How can there be any solitary person who can enter the court and serve as an official?
It is normal for officials to interact with each other in the DPRK, and it is difficult for a truly withdrawn person to gain a foothold in the DPRK.
Even those with high positions and noble status, there are still people who come close to him. Among the lively people, those who don't interact with others are just because they don't have enough status to squeeze into the circle he wants to go to.
Xiao Yan didn't say much about Wang Huailu, and only said: "As for me, I just wanted to remind Liang Guangyi out of kindness, lest our Majesty plot against Hu Fu and me to leave the capital, and use the people from the noble family to plot something else later. What."
Cao Dejiang was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly sank: "Are you saying that His Majesty will use Liang Guangyi to interfere with the transfer of troops south?"
Xiao Yan was not surprised that he reacted so quickly and said "hmm" lightly.
Cao Dejiang looked ugly: "Is the matter of King Pingshan related to the palace?"
He didn't say anything to Emperor An directly, but he saw Xiao Yan nodding.
Cao Dejiang's eyes were full of anger. Even though he had always been mature and prudent, he almost couldn't help but curse Emperor An for this shameless fool. He was the emperor and the monarch of the Wei Dynasty. He actually colluded with King Pingshan and Lu Jiu'an in order to gain power and regain his face... …
He is simply crazy!
"Dong Guo."
When Marquis Wenxin and General Yin came not far away, they saw Cao Dejiang's livid face.
General Yin was confused: "What's wrong with Mr. Cao? His face is so ugly?"
Xiao Yan smiled: "It's okay, I was just stupid."
Even though Cao Dejiang was furious, he was choked by Xiao Yan's words. He couldn't help but glared at him fiercely, and then asked General Yin and the others, "Didn't you two go to the military camp? Why are you still here?"
Marquis Wenxin said: "I have something to ask Duke Ding."
Cao Dejiang said: "Then I will leave first."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan stopped him: "Don't leave, Mr. Cao, I still have something to discuss with you."
Cao Dejiang said: "I will wait for you over there."
Xiao Yan nodded. After Cao Dejiang went to the carriage parked not far away from the Cao family, Xiao Yancai turned to Marquis Wenxin and said, "Master Marquis, what do you want to ask?"
Marquis Wenxin did not mince words and said directly: "In the palace before, why did you recommend me to lead the army?"
His eyes were dark, and he looked into Xiao Yan's narrow eyes and asked in a deep voice,
"I have always been kind to you, and I am not close to Jiuyun Lane. You sent people to see me twice before, but I rejected you. When you came to visit me, I also turned you away. Even Long I didn’t even save the dignity of Ting Wei and Major General Di to send people to monitor them.”
"You should understand that no matter whether you are a member of the He family or not, and no matter whether you are in power or not, I will never favor you. If one day you want to do something, I will never help you."
"There are many generals in the court who can get close to you and work for you. Why did you choose me?"
General Yin stood aside and after listening to Wen Xinhou's words, he also said: "This is also what I am puzzled about. Although I came to help you during the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet and rescued the He family from the siege, I can't decide the country." If you are smart, you should understand that I am not doing this for you."
The reason why he came out that night was because he couldn't stand Emperor An's despicable behavior and the Lu family's viciousness. He also wanted to express his dissatisfaction with Rongjiang and the people in Nandi who had killed people in vain. What he hated were the corrupt officials who had harmed Nandi in the past. They are those shameless people who pretend to be bandits and lead military merits and infiltrate the officialdom of the South.
General Yin never spoke out to defend the He family and Xiao Yan, it was just justice.
Old General Yin pinched the tiger talisman in his sleeve and said in a deep voice: "Even if it was not you but someone else who exposed this matter that night, I will defend you. And if one day you want to do something detrimental to Wei, I will never do it." Will not condone it.”
"I have never interacted with you during this period, and you have never been close to me. I thought you should understand this. Why do you dare to give me the Tiger Talisman?"
This thing was something he got in exchange for his life, and Emperor An couldn't do anything about it.
How dare Xiao Yan give it to him so easily?
Xiao Yan looked at General Yin, who was full of power, and Marquis Wen Xin, who was also frowning and confused. He raised his lips and smiled.
"Where do so many reasons come from? I give them to you, naturally because you are suitable."
Seeing that the two of them were obviously dissatisfied with this statement, Xiao Yan said:
"Your Majesty caused so many troubles just because he wanted to take away the Tiger Talisman from my hand, but I don't care about this thing at all."
"The reason why I held the Tiger Talisman in the beginning was just for self-protection. Now that I have done it for the He family, as long as it is for the Wei Dynasty and has no selfish motives, even if it is against me, what will happen if the Tiger Talisman is given to him?"
"What's more, you two have no grudge against me."
Xiao Yan's expression was indifferent when he spoke. It was obvious that he really didn't think the tiger talisman would do anything, not to mention that he knew that the tiger talisman might not be that useful in his hand, and he might not be able to wield troops with it.
It was as if he knew very well that even if he had the Long Jade Order, he might not be able to make the Longting Guards and Zhen'an Army listen to his orders.
If it weren't for the fact that Di Shuangcheng had some connection with the He family, if it weren't for the internal instability of Longting Guard, Shang Qin aroused public anger, and wanted to take Longting Guard as his own and angered Fu Yue and the others, he might not have been able to control them. Those people do things with him.
Xiao Yan is not Emperor An, nor is he the late Emperor, because he is uneasy and always wants to hold power in his own hands.
What he has to do is to find the most suitable people for each position, and these people don't all have to be his cronies, nor do they have to be especially close to him, as long as they are honest enough, loyal enough to Wei, and care enough about the people of the world.
That's OK for anyone.
"The Wei Dynasty is facing internal and external troubles. The war in Pingyang County must be resolved as soon as possible. Although there are many military generals in the court, they will betray their former masters and even add insult to injury because of my gain. There is no guarantee that they will not betray their power in the future. I will take refuge in others again, so I can never leave the affairs of Tiger Talisman and counterinsurgency to such people."
"Although the Marquis and General Yin are not close to me, there is a clear line between right and wrong, and you two have high enough prestige in the army. Letting you two go to the South to suppress the rebellion will naturally get twice the result with half the effort."
After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he said to the two of them:
"I will prepare the military supplies for the trip south as soon as possible. If there is any need when I go to the south, I will send a message back to Beijing. I will fully cooperate."
"The two of you will not leave the city to see each other off on the day of dispatching troops. I wish you both an early victory in putting down the rebellion in the south as soon as possible."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Yan nodded towards them and turned around to leave without waiting for them to speak.
Marquis Wenxin stood there and watched Xiao Yan walk to the side of the Cao family's carriage. He didn't know what he said to Cao Dejiang. Cao Dejiang, who never joked with others, reached out and slapped him angrily, but Xiao Yan He smiled and got into the Cao family carriage.
