Chapter 416 The forbidden army pursues

"It would be great if I were the prime minister." Sun Xiu, who was anxious, almost ran out of the palace. As a civil servant, even if Sun Xiu was born in a humble family, this journey was not easy. Before he could run far, Sun Xiu felt that his chest was about to explode.

This trip to the Zhao Palace is a must. The Secretariat of the Central Committee cannot directly command the imperial guards. Although the generals and ministers are concerned about being promoted to the prime ministers in this day, it only means that the roles between civil officials and military generals can be exchanged, which does not mean that civil officials can command the army at will. It is still far away from the palace gate, and Sun Xiu also took a lot of attention and directly asked the imperial guards to prepare horses to rush out of the palace.

When he arrived in front of Sima Lun, Sun Xiu, who was outraged, scolded King Yan's behavior and said that Sima Ji was very brave and came to Luoyang this time to come here to slap King Zhao in the face. He must not tolerate it. If he catches it, he must be beheaded.

Sun Xiu was crying when he spoke. Not only did he feel wronged for himself, but Sima Lun had not yet spoken up. "Now everyone in the world knows that King Zhao is powerful and in power and controls the world. Sima Ji took action specifically at the ceremony of the emperor's founding. It is definitely not just for his subordinates, but for your current majesty. More than 100,000 imperial guards in the capital are pitying him and dare to do such a behavior. If he returns to Youzhou, he may even rebel directly, delaying the king's hegemony."

"This?" Sima Lun pondered. He had to say that Sun Xiu had been in front of him and Sima Lun for a long time. When encountering such a joke that was said to be the laughing stock of the world, Sima Lun must admit that he had some sympathy for Sun Xiu. Everyone knew that Sun Xiu had proposed to his son. This was a beautiful thing, but now he failed to propose marriage but was robbed by Sima Ji.

If this is spread out? Simalun, who is also not very prestige and is despised by the people behind his back, knows what this feels, so he naturally empathizes with it.

He was about to agree, and Sima Lu, the prince of Zhao, hurried in from outside the house. He happened to hear what Sun Xiu said, and he had already learned the whole story of the matter. He asked clearly, "Hey? Zhongshuling is so busy and doesn't have a good rest, why did he come here? King Yan? What's wrong with King Yan?"

Sima Lun kept not sympathizing when he heard Sun Xiu's experience, and even felt a little gloating in his tone. Even if his father Sima Lun whispered a soft reminder, he would not take it seriously. He was the prince of Zhao, so why was he gloating?

Unlike his father Sima Lun, Sima Lun disliked Sun Xiu, the person on the left and the right. Bad background is just one aspect. The most important reason is that Sun Xiu is tyrannical and some people don’t understand who is the master and who is the second.

Sima Lun's reputation is something that the entire capital knows, so naturally there will be no famous scholars coming to join the mansion to make suggestions. This is exactly the same as Sima Ji. His wishes far away in Youzhou can also shirk the reason to the frontier issue. Sima Lun has lived in the capital for so many years, but no famous scholars come to the house. Sun Xiu has always taken the lead in the mansion.

If this situation was OK before, but Sima Lun is now a prime minister, with power in the court and the country, and imitating Duke Huan's actions to respect the king and expel the barbarians. Sun Xiu's provocation made Sima Lun dislike him. Perhaps Sun Xiu compared himself to Guan Zhong, but he, the prince of Zhao, did not think so. On the contrary, Sun Xiu was very dissatisfied with the current command of the government. It was just that Sima Lun reconciled it and did not erupted the conflict.

Furthermore, Sima Qi also wanted to go further in his heart, knowing that his father still needs Sun Xiu, so he maintained his apparent unity, but once there was a moment to make Sun Xiu look ugly, Sima Qi was happy to see it happen.

When the prince and the most important aide were in disagreement, Sima Lun was also in a dilemma and said with a face, "You can say less, what Sun Xiu said is still very reasonable. This is slapping the father in the face."

"That's not necessarily. My father thought about it carefully. Many years ago, the King of Yan was promoted step by step in front of Jia Hou because of his good relationship with the eldest princess. The King of Yan did not come to the capital many times, but he went to visit the eldest princess every time. Many people in the royal family also knew about this. Everyone knew that the eldest princess was not willing to marry the princess of the Zhongshuling. It was not impossible for the eldest princess to let the closest uncle king come to rescue him. But the ministers did not expect that the King of Yan would actually come." Sima Lu paused slightly and said in a long voice, "It's just that the Secretary of Yan has always been conceited and strategy, but he didn't even know the relationship between the King of Yan and the eldest princess. I heard that the King of Yan went to the mansion a few days ago and greeted him with a smile. It's really strange."

Sima Xu's words made Sun Xiu's face turn blue and white. Now that I think about it, King Yan is naturally a master of art and courage. On the contrary, Sun Xiu's stepping stone was well made, setting off the other party's heroic image.

"What Qi'er means is that this matter will turn into a big deal into a small matter?" Sima Lun looked at the prince Sima Lu suspiciously and asked, "Will this affect my great cause?"

"Of course I can't forget it this way. My son just doesn't like Zhongshuling to associate his fault with his father." Sima Lu turned his mind again, stood on Sun Xiu's side, and said in a slew manner, "Zhongshuling is the minister of his father. As a lord, the father must not forget it like this. So naturally, he has to send an imperial guard to pursue him."

Speaking of this, Sima Lu bowed and bowed, with a demeanor of respect for the public and not the private. If he was a famous scholar with a good reputation, he might even have a sense of righteousness.

Sima Lu naturally had his own considerations when he spoke like this. Although he hated Sun Xiu's autocracy, he believed that Sun Xiu was a bit too much and did not understand his identity. But just like Sun Xiu said, Sima Lun had to stand out. Because it affected the reputation of the entire King of Zhao. Sima Lun must not think that nothing happened, otherwise any vassal king would ride on his head. Is that so great?

"Thank you, the king and the prince, I'll go now." Sun Xiu hurriedly greeted him, obviously he was quite concerned about this matter. After a conversation, Sun Xiu wanted to say something, but time was urgent, so he would chase him first, and he could say something back.

Seeing Sun Xiu's rushing out, Sima Lun glanced at his son and blamed him, "Since you agree with the gentleman's judgment, why are you blocking him here for so long?"

"The son of mine naturally has his own considerations." This sentence made Sima Lu frown slightly. This was actually the reason why Sima Lu stopped him. His father had too much weight on Sun Xiu, and even the prince could not accept it. Sima Lun was optimistic at all to make Sun Xiu lose his master once, but Sima Lun was not responding that the majesty was damaged, so it was necessary to pursue him.

But if Sima Lu insists on making a choice between him, he will definitely choose Sun Xiu and it is best not to catch up with him. In this way, Sun Xiu may be more honest in the future and don’t look arrogant.

Sun Xiu received Sima Lun's approval. Finally, after the Yan King's army left, five thousand imperial guards left the city at night to attack the Xianbei people's garrison. Naturally, they also found the bound imperial guards. The one who led the imperial guards out of the city was Sun Xiu's son, who was preparing to marry Sima Xuanhua.

Sun Xiu still hoped to save face and sent his son to pursue him personally. The tied soldiers said everything they had just escaped from the trap, and finally hesitated, "Captain, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Say!" Sun Hui said in anger. He was not a handsome man recognized by the people of the Jin Dynasty. If you have to describe it, you can even find a comparison among women, that is, Jia Nanfeng, who is not good at appearance. Therefore, Sun Hui became angry and made people unable to look directly at him.

"The King of Yan said that if there is an imperial guard who goes out of the city to pursue the city, let us tell you that it is best not to seek death. He has led the imperial guards in Luoyang twice to fight, and he is clear about the combat power of the central imperial guards, not his enemy. What he is worried about is that the city walls of the capital are tall, and now he has no worries when he goes out of the city. No matter who is pursuing him, remember one thing, the eagle sometimes flies lower than the pheasant, but the pheasant will never fly to the eagle's position."

"Ah, chase me!" Sun Hui was furious when he heard this. Sun Xiu was born in a humble family and attached great importance to the matter of being in a family. Sun Hui also paid special attention to this after hearing and seeing it. In Sun Hui's opinion, Sima Ji was deliberately insulting himself, saying that he was not worthy of the royal bloodline.

This was wronged by King Yan, and King Yan didn't know that it was Sun Hui who chased him. But even if he knew that he would not take back his words, was this sentence wrong? Not only was it not wrong, it also had the potential of chicken soup.

Will the princess of a country marry a family like Sun Hui? Not to mention that it is the Jin Dynasty that pays special attention to family background, even for other dynasties, the chance of choosing a nouveau riche like Sun is very small.

Although Sima Ji knew the truth that everyone was equal, he never wanted it to happen to him. Just like the King of Yan knew that only the people of Youzhou farmed from 9 to 5, he was qualified to treat the entire Jin Dynasty as the capital for wandering around in the back garden. But the King of Yan never thanked him. On the contrary, Sima Ji reversed the order and instilled the people with a thinking that if I had not raised you, you would have starved to death.

Because Sima Ji was a vassal king, he could not maintain his current life without exploiting the people. The reason why he hated the Hu people and hated the gentry was the same. This is my king's thing. The Hu people are not allowed to move, which does not mean that the gentry can move, and whoever moves will die.

If other families have rich ladies and people marry, Sima Ji might even applaud and congratulate him. It was a beautiful love, but this could not happen to the people he knew, and Sun Xiu and his son were even more incompetent.

But he didn't expect Sun Hui to be humiliated like this and directly pursued him. Not only that, Sun Hui also sent a scout to report the city pass ahead with a quick horse and confirmed Sima Ji's whereabouts.

Otherwise, it was a father and son, what Sun Xiu is doing now is similar to that of Sun Hui, but Sun Xiu is drafting an imperial edict to deprive the military power of the general of Zhenbei and the two prefectures of Youping.

"You two left by boat, at a riverside ferry." Sima Ji put down Sima Xuanhua's sisters, assigned twenty Jin Guards to leave with them, and ordered, "Escort the two princesses to Jicheng, and must be delivered."

"Uncle Wang, where are you?" Sima Xuanhua looked at the dark cavalry in front of him. In fact, he wanted to say that he could leave together, but when he spoke, he turned into inquiry.

"When Wang returned from the land, I have such a big goal, no one will pursue you. This is the reason why you change into Xianbei clothes." Sima Ji waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, the world is so big that there is no way out. As long as you have a little more time, I can always reach Jicheng. Let's go quickly, time is tight."
