Chapter 360 King Yan and Queen
It is not impossible for thieves to call for thieves to catch them. Because the government is the only source of authoritative news, we should take it for granted that the people really listen to everything. Properly spreading rumors and blaming the government can arouse other people's suspicion of the government. After eating the plaintiff and eating the defendant, the King of Yan did not target some people, but wanted them all.
In this way, it makes sense for Jin Wei to capture Jin Wei. Some Jin Wei is responsible for spreading rumors, while others are arresting people who spread rumors. Regardless of whether the other party is probably his own comrade, I even beat myself up when I become cruel. I don’t recognize my relatives. This is the attitude that a qualified Jin Wei should have.
Even though they know it is fake, but to prevent the spread of such rumors in a serious way will make more people believe that the government is blocking the news, but in fact, the plague has already broken out, and the people will believe in this judgment they have summarized.
On this day, Jicheng could be seen everywhere. The people who were sent to the government finally broke the psychological bottom line of everyone. On the surface, people could not see anything in their reactions, but in the following days, the deserted streets of Jicheng showed that everyone was afraid, and the herd effect began to appear. Each household was closed. The entire Jicheng was still a prosperous place ten days ago, but now it seemed like a dead city.
This scene was almost all staged in the 22 counties of Yan State. No one knew where the danger came from, but he surrendered to the fear in his heart. Sima Ji spreading the fear of the first stage was considered very successful.
"You can clearly know that there is no plague but make all preparations to deal with it. The people will naturally believe that the plague exists." Sima Ji stood with his hands on the map of the country's seal. The old god said, "Let the fear spread for a few days first, observe the psychology of the people. The next step is to protect the country and safeguard the people. If you do it well, it will not only not cause instability among the people, but will also have the effect of uniting people."
If a normal person is a normal person, it will definitely not work if he asks him to eat only one meal. But if this person is a person who is about to starve to death, he will not only not be scolded, but will receive gratitude instead. After depriving all of a person of his own things without knowing it, he will thank you for whatever he gives him.
Although there is a saying that cannot fully explain the current situation of the Fengguo, Sima Ji cannot find a more suitable word, that is, the terror of white. The Great Jin Shangbai was a white ocean itself.
This situation was expected, but it scared the Funan delegation who returned to Jicheng. It was still prosperous more than two months ago, but why did it seem like a dead city when I came back this time?
Looking at the awareness of the queen, some people have temporarily put down their discord with the prince. On the contrary, the King of Yan embarrassed the Great Jin Dynasty at this critical moment, and their character and moral integrity are judged.
"It's time to go back. I've been away from the country for too long. Are you not afraid of something happening in the country?" Sima Ji looked helpless and drove away all the maids around him before whispering, "I'm not sick."
"No, no healthy person pretends to be sick if he has nothing to do." Liu Ye looked disbelief and reached out to touch Sima Ji's forehead and said with concern, "Don't deceive yourself, I have read a book about your Dajin, which talks about avoiding illness and avoiding medical treatment."
Sima Ji rolled his eyes and said, "It's better not to pretend to be sick." Why is this? Even international friends have deceived him. Now he doesn't believe that he is not sick, but it's true. What kind of illness is normal people pretending to be sick if they are fine?"
King Yan pretended to be sick but got better in the middle. He could only show that with the support of the power of love, he finally defeated the disease tenaciously again, so that he could quickly bring Liu Ye back to his country. The Central Plains will soon be in war. What are you doing here?
As his condition improved, Sima Ji walked in the fruit forest of the royal palace with the help of the little queen to prove that he was in good health and was having a great time playing chess and fishing.
"You have been to Luoyang, what do you think of my Great Jin capital?" Sima Ji suddenly remembered this question and wanted to know what the heart of the Great Jin Empire was like in the eyes of the barbarian small country.
"It has a sense of solemnity compared to Jicheng, but the places where ordinary people live are far inferior." Liu Ye tilted his head and thought for a while, and gave a very pertinent answer, "If you are an ordinary person, Jicheng seems to be very convenient and cleaner, so why did the plague break out in Youzhou?"
"This matter will be long, and it will pass." Sima Ji concealed it in a vague manner for a moment. Of course, he considered more places in Jicheng in his plan than Luoyang, because the King of Yan was also a commoner, so he would naturally look at the problem from the perspective of the people.
Sima Ji of Luoyang also has his own impression. Almost all conditions in Luoyang are above Chang'an, which is not as false as historical heritage, or even better. This is true in both the Jin Dynasty and later generations. Luoyang is also the ancient capital of the Thirteenth Dynasty. The ancient capital of Chang'an is also counted as several regimes of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Luoyang's capital is much more valuable.
But Chang'an has the history of the capitals of the Western Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, which is amazing. Luoyang is an all-star lineup, but Chang'an is two superstars and a group of character players.
Luoyang is really not as reliable as Chang'an in terms of security, especially in the Jin Dynasty, because Hetao was abandoned as early as the end of the Han Dynasty. If it weren't for Sima Ji's constant suggestion, the Jin Dynasty would have been the emperor to guard the national gates. The distance between Luoyang and the border was closer than that between Jicheng and Yanshan.
The emperor guards the national gates, which is nothing more than a drawback caused by the regime's decision-making mistakes. If Hetao is taken back, is it still necessary to guard the national gates? The last Chen State in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the capital is on the edge of the Yangtze River, and the emperor guards the national gates more than any dynasty.
Of course, this matter cannot be told to Liu Ye, because the Funan Kingdom placed the new capital at the Jiangkou position under the cordial care of the King of Yan to achieve the purpose of indirect control of Funan, so that the King of Yan could cross the river at any time and capture Liu Ye King alive. If Liu Ye didn't want the emperor to guard the country's gate, Sima Ji would not be content.
"Actually, many domestic ministers suggested that I find a wedding at a time, and I don't know what to do." Liu Ye complained very worriedly, "But I have never seen a few men and don't want to get married so early."
Which bastard is playing the corner? Sima Ji nodded, and his face suddenly changed. He paid such a great price to find a lucky person to accept the results? Even an internationalist fighter didn't do this, right?
Sima Ji's face was unstable. Calculated Liu Ye's age, it was time to get married. No wonder some ministers in Funan have already started to talk about this issue. But this cannot change the fact that he was poached. How many people died in southern expeditions, they massacred the city and pretended to be sick. They used all the good and bad moves, and ended up like this?
"No one in the Kingdom of Funan is worthy of you." Sima Ji vetoed Liu Ye. The natives of Funan really wanted to eat swan meat. It seems that the last time the southern expedition killed too few people, the tropical people were more optimistic and had no memory at all.
Liu Ye glanced at Sima Ji, a hesitant look flashed across his face, and he mustered up the courage to speak, "King, do you not want me to get married? I hope that one day Funan can become a part of the Great Jin Dynasty?"
"I'm not going to let you get married, and let you live alone for the rest of your life. I'm not that kind of person, but no one in Funan deserves you." Sima Ji explained for a long time, feeling embarrassed that he became darker and darker as he painted. He gritted his teeth and said, "In your identity, it's appropriate to marry my royal family in Dajin."
"I understand!" Liu Ye's voice was weak and mosquitoes and flies, and Qiqiai Ai Ai asked, "When will the king marry me?"
If the King of Yan said that he had not imagined such a possibility, it would be absolutely false. Because just when Liu Ye was talking, he thought about whether he would marry Liu Ye and merge the Funan Kingdom into the Jin Dynasty. Anyway, although this kind of thing has never happened in China, the Funan Kingdom has appeared once. Isn’t the first queen Liu Ye a precedent?
Liu Ye took the initiative to speak out, so he broke the window paper. Sima Ji stared at him and weighed the pros and cons. Before Luoyang's authority was ruined, he was actually subject to multiple restrictions. If he married a foreign queen, he might become the target of public criticism.
After thinking for a long time, Sima Ji was about to make a long-term plan, but when he saw Liu Ye's eyes getting dimmer, a fire suddenly rose in his heart. This was not the first time that the blank check was opened. Didn't you agree to Yang Xianrong? You didn't care about one more, and said firmly, "I need some time to prepare. Give me a year and I will definitely marry you."
"Your Majesty, don't let Liuye wait too long!" Liuye stood on tiptoe and kissed Sima Ji on the cheek, and a knowing smile appeared on her face, and a smile seemed like a hundred flowers blooming.
Liu Ye has grown up in recent years and has always been full of doubts about why she, an ordinary family's daughter, was named the Queen of Funan. She had some speculations in her heart but had no chance to be confirmed. This time she completely understood that Sima Ji must have fallen in love with her at the beginning.
Many years later, when Liu Ye asked this question, Sima Ji said that this was definitely a slander, and he didn't look at how old you were at the beginning. He had bad thoughts about such a young girl. Is he a beast?
Liu Ye nodded with a smile and told Sima Ji clearly that you are such a beast...
Compared with the time when Liuye left, it seemed much calmer. There were not even a few people watching the fun in Jicheng, and they did not cause any trouble until they boarded the boat by the sea.
