Wang Shen'ai smiled and said: "Prince Huan, you haven't agreed to my transaction conditions yet. If you continue to ensure that I stay in this position and guarantee the Wudi Manor of the great family, then we will also repay you. Not only I will help you let Sun Wuzhong attack Liu Jingxuan and solve your serious problem, and will also support you in taking up the position of prime minister. With this title, you can take over the capital instead of returning to Jingzhou."
Huan Xuan nodded with satisfaction: "I would like to add one more thing, that is, give me Huang Yue."
Wang Shen'ai's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly: "This is almost the same as asking for Jiuxi. It is even the most important thing in Jiuxi. It has the power to kill everyone, almost the same as the emperor. You want this now, Don’t you think it’s too hasty?”
Huan Xuan laughed: "I just want this power of life and death, can't I? Don't worry, I won't use it to deal with your big family, but for people from outside the vassal, such as the Mao family of Yizhou and Sun Wuzhong, I can I can get rid of him at any time with the yellow axe. Sima Yuanxian attacked me at that time, and his reputation was not justified. Isn't it because he didn't have this yellow axe? I don't want to follow his old path. "
Wang Shen'ai sighed: "This matter is too big. I can't answer you now. I have to go back and ask my mother for instructions, and she will seek the opinions of other big families. Now that the mafia is gone, the differences between our big families Negotiations are all conducted in public, and I hope you can give us a minimum of respect and don't try to make any small moves between our big families at this time."
Huan Xuan said coldly: "Don't worry, I still understand the principle of a strong dragon not suppressing a local snake, otherwise I wouldn't come to you today. How do you, the big families, and the middle-class families who take your orders negotiate? I don't ask, I just want to know the result from you. If you satisfy me, I will naturally satisfy you. This time you gave me a clever plan to let Sun Wuzhong come and deal with Liu Jingxuan's gang, and I should also do something about it. That's the reward. Let's just say that Wang Dan, who rebelled against Sima Yuanxian's party and became his right-hand man, I will spare his life."
Wang Shen'ai smiled slightly: "Wang Dan is the great-grandson of the founding Prime Minister Wang Dao, and the cousin-nephew of the former White Tiger Wang Xun. After Wang Xun's death, he became the leading figure of Wang Dao's lineage in the Langya Wang family. He was successful at a young age, talented and well-known in the world. He had always been a civil servant, but it was difficult to get ahead, so he became confused and fawned over Zhang Fashun and colluded with Sima Yuanxian. However, his other identity was to obey his mother's orders and serve for We, the great family, are investigating Sima Yuanxian’s truth.”
Huan Xuan frowned: "Is he also a member of the mafia?"
Wang Shenai smiled and said: "It's hard to talk about it. It's just that his wife, the Xi family, was the matchmaker for her. The Wang family's family motto is to bet on long positions and will not bet on one family. As Sima Yuanxian, He is the right and left hand of the family. He also serves as the family's eyes and ears, monitoring every move of the Sima family. He is very smart and knows how to measure. He knows what should be said and what should not be said. This is very important to you Huan. Isn’t it the same at home?”
Huan Xuan nodded: "Yes, when Wang Dan was under Sima Yuanxian, he once begged for Huan Qian, the Shi of the Wu Kingdom who stayed in Jiankang at that time, and saved his life. Huan Qian also embraced Li. In my case, After entering Jiankang, he tried his best to spare Wang Dan's life, which shows that this boy is very good at life. Anyway, I like smart people, and I prefer people who understand current affairs, so I will spare him death and be exiled to Guangzhou as an official. This time in Guangzhou Diao Kui, the governor, has made great contributions to my coming to Beijing. I want to repay him and I am going to give Sima Shangzhi the governorship of Yuzhou to Diao Kui. As for the governor of Guangzhou, do you have any good candidates to recommend?"
Wang Shen'ai smiled slightly: "This person needs to be accepted by your Huan family, and we need to be able to accept it, and you have to be reassured that he will not become the second Yizhou Mao family. It is quite difficult. However, I am here There is a candidate who should be able to meet your requirements."
Huan Xuan curled up his lips: "Let's talk about it, but I have one thing to say first. This person cannot be someone who can lead troops to fight. The mountains and rivers in Guangzhou are high and far away, and I can't control it. If he separates the country and raises troops there, It will become a big problem. One Mao family class is enough to give me a headache, but I don’t want to have a second one.”
Wang Shenai smiled and said: "Don't worry, the one we recommend to you is a civil servant, the former Crown Prince Youwei, and the current Dr. Wu Yinzhi. You should be satisfied."
Huan Xuan's eyes lit up: "Is it him? Is he the cousin of my general Wu Fuzhi? He does have a good relationship with our Huan family. This man is the sixth grandson of Wu Zhi, the servant of Cao Wei, and also A northern scholar, my family came to the south of the Yangtze River during my journey to the south, and he served as officials for generations. However, his family was in decline and he was poor since childhood. However, he loved reading and was famous for his talents. At that time, his brother Wu Tanzhi served under Yuan Zhen, the governor of Yuzhou. Yuan Zhen surrendered to the enemy and treason, and was killed by my late father. Wu Tanzhi should have been implicated and executed, but Wu Yinzhi volunteered to die on his brother's behalf. My father was surprised, released his brother, and recommended him to serve as an official. He is a poor man, but he has integrity and a good reputation in the world. Even when his daughter gets married, he does not accept gifts from his fellow officials. Instead, he asks his servants to sell the family's chickens and dogs to pay for the dowry. , I have heard such strange things in Jingzhou."
At this point, he curled up his lips and said, "However, this person cannot be the same as Yin Zhongkan, who is just fishing for fame and has evil intentions."
Wang Shen'ai smiled slightly: "Even if he has Yin Zhongkan's heart, he can't do anything in Guangzhou. It's not like you don't know that place in Guangzhou. It's a vast land with sparse people and miasma running rampant. It's impossible to use this place to become a king." , but it suits the appetite of those corrupt officials. Diao Kui, who turned to you from Sima Daozi, has made a lot of money in Guangzhou these years, and he must have become rich."
Huan Xuan sneered and said: "It's because the Diao brothers were too greedy in Guangzhou, which affected my reputation, so I asked them to stay in another place. In the past, they were under Sima Daozi, no matter how greedy they were, Sima Daozi is blind, but now that he has followed me, he can no longer ruin my reputation. The Wu Yinzhi you are talking about, I hope he is as honest as the rumors say. Anyway, let's give him a try. I will write the edict and you can seal it. , immediately issued an order for Wang Dan to serve as his subordinate as the governor of Guangzhou, give him the official position of meritorious officer, and take up the post together. Look, how sincere am I when it comes to Wu Yinzhi and Wang Dan?"
Wang Shen'ai stood up with a smile, made a blessing salute to Huan Xuan, and smiled meaningfully: "It's a pleasure to cooperate. I hope this good start can continue."
Huan Xuan stood up, stretched, and walked out: "Now, I have to do other things. Taking charge of the world is not an easy task. Not everything can be handled by your family. , such as the demon thief!”
