Chapter three hundred and seventieth best weeds and roots

On the bank of Yishui, the tributary of the Luoshui River, the prince Xima Jiangtong, Pan Tao, the prince's servants Du Rui, Lu Yao, Wang Dun and others left the city overnight to wait for the car to pass by. They looked at it and shed tears. Of course, they were all arrested without any accident. However, although there were poor families here, there were also many talented people from great gentry, which were somewhat difficult to deal with.

Even Sima Dan, who came forward in person, had no choice but to directly refer it to local officials. This place was still under the jurisdiction of the Sili School Captain. The current Sili School Captain is Manfen, who was the grandson of Man Chong, the Grand Marshal of Wei State back then. The friendship between the gentry was unbreakable, and he could not do anything to these people. Moreover, although no one said it clearly, everyone knew that the prince was wronged. If the people were in this way, he was not Jia Nanfeng, so he vaguely handed these people over to his subordinates, Yin Leguang of Henan and Cao Rong, the ruling of Luoyang.

"I didn't expect that Wang Dun was so loyal, it was really unexpected. But Uncle Wang must be careful. This is a hot potato, so you must be careful." Sima Ji held the black and white chess piece in his hand and stared at the chessboard. If nothing unexpected happens, he will lose this chessboard again.

"Wang Dun is from a very high-ranking family. Is this aristocrat always more shameless than an ordinary poor family." Sima Xu made a move calmly and looked at the chess game that was sure to win, "Is Qing Xuan coming to Xuchang from afar to play chess with me?"

"Jicheng is too far away and I don't know what happened in the capital. Ji ran here. Uncle Wang also understood that Ji had a bad relationship with the queen recently and did not dare to go to Luoyang to inquire about the news." Sima Ji looked at the chessboard for a long time and calculated the theoretical probability of turning the tables. He was a very bachelor and conceded.

Come and see where the prince is detained and come to Xuchang with a lively attitude. Of course, this is also a purpose. However, it is mainly to come to find foreign aid. Among the five capitals, Xuchang is the closest city to Luoyang, which is nearly half the distance between Chang'an and Luoyang.

From the perspective of Luoyang, Xuchang's threat to Luoyang is still above Chang'an, so although Xuchang is also a place where heavy troops gather, in fact, many generals of Xuchang were transferred from Luoyang's imperial guards. It is considered a military town with relatively reliable control in Luoyang. Of course, this so-called more reliable is just in a peaceful period.

If other military towns kept calling Luoyang's orders, it was doubtful whether Xuchang would still obey Luoyang's orders. Of course, the central authority is still there now, so there is no need to consider the future.

But Sima Ji had to come. Who told him to overcome the hurdle of Yecheng? Among the royal family, Sima Ji had to find a vassal king who could stand together to form an alliance. He couldn't just start with one fight at the beginning. He was worried about the Hejian king of Yecheng alone.

"Don't hide it. Qingxuan must have come to Xuchang because of the prince. You talk for the prince. Now everyone in the world knows it." After Sima Xu put away the chessboard, he stood up and said with great thoughts, "Do you know, you shouldn't show up. Last time, he even had the stern ceremonials removed for the prince. Do you still want the queen to take away your general of Zhenbei? You must know that even the censor Liu Zhen, who is guarding the prince, now he has the stern ceremonials, and he can take action first and then report."

"Of course, I also expected that this censor would not dare to use the right to hold justice." Sima Xu made a divine turn and almost flashed Sima Ji who wanted to interrupt.

"I'm afraid that someone will think about the best intentions and do something to the prince in private. It's not uncommon for the great families to raise dead soldiers since ancient times. Our Sima family started with this." Sima Ji also stood up and stood behind Sima Su, and said softly, "Shu Wang guards Xuchang, you must be careful."

Without the 3,000 dead soldiers raised by Sima Shi in Beim Mountain, what capital does the Sima family have to launch the Gaopingling Incident? It is simply a person who was crushed to death by Cao Shuang at any time. This family started in this way. Others would not imitate it if they saw it?

"I have been in charge of Xuchang for many years and should not be deceived by superiors and subordinates. Qingxuan is relieved. I will protect the prince." Sima Xu turned around and patted Sima Ji on the shoulder. He also understood that his eldest nephew had good intentions, otherwise he would not have come here in person.

But as he said, as a vassal king, he had been guarding Xuchang for many years, and he was still confident in his prestige, and Xuchang could not hide his every move.

Sima Ji really wanted to give his uncle a thumbs up. As expected, he was domineering. He didn't know how the prince died in Xuchang in history. On the contrary, he was actually dead. Is the real history not Xuchang you guarded?

People who feel good about themselves will usually be slapped in the face, but what does it have to do with Sima Ji? Sima Ji's current idea is just like most court officials in Luoyang. It is better to be a bystander and wait to turn the table up.

Sima Ji is no more brain-than-than-other vassal kings, nor is he capable of rescuing the prince. If Sima Ji twitches his head and rescues the prince, in less than half a month, all military towns will gather under Jicheng City. In a month, the King of Yan's head will be hung with a flagpole.

He was able to save the prince, but he could not bear the order of the Emperor of Luoyang to kill his whole family. Now Sima Ji has both children and children, and his children are not yet born. He is not as great as his family for the sake of the prince's life. This is not as good as Sima Ya, another distant relative of the royal family. He is truly loyal to the emperor and patriotism. Sima Ji is a character who takes advantage of the situation.

Just like many people in the royal family are watching the prince’s unlucky, and those who are more determined also hope that the queen and the prince will die together. He, the King of Yan, is not smarter than other vassal kings.

Some things are from the perspective of bystanders, and they feel that as long as you intervene, you can achieve a good result. But if you are in it, you will find that after you become a client, you will face very limited choices.

Sima Ji is like this. He cannot save the prince because he cannot bear the consequences. Maybe this is called being willing to kill the thief and being unable to turn the world back. Many of the princes who are loyal and patriotic are more willing to do so than Sima Ji. Sima Ji cannot do it, he is afraid of death.

Therefore, the purpose of coming to Xuchang was to arouse the relationship between this uncle and his family. After all, both families are vassal kings of Youzhou and are distant relatives of the royal family. At the same time, they also test whether the relationship between Sima Su and Hejian King Sima Yong was particularly good.

Sima Xu is the grandson of Sima Yi's fourth brother, and Hejian King Sima Yong is the grandson of Sima Yi's third brother, Anpingxian King Sima Fu. One third brother and the other fourth brother, who knows how their relationship is in private? Don't fight yourself together at that time, the two vassal kings stationed in important towns. It would be better that the two were in disagreement. If they were in harmony, they would find a way to make one of them neutral. This is his purpose in coming to Xuchang.

At present, he has no special relationship with his two uncles. Sima Su has a good relationship with many vassal kings in the royal family. According to later generations, he is an enemy with a central air conditioner with no particularly bad relationships. Most of them have a good relationship. He is not a vassal king who has made a strong vassal king. He has participated from beginning to end since the Eight Kings Rebellion, but he is not among the Eight Kings.

He never took the lead in fighting for the world, nor did he take advantage of the situation when the royal family was in trouble, and even protected Sima Ying, who was in trouble for a long time, until he died of illness, he gave Sima Yue the opportunity to wipe out Sima Ying.

In fact, this kind of gain is enough for Sima Ji. Sima Xu, who has this style, will not participate in the war between the other two royal families. In fact, it is beneficial to Sima Ji as long as it is neutral.

If the result of his years of preparation is that he does not even have the ability to deal with a military town alone, then he should stay in Youzhou honestly and not participate in the war.

When King Sima Dan of Dongwu came to Xuchang with a thousand imperial guards, he was stunned when he saw Sima Ji behind Sima Xu and said in surprise, "The King of Yan is very interested and actually came to Xuchang."

"Come here to see the uncle. I don't know that King Dongwu is solemnly escorting the prince so much." Sima Ji glanced over Sima Dan's body and wanted to see where the prince's car was. This scene was not hidden from the other party. Sima Dan took a slight step to the left, just blocking Sima Ji's view. "Don't King Yan like to be an idle cloud and wild crane?"

Sima Ji had just withdrawn his gaze and stared at the upstart. Has he offended the King of Dongwu? By the way, he had a good relationship with King Dong'an, and the two brothers had a bad relationship. Thinking of this, Sima Ji was unwilling to talk nonsense.

It seems that there is one more killer list to prepare. Sima Ji always felt that not only were there too many gentry clans in the Jin Dynasty, but also had a wide range of royal families, too many bans, many royal families in power, and many royal families leading troops. Just like the military governor of the Tang Dynasty, they would always meet An Lushan sooner or later, and sooner or later, the royal families would be disobedient one day.

The problem solved is still in the Eight Kings Rebellion. The Eight Kings Rebellion has been reshuffled again and again. In Sima Ji's opinion, it is far from enough. One by one, the princes and princes will be defeated too slowly. If the prince dies this time, a group of royal families standing on the queen's side must be implicated. If the King of Zhao usurps the throne, a group of royal families around Zhao will be implicated. After a few times, the remaining royal families should be no more or less.

Sima Dan's head just meets all the characteristics of the Queen's party and can be used to rehabilitate the prince in the future.

Sima Ji reached out and pointed at Sima Dan's back neck, saying with some meaning, "After King Dongwu became the Zhonggu Army, his neck seemed to have become much stronger and he could bear a larger official hat."

For some reason, Sima Dan always felt that Sima Ji's move made him uncomfortable, and even his neck felt a little cold. He pulled Sima Ji's hand off and said, "The King of Yan respects himself, I have no habit of dragon yang."

"I've thought too much, I've thought too much!" Sima Ji repeatedly accused him of guilt, saying that he had no habit of Long Yang, but his hands were itchy for a moment. It would be more comfortable to touch where he cut it, and it would be easier to cut it in the future.

"Enter the city!" Sima Dan avoided Sima Ji's gaze with some disgust and waved to the imperial guards behind him.

"Why does Qingxuan have to offend King Dongwu? Is it because King Dong'an?" Sima Xu thought about it and remembered that the two had a good relationship, and it was normal for them to have a grudge against the brothers who had always been dissatisfied with King Dong'an.

Sima Su had a good relationship with other royal families. When he thought of this, he had to persuade Sima Ji, and pay attention to the unity of the royal family. However, he was destined to be futile and Sima Ji couldn't listen to it at all. This upcoming reshuffle, including Sima Ji himself, almost no one had clean hands and deserved defeat.

"Sima Ji went to Xuchang and has left now. He has not given up protecting the prince. He overestimated his abilities and went against me, Jia Mi." Jia Mi laughed when she received the news from Xuchang, as if she was mocking Sima Ji for overestimating her abilities. But he didn't think about it. No matter how overestimated Sima Ji was, he was still a vassal king. What was Jia Mi?

Unfortunately, Jia Mi was already blinded. She didn't even think that even Jia Nanfeng had mentioned the re-establishment of the crown prince. She actually thought that a relative of the Jia family could now point fingers at the royal family.

But even so, one thing is certainly true, that is, there are flatterers at all times, and Sun Yan, who reported the news, said very much, "The King of Yan is a little stubborn, and will naturally figure it out at that time. The villain cares more about another thing, that is, the prince's servant went out of the city to send him off this time, and he was arrested many times, and now he has been detained. I don't know how to deal with it?"

"What do you think!" Jia Mi smiled. This was a difficult problem. Although there were many poor families, there were many gentry members. If they suddenly killed them, it might cause a rebound, which was indeed a very difficult thing to do.

"The villain believes that the arrested prince had a large number of gentry disciples among the officials, such as Wang Dun. It was not appropriate to deal with it too seriously, and the people were very sympathetic to the current situation of the prince. This matter has spread in the capital, and Jiangtong, Wang Dun and others have won widespread praise from the world. The reason for the prince was to be driven to Xuchang was because he was guilty. Now some officials and officials were willing to commit crimes without hesitation to commit crimes. If they were punished with serious crimes, they would hit their minds and show that the prince could win the hearts of the people. It would be better to release him."

"Yes, it makes sense. The deposed prince cannot be allowed to win the hearts of the people. Instead, it seems that the empress did something wrong. You tell Henan Yin Leguang and Luoyang Order Cao Rong to release the arrested officials. Show the empress's tolerance and educate the stubborn people. If the prince had not committed an unforgivable crime, the empress would not have dealt with the prince in such a heartbreak. Do you understand?" Jia Mi ordered word by word, but he was thinking about another thing in his heart. The prince still had so many officials to protect him, so he could not make a comeback. If he wanted to find a way, it would be best to kill the roots.

Almost as Jia Mi thought so, the Right Guard General Sima Ya had just left the Zhao Prince's Mansion, but his face was a little solemn. King Zhao did not intend to agree to help, which was beyond their expectations.

"Why did sir stop me?" In the Zhao palace, King Zhao Sima Lun looked at Sun Xiu in confusion and asked, "With the assistance of the palace's central lord, I am quite sure about this matter."
