Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 484 The face of the Sima family, the old man doesn't want to give it at all

If the decision rests with Sima Yao, as the emperor, as the beneficiary of the battle of Xiangyang, Sima Yao must give Xie Xuan a very respectable title.

What should I do?
There are many things that Sima Yao needs to consider. What exactly does the Xie family want most?
Is it those illusory titles?

Even if there is no title granted by the imperial court, the Xie family has never stopped occupying the countryside. In many cases, the consent of the imperial court is not required at all, let alone the approval of the emperor Sima Yao.

Many times, the Xie family has a new house, and Sima Yao still heard about it from the courtiers. Perhaps he was the last to know.

The wealth of the Xie family is accumulated like a sea of ​​mountains and mountains. To tell the truth, it is several times richer than that of the poor emperor Sima Yao.

So, as the nominal emperor of the Jin Dynasty, what else can Sima Yao give to the Xie family?
With these things in his hands, what else is Xie An rare?

Of course it's power!

Although Xie An can control the government, if he wants to go further in the official position and seize greater control, he has to use Sima Yao as a puppet.

To put it bluntly, whether Xie Xuan can go further this time does not depend on Sima Yao, but entirely on what Xie An means.

As long as he wants to push his nephew to this position, even if he asks Sima Yao to speak, he can only do so.

But doing so would make Sima Yao disgraced, and the relationship between the ruler and his subjects would worsen.

Did you lose consciousness when Sima Yao was drunk?

Of course not!
After all, he is also an emperor, and he has been doing it for many years and has rich experience. When Sima Yao first saw the battle report of the victory in Xiangyang, he immediately thought of Xie Xuan's award.

Xie Xuan is now a champion general, although this is only a third-rank, but in Dajin, this is already the highest official position of a real power general.

It's not that there are no more generals, but those are empty positions, and they are of no great use to Xie Xuan.

So, with a big push from Sima Yao, he handed over all matters concerning the award to Xie An. You can do whatever you want. It's all up to you, Xie!

"However, Your Majesty has already said that, he will arrange whatever Duke Xie said, and he will all obey Duke Xie."

"Now that Duke Xie has opened his mouth, we are going to present his meaning to His Majesty."

"Will Your Majesty say no?"

Xi Hui keenly saw that on this issue, Sima Yao had dug a big hole for himself. Perhaps Sima Yao was sure at the beginning that Xie An would give him a face, only the reward, not the official position, or he would give it to Xie Xuan A higher title will do.

Neither side hurts face.

Who knows, Lao Xie just calculated his mind and came up with a direct move. This time, what else can Sima Yao do?
If you don't agree, it will make Xie An unhappy.

Besides, he didn't dare.

Today, whether it is the emperor Sima Yao or the entire Great Jin court, they all rely on the Beifu soldiers. It is clear to everyone in the Great Jin that without the Beifu soldiers, the Great Jin almost loses the strength to resist foreign enemies.

However, only the Xie family can control such an important force defending the security of the Dajin border.

To others, it is impossible to direct it at all.

Even if he was 1 unwilling, Sima Yao could only reluctantly agree to Xie An's request.

"However, if Duke Xie must do this, why didn't he pick up the military forces himself?"

"With his prestige, isn't his age much more suitable than Xie Xuan?" Xi Hui did not want to believe that Xie An, who had always been steady, would suddenly come forward and make such excessive demands.

He is still looking for answers in his own way.

Wang Gong had already seen through Xie An's mind.

"You can't even see that!" Wang Gong stared at Xi Hui with a foolish look in his eyes.

Born with a good appearance, but his mind is not bright.

"Xie Gong's move is not just for himself, he is for the entire Xie clan, and he sees that the younger generation will be neutral in the dynasty."

"After all, he is getting old, and the government will be in his hands. It won't be too long. It will always pave the way for future generations."

"Will he pave the way for the two of us? Of course, to promote his own family."

"Now, Xie Xuan is the best talent among the younger generation of the Xie family."

"If you don't give Xie Xuan this military position at home and abroad, who else can you give it to?"

"Always hand over."

"That's what happened."

"Looking at it this way, in the near future, in this court, we will obey Xie Xuan." Xi Hui finally had an epiphany.

The two chatted and ate and drank without delay.It was fully proved that Xie An's expectations were not wrong at all.

These two colleagues, although they seem to be very tight, are actually not the kind of neat and tidy personalities.

Absolutely cannot afford to let go.

You see, no one particularly persuaded them, not even Xie An's right-hand man Xie Ning, did not stop by their side to serve one or two.

Two brothers, one for you and one for me. I drank the wine vigorously and ate a lot of food.

Didn't they refuse to stay for dinner?

In this way, even if Xie An went to take a nap, their brothers would not feel that time passed slowly.

"Then what should we do?" Wang Gong put the Xiangyang battle report back into his sleeve, it was getting late, and taking a break was just an excuse for Xie An.

It is estimated that the old man will not come out to see guests again.

After eating and drinking, this trip is not in vain, and it is time to slap the butt and leave.

"Of course, it is to formulate the will of Duke Xie and let your majesty decide!"

"They are competing on both sides, and it is none of our business at all. We just need to eat and drink well and watch the changes."

In comparison, Xi Hui was a straightforward man, and he suddenly realized that they, the children of other aristocratic families, actually didn't have to participate too much in this matter.

Just let the Xie family and the Sima family compete. Only when they decide the winner and loser can others have a hand in it.

…………

"Brother, they are all gone."

Wang Gong and Xi Hui never imagined that in the back of the main hall where they were sitting, separated by a screen, Xie An's younger brother, Xie Shi, was sitting here.

From just now, their every move, those inaudible words, were all heard by him.

The servants came up to clean up the tableware, and Xie Shi just turned a few corridors to report the situation to Xie An.

And what is Xie An doing at this time?

Of course he wasn't resting. Seeing that the two juniors all fell for him, Xie An couldn't be more excited, how could he be willing to sleep.

He called Xie Shi and arranged for him to eavesdrop, just in order to understand the private remarks of the younger ministers.

In fact, Xie An could roughly guess what they said, but he was still curious.

This is the difference between Xie An and some old and powerful officials. Many people will gradually lose their real sense of being a man after being an official for a long time.

In their eyes, only power is left, and his life is only about holding power and fighting for power. Apart from this, they have almost nothing to do, and they can't do anything.
