Therefore, based on the above two points, there is no need to put too much effort into military defense, and there is not much finance and taxation to manage. Aren't the courtiers of the Jin Dynasty just free to death, and they can play whatever they want, without anyone taking care of them?
What's more, even if someone wants to, they can't.
The spheres of influence of the families here are very clearly divided, and it can be said that they are clearly divided. Even if the children of the lower-level aristocratic families speak out and write impeachment memorials every day, it is of no use to the children of the big aristocratic families.
Origin means everything. As long as you are born in a cow, almost no one can shake you unless it is intolerable.
This situation is completely different from the later generations of officials who walked sideways in the Ming Dynasty.
If the memorial is submitted, basically no one will be able to participate, and it will embarrass oneself and make countless enemies.
What's more, people who do this are very rare. Looking at it, all the big and small people standing in the court are from major families.
Although the sizes of the aristocratic families are different, in the end they are all in the same circle, and the superficial unity still needs to be maintained.
Besides, what if there is an adulterated memorial?
There are very few serious things.
In addition to criticizing each other, there were also some petty crimes, such as two court officials fighting over a beautiful little nun.
One party first got engaged to a young nun, but unexpectedly, on the way to the wedding, the bride was kidnapped by another family.
They were all waiting to marry a beautiful bride, but they found that the bride had already gone to another house. Unable to swallow it, she filed a complaint with the court.
Or it was some shameful love-murder incident, and it was about Xie Lingyun, the number one superstar in the Southern Dynasty. Back then, the suave Xie Lingyun thought he was charming, but who would have thought that his concubine was actually blind and fell in love with Lingyun's apprentice?
The two of them naturally communicate secretly.
After being discovered by Xie Lingyun, he sent both his concubine and his apprentice to the West. For such a tragic and evil deed, if he reported it to the court, it would only temporarily suspend him from his job.
There is no way to shake him at all.
Xie Lingyun, who was suspended from his job, felt more comfortable. He invited friends all day long and walked around the countryside with a group of followers.
It’s mountain climbing and swimming, so lively.
To a child from a top family like Xie An, a punishment from the court is like scratching an itch without any stinging sensation at all.
Of course, there were important events in the court of the Southern Dynasties, but many of the so-called government affairs were relatively macro and focused on the general direction.
For example, there is another disaster somewhere, there is a need to open a warehouse for relief, and so on.
As for the little things, they are basically the ones mentioned above. As for those who were impeached because of poor performance or corruption and bending of the law, they are rare.
Therefore, even if you commit a serious crime, as long as your family background is good enough, under normal circumstances, the court will not pursue it.
There is no right to investigate. The whole place is divided into sections, which are managed by various aristocratic families. There are too few places that your court can directly manage.
Against this background, the daily work of the Jin Dynasty was indeed quite easy, at least compared to later generations.
Wang Mi could calmly leave all these businesses to Wang Gong to manage, but of course he himself would not just sit back and relax.
In fact, he is much busier than Wang Gong.
In Jiang Workshop, in Jingkou Beifu, he not only has to use his brain, but also his hands. He has the overall command of the entire upgrade of firearms manufacturing.
In the current time period, it is a bit difficult for craftsmen who have never disarmed firearms and do not have basic knowledge to develop the ability to draw inferences from one example to other cases.
Therefore, Wang Mi was required to personally control the entire firearms production process, which was really a hard job.
It is really not an easy task to escape from Jiankang City.
At the very least, judging from the current situation, Wang Gong is also on guard against him. How could he be allowed to return to Jingkou so easily?
That's his lair!
If Wang Zhiyuan is returned to Jingkou at this sensitive time, wouldn't it be equivalent to letting the tiger go home?
Since he couldn't leave for a while, Wang Mi could only calm down his mind first. However, of course, it was better to leave Jiankang City as soon as possible.
The question is, how can I find an irrefutable reason for myself and leave naturally.
From Jingkou to Jiankang, this direction is smooth. In other words, for Wang Mi, he can come back but cannot go out.
Only then did Wang Mi finally realize that as a human being, there are still weaknesses after all.
You simply can't account for everything.
You can't leave secretly while the night is dark and windy!
Wang Shilang fell into deep thought and encountered the biggest problem since traveling through the Jin Dynasty.
Could it be that, please help God, pray to God, let him go back as he came? See if there is a way to go back through time?
On the other hand, Wang Gong, who finally visited Xie An as he wished, returned to his residence, but his condition was not as good as he had originally expected.
It can even be said to be very bad.
The servant in the palace, who was tightly surrounded by that dark aura, could not resist on his own, so he turned around and ran to Xi Hui's mansion.
Xi Hui was invited to the palace.
This is all we can do. Can we still expect Wang Gong to go out in person to visit his old friends?
Impossible!
I don't even have the energy to walk, and I don't even want to step out of the door.
Xi Hui is also very anxious. There are no advanced communication methods in this era. How was Wang Gong's discussion in Xie's Mansion?
finished?
Have you returned home?
Xi Hui, who stayed at home, could get all this news. He was always a quick-tempered person, so how could he sit still?
Seeing that the time was almost up, Xi Hui went out by himself, planning to take the initiative to go to the palace to find out what was going on.
The ox-cart moved slowly, because Wang Gong refused to ride in the carriage. As his closest companion, Xi Hui naturally had to follow.
The street drum has been beating for more than a dozen times, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street. Therefore, the Xi Hui family's ox cart appears more clearly on the empty road.
Not long after the Wang family boy went out, he saw Xi Hui's bullock cart and stopped it without saying a word.
"Xi Sanqi, I've found you!"
"My lord has come back. Please ask Xi San to come and talk to you."
The boy was not polite. One look at Xi Hui's posture and he knew that he was going to the palace. So what are you waiting for? Why don't you get straight to the point?
The boy ran out and when he saw Xi Hui, he jumped onto his bullock cart.
"How is Aning?"
"It seems that things were not handled properly?"
Xi Hui is not stupid either. Can't you see this little thing?
If Wang Gong had done his job well, this boy's face would never be as white as paper.
The boy shook his head: "Maybe it didn't go well. When the master came home, his face was very gloomy. We didn't dare to ask more questions. Some of the brave boys stepped forward to inquire, but were scolded by the master.
"
"I don't know what the adults are planning, so I naturally don't know what went wrong. However, I think it's better to call all the adults over and discuss it together. It's better than my master being sulky alone."
powerful."
The young man didn't dare to get too involved in the old men's affairs, so he could only say it carefully. Xi Hui had a bad temper. I didn't know if he would accept it after saying this.
Or will he get angry?
Just grab the boy and start cursing?
The boy raised his head tremblingly and stared at Xi Hui in fear.
The two here are both high-ranking officials of the imperial court. On one side is the lord who has suffered a setback, and on the other side is Xi Hui, who is always known for his bad temper.
He came out to report the news out of kindness, but he didn't want to get himself involved.
"What are you looking at me for?"
"No...it's nothing." The boy was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
No!
Will he be kicked out of the car?
The boy subconsciously grabbed the car window, fearing that Xi Hui would lose control of his temper and his life would be in danger.
Xi Sanqi, spare the little one!
This sentence turned over in his heart several times and he was about to say it. The atmosphere in the small carriage was extremely tense!
"I'm afraid this matter will cause trouble."
Huh?
Why is this a sigh?
He didn't yell to fight or kill him, nor did he kick him out of the car?
The resolution of the matter was so smooth...
Wang Aning and Wang Zaifu, who stayed in the palace without leaving or taking a step forward, were still completely unaware of everything happening on the street.
"How is this possible?"
"Is it possible that God is deliberately going against me?"
He walked to the courtyard, looked at the moon hanging high in the sky, and sighed with regret.
He now knows what it means to have a perfect year.
It can be seen that everything in life cannot go as planned, even if Wang Gong is so noble.
I rushed to the door excitedly, but regretfully returned home.
Fortunately, Wang Zhiyuan went to attend the wedding banquet today, otherwise, if he heard about such tragic events, he would probably laugh out loud.
The teeth fell out all over the floor and I couldn't find them again.
Why don't you go find Aqi and the others now?
He looked up at the sky and saw that it was early winter. It was getting dark early and the moon was out. I was afraid the curfew had already started.
That’s it!
Let’s wait until tomorrow morning to talk about it!
"Lord!"
"Xi Sanqi and General Yin are here!"
Just as Wang Gong raised his legs to go back to his room, he suddenly heard a call and stopped immediately.
What?
Is this coming?
Isn’t this a tacit understanding?
The person who was more tired than Xi Hui was Yin Zhongkan himself.
He was not only tired physically, but also mentally. This kind of tiredness could not be talked about to outsiders, he could only keep it in his heart.
But it couldn't go away for a long time.
The situation has become more and more complex, but it also seems to be getting clearer and clearer. The layer of mystery covering the road ahead seems to be getting shallower and shallower. Right before our eyes, with just a little external force, we can break through the barrier and see it thoroughly.
Truth of halal.
Yin Zhongkan is confident that he stands in front of Xi Hui on this point.
Even more advanced than Wang Gong.
It seems that it is uncertain which way Yin Zhongkan will fall in the future.
So, when the two parties met, everyone else was already chatting, but Yin Zhongkan was very silent and barely opened his mouth.
Wang Gong was still troubled by this afternoon's defeat and was not in the mood to pay attention to Yin Zhongkan's performance.
As long as Xi Hui cooperates, it is enough.
When Xi Hui entered, the boy immediately went to get tea. The servants and maids he met along the way looked at him gratefully when they saw him coming back.
What a hero!
Without his quick response, no one would have had a good time in the past few days!
Although this was a groundless worry of the servants, because when the servant went out to greet Xi Hui, Wang Gong did not vent his anger on the servant and the servants, and everyone was safe and sound.
However, as a slave, it is normal to have this level of worry.
"Aning, what was the result of our meeting today?"
"Looking at you, Mr. Xie must not have agreed."
Wang Gong is here to discuss cooperation. This is very clear to the two people present. However, we still need to ask clearly what should be asked.
Wang Gong sighed, and the infinite melancholy came out again.
"Not only did he not agree, he simply refused."
"How could it be so?"
"He has expressed the intention to cooperate before and has met with you many times. It seems that as long as you bring it up, he will definitely cooperate."
"Now is a good time. You came to the door in person again. Why doesn't he agree?"
I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out at all.
Most people just can't see through the minds of the elderly.
Xi Hui and others were still confused, but Wang Gong was already enlightened.
"This old fox didn't say he agreed or disagreed. He just said a lot of perfunctory words to me."
"Before I could explain it clearly, he said that Beifu is the imperial court's Beifu. It is neither Xie An's Beifu nor Wang Mi's Beifu. It is neither a private soldier of his Xie family nor a branch of the Wang family.
"
"The commander's seal is now in Liu Laozhi's hands. It can be seen that Wang Mi has no selfish motives in leading the troops. He wants to reassure me or something like that."
"Since he said that, what else can I say?"
"I can only return in vain!"
It can be said that Wang Gong didn't stay long at all when he arrived at Xie's Mansion. A quick calculation showed that he only had about half a stick of incense.
It's not that he doesn't want to talk, it's that Xie An doesn't give him this chance.
"How could this be?"
"Isn't he just hiding?" Xi Hui was not a man who could control his temper. He slapped his big hand on the table, making a loud noise.
Wang Gong was so angry that he didn't want to care about him and let him curse in the room.
"This Xie Anshi has always been like this!"
"In this court, he is the only one who is a noble and upright person, and he is the one who pays the most attention to right and wrong. We are just villains striving for fame and fortune!"
"Only he, Xie An, is indifferent to fame and wealth, and we are just green leaves to accompany him!"
Isn’t that the truth?
Since Xie An came out, other ministers in the imperial court have completely lost their luster, and no one pays attention to them at all.
Xie An took over the imperial court as a matter of course and gained the respect of the imperial ministers, basically without any difficulties.
He Xie An has prestige, ability, and most importantly, a big heart.
As the saying goes, anything good in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. The more outstanding Xie An is, the more dirty he is like Wang Gong and others.
Especially after today's experience, Wang Gong's resentment towards Xie An became even stronger.
Wang Zhiyuan handed over all his seals, which was enough to show his attitude. However, Wang Gong was still so unyielding that he even came to the door to discuss cooperation with Xie An.
