really going to die of old age in the Jin Dynasty?
"What Mr. Xie said is absolutely true, and I think so too."
"The fact that the government has reached this stage is due to Xie Gong's many years of strategizing. We must actively work hard to maintain this situation."
"Although it may not be easy, I think as long as we are determined, united and have a complete plan, we can definitely achieve it."
Xie An bowed his head, it would be great if he had this recognition.
"So, regarding the candidate for the new monarch, it seems that you have already thought about it, Aning. Otherwise, you wouldn't have made a special trip to visit me."
Now that the words have been said, there is no need to hide them anymore. Xie An thought that maybe Wang Gong was embarrassed to bring it up, so he spoke first.
As expected, Wang Gong looked relieved. Xie An started the game first, so he was relieved.
Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing for him to rely on himself. Mainly, if Xie Xuan doesn't fall ill, it doesn't matter. It's just an exchange of interests and a normal negotiation.
However, Xie Xuan is now seriously ill and is about to return to the west. To come to discuss with Xie An the candidate to succeed him at this time is somewhat suspected of taking advantage of others' danger.
"Xie Gong is right, I came here precisely for this matter."
"In any case, Mr. Xie doesn't want Sima Daozi to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in the future."
Let’s put aside whether Sima Dezong can succeed. Anyway, Sima Daozi cannot succeed. Let’s throw out the worst candidate first, and the rest of the matter will be easy to discuss.
Sure enough, Xie An waved his hands repeatedly and said angrily: "How can he do it?"
"He absolutely can't!"
"Stop talking about him. He is Sima Dezong. Apart from him, there is no better candidate."
"I agree."
Unexpectedly, Xie An agreed so happily, and the pressure in Wang Gong's heart dissipated instantly.
He smiled hurriedly and said: "As long as I have Mr. Xie's support, I can go ahead and do it!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Xie. As long as the situation in the court stabilizes, the original balance of power will never change. The selection of generals in Beifu will all follow Mr. Xie's arrangements."
"I will not interfere in Beifu's affairs."
If you get someone's advantage, you can't treat them badly.
In Beifu, the Taiyuan Wang family did not have much control. This plate used to belong to the Xie family.
At this stage, Wang Gongye does not want to exert his efforts in Beifu.
In this regard, Xie An’s wish will be fulfilled!
After discussing this matter, the rest of the trivial matters will be easy to talk about. Under Wang Gong's continuous output, Xie An finally understood everything about their plans these days.
.
Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Wang Gong actually attracted the ministers from Sima Daozi's side. The speed was so fast that Xie An was also surprised.
It seems that our government in Jin Dynasty still has a lot to do!
Those ministers who originally followed Sima Daozi, faced with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, did not turn their heads to support Sima Daozi because of profit, but put the stable development of the court first.
It has to be said that this is the result of everyone’s joint efforts.
As a result, the only ones who follow Sima Daozi wholeheartedly are the demons of Tianshi Dao.
And that group of people, once there are no Beifu soldiers to support them in the front, they will naturally be a bunch of shrimp soldiers and crabs, and they will not be able to do anything at all.
Now, let’s see what the situation is like on Wang Mi’s side!
After Wang Gong left, Xie An's mood did not improve much. The smoother the progress in the court, the more worried he was about the situation in Jingkou.
Sima Daozi now seems to be holding back, but according to the information Xie An received, he has already been secretly contacting the generals in Beifu.
If Xie Xuan was still there, no matter how many people Sima Daozi contacted, he would still not be able to accomplish anything. But at this moment, Xie Xuan unexpectedly fell ill.
If Xie Xuan falls ill, Sima Yao can still be fine, and there is still more room for maneuver in this matter. However, this Sima Yao is not up to expectations. He will not die sooner or later, but he has to die at this time.
Tsk tsk...
Could it be that this is some so-called fate?
"Xie Xiang, go to the post house again to see if there is any news from Jingkou."
"It's time for news!"
Xie An, who had always been calm and leisurely, suddenly became restless. Xie Xiang, who had followed him for many years, also noticed his anxiety at this moment.
He quickly ran out and waited for news.
Here, Xie An couldn't sit still anymore and simply walked to Xie Xuan's wing to see how his nephew was doing.
However, it was all in vain. Ever since he fell ill, Xie Xuan's condition has not changed much. He has always looked confused.
While Xie An was worried about him, he was also worried about the future, not only for the future of the Xie family, but also for the future of Dajin.
If the transition cannot be smooth, many previous efforts will be in danger of being wasted again!
"Aweng, will Dad get better?"
Xie Minghui came around from behind and came to Xie Xuan's bed with empty steps. She had been taking care of him these days.
Seeing Xie Xuan's condition getting worse and worse, Minghui was really worried from the bottom of her heart. Not only was she worried, but the worry was also lingering.
"Huihui, birth, old age, illness and death are all human destiny. There is no way around it. We are all mortals and no one can avoid it."
"Aweng is the same, there will be a day like this in the future."
Xie An stroked Minghui's head and spoke earnestly. His voice was so loving and his feelings so sincere.
However, this sincerity is what Xie Minghui cannot bear.
"Aweng!"
"Will not!"
"Absolutely not!"
"Aweng will definitely be fine!"
Minghui was really frightened by the successive blows. She clutched the corner of Xie An's clothes tightly and wouldn't let go. Tears filled her face in an instant.
Xie An let out a long sigh, what can he do?
In front of such a child, if you put it lightly, she is afraid that she will not be mentally prepared and will not take it seriously. If you put it seriously, she will not be able to bear it at all.
She was still so young, she had not yet had a clear impression of death, and she had not considered such a thing at all.
However, it is a pity that the disaster was placed in front of her, without giving the young girl who was not familiar with the world any chance to breathe.
Xie An could only keep comforting Xie Minghui, who was crying in his arms. The girl's cries continued one after another, and Xie An's heart was almost broken.
In this way, until the crying in his arms turned into sobs intermittently, Xie An started to talk about other topics.
"Huihui, you and Zhiyuan have been married for some time. Has Zhiyuan mentioned anything about the affairs in Beifu these days?"
You are so confused, why are you talking about this?
Minghui was slightly stunned, and Xie An continued: "You also know that Aweng has sent Zhiyuan to Jingkou Beifu to guard it."
"I have been here for several days, but there has been no news. Aweng can't help but feel a little worried. Logically speaking, there should be no problem in suppressing the generals of Beifu with Zhiyuan's military exploits. I have also explained it.
, let him temporarily hide the matter of his serious illness and find other excuses to cover it up."
"As long as the news is not leaked, it shouldn't be a problem to temporarily control Beifu."
"However, Aweng is also worried that the situation at Jingkou has changed, and he wonders whether Zhiyuan can successfully complete the matter."
It turned out that she wanted to inquire about Wang Mi's prestige in Beifu. Minghui nodded and gradually understood.
She thought carefully, searched through her few related memories, and quickly got the answer.
"Aweng, in my opinion, there should be no problem."
"So sure?"
"certainly!"
"Aweng, don't forget. I met Zhiyuan in Jingkou at the beginning. I still have some understanding of his performance in the army."
"Although I didn't stay in Jingkou for long at that time, in my opinion, the biggest advantage of Wang Zhiyuan is that he has never been a stubborn person."
"He will never go head-to-head with Liu Laozhi. I think he will make a judgment based on the situation."
