When Xie An decided to leave, Emperor Sima Yao once thought that the Xie family was retreating and did not dare to agree to let him go, and after Xie An performed countless Taoist concerts, Sima Yao finally understood that Xie An was really going to pick his son and leave.

This is great news, since Sima Yao was suspicious of Xie An, he was thinking about how to bring down the Xie family, and now Xie An is going to leave by himself, isn't that sleepy and sending a pillow? He was so happy that he couldn't see his eyebrows, and without consulting anyone, he made a large amount of money and hurriedly sent Xie An away.

After the news spread, another favorite of his subordinates, Shangshu Wang Ya, who was born in a poor family, came to ask for a meeting, and he asked the emperor directly: "Your Majesty, are you trying to send the Xie family on the road of rebellion?" ”

The emperor was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Wang Ya asked rhetorically: "Your Majesty, please think about it with your heart, if you are Xie Xiang, you have never done anything that damages the dignity and majesty of the royal family in your life, and you have personally supported the emperor, but in the end you ended up with a foreign domain." What's more, Xie Xiang is old, and the fatigue will inevitably affect his health, if Xie Xiang dies on the way to the domain, his children and grandchildren will have a strong resentment towards the court. ”

Sima Yao is a soft-eared person, and what he says is called "good at accepting advice", and what he says is "not eating in the ears". He felt that Wang Ya was very reasonable, so he naturally wanted to ask how to save it.

Seeing that he still had to ask about such a simple matter, Wang Ya couldn't help but glance at him with hatred, and said: "The matter has come to this point, what you can do is to add officials to Xie Xiang and the people of the Xie family, and give them a reward for those false titles and rich fiefs that don't matter, so that even if there is any accident, you can be worthy of the Xie family and not lose your morality in the world." ”

Sima Yao hurriedly wrote an edict in accordance with Wang Ya's instructions, sealing Xie An as "Taifu", "Governor of Dadu", and "Duke of Luling County", Xie An's younger brother Xie Shi as "Duke of Nankang County", General Xie Xuan as "Duke of Kangle County", and Xie An's second son Xie Yan as "Duke of Wangcai County".

But the edict was not issued.

Sima Daozi hurriedly walked in and asked, "How did the imperial brother remember to seal the Xie family?" ”

Sima Yao said embarrassedly: "I didn't have time to discuss with you, Wang Ya said that Xie An automatically gave up power, and I needed to appease the Xie family, so I hurriedly issued an edict to reward you." ”

Sima Daozi looked disapproving, he said with a little arrogance: "Brother Huang, this is thinking about it, this world was originally the world of the Sima family, these powers are yours, the old thieves of the Xie family have occupied it for so many years, and now they are finally willing to return it to you, do we Sima family still want to be grateful to him?" What's more, according to the soldiers of Beifu, Xie Xuan has already hidden himself in Jiangbei and occupies the mountain as the king, and we are still rushing to reward them, wouldn't we be laughed at by the world? Let's see what kind of official positions you have sealed, Taifu? The Grand Governor? I want to ask you, Xie An is still alive and will use this top official title to give him the title, what will we do to posthumously seal him when he dies? Add nine tins to him? ”

At that time, this "nine tin" has become a symbol of usurpation, and the Sima family was originally subject to Cao Wei's nine tin, usurping the throne and creating the Jin Dynasty.

More than ten years ago, when Huan Wen tried to usurp the throne, he also asked the imperial court to add "Jiuxi" to him, but he was dragged by Xie An and did not add it, and he dragged Huan Wen to death.

The past is still in my ears, why isn't Sima Yao vigilant?

He really dispelled the idea of sealing the Xie family, and asked his younger brother: "Then according to you, what should we do?" ”

Sima Daozi didn't want to say more, he only said to the emperor mysteriously: "I have my own way, don't worry about it." ”

At this time, in Zang's Mansion and Xiyuan, there was a tense conversation.

It turned out that the last time Haginiang went to Jiankang's rice grain store to check the accounts, the woman that Li's mother recognized was the girl who served Ruan's side when Ruan's was waiting to give birth. Later, because the Zheng family entered the mansion, many Ruan's domestic slaves were squeezed out, so Hui Yu was driven out of the Zang family, and no one thought it was strange.

It's just that since this Hui Yu is the Ruan family's girl, no matter how she says it, she should be the opponent of the Zheng family, how could she be married to Zhao Ji, the powerful rice and grain store manager under the Zheng family? According to the results of Hagi Niang's repeated investigations after checking the accounts, the Zheng family used the two shops of the Zang family, one profit and one loss, and poured the money into his own pocket, and the most important person in the middle was Zhao Ji.

So what's going on with Hui Yu next to him? Why did the Zheng family marry the Nguyen family to their henchmen? Since Hui Yu has been kicked out of the Zang family, how can he obediently obey the Zheng family's orders?

With so many questions, Hagi Niang made up her mind and quietly brought Zhao Ji and Hui Yu back and secretly interrogated them in the West Garden.

At this time, Zang Xi was already accustomed to life in Zang Mansion. According to Li's mother's wishes, the Dongyuan where Zheng's two sons live should be vacated for Da Langjun to live. In ancient times, the east was the throne, which was more valuable than the west, just looking at the Empress Dowager of Cixi and Ci'an, the original Empress Ci'an was the Empress Dowager of the East, the Empress Dowager of the Mother, and the Empress Dowager of the West.

But Hagi Niang didn't believe this, she didn't want to toss the two young sons of the Zheng family, and she didn't even change the personnel of Dongyuan in the slightest, and she didn't put her own people in. Now, if she wants to, she naturally wants those two children to live wherever she wants, and she can do whatever she wants, but she just doesn't care about doing this kind of behavior.

Therefore, she just arranged Zang Xi in the empty back cover room in Xiyuan, and before she went to Liyang, she personally took Li's mother and others to clean up, and carefully arranged it, and when Zang Xi came back, he turned it back according to his own preferences.

Zang Xi followed Wang Yi to learn martial arts, and he learned the same as him, broad-minded, open-minded, and transparent, so he naturally didn't care about anything noble.

Zang Xi is a man, and it doesn't matter if Wang Yi lives in the same courtyard with him. It's just that Hagi Niang still lives in Xiyuan, and Hagi Niang didn't expect to bring a tricky "Master Wang" back before she went, so she could only symbolically block a railing between Xiyuan and the back cover room, indicating that this place is "men's stop".

Although Hagi Niang is extremely intelligent, she is also like Mrs. Ruan, who is blinded by loving her brother too much. After Zang Xi came back, he was still living in the beautiful and quiet courtyard arranged for him by his sister, just like in the Ruan family. She didn't want her brother to be involved in those complicated struggles, let alone his pure mind to be stained with dust. Therefore, such a matter as interrogating people in private will never ask Zang Xi to participate, even if it also involves the cause of death of his biological mother.
