"An Shi, what else do you have to report?"

Zhang Hua discussed important matters such as building Zheng Guo Canal with many ministers. After the discussion was over, he did not leave, but chose to stay in the hall.

Xie An pondered for a while, silent.

Zhang Hua knew that Xie An was keeping a secret, so he said, "If there is nothing wrong, then leave."

"I want to ask my lord to go to the mansion to discuss it."

"oh?"

Zhang Hua thought about it again and again, and finally went to see what medicine was sold in Xie An's gourd.

Xie An is in Chang'an City, with a mansion, dance pavilion, singing platform, rockery, pool water, and gardens. It has the characteristics of Jiangnan gardens.

Xie An was originally a prominent family in Jiangzuo, so it was reasonable to build a garden-style mansion in Jiangnan.

"Brother, who is this?"

In the Xie family's mansion, a middle-aged man came out and saw Xie An leading someone in. Behind this man, there was a fierce guard. After he spoke, he immediately realized who this person was.

"Lord, this is my brother, Xie Shi."

"Xie Shi has met Ming Gong."

Xie Shi quickly bowed.

Zhang Hua took in Xie An and Xie Daoyun, and appointed Xie Xuan. Only then did the Xie family in Jiangzuo regain their family traditions and had the opportunity to become a high school in Daxia.

"Xie Shi..."

Zhang Hua once sounded that Xie An mentioned his brother Xie Shi.

Xie Shi led the Navy of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Xie Xuan in the Battle of Feishui, defeated the Former Qin Heavenly King Fu Jian, and turned the tide and saved the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Although Xie Shi's ability is not as good as his nephew Xie Xuan, he is also a famous general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, Xie Shi actually came to Chang'an.

As a result, Xie Xuan's Northern Prefecture Army added another general.

"Where were you before?"

Zhang Hua actually wanted to hear Xie Shi's experience.

"I was originally in the Yumen Pass area, swirling and sand, serving several princes one after another, but these princes were defeated by the Qin army for various reasons and were defeated. Originally, I had already planned to surrender to the Qin army, but just a month ago, I heard that my brother was in Chang'an City, so I came to surrender."

Xie Shi was an unlucky guy. Several Longyou princes who defected to him were destroyed by the Qin army one after another, so Xie Shi had to defect to his brother Xie An.

Moreover, Xie Shi, a Jiangzuo military general, was good at using navy troops, but in Longyou, there was no use of the land.

Only when generals such as Xie Xuan and Xie Shi have the opportunity to play their strengths in major rivers such as the Yangtze River, Huai River, etc.

"The Qin army is indeed powerful. What are the Qin army doing now?"

Zhang Hua knew that the Qin army was sweeping all over Longyou, but Zhang Hua did not have any extra troops to fight on both sides, so he took a wait-and-see attitude towards the Qin army's actions.

Xie Shi once served some princes of Longyou and only escaped from Longyou a month ago. He must have a deep understanding of the recent situation in Longyou.

Xie Shi replied: "Hundreds of thousands of Qin troops are capturing Hetao, and the troops are aimed directly at Yumen Pass. The major princes of Longyou formed a coalition force and launched a continuous battle with the Qin army, which is difficult to distinguish."

"Is the Qin army going to open up the ancient silk road, or after capturing Hetao, they will advance eastward and attack Guanzhong?"

"It is unknown. If the Qin army invaded Guanzhong, I'm afraid..."

Xie Shi probably told Zhang Hua about his experience in Longyou.

"It seems that the Qin generals are indeed strong. With the help of generals such as Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi, and Li Xin, they are like tigers to add wings. Fu Jian, the King of the Former Qin Dynasty, was defeated by the Qin army."

Zhang Hua's expression was serious.

The combat effectiveness of the Qin army is undoubtedly the heroes of the Former Qin Dynasty Fu Jian's level were still subdued by the Qin army.

Zhang Hua chatted with Xie Shi for a while and further understood the situation in Longyou.

Xie An asked someone to hold a banquet to entertain Zhang Hua, the VIP.

The three of them talked about the general trend of the world.

"Ming Gong believes that what about my niece Daojun?"

Xie An finally found out his goal.

This time, he invited Zhang Hua to visit his home, not only to recommend his younger brother Xie Shi, but also to match his niece Xie Daoyun.

Xie Daoyuan's father has been killed in the war, and a daughter's family will always have a support in the future.

If Xie Daoyuan could enter the palace, it would be the best.

“…”

Zhang Hua had some speculations about Xie An inviting him to visit, but he didn't expect Xie An to be a matchmaker.

The Xie family in Jiangzuo already had Xie An as minister, and Xie Xuan as the chief general of the Northern Prefecture Army. If Xie Shi became an official, he could also become a navy general.

Xie An wanted to arrange for Xie Daoyuan to enter the palace and strengthen the power of the Xie family again.

Xie An himself is a prominent family and has strong political capabilities. As long as he has a good recommendation, it is easy to revive his family.

"Is this what you Xie means, or what Daoyuan means?"

Zhang Hua stared at Xie An.

If Xie An wants to support Xie Daoyuan and then compete with Mulan for the position of queen, it may evolve into a political event in the future, which is not a good thing for the entire force.

"Please don't get me wrong. This is what Daoyuan means. Daoyuan just needs to be a concubine."

Xie An knew what Zhang Hua was worried about.

This kind of political incident involving the harem and the East Palace, no matter what kind of aristocratic families are, once the holy intention is wrong, it will be the result of the whole family being killed.

Xie An was very cautious about this.

Similar political events broke out in the later period, Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che and King of Wu Sun Quan.

If Xie is involved in political events of this level, the deceased tribe is only a matter for one day.

“…”

Zhang Hua fell into silence.

With Zhang Hua's eyesight, it is not difficult to see that Xie Daoyun has a good impression of herself.

Xie An asked again: "I don't know what Ming Gong meant? Otherwise, Daoyuan might be betrothed to others. After all, this child is not young anymore."

"This matter..."

"Ahem cough cough..."

Zhang Hua was about to answer, but suddenly, a cough came from behind the screen.

"Who!"

Xu Chu, who was the guard at the door, shouted loudly, and the momentum burst out, and the whole house was trembling!

Someone is hiding behind the screen, and it may be an assassin!

Xie An stood up, as if he wanted to explain.

The man behind the screen was obviously panicked, and the soles of his feet were tripped. The screen collapsed with a bang, and Zhang Hua quickly got up.

Couldn't Xie An really arrange for an assassin?

Zhang Hua looked carefully. The person hiding behind the screen was Xie Daoyuan, a talented woman from the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Xie Daoyun was a little panicked. At this time, the person she thought of was hiding behind the screen and eavesdropping. Her heart was like a deer bumping into her, her face flushed, and she wanted to find a gap on the ground to get in.

Too embarrassing...

"Zhongkang, retreat, not an assassin, don't be nervous."

Zhang Hua asked Xu Chu to retreat to ease the awkward atmosphere a little.

With Xie An's temperament and vision, it is impossible to do such a stupid thing as assassination.

Xie An called his servants, cleaned up the messy inner hall, and set up a banquet again.

Zhang Hua said calmly: "Miss Xie, please sit down."

Now, Xie Daoyun had to come forward in person.

"Since you are here too, you can speak out."

At this time, Xie An ignored Xie Daoyun's face and could only go straight to the point.

Xie Daoyun blushed, as if her ears were full of charm.

In front of the two uncles and the lovers they like, Xie Daoyuan, who has always been cheerful, couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Now the decision-making power is completely here with Zhang Hua.

Xie Shi assisted on the side: "My niece is clear and scattered, and has a trend under the forest. The emperor is different from ordinary people. It is best to have several princes, be prepared for any trouble, and share the worries for Ming Gong in the future. If Ming Gong accepts Daoyuan, the Xie family is willing to go through fire and water and share life and death."

Seeing Zhang Hua hesitating, Xie Daoyun bit his thin lips lightly and sighed: "If the young master does not allow it, he can only say that he is destined to be a fate without separation. Although Daoyun is a woman, she will not act like a resentful woman in the deep boudoir..."
