"Xie Gong, I'm okay. When I was in the palace, the Queen Mother treated me to some cakes."
"Have you met the Queen Mother?" Xie An's brows jumped and he immediately understood that this was Wang Mi deliberately leaking information to him.
They are all important ministers in the court. Even if there is a family relationship between husband and son-in-law, it has to be ranked behind court politics.
"seen."
"The Queen Mother specially asked me to come there. I was shocked at first."
"This is really beyond my expectation."
"What did you say?"
Before Wang Mi came, Xie An had already known a lot about Sima Daozi's nonsense and was no longer interested in it.
It was expected that Sima Daozi was captured alive. Sun Tai's escape did not seem to exceed Xie An's imagination.
That kind of old fox must have already thought of a way out before the incident happened. When there was chaos, he saw that the situation was not good, so of course he ran away as soon as possible.
However, what surprised Xie An a little was that Sun Tai actually left Sima Daozi behind and did not take him with him.
You know, if Sun Tai wants to make a comeback, in fact, Sima Daozi is still a good banner. Keep this person, and if Sun Tai has the chance to escape to the local area, his appeal will be greatly enhanced.
"The Queen Mother asked me how to deal with Mrs. Pei and Guiren Zhang."
"She wants to hear what Aweng means."
Wang Mi briefly told Xie An his and Wang Zhenying's inferences. Xie An's face became increasingly ugly as he told the story.
"So, you both think that His Majesty's violent collapse is actually a conspiracy of the Tianshi Dao gang?"
"It should be right." Wang Mi nodded steadily and provided another important piece of evidence to Xie An.
"King Langya also admitted that Sun Tai was behind his plan to usurp the throne this time."
"For many years, people from Tianshi Dao have wanted to interfere in the government affairs. Before Sun Tai, Lu Xie also did the same, and almost succeeded."
"It can be seen that the children of these small and medium-sized aristocratic families have united together to compete for power in the court."
"It's just that Lu Chu wanted to fight alone, but Sun Tai was more cunning. He pushed Sima Daozi forward to use him as a shield. In fact, he did all the evil things, but on the surface
But it’s all Sima Daozi’s fault.”
"So, Mr. Xie, I think that Sun Tai and Pei Jiao'er cannot be kept. However, I hear the Queen Mother's intention and seems to be interested in keeping Zhang Guiren's life."
"I can't make up my mind. I would like Mr. Xie to give me some advice."
"Let it go!"
"She is also a pitiful person. Besides, she did not want to harm His Majesty. If we deal with her as well, what will the world think of us?"
"The guilty will die, and the victims will also die. People will say that we don't distinguish between right and wrong."
Lao Xie is awesome!
I really didn’t expect that he would be so broad-minded!
Is this what a famous minister of a generation is like?
What is intentionality and what is negligence? In this age where there is not even a formal law, he can actually tell it clearly and clearly.
"I understand what Mr. Xie means. Early tomorrow morning, I will go into the palace to meet the Queen Mother. I believe the Queen Mother will be very happy to hear this."
Yesterday's enemy, today's friend.
I really don’t know how Zhang Guiren would feel when he heard that it was Wang Zhenying who fished her out on the day she walked out of prison.
"The most important thing now is that Sun Tai's whereabouts have not been found."
Although Wang Zhenying's cakes were at the bottom, Wang Mi couldn't help but eat hot food when she saw it.
Cake, it doesn’t satisfy your hunger!
"I also asked Sima Daozi about it. He is just a fool. He has no idea what Sun Tai did outside the palace."
"Mr. Xie, what should we do if we can't catch Sun Tai in the past few days?"
"Sun Tai probably won't cause trouble again in the short term."
This is not Wang Mi's blind optimism, but a fact.
It is not an easy task to gather a team with a certain fighting capacity. Now the disciples near Jiankang have basically been eradicated by Wang Gong, whether they were killed or persuaded to return
In short, they will not work with Sun Tai anymore.
The Jiankang villagers like them have seen Sun Tai's various performances clearly this time. If Sun Tai wants to gather strength again, there is no need to rely on the areas around Jiankang and Jingkou. He must go further.
Even if Sun Tai returns to his hometown intact, if he wants to regroup, it will take another three to five years.
Jiankang City can maintain a short-term peace!
"I believe that Sun Tai has not escaped from the city. He is in the city. As long as we search carefully, we will definitely find him."
"Why did Mr. Xie say this?"
Where does Lao Xie’s confidence come from?
Wang Mi knew that Xie An was not a bluffing person. The fact that he could say this proved that he was indeed confident.
Xie An laughed and drank the wine in one gulp.
"intuition."
Who would have thought that Xie An, who has always been confident, would actually say such amazing words!
If intuition really exists, please ask Mr. Xie to show the soldiers a clear path and tell them where to find Sun Tai.
Of course Mr. Xie has no such ability, he just has a basic understanding of Sun Tai's abilities.
If this old man is really capable, he has been in Jiankang City for a while. How come he hasn't accomplished anything?
It seems that some things cannot be said like this. After all, they killed the emperor of the Jin Dynasty.
To end up in such a happy situation, all thanks to the old man.
Ministers and princes, shouldn’t you be grateful?
How could they still search the city and try to kill them?
Isn’t this repaying kindness with evil?
"Xie Gong, Wang Aning Bingzheng, what exactly do you think?"
"Really?"
"Or hibernating temporarily?"
Wang Mi thought that with the arrest of Sima Daozi, the chaos in the court would also come to an end.
It's time to shift your energy to other things.
For example, is the struggle between the Xie and Wang families for power in the court beginning or coming to an end?
It all depends on what the old man in front of you thinks.
"If I don't want to, can you still fight for it?"
this……
It was a little sudden.
Xie An looked at Wang Mi with a smile. Looking at his slightly hesitant face, he probably knew what he was thinking.
The time has not come yet!
"Xie Gong is joking. My son-in-law is still too young. How can I leave important matters in the court in my hands?"
"Besides, my son-in-law has no intention of going to court now. I want to go to Jingkou to lead the troops."
Xie An's face turned serious and he was quite surprised: "You're still leading troops?"
"Didn't you just come back from Jingkou?"
"Could it be that the situation in Jingkou is not under control yet?"
The time was indeed too short. Moreover, according to Wang Mi's previous correspondence, Beifu General Liu Laozhi had previously intended to unite with Sun Tai.
This shows that Liu Laozhi was not restless. He was able to agree not to send troops at that time, which was also the result of Wang Mi's constant persuasion.
Now that Wang Mi has arrived in Jiankang and no one is guarding Jingkou, will Liu Laozhi be quick-thinking again?
"Liu Laozhi's side..."
"Don't worry, Mr. Xie. There is a slave guard at Jingkou. With his ability, he is enough to check and balance Liu Laozhi. Besides, I won't stay in Jiankang for a long time. I still have to go back."
"As soon as Sun Tai fell, Sima Daozi also fell. Liu Laozhi had no backer to rely on, so he would naturally lead the troops honestly in Beifu. For a while, he would not have any other ideas."
Both Xie An and Wang Mi were still worried about Liu Laozhi. The only difference was that Xie An didn't know Liu Laozhi's temperament yet, but Wang Mi still had a long-term relationship with Liu Laozhi.
Know where his bottom line is and what his recent thoughts are.
Now that Wang Mi said this, Xie An was finally relieved.
yes!
Liu Laozhi has no backer.
If that's the case, why bother?
"Since there is no problem with Liu Laozhi, why are you in a hurry to go back?"
It's a good thing for young people to have opinions. Xie An also hopes that Wang Mi can do more practical things, but now he and Huihui are newly married after all.
I always travel between places like this, and I always feel like I owe my granddaughter a debt.
Besides, it's not necessary.
The current situation in the Jin Dynasty has been the best since the southern crossing. Although His Majesty the Emperor unfortunately fell into the street, there has been no fighting on the border for a long time.
For the people living in the territory, it is a rare day of peace and tranquility. As a descendant of a noble family, in such a good day, of course, there is no need to run around, and the most important thing is to recuperate and recuperate.
At least, that's what Xie An himself thinks.
Mr. Xie is getting old, and it would be good for young people like Wang Aning to leave the affairs of the court to him.
If he wants to take care of it, let him take care of it.
"Xie Gong, I'm not worried about Liu Laozhi, I'm worried about the situation in the north."
Old man Xie, has he forgotten how bad the situation in the north is now?
Just because there is no movement from Di Qin, we can't just forget about him. Fu Jian is dead!
Di Qin fell apart in a matter of minutes.
Once the major powers in the north regroup, the border will fall into chaos again.
Now, what Wang Mi is betting on is that with the collapse of Di Qin, the power of several major tribes has been released. When this long-suppressed power is finally released, what will these tribal leaders do first?
Is it an external conquest?
Or attack each other?
Fortunately, according to a lot of information, these tribes are fighting each other.
Di Qin went from an extremely powerful court to a wasteland basically overnight, and the tribes that broke away from it were not prepared.
Most of them brought their own soldiers, horses, and ethnic groups. With so many people, they couldn't support them without a fixed territory.
After the collapse of Di Qin, the first thing they had to do was to redefine their sphere of influence.
Such wars are inevitable, and it is precisely because of this premise that the Jin Dynasty, which lost its leader, can survive the difficult period without any danger.
I have to say that this was the luck of the Jin Dynasty and Wang Mi's luck.
But such luck obviously cannot last long. Now, two months have passed, and those who should return to their ancestral lands have also returned, and the battles between the divided tribes have also entered a stalemate stage.
If Wang Mi's estimate is correct, within a month, these madmen will come back again.
Who will make the first move?
Which area will be shaken?
"Do you want to continue fighting the enemy?"
"Can't wait another moment?"
Young people are really working hard!
Xie An couldn't help but sigh, it's true that there are talents in every generation!
Even if he were Lao Xie, twenty or thirty years younger, he would never be able to do what Wang Mi is.
While feeling emotional, I was also a little worried. If something went wrong if something went wrong with such desperate efforts, wouldn't it be harmful to my granddaughter?
"As soon as possible, it's better to do it as soon as possible."
"Mr. Xie also knows that I have made many new weapons. These weapons are the magic weapons for us to defeat the enemy. Once the frontline war breaks out, it will be too late to transport the weapons to Beifu and other places."
"I will not leave these days. The weapons from the general workshop will be gradually transported to Beifu. During these days in Jiankang, I may go to the general workshop every day to supervise and let the craftsmen rush to make them.
Weapons were transported in batches to various places in the Jin Dynasty."
"good!"
"Now that you've thought about it, let's do as you say."
"I will leave the Beifu soldiers to you. I must manage this army well. This is our foundation."
"Don't worry, Mr. Xie, I know what's going on."
The reason why he actively came to live with Xie An this time was to calm his mind and make him understand that at this stage, he, Wang Mi, was still Xie An's person.
He did not covet the government at all, what he wanted to do was to improve the combat effectiveness of the Jin army.
It can be said that the so-called power held by Wang Gong is only superficial and has no actual support.
In this troubled world, even if you become an emperor, it will be of no use if you cannot command your troops properly and defend the enemy thousands of miles away.
Your city will be captured by the enemy soon, and your throne will not last long, so it is most important to seize your military power.
Besides, Liu Laozhi is not something to be afraid of, but Liu Yu is a huge threat.
Wang Mi really couldn't let go without seeing it in person.
Now, since Xie An has no objection to him going to the local area to lead troops, it is perfect. If he doesn't pave these roads while he is young, why wait until he is old to worry about it?
The time is waiting for no one!
If you don't know how to seize such a good opportunity before your eyes, wouldn't you be a fool?
While Wang Mi and the others were sitting quietly in the mansion, eating wine and admiring the moon, on the street, the new servant Wang Aning was not idle for a moment.
Sun Tai!
Where have you been hiding?
On this matter, it was rare that Wang Gong and Xie An reached a consensus. They both firmly believed that Sun Tianshi would never run out of Jiankang City.
The most dangerous place is the safest place!
Sun Tai must be hiding somewhere in the city.
The most important factor that allowed Wang Gong to make a firm judgment was that Sun Tai escaped alone.
There are no other followers around him, so he basically doesn't have the ability to settle down elsewhere.
For such a lonely old man, his first choice was of course to hide in the city, wait until the news passed, and then find a way to get out of the city.
While you are in hiding, you can also make some preparations for your life in exile.
Therefore, the next few days are very critical.
It can be said that whether we can catch Sun Tai depends on these few days!
