Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 918 Mediation
In order to welcome Xie An, Wang Zhenying also asked the maids to open the door of the palace to make way for them to express their welcome.

As for the Empress Dowager herself, she returned to the couch and sat upright.

Waiting for the challenge!

It will definitely be a challenge!
There is no doubt about that.

Frankly speaking, this is the first time that Wang Zhenying has met such an important official, and he is still a respected and absolute veteran.

In the past, although Wang Gong had to go to the palace from time to time, and although Wang Gong's official position was high enough, he was his elder brother, so naturally there was nothing to worry about.

You can say whatever you want, and it doesn't matter if you say something wrong, anyway, it's my brother, so it doesn't matter if you get angry.

However, Xie Anke was different.

Before Wang Zhenying entered the palace, Xie An was already an important minister of the court and a well-known celebrity.

Now, Wang Zhenying was about to fight a celebrity like Xie An in person, not to mention fear, at least there was nervousness and excitement.

I was very excited, like a primary school student who was about to take an exam.

In other words, Xie An can be regarded as Wang Zhenying's elder. When she was still outside the palace, the relationship between the two families was okay.

At that time, she still met Xie An.

And since entering the palace, even if they met, they were all court banquets, very formal occasions.

Calculated, this should be the first time she met Xie An alone in the past ten years.

But this time, Wang Zhenying's identity has changed drastically.

The relationship between the two has changed from a relationship between seniors and juniors to a relationship between a monarch and a minister. How Xie An will deal with it and what attitude Wang Zhenying will take towards him is really something to look forward to.

But at this moment, Xie An's figure appeared outside the palace gate.

Although Wang Zhenying's eyes did not show Xie An's appearance, but from the sound of his walking, one can roughly tell that Mr. Xie's health is very good.

Incredibly good.

"Thank you sir."

"Meet the Empress Dowager."

Xie An finally stepped forward and met Wang Zhenying face to face.

He saluted respectfully, and actually used the word "greetings".

However, in terms of politeness, Wang Zhenying was better, after all, she was the one who spoke first.

"Thank you, please sit down."

A character like Xie An, of course, can't just stand there, it is inevitable to give him a seat.

However, Xie An is not from his own family, he is different from Wang Gong, even if Wang Gong sees Wang Zhenying now, he is still a foreign minister, but no one in the palace knows that this is the uncle of Qin Qinguo.

So, no matter how restrained she was, Wang Zhenying didn't have to hold her back too much in front of Wang Gong.

But it was different in front of Xie An, it had to be held up, and it had to be presented at a high level, not only to make Xie An feel kind, but also not to lose the prestige of the empress dowager.

This is a technical job.

Compared to Wang Zhenying who was always ready to fight, Xie An was very relaxed.

This is also something that can't be helped. With age and seniority, Xie An has almost no pressure in front of a junior like Wang Zhenying.

"Ever since the new emperor came to the throne, the veteran has never entered the palace to meet the empress dowager. Thinking about it, it is very rude. I hope the empress dowager will not blame her."

How can it be blamed?
Wang Zhenying did not have that qualification either.

"Grandpa Xie was joking. Mr. Xie is old, and he has seldom gone to court in these years. I also know this. It's not in the way, it's not in the way."

"I am very satisfied that Mr. Xie can come now. Mr. Xie has rich experience in court, and I need Mr. Xie's guidance as I am in charge of the harem for the first time."

Xie An nodded slightly, and found that the Wang Zhenying of today is indeed very different from the memory.

In my memory, Wang Zhenying only felt that she was a very stubborn and hard-headed little lady, and because Wang Gong insisted on sending her to the palace to become a queen, she was depressed for several months.

At that time, Wang Zhenying was very opposed to entering the palace.

However, seeing her today, her appearance has not changed much, but her temperament has changed a lot.

He became more tactful in speaking and doing things, and his temper seemed to be a little more mellow.

On the one hand, this must be the effect of the years.After so many years, Wang Zhenying's temperament will definitely not be as pure as Girls' Generation.

On the other hand, obviously, it is the grind of life in the harem.

Although they seldom met each other, Xie An had heard more or less about what happened to Wang Zhenying in these years. This Empress of the Cold Palace had been at odds with Sima Yao for many years of marriage.

She also has such a stubborn temper, facing such a situation, naturally only she can be sullen.

Because obviously, in this battle between husband and wife, it is definitely Sima Yao who has the upper hand, not Wang Zhenying.

After all, he is the emperor, besides Wang Zhenying, there are many choices. If you are not comfortable here, go to other places, such as Mrs. Zhang.

And what about Wang Zhenying?
Even if he suffers from being dumb, he can only swallow his anger.

She didn't even get to go back to her natal family. In such a day, one year, two years, three years or four years later, it would be strange if her temperament was still the same as that of Girls' Generation.

So, entering the palace this time, Xie An's attitude was very good.

He let Wang Zhenying do it, and he didn't intend to confront her, not only because he sympathized with her, but also because she was a lovely junior, and he, Xie An, watched her grow up.

Xie An's attitude towards Wang Zhenying was similar to that of Xie Minghui.

He was also thinking about finding a suitable time to convey his feelings, maybe he could hear more Wang Zhenying's sincere words.

"Since the empress said so, the old minister will not be polite."

Wang Zhenying smiled and said, "I'm waiting here, Mr. Xie, but it's okay."

OK!

Straight to the point is the best!

In this way, it is convenient for both sides, and there is no need to go around and try, and there is no need to make endless guesses.

The servants and maids around Wang Zhenying were all very qualified. Upon hearing this, they immediately realized that the Empress Dowager and Xie Gong were about to talk about serious matters.

Quickly tidy up, get together, and exit the hall quickly.

They really couldn't walk away, and they all slipped away and stood like little goldfish.

Seeing the reaction of the servants, Xie An nodded in relief, yes, it seems that the little lady Zhenying really has means.

The servants in this palace are much more disciplined than when Sima Yao was still alive.

It can be seen that Wang Zhenying's control over them is still very strict.

"The old man heard yesterday that a few days ago, the empress donated a sum of gold, silver and jewelry to the general workshop to make weapons. To be honest, since I heard about this, the old man made up his mind at that time that he must come to the palace. Meet your mother."

"Your Majesty is really a chivalrous lady. It has been many years, and I have never seen the empresses in the harem support the affairs of the previous dynasty."

"The old man is really full of emotion."

Xie An didn't hide the source of the news, he just heard it from Wang Gong. After that, they wanted to mention Wang Gong more, but they couldn't hide it at all.

Furthermore, with the relationship between Wang Zhenying and Wang Gong, it is too easy to know the truth.

Concealing it would make Xie An a different person both inside and outside.

This time, he was able to enter the palace ahead of Wang Gong, and seeing Wang Zhenying was considered a blessing, so he should be frank and frank.

Wang Zhenying also felt the same way.

Then he smiled and said: "I also heard that yesterday, Eldest Brother held a grand banquet at the mansion, Xie Gong also attended, it really gave Eldest Brother enough face."

"I also want to thank Mr. Xie. In the past few years, the relationship between the two families has not been very good. I also know this. Most of the responsibilities are on the elder brother's side. If the elder brother insisted on losing his temper, our two families It’s not like that.”

"Xie Gong is right. I did give General Workshop a sum of money, but it was only a very small sum of money, and I just tried my best."

"Since Mr. Xie is here, you might as well make some things clear. No matter how big brother is, I absolutely support Beifu soldiers."

Xie An's expression was slightly stagnant, but he never expected that Wang Zhenying would express her attitude so positively and openly.

This really made him a bit ashamed of the old man.

It seems that there is a suspicion of judging the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"Why did the Empress Dowager make such a statement?"

"I believe that Aning also supports Beifu. Aning and I have the same thoughts on this point."

Wang Zhenying smiled slightly, noncommittal.

"Xie Gong, I've told the truth, so don't hide it anymore. I still know exactly what big brother thinks."

"He has always been afraid of the Beifu. This is obvious. If the Beifu is in trouble, he will not willingly support it."

"Perhaps, sending the Beifu to him and letting him decide everything may change his mind."

oops.

If she said that, then Xie An would have nothing to say.

"This……"

"It seems that the Empress Dowager understands Aning better than I do after all."

At the critical moment, Xie An was still humble.

Wang Zhenying didn't bother, she had a different identity now, she was the queen mother, and with real power, the court needed her to control the direction.

She wants to do practical things, and she doesn't like to do those silly things.

"Xie Gong, I also know what you mean by entering the palace today. I can explain it without you asking."

"I fully support the Beifu army and the generals of the Beifu. Don't be surprised. I didn't do this to fight against the eldest brother."

"I did this because I am the Empress Dowager. What I want to focus on is the overall situation. Whoever can expand the territory of the Jin Dynasty and whoever can win the battle, I will support whoever."

"Now, under the leadership of Wang Zhiyuan, the Beifu soldiers have greatly increased their combat effectiveness and are invincible in Jiangbei. As the Empress Dowager of the Great Jin Dynasty, I will naturally give my full support."

"I know that Mr. Xie has been in contact with Zhiyuan, and he listens to you very much. You might as well tell him for me that from Xuzhou to Jingkou, and then to Jiankang, even if he comes back, the court will not have any objections. It won't embarrass him either."

"With me in charge, he can rest assured."

This……

Wang Zhenying was so frank, but Xie An was a little embarrassed there, not knowing what to say, Wang Zhenying's performance was completely different from what he had imagined.

"Is everything the queen mother said true?"

"With all due respect, I really can't believe it."

"This matter is of great importance. I really can't make a rash decision. This is a major event that involves the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of soldiers in Beifu and Zhiyuan!"

"I also ask the empress dowager to think twice before speaking."

Xie An actually raised this matter to the level of life and death, and the fact is the same. Although it seems that today's conversation is just a simple and ordinary conversation, in fact, it really involves a huge amount.

Without Wang Gong or Wang Zhenying's statement, to be honest, Xie An would not dare to let Wang Mi and the others go back to the city.

Too dangerous!

Especially after hearing that the battle report has been sent this morning, Wang Mi has already stated that he will return to Jiankang as scheduled!

Xie An became even more anxious.

He even wanted to take his troops out of the city to meet him, so as to protect him well.

Only then can those people with ulterior motives, yes, that's Wang Gong, lay hands on him.

Xie An did not deny that he entered the palace this time to force Wang Zhenying to express his opinion, or to test her mind.

But now, Wang Zhenying really made a statement as he imagined, and this statement was in line with Xie An's mind.

However, Xie An was not happy at all.

Instead, it made him more uneasy.

so happy?

So supportive?

Can this really happen in the Jin court?

Could it be too smooth?
Wang Zhenying is Wang Gong's biological sister. They have a good relationship and cooperation all the time. Could this be their conspiracy?

In order to trick Zhiyuan and the others back?

"how?"

"Xie Gong, you still don't believe me?"

Seeing Wang Zhenying's displeasure, Xie An quickly made amends: "No, how dare the old minister?"

"The empress dowager is worrying too much."

"The old minister is just thinking about it. After all, Niang Niang and Aning are relatives. With Aning's attitude, Niang Niang must have some scruples."

"How could it be possible to fight against Ah Ning? Although the old minister hopes that the empress dowager can support the Beifu, he also understands the difficulties of the empress dowager, and will definitely not embarrass the empress."

This is human nature, Xie An understands it, and will not force Wang Zhenying, and moreover, forcing does not necessarily lead to a good end.

If Wang Zhenying promised well here, but secretly did something else, wouldn't that harm both Zhiyuan and Beifu's army?
Xie An was extremely nervous, but Wang Zhenying was not in a hurry.

"Xie Gong, you look down on me too much. Since I dare to say this, I will definitely do it."

"As for the elder brother, you also talked about it yesterday. I think what he thinks. You know very well. In fact, the elder brother is a very timid person. As long as Zhiyuan and the others pull the army into the city and make a show, he will Absolutely dare not make trouble."

"The best he can do is to trip up the generals of the Jin army, deny them rewards, and deprive them of their military power."

"However, if he wants to do these things, he has to go through me, and I will definitely not agree."

"Although I am young and have little experience, there is a saying that I also know. A politician should be rewarded and punished."

"The soldiers of the Beifu are brave and good at fighting. They opened up the territory of our Great Jin Dynasty and made such great achievements. I can't let such a hero return to the capital and be severely criticized or even punished."

"Then this family, am I in charge or not?"

"Grand Xie, whether it's a deep understanding of righteousness or weighing the pros and cons, I will not let the elder brother embarrass the Beifu."

"Xie Gong, I have promised so much, but you still can't believe me?"

Wang Zhenying moved her body a little, and looked at Xie An fixedly.

She knew very well that now, it was she and Xie An who could mediate the conflict between the two parties.

Wang Zhenying's move was of course for the sake of fairness, there is no doubt about it, but it would be an exaggeration to say that it was not beneficial to herself or Wang Gong.

Obviously, according to the current situation, in fact, the one who is at a disadvantage is obviously Wang Gong!
