Chapter 141: The Fall (2)
"The loyal minister of the Han Dynasty once said, 'Conquering the Yi must first be settled', which is indeed a wise saying, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty royal family has been fighting again and again, and they have no mind to manage the Northern Expedition. I'm afraid that after my death, the first thing the emperor will do is to take back the army for his own use, not thinking about the Northern Expedition but only thinking about fighting for power, which is helpless for him, but it is very unfavorable to the national fortune of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. There is another thing, Youdu, I'm afraid that in addition to the emperor, there are many people who covet your military power, after I die, you and Yan'er will have to keep filial piety, what do you have in mind? ”
Xie Xuan didn't expect him to ask so bluntly, and said shamefully: "I have already taken care of this matter, my original army Liu Jiaozhi is now the minister of Guangling, and I plan to let him replace me to guard Pengcheng, so that Zhu Xu, the assassin of Yuzhou, will guard Guangling, and Wang Gong, the assassin of Qingzhou, will guard Jingkou. ”
Xie An listened to what he said, and couldn't help but look longing at the north, looking forward to a future that he could no longer see.
Liu Gaozhi was a general of the Beifu soldiers who broke through Fu Jian in the First Battle of Weishui, so he was promoted by Xie Xuan, so he was very loyal to him; Zhu Xu, the assassin of Yuzhou, made great contributions in the battle of Weishui, and was loyal to the emperor; Wang Gong is the elder brother of Queen Wang Fahui, the sister-in-law of his stepfather Wang Yun, with a noble status, and he is also the sworn enemy of Sima Daozi and his minister Wang Guobao. With these few people in charge, it is already a very far-sighted consideration.
Xie An shook his head after hearing Xie Xuan's words, and said: "Liu Gaozhi's person, I think he is acting as a person, it doesn't seem like he can do things, although Zhu Xu is not very good at using soldiers, he is a loyal and brave person, he can use him to garrison Pengcheng in the outermost area, and find another reliable person to guard Guangling." ”
Xie Xuan hurriedly nodded yes, his uncle is very accurate, and he will not be wrong.
Xie An asked again: "If after you return to Jiankang, Sima Daozi asks you to hand over the military power to him by the emperor's order, what should you do?" ”
Xie Xuan hesitated and said, "Since I handed it over to him, do I want to disobey the emperor's order and lead the army to rebel?" ”
Xie An smiled slightly: "I don't rebel, but don't be too honest, I will hand it in immediately, I always have to make him have some twists and turns, so that you can think that what you handed over to him is the real full military power." ”
Does this mean that you should not hand over all your military powers? Xie Xuan looked at Xie An suspiciously.
Xie An smiled leisurely: "Loyal ministers and loyal ministers are naturally loyal to the royal family, don't say that Sima Daozi is just the emperor's younger brother, that is, the emperor himself, if he is absurd and violent, he must not be foolish and loyal." If Sima Daozi gets all your military power and can do whatever he wants, you are the culprit, how can you say that you are a good minister loyal to the royal family? ”
Xie Xuan suddenly realized at this time, and said ashamedly: "It's because I only want to fulfill the reputation of the Xie family, but I didn't consider it for the fortunes of the country, it's too narrow-minded. ”
Xie An was very relieved to see that he understood the matter and was not entangled in righteousness, etiquette, and law, and said to Xie Yan: "In the future, you will respect your brother and discuss everything with him." I'm not worried about your talents and temperament, I'm just afraid that you're obsessed with ......."
He didn't continue, but sighed, "That's it, it's not something I can know......"
Xie Yan hurriedly agreed, indicating that he would definitely obey his brother's teachings and never act recklessly.
Xie An finally said: "However, the strangest thing is that in addition to seeing my own dim stars, I actually saw the emperor's star twinkling, as if there is a tendency to disappear, I am afraid that in just a few years, the emperor's position will change hands." However, the emperor was in his prime, and he should not have died suddenly, but he didn't know why. ”
Xie Xuan and Xie Yan looked at each other, shocked.
Xie Yan inquired about what Xie An said, and he was worried and uneasy, his mind did not belong, and he only sat in the room every day.
He looked at the picture of the Water Moon Guanyin hanging on the incense table obsessively, and missed the gentle and lovely sister-in-law in the painting even more.
At this time, Xie Xuan happened to come to visit him, he walked in gently, and when he saw him with such a look of admiration, he couldn't help but look at Guanyin in the painting suspiciously, and teased him jokingly: "Your maids all say that you are alone in the room to enlighten the Tao, who knows that you are actually not right, and even dare to covet the beauty of the gods and Buddhas?" ”
Xie Yan usually doesn't let others disturb him at will, but when he saw that his brother was coming, he embarrassedly covered it up: "This painting is the handwriting of Mr. Sanjue, and even the subtleties are depicted very smoothly, which seems to be easy to come by." Gu everyone's exquisite skills are indispensable, and it must be said that it was a must at that time. ”
Xie Xuan saw that he didn't want to talk deeply, and he didn't say anything, and saw the gloomy look on his face, so he persuaded him: "Don't take it too seriously, I haven't seen anyone who can really predict their future." Even my uncle, no matter how talented he is, can't fully anticipate the world, maybe his speculation is not very accurate or necessarily. ”
Xie Yan was convinced of his father, shaking his head but not speaking.
Xie Xuan actually admired Xie An very much, so he didn't believe it himself, just to comfort Xie Yan.
Xie Yan said: "When I was a child, my father always taught us that the Tao is natural, and we should not be too attached to external objects. Our children of the Xie family are originally the character of being unmoved by everything and everything. Who knows that now I am really facing such a thing, but I can't do it, I am really ashamed. ”
Xie Xuan thought that he was talking about being obsessed with his father's kinship, so he couldn't help but sigh and talk about what happened when he was a child.
It turned out that Xie Xuan was misled by others when he was a child, and he liked to wear those violet sachets that were loved by **, Xie An saw it, but he did not reprimand or make fun of him, but played chess with him, and used the violet sachet on his body as a bet to win his sachet and threw it into the fire in front of him. Seeing Xie An's behavior, he realized that this kind of thing was not suitable for him to wear, and he couldn't help but feel very ashamed, and never wore such jewelry again.
As the prime minister of the dynasty, Xie An's education of his sons and nephews is still so delicate and gentle, which is really impossible for others to do.
When Xie Yan heard this, he admired his father even more, and he was fascinated leisurely, only feeling that he was really far behind his father, where would the Xie family go in his hands? He was depressed at this time, and the appearance of suffering from gains and losses made Xie Xuan very heartbroken.
Xie Xuan persuaded again: "Why don't we go out fishing together, you will worry your uncle even more if you sit in the room all day long." ”
Xie Yan knew that he was just worried about himself, so he cheered up and said, "Brother, I'm really not in the mood, so let me be alone and quiet." ”
He forced himself to take a sip of tea calmly, and he didn't even notice that the tea had spilled on his clothes, which really made Xie Xuan feel very pitiful.
No matter how smart and the people in the city government are, they also have their own dead holes, no wonder he can't think about it, maybe he can figure it out after a while.
Xie Xuan was no longer reluctant and quietly retreated.
