Chapter three hundred and seventy-eight
The reason why Sun Cheng found Sima Ji so quickly was entirely because he was invited by the King of Hejian to Yecheng as a guest before he returned to Jicheng. It happened that King Yan was also interested in Yecheng, so he stayed.
I believe this is no longer a secret. In less than two days, all the vassal kings outside will know. Sima Ji suddenly spoke at Sun Cheng and asked, "Who was the one who attacked the prince? Or, Luoyang sent to Xuchang? Hum?"
"This?" Sun Cheng was shocked and was about to pull the words over, when he looked up, he saw Sima Jiru Hanbing's gaze, and couldn't help but tell the truth, "Yes, it's the villain's brother Sun Lu!" As soon as he said that, Sun Cheng seemed to have been drained of all his strength and collapsed on the ground, looking like he was left to fate.
"You are honest. If you dare to hide it from me, you will have to land." Sima Ji looked at Sun Cheng with great satisfaction and said slowly, "There are no cities and cities with more than 100,000 people in the world, and all the major states are out of my sight. Even if you don't report the letter, the incident will be transmitted to my ears in a few days. This time, you saved your life."
"Thank you, Your Highness! Sun Cheng has always been loyal to His Highness, so there is no reason to hide it." Sun Cheng, who was already sweating, quickly expressed his loyalty. "The villain has no idea about Sun's concerns. If he listened to my brother, the villain would never dare to let him do such a ruthless thing. The prince is kind and kind, and many people feel sorry for him."
"Oh? Don't worry, Sun's concerns will not affect you. But Luoyang should not go back for the time being, stay in other places for a while first." Sima Ji played with the jade ring on his finger and gave Sun Cheng a reassurance.
No one knows what happened in Luoyang now, and he is not going to go close to observe this time, and he must have a degree of death. Now, in Luoyang City, it is much more dangerous than the Hejian King suppressing the peasant uprising. It is the end of the fall of the heads. Whether it is the royal family to take action or there is a slight chance that Jia Nanfeng will fight back, there will be a big chaos in the future.
Jia Nanfeng will definitely not be able to fight against the royal family. She only has one person and can win many times. But as long as the royal family wins once, the family of Jia's relatives will be uprooted. So even if Jia Nanfeng really has God's blessing to fight back this time, the final outcome will be very tragic, because there are too many vassal kings in the royal family, and the winning rate of both sides is not at the same level at all.
Killing the royal family in Luoyang will only make the royal family out of the town think that the Jia family wants to start a war with the Sima family, and the result will be that all the military towns will be besieged Luoyang. At that point, Jia Nanfeng will die even worse.
As for why not implicate Sun Cheng, avenge the crown prince Sima Yu, killing a small person to express his position. Why didn't Sima Ji do it? This is even simpler, because Sun Cheng is a person without threats. If the one who killed the crown prince directly was a noble gentry, even if Sima Ji didn't take action now, he would find fault in the future. Why should he compete with Sun Cheng as a villain?
Besides, this is a family tradition. At that time, Emperor Cao Mao of Wei could not stand Sima Zhao's autocracy and led his troops to attack the Sima family. Although the Sima family had real power, it was the first military confrontation with the orthodox emperor after all. The soldiers were at a loss. It was Jia Chong who gave the soldiers courage and said, "Sima Gong raised you just for today, why are you hesitating?" So Cheng Ji rushed over and killed Emperor Cao Mao of Wei.
How about Sima Zhao being treated by Jia Chong later? Jia Chong was still Jia Nanfeng's father. Now he doesn't kill Sun Cheng. After all, I ruled the world with filial piety. I should listen to my ancestors more.
"Am I going back to Jicheng now, or am waiting for news from Luoyang here?" After Sun Cheng went down, Sima Ji fell into thinking again. Things like coups either started immediately or didn't delay until a while, so the proportion of finding the difference within a month was very large.
Since the canal on the northern line was dug, Yecheng has become a major waterway. Sima Ji could just take a boat from here and go back to Jicheng directly. This is why he said that water could be used to flood the Chu capital by conquering Yecheng.
The reason why I stayed in Yecheng for longer than Xuchang this time was that Sima Ji wanted to take a look at the canal line and plan the future of the troops, but he did not want to witness the peasant uprising first. He only watched the autumn harvest settlement a few days ago. Seeing the prisoners beheading the prisoners' rioters outside the city, he learned about the death of the prince today.
The canal effect is very satisfactory. Now that the waterway is so convenient, Sima Ji can board the boat and return to Youzhou at any time. He has the conditions to leave as long as he wants. Instead, he doesn't want to leave. He stays in Yecheng for a few days to disturb him and watch.
After the idea was decided, Sima Ji told the accompanying guard not to return to Youzhou for the first time. As for the reason, there was no. He was a vassal king, and this reason was enough in front of the guards.
It was not just the King of Yan who was waiting for him, but the King of Hejian, the owner of Ye City, might have the same thoughts. As for the kings in Luoyang City, let alone.
The news of the death of the prince came, like a basin of cold water, put out the flames in the hearts of Sima Ya, Xu Chao and other imperial generals. The prince was dead. They were preparing tirelessly. What is the point of the efforts to rescue the prince now?
Why did they risk their lives to put the lives of the family and young, and plan a coup to depose the queen? It’s not because the prince is alive. As long as the prince returns to his position, the world will sooner or later return to his position? Instead of falling into the hands of a woman with a hen Sichen.
Now that the princes are dead, what's the point of even if they launch a coup? The emperor's only heirs are dead, and their goals are gone. They give up the coup for a while, and the idea of leaving fate is filled with the mind.
It was at this time that Sun Xiu found Simaya who was left to fate at home. Not long after, the Simaya who was determined to rescue the prince seemed to have been drained. When facing Sun Wu, he became weak and had no energy and said, "I don't know what to do with me, why didn't I bring the imperial guards in the palace here?"
"Does the general think Sun Xiu reported to the general and brought the palace guards to capture you?" Sun Xiu was not angry either. He had been used to the contempt of these noble people in the gentry for many years and did not care about it. As long as the plan was successful, wouldn't these noble people rely on their own risk in the future?
"Sir, joking, please explain your purpose." Simaya sat up and asked listlessly.
