Jiankang City, Wuyi Lane, Zhuhong Gate, and a huge house covering an area. This is the residence of Xie An, the prime minister of the dynasty.

Sima Daozi dressed well and came to visit her door with gifts. Although she was the most powerful prince and noble prince in Jiankang City, Sima Daozi could only condescend and travel in an ox cart.

Whenever Sima Daozi saw the shaking ox tail, he frowned and couldn't stretch it out.

With such a prominent identity and such a great talent, he still has to go in and out in a ox cart, so how can he still be ashamed?

Every time he arrived, he couldn't help but think about the past when the old Sima family was still dominating the world in the Central Plains. The old predecessors of the Sima family were wandering on the wide road of Chang'an City on high horses, free and easy. How decent it was!

Although he had never seen such decentness before, when he was born, the old Sima family had been hiding in the south of the Yangtze River for decades!

Nowadays, the Sima family is a perfect match for the phoenix that has fallen into grass, is not as good as a chicken, is bullied by the aristocratic family, is looked down upon by the Hu people, and is rotten inside.

Sima Daozi lifted the curtain of the car and clenched his fists. He swore that the Sima family must be revitalized in his hands!

On the Xie Mansion, opposite a pool of green pool water, on the winding corridor, the owner Xie An sat leaning against the railing and easily threw the food in his hand into the pool water.

Soon, small fish of all kinds rush to jump onto the water, and under their scramble, a handful of food soon disappeared.

"What a greedy guy." Xie An stared at Chi Shui, thinking.

The sound of footsteps sounded behind him, Xie An remained motionless, turned his back to the visitor, and murmured: "Shi Nu, you are here."

Xie Shi behind him smiled lightly: "Brother's ears are still so good."

"I heard that many distinguished guests are visiting today. Our small place in Xie Mansion may not be able to accommodate so many big Buddhas!"

Xie Shi's words were particularly sarcastic.

Logically speaking, this year is not the 60s birthday. This is just an ordinary birthday among the many birthdays that Xie An, who is in his fifties.

According to the previous arrangement, it was just a matter of gathering among relatives and celebrating. But this time, Xie An changed his calm personality and posted invitations. Several important officials of the court expressed their intention to celebrate their birthday.

Xie Shi really couldn't figure it out, why is this abnormal?

"Brother, you must have other plans to find so many difficult people together."

Although Xie An is quite kind, Xie Shiming is not the kind of person who can do business at a loss.

Xie An turned around and finally sat face to face with his younger brother.

"The war is imminent, and I hope to get the important officials together temporarily through my efforts. This is not an extravagant request."

Xie An used his words very rigorously. The grievances and hatreds between the major families of the Jin Dynasty were simply unspeakable, and the principles were not smooth. Since the Jin Dynasty established itself in Jiangzuo, it has been fought for many years.

It is already a difficult task to be able to cooperate briefly. Don’t expect that through Xie An’s efforts alone, the aristocratic families can resolve their grudges and never compete again.

"But, brother, what if it backfires?"

Xie Shi has a special feature, that is, he is good at thinking in reverse. Xie An painted a beautiful picture here, and several major families in the Jin Dynasty joined hands to overcome the powerful enemy.

As for Xie Shi, he gave his elder brother a basin of cold water with his backhand and poured his head and face over it. Xie An's face suddenly became cold.

Only then did Xie Shi realize that he had said the wrong thing again.

He opened his mouth, thought for a long time, and quickly changed the topic: "Brother, have you read the letter from Youdu?"

Xie Xuan has always had a habit of sending war reports to the court, and also sending Xie An a message.

The two letters even have different contents. The letter to the court mainly highlights one's own requirements and talks about the situation on the battlefield.

The letter to my father is much more detailed.

As an emperor who has a desire for imperial power, Sima Yao still has his own news website. He also knew that Xie Xuan always sent a war report to two places, but pretended not to see it.

This is the authority of the aristocratic family. I will tell you blatantly that without us in this court, you are the commander of the barely-armed commander.

Xie Xuan's letter had been sent long ago, but Xie Shi couldn't figure out whether Xie An had read it or not. Xie An was relieved. No matter how urgent it was, it would have been delayed by him.

Xie Shi was anxious, but Xie An was relaxed.

"Of course, I saw that the battle was good. Youdu also got several team leaders who were good at fighting, all from Jingkou."

Unlike the war report handed to the court, in the letter to Xie An, Xie Xuan told a lot of truth, praising Liu Yu and his men's superb martial arts and bold style.

Xie Xuan was very excited about being able to recruit soldiers like Liu Yu and others who could conquer warriors. As long as they were used properly, Liu Yu and the others would definitely become famous generals of a generation.

On the contrary, Xie Xuan had a very prejudiced attitude towards Wang Mi.

"Shi Nu, what do you think, why is Wang Zhiyuan going to fight with the Northern Palace soldiers this time?"

"This is obviously not what he should be in charge."

Speaking of Wang Zhiyuan, a fog rose in front of Xie An's eyes. This was a young man. When he was young, he often visited the Xie family. As an elder, Xie An also cared for him very much.

Xie Shi thought for a long time and finally concluded: "He is smart and has a gentle temperament. However, the smell of powder is too strong and the relationship between women is good. If nothing unexpected happens, there will not be much development in the officialdom."

Xie Shi had never read Xie Xuan's letter. In his impression, Wang Mi still looked gentle and mean.

Although I am bored with the pursuit of many young ladies, I will not show off my face and embarrass others.

"Do you think he is very smart?" Among Xie Shi's numerous statements, Xie An found a point of interest.

Xie Shi lowered his head: "It's really smart. My elder brother forgot that when he was only four years old, he could recite the Book of Songs and read Zhuangzi!"

"But this kind of intelligence is not very obvious when he grows up. Looking at the years he entered the court, he did not seem to have a very outstanding performance except to make His Majesty happy."

"I think he is a scholar, why should he go to the army?"

On this issue, Xie Shi and Xie An were puzzled.

Xie An thought for a long time and said in a deep voice: "I can only say that perhaps modesty and kindness are just Wang Zhiyuan's appearance, and he also has an restless heart!"

"In the future, we will pay attention to this person."

Xie Shi couldn't help but feel panic. Wang Mi's talent and his background, if he really had great ambitions, he would be a dangerous person.

For the Xie family, such people have to be careful.
