Xie Xuan said indifferently: "After all, he is the assassin of Guangzhou, where the imperial court has been left alone for many years, and the local slang people are fierce and aggressive, so the previous assassin can often bring private troops over, this time the water is a big victory, Diao Kui took the opportunity to pass the relationship of the king of Huiji, and asked the court to transfer more people to him among these prisoners of war, and the saint was in a better mood, so he agreed, after all, if you don't buy people from the prisoners of war, you have to recruit troops from the imperial court, and the money spent will be a lot more." ”

Liu Gaozhi's brows furrowed: "Aren't you afraid that this Diao Kui has troops and will stand on his own feet in Guangzhou?" ”

Xie Xuan smiled and shook his head: "Just the two pieces of material of the Diao brothers, you still want to make trouble?" They just want to be greedy for some money, hugging their thighs and climbing up the kind of small and medium-sized families, I investigated at the beginning, everywhere they go, they don't want to make friends with local heroes, or yin knotted dead people, just want to scrape the ground and collect money for themselves. Otherwise, how could I have traded the position of Guangzhou Thorn History to them in the first place, and a little earlier, Lord Xianggong would not have given them such an important land as Jingkou, not because they were talented, but because they were incompetent! ”

Wang Gong sighed: "But in this way, most of the governors of various prefectures and counties in the Great Jin Dynasty are such incompetent people and greedy and excessive, aren't they afraid of provoking popular revolts and weakening the country?" ”

Xie Xuan's expression became solemn, and he sighed: "A Ning, you and I are both children of the family, what is the situation of the children of the common family now, you and I know best, if there are really talents, how can they not use it, it is precisely because most of the children of the family are like the brothers of the Diao family, who only want to make money, and do not want to make progress, oh, no, they are not even as good as the two of them, at least they will work hard to collect money, and they can be regarded as making a difference, most of the children of the family are not even willing to be officials, so they think about fighting cocks and playing dogs, drinking and prostituting." , indulging in the world of Wushi San and obscenity every day and can't extricate himself, Dajin is indeed about to make a drastic change. ”

Wang Gong's brows furrowed: "Then how to carry out this drastic change?" Continue to use people like the Diao brothers? ”

Xie Xuan shook his head: "No, people like Diao Kui can only be used for a while, as a choice for us to compromise with small and medium-sized families, in the long run, these people will only bring disaster to the country and the people, and the hope for the future lies in imprisoning them." Speaking of this, Xie Xuan smiled slightly and looked at Liu Gaozhi.

Liu Gaozhi's face changed, and he shook his head instead: "Xuan Shuai, don't joke with the humble position like this, the humble position is just a cold martial artist, how can you ............?"

Xie Xuan said coldly: "Why can't the Hanmen martial artists be in power? This world is inhabited by talented and capable people. Back then, the ancestors of my Xie family made their fortunes by fighting to Yecheng and welcoming back the jade seal of the country, and Huan Wen became a powerful minister with his achievements in the southern and northern expeditions. They can, why can't you be imprisoned? ”

Liu Gaozhi said with some trepidation: "However, but your Xie family and Huan family are both families, although they were not first-class families at that time, but at least they also have the identity of this family, which is still different from us cold martial artists." ”

Xie Xuan shook his head: "How can there be any constant distinction between high and low in this world?" Hanwu Liu Bang, Guangwu Liu Xiu, which one is a child of the family? Of the various anti-Hu dynasties in the north, who is on top? Shile, a slave who raises horses, can establish a hegemony, and if you are imprisoned, can't you rely on military merits to get the official title you deserve? ”

Liu Gaozhi muttered: "No, I, I don't want to leave the army, I don't want to be an official, I just want to be a soldier and serve the country." ”

Xie Xuan smiled and said: "That's for the future, now I need your father and son in prison, as well as the slaves, Xile They serve in the army, as for the peace of the world in the future, you should get what you deserve, at least, it is better to give you soldiers who have made great contributions to the country than to moths like the Diao brothers." ”

A trace of gratitude flashed in Liu Gaozhi's eyes, he clasped his hands into fists, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Gaozhi is willing to saddle the horse for Xuan Shuai, and then die." ”

Xie Xuan said with a smile: "Prison, not for me, for the sake of the Great Jin, for the country, after the end of this auction, we will contact other small and medium-sized families to obtain their support, and then, we can wait for the Northern Expedition, now the rebellion in the Central Plains has risen, and the rivers and mountains of the Qin State are shaking, if you don't seize this God-given opportunity, you will be a ghost, and you will regret it for ten thousand years." ”

Wang Gong hooked the corners of his mouth: "But, like Wang Guobao, will they let you go on such a smooth Northern Expedition?" ”

Xie Xuan's eyes flashed coldly: "Ah Ning, our Northern Expedition is just to return the central power to the royal family, and they will use Wang Guobao to control these powers, at that time, there will also be divisions within them, the emperor's brothers, the Huiji King and Wang Guobao's brothers, the Wang Guobao family and the Diao family, the Yu family, these subordinates, will all compete for power and profit, we are fighting outside, we only need to have a minimum of money and food support, we can succeed, so, just now Wang Chen understood what I meant, he didn't object, just because he knew, At this time, we leave more than stay, in their favor. ”

Wang Gong nodded in admiration: "The young degree is really far-reaching, these can be expected, admire, admire." It's just that if they finally finish the fight and grasp the power of the central government, even if you make meritorious contributions outside in the future, and want to return to the central government, can you still come back? ”

Xie Xuan smiled and waved his hand: "If the Northern Expedition is successful, a large area of land can be obtained in the north, and my Xie family is originally from Chen County, not Jiangnan. Besides, the central power of the Great Jin Dynasty itself is also a rotation between the families, and has never given any family a long-term monopoly, this time we won a big victory in the water, and we should have returned this ruling power, but the reason why Xianggong returned to the mountain to govern is because the opportunity of the Northern Expedition is really rare and can not be given up, so he is willing to risk the emperor's suspicion and take power, so our Northern Expedition needs to be as soon as possible, otherwise the emperor will think that we are just exercising dictatorship in the name of the Northern Expedition, and it will be troublesome at that point. ”

Speaking of this, Xie Xuan looked at Huan Xuan's pergola, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes: "Perhaps, this son of the Huan family, as well as the Wang Xun brothers, should also consider taking it out and using it." ”

Wang Gong's face changed: "Huan Xuan is ambitious, Brother Wang Xun has a big enmity with your Xie family, how can you use it?" ”

Xie Xuan shook his head: "They all have talents, now the Northern Expedition needs talented people, the previous grievances are not to be talked about for the time being, and the ambitions in the future can also be curbed, compared to Wang Guobao, they can at least play a role, after this auction, maybe Lord Xianggong will come forward to talk to them in person." Let's see the results. ”
