Liu Yu followed behind Xie An step by step, walking slowly, the old man in front of him with a wide figure, like an unclimbable mountain, across in front of him, so that he did not dare to overcome, or even dare to look up, even if the hero was like him, he did not dare to exhale behind Xie An, just now in a crowded situation, he could still have a head-on conversation with him, but here, where there were only two people, Liu Yu was a little overwhelmed.

Xie An's footsteps stopped, and his amiable face turned to Liu Yu, and he smiled slightly: "Xiaoyu, what's wrong, am I scared of you?" Why don't you say anything? ”

Liu Yu swallowed a bubble of saliva, eased his emotions, and said, "Lord Xianggong, I, I don't know how to talk about it. I was so wrong about today, I shouldn't have been in the limelight. ”

Xie An said softly: "Xiaoyu, you came here to participate in the auction and choose a personal guard for yourself, why are you in the limelight?" ”

Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said: "I'm a person, the biggest shortcoming is that I'm too competitive, in fact, before I came to participate in today's auction, I didn't want to grudge with others, but from the first round of auctions, because Diao Kui came out to oppose me, I hated him for hurting me before, and now I have taken refuge in King Huiji and are enemies of the Xie family, so I want to deliberately design to harm him once." not only broke their family to make trouble, but also killed people, and teased Diao Kui in the back, these are the results of my momentary pride and limelight. ”

Xie An nodded: "I've seen all of this, in fact, I arrived early in the morning for today's auction, but I haven't shown up, because I want to see how far you guys will handle it." ”

Liu Yu was shocked in his heart and said, "You actually don't care about political affairs and come to see this small auction?" ”

Xie An sighed: "Where is this small auction?" This is a re-alignment and shuffling of the family after the Battle of Huangshui, just like when you used to play Oak, one game ends and a new one begins. I can't stand up easily, because with my current power, once I show up, some families will be obedient against their will because they are afraid or want to cling to my Xie An's power, so I can't see the truth. ”

Liu Yu's brows furrowed: "So, it was also your decision to transfer General Sun and them to guard this auction hall?" ”

Xie An nodded: "This is natural, Xie Xuan has finished the battle and has returned the talisman, it is said that he is not qualified to transfer troops near the capital, only I, as the governor of the Chinese and foreign military, can have the power to control the army, this I think Huan Xuan, Wang Xun and Wang Guobao will think of it after they go back." ”

"At that time, the situation was a little out of control, Wang Chen transferred a lot of Jiangyang thieves, stragglers bravely entered, originally I wanted them to come out to control the situation without end, and by the way, you can also catch Wang Guobao a handle, but your response is very good, and these people were suppressed on the spot, so I don't need to go out in advance."

Liu Yu lowered his head: "But I shouldn't have killed someone, it's a bit excessive, and I regret it afterwards." ”

Xie An shook his head: "Xiaoyu, in front of everyone, I must say that you have violated the law and have to be guilty, but here, there are only you and me, I must say that you did the right thing." As a big husband, you must act decisively, if you don't kill the bandit led by the bandit at that time, and don't directly kill the person who shot you, you can't deter such a small person, if it were me, I would do the same. ”

Liu Yu was surprised and delighted in his heart, and raised his head: "Lord Xianggong, do you really agree with my approach?" ”

Xie An nodded: "In a difficult environment, sometimes you can't stick to common sense. When my brother Xie Wan was on the Northern Expedition, he looked down on the soldiers, pointed at them, looked like slaves, and committed public anger, I knew that he was wrong to do this, but in order to maintain his dignity as a commander, I could not openly oppose it, so I could only go to the generals and colonels in private, and the soldiers apologized. At that time, under the atmosphere of the scholars who were empty-eyed and looked down on low-born soldiers, it was like a rebellion, and I was disgraced and dismissed from my post because of this. ”

"But later during the Northern Expedition, my brother really failed because of the separation of the soldiers, and the army was scattered, and many soldiers who were usually angry with him wanted to take his life while they were in chaos, but then they still thought of my usual kindness to them, so I let my brother go, so on the surface, I lost my current official position, but in the long run, I won the hearts of the people and saved my brother's life, so I don't regret this deviant act back then."

Liu Yu nodded seriously: "Lord Xianggong, do you mean that I also want to temporarily lose my current position in the army because of today's actions?" ”

Xie An sighed: "This time the Wang family is prepared, they have prepared so many people in advance, they will definitely be able to find a reasonable explanation to the emperor, and the emperor is already dissatisfied with our military power, this time you, as our Xie family's quasi-grandson-in-law, the number one hero of the Beifu army, killing people in the capital, will definitely give them as the target of attack." And at the end of today, you and the Beifu sergeant are almost the enemy of the entire family, in this case, I can't come to protect you no matter what, and the next Northern Expedition will be postponed. ”

Liu Yu hurriedly said: "No, Lord Xianggong, it's okay to punish me Liu Yu, but, but you must not miss the Northern Expedition, I can go to prison and lose my office, but this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity must not be lost!" ”

Xie An's eyes flashed coldly: "Xiaoyu, don't be anxious, don't be excited, I am more eager than you to make contributions to the Northern Expedition, but just like the last battle of Weishui, we can't fight an uncertain battle, externally we need to have a good opportunity for civil strife and division in the north, and internally, we also need to maintain unity and unity in the name from the emperor to the family." Today's auction is to give the small and medium-sized families real benefits to continue to support us, and for His Majesty the Emperor, I need something else. ”

Liu Yu settled his mind and said, "Is there anything that can make the emperor support the Northern Expedition without being suspicious of you, Lord Xianggong?" ”

Xie An smiled slightly: "Xiaoyu, what do you say Your Majesty the Emperor wants most?" ”

Liu Yu also laughed: "What our Son of Heaven wants most is to be able to recover the power of the Son of Heaven that the Eastern Jin Dynasty royal family has lost for nearly a hundred years, and to be able to personally take charge of the military and govern the government." To put it bluntly, it is to take back this power from your hands. ”

Xie An nodded with satisfaction: "So, to prove his prestige, one thing is needed, Xiaoyu, you tell me first, have you ever heard of the Son of Whiteboard?" ”
