When the carriage started moving, the curtains were blown open by the cold morning wind.
Marquis Wenxin could still vaguely see Cao Gong sitting in the carriage, who had always been serious about words and expressions. He seemed helpless, but his eyes were full of gentleness. Xiao Yan, who was opposite him, did not show any arrogance towards others when he was talking to him.
Marquis Wenxin looked a little complicated: "I seem to have a villainous heart."
When Xiao Yan suddenly mentioned him before in the palace, he always felt that he had ulterior motives.
The two of them had nothing to do with each other, and he was never polite to Xiao Yan. Although his wife was on good terms with Rongyue, he never made too many conveniences to Jiuyun Lane, and sometimes even deliberately blocked Xiao Yan.
Marquis Wenxin really couldn't understand why Xiao Yan asked him to lead the army, and he was even more suspicious of whether he had other intentions, so he and General Yin stopped Xiao Yan to ask for more information.
But after asking clearly.
Marquis Wenxin discovered that he had a villain's heart.
The former leader of officials, the ruthless Governor Xiao, now Duke Dingguo, has a broader mind than anyone else, and his eyes have never been on this small capital city.
General Yin stood aside and sighed with emotion: "Xiao Yan's temperament doesn't look like he was raised by the He family..."
Marquis Wenxin turned his head.
Seeming to sense his doubts, General Yin explained: "I have dealt with people from the He family before. Among the aristocratic families in Beijing, the He family behaves the most uprightly, but even though they are upright, they still have selfish motives."
"I have seen the children raised by the He family. They also have the character of the aristocratic family. They put the clan first in everything. Although they are kind, they still have a kind of aloofness and arrogance towards generals and ordinary people. But this Xiao Yan is a little different. "
He has no private rights in his eyes, he cares about the people of the world, and he sees the entire Wei Dynasty.
General Yin has lived for most of his life, with half of his feet in the coffin. He thinks that he has seen countless people and can tell clearly whether Xiao Yan is sincere or just trying to please them.
He really didn't care who held the Tiger Talisman, and he was truly disdainful when he mentioned Emperor An.
He never wanted to gain power from the beginning to the end, and even took the tiger talisman as his own. Instead, he was very willing to find a suitable "owner" for it.
General Yin looked at the Cao family's carriage as they drove away: "I understand why that old guy Cao Dejiang fell in love with Xiao Yan alone."
Although Cao Dejiang did nothing on the surface, and the Qingliu faction had never favored Xiao Yan or anyone else, many of the things he did did not go towards the emperor, but the final result was beneficial to Xiao Yan.
On the night of the palace banquet, it seemed that he was just being pushed to speak, but every word he said stepped on Emperor An's vital points. Later, when the palace crisis came and Xiao Yan was at a disadvantage, the other courtiers did not dare to speak, but Cao Dejiang was the only one who stood up to them. Questioning Emperor An together, advancing and retreating together with Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan's casualness and verbal intimacy with Cao Dejiang were also different from others.
Old General Yin said: "That old guy Cao Boru was a shrewd man when he was young, and he cares about the people the most. The person he can choose must be the same."
Marquis Wenxin quite agreed with this.
Although he didn't have much contact with Cao Dejiang, he also knew the old man's temperament. If he didn't like him, he probably wouldn't bother at all.
Old General Yin couldn't help but sigh and squeezed the tiger charm: "Well, since Xiao Yan trusts us so much, I will definitely use this tiger charm. King Pingshan can't delay it, and it can be settled as soon as possible to avoid big disasters. "
"Marquis Wenxin, let's go."
Marquis Wenxin nodded and followed General Yin, and the two of them took a few steps towards the palace gate.
However, not far away, Wen Xinhou suddenly stopped as if he suddenly remembered something.
"etc."
"What's wrong?" General Yin tilted his head.
Marquis Wenxin looked ugly: "Xiao Yan just said that His Majesty did all these things just to take the Tiger Talisman from him. What did he mean?"
He was a little belatedly aware of this, and General Yin was also stunned.
Xiao Yan never does unnecessary things, nor does he say useless words. Since he said so, his expression at that time was even more sarcastic and disdainful, as if he was very disgusted with Emperor An...
The two looked at each other with livid expressions.
This is faint! Jun! !
Marquis Wenxin's face was filled with disbelief, and his eyes were filled with anger: "How dare he? Doesn't he know the current situation in Wei?!"
"It's not that he doesn't know, he just lost his mind to deal with Xiao Yan!"
General Yin's eyes were full of frost. If Emperor An had repeatedly betrayed his promise before and his lack of imperial prestige had disappointed him, now he felt that this man was simply unworthy of being the king of a country!
He actually started a war for his own benefit and conspired with the traitors just to force Xiao Yan to hand over the Tiger Talisman.
No wonder Xiao Yan behaved like that in the palace before and later refused to hand over the Tiger Talisman to Emperor An and Liu Tongen. He had clearly seen the trick of King Pingshan's sudden revolt. It's no wonder that when Xiao Yan mentioned that Lu Jiuan was suspected of appearing in Qinghe, Emperor An and Liu Tongen His expression will be so weird.
General Yin remembered the Xiao family who came to his house to deliver a message. The eldest son of the Xiao family looked very bad at that time. When he saw him, he only said that Pingyang County was in rebellion. Xiao Yan asked him to enter the palace as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation. It turned out to be because of this!
Marquis Wenxin couldn't suppress his anger: "Beiling war reports are sent to the capital every day. How dare he cause such trouble at this time? He is not afraid of seeking skin from a tiger. After King Pingshan raised his army and pointed his sword at the capital, the war would break out and the prairie fire could not be stopped?" "
General Yin said coldly: "What is he afraid of? He is not the one who goes to the battlefield to fight desperately."
How many people died in the South, how many innocent people were involved, and how many soldiers died. To Emperor An, these were just a few figures in a battle report. No matter how the war in Pingyang County set off a prairie fire, he could still sit in the capital in front of his superior emperor. .
General Yin was filled with chills. He only felt that it was not a good thing for all the soldiers to have the emperor sit in such a high position. He thought of Xiao Yan, who was completely opposite to Emperor An, and suddenly said: "Marquis Wenxin, I want to add two more people to this trip south." Lieutenant General."
Marquis Wenxin raised his eyes: "You mean..."
"Xiao Jinan and his son."
General Yin's voice was cold: "Xiao Jin'an was also a fierce general back then, but because of the He family's delay, his eldest son, Xiao Ying, has also met him. I heard that he teaches martial arts at Rongsheng Academy and is also very capable."
"This counter-rebellion requires speed. The sooner we can capture King Pingshan, the better. Xiao Jinan once commanded troops in Anyang, which is not far from Pingyang County. If they and his son join the counter-rebellion army, they will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."
The most important thing is that An Di's behavior is too despicable and annoying.
Since he couldn't tolerate Xiao Yan so much, General Yin decided to pull up the Xiao family. With Xiao Yan "restraining" Emperor An's ignorance and stupidity, the Wei Dynasty would not really fall into chaos because of Emperor An's willfulness.
