Chapter 403 Shi Chong Doomsday
When the dust settled, Luoyang returned to silence. The royal court officials who wanted to send troops secretly thanked that they were not confused by the illusion that King Huainan had the advantage, otherwise this would be a piss. But for some people, things are far from being as simple as the surface.
Luoyang was filled with the shouts of imperial guards coming out to catch people. Sima Jiong did not leave the house but could clearly hear this sound.
"The White Tiger Banner means to supervise the battle. Fu Yin appears with the White Tiger Banner in his hand, which should not be to help Sima Lun. Either he was bribed, or the emperor deliberately paralyzed the King of Huainan, but this is impossible." Sima Jiong pondered secretly that the key to the reversal of victory or defeat was that Fu Yin appeared to kill the King of Huainan.
Sima Yun's death caused a situation where the Huainan army was headless, which made Sima Lun survive the disaster. He also held the White Tiger Banner to supervise the battle and killed the Huainan King in the name of the imperial edict. These are two conflicts in the same occasion. What is destroyed is the emperor's prestige. It seems nothing now, but if you think about it carefully, it will be a big deal.
At least Sima Jiong had already thought of this. Unless he really saw the emperor, he would never believe the so-called imperial edict.
Now it is only his clan who is still in the capital who thinks about this. In a few days, the incident will reach other military towns, and the clans who leave the town will also think about this. This battle between King Zhao and King Huainan has already lost the majesty of the imperial edict.
Sima Jiong was a little sad. Among the people targeted by King Zhao, he was also himself. He simply thought he was cautious enough to not be caught by Sun Xiu. But this cannot be said to be nothing. Now he can only be a human being with his tail between his legs. If he can't hide, then accept it calmly.
Unlike Sima Jiong who was in a complicated mood, there were still many things to do on the winner's side. Sima Lun was at a disadvantage from beginning to end in this battle, and was almost shot into a hedgehog. It was only in the end that Fu Yin's killing that he slightly saved his face.
Not only was Sima Lun not only not easy to win, but it could even be said to be in a bad state. He threw a handful of people in front of the entire Luoyang people and was beaten by Sima Yun, who had only one-tenth of the troops, and his prestige had completely said goodbye to Sima Lun.
The war has been fought for a day today, and the arrest is just an appetizer, and tomorrow is the real big move. Even Sun Xiu came out of the palace and arrived at the Zhao Mansion, which is now a bit of smoke.
When he entered the Zhao Prince's Mansion, Sun Xiu saw Sima Lun, who was like a frightened bird. The scene where he was almost shot into a sieve during the day still had a huge impact on the old Sima Lun, and he was even in a state of ignorance. When he saw Sun Xiu, he quickly stood up and said, "Sir, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"It was Xiu's unsecret behavior that made the king frightened." Sun Xiu repeatedly accused Sima Lun and almost designed to die. But he couldn't blame him. Who knew that the army of the Zhao Palace was ten times more powerful than the enemy, and he actually became like this? "The army of the palace is so unbearable, the king must pay attention."
In order to cover up his poor planning, Sun Xiu just sat down and pointed his finger at the Zhao royal family army, which performed extremely poorly today. It was because of the unbearable army that Sima Lun was put in danger.
Sima Lun agreed with this, because it was the unbearable combat effectiveness of his army under his command that caused him to be in a mess today.
"The army in the royal palace needs to be added, not to mention that this battle can also indicate who is the real winner." Sun Xiu nodded fiercely, "It is better to take advantage of the victory to establish his authority and directly eliminate the disasters in the dark, and at the same time establish the majesty of the king's words, so that all the civil and military officials of the court can recognize the facts so that they will not dare to resist in the future."
"Yes, kill them all, and those who dare to oppose me will kill them. Yes, sir, who asked the White Tiger Banner to save my life." Sima Lun thought of a scene that changed the situation of the battle. This White Tiger Banner saved his life. Sima Lun thought it was Sun Xiu who used a strategy to lure Sima Yun.
Sun Xiu shook his head and said that it was not his own. Today, he was dispatching troops and generals, and he did not stay with Sima Zhong. He was not present and naturally did not know the key points. Both of them thought it might be a plan made by a minister who was inclined to King Zhao. He did not expect that this person might be planning to kill Sima Lun.
It was a very misleading thing, and it was very unfortunate that the two of them missed this problem at the same time. There were too many things today, so many that even with Sun Xiu's caution, there was a blank mind. The Chen Zhun brothers became blind and blindly, and not only did they not be implicated, but also became Sima Lun's guest of honor in the future.
As for whether to say something first or kill dissidents first, Sun Xiu believes that the latter should start first and has listed a list of them, including Shi Chong, Pan Yue and Ouyang Jian. These people also happen to be his enemies.
"The king wants to reward people who have made meritorious words. Last time, he rewarded more than a thousand generals of the imperial guards. This time, he must be even bigger. The treasury is already slightly insufficient. Shi Chong is a famous rich man in the world. He is rare in the world. There are countless gold, silver, treasures, silk and satin in the palace. He killed people to drink and fight for wealth and spread the world. He killed him, which can show that the king's rectification is beyond the rules, drink to stop the spread of luxury, and his life can also win people's hearts." Sun Xiu told the story of the benefits, "The most important thing is that Shi Chong was born in a poor family and his family was not deeply rooted, which reduces the dissatisfaction of others in the future. If the rootless water, he can be killed."
Although Sima Lun's reputation is very bad, it does not mean that Shi Chong's reputation is no longer bad. Shi Chong Pan Yue bows to Jia Mi's carriage, Shi Chong fights wealth, kills beauties and encourages drinking are all well-known things in the world. If you have a huge family, you will not be prosperous. Who will you kill if you don't kill him? Killing Shi Chong is a relatively low risk.
Shi Chong, the friend of the King of Yan, the richest man in the Great Jin Dynasty, the literary giant, and the world-famous Shi Chong finally put his head on the felt board for Sun Xiu. Sima Lun nodded with approval, and his wealth was touching. Shi Chong was really too rich. Unlike other rich people who had big families behind him, Shi Chong's family was not so powerful and was a good target to start.
"As for King Qi? When the king stabilizes the situation and cleans up Shi Chong and his men, it's not too late to deal with it." Sun Xiu lowered his voice, "The king has killed the King of Huainan. If the King of Qi is honest, he will appease him."
There are many members in the royal family and many different branches. Now Sima Lun has killed Emperor Wu's own son. If he is fighting against the other royal family, many royal family members who are out of town will be worried. They may be self-respecting and even raise troops to fight to the death. Even if they have to deal with Sima Jiong, they cannot be so quickly. They have to give the imperial family a acceptable time.
"Okay, let's deal with Shi Chong and the Jiahou party first." Sima Lun said fiercely, "I have disliked them for a long time."
Sun Xiu made arrangements overnight and sent someone to monitor the target person's mansion to see if these people were ready to die. Then he began to secretly call the imperial guards and agreed to take action at noon the next day.
Shi Chong, who was still in the mansion, didn't know that he had already been receiving lunch boxes. When he was broken into the gate by the imperial guards, he still looked indifferent and said, "It's just that he was exiled and exchanged with people, and it's just that he was widely."
