Four hundred and fortieth chapters the world is against
On the Liangzhou plank road, a large army was walking on it at a glance. Sima Ying finally used all his means to eliminate the opponents and became the absolute master of Yizhou. Among them, Li Te's brothers were particularly valued by Sima Ying as murderous blades.
"Luo Shang opened the plank road, and it would be great if he didn't fight me. I will join forces with my brother to fight Sima Lun together. Together with my 120,000 troops, we will have an absolute advantage. Maybe the King of Yan has gone south and the situation will move in a favorable direction for us." Sima Ying sat in the chariot, and said indifferently, "Since the troops have been sent, there is no need to regret it. Sima Lun must die."
"With the joint force of Your Highness and the Qin King's army, Sima Lun will surely be destroyed." Lu Zhi stroked his beard gently, and as Sima Ying's most confidant adviser, he also followed him out.
As soon as he finished speaking, a flying cavalry ran towards Sima Ying's car. The guards around him were about to raise their swords, but the flying cavalry reported the important situation regardless of whether they had reported the situation, which avoided the fate of death.
Sima Ying opened the secret letter in confusion, and her indifferent smile suddenly solidified, her face was gloomy and gloomy, as if she was thinking about something.
"What's wrong with Your Highness? Did Luo Shang block the plank road?" Lu Zhi was shocked and asked hurriedly.
"No!" Sima Ying pulled out a reluctant smile, stood up and held the car and shouted, "It is said that the whole army will accelerate, and we must immediately rush across the plank road."
"The whole army accelerates, and you must immediately rush across the plank road." Several guards around immediately rushed out and shouted at the slowly moving army. Sima Ying's Yizhou army began to speed up.
Of course, the secret letter stated that Sima Jian had retreated to Tongguan. Sima Ying had only hesitated for a moment after receiving this news, but the hesitation disappeared immediately, and there was no turning back. Even if he retreated now, Sima Lun would not let him go. If he sat down and watched Sima Lun grow stronger, when the other party wanted to deal with him, no king would come out to help him. It would be better to take advantage of the King of Qin and King Yan to be there to fight with the other party.
What's more, although the King of Qin was defeated, he had sent Yang Jue to lead the army to support the north before, and with Sima Ying's Yizhou army, some of them were still fighting.
Sima Ying, who was still marching, only knew the news of the defeat of the King of Qin, but she didn't know that Sima Lun had just ascended the throne and became emperor. If he knew, he would not only not retreat, but would instead muster up the courage to fight to the death with Sima Lun.
At this time in Luoyang, Sima Lun, who was sitting on the throne of the emperor, was giving a large reward, which was larger than when he killed Jia before, and more rewards than Yang Jun, Sima Liang and himself added up in previous times.
The Jin Dynasty was the nine-rank Zhongzheng system. At the same time, the Han Dynasty's township recommendation system was also implemented as an auxiliary system. According to the laws of the Jin Dynasty, local governments recommended talents of "virtuous," "scholar", "scholar", "filial and honest", "good general" and civil and military personnel. The court assessed them and only granted official positions only after passing the assessment. After Sima Lun ascended the throne, all candidates who were recommended as "virtuous, blunt, scholar, filial and honest, and good general" in previous years were not directly appointed to officials without assessment.
In addition, all the officials to be inspected in the local counties and states and capitals were transferred to regular office. All the Tai students over the age of 16 and those in various places who had been studying for more than 20 years were appointed as officials. On the day the amnesty was announced, all the magistrates and magistrates in the 2,000-stone county magistrates were awarded marquis. All the Gongcao officials of the county magistrates were recommended as filial and honest officials, and all the Gongcao officials of the county magistrates were recommended as honest officials.
This time, the King of Yan, who was not flattering, came to help solve the problem. Even Sima Ji did not have the ability to help. Once he calculated that the number of people exceeded 10,000, he would find tens of thousands of diaw tails.
As a royal family, both in the capital and in the town, there were rewards, either by officials or by titles. Even Sima Ying, who had already raised an army, received the imperial edict of reward.
Only Sima Jian, who had just returned to Tongguan, and Sima Ji in Youzhou, were not on this list, and there was no one left. On the main roads between east, west, south and north of Luoyang, there were envoys carrying imperial edicts everywhere, informing the world of the news that Sima Lun had ascended the throne. In the eyes of Sima Lun's party, the army that had just defeated the Qin king was at its peak, and all the vassal kings who had left the town would never dare to compete with him.
The closest important town to Luoyang is Xuchang. Sima Xu, who was guarding Xuchang, first received the imperial edict from the new emperor. Listening to the imperial edict read by the internal officials, Sima Xu, who was kneeling down, was full of shock and his eyes were full of confusion.
Sima Yong's face in Yecheng was cold and in an unprecedented tangle, he finally accepted the imperial edict.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty, you have promoted you to the General of Zhendong, so why don't you thank me quickly." After reading the imperial edict, the smiling nephew was waiting for Sima Jiong's reward. Maybe the prince would have received any rare treasures when he was happy. In order to steal the imperial edict to the vassal king, the inner eunuch in the palace could be robbed.
"You mean? Sima Lun usurped the throne?" Sima Jiong looked at the inner servant in front of him with a slight smile. He was such a big head, just right for killing the sacrificial flag.
"Look at what Your Highness, King Qi said... Hum?" The Neiyun was still fantasizing about rewards. As he spoke, his smile gradually disappeared. He looked at Sima Jiong in shock and said, "How dare the King Qi be so rude to His Majesty."
Sima Jiong raised his eyebrows and slapped the table and shouted, "Sima Lun usurped the throne, and the whole world will fight him together. Come on, pull this official out to kill the sacrificial flag, and the subordinate officials immediately wrote a document of confrontation. This king wants to send an edict to the world and call on the vassal kings in the world to fight him together."
Sima Jiong's face was ferocious but strange, but his mouth was filled with a strange expression. He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. From Luoyang, he knew that Sima Lun would usurp the throne sooner or later, so he narrowly avoided the other party's butcher knife and asked the King of Huainan Sima Yun to block the knife for him. Now it is the time to get it back.
Amid the shrill screams, Sima Jiong ordered coldly, "King Yan, King Fanyang, King Hejian, King Xinye, all the vassal kings who are not in the capital will be sent to their jurisdiction, and those who are not out of the town will be sent to their vassal states. None of them will be left behind. The governors and prefects of nearby prefectures and counties are also listed here. The manifesto should state that the rebel Sun Xiu was born in poverty and humble, harming the country and the people, and confusing the king of Zhao. The whole world will fight him. If there is any disobedience, I will definitely kill his three clans."
"Yes!" Zhang Wu stood up and spoke in front of Sima Jiong, "Your Highness should kill you first to monitor your attacks. The army recruited by Wang Chumu is on standby at any time."
Unlike history, Sima Yu did not guard Xuchang, but he returned to Qingzhou where his country was founded. Moreover, Sima Yu was also a vassal king protected by his father. His father Sima You was adopted by Emperor Jing Sima Shi.
Earlier, Sima Yan assigned the wealthy Qi State to his younger brother when he was a feudal. As for suppressing Sima You, it was later. Sima You died and Qi State was demolished to several sons, but the nominal King of Qi was Sima Jiong, and Sima Jiong's brothers were all in Luoyang. Sima You's Qi State, and the servants who followed Sima You to Qingzhou, are still staying in various places for the feudal states. Now, as long as Sima Jiong raises his arms and calls out, the effect of the crowds of followers.
Sima Ji would naturally not forget the inheritance of his father. Several brothers were in Luoyang. After returning to Qingzhou, he naturally visited Sima You's old subordinates without hesitation and asked the other party to help. Besides, Qingxu has always been a densely populated and rich place. Cao Cao surrendered the Qingzhou army and directly pulled out a troops of 300,000. Now the Jin Dynasty is naturally incomparable to the population at that time, but there is still no shortage of people here, at least it is much stronger than Youzhou. It doesn't take Sima Ji to poach people using various means.
One hundred thousand troops gathered together, and in just two days, the nearby Qingzhou was already taken into account by Sima Ji. In addition, the Yanzhou Governor Wang Yan and Jizhou Governor Li Yi wrote back one after another, preparing to respond to Sima Ji's call.
Sima Jiong went further and asked the two to write letters to King Hejian of Yecheng and King Fan Yang of Xuchang, while Sima Jiong directly communicated with King Xinye in Jingxiang. Once King Xinye agreed to stand on his side, Luoyang would be surrounded by all sides.
Sima Ji has been with his two nieces these days. The news of Sima Lun usurping the throne naturally spread to Jicheng. After all, the emperor is the biological father of the two princesses. Although the emperor may not be able to feel the affection, the blood relationship cannot be changed.
"The King of Qin was defeated and retreated to Tongguan, but your sixteenth uncle seemed to have already raised an army. Now Sima Lun usurped the throne, I think there will be no vassal kings who are convinced. Sima Lun is seeking death. Don't be too sad for Xuan Huayan's daughter." Sima Ji comforted her softly, and then asked, "I can still live in Youzhou, but it's a little cold here."
"The furnishings of the royal palace of King Shu's king are very exquisite, even warmer than the palace." Sima Xuanhua said this, and seemed to think of something, and hesitatedly said, "The uncle said that King Zhao would not be convinced by the vassal kings when he usurped the throne. Xuanhua's brother is dead, and the father has no son. Do all the princes want to sit on the throne?"
Sima Ji opened his mouth and smiled bitterly, "It's almost the same. If you were a male heir, you might not be able to do so."
"Uncle Wang, if this opportunity is in front of you, will you?" Sima Xuanhua asked solemnly as he stared at Sima Ji's eyes.
Sima Ji looked at the eldest princess deeply, as if thinking about this issue seriously, and finally shook his head slightly, "If it were other emperors, they might do it, but they won't do it to your father. Uncle has a lot of things to do, and being an emperor will involve a lot of energy."
In order to change to another emperor, Sima Ji had to consider the issue of great achievements and shocking the master. Sima Zhong would not, and he would never be suspicious of his subordinates. He had no heir, so that would be even less problematic.
"Xuan Hua believes in Uncle King!" Sima Xuanhua seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Xuan Hua's problem is a bit abrupt."
"It's okay, this is the descendant of my Sima family." Sima Ji raised his eyebrows, "With this king here, no one can move your father's king's kingdom, just wait and see."
He had to do too many things, and he couldn't dream too much, and he was too greedy, so he just sat in a palace. It would be better to go into Xia Jibo's operation in person, which was better than talking about war on paper.
Furthermore, usurping the throne is definitely not a good thing for a dynasty. No matter how powerful the emperor later was, usurping the throne is a stain or a stain, and being a magnanimous person cannot show that you are right to usurp the throne.
The Jin Dynasty was different from the dynasties after the Song Dynasty, so it could not be compared with Zhu Di, but had some problems like the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin usurped the throne and caused the emperors to follow the Tang Dynasty. Take Li Longji as an example. This Xuanzong had participated in more than one coup, but was eventually kicked out of power by the coup.
The frequency of the central coups of the Tang Dynasty and the problems of the feudal states were almost a replica of the Jin Dynasty's destiny that extended the national destiny of the Jin Dynasty ten times. Continuous internal friction would definitely delay the success of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty could actually do better.
"Your Highness, the King of Qi has sent an edict to the world and call on the vassal kings of the world to fight against King Zhao." Feng Ji ran in with a happy face and shouted as he ran.
