Chaos in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 89
Without the title of the imperial court, Guan Ziyang came from an unknown teacher, so Xie An took Guan Ziyang to the palace to meet the saint, and asked him for a title.

Chu Suanzi was admiring the flowers in the imperial garden, and when he heard that his little uncle Xie An was begging to see him, he ordered the eunuch to bring him to the imperial garden to meet him.

Guan Ziyang followed Xie An around the palace. The Xianyang Palace was destroyed during the Su Jun Rebellion. After the reconstruction, it looked much dilapidated, but it was still big enough.

Before the person arrived, I heard someone singing a poem in the garden: "Beauties under the flowers are ashamed, and flowers are ashamed to beauties. Where are the flowers most prosperous, and the flowers bloom to reveal the Yang Palace."

"This is Shi Kun's voice." Guan Ziyang wondered secretly.

Sure enough, after bypassing a large camellia grove, he saw Chu Suanzi and a tall man with blond hair enjoying the flowers by the pavilion, whoever it was if it wasn't Shi Kun.

"Shi Kun, the servant of the Huangmen, is really a guard and steals himself, and the Empress Dowager, a widow of [-] years old, is probably half-pushed and half-hearted..." Guan Ziyang thought.

"The 352 years are about to pass in less than two months. Why hasn't anything happened to Shi Kun? Could it be that his history has been changed by me? I guess I didn't affect him!"

Seeing that Xie An and Guan Ziyang had arrived, Chu Suanzi was full of smiles: "Look, little uncle, the camellia that was still budding yesterday is more than half in full bloom today, but is it to cheer for my Northern Expeditioner Lang?"

Chu Suanzi looked at Xie An with extremely hot eyes, and his words lacked the majesty above the court at all, and his voice was soft and weak, which seemed to be a bit shy.

Chu Suanzi's heart was shaken: "Xie Anshi, who is famous all over the world, looks more handsome and handsome than Shi Lang today!"

Xie An came here because of Guan Ziyang's request to kill Xiao Jingwen, so naturally he had no intention of admiring the flowers with Chu Suanzi, and the matter of Chu Suanzi and Shi Kun was widely circulated in Jiankang, which would damage her reputation.

"Empress Dowager, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers. Since you have become empress, you should not mention this title of little uncle. Now that you are the regent empress dowager, you must pay more attention to your appearance and behavior." Xie An said, looking at Shi Kun.

Chu Suanzi has listened to the government behind the curtain for many years, so he is naturally exquisite and clear. Xie An's words still carry a lot of weight. Even if he is in power in the court, he would not dare to underestimate Xie An.

"What An Shigong said is right. The Ai family respects the teachings. I don't know why An Shigong brought the governor of the customs to ask for an interview today."

Xie An was not afraid of offending Shi Kun, so he said, "This matter is confidential, please ask the queen mother to screen out the idlers."

Although Chu Suanzi had some friendship with Shi Kun, she always distinguished the important affairs of the court very clearly, so she said calmly: "Shi Shilang, let's go down first."

Shi Kun lowered his head and retreated disheartenedly, with a bit of cruelty in his eyes.

Xie An reported Guan Ziyang's request to send troops to Zitong County to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager was moved when she heard that he had brought his own soldiers and horses, as well as food and grass.

"Governor Guan took the initiative to share the concerns of the imperial court. The Ai family was very moved. Now that the Northern Expedition army is ready, Huan Wen doesn't care about Shu, and the Ai family is indeed worried about Xiao Jingwen's rebellion for a long time."

The Empress Dowager gave Guan Ziyang a decree, and Zhou Fu, governor of Yizhou, fully assisted Guan Ziyang to pacify Xiao Jingwen.

"If the governor of Guan Dudu returns from victory, he will immediately leave Xuzhou to rebuild the Beifu Army! In the future, Dudu Guan will be used again to regain the Central Plains!"

Obtained by the Empress Dowager, Guan Ziyang returned to Zijin Bieyuan, assembled his troops and horses, and set to pledge his oath tomorrow.

The night before the swearing-in, Guan Ziyang tossed and turned in bed excitedly, unable to fall asleep. He was finally going to formally lead the army to fight. After years of painstaking preparation, he finally took the first step.

Outside the paper window, the moon and stars were sparse, so Guan Ziyang stood up to admire the moon.

Resurrection life, an ordinary college student of history, turned into a common family idiot, and now a false post as a governor, the sweat he has put in and the hardships he has experienced, probably only he can understand.

"Tomorrow, are you leaving?"

Xie Daoyun came slowly from the corridor.

"Didn't you practice with Xie Xuan in the old house? Why did you come to another courtyard?"

"Hey, I came here specially to see some people off, and he didn't appreciate it..."

"I don't appreciate it. Mr. An Shi asked me to hide it from you. With Xie Xuan's temperament, he will definitely go with me."

"Uncle won't let brother go with you, did you say he won't let me go with you?"

Guan Ziyang was surprised: "You really thought it through? How did you tell your family?"

"Well, I've thought about it, since I don't know how to speak, then I won't say it, cut it first and then play it!"

"How about that!"

Xie Daoyun was suddenly sullen: "Why not, what you said doesn't count?"

Guan Ziyang said helplessly: "I said I would help you to make achievements, but that was only with the permission of your family members. If you act like this behind their backs, I don't want to be sacked by your father and uncle!"

Xie Daoyun's pretty face turned happy, and her bright eyes blinked: "If you don't tell me, I won't tell you, no one will know!"

"It's been three to five months since I went to Shuzhong, how could I come back? You disappeared for so long, it will be strange if your family is not in a hurry!"

Xie Daoyun said again: "You don't need to worry about these things, I will arrange them myself."

Guan Ziyang became even more anxious: "As a daughter, if you go out with me, it will be inconvenient if you don't show your true colors to others, and you are not even worthy of being a miscellaneous general!"

"I don't care about any generals, just let me be your personal soldier, and I won't show my flaws then!"

Seeing that Xie Daoyun had arranged everything, it was obvious that he had made up his mind and came prepared. I did promise to help him a few days ago, but I didn't expect that Xie Daoyun actually thought of a way to hide his family behind his back.

Guan Ziyang had a faint feeling that he seemed to have a suspicion of abducting someone's daughter. He already owed the Xie family a lot. If he abducted his daughter again, how could he afford it in the future?

Guan Ziyang wanted to say more, but Xie Daoyun interrupted: "Manly man, don't be a mother-in-law, I will help you secretly, so you can have fun!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, with Guan Ziyang on his back and said: "Tomorrow the oath will be over, and the army will move out. I will wait for you outside Jiankang City."

Guan Ziyang said in his heart that his trip was purely to improve his reputation, otherwise Xie Yi and Xie An would help, or even Xie Xuan, the success rate would be greatly improved.

But if this is the case, most of the prestige that will destroy Xiao Jingwen will fall on the Xie family, so Xie An suggested that I lead the troops alone.

But Xie Daoyun was different, she was just pretending to be a soldier, she didn't put the name of Xie's family on it, and she had already passed the secluded realm of the first rank, and if she was with her, I was [-]% sure, and it became [-]% in an instant!

Xie Daoyun, as a lady of the gentry family, lived in seclusion most of the time, and not many people in the Xie family had seen her. Even if one or two knew Xie Daoyun, they would never have imagined that their own lady would disguise herself as a man and sneak into the army.

"Okay, even if Xie Yi or Xie An really find out by then, I'll put all the responsibility on you. If you insist on following me, I won't suffer."

Guan Ziyang, who had figured it out, went to bed comfortably and fell asleep with a smile.

"With the help of a master like Xie Daoyun, I can sleep with peace of mind..."
