Chapter 184: Sunset (4)
Xie Yan really did as he said, standing on one side with his back to the side, and did not look back at her behavior, at this time, when he heard the call of the Wang family, he turned around and strode over, and with a push, he saw that it was quite bright in front of him, and the door was open, which was the dark room in the study of King Huiji.
The design here is quite exquisite, although there are no windows, there is a bright and flickering sun on the top, obviously there are breathable holes, and the walls are very thick, seemingly hollow, obviously set up for sound insulation, but I am afraid that I will yell in this room, and people outside will not be able to hear it.
Among the aristocratic families, who does not have one or two secret rooms in the dark room, but it is rare to see such an exquisitely designed and unique secret room as King Huiji, if you don't see it with your own eyes, who would have guessed that King Huiji would set up a secret room in such a place.
Xie Yan slowly looked at the situation in the room, and saw that there were several couches here, which were quite comfortably arranged, and he only felt that this place was not a place for King Huiji to hide, but a place to meet special guests and talk secretly. He was suspicious in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Wang with inquiring eyes.
Wang immediately said: "The concubine body only knows about the secret room of the prince, if there is another place, it is in the hands of the prince himself, not that the concubine can put the beak, and the concubine body cannot be informed." ”
Xie Yan smiled and said: "What does the princess mean, will she return to the queen mother like this?" ”
Wang said helplessly: "I really don't know the concubine's body, and most of the things in the prince's private treasury are gold and silver, and I don't want to come to General Xie." The conversation here was not afraid of being heard by others, so she tried to pray: "Why don't you raise your noble hand and let me go of the Wangfu, if you don't mention it, others will naturally not mention it, and even if you miss one or two places, as long as you don't say it, who will come to inquire carefully?" ”
Xie Yan was waiting for this sentence, and he asked with a smile: "But, why should I risk being known by the Empress Dowager to take care of your mansion's reputation?" ”
Listening to the meaning of his words, Wang seemed to have a lot of room for discussion, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
Wang Shida began to think about it when he learned that Xie Yan and the two entered the door, there are so many courtiers in the court who can be assigned, why would the queen mother send Xie Yan, who is in mourning, to come? And the Xie family did not hesitate to take over this matter, and implemented it very seriously, in the middle, what tacit understanding was reached between Wang Fahui and Xie Yan? If the Taiyuan Wang clan and the Chenjun Xie clan had already joined hands, then it would be useless to talk about it, so she would no longer be in vain.
However, judging from what Xie Yan said just now, it seems that there is still room for discussion with himself, and he is not bent on only Wang Fahui and Ma Zheng.
Therefore, she replied carefully: "The general said that it was a joke, my husband and Xie were officials in the same dynasty back then, and they were quite friendly, even after the death of Xie Xiang, the prince also respected the Xie family very much, and did not arbitrarily manipulate the Jiangbei military because he was in a high position." Let's tell you the truth, when the first emperor was still alive, he mentioned many times that he wanted to reduce armaments and recuperate, and even the queen at that time, that is, the current queen mother, was in favor, but they were all stopped by the prince. ”
Although this statement is more in line with objective facts, Sima Daozi's motives for acting like this are completely different.
Sima Daozi did not move the Jiangbei military because he could not send Liu Gaozhi, the minister of Guangling, and Zhu Xu, the assassin of Yuzhou.
At that time, the first emperor wanted to truce and raise troops, but it was to accumulate troops for his own use, and the king of Huiji, who had different political views, naturally could not support this matter. It's like two dogs fighting over a piece of fat, and if one of them knows that the fat can't get into his stomach, he'd rather have the meat taken away by someone else than the other can only eat the fat. This kind of mentality of angry people and laughing people is really easy to understand.
However, if the Wang family can make a promise that the king will never ask the Jiangbei military, there may still be room for negotiation in this matter.
Xie Yan smiled faintly, and did not take Wang's words to heart.
Seeing this, Wang's heart was anxious, and he hurriedly threw out the words he had hidden and didn't say, and said with persistent efforts: "When the prince is at home, he often talks to me about today's state affairs and courtiers, and when he talks about others, he often has a lot of criticism, saying that the elders of your family, but he has always praised it, not only your father, even if it is a champion general, the prince is also very appreciative, and often says that as long as there is the Xie family and the Beifu soldiers, it is not impossible to regain the lost territory and enter the Central Plains." ”
The Wang family's entry point is really correct, and now the Xie family is most concerned about the control of the Beifu soldiers, and the most worrying thing is that the imperial court will no longer support the Northern Expedition. Although in the eyes of the Wang family, the Xie family is reluctant to hold the military power in their hands, but the crooked fight can be regarded as saying that Xie Yan's heart is right. Therefore, she was implicitly promising Xie Yan that if this matter passed, King Huiji would fully support the Xie family in charge of the army and would never interfere in the affairs of the army again.
Xie Yan's calm face did have a slightly loosened expression, his unusually bright eyes were shining and radiant, he looked at the Wang family, and asked: "The princess's words are indeed well understood, but the king of Huiji has always been capricious, even the first emperor can't control it, how does the princess know what the prince thinks at this moment?" ”
Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough, no matter whether it was a good dog or a leper dog, as long as he used the right bait, he would bite it in one bite.
Since the Xie family wants to give a promise by themselves, then give it well, anyway, they are a woman, and it is not a big deal to be untrustworthy.
She settled down a little in her heart, and said flatteringly: "Since the general is my own person, I won't lie to you." If the general is stable and impartial, the prince naturally does not have to worry about you and Wang Gong's shameless villain to oppose the royal family and covet the imperial power. If this is the case, how could the prince do anything excessive to chill the Xie family? After all, it's better to have one more friend than one more enemy. ”
Xie Yan was speechless, who is your own person, and who is friends with you?
However, he still maintained his usual gentle expression on his face, and asked with a smile, "Oh? It turns out that King Huiji just wants the Xie family to be 'impartial'? ”
The two of them talked to this point, Wang really couldn't pretend not to understand Xie Yan's meaning, although she was surprised in her heart, but more but still snickered, when Sima Daozi and Wang Fahui were fighting for power, what King Huiji needed most was the support of the nobles of the family, the stronger the better, such as the Xie family, a century-old family, not only held the military power, but also the descendant of the former prime minister Xie An, won the popularity, if you can support the king of Huiji, it is simply a one-sided situation.
Such a big pie suddenly fell from the sky, and it almost stunned Princess Huiji, and she asked in a lost voice: "Could it be that the Xie family is willing to support my husband?" ”
Xie Yan didn't answer directly, but the smiling expression and meaningful look made people not mistaken.
