Do you think that Wang Gong, who currently controls the government and seems to be arrogant, has an advantage?
no no!
Of course it’s impossible!
The advantages are all on Wang Shilang's side.
Wang Zhenying saw this very clearly, much more clearly than Wang Gong.
Wang Mi now wants people and money, and he is surrounded by brothers behind him, almost responding to his call.
How can such a person, such a powerful person, be compared to a polished commander like Wang Gong?
It was precisely because I saw this reality that I desperately wanted to take a stand.
Do you think she really works so hard for justice?
Of course this belief exists, but it only accounts for a very small part.
The more important factor is that she can't watch her confused brother fail with her own eyes. And I'm afraid she can't count on Wang Gong to wake up on his own in this matter.
Only Wang Zhenying could take action.
"Now that the Empress Dowager has spoken to this point, I can rest assured. Madam, please rest assured. I will write to Zhiyuan immediately and tell him to obey the imperial court's orders."
Wang Zhenying nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "If Mr. Xie can do this, it will be the best."
"I also know that Zhiyuan and the others have already sent in their battle report and are preparing to return to Jiankang City on time. My statement today is to reassure Mr. Xie and Zhiyuan that everything can be done according to the plan. There is no need to worry or worry.
Wait and see.”
Xie An bowed his head to express his understanding.
He sank for a moment and did not leave in a hurry.
The attitude of the Beifu soldiers also conveyed the Queen Mother's thoughts clearly. So, what about Xie An's own?
It seems it hasn't been made clear yet.
Although today, despite his advanced age, he took the initiative to enter the palace and basically stated his thoughts, but if he did not explain many things clearly, he would leave gaps for the enemy.
If either Wang Gong or Wang Zhenying uses this as a threat to cause trouble in the future, it will be very detrimental to the Xie family.
"Empress Dowager, I have one more thing to say. I don't know whether I should say it or not."
Huh?
While they were talking peacefully, Xie An suddenly became polite.
This is very bad.
"Xie Gong, I want to say something, but there is no harm in saying it."
Xie An nodded. Since she had no objection, it didn't matter to him.
"The Queen Mother also said just now that the Wang and Xie families have been in conflict for many years and are quite discordant. To be honest, this has also interfered with the operation of the government."
"But the situation is different now. The Beifu soldiers have won successive battles and conquered the north. It can be said that it is just around the corner. Personal grudges can also be put aside."
"Yesterday, I attended An Ning's birthday party just to show my attitude. From now on, as long as it is for the good of Jin Dynasty, the good of the court, and the welfare of the people of Jin Dynasty, I will never quarrel with An Ning again.
Contradictions will not stop him from doing many things."
"but……"
Before Xie An explained, Wang Zhenying already understood half of it.
Uh-huh!
Just know that there will be a turning point.
How can this be done without turning around?
Xie An is not a philanthropist, so he can't just suffer losses for himself and give up all his advantages just to maintain the harmony of the Jin Dynasty.
Do not make jokes!
Totally impossible!
Now the advantage lies with others. If they are willing to cooperate, they are already giving in. If you still want to make others suffer, how is this possible?
Doesn’t this mean that the horse will run away and stop eating grass?
Xie Gongde is highly respected, but he is not a horse.
"However, I must also make it clear that the fact that the Beifu army is able to do what it does now is all the result of my son-in-law Zhiyuan and my Xie family. The Queen Mother must be very clear about this."
Wang Zhenying nodded immediately, as obediently as a primary school student.
"Yes, that's what Mr. Xie said."
"Since the Queen Mother agrees, I can say some things."
Wang Zhenying thought to herself: From just now on, you haven’t said anything less!
That's what people are like when they get older. They talk a lot, but they can't get to the main point for a long time, and they are setting the stage here.
It's all useless.
So, I could only nod my head and encourage Xie An to continue.
How could Xie An not know that Wang Zhenying was very anxious, how old was he, what kind of vision he had, and how could he still not see it?
It was just a deliberate attempt to temper her temper.
"Since the Beifu Army has won successive victories under the leadership of my Xie family, even if Zhiyuan comes back, this army will still be in the hands of my Xie family. This cannot change."
"I know that Aning has long wanted to seize the leadership of Beifu. However, it is difficult to say what will happen in the future. But when Beifu has gained momentum in the past few years, I will never let it go."
"I hope the Queen Mother will learn from this."
This is the ultimate goal of Xie An's entry into the palace. Many of the previous preparations were made to make this request fair and just.
Now that the words have been spoken, all of Xie An's intentions are laid out here, and the decision depends on Wang Zhenying.
It can even be said that it is not Wang Gong who can make the decision.
After all, between Wang Zhenying and Wang Gong, Wang Zhenying's words are more useful. Even if Wang Gong is not convinced, there is nothing he can do if Wang Zhenying refuses to cooperate with him.
So, now it’s up to Wang Zhenying.
And Wang Zhenying's current expression can be said to be very complicated.
There was still a smile on her face, but her movements froze. It could be seen that Xie An's speech still had a considerable impact on the young Queen Mother.
Wang Zhenying was indeed touched, greatly.
However, unlike Xie An imagined, she was not thinking about a counterattack strategy, but how to deal with it.
To be honest, Wang Zhenying was very pleased that Xie An could state his request so directly. This showed that her previous words also had an effect on Xie An. At least, he was able to say that all of this was based on
He believed that Wang Zhenying could take charge of the overall situation.
If he didn't believe Wang Zhenying, Xie An would not hand over his trump card. After all, he had the opportunity to tell it during the banquet yesterday.
Tell Wang Gong. The two of them are the ones who really have a grudge. Only by telling Wang Gong can the problem be solved faster and more smoothly.
However, Xie An did not say anything, which showed that he still did not believe Wang Gong.
On the contrary, compared to Wang Gong, in Wang Gong's view, Wang Zhenying is a more trustworthy person.
"I am very grateful that Mr. Xie can tell the truth to me."
Regardless of whether an agreement can be reached or not, this part of thanking each other is still indispensable.
Just like buying and selling is not based on human feelings, it is all a matter of face.
Wang Zhenying is a person with a very good face. At this time, of course, she cannot fall behind.
Xie An also saw that Wang Zhenying was about to make the final decision, so he naturally cheered up and became more confident.
"Mr. Xie, actually, you are really worrying too much. Since I said that just now, it shows that I am a person who can distinguish right from wrong."
"The right and wrong are right there, isn't it clear?"
"Beifu is what it is today because of who it is. I know it very well. How could I hand over such a powerful army to someone who doesn't know how to lead an army?"
"If I had such thoughts, I would never have said those words to you sincerely, Mr. Xie."
"The Beifu soldiers belong to Zhiyuan now and will be led by him in the future. You can rest assured about this."
"You might as well tell Mr. Xie that I am doing this not just for the sake of the Beifu soldiers, but also for the sake of peace in the Jin Dynasty."
"Mr. Xie must have heard about it, too. I persuaded my eldest brother to write another letter to Zhiyuan, so that the army can take some time to return to the city."
"I heard that this is the kindness of the Queen Mother. I am here to thank the Queen Mother for her grace on behalf of the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Beifu."
Xie An handed over his hand, although he may not have meant it sincerely, but in front of Wang Zhenying, the etiquette was still in place.
After all, she is the Queen Mother, so even if she is young, she cannot help but take her seriously.
Moreover, this time, Wang Zhenying's attitude towards Xie An was already very kind, and Xie An also put on the airs of an old-timer.
There is nothing to say about this.
Xie An should also have a good attitude and be considerate and considerate.
"In this case, Mr. Xie should know. I know very well that the reason why Beifu soldiers are so good at fighting is because Wang Shilang leads the troops well. Wang Shilang's prestige in Beifu can be said to be at its peak now."
"Everyone in Beifu trusts him very much and is willing to fight for him. How can I afford to offend such a person?"
"Even if we forcefully separate Wang Shilang and other Jingkou generals from the Beifu soldiers and replace them with a new commander, it will be useless."
"Beifu soldiers probably don't believe anyone except Wang Shilang now."
"Except for Wang Shilang, they will not take orders from anyone. Forcibly changing generals will only make people panic and even go to war. We have just taken back some towns in the north. The situation is so good. At this time, there is internal strife, isn't it?
Destroy the Great Wall yourself?”
"Isn't this self-sacrifice?"
"I, the Queen Mother, have not had enough time! As long as Wang Shilang and others have no doubts about the Jin Dynasty, I will not have any objections."
"The imperial court will support Beifu and its generals, and will not hand over Beifu soldiers to others. We hope that the soldiers of Beifu can continue their efforts to regain more cities and live up to the expectations of the imperial court."
Wang Zhenying talked a lot eloquently, and it can be said that all aspects were taken care of. The most convincing thing is that Wang Zhenying focused on her own interests. As the saying goes, if a person does not serve himself, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth.
If Wang Zhenying were to sit here today and talk about great principles, expound justice, and try to thank Xie An, it would be very untrustworthy.
Xie An would not tell her everything on his mind, nor would he give in.
However, Wang Zhenying made it very clear. She valued Beifu so much, and naturally the Beifu soldiers were really capable, and the court also needed to rely on Beifu soldiers.
But more importantly, if the Beifu soldiers are offended, the entire court will not be safe. As the queen mother of the harem and the nominal head of the Jin Dynasty, this is not the result Wang Zhenying wants to see.
Preventing disputes and maintaining stability are indeed Wang Zhenying's top priorities. Under this background, it seems very credible to leave the Beifu soldiers under Wang Mi's management.
"Since the Queen Mother has explained the matter so thoroughly, I will definitely obey my orders. There is no need to worry about Bei Mansion. Zhiyuan is also a sensible person, so there will be no problems."
Wang Zhenying sighed and nodded, her hanging heart finally letting go.
Perhaps it would be best to go directly to Wang Zhiyuan to discuss some matters, but he is far away in Xuzhou now, and Wang Zhenying cannot see anyone even if she wants to discuss it with him.
Therefore, these are all expedient measures that have no other solution.
In fact, Wang Zhenying was also beating a small drum in her heart. Can Xie An really lead Wang Mi to hit wherever he wants?
Today's Wang Mi is obviously not the Wang Mi of the past. Although the Beifu soldiers are still nominally the Xie family's troops.
But in fact, it was already controlled by Wang Mi.
As long as Wang Mi does not obey Xie An's orders, it is certain that Xie An will have nothing he can do.
And will Wang Mi really be obedient?
Although, current signs indicate that Wang Mi still has no complaints against the imperial court. From Yecheng to Xuzhou, he did not express any dissatisfaction.
The mobilization of Beifu soldiers is completely normal.
There was no problem to be found, and, most importantly, it seemed that Wang Mi did not bring his personal grudges with Wang Gong into official matters.
In fact, Wang Zhenying had reason to believe that Wang Gong didn't even take Wang Gong's provocation to heart. From beginning to end, Wang Gong was the only one who kept jumping around.
However, this is only the best assumption.
No one can tell what is going on inside Beifu, what Wang Zhiyuan and other soldiers are thinking.
There are even no clues at all.
What is certain is that the generals in Beifu will definitely not be honest after the battle in Yecheng.
They have demands on the court.
And what are their requirements?
Their appetite must be huge, but can the weak Jin Dynasty satisfy it?
Wang Zhenying had no clue, and she didn't know whether the pie she drew out of thin air could be accepted by them?
No way!
It’s impossible!
They have already made such great achievements, and it is already a kindness not to show favor to the imperial court. How do you expect them to accept the royal pie?
What's more, it will be a fake pie with no nutrition and no real ingredients, and it will achieve nothing.
There is no doubt that with Wang Zhiyuan's intelligence and sagacity, he is very clear about the court's priorities.
He knows better than anyone whether the things he promised can be fulfilled. What is the so-called taking the overall situation into consideration?
In the current situation, the overall situation belongs to you, the Jin Dynasty, and not to the Beifu soldiers. With the majesty of a great victory, blackmailing the imperial court seems to be a common operation.
It would be strange if Wang Zhiyuan didn't do this.
After controlling such a powerful army and using Beifu as the basis to squeeze out Wang Gong and control the court, Wang Zhenying and Sima Dezong here are no different from orphans and widowers.
Not convinced?
Then let the fight begin!
Can you beat it?
Even if you think about it with your toes, there is no hope.
Definitely can't beat it.
Let's talk about the military forces currently available for mobilization in the Jin Dynasty. Apart from the Beifu soldiers, the only ones are the Jingzhou soldiers.
As for Jingzhou Bing, as we all know, he has always been a good spectator. For so many years, it has been a favor for him not to cause trouble. Do you still expect him to come to the rescue at a critical moment?
It's faster to dream.
Maybe if the Beifu soldiers make an incident, the Jingzhou soldiers will immediately start a riot as well.
At that time, all the rivers up and down, from end to end, will be in chaos. The situation will be much more critical than when Wang Dun rebelled!
