The atmosphere was a little depressing, and Sima Jian and Sima Shan's faces were not good-looking.

Zhao Xu is relatively better, after all, it is not his Zhao family who was slapped in the face the loudest. However, since they were already in the same camp, they were naturally related to the whole, so Zhao Xu just drank a glass of stuffy wine and didn't speak.

The backbones of the main body are silent, and the sons and talents who laughed loudly just now will not be able to make a sound.

"I've heard some rumors about these things in the northwest."

Sima Tan broke the deadlock.

Zhao Xu took advantage of the situation and went down the ladder and said with a smile: "The little general has been at the border for a long time, and he must know about the war in the northwest, so please ask us to solve my doubts." ”

Although Sima Jian and Sima Shan are both Sima Bi's parents, their freedom was raised by Sima Yu, and Sima Tan is the only son who serves by Sima Bi's side, and he is stationed on the border all the year round, so it can be said that he was cultivated as an heir. So when it comes to some secrets, a brother and a brother are not as good as Sima Tan.

Sima Jin also smiled and said, "Second brother, since you know, then talk about it, so as not to keep us all in the dark." ”

Everyone was also mobilized at this time, and they all asked Sima Tan to solve their doubts. The embarrassment just now was swept away.

Sima Tan agreed with a smile and said, "It's a long story, this matter has to start from the end of last year." If you want to come to the Xianbei Royal Court to sue for peace, everyone knows about this matter. ”

The crowd nodded.

Zhao Xu said: "This matter has made a lot of noise in the Great Jin Dynasty, and the Xianbei Royal Court is willing to promise me the prince of the Great Jin Dynasty as a princess, which is the most humble gesture in hundreds of years, and it is the greatest glory in hundreds of years due to the power of my Great Jin Dynasty." ”

Sima Tan smiled at these officials' words.

"It is precisely because of this incident that the Xie family brothers were sent to Xianbei to serve as envoys to receive their relatives. However, when passing through the territory of the Duanbu, the mission was attacked, which caused the alliance between the two countries to be broken, so this was the move of the northwest of our Great Jin Dynasty and the Xianbei royal court to jointly attack the Duanbu. As envoys, the Xie brothers then made great contributions in this war. Xie Shenwei married Wan during the period, oh, it was Princess Jinyang, and Xie Shence stayed in the northwest to negotiate with the Xianbei people, and finally rebelled against Duan Xianbei's He Lou Department before using a trick to lure Duan Pishan out of the camp, which allowed Xie Shenwei to seize the opportunity to behead in one fell swoop. After that, the Duan Department was defeated, and the Great Jin Dynasty also achieved huge benefits, so there was the upcoming reward. Do you think I'm right? ”

When everyone present heard Sima Tan finish speaking, they all nodded.

Sima Jian frowned and said, "The second brother's words are no different from what we know, but listening to the second brother's tone, is there another hidden meaning in this matter?" ”

Everyone present looked shocked.

Zhao Xu arched his hand and said, "Little general, please speak." ”

This is not a threat or an order, but a rather serious inquiry. It was a matter of overall interests, and he had to lower his profile. In fact, the Xie family brothers were able to catch up with or even surpass their group in a very short period of time, and the entire Great Jin Dynasty except for a few real bigwigs who could participate in it, including the six ministers, was unknown.

Of course, this cannot be said that the ministers of the six ministries are not important ministers of the court.

Among Sima Jin's group of young people of the Qi Wang Party, there are sons of big families, scholars who have jumped over the dragon gate by their own talents, and of course, there are also young Zhuang officers with real power, they have not investigated the "development" of the Xie brothers, but they are also confused when they don't even know what their father is.

When Xie Shence was appointed as a doctor of Taixue, they could still smile indifferently, but they just regarded it as a noble and beautiful difference that the Xie family asked His Majesty the Emperor for ten years in order to compensate Xie Shence for sending a sample of Huaiyang Dao for ten years. In fact, Xie Shence has indeed done a good job, and the names of poems and literary names can be praised by the streets and alleys. Many of them have read "Three Kingdoms", and some have pretended to be clear and do not shy away from commenting.

But when the news that Xie Shenwei was married by His Majesty the Emperor and Xie Shence sent Xianbei was released, everyone felt that something was wrong: these two were not the heights that ordinary favors could reach.

Especially the envoys.

Who doesn't know it's a fat gap? As long as Princess Xianbei is brought back, it will be a great achievement, and the marquis is almost a certainty! Of the six current Shangshu, four of them won glory for the country when they were on foreign missions!

So this naturally aroused the vigilance of the youth faction of the Qi King Party, but when Xie Shence returned to the Jin capital, the appointment of His Majesty the Emperor shocked everyone: use Xie Shence as the commander of the Tiqi Division!

O Admiral Tikasi! That's another sense, one person under ten thousand people! Why did he thank God? His Majesty the Emperor, why?

Is the world crazy?

In the second half of the year, after Xie Shence impeached the Cai family for ten crimes and then uprooted the Cai family with a thunderous force, these youth factions were left with fear, incomprehension and resentment.

No, it's not resentment, to be precise, it's resentment that you dare not show in front of others.

These things have plagued them for half a year, and in the past half a year, everyone has been able to close their eyes and turn their backs on what happened during this period, but no one can really see through the weirdness and incredibleness in it. Just today, someone can finally solve their puzzles. So these youth factions are all making enough gestures to understand the truth.

Sima Tan was not pretentious, and said directly: "This matter is indeed hidden. ”

Everyone's stiff faces were relieved, but their hearts were excited: sure enough, there was an insider!

"The key point of these things is not in Your Majesty's trust, not in Your Majesty's favor, not in the operation of the Xie family, or even in the Great Jin Dynasty."

"It's in Xianbei."

"Yu Duan Pishan attacked the mission. After that, the Xie brothers won the battle merits. ”

"Have you ever thought about it, if Xie Shence was just appreciated by His Majesty, then if he could take back Princess Xianbei safely and peacefully, how could His Majesty hand over the Tiqi Division to him? The most large and small yellow doors are just that! So this incident and the later Cai case, the starting point is because Duan Pishan attacked my Dajin's family mission. This incident is the initial point of everything for the Xie brothers to shine. ”

"Why did Duan Pishan attack the kissing mission so unwisely? Didn't he know that doing so would be devastating to the section? He should have understood, but since he understood that he still did this, it was nothing more than something that could concern him more than the tribe. ”

"Do you know what's going on? You can guess as wildly. ”

After Sima Tan finished speaking, everyone buried their heads in thought with sad faces, and no one could open their mouths after a quarter of an hour passed.

Sima Tan didn't say much in front of him, but the amount of information was really large, and there were people with a keen sense of smell, such as Sima Jin and Zhao Xu, who vaguely smelled the smell of conspiracy. Several of the main tasks of the youth faction also fell into contemplation.

"Because Duan Pishan and Xie Shenwei have a grudge against killing their sons!"

As soon as Sima Tan said this, the audience was shocked.

I see.

The crowd understood. If it weren't for that, how could Duan Pishan take action against the two countries and the pro-embassy regardless of the overall situation.

However, some people have raised doubts.

"Even if there is a revenge for killing a son, how can Duan Pishan cause the entire tribe to ignore it? Isn't that far-fetched? Not to mention that Duan Pishan only has one son. Moreover, how could Xie Shenwei kill Duan Pishan's son? ”

After the man finished speaking, everyone looked at Sima Tan with questioning eyes again.

Sima Tan said: "Xie Shenwei once went to the northwest for training, according to the information my father received, he was an ordinary ranger, so there was a lot of friction with the Duan Department, and this feud should have been formed at that time." And Xie Shenwei killed Duan Pishan's favorite second son. And according to the speculation of Zai Xia and his father, the reason why Duan Pishan decided to take action against the mission was because someone was in the middle to provoke it. ”

Everyone nodded in clarity.

Sima Jin explained: "As for how Xie Shenwei killed Duan Pishan's son, it's still our credit."

Zhao Xu heard it, then thought about it for a while, and then smiled: "Sure enough, it's true, there is actually our participation in this matter." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they all came to their senses.

Sima Tan was puzzled: "You also have a part in this matter?" ”

Sima Jin said with a smile: "Xie Shenwei once went to the northwest to 'experience', which is the result of our calculations. Xie Shenwei was arrogant and extremely domineering, so we used a trick to let a few sons of the prince of the country who had lost power provoke trouble, which angered Xie Shenwei, and so on, which made him leave Beijing for two years. It's called experience, but it's just to avoid disaster. Hahaha. ”

After Sima Jin's explanation, everyone laughed again, and Sima Tan also laughed when he heard this.

It's really a chance encounter.

It's just that your little calculations of the day have caused the consequences of today.

Sima Tan smiled and looked at it with contempt. Of course, he will never say anything.

Zhao Xu calmed down with a smile and said, "Yesterday's events are the foreshadowing of today, and I regret not being at the beginning." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent again.

These idiots Sima Tan thought to himself.

Seeing that the room was cold again, Sima Tan opened his mouth to persuade: "You don't have to be like this, this is just Your Majesty's plan, the Xie family brothers just happened to be on the throne." According to my father's inference, Mo said that Duan Pishan's attack on the mission was a war between the Great Jin and Duan Bu, and it was all planned by His Majesty! All these incidents are the overall situation set by His Majesty in order to consolidate the northwest defense line. Even if there are no Xie family brothers, there will be Zhang family brothers and Li family brothers. Therefore, this is just His Majesty's need. You are all people who understand, but you were just blinded by the momentum of the Xie family brothers in front of you. Actually, there is no need to worry. ”

After these words were spoken, the scene really came alive again.

Some lamented that His Majesty the Emperor was wise and far-sighted, some lamented that he did not seize the opportunity, some said that if it were his own, he could complete His Majesty's plan, and some even took the opportunity to look forward to the day when the Xie brothers were no longer needed by the emperor and lost power.

The last statement is the most nonsense, but it has attracted a burst of popularity from everyone.

Sima Tan looked at this scene, boasting or looking forward to everyone, talking and laughing on the surface, but in his heart he actually despised it to the extreme.

The Xie brothers only took the throne because they were needed by His Majesty?

Are you kidding!

You have the ability to annihilate 7,000 Xianbei Iron Horsemen in 10 days!

You have the ability to run hundreds of miles and slash the slashing section!

You have the patience, why didn't His Majesty the Emperor choose you to be the commander of the Tiqi Division!

Don't say anything about the pearl dust, you are all fools when you are a knight, they can't find talents!

Sima Tan suddenly felt that his father was not in the Jin capital, and the King of Qi was just relying on these people, and it was estimated that Lao Tzu's grandfather, who was not much better with them, could he really fight the prince.
