"Qingxuan's words are reasonable. It is indeed strange that Pingzhou is always under the jurisdiction of the Dongyi School Captain. Now Pingzhou is no longer what it was. There has been no great enemy since your Eastern Expedition. It is time." Sima Jiong nodded with satisfaction. In the eyes of his assistant, the King of Yan asked Pingzhou to establish the Pingzhou Governor's Office, which was obviously to show kindness to him and give him a contribution for free.

Otherwise, why didn’t Sima Ji go to Sima Ying? It would be better to take the initiative to make him more contributions. This has strengthened the prestige of the court. Sima Ji couldn’t help but feel a little moved, “It’s a pity that Qingxuan doesn’t stay in the capital to manage the government. If Qingxuan stays, I can submit a memorial to the emperor again, and the emperor should agree.”

Sima Ji, who had just achieved the position of ruling, had not thought of eliminating dissidents so soon. In his eyes, Sima Ji governed Youping and the other states, and was like a northern overlord. He asked Pingzhou to establish a governor, almost cutting off his own flesh to fulfill himself. It is not an exaggeration to thank him.

Sima Ji was stunned for a moment. He really didn't think so. Pingzhou could not be in a semi-controlled state. One day he would be directly led by the court. It can only be said that Sima Ji was lucky. When he thought of this, he happened to be the other party in charge of the court. What thanks? Sima Ji thought a lot. How could he think so, Sima Ji, such a shameless person, be as great as the other party?

"Are you going to assist in the administration..." Sima Ji hesitated for a moment and said, "King Qi, you should know that all the court officials also know that I like the Legalists and cannot stay in the capital. I can still handle the places outside the border."

"Yes, it was because of this king's negligence." Sima Jiong suddenly remembered this and spoke with regret.

Sima Ji nodded and said no more. This was not only a problem with Luoyang court officials, but also related to this matter, because he used the prison guards group in Youzhou. In the eyes of others, this was a cruel official. Sima Ji had a crush on the past of the Legalists, and it was conceivable how the aristocrats viewed him.

What is the reputation of the Jin Dynasty in the future? One game will be the next.

After Emperor Wu of Han, Confucianism was in power, and the Jin Dynasty advocated metaphysics in a special way. However, many of the gentry still took Confucian standards as their own responsibility, and metaphysics developed with Taoism. Confucianism and Taoism are no different from Legalism in this regard.

The Legalists treated literati and officials with swords and pens. After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the Legalists were often associated with cruel officials, which made it even more sense. After Sima Ji entered the capital, he suddenly released six or seven hundred Youzhou prisoners and cut them off as leeks.

The Legalists specialize in the rule of law and Shangping. The so-called Shangping, no matter the criminal status and crimes are the same, the criminal law is the same. Sima Ji came to Luoyang to kill the royal family and vassal kings, and then used cruel officials to force the court officials to pay the money.

The Jin Dynasty was just a change of power in Wei State. Under its inherent shortcomings, it could only use the royal family to control the army to suppress the gentry. In the eyes of later literati, it was understandable. After all, the gentry's talk about the misleading country can only prove that the Sima family's judgment is correct. At the beginning, the Jin Dynasty was full of contradictions, and the royal family did not need the royal family to wait for a set of process of being copied to usurp the throne. After struggling for a while, it became the Eight Kings Rebellion.

Qin State was evaluated as living in unjustice and dying in sin. Compared with Qin's evaluation, Jin Dynasty was quite reasonable.

Sima Ji entered the capital for a short time and almost showed all the characteristics of the Legalists. As the King of Yan, he advocated the Legalists, had incorrect politics, appointed prisoners, killed vassal kings, forced court officials, treated everyone equally and did not take care of the gentry.

Under such circumstances, he is still in the capital to assist in the government? Even if Sima Ji is really Shengyi, Sima Ji dare not stay in the capital.

Sima Ji reacted quickly and thought of something at once, but after all, Sima Ji took the initiative to request the establishment of the Pingzhou Governor's Office to cut off his flesh, and he also had some intentions in his words that he wanted to compensate.

"The reward for the King of Yan is indeed a bit weak when sending troops. The King of Qi can actually reward the King of Yan to the King of Yan, so that he can express his feelings." Sima Xin immediately understood Sima Jiong's thoughts and suggested, "This should not be over."

"The King of Yan knows the general idea, and I am willing to submit a memorial." Sima Ji thought for a while and made a decision. He also wanted to win over Sima Ji. This would make King Sima Yong of Hejian be more honest.

Sima Ji did not expect that his proposal would be a surprise. He just let the court rule over Pingzhou in name, and the governor of Pingzhou was recommended by himself. In the current situation, maybe the fight would start at any time. He lost nothing at all, and there was an additional county vassal state.

"Then I'm thanking the King of Qi. I'm in the north for one day and I'm willing to guard the northern gate of Jin for the King of Qi." Although it was unexpected, Sima Ji agreed very quickly, without showing any sign of being reluctant to do so.

Once Dai County was transferred to Yan State, there was nothing Xu Meng in Youzhou. The entire Youzhou was composed of Yan State and Fan Yang State, and the governor had no place to rule. Xu Meng's future work was like the governor of Jizhou. He discussed with the vassal kings of Jizhou before doing business, but this was different. Although Jizhou was all divided by the vassal states, most of the vassal kings of Jizhou were in the capital, and Sima Ji almost never left Youzhou.

Even if he was happy, Sima Ji did not show it. There was nothing to be happy about having an extra Dai County, just as he suggested that the establishment of the Pingzhou Governor's Department would not lose money. It was all his own place, and no matter how much it was, it would not delay his words.

After selecting the people of the governor of Pingzhou and Yangzhou, Sima Jie also seemed to have found a little sense of regent. Once the topic was opened, it would not be closed, but the problem still revolved around military power.

Sima Jiong's military power belongs to the Central Plains states. If he had not contacted Sima Xin to lead the Jingxiang army to support him, relying solely on these states that gathered together, he would not have been able to have an advantage over his superior Sima Ying and Sima Jian behind him.

It is definitely impossible to station so many troops around the capital, and the imperial guards do not need to add so many people. It is inevitable to return these troops to various prefectures and counties. How to make these troops obey orders after returning to their prefectures and counties is a big problem.

"In fact, I have always thought that I should strengthen the power of the royal family recently. The son of the King of Chu is notorious. I want to submit a memorial to him to be king." Sima Jiong said slowly, "Although there are many royal family members, there are not many candidates."

"Actually, if your descendants of King Qi are willing, they can follow the army back to Yu, Yan, Qing and other states. If you feel that there is no teaching from the older vassal kings, I really have a candidate to recommend." When Sima Ji heard Sima Ji's intention, he immediately knew that the intention of enthroning Sima Wei's son was a drunkard. This was just to find a reason to start, and the one he wanted to enthrone was his own son.

In history, Sima Ji used a very reasonable trick to spread his power in local prefectures and counties in order to justify his power, which was to adopt his son to a dead vassal king. Sima Ji remembered it. Sima Ji had a son named Sima Ji, who seemed to have been adopted in Yan State, and several other sons were also adopted by other vassal kings.

"King Yan, King Qi asks you again who is the candidate?" Seeing Sima Ji still having a deep thought expression on the King, Sima Xin had to remind him, why did he suddenly wander in the sky?

"Oh, it's okay! The vassal king in the capital, Sima Yao, the king of Dong'an, has the talent to lead troops, and can be placed in Xuzhou east of Sima Yong, so that the army in Yecheng dare not act rashly." If Sima Ji couldn't see it at this time, the other party would be stupid in defending Sima Yong, and that's fine, he was also coveting Sima Yong's Yecheng.

"I am considering it too!" Sima Jiong said tiredly when he saw that it was getting late, "Where will the King of Yan go tomorrow?"

"I will go to the Fanyang King's military camp to pay military salaries. After paying the military salaries, I will go home. After leaving for many days, my concubine must have missed me." Sima Ji beat him up. He didn't think he had another county vassal state. Sima Ji was a good person.

The imperial edict enthroned the Eight Kings, and Sima Yi re-elected the King of Changsha to lead the Left Army. This is a fact that the letter was written in black and white. You should know that the Left Army General of the Imperial Army was Wang Yu. Sima Ji was a little confused in the hall that day. Only in the past few days did he know that the Left Army General Wang Yu had been found a reason for the three tribes. At the same time, the one who was killed was also Sima Rui, the King of Donglai, was Sima Rui, who was Sima Ji's eldest brother.

There are no brothers in politics. First, there were Sima Yan and Sima You. Some time ago, Sima Yao reminded Sima Ji to kill his brother. Now it is not surprising that the King of Qi killed his brother.

Sima Ji's brother was implicated by Sima Ji. Who made the King of Yan first record and kill the vassal king? With such an example, Donglai King Sima Rui's fate of being expelled from the royal family and becoming a civilian was also changed. Sima Ji did not stop and killed him directly.

For several days, Sima Ji was a boy who was a rich man in the army of the kings. In Sima Ying's army, he also saw Li Te. Sima Ji was surprised to see this person. Unexpectedly, Sima Ying actually brought this person out. It was not just that he absorbed the Hu people himself to fight, but compared to Sima Ji's command, the Li Te brothers were no different from those of the Central Plains.

"I heard that the general is brave and good at fighting, and the general is really keen to know the beads." Sima Ji inexplicably praised him, and his behavior was full of princely demeanor. It would be better if he came out to meet on the battlefield and caused trouble in Yizhou.

"I heard that the cavalry of King Yan was very sharp, but I didn't see it at all." Li Te was a little surprised by Sima Ji's expression, but he also spoke up to compliment that Li Te was actually over 50 years old, but his age in this era could not be inferred by common sense. His younger sister was very young and became Sima Ying's concubine.

Sima Ji's situation is another situation. The former king was only thirteen years older than him. This is not considered his two dead brothers. There are all kinds of things in the world.

"If you have time, come and observe. I will never be stingy." Sima Ji knew that he should see him on the battlefield in the future, and he did not say harsh words here. The time for meeting again should not be far away.

"Brother, when this King of Yan talks about his cavalry, he has a look of arrogance in his eyes." After Sima Ji left, Li Xiang, who was silent, said, "I don't believe how capable I can fight. I heard that he came to the capital and didn't fight at all."

"Unreasonable, you are so impulsive." Li Te whispered to his younger brother, "I'm so brave and cruel, but haven't changed for many years."

Sima Ji was still surrounding Luoyang for the army. The emperor of the palace, Sima Zhong, issued an order to enthrone the Dai County to Yan State as a reward for the troops sent by King Sima Ji of Yan. At the same time, he appointed Ge Qi under the command of King Qi as Duke Mouping, Lu Ji as Duke Xiao Huang, Wei Yi as Duke Pingyin, Liu Zhen as Duke Anxiang, Han Tai as Duke Fengqiu, King Dong'an Sima Yao as General Zhendong, governing the military affairs of Xuzhou, Zuo Si as the governor of Pingzhou, and established the Pingzhou Governor.
