Chapter 184: On meritorious deeds
"Don't pay attention to this matter anymore. Leave it to me to deal with it. After returning to Jiankang, I will ask my uncle to tell him how powerful it is and let him give up this idea!"
Xie Xuan put down the pen in his hand and asked to return to Beijing to finish the document. However, it is not difficult to find from the handwriting of the document throughout the document that the handwriting in the second half is already a little messy compared to the first half!
"The uncle, Xiao Jie doesn't have to worry. Although you disobeyed his order this time, your starting point is always to consider the Xie family. I believe that uncle will not blame you!"
Wei Jie nodded slightly. With Xie Xuan’s support and saving Wang Gong’s life, he would be more confident. When facing Wang Mosang again, he would be more confident!
The documents sent back by Jiankang arrived a few days later. The emperor had the order and returned to Jiankang immediately with the commander of the Northern Prefecture Army Xie Xuan and the deputy commander of the Guard. He brought two criminal ministers, Wang Gong and Yin Zhongkan, and a group of generals who made military achievements in the Northern Prefecture Army.
At that time, the Spring Festival had passed, and it was the beginning of the fifth year of Taiyuan. Before he knew it, it had been more than a year since the Wei Jie arrived here. During this year, he went from a playboy in Jiankang City to a deputy commander of the Northern Army and a general of the imperial army. There were chances and deliberate operations among them, but more were trembling and walking on thin ice!
Yuan Zhan stayed in Kuaiji and did not come back. At this time, except for Wang Gong and Yin Zhongkan kneeling in the middle of the hall, Liu Laozhi, Liu Muzhi, Wang Hong, Mao Xiuzhi, Tan Daoji, and Liu Yu were all standing behind the two, waiting for Emperor Xiaowu Sima Yao to speak, while Wei Jie and Xie Xuan stood behind Xie An.
"Yin Zhongkan, you submitted a letter to abolish Wang Guobao, and I did everything as I did. Why do you have to do the right thing to the court?" Sima Yao first glanced at Wang Gong coldly, and then turned to Yin Zhongkan and said.
"Is the Jingzhou area too rich, even your Yin Zhongkan's courage fattened?"
Yin Zhongkan was silent. Now he was completely disappointed. Even if the court did not pursue his fault, Jingzhou had fallen into the hands of Huan Xuan and he had no place to settle down!
Yin Zhongkang couldn't speak, Sima Yao turned to Wang Gong and said, "Wang Gong, as a descendant of the Wang family in Langya, you have raised troops twice to confront the court. Are your actions worthy of the ancestors of Wang family? Do you deserve the Prime Minister?"
Wang Gong bowed his head and bowed to the ground, but he didn't say anything!
Sima Yao snorted coldly, looked around the hall for a while, and said, "Your families, let's talk about it. Wang Gong and Yin Zhongkan and the two of them are ruthless. What should we do if they deal with it?"
Sima Yuanxian and Sima Daozi and his son went to court at the same time today, especially Sima Yuanxian. Wei Jie stood behind Xie Xuan, standing face to face on both sides of the hall. He occasionally glanced at the Wei Jie, which made him scared. Did Sima Yuanxian do this deliberately, or could not calm down?
Xie An did not speak, so naturally no one dared to speak first. All the civil and military officials in the court remained silent. The Wei Jie was not surprised at all. However, just as Xie An was about to stand up and speak, Xie Xuan stood up first and bowed his head to Sima Yao!
"Your Majesty, both of you are the cornerstones of the court. Although you have committed a ruthless act this time, your feelings are pitiful. Please give up the emperor and avoid his death penalty!"
"It would be better to cut off the military power of the two and take back their fiefs. The emperor gave the mansions of the two in Jiankang City and took them to retire in Jiankang City to demonstrate the emperor's benevolence and righteousness!"
Although Xie Xuan rarely went to court, his words had a power that was no less than Xie An. However, this time, before Xie An spoke, Xie Xuan spoke at the moment, which surprised Sima Yao and all the civil and military officials in the court.
Wei Jie understood that Xie Xuan must have failed to exhort Xie An, so he expressed his views before Xie An spoke. In this way, Xie An took into account the image of the unity of the Xie family and was afraid that he had to accept Xie Xuan's proposal!
What Xie Xuan said is different from Xie An?
Sima Yao was puzzled. His previous attitude was nothing more than just an explanation of what Xie An was about to say, but Xie Xuan was expelling Wang Gong and Yin Zhongkan at this moment.
"What do you think the Chief Guard thinks?"
"Xiao Xuan is talking about what Lao Chen means!"
A hint of anger flashed through Xie An's eyes, but the tone of speaking was still calm. Wei Jie was a person with a heart, otherwise he would not be able to feel the anger in his heart at this moment.
"What do you think of me?"
Sima Yao certainly didn't want to execute Wang Gong and Yin Zhongkan casually. He didn't have the courage, but he just wanted to ask others as usual.
"I have no objection!"
Xie An and Xie Xuan spoke, so naturally no one else could say anything else. Wei Jie and Sima Daozi and his son were even more happy to go with the flow and agreed with everyone.
"Yin Zhongkan, Wang Gong, immediately cut off your military power and take back your fiefs, Jingzhou and Qingzhou!"
"You two are unemployed in Jiankang City, and you will receive a salary of 2,000 s!"
Yin Zhongkan and Wang Gong thanked each other and stood up and retreated to the end of the court team. After the two of them were punished, they naturally began to commend everyone who made military achievements in the Northern Palace soldiers.
Sima Yao's face slowed down and he said with a smile: "Although some people in the court have always refused to remain at peace, fortunately, I still have the soldiers of the Northern Palace to share my worries. This time, the soldiers of the Northern Palace have made great contributions. Eunuch Chen, read out my reward!"
"The Northern Palace Army was awarded the title of General Yingyang and the position of governor of Qingzhou!"
"The Northern Army General Wang Hong made great contributions to quelling the rebellion, and was granted the title of General Lingjiang and the position of governor of Jiangzhou!"
"Liu Yu, a soldier from the Northern Palace, made great contributions to quelling the rebellion, and was appointed as the General of Light Che, led Liu Lao's subordinates to join the army, and worked with General Yingyang to guard Qingzhou!"
Mao Xiuzhi was named General of the Right Guard and worked with Wang Hong to jointly govern Jiangzhou. Liu Muzhi was named Chief Lieutenant and served in Qingzhou. Yuan Zhan was named Chief of the Army and stayed in Kuaiji!
"Xie Xuan, the commander of the Northern Prefecture Army, has a good command of the army. He was also appointed as the governor of Xuzhou and the inner historian of Kuaiji. I hope that the commander Xie will continue to work hard and continue to make contributions to the court!"
"The deputy commander of the Northern Mansion Army, led the troops with a good attitude, killed Sun Tai, the leader of the Tianshi Dao thief, and was appointed as the general of the guard. He cooperated with Commander Xie to take charge of Guangling, Jingkou!"
The general of the Wei rank was not a surname, but an official title. The military rank was second only to General Cavalry, General Cheval, and General Left and Right!
What surprised Wei Jie was that the court rewarded Liu Yu, which was slightly worse than Wang Hong. Wang Hong was the governor of Jiangzhou, but Liu Yu could only be a military officer under Liu Laozhi's subordinates, and Liu Muzhi was the same!
The tricks in this are self-evident, and Wei Jie is helpless. Fortunately, his own status is steadily rising, which is also a good thing for Liu Yu!
