Chapter 69: Mutual Compromise

In the summer of the fourth year of Taiyuan, Wang Tanzhi, the most famous Wang family in Wuyi Lane, died after Wang Dao. He died on the palace hall, his head hit the beam and pillar, and blood splattered three feet away!

The scene of Wang Tanzhi showing his ambitions with his death and defending Xie An shocked everyone in the hall.

"Fast!"

Xie An cried out sadly, but he didn't expect that this friend who had fought side by side for many years would die for the sake of Dajin and Xie An!

Sima Yao, Sima Daozi and his son, Huan Xuan, Wang Guobao and others, no one expected that Wang Tanzhi, who had always been honest and gentle, would become so extreme that he looked at each other and could not speak out.

Wang Guobao came to Wang Tanzhi in three or two steps and helped Wang Tanzhi up. However, Wang Tanzhi had already vented more and had less energy, and he was already lost consciousness. He was his biological father. Wang Guobao had tears in his eyes and muttered: "Dad, why are you doing this!"

Then he suddenly pushed Xie An, who came to see Wang Tanzhi like him, and roared: "Xie An, I am irreconcilable with you!"

Xie An was almost pushed down by Wang Guobao when he was lost. Fortunately, Master Zhi Dun helped him from behind. Master Zhi Dun shouted angrily: "You are unreasonable! You dare to offend Mr. An so much!"

Huan Xuan and Sima Daozi looked at each other, calmed down, and gave Sima Daozi a look of not being soft-hearted and struck while the iron was hot. Sima Daozi came over and said to Sima Yao: "Your Majesty, the Chief Minister Wang and Xie An are brothers and sisters, and they will never hesitate to protect each other. It is really worthy of respect!"

"However, this also shows the contradiction in Lord Wang's heart. Yu Qing wants to stand on Xie An's side, while Yu Li wants to put the court first. This is also the helplessness of Lord Wang's choice to sprinkle blood on the hall!"

"From this, we can see that the Chief Minister Wang also disagrees with the strategy of territorial punishment. I also ask the emperor to give a clear explanation and ask Xie An to step down and withdraw from the court, so as not to happen again today's tragedy!"

Huan Xuan nodded unstoppable. Sima Daozi's words were indeed powerful. He could even say that Wang Tanzhi's death was like this. Xie An, Master Zhi Dun and others heard it, the more they frowned.

"I originally intended to withdraw from the court and retire to the countryside to seek freedom. Now, seeing that you and the villains are not only indiscriminate right and wrong for their own interests, but also invert the black and white. How can I be assured to hand over the Great Jin Dynasty to you? I decided to fight you for the rest of my life!" Xie An interrupted at the sensible Sima Daozi.

"Even for the sake of the dead Tanzhi, I cannot withdraw from the court. Let you do whatever you want and harm my great Jin!"

"An Gong calms down, I am also very sad about the death of the King Shoufu. But the deceased has passed away. Please feel sorry for you. Don't worry, I will definitely stand on your side!"

Wang Tanzhi's death finally aroused Sima Yao's fighting spirit, making him think that he was unwilling to be just a puppet emperor for the first time. He said to Xie An in harmony, and then looked at Sima Daozi, Huan Xuan and others coldly.

"My dear friends have made enough trouble today. I miss you because of your loyalty to the Great Jin Dynasty. This time I will not blame you. Even if this matter is over, if anyone asks Xie Shunji to step down, I will immediately kill him!"

"Your Majesty, I don't agree!" Huan Xuan was willing to settle the matter, and said coldly.

"For the future of the Great Jin Dynasty, I will travel thousands of miles to return to Jiankang, just to clear the emperor's side. Now that I have not achieved my goal, I will never give up!"

"I believe that King Kuaiji and Lord Wang Gong both thought as I did!"

"Does General Huan think that his foundation is in Jingzhou, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the court is powerless to you?" Xie An said with a sneer.

"I really don't know if the Jingzhou army has the final say is Huan Xuan or your uncle Huan Chong?"

Huan Xuan's expression changed suddenly. Huan Chong was the youngest younger brother of his father Huan Wen. Huan Wen died of illness that year, and Huan Chong inherited all the power of Huan Wen in Jingzhou. Unlike Huan Wen and Huan Xuan, Huan Chong was always loyal to the Great Jin Dynasty.

"If General Huan knew what you did today, I wonder how he would feel!" Xie An stared at Huan Xuan coldly and said word by word.

"If you don't just look back, I'm afraid that the world will be so big in the future and you, Huan Xuan, will never have the foothold!"

Xie An ignored Huan Xuan, whose face changed, and said to Sima Yao: "Emperor, General Huan Xuan is also devoted to the Great Jin. No one has inherited the title of Nanjun Duke at that time. Why not let General Huan Xuan inherit the position of General Huan Xuan, so that General Huan Xuan can do his best to contribute to the Great Jin!"

Nanjun is the ancestral home of the Huan clan and is neighboring Jingzhou Jiangzhou. Xie An asked Sima Yao to grant Huan Xuan the Duke of Nanjun to make him live in the area of ​​Nanjun and never take a step forward to Nanjun.

Sima Yao understood and nodded and said, "As far as Xie Shoufu said, General Huan Xuan was granted the title of Duke of Nanjun today, and his territory was under Nanjun. Without my orders, he was not allowed to take half a step out of Nanjun!"

Huan Xuan's face was gloomy and he wanted to have an attack on the spot, but he saw that Sima Daozi, Wang Gong and others had been silent and no longer supported him. He could only thank him for his gratitude and receive the order.

"Also, please ask the emperor to resign from the position of General Cavalry, and let Wang Guobao succeed him!" Xie An continued.

Sima Yao nodded in agreement. He knew that today's matter would be the best result. Appropriate compromise is not harmful, and he will find an excuse to take back this order in the future.

A farce ended with Wang Tan's blood sprinkling on the hall, which made everyone unexpectedly end. After returning to the carriage, Xie An finally relaxed and collapsed in his seat.

"Mr. An, thank you for your hard work!" Master Zhi Dun looked at Xie An with a tired face and sighed.

"Just let the tiger return to the mountain, there will be endless troubles!"

"Master, do you know that I have taken back what I said to Wei Jie that day?" Xie Anqiang sat up, rubbed his head, and said softly.

"The Great Jin Dynasty is over, and I am no longer able to make the world come true. The only thing I can do now is to help the Great Jin Dynasty survive for a few years!"

"It's not that I want to let the tiger go back to the mountain, but I just don't want to force the dog to jump over the wall. The rabbit even wants to bite people when it's anxious, let alone these characters!"

"At present, there are still thousands of soldiers in Jiankang City in Qingzhou. Sima Daozi and his son are as cunning as foxes. Their Le family army has ambiguous positions. If I am unreasonable, I am afraid that they will force them to take risks. At that time, I am afraid that the emperor will not even be able to protect the throne!"

"With Huan Xuan, although Huan Chong is loyal to Da Jin, he also dotes on this youngest nephew. If Huan Xuan is left behind, it is hard to guarantee that he will not rebel against Da Jin. Let Huan Chong take care of him!"

"The most important thing at the moment is to restore Jiankang City to its original order and restore contact with the Northern Palace soldiers. Everything will be fine at that time!"
