Chapter 461 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey
"It's a good idea." Sima Ying thought about it for a while but did not object. The objection was Sima Tong, King Liang. Because Sima Tong lived in Luoyang, the crime was obviously aimed at the officials in Luoyang, and the kings outside had their own basic foundations.
The opposition was ineffective. Starting from the fact that the vassal kings who left the town led the army back, the vassal kings' voice in the capital was no longer important.
The advantages and disadvantages of this matter are obvious. The advantages are that they can gather the morale of the kings. The disadvantages are naturally that they offend a very large group of officials. Because Sima Lun has a very bad reputation, the group they win over is naturally dominated by poor families, and the group that can be rewarded has not left behind the gentry. Such a large group of officials naturally have both groups of people.
If Sima Jiong and Sima Ying do it themselves, or if they are interested in any vassal king in Luoyang, they would not do it because the risk was too great, which would offend a large number of officials. The dissatisfaction of these officials involved would be detrimental to their assistance.
But if Sima Ji himself jumped out to take risks, they would not disagree. The King of Yan was willing to take risks. Moreover, after offending so many court officials, Sima Ji would definitely not be able to support the regent and automatically withdraw from the ranks of competitors in the prefecture of the court. What reasons do the kings have to oppose it? As for King Liang Sima Tong, how much military power does this old guy have? Since there is no, it is not worth at all. In the eyes of the kings, it is far less important than Sima Ji.
Even Sima Jiong and Sima Ying thought that the King of Yan would not stay in the capital to assist in the government. He would inevitably return to Youzhou and continue to stay in the north to command the army. Then the King of Yan would become a potential competitor and become a partner.
Thinking of this, the two of them became much more kind to Sima Ji without realizing it, and asked for specific details very politely. They just left King Liang Sima Tong aside, and the world was so cold.
"The wealth of the world is in Luoyang. I think that if you only need a breeze to blow your face, you can get enough military pay. It doesn't necessarily require thunder." Sima Ji, who almost grinned his mouth to his ears, forced himself to hold back his laughter, silently saying in his heart that he must pay attention to his eating habits. He will never show mercy when he takes action, but he must have a smile on his face.
The so-called "fear of no worries" is not the same? The King of Yan naturally has no ability to improve all the people to the living standards of the gentry. But there is another way, this method is easier to achieve than making the people rich like the gentry, that is, to make the gentry the same as the people, the poor cannot be eliminated, and the rich cannot be eliminated.
The next day, Sima Yong, King of Hejian and Sima Xu of Fanyang, entered the capital and also went to the palace to pay homage to the emperor. At the same time, he brought news, "Sima Xin has returned to Jingxiang. He said that since the rebellion has been quelled and he has not put too much effort into Luoyang."
"That's right. Several of us are preparing to let General Sun Qi of Pingnan return to the court. Jingxiang really needs a vassal king to take charge. The imperial edict for the title of king will be issued immediately. King Xinye can be in Jingxiang to ensure the stability of Jingxiang." Sima Jiong nodded and said, "It's a good thing, there are fewer people who share the cake, and now there are fewer competitors."
"The King of Qin has arrived outside the city!" Wang Yu also entered the palace at this time and reported to several vassal kings.
"Why don't you welcome the King of Qin quickly." Sima Jie's eyes flashed with a strange look. He smiled and said to Sima Yong. Sima Xun spoke and asked Wang Yu, "Hurry open the palace gate and let the King of Qin come in."
"The King of Qin may not be able to walk in and need to be carried away." Wang Yu lowered his head with a puzzled look on his face, "I will do it immediately."
Wang Yu left, leaving behind a few people looking at each other. Sima Jiong said, "Since the King of Qin has arrived, I will immediately call the court officials to the palace. Sima Lun's matter should be handled completely."
Seeing Sima Jian was bedridden and could only be carried into the palace, Sima Jian couldn't tell what he felt, maybe he was happy. In terms of identity, Sima Jian was the most qualified to stay in Luoyang to assist in the government. As long as the King of Qin said something, he could not rob the other party. Sima Jian was the first to raise troops. In terms of identity, he was the legitimate son of Emperor Wu Sima Yan, his mother was the queen Yang Yan, and the emperor's brother. Sima Ying was not the legitimate son.
But the King of Qin, who was coughing there, was definitely unable to assist in the administration, which made Sima Ye relieved.
The court officials went to court one by one, and everyone was not fake, and seemed to have something to do. Sima Ji, who entered the court at the same time, even felt someone secretly glanced at him. There was no way. There were too many people looking at him, and even could feel the gaze behind him. Sima Ji, who was standing in front, suddenly turned around, everyone bowed his head and said nothing, and he saw nothing.
"Aren't you just asking you to cooperate with the investigation? As for that?" Sima Ji looked back and looked forward and muttered. Many court officials had been harassed by the Youzhou prison officials.
If it were normal times, someone might have submitted a memorial to impeach Sima Ji. But at this time they did not dare. The army of the kings was outside the city, and the army of the King of Yan was composed of Hu people, which made these court officials not dare to act rashly.
I don’t know where Sima Ji found these Hu people. I have never heard of them. Except for the generals from Youzhou, no one knows what these Hu people mean. These Hu people only listen to Sima Ji’s orders. There is no possibility of even pulling them over to launch a coup. Of course, these people are not afraid.
When Sima Zhong came out, all the court officials shouted long live, but only King Sima Jian of Qin did not get up.
At this time, King Liang Sima Xu led the letter, "Zhao Wanglun and his son are in danger, so they should be punished." All officials followed him and all asked to kill King Zhao.
"I am Sima Jian's proposal!" The first person to speak was the weak Sima Jian, who was the first vassal king to raise troops.
After Sima Jian spoke, the vassal kings who came to the capital expressed their opinions, "I am Sima Ji..." "I am Sima Ying am Sima Ying..." "I am Sima Yu," "I am Sima Yong," "I am Sima Yi," "I am Sima Ji," "I am Sima Ji."
Many vassal kings stood up one by one. It is politically correct to kill Simalun now. If Simalun is not killed, what did they do to raise their troops?
"Sima Ji, I am willing to send King Zhao a trip in person." Sima Ji stood up and sighed, "Please accept your favor."
"Then let Qingxuan ask!" Sima Zhong said slowly, "You go to Jinyong City in person."
"Thank you Your Majesty!" Sima Ji showed sad expressions, but he was just pretending. He personally ordered the looting of Zhao State. How could he be relieved if he didn't watch Sima Lun die with his own eyes? Sima Lun's sons are now locked up in the Tingwei. As we all know, the Tingwei has been occupied by Sima Ji's Youzhou prison guards.
