Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 231 Highly Respected

The so-called winning of Longwangshu, Huanxi initially just hoped to move Xie An to Guanzhong to prevent him from serving the Jin Dynasty. As for whether he assisted Xie An attentively, Huanxi didn't care. .

But when Xie An came to Chang'an, Huan Xi was naturally not satisfied with this, and instead hoped that he could do his best to help him create peace.

Huan Xi had also watched "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" before traveling through time. He admired Xu Shu's entry into Cao's camp without saying a word.

It's just that Huan Xi now is like Cao Cao. Cao Cao used Xu Shu's mother to force Xu Shu to surrender, and Xie An is like Xu Shu.

Cao Cao could tolerate Xu Shu's concern for his old master and his unwillingness to try his best, but Huan Xi could not tolerate Xie An's failure.

Therefore, the drama in the wing room was specially arranged.

After being beaten by Huan Xi, Xie An's surrender was reasonable.

However, Huan Xi still worried too much. Since Xie An was coerced by him and decided to accept the invitation and move his family north, it was equivalent to giving up his original intention of keeping the Jin Dynasty.

Since they no longer have the idea of ​​observing the festival, Huan Xi and Xie An are just like pretty widows living alone who are unwilling to be lonely. The handsome young man they like knocks on the door in the middle of the night. Something is destined to happen between them.

Rough words are not rough.

But it was not until he witnessed the current prosperity of the Guanzhong area with his own eyes that Xie An believed that Huan Xi was unfathomable and felt ashamed of Wang Meng.

Xie Yi listened to Xie An's introduction and sighed:

"In just a few years, Guanzhong has reached what it is today. Huan Xi's talent is far superior to that of his father."

Xie An nodded and said:

"It was in the eighth month of the fifth year of Yonghe that the troops were dispatched, and in September they marched to Chang'an. The three auxiliary heroes came to surrender one after another. Shi Bao was defeated in the suburbs. At the beginning of the sixth year of Yonghe (AD 350), he defeated Wang Zhuo and Yang Chu, and destroyed Qiu Chi. , charge Qinzhou.

While the two brothers were discussing the characters, in the backyard of Xie's mansion, in the room reserved by Xie Daoyun for himself, Ruan Rong and Xie Daoyun were sleeping together, talking to each other intimately between mother and daughter.

Chang'an, Xie Mansion.

Xie An and Xie Yi were still talking about what they saw and heard after arriving in the north.

Although Wang Meng paid more in governing Guanzhong, Huan Xi also contributed to knowing people well and assigning them well.

Ruan Rong asked with concern:

"How is your life in Chang'an?"

"Then he defeated Zhang Chonghua in Didao and forced him to sign a peace treaty. Since then, he has secured Guanlong."

To be honest, Huan Xi has performed better than his father over the years. Even rumors that Huan Wen relies on his son have been rampant, otherwise Huan Wen would not be eager to go on the Northern Expedition and want to prove himself again.

Xie Yi suddenly said:

"I remember that Xi'er launched the Northern Expedition in the fifth year of Yonghe (AD 349) and captured Chang'an."

Xie An agreed with his brother's comparison of Huan Wen and Huan Xi as father and son.

When they were in Jiangdong, Xie Yi and Xie An often heard that Guanlong was prosperous and the people were happy.

At first, the two of them just thought that this was Huan Xi's deliberate propaganda, exaggerating to win the hearts and minds of the people in Jiangnan.

Of course, in fact, all policies implemented were decided by Huan Xi, and some of them were even proposed by himself.

Xie Yi has now reconciled with Huan Wen, and there is no prejudice in this comment.

After all, the Liang State was still nominally a vassal state of the Jin Dynasty. There would always be merchants from both sides seeking profits, organizing caravans, and traveling thousands of miles for trade.

Children are the flesh that fell from their mothers. No matter whether they grow up or not, or how old they are, they will always be remembered.

Xie Daoyun smiled and said:

"Thanks to my grandpa and grandma for helping me find my husband.

"My husband treats me very well. When Aman was in Luoyang, my husband saw that I was depressed and would often relieve me. He was very caring." Ruan Rong couldn't hide his joy when he heard this. It was not in vain that he persuaded Xie Yi many times in the past. This marriage, otherwise, where would such a good son-in-law be looking for with a lantern?

Of course, no one is perfect.

Huan Xi's reputation for liking orphans and widowed mothers has long been spread to Jiangnan, but this little habit cannot be called a stain for a powerful minister.

Even Xie Yi can take concubines. With Huan Xi's talent, appearance, and status, why should he keep the daughter of the Xie family?

The "Ling of Jin" clearly stipulates that the kings have eight concubines, the princes and princes have six concubines, the first and second ranks have four concubines, the third and fourth ranks have three concubines, the fifth and sixth ranks have The second concubine, the seventh and eighth concubines only have one concubine.

Although Huan Xi was the Duke of Liang, after he was ordered to found the country, the etiquette system was equivalent to that of the princes and kings, and he could have eight concubines.

Li Yuan, Han Yan, Zhang Yu'er, Murong Ying, Liu Meiren, Guo Jiang, Huan Xi now has only six concubines in the house.

Of course, this does not mean that Huan Xi can only have two more concubines.

After all, as we all know, the laws of the Jin Dynasty were not able to restrain the powerful.

As for Xie Yi's ability to take a concubine, it was because he once served as the prefect of Jinling and was taken to Jingzhou by Huan Wen to become a Sima. Although he was now idle at home, he could not force the other party to give up the concubine he had previously taken.

However, the laws of the Jin Dynasty cannot restrict it, but Sima Xingnan, as the eldest princess, can restrict her husband.

Huan Wen had the same etiquette as the princes and kings, and he could take eight concubines in an upright manner.

Not to mention bringing people in, even if Sima Xingnan showed mercy and allowed Huan Wen to take in a concubine, even if Huan Wen wanted to go to Leshi's villa, he would have to report to his wife in advance and get permission.

For Huan Wen, moving the capital to Xiangyang was all good, except for the missing nunneries and Taoist temples in Jiangling City.

Of course, Huan Wen currently has no intention of finding a nun to study Buddhism or reviewing the Tao Te Ching with a Taoist nun.

Huan Wen now only hopes that Yin Hao will come soon and take the lead in implementing the earth break.

At this time, the news of Yin Hao's acceptance of the invitation has been known to Huan Wen. As long as he comes to Xiangyang, Huan Wen has many ways to make him surrender.

However, forceful measures must be put aside after all. Huan Wen is a very particular person. If he is reasonable, then naturally there is no need to coerce him, and forceful melons cannot be too sweet.

At the same time, under Huan Wen's petition, Yin Hao had been exonerated by the imperial court.

Because Huan Wen's desire to recruit Yin Hao as Shangshu Ling was still a secret. Except for a few close confidants, no one knew why Huan Wen did this.

Therefore, many people speculated that it was Huan Wen who really missed his childhood friendship, or that it was the winner's charity to the loser.

Jiankang, Taicheng.

Wang Tanzhi didn't know why Huan Wen would take the initiative to request an order to lift Yin Hao's imprisonment.

However, he felt powerless in assisting Sima Yu, King of Kuaiji, to fight against the increasingly powerful Huan family and his sons, so he advised Sima Yu:

"Shen Yuan (Yin Hao) is not familiar with military affairs, but he has far-sighted knowledge and a clear mind.

"Huan Yuanzi (Huan Wen) once said that if he chooses a general and misuses his talents, if he makes him a servant of Ling (Shang Shu Ling) (Shang Shu Pu She), he will be punished with hundreds of punishments.

"Although Shen Yuan has made mistakes, talents are rare. Please continue to entrust him with important responsibilities, Your Majesty."
