Chapter 660 Xie An’s Death
【Xie House】

Xie Xuan said angrily: "Uncle, His Majesty has been targeting our Xie family more and more recently, inexplicably dismissing several brothers from their posts in an attempt to weaken our Xie family's power."

Xie An sighed and said: "I didn't expect our Xie family to be jealous of the emperor because of our military exploits. It's sad and deplorable."

The uncle and nephew were talking, when an imperial decree came from outside saying that the palace hosted a banquet in honor of Huan Yi, and Xie An was invited to sit with him.

Xie Xuan said: "Uncle, it's better not to go, what if it's a Hongmen banquet?"

Xie An said: "You can hide for a while, but if you can't hide for a lifetime, you still have to face it."

【Jin Palace】

The emperor ordered Huan Yi to play the flute. Huan Yi blew a song calmly, put down the flute and said: "I don't like the zither as much as the flute, but it is enough to cooperate with the singing pipe. Please allow me to play the zither to sing, and find a The flute player comes to accompany the minister."

Just as the emperor wanted to find a musician from the palace, Huan Yi said, "I want to use my own slave."

The emperor agreed because of his favor and trust in Huan Yi. The slaves played the flute, and Huan Yi played the zither and sang.

"Zhou Dan Zuo Wenwu, "Jin Meng" merits will not be published. Help the king with his heart, and the second uncle counters the rumors."

His voice was impassioned and impressive, at the end of the song, Xie An was moved to tears, Xie An knew in his heart that it was Huan Yi who was complaining for himself.

After returning home, Xie An thought about it all night, instead of letting the Xie family's children be dismissed from office one by one, it is better to resign and hand over power on his own initiative.

Xie An said that the king of Jin claimed that he was going to build a new city in Buqiu, Guangling, to avoid disaster. This was actually Xie An's excuse. He planned to bring the whole family, make ships and equipment, and ride the wind and waves to Dongshan to live in seclusion.

This idea of ​​living in Dongshan had been in him since he was very young, and it has never disappeared for so many years.

However, not long after, Xie An became seriously ill. When he was dying, he said to his relatives: "When Huan Wen was in power, I often worried that I would not be able to protect myself. But one day, I dreamed that I was driving in Huan Wen's car. Walked sixteen miles."

"When I saw a white chicken, I stopped. Now that I think of this dream, it is still very clear. I was riding in Huan Wen's car, which foreshadowed that I would take his place in the palm of the hand. Sixteen miles, just right from my time in power until now. That's 16 years."

"The white rooster belongs to You. Now Tai Sui is in You, which is a bad omen. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive it."

Xie Xuan, Cao Rui, Cao Feng, Cao Youyou, Jing Ran and the Xie family's children surrounded Xie An, watching Xie An close his eyes forever.

When the King of Jin heard about Xie An's death, he wept bitterly for three days in the court hall. He gave Xie An a coffin, court clothes, a million dollars, a thousand pieces of cloth, five hundred catties of wax, and the posthumous title "Wenjing".

When it was time for the burial, the specifications of Xie An's funeral were the same as those of Huan Wen, and he was posthumously named Duke of Luling County.

As soon as Xie An left, Xie Xuan's ambition was wiped out in an instant.

Once he wanted to be an unrivaled hero, but now he is famous all over the world, who doesn't know his name Xie Xuan?However, looking at the current imperial court and the current King Jin, Xie An no longer wants to fight for the Sima family.

Xie Xuan asked His Majesty to relieve him of his position, but His Majesty insisted that he lead troops to guard the frontier.

Xie Xuan was seriously ill and had no intention of military affairs at all, so he told His Majesty that he hoped to resign and go home, but the emperor forbade it.

Xie Xuan wrote a very long memorandum, which said: "I have seven brothers in total, and they withered and fell one after another. Now only I am left. Every time I go home, I see a whole family of orphans, old and young, waiting for me to take care of them." , I feel that the responsibility is heavy."

"My body is getting worse every day. I have no intention of fighting. I just want to save my life and take care of my family. If I am in good health, I am willing to repay the emperor's favor. But I have more than enough heart but not enough energy. I hope Your Majesty will make it happen."
