Everyone was silent, and everyone was muttering in their hearts at this time. After all, the death of a prince like Huan Chong was of course a matter that shocked the government and the public, and the implications would be very wide. More importantly, whoever serves as the governor of Jingzhou is likely to be the governor of Jingzhou.
Being able to master the powerful power upstream, even if you can't get it yourself, you can't let the other party get it.
Therefore, it can be expected that there will be fierce struggles in the court
Jinning Hou Zhang Xuan was the first to speak. He glanced around and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the champion general Xie Xuan has a dignified appearance. He is tired of Junchuan and Feishui, and he will live up to his heavy responsibility."
As soon as these words came out, Xie An raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
What was surprising to everyone was that most civil and military officials agreed.
Everyone in the Xie family immediately became nervous. It was obvious that these people who came out to speak were not from the Xie family at all. Many of them were direct descendants of the Wang family. Everyone knew that the Wang family and the Xie family were now at loggerheads, and they were asked to come and help.
If the Xie family members say good things, there is only one explanation: they have ulterior motives!
Henry Zhang is just more inclined to the Xie family. Xie An knows it well. He should not be deliberately sent to disrupt the situation. He is probably just confused. But the other people who are making noises obviously want to control the power of the Xie family.
roast on fire
As long as Xie An thinks about it, he can guess that their goal is actually to provoke conflicts between himself and Jingzhou. Moreover, Xie An also knows it well. When Huan Chong was alive, the trend of cultivating Huan Xuan was already obvious. After such
After many years of management, brothers Huan Wen and Huan Chong have long turned Jingzhou into an independent kingdom that cannot be penetrated by needles or water. It is actually impossible to sit still if people are sent from Jiankang.
What Xie An is worried about is that Huan Xuan is still young after all, and he may not be able to keep his composure. If he knows that Xie Xuan's issue has been carefully considered, he may have other ideas.
Sima Yao looked at Xie An. The meaning was obvious. You have to express your opinion on this matter.
Xie An said slowly: "Although Xie Xuan has made some minor achievements, he has already supervised the military affairs of the three states of Xu, Yan and Qing. It is not suitable for Xizhen."
Sima Yao pursed his lips and said, "Then who does the Taibao think can take over?"
Xie An slowly said: "The champion general Huan Shiqian has made great contributions to Mianyang. Huan Shimin, the prefect of Xiangcheng, restrained Murong Chui's tribe in the battle of Huaifei. I also thought that Huan Shimin could be appointed as the governor of Jingzhou, and Huan Shiqian could serve as the governor of Jingzhou."
He can be appointed as the governor of Yuzhou, and Huan Yi, the former governor of Yuzhou, can be changed to Zhenjiang Prefecture."
Sima Yao listened quietly, then smiled and said: "Since it is the Taibao's intention, it is accurate, so I will draft the edict according to the Taibao's intention."
"His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, this is not possible!"
At this time, Sima Yao stood up for a rare occasion and said loudly: "This matter is settled, withdraw from the court!"
After that, Sima Yao left without looking back, leaving everyone looking at each other.
After the court meeting, Xie An and Zhang Xuan went out of Yunlongmen together. Zhang Xuan said: "I just came to the court to protect Xie Xuan, the governor of Jingjiang. Why should I refuse?"
Xie An said: "My father, my son, my uncle and my nephew all have great achievements. I am afraid that the imperial court will suspect the Huan family for neglecting their duties, and there will be resentment. Moreover, the Huan family in Jingjiang and Jingjiang have been in business for several generations and have many disciples and former officials. If they are gone, it will be difficult to maintain stability. Jiangzhou
In a place of extraordinary beauty, Huan Shi is extremely powerful and pious.
I don't trust him, so I asked him to go to Yuzhou. Xie Xuan can control him to some extent, so that he can show his talent.
Don’t be afraid, everyone has their own duties, this is a long-term solution.”
Henry Zhang understood and nodded: "I see!" But in his heart, he secretly admired Xie An's foresight.
Xie An secretly sighed, fortunately, out of various considerations, Sima Yao did not attack at this time, and chose to give the final word and support him in disguise. However, everyone knows that now he is still barely in power, and this Sima Yao,
Not willing to be a puppet emperor, he even expressed his ambition in mid-air on many occasions.
The reason is very simple. He also knows that Xie An is different from Wang Dun. If it is Wang Dun, let alone Sima Yao who often expresses his attitude like this. Even if he reveals a little bit of unwillingness in a few words, I am afraid it will be useless.
The establishment is coming soon
In the final analysis, he is kinder and less likely to do such cruel things. In fact, sometimes, Xie An even wonders whether it is right or wrong for him to do this.
Thinking about Xiang Yu, he was upright and heroic. Unfortunately, he ended up committing suicide in Wujiang River.
Xie An walked out of the palace, still unable to control himself for a long time
****************************** Duan Ye's mission in Ledu has been completed, but he still did not choose to return to Dunhuang.
He returned to Jincheng as soon as possible. After all, he is still the Hexi pacifier. Since the matter has not been completed, he naturally has reason to continue to hold this important official position in his hands and continue to hold power.
Jincheng has now completely restored peace. Now the Jiao family has completely surrendered and is very actively involved in work. Both Jiao Meng and Jiao Lin are active in their work, at least on the surface, especially Jiao Meng.
Although I am very old now, I have been very comfortable being the president of the Chamber of Commerce recently. The Jiao family can now be said to be full of people, because there were many caravans passing through Jincheng.
What's more important is that when these snobbish businessmen knew that Jiao Meng was now a popular figure around the pacification envoy, they all came to fawn over him one after another. Their groveling and groveling was so humiliating that even Jiao Meng of Lake Jiao Meng was taken aback.
shock
In fact, in the past, Jiao Meng was a local tyrant, and there were many people who came to curry favor with him, but they were also currying favor with him. Jiao Meng could see that at this time and at that time,
At that time, when people fawned over him, they were actually equal, because both parties were just getting what they needed and exchanging with each other. Jiao Meng was a little older, so he would naturally respect him a little more.
But things are different now. Jiao Meng is a member of Duan Ye, and many people directly regard being friends with him as a prerequisite for being able to further curry favor with Duan Ye. Moreover, the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce, although Duan Ye has said that it is not an official government office.
, but a non-governmental organization, but everyone knows Duan Ye’s influence in it, so how can anyone really regard it as a non-governmental organization?
Therefore, everyone naturally tried their best to flatter him and made him very happy.
Even so, Jiao Meng knew very well in his heart that all of this was given by Duan Ye. If Duan Ye wanted to, he could take it back at any time, so he was full of awe in his heart. He knew deeply that in his life, he would
Ever since I boarded the Duan Ye ship, it has been difficult to get off the ship again.
Duan Ye had just returned to his residence in Jincheng. As soon as he took a sip of hot water, someone came to report that Jiao Meng wanted to see him.
Duan Ye was a little surprised. What was this old man doing? Why hadn't he been so enthusiastic before?
Despite this, Duan Ye still asked someone to call him in.
As soon as Jiao Meng saw Duan Ye, he shouted repeatedly: "Sir! You are back!"
Duan Ye was a little confused and said: "Mr. Jiao, you...what's wrong with you? Is something wrong with Jincheng?"
"No, no, no," Jiao Meng waved his hands, "Jincheng is now harmonious and peaceful. The people are living and working in peace and contentment, and the merchants are doing business well. Now, this Jincheng is full of businessmen and travelers, and the people are rich, and it has the potential to be like Chang'an and Luoyang!
"
When Duan Ye heard this, he felt relieved and said: "That's good, that's good."
"Yes!" Jiao Meng's old face almost burst into laughter, "Sir, all of this is due to your good leadership."
As the saying goes, if you have more courtesy, you must ask for something. Duan Ye didn't believe that this old man came here just to say a few nice words, so he put his hands behind his head and said calmly: "Mr. Jiao, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, but you are
There’s no need for this”
Jiao Mengqian laughed twice and said: "To be honest with you, I'm here, I do... I have something to do, and I want to ask your opinion."
"explain"
"Uh..." Jiao Meng rubbed his hands, "Since the Lord asked Lao Chen to take the lead in organizing the Chamber of Commerce, these days, basically all the merchants in Jincheng have joined, and everyone is also very supportive. Regarding the venue of the Chamber of Commerce,
, the funding and external support are also very careful.”
"Oh? This is a good thing," Duan Ye said
"Yes, yes." Jiao Meng pouted, "Furthermore, according to the wishes of the Lord, a board of directors has also been established. Reputable people in the city have asked them to recommend and select directors. Now the team has been set up and handled.
Many businessmen’s internal matters”
"Is the operation going smoothly?" Duan Ye is quite concerned about this matter. "I have said before that this chamber of commerce is basically autonomous by you. If you can solve things by yourself, you can solve them by yourself. If you can't solve them, you can solve them yourself.
Go to the government”
"Well, to be honest with you, sir, we have dealt with a lot of disputes these days. However, due to your high prestige, they all gave me face, and things were handled quite satisfactorily. It's just that... well, now I'm pretending to be more powerful than a tiger.
Many people, hehehe, always come to the old man’s house to give gifts and flattery..."
Duan Ye glanced sideways at him and said, "This is normal."
Jiao Meng's forehead was sweating. He bowed and said: "Sir, you also know that although this chamber of commerce is not an official yamen, it does have a lot of power. These people come to the old man to make connections.
, inevitable
I want to give you a generous gift, but this old man is completely given by you. Although I know that you have been involved in a long life, and it is unreasonable to disturb you at this time, I still want to ask for permission. I accept this gift, but I still can't.
?”
Duan Ye was stunned. It turned out that this old boy had probably received too many gifts, and his hands were burning when he received them. He was afraid that if he took them again, he would hold a grudge!
Speaking of which, this old man is pretty good, but I don't know what he collects? Duan Ye became curious.
