Chapter 143 New Year's Resolution

In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu.

Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one.

The New Year of the sixth year of the Great Jin Zhenglong has arrived.

On the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Xie Shence had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with Xie Laosan, Xie Ti and the two maids in the courtyard.

Then the drunken Xie Shence didn't know when he was slept by whom, in short, when he opened his eyes again, it was a new year.

The New Year's festival is said to be very lively.

The Xianbei people added another 500 good horses to the tribute, and the trade cooperation between the two sides deepened again. A prince of the Southern Song Dynasty asked a woman from the Jin dynasty to be his wife. Yan Guo once again expressed his friendly inclination. Although the Qin State did not say anything, it invested a considerable amount of capital in the trade of salt, iron and grain, and expanded the scale of trade.

After the war, the Great Jin Dynasty not only did not show fatigue, but became more vigorous, and even the Shandong horse bandits, who had been restless in previous years, have quieted down a lot in the past year. The flooding of the Yellow River was not serious enough to cause much harm to the Jin state, and the relaxation of the commercial ban added a lot of tax revenue to the Jin state's treasury.

The only thing that doesn't make people happy is the Northwest. The He Lou Department, which was originally supported by the Northwest Army, looked a little arrogant at this court meeting. However, Emperor Jin has the power of the world in his heart, so he naturally does not care. However, Emperor Jin doesn't care, which doesn't mean that the ministers below don't count. This is only the first day of the first lunar month, and it is said that there are 5 ∝, and several groups of people have come to the Sifang Pavilion to make trouble.

The Northwest Army raised a white-eyed wolf.

This is what the middle and upper officials and the low-level people in the Jin capital do.

Of course, they are not all fools, and there are also words such as raising bandits and gaining military merits, but they are quickly drowned out by the general opinion.

The son of the Xie family, oh no, Princess Jinyang and the concubine Xie Shenwei all had a fight with the young patriarch of the Helou Tribe, can it still be said that the Northwest Army has another purpose?

Not alive, cough cough, the horse master's fight has played a style and level, and there are many idle second ancestors gathered outside the door of the Sifang Pavilion, although they were stopped by the people of the Horse Mansion, and they didn't see with their own eyes what the mountains and tsunami inside looked like, but Xie Shenwei finally came out covered in blood and unharmed, which is very telling about the situation.

The young patriarch of the He Lou Department and the guards left early without waiting for the Lantern Festival. This matter has become the hottest topic in Jindu before the Lantern Festival.

On the second day of the first lunar month, Xie Shence met the three brothers of the visiting Sima family at home.

This time, Sima Tan's intention to come was obvious, that is, to take the opportunity of New Year's greetings to express his heart.

Xie Shence quietly watched the happy relationship between the Sima brothers and their father Xie Shang.

For Xie Shence, the three brothers of the Sima family are still relatively jealous, so although they occasionally intentionally guide the topic to Xie Shence and want to communicate with Xie Shence, they are all politely and directly rejected by Xie Shence.

The Sima family brothers knocked on the side, such as Xie Shence in distress, such as the Cai family case, etc., Xie Shence smiled and said, "The matter of Tiqi has always been impossible to talk about to the outside world, please forgive my cousin" to block back.

Xie Shence moved out the signboard of the Ti Qi Division, and the three brothers naturally couldn't ask any more. After all, even their ancestors and fathers didn't have much say in front of Tiqi.

After a brief temptation, the three brothers probably knew that the little cousin who had the status of the Admiral of the Cavalry was no longer from the same world.

At least in terms of power and influence, Xie Shence has thrown them off more than one street.

Because of this inequality, the three brothers gradually controlled the "scale" to a degree that would not appear frivolous and exaggerated, but could also drive the atmosphere.

Naturally, this topic will not be political and military but literature, but obviously, there is a "Mr. Xie Xiao" sitting next to him, and such a topic is also an axe. Fortunately, Sima Tan shifted the topic to Xie Shence's "Three Kingdoms" in time, so as to avoid the possibility of the two brothers making a fool of themselves. You can express your own opinions on this topic, and if necessary, please thank Shence for commenting on it to drive the atmosphere very well.

In fact, Sima Jian and Sima Shan are not incompetent people in the general sense, but compared with Sima Tan, Xie Shence and others, there is still a little gap. The two have been educated by Sima Yu for many years, and their literary upbringing is naturally not bad, but Sima Tan seems that these two brothers may still be very dissatisfied with Xie Shence's poetry, so there are many sharp edges in their words.

You are no longer convinced by the poets who thank Shence, then you have to come up with one or two works that can be praised by the uncle. I don't know how to weigh myself

I've never seen anyone slapping themselves like this. Didn't you see Xie Shence's indifferent expression until now? People don't take you to heart at all

Sima Tan watched the two brothers talk eloquently, Xie Sheng smiled silently, and nodded from time to time, a little worried that his image in front of Xie Sheng would be lowered by the two brothers.

Xie Shang is a tepid person, although he is almost invisible in the officialdom of the Great Jin Dynasty, but whenever there is a big event, there is always his shadow. The reason why it is said that there is a shadow of him is not to say that Xie Shang is the driving force behind the scenes, but because he is there in every important meeting, but he is very inconspicuous in the crowd, rarely speaks, and his role is basically equivalent to a foil, like a shadow.

Under normal circumstances, the only name that the second generation of the Xie family can often mention is Xie Yi.

After all, Xie Yun has been married to a wife for many years. What's more, people are not in Jindu.

However, the real big people, such as several Shangshu lords in the political affairs hall, and those who can often enter and leave the imperial study, will definitely not ignore Xie Shang.

If you want to say that you have entered the imperial study the most times, in the past twenty years, in addition to those few old people, I am afraid that Xie Sheng has the most. Although almost every time he doesn't speak.

But who noticed this situation, who would believe that Xie Sheng didn't say a word when he met the emperor in private? After so many years, the Xie family has been steadily rising, is it just an old lady who is contributing?

Sima Tan is Sima Bi's most valued son, naturally he will not be as shallow as ordinary officials, he knows what kind of friendship the middle-aged man in front of him had with Emperor Jin back then. Forty years later, it happened to be when his father's generation was young, and at that time, the middle-aged man in front of him and Emperor Jin were laughing and playing together almost every day.

After all, the old lady is the emperor's teacher, and she is extremely close to the first emperor of the year.

At noon, the three brothers of the Sima family had a meal accompanied by the whole Xie family.

This is the first New Year after Xie Shenwei and Princess Jinyang got married, after entering the palace on the first day of the first month to pay homage to the Queen Mother and the Emperor and Empress, Xie Shenwei returned to Weihou Mansion with Princess Jinyang on the second day of the first month.

This time, the whole family was accompanied, and even Xie Shenpei also attended.

During the banquet, Xie Shenpei also gave Sima Tan a glass of wine, of course, in the name of his cousins. The old lady and Xie Yi Xie Xie did not express any dissatisfaction.

This family affair seems to be settled.

After lunch, the three brothers of the Sima family quickly took their leave.

Maybe it's because the Xie family has been in the limelight in the past year, and the Xie family has a lot of people who come to visit in the first month of this year. But this has nothing to do with Xie Shence, he is chatting with Xie Shenwei in the courtyard at this time.

It's not because no one visits Xie Shence, in fact, most of the visitors who have been in an endless stream these days are coming for Xie Shence, but because of Xie Shence's status as the commander of the cavalry, few people say it explicitly. Many people are handing over a letter of worship and gifts, just hoping to leave an impression in the hearts of the Xie family, if they can get the hospitality of the Xie family, they can get some benefits, and they will definitely have more confidence in doing things and speaking in the future.

Xie Shence didn't care about this, he implemented the words that Xie Shenwei gave him when he returned to Jindu last year, and remembered what they did, and they remembered us.

After a while, a servant came to report that the Tikhals had come to visit.

The person who came was Zhou Jinmian, followed by Tian Fen.

Xie Shence smiled and asked in a low voice, "When will you get married?" ”

Zhou Jinmian smiled slightly: "Soon, it is estimated that it will be next year." ”

If it's fast, it's still next year, so I'm really patient.

Xie Shence: ""

"Then, then I wish you all that soon."

Zhou Jinmian smiled faintly.

Tian Fen is a woman, but she is also a high-level member of the Tiqi Division, and she has encountered any kind of situation when she is on a mission, so she doesn't care about Xie Shence's half-joking ridicule, and she sat down with an indifferent expression.

After chatting for a while, Xie Shence put the servant back, and then asked Lu'er and Caiyi to take the door and go out.

Zhou Jinmian looked at Xie Shence and said, "You actually want to reorganize the Tiqi Division." ”

Tian Fen was taken aback.

Xie Shenwei's eyelids lifted in concern.

Xie Shence did not hide it: "There is nothing surprising about it, this matter should have been done a long time ago." I already have a plan, but it can be very difficult to implement and I can't guarantee full control, so you have to help me. ”

Xie Shence said it directly, Zhou Jinmian didn't react much, Xie Shence guessed that Emperor Jin must have told him, and he also knew the role he was going to play.

"It's all thankless, Your Majesty really knows how to choose people."

"No way, who made your family loyal for three generations?"

Zhou Jinmian smiled helplessly and said, "The first time I discovered the word Zhongliang, it was actually not very good. ”

Xie Shence laughed: "Brother Zhongliang, this time I have to work hard for you!" ”

Zhou Jinmian smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Tian Fen didn't know the inside story, but he could get some vague information from the words of the two.

Ti Cavalry, reshuffle, difficulty, hard work.

This series of words made her feel that things were not as easy as the two of them appeared.

"What the hell is going on?"

Tian Fen couldn't help but ask.

Xie Shence nodded at Zhou Jinmian and motioned for him to explain.

"Actually, His Majesty is dissatisfied with the Ti Cavalry Division and thinks that the Ti Cai Division needs to make some changes, so the Admiral and I are ready to carry out some reform of the current Ti Cai Division with the support of His Majesty."

Although Tian Fen had already guessed the facts, he was still inevitably taken aback by what Zhou Jinmian said.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is dissatisfied with the Ti Cavalry? Is it because of the failure of the last two major missions? This, could it be that Admiral Wei was transferred away because of this? What is wrong with Ti Cai, and will be angered by His Majesty? ”

Tian Fen spoke nervously and incoherently.

In her mind, reorganization means purge.

(PS: More later!) )
