On the day of August 22 of the tenth year of the Taiyuan Dynasty, Xie An, the most outstanding politician and military strategist in the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and also known as "poetry and wine", passed away suddenly.

He was in charge of the Eastern Jin Dynasty for 16 years, like a bright moon in the night, shining on the weak Eastern Jin Dynasty royal family, reviving the national and military strength of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, under the conquest of his nephew Xie Xuan, the territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty expanded to an unprecedented vastness, not only recovered Luoyang, but also once almost laid down Yecheng, from the original according to the river and Tun, to the current war according to the river, it is really an unparalleled great achievement.

In addition to Xie Yan and Xie Xuan, the most sad thing about his death is that there is also an emperor Sima Yao who was raised by Xie An since he was a child.

Therefore, Xie An's mourning after his death can be said to have reached the apex of the ministers, not only posthumously awarded the highest official Taifu and Luling County Duke of Zhengyipin, but also the nephew of the Xie family, Xie An's younger brother Xie Shi was named the Duke of Nankang County, his nephew Xie Xuan was named the Duke of Kangle County, and his son-in-law Xie Yan was named the Duke of Wangcai County.

The nephew of the Xie family was crying bitterly in the Xie Mansion, but Sima Daozi was very happy at this time.

He was meeting Huan Xuan in his living room in high spirits, patted him on the shoulder with both hands, and said appreciatively: "Jingdao is really clever, and he has lived up to the expectations of this king." ”

Huan Xuan was secretly amused, but there was no show on his face, and he said modestly: "It's only because of your reuse that I can display my talents." "Therefore, all this is your own credit, and I dare not take credit for it.

Sima Daozi really used it, and said with a straight smile: "This king also thinks that he really knows people very well, so he won't make the pearl dusty." ”

After the two of them exchanged polite words, Sima Daozi asked very intimately: "Jingdao has made this immortal achievement this time, do you want this king to reward you with something?" What he thought in his heart was that Huan Xuan did his best to help him do such an important thing, even if he begged for the history of Jingzhou, he had to help him plan, but he really couldn't, he was shameless to pester the emperor every day, and he had some hope to succeed.

However, Huan Xuan didn't need him to speak for himself in front of the emperor at this time, he just smiled humbly and said: "It's a trivial matter, I really don't dare to rely on this, let alone ask you for anything." Saying this, he paused, and seemed to be a little embarrassed to speak.

Sima Daozi knew that this was just foreshadowing, so he was not surprised, and he didn't interject, just quietly waited for him to continue.

Huan Xuan said quite embarrassedly: "It's nothing special, it's just that when I entered the palace the day before yesterday, I happened to see a palace maid who looked very similar to my childhood playmate, so I wanted to ask you to give her to me as a concubine, not for anything else, but I was very nostalgic." ”

Sima Daozi listened to what he asked for was such a trivial matter, it was a gesture for himself, and he couldn't help but be very happy, and finally let go of his heart, held his hand with a smile, and praised him: "Jingdao is really a person in temperament, although this matter is quite troublesome, but I am the emperor's own brother, I can always find a way to solve the affairs in the palace for you, you tell me the appearance of the palace maid, and I will go and do it for you." Then you will invite me to drink your concubine wine......"

The two talked happily, but at this time, the next person came to report that the princess asked to see him. Sima Daozi's princess is the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family and the cousin of Wang Guobao, and she must have something to find King Huiji at this time, so Huan Xuan hurriedly retired with a very good look, and Sima Daozi didn't dare to keep him.

Huan Xuan walked out slowly, only to hear a woman's coquettish voice behind him: "Lord Wang, you promised me last time, when Xie An dies, let my brother be the deputy prime minister......"

How Sima Daozi answered, Huan Xuan didn't hear it, he just sneered in his heart, this Wang Guobao is also a drill camp, it's just that it's not good to follow anyone, and he followed such a ruthless, unrighteous, timid and fearful Sima Daozi. Even if there is great glory and wealth, then you have to have a life to enjoy it.

Although Emperor Sima Yao was sad at this time, he was more worried about Xie An's death, the incident happened suddenly, Xie An did not arrange how to deal with various political and military situations in all aspects after his death, Sima Yao is stupid, and he also knows that every second counts, and he must decide all this immediately, so as not to be taken first by his younger brother, and strike first.

The two highest-ranking women of the Taiyuan royal family seemed to have the same idea, and just when Sima Yao was very worried, the palace maid reported that the queen had arrived.

Empress Fahui really came for Xie An, and the emperor couldn't help but feel much better about her because he owed her a favor in Miaoyin's matter. If it weren't for the empress who took Miaoyin in the first place, the emperor and Sima Daozi didn't know how many scandals would be caused in this matter. And although the queen let Miaoyin live in her palace, she did not treat her harshly, treated her very politely, and did not lose her temper because the emperor went to her too many times, so the emperor was still very grateful to her.

Wang Fahui came in and bowed down to the emperor very politely, and couldn't help but make him a little flattered, and hurriedly helped her up and said, "The queen has something to say, why do you make this big gift?" ”

The empress smiled gracefully, got up and sat down on the side, and asked, "Is the emperor worried about the death of Xie Xiang?" ”

It's also strange to say, although Sima Daozi is now a scholar of the record, which is equivalent to the position of prime minister, but when everyone talks about Xie An, they are still used to calling him "Xie Xiang", even the emperor and empress.

The emperor could only nod silently, and said worriedly: "My younger brother who is not a weapon is already unscrupulous, if he is allowed to get the military power of the Xie family, I am afraid that the story of Zhuang Gong and Gongshu Duan will be repeated, and the country will be in chaos again." ”

It is well known that Concubine Li favors Sima Daozi, and Sima Daozi's increasing arrogance is also a problem for the emperor, which is almost the same as the civil strife in Zheng during the Spring and Autumn Period.

It was this opportunity that the queen was waiting for, and she knocked on the side and said: "Sima Daozi has many henchmen, which is also the main reason why he can control the government without being impeached by the ministers, why don't you also cultivate your own cronies, so that you can contain your brother and prevent him from being able to do whatever he wants?" ”

The emperor has not tried, and his most favored "treasure of the Langmiao" Yin Zhongkan was sent to Jingzhou by himself, and as a member of the party, he mastered this piece of military and political power in Jingchu. However, Sima Daozi himself received the history of Yangzhou Thorn, Yangzhou was a large state and county in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, including Jiankang and its surrounding areas, which can be said to be the lifeblood of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, compared to Jingzhou, which is vast, but far away from the Jingshi is more important.

At this time, the only powerful adviser beside him was Shangshu Wang Ya, and if he was also released, he would be weak, and he would be even more powerless against Sima Daozi.

He was helpless when he thought about it, so he could only ask lazily: "I don't know what the queen thinks?" ”
