Chapter 344 Dedicated to Xie An
Cao Rui stood at the gate of Xie Mansion, this was his first visit to Xie Mansion.On weekdays, Cao Tong was personally responsible for the movements between the Princess Mansion and Xie Mansion, and Cao Rui rarely participated.

The concierge brought Cao Rui to the courtyard where Xie An lived. Xie An's reputation in the court is now in full swing, but he still lives with his parents and brothers.

Xie's mansion is a famous family, and the courtyard is also quite wealthy. It is elegant but not out of the ordinary, elegant and quiet but not dull, it really deserves the reputation of Xie's family.

When Cao Rui came to Xie An's study, Xie An was writing something, when he saw Cao Rui coming, he hurriedly got up to greet him.

Although they had already met in court, this was the first time they had met in private.Cao Rui didn't like Xie An at first, thinking he was like Huan Wen.

However, Jing Ran was so sure that Xie An was the key to saving Jin, after Cao Ruisi thought about it carefully, he gradually misunderstood some truths.

At first glance, it seems that Xie An was promoted to the court by Huan Wen, but most of the things he did had nothing to do with Huan Wen, and most of the time his opinions were even at odds with Huan Wen.

Xie An said to Cao Rui: "I've heard that Mr. Cao is famous for a long time, but it's a pity that you don't want to participate in the court disputes and live in the secretary's prison. You are really overqualified."

Cao Rui shook his head ashamedly and said: "Rui is short-sighted and can't bear the great responsibility, but he doesn't think about danger when he lives in peace. It really doesn't deserve the name."

Xie An smiled tolerantly and said, "You must have known me in the first place. I only entered the court at the age of 40 and became an official. For many years, I have played among the mountains and rivers, ignoring the people and the country."

Cao Rui asked, "What made you change your original intention?"

Xie An said: "Originally I entered the court as an official, but because my younger brother made a big mistake during the Northern Expedition to Qianyan, which led to defeat, I was forced to become an official in order to restore the family's reputation."

Xie An looked outside the door and said, "It's only when I'm a real official that I realize that there is no one in the court, and His Majesty has become a puppet. The corruption is getting worse and worse. If you don't get close, you will never understand it. You think it is a prosperous and peaceful world."

Cao Rui nodded, and said with deep emotion: "Although I have been an official in the court, it is still an idle job. I see the ministers in the court fighting for power, and I don't want to participate in it. But after I went to the Qin State , only to realize that we are in dire straits now, and we can no longer pretend to be peaceful."

Xie An said: "Qin, the country of tigers and wolves, has now annexed the country of Yan, and its momentum is even stronger. I am afraid that it will soon target us."

Cao Rui nodded and said, "As for our state of Jin, talented people are not allowed to be officials, and those who are officials are all fighting for power. They don't want to look up at Qin, which is staring at us covetously."

Xie An sighed and said, "Now that Huan Wen is in power, we have no choice but to wait for the right time, there is no other way."

Cao Rui stood up, saluted respectfully and said, "If you don't give up, I want to follow Master Xie."

Xie An was flattered and said: "Young Master Cao is extremely talented and famous, and he is under my command. Wouldn't it be aggrieved?"

Cao Rui was so ashamed that he couldn't lift his head, and said: "Master Xie's praise, Cao Rui is ashamed. I came to visit today just to show my sincerity. I am sincerely willing to follow Sir Xie."

Xie An nodded and smiled and said, "Since that's the case, you can find an official position by my side from now on, and help me with some ordinary affairs."

Cao Rui bid farewell to Xie An: "Master Xie will not give up, Rui will do his best to assist Sir Xie!"
