Chapter Nine hundred and forty seventh: Back to her natal home
"Ayu, after this Northern Expedition, I will stay in Jiankang City for a while. You and Yuezhi's help are indispensable for many things. Don't alienate me just because I have some small achievements.
"
"We are always brothers."
Fan Ning was slightly startled and a little doubtful.
Wang Mi would say this. He had already expected it. Since he let him in, he recognized him as a friend.
How could it be possible to say such heartless words?
However, Wang Mi was actually afraid that the two of them would alienate him, which was really beyond his expectation. Logically speaking, the current Wang Shilang was no longer the former Wang Shilang.
The prestige and power were so great that they were second to none even in the Jiankang court. Ministers like them had long been reduced to mere followers.
Only Wang Mi is willing to pay attention to them, and they are not willing to pay attention to Wang Mi. What is alienation?
How could they take the initiative to alienate Wang Shilang?
"Zhiyuan, of course that won't happen. We all support you. If you need anything, just ask."
"As long as our brothers can do it, we will definitely do our best." Fan Ning talked while stroking his already sparse goatee.
Trying my best, this kind of word is really too humble. You must know that they are also important officials of the court, and there is absolutely no need to have such an attitude with Wang Mi.
To be so humble and withdrawn feels like a falsehood.
Fortunately, Wang Mi understood his character. If he were a suspicious person, he would have beaten the snare drum secretly.
"Ayu, there's no need to say that, I'm still bothering you."
Since Fan Ning said it so sincerely, it would be unreasonable not to give him a chance. It just so happened that Wang Mi did have something to ask of this university scholar.
Fan Ning took a sip of tea, squinted her eyes, and waited for Wang Mi to speak. Wang Mi, on the other hand, was not in a hurry and chatted leisurely while resting.
Originally, this was not something to worry about, or even dispensable. Now it is just to reassure good friends.
"Actually, it is such a matter. I think it is most appropriate to leave this matter to you, Ah Yu. If you don't come to the door, I will go to you after today and have a good discussion."
"oh?"
"Is it related to me? Tell me quickly!" Fan Ning's dim eyes lit up immediately.
Unexpectedly!
And when my old fan comes into play!
Hum!
Come on, come on, come on, let me show my skills, let these shameless scoundrels in the court see how powerful I am!
Wang Shilang really had a task to give to Lao Fan, and he was not trying to trick him, so he didn't feel guilty at all under Lao Fan's expectant eyes.
"Ayu, I plan to hold a prisoner dedication ceremony in the city in a few days. I will personally present the surrendered troops of Di Qin to Your Majesty, and let the people of Jiankang City see the excitement. This matter is of great importance.
I have already made it clear to the Queen Mother, and she also supports it. However, the idea is a good one, but I really have no idea how to implement it."
"I know that the prisoner presentation ceremony has existed since ancient times and has a fixed method. However, I do not have a deep study of ancient books, especially etiquette and ceremonies, and I am not proficient in them. But, Ah Yu, you are very familiar with this aspect.
Very understanding."
"You are also an expert, so I would like to ask you to work out the various procedures of the ceremony. In this way, our ceremony will be more dignified."
"OK!"
"Very good!"
"You are right, I am the best at this kind of thing!"
Oops, this guy knows him so well, how could he suddenly think of such a suitable job?
Isn't this being sent to his Lao Fan's arms?
Yes!
For such ancient festivals, rituals, and rules, it's no problem to find him, Lao Fan, who is the best at it.
"No problem, leave it all to me. I'll write down all the rules and give them to you first. You can see if there is anything that needs to be changed."
"By the way, you can also call Yue Zhi. He is very free now and can help me."
"Of course you can. If you need any people or books, just ask me and I can help you prepare them. You just have to rest assured and complete this ritual well. It must comply with the ancient system."
"You don't have to worry about money, I won't make it difficult for you."
"I understand, I understand."
"Zhiyuan, you are trustworthy. There is no problem at all. Leave this matter to me, so you can rest assured."
Just do what you say, Mr. Fan is not the kind of person who dawdles, especially when he encounters an errand that he is good at, he is more energetic than anyone else.
Wang Mi hadn't gotten up to see the guest off yet, and had no intention of letting him leave. He even called a boy to prepare dinner.
After all, he is his brother. He has come here, so how can he let him go without paying attention to the food? It is really inappropriate to go on an empty stomach.
It's not the way to treat guests.
Unexpectedly, before he could explain clearly, Fan Ayu picked up his butt and walked away, running very fast.
This really... saves trouble.
When did Lao Fan become so considerate?
Of course, Lao Fan ran fast here, not because of urgent urination or diarrhea. Lao Fan is also a person who wants to do business!
Don't look down on people!
…………
The turmoil in the palace gradually subsided, because the soldiers of the Beifu army returned to the city after a great victory. Wang Zhenying issued a decree on behalf of His Majesty, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty granted him three days of rest.
Now, everyone can have a good rest, and some disputes can be alleviated slightly, at least, they will not break out immediately.
Although there is no need to worry about the affairs of the court for the time being, Wang Shilang, who has just returned to the city, cannot take time off.
There are still many people he has to deal with.
Of course, many of them cannot be ignored at all, and even he has to rush to flatter them without hesitation.
who is it?
With such a great reputation, it is possible for Wang Shilang, who has made extraordinary achievements, and General Wang, who controls the most powerful combat power in the entire Jin Dynasty, to come to greet you in person?
Of course it was Xie Gong and Xie Anshi who were the actual behind-the-scenes controllers of the Jin Dynasty!
A double-coiled carriage stopped in front of the Xie Mansion. People who were familiar with the scenery of Jiankang City could know their identities without looking at the faces of the people coming.
It must be Wang Zhiyuan from the Langya Palace, and Wang Shilang is here!
Just because, even though Wang Shilang has fought countless victories and captured many northern towns, horses, an indispensable means of transportation, are still a rarity in the prosperous Jiankang City.
Definitely not everyone can have it. The main reason is that those important towns in the north are still far away from the grassland.
After we capture the authentic northern towns of Chang'an and Luoyang, there will be more horses here.
However, that is only a distant goal. Now, the Beifu soldiers who have captured Yecheng need a long-term rest and recuperation, and they are unable to fight again in the short term.
Therefore, those cities can only be temporarily kept in the hands of foreign races, of course, only for a very short period of time.
When the time comes, Wang Shilang will once again mount his horse and whip his whip, crossing the river!
But now, instead of showing off his majesty on horseback, the smug and ambitious Wang Shilang was standing on Wuyi Lane in front of the Xie Mansion.
He is also holding his wife, Xie Minghui, by his side.
"Zhiyuan, when will you bring Madam Lvzhu for me to meet?"
The couple officially reconciled yesterday and returned to a state of closeness and love.
However, just because he has recovered, it does not mean that Xie Minghui does not care about this matter, as long as he does not see Lu Zhu.
As long as this matter is not completely resolved, this thorn will always be stuck in her heart, and it will pop out and prick her from time to time.
"Madam, today is a good day to return to your parents' home. Can't you not mention this matter?" Wang Mi was speechless. He tightened her hand and persuaded her kindly.
Xie Minghui said angrily: "What's wrong?"
"You can't even mention it, but you still feel sorry for her?" Even though she knew that was not the case, Xie Minghui still had to say this.
It's obvious that this is jealousy.
What does Lu Zhu look like over there? He doesn't even know how many moles are on his face, but he is so angry. Is this normal?
If you spread the word, wouldn't it make people laugh?
"My wife is bullying me again. How can I feel sorry for her? I have already made it very clear to my wife about what happened that day, and she also said she is considerate. It has only been a day, why are you starting to turn over old scores?"
"Besides, you know what happened that day. Even if he is not a soft-hearted woman, but a loyal man, who helped us get out of trouble, I can't just watch him fall into danger."
"Think about it for yourself, that day, even if you were at the scene and such a strange woman saved you, with your personality, you can't just sit idly by!"
Xie Minghui kept her lips pursed, waiting for her to finish speaking and was about to refute, but in the end, she couldn't say anything.
Wang Mi's words spoke to the depths of her heart. They were much more useful than yesterday's nagging and simply talking about them.
yes!
What if it were Xie Minghui instead?
If she encountered that kind of thing and stayed in such a dangerous place, and there was such a woman who came to her rescue, no matter whether she took the initiative or not, she would still be saved.
If, because of saving her, she would be in deep danger or even lose her life, wouldn't it be unfair? And if, at this time, Xie Minghui had a chance to save her, what would she do? What would she do?
s Choice?
Of course it’s the same choice!
How can you watch a beautiful woman in trouble?
What's more, such a tragic thing as losing one's life is even more unacceptable!
"alright!"
"Stop talking, come in quickly, Aweng is still waiting!"
Oh, you can't defeat him, so you plan to cheat. It's a good trick. Wang Mi saw through it all, but he didn't want to expose the lady.
After all, a little girl who loves to be jealous and bravely defends her own interests is so cute.
Wang Mi didn't like that kind of old-fashioned woman who only knew how to be dignified and generous, never said anything out loud, and just tolerated everything.
What's the point of that?
Just a living Bodhisattva!
However, when it comes to Xie family Aweng, Wang Mi also has a headache.
Ever since he returned to Jiankang City, today's meeting was inevitable. Wang Mi had already made preparations, and was always ready.
Either he rushed ahead and went to see Xie An first, or Xie An couldn't wait any longer and took the initiative to invite him.
Anyway, this experience is inevitable.
However, compared to the Queen Mother Wang Zhenying, it is obvious that Xie An is a more troublesome existence.
Although there was not even a single white hair on Xie An's head, Wang Mi could already foresee that the scene would not be harmonious during this meeting.
It will definitely be very ugly.
After the Battle of Yecheng, many things could no longer be concealed. The first one to bear the brunt was the issue of the ownership of the Beifu soldiers.
Is your surname Xie or Wang?
Before the Battle of Yecheng, this did not seem to be a problem, or in other words, it had always been a problem, but at that time the conflict was not intense and it was still tolerable.
After all, Wang Zhiyuan was able to take charge of the Beifu soldiers because he was entrusted by Xie An. Xie An personally handed the Beifu soldiers into his hands.
Originally, Wang Mi's level would not rise so quickly. After all, there was his father-in-law Xie Xuan in front of him.
If Xie Xuan is here, this team will have to be named Xie. He, Wang Mi, is just a young general who relies on his father-in-law to hang out in Beifu, so he just hangs with him.
So what if I can fight well again?
With Xie Xuan here, it would be impossible for Xie An to officially hand over the Beifu soldiers to Wang Mi. If a capable man named Xie is not used, will he trust someone named Wang instead?
Isn’t that self-destruction of the Great Wall?
However, the situation is completely different now.
Xie Xuan bid farewell to the stage of history completely, and Wang Zhiyuan completely took control of the Beifu soldiers. All of this must have exceeded Xie An's expectations at first.
Xie Xuan is not very old. According to Xie An's estimation, there is absolutely no problem in persisting for a few more years. As the older generation, he will sit here. In ten years, the younger generation of the Xie family will grow up, and there will definitely be some of them.
Talents that can be used.
By that time, Xie An has also retired, and Xie Xuan has secured his position. At this time, he can easily promote the new generation of the Xie family, and the power of the Xie family will be more stable.
However, all these ideas came to nothing after Xie Xuan passed away.
The new generation disappeared, and the old generation passed away. To be honest, the elderly Xie An was also caught off guard.
In a critical moment, what can he do?
We can only let Wang Mi take the top spot. After all, he is his son-in-law and is more reliable than others.
Therefore, at that time Xie An also relied on Wang Mi wholeheartedly.
However, today is different from the past. What we did back then was only a temporary expedient. Neither Xie An nor Wang Mi expected that there would always be harmony between them.
Beifu has such a hot department and a powerful army. Who can not be greedy? Who can watch such a team being delivered into the hands of others.
Of course you have to fight for it!
What's more, Xie An has the qualifications to compete for this team. After all, he laid the foundation of Beifu.
He is an old-timer.
However, it is obvious that even if you are an old-timer, that is a thing of the past. Now, everyone from the generals to the soldiers in the Beifu Mansion obey the orders of one person, and that person is Wang Zhiyuan!
Not Xie.
The team has been led by others, and to be honest, the same team under Xie Xuan was not as brave and good at fighting.
The Beifu army can achieve today's scale and achieve today's impressive achievements. It is not possible to rely on the Xie family, neither Xie Xuan nor Xie An.
