Chapter 18: Nine-Rank Viewing People
Wei Jie felt that he had been hollowed out all of a sudden, but he had to pretend to be calm and composed. He knew in his heart that this should be Xie An took action.
But, are the big shots always at such critical moments?
Didn’t people in ancient times have heart disease?
Having said that, there was a guard stairs that had passed the pass without any danger, followed the eunuch who was sent to the command and rushed to the palace. Apart from Xiaosong, there was only Liu Yu!
"Young Master Wei is so patient, it makes the Chief Aunt Xie suffer!"
The eunuch who was passing the message was a Chen family. At this moment, Wei Jie knew that this Chen was not only Xie An's person, but also Xie An's confidant. It turned out that Wei Jie had become a chess piece on Xie An's chessboard.
This made Wei Jie feel unwilling to accept his feelings. He, a person with a soul from the future, became someone else's pawn. Xie An, who has been famous for a long time but has always been squandered, is really so great?
Thinking of the upcoming meeting Emperor Xiaowu Sima Yao, who is still the most powerful owner of the power, Wei Jie was inevitably a little nervous. When he met Xie Xuan that day, he could no longer suppress his respect and excitement.
In a trance, the group stopped at the instructions of Eunuch Chen. The guard steps were taken outside the hall before they even had time to appreciate the scenery in the palace!
"Take Wei Jie!"
"Prince!"
Liu Yu and Xiao Song stayed outside the hall. The only guard steps entered the hall and only saw the Saint. There were only a few people in the hall. After the guard steps entered the hall, they looked up and saw that Sima Yao, the current emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, was no less than twenty years old. At first glance, he was just an extremely ordinary boy!
The other people standing on both sides of the hall, Wei Jie only knew Sima Daozi, who stood on the first place on the right side of the hall, and no one else knew him.
Subconsciously, Wei Jie secretly glanced at the first position on the left side of the hall. If nothing unexpected happened, this person should be Xie An. But what surprised him was that this person turned his back to him and could not see his appearance clearly. He was a real short and fat man. Could it be that Xie An, who is famous all over the world and has been famous for all eternity, was actually a short and fat man?
Wei Jie secretly smacked his tongue, but was awakened by a cold shout!
"Don't you kneel down when you see the emperor?" In Sima Daozi's unhappy gaze, a civil servant dressed in a civil servant standing behind him whispered to Wei Jie.
Wei Jie didn't expect Sima Yao to be so young. He knelt down and greeted him a little reluctantly. Although he took the lead in causing trouble and was a child of the Wei family, he had no official position and could only see him as a civilian.
"Please be calm. Lord Lanling fought countless wars for the Great Jin Dynasty in his life and made great achievements. General Wei Heng is also a pillar of our Great Jin Dynasty. Recently, King Langya reported that the Wei family army was suspected of colluding with the enemy. For the safety of Jiankang City, I could only order the Wei family army to temporarily station outside the city. Now in the hall, you are in a good mood with the King Langya. I want to know whether the Lanling King, who I have always been very dependent, is really a collusion with the enemy and the country-traitor!" Sima Yao said calmly, but his eyes were vague when he spoke, sometimes passing by Sima Daozi and sometimes falling on the body of the Wei stairs, making it difficult for him to understand what he was thinking.
"The Master has a clear understanding. Recently, Yuan Xian arranged a spy on the shore of Feishui. He originally planned to pick up the Wei family army back to the court, but found Murong Chui's cavalry by the side of Feishui. At that time, the Wei family army was crossing the Feishui, which was a fish on the chopping board. Strangely, Murong Chui's cavalry gave up after a feint attack on the other side of the river, which was more like covering the Weishui!" Sima Daozi attacked first and told all the information obtained by the scouts of the Le family army by the Feishui.
"What is even more strange is that Zhu Xu has been defending Xiangyang for more than two years. Why did he surrender to the enemy when the Wei family army arrived in Xiangyang? When the Xiangyang city was broken, the Wei family army did not seem to be stationed in the city, and he did not resist the invading Qin army. Why is this?"
"As we all know, the two veteran generals of the Wei family have always been invincible on the battlefield, and they rarely meet the opponents. Now they are carrying the court's expectations to rush to Xiangyang, which eventually leads to Xiangyang like an unguarded city, giving in to the Former Qin Dynasty!"
"Xiangyang is the barrier to the southern part of our Great Jin Dynasty. Its importance does not need to be said much. Just one crime is enough to convict the Wei family and even the Wei family army of the Wei family to cheat the country!"
Sima Daozi's words made Sima Yao's brows gradually frown. This was not the first time he had heard these remarks. Xiangyang was lost, and he was extremely angry. After the news of Zhu Xu's surrender to the enemy was sent back to Jiankang, Sima Yao had not taken a step out of the palace for three days.
"The fall of Xiangyang, the Wei family and the Wei family army have an unshirkable responsibility!"
Sima Yao was interrupted by Wei Jie before he finished speaking...
"Emperor!" Wei Jie took a step forward and came to the place parallel to Sima Daozi.
"Please allow Caomin to ask the King of Langya a few questions!"
Although Sima Yao looked quite unhappy, he still signaled Wei Jie to ask questions.
"The military situation in Xiangyang is in urgent need, not this year. Why did our guards rush to Xiangyang to help?"
"After receiving the military order, my grandfather and father personally led the light cavalry to go first. After rushing to Xiangyang at night, they did not rest for a moment, so that the Qin army could fight several fierce battles and annihilate countless enemies. Don't these Langya kings know about it?"
"We don't know whether Zhu Xu had the will to surrender to the enemy. On that day, Zhu Xu was the commander of Xiangyang. My grandfather and father could only suggest his decision without veto. Zhu Xu's surrender to the enemy has nothing to do with our Wei family army. Our Wei family and Wei family army are unquestionable for their loyalty to the Jin Dynasty!"
"Now my grandfather and father have died one after another, and the King of Langya is still questioning our loyalty, which really makes the soldiers who are loyal to the Great Jin Dynasty feel sad!"
Wei Jie's words made Sima Yao's face calm. Just when he was about to express his opinion, he heard Sima Daozi say coldly: "Then what explanation do you have for Murong Chui's ambush and then he can't settle it?"
As soon as Sima Daozi finished speaking, the short and fat civil servant standing on the other side also said in a muffled voice: "The words of King Langya are exactly what I am in my heart. I have always heard that the Xianbei Murong Chui is ruthless. Since he has the opportunity, he will not return empty-handed. Why would he allow the Wei family army to return to Jiankang safely when he has an absolute opportunity? You must know that the Wei family army is also a force that cannot be ignored in our great Jin Dynasty!"
Wei Jie complained when he heard this. He naturally knew Murong Chui's wishful thinking, but he might not believe it. When he was in a dilemma and didn't know how to speak, a clear voice came from outside the hall.
"Murong Chui's ambitions. If you can see what he is thinking clearly, he will not be Murong Chui who is terrified on that battlefield!"
Wei Jie looked in the sound and saw an old man with a tall figure and a genius dressed in a literati, heading up to the hall.
"Xie An?"
Wei Jie immediately made a judgment in his heart. As soon as the short and fat man spoke, he knew that this person must not be Xie An. How could Xie An get into trouble with Sima Daozi?
"It turns out that the Shougong Xie has arrived, please give him a seat!" Compared to Sima Daozi and the short and fat man's unnatural look, Emperor Xiaowu Sima Yao quickly walked down his high dragon throne and faced outside the hall!
Wei Jie was relieved and Xie An arrived!
"Is this what the Shoufu said to defend his family and his family army?" Sima Daozi said with a sneer.
Xiangyang City fell into the hands of the Former Qin Dynasty, and the Wei family and even the Wei family army were inseparable from it. At this moment, Sima Daozi wanted Xie An to take over the Wei family army and carry it on his shoulders!
"Can I protect it?"
Xie An didn't even look at Sima Daozi at all. After a simple sentence, he faced Sima Yao and said softly: "I believe that the emperor can still believe in the old minister's ninth-grade human observation skills, right?"
When Sima Yao heard this, he hurriedly said respectfully: "Thank you, Shoufu, is not only a pillar of my great Jin, but also a famous scholar in the world. Not only can you trust your ninth-grade human-viewing technique, but no one in the world can trust you!"
"Since that's the case, the old minister dared to speak out a few words!"
Xie An walked to Wei Jie, and looked around Wei Jie with deep eyes. He was surprised and then sighed!
"I have heard of the name of Wei Jie, the second son of the Wei family. I have long heard of it. I looked it briefly a few years ago. Today I looked it carefully and felt like I had changed someone else!"
