In Jiankang City, there are more than just one or two people who hate Wang Zhiyuan.
"I understand how you feel."
"However, I also have my own ideas. I can't tell you until the time comes."
You actually want to keep it a mystery?
Still no longer brothers!
He Mai showed obvious displeasure, but Wang Mi didn't take it seriously.
No matter what, he couldn't tell Wang Zhenying's secret to his brothers. Otherwise, how could he behave in the presence of the Queen Mother?
This is an absolute secret, the highest level!
"I am absolutely sure now that Aning and the others will not take action in the near future. If you are really too free, why not go to the workshop?"
"The skillful craftsmen have developed two new types of artillery, which are more powerful than the ones we used in Yecheng before. Go and see them."
"By the way, you can also help me supervise the work of the craftsmen."
"You mean, let me be the supervisor?"
He Mai squinted his eyes and had an epiphany.
Wang Mi smiled and said: "That's almost it."
"Although this job is not what you are good at, it is better than doing nothing at home. Besides, you can also touch weapons, which is quite enjoyable."
"Start preparations now, and when the time comes to actually go to the battlefield, you won't be timid at all."
"That's right." He Mai finally agreed to Wang Mi's suggestion, and acted very quickly, raised his buttocks, and ran towards the direction of Jiang's workshop.
"He is still so impatient." As soon as He Mai left, Xie Minghui followed behind.
In fact, she never went far, just staring from behind a wall!
In the past, she would naturally not have participated in the disputes in Wang Mi's court. Now, as a woman, even if she wanted to help, she would have no use.
Secondly, she didn't want to make herself more troubled.
But now, the situation is different.
Seeing that various overt and covert struggles were about to begin in Jiankang City, she, the wife of the Wang family of Langya and the legitimate daughter of the Xie family of Chen County, could not sit back and watch.
No matter whether it is specific participation or making suggestions, you must always have a clear understanding of the current situation.
Xie Minghui is also confident that she will have a different perspective on the problem than Wang Mi and will have better suggestions.
So, just as He Mai left, she walked out from behind the screen wall.
Wang Mi was not shocked at all by the appearance of his wife. As a husband, he knew best what kind of temper his wife had.
"Indeed."
"Amai has always been an activist."
"So, madam, can I take action?"
Minghui was a little surprised: "What are you doing?"
"Going to see Aweng?"
Look, doesn’t she understand this quite well?
Still asking questions knowingly.
"Yes, you see, he has returned to the city now. Regarding his previous meeting with Aning, I have to go and find out what happened."
"Otherwise, I won't feel at ease. Aweng might be waiting for me too!"
Indeed, Wang Mi had an idea. He always felt that Xie An was waiting for him to visit him.
What's more, maybe he went through all the trouble this time just to give him an explanation.
They are all looking forward to this meeting.
"If you want to go, of course you can go."
"However, I advise you that you'd better be prepared. You may not hear anything good from Aweng."
"That's for sure, I'm prepared."
To seize the Beifu soldiers, even if Wang Mi said it more nicely than Hua, it is still useless. If you want to show your sincerity, then hand over the Beifu soldiers!
You refuse to hand it over, no matter how nice you say it, will Xie An be deceived?
Does Mr. Xie seem to be such an easy person to be deceived?
"Do you need my help?" Xie Minghui could not hide the worry in her eyes.
Wang Mi waved his hand: "That's not necessary."
"This is not something that anyone can just change their appearance and solve the problem. As long as Mr. Xie is willing to believe me, even if I don't talk about it, Mr. Xie will not embarrass me."
So on the other hand, if Xie An doesn't believe him, no matter how he defends himself, it will be useless?
What will be the result if you don’t believe it?
What would Xie An do?
Join forces with Wang Gong to put pressure on the court to remove Wang Mi from military power?
Or, detain him in Jiankang City?
Countless thoughts kept flashing through Xie Minghui's mind, none of them were good, they were all bad thoughts.
The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Eventually, she didn’t dare to think about it anymore!
And what about Wang Mi?
This husband did not immediately come to Xie An's house after scaring his wife so much.
Why be so panicked?
It seems to be delivered to your door.
Mr. Xie finally came back from outside the city, so he should be given some time to rest. Wouldn't it be better for everyone to calm down and sort out the chaotic thoughts in their heads?
Besides, who doesn’t have any airs?
Although Wang Mi is a junior, the entire Beifu and even the Jingzhou tribe are standing behind him. The face of the Huan clan and the Langya Wang clan are all carried on his shoulders!
Even if Xie An is his grandson and is highly respected and respected by everyone, he cannot lower his position too low.
Even in the palace of Prince Langya, there are many people who want to save face.
It's just that before, due to various reasons, I didn't dare to say anything.
Just when Wang Mi was about to go back to his house to take a rest, he saw his uncle Wang Hui wandering back and forth outside his courtyard.
Why is it so invisible?
Is he that scary?
"Uncle, what's important?"
"Come in and talk."
If Wang Hui doesn't take the initiative, then only Wang Mi will take the initiative.
They are all family members, so there is no need to worry about face issues.
Wang Hui looked into the room, thought deeply, and finally, under Wang Mi's smiling face, said seriously: "That's fine."
Huh?
You actually agreed?
Wang Mi was surprised. He thought Wang Hui would not agree!
After all, the clan leader also has face. Besides, the things we want to talk about today are very important at first glance. The more important the matter, the more it needs to be discussed in a grand place, right?
Compared with Wang Mi's small courtyard, of course the patriarch's courtyard is more grand.
However, what Wang Hui was thinking at this moment was completely different from what Wang Mi had imagined.
On the contrary, he thought that this was a better place to go.
"Uncle, my nephew has been too busy recently and has not bothered to visit. Uncle, don't be offended." Although he was reluctant, he still had to be polite.
"Zhiyuan, don't say these falsehoods anymore. My uncle came to you today, naturally, to hear the truth from you."
Ah...that's it...
He wouldn't let others sing even before they finished singing. Isn't this a disappointment?
I had prepared so many auspicious words, but they suddenly became useless. I was really disappointed.
"So, what does uncle want to hear?"
"You might as well tell the truth. My nephew will tell you everything he knows."
Just blow it and he will.
Before Wang Mi opened his mouth, Wang Hui knew that he was bragging again.
If you are really so positive, why haven't you seen him and reported to him for so long?
Could it be that, as the clan leader of Langya Wang Clan, Wang Hui is not qualified to ask about his affairs? Besides, what if it is Beifu's affairs?
Could it be that the Wang family has not contributed any money to the development of his Beifu?
The Wang family not only paid out, but also paid a large amount of money. As the patriarch of the Wang family, it was not Wang Hui who should have taken the initiative to ask about these things, but Wang Mi who should have taken the initiative to ask for instructions.
"Uncle, is it for military pay?"
Seeing him in such a dilemma, Wang Mi thought of money.
It's almost time to give Wang Hui an explanation.
Liu Muzhi carefully recorded every account of the Wang family's funding, where it was spent and how much it was spent, without making any mistakes.
Although Wang Mi didn't have a detailed bill, he could give an approximate amount.
Wang Hui waved his hand and said, "I'm not worried about money at all."
"Don't take it to heart either."
Wang Mi was stunned: Don’t talk about money?
What to talk about?
"Then uncle means..."
If you don't talk about money, the problem will be big.
Unexpectedly, before dealing with Xie An, he encountered Wang Hui first.
All right!
If you want to come, come together!
They are all old people anyway. At least, Wang Hui is still one of our own, right?
Even if you don't handle it well, it won't lead to death!
"Uncle wants to ask you, you have been occupying Beifu, what do you want to do in the end?"
It is indeed a very acute question.
Wang Mi did not expect that such a question was not asked from Xie An's mouth, but from the head of his family.
Although Wang Hui is not Xie An, his problems cannot be ignored.
Wang Mi did not answer in a hurry, but thought about it seriously.
"Uncle, no matter what, I must hold Beifu in my hands. This will not change."
"Since you have this determination, uncle will feel relieved."
"Uncle actually supports me doing this?"
This answer is shocking enough.
Wang Mi has always taken it for granted that Wang Hui and other traditional family members are all admirers of the balance of power.
As long as everyone works hard to serve the bowl of water from Dajin, then everyone will have good fruits to eat, and they can enjoy happiness even if they lie down, isn't it?
Apart from time-travelers like Wang Mi, would anyone want to break such a good situation?
He was actually in his Langya Wang family?
is it possible?
"Why don't I support it?"
"I, the Wang family of Langya, paid for it!"
"Why not take control of Beifu? Do you want to hand it over to the Xie family?"
As he talked, he became anxious.
This is a bit confusing.
"Uncle, don't get me wrong. My nephew has absolutely no such intention, and he is not a fool. I worked so hard to get it, how could I give it away again."
"Then what are your plans for the future?"
What Wang Hui cares about in the end is this.
Intend?
Speaking of which, it’s really a troublesome thing.
What should I say to Wang Hui?
You definitely can't tell the truth.
However, this is where Wang Mi is currently in trouble. The situation he faces is too complicated. The core and complete picture of the incident can only be kept in his heart, and he must not tell others.
Even in the face of his good brothers, the He brothers who started their business in Jingkou, they cannot tell the truth, and because my wife is the daughter of the Xie family, she cannot know many things.
Even if the two of them are now on the same page and trust each other, it is normal not to tell her about the dispute with the Xie family, and it cannot make her worry, right?
As for the patriarch Wang Hui, of course he has to pick and choose what can be said before he can tell him. None of those secrets can be revealed.
So, we are faced with a very difficult situation.
Wang Mi is a person who tells lies with different contents when facing different people. Everyone has a different set of words.
Mr. Wang is very hardworking.
Brain cells are burning!
"In the future, apart from anything else, Beifu must be firmly in the hands of our Langya Wang family. Uncle can rest assured about this. Now the senior generals in Beifu are all my people. Even if other families covet Beifu,
They can't succeed because they can't bring up the team at all."
Wang Hui nodded and said: "It is really important to have your own team of people. You have done a good job."
"Uncle, I see that you have been advocating the Northern Expedition, and you have captured a lot of cities. If it was just to consolidate the Jianghuai defense line, it is almost done now."
"How about it?"
"Are you ready to continue fighting?"
Wang Hui's eyes were full of temptation. In fact, he could probably guess about 70% of Wang Mi's thoughts.
Isn't this obvious?
If you just want to protect the Jianghuai defense line, you don't need to spend so much effort in the first place.
"certainly."
"The situation is so good now. As long as we can capture Luoyang, Chang'an, and Dingding Central Plains, it will be just around the corner!"
Wang Hui still nodded. He did not doubt Wang Mi's ability at all and knew that he had the strength to do this.
"So after all these things are done, what are you going to do?"
Step by step, the question becomes more and more in-depth. Next, it will be more difficult for Wang Mi to answer Wang Hui's question.
Then, the clenched fists began to sweat.
"Uncle means..."
"When the great cause is successful, I will never let the Wang family suffer. I can also guarantee this."
Wang Hui stroked his beard and smiled: "Zhiyuan, you know very well that this is not what I want to know."
"You are from the Langya Wang family. No matter what position you reach in the future, you will not treat your family badly. This is for sure. I am not worried at all."
"I just want to ask you, what is the final goal you want to achieve when you lead Beifu on a campaign?"
"Zhiyuan, tell the truth."
"No need to talk in circles with uncle, uncle just wants to hear the truth from you."
Wang Mi showed a painful expression.
truth?
It's just the truth, it's hard to say it out loud.
The person in front of me is just the clan leader of Langya Wang Clan. It doesn't matter if I don't tell him many things.
It's a pity that Wang Hui will not let him get what he wants.
He continued to press, but Wang Mi could not delay any longer, so he had to weigh it for a moment.
"Uncle, there are some things that I honestly can't explain to you clearly right now. I can only say that what I am doing is to change the existing structure of the Jin Dynasty."
"From now on, there will no longer be days when several major aristocratic families jointly have the final say. I, the Wang family, will be the one who makes the decision."
"Other families can only obey our orders!"
Wang Hui's expression turned serious: "You kid!"
"Sure enough, that's what I was thinking about!"
There is no need to explain it more clearly. Wang Hui already knows that what Wang Zhiyuan is thinking is no different from his guess.
