Today is different from the past. When Simalun was still alive, the vassal kings who were working as vassals today were all comrades in the same trench. This is because Simalun usurped the throne and gave them a chance to deal with it together.

According to the arrangement of the Dajin Rule and Emperor Wu's death, these vassal kings should not be involved in local administration, finance, and the governors' conscription, dispatch, or even mobilize troops. They all require the emperor's edict to be implemented, otherwise it would be a forgery, which is a death penalty.

Both the King of Chu and the King of Huainan were highly praised, and they both held heavy troops. They were quite majestic when they left the town. They were not all killed by the forgery of edicts, so it was not so easy to rebel against the central government. Even Sima Ji, who occupied two-thirds of Youzhou, dared to make trouble with his own fiefdom and evaluate the strength of the Youzhou army in the name of going to war.

His vassal state was enough to be far away from the emperor, and he had enough space to accumulate strength. Even Sima Ji bowed his head and did not dare to look at Luoyang, and other vassal kings did not have this condition. If he could gain troops as a vassal state, there would be more than eight vassal kings in the entire royal family.

Sima Ji stayed away from home and focused on seizing the affairs of the opposition party to scrape the ground. The other vassal kings were not idle. However, Sima Ji's battlefield was in Tingwei Mansion, and their battlefield was in the middle of banquets. During this period, the alliances and alliances looked for supporters in order to become winners in the final competition. Although it has not been officially disclosed yet, there should be a preliminary result.

"Wait, there are other princes and princes present." Sima Jiong said calmly, "It is related to the safety of the world. We cannot say that we can decide the world in one word. We are all our own family. Do you think so?"

If other princes and princes are present, they will decide the world in one sentence? Isn’t that still part of the royal family? Sima Ji’s lips curled slightly and said indifferently, “I don’t know who was present, is it King Liang?”

"King Liang, I am old, so he doesn't have to worry about this." Before Sima Jiong could speak, Sima Xin, the King of Xinye, said, "Your Highness of the King of Yan should be very happy. Recently, the King of Liang has complained about your actions."

"It's true!" Sima Jihan nodded with a smile. If King Liang didn't come out, this means that the kings in Beijing, represented by Sima Tong, no longer have the right to speak in this matter.

This is faster than Sima Ji imagined. After all, among the royal vassal kings in Luoyang, King Liang Sima Tong has always appeared as an old qualification. Even if Sima Lun usurped the throne, he would be very courteous to the King Liang.

Logically speaking, Sima Tong should have appeared here. If he doesn't appear, it means that Sima Tong has lost his original transcendent status. He also accepted the facts and was no longer invading to compete with the vassal kings who were going out to the town, but he could take it and let it go.

Sima Ji remembered that this King of Liang didn't seem to have a good life for a long time before he died, and it was normal for him to lose his spirit.

"The imperial court first changed a lot, and it was when you and I needed to work together to stand up and support the country and shock the young people." Sima Jiong first talked about unity and changed the subject, "King of Yan, with your talents, you are the most suitable candidate for the government. Can you be willing to revive the court?"

"You are polite to King Qi. Ji's talent is limited to making money. Although he sent troops very early, he did not go through a big battle. He was lucky to enter Luoyang first because he was carrying cavalry. If Ji wants to assist in the government, he can't even pass the Luoyang court officials. They are afraid that I will die now." Sima Ji laughed, thinking that even if Sima Ji wanted to choose one person to test first, could he find a similar candidate? "I am still afraid that these court officials will assassinate him again."

"This time Sima Lun usurped the throne, and King Changshan advocated righteousness. I am very pleased. Now the emperor has issued an order to re-appoint the King of Changsha. The King of Changsha can now return to the capital and have learned everything in the court. It is really gratifying." Sima Jiong smiled and turned to Sima Yi and said, "As long as our royal family is united, the world will not be in chaos."

"The King of Qi is too modest. On that day, the King of Qi entered the city, and the popularity of flags and equipment was shocked by Kyoto. Without you, Sima Lun would not have surrendered so easily." Sima Yi's attitude was also very humble, saying that he would not compete with him.

"What is this about the King of Changsha? It really makes me ashamed of who is better than His Highness of the King of Qin when it comes to the righteousness of the king." Sima Jiong shook his head slightly, looked at Sima Jian who was almost asleep, and sighed, "It was still the fault of my wait. He actually made the King of Qin go on a terrible battle. This is the dereliction of duty of us."

"King of Guangling Sima Han is here!" At this moment, the inner officials' voices sounded outside the hall. Sima Han, who launched a coup in Luoyang, arrived. He was the representative of the royal family in Beijing.

As soon as Sima Han came in, he nodded to the Eight Kings present, and then walked to Sima Jiong. The two nodded to each other, obviously this was also a statement.

In fact, the alliance between each other is not only reflected in the main hall. The strength and positioning of each other have been almost clear. Sima Jiong himself has the most troops, but he has a slight advantage over Sima Jian and Sima Ying's joint forces. Only then did he win over Sima Xin from Jingxiang and let the Jingxiang army stand on his side. In addition, Sima Han, who launched the coup in Luoyang, also let the imperial guards stand in a sense.

As for why the Hejian King Sima Yong, who is not the same army, and the Fanyang King Sima Xu, was attracted, you should know that these two people also have 100,000 troops, which is considered a competitor in a sense. If you keep an appropriate distance, the two will naturally make judgments based on the comparison of strength and weakness.

As for King Sima Yi of Changsha and King Sima Ji of Yan, they either lack strength or bring not much military force. Moreover, Sima Ji himself made it clear that he came for money and only needed rewards and glory, and would not become opponents.

Sima Jiong also saw that the matter was almost done, so he summoned an official to come in and send a message. After a while, Yang Xianrong, dressed in palace costume, appeared in front of the kings with Emperor Sima Zhong, "Greetings to Your Majesty, Queen."

The queen was more prominent, and Sima Ji found out that it seemed that no vassal king except him took Yang Xianrong seriously and was paying homage to the emperor.

"No gifts from all the kings!" Yang Xianrong replied in a calm voice to Sima Ji's eyes. She was just a mascot in the eyes of these vassal kings, and now it seems that he is the only one who takes himself seriously.

"Your Majesty sees it all in his eyes, all the kings punish the treacherous and slandered, and his Majesty nodded to Sima Ji and Sima Jian, and Yang Xianrong raised his red lips lightly and said, "Sima Ji is the Grand Sima, and has added nine tins, prepared materials and policies to assist the emperor in handling the government affairs. Sima Ying is the general, and is in charge of military affairs between China and abroad. She is fake Huang Yue, and records the affairs of the Shangshu, and adds nine tins. She does not go to the court, but goes to court with swords and shoes."

King Sima Yong of Hejian was appointed as the chief minister and the chief magistrate, and was given three gifts. King Sima Rong of Fanyang was appointed as Sikong, and was given three qi.

Sima Yi was again the King of Changsha, the General of the Fu Army, and the Left Army; Sima Han Jin was named King of Guangling, the Minister of Shang, and the Minister of Shizhong; Sima Xin was named King of Xinye, the General of the Military Affairs of Jingzhou, and the General of Zhennan.

"The commander of the King of Yan Sima Ji, Youping, was appointed as the general of the Northern Emperor, and was appointed as the general of the Northern Emperor. He was responsible for his duties! The King of Qin Sima Jian worked hard and made great contributions. He wanted to entrust important tasks, but the King of Qin was sick and ill, so he added nine tins, and did not go to the court, but he went to court with his sword and shoes."

In the end, King Sima Tong of Liang, who did not forget, was considered to be considerate of the elders of the royal family. King Sima Lun of Liang was the priest and the leader of all officials. He was not considered to be respected by the royal family because he accepted the official position of King Sima Lun of Zhao.

"I wonder if the kings have any objections to this?" Yang Xianrong personally read out the imperial edict, and was careful when speaking. His bright eyes swept across the expressions of each vassal king, and he could see everyone's reactions.
