Chapter 342 A promise
Is it necessary to hear this? The 200 guards of King Yan stood outside Zhang Hua's mansion, and there was no need to hear that. Sima Ji didn't want to hide it from anyone and did things secretly. He could not compare with the royal family in Luoyang. The royal family in Luoyang has been in the capital for many years, and no one knows how many hidden backs there are. He has only come a few times and dared to play conspiracies in Luoyang?
"You told the queen not to depose the prince?" Zhang Hua looked at Sima Ji in shock. The only king and prince who were so brave was Sima Wei, the King of Chu who had been dead for many years. Sima Ji in his eyes was not such a person.
"Qing Xuan is too reckless. Everyone knows that the queen and the prince are not in harmony." Pei Fu happened to be a guest in Zhang Hua's mansion. He pondered for a moment after hearing this, "Even the queen's brother Jia Mo was scolded for the prince's affairs. He has been sick recently and is in the mansion. Even Jia Mo is like this. How can the queen listen to others' words?"
"Can you think this matter doesn't exist?" Sima Ji looked at the two important officials of the court and smiled coldly, and said calmly, "The emperor is just such a son. What do you think if he is abolished?"
"The queen has another son..." Pei Fu coughed softly and was about to correct him.
Sima Ji directly interrupted the other party and said disdainfully, "Who believes it? Does the Taiwei Monk Shuling think? Only the king is suspicious, or are there many people who have not expressed their doubts?"
Speaking of this, Sima Ji's voice suddenly increased by eight degrees. "Don't say that the child's origin is unclear, even if it's just a remark, it's enough to have a chaos in the world. Who dares to touch the royal bloodline? She is just looking for death."
"King Yan is careful!" Zhang Hua quickly looked back and stopped him anxiously, "Do you know the death of Liu Bian?"
"I know, I'm not sure of my death." Sima Ji took several deep breaths to calm himself down, and his voice turned to a gentle voice, "It's not that I insist on angering the queen at this time, but that's the case. But only I said it. Do those silent clans don't have doubts in their hearts?"
Alas! Pei Fu was also at a loss. Of course, he knew that the concerns of the King of Yan were a matter. Many court officials did doubt the origin of the child mentioned by the queen, but they just didn't say it out loud. Pei Fu also knew that the matter of the prince was of great importance, so he kept persuading Jia Nanfeng and the prince to improve their relationship.
"But Qingxuan's move is too direct, so he still needs to be more tactful and tactful. Otherwise, the queen will be furious and you will suffer." Pei Fu didn't know how to speak. In his opinion, Sima Ji was definitely thinking about the court, but the method was wrong. The queen has been in charge of the government for many years, so it would definitely not be appropriate to fight head-on.
Pei Fu's words were tactful and doubted the origin of the child, even the ministers were like this? The reactions of the people in the royal family were too much. Is it worth mentioning that Emperor Wu really gave it to him for nothing?
Jia Nanfeng's abolishment of the Crown Prince Sima Yu can be said to be the key point of the outbreak of the Eight Kings Rebellion. Before this, all parties fought for power and profit to act on behalf of the emperor. Everyone knew that the emperor was still there, and the heir of the crown prince was also there. After the crown was abolished and later directly killed, the orthodox heir of the entire dynasty was gone. At that time, for the royal family, there was equal opportunity. When the crown was put into the ground, anyone had the opportunity to take it into his hands.
Not to mention Jia Nanfeng, even if Lu Zhi and Wu Zetian came out, they could not stop all the military towns from sending troops. At that time, the battle was not political skills, but who had the biggest fist.
Sima Ji came to Luoyang this time and knew that his few words had made Jia Nanfeng dispel the deposed prince's thoughts. The probability was almost impossible, but his attitude had to be expressed, whether it was shameless or cutting. He could no longer give others the impression of the Jia family as a party.
"At this point, Ji has informed the Emperor's sister-in-law of the danger, but I hope the Emperor's sister-in-law will consider it in detail. Because of all the consequences of this admonition, Ji has been ready to accept it." Sima Ji turned to look at Zhang Hua, Pei Fu and the others, and hesitated for a moment and said, "At this point, Ji wants to ask the Grand Marshal and the Secretary of the Sect to the Lord."
"Your Highness of the King of Yan, please tell me if you have anything to do." Pei Fu and Zhang Hua were stunned and hesitated for a moment and replied, "Let's hear what's going on first. If you ask the two to submit a memorial to protect the prince, you can't agree to this matter so easily. At best, just advise the queen privately. This is the greatest extent that they can do, and you can't ask too much.
It is human nature to protect yourself. Sima Ji guessed the reactions of the two of them at a glance, but this was not the case. "Just as I said just now, the prince was very difficult this time. Ji had a request. If the prince was deposed, even his life was in danger. Ji hoped that the Taiwei and the Secretary of the State Council would resign and retire and leave Luoyang, a place of right and wrong. Because no one knew the next change at that time, and once the war broke out, no one could guarantee that he could survive."
"This? Isn't it?" Pei Fu said incredulously, thinking that Sima Ji was too stingy, and things would develop so severely? Taking history as a warning, the witchcraft disaster during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han finally made things right. The blood of the prince scattered among the people finally returned to the palace and became Emperor Xuan of Han?
"Please agree to the Taiwei Monk's Secretary." Sima Ji was unmoved and heaviered his tone, not preparing to compromise in this regard.
"Okay, if the prince is in danger of his life, I will resign and retire." Zhang Hua thought for a moment, and agreed under the pressure of his students, "I am loyal to the Great Jin Dynasty and will never break my promise once this is said."
"Okay, Wu is willing to advance and retreat with the Grand Marshal. The prince is in danger of his life, so he resigns from his post and retires." Seeing Zhang Hua's statement, Pei Wu spoke in a very entangled manner, which was considered to be agreeing to Sima Ji's request.
It is very difficult for Pei Fu to say this. Zhang Hua is nearly 70 years old and I don’t know when he will die. However, Pei Fu is only 31 years old and is now the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe, younger than the ministers of the same level in the court today. Moreover, Shangshu Zuo Pushe is real power. At this age, he has reached this position, so it is really not easy to say this.
But Zhang Hua had already agreed. Everyone knew that the matter of the prince was of great importance and made a statement. Only then could he reluctantly agree. Pei Fu was also comforting himself in his heart that he might not have said so seriously to what the King of Yan said.
The two of them didn't know that Sima Ji was saving them. When Sima Lun started a coup in the future, Zhang Hua and Pei Fu were killed by the whole family. Today, the two seemed to be forced. If they fulfilled their promise to resign and retire, they would thank themselves sooner or later.
"Since that's the case, I hope the matter is not as serious as Ji said." Sima Ji received a response, so he stopped disturbing and stood up and said, "I hope the Grand Marshal Monk can advise the Emperor's Sister-in-law, so Ji said goodbye."
"It must be!" Pei Fu quickly bowed to Sima Ji, "As a major official in the country, this is the case."
