Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

510 Marriage
Tan Xuan did not completely follow Huan Yi's plan. He hid in Lu'an for several days and escaped the arrest of the school affairs office. Then he went south from Yiyang, passed through the Dabie Mountains, to Wuchang, then went down the river and returned to Jiankang. Deliver the letter to Xie An.

Xie An likes to travel around and make friends with famous people, such as Wang Xizhi, Xu Xun, Zhi Daolin, Huan Yi, Sun Chuo and others.

Huan Yi went north to Yecheng, firstly to appreciate the customs, mountains, rivers and geography of the northern country, and secondly, to spy on the situation in the Liang Kingdom, and happened to catch up with the Wenying Meeting and the Wuying Meeting.

He simply lurked in Yecheng.

"The prosperous Liang Dynasty is like Chaoyang, Guangming Street, the poplar trees are lush, the chariots are running down, and the phoenixes are living on the top. Talents gather, the people are healthy, there are diligent people inside, and there are tiger and wolf generals outside. The wind is sweeping away, and all directions are serving their lives. , all the barbarians bowed their heads, and all the countries surrendered. Since the Han and Wei dynasties, there has not been such a situation. If I have the ambition to help the east of the Yangtze River, I should do it quickly. Within ten years, I will make sure that the north front does not go south..."

Huan Yi was a man of outstanding literary talent, and his letter was very long. In addition to his knowledge of the Northern Kingdom, he also summarized many of the various systems of the Liang Kingdom, which Jiangdong could learn from.

After Xie An read it, he smiled bitterly and murmured to himself, "Jiangdong is not Guandong."

Wang Dao, Xi Jian, Tao Kan, Zu Ti, Wen Qiao and so many famous ministers and generals could not help Jiangdong. How could Xie An, with his virtue, help Jiangdong resist the Liang Kingdom?
The Liang Kingdom was different from the Yi and Di dynasties of Han Zhao and Jie Zhao. It was founded by the Xia people in the north, and the people of Jiangdong did not hate it.

Yuan Zhen voted for Liang and was reused, which shocked many people with lofty ideals in Jiangdong.

Since you can't beat it, the best way is to join...

When I was lost in thought, a voice came from behind me: "Why is uncle sighing?"

Xie An turned around and saw his niece Xie Daoyun standing in the courtyard. She was as tall as a lotus. Although her appearance was ordinary, she had a unique heroic spirit.

This girl is the eldest daughter of General Xie Yi of Anxi. She is extremely talented and is not weaker than the men of the Xie family, so she has always been favored by Xie An.

In addition to enjoying the landscape, Xie An was also responsible for educating the children of the clan.

Xie Shang died in battle, Xie Yi died of illness, and two pillars of the Xie family were broken. Xie An had to leave the mountain and became the head of the Xie family. Recently, a marriage was arranged for him, to Wang Ningzhi, the second son of Wang Xizhi.

It can be regarded as stabilizing the relationship between the Wang and Xie families.

"Let Jiang Ke read it." Xie An handed Huan Yi's letter.

After Xie Daoyun read it, his face was filled with surprise, "Liang succeeded Ran Wei, and Ran Wei succeeded Jie Zhao. In just a few years, the Northern Kingdom has such a scene?"

This is why Jiangdong criticized Liang for being barbarians.

"You always stay in the house and don't know what's going on in the world. Things have changed a long time ago in the North." Talking to his niece, the sadness on Xie An's face disappeared a lot.

"My niece thought that the Lord of Liang was a figure like Shi Hu or Ran Min, but now I see that his talents are similar to those of Han Gao. At that time, Han Gao also roared and gathered the Mang Dang, killed the white snake and rose up. The Lord of Liang gathered in Heiyun Mountain for several years. And sweeping through Guandong is an unprecedented hero. Oh, what can we do? If there is no Beiliang, Jiangdong can still be peaceful for a few years. Now that Liang is so strong, I am afraid that the Qin, Jin and Yan Dynasties will not be rivals."

"This is a major military and state matter. Your daughter's family can just recite poems and compose poems. Wang Lang, the son of Wang Youjun, is not evil in person. Do you like it?" Xie An said with a smile.

Wang Xizhi was famous in Jiangdong and was from a top noble family. The marriage could consolidate the Xie family's status.

Xie Shang and Xie Yi died one after another, which was a huge blow to the Wang family.

When people leave and the tea is cold, and there is no one in the court, the family fortune will soon fall into decline.

"If uncle thinks it will be beneficial to the family, my niece is willing to marry." Xie Daoyun's voice dropped.

The Wang and Xie families are very close, and they have met Wang Ningzhi several times. The Wang family has believed in the Five Pecks of Rice method for generations, but Wang Ningzhi's generation has become even more obsessive. The skill of walking on the stars, praying to gods, and performing rites is not inferior to Wang's calligraphy.

Compared with Xie Jiaerlang's civil and military talents, Wang Ningzhi was a little out of place.

Xie An has a calm temperament and always thinks deeply about things, so he can naturally hear his niece's thoughts, "Did you just say that Jiangdong can only live in peace for a few years?"

"There is no Beiliang, but there is still Da Sima. The Northern Expedition was defeated. In order to consolidate power, extraordinary measures must be taken. Jiangdong is only afraid of being shaken by wind and rain." Xie Daoyun said quietly.

Just as she had guessed, Huan Wen had already taken action.

Sima Xi, the king of Wuling, was good at martial arts and held the position of Grand Prime Minister in the court. He was always tabooed by Huan Wen.After Huan Wen returned to Jingxiang, he impeached Sima Xi and his two sons on the grounds of "gathering in favor of frivolous plagiarism, Baozang going into exile, and plotting evil intentions."

There is no doubt that this is to eliminate the power of the clan.

A storm rippled across Jiangdong.

The gentry forces headed by Sima Yu and Wang Biaozhi tried their best to deal with it, and instructed the author Lang Yinjuan and the Dazai Chief Shi Yuqian to come out to oppose.

The Yin family has always been at odds with Huan Wen. In the past two years, Yin Hao and Huan Wen had been fighting internally, which caused a lot of trouble.

The Yu family was Huanwen's benefactor.

At that time, Yu Bing and Yu Yi were stationed in Jingxiang and held great power. Huan Wen was just a forward commander under them, leading his troops to guard Linhuai and cooperate with Yu Yi's Northern Expedition.

Nowadays, things have changed, and the Yu family is gradually declining.

Naturally, these two people were not Huan Wen's opponents. Huan Wen directly falsely accused the two of plotting to rebel, and asked Fu Tingwei to be punished and beheaded. The whole court was shocked for a while.

Just like Yuan Zhen, Sima Yu and Wang Biaozhi finally compromised and had them imprisoned for trial before Tingwei.

There is no way, Huan Wen has a knife in his hand, he can do whatever he wants with it, but they don't have it in their hands.

As a result, many people relied on Huan Wen.

"What do you think our Xie family should do?" Xie An asked seriously.

Once someone gets on the wrong side of this power storm, there will be no place for the Xie family in the future court.

"My niece really doesn't know about such a big thing, but the next one that Da Sima has to deal with will definitely be the Wang family. If my family marries with them, I'm afraid they will suffer a lot." Xie Daoyun glanced at Xie An cautiously.

Going around and around and back again.

For wealthy families, family affairs are state affairs, even greater than state affairs.

"Da Sima has repeatedly tried to win over me. It seems that I can't avoid it this time."

Huan Wen attached great importance to Xie An and called him up many times, but Xie An refused. Now that he has become an official, Huan Wen is a mountain that cannot be bypassed.

Of course, Huan Wen was not the only one to win over Xie An, even Sima Yu had a very good personal relationship with him.

Recently, he recommended his old enemy Yin Hao as Shangshu Ling to ease the tense relationship with the Jiangdong gentry.

The letter was sent to Yin Hao. Yin Hao was overjoyed, but because he was too excited, after writing the reply, he checked it back and forth more than a dozen times. He accidentally lost the letter and sent only an empty letter.

Huan Wen was greatly disappointed and did not recommend him.

Yin Hao died of depression...

"Since you have no intention of Wang Shuping, then go north to Yecheng." Xie An said suddenly.

Xie Daoyun was startled. Before she saw Huan Yi's letter, she regarded the North Kingdom as a pit of fire. Now it seems that Daliang is much stronger than Jiangdong.

By joining Lord Liang, the Xie family can also have a place in the Northern Kingdom, laying the groundwork for more than ten years.

This is also in the best interest of the Xie family.

"I would like to follow my uncle's words." Xie Daoyun nodded.
