It came suddenly, and although it has been many days, it still feels a little unreal when people talk about it.

This sense of unreality was particularly evident among the officials of the Jin capital.

The turmoil in the court gradually expanded, and the officials of the Xie family wrote letters one after another, bitterly stating the seriousness of the cut-off of the Northwest Army, and some people even began to "not cooperate" with the imperial court's decree under the pretext of cutting the Northwest Army.

Naturally, not to be outdone, the people who suggested the reduction of the Northwest Army, a group of ministers headed by the Ministry of Industry and the Criminal Department, counted the facts of disobedience and disrespect in the Northwest over the years, and even used many government decrees unique to the Northwest to attack the Northwest for having a heart of disobedience and wanting to put a big hat of rebellion on the head of the Northwest.

The turmoil in the court intensified, but it was controlled by Emperor Jin within the critical range by great means

Xie Shence and Xie Shang drank tea opposite each other.

"Uncle Shi's approach is a bit excessive. Although it can show to a certain extent that the Northwest Army is still supported by many people, it cannot be cut. But on the other hand, it strengthened His Majesty's determination to divide it. After all, the Northwest Army won the hearts of the people - even a small part of the hearts of the people, His Majesty would not allow it. ”

Xie Shang said: "The Son of Heaven checks and balances, but more importantly, it is control. His Majesty prides himself on being the lord of the British, so naturally he will not let the situation of secession appear in the northwest and appear in his hands. Both factual and formal. ”

"It is inevitable to cut the Northwest Army. My father told your uncle about this ten years ago. It's just that at that time, the Xianbei people were not honest, and His Majesty suffered from the repeated violations of the Duan Division, so the Northwest Army was strong, and even as long as it was not too much, some unauthorized actions of the Northwest Army could be tolerated. ”

"But now, after all, times are different. The Duan Department has been extinguished, and the He Lou Department is much weaker than the Duan Department, and the ambition is also smaller, and it is easier to satisfy, not to mention the marriage with the Tuoba Department, Your Majesty thinks that the Northwest is solid, and you and Wen Zhao have really grown too fast in the past few years, and you have to be vigilant. ”

Xie Shence smiled: "It is undeniable that since he returned to Beijing - at that time he was arranging everything today, he is really a very dick person." ”

Xie Sheng frowned, and said unhappily: "Don't swear!" ”

Xie Shence hurriedly admitted his mistake.

"However, father, have you ever thought that since Your Majesty has long thought about doing something to my Xie family, why did he use me so much in the first place? And want to trust me? ”

Xie Shang thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because he saw his original shadow from you." ”

"The original shadow? Am I similar to Your Majesty? ”

"Well, I don't think I think it's a bit like it."

"Father, can you speak well?"

"Yes" Xie Sheng smiled: "Actually, when you were very young, Your Majesty said that you were very similar to him." ”

Xie Shence's face was a little unnatural. Of course, this can't blame Xie Shence for thinking of something bad, but looking at his father's somewhat proud expression, and involving his mother, he felt a little weird in his heart.

Xie Shang said: "Your eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Your Majesty, at that time, Your Majesty wanted to take a table for you, but in the end your grandfather refused." ”

The more I listened to it, the more unpleasant it became. It's awkward to think about your father, you talk.

Xie Shang seemed not afraid of being misunderstood by his son, and continued: "Some of the things you did in Huaiyang Road when you were a child, in fact, Your Majesty is very concerned, although the Wang family also deliberately concealed some of them, but if Ti Qi wants to investigate, he can still find some of them." For example, what kind of barbecue do you make, chain inns and the like, Your Majesty appreciates it very much. ”

"And what your majesty admires you the most is not your talent for business, nor your near-entry painter - although you no longer paint - but your decisiveness."

"From the beginning when Wang Ding deliberately let you get in touch with some affairs of the Huai Army, you have shown great military talent, of course, in terms of planning, you can't compare with Wen Zhao in terms of battle formation. And in the process of exterminating the salt owls in the past, you have been able to maximize your talents. Guided by the situation, surprised, attacking, etc., they are very skilled and very good. ”

"And you are more skilled" Xie Sheng glanced at Xie Shence and said, "Chop the grass and eradicate the roots." ”

"That's your decision. It is also the place that His Majesty appreciates the most. ”

Xie Shence smiled bitterly: "Father, this advantage you mentioned, the child doesn't feel proud at all. Your Majesty has been paying so much attention to me, and I am a little flattered. ”

Xie Shence was right, he was indeed flattered. No, it's not a shock, it's just a shock.

It turned out that some of the things that I thought were hidden well when I was a child became a trait that could make Emperor Jin alert after Ti Qi's description. Although Ti Qi can't know too much, his ruthless characteristics can be caught, and it seems that Wei Liao has also put a lot of effort into him.

If Wei Liao put a lot of effort into it, it must be of great concern to Emperor Jin.

- He has long been blacklisted.

It's really not a happy thing to be a low-key person, but you don't want to be noticed at the beginning.

"Father just wants to tell you that, in fact, His Majesty knows a lot of things."

Xie Shence said with a little weakness: "Father, don't scare me, Your Majesty can still be clairvoyant and deaf?" ”

"Of course not. It's just that although you hide it well, after all, the wall has ears, and some people can't believe it. ”

Xie Shence nodded and said, "I know, some people in my father's Wang family have always wanted me to die, but they are just well hidden. In fact, my aunt and grandfather also told me, but he went suddenly, otherwise many things would not have happened. ”

Xie Shang looked at this son, who rarely spoke, and only communicated more during this time, and said, "This is also inevitable. ”

Xie Shence nodded.

However, he was halfway through when he suddenly looked up.

There was something in my father's words.

After thinking about it deeply, Xie Shence was like falling into an ice cave, and his whole body was stiff and unable to move.

"Ho-ho"

With this sound coming out of his mouth, Xie Shence was speechless.

"Surprised, huh? You see, you can think of it, but you never thought about it. If you could think a little deeper, you would be even more surprised. You just never don't think about it. ”

Xie Shang added hot water to Xie Shence's teacup.

I don't know if this kind of Lao Tzu's act of pouring tea for his son frightened Xie Shence, or if the boiling water burned his hands, Xie Shence suddenly woke up.

"But this—this is just speculation after all, isn't it?"

Xie Sheng smiled indifferently: "What's just that?" Can you think of someone else who can't do it? You've always prepared for the worst, so why don't you think about the worst this time? ”

Xie Shence smiled bitterly: "After all, I still don't want to." ”

Xie Sheng closed his eyes and shook his head, and said, "He is the British Lord, but the British Lord has never had a necessary connection with Ming Jun, why don't you want to?" ”

Xie Shence didn't speak.

"Is it because your father and your uncle have always trusted him, so you also trust him?"

Xie Shence couldn't speak with his mouth open.

This is the first time Xie Sheng has criticized him since he was a child.

Although speaking of which, Xie Sheng really didn't talk to him for a long time.

Xie Shence suddenly felt very happy.

It's the first time I've felt that it's good to be criticized. Xie Shence thought so.

"We believe it's our business. It has nothing to do with whether you believe it or not. In terms of temperament, you are still a step behind after all. ”

"Your grandfather must have told you to be calm in trouble, and you are doing well. But he also said that you have to think about the big picture, and you don't do this well. Even though you have done well, even beyond the expectations of a father, you are still not good enough. At least if your grandfather is still in charge of the house, you won't be able to do it. ”

Hearing Xie Sheng say this, Xie Shence suddenly felt a little resentful.

You say it so lightly, it's like you know everything. But since you know everything, why don't you guide me? Why did I always do it alone?

Xie Sheng didn't notice the change in Xie Shence's mood, and continued: "The so-called overall situation is not limited to the overall situation changes, you also have to consider the changes in the people in the situation. After all, the situation is different from person to person, and from person to person. ”

"You just saw the changes in the situation such as the destruction of the Duan Department and the civil strife of the Xi people, and it is already very good to be able to make decisions in your favor based on this. But as far as we are concerned, it is not enough. ”

"You forgot to analyze some people. Because these changes in the situation are likely to be deliberately done by some people. ”

"It's like that His Majesty and Tuoba Rui planned the fact that Duan was destroyed, and then they both profited, and then they were able to make more moves to achieve their respective goals. In this process, it is not about how much benefit the parties can get, not how His Majesty will deal with military exploits, etc., but whether His Majesty can carry out the next plan. The smoothness of his plan is what counts. ”

"Fengzhi, you still see it short. Although you stand tall enough, you start too high and don't have enough experience, and those small details sometimes blind your eyes. ”

Xie Sheng rarely said so much to his children. Xie Shenwei is arrogant, and he has no common language with Xie Xiang, who is indifferent by nature, and Xie Shenpei is forgotten, even Xie Shence can't say a word for a few days.

Is this a point?

Xie Shence reflected and found that although Xie Sheng was not polite, he did not do well enough.

For example, although he has done a lot of things, it seems that he still can't escape the evaluation of "Eagle Dog". And the most helpless thing is that he himself thinks so.

"The Northwest Army is just the beginning. Fengzhi, Your Majesty has done so much foreshadowing, he will not stop, you have to be prepared. ”

Xie Shence felt Xie Sheng pat his hand on the shoulder, and felt that it was a big mountain, which made him a little breathless.

It seemed like in an instant, everything was pressed against him.

Xie Sheng seems to know everything, but he doesn't do anything, and he may not be able to do anything. Then everything can only be done by thanking God.

From the beginning, Xie Shence didn't realize that his rapid rise would cause trouble for the family. He has always wanted to be strong as soon as possible, and then support this family. So in this case, although Emperor Jin didn't have too many reasons for him to start doing it now, he also had to be responsible.
