As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three of them turned dark.
The first black one was Xi Chao, when Cai Xuancheng met him for the first time, his face turned red.
The second black one was Fu Jian, he didn't expect Huan Wen's first words to his younger brother to be so frivolous.
The third black one is Xuancheng, he doesn't care much, but it's a bit embarrassing to say that he looks good in front of everyone.
Seeing the embarrassment in the atmosphere, Xie An quickly relieved, "Let's go, let's go, chat while walking, chat while walking."
Several people looked at each other and laughed loudly.
"It was my slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, brother Gongsun, don't mind."
"I don't mind." Xuan Cheng said coldly, he was so upset that he was molested by Huan Wen for the first time.
Walking along the path in the garden, Fu Jian asked Huan Wen, "Does the Prime Minister still want to go north now?"
Huan Wen and Xie An looked at each other, "Brother Wen Zi is not simple, he just wanted to know my thoughts. An Shi, tell me, what are my thoughts now?"
Xie An avoided it, "Brother Yuanzi, you know that I have different political views from you."
Xi Chao spoke up, "Different routes lead to the same goal. Political opinions are different, but they are always for the court. Why should An Shi be modest."
"That's right, An Shi, I don't want you to pick up my team. Who doesn't know that your Xie family is full of talents now. Among other things, your nephews are all heroes of the world. The younger generation If that's the case, seniors like you can't back down."
It is rare for Huan Xie and Huan Xie to turn a simple question of Fu Jian into a family dispute.
Fu Jian coughed, and Huan Wen immediately smiled and said, "Brother Wenzi, you, just guard your Wuchang and live in peace and security. The Holy Majesty has the final say on matters concerning the court. The Northern Expedition is also the words of the Holy Majesty." , It doesn’t count if I say it.” He waved his hand and shook his head lightly, “I’m old, I’m not the same as I was back then.”
"Prime Minister made three Northern Expeditions every year, which really gave the Holy One a face. The world said that the Sima family lived in peace. If it hadn't been for the support of the Huan family, the powerful enemies in the north would have annexed Jiankang long ago."
"Haha, Brother Wenzi thinks so?"
Fu resolutely said, "The prime minister's merits are unprecedented. The Holy Majesty should listen to you and should not withdraw the troops of the Northern Expedition."
"Brother Wen Zi thought it was the Holy Majesty who withdrew the troops from the Northern Expedition?"
"Is not it?"
Huan Wen pondered for a while, as if thinking of something, said, "I ordered the withdrawal back. The Northern Expedition failed, and the time has passed. I'm afraid it will be difficult to go north again."
Fu Jian wondered, "Why does the Prime Minister think that the time has passed? Now that the north is not unified, it is a good time for the Prime Minister to lead the Northern Expedition."
"The north looks chaotic, but it is actually unified." Huan Wen sighed slightly.
Xuancheng interjected, "There are four kingdoms in the north, how can they be united?"
Xie An looked forward, "It will be a matter of time before the Fu clan unifies the Northern Kingdom. How can there be any other four kingdoms? Yan Kingdom has long since perished, Qiuchi, Liang Kingdom, and Dai Kingdom are as insignificant as ants. The North has entered a period of unification. The Northern Expedition is not easy. The prime minister has thought deeply about it, and I am ashamed of myself."
Xuancheng thought about it, although Xie An and Huan Wen had disputes in the court, they were all for the Sima family, and the general policy was always the same. Fu Jian wanted to ask Huan Wen for something, but it seemed futile.
"I don't think so." Xuancheng shook his head intentionally or unintentionally, "Prime Minister and Brother An Shi think about the court, but the court doesn't think about you. Can it be withdrawn there? Wuchang or Wuchang? The current strength of the imperial court is not comparable to the strength of Wang Dun back then. But in fact, the strength of the Fu family has not yet reached prosperity, and the prime minister can rest assured to go north. Not to mention, the three kingdoms of Tuoba, Qiuchi, and Zhang Tianxi check and balance the Fu family, and the prime minister is nothing more than worried."
"Oh, what brother Gongsun said makes sense." It was Xi Chao who was at the side who spoke out.
Huan Wen glanced at him, and Xi Chao lowered his head slightly.
Xie An laughed, "It makes sense, it makes sense, brother Li's words make sense."
"An Shi really thinks so?" Huan Wen frowned suspiciously.
Fu Jian looked left and right at these two, and stood with arms folded, as if waiting.
"Haha, it's not just a matter of Yuan Zixiong's words, why bother to talk to me." After a while, Xie An replied with a burst of laughter.
