Xie Xuan specially instructed his personal entourage to send Wang Yi to the Pengcheng army, and let his henchman, Guangling Minister Liu Gaozhi, take charge of Guangling's military affairs, and two of the three armies have been handled more properly, so Xie Xuan is a little relieved.

And the heavy troops in Jingkou, although they are numerous, and they are the most important military barrier in Jiangzuo to guard the core hinterland of Jiankang, but since Wang Gong has agreed with Xie Yan not to move the personnel in the army for the time being, there will be no major problems in the short term.

The ministers of the Jin court, including Xie An, had a very high evaluation of his stepbrother Wang Gong before his death, fully affirming his loyalty and loyalty, but there were some small shortcomings in his personality that were inflexible and too upright, and they were not major defects of principle, so there was nothing to worry about.

The most important thing is that Wang Gong and Wang Guobao are incompatible, so they will never be in the same league as Sima Daozi, and he is the queen's own brother, with a noble status, so he can naturally withstand the pressure exerted by Sima Daozi and others without being moved, so this is also an important reason why people are very optimistic about Wang Gong.

The Xie family here is very calm, and Sima Daozi over there is naturally very depressed.

Originally, Sima Daozi's plan was to eat all the forces of the Xie clan in one bite, and his greedy blood basin mouth had been opened, just waiting for a feast, who knew that a Wang Gong jumped out of the sky, and he was forced to agree to the emperor in public The emperor just asked about Guangling's military, and his enthusiasm was like being poured cold water, and he was extinguished a lot at once.

Although he received Xie An's generals from the Wei General's Mansion, but this is just some false names, and there is no real power, Sima Daozi and the emperor have been fighting against these feudal lords and feudal officials who control the military and political power since childhood, and naturally understands that it is meaningless to have only a false title, in fact, it is the patriarchs of those families who decide everything, and they have no room for interference.

Even if Xie An took the initiative to give up the position of Yangzhou Assassin Shi at the beginning, he has not sorted it out until now, and he can't get much actual military and political power, what kind of place is Yangzhou, it is the most important state and county around Jiankang, with rich products and dense population, if it can be in his own hands, it is a decisive and important bargaining chip. It's just that on this rich land, all the big families who moved from Jiangbei are gathered, and they have already divided and drawn their spheres of influence at the first time, and these families are married to each other and rely on each other, and they can't afford to provoke any of them. Therefore, this Yangzhou thorn history looks glamorous, but where is there room for his own interference?

Thinking of this, Sima Daozi was very depressed, blaming his brother for being too cowardly, resulting in his royal family not having as much power as those families.

In fact, this has nothing to do with who is the emperor, the key is determined by the unique political system at that time.

Sima Daozi's most powerful weight now is the right to speak in the court, and there are many appointments to important official positions, which he can ask and change.

However, the people he recommended were not valued by everyone, mainly because those noble families at that time disdained to have friendships with the royal family, and those who were willing to come to the door to please Sima Daozi were some low-born Han scholars, such as Zhao Ya, who spent a lot of money to build a house for him, and Ru Qianqiu, who flattered him, were all commoners with no family and no clan, and their ancestors had no high-ranking officials.

If you don't have friends, where will you come from?

The only family that is willing to rely on Sima Daozi is Wang Guobao, the sister-in-law of the Taiyuan Wang family, so this branch of the Taiyuan Wang family is on Sima Daozi's side, including Wang Guobao's brother Wang Xu.

Speaking of which, Wang Guobao was still the biological son of Wang Tanzhi, a famous minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who was as famous as Xie An, but he disregarded the righteousness of the monarch and the minister and joined Sima Daozi, which was simply perverse in the eyes of the people, so the reputation of Wang Guobao and Wang Xu also plummeted.

Therefore, Sima Daozi seems to be a powerful man, and he has a lot of power, but he has not penetrated into the real aristocratic circle behind the Jin Court, that is to say, his power is different from Xie An back then, he is actually not accepted by the family.

This scene is similar to the situation of Huan Wen back then, when Huan Wen gathered heavy troops and asked the first emperor Sima Yu to add nine tin for himself, Sima Yu was already terminally ill, and issued an edict to summon Huan Wen into the court, intending to give him the imperial throne, even Xie An and Wang Tanzhi could not stop the emperor from issuing an edict, so they could only watch Huan Wen come back to receive Zen.

The funny thing is that Huan Wen had a suspicious attack at this time, thinking that Sima Yu was pretending to be sick to deceive him to return to Jiankang, and planned to lure himself into the palace to kill him, so he didn't dare to believe this edict and didn't dare to enter the court.

At that time, the Huan clan was in power, and the hot nobles and nobles, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Jiangzhou and other important states and counties were all in the hands of the Huan clan, which can be said to be already rich and noble.

Under such a prestige, Huan Wen couldn't even inquire about whether the emperor was really sick in the palace, which can't help but say that the sons of the family led by Xie An and Wang Tanzhi do have their own set, and this heavy palace, even if they have more power and more generals, they can't penetrate it.

Although the current Sima Daozi is the emperor's own brother, he is also facing such a problem.

Although Concubine Li in the palace loves him, she is vulgar and ignorant of political affairs, and can only be his talisman, but in essence, she can't help him at all.

What's more, if Sima Daozi is ambitious, Concubine Li may not help him outright, after all, Sima Yao is also Concubine Li's biological son.

At this time, Sima Daozi has woken up a little from the excitement of taking power at the beginning, and can clearly see these political situations hidden under the surface, but he has already stood too tall at this time, sailing against the current, and if he does not advance, he will retreat, he can no longer give up the power in his hands, but must strive for more power, in order to stabilize his power, in order not to be pulled down.

Therefore, he had to ask Huan Xuan in front of him: "What do you have in mind for Jingdao?" Although there are many people in the court, I always feel that I don't really have all the power, Wang Xie and the two clans treat me coldly, and the emperor's henchmen Wang Ya, Chen Jun Yin's family, and Yingchuan Yu's clan all treat me with no pretense. ”

Huan Xuan was waiting for this sentence, he pretended to be embarrassed, and muttered to himself: "These sons of the family headed by Wang Xie are really difficult to get, and my father was also ......played by them back then."

Sima Daozi thought about it, he really sympathized with the same disease, his current situation is really a bit like Huan Wen back then, it's just that he hasn't done anything to usurp it, but who doesn't want to sit on the throne of the Ninety-Five? Instead of giving his brother's idiot son, it's better to sit by himself, and it's better than that idiot.
