Chapter 399 Persecution

"I have to say that there was a mistake in Xiu's arrangement. I thought the King of Huainan could win over, and even suppressed the King of Qi. Now it seems that it is wrong." Sun Xiu sighed and said, "The King of Huainan should be solved. King of Qi cannot pose a big problem. King of Huainan is the parent-child of Emperor Wu. It is a big problem for the King of Huainan to raise his arms and shout out a little.

"Not bad, because he was the emperor's younger brother, he secretly resisted my orders, but when it comes to the royal family, it's better to be careful!" Simalun also became aware of it. After this period of time, he really discovered a problem, that is, his reputation is really bad, and promoting Juncai to serve him has little effect.

The successive encounters made Sima Lun feel decadent as if he had given up. It was all like this among the gentry. How do other royal families view themselves in the royal family?

"In the Huainan Prince's Mansion, there are dead soldiers who came to Luoyang from Huainan to Huainan. The Huainan King has been in charge of Shouchun for ten years. He has chosen one of his personal guards from a hundred miles away, and he obeys his orders. The king must not be underestimated." Sun Xiu nodded secretly. His lord finally had a little bit of the style of a wise master this time, and did not seem too impatient.

The most urgent task now is to remove the military power of King Sima Yun of Huainan. Before that, Sun Xiu had already removed the military power of King Huainan in Huainan in the name of Sima Lun. In exchange, he handed over the military power of the Luoyang Imperial Army to Sima Yun. Sima Yun is now the Central Guard of the Central Imperial Army.

The Central Guards control the Imperial Guards. If Sima Yun uses the controlled Imperial Guards to fight Sima Lun, it will be a big problem if he is prepared. It is still unknown who will win. Although Sun Xiu felt that the matter was not big, he would find a way to remove the Imperial Guards to force Sima Yun to submit.

"The king can submit a letter to the emperor to take the King of Huainan as the Grand Marshal. Zhang Hua has retired and returned home. The Grand Marshal is vacant. The King of Huainan is the emperor's younger brother. He has a noble status and it is perfect to be the Grand Marshal." Sun Xiu said after pondering for a moment.

"Can the King of Huainan agree?" Sima Lun shook his head slightly. The Taiwei was one of the three dukes, a first-rank official position, nominally in charge of the world's troops, and in essence it was a retirement position without real power.

Except for Yang Jun who was the tyrannical power when Emperor Wu just died, who had served as the Grand Marshal before? King Runan Sima Liang and King Gaomi Sima Tai were either Su Lao or a senior of the royal family, and were over fifty years old. Now King Huainan Sima Yun was only twenty-seven years old. King Zhao wanted him to live his old age in advance? Can the other party agree?

"The imperial edict for appointing the Taiwei and the removal of the Zhonggu Army can be issued at the same time. If the King of Huainan is not summoned, he can be killed." Sun Xiu's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he lowered his voice unconsciously and said, "After Empress Jia's death, the King of Huainan has been granted official titles and rewarded the three armies. The position of Zhonggu Army of Huainan was also awarded by the King of Huainan as the Prime Minister. The time for the reward is still short. The King of Huainan cannot put his confidant in the imperial guards for such a short time, but if time goes by, the King of Huainan will become deeper and deeper in the control of the imperial guards, and the harm to the king will only become greater and greater."

"Watch it, now the King of Huainan has already secretly resisted the King's orders. What will happen in the future? Xiu knew that the King had doubts, but we still have the advantage at the moment and can't wait any longer." Sun Xiu advised earnestly, "Does the King want to wait until the King of Huainan has completely controlled the imperial guards and the King to play chess? He will continue to suffer the chaos..."

"Are you going to force him to rebel?" Sima Lun was shocked. Sun Xiu's move was obviously forcing the King of Huainan to rebel, which was different from what he thought.

"The King of Huainan went out to control Shouchun at a young age and controlled the Huainan army. The same treatment was only King of Qin Sima Jian and King of Chu Sima Wei. The King of Huainan's style of conduct was similar to King of Chu Sima Wei. As for the king, are you?" Sun Xiu paused slightly when he said this, as if he had observed Sima Lun's face, and said lightly, "I shouldn't want to be King of Runan, right?"

Sima Lun's hand trembled with his pen. Who wouldn't know that Sima Liang, King Runan, was killed by King Chu Sima Wei. Things change. Sima Yun is as young as Sima Wei, and he is as old as Sima Liang.

At the beginning, it was a Martial Emperor's parent-child vs. a royal family veteran, but now it was a Martial Emperor's parent-child vs. a Martial Emperor. The King of Chu controlled the imperial guards but the King of Runan did not. Now the King of Huainan and himself were in charge of the imperial guards, which was so similar.

"Okay, let the emperor pass the imperial edict. If he obeys me, there is still a way out of life. If he doesn't accept it, it's no wonder that I am cruel." Sima Lun let out a long sigh, as Sun Xiu said, forcing him once.

The emperor issued an edict, and the target was the King of Huainan. Anyone with discerning eyes knew that this was the King of Zhao, and the battle between King of Zhao and King of Huainan. Some court officials were worried. How long did it take? It seemed that the heart of the Great Jin Dynasty was about to bleed on the street again, but for others, this was exactly what they were hoping for. The latter were like Shi Chong, Pan Yue, Ouyang Jian, and some members of the twenty-four friends of Jingu, so Sun Xiu would not cause trouble for the time being.

The moment the emperor issued an edict, the well-informed court officials secretly worried about the King of Huainan. Even if they eliminated the infiltration of King Zhao and King Huainan and excluded the entire imperial guards, King Zhao's power was far greater than that of King Huainan. King Zhao was now the prime minister, and at the first time he set up four chiefs, Sima, four middlemen, ten soldiers, twenty officers, and ten army members.

The Prime Minister alone stockpiled 10,000 troops. Even if there were elite soldiers brought by Sima Yun from Huainan Prince's Mansion, the number of people was only a few, and even if there were still people who could not meet the court officials, the total number would not exceed 1,000. The troops of the two royal palaces could be seen by discerning people at a glance. How could this turn the tables?

"It's really too much. What is Sima Lun going to do? Do you really think I'm a little angry?" Sima Yun smashed the exquisite jade artifact in his hand to the ground. Fragments flew everywhere, and said angrily, "I think he wants to be the emperor by himself."

"Your Highness, please be careful. Now King Zhao is powerful, so it is better to try it slowly." The officials beside him advised with great sincerity, "The Prime Minister's Mansion alone has tens of thousands of troops. The enemy is strong and we are weak, and it is very unwise to fight hard. The ministers suspect that King Zhao's move is deliberately forcing Your Highness."

The servants around them all followed Sima Yun to the capital from Huainan. They all knew Sima Yun's temper so they could do anything under impulse. Sima Yun looked at the servant who was speaking coldly and said sarcastically, "What do you mean is that I'm waiting to hold the knife on my neck? What a great idea!"
