Chapter 051 Insulting the State Envoy

Although it is noisy every day, it doesn't make me forget it. When you are on high, you are not only invincible, but also dangerous to fall and die. Sure enough, a few days later, I heard some rumors against me.

Among the people around Huan Xuan who criticized me, there were many who gave valuables and those who were brothers with me. They told Huan Xuan that I was extraordinary and would not live under people for a long time. Although it does not say that I am rebellious, its meaning is similar to rebellion. It is not impossible for Huan Xuan to kill the generals of Beifu and get rid of me under the mouth of the public.

Since then, when I met the Huan Xuan brothers, my words and manners became more careful.

During this period, Wang Mi also repeatedly reminded me directly or indirectly not to get too close to Huan's confidants such as Yin Zhongwen and Bian Fanzhi. They are different from the Huan brothers. Huan brothers are Huan Xuan's siblings, and Yin, Bian and others are just confidants. No matter how trusted I am, I am just a confidant. Such trust can not threaten the status of the Huan brothers, but the status of Yin, Bian and others, especially Bian Fanzhi, who is the mastermind of Huan Xuan.

When Wang Mi analyzed the delicate relationship between the people in the Huan family camp to me, he also repeatedly advised me to interact with those old ministers and important ministers to consolidate myself. Otherwise, once Huan Xuan's attitude towards me changes, I will be weak only by Wang Mi.

I am very grateful for Wang Mi's good warnings. However, it has always been difficult to judge Wang Mi's own position.

After a few days of being so careful, I learned Huan Xuan's opinion on others slandering me.

Huan Xuan thought that the reason why those people slandered me was groundless. Moreover, when Fang is employing people, although the country lacks talents, it is even more lacking handsome talents. In the north of Jingkou, only an old general like me can sit in the town. In the future, once the Northern Expedition, I also urgently need to take on a big responsibility.

Although Bian Fanzhi and others criticized me a lot, another seeker, Yin Zhongwen, urged Huan Xuan to pull me in so that I could take advantage of it. This was Huan Xuan's original intention, so he ignored Bian Fanzhi's words.

When Bian Fanzhi and others saw that the persuasion of Huan Xuan was ineffective, they went to lobby Huan Xiu and Huan Qian. The Huan brothers understood Huan Xuan's intention, and their lobby for Bian Fanzhi was just polite and perfunctory. Bian Fanzhi can't do anything about this.

At first, I thought I entered Beijing as Huan Xiu's escort, but now I finally know that Huan Xuan deliberately let me enter Beijing. Huan Xuan's intention for Huan Xiu's entry into Beijing is completely different from mine. I am not Huan Xiu's escort.

Huan Xuan transferred me to Beijing. First, he wanted to observe my loyalty, and second, he wanted to find more opportunities to deliberately win me over. Huan Xuan himself also knew that Jingzhou was strong, but he was still not the enemy of the north. Whether you can defeat the enemy depends on the general, not the soldiers. Throughout the country, there are not many tough players like me. Moreover, after the death of Liu Laozhi, Sun Wuzhong and others, I am the first to be able to suppress the Beifu soldiers in Beijing. In the future Northern Expedition, I must be the main general.

Of course, Huan Xiu's entry into Beijing is completely different from my entry into Beijing. Huan Xuan originally expected that he could replace Huan Wei to assist the government.

At the beginning, Huan Xuan relied on only Huan Wei. After Huan Wei's death, he wanted to find a brother to replace Huan Wei in Jingkou, so he chose Huan Xiu.

Although Huan Xiu has no ability to govern the army, he is very good at politics because of his long history of officialdom. But precisely because Huan Xiu was good at politics, Huan Xuan's intention to assist Jiankang was opposed by Yin Zhongwen and Bian Fanzhi. Huan Xuan also remembered that when he was in Jingzhou, Huan Xiu had been a subordinate of Sima Daozi and Sima Wuxian in the court. It is difficult to determine whether he can do things on his own as well as Huan Wei.

Yin Zhongwen also advised him to think twice with ancient examples: since ancient times, most of the clans have not been Zhou Gong, but usurpers of the throne. Huan Xiu, Huan Qian, Huan Hong and other clans are already powerful, and if they add great power, they may directly threaten the foundation of the Huan family a hundred years later.

Huan Xuan also deeply agreed with Yin Zhongwen: when he was alive, no one dared to shake his position. Once you pass away, your older uncles or older brothers are bound to be a great threat to their heirs. Therefore, Huan Xuan adopted Yin Zhongwen's suggestion and appointed the Huan clan as a feudal official, leaving only talented and junior people in the court.

Therefore, although Huan Xuan rushed to Beijing after solving the chaos of Jiankang. However, when Huan Xiu entered Beijing, he was only granted such a false position as Prince Shaobao and did not let him participate in major dynasties. In order to appease Huan Xiu, Huan Xuan also appointed his cousin Huan Xiu's brother Huan Hong as the general and Qingzhou assassin, and still guarded in Guangling.

Huan Xuan's uncertainty is related to his views on Huan Xiu. Coupled with several recent events, Huan Xuan is very dissatisfied with Huan Xiu. It made him feel that Huan Xiu was still competent as a feudal official, but it was far worse than Yin Zhongwen and Wang Mi for how to govern the country.

Although one of them seems inconspicuous, it involves the diplomacy of the two countries, so it has a greater impact.

Knowing that Huan Xuan ascended the throne as emperor, the northern states except Qin sent envoys to congratulate him.

On this day, the messenger of the State of Wei came to the court. Huan Xuan recently got several beautiful women from the Western Regions, who were more tired than before and caught some cold, so after hurriedly meeting the messenger in the court, he ordered Huan Xiu to entertain the messenger on his behalf.

Although Huan Xiu has also been an official in the court for many years, he is not very much about receiving messengers, so he invited the minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies to meet him.

Originally, everything would be fine as usual, but he didn't expect that Huan Xiu had a dispute with the ambassador of Wei about the title in the book of the State of Wei.

When Tuobajiu, the king of Wei, ascended the throne a few years ago, he was not recognized by the Great Jin Kingdom and its neighbors, so he has always been called a king. However, in the national book given to Huan Xuan this time, he actually called himself "I" and was called a brother with Huan Xuan in the official national book.

Huan Xuan thought that he was a big country of the heavenly dynasty. Of course, he was not happy with the lord of this small state and his brother, and instructed Huan Xiu to deal with it at his discretion.

Huan Xiu raised questions during the banquet for the envoys of the State of Wei without consultation from various ministries of Shangshu. Ambassador Wei was puzzled by Huan Xiu's actions, but in view of the national events, he argued at the banquet.

Huan Xiu drank a lot of wine, and was not very clear-headed, regardless of whether he was decent or not. He quarreled with the Ambassador of Wei on the spot. As a result, he spilled wine on the face of Ambassador Wei in anger.

This is no longer a trivial matter in personal relations, and it is even more a major event that humiliates the State of Wei. Ambassador Wei left the table angrily. The next day, he hung the national letter on the beam in the room of the post hall and left without saying goodbye.

Huan Xuan knew that this matter was disturbed by Huan Xiu and could not end the scene, so he had to ask Liu Mai to accompany Situ Wang Mi to invite the Ambassador of the State of Wei, which was very relieved.
