"You will never be able to be so magnanimous. It's better to tell the truth as soon as possible!" Xie An said openly.
Mr. Xie has always been the most tolerant. Young people care about face. He knows very well, and he also knows that without his repeated permission, Wang Mi may not dare to speak his mind directly.
So, he gave him another chance.
This is an absolute preferential treatment that no one else can ask for.
It is a pity that Wang Shilang did not cherish such an opportunity.
The two of them are now in a complete chicken-and-duck situation, and they can't get along with each other. As for Wang Mi, he just wants to reassure Xie An. So far, he has no interest in controlling Beifu.
As long as he can continue to lead troops to fight, nothing is a problem. The commander-in-chief seal can be given to anyone. Anyway, commanding an army, strictly speaking, does not require this at all.
For a general like Wang Zhiyuan who already has a high prestige in Beifu, as long as his people show up at Jingkou, it is enough to give orders to all directions.
Shuaiyin's fake thing is just a decoration and cannot be linked to actual control.
If Xie An wants Beifu to remain in his hands, at least in name, that's okay.
Wang Mi is not so fussy, his ambition is very lofty!
As for Xie An, his intentions seemed not to be conveyed to Wang Mi very well.
Therefore, the old man was also very embarrassed.
"Zhiyuan, I know that the appearance of Beifu today is all due to you. You don't have to refuse anymore. What does Liu Laozhi mean?"
"I think back then, when he was working with Youdu, his ability was not as good as Youdu's. If I wanted Beifu to be better, how could I leave Beifu to him?"
"You, a great hero of Beifu, can't see such a situation!"
This is indeed the truth. Who can watch Beifu decline as soon as it rises?
Liu Laozhi, he really can't do it.
It is possible to lead troops in daily drills and conduct small battles, but that can only go so far. He will definitely not be able to command large-scale battles. He has not even studied how to command large-scale battles.
Handing the Beifu soldiers to him would be tantamount to self-destruction. Xie An is not that stupid, and he is not that selfish.
You won't be like Wang Gong, who only considers everything from his own perspective, only wants to be proud of himself, and doesn't care about anything else.
Speaking of which, this is the difference between putting real effort into it and just using your mouth.
For Wang Gong, she has no feelings for the Beifu army. It is just a military force that can be used easily.
All he cares about is who controls this army and whether it can be used by him. As for the construction of the army, he has never cared about it.
In fact, he had always been messing around in the central court. He had never led troops in a battle and was not familiar with military matters.
It can be foreseen that if the Beifu soldiers are handed over to him, they will definitely decline day by day, and the situation will definitely not be better than the current situation.
For his own selfish desires, he doesn't care about the life and death of Beifu.
And what about Xie An?
He does not have such a vicious heart. This is due to the difference in personal character. Xie An is a kind person to begin with, and he has never been a person with selfish desires.
He also couldn't do something stupid like destroying the entire Beifu team just to gain his own strength.
Secondly, after all, Beifu is his own hard work, how can he just watch it decline?
This is one of the reasons why Xie An has always tolerated Wang Zhiyuan, even though many of this boy's behaviors are already very inappropriate.
But the most important thing is that he is a general who is beneficial to Beifu.
His knowledge, ability, and courage can all lead Beifu to go further and better.
No one can match this.
"Zhiyuan, since you said that, I won't be polite."
"There are some things that really need to be explained clearly now."
"At this stage, I really can't make up my mind to hand over all of Beifu to you. It's not that time yet, so you have to wait for a while."
"We'll see how the situation develops."
What?
What is Lao Xie talking about?
This conversation was completely different from what Wang Mi had imagined.
Why did Wang Mi bring up the issue of handing over power even though he didn't mention it himself?
Could this be Mr. Xie’s trap?
Even if it is a trap, it doesn't matter. What else can be done, it is impossible for him to hand over power anyway, and the current Beifu is definitely not something that can be controlled by just replacing Wang Mi and quickly pulling in someone else.
Xie An should also know this very well.
Let’s listen to what the old man wants to say!
What made Wang Mi very satisfied was that Xie Gong, who was always slow and not in a hurry for anything, spoke very happily this time.
"Currently, there is only one thing I can do, and it will help both you and Beifu."
"From now on, the relationship between Beifu and Beifu will only be nominal. I will no longer participate in any affairs of Beifu. Any actions of Beifu will be decided by you, Wang Zhiyuan, alone. You no longer need to report to me."
Shocking!
If there is one word that can perfectly describe Wang Mi's current mood, it is it, and it is the only one!
He stood up excitedly and couldn't believe his ears.
"Mr. Xie, are you serious?"
"From now on, the Beifu will be handed over to me?"
Wang Mi's shocked face appeared in front of him, and Xie An returned to his smiling expression, just like a kind elder.
"certainly!"
"When did I ever tell a lie?"
That’s right!
When Xie An was talking about serious matters, he had such a calm expression and indifferent tone. This was no different from the way he looked when he was about to hand over the management of Beifu to Wang Mi.
So, this means that this is true?
"Xie Gong, I really don't know what to say."
"Personally, I am extremely grateful. Mr. Xie also knows that I have no other thoughts in commanding Beifu. I just want to take advantage of the favorable situation to recapture more towns in the north. That's all."
"I am not greedy for power, but I am also worried that if Beifu is handed over to other people, the newly gathered combat effectiveness will quickly collapse. In that case, wouldn't it give opportunities to foreign races, and even the many efforts made in the past will be lost?"
All in vain.”
"Although I think so in my heart, I also know very well that Beifu was created by Xie Gong. I should consider Xie Gong's ideas and respect them."
"Now, Mr. Xie thinks so highly of me, how can I not rise up?"
Suddenly, the change happened so fast that Wang Mi was at a loss as to what to do. It seemed that nothing he could say could express all his thoughts.
He could only keep saying thank you, as if this would make him feel less guilty and make Xie An feel better.
Xie An stood up, patted his shoulder, and advised: "Good son-in-law, this has been decided, you don't need to have any doubts anymore."
"Just develop Beifu and take back the important towns in the north. This is what you need to care about. As long as you can accomplish these things, what if I give up my position completely?"
Wang Mi was startled, but Xie An smiled.
He passed Wang Mi and walked towards the door. He gently opened the door and let in the sunshine and breeze.
Xie An opened his arms as if to welcome the new world.
"You have to know that I never wanted to be an official in the court before. When I was forty years old, I was still wandering among the mountains and rivers. If it was not for the needs of the family, I would not participate in anything in the court."
"Since I didn't care at the beginning, I don't care about it now either. I have never cared about controlling the Beifu."
"If there was any aggressiveness in the past, it was because we couldn't give up Beifu to those losers."
"But, Zhiyuan, you are different."
Xie An turned around, feeling very excited.
"You are capable and ambitious. Although you are beautiful and have always seemed like an idle person, after getting to know you more deeply, I can conclude that you are not an ordinary person."
"You are trustworthy."
"You are also capable of leading the Beifu soldiers."
"In this case, what do I have to worry about? All I hope is that all my hard work will not go to waste. With you, Beifu will have a bright future, so I feel relieved."
If Wang Mi was doubtful just now, now he is completely relieved.
No doubts whatsoever.
Repeatedly expressing his position and saying the same words before and after, this shows that what Xie An said was completely sincere and did not mean to deceive in the slightest.
What else is there to say?
Wang Mi bowed and saluted. No matter what the future holds, Xie An is absolutely admirable at this moment. Xie An accepted it happily and helped Wang Mi up.
"Well, even if I ask you to come over, these are the things I want to talk about. Now that we have finished talking, there is no need to say more."
"Hurry up and find Minghui, she is still waiting for you!"
oh!
Speaking of Xie Minghui, Xie An suddenly stopped Wang Mi again.
Someone was planning to apply oil on the soles of his feet, but he was suddenly pulled. He was really confused.
What's happening here?
Regret?
It can't be done!
What kind of person is Xie An? He is steady and even-tempered. Wang Mi can bet that he must have thought about everything he said today a few days ago.
The possibility of temporary change of mind is low.
If that's the case, what else can happen?
"Zhiyuan, where is the lady who came back from Xuzhou with you?"
"The one called Green Pearl."
Aha!
Sure enough.
I know that Mr. Xie must have more than that little knowledge of the situation.
Even Lu Zhu's name is known. It can be imagined that Mr. Xie's intelligence network is quite extraordinary.
"Xie Gong, my son-in-law has nothing to do with this daughter. She was just in trouble in Xuzhou City. This woman helped us so that we could walk out of Xuzhou City safely. This woman also offended the coach of Xuzhou City.
Fu Fei."
"So, we can only find a way to bring her out. Of course, this girl was originally a brothel girl. Neither Minghui nor Xie Gong will think highly of her. I know this very well. I just
I just brought him to Jiankang City to escape the danger. I have no other ideas. Now this girl is also living in my brother He Wuji's house."
This last point is the most important. You must make it clear where Luzhu lives. You see, I didn’t take that brothel girl home. She is at my brother’s house!
Xie An chuckled: "I know this."
"You don't dare to take that woman home without me reminding you. However, although I believe you, I still have to remind you."
"This girl can't stay for a long time. You'd better place her somewhere else earlier and don't have too much to do with her."
"So as not to hurt Minghui's heart."
Wang Mi nodded: "This is natural."
"I know it well."
Having said that, things are still very complicated.
Wang Mi did not leave in a hurry, but looked at Xie An deeply, deeply.
Your good granddaughter even said she wanted to see Luzhu!
Should this be said or should not be said?
He thought about it carefully and decided to forget it! Why bother looking for that person?
Wang Mi walked out of the main hall of Xie's Mansion with a completely new look on his face. This was really a turn that he never expected.
How is this possible?
Xie An, the last powerful official in the Eastern Jin Dynasty who had controlled the Jiankang court for twenty years, actually transferred power to Wang Zhiyuan so easily!
Wang Mi never expected that things would develop so smoothly.
Before meeting Xie An, he had made many assumptions. He imagined that Xie An would deliberately make trouble and demand that he hand over the military power of Beifu.
He imagined that Xie An would send a signal asking him to resign.
He still had the idea that although Xie An gave him a step and allowed him to continue to lead Beifu, his control over him would be further deepened.
From now on, he must know everything about Beifu and make no mistakes.
In Wang Mi's view, perhaps reaching this last level is already the best compromise. For both parties, at this stage, this is tolerable.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Xie gave him all the power with a wave of his hand, and even told him that he could decide everything by himself in the future and there was no need to ask him for instructions!
Not only is there no need for endless detailed reports, but even the letters that were reported once in the past period are saved.
Is this... the halo of the protagonist?
…………
Wang Shilang was very proud of the spring breeze, but on the other side, Wang Aning was not so proud.
Others have made great achievements and gained military power, and it can be said that they have everything they want. But some people, such as Wang Aning, just don't go well and even drink cold water and have diarrhea.
Didn’t we agree not to meet each other?
Why do we need to meet again?
Is there any difference between today and yesterday?
Why did you say you didn't want to see me yesterday, and why did you suddenly let people into the palace early in the morning today?
What's the fuss about?
Although I was not convinced, since I could enter the palace, I couldn't waste the opportunity.
Wang Gong is not doing it for himself, he is doing it for Wang Zhiyuan!
I want to see what this guy and the girl said!
You must not let your girl be deceived by Wang Mi!
How could there be no movement at all?
This is not normal, this is absolutely not normal!
Wait for Lao Wang to come forward and find out!
So, Wang Shilang was busy in the Xie Mansion, and here, in the Taiyuan Prince's Mansion, Wang Aning was not idle either. He went straight to Jiankang Palace without even taking a bite of breakfast...
