"I understand everyone's feelings, but this matter still depends on His Majesty's decision. What Your Majesty said is very reasonable. Since the Huan family took charge of Jingzhou, they have generally done their best. Now that the Di Qin army is pressing down on the border, the imperial court
We must cooperate sincerely internally. Regardless of what happens to Huan Chong, at least the Jingzhou soldiers are still led by the Huan family. What will the Huan family think of dealing with Huan Chong at this time?"
Xie An opened his mouth and said everything that Sima Yao was embarrassed to say.
Wang Gong was speechless for a moment. Xie An was indeed a veteran, and the issues he mentioned were ones that Wang Gong had never considered at all.
Of course, he didn't even bother to think about it.
In short, it is right to suppress the Huan family.
"What Mr. Xie said is absolutely true. Aning, when you mentioned this matter in front of Mr. Xie, are you dissatisfied with His Majesty's decision?"
"This...this..."
Wang Gong stuttered, and Yuan Yuezhi's words were like a sharp sword piercing his heart, making him unable to answer at all.
Throughout the ages, being disrespectful to the emperor and questioning the emperor's decisions have been taboos for ministers. Although the emperors of the Jin Dynasty had no say, they were still manipulated by powerful ministers on a daily basis.
But being disrespectful to the emperor is still a good sword. As long as someone is willing to use it, it can still be a weapon to question political opponents.
Wang Gong panicked. Now he wanted to slap himself in the face and tell you to talk too much. Just dig your own hole and jump out of it!
"Xie Gong, that's not what I meant!"
Although he was caught, Wang Gong would not sit still and wait for death. He stammered and asked Xie An for help. Before Xie An could speak, he was intercepted by Sima Daozi.
"A-Ning, actually you don't have to be like this. When I mentioned this matter to His Majesty that day, weren't you also dissatisfied?"
"Now that I say this, I would like to praise you for being consistent."
What kind of people are these weird people?
Seeing Yuan Yuezhi and Sima Daozi singing and working in harmony, Wang Gongcai suddenly realized that now, Yuan Yuezhi had been completely won over by the Sima family and became their minion. His in-law had long been thrown aside.
He was confused, how could he not see it until today? If he had seen it earlier, he would not have been embarrassed in front of the two of them.
Wang Gong regretted that he was stuck in the same place and really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. He looked so pitiful that Xie An couldn't help but feel pity for him.
"Everyone, please stop arguing. It's all my fault. Today is my birthday banquet. I shouldn't have mentioned the matters in the court in the first place."
"Aning, please sit down and eat some good food. Just follow His Majesty's instructions."
Good guy!
This old man had stirred up trouble and now rushed out to pretend to be a good person. Sima Daozi quietly observed Xie An's every move and finally came to the conclusion that Jiang is still hotter with age.
How could Sima Daozi let Xie An take all the benefits?
He picked up the wine flask and filled a glass of wine for Wang Gong.
"A Ning, Mr. Xie is just asking. You are too serious. It's nothing serious. Let's have a drink!"
Wang Gong took the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. Although he had already seen that Sima Daozi was trying his best to dig a hole for him, it would be unwise not to continue if someone could help him step down at this time.
On the contrary, Wang Gong now has some opinions about Xie An, what?
After receiving a big gift from the Sima family, do you think you’ll look down on my Wang Gong’s gift?
Is that why you are stumbling upon me?
People are not self-aware, and this is how they behave. Although Xie An also deliberately stirred up trouble, if he, Wang Gong, had not been unconvinced and asked questions, the matter would not have evolved to this point.
Wang Gong only knows how to blame others, but does not know how to find problems in himself. It is conceivable that Wang Gong will never end well in the future.
Xie An came out to maintain the situation in vain, but Wang Gong didn't appreciate it at all and even hated him. Not to mention, there was someone who was more troublesome at this banquet.
That is undoubtedly Yuan Yuezhi!
The Wang family, the Xie family and the Sima family are always a struggle between aristocratic families. This kind of struggle has a kind of inertia. It is uninterrupted, but it also fights and stops. It will not be entangled in one thing endlessly.
Not decent at all.
Yuan Yuezhi was different. He had been suppressed by several major families for a long time. He had already had enough. Now he finally seized the opportunity and found his thigh. How could he not fight with all his strength?
He hadn't even taken a few bites of the food before he could taste the sugar cakes carefully prepared by Xie An for the ministers.
Soon, he remembered a person who could stir up trouble.
Under the auspices of Xie An, everyone should eat and drink. Even Sima Daozi began to hold the wine jar and not let go.
Wine is his best friend. None of these old traitors in the court can be trusted.
Yuan Yuezhi cleared his throat, stood up suddenly, and came to Wang Gong.
When Wang Gong saw him, he immediately put up a warning, don't harm me!
leave me alone!
Every step of the way leads to wisdom. Wang Gong held on to his glass of wine and was determined not to give Yuan Yuezhi a chance to dig a hole.
It's a pity that Yuan Yue is only interested in causing trouble, and Wang Gong can't avoid it just by pretending to be stupid.
One moment, Yuan Yuezhi was toasting Wang Gong, and the next moment, he picked up the topic again: "A Ning, your old friend Wang Mi should have arrived in Xiangyang now."
Wang Aning tried to swallow the sip of wine but couldn't. It was stuck in his throat and he almost lost his breath.
"What do you mean?"
"What does Wang Mi's matter have to do with me?"
At this moment, Wang Gong died unjustly, and Wang Mi wanted to surrender to the Beifu Army. This matter was never mentioned to him. He slapped his butt and left poor Wang Gong to suffer in the court.
If everyone in this court is bad, then Wang Mi is also the worst among the bad guys!
What a heinous crime!
Before Sima Daozi could explain his intention, Wang Gong had already scolded Wang Mi ten times in his heart.
Wang Gong's face turned green and purple for a while, and the color changed very quickly. Yuan Yuezhi looked at his embarrassed look, and his dark psychology was greatly satisfied.
"Of course it has something to do with you!"
"Wang Mi, wasn't he sent to Jingkou by you?"
"He didn't return without any reason and went to Xiangyang on his own initiative. Shouldn't you be responsible?"
Wang Gong was so unhappy that he couldn't express his sorrow. He was so angry that straw grew on his head and abscesses formed on the soles of his feet.
It's really strange. Wang Mi is a big man. He has done something wrong. Shouldn't he be responsible for it? Everything he does must be blamed on him.
"Yuan Yuezhi, if you really can't stand it, you can wait until Wang Mi comes back and settle the score with him, and don't make things difficult for me!"
Wang Gong pointed at Yuan Yuezhi's nose and cursed, "No one is easy to mess with. Isn't it just a fight?"
Who is afraid of whom?
The worst case scenario would be to compete in the Xie Mansion!
Let Xie Anshi be the referee!
The scene was once again chaotic. Sima Daozi was holding the wine jar and his mouth was full of joy. Okay, let's start a quarrel!
Sima Daozi was a bad guy, he would get into trouble wherever it happened, lest the world would not be in chaos. He wished that several important families would turn against each other and never interact with each other till death.
It's best if you fight me and I fight you, fight to the death!
At that time, our Sima family will be able to compete with the snipe and the clam to make a profit.
