Dress as a villain
Chapter 160 The Marshal’s Strategy and Sophistication (1)
In the Lanzhang Palace school grounds, Xie Lanzhi raised a silver bow and shot three arrows straight into the bull's-eye.
After warming up.The pro-military immediately brought the tray with the towels.
She grabbed a towel to wipe the sweat from her forehead, put the silver bow on the tray, and asked casually, "Is Xie Ji here?"
"Marshal, the general returned to Tianjing by water from Weidu yesterday." The army said respectfully.
"Oh." Xie Lanzhi didn't ask again.
She continued to take up the silver bow and shoot arrows until one missed the target and she finally let it go.
The target soldier ran to report the number: "Ten arrows with red hearts, one arrow missed!"
The pro-military immediately complimented: "Marshal is in good condition today."
Xie Lanzhi looked at the bull's-eye a hundred steps away, and she suddenly asked, "I asked you that three out of ten people died, and the other seven people were innocent, how would you deal with it?"
The pro-military didn't know why the marshal asked this question, but as a pro-military, he neither obeyed the clan nor the army.
Their pro-army is the Marshal's personal army.Only follow the orders of the Marshal.
Qin Jun said: "If the other seven people make the marshal unhappy, the subordinates will definitely take the responsibility and kill them."
"What if you have kids?"
Qinjun: "It is natural to teach them well and not let them learn bad things. Parents hope that their children can live up to their expectations and be worthy of themselves."
Xie Lanzhi had no other reaction, she turned around and went back to the palace.
Jianzhang Palace is very busy at the moment, Xiwei and Jingchen are constantly coming in and out, occasionally there are Xie's civil servants, but Xie's civil servants always go out of the palace in displeasure.
Xie's civil servants gathered together, complaining to each other: "The Marshal has been doing nothing these days, delegating power everywhere, and there is not even a word of discussion."
"If this continues, our Xie family's living space will become smaller and smaller."
"You can't sit still and wait for death, go directly to the marshal!"
"Confused, the marshal is willing to integrate the two armies, so you are going against the marshal."
"But all the places we occupied before were taken away by Jing Chen's gang. How can I bear this tone!"
After all, the Xie family is a martial family, and even civil servants have a hot temper.
One of them named them by name: "Xie Zhengfeng, what do you think? Don't think that your son Xie Meixiang is now in Xiwei, so he is safe."
Xie Zhengfeng is now a fifth-rank official, subordinate to the Ministry of Officials.The peer suddenly pointed the finger at him, and still bossed him around.
Xie Zhengfeng shook his sleeves immediately, and snorted coldly: "If the world is reasonable, it would not be our turn."
"Get it when you see it!"
"You coward, run away again." Others accused him of disunity.
Xie Zhengfeng ignored the two of them, because recently his eyelids were always twitching, he couldn't sleep well every day, he didn't eat well, and he was always in a state of hesitation.
He doesn't know why?It's as if Xie's lost his backbone in an instant.
Obviously the Marshal is still there, why does he feel this way?
I remembered Xie Guang again.
Xie Zhengfeng couldn't help but said: "Even if the marshal treats the general like this, we shouldn't treat the general like this."
"One must have a conscience, the general did something wrong, but if you didn't nod at the beginning..."
"Thank you Zhengfeng!" Someone interrupted him.
Xie Guang immediately made the other people's faces darken, and they all avoided taboos.
Xie Zhengfeng simply didn't want to be with them.
When he left the palace, he happened to meet Xie Meixiang passing by. The father and son met each other. Xie Meixiang specially stayed to let his subordinates go to work first, so he could delay some time to talk to his father.
"Father, I met Xie Ying in the Department of Punishment. She is now sent to hard labor to save her life, but her future is..."
Xie Zhengfeng nodded silently.
Xie Meixiang said, looking carefully at the left and right sides, and then told the truth to Xie Zhengfeng with his face close to his face: "Father, the tricks in the clan are really getting worse and worse recently."
"If I definitely couldn't see it before, I've seen it more clearly since I entered West Guard."
"Meixiang, just say it." Xie Zhengfeng said: "Father, like you, has been feeling uneasy recently, but I don't know where this uneasiness comes from."
Xie Meixiang finally said: "Father, the Xie family is not what it used to be."
The eyes of both father and son were full of regret, and then they talked about what happened in the next post. After chatting between father and son, they became happy again.Fortunately, I kept up with the marshal's pace.
Xie Guang's family moved again, this time to a place closer to the county government.The county magistrate is Xie Qing, the cousin of Xie Meixiang.
Xie Qing urged Mrs. Wang several times to go to Yijin, at least she was Lu Pinghou's mother-in-law, her status was honorable, no one dared to bully her.
Xie Qing also said that not all Xie clans hate the general.
Mrs. Wang insisted on staying with the father and daughter, and every month Xie Guang distributed the monthly money, and she donated everything except her family to the poor.
A good general's wife, from being a poor and beautiful woman to helping people wash clothes every day and night to earn money for the family.
On Xie Ying's side, the officials sent by Hai Yun have been watching her go to the waste canal to clean up the silt and move the fallen rocks.Xie Ying moved without complaint or regret.
The two officials on the shore whispered: "At least she is the daughter of the general, and she is also an expert in fighting in the army. If Mrs. Xie said no, she would not want it, and she went to death. It's really chilling."
"Originally, Master Hai wanted her to sweep the streets, so she sprinkled water and it passed. Who knew that someone in the Xie family put pressure on him to let him go to labor according to the degree of exile."
"In this world of exile, once you leave Tianjing, it's a matter of life or not. Maybe the officials who accompanied you to the exile will not come back alive."
"This group of people are too ruthless, aren't they afraid of cutting off their children and grandchildren?"
"I heard it was ordered by the Marshal..."
Xie Ying's voice came from the channel under the river: "You two officials, it's better not to talk nonsense."
The two officials immediately shut their mouths. They are small people who usually don't have access to noble daughters like Xie Ying. Now it's only fresh to hear her called the official.
The two officials dared to ask: "Hey, I heard that your father did something wrong, but it's not normal to fight dead people. Why did you punish him so severely?"
"Could it be that your father is domineering at home and has offended many people?"
There was a silence between the two of them.Since Xie Ying confessed with a guilty conscience, their sympathy for her was reduced by more than half.
"Cut, dare to be self-inflicted."
Xie Ying suddenly shouted: "That's not it!"
"My father is not such a person!!"
"He has always done his best to the clan, and he is even more loyal to... the generalissimo." In the end, even her voice gradually weakened, and the officers and soldiers still thought she was guilty, and they didn't even have the confidence to shout out.
At the same time, Xie Ji took over the position of the general in the clan, and he went to the Golden Luan Hall to receive the seal of the general and half a tiger talisman.
Xie Lanzhi did not go to the Golden Luan Hall to grant the seal in person.It was Wu Qiu who granted the seal. When Wu Qiu presented the official seal with both hands, he didn't give him half of the tiger talisman immediately.
Xie Ji received the official seal, and specifically hinted to Wu Qiu to hand over the tiger talisman to him as soon as possible.
Wu Qiu took out half a tiger talisman, and he specifically asked, "General, have you thought about this tiger talisman?"
"What do you mean?" Xie Ji snatched the tiger talisman away, thinking that he was defending Xie Guang, but Xie Guang's trouble and dismissal had nothing to do with him.He should be the most guilt-free person, and it is justifiable to succeed Xie Guang.
As Wu Qiu was his former staff member, he thought of his affection and asked again: "Do you really think about it?"
Xie Ji was immediately displeased and said, "Master Wu, what do you mean? Don't you think I'm not worthy to be this general?"
"No, I'm just asking you, do you really have a clear conscience?" Wu Qiu asked repeatedly, making Xie Ji a little impatient, he was already in a bad mood.Due to various reasons, only the position of the general can bring him a little comfort.So he came to take over with a good mood.
Wu Qiu finally sighed and said nothing.He didn't speak, but Xie Ji felt uneasy.
He is a person who understands Wu Qiu, he never speaks nonsense, let alone play charades.Now it is so obvious to remind myself.
Xie Ji took the initiative to ask him: "Master Wu, can you tell this general clearly why you are asking this general?"
Wu Qiu said: "It would be great if you can have a clear conscience."
In the end, he still didn't fully explain his intentions, Wu Qiu bowed to him, and then said that he was busy with business and went directly to the Military Aircraft Pavilion.
Xie Ji was even more disturbed by his attitude. After he left the palace, a group of people from the Xie family lined up in two lines to welcome him, and there was a lot of congratulations, all of them were happy that Xie Ji had taken the position of the general.
Received such a warm reception, Xie Ji quickly left Wu Qiu behind.There is also a wedding banquet in the evening.
Xie Lanzhi sent a gift over.Xie Shangguang, Xie Meixiang and the others did not attend. Many members of the Xie family thought that the celebration banquet was lively and lively, but in the end at least half of the people did not come, and there were more than a dozen tables vacant at the banquet.
People from Xie Ji's lineage think that these people are still thinking about Xie Guang, and they are obsessed with the past, which is simply ignorant.Xie Ji was in a bit of a bad mood at first, because his subordinates kept congratulating him and even gave him gifts that he liked, and that feeling dissipated immediately.
From now on, Xie Clan's General will be Xie Ji, even if anyone refuses to accept, he cannot be pulled from the position of General.
This night, Xie Ji was obviously the happiest person.
The reason why Xie Shangguang didn't go was because he was very entangled with Xie Guang. He was entangled with his recklessness and caused his cousin to die.To blame Xie Guang is to insult Zuo himself and his cousin.So Xie Shangguang did not go to Xie Ji's wedding banquet.
Others didn't go because they refused to accept Xieji.I feel that Xie Ji is not as good as Xie Guang. Although Xie Guang is reckless, the position of general is not something that just anyone can take.The reason why Xie Guang was able to secure the position of the general was not only for the protection of the marshal, but also to maintain a balance.
The Xie family is not as united as it appears from the outside.
Now half of the people have not been able to see this sense of crisis, which makes many people feel disappointed.Some people even thought that it would be better to go to various places to settle down with other soldiers.Even if you stay in Tianjing to enjoy it, you will probably die to enjoy it.
At the Lanzhang Palace, Xie Lanzhi was having a drink with Si Qitong, and they were enjoying the world of two under the bright moonlight and the starry sky.
The two rarely talked about the marriage of the two younger generations.
Si Bogong has urged several times this year, and he even recommended Li Ling's daughter regarding Si Qinian's marriage.
Xie Lanzhi felt that the children should be the ones to decide the marriage, and the adults should try not to get involved, after all, it was his whole life.
Si Qitong didn't intend to casually point to marriage either.The two bypassed Si Qinian and brought up Xie Shangguang.
Speaking of Xie Shangguang, this young man has been following them since two years ago. Although his work is not reliable, they are the ones who watched him grow up.
"Lanzhi wants to match him and Qiqi?"
Xie Lanzhi said: "Well, Shang Guang's child is immature, I can help him, whether he can succeed or not depends on him."
Si Qitong didn't say much, she was very grateful to Shang Guang's grandma for everything she did for Lanzhi.She will remember this kindness, but marriage is a lifelong event after all, and it still depends on the wishes of the eldest grandma.
If Beiyu and the Xie family marry, Beiluo will definitely agree without hesitation.
The two clinked glasses and leaned against each other.Under the vast starry sky, there is no longer a lonely figure.
On the next day at the Golden Luan Hall, Xie Ji proposed Xie's willingness to reorganize the army, intending to rebuild a new Xie army to make up for the [-] Xie's lost troops.
It stands to reason that Xie Ji was not at fault for fulfilling the responsibilities of a general, but he mentioned it at this juncture, and Xie Ji had to bite the bullet and ask, just because he promised to support his cronies at the wedding banquet, prepare the army, and continue to maintain Xie Ji. His position in Tianjing.
Now the marshal intends to let the Xie family integrate into the Beijing Guard Army. This is a good idea and can speed up the Xie family's integration into Tianjing.However, not all Xie families maintain an open mind, and some are stubborn and conservative.At this time, Xie Ji represented this group of people.
Apart from integrating the Jingwei Army, Si Qitong was still thinking about the newsstand, and she already had the idea of establishing an art troupe in the army.Let the Jingwei Army have a leaping difference from the traditional Jin Army.
In the past, the Jin army served more or less in order to have enough to eat. Now that there is a bumper harvest in all parts of Beijing, the army rations are already abundant.What's more, there are a bunch of disobedient bastards in the team.Especially the Xie family, it can be said that the Xie family's children are simply born to be soldiers.
Among Ma Hong's training and selection of generals, Xie's troops are the best in terms of quality and strength.
What followed was Xie's arrogance. They only obeyed the strong and refused to obey the weak.
Xie Lanzhi promised Xie Ji to prepare a new army, as long as anyone is willing, he can go to Xie Ji to report.
She has a completely devolved attitude, like everyone else.Xie Ji was very surprised.
After retiring from the court, Xie Ji immediately summoned the Xie family to start integrating the army. He thought he could raise at least [-] troops, but the total number was only [-].Five times fewer people than he thought.
Xie Ji turned from joy to sadness in an instant.After that, he was furious and felt that Mrs. Xie didn't obey him at all.
Those who supported him began to recruit troops from within and outside the clan for Xie Ji, but it was still no more than a thousand, and the Xie clan was very inactive towards joining the army as if they were falling apart.As long as they can read some characters, even if they are beaten by the teacher every day in the school, they don't want to be soldiers anymore.
Therefore, this group of people went to Fengxi Town to attract people. Most of the Xie family in Fengxi Town came from the southern region, and they were sent by Da Zongpo.Da Zongpo's attitude is their attitude.
What's more, Dazong Po once hoped to keep Xie Guang.Others also believed that soldiers should obey their vocation. Xie Guang acted recklessly and caused [-] innocent soldiers to die tragically, but what the living did was even more chilling.Since the death of [-] soldiers, the morale of the Xie family has officially collapsed. The villains in the clan are in power, jumping up and down, can't help but justify the names of the [-] victims, and blame all the faults on Xie Guang.
Compared with them shirking their responsibilities and taking the opportunity to step on them, Xie Guang never complained, but just accepted silently.Just like Xie Guang when he was a general, he also stood up countless times to stand up for the clansmen and fight for their interests, for which he was often beaten by the marshal.
When something happened to Xie Guang, everyone seemed to see only Xie Guang's crime.His past achievements seemed to be wiped out without being mentioned.Anyone with a little conscience in the Xie clan will feel chilled.
Not to mention that Xie's reorganization of the new army is composed of those people who are jumping up and down.They don't even want to be with these people.
But Xie Ji didn't know, he only thought that it was him who was dissatisfied by the others.
Xie Ji immediately ordered the young people in Fengxi Town to join the army, but if they didn't want to, they were arrested in Tianjing.But people are alive after all, if you catch a batch, you will flee, and using force to pull the young men has a great counter effect.
The lower-level Xie family in Fengxi Town immediately joined forces and wrote an appeal letter, suing Xie Ji to Xie Lanzhi.
Xie Ji never expected that he would be jointly opposed by his tribe.He felt that he was really useless as a general.
This was the first time that Xie Lanzhi received a complaint from thousands of people. She called Xie Ji into the palace and did not reprimand him.
Xie Ji's original anger dissipated after seeing Xie Lanzhi.
The two were on the school grounds, and Xie Lanzhi took her silver bow and shot an arrow: "Are you wronged?"
"Marshal." Xie Ji lowered his head, his eyes were full of confusion and confusion: "Is it true that the last general is not as good as Xie Guang at all?"
Xie Lanzhi put down her silver bow and said to him: "You are better than Xie Guang."
"Then why do everyone have opinions on me and don't obey me, isn't it because they are still thinking about Xie Guang!" Xie Ji was very unwilling, this was completely different from the general he imagined.
He should be more powerful than Xie Guang, and more sought after by his tribe.
He kept repeating: "Why, why is this happening?"
Xie Lanzhi saw that although he had resentment, at least she knew to find the reason from herself, instead of blindly relying on Xie Guang.
Facing the generals under him, he still followed the generals he was born to die.Her mood was different after all.
There is a junior look forward to Xie Shangguang, and there is an affirmation of the general's strength.
Each of them is excellent.Even in the next 20 years, there will be no generals like Xie Ji, Xie Guang and Xie Xia in the Xie family.
Even Xie Ying, one of the young generals with the most potential, has been eliminated from the Xie family.
Most of the current Xie family have started to study literature, and no one wants to fight and kill like before, and live a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife.
"Xie Ji." She said: "Have you ever thought that maybe it has nothing to do with you. It's not you at all who they object to."
Xie Ji looked up quickly, he was very puzzled and asked: "Isn't it?"
"You don't know the people below." Xie Lanzhi said: "When Xie Guang was a general, he didn't understand what the people below thought, but do you know why he can secure the position of general?"
"Just because the commander-in-chief is protecting him, in order to maintain the balance between the upper and lower levels?"
"Don't you mean that?" Xie Ji beeped softly, not daring to ask loudly.
Xie Lanzhi said: "Yes, but not all of them."
"You must have heard that soldiers follow generals, and strong generals have no weak soldiers." As she spoke, she began to draw her silver bow and hit the target with an arrow.There are two arrows nailed to the red heart on the target board.
Xie Ji followed the silver bow and looked at the target, he said: "Marshal, please speak directly."
Xie Lanzhi told him: "Five years ago, no, the me of seven years ago, and the me now, have always had only one attitude towards Xie Guang."
"That's Xie Guang representing the demands of the Xie clan."
"I beat Xie Guang. Everyone knew that I was not satisfied with their demands, so they naturally dismissed the idea."
That's the case, Xie Ji often looked down on Xie Guang because he took the initiative to take the blame and acted as the marshal's sandbag.At that time, he only thought that Xie Guang was stupid, so stupid that he would not use his brain to tell the Marshal the needs of the people in other ways.
Now it's his turn to become a general. He used to despise Xie Guang's method of being a sandbag, but he has to admit that it is really effective.
But at this moment, Xie Ji didn't think the marshal was teaching him, telling him what to do?
Xie Ji was silent, and he said again: "Marshal, in your heart, I really don't have the strength to secure the position of general?"
Xie Lanzhi said: "I said you are better than Xie Guang, you know how to be flexible."
"Even if you can't do it now, you will soon find a way to satisfy those demands of the tribe."
Xie Ji was silent again.
This time he began to reflect.His ability to become a general must be due to mutual support and mutual use with his clan, and they are all based on interests first.It's not the so-called deep family affection.Playing the emotional card is of no use to Xie Shi.
Now there are many people playing the emotional card because of Xie Guang. Is it because of gratitude?No, the marshal has already hinted at the obvious demands of the clansmen.And clan satisfaction has always been a bottomless pit.Even if it is solved today, there will be different needs tomorrow.What can he do then?
The human heart is fleshy. Even the cruel and cold-blooded Xie family will have a trace of warmth because of the blood of the tribe. Everyone puts the collective interests first. Since Xie Guang became a general, he has acted as a bridge between the tribe and the marshal. It is said that there is hard work without credit.They are not the kind of ungrateful people, even if what Xie Guang did for them, the results are not ideal, but Xie will not forget the favor he owes.
No matter how much the clansmen hated Xie Guang, they only stopped at pulling him down from the throne of the general.
Instead of... bullying Xie Guang.They are all from the Xie family, so everyone understands each other's self-esteem within the clan.However, Xie Guang's name was removed from the genealogy, and in the end even the identity of the Xie clan was not guaranteed.
In the end, Xie Guang's family had to be expelled to save their lives.If it weren't for the wishes of most of the Xie family, the marshal would not easily revolutionize Xie Guang.
Is their Xie family the kind of person who will take revenge on those with small stomachs?Yes, the group of people who recommended him.In order to achieve their goals, those people didn't care who took the position of general.
Those who care are the ones who really care about Mrs. Xie.Xie's heart of admiring martial arts should not be lost, let alone his heart of knowing how to repay kindness.
And what unites the Xie Clan's army has never been the position of the general, but the hearts of the people.
At this moment, Xie Ji's confusion suddenly cleared up.
He took a step forward, bent towards Xie Lanzhi and clasped his fists: "Marshal, can I borrow your silver bow?"
"Take it." Xie Lanzhi handed him the silver bow.
Xie Ji immediately fired three arrows at once, all of them hit the target, and the target soldiers reported three hits in succession.
In the end, Xie Ji returned the silver bow to her hand, and he bowed deeply again: "Marshal, I will finally understand your painstaking efforts."
Xie Lanzhi gave him the silver bow.Nothing was said.Xie Ji finally resigned, and he left Lanzhang Palace.
At the same time, Yelu Qiqi happened to change into Xie Jun's clothes and secretly followed Xie Ji out of the palace.
Afterwards it was discovered that it was too late.
Si Qitong learned that Qiqi had sneaked out restlessly, and when he returned to the palace, he saw a letter from Beiyu on the desk, which was sent by Beiluo to inform Qiqi and Mr. Anshan of their marriage.
"No wonder she wants to leave the palace."
She immediately sent someone out to secretly protect Qiqi.
Yelu Qiqi was also very restless. After going out, she immediately left the team and went to the clothing store to change into a Confucian uniform to pretend to be a student. She also went to the bookstore to buy a map of the Nanyang Islands after leaving Tianjing.
In this era, the four countries of Nanyang once had trade with Jin, which lasted for 200 years. Unfortunately, it was interrupted one after another, and the trade environment was unstable. Until 20 years ago, there was no trade.
Moreover, the four countries in Nanyang were all affiliated countries of the Jin State and were part of the tributary system.
The spies sent out by Si Qitong were tracking Yelu Qiqi to the west port, and were about to stop her from boarding the ship, but the Xie merchant ship capsized due to overload, but luckily it was on the shore, and everyone was just a false alarm.But Yelu Qiqi was unlucky today, she landed late, and was accidentally washed downstream by the rapids.
The spy jumped into the water immediately, but it was too late.
The two officials downriver were deserting, drinking wine and eating roast chicken, calling Xie Ying to come ashore from time to time: "Hey, former Xiaoqianhu, the water is too urgent, you should come up."
Xie Ying said, "I'll go up after I fix this gap."
"I said what are you working so hard for? Anyway, you have to work hard for three years. No matter how hard you try, you can't advance." The officials were very puzzled.
They didn't dare to leave. After all, they were the daughters of the Xie family. They had a promising future. Who knew if they would have a chance to stand up in the future?Maybe Xie Ying will be recruited by His Highness.That's why the officials didn't dare to be rude to Xie Ying because of this.
What's more, the two of them couldn't beat her, let alone bully her.
"Come up quickly." The other officer couldn't stand it anymore, got up and wanted to get off the bank, and arrested him: "Are you trying to escape?"
The official said on purpose: "Swim out of the water."
As soon as the words came out, the official servant who was squatting drinking suddenly burst into laughter: "Old Wu, just leave her alone, the river is so fast now, who would be stupid enough to swim now."
"And she looks like a landlubber."
The two started teasing Xie Ying again, and Xie Ying was used to it.Just when she looked up, there was a person in the middle of the river splashing water continuously, swimming smoothly, she didn't pay much attention.
But when the two officials saw it, they immediately screamed: "Look, did someone fall into the river?"
"No way, I look like I'm playing in the water."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Now that the rapids can even rush down a cow, who would be stupid enough to play in the middle of the river?"
As the two chattered, Xie Ying turned her head again and found that a young and petite son was washed down in the middle of the river. Because of the loss of strength, she couldn't even do the posture of lying on her back.
Xie Ying jumped into the river without hesitation, and swam to the young master's side with her strength, trying to pull him back, but the current became more and more urgent, and the two of them were rushed ten meters away.
The officers and soldiers on the shore were so frightened that their scalps went numb: "Help, help!"
"Someone was washed down!!"
Two officers and soldiers in uniform yelled, and the migrant workers who were resting nearby got up one after another. They stood on the bank and saw two little girls being washed down by the river. Everyone immediately took action and connected the bamboo poles on the bank. I improvised a bamboo raft and let the water wash down.
Seeing this, Xie Ying immediately leaned on the bamboo raft. Seeing that the bamboo raft was getting tighter and tighter against her, she hugged the little boy in her arms and held his chest with her right hand. .
The little girl in her arms groaned, "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooth pain." ."
Xie Ying: "..."
is a girl.
She put the little girl on the bamboo raft and pushed it to the shore desperately. Fortunately, with the help of migrant workers, she stopped the bamboo raft, but Xie Ying was washed away again by the rapids.
Qiqi was lying on the bamboo raft, she reached out to her savior for the first time, this time she watched the strong woman weakly being washed away by the water for a further distance.
The other party also waved at her with a comforting smile: "It's good that the girl is fine, don't be afraid, I will be fine."
The softest part of Qiqi's heart was suddenly touched by this person, and her chest throbbed hotly.It's a feeling I've never felt before.
Distressed.
Afterwards, when the two officials found Xie Ying, their first reaction was to cry to death.
That is to keep one's own head.
After Xie Ying came ashore, she was drenched and even sneezed. The two officials didn't dare to let her go into the water to work again.Let her go back quickly.
Xie Ying didn't want to cause trouble for others, and she was afraid that her mother would worry, so she found a piece of woods and boiled water in an earthen pot she picked up to wash it. Fortunately, she was in good health and did not catch the cold.
After tidying up, she used the remaining money to buy a set of coarse clothes to put on, and then stepped on them, waiting for the sun to set before returning home.
When I came home, I just ran into my father, Xie Guang.
Xie Guang came back tired. He glanced at Xie Ying. The father and daughter nodded secretly. They went home tacitly, and they were all happy and shouted loudly: "Ma'am. I'm back for my husband!"
"Mom, I'm back."
Mrs. Wang came out of the house in a hurry, looked at the two of them, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief seeing that their father and daughter were safe and sound: "Okay, wash your hands and eat."
The father and daughter went into the house, took off their boots, poured water and washed their hands, and then went to the dinner table to eat.
The family of three chattered, and Mrs. Wang suddenly brought up the fact that someone was washed away during the day: "I heard that Xie's boat capsized again, and a little girl was accidentally washed away by the water. She was still a nobleman, and then a child went to Rescue her, but I was washed away instead."
"I think there are still a lot of good people these days. I hope that child is okay."
When Xie Ying heard this, she held a chipped clay bowl and paused, but quickly covered it up.
She said: "Mom, I was watching from the shore. She was fine and was rescued by a group of kind-hearted migrant workers."
"That's it, those people are really kind-hearted." Wang said happily immediately: "As long as our family is safe, I can rest assured."
The family of three ate rough tea and light food, and they didn't feel bitter at all.
Lanzhang palace palace.
After the imperial physician diagnosed Yelu Qiqi, he prescribed a few medicines and left.
Xie's mother-in-law boiled the medicine and brought it to the bedside, serving Qiqi to drink the medicine.
After Yelu Qiqi finished drinking the medicine, she lay on the bed. Although her head was swollen and her eyes were dizzy, the appearance of that woman kept appearing in her mind.
His brows and eyes are heroic and gentle, his skin is pale copper, but his facial features are delicate, which makes her heart thump every time she thinks of her.
Xie Lanzhi had just finished handling military affairs when she heard that Yelu Qiqi almost had an accident when she ran out. She hurried back and met Si Qitong at the same time.
There was helplessness in the eyes of both of them.They didn't tell anyone about this matter, they all kept it a secret, so as not to make a bigger mess.
The two came to visit, but Yelu Qiqi was still in a daze.
Xie Lanzhi thought that the child was scared out of his wits.She came to comfort her, but Yelu Qiqi couldn't look away after seeing her, and kept looking for the familiar figure on her body.
She looks a bit like Marshal.
Seeing her staring at him with burning eyes, Xie Lanzhi thought she was crazy?
Si Qitong personally took her pulse and told her, "It's just that Feng Han just took the medicine, so he should be fine."
"That's good, otherwise how should I explain to her brother." Xie Lanzhi changed the towel for Qiqi and covered her forehead again.
Yelu Qiqi gently grabbed her cuff, seemed to look at her, but also didn't seem to: "Don't go."
Xie Lanzhi only thought that she was ill and felt insecure: "Heal your illness obediently, don't run around anymore."
"There is also the matter of your father Khan's marriage. As long as you disagree, your brother and I will escort you. You don't have to worry."
Yelu Qiqi slowly closed her eyes, and then let go.
Si Qitong was beside her, staring at Qiqi thoughtfully, and then remembered the spy's report.
She couldn't help but sigh: "Lanzhi, isn't the child a bit precocious now?"
Xie Lanzhi looked slightly startled, then looked her up and down, and there was an emotion similar to yours in his eyes.
"I'm an adult." Si Qitong took her hand, and the two walked out of the palace.
He remembered that Xie Lanzhi had been in the barracks all day today, and would run to the Punishment Division from time to time.She guessed that Lanzhi should do something in secret.
She didn't point it out, but said: "Lanzhi, your painstaking efforts will be hard for people to understand in the future."
"It seems that the Jingwei army is profiting from the Jin army of the palace, but in fact, it is not driving the Xie family, and bringing the Xie family who is going downhill back to the right path."
"The loss of Xie Guang is a great blow to the Xie clan. However, some people still have the mentality of cutting their tails to survive, and they have been immersed in the glory of the past and stopped moving forward."
"Not only did they not follow, but they tried to obstruct Xie's future. This is an unforgivable thing."
Xie Lanzhi stared at her deeply: "Little Phoenix can also see that both Shang Guang and Xie Ying are the future of the Xie family."
"The Xie family ruined the future with their own hands. Even the future of the lower class." Xie Lanzhi thought of the ten people involved in the crime, and two of them were children.
If the weak sprouts are watered with venom by the people behind the case, what will be taught will not be pillars, but a den of thieves.
"The case of Xie Ying's anti-killing is not that simple." Xie Lanzhi said: "There has been someone secretly behind this case. I will not deal with the seven people, and the people behind them will not let them live."
"Including those two children." So she went to the Department of Punishment today.
Zhang Ju of the Punishment Department found the two children who committed the crime, but they were just corpses.The two bruises on his neck were strangled to death in his sleep.
The other five people were all sent out to perform missions by some members of the Xie family, and the list was marked as dead the next day, and some pensions were hastily distributed to the family members to settle the matter.
Some members of the Xie family are Xie Ji's younger brother, Xie Lin.
In Xie Ji's mansion, since Xie Ji got the answer from Xie Lanzhi, he has been secretly observing the group of people in the clan who support him.
Let people secretly watch what they did, especially his brother Xie Lin.It's just that nothing unusual was found, and he thought he was overthinking until the Department of Punishment quietly gave him information.
Only then did he know that after the criminals were reported, they were sent to various places to die.It is said that he was killed in action, but he was actually assassinated by himself.
The Xie clan is most taboo to engage in internal assassination. Even if the marshal wants to kill his father and relatives, it is a blatant massacre, not an assassination.
The assassination undoubtedly touched Xie's bottom line.
But the people he sent out told him that nothing happened.
Xie Ji smiled, but he didn't smile, he covered his head and never thought that not only his younger brother lied to him, but even his people in Tianjing were bribed by his younger brother.Treat him positively and negatively.
He is really a useless general.
Thinking of his younger brother operating secretly, Xie Ji just didn't want him to get what he wanted.The next day, he left Tianjing alone, leaving Wu Qiu a letter of resignation before leaving.Then go for a while, and continue to be his general of the Red River Shangdu.At least there will be no intrigue there, at least there will be brothers who really obey and follow him.
Instead of being a puppet in Tianjing.
Xie Ji finally understood that it is not easy to be a general.Even if you become a general, you can't want to seize power.
Because standing on top of the general is the marshal.
All supreme power belongs only to the Marshal.
What is the general?The general of the Xie Clan is a puppet that communicates between the tribe and the marshal.
If you want to be superior to the Marshal, he is the number one to die!
He finally understood.Why did everyone never think about taking Metabolism, but he thought about it?
Because of the Marshal.
The marshal has been sending out a signal from beginning to end, she is optimistic about the right general Xie Ji.Therefore, under her subtle influence, the clansmen would naturally make their choices towards him.
After figuring everything out, and figuring out what a conspiracy is, Xie Ji was surprised.
After warming up.The pro-military immediately brought the tray with the towels.
She grabbed a towel to wipe the sweat from her forehead, put the silver bow on the tray, and asked casually, "Is Xie Ji here?"
"Marshal, the general returned to Tianjing by water from Weidu yesterday." The army said respectfully.
"Oh." Xie Lanzhi didn't ask again.
She continued to take up the silver bow and shoot arrows until one missed the target and she finally let it go.
The target soldier ran to report the number: "Ten arrows with red hearts, one arrow missed!"
The pro-military immediately complimented: "Marshal is in good condition today."
Xie Lanzhi looked at the bull's-eye a hundred steps away, and she suddenly asked, "I asked you that three out of ten people died, and the other seven people were innocent, how would you deal with it?"
The pro-military didn't know why the marshal asked this question, but as a pro-military, he neither obeyed the clan nor the army.
Their pro-army is the Marshal's personal army.Only follow the orders of the Marshal.
Qin Jun said: "If the other seven people make the marshal unhappy, the subordinates will definitely take the responsibility and kill them."
"What if you have kids?"
Qinjun: "It is natural to teach them well and not let them learn bad things. Parents hope that their children can live up to their expectations and be worthy of themselves."
Xie Lanzhi had no other reaction, she turned around and went back to the palace.
Jianzhang Palace is very busy at the moment, Xiwei and Jingchen are constantly coming in and out, occasionally there are Xie's civil servants, but Xie's civil servants always go out of the palace in displeasure.
Xie's civil servants gathered together, complaining to each other: "The Marshal has been doing nothing these days, delegating power everywhere, and there is not even a word of discussion."
"If this continues, our Xie family's living space will become smaller and smaller."
"You can't sit still and wait for death, go directly to the marshal!"
"Confused, the marshal is willing to integrate the two armies, so you are going against the marshal."
"But all the places we occupied before were taken away by Jing Chen's gang. How can I bear this tone!"
After all, the Xie family is a martial family, and even civil servants have a hot temper.
One of them named them by name: "Xie Zhengfeng, what do you think? Don't think that your son Xie Meixiang is now in Xiwei, so he is safe."
Xie Zhengfeng is now a fifth-rank official, subordinate to the Ministry of Officials.The peer suddenly pointed the finger at him, and still bossed him around.
Xie Zhengfeng shook his sleeves immediately, and snorted coldly: "If the world is reasonable, it would not be our turn."
"Get it when you see it!"
"You coward, run away again." Others accused him of disunity.
Xie Zhengfeng ignored the two of them, because recently his eyelids were always twitching, he couldn't sleep well every day, he didn't eat well, and he was always in a state of hesitation.
He doesn't know why?It's as if Xie's lost his backbone in an instant.
Obviously the Marshal is still there, why does he feel this way?
I remembered Xie Guang again.
Xie Zhengfeng couldn't help but said: "Even if the marshal treats the general like this, we shouldn't treat the general like this."
"One must have a conscience, the general did something wrong, but if you didn't nod at the beginning..."
"Thank you Zhengfeng!" Someone interrupted him.
Xie Guang immediately made the other people's faces darken, and they all avoided taboos.
Xie Zhengfeng simply didn't want to be with them.
When he left the palace, he happened to meet Xie Meixiang passing by. The father and son met each other. Xie Meixiang specially stayed to let his subordinates go to work first, so he could delay some time to talk to his father.
"Father, I met Xie Ying in the Department of Punishment. She is now sent to hard labor to save her life, but her future is..."
Xie Zhengfeng nodded silently.
Xie Meixiang said, looking carefully at the left and right sides, and then told the truth to Xie Zhengfeng with his face close to his face: "Father, the tricks in the clan are really getting worse and worse recently."
"If I definitely couldn't see it before, I've seen it more clearly since I entered West Guard."
"Meixiang, just say it." Xie Zhengfeng said: "Father, like you, has been feeling uneasy recently, but I don't know where this uneasiness comes from."
Xie Meixiang finally said: "Father, the Xie family is not what it used to be."
The eyes of both father and son were full of regret, and then they talked about what happened in the next post. After chatting between father and son, they became happy again.Fortunately, I kept up with the marshal's pace.
Xie Guang's family moved again, this time to a place closer to the county government.The county magistrate is Xie Qing, the cousin of Xie Meixiang.
Xie Qing urged Mrs. Wang several times to go to Yijin, at least she was Lu Pinghou's mother-in-law, her status was honorable, no one dared to bully her.
Xie Qing also said that not all Xie clans hate the general.
Mrs. Wang insisted on staying with the father and daughter, and every month Xie Guang distributed the monthly money, and she donated everything except her family to the poor.
A good general's wife, from being a poor and beautiful woman to helping people wash clothes every day and night to earn money for the family.
On Xie Ying's side, the officials sent by Hai Yun have been watching her go to the waste canal to clean up the silt and move the fallen rocks.Xie Ying moved without complaint or regret.
The two officials on the shore whispered: "At least she is the daughter of the general, and she is also an expert in fighting in the army. If Mrs. Xie said no, she would not want it, and she went to death. It's really chilling."
"Originally, Master Hai wanted her to sweep the streets, so she sprinkled water and it passed. Who knew that someone in the Xie family put pressure on him to let him go to labor according to the degree of exile."
"In this world of exile, once you leave Tianjing, it's a matter of life or not. Maybe the officials who accompanied you to the exile will not come back alive."
"This group of people are too ruthless, aren't they afraid of cutting off their children and grandchildren?"
"I heard it was ordered by the Marshal..."
Xie Ying's voice came from the channel under the river: "You two officials, it's better not to talk nonsense."
The two officials immediately shut their mouths. They are small people who usually don't have access to noble daughters like Xie Ying. Now it's only fresh to hear her called the official.
The two officials dared to ask: "Hey, I heard that your father did something wrong, but it's not normal to fight dead people. Why did you punish him so severely?"
"Could it be that your father is domineering at home and has offended many people?"
There was a silence between the two of them.Since Xie Ying confessed with a guilty conscience, their sympathy for her was reduced by more than half.
"Cut, dare to be self-inflicted."
Xie Ying suddenly shouted: "That's not it!"
"My father is not such a person!!"
"He has always done his best to the clan, and he is even more loyal to... the generalissimo." In the end, even her voice gradually weakened, and the officers and soldiers still thought she was guilty, and they didn't even have the confidence to shout out.
At the same time, Xie Ji took over the position of the general in the clan, and he went to the Golden Luan Hall to receive the seal of the general and half a tiger talisman.
Xie Lanzhi did not go to the Golden Luan Hall to grant the seal in person.It was Wu Qiu who granted the seal. When Wu Qiu presented the official seal with both hands, he didn't give him half of the tiger talisman immediately.
Xie Ji received the official seal, and specifically hinted to Wu Qiu to hand over the tiger talisman to him as soon as possible.
Wu Qiu took out half a tiger talisman, and he specifically asked, "General, have you thought about this tiger talisman?"
"What do you mean?" Xie Ji snatched the tiger talisman away, thinking that he was defending Xie Guang, but Xie Guang's trouble and dismissal had nothing to do with him.He should be the most guilt-free person, and it is justifiable to succeed Xie Guang.
As Wu Qiu was his former staff member, he thought of his affection and asked again: "Do you really think about it?"
Xie Ji was immediately displeased and said, "Master Wu, what do you mean? Don't you think I'm not worthy to be this general?"
"No, I'm just asking you, do you really have a clear conscience?" Wu Qiu asked repeatedly, making Xie Ji a little impatient, he was already in a bad mood.Due to various reasons, only the position of the general can bring him a little comfort.So he came to take over with a good mood.
Wu Qiu finally sighed and said nothing.He didn't speak, but Xie Ji felt uneasy.
He is a person who understands Wu Qiu, he never speaks nonsense, let alone play charades.Now it is so obvious to remind myself.
Xie Ji took the initiative to ask him: "Master Wu, can you tell this general clearly why you are asking this general?"
Wu Qiu said: "It would be great if you can have a clear conscience."
In the end, he still didn't fully explain his intentions, Wu Qiu bowed to him, and then said that he was busy with business and went directly to the Military Aircraft Pavilion.
Xie Ji was even more disturbed by his attitude. After he left the palace, a group of people from the Xie family lined up in two lines to welcome him, and there was a lot of congratulations, all of them were happy that Xie Ji had taken the position of the general.
Received such a warm reception, Xie Ji quickly left Wu Qiu behind.There is also a wedding banquet in the evening.
Xie Lanzhi sent a gift over.Xie Shangguang, Xie Meixiang and the others did not attend. Many members of the Xie family thought that the celebration banquet was lively and lively, but in the end at least half of the people did not come, and there were more than a dozen tables vacant at the banquet.
People from Xie Ji's lineage think that these people are still thinking about Xie Guang, and they are obsessed with the past, which is simply ignorant.Xie Ji was in a bit of a bad mood at first, because his subordinates kept congratulating him and even gave him gifts that he liked, and that feeling dissipated immediately.
From now on, Xie Clan's General will be Xie Ji, even if anyone refuses to accept, he cannot be pulled from the position of General.
This night, Xie Ji was obviously the happiest person.
The reason why Xie Shangguang didn't go was because he was very entangled with Xie Guang. He was entangled with his recklessness and caused his cousin to die.To blame Xie Guang is to insult Zuo himself and his cousin.So Xie Shangguang did not go to Xie Ji's wedding banquet.
Others didn't go because they refused to accept Xieji.I feel that Xie Ji is not as good as Xie Guang. Although Xie Guang is reckless, the position of general is not something that just anyone can take.The reason why Xie Guang was able to secure the position of the general was not only for the protection of the marshal, but also to maintain a balance.
The Xie family is not as united as it appears from the outside.
Now half of the people have not been able to see this sense of crisis, which makes many people feel disappointed.Some people even thought that it would be better to go to various places to settle down with other soldiers.Even if you stay in Tianjing to enjoy it, you will probably die to enjoy it.
At the Lanzhang Palace, Xie Lanzhi was having a drink with Si Qitong, and they were enjoying the world of two under the bright moonlight and the starry sky.
The two rarely talked about the marriage of the two younger generations.
Si Bogong has urged several times this year, and he even recommended Li Ling's daughter regarding Si Qinian's marriage.
Xie Lanzhi felt that the children should be the ones to decide the marriage, and the adults should try not to get involved, after all, it was his whole life.
Si Qitong didn't intend to casually point to marriage either.The two bypassed Si Qinian and brought up Xie Shangguang.
Speaking of Xie Shangguang, this young man has been following them since two years ago. Although his work is not reliable, they are the ones who watched him grow up.
"Lanzhi wants to match him and Qiqi?"
Xie Lanzhi said: "Well, Shang Guang's child is immature, I can help him, whether he can succeed or not depends on him."
Si Qitong didn't say much, she was very grateful to Shang Guang's grandma for everything she did for Lanzhi.She will remember this kindness, but marriage is a lifelong event after all, and it still depends on the wishes of the eldest grandma.
If Beiyu and the Xie family marry, Beiluo will definitely agree without hesitation.
The two clinked glasses and leaned against each other.Under the vast starry sky, there is no longer a lonely figure.
On the next day at the Golden Luan Hall, Xie Ji proposed Xie's willingness to reorganize the army, intending to rebuild a new Xie army to make up for the [-] Xie's lost troops.
It stands to reason that Xie Ji was not at fault for fulfilling the responsibilities of a general, but he mentioned it at this juncture, and Xie Ji had to bite the bullet and ask, just because he promised to support his cronies at the wedding banquet, prepare the army, and continue to maintain Xie Ji. His position in Tianjing.
Now the marshal intends to let the Xie family integrate into the Beijing Guard Army. This is a good idea and can speed up the Xie family's integration into Tianjing.However, not all Xie families maintain an open mind, and some are stubborn and conservative.At this time, Xie Ji represented this group of people.
Apart from integrating the Jingwei Army, Si Qitong was still thinking about the newsstand, and she already had the idea of establishing an art troupe in the army.Let the Jingwei Army have a leaping difference from the traditional Jin Army.
In the past, the Jin army served more or less in order to have enough to eat. Now that there is a bumper harvest in all parts of Beijing, the army rations are already abundant.What's more, there are a bunch of disobedient bastards in the team.Especially the Xie family, it can be said that the Xie family's children are simply born to be soldiers.
Among Ma Hong's training and selection of generals, Xie's troops are the best in terms of quality and strength.
What followed was Xie's arrogance. They only obeyed the strong and refused to obey the weak.
Xie Lanzhi promised Xie Ji to prepare a new army, as long as anyone is willing, he can go to Xie Ji to report.
She has a completely devolved attitude, like everyone else.Xie Ji was very surprised.
After retiring from the court, Xie Ji immediately summoned the Xie family to start integrating the army. He thought he could raise at least [-] troops, but the total number was only [-].Five times fewer people than he thought.
Xie Ji turned from joy to sadness in an instant.After that, he was furious and felt that Mrs. Xie didn't obey him at all.
Those who supported him began to recruit troops from within and outside the clan for Xie Ji, but it was still no more than a thousand, and the Xie clan was very inactive towards joining the army as if they were falling apart.As long as they can read some characters, even if they are beaten by the teacher every day in the school, they don't want to be soldiers anymore.
Therefore, this group of people went to Fengxi Town to attract people. Most of the Xie family in Fengxi Town came from the southern region, and they were sent by Da Zongpo.Da Zongpo's attitude is their attitude.
What's more, Dazong Po once hoped to keep Xie Guang.Others also believed that soldiers should obey their vocation. Xie Guang acted recklessly and caused [-] innocent soldiers to die tragically, but what the living did was even more chilling.Since the death of [-] soldiers, the morale of the Xie family has officially collapsed. The villains in the clan are in power, jumping up and down, can't help but justify the names of the [-] victims, and blame all the faults on Xie Guang.
Compared with them shirking their responsibilities and taking the opportunity to step on them, Xie Guang never complained, but just accepted silently.Just like Xie Guang when he was a general, he also stood up countless times to stand up for the clansmen and fight for their interests, for which he was often beaten by the marshal.
When something happened to Xie Guang, everyone seemed to see only Xie Guang's crime.His past achievements seemed to be wiped out without being mentioned.Anyone with a little conscience in the Xie clan will feel chilled.
Not to mention that Xie's reorganization of the new army is composed of those people who are jumping up and down.They don't even want to be with these people.
But Xie Ji didn't know, he only thought that it was him who was dissatisfied by the others.
Xie Ji immediately ordered the young people in Fengxi Town to join the army, but if they didn't want to, they were arrested in Tianjing.But people are alive after all, if you catch a batch, you will flee, and using force to pull the young men has a great counter effect.
The lower-level Xie family in Fengxi Town immediately joined forces and wrote an appeal letter, suing Xie Ji to Xie Lanzhi.
Xie Ji never expected that he would be jointly opposed by his tribe.He felt that he was really useless as a general.
This was the first time that Xie Lanzhi received a complaint from thousands of people. She called Xie Ji into the palace and did not reprimand him.
Xie Ji's original anger dissipated after seeing Xie Lanzhi.
The two were on the school grounds, and Xie Lanzhi took her silver bow and shot an arrow: "Are you wronged?"
"Marshal." Xie Ji lowered his head, his eyes were full of confusion and confusion: "Is it true that the last general is not as good as Xie Guang at all?"
Xie Lanzhi put down her silver bow and said to him: "You are better than Xie Guang."
"Then why do everyone have opinions on me and don't obey me, isn't it because they are still thinking about Xie Guang!" Xie Ji was very unwilling, this was completely different from the general he imagined.
He should be more powerful than Xie Guang, and more sought after by his tribe.
He kept repeating: "Why, why is this happening?"
Xie Lanzhi saw that although he had resentment, at least she knew to find the reason from herself, instead of blindly relying on Xie Guang.
Facing the generals under him, he still followed the generals he was born to die.Her mood was different after all.
There is a junior look forward to Xie Shangguang, and there is an affirmation of the general's strength.
Each of them is excellent.Even in the next 20 years, there will be no generals like Xie Ji, Xie Guang and Xie Xia in the Xie family.
Even Xie Ying, one of the young generals with the most potential, has been eliminated from the Xie family.
Most of the current Xie family have started to study literature, and no one wants to fight and kill like before, and live a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife.
"Xie Ji." She said: "Have you ever thought that maybe it has nothing to do with you. It's not you at all who they object to."
Xie Ji looked up quickly, he was very puzzled and asked: "Isn't it?"
"You don't know the people below." Xie Lanzhi said: "When Xie Guang was a general, he didn't understand what the people below thought, but do you know why he can secure the position of general?"
"Just because the commander-in-chief is protecting him, in order to maintain the balance between the upper and lower levels?"
"Don't you mean that?" Xie Ji beeped softly, not daring to ask loudly.
Xie Lanzhi said: "Yes, but not all of them."
"You must have heard that soldiers follow generals, and strong generals have no weak soldiers." As she spoke, she began to draw her silver bow and hit the target with an arrow.There are two arrows nailed to the red heart on the target board.
Xie Ji followed the silver bow and looked at the target, he said: "Marshal, please speak directly."
Xie Lanzhi told him: "Five years ago, no, the me of seven years ago, and the me now, have always had only one attitude towards Xie Guang."
"That's Xie Guang representing the demands of the Xie clan."
"I beat Xie Guang. Everyone knew that I was not satisfied with their demands, so they naturally dismissed the idea."
That's the case, Xie Ji often looked down on Xie Guang because he took the initiative to take the blame and acted as the marshal's sandbag.At that time, he only thought that Xie Guang was stupid, so stupid that he would not use his brain to tell the Marshal the needs of the people in other ways.
Now it's his turn to become a general. He used to despise Xie Guang's method of being a sandbag, but he has to admit that it is really effective.
But at this moment, Xie Ji didn't think the marshal was teaching him, telling him what to do?
Xie Ji was silent, and he said again: "Marshal, in your heart, I really don't have the strength to secure the position of general?"
Xie Lanzhi said: "I said you are better than Xie Guang, you know how to be flexible."
"Even if you can't do it now, you will soon find a way to satisfy those demands of the tribe."
Xie Ji was silent again.
This time he began to reflect.His ability to become a general must be due to mutual support and mutual use with his clan, and they are all based on interests first.It's not the so-called deep family affection.Playing the emotional card is of no use to Xie Shi.
Now there are many people playing the emotional card because of Xie Guang. Is it because of gratitude?No, the marshal has already hinted at the obvious demands of the clansmen.And clan satisfaction has always been a bottomless pit.Even if it is solved today, there will be different needs tomorrow.What can he do then?
The human heart is fleshy. Even the cruel and cold-blooded Xie family will have a trace of warmth because of the blood of the tribe. Everyone puts the collective interests first. Since Xie Guang became a general, he has acted as a bridge between the tribe and the marshal. It is said that there is hard work without credit.They are not the kind of ungrateful people, even if what Xie Guang did for them, the results are not ideal, but Xie will not forget the favor he owes.
No matter how much the clansmen hated Xie Guang, they only stopped at pulling him down from the throne of the general.
Instead of... bullying Xie Guang.They are all from the Xie family, so everyone understands each other's self-esteem within the clan.However, Xie Guang's name was removed from the genealogy, and in the end even the identity of the Xie clan was not guaranteed.
In the end, Xie Guang's family had to be expelled to save their lives.If it weren't for the wishes of most of the Xie family, the marshal would not easily revolutionize Xie Guang.
Is their Xie family the kind of person who will take revenge on those with small stomachs?Yes, the group of people who recommended him.In order to achieve their goals, those people didn't care who took the position of general.
Those who care are the ones who really care about Mrs. Xie.Xie's heart of admiring martial arts should not be lost, let alone his heart of knowing how to repay kindness.
And what unites the Xie Clan's army has never been the position of the general, but the hearts of the people.
At this moment, Xie Ji's confusion suddenly cleared up.
He took a step forward, bent towards Xie Lanzhi and clasped his fists: "Marshal, can I borrow your silver bow?"
"Take it." Xie Lanzhi handed him the silver bow.
Xie Ji immediately fired three arrows at once, all of them hit the target, and the target soldiers reported three hits in succession.
In the end, Xie Ji returned the silver bow to her hand, and he bowed deeply again: "Marshal, I will finally understand your painstaking efforts."
Xie Lanzhi gave him the silver bow.Nothing was said.Xie Ji finally resigned, and he left Lanzhang Palace.
At the same time, Yelu Qiqi happened to change into Xie Jun's clothes and secretly followed Xie Ji out of the palace.
Afterwards it was discovered that it was too late.
Si Qitong learned that Qiqi had sneaked out restlessly, and when he returned to the palace, he saw a letter from Beiyu on the desk, which was sent by Beiluo to inform Qiqi and Mr. Anshan of their marriage.
"No wonder she wants to leave the palace."
She immediately sent someone out to secretly protect Qiqi.
Yelu Qiqi was also very restless. After going out, she immediately left the team and went to the clothing store to change into a Confucian uniform to pretend to be a student. She also went to the bookstore to buy a map of the Nanyang Islands after leaving Tianjing.
In this era, the four countries of Nanyang once had trade with Jin, which lasted for 200 years. Unfortunately, it was interrupted one after another, and the trade environment was unstable. Until 20 years ago, there was no trade.
Moreover, the four countries in Nanyang were all affiliated countries of the Jin State and were part of the tributary system.
The spies sent out by Si Qitong were tracking Yelu Qiqi to the west port, and were about to stop her from boarding the ship, but the Xie merchant ship capsized due to overload, but luckily it was on the shore, and everyone was just a false alarm.But Yelu Qiqi was unlucky today, she landed late, and was accidentally washed downstream by the rapids.
The spy jumped into the water immediately, but it was too late.
The two officials downriver were deserting, drinking wine and eating roast chicken, calling Xie Ying to come ashore from time to time: "Hey, former Xiaoqianhu, the water is too urgent, you should come up."
Xie Ying said, "I'll go up after I fix this gap."
"I said what are you working so hard for? Anyway, you have to work hard for three years. No matter how hard you try, you can't advance." The officials were very puzzled.
They didn't dare to leave. After all, they were the daughters of the Xie family. They had a promising future. Who knew if they would have a chance to stand up in the future?Maybe Xie Ying will be recruited by His Highness.That's why the officials didn't dare to be rude to Xie Ying because of this.
What's more, the two of them couldn't beat her, let alone bully her.
"Come up quickly." The other officer couldn't stand it anymore, got up and wanted to get off the bank, and arrested him: "Are you trying to escape?"
The official said on purpose: "Swim out of the water."
As soon as the words came out, the official servant who was squatting drinking suddenly burst into laughter: "Old Wu, just leave her alone, the river is so fast now, who would be stupid enough to swim now."
"And she looks like a landlubber."
The two started teasing Xie Ying again, and Xie Ying was used to it.Just when she looked up, there was a person in the middle of the river splashing water continuously, swimming smoothly, she didn't pay much attention.
But when the two officials saw it, they immediately screamed: "Look, did someone fall into the river?"
"No way, I look like I'm playing in the water."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Now that the rapids can even rush down a cow, who would be stupid enough to play in the middle of the river?"
As the two chattered, Xie Ying turned her head again and found that a young and petite son was washed down in the middle of the river. Because of the loss of strength, she couldn't even do the posture of lying on her back.
Xie Ying jumped into the river without hesitation, and swam to the young master's side with her strength, trying to pull him back, but the current became more and more urgent, and the two of them were rushed ten meters away.
The officers and soldiers on the shore were so frightened that their scalps went numb: "Help, help!"
"Someone was washed down!!"
Two officers and soldiers in uniform yelled, and the migrant workers who were resting nearby got up one after another. They stood on the bank and saw two little girls being washed down by the river. Everyone immediately took action and connected the bamboo poles on the bank. I improvised a bamboo raft and let the water wash down.
Seeing this, Xie Ying immediately leaned on the bamboo raft. Seeing that the bamboo raft was getting tighter and tighter against her, she hugged the little boy in her arms and held his chest with her right hand. .
The little girl in her arms groaned, "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooth pain." ."
Xie Ying: "..."
is a girl.
She put the little girl on the bamboo raft and pushed it to the shore desperately. Fortunately, with the help of migrant workers, she stopped the bamboo raft, but Xie Ying was washed away again by the rapids.
Qiqi was lying on the bamboo raft, she reached out to her savior for the first time, this time she watched the strong woman weakly being washed away by the water for a further distance.
The other party also waved at her with a comforting smile: "It's good that the girl is fine, don't be afraid, I will be fine."
The softest part of Qiqi's heart was suddenly touched by this person, and her chest throbbed hotly.It's a feeling I've never felt before.
Distressed.
Afterwards, when the two officials found Xie Ying, their first reaction was to cry to death.
That is to keep one's own head.
After Xie Ying came ashore, she was drenched and even sneezed. The two officials didn't dare to let her go into the water to work again.Let her go back quickly.
Xie Ying didn't want to cause trouble for others, and she was afraid that her mother would worry, so she found a piece of woods and boiled water in an earthen pot she picked up to wash it. Fortunately, she was in good health and did not catch the cold.
After tidying up, she used the remaining money to buy a set of coarse clothes to put on, and then stepped on them, waiting for the sun to set before returning home.
When I came home, I just ran into my father, Xie Guang.
Xie Guang came back tired. He glanced at Xie Ying. The father and daughter nodded secretly. They went home tacitly, and they were all happy and shouted loudly: "Ma'am. I'm back for my husband!"
"Mom, I'm back."
Mrs. Wang came out of the house in a hurry, looked at the two of them, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief seeing that their father and daughter were safe and sound: "Okay, wash your hands and eat."
The father and daughter went into the house, took off their boots, poured water and washed their hands, and then went to the dinner table to eat.
The family of three chattered, and Mrs. Wang suddenly brought up the fact that someone was washed away during the day: "I heard that Xie's boat capsized again, and a little girl was accidentally washed away by the water. She was still a nobleman, and then a child went to Rescue her, but I was washed away instead."
"I think there are still a lot of good people these days. I hope that child is okay."
When Xie Ying heard this, she held a chipped clay bowl and paused, but quickly covered it up.
She said: "Mom, I was watching from the shore. She was fine and was rescued by a group of kind-hearted migrant workers."
"That's it, those people are really kind-hearted." Wang said happily immediately: "As long as our family is safe, I can rest assured."
The family of three ate rough tea and light food, and they didn't feel bitter at all.
Lanzhang palace palace.
After the imperial physician diagnosed Yelu Qiqi, he prescribed a few medicines and left.
Xie's mother-in-law boiled the medicine and brought it to the bedside, serving Qiqi to drink the medicine.
After Yelu Qiqi finished drinking the medicine, she lay on the bed. Although her head was swollen and her eyes were dizzy, the appearance of that woman kept appearing in her mind.
His brows and eyes are heroic and gentle, his skin is pale copper, but his facial features are delicate, which makes her heart thump every time she thinks of her.
Xie Lanzhi had just finished handling military affairs when she heard that Yelu Qiqi almost had an accident when she ran out. She hurried back and met Si Qitong at the same time.
There was helplessness in the eyes of both of them.They didn't tell anyone about this matter, they all kept it a secret, so as not to make a bigger mess.
The two came to visit, but Yelu Qiqi was still in a daze.
Xie Lanzhi thought that the child was scared out of his wits.She came to comfort her, but Yelu Qiqi couldn't look away after seeing her, and kept looking for the familiar figure on her body.
She looks a bit like Marshal.
Seeing her staring at him with burning eyes, Xie Lanzhi thought she was crazy?
Si Qitong personally took her pulse and told her, "It's just that Feng Han just took the medicine, so he should be fine."
"That's good, otherwise how should I explain to her brother." Xie Lanzhi changed the towel for Qiqi and covered her forehead again.
Yelu Qiqi gently grabbed her cuff, seemed to look at her, but also didn't seem to: "Don't go."
Xie Lanzhi only thought that she was ill and felt insecure: "Heal your illness obediently, don't run around anymore."
"There is also the matter of your father Khan's marriage. As long as you disagree, your brother and I will escort you. You don't have to worry."
Yelu Qiqi slowly closed her eyes, and then let go.
Si Qitong was beside her, staring at Qiqi thoughtfully, and then remembered the spy's report.
She couldn't help but sigh: "Lanzhi, isn't the child a bit precocious now?"
Xie Lanzhi looked slightly startled, then looked her up and down, and there was an emotion similar to yours in his eyes.
"I'm an adult." Si Qitong took her hand, and the two walked out of the palace.
He remembered that Xie Lanzhi had been in the barracks all day today, and would run to the Punishment Division from time to time.She guessed that Lanzhi should do something in secret.
She didn't point it out, but said: "Lanzhi, your painstaking efforts will be hard for people to understand in the future."
"It seems that the Jingwei army is profiting from the Jin army of the palace, but in fact, it is not driving the Xie family, and bringing the Xie family who is going downhill back to the right path."
"The loss of Xie Guang is a great blow to the Xie clan. However, some people still have the mentality of cutting their tails to survive, and they have been immersed in the glory of the past and stopped moving forward."
"Not only did they not follow, but they tried to obstruct Xie's future. This is an unforgivable thing."
Xie Lanzhi stared at her deeply: "Little Phoenix can also see that both Shang Guang and Xie Ying are the future of the Xie family."
"The Xie family ruined the future with their own hands. Even the future of the lower class." Xie Lanzhi thought of the ten people involved in the crime, and two of them were children.
If the weak sprouts are watered with venom by the people behind the case, what will be taught will not be pillars, but a den of thieves.
"The case of Xie Ying's anti-killing is not that simple." Xie Lanzhi said: "There has been someone secretly behind this case. I will not deal with the seven people, and the people behind them will not let them live."
"Including those two children." So she went to the Department of Punishment today.
Zhang Ju of the Punishment Department found the two children who committed the crime, but they were just corpses.The two bruises on his neck were strangled to death in his sleep.
The other five people were all sent out to perform missions by some members of the Xie family, and the list was marked as dead the next day, and some pensions were hastily distributed to the family members to settle the matter.
Some members of the Xie family are Xie Ji's younger brother, Xie Lin.
In Xie Ji's mansion, since Xie Ji got the answer from Xie Lanzhi, he has been secretly observing the group of people in the clan who support him.
Let people secretly watch what they did, especially his brother Xie Lin.It's just that nothing unusual was found, and he thought he was overthinking until the Department of Punishment quietly gave him information.
Only then did he know that after the criminals were reported, they were sent to various places to die.It is said that he was killed in action, but he was actually assassinated by himself.
The Xie clan is most taboo to engage in internal assassination. Even if the marshal wants to kill his father and relatives, it is a blatant massacre, not an assassination.
The assassination undoubtedly touched Xie's bottom line.
But the people he sent out told him that nothing happened.
Xie Ji smiled, but he didn't smile, he covered his head and never thought that not only his younger brother lied to him, but even his people in Tianjing were bribed by his younger brother.Treat him positively and negatively.
He is really a useless general.
Thinking of his younger brother operating secretly, Xie Ji just didn't want him to get what he wanted.The next day, he left Tianjing alone, leaving Wu Qiu a letter of resignation before leaving.Then go for a while, and continue to be his general of the Red River Shangdu.At least there will be no intrigue there, at least there will be brothers who really obey and follow him.
Instead of being a puppet in Tianjing.
Xie Ji finally understood that it is not easy to be a general.Even if you become a general, you can't want to seize power.
Because standing on top of the general is the marshal.
All supreme power belongs only to the Marshal.
What is the general?The general of the Xie Clan is a puppet that communicates between the tribe and the marshal.
If you want to be superior to the Marshal, he is the number one to die!
He finally understood.Why did everyone never think about taking Metabolism, but he thought about it?
Because of the Marshal.
The marshal has been sending out a signal from beginning to end, she is optimistic about the right general Xie Ji.Therefore, under her subtle influence, the clansmen would naturally make their choices towards him.
After figuring everything out, and figuring out what a conspiracy is, Xie Ji was surprised.
