Xie Yan's face turned red and he said sternly: "My late father asked me to endure it when he was here. Now that he is gone and my eldest sister is in charge, I still have to endure it. Is it possible that I, Xie Yan, a descendant of a distinguished family with great talents, deserve to be like this?" Are you going to be angry all your life? If you are angry with others, that's all. Now that you can't even deal with Liu Yu, is it possible that he will let me become his subordinate in the future? "
Xie Daoyun shook his head and said coldly: "If you want to take charge of the Army Beifu in the future and have people like Liu Yu serve you, you must endure it now. Because it is not Liu Yu you have to endure, but the emperor."
Xie Yan's expression changed, and he looked in the direction of Sima Yao. He saw his brows furrowed, but like Zhi Miaoyin on the side, he said nothing about the situation in the field. Xie Yan was surprised: "Sister, she is like this Reminder, I just discovered that it is really weird, how can the emperor be so calm? Liu Yu openly challenged his authority, but he didn't even order to take him down? "
Xie Daoyun sighed: "Yuandu, you are an outstanding nephew of the Xie family, with extraordinary beauty. If your eyes were not covered by impatience and anger, how could you not see the problem?"
Xie Yan murmured: "Yes, how could I not have thought of it? It seems that the emperor wants to use Liu Yu's power and the Beifu Army to balance the big families, not just with the King of Kuaiji." Brotherly rivalry.”
Xie Daoyun nodded, with a flash of light in his eyes: "Liu Yu's preparation this time was impeccable. He should have thought that Xi Chao would end up in person. He threw out the mafia before the fight, and also pointed out the mafia through Tian It is impossible for the emperor not to be touched by the agreement to control the aristocratic family, and then the essence of the world. Now he has shifted his number one enemy from Sima Daozi to these aristocratic families, because as long as he continues to rely on the aristocratic family, no matter what Whether he is in the court or in the army, he is not really in power and needs to compromise with him. Only Liu Yu, a grassroots man with no foundation and a low-level background, will be grateful from the bottom of his heart for the emperor's favor and then give up on him. Step on the ground.”
Xie Yan gritted his teeth: "But we have discussed with all the major families that we will suppress Liu Yu this time. At least, we cannot let him continue to gain a foothold in the army. Otherwise, they will not support me to regain control of the Beifu Army and expel him." Wang Gong, if we don’t do this now, what will they think of us? The relationship with the aristocratic family that our fathers and grandfathers have built for decades may be in vain."
Xie Daoyun murmured: "In the past, aristocratic families controlled everything, so starting from the eldest father, we had to go from classics to metaphysics, abandon our Xie family's hundreds of years of family learning, and join those aristocratic families. Only then did we win This gave me the opportunity for my uncle to conquer Yecheng in the north and bring back Yuxi. But now, the reincarnation of heaven and the power of the family are weakening. Our generation can still barely maintain it, but the descendants and nephews have no successors and cannot control the army. There is an emperor. If you want to seize power, if someone like Liu Yu rises, and if you continue to cling to those old family alliances, there will only be a dead end. It's time to make new decisions and choices."
A chill flashed through Xie Yan's eyes: "Sister, tell me the truth. Does the Black Hand Universe that Liu Yu talked about really exist? How much do you know about this organization?"
Xie Daoyun frowned: "Yuandu, how can you believe this? If what Liu Yu said is true, then your father is a member of this organization. Didn't he tell you this?"
Xie Yan sighed: "He even refused to hand over the Beifu Army to me. He would rather let Youdu be the commander. After his death, he did not give me the head of the Xie family, but gave it to you, eldest sister, even if there is such an organization. , he won’t reveal it to me, eldest sister, have I, my son, let my father down too much?”
Xie Daoyun smiled slightly and patted Xie Yan's shoulder: "Yuandu, don't think too much. You are the leader of our Xie family in both Chinese and martial arts. Your only weakness is that you have a short temper. My husband asked Youdu to take charge of the army." , not because he is more talented than you, but because he is more stable. Maybe you don’t know that Mr. Xianggong has praised you many times in front of me, saying that if you hadn’t insisted on fighting and refused to retreat before the Battle of Feishui, maybe you would have There is no way to win that battle.”
Xie Yan's eyes flashed with joy: "Do you really say that about me?" Xie Yan was strictly disciplined by Xie An since he was a child, and it was really hard to find praise. Hearing Xie Daoyun say this, even his eyes became a little wet.
Xie Daoyun nodded: "You have to know that our Xie family is a whole. My husband is a little too strict with you. We also need to consider the balance between the nephews in each house. If I forcibly hand over all the power to you, there may be If the brothers are separated and the families are separated, then the most precious family unity that our Xie family has grown over the years will no longer exist. Therefore, the arrangement your husband has made for you is also a kind of training for you. He treats you, I have very high hopes, otherwise, I wouldn’t have been asked to take charge of the Xie family and do my best to regain the position of commander of the Beifu Army for you.”
Xie Yan nodded excitedly: "Okay, okay, if you say so, I feel relieved. So, our Xie family will distance itself from other aristocratic families this time, follow Liu Yu?"
Xie Daoyun smiled slightly: "Not following Liu Yu, but following the emperor."
On the main stand, Sima Yao's eyes were shining, and the huge sound waves around him shook his eardrums, making the hoarse suppressing sounds of the sergeants everywhere disappear. He turned to look at Zhi Miaoyin beside him, and whispered : "Miaoyin, do you have anything to say?"
Zhi Miaoyin sighed faintly: "What I want to say is that your Majesty should make a decisive decision at this time and order the pardon of Liu Yu and Murong Lan, then welcome Murong Lan into the inn with the courtesy of a state guest, and then publicly announce that Liu Yu will be the governor of the palace. General Zhige is in charge of the palace guards."
A trace of astonishment flashed across Sima Yao's face: "What, you actually made such a suggestion? Liu Yu openly defied my orders, how can I lose my face? He is like this with the Princess of Yan who snatched him from you. How can you tolerate being so close to each other like this?"
Zhi Miaoyin closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed down her mood. When she opened her eyes again, her voice had become calm: "Your Majesty, as a king, you cannot make decisions out of anger. As a general, you cannot fight because of hatred. There are three reasons why you must make such a decision. As your people, I, the wonderful voice, must put aside my personal feelings and give you correct advice. "
Sima Yao nodded: "Tell me, Miaoyin, what are the three reasons for me to make such a decision? If they are reasonable, I will do as you say. If you cannot convince me, then today will be the day when Liu Yu and Murong Lan die!"
