Xie An thought that the latter possibility was more likely. After all, with the strength of the Yan Kingdom, it was not impossible to conquer another state, but if he wanted to conquer another state, even a reclusive person like himself should be able to hear a little bit of wind.

At this time, Xie An's eyes showed playfulness, and he asked Gongsun Xu: "His Royal Highness Yan, if Xie is willing to serve in the Yan Kingdom, then who knows which state His Royal Highness will hand over to Xie as the governor of the state?"

Listening to Xie An's words, Gongsun Xu knew that Xie An was testing himself, but his words of solicitation just now were prepared, not on a whim, so he asked Gongsun Xu about this and Xie An's It was expected and prepared.

"I don't know what Mr. Anshi thinks about the position of governor of Qingzhou?"

When Gongsun Xu said this, not only Xie An, but even Changsun Wuji, who had been keeping a calm mind behind Gongsunxu, was a little surprised. Even this eldest grandsun Wuji was almost frightened by Gongsun Xu's words at first.And after thinking about it carefully in his heart, Changsun Wuji had already understood Gongsun Xu's plan, and his face regained his composure, but the slightly trembling fingers still showed that Changsun Wuji didn't look like that in his heart at this time. He acted so calm.

Xie An was also shocked by Gongsun Xu's words, and looked at Gongsun Xu with some admiration, and he had a higher opinion of Gongsun Xu in his heart.

This Changsun Wuji, the official governor of Qingzhou, was still on the sidelines, and Gongsun Xu dared to say that he would be appointed as the governor of Qingzhou.

As the governor of Qingzhou, Changsun Wuji has managed Qingzhou very well in the past few years. Other people may not be able to do better than Changsun Wuji in the position of governor of Qingzhou.

According to private speculation between Xie An and Changsun Wuji, Changsun Wuji will leave Qingzhou in a few years and be transferred to the central government.

6Chapter 16 Finally Xie An

Changsun Wuji is the eldest brother of Changsun Wugou, the queen of Gongsun Xuzheng Palace. In the past few years as the governor of Qingzhou, Changsun Wuji has made no mistakes and made great achievements. Now that thieves dare not go out of the mountains and forests, although the people of Qingzhou can't be regarded as everyone has meat to eat, at least under the governance of Changsun Wuji, the situation of people starving to death in Qingzhou has never happened again.

But now if Changsun Wuji is to step down from the position of governor of Qingzhou, he will either be demoted or promoted.This eldest grandson Wuji has no faults but has merit, so naturally it cannot be demoted, it can only be promoted.

Xie An understood this truth, and so did Changsun Wuji.So now Xie An is having a headache when he sees Changsun Wuji. It is estimated that after Gongsun Xu has said this, Changsun Wuji will do everything possible to get him to become an official. After all, as long as he is willing to become an official, his eldest grandsun Wuji will be Destined to be transferred to the position of one of the nine ministers.How could Changsun Wuji not worry about such a situation?

After thinking about it, Xie An still said to Gongsun Xu: "King Yan, nowadays there are many great talents in the world who are willing to join Dayan's command. Why does King Yan only value me?"

Gongsun Xu smiled and said: "Because in the eyes of this king, no matter how many other people there are, they are not as good as you, Xie An."

Xie An sighed and said, "But I'm afraid King Yan will be disappointed. I, Xie An, have no intention of becoming an official."

Changsun Wuji was also a little anxious at this time, and said: "Anshi, think about it again, there are not many people in my country of Yan who can enjoy the love your king has for you, and I know that you are a person with great ambitions, so you should Are you really willing to take this mountain with you for the rest of your life and die of old age?"

Xie An's eyes were firm, and he said: "You don't need to persuade the auxiliary machine, the things I, Xie An decided will not change."

Gongsun Xu looked at Xie An's appearance, and frowned a little. He didn't expect that he had made such a big condition. Xie An was still unwilling to go out of the mountain. It seemed that he had to use his trump card, but if he used this trump card Then Xie An might not be loyal to plan for himself, so Gongsun Xu actually didn't want to use his trump card unless it was a last resort, but judging from the current situation, it would be impossible if he didn't use it. Gongsun Xu didn't want to enter Baoshan but returned empty-handed.

Well, it's not empty-handed, after all, Xie An is not sure yet, but Li Bai has already been subdued by Gongsun Xu.At best, it can only be regarded as empty-handed.But Gongsun Xu is very greedy. After getting Li Bai, Gongsun Xu's goal is still above Xie An. It would be great if he could take Xie An out of here.

After Gongsun Xu made up his mind, he said to Changsun Wuji: "Auxiliary machine, I remember I asked you to bring some good wine before I came this time, how about you go and bring it in?"

As soon as Li Bai heard that Gongsun Xu had brought good wine, he quickly stood up and said, "I will go with my eldest grandson. I, Li Bai, have no other hobbies in my life, but I can't give up wine."

After speaking, Li Bai smiled and walked out with Changsun Wuji, leaving only Gongsun Xu and Xie An in between.Naturally, Gongsun Xu would not bring any alcohol when he came to Xie An this time. After all, Xie An is not a drinker, but these are not important anymore. Gongsun Xu only needs a chance for him and Xie An to be alone. And Gongsun Xu believed that Changsun Wuji would hold back Li Bai for him so that Li Bai would not come in and disturb his conversation with Xie An.

After Li Bai and Changsun Wuji went out, Xie An only felt that the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became heavy, and Xie An's eyes on Gongsun Xu became a little surprised.Xie An naturally knew that Gongsun Xu asked Changsun Wuji and Li Bai to go out because he had something to say to him alone, and Xie An also wanted to know how Gongsun Xu could persuade him.If Gongsun Xu can convince himself, so what if he became an official in Yan State?

Gongsun Xu took a deep breath at this time, and said to Xie An: "Mr. Anshi, the Xie family is a famous family. Now there is Dao Yun in the Xie family palace, and Xie Xuan and Xie Yingdeng in the army outside the palace. , is enough to ensure that the Xie family can survive in today's troubled times, but if the Xie family wants to go further, it is impossible based on the current layout. If Mr. An Shi is willing to become an official, I believe that under the leadership of Mr. An Shi It is not impossible for the Xie family to go further."

Xie An smiled wryly when he heard the words, and said: "King Yan, the rise and fall of a family is determined by God, and I have always believed that if a family wants to prosper, it depends on one person. There's absolutely nothing wrong with surviving."

After hearing Xie An's answer, Gongsun Xu showed a smile, but for some reason, Gongsun Xu's smile seemed extraordinarily ferocious and cold to Xie An.

Gongsun continued: "It seems that although Mr. Anshi lives in seclusion, he still cares about his family."

A trace of doubt and worry flashed in Xie An's eyes at this moment, and he asked, "What does His Highness King Yan mean by this?"

Gongsun continued with a smile: "I want to make a deal with Mr. Anshi. If Mr. Anshi is willing to become an official in my country of Yan, then I can keep the prosperity of the Xie family and make the Xie family go further; but if Mr. Anshi is unwilling to become an official , I won’t do anything to Mr. Anshi, after all Mr. Anshi is quite famous among scholars, but I don’t need to say more about what will happen to the Xie family, I believe Mr. Anshi will understand.”

Hearing the blatant threat in Gongsun Xu's words, Xie An showed a trace of anger between his brows, and said, "King Yan, such behavior is definitely not what a gentleman would do."

Gongsun Xu laughed again when he heard the words, and said: "I, Gongsun Xu, have never been a gentleman. I am the King of Yan. Sitting in my position, I am destined to do something with bloody hands."

Xie An suddenly stood up at this time, glared at Gongsun and continued: "Isn't His Royal Highness afraid of leaving a bad name in the history books in the future?"

Gongsun Xu said indifferently: "Mr. An Shi was joking. The people who wrote the history books are the historians of the dynasty. How many historians of the past dynasties dare to speak ill of the emperor. If I win this world in the future , then naturally there will be no infamy of me in the history books, but if I don't get this world in the future, does Mr. An Shi think that the history books will have any praise for me?"

Xie An was furious right now, he wanted to scold Gongsun Xu but didn't know what to say.

Gongsun Xu also stood up at this time, and said to Xie An: "Xie An, I will give you one day. I will come here again at this time tomorrow. I hope I can hear the answer I want by then."

Regardless of Xie An's reaction after speaking, Gongsun Xu went straight out of the hut, and said to Changsun Wuji, Li Bai and others outside the hut: "Auxiliary machine, let's go back first and come back tomorrow. Mr. Taibai, How about leaving with us?"

Li Bai said: "Naturally, but today I am a guest and An Shi is the host. Before I leave as a guest, I need to say goodbye to the host."

After Li Bai bid farewell to Xie An, Gongsun Xu took his eldest grandson Wuji, Li Bai, Yuwen Chengdu, Dian Wei, and Xie Daoyun to leave Xie An's hermitage here.On the way, Xie Daoyun nodded secretly to Gongsun Xu, which put Gongsun Xu in a good mood.

I have used my trump card, and Xie Daoyun's actions have also been completed, so I don't worry that Xie An will not be in his pocket.

A day later, Gongsun Xu brought Changsun Wuji, Li Bai, Yuwen Chengdu, and Dianwei to the secluded place of Xie An again, but Xie Daoyun did not come with him today.

When Gongsun Xu brought a few people to the front of Xie An's hut, he found that Xie An had already been waiting in front of the hut. As soon as he saw Gongsun Xu coming, Xie An walked up to Gongsun Xu and bowed to Gongsun Xu. bye.

"Xie An has met His Royal Highness King Yan."

Seeing Xie An like this, Gongsun Xu smiled and said: "It seems that An Shi has thought clearly."

Xie An also smiled and said, "I've thought about it clearly."

"Okay, then the position of governor of Qingzhou belongs to you, Xie An."

6Chapter 17 Yan State Water Army

On the way back from Xie An's hermitage, Gongsun Xu had been chatting with Xie An, Li Bai, Changsun Wuji and others along the way, and this time Xie An was willing to become an official, which was very good for Gongsun Xu However, after Xie An came out of the mountain, Gongsun Xu also kept his promise and handed over the position of governor of Qingzhou to Xie An.As for Changsun Wuji, who was originally the governor of Qingzhou, he was transferred to the central government by Gongsun Xu to serve as a servant of one of the nine ministers.

After Changsun Wuji became a servant, the power of the Changsun family has risen sharply, and it can be said that it is the first family of Dayan.Changsun Sheng is now the Ting Wei of one of the Nine Qings, Changsun Wuji is also the servant of one of the Nine Qings, and Changsun Wugou is the queen of Gongsun Xu's palace. If Gongsun Xu can conquer the world and become emperor in the future, Changsun Wugou will be A surefire queen.

Now the position of the three princes of Yan State is vacant, and the civil servants are headed by Jiuqing, and among the nine ministers, the eldest grandson's family occupies two seats, which shows that Gongsun Xu attaches great importance to the eldest grandson's family.Of course, if the Changsun family has no ability, then Gongsun Xu has nothing to do no matter how important he is. After all, even if he is close to the Changsun family, if he does not have that ability, Gongsun Xu will not push anyone to a position where he cannot sit.

However, with the abilities of Changsun Sheng and Changsun Wuji, there is no problem in serving as Jiuqing.

After meeting the three hundred Tiger Chasing Army soldiers led by Gao Aocao, Fan Lihua, Hu Sanniang and others, Gongsun Xu and his party stayed in Huang County, and then Gongsun Xu let Xie An and Changsun Wuji start handing over the affairs , Qingzhou is also a big state, if it is not well governed, it is not a very good thing.

However, Xie Anjiu lived in seclusion in Qingzhou, and he was quite famous in Qingzhou. It would not be the case that someone would not accept Xie An, and even if someone did not accept Xie An, it could be easily resolved with Xie An's ability.If Xie An couldn't even solve these small problems, then Gongsun Xu could only say that he thought highly of Xie An.

After Huang County, Gongsun Xu began to let Xie An prepare to take over the government affairs of Qingzhou Governor, while Changsun Wuji and Li Bai began to prepare. When he left Qingzhou, these two people would also return to Yecheng with him. .

Changsun Wuji and Xie An were handing over affairs, while Gongsun Xu brought several generals under his command to the Yan Guo Navy training base in Huang County under the guidance of Su Lie.

The white feather horse stamped on all fours, carrying Gongsun Xu all the way, while Su Lie, Yuwen Chengdu, Dian Wei, Gao Aocao, Fan Lihua, Hu Sanniang and others followed all the way, and after that were three hundred tiger chasing troops Soldiers.

After arriving at the water army camp, Gongsun Xu found that Gan Ning and Qi Jiguang had already been waiting outside the camp, so he dismounted from his horse, and Gan Ning and Qi Jiguang rushed up to greet him: "Gan Ning (Qi Jiguang) see Your Majesty."

Gongsun continued with a smile and said: "Xingba, Yuanjing, there is no need to be too polite, this king is here to see how the navy of my country Yan has been trained by you, don't let me down."

Gan Ning smiled heartily: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the navy will never let you down."

Gongsun Xu nodded, and walked into the naval camp under the guidance of Gan Ning and Qi Jiguang. Unlike infantry drills, naval drills are usually done on water, and Gongsun Xu followed Gan Ning. When Ning came to the training site of the navy, he found that the navy was training in full swing.
