Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 985 The Wife's Position

"What the hell happened?"

"You always say that husband and wife are one body, and there should be no concealment. I remember it all, and I always tell you what I have to say."

"If you are in trouble, you must tell me, and you can't hide it from me!" At the end of the sentence, there was a faint cry.

When she cried, Wang Mi's heart softened.

I thought about it for a while, and I would explain it clearly to her after I finished all the work in the Jiang workshop and arranged the affairs of the court.

But now, he couldn't help it.

Then she turned over, held her little hand, and said softly, "Huihui, let me ask you, if one day in the future, the Wang family and the Xie family really had a conflict, who would you be targeting?"

"What are you going to do?"

Wang Mi looked at her steadfastly. Xie Minghui is not a person who can hide her emotions. As long as she carefully observes her expression, her thoughts can be seen at a glance.

But now, Wang Mi was shocked to find that Xie Minghui blushed!
This kind of question, as for her blushing?
This shows that she must not be thinking of anything serious!

No!
He is very serious and is asking him very seriously.

Unexpectedly, Xie Minghui's expression did not change, and she was still shy.

After a while, he sneered and said, "What do you think?"

"You are my husband, if I don't follow you, who else can I follow?"

Her unscrupulous expression made Wang Mi really doubt, did she really understand?
"Huihui, I'm serious."

"The current situation in the court, I think you can also see that the conflict between me and Wang Aning is that nothing can be bridged."

"It's today. I heard that Aning came to visit Mr. Xie. In your opinion, will Mr. Xie agree to unite with him?"

Suddenly, the topic changed from a simple probe of attitude to a blatant discussion of court affairs.

That being the case, it is not appropriate to maintain the current posture.

Wang Mi turned over and sat up, and Xie Minghui also stood up.

She gathered up her clothes, wondering: "If you ask me this, to be honest, I can't tell. All along, Ah Weng loves me very much. Back then, asking me to marry you was also a manifestation of Ah Weng's love for me." .”

"He knew that I liked you in my heart, so he tried his best to match this matter. He must have valued you very much at that time and wanted to win you over. I don't deny this."

"However, Ah Weng is also kind."

"As far as I can see, things may not be so bad."

Wang Mi sighed again and again, a woman, she is just too naive.

Sometimes, Wang Mi feels that women are not as long-haired and short-sighted as the saying goes. They are just naive in their thinking and always like to imagine complicated things in a better direction.

Don't think about those dark tricks in the first place.

It's like the current Xie Minghui, she may not be unaware that the danger is coming, but because of Xie An's kindness and hope that the two families can live in peace, she is unwilling to face it.

From this point of view, the current Wang Mi is very vicious, and he personally broke through the veil of tenderness.

Xie Minghui could only face it.

This is my wife, the person I want to spend my whole life with. What Xie Minghui said just now is what Wang Mi agrees with.

Since they are husband and wife, they must be honest with each other in major matters.

What Xie Minghui can do, Wang Mi will never lag behind.

So, he took Minghui's hand, and confronted her all the speculations and worries in his heart, as well as the news that Wang Xun had told him.

Why be afraid?
If you doubt her, you won't marry her at all, even if you are married, you won't talk to her about everything.

Who can't see that Xie An brought Xie Minghui to him with ulterior motives?
What Xie Minghui couldn't see, Wang Mi could see clearly. I'm afraid her relative A Weng knew from the very beginning that this marriage was destined not to be smooth sailing in the end.

The seeds of conflict were planted from the very beginning.

"You understand everything, so now you can tell me the answer."

Wang Mi repeated the question again. He hoped that the answer he heard from Xie Minghui was well thought out.

The two held hands, heart to heart, at this moment, how could there be anything else to say.

Minghui nodded solemnly: "As long as what you do is right and just, I will support you."

"But, Zhiyuan, I also have one thing to ask of you."

Before Xie Minghui said it clearly, Wang Mi already knew what she was going to say.However, he still waited for Xie Minghui to say it himself.

"If things really come to such a critical juncture, Zhiyuan, you must spare Ah Weng's life!"

"Ah Weng is not only mine, but also yours. You know, he also valued you at the beginning. Without A Weng's support, you would not be able to secure your seat in Beifu so quickly."

"You want to do great things, I have no objection, but I also know very well that A Weng is getting old and the relationship between the family is so complicated, he may not be able to fully support you, you will definitely have conflicts .”

"For so many years, the stability of Jiankang City has been maintained by the intertwined relationships of several big families, and everyone can live in peace."

Xie Minghui talked more and more vigorously, and Wang Mi also began to get to know the little wife in front of him again.

It turned out that these court affairs were not far away from Xie Minghui, as long as she wanted, she could talk about them in a sensible way.

Since she wants to talk, it is natural to give her a chance.

Wang Mi sat next to her again and listened quietly.

"Now, if you want the Langya Wang family to dominate, the other families will definitely not agree. They will unite and fight you hard."

"Ah Weng is no exception."

Hmm, these are all correct.

and then?
Just want him to save Xie An's life?

This is probably not a problem, originally Xie An was also an elder and a respectable celebrity, besides, what Xie Minghui said was right, without Xie An who opened the door to the North Mansion to him at the beginning, Wang Zhiyuan would not be where he is today.

From various perspectives, Xie An should not have died because of this incident.

"But, Zhiyuan, I always have an idea..."

While Wang Mi was thinking deeply, Xie Minghui's voice sounded again, and she could only hear her softly saying: "Ah Weng may not agree to Ah Ning."

“How come you see?”

Now the two of them can be said to be completely honest with each other, and there is no need to say a lot of things very clearly. Those conversations happened between the two of them, and only they understand the words.

"Based on what I know about A Weng, in fact, A Weng has always been a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune. At the beginning, if it wasn't because there was no one in the family who could support the situation, A Weng would not even come out to be an official. You know that."

"For so many years, even though he was the prime minister of Dajin above his name, in fact, Ah Weng was frank and frank in his conduct and deeds."

"Including letting Dad take charge of the Beifu, and focusing on promoting young generals, I never meant to hold the Beifu firmly in my hands."

"In the court, he has never used that kind of conspiracy, nor has he plotted against others. How could such a person join hands with Wang Gong in order to fight for the Beifu?"

"You know, back then, he and Wang Gong had a deep hatred, so that the two families had a very ugly fight."

"In this case, reconciliation is still possible. If you say that you will cooperate in order to bring you down, I think it is unrealistic."

"Besides, as far as I know, Ah Weng doesn't value Wang Aning's character, and even looks a bit contemptuous. Ah Weng always attaches great importance to character. When he chose you to be in charge of the Beifu, he also took a fancy to you. He is a man of skill and integrity.”

"But, Wang Aning, Ah Weng has always been on guard against him. If my observations all along are correct, Ah Weng would not choose to cooperate with Wang Aning."

"Even, it is very possible that once the situation really changes and the ownership of the Beifu becomes an issue, Aunt will even hand over the Beifu to you."

"What are you talking about?" Wang Mi was even amused by her.

"How is this possible?"

"Huihui, it's a competition among powerful troops. Wang Gong hasn't been in Beifu for a long time, and he still wants to grab the position of the commander!"

"Beifu was brought up under the hands of Mr. Xie, and it was grown under the hands of Mr. Yue. How could the Xie family entrust all this hard work to me?"

It was a real fight, and his wife refused to admit it, and Wang Mi couldn't point it out. However, on this issue, Xie Minghui was also very persistent.

Therefore, Wang Mi couldn't say anything more.

In any case, one thing is certain now, if there is a conflict between the two families, Xie Minghui will choose to stand on his side, which is of course on the side of justice, and that is enough.

Minghui can say this, but Wang Mi is very pleased.

This at least shows that she is definitely not perfunctory, she has really thought about it seriously, as long as the answer is obtained after thinking, Wang Mi will feel at ease.

It would be terrible if Xie Minghui kissed your husband one by one and listened to you in everything. Who knows what choice she will make when the big storm comes.

Minghui's words are not without reference value.

The treatment of Xie An really needs more consideration.

After all, Xie An is also his benefactor. If he really wants to go beyond the scope of the aristocratic family and become a great treasure in the future, then he still needs to respect Xie An more.

Although Xie An's age is not too young, Wang Mi also believes that his grand plans and great careers are just around the corner.

It won't take long, and everything will fall into place.

Mr. Xie will definitely be able to persist until then...

However, it is not so easy to go.

For Wang Mi, the safest place to go now is to return to Beifu, Jingkou.

There is no problem with his wife, he has already made an agreement with Xie Minghui, as long as he wants to leave, Minghui can follow immediately.

The only difficulty was Wang Mi himself.

He didn't need to pay much attention to matters in the court. After Wang Zhenying's mediation, he and Wang Gong's power in the court had become balanced.

Naturally, Wang Gong led a group of courtiers to deal with the affairs of the court. Anyway, these state affairs of the Jin Dynasty were not that complicated, and there were not so many things to do.

This point is obviously different from those great unified dynasties of later generations.

The prefecture and county systems of other people are strictly implemented, and the imperial court's control over the localities is also in place. Whether it is taxation, military affairs, or even the smallest administrative unit, the county government, they are all running well.

The most important thing is that those unified dynasties managed a large territory.

At that time, His Majesty the Emperor could be said to be able to manage every day.

However, half of the imperial affairs of the Jin Dynasty are in the hands of the major families. Not to mention anything else, the accounting books of the major families entrenched in Jiankang City in terms of fiscal and tax revenues are more important than those of the imperial court. That ledger is much clearer.

A lot of court affairs are divided up by the aristocratic family, and the things that can be managed by the court will naturally decrease rapidly.

Therefore, you can see that according to those records in the history books, many ministers of the Southern Dynasties spent their whole day eating, drinking, playing and traveling in mountains and rivers.

It seems to be very leisurely. Officials of other dynasties are always busy, running back and forth.

But the ministers of the Southern Dynasties, including those of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, definitely did not have to work so hard.

Hustle and bustle across the country?
There is no such possibility!
Jiangbei's territory hasn't been occupied yet!I just want to be busy, and I don't have their share.

In terms of military affairs, the Eastern Jin Dynasty with only half of the country is inherently weak. As long as the wealthy families in the north don't come to make trouble, they can maintain stability.

There are also situations where this can last for decades. Moreover, in terms of military construction, starting from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the imperial court even allocated part of the defense tasks to several big families.

A powerful family must have its own trilogy in the place he occupies. The so-called trilogy refers to the private soldiers owned by the family.

This kind of private soldiers is even more loyal than the regular troops owned by the imperial court.

In fact, they are some villagers who have no personal land and must depend on the aristocratic family to survive. The aristocratic family selects those who are physically strong and even have some fists and feet to form their own trilogy.

It can be seen that the trilogy is a special product of the times that will be produced during the special period of the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

It is different from the regular army, it has to be paid and supplied with food and grass. Even the military households who have been soldiers for a long time are also affiliated with the imperial court.

It is also different from the guards recruited by various aristocratic families to guard the homes. These guards are often selected from the villagers who must be attached to the aristocratic families to survive.

But whether it is a servant or a guard, it is still different from the trilogy.

Those guards who guard the house are only responsible for the tranquility of the family master's house. If there are more, the nearby incense sticks can also take care of it.

Their scope of activities is very limited, and their main job is not to conquer foreign lands, but to protect the safety of the master's house.

The size of the number of people is no more than a hundred people.

But the trilogy is different. Although it also belongs to the family, the trilogy was established from the beginning in response to the call of the family. When the court needed it, they often reached out to the family to requisition the parts they controlled.

These parts are not only physically strong, but also equipped with weapons and armor, as if they are also a team.

It is a force that cannot be ignored in the loosely structured Eastern Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties.
