Hearing this, Xie An nodded slightly, and said softly: "Zhou Taishou doesn't need to be nervous, this official believes in your loyalty to the emperor, but after returning from Luoyang City, your attitude towards the Northern King has obviously changed, so it is inevitable that you will be suspected by your colleagues?" You don't have to take it personally. ”

"Yes, Gong Xie." Taishou, surnamed Zhou, responded with a fist.

Xie An sighed, paced back and forth in the main hall, paused, and said softly: "The imperial palace in Luoyang City is huge, if it is to be fully repaired, I am afraid that it will not work without a year, so within a year, the North King will not take any action, and after a year, the North King is likely to ask the imperial court to move the capital to Luoyang, if such a situation really occurs, what should I do?" ”

Obviously, Xie An knew very well in his heart that since Hua'an had spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to carry out large-scale repairs to the palace of Luoyang City, there must be a very important reason, and forcing the imperial court to move the capital to Luoyang City is one of the great possibilities, and the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty should have been in Luoyang, back then, only because of the escape of the war, it had to move to Jiankang City in the south of the Yangtze River. Luoyang City has been recovered, and the brutal alien soldiers and horses have long since fled, so it is reasonable to move to Luoyang at this time.

However, Xie An also knows that the relocation of the capital has suffered huge resistance, first of all, the imperial court has taken Jiankang City as the capital, which has lasted for decades, and all the families have surrounded Jiankang City, and have successively established houses and fields, if the imperial court suddenly moves the capital to Luoyang City, then, the status of Jiankang City will inevitably be greatly reduced, and in this way. The large number of mansions owned by many families will depreciate sharply, and since many officials who have already become officials, they will also leave Jiankang City, before they leave. It is inevitable that a large number of mansions will be sold, and in this way, it will inevitably further aggravate the large-scale depreciation of the mansions, so that the interests of the family will be greatly damaged, for this reason, they will definitely vigorously oppose the imperial court to move the capital, and Jiangnan has not experienced war for a long time. All kinds of facilities are relatively complete, the climate is also very good, very livable, at least much better than the direction of Luoyang City, and the children of the scholar clan who enjoy the mountains and rivers are even more reluctant to move to the Luoyang City area where the conditions are relatively harsh.

The resistance of the Shi clan was only one of them, and the royal family would not be reluctant to move the capital, after all, they had been in Jiankang City for so long. I'm used to the qiē here, and if I move to Luoyang City, I will be very unaccustomed to it. Moreover, the area around Luoyang City is Hua'an's sphere of influence, and after moving to Luoyang City, they feel that they will be completely controlled by Hua'an, thus losing the authority that the imperial family should have, especially since Hua'an has now become a member of the imperial family. Moreover, with a large number of legions in his hands, if he really launched an action to usurp the throne, there was really no one in the royal family who could stop him, besides. Hua'an was written into the lineage of the king of Chu, and in terms of blood, it was closer than all the royal family members in Jiankang City, and Hua'an usurped the throne and stood on his own, so he would not face much opposition.

"Duke Xie, since it will take a whole year to repair the imperial palace in Luoyang City, then, within a year, the imperial court will definitely not move the capital to Luoyang City, it seems too early for us to discuss this issue now!" An official, said Masashi.

"Yes! Duke Xie, the issue of moving the capital can be left aside for the time being, but now that the emperor is growing up day by day, he can't always let the queen mother be regent! Xia Guan thinks that it is better to let the emperor govern as much as possible, so that it is the blessing of the community! An official, said loudly.

When Xie An heard this, he felt that it was very reasonable, paused, and said: "What you said is very right, now that the emperor is in his teens, it should be the age of pro-government, and it is what we urgently need to do at the moment to let the emperor pro-government, but this matter should not be rushed, and the official will do his best to discuss it with the queen mother." ”

When all the officials heard this, they all nodded approvingly.

"Report, Duke Xie, King Nan sent a confidant to send a secret letter, which needs to be handed over to Duke Xie in person." At this moment, the henchmen sent by Huan Wen arrived at Xie An's mansion and prepared to meet Xie An.

Xie An looked at several confidant officials beside him and said softly, "You guys go behind the screen first to avoid it." After speaking, he motioned to his subordinates and went to invite Huan Wen's henchmen.

When the officials heard this, they immediately got up and quietly hid behind the screen.

Soon, the henchmen sent by Huan Wen entered the main hall of Xie An's mansion and handed over Huan Wen's secret letter to Xie An.

"Does Nanwang have any special explanation?" Xie An took the letter and asked softly.

"The king asked the lower officials to personally hand over this secret letter to Duke Xie, and also, our king said that Duke Xie is a pillar of the country and loyal to the emperor, and this is the same as our king." Huan Wen's confidant said with his fists clenched.

Hearing this, Xie An nodded, looked at this Huan Wen henchman, and said softly: "It's been a long journey, you must be very tired!" Go to the guest room to rest first, secret letter, this official will take a closer look. After speaking, he gave the subordinate beside him a look, and motioned to the subordinate to immediately take the guest to the guest room to rest.

"Gong Xie, the next official will leave." Huan Wen clenched his fists, turned around and left the main hall, and walked towards the location of the guest room under the leadership of the people of Xie An's mansion.

After Huan Wen's henchmen left the main hall, Xie An's henchmen and officials who were hiding behind the screen all walked out and gathered around Xie An.

Xie An gently opened the secret letter, carefully browsed it, and frowned slightly after reading it.

"Gong Xie, what did King Nan say in his letter?" Seeing Xie An's frowning, a confidant official asked in a low voice.

Xie An paused, and said softly: "The King of the South has already learned about the large-scale renovation of the Imperial Palace of Luoyang City by the King of the North, and he sued the official that the King of the North's move must be to force the imperial court to move the capital, and finally abolish the emperor and replace him, and let the official unite with him to deal with the King of the North together, and, if necessary, he can also contact the King of Yan as a foreign aid." After speaking, he looked at several confidant officials beside him.

"Duke Xie, the idea of the king of the south is just a speculation, and there is no substantial evidence to prove that the king of the north has the ambition of replacing the wolf son of the emperor, besides, the king of the south intends to contact the king of Yan, so, it is to lure the wolf into the room, it is absolutely undesirable, back then, if it was not for the king of Chengdu Sima Ying to reuse the Huns Liu Yuan, and with the help of Liu Yuan's soldiers and horses to participate in the struggle for power and profit, and will not let Liu Yuan take the opportunity to sit big, the Central Plains will not fall into the world of the Huns, now, if the king of the south contacts the king of Yan, it will inevitably make the Yan country have the possibility of becoming bigger, We must pay attention to this point. An official, loudly objected.

"The guess of the king of the south may be right, but the king of the north now controls the land of ten states, and the soldiers and horses under his command are seven or eight hundred thousand, even if my Yangzhou army and the Jingzhou army are united, they may not be the opponents of the soldiers and horses under the command of the king of the north, besides, many generals of the Yangzhou army are the former generals of the king of the north, and there seems to be a connection between them and the king of the north, so if we confront it head-on with military strength, we have no chance of winning." An official, said Masashi.

Obviously, none of the henchmen and officials under Xie An's command support a military confrontation with Hua'an, after all, they feel that the soldiers and horses under Hua'an are too powerful, and there is no chance of winning in a battle with them, and this kind of behavior will weaken the national strength of the Great Jin Dynasty, so it is very likely that there will be a situation where the alien race will take advantage of it again, and once such a situation occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable, and this is obviously what everyone does not want to see.

Hearing this, Xie An nodded slightly, and said: "What you said is right, although we are not very clear about the intentions of the Northern King, but no matter what, my Great Jin will definitely not experience another tragedy similar to the Eight Kings Rebellion, we must do our best to maintain the stability of the Great Jin and let all the people live a good life, this is what we should do as a courtier." ”

"Yes! My Great Jin has gone through many difficulties and finally recovered a large area of land in the north, and we must not let these lands that have been recovered with great difficulty fall into the hands of foreign races again because of infighting. An official, Masashi said.

"Since King Nan has already made a request, how should Duke Xie reply?" An official said.

Xie An thought carefully for a moment, and said: "This official will write a reply letter to the king of the south, so that the king of the south will focus on the overall situation of the world and not do anything that will damage the Great Jin. ”

"What Gong Xie said is, however, in the opinion of the lower officials, the king of the south is a very cautious and smart person, he will not mess around, the last time, the king of the north and the army of the Yan Kingdom fought so fiercely, he did not move the army, and now, the army of the Yan Kingdom has been completely defeated by the soldiers and horses under the command of the king of the north, and the king of the south is even more afraid to take risks, and sent his henchmen to contact the king of Xie, just to test the attitude of the king of the north to the king of the north." An official, said Masashi.

"Yes! Gong Xie, if King Nan wanted to do it, he would have already done it, so why did he delay until now? Another official chimed in.

When Xie An heard this, he nodded approvingly, and said: "You are right, the feasibility of Nanwang testing this official is very great, but no matter what, this official's attitude will not change." ”

Obviously, Xie An's position is to maintain the prosperity and stability of the Great Jin Dynasty as much as possible, and to oppose the infighting behavior that undermines the stability of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Subsequently, Xie An personally wrote a reply letter to Huan Wen, and expressed his position very clearly, and after writing it, he handed it over to the henchmen sent by Huan Wen, and asked him to take it back to Jingzhou and hand it over to Huan Wen. (To be continued......)
